Social giant will donate £3m to Citizens Advice and set up dedicated team to combat fraudulent ads.
MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis has dropped his legal action against Facebook and is backing the platform’s launch of a scam-ad reporting tool.
Lewis sued Facebook last year for failing to prevent and remove false advertising that used his name and image to lure vulnerable people into costly scams.
Today, the TV presenter and advice columnist said he would drop the lawsuit after Facebook pledged to donate £3m to set up a Citizens Advice Scams Action project that will launch in May. The funding will allow the charity to independently undertake scam prevention work, focused on identifying and tackling online scams in the UK.
The £3m donation will be made up of £2.5m in cash over the next two years and £500,000 in Facebook ad credit coupons issued in tranches over the next three years.
Facebook has also promised to create a dedicated internal operations team who will be specially trained to handle these reports, as well as investigate trends and potentially remove ads that are found to be scams. It will also launch a scam-ad reporting tool that will allow Facebook users to "easily and quickly" report suspicious ads.
Lewis said: "It shouldn’t have taken the threat of legal action to get here. Yet, once we started talking, Facebook quickly realised the scale of the problem, its impact on real people, and agreed to commit to making a difference both on its own platform and across the wider sector.
"The amount being donated to set up the Citizens Advice scams action project is far above anything I could’ve won had I succeeded in a court. That shows Facebook’s determination to change things."
The move marks a change in moderation policy for Facebook, whose terms already demand that ads on its platform must not contain deceptive, false or misleading content. It employs 30,000 content moderators globally.
Daniel Gilbert, chief executive of Brainlabs, said the project launch was a welcome improvement to the platform but insisted that Facebook could still do more to crack down on ad scams.
"How refreshing to see a constructive joint solution between two parties like this," Gilbert said. "But it’s not ambitious. Remember this is a company that is able to identify everyone by their face. The logical bridge of transferring that type of technology to monitoring image rights shouldn’t be difficult."
Lewis also called on major online ad platforms, including Google, to "follow Facebook’s lead" and support the CASA project.
After launching the legal action last year, Lewis criticised media owners such as Sky News and The Guardian for publishing fake ads that were served with Google’s AdSense platform.
A Google spokesman said in response: "Because we want the ads people see on Google to be useful and relevant, we take immediate action to prevent fake and inappropriate ads. We have a tool where anyone can report these ads and these complaints are reviewed manually by our team. In 2017, we removed 3.2 billion bad ads and we’re constantly updating our policies as we see new threats emerge."
Facebook, meanwhile, admitted today that "there is no silver bullet" to policing scam ads, particularly as fraudsters continue to adopt more sophisticated techniques.
Steve Hatch, regional director for northern Europe at Facebook, said: "We’re grateful to Martin Lewis for bringing attention to this important issue and for his guidance over the last eight months.
"Our donation to Citizens Advice and our launch of a new UK scam-ad reporting tool and dedicated operations team for this reporting channel is part of a wider commitment to tackling scams and to ensuring people are given more transparency and controls over the ads they see on Facebook."

Petrified Forest National Park – Arizona – i am uniquely and wonderfully made.
At Blue Mesa in Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona.
Petrified Forest National Park is a classic case of not judging a book by its cover. For a place so barren and empty for miles and miles, one has to know the story to fall in love.
Why is this desert highland called a forest? Because a long, long time ago, it truly was.
About 225 million years ago, this part of the then super-continent Pangaea near the equator, was sub-tropical. This place was rich with life, full of forests roamed with dinosaurs, and there were rivers abundant with fish. What is now Arizona had swamps where logs and other plants and animals were washed unto a rich-filled ancient river system and were buried quickly and deeply with sediments that oxygen was suddenly cut off. Without oxygen, the process of decay was delayed for centuries, long enough that minerals like silica were already absorbed into the fibers of the wood, plants, and animals. After thousands of years, the organic structure was already replaced by the absorbed minerals and have all fossilized. Gradual process of erosion exposed the fossilized animals and plants, especially logs.
In geology, petrification is the process where organic material becomes a fossil through the replacement of the original material and the filling of the original pore spaces with minerals. To put it simply, the ancient forest was petrified! Hence, the name.
Petrified Forest was a national monument until in December 1962, it was established as a National Park by US Congress. And like any national parks, it is illegal to remove or damage any specimen. When we left the park, we were asked if we have petrified wood in our possession. Park rangers are legally empowered to search vehicles. A violator is subject to a fine and/or imprisonment. Any legal purchases of any petrified specimens at a gift shop is advisable to have a receipt.
Petrified Forest National Park covers about 230 square miles. While there are hiking trails available around the park, there are also overlook points that are conveniently on the side of the road accessible by car. Giant logs was our first trail since it is easily located at the back of Rainbow Forest Museum and Visitor Center. Giant logs trail is only a half-mile loop that showcases the colorful petrified giant logs as the name suggests.

The Petrified Forest is a result of a process that took thousands of years. Erosion exposed these vast land of petrified plants and animals, but this one of the logs along the Giant Logs trail that still needs more time and more erosion.

Jasper Forest road is a 2.5 mi (4 km) round trip hike around a petrified garden. The National Park Service’s website says that this area was originally called First Forest because it was the first collection of petrified wood travelers encountered when they came by wagon from the Adamana train station one hundred years ago. We did not hike. We only parked the car and walked towards the lookout view which was still memorable.

Perhaps the most photographed part of Petrified Forest National Park, Painted Desert as its name clearly suggests, is like a watercolor art that has come to life. The beautiful mix of red, white, and brown stripes on every mound, a little touch of green desert vegetation in early spring, and the sunset in the horizon highlighting the vast badlands, is fantastic! My legs were starting to feel exhausted from all our hikes for the day, but I did not want to leave this gorgeous landscape.

Petrified Forest stretches north and south between I-40 and Highway 180. Westbound I-40 travelers should take Exit 311, drive the 28 miles through the park and connect with Hwy 180 at the south end. Travel 19 miles on Hwy 180 North to return to Interstate 40 via Holbrook. Eastbound I-40 travelers should take Exit 285 into Holbrook then travel 19 miles on Hwy 180 South to the park’s south entrance. Drive the 28 miles north through the park to return to I-40.

Almost midnight and we finally arrived in Albuquerque, happy and contented.
Interesting back roads trip! Thanks.
Great scenery, enjoy the trip. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for visiting and reading our travels too! :) I truly appreciate it.
Thanks for giving me an idea for next year’s roadtrip. Where did you lodge adjacent to the Petrified Forest?
We actually stayed at Ramada in Kingman, AZ the night before we went to Meteor Crater and Petrified Forest, and drove to Albuquerque, New Mexico and stayed at Best Western Plus Rio Grande Inn for the night.
We also had this place to ourselves when we visited a number of years ago. I loved the petrified tree trunks, and the various shades and shapes of the surrounding landscape.
It is actually amazing that they were not all carried off in the past, before there was a National Park, sadly!

Clay Minerals (2013) 48 (1): 1-20.
Detailed multi-scale characterization of the kaolin quality and the controlling depositional environment is crucial for optimal quality upgrading and for prioritizing potential exploitation areas. In the present work, the quality of El-Tih kaolin, Egypt, was investigated using the chemical/mineralogical characteristics as well as the field observations of the clay. Chemical analysis of major oxides was carried out using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDS-XRF) spectrometry. Mineralogical analyses were carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy coupled with wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-WDS). Spatial heterogeneity of the quality was evaluated applying kriging geostatistical techniques and potential zones were identified.
Results clarified an upward gradual deterioration of the quality via a decrease in the Al2O3 content and thickness of the clay layers, and an increase in the TiO2 content. According to the kriging maps, areas of high potentiality indices (PI) characterized by high Al2O3 and low SiO2 content and maximum thickness of the kaolin are located to the west and east, and decrease toward the central part of the study area. The high PI zones are dominated by pseudo-hexagonal platy kaolinite, often forming accordion- and book-like aggregates with subordinate quartz and traces of Fe and Ti oxides, yielding minimal TiO2 and Fe2O3 contents. These zones of high PI are considered optimal for exploitation. Kaolinite was formed as a result of intensive weathering of rhyolite/granite and basalt in the source area, and subsequent erosion, transportation and deposition of the weathering mantles in a flood environment with marked depositional energy variations. Results allowed comparison with worldwide kaolin occurrences, and suggested the suitability of the studied kaolins for use in paper coating and filling and in higher-grade ceramics, after removal of free Fe- and Ti-oxide impurities.

I just ran the update for MarketPress 2.2 and the payment gateways disappeared. There are none to select on the Payment tab. How do I fix this?
That's really strange - you're actually the second person with the same issue I've had today.
Can you tell me how you updated the plugin? Was it auto-update or manual?
If you are using multisite check that they are enabled in network settings too.
I used the automatic update. When I discovered the problem I then ftp'd a fresh copy of the plugin just in case one of the files got corrupted or something.
I am running a multi-site installation, but I only activate MarketPress on a couple of my sites. I just tried activating it on the main site and all the payment gateways are listed there. The other sites still do not show any options for payment gateways. One site lost all its settings during the upgrade, and now I can't re-activate the payment gateway.
Sounds like something happened to the network options on your site. Please try visiting the Network->Settings->MarketPress and resave the settings there. You will need marketpress activated on the main site to do that.
Also do you happen to be running Multi-db?

These days with a tap on a touchscreen is all it takes to share your daily activities and thoughts with your closest ones and even the world. Instagram has made its mark as a popular social app, with accounts set up personally by owners for their Pets.
Dogs are known to be the most expressive by many, that’s a fact we can’t deny, but what about other animals, and more specifically, Rabbits? Upon reviewing these Instagram accounts we are more and more convinced that Rabbits are indeed misunderstood to be non-expressive. Bunnies may be quieter than most Pets, and are often the subject of Pet abandonment worldwide.
But did you know, with proper care and effort spent on bonding, your Buns could actually turn out to be a charming companion with a bag full of surprises?
Let’s take a look at these ten Instagram accounts with proof of their Bunnies amusing antics and everyday lives, from enjoying a treat, taking a walk outside, getting a good rub down and even snuggling with one another. Give yourself a reason to go dawww with a good dose of warm fuzzy feelings!
On the contrary to just gaining fame, most of these owners are actually supporters of Pet adoption. Rabbits are often bought on impulse due to their irresistible cuteness and later on abandoned or mistreated. Failure to realize the immense responsibility that comes with these tiny furry creatures is usually the cause. Some of these owners use these accounts to educate the public on Rabbit care and others. Cute yet informative, a lethal combination for the crowds!
We add on to the list scrupulously, check back for more!
At the top of the list with the largest following is BunnyMama. What started out as an account for the first two Bunnies Eddy and Rambo (our condolences, R.I.P Eddy and Rambo) has now grown to be a family of five rescued Rabbits (Moo, Bowie, Taffy, Oli and Ellie) enjoying their lives currently in Vancouver, Canada.
Follow the adventures of these lovely Angora Rabbits Otis and Suki as they live their happy lives being cared and adored by pawrent Molly. This account was named after her first bun Wally (our condolences, R.I.P. Wally). The journey continues with fun times of Otis and Suki in Massachusetts, USA.
This was Wally watching the Amazon truck pass our mailbox without making a delivery. Even when he knows he didn't order anything, he always has a sliver of hope that somehow he'll still get a package.
Exempel the Mini Lop from Sweden follows his Mom everywhere, making new friends outdoors with a good bit of exploration time, and posing pretty for the lens. Hop onto the wagon with tons of other followers and join Exempel’s fun lifestyle and mini trips.
Another Instagram account that has grown to house more than one Bunny, Life of Mill is now home to two more Buns, Stella and Princess, living their cage-free life in Sweden! Get up-close and personal with a dosage of Bunny noses, and enjoy tranquility amongst picturesque locations in the company of three beautiful Bunnies.
. 💚 Evening walk with this little lady 💚 .
Another account hailing from Sweden, meet Melvin and Bianca as they show you the right way to thoroughly enjoy a good rest, on your beds! Let Melvin and Bianca’s owner show you how a minimalist Bun pad ought to look like, bunny-approved.
Its the infamous hat-wearing Bunnies from Japan, two adorable, chubby Buns always snacking in carefully selected head-wear. Join their lovely adventures indoors and outdoors in their lovely hometown.
Sweet looking Buns from Japan here to wow you at how much they resemble Rabbit woolly figurines. Top it all off with adorable hats, and you've got a fluffy bunch of hoppers. Honestly, we couldn't tell them apart in some photos!
This account handle is none other than PuiPui’s owner, only the most fashionable and trendy Rabbit in the whole world from Tokyo, Japan. PuiPui dons a myriad of outfits lovingly handmade by owner Mumitan. We wished we were with PuiPui as it enjoys outings with mom in adorable Rabbit sized clothes fit for every occasion. Do we hear you screaming 可愛い kawaii?!
Meet Toro the Netherland Dwarf from Japan! As though his adorable expressions aren't enough, Toro spends his days with a miniature him, and dons on costumes that are dapper and way too cute sometimes.
Reuben is a Rex Rabbit from Melbourne, Australia. Reuben spends much of his time munching on dandelions, snuggling with the house Cat and receiving artwork done up specially by his many fans. Flower crowns have never looked better on a Rabbit.
Follow the small lives of Maribow and Yukinko from Japan, as they show you how stylish and extra adorable Rabbits can look with pretty costumes and hats.
Live the City life with Cleo, an English Angora from New York City and his mom, Diana. Cleo enjoys company with people of all ages and spends its time with mom being the spotlight of many events. It’s almost unbelievable how picture perfect Cleo looks in all of the photos! City-mouse, who?
Last but not the least bunch of Rabbits from Sweden is Io and Kili, a pair of extremely loving Buns that can’t ever get enough of each other. Feast your eyes on one of the cleanest and most minimalistic Rabbit photo-journal, as they show their fans how Rabbits are capable of love.
Gaze upon the daily life of Lucas, an all-white English Lop with tremendous ears and appetite for blueberries. Flap about with those ears and this large bun and his bright blue eyes. P.S. Video-heavy account!
Considered to be a small animal available as a domestic Pet, Rabbits are very popular amongst children due to their attractive physiques. Unfortunately, the lack of research and education leads to many bunnies getting abandoned worldwide. As with every Pet, preparation, time and effort goes a long way to maintain a healthy and happy life for them. If you aren’t ready for the responsibilities to come, avoid the impulsive choice of obtaining a Pet. The above are some examples of great Pet ownership, it isn’t tough to make life pleasant for your furry pals by your side!
What Is My Rabbit Thinking?

A 18 minutes documentary film about the BDS campaign: boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel. From the Gaza war end 2008 till the flytilla in July 2011. “It’s a matter of pression, not persuasion,” says Lisa Taraki, professor at Bir Zeit University. Also an interview with Omar Barghouti, founding member of the BDS campaign and many many action pictures.
BDS is the single most peaceful action Palestinians have to implore. Israel is an Apartheid hateful entity bent on liquidating all Palestinians, and erasing any and all memories and culture of Palestine. Most peace loving people of the world are in support of this action in solidarity with their Palestinian brothers and sisters.
Israel knows only actions not words. Palestinians have been talking peace with Israel for years to no avail. BDS is the way to get through the thick skulls of Zionist Israeli leaders. World pressure combined with BDS is the only way forward.

The Hudson Valley Community College (Troy, NY) The Hudson Valley Community College (HVCC) provides a photovoltaic installation programme that educates college graduates to enter the growing PV world. HVCC, in collaboration with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), created a www.hvcc course programme to address the anticipated high level of PV roof system and PV installer requirements.
The Hudson Valley Community College is one of the premier community centers in the United States. Hudson Valley has been in operation for more than 40 years and is part of the State University of New York. More than 12,000 full- and part-time staff members work at the school every year. Based in Troy, N.Y., it provides more than 60 diploma and certification courses on its economic, Engineering and Industry technology, healthcare science and fine art and science schooling.
The Hudson Valley is recognized by the Commission on Higher Education and is a member of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. It offers university and sporting institutions such as the Bulm Telecommunication Centre, videoconference and teleconference rooms, correspondence courses and the McDonough Sport Centre. It also offers various forms of students' assistance, such as the academics promotion programme, pepper tuition programmes, education and guidance programmes for minorities, a centre for the disabled, intelligent start-up projects and a nursery for Vikings.
La Salle has launched a programme in 2009 to offer pupils more options for more than 20 elective subjects and computer sciences, physical sciences and mathematics classes. With the exception of physical sciences, these classes are additional to the elective and mathematics classes already provided by La Salle.
Some of our chosen undergraduates have the opportunity to study calculation on the La Salle campus or take the corresponding course at the HVCC. Calculation credits fo r students earning an A or Bi degree at HVCC are adopted at many universities, includ-ing RPI and Cornell. There is a constant change in the syllabus of science, with a new emphasis on alternative energies and nanosciences.
The HVCC is developing into a nationwide education guide in both areas. The admission of physicists to the HVCC not only equips our pupils with binary high schools and collegiate accreditations (8 credits), but also with a physical education syllabus that will prepare them better for the new age. To meet our HVCC programme, La Salle's timetable has been adapted to allow pupils to attend classes at the HVCC during the first or last time of the year.
Almost 80% of our senior citizens use this programme. With the exception of physical studies, HVCC undergraduates attend the course at their own cost. 50% of the course is paid by physicists. HVCC Dual Credit is open to qualifying candidates.

The lake is most famous for its sunken ancient Roman ships. These ships were very large and technologically advanced for their time. On the Western edge of the crater at Via Nemorense, there is a fine exhibit of the archeological excavation of the late 1920s which exposed the enormous structure which Caligula had ordered built. Emperors Caligula and Tiberius sailed on Lake Nemi not merely to cool off in summer, but to assert themselves as Nemorensis, rulers aligning with the Stars, wedded to Earth's perpetual life-force.
Oriolo Romano was founded in 1562 by Giorgio Santacroce around a Palace (or Palazzo) he had acquired from the noble family Orsini and which was surrounded by woods. Oriolo Romano has a very clearly planned structure with three parallel streets leading to a square closed by a large palace. The main palace, maybe designed by Il Vignola, was modified in the late XVIIth century after Oriolo Romano was acquired in 1671 by the family of Pope Clemens X (1670-76). It is a complex building which seen from different angles appears as a town palace, a villa and a a fortress.
The most romantic resort on Lake Bracciano: Trevignano Romano is a picturesque medieval hamlet stretching along shores of Lake Bracciano near Rome. The beautiful medieval hamlet of Trevignano Romano together with a tree-lined lakeside promenade will be make a perfect backdrop for your Wedding pictures ! Walking through the streets of the mediaeval hamlet, you come to the spectacular Parish Church of "Santa Maria Assunta" where Catholic Weddings are celebrated all year round.
Ariccia was the capital of the Latin League and at the end of the 4th century B.C. and became one of the most important Roman communities because of its geographical position between two volcanic lakes, Albano Lake and Nemi Lake.
Here, you can absorb all the atmosphere of its medieval Hamlet, visit one of Europe's most beautiful feudal Castles or relax at the lake, taking advantage of the many water-sport activities that the area offers. Bracciano is full of small restaurants, pizzerias, coffee shops, bars and shops.
Tivoli Wedding Hall is located in the medieval heart of the town near Villa D'Este with picturesque views over Rome.
Three romantic medieval towns have been built on the lake's shores: Bracciano, Trevignano Romano and Anguillara Sabazia. Also the territories of Oriolo Romano with a magnificent view of the lake from its main square, face the basin of the lake. The lake is surrounded by forests, olive groves, natural monuments and botanical gardens which are linked to the volcanic activity: the surroundings of the lake are rich of attractions, protected and well preserved by the natural reserve of the regional Park of Bracciano and Martignano.
Get married in Rome, the Eternal City! Rome, Caput Mundi, the Eternal City, the ideal location for your Wedding in Italy! Celebrate the beginning to a wonderful life together in Rome. Say "I do" in Italy’s Capital City and let the Romans' natural love of romance, sweep you away to "La Dolce Vita". Rome, the "Eternal City", is the capital of Italy and of the Lazio (Latium) region.
Latium has great importance for history, art, architecture, archaeology, religion, and culture . The immense patrimony of the city of Rome forms only a part of the treasures spread all over the hundreds of towns, villages, abbeys, churches, monuments, and other sites of the region.

Red Bull Arts Detroit will present its first artist residency exhibition of the year will feature new artworks created by Miatta Kawinzi, Tiff Massey, and Patrick Quarm during the artists' three-month long, live-in residency. The exhibition will be open to the public from April 12-June 2, 2019, with an opening reception held on Friday, April 12 from 6-9pm.
From photographs of African-American hair salons to paintings on "Ghanian" fabrics produced in Indonesia, the works in this exhibition explore the artists' own relationships to black material culture and physical space, and the resulting compound identity from their import and export.
Tiff Massey is an interdisciplinary artist from Detroit, whose practice is inspired by African standards of economic vitality, and counts the iconic material culture of 1980s hip-hop as a major influence. Massey uses contemporary observances of class and race through the lens of an African diaspora, combined with inspiration drawn from her experience growing up in Detroit. For the artist residency exhibition, Massey has created an installation revolving around her interest in traditional African hair-styling techniques. The installation is fitted with custom wallpaper comprised of photos from the interior of a local African-American hair salon, on which she has mounted black canvases that have hair extensions stitched into them displaying a variety of different hairstyles. While still engaging the narratives of adornment, armor, and power that previous bodies of work have been concerned with, by incorporating the politics of black hair and the physical space of the salon, undercurrents of care, nurturing, and the importance of creating space for that (specifically for black women) also come into play. Simultaneously powerful yet tender, Massey's new work deftly unpacks the phrase "Don't touch my hair."
Miatta Kawinzi is a New York-based filmmaker and multi-disciplinary artist known for creating sculptural, sound, and video installations on the themes of selfhood, diaspora, and belonging. Born in Nashville to a Liberian mother and Kenyan father, Kawinzi grew up moving through various geographic, cultural, and linguistic spaces, which informs her work and interest in hybridity. For the artist residency exhibition, Kawinzi will present Libration, a sculptural sound and video installation that is a meditation on the pliability of barriers, and on methods of breaching confinement to find alternative ways of engaging with space. During her residence at Red Bull Arts Detroit, Kawinzi responded to how the land and the city are partitioned-all of the highways and freeways cut across the city, allowing for movement while simultaneously creating stark lines of division. Through poetic, abstract movements, Kawinzi investigates the Detroit's complex history of land use, bringing to mind the city's "urban re-development" projects throughout the 20th century that decimated many African-American communities. There is an inherent hopefulness in the work, as Kawinzi points to the human ability to stretch and maneuver not only ourselves around or through a barrier, but to also move and stretch the barrier itself. The movements she performs in the video speak to the fluid, flexible, and adaptable nature of the human spirit and drive.
MIATTA KAWINZI is a NY-based filmmaker and multi-disciplinary artist known for creating sculptural, sound, and video installations on the themes of selfhood, diaspora, and belonging. This past December, Kawinzi was named the winner of the second Barbara Hammer Lesbian Experimental Filmmaking Grant for her forthcoming work, SHE GATHER ME. Kawinzi's work has been exhibited at institutions such as the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; Anthology Film Archives, New York; Aljira Center for Contemporary Art, New Jersey; BRIC, Brooklyn; and A.I.R. Gallery, Brooklyn, among others.
TIFF MASSEY is an interdisciplinary artist from Detroit, Michigan. She holds an MFA in metalsmithing from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Massey is a 2015 Kresge Arts in Detroit Fellowship awardee, as well as a two-time John S. and James L. Knight Foundation's Knight Arts Challenge winner and a Michigan Chronicle 40 Under 40 award recipient. Massey has participated in several international residencies including Ideas City (in Detroit, Athens, Greece and Arles, France) hosted by The New Museum of New York and with the Volterra-Detroit Foundation in Volterra, Italy. Tiff Massey's work has been widely exhibited in both national and international museums and galleries.
While working on a forthcoming book about how the myth of neutrality manifests in cultural institutions and museums, Laura Raicovich has been thinking about what neutrality means, how it can possibly exist, and how, if it can exist, might prove useful. In a society that is beyond polarized and in need of repair, can cultural space become a place we hold in common? What might it take to achieve this space? In the form of a slide-lecture, Laura will recount stories and pose questions that have grown from her research, particularly focusing on the writings of Roland Barthes on neutrality, the thinking of Christina Sharpe on the relationship of intergenerational histories on the present, and Jeanne van Heeswijk's prompts to re-imagine spaces and scenarios for living together. Raicovich will offer a space of "practicing for the not yet," in Jeanne's formulation, as a location for collective dreaming, and to seek a cultural space which can hold our differences as well as our commonalities with generosity and resilience.
The Slideshow Series is a programming format shared between Red Bull Arts Detroit and Red Bull Arts New York that invites artists, curators, community activists, technologists, scholars, musicians and others, to present an area of interest or expertise. Employing the customary format of the slideshow as an educational tool to share ideas with an audience, Red Bull Arts Detroit asks each participant to rethink how they can best engage the public on a topic of importance to them, and to consider how the shape of that presentation has the potential to ignite dialogue. Slideshows are intimate in nature and take the form of performative lectures, research presentation, poetry readings, sound performances and more.
Please join in on Saturday, April 27th from 7-10pm to celebrate the launch of the seventh edition of Barbed Magazine with live music and performances. The Red Bull Arts Detroit Micro Grant, received by Arturo Herrera, partially funded the production of this issue, entitled "Southwest Detroit."
The evening will showcase work by some of Barbed #7's featured artists including Karilú Alarcón Forshee, Leslie Rogers, Elton Monroy Durán, and DJ sets by Daniel James and Zbornak. The magazine will be available for purchase at the event.
Of the new edition, Herrera says, "with Barbed issue #07, we wanted to capture artists' perspectives on collaboration in Southwest Detroit by focusing our attention on grassroots organizations and how they function as an occupational model for artists. We sought out to discover autonomy by generating vibrant public spaces, works, and ideas through collaborative performances. As a magazine, we see the need for the return of storytelling in real time. Barbed wishes to share the stories of artists in the region so our readers can understand their impact on the community. We are very proud of our artist selection and the content created for this issue."
Barbed #7 is supported in part by the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Ford Foundation, Southwest Airlines, and the Surdna Foundation through a grant from the NALAC Fund for the Arts Grant Program, and by Red Bull Arts Detroit Micro-Grant.
The Red Bull Arts Detroit Reading Room series invites artists, writers, curators, community organizers, scholars, and more to present on a text of particular importance to them. Red Bull Arts Detroit asks the presenter to bring the text to a public who might have never encountered it before, and to find a way to translate the importance or meaning of the work to the audience. Following the presentation, the text will be added to the permanent collection of the Red Bull Arts Detroit Library, alongside an artifact created by the presenter.
The first Reading Room session will be held on May 7 with presenter Carleton Gholz, Founder and Executive Director of Detroit Sound Conservancy. Gholze will give a presentation on architectural historian and art collector W. Hawkins Ferry's The Buildings of Detroit, an essential book for a Detroit-located library. Published in 1968 by Wayne State University Press at the height Michigan modernism, Ferry documents and narrates what he sees as the built history of Detroit from the long destroyed "River Rouge Indian Mound" to his own, still standing, mid-century modernist home in Grosse Pointe Shores. In this talk, Gholz will take Ferry's book as a point of departure for a discussion of the pressures on historical thinking, art criticism, and preservation in Michigan since the late '60s. After 50 years of neoliberalism, what capacities and supportive institutions do we have as Michigan and Detroit residents to provide criticism or new monographic support to Ferry's high modern panoramic history? And, attempting to look beyond neoliberalism, can and will there ever be a "Green New Deal" for historians and the libraries that could support their work?

As a person who has been married for all of two entire weeks, I think we can all agree that I'm an official expert on all things marimonial. I mean, I've figured out how to return housewares purchased by well-meaning but confused relatives (I'm 33, don't you think I probably already own a blender?) and I have mastered how to reply to the question "So, when are you going to get pregnant?" without ripping out anyone's spine, Mortal Kombat-style — how much else could there be to learn? But in the weeks leading up to my marriage, a few of my married friends made off-hand comments about the part of marriage that they were least prepared for — and it wasn't, as I had anticipated, the cold, creeping terror of realizing that one of you is going to die first (it also wasn't a sudden uptick in weird sexual requests). Instead, my friends were surprised that, no matter how you run your finances, the way you file taxes changes as soon as you get married.
I did know that married people seemed to file taxes differently from single people — but much like information about how to make creme brulee or start a fire using only a magnifying glass and a cardboard toilet paper tube, I had filed it away under "maybe learn about that later." But later is apparently now. Because as soon as you get married, the government starts to consider you and your spouse a single financial unit. They don't care how you two personally divvy up the takeout bill — when it comes to taxes, you're treated as if you combine all income.
So how do married people file taxes? And why do they have to file them differently than unmarried people? Here's what you need to know.
For starters, married people have the option of filing taxes jointly (combining all your financial information, and filing your taxes as a single unit) or separately (filing them the same way you did when you weren't married). The government is very, very eager for married people to file taxes jointly — choosing to doing so makes it easier to deduct a bunch of stuff and unlock all sorts of other next-level tax goodies. But what if those deduction benefits don't apply to you, or you don't care about them, and simply value keeping your finances separate enough that you're willing to pass over a few deductions this year?
That's the boat I was in — my husband and I keep completely separate finances; we don't even have accounts at the same bank. Why would we file our taxes together? This is when I learned that tax brackets are different for married people, and even if you file separately, you'll be subject to higher married-person-specific tax brackets. If you check out the IRS's tax bracket info for 2015, you'll see that, after you earn a certain amount of money, it takes less income for married people to be knocked to the next tax bracket than single people, even if they file separately.
Ugh, I know, are you eyes glazing over yet? I mean, mine are, and I'm writing this! But if you're ever planning on getting married, it's important to know — especially if, say, you're recently married, eating yogurt for three meals a day because you somehow still spent too much money on your "no-frills wedding," and recently realized that your entire retirement plan is just the words "make an app that's liek Tinder but diffrnt" scrawled on a cocktail napkin. So, please, stay with me.
But What Does Being In A "Higher Tax Bracket" Actually Mean?
Marriage changes taxes most for people who are paying more than 25 percent of their income to taxes. If you're single, you'd have to earn more than $90,750 to enter the next tax bracket, and start paying 28 percent of your income to taxes.
But if you're married, you only need a combined income of $151,201 to be bumped up and pay 28 percent — a combined income that breaks down to $75,601 per person. $75,601 is also the income point at which married people filing separately get bumped up to the next tax bracket, even though they're filing separately. $75,601 is still a lot of money to be earning each year, but it's also $15,000 less than $90,750 — meaning that if two members of couple both earn $76,000 a year, they're being taxed way harder than their single friends who earn the same. This phenomenon is known as the "marriage penalty."
So, basically, filing separately doesn't show your financial independence from your spouse to the IRS, who still will tax you as if you are a single unit. In fact, according to TurboTax, the top reason that you would file their taxes separately once you're married would be to "protect yourself from inaccurate tax information reported by your spouse...[or because] your refund cannot be seized to pay off your spouse's debts." Uh, yikes.
Conversely, couples where one partner doesn't work pay lower taxes as a unit than they would if both partners were unmarried and filed on their own — this is known as the "marriage bonus." If you've heard about families with kids and two working parents talk about why one of them quitting their job to stay home "makes more sense" than continuing to have two incomes, the "marriage penalty/bonus" system is partially responsible.
Of course, issues that kick in after you start earning $75,000 a year should probably be filed under "nice problems to have" (and, in the interest of full disclosure, not a problem I currently experience). But couples with low combined incomes also suffer from the "marriage penalty" — combined incomes may make married couples ineligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit, which they each would have qualified for had they remained unmarried.
None of this is too mind-blowing, of course. But as someone whose relationship happiness is probably at least partially based on the fact that my husband and I never see each other's bank balances, I was surprised to find out that the IRS had other ideas about how married people should behave, and that I was subject to them now. I thought I had found the perfect way to get the practical benefits of marriage — health insurance, end-of-life decision-making rights, etc — while neatly side-stepping anyone else's ideas regarding how we should actually be running our marital lives. I thought I had hacked society's marital expectations completely! But I was wrong. It still shows up in the damndest places — like my accountant's office.

There are probably more Chinese in Los Angeles than in any metropolitan area outside of China. The same very likely could be said of Mexicans, Iranians, Koreans, Japanese and more, which is what makes Los Angeles the best international eating city in the world.
You’re as likely to hear young lovers discussing epistemic theories of truth as you are to see them smooching.
It’s referring, of course, to the Claremont Consortium, or what the Fiske guide once called "The most extraordinary assemblage of educational excellence in the nation."
Yes, LA is very diverse. And yeah, there’s great food (I have discovered a korean bbq that rival’s my favroite Han’s hibachi in San Francisco). But, the sheer overwhelming and unpractical size of Los Angeles is a barrier to getting to know any significant part of it intimately. This intimate knowledge is what leads to an index of the cutty little restaurants where you will be treated to a delicious meal for cheap. So, the not-quite-as-diverse San Francisco, with it’s neighborhoods all smashed together is still my preference. And if anyone is interested in my opinions of the best food in SF (for under ten dollars, most of the time) ask.
You’ll have a great time at CMC. I graduated in 1984 and have good memories. It is a stellar place that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The access to top-notch professors is really outstanding – among other things, do a a few research assistant gigs if you can.
Later in life, you’ll be amazed when you look back on who you worked with while you were there.
What an awesome place to launch a buisness, sounds very exciting. Alot more than Corvallis, Oregon with 50,000 people where I’m living now. Although I’m grateful for what I have, it would be incredible to move down there.
One of my goals is to move to silicion valley, where my grandparents are already located. But LA is interesting to look at too.
Hows the pollution, I hear u can smell the fog there?
Wes – I currently live in San Francisco. I move to LA in fall ’07.

International students age 15yrs+ may attend Earlscliffe in order to complete a 3 Year A-Level programme or to complete only one of those three years, the ITY. A minority choose to complete ITY over two years, taking GCSE exams at the end of their course.
Why choose the Earlscliffe ITY?
A two year A-Level course is not easy and rather than risk difficulties due to a lack of academic English or sufficient previous subject knowledge, some students prefer to take this general academic preparation course to make sure that when they do start their two year Earlscliffe A-Level programme they are well-equipped to succeed academically.
ITY students may choose either the examined or non-examined route: some will sit final GCSE/IGCSE papers and others may not wish to risk attaining any lower grades (ie. Cs) which may later impact university offers.
Other students from overseas prefer to take the Earlscliffe ITY as a year away from their own system, to perfect their English, study academic subjects and get involved in boarding college life as fully as possible, with the aim of returning home to their former school and national system after completing the ITY with us. Such students would ordinarily be classified as UK Year 11 or Year 12.
The weekly timetable is made up of lessons in the following areas: Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences for half of the teaching schedule and English Language studies for the other half. ITY students complete a recognised Oxford University short course during their year with us and have the opportunity to choose from a variety of courses including history, history of art, computing and modern languages.
ITY students are taught by our usual Earlscliffe academic staff.
ITY students participate in the standard Earlscliffe Orientation Week in September with all new students. This includes both academic and social orientation culminating in a London Weekend at the end of the week.
ITY students participate fully in sports, cultural activities, academic enrichment opportunities and everyday college life alongside their A-Level counterparts. All students are integrated socially. The usual hallmarks of the Earlscliffe A-Level programme are applied to the ITY: small classes (maximum 9 per teaching group); weekly TRaC™ testing to monitor performance and progress, and intensive teaching. A limited number of places are available for students wishing to spend one or two terms with us on the ITY.

Enjoy a cycle or walk along this large reservoir in the Cambrian Mountains. There is a good track running along the northern shore of the lake which makes for a nice traffic free cycle or walk. It runs for about 6 miles starting at the Claerwen Dam car park. There are lovely views across the water to the surrounding hills and countryside.
If you would like to extend your exercise in the area then you could visit the other reservoirs in the Elan Valley by heading south along the River Claerwen to Caban Coch Reservoir where you can pick up the cycling and walking trails. You could also try the Teifi Pools Walk which starts from the nearby Strata Florida Abbey near Pontrhydfendigaid.

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt grew close during the prep sessions of their film, Brahmastra. After months of rumours, Ranbir Kapoor finally admitted in an interview to a magazine earlier this year that he is in a relationship with Alia Bhatt. Alia also admitted in an interview that she is in a relationship.
Ranbir and Alia have been together for almost a year now. The couple has been spotted in Mumbai on dinner dates and Alia visited Ranbir and his family in New York recently. Ranbir and Alia have met each other’s family and she even shared on Koffee with Karan 6 that she has bonded with Ranbir’s mother Neetu Kapoor. The couple made their first public appearance together at Sonam Kapoor Ahuja’s wedding.
Alia in an interview with a leading magazine, when asked about her dialogue in her film, Dear Zindagi, “Is there someone like ‘the one’? What is this perfect one exactly? Mere liye toh koi perfect hona chahiye na.,” Alia replied, “Yeah, I think I have”. She further added that in love she is an ‘affectionate, beautiful person’. “I have stars and a halo on my head, and I’m walking around with rainbows. I like to keep it simple and sweet,” she said.
Talking about love, she said that the first time she fell in love was in kindergarten when she was infatuated by a boy and they used to look at each other in class. Alia shared that she may not talk about her personal life, but she does not try to hide her feelings. “Actors, in general, are very vulnerable. Ours is the life on display for constant judgement. I’m very affected by judgements about my professional life. I even get worked up if my director is stressed about something. I can only act in front of one camera,” she said.

Mega Memory by Kevin Trudeau Scam or not?
I haven’t ordered the Mega Memory kit myself, but by now enough people have sent me Email that I have a good idea of what it’s all about. Additionally, recently I stumbled across a Mega Memory book in one of my local bookstores (“Kevin Trudeau’s Mega Memory: How to Release Your Superpower Memory in 30 Minutes or Less a Day” – I hopethat’s an accurate title… I was in a hurry and had no pencil or paper with me, and I’m embarassed that I didn’t do a better job memorizing the title!), so if after reading this you’d really like to try Mega Memory and you can’t afford the kit, you can at least try to find or order the book (or even see if it’s in your local library – you might be surprised).
Anyway, in this document I’ll do my best to tell you briefly what I know about Mega Memory and the person who developed it. Hopefully it will be able to clear up some misconceptions and at least give you a good idea of what to expect from the product.
Mega Memory users Liz Johnston, Leslie Rogers, John Whittle and a couple of others have told me that Mega Memory is a lot like the memory techniques presented in these web pages (and in many books). This is exactly what I expected. Obviously, Kevin Trudeau, the creator of Mega Memory, isn’t inventing some bizarre new suspicious technique, but he is simply reviving memory techniques that have been around for thousands of years. But now it’s in a nice, new exciting package with booklets and cassette tapes. And since information on memory techniques is hard to find these days, people don’t even know that such techniques exist, so when they see Kevin Trudeau on television it must be a godsend.
While his claim of a photographic memory is a stretch, I have found it very useful. I use an expanded “Tree List” as he calls it and a modified Phonics List to memorize just about anything. I can easily remember names, and phone numbers, but I find it especially helpful in memorizing lists. I have memorized the 42 Presidents and the dates they took office and also 55 of the major battles of the Civil War and their dates, (History is my Hobby) and many other shorter lists. I can go for months without using the lists and recall them easily.
I have found that by using Mega Memory regularly my everyday memory seems to have improved. By the way I borrowed the Mega Memory and Advanced Mega Memory from my local library so it didn’t cost a dime. I didn’t find Advanced Mega memory as helpful as the first, I don’t think I would spend the money for it.
Should You Get Mega Memory?
Now that you know you can possibly go to the library and get Mega Memory, or that you can read these web pages on memory to get a lot of information, should you still order the kit? I would say that it depends on what kind of a learner you are. Here in these web pages you can quite possibly find everything you need. But if it’s really hard for you to get motivated, the kit might be a great thing… cassettes, flash cards, full-color booklets… essentially all kinds of stuff to take away your fear, make it look as easy as possible and motivate you to do the “work” (yes, improving your memory does involve “work”: i.e., practicing memory techniques until they are second-nature to you).
I have been told that Mega Memory has been used by many large corporations and it is the world’s #1 selling memory improvement course. Several people have told me that Mega Memory has worked for them. Does this mean it will work for you? Not necessarily, but as I’ve stated earlier, Kevin Trudeau did not invent some revolutionary new techniques. It’s just that with this course they are packaged in a more exciting way.
For those of you interested in Kevin Trudeau, the author of Mega Memory, an interesting article about him appears in the June 1999 issue of Brill’s Content Magazine. The article does not talk about memory techniques, but it focuses on Trudeau’s character and his amazing ability to sell products.
The article is pretty fair, and the overall impression that you get after reading the article is that Mr. Trudeau is a master salesman and doesn’t mind bending the facts and appealing to your emotions to make the sale.
An interesting question comes to mind: If Kevin Trudeau allegedly sells products that don’t live up to their promises, should we distrust Mega Memory? Let me point out that just because Kevin Trudeau sells something does not mean that the product is bad. Indeed, as I’ve stated earlier, Mega Memory appears to be very helpful to many people. Mr. Trudeau could very well sell both good and bad products. (Indeed, he probably could sell anything!) Also, Mega Memory seemed to be his big success, the product that made him popular and a lot of money. He founded the American Memory Institute. As for Mega Speed Reading and Mega Math, I’m not entirely sure, but I believe that these products were not developed by him, but rather sold and endorsed by him. Also, there isn’t any Speed Reading Institute or Super Math Institute that I know of.
Finally, I can tell you myself that the memory improvement techniques posted on the Memory Page work. Mega Memory utilizes many of these techniques, I’m sure. But there are also books available by other authors, not just Trudeau. Essentially, there is good, scientific information to support memory improvement.
I guess that makes sense. Well, when I myself refer to association in these web pages, I am assuming that you will think of pictures in your mind rather than words. For example, to associate “car” and “cookie jar”, it would be too hard to try to remember the other word based on the letter C, but it would be very easy to picture both objects in your mind… perhaps the cookie jar is on top of the car, and as the car drives away, it slides off and crashes to the ground. That’s a very memorable picture. Of course, this is just a hypothetical example; in practice the objects that are linked together are not arbitrary (maybe in this case you were trying to remember that Dr. Carr lives on Jardot street).
Anyway, that about wraps up what I know about Mega Memory. I hope it helps!
I sent you my email adress below it appears you know of others in re memory dev.

A SP member wrote this on his blog.
Despite all the information there is about alternative medicine and how not only does it not work, but that infact it can even be harmful, people still use it and believe that it really does work.
Science based medicine is an incredible thing and can cure many diseases and fix a lot of things that can go wrong with the human body, but unfortunately it can't cure every disease, or fix everything that goes wrong with our bodies (not yet atleast). So when science based medicine can't fix or cure what ever is wrong with us (or atleast not doing so in a way that is fast enough for us) some people, even rational people, might become desperate enough to use alternative medicine.
This sort of situation especially happens when someone has a terminal disease and they are told by their doctor that there is nothing they can do to cure what ever it is that is killing them. Some people will not accept this and will seek out anything that is claimed to be able to cure them (even if all the evidence says otherwise).
Because alternative medicine isn't manufactured by the pharmaceutical companies (who are for profit businesses) it is assumed by some people that alternative medicine must be cheaper than science based medicine because they believe that the people who are manufacturing these alternative medical products are not doing it for a profit, plus when a person is told about a product that is suppose to be cheaper and work better than the conventional product, people tend to buy the supposedly cheaper product.
Now if you seriously believe that alternative medicine is cheaper than science based medicine, and that people who make these alternative medical products are not doing so for a profit, then I know a Nigerian prince that wants to give you $15,000,000.
Probably the best form of advertising there is is word of mouth. You don't do have to pay for anything, and people tend to trust the opinion of a friend or family member over a creative ad in a newspaper or a TV commercial. Same thing holds true with alternative medicine.
Lets say you've been sick for a while and you have been taking some medicine for what ever has been ailing you, but so far it has had little to no affect. You tell a friend or a family member about your health issues and they might recommend that you take some herbs, or to go see this "doctor" that they recommend (who turns out to be an alternative medicine practitioner and not a real doctor) because they claim that it helped them, or it helped someone they know. Because you trust the person whom is recommending this "doctor" or this product, you might be more willing to see this "doctor" or try this product than you would if some stranger had told you.
Science based medicine (or modern medicine, or real medicine as some people like to call it) is a great thing. It has cured a lot of stuff, and has extended our average life expectancy by years, but it can also be pretty harsh at times as well. Because of this some people might either choose to stop using a science based medical treatment because they feel that it has become to harsh on them and that they believe that it might kill them if they continue to use, and so they decided to use alternative medicine instead because they believe it will help them without any side effects, or they might already know (or atleast believe) that the medical treatment that they've been recommend that they do could or will be harsh on them, and they decide to forgo it and use alternative medicine instead.
Whether is be religious, or cultural, or even personal, our beliefs in whatever form it may be shapes our thinking and what we do and what we trust, and if there is something about an alternative medicine that appeals to a person's beliefs, or if there is something about science based medicine that person considers taboo, the person might be far more willing to use alternative medicine even when it clearly doesn't work and that science based medicine clearly does work.
Some people might chose to use alternative medicine rather than science based medicine not simply because they believe it is better than science based medicine, but because they believe that science based medicine is actually dangerous.
It shouldn't be to surprising that many supporters of alternative medicine also tend to be conspiracy theorists who believe that pharmaceutical companies are greedy and are only putting out products to make money without care of whether or not a product is dangerous, or intentionally putting out a product that will make us sick so that they can make more money off of us that way, or are part of some "New World Order" and are putting out dangerous products as a way to either control us or slowly kill us.
It should also not be surprising that many people who believe such conspiracy theories also believe that pharmaceutical companies are also trying to suppress information about alternative medicine, and are even going so far as to try to outlaw alternative medicine. Because of this belief it can make many people believe that alternative medicine is not only the right choice, but the only choice.
One of the main reasons why some people use alternative medicine is because they already used it before for something else and as far as they are concerned it worked.
Now the two biggest reasons why someone might think that alternative medicine actually works after they already used it and it appeared to cure what ever was ailing them is either because they took it along with the real science based medicine and they simply assumed that the alternative medicine either helped cure them, or was what really cured them. Or they might not have used any science based medicine and that their body simply healed itself, but because that they used alternative medicine they assume that it was the alternative medicine that healed them and not their own bodies.
Because some people who have taken alternative medicine and believe that it really did work they might forgo using any science based medicine and use only alternative medicine, or atleast continue to use it along with science based medicine.
There are a lot of websites and books out there about alternative medicine and it's alleged "benefits". Many of these books and websites contain "information" mostly in the form of positive stories about alternative medicine and how it's "helped" certain people by telling you their stories of how it's supposedly cured them while at the the same time bad mouthing science based medicine by claiming it wasn't working, or that it was killing the person, or by putting in information that makes science based medicine look harmful, or just insert a bunch of pharmaceutical industry conspiracy theories.
Sometimes these books and websites will take it a step further and have a real doctor claim that some kind of alternative medicine really works, or perhaps the book was written by a real doctor, or the website is run by a real doctor, and because something is written or run by a real doctor, it might cause some people to believe that there is something to this alternative medicine.
They got scammed into it.
Despite all that we've learned from snake oil salesmen of the 19th century, people still get scammed by con-artists and quacks who get people to buy useless products because they have been lead to believe that said product works and will cure what ever is ailing them when all it is is really junk.
Be either through an ad on the internet, or directly from the mouth of the person selling what ever they are selling, people to this day still get suckered into buying stuff that does not work. The fact that alternative medicine even exists today and that there are companies that manufacture and make billions off of this stuff is proof of that.
Awesome u got my twit!
