Hostess Brands, which makes Twinkies, Wonder Bread and Ding Dongs, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New York on Wednesday.
Hostess, previously called Interstate Bakeries Corporation, operates 36 regional bakeries, including one at 11th and Sheridan in Tulsa.
It also has 565 distribution centers, approximately 5,500 delivery routes and 570 bakery outlet stores throughout the U.S.
In court documents, Hostess says the reason is labor costs.
Hostess says it plans to continue to negotiate with 12 unions to modify collective-bargaining agreements governing the employment of its union workers, who comprise 83% of its approximately 19,000 employees.
If no agreement is reached, Hostess says it will seek to throw out those agreements.
There is no word in the bankruptcy filing on whether any of its bakeries or distribution centers would be closed.

SKYCTC Alumni Spotlight - Latasha Bunton
Latasha Bunton is a 2018 graduate of the SKYCTC Associate in Arts program, studying Human Resources, and she also served as a Student Ambassador while attending SKYCTC. She then transferred to Western Kentucky University and completed her Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Resource Management. Latasha is currently employed as a Human Resource Coordinator with Berry Global, Inc. She is also a member of the SKYCTC Alumni Advisory Board.
Why did you choose to attend SKYCTC:
"Flexibility. It was affordable, smaller classes."
Who influenced you most during your time at SKYCTC (Faculty/Staff)?
"The Barrons (Kristine and Kyle). Mrs. Barron, at the time, was my Business Professor who was very encouraging and convinced me I had a lot more to offer the college. She advised me of the opportunity to be a Student Ambassador. Kyle (Mr. Barron) was over that program. I interviewed for the position and received it. It was all up from there."
What advice do you have for current students wanting to make the most of their experience at SKYCTC?
"Wow. Great question! I always offer the advice to get involved! It's the best thing I ever did for myself. Sometimes it takes getting a little uncomfortable to figure out what you love and what you're capable of."
Describe your career path and explain how your education at SKYCTC helped prepare you for what you are doing today.
"After graduating from SKYCTC, I went directly to WKU to finish a bachelor's degree. I worked for SKYCTC until I got an internship with Bendix Spicer. I did the recruiting there until I was laid off January 2020, due to a hiring pause. Finished and graduated from WKU May 2020, started working for Insights Training Group as an Admissions Counselor where I recruited students for Job Corps. This was an awesome opportunity. It was tough due to the time, but my skills working as a Student Ambassador as well as a recruiter with Bendix really helped me. I was confident in my position. I then began to work for the KY Labor Cabinet as a Workforce Development Facilitator where I assisted the public with unemployment insurance. Shortly thereafter, I landed a position with Berry Global as the Human Resource Coordinator. I love my position here. Although my journey wasn't perfect, I learned so much on the way and met many people. My biggest take away from my training at SKYCTC is, networking is key. The many people I've met on the way has helped me in my career, and I am so appreciative."
What advice would you give current students interested in pursuing a career in your professional field?
"Network! Job shadow! Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Things get tough. It's going to be ok, push through anyhow because you're worth it."

Press Release from Friends of the Earth
Posted by Kate Colwell
WASHINGTON, D.C. — On June 6th, in the largest display of opposition to the environmental impacts of two pending trade deals, more than 450 groups called on members of Congress to commit to vote against the toxic Trans-Pacific Partnership and to demand changes to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.
"We strongly urge you to stand up for healthy communities, clean air and water, Indigenous peoples, property rights, and a stable climate by committing to vote no on the TPP and asking the U.S. Trade Representative to remove from TTIP any provision that empowers corporations to challenge government policies in extrajudicial tribunals,†said the letter sent to Congress today from groups including the Sierra Club, Indigenous Environmental Network, Bold Alliance, SustainUS, and Friends of the Earth.
According to a recent Sierra Club report, the TPP and TTIP would empower an unprecedented number of fossil fuel corporations, including some of the world's largest polluters, to challenge U.S. policies in tribunals not accountable to any domestic legal system. TransCanada recently announced its plans to use similar rules in NAFTA to sue the U.S. government for $15 billion over the rejection of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. This "investor-state dispute settlement†system has also been used to challenge fracking moratoria, nuclear energy phaseouts, and other protections on our water, air, and climate.
With One Voice
"Environmentalists across the country working to keep fossil fuels in the ground agree that toxic trade deals pose severe risks to the policies we depend on for clean air, clean water, and healthy communities,†said Ilana Solomon, director of the Sierra Club's Responsible Trade Program. "Anyone who cares about clean air, clean water, or climate action should reject trade deals that let big polluters challenge these protections in private trade tribunals.â€
"Science tells us that we need to keep well over 80 percent of the world's fossil fuels in the ground,†said Ben Schreiber, climate and energy program director at Friends of the Earth. "No one can be a climate champion and support trade deals like the Trans Pacific Partnership, which provides polluters with a new corporate bill of rights and impedes our ability to keep fossil fuels in the ground.â€
"Property rights are under constant threat by big corporations,†said Jane Kleeb, Bold Alliance president. "The TPP will create a scenario for landowners where they are at the mercy of Big Oil and Big Gas to do whatever they want with our land and water using secret courts and backroom deals. Americans deserve land security and it starts with saying no to the TPP handout to big corporations.â€
"The TPP would let foreign oil and gas companies undermine the will of hundreds of communities that have worked tirelessly to protect themselves from the environmental and public health hazards associated with fracking,†said Food & Water Watch Executive Director Wenonah Hauter. "These trade deals give the worst climate scofflaws new and powerful weapons to wield against the broad-based grassroots movement to stop fracking and fight for a clean energy future.â€
"The TPP would severely threaten the ability for Indigenous peoples on both sides of the Pacific to self-determine the future of their nations and citizens' lives," said Dallas Goldtooth, national campaign organizer for the Indigenous Environmental Network. "This trade deal offers nothing but the continuation of extraction and colonialism and utterly disregards Indigenous Peoples rights to free, prior and informed consent."
"These trade deals directly undermine the goal set in Paris of rapid decarbonization to stay below 1.5 degrees C,†said Arielle Clynes, SustainUS trade fellow. "Congress should reject the TPP and support a new trade agenda that ensures a stable climate, thriving communities, and a just transition to 100% renewable energy."
The TPP, while facing extreme and increasing opposition by Presidential candidates and the public, could come to a vote in Congress this year. U.S. and EU officials are still negotiating the terms of TTIP, but public opposition to the pact is mounting.Φ
Friends of the Earth fights to create a more healthy and just world. Our current campaigns focus on promoting clean energy and solutions to climate change, ensuring the food we eat and products we use are safe and sustainable, and protecting marine ecosystems and the people who live and work near them.

Pointlni' to a letter which nho had just received, the Countess of Boledov or said to net "eldest eon : 'This Irom Mrs. Browncsmith, of Baltimore, close ly erfneerns you, Went worth.'1 "llow, pray I inquired Jjord Wor- riddn. "6ho asks mo to prcsont'atoneof tho next Drawing-rooms a Miss Sohwein lolil, daughtor of Senator Schwomgold, a Jtilcarro millionaire. tho dim is oomina over hero to join her father in tho Sonlh of Franco, and they aro very anxious to have her presented at our court, in order to give her an cntreo at various Continental capitals which she is about to -visit with her fattier. I don't know tho naino of Sohwcingold myself, but Mrs. Browncsmith tells mo that the daughter will havo a fortuno of $2,000,00(3, and assures me that eio is an amiable and ladyliko girl and tbat'shn is considered very beautiful over there. If I undertake to chaper on hur eho will, of course, stay with us, as Mrs. Brownesmith tells me that she has no friends at present in London. Now;, perhaps, yon see your intcrost iu tho matter." Lord Worridoti understood his moth er well onough. Hp, however, remain ed silent, thinking how his debts were at that moment in course of settlement by tho Earl of Boledover for the third timo within seven j oars : wondering how ho was Boine to live for the future on tho terms to which ho had recently bound himself; and speculating on the possibility of matrimony being a toler able sta'o of existence when vweetened by the consolations of $2,000,000. You will bear m mind, wont- worth,'' pursued his mother, "that you havo now exhausted your father d means as well as his patience, and also that you aro 32 years of age, and con sequently, if you over intend to marry, can not put it off much longer.1' 1 know all Hint, mother, lint 1 don't soo bow 'you can expect mo to undertake to marrv a nirl 1 havo never seen, and nevejr heard of till two min utes ago.

J.ord Worridoti stuck Bis hands deep into his poskets and walked to the win dow, absorbed in thought. "Two million dollars is a big sum,' he muttered. "It i, Wentwortb. There1 aro few men. in London iu your position who would bo so fo.jlish as to think twice about accepting such a chance.'' "Well," said Lord Worriddn, after a few minutes' silence, "I will do my best. If the Yank does not turn oat to bo a downright repulsive specimen of Jier sex, she shall becotno your daught' r in-law, provided sho herself has no objection. ' Overjoyed at this declaration, Lady Boledover sat down, without loss of time, and penned tho following roply to her American lriend : Dear Mrs. Brownesmith : You do me great honor iu giving me an op portunity of tciving Miss Sohweingold, of whom l had heard the most Halter ing reports before your letter informed me that sho was a friend of yours. I enclose part'culars of tho Drawing rooms available, and if MUs Sohwein gold will let mo know which dato sho selects I will ruako tho necessary ar rangements. It would be well that her dress should be ordered without delay, and I think that sho can not do better than to go to Madame Claribel, of whom I and you also, if I remember rightly havo always had tho most satisfactory experience. Should Miss Schweingold approvo of that, let her send me measurements and general in structions at onco and I will myself give the orders. I gather from your letter that Miss Schweingold has uo friends in Lotidon at present. If that bo so, 1 shall ex pect ber to make our house her home during' hor stay, ard trust that you will convey as much to her for me. etc. In duo course thero arrived JUrs. Browncsmith's and Miss Sthweingold'B acknowledgements and thanks for this charming letter, together with a lengthy mtmoranduin, containing mul titudinous measurements of Miss Sohweiugold's .figure, a pattern of one ot Miss Sohweiugold's bodies and elab orate instructions as to material and oolor, which wcro promptly transmit ted to Madamo Claribel. Duo nolilija tion was also given to the Lord Cham berlain of Lady lsoledover s desiro to prtsent Miss Schweingold to her most gracious' Majesty. No sooner were these steps taken than rumors of tho ap proaching debut of tho American belle and heiress ldrMiss Schweingold was already known to fame in both these characters spread rapidly through so ciety. Tho immediate result was a ro markable accession of popularity to Lady Bolodover. Invitations of all kinds and from all quarters showered in upon her ladyship. Sho was be sieged by oallers. Peoplo who had not spoken to hor for years suddenly assumed tho air of intimato friends. People whom she had nover spoken to iu her life becamo inordinately anxious for hor acquaintance. All whiob Lady Boledover, possessing a considerable knowledge of the world, easily appreci atcd at its true value and treated ao oordingly. She had taken clmrgo of the heiress, as she had frankly avowed, for tho benotU of her own family, and she was determined that, so far as sho was able, she would keep the youug lady safe in Boledover IIouso until Lord Worridou had oxhaustod his pow ers of fascination. CHAPTER II. From ihe first,' oircurastances con spirt d to favor tho Countess' amiable plans, Mies Schweingold had crossed tho Atlautio in company with a party of friends whom sho left at Liverpool, wbeiieo sho was to have traveled on to London, accompanied only by her maid On tho morning, however, on which Bh'j was oxpected, tho following tele gram, beating tho Liverpool postmark, was handed to Lady lioledover t Obliged to dismiss my maid sudden ly.

"lake Watkins with you and say that tf I had not becu feeling indisposed myself I should cor- tiiilly lfavo oomp. I will find hor an othfr maid." Lord Worrldon went accordingly, thinking, like his mother, that no time should bo lost in opening tho attaok, He 'was by no means disappointed with tho lyoung lady, who- proved to be a periccl specimen ol blondo American beauty, though 'somewhat taller and more robust than rumor bad led mm to expect. It was also quickly evident both to his lordship and his mother that, in spitool Mrs lirownesmith s lav- orable report, tho heiress' speech and marlncrs wero conspicuously American, "So you'ro Lord Worridon, ard yout" sho said, shaking his lordship's hand cordially, as eoon'ai ho introduced him- selfH "Glid to seo you, sir." Lbrd Wonldon returned tho coTiph- ilicnt, nnd hoped that Miss Schwoin- gold had had a pleasant voyage. "I'retty well,' was tho answer. "It was awfully rough at starting, and I was 'sick, I can ti it you : but I a ion got over that. Hope your mother's well,sir.' Lord Worridon thought tho free-and- easy stylo of tho fair' Republican rather a pleasant contrast to tho oonsirainoi tono.of the Old World society. It was more what ho was accustomed to in tho other sex, nnd by tho timo they had "drivon to their distillation ho was on ho best possible terms with his companion. Lady Boledover was a I liltld taken aback by her first conver- sation with her guest but she too, was disposed to make considerable allow- ancol for tho heiress to 2,000,000. "I don't know who this Elias K. Schweingold can be," observed hor; ladyship. "Somo German navvy who has picked up a fortuno at tho mines, I should think: Thank heavon, wo aro not likely to seo muoh of him. The girl herself will improve, Wentworth. I can seo that sho is quick and lmila- tive. Sho is pretty enough to cover many faults of style, and American girls! aro not judged by tho same stand ard as our own. "Yes, I think' sho will do in time," Lord Wot ridon observed. "No doubt. And, yon seo, sho will not go out-much here.' Sho told you, I suppose,'" that hor father is very ill, and that she may bo telegraphed for to join bitn at any minute. That hap- pons) most iortunately, as 1 can now refuse all iuyitatioi)9 by her own do sire." And her ladyship did so, to tho in tense disgust of tho largo number of experienced society anglers who had beou' carefully grouud-baiting Bole dover House oyer since Miss Schwein gold's approaching visit got wind. It was perfectly true that Elias K. Schweingold was at this moment lying dangerously ill at Cannes, but a ma licious world refused lo believo it and persisted iu ascribing tho heiress' so-- elusion to tho most sordid motives on tho part ol her hostess. X his impres sion decpentd when it was seen that Miss Schweingold onco or twico ac companied Lady Boledover to enter tainments like theatres and concerts, where there was little or no oppoitunity of introducing her to strangers, and that Lord Worridon was her devoted attendant on all these occasions. This is not tho place to describe tho figure which Miss Schwtingold made ou her presentation. Abler pens have, in their proper sphere, dono full justice to tho subject, it is enough to sa that no ono was more nniyersally ac mired than the American beauty ; that, thanks partly to her native grace, part ly to Lady Uoledovcr s careful instruc tions, Bho'acquilted herself to perfec tion in the trying ordoal, and that her charms ot tace, hgtire and deportment oven won tho notice of royalty itself. Immediately after tho coremony, in deed, Lady Boledovor found horself tho recipient of certain flattering inti mations from exalted quarters, fn the laceiot which it was quite impossible fur her to attempt to bido her dislin guished protegee any longer. CHAPTER III. Happily for the success of her lady ship's schemes Lord Worridon had been making excellent use of tho week or more during which bo had enjoyed a monopoly of Miss sohweingold s ho citly. Tho task of making love to tho heiress bad proved a much more con genial ono than his lordship had ex pocted, aud having a natural aputiuio .that way when he was in tho humor he felt that matters had now advanced far enough to risk bringing them to a crisis. Accordingly, ou a hint from his mother, ho seized a convenient op portunity tho day after the drawing room nnd made tho fair American a formal offer of his heart aud prospects Ho was hardly prepared for the con fusion which his declaration appeared to causo the young lady. Miss ochweln gold, blushing crimaom, hid her laco in her handkerchief, coughed, stammer ed and seemed for a time quite unablo to speak. 'You mustn't. Lord Worridon, sho aid, presently. "You really don't know mo yet. "Don't know you yctl cxolaimed his lordt-hip. "Oh, Milly, what moro need 1 know than that 1 lovo you irom tho bottom of my heart T Think not that any obstaclo could alter my do- votiou (,rM, .ln't r,nl1r iiinnn It nnw I" said the heiress, reooveriug hot self- possession slightly, "You wouldn't liko mo tho same, would you, if I hadn't got a wholo pile of monoy T "Dearest, do not suggest such n thing. Indeed, it is youfrclf alone that I love." "I wiah it wero truo," said Miss Sohwcingold, n little sadly. "There, 1 dont know what to say, aud that a a fact. I never expected this. Let mu go and think about it." And so saying, Miss Sohwcingold roso and hurried from thu room, in spite of his lordship's efforts to detain her. "She ca'd sho wished it was true," mused Lord Worridon. "Hang it, that ought to bo good enough. But sho thinks I'm after tho coin. I wish I had pitchtd it a bit stronger on that head. Perhaps I had better just write her a littlo note.' nnd accordingly ho sal down and did so. Apparently tho note clenched tho business. Miss bchweingoUl did not reappear that day, pleading indispo ahion i hut on tho following morning soon after sho came down, sho gave hor suitor an opportunity of a tete-a-tete, from which ho emerged an on- gaged man. In a couplo of hours Lady Bolodover, in a elate of raptur ous satisfaction, had taken steps to havo tho news Of tho engagement dif fused to all whom it might concern. Here, Indeed, was luck, worridon was only lust in time. That same aftornoon a telegram arrived for Mies Sohweingold. Tho Senator's illness had takon a most alarming turn, and his dangbter was summoned to Cannes at onco. It was too Into lo start that day, but arrangements were at onco mado for her to leavo on tho following morning. Lady Boledover, of course, directly suggested that Lord Worrldon should escort his hnancoe, and secured at tho samo timo a traveling compan- ion of maturo yeara, for tho sake of propriety. Miss Sohweingold seemed strangely undesirous ot her lover's company, but on Lady Bolodover rep- resenting tho extreme desirability of his lordship seeing Mr. Sohweingold before the worst hippened tho young lady was obliged to givo in. Tho truth was, of oourse, that the Countess was extremely anxious that her son should keep his prize in sight now that he had secured it. Tho wholo party, accordingly, loft London ou tho following morning. On tho journey Lord Worridon perceived, that bis tinanoeo was aoutely distressed at tbe sad interruption ot her stay id London. She sat for most of tbe, time in a corner of tho carnage and for tbe greater part she remained silent : occa- sionally, however, she cava wav to hysterical outbursts, half of grief, half of laughter. It was quite a relief to his lordship when they at last reached Cannes and learned, as they did direct- ly they arrived at Mr. Schweingold a hotel, that the crisis was passed and that the eminent millionaire waB in a fair way towards recovery. Jjord Worridon, of oourse, put np at tho same hotel. Ho had not been there very 1 ng before bo received a message that Miss Schweingold would liko to seo him, and in a few moments ho 'was iu a private room wailing for the heir ess, isut, to ins great surprise it was not .Miss Schweingold, but another hdy who presently entered a lady, young, pretty, prettier, if possible, than Miss Schweingold, but darker and somowbat more delicate, and also un- mistdkibly American. "1, beg your pardon, Lord worridon," she said, coming at onco to the point with tho directness, of her nation, "but I havo to offer you and your family a very humblu apology. I am Miss Schweingold, daughtor of Senator Elias it. aohweingold. Lord Worridon gazed at tho fair speaker in blank amazement. . "You, madam 1 ho gasped as soon as ho could bud bis tongue. "Why, what the " "Allow mo to explain, my Lord, and believe mo that I ,am most ashamed to have to make snob an explanation to you personally. When I lauded at Liverpool a fortnight ago from tho Etruria I at once received a telegram informing mo that, my father was seriously ill and requesting mo to come on direct to him here. What was I to do T AU tho arrangements had been made for my presentation, and it was moat important that I should bo pre sented beforo starling on our Conti nents tour. Ono of my friends sug gested that I should travel on here alone, and send my maid, Clara Flind ers, who was about my own ago and size aud a singularly lady-like girl, to personato me in London. Had I been allowed timo to reflect I should havo seen the impropriety of so doing as stroijgly as I do now. But I hid no time, and 1 was also most glad ot an opportunity of escaping tho ridiculous luss ot the drawing-room which i had always hated, but which 1 knew papa would insist on my going through sooner or later. Accordingly, it was arranged that Clara should go ou to London in my name, and the rest you know. "Aud do you moan to tell me," cried Lord Worridon, in whoso breast humiliation, disappointment, and rago wero struggling lor tho mastery, "that you have allowed Ltdy Boledover! to chaperon your maid, havo-allowed your maid to bo presented to the Queen at a drawing-room, and havo actually per mitted her lo engage herself his lordship's tonguo.shrank from the men tion ot this last horror. "Pleaso do me the justioe to boliove that I never foresaw or dreamed of tho last result," said tho lady. "Bat now that tho thing is done I trust that I may look to your lordship to keep tho thiug seoret. You will seo my reason tor this request, should the true facts become known, not only am I in the position of not having been to court, but I foar there will bo very little chaucu of my being able to get pre sented norcaiter. " "Then upon my word," said Lord Worridon, whoso rago and mortifica tiou had got the bitter of his senso of politeness, "I declino to pledge-myself to anything ot me kind. 1 rather ro gaid it as a duty to expose such an audacious imposture "Your lordship will remember that you stand at present engaged to marry Miss Clara Flinders. Boforo you finally rotuso my request let mo remind you that your pronuso was mado indepen dently of tho girl's rank or fortuue, Uoro is a letter whioh Clara has given me, and'which I can hardly think vour lorusiup wouiu cure to uavo roau in court of justice.

TfrK COLtJBIAli, VOl XXII NO 23 COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT, VOL LU, NO 11 Bhe Married tho Brother, A BTRANUK CASK THAT HAS JUST II KEN 11ROUOIIT TO I.lnllT IN MARYLAND A romarkablo romanco of real lifo has just como to light in Westminister uounty, Maryland. It is as follows: Twenty-two years ago Edmund Davies waa a young man in his twentieth year. Ha had a younger brother, just eighteen. His naino was Frank, and ho wasan exact doublo of Edmund. It was early in 18Gt that Edmund Da- vies began paying attention to Pnnnio Forbes, tho young daughter of a neigh boring farmer. Tho brothers wero very muoh attached to, each other, and Frabk also was a frequent visitor to tho Forbes farm dwelling. Tho girl often took tho ono for the other, aud somo time afterwards agreed upon a signal with Edmund, bo tnat sho could readily know to whom sho was talking. Tho neighbors could not identify tbo brothers and they wero known only and referred to ag the Davies boys. It was tho girl that suggested to 1'A- mund that when ho came to her ho waslo uso tho Latin word "idem" (tho same). Timo passed and after a courtship of six or seven months Edmund .proposed marriage. i annio accepted and asked him whether ho did not havo some mark on bis hand or arm by which she could readily distinguish him in caso of nuuueii ueaiu-or serious ucciuuui. .liu told the girl that on his next visit ho won d disclose a mark by which she woujd recognize him in any case. Ed mund wont homo and mooting bis younger brother ho entrusted his secret to htm. Frank in his innermost heart, too, loved Fannie Forbes and theconfession of his brother, stirred his jealousy. Ho proposed a trip to Baltimore, persuading-Edmund to dispatch a messenger to his sweetheart that they had gone to Monumental City for tho special pur pose'ot having a tattoo mark placed betWoen tbe first and second finger of his right handl While in Baltimore thoy met an old friend of their father, Captain Aker, of tho ocean steamer Franklin. The captain said ho would Bail tho next day for Australia- and was Vory solicitious'that the namosako of his decoased friend should accom pany him. It was Edmund. Ho hesi tated. Tho captain told him of the pleasures of tho trip and the fine coun try to which ho would sail, and being urged by Frank ho yielded "to the in- tluences and consented. That evening he wrote, a farewell letter to his iutond ed wife, bidding her to await his com ing, and that ho was hopeful in tho- 'distant oountry. "Remember idem" were' ttie la9t words. Tho noxt morn ing, Friday, August 24, tho Franklin started on tho trip. Now, Frank had an opon bold, and bo improved tbo timo wonderfully well. His firet work was to read tho letter. The word "idem" seemed to puzzle him, but he remem bered hearing bis brother uso it when approaching the girl, and bo hit upon tho correct meaning at once. Next he had his right hand tattooed, no would marry the girl he loved, ho thought, and assumed tho name .of Ed mund, His return alone caused some talk, but when tho mail brought tho weekly newspaper .announcing tho departure of ono of the, Davies boys of Carroll oounty for Australia in tho Franklin, all wad well. Thenceforth Frank was known as Edmund. Even though ho gave tho oorreot word signal, H annie Forbes seemed to doubt his identity, but after the marriage had boon post poned for a month Bhe felt assured he was Edmund and they wero married. The union was a happv ono. Years went by and they prosperod, and by strict economy saved a good amount of money. Ten years after they had been married the husband was in Baltimore and there aoertained that his brother bad died in Australia and had willed all of his earnings to Frank. This knowledge the husband impaitod to his wife. The woirtan never know un til tbo day before ho died that her hus- and was b rank Davies. lint she had loved him just as dearly as if he' had een iuimuud and torgave btm trceiy. Ho died apparently happy. Social Entertainments at the Capital. Social entertainment in Washing ton differs from that-of any other city in tho country, on aocount ot mo cos mopolitan charaoter of the peoplo who reside in tho Capitol City, and tho in terest that is shown in all they say and do. In no city aro there bo many ele ments that can be combined to inako the social features of lifo brilliant and pleasant. Every stato sends her repre sentative men and women, all nations send theirs. And whilo tho title of Ambassador is not heard among tho diplomats, it makes no difforenco in the personnel of ministers, who must bo mon of tho highest charaoter to sustain the dignity of their couutrles. Ministers who have distinguished themselves in tho diplomatic service of this country have beon promoted to the titlo of Am bassador, and trausfered to places less pleasing to them than tho republio of America.

Roosevelt Banks and the Attic of Doom Audiobook
With a new sister on the way, Roosevelt Banks has to give up his bedroom and move into the attic, which must be haunted because of the all the squeaks and groans coming from the spooky place at the top of the stairs. After his plan to move into a fort in the woods fails, and a ghost-busting exercise goes terribly wrong, Roosevelt—with the help of Tommy, Josh, and Eddie Spaghetti—has to find the courage to defeat the biggest, spookiest ghouls ever and turn the Attic of Doom into a Room with a View.
Read by: Martie Miles Ages 8 to 12 2 hours 38 minutes
What reviewers say:
"Impressive sound effects, such as a snoring dog and ghostly sounds, add to the fun. When Roosevelt learns the attic will be his domain, he worries that its ghosts will ruin his life. His laugh-out-loud antics, such as scaring the ghosts with rotten eggs and "old lady" opera music, are relatable. Narrator Martie Miles portrays the family dynamics believably."

Systematic activities to prevent or cure health problems and promote good health in humans are undertaken by health care providers. Applications with regard to animal health are covered by the veterinary sciences. The term "healthy" is also widely used in the context of many types of non-living organizations and their impacts for the benefit of humans, such as in the sense of healthy communities, healthy cities or healthy environments. In addition to health care interventions and a person's surroundings, a number of other factors are known to influence the health status of individuals. These are referred to as the "determinants of health", which include the individual's background, lifestyle, economic status, social conditions and spirituality; Studies have shown that high levels of stress can affect human health. Health, according to the World Health Organization, is "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity".

The bear cub rolled playfully in the sunshine of the mountain meadow. Life was good. In the distance a mountain lion lurked. It licked its face in anticipation of breakfast; its jaws opened, wide. A warning growl alerted the cub of the lion's presence. The cub jumped up and ran frantically. The lion chased the frightened cub. Across the boulder-strewn meadow, the cub raced to the edge of a cliff and onto a fallen tree stretched out over a roaring river. Undeterred, the lion followed. The terrified cub clung to the tip of the tree till his weight broke the end of the branch. In the white rifts of water, the cub struggled to find solid ground. When he did, the lion pounced to the cub's side. The giant cat extended his claws and drew blood from the cub's nose. The cub stood tall and began to roar. The lion backed down and stopped slapping the cub. Standing behind the roaring cub, a few yards away, a huge mother bear's roar joins her cub's wails. The lion ran away.
We may relate well to that cub. We do not live in a perfect world. Troubles abound. Threats are real. Life roars and hearts race wildly with fear. Circumstances so grip us, we run for exits, seek safety nets, or cower in corners. Perhaps you've been there. Maybe you are there now. You feel helpless; but running is not an option. There is no where to run. What should you do?
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
Joshua faced many fears in his lifetime. He stood firm. When he did, he found he was not alone. Threats are nothing to God. He stands behind us and joins us in our battles--wherever we go. He commands us to be strong and courageous. Of course we will have fears as a result of threats to our well-being. But God tells us not to be terrified, and don't be discouraged. God is with us. In darkness, in storms, in unseen threats, and visible enemies. Courage stands up like the cub in the face of his fear. It stops running, it stands and roars in the strength of God protection and watchcare. selahV

2020 is approaching, and most of us are preparing for the new year as the year to change our life for the better. We're waiting until January to join Orange Theory Fitness to lose weight, read a book a week to gain as much knowledge as we can, and write a page a day to finally work on that book we have been putting off.
Note: I know this one way too well, and I'll follow up with another post soon on tips and tricks on how to write two books out of one idea.
I use to put myself into the trap of waiting until the first of the year, the beginning of the month to start a new plan, a new regiment, or routine to optimize my life. What started out as a good intention to better myself ended up being nothing more than ideas with no action.
It has become the societal norm to wait until the new year to change, but why wait when you can do it now?
These 4 things have helped me make shifts that have shown immediate results in the way I approach my work, my life, and reduce the high expectations I tend to put on myself.
With most things that are worth doing, they do take time, energy, and daily practice. But you will notice a huge difference in the way you live, work, and interact with yourself if you choose to work on these now.
Accept the Outcome And Move Past It
There is always someone else or something else that dictates the outcome. We know this and try our hardest to make the outcome swing in our favor.
We pull late nights at the office in hopes our boss sees us and recommends us for that next promotion.
We put ourselves on the strictest of diets, follow the most volume-driven content strategies for our podcasts and books.
We try at all costs to get what we want all the time.
But at times, the outcome does not happen the way we want. It is often dictated by uncontrollable forces and no matter how hard we work, we may not get what we want.
Learning to accept the outcome of our efforts and moving past it is a key step to shifting your life right now.
You will have setbacks in your work and life. The sooner you can accept that this is inevitable, life becomes much easier as you will be more willing to stay resilient and not beat yourself up during times of adversity and challenge.
A way to implement this now is to think about a goal you have set for yourself and ask what would happen if things didn't move as quick as you want or the result isn't happening as fast as you want.
What would you do? How would you respond?
Embrace Negativity to Create Positivity
Yes, you read that right. We can't stop the constant negative thoughts our brain generates. It's how we are wired and no matter how much we practice mindfulness and integrate practices for positive thinking, we will always have negativity.
Much of what we read is focused on eradicating negativity completely and one trick I have learned is to embrace the fact that I will have negative thoughts from time to time. It's part of who we are which means that I take the practice of the acceptance of the outcome whatever it may be and use it to cultivate optimism and positivity.
I recognize what's the worse that can happen in any situation and reflecting on this gives me a chance to create what I want.
I won't be cut off guard if something goes sideways because I was able to embrace the negativity and put my energy into positivity.
This practice takes a lot of time, especially if it has been difficult for you to shift your mindset historically.
A great way to do this is to start a journaling habit.
For the last couple of years, I have written almost every day about the things I am grateful for, the fears I possess and how I can overcome them.
I started out my journaling practice reflecting on the worst that could happen of sharing my writing and work publicly. Many of the journal entries were fear-based. Still, as I started writing more, I realized that with every downside I listed, there was an upside and something to be excited about.
The more I did this, the more I started to see the good things that could happen while being rationale and recognizing the risks. This has freed me to push myself out of my comfort zone with my writing and help me gather the strength to start a content marketing firm.
While everyone finds results sooner or later, the key is to do it as much as time affords you. The more you practice this, the more it will help shift your life for the better.
Ask For Forgiveness, Grant Forgiveness
Nothing humbles you more than asking for forgiveness. This has been a big challenge for me for quite some time. I have gotten a lot better at this over the last two years and continue to cultivate this act of forgiveness as a means of gratitude and appreciation.
There is a common perception especially in the workplace that making mistakes shows weakness and could put our job security at risk. This is a toxic way of thinking and could put you in a position where you will take yourself out of your job faster than somebody else will. To shift your life in a positive manner, embrace the fact that you will make mistakes and that you will have to own them by forgiving yourself and others who were impacted. This also means that when you are affected by someone else's mistakes, you grant forgiveness as well. The act of forgiveness is not about weakness. It is true strength and courage and acceptance that we are human beings and flawed individuals.
Procrastination Will Get You Nowhere
World-renowned marketing expert Seth Godin did a podcast with Brian Koppelman about the act of doing creative work.
He said, "it's always easier to talk about what we're doing rather than doing the work."
In this day and age, attention has become the new currency and we tend to post pictures and state how hard we are working on projects in hopes of comments, likes, and shares will make us feel like we are doing something.
The problem is that we become too wrapped up in responses to our works in progress rather than working on completing it.
I have run into this trap before making public statements to write every day or run a newsletter once a week. I got caught up in responses to what people would say about something that wasn't finished. The more I did this, the more I put my work on the shelf and focused on telling everyone what I was working on instead of showing the end product.
Procrastination ended up getting me nowhere and so did seeing two unfinished manuscripts and a bevy of blog posts in my Google Drive.
What helped me work through this challenge is a friend recommended the book The War of Art by Steven Pressfield as a method for helping me break through procrastination. Pressfield discusses the concept of Resistance and how every time we want to walk away from our work, become distracted with the news and our social feeds, Resistance is winning.
The more we let Resistance win, the more we will never fulfill our art and work we are meant to do.
The more I ignored the easiness of flipping on the TV while I write or the convenience of picking up my phone to text someone, the more I was combatting Resistance and turning the odds in my favor to complete the work I was meant to do.
The War of Art changed the way I approached my creative work. I started to remove all of the distractions and things that were easy to access and kept me from doing my work like my phone which I now place in another room and turn to Do Not Disturb. I suggest that if you are doing deep work or any sort of creative work, removing the distractions will lessen your ability to procrastinate.
Another tip is to remember that if the work you are doing is challenging and you are feeling frustration, chances are it is meaningful and impactful to someone. Every time you recognize that its easier to walk away than to work, that's when you should focus and work twice as hard to break through the procrastination as we all know that it leads to nowhere.
By the way, I put together a post on the two keys to unlocking compelling storytelling that will help you create the book, podcast, or blog you have always wanted.

The Book of Psalms appears in the Hebrew Bible as the first book in the third section, known as the Writings. In the Christian Old Testament, it stands in the middle, just after Job. Unlike many books of the Bible, Psalms is often lifted out of its context and produced as a separate volume, a Psalter, for personal or devotional use. Despite the seemingly firm nature of the book, however, Psalms is one of the least stable corpora in the entire Bible.
Modern Bibles generally contain 150 psalms, based on the form found in the traditional Jewish text, which is called the Masoretic text. But other versions of the Bible contain different numbers of psalms:
All of this evidence points to the conclusion that in the late biblical period, and even for a time beyond, the book of Psalms had not achieved a fixed form.
This lack of fixity is evident not only in the number of psalms, but in their order. The book of Psalms is divided in the Hebrew into five volumes:
Across all versions of the book, the first three of these volumes or so are relatively stable. It is in the last two volumes that we see significant fluidity (as can be seen in the divisions and recombinations evident in the Greek, noted above). In the Dead Sea Scrolls in particular, the last third or so of the book of Psalms is presented in a very different order from what we are accustomed to.
There are a number of further internal divisions or units within the book of Psalms. We find clusters of psalms that are known as the Psalms of Asaph, or the Psalms of Ascent; there is a segment, in Psalms 42–83, which is known as the "Elohistic Psalter," because it appears that in these psalms the divine name Yahweh has been systematically replaced with the generic title Elohim, "God."
These internal divisions suggest that the book of Psalms should be understood as a second-level collection: a gathering together of previously independent collections of psalms. In this light, the fluidity we see in the textual tradition should not be surprising. The Book of Psalms was a gathering place for certain types of Hebrew poetry, so it was possible to add to the collection in line with the traditions of various communities.
It is not always clear whether the additional psalms we find in the Greek, Syriac, and Dead Sea Scrolls were new compositions that were added to the collection, or were older pieces that had simply not made the initial cut in the Hebrew text. Regardless, we should certainly understand the book of Psalms as something of a rolling corpus, one that was not considered to be closed until quite late in the process of the transmission of the biblical text.
Tradition holds that David was the author of the book of Psalms. In the story of David's life, he is known to have been a musician: in 1 Samuel 16, he famously plays the lyre to soothe Saul's troubled spirit. Later in David's life, after the deaths of Saul and Jonathan, he laments their fate by reciting the poem found in 2 Samuel 22—a poem that is virtually identical to what we have in Psalm 18. It was perhaps these traditions that led to the view that David was in fact the author of many psalms, if not of the entire Psalter. In total, 73 psalms in the Hebrew are attributed to David with the superscription le-David.
There are good reasons to doubt the authenticity of these ascriptions, however. In the first place, some of the psalms that are ascribed to David could not have been spoken by him for historical reasons: they mention the Temple, which was not built in David's time but in that of his son, Solomon. Even more egregiously, some are clearly set in the context of the Babylonian exile—here Psalm 137, "By the waters of Babylon we lay down and wept for thee, O Zion," is a clear example.
Furthermore, the same process of textual fluidity that we see with the scope of the book of Psalms as a whole is evident also in these superscriptions: while the Hebrew text ascribes 73 psalms to David, the Greek version ascribes 85 to him. In other words, the process of connecting David to the Psalms seems to have been an ongoing one, rather than an element of the original poems themselves.
Some of the references to David in the Psalms are quite specific, attributing them not just to David but to David at a particular point in his life: Psalm 3 is said to be a psalm of David when he fled from Absalom. It is generally understood that these specific references are a later development: those responsible for preserving the biblical oral tradition and scribes searched for viable situations in David's life for which a given psalm might have been an appropriate thing to say. It should be noted, however, that even those psalms with specific Davidic superscriptions do not actually contain any specific references to David or his life in the bodies of the poems themselves.
Nevertheless, the tradition that David was responsible for the Psalms, or closely connected to them at least, was a strong one. In the Dead Sea Scrolls, it is claimed that David composed 3,600 psalms. In both the scrolls and in the New Testament, the word "David" is used to refer to the book of Psalms (as in "the law, the prophets, and David").
Similarly, the ancient rabbis declared that David was the author of the Psalms. At the same time, however, there are many psalms that are ascribed to a different figure: Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, the sons of Korah—even Solomon and Moses. Again, we can see that the idea that David wrote the Psalms was one that developed over time, perhaps in direct relation to the tradition that, although he didn't actually build the Temple himself, he did set up all the aspects of its rituals and service, as Chronicles is at great pains to describe.
Given the traditional ascription to David, the question of the date of the Psalms comes into play. For the most part, it is generally acknowledged that most psalms are difficult to date—if not in fact impossible.
Some are reasonably clear. We can point again to Psalm 137, which obviously comes out of an exilic context. In some cases, we can see in a psalm an idea or a set of ideas that seem not to fit with later biblical or Jewish concepts: for example, the ostensible polytheism evident in Psalm 82, where Yahweh stands in the divine council of El, the chief deity of the Canaanites. Most scholars agree that those psalms that refer to the Torah, or to wisdom traditions more broadly, are relatively late. Most psalms, however, do not contain clear indications as to their time or place of origin. Thus it is not impossible that David, or a contemporary, could have written some of the psalms; but it is at the same time impossible to prove this to be the case.
Perhaps the most important breakthrough in the study of the Psalms came in the work of Hermann Gunkel, a German scholar from the early twentieth century. Gunkel's insight was that the Psalms could be broken down into various categories according to their form and content. Gunkel identified a number of types of psalms:
Gunkel attempted to understand the contexts in which these types, or forms, of psalms could have come into being in the ancient Israelite community. He was interested not in the question of the composition of any given psalm, but rather in what he called the Sitz im Leben, the "setting in life," of each broader category. When, for instance, would a psalm of thanksgiving have been used in ancient Israel?
For the most part, Gunkel concluded that almost every type of psalm had its origin in the Israelite cultic sphere: these were, in other words, to be understood as liturgical texts, recited at the sanctuary on various occasions. One could imagine that a psalm of thanksgiving would be recited when an individual would go to the sanctuary to make a thanksgiving offering. When experiencing some sort of personal crisis, one would offer a sacrifice to the deity, as a means of getting God's attention, and then recite a psalm of individual lament, asking for divine favor and rescue.
This cultic setting makes sense—and comports with the notion from Chronicles that David instituted the reading of psalms as part of setting up the service at the Temple in Jerusalem. Scholarship has almost universally accepted the liturgical function of the psalms. Part of what makes Gunkel's insight so appealing is that it accounts for the seemingly repetitive nature of the psalms within each category: when one reads all of the psalms of thanksgiving, they appear to be functionally indistinguishable. By placing them within a cultic context, it is possible then to imagine that when an individual went to the sanctuary to make an offering, the officiating priest would provide him with a liturgical text to accompany the sacrifice, whichever text seemed most appropriate to the offeror's situation.
This idea also provides us with some insight into the interdependence of prayer, in the form of the psalms, and the cultic ritual of sacrifice. In ancient Israel, access to the deity was always mediated through sacrifice: there was no direct means of communication with heaven (the stories of the patriarchs and Moses notwithstanding).
Instead, we should imagine something more like what we find in the story of Hannah, Samuel's mother, at the beginning of 1 Samuel. Hannah is famous in part for her magnificent prayer, found in 1 Samuel 2. This prayer is really nothing other than a psalm of thanksgiving: it begins by saying "I have triumphed over my enemies," and then continues to praise God's awesome power in the world. There is, however, virtually nothing in the body of the poem that is specific to Hannah's situation—with the exception of the reference to God making the barren woman fruitful, and even this is but one of many descriptions of God's capacity to overturn the way of the world in favor of the weak. And it should be noted that Hannah does not simply go straight to the sanctuary to pray; she is there because she and her family have just been offering their annual sacrifices. In this we can see the sort of liturgical function that Gunkel imagined for the psalms, along with the notion that the psalms were more stereotyped than individualized.
The final shape of the book of Psalms seems to have been determined by the setting of Psalm 1, a wisdom psalm, and by the concluding psalms, all of which are hymns praising God. In theory, this was intended to suggest that the Psalms were a type of Torah—that is, a collection to be read and studied and meditated upon as a whole. It is safe to say that this attempt to give a wisdom coloring to the book of Psalms was, however, a failure. The power of the psalms, the reason that they have been so well-loved for so long, and in so many diverse communities, is precisely because they speak to the emotional aspect of the individual reader.
It should be noted that the Psalms are emphatically human in their origin: they do not represent divine speech or revelation. They are expressions of individual experiences and emotions, directed to the deity. As such, they achieve a certain sort of universality: even if a given psalm may not feel appropriate to one's situation, it is almost certain that another will. And just as life contains constant vicissitudes from happiness to sadness, from success to failure, and back again, so too the psalms contain the wide range of expressions of those highs and lows. The Psalms are a record of how ancient Israel, and individual ancient Israelites, reckoned with their lives in light of their understanding of their relationship with God. This use shines through to the present, and gives the Psalms the lasting power they still have today.

Marijuana Moment report
The governor of Oregon has announced her intent to veto a bill that's meant to create a regulatory framework for the sale and use of kratom for adults.
The Oregon Kratom Consumer Protection Act is bipartisan legislation that would make it so only people 21 and older could purchase the plant-based substance, which some use for its stimulating effects and which others found useful in treating opioid withdrawals.
Vendors would have to register with the state Department of Agriculture to sell kratom. The agency would be responsible for developing regulations on testing standards and labeling requirements. The bill would further prohibit the sale of contaminated or adulterated kratom products.
But while the House and Senate approved the legislation in June, Gov. Kate Brown (D) said on Sunday that she plans to veto it, in large part because she feels the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is better suited to regulate the products.
