Previous Challenge Entry (Level 4 – Masters)
Topic: Expert (09/05/13)
- TITLE: Next Time
By Virgil Youngblood
I'm not a gambling man, but I once won a ten dollar bet with my teenage son. We were sitting in lounge chairs in a women's dress shop watching his mother screech hangers down the metal rod they were suspended from. Screech, screech, screech resounded as she flipped through styles and sizes hurriedly. I have accused her of operating on auto pilot sometimes, not even looking. All over the store other women intent on finding value, added to the racket.
When she finally looked our way, arms covered with selections, she smiled and headed for the dressing rooms.
"I'll bet you five dollars your mother doesn't buy anything," I told my son.
"You're on," he said. "Look at all those threads she's carrying."
"Wait and see, and get your money out."
After a bit she headed back to the racks empty handed. "Still looking," she called out.
"I don't believe it," Ed said.
"Well son, I know your mother. I'll be surprised if she buys anything today. But, if she does it will look good on her and it will be at a bargain price."
After a while, she headed to the dressing rooms carrying another load. She paused, holding up several items for us to see; we vigorously nodded our approval. Off she went.
"Double or nothing," I proposed.
"That's easy money," Ed said. "You're on. She will find something this time for sure."
After a while, she appeared empty handed saying, "Let's go."
"Mom," Ed said, "I'll give you five dollars toward any purchase. How about this scarf?"
She didn't, much to Ed's chagrin. He never paid me and I never brought it up. I'm keeping a mental score though, just for fun.
Today, I was in luck. After making me pirouette, she quickly approved my selection of a pair of Levi's. She left to screech racks and I changed back into my well worn jeans. I exited the changing room and strolled toward the women's section. We were in a big-box outlet mall store. I didn't see her, so I kept walking and looking down intersecting aisles.
Glancing to my right, I saw a pitiful sight. An old man, slender, frail looking, thinning sandy hair, red-rimmed eyes full of tears, was standing next to a rack of ladies cotton night-gowns. He held one in each hand, chest high. Both were a pastel color, one with something pale-blue imprinted on it, maybe flowers, the other a muted-red print of similar design. He had a weepy, frightened look in his eyes, as if he wanted to run, but couldn't.
I took that all in, in that moment of eye to eye contact, and looked away. I surmised his wife had a health crisis and that he was on unfamiliar ground shopping for her. I almost broke stride, but my instincts were trumped thinking my wife would know best how to help him. She took care of my aunt and her mother in their later years. She would know the garments that would be appropriate. Her compassionate counsel, servant heart and beautiful smile have been balm to many in times of distress.
But, I wondered, was there really anything we could do? How hard can it be to buy a night gown?
Scripture instructs us to bear one another's burdens. But I failed to offer as much as a smile, much less initiate a conversation to determine if there was a need I could meet.
Perhaps he was handling everything okay, just distressed by the circumstances of his life. I don't really believe that, that he was handling everything okay, but I don't know either. And that's the problem. I was too busy hurrying through the day. I didn't even seek my wife's wise counsel when I located her three aisles over.
I regret that I passed the old gentleman by. He is indelibly imprinted on my soul, a scar to remind me that I am called to serve.
I have asked God's forgiveness.

Who says you have to go abroad to get a real taste of adventure or woo a woman? If you and your date are looking for some fun and exploring, the best idea is to explore your own city.
This makes for a perfect date because it is a unique idea and it involves the excitement of exploring an area. What could be more fun and affordable than mapping out an entire adventure in your own city? The best way to plan this is to go through carefully selected sights and monuments in the city, where both of you get to add your input in where to go (a great way to bond) and decide to explore it together. Take a map of your city and sit down with your date, marking all the places you want to visit. You can share some fun, exciting stories about your memories from that place and listen to hers, to get a glimpse of her life as well. If not, you both could end up learning a lot about the history of a place and imitate a good vacation abroad. They say if you really want to know a person, then you should travel with them. In this scenario you do get to travel and not very far, ensuring that both of you have a fun, relaxed time.
To make this adventure even more exciting, you can suggest 'restaurant hopping'. This means that when it is time for both of you to eat, don't end the adventure and actually continue it in terms of food. Select one place for drinks or starters and move on to another place for the main course and another place for the dessert! This is great way to keep the night going and to not get bored. It is also a great getting-to-know-each other technique as you can discuss your favourite cuisines and get to try them together. Instead of a steady dinner where you stay at the same restaurant, you're opting for a palate adventure that enables her to see your fun, relaxed side. Even you do not plan exploring an area in the city you can still carry out the restaurant hopping plan. In this way, you successfully turn a normal dinner plan in to something of an intimate adventure. This also gives you more time to spend with your date. What better way to bond than to bond over food!

Do you remember that annoying word someone said to you that remained in your head for days?
Do you remember that situation that kept replaying itself inside your head over and over?
I am pretty sure it happened to you before that a bad thing happened to you then you kept thinking about it all day. I am pretty sure you also noticed that no matter how strongly you try to push that thought away it always keeps coming back to you.
In my previous article Where do emotions come from? i said that emotions always have a purpose. Your mind doesn't send you emotions to bother you but it sends you emotions to motivate you to take important actions.
When your mind keeps repeating the same situation over and over it's simply trying to tell you that you need to handle what happened properly so that the bad emotions go away.
No you might be asking yourself, how can you handle something that already happened in the past?
The good news is that you can still do that well, let me tell you how you can do it.
When your mind keeps reminding you of the same thing over and over then it wants one or both of the following things done:
Now for the sake of simplicity let's suppose that this bad situation was that someone humiliated you in the presence of others.
The first thing your mind wants you to do in such a case is to reach out to that person and to assertively express your discontent with their actions. See how to be assertive.
But what if you can't reach that person again?
Why is your mind reminding you of the situation over and over?
In such a case your mind just wants a promise that this situation won't be repeated again.
This promise can't be the form of spoken words for you need serious actions to back your promise. In such a case starting right away to learn how to respond assertively to people who bully you will send your subconscious mind a signal telling it that you are serious.
In my book The 5 Minute Happiness Formula i said that a promise alone can help you change your mood instantly provided that your subconscious mind trusts you. This is why learning how to make your subconscious mind trust you is a very important requirement for changing your mood instantly.
Your subconscious mind will never leave you alone before you resolve the conflict that took place. The reason it keeps sending you those images over and over is that it demands an action.
If you did the horrible advice of keeping yourself busy then your bad mood won't change and the bad situation won't leave your mind.
The only way out of this problem is to take the proper action. Once that is done the memory will leave your brain and the bad feelings will stop.

|Who is Bernard Madoff, the man behind the $50 billion fraud?
|Written by Christopher Bollyn
The Strange Case of Ira Sorkin
Why Would a Madoff Victim Defend Him in Court?
Understanding the Zionist Fundraising Scheme
Surrounding Bernie Madoff and the Missing $50 Billion
Update: March 10, 2009
By Christopher Bollyn
Mega-fraudster Bernard Madoff appeared in court on March 10 to discuss whether his head defense attorney, Ira Lee Sorkin, has a conflict of interest due to the fact that Mr. Sorkin and his family are among the "victims" of Madoff's alleged $50 billion fraud. Indeed, the names of Ira Sorkin and those of his late parents, Nathan and Rosalie, appear no fewer than 9 times on a published list of Madoff's victims. Madoff's parents had at least six accounts with Madoff. Sorkin, however, has yet to appear in a single news photograph with his most notorious client, the much despised Bernie Madoff.
Ira Sorkin, on right in the pumpkin-colored shirt, at a recent Hebrew University event in Palm Beach, has yet to be photographed with his notorious client, Bernie Madoff. Why does he avoid being seen in public with Madoff?
Madoff is usually seen with another lawyer, not Sorkin, when he leaves court.
Prosecutors are asking Madoff to answer questions about a potential conflict of interest concerning Sorkin, who reportedly invested $900,000 with the Zionist con-man who bilked billions of dollars from unwitting investors, according to the New York Post. Madoff was the former national treasurer of such major Zionist organizations as the American Jewish Congress and Yeshiva University (YU).
Madoff's defense attorney "Ike" Sorkin had also invested $18,860 with Madoff in a retirement account during the early 1990s prosecutors said in a letter to a federal judge made public today, according to news reports. Madoff has also reportedly said that he will plead guilty to 11 crimes, in two day's time, on Thursday.
Furthermore, from 1995 to 1997, Sorkin served as the Chief Legal Officer and a Member of the Board of Directors for Nomura Holding America, Inc. and Nomura Securities International, Inc., one of the larger corporate victims of the Madoff scam. In December 2008 Nomura Holdings reported losing more than $302 million into Madoff's black hole. Madoff had also defrauded a client's trust fund managed by Sorkin's previous law firm.
Given these obvious connections, the real question being avoided by the controlled-media is: Are Bernie Madoff and Ike Sorkin partners in crime? Three months into the investigation of the Madoff scam and still not one bit of information has been forthcoming about where the billions of dollars disappeared to. In this day and age, after 9-11, when international transactions over $10,000 are scrutinized by federal snoops, how can it be that $50 billion simply disappeared into thin air, or a financial black hole as the case may be? This does not make any sense. Somebody is obviously blowing a very big and thick cloud of smoke around this whole Madoff affair and that cloud obscures the courtroom proceedings and media coverage.
The BBC News reported in February that not one dollar of the Madoff money had been re-invested during the past 13 years. What does this mean? In order for such immense sums to be secretly stashed away, Madoff must have criminal partners in the private banking business who have the ability and capacity to transfer billions of dollars to secret offshore accounts without being seen on the books. Judging by Madoff and the people around him, these accounts are probably in Switzerland or other offshore tax havens, and are controlled by Zionist/Israeli organizations and individuals.
It may, at first glance, seem quite confusing that Madoff's defense lawyer, Ira Lee Sorkin, is actually a defrauded "customer" of his. Why would a lawyer like "Ike" Sorkin want to defend a fraudster like Madoff who apparently stole his money and that of his late parents? Why would Sorkin even want to defend Madoff? What are Sorkin's interests in this huge case of fraud in which some $50 billion are said to have been stolen? Why are high-profile Jewish "victims" like Steven Spielberg and others not going after Madoff with all the power and money they have? What's going on?
As previously stated, it appears most likely that a great deal of the missing money was sent to offshore Israeli-controlled accounts through such corrupt private banks as Israel Discount Bank, where Madoff's partner at Yeshiva University's business school, Sy Syms, has been a director for many years. The Israel Discount Bank is controlled by the Bronfman family. Sorkin, a Zionist supporter and fund-raiser, fits perfectly into this scenario -- as Madoff's lead defense attorney.
Besides his career as a lawyer, Mr. Sorkin is President and Chairman of the Board of a private company called the American Friends of the Hebrew University, Inc. (AFHU). He is also a member of Hebrew University's Board of Governors and a member of the University's Executive Committee. Hebrew University is located in Jerusalem and is the oldest Zionist university in Palestine.
As head of AFHU, Sorkin works closely with fellow director Harvey M. Krueger, former vice chairman of the now defunct Lehman Brothers, Inc. Krueger is the former chairman of the Board of Governors of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, a position he held for nine years, and was the former President and Chairman of the American Friends of the Hebrew University. Krueger is also the past Chairman of the [Shimon] Peres Center for Peace and has been a major fund-raiser for Israel and Israeli banks since the early 1960s.

Carmi Gillon, as head of Shin Bet. Israeli spymasters are asked to serve on past retirement age. Gillon is the third head of Shin Bet to have a conspicuous role in 9-11 and the financial scam. Abraham Shalom Ben-Dor and Yaakov Peri, a.k.a. Jacob Perry, are two others. Are we beginning to see a pattern?

Queen's "We Are The Champions" was the graduation theme song for the class of 1984 at Murphy High School, in Mobile, Alabama. It was probably the graduation theme song for numerous classes before that, since it was released in 1977. I was among six commencement speakers chosen by the senior and junior classes for the ceremony—at which the Murphy High School chorus sang the song, accompanied by the Murphy High School band.
"We Are The Champions" is not even one of my favorite Queen songs, let alone my favorite songs, in general. The lyrics are simpler than those of my favorite Queen songs—and the music is not nearly as complex. Yet note the passionate singing of Freddie Mercury—and the unforgettable instrumentation of the band, particularly the electric-guitar artistry. And note the raw, wild, real, personal, sincere, human interaction between the band and the audience.
Yes, this is the kind of music that was played at graduation ceremonies and sporting events before the Digital Age.
No, this is not a commercial—this is the kind of music that is played at graduation ceremonies and sporting events in this Digital Age. There is no band—all of the music is digitally programmed, and electronically produced. And the lyrics are not just simple—they're totally simplistic, and indescribably trite. The singing isn't passionate at all—it's completely contrived. And there is no interaction with an audience, because the only audience is an unseen collective of smartphone addicts—none of whom are even interacting with each other.
This is Digital-Age decadence.

Vist-A-Walls figure in major Vancouver area transportation link
The Golden Ears Bridge crosses the Fraser River and establishes a vital corridor between Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Surrey and Langley via a connecting 14 km road system.
Proven retaining wall expertise and product performance led to AIL and Vist-A-Walls being selected for this project. Both Wire Walls and Precast Panel Walls were used, with the latter including a custom-cast Eagle motif.
One unique challenge was the low bearing capacity of the soft foundation soils which required the use of lighter weight pumice and river sand as backfill materials.

The PMOI members, residents of Camp Ashraf in Iraq were forced to leave the camp, their home they had built during 26 years, as of February 2012 to Camp Liberty a former deserted US base located at the proximity of Baghdad International Airport.
In the aftermath of April 2011-attack against Camp Ashraf, the then Iraq's prime minister al-Maliki at the behest of the Iranian regime, unilaterally decided that Camp Ashraf has to be shut down at the end of 2011. Then, al-Maliki and the Iranian regime came up with a joint plan for closure of Ashraf and forced eviction of the residents to Camp Liberty.
The MoU and the SRSG's misinformation
The plan was to be advanced by Martin Kobler, the then Special Representative of the UN Secretary General for Iraq. At that time, the Iraqi government entered into an agreement with the UN, dubbed Memorandum of Understanding, which put forth several items for which the Iraqi Government would be responsible. These included, inter alia, providing safety and security for the residents and ensuring that Camp Liberty would meet international human rights standards and swift resettlement of the residents in third countries by the UNHCR.
The residents also received reassurances from SGSR Kobler and the US Government. SRSG Kobler reaffirmed the above commitments and stated in writing that the UN would provide 24/7 monitoring of Liberty. For its part the US Government, through Secretary Clinton, stated that, "officials from [the] U.S. Embassy [in] Baghdad will visit regularly and frequently."
Safe haven in Camp Liberty!
However, terrible conditions in Camp Liberty abound. The conditions not only are an ongoing challenge for the residents, they also violate international human-rights standards and provide no safety or security for the residents. Consequently, to date, Camp Liberty has been attacked on three separate occasions by forces affiliated to al-Maliki. These attacks have left 14 residents dead and over hundreds wounded.
The sub-standard infrastructures
The camp's infrastructures do not meet relevant provisions of international law or the requirements set out in the MoU, let alone the expectations of the residents who continue to languish in great danger. Running water was not available at the camp. The residents spent over 2.5 million US dollars to construct water purification and supply system.
Before the residents were moved to Camp Liberty, SRSG Kobler brought a UNHCR expert to certify that the infrastructure of Camp Liberty is in accordance with international humanitarian standards stipulated in MoU. However, the shelter expert from Switzerland did not certify but made an assessment on January 19th, stressing that Camp Liberty lacks proper infrastructure and is not suitable for Ashraf residents. Nevertheless, Martin Kobler misled the international community and silenced that assessment report.
Camp Liberty under siege
All functions of life including cooking, cooling systems, food storage, lighting, water pumps, sewage discharging pumps, bakery etc. are dependent upon electricity power. The electricity power itself is delivered by power generators. Only a limited number of power generators are working. The Iraqi Camp management bars entrance of proper parts for maintenance and repair which has left the generators at stake. Moreover, the power generators function by diesel fuel purchased by the residents. The Iraqi management cuts off the fuel, at its leisure, halting the entire lifecycle at the camp.
The containers and bathroom facilities (ablution units) have already served their life; many of the facilities are broken down and need materials to be rehabilitated. However, the Iraqi Camp Management is constantly denying residents to bring in the needed material. The sewage system requires daily work by the residents as it needs materials. Residents' septic trucks as well as Iraqi contracted septic trucks have to work several hours per day for disposal of sewage. Yet, the Iraqi Camp Management bars entry of material as it deliberately holds septic trucks at the Camp's entrance creating delays, causing overflow of raw sewage near the residential quarters which raises concern about infectious disease to develop.
In Camp Liberty, the terrain is very rocky, making it extremely difficult for even healthy people to move around, not mentioning those who have bone conditions like arthritis. Yet, the residents are not allowed to construct pavements that would accommodate the movement.
The plight of the residents is not finished yet; the Iraqis restrict essential livelihood supports such as cloths, fabrics, computers, cellphones, stationery, materials and supplies for air conditioning and ventilating systems.
Adding to these challenging conditions are serious due process violations. The Iraqi Camp Management has prohibited lawyers of the residents from accessing the Camp. So, they are not able to lodge any type of complaint. The residents are denied the ability to see any outside visitors. They are prohibited from leaving the Camp, thus denying them freedom of movement.
Medical restrictions
The right of free access to healthcare for the residents of Camp Liberty is also violated by the Iraq government. This grave violation of both medical and basic human rights principles has resulted in the rapid deterioration of the health conditions in the camp and even in death of some. In a letter delivered to the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, the World Medical Association wrote, "According to testimonies and reports from human rights organizations the basic rights of the 2700 residents - such as access to physicians and medicine, the confidentiality of physician-patient relationship or the right of patients to have interpreter and accompanying nurses when needed – are frequently violated". "Furthermore, numerous reported cases relate to situations where hospitalization of patients and purchase of medicine have been prevented. Other examples include cancellation of medical appointments, delayed transfers of patients to hospital, or denial of permission to travel outside the Camp to receive treatment."
UN Working Group: Camp Liberty is a detention center
UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention — an independent and impartial body of experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council whose mandate is to investigate detentions imposed arbitrarily or inconsistently with international human rights standards—discussed the case of the residents of Camp Liberty in two separate opinions on May 4 and August 30, 2012. Due to a lack of due process protections and proper living conditions, the Working Group found the Iraqi government to be in breach of its international legal obligations underscoring, "The conditions in Camp Liberty are synonymous with those in a detention center, as residents have no freedom of movement, nor interaction with the outside world, nor do they have freedom of movement and the semblance of a free life within the camp. The situation of the residents of Camp Liberty is tantamount to that of detainees or prisoners."
Camp Liberty designed to break PMOI's members
Many of the observers are unanimous in that Camp Liberty is far from meeting international humanitarian standards; in fact, taking in to account the siege imposed on camp Liberty, logistically and medically, this location is literally a designed and organized prison. The objective of the entire relocation-plot was to break down the members of PMOI. The NCRI unveiled a document by the date of February 21, 2012, from inside the Iranian regime exposing al-Maliki's commitments to the Iranian regime about Ashraf residents. NCRI announced that the mentioned document is ready to be offered to international courts for investigation against al-Maliki. In pertinent part of the document, it says, "relocation of PMOI members to Liberty under direct supervision of Iraqi forces will paralyze this organization. It is not important for the Iraqi government how long they stay at Liberty; the only issue cares us is that they will no longer be able to do anything. At Liberty, the residents are walking dead."

Reviewed by: Cheryl LaGuardia, Research Librarian, Widener Library, Harvard University
When it launched four years ago, AntiTrafficking Review was the first specialist journal on human trafficking to be found in the literature. Now it is a first-rate journal examining issues of human rights violations and migrant rights. The editorial board reads like a "Who's Who" in the world of anti-traffiking, migration, anti-slavery studies, and other human rights studies.
The journal's Focus and Scope section states that they "welcome submissions from a diverse range of actors, including academics, practitioners, trafficked persons and advocates. The Anti-Trafficking Review particularly welcomes contributions from practitioners and those with direct experiences and insights to share…. [It is] aimed at a wide readership. It therefore encourages submissions that are in clear, jargon-free English with appropriate but not excessive citation." This does makes a difference in the readability of the journal: not only is it freely-accessible in terms of no-fee access, but the material is presented in such a way as to be readable and readily understandable to scholars and laypersons, alike.
The current issue as of this review is Number 6, 2016, guest edited by Anne T. Gallagher. Ms. Gallagher is "a legal practitioner, adviser and independent scholar specialising in criminal justice, human trafficking and migrant smuggling. She is currently an adviser to United Nations, ASEAN and the Australia-Asia Trafficking in Persons Program. Her other roles include Co-Chair of the International Bar Association's Presidential Task Force on Trafficking; member of IOM's Migration Advisory Board; and Academic Adviser at Doughty St Chambers in London." In other words, an expert in anti-trafficking. The theme of this special issue is Prosecuting Human Trafficking, and Ms. Gallagher's introductory essay, "The Problems and Prospects of Trafficking Prosecutions: Ending impunity and securing justice" outlines the issues tackled in Volume 6. Other articles in the issue include: "Two Birds with One Stone? Implications of conditional assistance in victim protection and prosecution of traffickers," "Transaction Costs: Prosecuting child trafficking for illegal adoption in Russia," "The Prosecution of State-Level Human Trafficking Cases in the United States," "Trafficking of Women for Sexual Exploitation in Europe: Prosecution, trials and their impact," "The Prominent Role of National Judges in Interpreting the International Definition of Human Trafficking," "Investments in Human Trafficking Prosecutions are Indispensable," "Prioritising Prosecutions is the Wrong Approach," "The Importance of Strategic, Victim-Centred Human Trafficking Prosecutions," "Resisting the Carceral: The need to align anti-trafficking efforts with movements for criminal justice reform," "Not All Prosecutions are Created Equal: Less counting prosecutions, more making prosecutions count," "Villains and Victims, but No Workers: Why a prosecution-focussed approach to human trafficking fails trafficked persons," Innocent Traffickers, Guilty Victims: The case for prosecuting so-called 'bottom girls' in the United States," "Human Rights and Economic Opportunity Will End Trafficking," and "Palermo's Promise: Victims' rights and human trafficking." A number of these articles are responses to this ATR Debate Proposition: 'Prosecuting trafficking deflects attention from much more important responses and is anyway a waste of time an money." Geographic areas reported on in these articles include Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Serbia, the Netherlands., Russia, the United States, and other countries. Authors here include academics, government officials, administrators and practitioners associated with global NGO's, attorneys from around the world, and other stakeholders and advocates against human trafficking.
This scholarly yet practice-based, open access journal compares very favorably to Routledge's Journal of Human Trafficking, and, of course – it's free (with no APCs), as compared to a price tag of $447.00 for the Routledge title. AntiTrafficking Review is a title of which you should make your human rights researchers aware. It is indexed in a number of ProQuest resources, including ProQuest Criminal Justice.

It's a Wonderful Life at the Orlando Shakespeare Theater.
Frank Capra's iconic holiday film,"It's a Wonderful Life" was adapted for the stage by Joe Landry. The theater lobby was abuzz with activity when we arrived at the theater. A newspaper boy was hawking his papers, then a man in uniform wandered through the crowd announcing that there was a telegraph for Al, then two girls in uniform offered popcorn. The time and place were the sound stage at WOST radio in NYC in 1946. The stars of the radio play were announced and screaming teens rushed them for autographs.
After George Bailey (Duke Lafoon) wishes he had never been born, an angel (Brandon Roberts) is sent to earth to make George's wish come true. George starts to realize how many lives he has changed and impacted, and how they would be different if he was never there. George dreamed big and wanted to escape from the small town of Bedford Falls. On graduation night in 1928, George talks to Mary Hatch, (Sarah French) who has had a crush on him from an early age. They are interrupted by news of his father's death. George postpones his travel plans in order to sort out the family business, the Bailey Brothers' Building and Loan.
Georges future looks bleak when his absent minded uncle looses $8000 which he was supposed to deposit at the bank. Today that amount would be equal to $100,000. When George contemplated suicide, he was saved by his guardian angel. Most actors play several parts in the radio play so in some ways it is better not to see the actors since it can get confusing as to which part they might be playing at any given time. Since I was sketching, I experienced the play by listening as I sketched. I didn't catch all the actors on stage, but focused on George and Mary as they fell in love.
The story is a Christmas classic and it was very fun to step back in time to become part of a 1940s radio studio audience. The applause sign triggered just the right amount of applause when needed. I wish I had been closer to the sound technician who slammed doors and walked shoes in the sand to recreate the sound of walking in fresh snow.
If you need a heart warming classic to get you in the mood for the holidays, then "It's a Wonderful Life" is your ticket.

At the Chipping Norton Literary Festival last spring I attended an interesting session. It was a panel discussion of several romance authors debating the question of who was the greatest romantic hero in English literature. The candidates, each with an assigned defender were Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre, Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights, and Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. Well, it's no secret that my money was on Mr. Darcy, after all, I was just getting ready to edit my novel First Impressions in which Jane Austen appears as a major character, but I was fully prepared to enjoy the debate.
The presenters first made their individual cases (and I have to say, being reminded of the details of Heathcliff and Mr. Rochester—both of whom can be seen a pretty creepy at times) I was feeling confident about Darcy. But what followed when the conversation was thrown open to the audience shocked me. Such a barrage of Darcy bashing has probably never been seen in Chipping Norton—a market town whose history goes back far beyond the time of Jane Austen. He was judged by the audience, I felt, exactly as he is judged by the characters in the book—by their first impressions. It is true that when we first meet Darcy he seems pretty unpleasant, and all we learn of him for chapter after chapter is colored by our (and the characters') first impressions of him. It's easy to see why Jane Austen originally called the book First Impressions, and the discussion in Chipping Norton confirmed, at least, that I had picked well in deciding to use that same title for my novel about Jane Austen and the writing of Pride and Prejudice.
But all these people had read the whole book. They were not trapped at Longbourn or Merryton in the early chapters. They had been to Pemberley. They had found out what Darcy was really like. But boy, they still had some axes to grind. True, unkind words were said about Mr. Rochester and Heathcliff, but the majority of the open conversatiuon focused on Darcy (so much so that the presenters had to guide the audience into stiller waters at times) and most of what was said about Darcy was negative. One got the distinct impressions that the genius of Jane Austen's creation of Darcy is that he possessed the same character traits as the ex-boyfriends of the female population of Chipping Norton 200 years later.
So, I was nervous when it came time to vote. Clearly the wise money would not be on Darcy. Hands went up for Heathcliff and were counted. Hands went up for Mr. Rochester and were counted. It looked like a close race. Then came time for the Darcy vote and I meekly raised my hand, expecting to be one of just a few. But, to my amazement, Darcy was the clear winner. It was a fun session, but I left with this question—why do people harbor so much resentment towards Darcy yet at the same time see him as a great romantic hero? Is it a commentary on Jane Austen or on modern relationships or both or neither. And if I ask you—who is the greatest romantic hero in English literature?

NEWS UPDATE - BAD WOLVES Sign With ELEVEN SEVEN MUSIC
Bad Wolves, the band managed by Zoltan Bathory of Five Finger Death Punch, have just signed with Eleven Seven Music, one of rock music's most iconic labels. To mark that event the band have released the track "Toast To The Ghost", the first song to be revealed from their debut album due next year.

Press Release via Eleven Seven Music –
On 2nd November the track "Toast To The Ghost" was previewed exclusively via Sirius XM Radio's "Liquid Metal". The track is the first song revealed off the band's debut album, slated for Spring 2018 on Eleven Seven Music. The track provides a taste of what's in store for fans on the forthcoming collection: bold, metal-infused anthemic hard-rock.
"We're already fans of the band so it's fantastic to welcome Bad Wolves to the Eleven Seven label family," says Eleven Seven Label Group COO Steve Kline.
Consisting of of vocalist Tommy Vext (ex-Divine Heresy), drummer John Boecklin (ex-DevilDriver), guitarist Doc Coyle (Vagus Nerve, ex-God Forbid), guitarist Chris Cain (Bury Your Dead), and bassist Kyle Konkiel (ex-In This Moment), Bad Wolves burst onto the scene earlier this year with the self-released debut single "Learn To Live" and quickly became ones-to-watch.
The Los Angeles-based five-piece is now gearing up for an even bigger 2018 with new music, a new label, and new management.
"From a creative standpoint we were very fortunate to garnish the support of not only a friend we trusted as a manager but also respected as an artist and entrepreneur," explains the band of the decision to work with Bathory's Management Company. "Zoltan's outside the box thinking and unique perspective helped broadened the vision of what we hope to accomplish as a band".
"I knew these guys for many years from their previous bands so I knew they were all exceptional musicians, but when they formed "Bad Wolves" and played me the first few songs I thought …Okay... there is fire here, this one has the magical combination. Hard work and persistence always outstrip talent, and these guys have both," adds Bathory.

There's going to be a couple of big games in the 2018 NA Spring Split this week. Owing to the volatile nature of the split so far, this also means that there are quite a couple of opportunities to win big as well.
Take a look at our analysis below as we break down the games that we think that will give you the best chances of making bank in Week 7 of the 2018 NA Spring Split.
2018 NA Spring Split Week 7 Day 2
TL vs. 100 Thieves 1.50 vs. 2.40 (23:00 GMT+1)
The bookies have favoured Team Liquid all season, and they have looked pretty strong. However, 100 Thieves certainly haven't been walkovers, and this game will likely be a lot closer than the odds above show. In fact, 100 Thieves are equal with TL, so to have such massive odds in favour of Team Liquid seems very strange indeed. You'd expect the odds in such a close run affair to show exactly that, but they really don't.
Whichever team gets a stronger start will likely win the game, which is why the bookies prefer TL. Xmithie has been a dominant jungler over the last few splits, but Meteos has a lot of experience.Meanwhile, the bottom, top and mid are all evenly matched, which should make this one to hell of a match to follow to say the least.
TSM vs. FlyQuest 1.45 vs. 2.55 (00:00 GMT+1)
It seems as if we've been picking on TSM over the last few weeks of the 2018 NA Spring Split, but that's simply because they're incredibly inconsistent. Or at least they were. They've been playing a lot better recently, but that doesn't mean that they might not still flop again this week.
FlyQuest are battling for a play-off space, and beating TSM would be one way to do it. This is definitely a risky one, but there is a chance that FlyQuest might cause on upset here. Their wacky play-style has caught some teams off guard this split so far, and some teams simply cannot deal with them.
Golden Guardians vs. Echo Fox 4.75 vs. 1.15 (02:00 GMT+1)
This one is for all those who love the underdog stories. Echo Fox have been almost completely dominant throughout this split, whereas Golden Guardians have flopped all over the place like a salmon out of water. However, they have sometimes looked like team worthy of the NA LCS, and their talent pool is undeniable.
Echo Fox do have a history of underestimating some of the worse teams and threw a massive lead against Optic (although they still won the game). That is why this game is featured here, because Echo Fox may well think the game is over before the fat lady sings.
If that is the case, expect Golden Guardians to claw at their lead desperately, and try to overturn any deficit. It probably won't happen, but Golden Guardians are in with a shot at an upset.
2018 NA Spring Split Week 7 Day 2
100 Thieves vs. TSM 2.30 vs. 1.55 (23:00 GMT+1)
Here again are TSM, but for one very specific reason: bot lane. You can almost guarantee that Aphromoo is cooking up something spicy in the bot lane, and he will partner up with the rest of his team to give Zven and Mithy an all American regal welcome. You've heard about frat parties, but that's nothing compared to the party expected in the bot lane this game.
100 Thieves are an intelligent team, and they will likely plan some crazy shenanigans early on to throw the Europeans off their game. However, Bjergsen, Hauntzer and MikeYeung will be on duty to help their bot lane out. Should TSM fall behind enough in the bot lane, 100 Thieves could easily run away with the game.
Expect Bjergsen to pick Galio, if he's not banned, as this is one way to help out his bot.
Click here to check out what happened in Week 6 of the 2018 NA Spring Split.
Which of our picks do you think are likely to go right in Week 7 of the 2018 NA Spring Split? Do you think we'll see more than a few upsets happen this weekend? Be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments down below.

If you are a Team Mom, then Congratulations! You have a very important role. It is fun and rewarding. You will find yourself a coach's assistant, administrative assistant, fellow coach, parent liaison, and have a fun connection with the boys. It has been a very rewarding experience for me, one that I love doing because it is helping our teams do something so very special. You can really help make baseball a very good experience for these boys. This is my 12th season doing this with my husband, the head coach, and with our son who is passionate about baseball. I am happy to help you along this journey….
This is how it has worked for us.
First, I get a copy of our players, parent phone numbers, and email addresses. If you are married to your head coach, this information should come easy to you. If you are not married to your head coach and/or working with someone else, then please make sure you get this information. In our situation, we get our roster and parent information and our practices start almost immediately. So my hubby/coach has to call the families pretty quickly so they know what day to show up for practice. Usually there is a team meeting the night of the first practice (or whenever your coach chooses) … so please make sure to attend so you meet the parents and say hello.
After the coach's first introduction, either by call, email, or parent meeting, I usually send everyone an email further introducing myself. Please include your cell phone number in every email in case parents need to contact you.
In your introductory email, you want to pack in as much information as possible. The questions that every parent has is,
- When is the game schedule coming out?
- When do we bring snacks and drinks for our team?
I will answer these questions… usually in our case, the game schedule doesn't come out for another week or so, and I will assure them I will get it to them as soon as it comes out. Then, at that time I will coordinate post-game snacks and drinks.
- Ask if anyone has any food allergies
- ask that the Medical Release Form be filled out and turned back in to you (if applicable)
- Ask for their cell phone number
We have started to ask for our parent's cell phone numbers for a texting list. Parents really appreciate this. This is great to communicate those last minute cancellations or field changes that needed to be communicated immediately. Especially when you are on a travel team or moving around from one location to another, it is important to have that direct line of communication. Texting is even more efficient than email. There are team communication apps to assist with this now but require a sign up or install, and cost. If parents have to sign up, register their number, or install an app, we have found, you only get half of them. You'll have to text or email out the important message anyway.
Also in your introductory email, include information about screen printing names and numbers on the back of the jerseys. (if it applies to you-see below)
In Recreational baseball: At the first practice, it is important to get every player's desired number for the back of the jersey. In some situations we have been given jerseys with numbers 1-12 to pass out, in other cases the boys can choose any number they want. It is important to research the t-shirt screen printing places in your area. We had some that charge as high as $7.50 to screen print a name (numbers were already on) on the back of the jersey but can have it done in 48 hours. Then, we have some that will take as long as two and a half weeks. I am not happy with the high cost and it definitely should not take 2½ weeks. Even the store owner was mortified at this time frame and gave us the screen printing cost for free. The perfect situation is to find someone that can do it for around $5 and can do it very quickly. A few days seems acceptable but the trick is to get started early so you'll have time to get your jersey back before the first game. Remember there are several other teams turning their shirts to be screen printed also.
We are now on a 'Select' Baseball team at our park, so they are handling uniforms and screen printing. Just this morning, I just got an email saying that we all have to pay a small fee for the cost of putting names and numbers on jerseys, and monogramming numbers on hats. The cost? $10. And so it goes…
Some leagues require a medical release form to be filled out by each parent with a doctor's contact information, parent info, and date of last tetanus booster in case of an emergency. Parents can return these to you at practice or email these to you for their convenience (and you can print them out). It is necessary to make sure you get one from every parent. I usually keep a notebook with these forms, game schedule, and snack/drink schedule in a small notebook and in my bag. That way I'm always prepared if anyone has a question.
Our league also asks each family on our teams to provide snacks and drinks for after one of the games in the season. I always ALWAYS let my parents sign up for whatever game works for them because if they know the time that they will be out of town or will not be able to attend games, it take the stress out of not having to worry about switching around with another family for snack. This is just my personal preference. I do not like being signed up for something and then it falling on a weekend if I can't be there. It happens every time. Then it's just one more thing to have to worry about. Usually, all my families will respond to sign up within the day. I do have a couple of parents that will say, "just sign me up wherever" so I will just put them in the missing weeks. I like to give them the option to sign up for what works for them. I feel it is more respectful of their time.
If a parent does not sign up for snack, I'll ask them if they can take a particular game. They will always say yes. I have found that parents are happy to help. If you are nice, they'll be nice, too. I assure them that I will send them an email reminder 1-2 days prior to their scheduled game. I found they are thankful for this, too.
I feel that coaching or being a team mom is an outreach to our community. It is an opportunity to touch lives. You never really know what kind of home that these kids are coming from. Some don't have good situations at home, even if you live in a nice area. Some have parents dealing with divorce, or illness, or a disability. Some have hardships beyond our comprehension. Some have never played baseball before and are scared to death. Some don't have dads at home to work with them or to simply play catch. Baseball could be the very thing that lets them escape from all of that. It is our job to give them a few hours a week of positive, uplifting, confidence building, team building fun. It is important to build a good, long lasting baseball experience that they will remember forever.
Let's Play Ball!

Get More Site Traffic With These Easy-To-Follow SEO Tips
You have set up a fine website for your business. You are ready for customers. But the traffic is sparse. How do you bring customers to your site? The answer lies in SEO, or https://www.rankno1.co.uk/seo.html. The following tips by the one of the leading Rank No.1 uk, can help you begin drawing the attention of search engines and hence, the customers that you need for your business.
When optimizing your site for keyword phrases, rather than single words, pay attention to keyword proximity. It is best if your keywords appear together, rather than being separated by other terms. This method increases the weight given to searches for that phrase, without detracting from searches for the individual terms.
Increase your website traffic and the revenue from your site by ensuring it has no broken links or pages. Broken links prevent customers from navigating your site. Broken pages are even worse, since then the content is just missing. Broken content can't be indexed by search engines either, which is also poor marketing.
Even saved images and video files on your server can present an opportunity to increase in the rankings, so be sure that you're always saving files with keywords. For example: If you have an image on your site dealing with weight loss, like a before-and-after photo, make sure you include a relevant keyword in the title when you save the image.
Treating your https://www.rankno1.co.uk/seo/london.html efforts like homework is a great way to achieve in the highly competitive field of web business. This means you should be approaching the trafficking of your site like the completion of a term paper. You need to do your research, build a synopsis, bullet the important points, and run down the business checklist to refine the process.
One of the most important aspects of is simply staying dedicated to the process. You must be vigilant in keeping up to date with new tactics as search engines are known to change their tactics regularly. Also, if you don't regularly modify your site, it will become stagnant and drop in the rankings.
Tag appropriately. No one likes to type something in to google and get search results that have nothing to do with what they are wanting or needing. It wastes their time and make them angry. Make sure your site only pops up to people who are looking for it by using appropriate tags, not ones that you think will get you higher in search results.
To ensure that your website is as easy as possible to crawl, keep your site architecture flat. Don't use too many sub folders, instead use descriptive names for each page. Keep your pages with the most competitive keywords in their names, close to the root folder, so they will gain a higher page rank.
The relationship of your website to search engines is one of utmost importance. We trust that these tips will help to guide you towards making the search engines work for you. Search engines may be a bit mysterious, but they are essential to any web-based business. Learn search engine optimization and let these "spiders" be your friend and they will help your business to succeed.

Commissioned by The Committee for Sydney and authored by KPMG, the Scaling the Fintech Opportunity: for Sydney and Australia report examines achievements that have been made since 2014 and identifies areas that need to be addressed to enable Sydney (and Australia) to become a strong and prosperous fintech ecosystem.
This follow-up report to Unlocking the Potential: The Fintech opportunity for Sydney, published October 2014, has been developed to determine whether digital and fintech innovations have been successfully adopted in the Australian financial services industry, to identify any impediments to further industry progress and provide recommendations for both the public and private sectors to improve Australia's standing in a global and regional context.
The report finds that the number of fintech startups in Australia has increased from less than 100 in 2014 to 579 companies today, with around 60 percent of all fintech companies basing themselves in Sydney.
The range of sectors has also diversified substantially, with 10 fintech categories having more than 20 fintechs operating locally. The two largest sectors by number of fintech companies and capital investment are payments (128 companies) and lending (80 companies), with substantial growth in both categories. Wealthtech (78 companies) ranks third highest for number of companies and has also continued to grow, reflecting the sophisticated state of our financial services industry.
Australian fintech investment has remained strong with $US675 million invested in the fintech sector in 2016 compared to $US53 million in 2012. This is despite an overall global decline in investment in the fintech sector.
However, the report finds that the Australian sector faces threats from international tech giants and disruptive startups entering financial services. Also, regulatory challenges continue to stifle innovation and have the potential to create uneven playing fields for incumbents, startups and tech giants alike.
The report outlines 10 core recommendations to further enhance and scale the Australian fintech ecosystem for both private and public sector.
Getting this right has the potential to contribute to the development of other adjacent sectors. Fintech could play a key role in enabling smart city outcomes; for example, payments has the potential to influence and shape citizen behaviour around transport by creating differentiated transport pricing and rewarding outcomes that reduce congestion.
Scaling the Fintech opportunity for Sydney and Australia is not simply about the development of the financial services industry. It also has the potential to develop infrastructure that can support the delivery of economic and societal benefits more efficiently and effectively; today and into the future.

What are the Benefits of a Biomass Based Heating System
Economics:Agricultural waste (straw) and forest waste (slash, and urban wood waste) is the cheapest available form of energy. The only cost of this energy is the cost of converting it into a useable format and transporting it to the utilization site.
With the growing concern over the long term availability of fossil fuel, there is increasing interest in growing energy crops. Although such crops show promise, such a energy source will never be as cheap as biomass waste.
The counterpoint to this is that the construction of furnaces utilizing natural gas is relatively easy, and hence such furnaces are relatively cheap. Biomass furnaces are significantly more complex and hence significantly more expensive.
Renewability:With proper management the biomass resource base can be sustained indefinitely.
Environmental Benefits:Biomass combustion is CO2 neutral. When biomass is burned in a furnace, it releases CO2. This is inherent to combustion. However this same CO2 would be released whether that biomass were burned in an uncontrolled way, or if it decays naturally. If fact the natural decay of biomass will result in more release of methane into the air than will be released if the same biomass were burned in a well designed furnace. Methane gas is a stronger greenhouse gas than CO2. Most bio-fuels have a negligible sulphur content. A well designed furnace will not generate smoke.
Fuel Price Stability:Bio-fuels are widely available. In most parts of North America there is a supply of available biomass materials, either forest or agriculture-based.
Bio-fuel prices are relatively stable and locally controlled. Prices have remained steady over the years in spite of wide fluctuations in fossil fuel prices, and are expected to increase more slowly than those of petroleum-based fuels.
Local Economic Benefits:Bio-fuel dollars remain in the local economy. Biomass fuels are generated locally. Their collection, preparation and delivery involves significant local labor input, whereas whatever benefits there are in fossil fuel distribution, they are not in the local community. The economic impact of biomass utilization activity means dollars remain in the local area, creating filter-down economic activity as well as improving the local tax base and building tax revenues.
Heating Comfort:A well designed biomass systems provides high comfort levels. Because biofuels can be inexpensive, system operators are able to justify increased building temperatures leading to greater comfort and productivity. With high-priced fossil fuels, there is greater pressure to lower temperatures for fuel cost savings.
Commercially Proven and Flexible: Biomass combustion technologies are commercially proven throughout North America, having already achieved significant market penetration in residential and large industrial applications.
Well designed biomass combustion systems are highly flexible. Solid-fuel systems can be easily converted to burn almost any conceivable fuel (solid, liquid or gaseous), thus providing the user with great flexibility in the future.

Imperialism of Propaganda
What is the relationship between an advertisement for a toaster and the viral Kony 2012 video? The answer is simple: propaganda. The institutions which emerged in the United States over the 20th century sought to create a "uniquely democratic propaganda," not directed and managed exclusively by the state, but from within the so-called "free enterprise" system of corporations: PR agencies, advertising agencies, marketing firms, and news agencies. The state had a role to play, of course, in setting the general direction of policy and discourse, but the task of propaganda itself was largely left to the institutions of private power, jealously protecting their ill-gotten gains

Do you ever find yourself having to make a recipe as soon as you see it? I was reading Gooseberry Patch 101 Easy Entertaining Recipes and had to make these Super Easy Marinated Olives as soon as I read the recipe. Thankfully I had everything the recipe called for in the house. These Marinated Olives are so dang easy to make! I had them ready to go and in the fridge marinating within a few minutes.
John came home and started snacking on them as soon as he found them in the fridge. Thankfully I had already taken a couple of pictures so I could share them on the blog. He has been sneaking them out of the fridge every chance he gets. He added them to a sandwich and said they were a great addition.
These Marinated Olives would make a great holiday gift! They would look great in a sealed jar with a couple of wooden spoons or serving forks attached to the jar. I may have to make some of these up for our foodie friends that I know would love them.
Super Easy Marinated Olives!
2 6oz cans whole black olives, drained
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1/2 tsp salt
1. Combine all ingredients and mix well in a covered dish.
2. Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving
These can be refrigerated for up to a month if they last that long. 🙂

Since the summertime months are the most active times for the termite population, across the country, the importance of knowing what to do when and if you happen to locate a mud tube or a two-by-four eaten up by termites, is a good thing to know. With the economy, the way it is today here in the United States it makes good economic sense to learn a thing or two about the termite population.
Taking a Walk in Yard
At Briggs & Stratton Parts, we normally discuss small engine repair and Briggs engines. That is what we do and that is the reason that we speak so often of theses magnificent engines. Today we are going to deviate from that normal course and take a trip out to the yard to look for termite troubles. While the turf is not the first place that you think of when you think of termites but this is where most termite issues start and are controlled by termiticides and baited pieces of wood.
Termite Hunting in Turf
As you mow the lawn or weed trim the garden or fence line, look for pieces of wood that have obvious wood destroying organism activity. The time that you spend doing this will pay off if you get an early jump on the termite colony long before it makes its way to you wood-laden house.

The Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) and the China Animal Agricultural Association (CAAA) are set to establish a cooperative relationship that will officially recognize CFA's activities in China and will bring of level of authority to CFA with the People's Republic of China. CAAA, which is largely responsible for China's animal husbandry industry, is formally recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China, and is the entity that will oversee the relationship.
"This new relationship with this nationally-recognized Chinese industry association elevates the status of CFA as the largest pedigree registry in China and the world. We will be able to serve the cat fancy in China with unprecedented products like DNA testing and secure registration, while creating a business model that we can use to grow CFA's presence in the other parts of the world," Mark Hannon, President of CFA, said.
The relationship, with final details still being discussed, forges a mutually-beneficial arrangement between the two organizations. CFA benefits by being officially recognized by the Chinese Government, which is in a better position to monitor and enforce legitimate registrations of pedigreed cats. It is anticipated that a sub-organization within CAAA will facilitate CFA's registrations in China. This cooperation will promote CFA registration in China.
Wu Wang, who is serving as liaison to CAAA for CFA said, "The pedigreed cat population is growing substantially in China and we feel it is imperative that we be involved with the cat exhibitions and registrations. Our involvement will help assure that people buying cats from breeders and others are receiving exactly what they expected and paid for." He added that the Ministry of Agriculture's involvement protects consumers, cat fanciers, and the pet industry.
The Cat Fanciers' Association is a non-profit organization founded in 1906 and headquartered in Alliance, Ohio, USA and is the world's largest registry of pedigreed cats. CFA's mission calls for the promotion and improvement of pedigree cats, the welfare of all cats, and the registration of breeds recognized by CFA. The organization has a presence in more than 50 countries around the world, through cat show competitions and registration of pedigreed cats.
The Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China and its affiliate, China Animal Agricultural Association are located in Beijing, China. Together organizations support the development of agriculture and the science of animal husbandry.

In case you didn't know, Nashville is pretty much the best show on television right now. (For people like me (and most tweens) who don't like political drama, violence, or scandals—although I suppose Nashville has all of the above.) If you're not caught up, stop right here! Spoiler alerts ahead!
Juliette and Sean have eloped—and his mama is pisssssed. Sean's mom insisted that they throw together "a big church wedding" in a matter of days, right before Juliette and Rayna head off on tour. But it looks like the wedding doesn't go down, right? I'm assuming that plane Juliette's about to get on is NOT headed to the church. Which begs the question, WHERE IS SHE GOING? And why did she leave Sean's grandmother's cameo in the back of the car? And if she's asking Sean to sign divorce papers, whose serving her? And for what?
Are you guys watching Nashville? What is going ON with these people? Also, did we already know that Deacon (I assume) is Maddie's father? And is Maddie the older daughter or the younger one? Also, how cheesy will I be if I download "Wrong Song"?
