Impact Partners BrandVoice: Measuring Disaster Before It Strikes: 3 Risk Factors To Help Avoid Portfolio Meltdowns | Stone Column

The last day of the count was crazy. Early in the morning Blue jays landed in the tree tops screaming insults. The birds became a bit disconcerted. When the raucous crows arrived, the birds disappeared into the brush and branches. Talking loudly, the crows pranced underneath the feeders before deciding it was not worth the effort and left. The other birds relaxed and resumed eating. An hour later in strolled the ginger tabby. The feline had either been dropped off by an uncaring person weeks before or belongs to one of my negligent neighbors. Cats should be kept indoors. Cats decimate bird populations. We have had cats for years. One stray became an indoor cat sooner than he preferred after eating a Ruby-crowned Kinglet on the front porch. I have dragged so many beautiful dead cats off of roads over the years and wondered “what were their owners thinking?” Did they actually believe their cat had 9 lives and could survive poisons, wild animals, trucks, dogs, coyotes, hawks, cars, bobcats and bullets?

Murnane says he doesn’t envy writers of ‘imaginative’ fiction because it doesn’t seem a prophylactic against ‘faulty writing’, and alludes dismissively to the elaborately imagined pharaonic Egypt in Mailer’s Ancient Evenings. He thinks of the imagination as a remnant of crude psychology, a faculty that might be located in one or another ‘swellings’ located on a schoolboy’s anatomical map of the brain, one he happens to lack.

In other words, the fix was in. Clearly, somebody was behind the rise of Ocasio-Cortez and that somebody didn’t care much about the niceties of getting her elected—including elements of her “girl-from-the-Bronx” biography, her actual residence, and her campaign finances. Tant pis!

But he pointed to a Baker quote: “It will be a reckoning for President Trump, to be sure, but also for Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, for Congress, for Democrats, for Republicans, for the news media and yes, for the system as a whole.”

“The reports surrounding Steele technically weren’t about the allegations themselves, but rather the journey of those allegations, from one set of official hands to another. Handing the report to Trump created a perfect pretext,” Taibbi wrote.

The dry ingredients are portland cement, peat moss, and vermiculite or perlite. Portland cement typically sells in 94-pound bags. Don’t use concrete or quick-setting mixes. Peat moss can contain twig pieces, and Chips prefers to screen it first to produce a uniform loose powder. You will need to break up any clumps before setting the mix.

Hopefully, it, and possibly a smaller one, has now moved on since there’s no suet out there for it to detect with its keen sense of smell. But, of course, only time will tell.
