Oumuamua is a small asteroidal object somewhere between 100 – 1000 meters long and is considerably longer than it is broad. Basically, it looks like a slab of rock, and is currently passing through the solar system on its way to wherever. It is our first observation of an interstellar object hence the bracketed formal name: 1 for first, I for interstellar. How do we know it came from interstellar space? Its orbit has been mapped, and its eccentricity determined. The eccentricity of a circular orbit is zero; an eccentricity greater than zero but less than one means the object is in an elliptical orbit, and the larger the eccentricity, the bigger the difference between closest and furthest approach to the sun. Oumuamua was found to have an eccentricity of 1.1995, which means, being greater than 1, it is on a hyperbolic orbit. It started somewhere where the sun’s gravity is irrelevant, and it will continue on and permanently leave the sun’s gravitational field. We shall never see it again, so the observation of it could qualify it for entry in “The Journal of Irreproducible Results”.
Its velocity in interstellar space (i.e.without the sun’s gravitational effects) was 26.3 km/s. We have no means of knowing where it came from, although if is trajectory is extrapolated backwards, it came from the direction of Vega. Of course it did not come from Vega, because when it passed through the space that Vega now occupies, Vega was somewhere else. Given there is no sign of ice on Oumuamua, which would form something like a cometary tail, it presumably came from the rocky zone closer to its system’s star, and this presumably has given rise to the web speculation that Oumuamua was some sort of alien space ship. Sorry, but no, it is not, and it does not need motors to enter interstellar space.
The way a body like Oumuamua could be thrown into interstellar space goes like this. There has to be a collision between two rocky bodies that are big enough to form fragments of the required size and the collision has to be violent enough to give the fragment a good velocity. That will also make a lot of dust. The fragments would be assumed to then go into elliptical orbits, but if there are both rocky planets and giants, the body could be ejected in the same way the Voyager space craft have left our solar system, namely through gravity assists. If the object is on the right trajectory it could get a gravity assist from an earth-like rocky planet, then another one from a giant that could give it enough impetus to leave the system. This presumably happened a long time ago, so we have no idea where the object came from.
Notwithstanding that, Oumuamua brought Vega to my attention, and it is, at least for me, an interesting star. That, of course, is because I have published a theory of planetary formation that is at odds with the generally accepted one. Vega has about twice the mass of the sun, and because it is bigger, it burns faster, and will have a life of about a billion years. It is roughly half-way through that, so it won’t have had time for planets to evolve intelligent life. The concentration of elements heavier than helium in Vega is about a third that of the sun. Vega also has an abnormally fast rate of rotation, so much so that it is about 88% of what would be required to start the star breaking up. This is significant because one of the oddities of our solar system is that the bulk of the angular momentum resides in the planets, while by far the bulk of the mass lies in the star. The implication might be that the lower level of heavier elements meant that Vega did not form cores fast enough and hence it does not have the giant planets of sufficient size to have taken up sufficient angular momentum. The situation could be like an ice skater who spins very fast, but slows the rotation by extending her arms. If the arms are very short, the spin cannot be slowed as much.
The infra-red emissions from Vega are consistent with a dust disk from about 70 – 100 A.U. out to 330 A.U. from the star (an A.U. is the distance from the sun to the Earth). This is assumed to have arisen from recent collisions of objects comparable to those in the Kuiper Belt here. There is apparently another dusty zone at 8 A.U., which would have to have originated from collisions between rocky objects. So far there is no evidence of planets around Vega, but equally there is no evidence there are none. We view Vega almost aligned with its axis of rotation, so most of the usual techniques for finding planets will not work. The transiting technique of the Kepler program requires us to be aligned with the ecliptic (which should be aligned with the equator) and the Doppler technique has similar limitations, although it has more tolerance for deviation. The Doppler technique detects the gravitational wobble of the star and if you could detect such a wobble directly, you could see it from along the polar axis. Unfortunately, we can’t, at least not yet, and worse, detecting such wobbles works best with very large planets around small stars. Here, if you follow my theory and accept the low metallicity, we expect small planets around a very large star. Direct observation has so far only worked for the first few million years of the star, where giant planets are radiating yellow to white light from their surface temperature that is so hot because of the gravitational accretion energy. These cool down reasonably quickly.
What grabbed my attention about Vega was the 8 A.U. dust zone. That can only be generated by a number of collisions because such dust zones have to be replenished. That is because solar radiation slows dust down, and it gradually falls into the star. So to have a good number of frequent collisions, you need a very large number of objects that could collide, which effectively requires a belt of boulders. So why have they not collided and formed a planet, when the standard theory of planetary formation says planets are formed by the collision of boulders to form planetesimals, and these collide to form embryos, which collide to form planets. In my ebook, “Planetary Formation and Biogenesis” I provide an answer, which is basically that to form rocky planets, the collisions have to happen in the accretion disk, and they happen very fast, and they happen because water vapour in the disk helps set cement. Once the accretion disk is removed, further accretion is impossible, other than from objects colliding with a big enough object for gravity to hold all the debris. Accordingly, collisions of boulder-sized objects or asteroids will make dust, and that would create a dust belt that would not last all that long. The equivalent of the Kuiper Belt around Vega appears to be between 3 – 6 times further out. In my theory, if the planet accreted in the same as the sun, it would be approximately 8 times further out. However, lower dust content may make it harder to radiate energy, hence accretion may be slower. If this second belt scales accordingly, it could correspond to our asteroid belt. We know occasional collisions did occur in our asteroid belt because we see families of smaller fragments whose trajectories extrapolate back to a singe event. So maybe dust belts are tolerably common for short periods in the life of a star. It would not be a great coincidence we see one around Vega; there are a huge number of stars, we see a very large number of accretion disks, so dust belts should turn up sooner or later.
Finally, why does the star spin faster? Again, in my theory, the planets accrete from the solid and take their angular momentum, but then they also take angular momentum from the disk gas through a mechanism similar to the classical Magnus force. Vega has less dust to make planets, hence less angular momentum is taken that way, and because the planets should be smaller there is less gravity to take angular momentum from the gas, and more gas anyway. So the star retains a higher fraction of its angular momentum. All of this does not prove that my theory is right, but it is comforting that it at least has some sort of plausible support.

Very interesting, Ian. Planetary formation is a subject in formation… and crucial, for giving us cosmic hope and purpose, an arrow for civilization…. Seems to me you are saying that HABITABILITY, usually interpreted as the water zone, also influences planetary formation crucially. I like it, a lot.
The subject is as philosophical as philosophical can be: Giordano Bruno was tortured for 7 years, and burned alive, after mutilations, just for claiming there were other star systems, with planets… (that offended the Jesus myth…).

There is a European mission going to Venus, it’s going to take years, using planet assist to… BRAKE!
I think your idea that Venus got different because it was too hot for water to start with is spectacular…. But I have a problem with the fact the Sun (Sol) output is supposed to be 25% less 4 billion years ago… So it should have allowed water… Venus being at the limit of habitable zone…???
Oh, Venus had water. Just not as much. The water was, in my opinion, brought by binding with aluminosilicates. If cool, they can absorb a lot but as it warms, the amount they can absorb falls off quickly. The closer to the star, too, the more of the basaltic rocks formed large lumps. So the ratio of basalt to aluminosilicates increased the closer to the sun, and the ordinary silicates were much drier (like enstatite chondrites). Because the disk was dusty, probably sunlight was not that important – the heat came mainly from the gas still falling into the star, but the closer to the star, the more the stellar heat became significant. The prediction is that Venus does not have that much granitic material as Earth does (which is our continents).
The significant question is where did the atmosphere come from? In my opinion, only solids accreted, and the carbon and nitrogen accreted as solids (carbides and nitrides, and other compounds) The closer to the star, the hotter, and more of these were accreted by Venus than Earth. The gases are formed by reaction of the carbides, etc with water. What happened was that Venus ended up with far less water, because of the heat, but more of these solids, and basically, most of the water was consumed by making the atmosphere. The reason for the exceptionally high D/H ratio is the chemical isotope effect, where the probability of a hydrogen atom being sent to space would be between 4 to 25 times greater than a deuterium. (The chemical isotope effect varies depending on what the reaction is.) The water oxygens provide the current CO2. The higher temperature is also why Venus has about four times the nitrogen than Earth has. Maybe I should do a bigger post about this.

Come to The National Museum of Mexican Art, where you can immerse yourself in the richness of Mexican art and culture right here in Chicago. Whatever your background, you’ll connect to this museum on a very personal level.
We showcase 3,000 years of creativity from both sides of the border, connecting museum visitors to the diversity of Mexican culture.
You’ll find us in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood. Here, in the heart of the city’s Mexican community, our 10,000-piece permanent collection meets the highest museum standards. Our pieces and exhibitions travel to museums around the globe because the quality of our collection is highly valued. But here at home, the museum is always free.
Our curators are experts in Mexican art and their passion for the museum is contagious. You’ll pick this up at every turn, from the up-close-and-personal placement of the art to the bilingual stories that guide you through the galleries. Over the years we’ve inspired and empowered tens of thousands of children and youth through arts education programs. They may be studying to be career artists or learning new ways to express themselves. Kids of all ages work together in our after school classes, summer camps, and teen mentorships.
In 1982, Carlos Tortolero organized a group of fellow educators and founded the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum, which opened its doors in 1987. The goal was to establish an arts and cultural organization committed to accessibility, education and social justice. The museum also provided a positive influence for the local Mexican community, especially since many other art institutions did not address Mexican art.
Over the years, the institution has grown, its audience has broadened, and its reach now extends across the United States and beyond. To support this evolution, in 2001, the museum expanded to a 48,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art facility in the heart of Pilsen and in 2006 we unveiled a new name, the National Museum of Mexican Art. While our presence has grown, the NMMA remains true to our founding mission: To showcase the beauty and richness of Mexican culture by sponsoring events and presenting exhibitions that exemplify the majestic variety of visual and performing arts in the Mexican culture; to develop, conserve and preserve a significant permanent collection of Mexican art; to encourage the professional development of Mexican artists; and, to offer arts-education programs.
Today, the National Museum of Mexican Art stands out as one of the most prominent first-voice institutions for Mexican art and culture in the United States. We are home to one of the country’s largest Mexican art collections, including more than 9,000 seminal pieces from ancient Mexico to the present.
As the only Latino museum accredited by American Alliance of Museums, we recognize our unique responsibility to present exhibitions of artistic and cultural value and to deliver high-quality education that demonstrates the breadth and depth of Mexican art, culture and history.
Twenty of our exhibitions have traveled across the United States and six have traveled to Mexico. Landmark exhibitions that have traveled include The Art of the Other Mexico (1992), Maria Izquierdo (1996), The African Presence in Mexico (2006), and Frida's Contemporaries:Women Artists of Modern Mexico (2007).
The National Museum of Mexican Art also hosts cultural programs — including symposia, theater, dance, music, authors and performance companies — that share the rich diversity of the Mexican culture. Our annual Sor Juana Festival honors the accomplishments of Mexican women with women’s performances.
As a nonprofit institution, the NMMA is funded by donations and grants. Learn how you can support the National Museum of Mexican Art.
The National Museum of Mexican Art defines Mexican culture as sin fronteras (without borders), and our programs and exhibitions capture the wide range of Mexican cultural expressions and art forms, from ancient to modern and on both sides of the border. We represent the Mexican community from its own point of view and in its own voice.
We believe in art as a bridge between communities, and we believe that art in education expands minds and breaks down barriers while preserving cultural heritages. The National Museum of Mexican Art offers a wide range of educational programs for children and families, teens, school groups, and educators. Our art exhibitions, performance arts and educational programs are experienced by more than 130,000 visitors annually, including 58,000 K–12 students.
The National Museum of Mexican Art is also a national leader and mentor for cultural institutions and community organizations, and for our advocacy of “first voice” and cultural equity issues. From building a world-class institution in Chicago’s largely Mexican American neighborhood of Pilsen to creating groundbreaking exhibitions and forming partnerships with institutions in Mexico, the National Museum of Mexican Art has a history of being bold and activist in our approach and reach.

HOMEPAGE // News // The 100,000th van rolls out of Renault's SoVAB plant!
Renault's teams have risen in record time to what was a considerable challenge in manufacturing terms.
Launched in April 2010, the vehicle is now available in more than 350 variants: front- and rear-wheel drive, GVWs ranging from 2.8 to 4.5 tonnes, plus a choice of 26 body types, four lengths and three heights.
The vehicle has emerged as a huge hit in sales terms, with Renault enjoying a record 14 percent share of Europe's big van market (up to end-May 2011). This marks an improvement of two points over the same period in 2010 and reinforces the lead Renault has enjoyed in the European LCV market since 1998.
Thanks to this success, the Batilly plant was able to recruit 90 additional staff during the first half of 2011.
The 100,000th big van rolled out of Renault's SoVAB plant (Société de Véhicules Automobiles de Batilly) in eastern France on Monday, July 11. The landmark figure speaks volumes for the vehicle's success, and orders for Renault Master have increased by 40 percent compared to the same period in 2010. The brand's 14 percent share of Europe's big van market up to end-May 2011 represents a rise of two points and 16 percent over the first five months of 2010.
And this success isn't restricted to Europe either, since it is mirrored in the Euromed region where the vehicle enjoys a market share of 17.9 percent (up 49 percent).
The SoVAB plant has pulled out all the stops to meet this growing demand which has resulted in full order books. Production rates have risen sharply, while 90 people were taken on during the first half of the year, allowing the factory to run two-and-a-half shifts. Everything is now in place for the unprecedented production rate of 600 vehicles per day to be reached by the last quarter of 2011.
From New Master's launch to the availability of all 350 versions of the van in all its markets took a little more than one year, a remarkably short period of time given the immense challenge it represented in manufacturing terms. Indeed, while the broad variety of variants means that the needs of business customers are comprehensively covered, it has naturally made production more complex. "All those involved in the project produced a remarkable team effort," says Pierre Monflier, Factory Director. "Their unfailing commitment and motivation enabled us to make all 350 variants of New Master available in time. That's an achievement we can be proud of, and our biggest reward is the response of our customers which has resulted in full order books."
"The Renault network is a big plus!"
The 100,000th vehicle was delivered to the Colas Group which took delivery of its New Master at SoVAB's premises on Monday, July 11. Philippe Brissonneau, the Group's Equipment Director, explained his firm's choice of a New Master chassis cab which will go on to be converted into a dropside platform by Renault Tech: "We have worked with Renault for some years. Indeed, Renault is a fairly straightforward choice because our activity calls for reliable vehicles which match our needs at the lowest possible price. Renault has always met those requirements. We are convinced that this New Master will be even better than its predecessor, which is a vehicle we know very well. Being able to depend on Renault's network is obviously a big plus, too!"
New Master is the third generation of Renault's big van. In addition to the range's breadth, the model features extensively revised, robust styling and sharply lower running costs (down 40 percent), thanks notably to the fuel efficiency of the new M9T engine which is made in Cléon, France.
New Master is also more driver-friendly, while work has gone into stowage solutions and innovations like pivoting and retractable tables, Carminat TomTom Live navigation and Bluetooth connectivity that make the cabin a genuine office on wheels.
Business Vehicle of the Year 2011 (L’Automobile et Entreprise, France).
Utility Vehicle of the Year 2011 (L’Argus, France).
Van of the Year 2011 in Denmark and Lithuania.
Van of the Year 2010 (Van Fleet World Honours, UK).
Transporter of the Year 2010 (Kep, Germany).
Established in France's Meurthe et Moselle region in 1979.
1,802,410 vehicles manufactured since 1980.
It is the only factory to produce New Renault Master.
SoVAB also assembles the New Opel Movano.

Glad I finally picked this book up off my shelf! The first part on writing tasks, or assignments, or just getting the words onto paper at last, wasn’t terribly mind-blowing. In fact the reason I finally read this, because of the reference that Marlo Skyhorse made to her plot structure, she attributes to another writer!
But the second part, on the writing life, really struck a chord with me, and I’ve dog-eared the passage on morals, and another on the purpose of it all, that I can see myself rereading in the years to come.
This book is very readable, conversational, and quickly moves from philosophical attempts at explaining what it is that is so great about writing, and jokes that made me want to share the book with all my writer friends. I should note that while I understand that Lamott’s humor is off-brand there was only one (as far as I could tell) joke that should have been left out. I think we understand more about each other now than we did even as little twenty years ago when this was published.

MILFORD ZORNES (1908-2008)...Born: Camargo, OK.
Studied: Otis Art Institue (Los Angeles, Pomona college (California).
Member: National Academy of Design, American Watercolor Society, California Water Color Society.
Milford Zornes grew up in Oklahoma, Idaho and California. He loved to travel, so at twenty years of age, he hitch-hiked across America, worked on the New York docks, and then shipped out for Europe. By 1930, he was back in Los Angeles studying art with F. Tolles Chamberlin at the Otis Art Institute. Zornes became very interested in watercolor painting and took additional study in this medium from Millard Sheets at Scripps College.
By 1933, Milford was exhibiting his watercolors and receiving awards. As a result of his art production for the P.W.A.P. art Project, he was given a one-man show at the Corocan Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. One of his watercolors was selected by President and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt to hang in the White House and an enormous amount of publicity followed. Within a very short amount of time, Zornes went from being a California watercolor student to being a nationally recognized artist.
Over the next few years, Milford Zornes concentrated on painting a number of high quality watercolors for exhibitions in California, Texas, Washington, D.C., Ohio, Kansas, New York, Illinois and other parts of America. When Larson P. Cooper formed the California Group traveling show in 1937, Zornes was one of the twelve artists picked to represent California watercolor painting. On the West Coast, Zornes also became known as a gifted instructor of watercolor painting. Throughout this period, he was an active member of the California Water Color Society and was president of that organization in 1942.
When World War II broke out, Milford was drafted into the United States Army and was assigned to be an official war artist in the China, India, Burma theatre. For nearly three years, Zornes painted on location in those countries and turned most of the art over to the War Department art collection housed at the Pentagon. He also had an art show in Bombay during this time.
After the war, Milford moved around California for a while, and eventully settled in Claremont. From there, Zornes took a trip to Alaska and a series of trips to Greenland. All the while he was painting, teaching, and exhibiting nationally. Gradually, he developed the idea of traveling watercolor workshops. This combined his favorite things to do; travel, paint watercolors, and help others to enjoy the same. Zornes became one of the finest watercolor instructors in America and has been to nearly every part of the world at one time or another.
In addition to painting and teaching, Milford Zornes worked as a mural artist, authored a book about his art and travels in Nicaragua, produced fine art prints.
Milford Zornes was also the subject of a book, which he co-authored, titled MILFORD ZORNES published by Hillcrest Press, Inc. in 1991.

Do you use a Music App in your studio? The UMT Music App is the only Music App with a matching Music Theory Workbook! The Basic Rudiments Workbook and matching Music App is a great resource for Teachers to have.
In our blog “Piano Music App ipad – Panic to Playing”, Glory shared how she used the Music App with her student.
I'd like to share 5 Ideas on when to use your Music App in a lesson.
Be sure to share your ideas on when to use the Music App in a lesson in the comments at the bottom the blog. We love to hear your ideas! Thanks for sharing!
For Teachers who do “lab time” or “shared lesson” time, while teaching one student, the other student can use the Basic Rudiments Music App. No need to teach two students at the same time – you can focus on one student while the other student is working on their own theory with the Flashcard Music App.
Make a chart showing each student’s name, and then 12 columns with Lessons 1 – 12. As each Student completes the Flashcards in each lesson, they can check off in the appropriate column. Have some “fun competition” to see who can complete all their Flashcards first.
Do you ever have a student show up a few minutes (or several minutes) before their lesson time? When this happens, hand them the Studio iPad and let them see how many Flashcards they can correctly identify before their lesson time begins.
Okay, we are only human. Sometimes we need to make a quick trip out of the Studio, whether it is to use the washroom or just to reheat our coffee. Make a game of it. How many Flashcards can your student complete while the coffee is reheating?
While you are organizing your student’s books, reviewing their homework, answering any notes from mom & dad or just taking a minute to polish your lesson plan, have your student complete a lesson of flashcards. Roll the dice to see which lesson they have to complete. If a dice falls off the table when they roll, then they automatically have to do Lesson 1!
Are you ready to DRAMATICALLY improve your music theory knowledge FASTER than you ever thought possible? UMT's acclaimed Basic Rudiments Workbook is now available with the adaptive Brainscape Flashcard platform!
CHALLENGING & FUN - UMT has partnered with Brainscape to create the most efficient "intelligent flashcards" system on the planet.

The thing about Bryce Harper is that it is irresistible to imagine him on your team. What club wouldn't be improved -- and made massively more fun -- with him on it? It's exciting just to imagine him wearing your uniform, bashing home runs in your home ballpark, wrecking fools as your fans go crazy. Dodgers fans want him, Phillies fans want him, Cubs fans want him, Yankees fans want him, Cardinals fans want him. ESPN even put together a Choose Your Adventure Game to help decide where Harper should go. The Harper sweepstakes have been baseball's favorite parlor game for nearly three months. We can't stop playing it.
But so much of this offseason has revolved around where Harper might be going that we've forgotten to consider what would happen if he stays put. In light of the news that Harper has continued to meet with the Nationals about a possible deal -- despite reportedly turning down a 10-year, $300 million deal last September -- it's worth remembering that Harper really could just remain in Washington. We've gotten so caught up in Scott Boras, photoshopping new jerseys and the Dodgers moving parts around to free up right field that we've overlooked the possibility that Harper doesn't want to go anywhere at all. In fact, we've assumed for so long that Harper's leaving that we haven't considered what would happen if he stayed.
1. The Nationals would immediately become the favorites in the National League East again.
Also, you may remember that the Nationals already signed the top starting pitcher this offseason, Patrick Corbin, giving them a Top 3 of Max Scherzer, Corbin and Stephen Strasburg. Fold in the bullpen additions of Trevor Rosenthal and Kyle Barraclough, and this looks like the best team in that division, even with Josh Donaldson on the Braves. Sure, the Nats supposedly had the most talent last year too, but we saw how it turned out. Seriously, that potential 2019 lineup looks terrifying.
2. The Nationals would have the most exciting young outfield in recent memory for the next half-decade.
Assuming Harper signs at least a five-year deal -- and allotting for opt-outs, of course -- you would be looking at an outfield of Soto (who put up a .923 OPS at age 19), Victor Robles (the No. 4 overall prospect) and Harper (a superstar on a Hall of Fame track who is still only 26). An outfield like that buys you a lot of leeway with the rest of your roster. Put it this way: In October 2022, all three of those guys would still be in their 20s and under team control.
3. Boras would remain an honorary National.
Boras' ability to get his clients signed by the Nationals is already legendary, but getting his most prized client to stay in Washington would be the most impressive achievement of all.
4. Soto's next decade would get a lot easier.
Soto looks like the next generational superstar in baseball -- if he and Ronald Acuna Jr. aren't eclipsed by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., anyway -- but that designation comes with an extra spotlight when you have to replace another generational superstar. If Harper stayed, Soto would just get to be himself while everyone was distracted and awed by Harper. It's a lot easier to be Scottie Pippen than it is to be Michael Jordan. Soto would get to be Pippen.
5. The Dodgers would remain a team without a superstar, which might make owner Magic Johnson a tad antsy.
Ah, yes, the Dodgers -- the team that just traded Yasiel Puig, the thought went, in large part to clear a spot for Harper. Harper has felt like a perfect fit in Los Angeles for years, and Johnson obviously has a soft spot for transcendent, multi-platform superstars -- which, no offense to Justin Turner, he does not in fact have right now. If Los Angeles missed out on Harper, it would still be a great team. The club is probably still the favorite in the NL, all told. But there isn't another star out there, save for maybe Michael Trout in a couple of years, who fits what Magic wants for his team. Until the Dodgers finally win that World Series, this will remain a storyline.
6. The Phillies would try to figure out who, exactly, will take their 'stupid' money.
The Phillies have made it clear that they are prepared to spend this offseason. If Harper doesn't take the cash, and Manny Machado doesn't take the cash, who will? This is all the more pressing because, well, it's supposed to be the Phils' moment. If they can't sign either of the big dogs, they'll have fallen behind the Braves and Nationals (who just held onto their prime target) in their division. (And the Mets are still hanging around, too.) Philadelphia receded for a few years to build up to this particular moment of contention. But this is when we remind you that the Phillies, in fact, had a losing record last year. How much patience will fans have?
7. The Cubs would immediately start working even harder on a Kristopher Bryant extension.
The Cubs have long said they're out of the Harper sweepstakes, though no one entirely believes them. But if they are out, they best get back to the business of nailing down Bryant -- essentially their Harper, albeit one who made the play on the final out that gave Chicago its first World Series championship in more than a century -- post-haste. There were (denied) reports that the Cubs had offered Bryant a $200 million extension back in October, but either way, they have three years left before Bryant reaches free agency. (He's older than Harper; he'll be 30 when he hits the market.) If Chicago is holding back money that it could use for Harper, presumably much of it is earmarked for Bryant. With Harper out of the way, Bryant has to be its singular priority.
8. The Yankees would, briefly, become a bit less hateable.
Speaking of teams who say they're out of the Harper sweepstakes (and nobody believes them) … The window in which New York was the young, fun, exciting, even likable team of 2017 slammed shut with the trade for Giancarlo Stanton -- they're the blasted Yankees again. But adding Harper to a lineup with Stanton and Aaron Judge would be a bridge too far. It really would feel like the Yanks were just gobbling up all the sluggers. They will surely go sign someone to irritate the rest of baseball again -- Machado, probably -- but not having access to Harper would at least temporarily feel as if there is some justice in the universe.
9. The third-base market next offseason would become even more exciting.
If all the teams hoarding their free-agent cash -- or at least having access to it without being able to spend it -- don't have an opportunity to give it to Harper, who are they going to give it to? Nolan Arenado and Rendon, the top two hitting free agents on the market next year, will giddily line up to take it. If Arenado doesn't come to an agreement on an extension with the Rockies, his free agency becomes the biggest story next offseason (or maybe even at the Trade Deadline). You don't think the Phillies will be even more willing to give even stupider money to him if they miss out on Harper and Machado?
10. The Nationals would have their all-time superstar.
This should not be discounted. In an age of players constantly changing teams, the Nationals would keep one of their original superstars into the distant future. According to Baseball-Reference WAR, Harper is already the third-best Nat of all time (we are excluding the Expos from this analysis), and he's behind only teammates Zimmerman and Scherzer, both of whom he'd be sure to pass over the next decade. We've been waiting to see who will sign Harper for so long that we've never considered him a one-team superstar the way we've thought of, say, Bryant, Arenado, Clayton Kershaw or Mookie Betts. But if Harper stays in Washington, he would become as large an icon in that city as the Washington Monument, the symbol of the franchise's and the city's baseball resurgence. The question isn't why Harper would consider staying in Washington. The question is why we never considered it that strong a possibility in the first place.

How to Appeal a Court’s Decision in Colorado?
You have fifty-five days from the date of ruling on your case to file an appeal. You must first download a copy of the notice of appeal form and also the Transcript Request Information and Form and submit them together.
Contact information for each person involved.
Attorney information for both sides.
Sign in the appropriate place either appellant or appellee.
Mailing address where the court can send you documents related to the case.
Be sure to fill in the “Destination of Record” section regarding your original case. This tells the court all the supporting documents and any oral arguments that you will present in your appeal.
Make three copies and sign each. One goes to the district court, one to the county court and mail another to the District Attorney’s office.
You must also pay a fee when filing your notice of appeal.
After your notice of appeal has been accepted, you will have only twenty-one days to file your brief. The requirements for writing the brief are particular (even down to the font size used), and you must check with your court jurisdiction to find out complete details.
Some basic guidelines to keep in mind are; the brief must be no more than 9500 words long. Clearly state the facts of the original case, the ruling and why you believe it is incorrect. You must then present an argument with supporting documentation (precedent cases) and refer-ences to the original facts of the case. Finally, you need to ask the court what you want them to do. The appellee has the option to file a brief as well, and then you can respond with a reply brief, limited to 5700 words.
Roughly 3-4 months after all the paperwork is filed, the judges will decide whether or not to uphold the original decision or overturn it. If the appellate court has difficulty with the decision, they may pass it along to the Supreme Court.

Alex Neil believes Daniel Ayala's red card against Preston and Boro's subsequent successful appeal against the decision strayed into the game's "grey area", with the North End boss making a fresh call for rule clarity.
Ayala saw red in the second half of last week's game against Preston for a tackle on Brandon Barker, with opposition manager Neil later admitting he'd have been disappointed if one of his players had been sent off for making that challenge.
Tony Pulis was furious about the sending off - which led to Boro throwing away their lead and losing 2-1 - and the day after the game, Boro confirmed they were appealing the decision, an appeal which was successful.
While Neil felt the sending off was slightly harsh, he also said it begged the question: "What are the rules nowadays?"
And, a week on, he's reiterated that point, saying referees need more support.
He told the Lancashire Evening Post : "I think 90% of referees up and down the country would disagree with the red card being overturned.
"This is where the grey area comes in. Referees have a really tough job and need assistance on this.
"People you talk to over the red card in our game are split over it. There will be a group of people who say it is never a foul, that is the way the game was played in the good old days. The fact is, we are not in the good old days anymore.
"If rules are put in place, we need to clarify them and give the referees the best chance to officiate. These guys are getting crucified week in, week out for decisions."
Neil added: "If we had 10 people in the room talking about last week's red card, you would probably see five in favour of it being a sending off and five who are not. The best thing that can be done is to make the rules as clear as possible."
Ayala was facing a four game ban had his red card not been overturned.
While Pulis was obviously pleased with the outcome of the appeal, it didn't ease his disappointment about the sending off in the first place and the impact it had on the game against Preston.
After the 3-0 defeat at Aston Villa three days later, Pulis said: "It's the fourth time a player has been sent off since I've been at this club and three have been rescinded. That doesn't help."

We are not currently accepting new applications for the Fibromyalgia Floatation Project, and we will be winding down data collection of the project soon.
We plan on having the data analyzed by the end of this year, and we will be sending out updates as soon as we have information in to report on.
The Fibromyalgia Flotation Project (FFP) has been created to document the efficacy of flotation REST as a treatment for people suffering from fibromyalgia. The International Flotation Research Group, an informal group of scientists and entrepreneurs interested in Flotation REST, organized this research endeavor. FFP is a voluntary, international effort. No remuneration or profit is received by any of the organizers.
Flotation REST is a form of Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy (REST) that uses a shallow pool of heavy water about the size of a large bed. The water is made heavy by super- saturating it with Epsom Salt (MgSO4) to the point that a person floats on his or her back effortlessly on the surface of the water like a cork.
The water is heated to skin temperature and the pool is enclosed in a lightproof, soundproof environment. This device, invented by Dr. John C Lilly, effectively removes external stimulation and creates a neutral environment that gives the feeling that one is floating comfortably in space.
In using this type of therapy one is given a private room with a shower where one can disrobe, shower, and step into the pool enclosure. After sitting in the water and lying back to float on the surface, one can then turn out the lights. The reduced stimulation encountered in the flotation pool refocuses the individual’s attention to internal stimuli.

Abstract polygons will be flying over your head as you shoot your way through psychedelic tunnels this fall. Rez Infinite, the remastered version of the cult rail-shooter Rez, which originally debuted back in 2001 for Dreamcast and PlayStation 2, will be released this year on October 13, the same date as PlayStation VR.
Rez Infinite was first introduced at PlayStation Experience in December 2015, together with a slew of other games coming to the headset. Development is in progress at Q Entertainment, the studio behind titles like puzzle games Lumines and Every Extend Extra. Under the supervision of director Tetsuya Mizuguchi, the studio has become well-known for games that combine gameplay with music to create a sense of synesthesia.
In Lumines you combined squares of two different colors to form one-colored squares. Every action taken by the player produced a sound of some kind, and events like disappearing squares and special effects also synchronized with the music in the game. Features like these were first introduced with Rez — nothing like it had been seen before its release, and it’s often referred to as the first time people thought of a game as a piece of art. Discussions on gaming and art still use it as an example today.
Upgraded graphics and support for PlayStation VR are two of the major features with this remaster (an earlier remaster was released to the Xbox 360 in 2008, which also featured improved visuals). This latest version is being called “the ultimate version of Sega’s classic psychedelic rail-shooter adventure Rez, fully remastered and evolved, including VR support and additional new content, all by members of the original development team.” Further details regarding added features haven’t been announced, but fans around the world are looking forward to the release. Two decades worth of generations have passed, so the fact that the game is still being remastered speaks for its value as a historical landmark in the industry.
Rez Infinite will launch on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR on October 13, 2016.

Cambridge, MA—On Tuesday, Romanian authorities detained Dragoș Lipan Secu, the managing director of the Harvard-owned forestry company Scolopax SRL, along with his wife Mariana, for illegal business practices.
Romanian news sources reported that between 2007 and 2008, Mariana and Dragoș Lipan Secu accepted bribes totaling to 4.450.000 leu, or more than $1.3 million USD, in addition to a vacation to Gran Canaria and a Chrysler Sebring car. In exchange, they purchased land on behalf of Scolopax at prices and under conditions favorable to the sellers.
Scolopax SRL is fully owned by Harvard University and directly controlled by Harvard-owned holding company Phemus Corporation. According to Romanian news sources, Scolopax is the largest private owner of forests in Romania, with over 35,000 hectares of land.
Scolopax is the fourth Harvard-owned company to recently come under scrutiny for corporate misconduct. Last summer, Harvard-owned Agricola Brinzal was found guilty of illegal destruction of native forests in Chiloe, Chile. In October 2013, the Responsible Investment at Harvard Coalition and the Oakland Institute exposed irresponsible labor and environmental standards at two of Harvard’s timber plantations in the Argentinian wetlands, EVASA and Las Misiones.
Agricola Brinzal, EVASA, Las Misiones, and Scolopax are all 99.9 or 100% owned by Harvard, according to the university’s tax filings.
Thus far, Harvard President Drew Faust has failed to respond to RI@Harvard’s request.

HOTCHKISS, Colo. — This mountain town of coal miners and organic farmers wasted no time in saying no to marijuana. After Colorado’s 2012 vote legalizing marijuana, local leaders concerned about crime and the character of their tranquil downtown twice voted to ban the recreational and medical pot shops springing up in other towns.
But then coal crumbled. One mine here in the North Fork Valley has shut down amid a wave of coal bankruptcies and slowdowns, and another has announced that it will go dark. The closings added to a landscape of layoffs and economic woes concussing mining-dependent towns from West Virginia to Wyoming. And as Hotchkiss searches for a new economic lifeline, some people are asking: What about marijuana?
Next month, Hotchkiss will vote on whether to undo its ban and welcome marijuana shops and the traffic and taxes that could come with them. With cannabis sales soaring to nearly $1 billion across Colorado, and big states such as California poised to embrace legalization, wary towns like Hotchkiss are looking at the economics of marijuana and starting to reconsider.
“It’s an evolving discussion in a lot of communities,” said Kevin Bommer, deputy director of the Colorado Municipal League, which tracks local debates on the issue. Six Colorado towns are voting in April on whether to scrap their prohibitions on marijuana stores, and in January, another narrowly voted to lift a moratorium and approve wholesale marijuana growers.
Though 23 states and the District of Columbia now allow some forms of recreational or medical marijuana, legalization is still a checkerboard, with marijuana retailers and cultivations clustered in big cities such as Seattle or Washington and scattered randomly through rural areas.
As scores of cities and counties banned marijuana sales, they cited worries about public safety, property values, youth use and the image problems that might come with becoming their county’s go-to source for legal marijuana. Others passed moratoriums to wait and see how legalization unfolded in neighboring towns that plunged in.
Places like Pierce County, south of Seattle, discovered that simply banning dispensaries did not keep out marijuana. In February 2015, the police shut down an illegal grow house next to a day care center in Gig Harbor. The County Council passed a series of what it called tight regulations, and in December repealed its ban on marijuana sales and production in unincorporated corners of the county.
Here in Hotchkiss, the push to allow marijuana has touched off conversations about the soul of the town. It is tucked into a sunny mountain valley draped with peach orchards and vineyards. But the coal mines up the valley were an economic mainstay for generations, and people say that tourism and boutique agriculture cannot replace good-paying mining jobs. Unemployment here in Delta County is 5.3 percent, higher than the statewide average of 3.2 percent.
“People have been tightening the belt or just plain moving away,” said Robbie Winne, who runs the Rose, a secondhand clothing shop along Hotchkiss’ main street. She said she supported the marijuana plan as a way to entice more visitors, or at least capture some traffic as people passed through on their way to ski towns.
Winne said that although pot was no panacea, at least it could perk up business and tax revenue. Colorado collected about $135 million in taxes and fees from marijuana sales last year, and small governments have taken in millions from local sales taxes. In the tiny town of DeBeque, near the Utah border, officials told Colorado Public Radio that they were considering using the tax money from marijuana to start a scholarship fund or repair streets, curbs and gutters.
Others say it is time for a bold move. Mary Hockenbery, a New Mexico transplant who runs an eclectic art gallery in an old church, has been a leading voice behind the initiative. Coal is not coming back, she said, and though she and others have tried to spruce up the main street with cosmetic measures like new flower boxes, the town needs more.

I accept that my life is directed by Divine Providence, and when I sway off course, I get another chance. Lucky for me that God is so understanding. Many times when I try to control my own destiny, I fail miserably.
I’ve been given free will to make my own choices and when I lose track and don’t follow my instincts, which I believe are God’s clues, He grants me another crack at it until I get it right. It’s a learning process and each time I make a mistake, I hopefully gain insight. I must accept my faults on the way to perfection.
When I accept His way, there is less friction and chaos in my life. How God must enjoy my little escapades; my rebellious nature. Luckily for me, He constantly reaches out to me when I step too far out of sync. God is generous and forgiving.
If I tune into nature, appreciating how much effort God put into creating such beauty, how can I not believe and accept that He created me with so much more in mind. Once I accept this as Truth, I am on my way to fulfilling my life’s intention. Once I accept that He gives me all the tools and puts all the necessary people and ideas before me to use, I can complete the picture.
I am one but I am never alone. I was born to a King and have royal blood in my veins. I await my inheritance of His Kingdom and readily accept all the good things that lie in my path. Praise to my Father in heaven. I bow down before him as a humble child and accept His blessings in hopes that I become all I am meant to be.

As the holiday season approaches, your retail clients who offer a layaway option must know to accurately apply sales tax rules of their state to layaway purchases.
While these types of sales may be small, they are an important area of compliance. More importantly, layaways are likely ripe for improved process documentation, employee training and accounting system upgrades to promote consistent and accurate treatment of similar transactions.
When a business invests time and energy in making meaningful improvements in tax compliance processes, people and technology, the result is usually more uniform customer service and less confusion for employees, as well as protection from exposure in an audit.
What’s a Layaway, You Say?
A layaway sale is a transaction in which merchandise is set aside for future delivery to a customer who makes a deposit, agrees to pay the balance of the purchase price over a period of time and at the end of the payment period, receives the merchandise. Layaway arrangements are a simple way for consumers to finance purchases of items they don’t need to possess immediately, like holiday gifts.
While these arrangements may have lost some luster over the years as store credit cards have grown in popularity, the Great Recession triggered a renewed interest in layaway purchases. Credit-conscious consumers gain the advantages of short-term, usually interest free financing, while retailers appreciate the opportunity to lock-in consumers on purchases they otherwise couldn’t afford with the cash in their pocket.
Many states have specific sales tax rules regarding layaway purchases. When a layaway includes taxable items, the extended nature of the transaction presents a question of when to collect and report sales taxes due.
As with many state tax issues, the states are not uniform in their approach. In our nation’s capital, for example, a seller should report and remit sales taxes due on the entire sales amount at the beginning of the layaway. D.C. retailers collect reimbursement for sales taxes on the total sales price at the time the first payment is made by the purchaser (D.C. Mun. Regs. 409).
Pennsylvania rules are similar; in the Keystone State, a seller must collect the full amount of tax, as measured by the full purchase price, at the time the first payment is made or within 30 days after the layaway is arranged, if earlier (Pa. Code 33.4).
On the other hand, Arizona requires retailers to collect tax only when possession transfers to the purchaser or when receipts from the transaction become non-refundable, whichever occurs first (Ariz. Admin. Code R15-5-131). In California, retailers are required to report and remit sales taxes on layaway purchases only after items have been delivered to the purchaser (Cal. Rev. & Tax. Cd. § 6006). South Carolina regulations direct a retailer to collect sales tax incrementally, as payments are made (S.C. Code Regs. 117-318.3).
Several states have enacted “sales tax holidays” where certain types of goods are deemed sales tax exempt for a limited period of time. One common variant is a back-to-school sales tax holiday where school supplies or children’s clothes are exempted for a weekend, usually in late summer or early autumn.
Since a sales tax holiday is marked by a beginning and ending point in time, a layaway arrangement where possession of the sold items does not occur until after the final payment is made presents an interesting question: does the sales tax holiday exemption apply to items placed on layaway during the sales tax holiday, but the purchaser takes possession of the items only after the sales tax holiday period has ended?
When it comes to sales taxes, the states are not always uniform in their approach, and this issue is another example of that premise. In Georgia, for example, a layaway sale made during a sales tax holiday but not paid in full until the after the sales tax holiday has ended, is not eligible for the sales tax holiday exemption [Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. §560-12-2-.110(9)(b)].
Moving further south, the Sunshine State takes a different approach. In Florida, items eligible for the sales tax holiday exemption sold as layaway sales qualify for the exemption when a customer puts an eligible item on layaway during the sales tax holiday exemption period, even if final payment is made after the sales tax holiday period (Florida Tax Information Publication, No. 18A01-07, 06/27/2018).
However, when a customer places an item on layaway on a date prior to a sales tax holiday, but makes the final payment and takes possession of the items during the sales tax holiday period, some states include qualifying items in the sales tax holiday exemption.
In Texas, a sale of an eligible item for the sales tax holiday under a layaway plan qualifies for the sales tax holiday exemption if the customer places the item on layaway or makes the final payment during the holiday [Tex. Admin. Code 3.365(i)].
It’s not a surprise to most state and local tax professionals that states vary in their approach to taxing even the simplest of transactions. Being the expert on multistate sales tax rules on layaways is probably not a career goal of most advisors, (and rightly so!), but gaining awareness of the potential hazards of layaway sales can equip an advisor to help retail businesses improve their sales tax compliance.
Encourage retailing clients to develop documented processes to manage layaway sales, and provide information and training to employees and managers who handle the sales transaction, as well as perform tax compliance. Layaway sales present an opportunity for advisors to provide useful guidance resulting in accurate compliance and a consistent, seamless retail experience for customers.

During the festive season people tend to focus their energy on presents, cards, and parties. When merrymaking is in order, work can sometimes be put on the back burner.
At the start of the new year, it’s important for employers to reboot productivity levels. Lilli Hender from OfficeGenie.co.uk has five top tips to help business owners get the best out of their employees in 2016.
You’ll need more than food to motivate your staff, but it’s a good place to start. Hunger can be a big distraction in the workplace and when someone is peckish, they’re not on top form. Providing healthy snacks, such as fruit and cereal bars, could help to produce better work before, and after, lunch.
Communal eating is a good way to encourage staff to view themselves as part of a team, this can help to promote positive feelings about work and co-workers. It also means chatter is more likely to take place at the lunch table instead of the desk.
When you’re reviewing last year’s business achievements, keep in mind the achievements of individual staff members too, and inform them of their positive impact. Employees are your most valuable resource and reminding them of that is never a bad thing.
Praise will not only motivate your staff in the short term but ensure they remain dedicated in the years to come. Encourage staff members to praise each other too; it can be nice to offer the opportunity for shout-outs of thanks and appreciation at staff meetings.
While praise is free, other signs of appreciation can be a little costlier. Employees like to be rewarded for hard work and this can mean forking out cash for gifts, vouchers, and bonuses.
Training opportunities are a more wallet friendly incentive and directly benefit both the company and employee. Informing staff of the rewards you have planned for the year will help them feel like they’re working towards something, which picks up moral and boosts productivity.
Rigid working hours don’t help to alleviate the stresses life can throw at you. The option to work from home, come in late, or have an extended lunch will prevent your staff feeling that work dictates their lives.
It empowers employees through trust and, by offering an optimum working schedule, should increase and improve output. Flexible working is designed to help, not hinder, businesses and employees so making sure it runs smoothly is important.
The happier and healthier people are, the better they perform. This isn’t rocket science and consequently, companies are taking a more active role in employees’ wellbeing. Hosting ‘wellness workshops’ (getting an expert into the office to talk about an aspect of health, such as nutrition) is a great way to prompt staff to consider the importance of their mental and physical wellbeing.
In terms of physical health, investing in ergonomic office equipment is a must. Sitting at a computer for nine hours a day five days a week takes its toll on the body, and it’s the duty of the business owner to minimise any negative effects. Your employees will thank you for it and the reward will be in the work they produce.
The start of a new year is a great time to embrace fresh business approaches – such as flexible hours and wellness workshops – and upgrade the incentives and praise you already offer. High levels of productivity are necessary all year round and these tips should help you start 2016 on the right foot.

A veterinary nurse, also known as a veterinary technician, is responsible for creating and maintaining the animal patient's history and assisting the veterinarian during the exam. They also perform both non-invasive and invasive procedures.
According to College Navigator, there are over two hundred veterinary nurse training programs in the United States. Out of those two hundred programs, one hundred and eighty of the programs take less than two years or less to complete.
A veterinary technician training program will include courses in dentistry, anatomy, animal diseases, anesthesiology and pharmacology, so it is a good idea to have a solid background in mathematics and biology before applying to a veterinary nursing program.
The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has accredited one hundred and sixty veterinary technician programs, and these programs will be known to veterinarians and clinics that hire veterinary technicians. A list of these programs is available on the AVMA websites and it is organized by state. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, certification for veterinary technicians varies from state to state, but all states require a veterinary technician to complete an examination to verify their knowledge and credentials.
A veterinary technician will assist in the preliminary examination of the animal and document the appearance and symptoms that the animal presents. The technician will take the animal's temperature and blood pressure, and collect samples, such as blood, for analysis. Under the supervision of a veterinary surgeon, a veterinary technician will also administer anesthesia and assist in surgical procedures, just as a trained nurse would perform for a surgeon that is operating on a human patient. The veterinary technician also monitors the patient after surgery. Veterinary technicians also perform dental care procedures on animal patients.
Veterinary technicians will also give instructions about animal care to the animal's owner after a procedure or when medications are prescribed. They can also engage in public education, such as encouraging spaying and neutering, showing owners how to take care of their animal's dental needs or by informing owners or animal caretakers about proper nutrition and diet for the animals in their care.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual salary of veterinary nurses is $28,900 per year. Veterinary technicians who work for the federal government receive the highest wages at approximately twenty-one dollars an hour. The highest paying states in this field are New York, Illinois and California. The highest paying cities are Fresno, Oakland and San Diego, California.
There are employment opportunities for veterinary nurses in animal clinics, animal hospitals and animal shelters. There are also opportunities in research facilities that house laboratory animals and in food processing facilities. Zoos, aquariums and wildlife clinics also employ veterinary nurses. If you are interested in working with wild animals, you should explore volunteer and paid opportunities in these facilities while you are completing your education to become a veterinary technician, or while in high school. Depending on the veterinary technicians experience, such as experience working with small or large domestic animals or with wild animals, there are opportunities in both rural and urban communities.

On June 5 at East Beach will be the annual sand castle contest. I want to post pictures that you take at the contest. If I use your picture, I’ll pay you $10. Simply go out to East Beach on June 5, take some pictures of the coolest sand castles, and for every pic of yours that I use in the upcoming blog about the sand castle contest, I’ll send you a check for $10.
Email your pictures to micah[@]texassurfers.com. If I use your picture(s), I’ll use the Texas Surfers watermark on it, and I’ll email you back to get your address so I can send your check. If you have a business, I’ll also promote your business with a mention alongside your picture.
JUNE 5TH IS THIS COMING SATURDAY, so mark your calendar. The more photos you send and the cooler your sandcastles are, the more likely I am to use your picture.
If you’re IN the picture, I’ll mention this in the blog so people know who you are.
The deadline for sending in your photos is midnight, CST, of June 7th.
Everyone likes to see sandcastles and everyone likes making them. And to be honest it’s been a little non-eventful in the water and we all need something to do at the beach.
If you send in a cool picture of a sandcastle that you made, I’ll put it on this website for people to see.
…Maybe it should be called a sand sculpture? It doesn’t have to be a castle. Just make something.

Malacañang vows to speed up its efforts.
Tetch Torres-Tupas of Inquirer.net reports that international media organizations have criticized the Aquino administration's "disorganized" aid operation in areas devastated by Typhoon Yolanda (international name Haiyan), with CNN journalist Anderson Cooper describing the relief efforts in Tacloban City as a "demolition, not a construction job."
The report noted Cooper's observation in his live broadcast on CNN Wednesday (November 13) that it is still remains unclear to reporters, aid workers and survivors who is in charge of providing assistance in the city although five days have already passed since the typhoon hit Leyte's capital. "There is no real evidence of organized recovery or relief," he said.
His observation was echoed by BBC journalist Jon Donnison, who reported that "there does not seem to be an effective operation to get help to those in need." In response, Malacañang admitted responding to the disaster was a "logistics nightmare" it was poorly prepared for. But it vowed that in the coming days, the national government will speed up relief and disaster efforts in Tacloban City and in other areas severely affected by the typhoon.
