Psychologists have referred to the idea of learned helplessness when discussing some cases of poverty around the world.
Faced unrelentingly with tremendous hardship many people begin to believe that there is nothing that they can do to change their circumstances.
But it seems to me there is a kind of culture of learned helplessness in our own society.
We hear all the time how exposure to images on the news of famine, war and death overseas has desensitised us to what we are seeing. We see so much of it that in a way it does overwhelms us, and we safely go about our lives believing that there is nothing we can really do. We have learned to be helpless about it.
Sure the odd person decides to go overseas to a developing nation and volunteer for a while, but that's seen as almost the equivalent of a 'tree change' or 'sea change' – someone who is dissatisfied with their life and seeking a radical change.
After reading Peter Singer's book The Life You Can Save I realised that I have learned to be helpless about world poverty.
Singer approaches poverty as an ethicist, looking at the moral arguments surrounding poverty and charity.
One of his main arguments is based around the metaphor of children drowning in a pond. He argues that if we are aware of the children drowning then we are morally obliged to save them. What most of us do in our day to day lives when we ignore world poverty is to let children drown.
Through our inaction we let great suffering continue.
Singer explores the different reasons why we don't donate to charities to end world poverty. He brings up issues like valuing the provision of material possessions for our families over the lives of others, an unwillingness to help others who we do not know, and the preference to donating money to causes in our own countries.
It is interesting when you think about it that we will all readily donate money to help others when a natural disaster like the recent Queensland floods or the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami, something that takes us buy surprise – but we ignore problems that have set in for the long haul.
At one point in his book Singer takes the ethical argument to the extreme. In effect he asks us to weigh all our discretionary purchases to see whether having a cappuccino is more important to us than saving a life. Or to see whether buying a bottle of wine to have with your meal is more important. He argues that "in order to be good people, we must give until if we gave more, we would sacrifice something nearly as important as the bad things our donation can prevent".
He explores some interesting examples of people who have taken pretty extreme measures in their lives to donate more – people who are donating 50% of their income to charity. But these people feel like the few who pack up their bags to make the radical life change in developing nations overseas. They feel foreign to us. Not accessible to the bulk of us who feel tied to a life where we are always paying off something (the mortgage, the car…) or trying to get ahead just a little bit (put away something for the kids education or a holiday). Some of these people have made the decision that 'indulgences' like travel and consumer goods will not be a part of their lives if they're at the expense of the lives of others.
At times reading Singer's book made me feel quite guilty: because in truth I've neglected charity in my life – probably giving about $200 or $300 a year at best.
I love the fact that I am pretty anti consumerist for sustainability reasons but I also because I don't waste my cash on 'stuff'. I don't buy cappuccinos, or hoard pairs of shoes or get fancy haircuts. I don't smoke, I rarely drink. I save my money, dutifully ploughing our savings into our home loan.
But because I don't buy 'stuff' there are not a lot of discretionary purchases I can cut out of my life and give the money to charity instead. For me, donating more to charity means making a decision to value donating to charity above getting ahead financially. It means letting go of the security blanket of being ahead on the mortgage.
When it comes down to hard decisions, I think many of us decide not to sacrifice the good stuff we have, because of our own cultures learned helplessness. We see the problem as too big. Some of us essentially use the argument that the other adults standing around the pond aren't helping so why should we? We see poverty as just something that will always be there. We can't change it by saving one life.
The heartening thing about reading Singer's book though was how he examines the figures needed to turn around world poverty. Singer has designed a kind of progressive tax scale for charitable donations. He suggests that if just the top 10% of income earning American families donated according to his scale $471 billion a year would be generated to fight world poverty. This is an amazing figure when you compare it to the estimate of $189 billion a year needed to meet the UN Millennium Development Goals.
Reading books like Half the Sky has helped open my eyes up to world poverty. Both 'Half the Sky' and 'The Life You Can Save' have also helped my learned helplessness through showing the very real ways in which it can be tackled and that if we act together then we can make a difference. And it won't be a terrible burden to do so.
Singer is asking people to take a pledge to donate according to his scale. Many people have taken it to date and others (including the uber rich) have taken similar ones.
I'm not sure if I'm quite ready to take the pledge yet. I have to work through my mortgage security blanket issues and have a meaningful discussion about our money with my other half. But I am going to work my way towards that goal. I know (my getting ahead on the mortgage issues aside) that I can give more than I have in the past. I don't need to have a whole security blanket, just a small corner will do me, and maybe in the future I won't need one at all.
So I am resolved to give a whole lot more this year, and specifically to charities to help fight world poverty.
If you think you can too, will you join me?
Together we can.

A Doc, a Daddy, and a Dell
That is what is on the way to my house right now! A Doc - my Daddy's sweet dog. A Daddy - my Daddy. And a Dell - a new Dell notebook all for me!
You will just have to pardon Doc's wounded-pride picture, he was shaved too closely at the doggy barber's and he is not happy about it, I think. He might've had a date that night or something, and he was just really upset. He is a Malamute, so should definitely be darker in color - as in, his 'body' should match his head and the end of his tail. Poor guy.
What's that you say, you don't really think Anthony Hopkins is my father? Well! So you! Ok, ok, he is not really my father. But when my harddrive crashed in November, I lost all my photos. Ugh. And Anthony and my father remind me so much of each other, that I figured he was the perfect substitute. They sound alike, their mannerisms and facial expressions are similar, and, they were born just three years apart - he's a perfect match. My dad, however, is on his way to Alabama right this very minute, to visit me.
And he is also coming to bring me a brand spanking new Dell notebook! Oh my GOSH!!! I am so excited and I still can't believe he's giving me this thing! I was supposed to be getting a hand-me-down, and after one twist and turn in the road of life after another, it turns out that he is giving me a brand new one! How unbelievable and amazing!
He called around 1pm and he was in Louisiana - I think he could be here any minute now, or in an hour and a half, tops.
This is very cool, because he hasn't been out here yet, and we are excited to show him around and we are excited to show him our new house! It's no Imperial Palace Las Vegas, but, it's the biggest house we've ever lived in!

Prepare Your Skin For Colder Weather With These Natural Skin Care Tips
It may be the most wonderful time of the year, but not so true for your skin! We have reached that time of the year where women everywhere are looking for natural skin care routines to get them through the cold winter months. Even here in the south, the cold weather has arrived and taken its toll on your skin. Dry, cracked lips, rough, chapped hands, and dry flaky patches and bumps on our skin are just a few of the complaints people have this time of year. To help you combat these issues, here are some natural skin care tips and products you can use to get you through these cold, dry winter months.
Avoid hot, long baths or showers
When it's cold outside, who doesn't love a nice, long, hot shower or bath? Well, unfortunately, that could be the worst thing for your skin. Long, hot showers or baths can dry out your skin. Of course no one wants to have a cold shower in the winter, but a lukewarm shower or bath is recommended as it won't be as drying to your skin.
Use a humidifier…properly
When we crank up the heat in our homes to combat the cold outside, we suck the moisture right out at the same time. If you've already switched the thermostat to heat in your home, chances are you'll be looking for natural skin care remedies to soothe your dry skin if you aren't already! One way to help combat the dry air inside is to use a humidifier to add some moisture back into your home. Not only do humidifiers benefit your skin, they can help prevent nosebleeds, parched, cracked lips and help alleviate symptoms of respiratory issues like colds. Humidifiers must be cleaned and maintained regularlyand moisture levels should be monitored for optimal conditions.
Eat foods with Omega 3 fatty acids
Foods can have benefits for both natural skin care and hair care as well. Look to incorporate foods that contain Omega 3 fatty acids like walnuts, salmon, tuna, halibut and fortified cereals and juices. For more information on foods with natural skin care and hair care benefits, check out our recent blog post here.
Use winter to banish dark spots
If you need natural skin care products to help eliminate dark spots and uneven skin tone, winter is a great time to do this. Most of us are not outdoors quite as much this time of year, so this period of lessened outdoor exposure is a great time to use a nourishing cream like this even tone complexion cream with natural skin care ingredients like vitamin B3, vitamin E and super fruit serum to reduce dark spots. Remember it's important to use a sunscreen when you are outdoors, even in the winter months.
Of course, with the dry conditions of winter and your heated indoor environment, it's important to drink plenty of water as part of your hair, body, and natural skin care. Keep that H2O flowing for your overall health through the winter months.
Try some of these tips to help you with your natural skin care during these harsh, cold winter months. Don't forget to check out our entire line of natural skin care products specially formulated to even out skin tone and control oil all year long.

Didn't make the blueberry syrup so that might have been why we didn't like them to much.

STM32 programming options the easy way
Every time you start with new microcontroller, you have to deal with new ways of programming them. You may need to purchase and learn new tools and so on. But once you've done this process with any microcontroller, learning new is easy. So if you are in to STM32 microcontrollers Shawon have written pretty god guide on programming them. Since ARM Cortex micrcontrollers are flexible devices in terms of developing, debugging and flashing, you have several options of getting your code up and running. Like most manufacturers do, ST devices can be programmed and debugged with special ST-link adapter/debugger which works in JTAG or in SWD mode. Most development boards like discovery already have ST-link debugger integrated so the only thing is needed to run software and load your code.… Continue reading

Are you TERRIFIED that you'll never be able to eat bread again? Have you heard so many trendy diets tell you that bread is bad, that it makes you fat, causes disease, leaky gut, and other scary ailments? Or maybe you know the health benefits of bread, you just don't think you'd ever be able to make your own?
I've had the same fears! But now, Sourdough Bread is one of the top foods we'd recommend that you add to your diet. The low-carb craze never ends, it just changes names. Keto. Atkins. Paleo. But carbs in the form of bread CAN be a part of a healthy diet. Fully fermented sourdough bread is the key, and we will show you why and how to make your own healthy sourdough bread.
Sweet Friend, I'm Darie Estill, and I LOVE bread! About 15 years ago, I started taking my family on a real-food journey. But there was a catch--I don't like food unless it tastes really good! My goal became to eat healthy food that was delicious. A few years later when my daughter Georgia-Kate was 6 years old, her teeth were cavity-ridden and she craved only grains and sugar. I knew enough to know that these symptoms meant a serious gut issue. What's a mother to do? Calmly freak out, of course! I was so afraid that she would be gluten sensitive and I could absolutely NOT put my family on a gluten-free diet. In my mind, we may as well starve to ourselves to death.
I began a new chapter in our healthy-eating journey--searching out how to make sourdough bread that's easy and tastes amazing. It took over 3 years and many loaves of dense, sour bread to get to where we are today and to be able to take others on an easier path than the one I traveled. I hope that you have far fewer bricks (or none at all) and many more delightful ones!
When we owned our restaurant, Carolina became our head bread baker. She made hundreds of loaves of focaccia for our signature sandwiches. She's great at thinking out-of-the-box when it comes to creative recipes twists and joins me in our bread course videos.
Our Sourdough Simplified Bread Course is just that--A simple and easy way for you to bake sourdough bread right in your own home. You don't have to search for healthy bread you can eat anymore!
We'll be by your side the whole way, answering questions as you have them and cheering you on. It couldn't be easier.
Every family should have sourdough bread on their table. It's a basic, traditional, real food that people have eaten for millennia and for good reason.
Not only is it easy to make, there are lots of other amazing reasons to bake your own sourdough bread. Here are a few...
Caring for a starter isn't complicated! We'll show you everything you need to know about your bread starter, including sample schedules.
We'll share tips and projects for creating a warm, welcoming home.
From gluten to phytic acid, we'll teach you why YOUR family needs to be eating sourdough bread.
You'll learn our favorite recipes like sandwich loaves, cinnamon pastry loaves, tortillas, and more!
We'll teach you a few tricks that will assure a light texture and deeply flavored bread.
"As a volunteer chapter leader for the Weston A. Price Foundation, teaching others about how harmful nutrient-binding phytates found in legumes, nuts, seeds, and grains can be reduced by proper preparation like sprouting, soaking, or fermentation, I was thrilled to take Darie's sourdough class! It is rare to find true sourdough bread in stores, as most of it also contains yeast (and often other questionable ingredients). Darie demystified the process with step-by-step, hands-on directions even I--who usually get confused with many steps to follow--was able to come away with the process under my belt enough to start baking sourdough bread (and some specialty sourdough breads) on a weekly basis for my own family. Our favorite is the cinnamon cranberry pecan bread! Toasted with butter, it's a delicious, nutrient-dense breakfast! I would highly recommend Sourdough Bread Simplified, because I learned more than I ever imagined. I had read many books about making bread but just wasn't able to get the results I wanted. This class has given me the confidence to make excellent bread every time. "
"Through the years I had tried to make sourdough bread, only to find out we couldn't stomach it, either due to being too sour or too chewy and tough! I gave up! Back to the old yeast bread that I had made for years. I hated to continue spending precious time and money just to throw it out. Along comes Darie's sourdough bread class. Hmmm...Was her bread really any better than what I had tried to make?? The taste/texture was amazing!! I could hardly tell it was sourdough, and it had a delicious taste! The lessons learned were invaluable and couldn't all be put in book form. Some things you can only learn by walking along with someone as you follow the process. And now, we have sourdough breads of all types and enjoy all of them! We even make some to sell, with very happy customers!! It was definitely worth the time and money! Terri Taylor of Taylor Farms "
"I had the best experience ever when I took a Sourdough Bread making class from Darie and Carolina. I was given the confidence I needed to make bread on my own. I had built it up in my head, that as much as I wanted to learn how to make my own bread, my experiences of making my own sourdough bread had always turned out bad. I was able to make it, and it tastes good! I definitely would take any class they would be teaching!"

UPDATE: Well, Jimmy's filling in where it didn't quite work out for Conan, and started the gig this week, and Lorne's about to extend his influence over late night with his latest golden boy Seth Meyers. This is how things looked five years ago on the 4th of March 2009, and despite the odd clipworthy bit of business on Graham Norton, we're probably worse off now in the UK than we were then…
Network late night talk shows in the US are a curious thing. Every single weeknight there's a veritable smorgasbord of celebrity guests trundling through various studios on both sides of the coast. Soon, on NBC, there are going to be a whopping 4 talk shows back to back from 10pm, all part of a baffling strategy to recover from the nonsensical fumble of nearly putting the shit-yet-popular Jay Leno out to pasture. Leno now has a new slot at 10, Conan O'Brien is taking over the Tonight Show from Leno at 11, and Jimmy Fallon's taking over Late Night, with the punchworthy 90s throwback Carson Daly staying put with Last Call. Imagine Jonathan Ross followed by Graham Norton, followed by Michael Parkinson, followed by Lily Allen. Every night. Cripes.
Despite being some of the most infuriating, insincere and downright cringeworthy minutes of television to come out of the States, there's still something endlessly fascinating about it all. Something which we've tried to replicate in this country with varying degrees of success, with only really Jonathan Ross and Michael Parkinson being given multiple bites of the cherry, which is a pretty sad state of affairs. For my money the only people who really did this right were Jack Docherty and Bob Mills, and they got sweet FA for their troubles.
The first part of the NBC shuffle happened this week when Conan O'Brien handed over the reins of Late Night to Jimmy Fallon. Fallon, an ex-SNL cast member, loved and hated in fairly equal measure, failed to set the box-office alight with two curious clunker remakes as star vehicles, Taxi and Fever Pitch. Once paired with the now white-hot Tina Fey during a purple patch for Weekend Update, it'll be interesting to see if Fallon can pull it off and capture the nation's imagination in the same way. He's got non-threatening likeability in spades, and no less than The Roots as a houseband. Unlike most US television endeavours, Jimmy's will have some time to bed in, unless he Chevy Chases it right up and becomes a laughing stock, but judging from this promising bit of "Slow Jam News", I think he'll get by.

3 manicure and pedicure are my story
On Good Friday 2012, I decide not to do any manicure and pedicure by others anymore in the future.
1. I have done 3 manicure pedicure in my life. Red pink magenta: I am grateful for having tried my favorite colors.
2. It costs a great amount of $. I want to save for my partner's dream to buy a home that he is happy to stay in.
3. I am concerned with the health hazard (using shared cuticle pusher) – risks of infection, hepatitis.
4. I can do the manicure pedicure myself, though not up to the professional standard, yet who is going to examine my nail coating so close up? When will I have the time and patience?
Indeed, to be beautiful takes efforts, time, and $.

Twisted Lily chose this scent as one of the best new releases of 2018 because it is a scent journey, as fascinating as it is complex.

Who Counts as a Veteran?
August 29, 2017
Ten years ago I traded in my high school lacrosse stick for an M4 carbine and M203 grenade launcher. Three years later, I walked onto campus and found community with folks who struggled to understand my path from combat to college.
As an avid VKC blog reader, I have been impressed with the community's critical engagement of veteran support and our collective grappling with what it means to be a veteran. I am inspired by recent blog posts, such as Damien E. Pitts' Ain't I a Veteran and Amber Mathwig's Women. Veterans. History. Pitts, Mathwig, and others require us to see the ways in which all veterans do not fit on the small pedestal reserved for white, straight, ability-privileged, cisgender men with U.S. citizenship. I hope this blog post - written by a white, formerly low-income, queer, Jewish, and ability-privileged Israel Defense Forces veteran born and raised with citizenship in the U.S. - helps continue the dialogue.
Support for veterans has become an institutional priority for many across higher education, and research suggests that veterans' challenges vary by gender, race, class, ability status, and other intersecting identities. Sessions at the 2017 NASPA Annual Conference focused on military-connected students of color and the welcoming of first-year and transfer student veterans to campus. However, veterans of the U.S. military are not the only veterans on our campuses.
According to the 2016 Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange, more than one million students in the U.S. are considered international students. Many are veterans and/or military-connected students. For example, there are more than 80,000 South Korean students studying in the U.S., many of whom leave their studies temporarily to serve in the conscription-based Korea Armed Forces. Many of these students struggle to adjust between the egalitarian collegiate and hierarchical military cultures, and may return to their studies as non-traditional students, two years behind their peers with an increased risk for depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and suicide. The challenges faced by students who served in foreign militaries may be compounded compared to U.S. student veterans. Foreign student veterans often study in an unfamiliar cultural context, are separated from familiar support networks, face language barriers, and are excluded - explicitly or implicitly - from existing veteran support services.
Yet, our discourses around what it means to be a veteran and how to support veterans continue to ignore the full spectrum of student veteran experiences. Veteran support centers and student organizations focus almost exclusively on U.S. military veterans, and even our own VKC is complicit in making foreign student veterans invisible. The VKC welcome statement says that our community focuses on meeting the needs of military-connected students, defined as "all currently and formerly serving members of our military." When we frame the U.S. military as "our" military, we re-create artificial boundaries between students who consider the U.S. "theirs" and those who do not, and we let national borders determine which veterans are worthy of support. At a time of increasing diversity in higher education, our conceptions of and support for veterans continues to rely on a nationalist model that does not acknowledge or support all veterans.
Almost all of the research I can find on veterans studying in U.S. higher education institutions focuses on students who served exclusively in the U.S. military. Our singular focus on U.S. veterans mirrors our exclusive veteran specific spaces and support programs. My guess is that our parochial outlook stems from the Americentric allocation of federal grants and support programs, and it makes sense to spend federal dollars to support a nation's military veterans. However, without an intentional push to be inclusive of other student veterans' experiences, this Americentrism creates an environment that rarely supports students connected to non-U.S. militaries.
Student veteran recruitment and support is often driven by the belief that their military experiences enrich the campus environment. This belief has encouraged me to begin an exploratory research project on the unique challenges faced by students in the U.S. who served in foreign militaries. I hope this project will help us all acknowledge that student veterans' experiences, regardless of their country of service, are valued in higher education.

CURT HICKEN: Smaller area waters top for big bass
A common misconception among Illinois anglers is that large waters offer the best bass fishing. In actuality, however, nothing could be further from the truth.
Much of the Illinois' finest largemouth action can be found in the countless smaller lakes and streams that dot the rolling agricultural landscape. Quality bass lakes ranging in size from 20 to 1,500 acres can be found in virtually every county in the state.
In addition, untapped bass fishing opportunities can be found in the hundreds of miles of smaller streams and rivers that meander through the countryside.
Any Illinois fisheries biologist will willingly admit there's a wealth of terrific fishing to be found in the smaller lakes and streams throughout the state. In fact, many of these waters contain bass populations that are well above the statewide average.
Results from recent electroshocking surveys only prove these claims. Fisheries biologists have uncovered a number of little-known, out-of-the-way honeyholes containing superb populations of bragging-size largemouths.
The Gillespie New Lake in Macoupin County is a perfect example of a small lake with a big bass population. Here, fall population samplings at this lake annually show extraordinary numbers of largemouth bass, and a good proportion of these fish are above the three-pound mark.
Like many of the state's smaller waters, Gillespie New Lake is a community-owned reservoir. Though only 270 acres in size, the lake boasts some of the finest bass fishing to be found in the entire state.
As is the case in most community-owned lakes, there is no charge for fishing. However, a local watercraft registration fee must be paid before a boat can be launched.
Depending upon the lake, fees may range from a couple of dollars for a daily permit to $50 or more for an annual pass. The horsepower of your motor as well as how far you live from the lake, often determines the price of a boat registration.
Many of these lakes also have horsepower restrictions and special fishing and boating regulations. It is always best to check with the site before planning a trip to one of these destinations.
Litchfield's Lake Lou Yaeger and Glenn Shoals Lake at Hillsboro both also fall into the "top-bets" category. While small compared to the state's sprawling Corps of Engineer impoundments, these Montgomery County lakes are top notch bass fishing waters.
Electrofishing samplings indicate both locations hold good bass populations. A number of local bass anglers hold these waters in high regard.
But, the list does not stop here. Many more area lakes are also good bets for big largemouths.
Pittsfield Lake in Pike County would be another good choice for bass anglers looking for quality fishing. In one recent fall sampling, biologists dipped and measured well over 100 largemouth bass at this lake.
The 241-acre Pittsfield Lake contains good numbers of bass in the one to three-pound range. Here, samplings also show a number of largemouth bass weighing up to 5 pounds.
Downstate anglers can choose from a variety of small waters boasting good populations of quality bass. The relatively new Peabody River King State Fish and Wildlife Area near Sparta offers anglers at least 19 lakes from which to choose.
Almost all of these lakes hold thriving populations of largemouth bass. In fact, many of these lakes show promise of excellent bass fishing.
According to biologists, the less-accessible larger lakes in the north sub-impoundment will likely offer some of the finest bass fishing. These waters experience some of the lightest fishing pressure in spite of excellent bass populations.
In previous samplings, biologists found Island, Levee and Beaver lakes to each contain superb bass populations. Previous totals showed good numbers of largemouth bass in the 14 to 15-inch category.
A good Illinois map will reveal dozens of these lakes and streams throughout the state. But, these are only the larger ones. Many more smaller waters that are not shown also hold promise of superb largemouth bass fishing.
Fisheries biologists will often point out some excellent fishing waters within a short drive of your home. Contact our local IDNR regional office for the name and phone number of your area biologist.
Bait and tackle stores are also excellent sources of information. These folks usually know most of the best fishing waters in their area. Most are willing to share this information with their customers.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources offers a free publication that lists many of the smaller, lesser known fishing locations in the state. Single copies of the Illinois Fishing Guide are available free by calling (618)462-1181.

Here's a question for you. How much has your current gym, or they gym you used to go to, helped you meet your goals? Did you get everything you wanted to from your training, or were you hoping for better results?
The fact is, if you want different results, you have to try something different.
We're Different…in a Good Way
At Thrive Gym, we approach fitness and weight loss differently than other gyms. Here are a few things we think you should consider as you work towards your fitness goals:
- It's not just about the weight – While losing weight can help you win great prizes, becoming skinny and weak doesn't help anyone. At Thrive Gym, we believe that fitness is really about having the strength to be active and do the things you love.
- Not all calories are created equal – While it's true that calories burned versus calories eaten is the basic formula for weight loss, what is even more important is what you get out of each calorie. Phytonutrients from a diet high in vegetables not only help you lose weight but help to fight off disease.
- True health lasts a lifetime, not just for a few weeks – A lot of people take part in fitness challenges or boot camps that last for a short period of time. But, this is about your health for the rest of your life, not just for the next six weeks. You can start to build good habits during a challenge, but the most important thing, for your health, is to keep going and make these habits life-long.
- Stay smart, stay safe – Some gyms train new members too hard, too fast and use equipment or exercises that can cause injury. At Thrive, we believe that your training should begin where you are, and that you should build up gradually as your capacity for exercise increases. This helps prevent injuries, burnout and keeps the workouts fun, which they should be.
- The only competition is you – Competition is great for people engaged in team sports with tournament goals in mind. For everyday training, it has no place. At Thrive Gym, you will not feel the sting of peer pressure or judgment as you work toward your goals. We encourage all of our clients to only listen to voices that empower them. Judgment impedes progress. Acceptance and exploration promotes growth.
Remember, if you want different results than you've had in the past, you have to try something different. If you want better workouts, you have to try a better gym.

On August 15, 1923, National League President John A. Heydler appointed Cullen to be in charge of the new NL service department. He had been a Philadelphia sports writer. He served in this position until at least March 8, 1933, but was no longer in this position by January 1, 1934. He had resigned his position in 1933. Ford Frick took over the job on March 1, 1934.
Cullen Cain (Baseball. Born, Warsaw, Mo., Dec. 3, 1874; died, Coral Gables, Fla., Nov. 26, 1958.) An itinerant newspaperman who became a baseball writer for the Philadelphia Public Ledger, Cullen Cain was the first publicity director for the National League. Cain sold the idea of opening a Service Bureau in New York to N.L. president John Heydler in 1922. He was the first full-time publicist in baseball history. Cain ran the Service Bureau until 1933, when he resigned to go back into the newspaper business. His successor was sportswriter and part-time sportscaster Ford Frick, who later became N.L. president (1934) and Commissioner of Baseball (1951). Ironically, Cain was hit by a baseball during spring training after leaving the N.L. job and suffered a severe eye injury that left him blind by the early 1940s.

Sidney M. Ziff---AKA Sid Ziff

Attended Amherst College (Amherst, MA), 1951
Los Angeles Mirror, veteran sports editor, 1924 - 1966
Father: Harris Ziff, born Russia, around 1868; Mother: Annie Goflan, born Poland (sometimes Russia); Wife: Frances, born Louisiana, around 1908; Son: Jerald, born California, around 1935;
He was the youngest sports editor ever in Los Angeles.
In May, 1950, he became sports editor of the Mirror, and when the Mirror consolidated with The Times in January, 1962, he became a sports columnist. He retired in 1967.
"Sid had an opinion on everything, and he didn't mind expressing it, either," recalled Paul Zimmerman, former Times sports editor, now retired.
Ziff's opinions often were based on instant observation. For instance, in the opening week of the 1963 National League season, the Dodgers lost and Ziff immediately labeled them a team going nowhere. They won the pennant.
On another occasion, after the Dodgers had lost the sixth game of a World Series, he wrote them off and didn't stay for the seventh game. They won it.
He was often a tyrant around his staff, but he bore no grudges. Moments after chewing out one of his writers or deskmen, he would casually ask about his family, golf game or night life with a genuine interest. Once, when a particular story didn't come out the way he wanted it, he picked up a typewriter and threw it across the room.
When he wrote his column, he talked it out, and it often read more like a conversation than a story.
"The Pilot (as the staff called him) is one of a kind, and I don't ever want to meet another one," the late Harley Tinkham once said of his boss.
Old-timers at the Times-Mirror recall Ziff walking through the corridors, reading his column and chuckling to himself. He never looked up, so fellow employees learned to give him a wide berth.
"The guys in the composing room will remember him," Zimmerman said. "He would write his column and then (instead of rewriting) he would go to the composing room and make corrections after it was set in type. The Linotype operators used to dread seeing him coming."
Ziff became sports editor of the Express in 1924, and when it merged with the Herald, he retained his position. After four years in the Army during World War II, Ziff returned to Los Angeles and became sports editor of the Valley Green Sheet, later the Valley Times.
On Oct. 15, 1962, his 57th birthday, Ziff was honored with a testimonial dinner at the Biltmore Bowl. He also had a number of columns reprinted in the "Best Sports Stories" anthologies.
When he decided to retire, he told associates: "I'm going to retire now (at 62) because I don't like writing obituaries about friends of mine who are dying."
He spent much of his time in early retirement playing bridge at the Los Angeles Athletic Club.
Ziff is survived by his wife, Frances, with whom he lived in a West Los Angeles rest home before being taken to Midway Hospital, where he died. Other survivors include his son, Gerald, a professor of art history at the University of Chicago; daughter-in-law, Jackie; granddaughters and a nephew, Dr. Harris Ziff, of Westlake Village.

Called one "of the best historians in the United States," David Pietrusza has produced a number of critically-acclaimed works concerning 20th century American history.

Historian Richard Norton Smith has listed "1920: The Year of the Six Presidents" as being among the best studies of presidential campaigns.
Pietrusza's biography of Arnold Rothstein entitled "Rothstein: The Life, Times & Murder of the Criminal Genius Who Fixed the 1919 World Series" was a finalist for the 2003 Edgar Award. Rothstein's audio version won an AUDIOFILE Earphones Award.
Pietrusza's "Judge and Jury, his biography of baseball's first commissioner, Kenesaw Mountain Landis," received the 1998 CASEY Award and was also a Finalist for the 1998 Seymour Medal and nominated for the NASSH Book Award.
Pietrusza collaborated with baseball legend Ted Williams on an autobiography called "Ted Williams: My Life in Pictures."
His books have been utilized as texts by such colleges as George Washington University, the City University of New York, the University at Buffalo, Baylor University, Bellevue College, the University of Illinois, and the University of San Francisco. "1920" has been part of the syllabus for the course "Congress, The Presidency & 21st Century Media" offered by C-SPAN, The Cable Center and the University of Denver. His talk on "Silent Cal's Almanack" is included in the curriculum for the C-SPAN Classroom initiative.
Pietrusza served as president (1993-97) of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), and as editor-in-chief of the publishing company Total Sports.
