— variance analysis notes about prior week into this week — 

Last week began Harv’s retirement — zero life.work not forced, a direct move into work bits.  Stand Up Paddle boarding is supFLOAT but the following moved directly into the “nice alts”.

Where should Harv spend more money?   Movies ?  But Amazon money flows just as ever.  Harv not a hermit by Bob (a recluse?)    Reading ?  nothing forward structured ?  thus the blog is self ending each post.

A issue brought to the fore is CUTTING THE BEARD and subsequent maintenance, ie, frequency of the facial hair cut.

No matter what some people will tell you, tariffs are, in fact, taxes. When you combine the potential tariff rates that the Trump administration could impose on us, the consumer, with the inflation that raged out of control coming out of the pandemic, it feels like things have gotten away from us.    Take a look at a recent report from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation. It estimates that under President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs, the effective tariff rate will be 8% in 2025. That’s so high that it would go off the page if you were charting tariff rates over the last 55 years.        The issue is that prices have already gotten much more expensive over the last five years because of heightened inflation. The cumulative inflation rate during that period, according to the Consumer Price Index, has been over 23%.    We haven’t had a higher five-year inflation rate in over 30 years. The median five-year inflation rate since the late 1940s is only a bit more than 14%.    To stay with the grocery store comparison, the price of an average chicken is now over $2 more expensive than it was in February 2020. The price of a loaf of white bread is $0.50 more expensive. A pound of ground beef is over $1.50 more expensive.  https://view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/174319932680379ccdba37d2f/raw?utm_source=cnn_What+Matters+for+March+28%2C+2025&utm_medium=email&bt_ee=pM2vO%2Bz8XKTi1wmERy3cQFi4U5T1zGGPudJIBV3yNtkHa8gx6IulKSfBSBO7f95g&bt_ts=1743199326805

Non-fiction (or nonfiction) is any document or media content that attempts, in good faith, to convey information only about the real world, rather than being grounded in imagination.[1] Non-fiction typically aims to present topics objectively based on historical, scientific, and empirical information. However, some non-fiction ranges into more subjective territory, including sincerely held opinions on real-world topics.[2]        Based on the author's intention or the purpose of the content, the main genres of non-fiction are instructional, explanatory, discussion-based, report-based (non-chronological), opinion-based (persuasive) and relating (chronological recounting) non-fiction.[5][10] Non-fictional works of these different genres can be created with the help of a range of structures or formats such as:

reference works (almanacs, encyclopaedias, atlases, bibliographies, chronicles, consumer reports, dictionaries, thesauri, business or telephone directories, handbooks, yearbooks, books of quotations, etc)

life writings (autobiographies, biographies, confessions, diaries, logs, memoirs, epistles, letters, postcards and letter collections, epitaphs, obituaries, etc.)

literary criticism (book reports and book reviews), art criticism, film criticism

persuasive writing (apologias and polemics), essays and essay collections; promotional writing (brochures, pamphlets, press releases, advertorials, etc.)

history books

academic texts (scholarly papers including scientific papers, monographs, scientific journals, treatises, edited volumes, conference proceedings, etc.)

news stories, editorials, letters to the editor, and opinion pieces, manifestos, notices (announcements), documentary films and factual television

textbooks, study guides, field guides, travelogues, recipes, owner's manuals and user guides

self-help books, popular science books, blogs, presentations, orations, sayings

And so on.[5] Common literary examples of non-fiction include expository, argumentative, functional, and opinion pieces; essays on art or literature; biographies; memoirs; journalism; and historical, scientific, technical, or economic writings (including electronic ones).[11]  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fiction Harv’s interest is to read /investigate current event issues   The current media issues are blogged /‘written’ via curation (HarvOtto.com organized).  A to-do list of future read depends on reasoned curiosity.

To effectively read nonfiction, engage critically, preview the text, identify the main ideas and supporting details, and actively monitor your comprehension by summarizing and making connections to prior knowledge. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown of strategies for reading nonfiction:

1. Preview and Plan:

Look at the parts:

Nonfiction books often have helpful features like a table of contents, index, glossary, photographs, charts, and a list of sources. 

Preview:

Before diving in, scan the headings, subheadings, and any visuals to get an overview of the text's structure and content. 

Set a purpose:

Ask yourself "What will I learn about?" to take control of the reading process. 

2. Active Reading:

Identify the main idea: Focus on the central point of each paragraph or chapter. 

Recognize how text is organized: Nonfiction can follow chronological order, compare and contrast, or use other organizational patterns. 

Monitor comprehension: Stop periodically to retell what you've read to test your understanding and identify any gaps. 

Summarize: Identify the most important information and put it in your own words. 

Take notes: Write down key ideas, questions, and your thoughts in the margins or a separate notebook. 

Engage critically: Question the author's claims, evidence, and purpose. 

3. Deepen Understanding:

Make connections: Relate the information to your prior knowledge and experiences. 

Ask questions: Why is the author telling me this? What's the thesis? What's the main point of this paragraph/chapter? 

Explore further: Use the index, glossary, and list of sources to delve deeper into the topic. 

Don't feel you need to finish: If a book is not engaging, move on to something else. 

Start with the author bio: Get a sense of the author's background and perspective. 

Read the table of contents: Get an overview of the book's structure. 

Highlight important passages: Mark key information for later review. 

Use a set of note-taking symbols: Develop a system for organizing your notes. 

Dog-ear pages you want to re-visit: Mark pages for quick reference. 

4. Benefits of Reading Nonfiction:

Expand your knowledge: Nonfiction can help you learn about a wide range of topics. 

Improve vocabulary: You'll encounter new words and concepts. 

Enhance critical thinking: Nonfiction encourages you to analyze information and form your own opinions. 

Develop reading comprehension: Reading nonfiction can improve your ability to understand complex texts. 

Increase your understanding of the world: Nonfiction can help you see the world from different perspectives.

A powerful quake shook Myanmar and neighboring Thailand on Friday, killing at least 150 people and burying others under the rubble of high-rises.         But while intervention by lawmakers and others kept the contracts for the civilian search-and-rescue teams intact, contracts for the special transport needed to get the search teams, dogs and heavy equipment to a disaster area are believed to have been cut, Charles said.    Meanwhile, staffing cuts at USAID have “decimated” the teams that normally would be coordinating with allies to target rescue and response efforts in the field, Charles said.    Other foreign assistance contract cuts by the administration have hit disaster-response emergency services with the United Nations and others.    https://apnews.com/article/trump-earthquake-usaid-disaster-asia-myanmar-001e305f0233611c0702629803e6239b
