That power game reached its absurd culmination in 2018 in Helsinki, when Trump and Putin waited each other out for 50 minutes, neither being willing to mount his motorcade before the other was en route. He loves to keep other leaders waiting (Merkel holds the record with four and a half hours Queen Elizabeth II got off lightly with just 14 minutes). Above all, Putin wishes to be seen as a peer of Biden, Xi Jinping and Angela Merkel. Putin is famously touchy not only about his own personal stature but about Russia’s. So when Putin’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, insisted on 30 March that ‘neither Putin, nor anyone else from the Russian administration, will allow the US or other nations to talk to us from a position of power’, his words must have rung a little hollow in the White House. The only ways the Kremlin has managed to throw its weight around since the collapse of the Soviet Union have been by invading much weaker neighbors like Georgia and Ukraine deploying its military in places the West has declined to get involved in, like Syria and the Central African Republic and engaging in illegal (the diplomatic term is ‘asymmetric’) warfare fought by hackers, trolls and poisoners. Unlike the USSR, Putin’s Russia has no regional or international allies to speak of, and wields little ideological soft power. The US’s $700 billion defense budget alone would account for half of Russia’s GDP.īiden’s dislike of Putin is as much personal as ideological Per capita, it’s 61st, in the neighborhood of Bulgaria and Grenada. Russia’s economy is nominally the 11th largest in the world, between South Korea’s and Brazil’s. But in every other sense Russia remains, as Henry Kissinger put it, ‘Upper Volta with nuclear missiles’. Yes, Putin commands the only nuclear arsenal in the world that can match America’s. There must have been laughter in the Kremlin the next day when Biden slipped not once but thrice clambering up the stairs to Air Force One. Given that Biden had just publicly accused Putin of being a poisoner, this came across as the slightly sinister ‘mind your step’ valediction of a mafia boss. He also wished Biden ‘the best of health’. ‘When I was a kid, when we were arguing with each other in the playground, we used to say, “What you say is what you are,”’ said Putin. Putin’s response to the ‘killer’ charge was effectively to call Biden a killer himself. Whether Putin understands Biden is less clear. Donald Trump called him ‘extremely strong and powerful’. Bush found Putin ‘very straightforward and trustworthy’ after looking into his eyes and getting ‘a sense of his soul’. Maybe Biden does understand Putin, though. Putin smiled and replied, ‘We understand one another.’ At least that’s what happened if you believe Joe Biden. ‘I’m looking into your eyes, and I don’t think you have a soul,’ the vice president said. The last time Joe visited Vladimir in the Kremlin was back in 2011, when Biden was VP and Prime Minister Putin his counterpart, having temporarily swapped positions with Dmitry Medvedev. Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin have been taking potshots at each other for at least a decade. Arch-Russiagaters in the US get to write off Donald Trump’s election as a Kremlin plot rather than try to understand it as a popular revolt against the Washington establishment. America’s insistence that Russia is interfering with her democracy and that her spies are everywhere gives Putin a wonderful domestic boost to his status as international evil genius and all-powerful spymaster. The old thrill may be long gone, but both former partners still manage to kick up a few sparks from the old Cold War ashes. And many Americans still secretly love to have a reliable foreign baddie to blame when their democracy wobbles. Russia is still dependent on her ex’s power and glamour to prove her continued status in the world. Russia and the United States are like an old divorced couple, still bickering 40 years after their stormy superpower marriage broke up. ‘Other than being crazy enough to press a button, there is nothing that Putin can do militarily to fundamentally alter American interests.’ No one is close,’ Biden told Ukrainian lawmakers in Kiev in 2014. ‘We no longer think in Cold War terms, for several reasons. Once a deadly serious enemy whose rivalry threatened to destroy life on the planet, Russia’s diminished status means that, these days, there’s little left to the grand old conflict except mere mudslinging. Today? Biden can insult Putin with impunity because he believes that Russia is, quite simply, no longer important or dangerous. Once, that would have been fighting talk. Does Joe Biden think that Putin is a killer? asked ABC host George Stephanopoulos.

"These numbers change every day, but the increase would seem to indicate that we will be seeing an increased impact in the coming weeks," Sherbert said. On March 31, 2019, Scottsdale had 4,802 accounts that were 1-30 days past due. She said the city is also encouraging customers to pay as much as possible now, "to decrease the total amount due when we come out of this crisis."Ĭustomers should contact the city at 48 to discuss their options. Scottsdale spokeswoman Nicole Sherbert said the city is offering customers one-time deferments and payment plans to help pay their bills. Scottsdale halted disconnects and will waive late fees as long as the public health crisis continues. Sorensen said customers who have the means can donate to the city's Project Assist, which will be used to help disadvantaged customers. "We expect that we will recoup that money, but even under normal circumstances we don't recoup all the money we're owed," Sorensen said. But the city estimates the impact will be somewhere between $2 million and $15 million. She said the impact on Phoenix's water system will depend on a variety of factors, including how long the pandemic lasts. She said that while the city will make every effort to help customers, it's essential to the health of the entire water system to collect revenue. "You are going to be responsible for that bill, so the extent you can pay something now, think that through carefully to avoid a worse situation later," she said. Sorensen said that although customers can defer all payments until September, she encourages them to think about the long-term impacts. Some of them have already been deployed to delinquent households, but the city will remove the devices if the customer agrees to a payment plan. Sorensen said the city began developing the low-flow devices to use during the summer months when shutting off water could be dangerous. Water Services Director Kathryn Sorensen told the Phoenix City Council that her department would begin arranging payment plans with delinquent customers now, and allow them to defer the start of their payment plan until September, when the brunt of the summer heat subsides.Ĭustomers who agree to a payment plan will receive full water service until September, and will continue to receive full service at that point so long as they adhere to their payment plan.Ĭustomers who can't be reached or don't agree to a payment plan will be put on a low-flow plan that will allow them enough water for basic sanitation and cooking. Phoenix reconnected all disconnected water lines and suspended future shut-offs on March 12. He said the city will offer customers who are unable to pay their bills in full "flexible solutions," including extended payment plans and waived late fees.Ĭustomers experiencing difficulties in paying can contact the city at 48. That's about 100 more delinquent accounts than the same time last year, Hafen said. On March 15, when the city announced it would halt shut-offs, there were 5,005 delinquent accounts, 180 of which received disconnect notices.Īs of March 31, there were 5,304 delinquent accounts and 424 accounts that would have been subject to disconnection of water service. AvondaleĬhandler has suspended water disconnects because of COVID-19, but the city is still encouraging customers to continue making full or partial payments to prevent massive bills later on.Ĭhandler considers a customer delinquent after nonpayment of two bills, but does not send a disconnect notice until the outstanding balance totals $400 or more, Chandler Utility Services Manager Jason Hafen said. Here's how each city is preparing to recoup funds, while still trying to lessen the burden on customers who are facing job losses and other harsh economic realities brought on by COVID-19. The cities stand to lose tens of millions of dollars in revenue needed to assure Phoenix-area residents continue to have clean drinking water. Many cities are trying to level with customers by working out payment plans now so they don't get sticker shock later, while at the same time trying to assure they do eventually get paid. That could mean struggling residents would have to come up with $500 or more in back payments on water later this year. And someday, the city will ask them to pay up. The top recommendation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to slow the spread of the coronavirus is hand washing, which can't be done if water stops flowing to households.īut cities aren't providing water to delinquent customers for free - their bills are still accumulating. It's a public health necessity, city leader say. Almost all Phoenix-area cities have decided not to shut off water service during the COVID-19 pandemic, even if customers aren't paying their bills. The downsides to the pump? The flanges are wide mouth, so you’ll need to pick up adapters if you use narrow neck bottles. The pump remembers your settings for next time, or you can change settings while pumping. It also took a few sessions of changing the cycle and suction strength to find what worked best for me. There was a learning curve with the pump I had to read the backflow assembly instructions a few times. (No more battery pack that dies after you use it once! No more car adapter!) The S1 has a rechargeable battery, so it’s portable the battery on its initial charge lasted 24 pumping sessions of 20–25 minutes each. If I have to complain about the pump, it’s the lack of instructions on what “cycle” means and how changing the cycle will affect your expression.) (Cycle seems to be the number of times it suckles per minute, versus suction strength. My favorite part is the ability to choose both the cycle and suction. It’s comfortable, quiet, weirdly aesthetically pleasing, and best of all, I’m pumping enough milk to meet demand. I really hung my hopes on this pump otherwise, I was going to decimate my frozen milk supply and probably supplement with formula soon.Īs of today, I’ve been using the S1 for a week and a half and I LOVE IT. It has 882 reviews, 75% of which are 5-star - they had me at “I pumped 8 ounces today!” I obsessively checked the shipping status. With a little prayer, I paid $164.99 with Prime 2-day shipping. (I also submitted a question through the Medela website, and got a quick but generic response from a nurse/lactation consultant.) None of these suggestions helped.ĭesperate, I searched Amazon and found the Spectra S1 pump. I spoke with a lactation consultant, who advised trying bigger flanges and continued massaging and expression. What else could I do?!īy day 4, I added “use a hand pump” at the end of feeding, because I was getting more from the hand pump than the PISA. And this was my pumping routine: Drink a cup of Mothers’ Milk tea, apply warm TheraPearls to encourage letdown, look at pictures of my daughter, listen to the playlist I played in the hospital with her, massage while pumping, hand-express after pumping. By the end of the day, I had pumped enough for 1.5 bottles. Then the first full week of work - uh-oh. Didn’t pump enough to meet her needs, but figured it was early days. I returned to work on the Monday before Thanksgiving, and worked Monday, Tuesday, and a half day Wednesday. I chose the trusty Medela Pump In Style Advanced (PISA) through my insurance plan, because it was what I used with daughter #1 - I already had all the spare parts and accessories, and it worked marginally well enough. I planned to pump 4 times a day to replace the 4 feedings I would miss. (She’s now 15 weeks.) She needs 16 ounces a day, plus a little extra to send to daycare. I returned to work when my daughter was 12 weeks old. If you want to know more, here’s the full story: I doubled the amount of milk I pumped in one week of use. Portable, very quiet, comfortable, and reasonably priced. Short and sweet: This pump promises a Hilton on the moon and delivers. Thank you so much, Emily, for sharing your Spectra S1 breast pump review! Emily’s Spectra Review … I turn to crowd sourcing (including CorporetteMoms) when I need a new product, and wanted to pay it back. (I know I did.) I just ordered the pump, paid out of my own pocket, because I wasn’t happy with my current pump.

Art covers the walls and statues line the shelves. Giuliano lives in a brown house north of Barre. And Giuliano is the only one left.ĭescended from 20 generations of stone carvers The Italian sculptors have died, or retired, or moved away. The flood of immigrants turned into a trickle, and eventually stopped. The granite industry has modernized and consolidated. Barre is no longer the bustling industry town it once was. “The guy is dying of silica.”īut all this happened a long time ago. A woman stands next to him, her hand on his chest. Giuliano points to another sculpture - it shows a man slumped back, with his eyes closed. He's surrounded by the tools of his trade, and the broken column under his elbow represents a life cut short. Vermont Public Elia Corti was a stone carver who died in a dispute between anarchists and socialists at the Barre Labor Hall in 1903. And stone dust filled the air: Back then, many of the sculptors developed silicosis, a disease caused by the particles that gathered in their lungs. The railroad chugged into town to take them around the country. Thousands of workers spent their days making monuments. In the early 20th century, Barre was a booming industry town. Now he sits in Hope Cemetery on a block of granite, chin in his hand, with the tools of his trade nearby. In 1903, a man named Elia Corti was shot there. They built a neighborhood in the north end of town, made wine during Prohibition, established a mutual aid society and built the Socialist Labor Party Hall. The Italian stone workers who came to Barre more than a century ago brought their families, their values, and their way of life. Listen to oral histories of Barre from the Aldrich Public Library. Matter of fact we walk there, we’ll see one of the most famous ones, you know, Elia Corti, the guy who got shot at the Labor Hall.” In Hope Cemetery, I ask Giuliano if there are any old tombstones he’s partial to. This monument marks the grave of Louis Brusa, a master stone carver. Before workplaces were properly ventilated, silicosis plagued Barre's stone carvers. Vermont Public Silicosis is caused by particles of stone dust that become lodged in the lungs. The industry took off, and stonecutters, sculptors, and quarrymen flocked to Barre from all over Europe.Ī hundred years ago, immigrants made up almost half of Barre’s population, and the majority of them were from Italy. Then granite began to be quarried in Barre, and some of those sculptors moved again. These craftsmen were the best in the world.Īnd in the late 1800s, some of them moved to southern Vermont, to work in the burgeoning marble industry in Proctor. The stone carvers came from northern Italy, where there have been marble quarries for thousands of years. Look at the ripples, they look much more realistic than the real thing!” “They knew what the hell they were doing. “Those carvers way back then, they really had it,” Giuliano says while pointing at a tombstone. Many of them are buried here, under monuments they created. Hope Cemetery was established here at the turn of the 20th century, when the first Italian stone carvers moved to town. He’s part of a long legacy of Italian stone carvers in Barre, craftsmen whose skill transformed an industry and made the small central Vermont town the “Granite Capital of the World.” He says that long ago, carvers were so skilled that they specialized one man did the flowers, another the lettering. Vermont Public Giuliano points out a detailed carving on a tombstone.

Part of the 7 Moncler Frgmt Hiroshi Fujiwara line, collection n 7 of the Moncler Genius project, these pants are crafted in organic cotton gabardine. By developing an acronym, “WOM” reads the same way no matter how you view it, which is said to reflect Fujiwara’s work with Moncler as it’s all about combining the finest level of design with heritage and a sense of immediately understanding what this is: a stellar collaboration yet again.Ĭomplementing this array of garments are pieces such as the workwear jacket, jersey tops, jumpers, Bermuda shorts, and trousers, while womenswear is comprised of a quilted skirt, a dress with a quilted top, and outwear inspired by the men’s range, which is all brought together through new branding inspired by security patches and vintage Moncler labels. Standouts include the “WORLD OF MONCLER” puffer, which is abbreviated to “WOM” with the “O” being a depiction of Earth. With this in mind, we find a sustainable puffed-out anorak made from organic cotton and sustainable fabrics, while recycled nylon and recycled brass snap buttons have been used to help construct the range of quilted jackets, which are, of course, finished in black like the rest of the collection. This season captures everything Fujiwara stands for as the undisputed godfather of streetwear, merging together his personal likes with Moncler’s aesthetic for a collection that’s technical, full of hidden surprises, layered (both literally and metaphorically), and also spans into womenswear for the first time.

So, what can we expect will happen when a narcissist loses control of a person or situation? You can guarantee that they will up their anti when it comes to gaslighting, rage, coercion and many other manipulation tactics. They can manipulate and play their games for a while, but when their controlled victim finally gets to the point where they cannot take any more, things begin to unravel in a big way. Unfortunately for the narcissist, many people don’t like to be controlled. Being in control of everyone and everything inflates their ego, secures their supply and further validates their belief that they are superior. Narcissists impulsively feel that they must control not only the world around them, but also the characters who are in it. You’ll see that if you keep walking, you can finally discover a new world.One of the heaviest marks of narcissism is control. There will also be times when you will have the doubt to step back, those suffering from narcissistic personality disorder know how to move the wires of guilt, do not let yourself be subjugated and continue on your way. But it won’t be impossible either, there are people who are ready to fall in love and build beautiful relationships that aren’t as complex as a chess game. In short, the chains have broken, and you can finally see the light at the bottom of the tunnel.Īdvertisements It will not be easy to regain complete trust in the outside world. In essence, when you discover a narcissist and notice that he no longer has any effect on you, it means that you have used the tactics of no contact in the optimal way. When the Narcissist Loses Power: Don’t Give Up! In fact, many times a victim has decided to change course and has realized that with him he can never build a healthy relationship. We can therefore deduce that the narcissist suffers when he is left, but that in some ways he expects it. To the point of not knowing anything about him. The returns may still be there, but if the no contact strategy is applied properly, then they will be less and less frequent. But it will not be forever, in narcissism everything is always very relative, in fact it will immediately look for another prey on which to leverage and slowly get back on track. When a narcissist collapses, it is possible to notice how isolation and suffering are the masters. He’s just using another manipulation technique to get where he wants. The answer is no, Narcissus does not change. That might confuse the victim, because she’s going to wonder if she stood up to him and somehow got him to change. Common are the sentences “I realized what I lost” or “nobody loves me as you love me” or anything that suggests a deposition of weapons on his part. So he’s going to try to apologize, say he made a mistake, and he wants to go back. When a narcissist gives up sometimes, he does it to make you think he’s sorry.Let’s see the two differences: Advertisements And the surrender could be both a strategy and a real goodbye. When the narcissist loses power he will also try other ways than those already mentioned to try to recover the dominion he had. He’ll try to create guilt, which if you don’t respond to what he tells you, then you don’t have empathy.
