Of every woman on the face of the earth.
The ones that walk by you two as you are out and about.
The ones that have been his friends for years.
The ones in movies and his favorite TV shows.
The ones he doesn't even notice, but will once you point them out and start an argument with him about how he was starring at her.
If she is a female, you should assume he may at some point take some type of interest in her.
If you didn't know, jealousy is one of the most attractive qualities a woman can exhibit.
And what's even more attractive is if you express these jealous thoughts and feelings regularly.
Question him about all of your suspicions. And do this daily. Hourly would be ideal though.
Accuse him of looking at other women, of fantasizing about other women, and checking them out on social media websites,
Put restrictions on who he can talk to and who he can't.
Who he can talk to = only men.
Who he can't talk to = every woman.
When he scans the room to make sure everything is okay and that you guys are safe, accuse him of looking at and checking other women out.
When he turns his head as you walk down the street to make sure you guys are not about to get hit by a car, smack him up side the head for eye-ing another woman.
Turn every wonderful outing you have into a nightmare because the only place you expect his eyes to be, no matter what you do, is to be glued to you and only you.
This is realistic and completely understandable.
Disregard the fact that men are visual creatures by nature and CAN'T HELP but see attractive women as they wonder through life. But instead, assume that he thinks every attractive woman he sees is more beautiful than you and that every woman that crosses his path (attractive or not) makes him stop loving you and makes him want to leave you (for them).
Happy successful relationship.
Here. You. Come.

3 Must Know Photography Tricks
Every photographer has a few tricks up their sleeve. Short any formal training, it can take a long time to learn those tricks. So in an effort to help my fellow creatives just getting started, heres the top three I lean on when composing images.
1.Negative Space
I love negative space. And its easy enough to find! Blank walls and the sky are the most common. So if you are having a challenge with your location, this is the easiest backup. Here's some examples!
Shooting into a cloudy sky is a super easy way to get endless negative space. With the subject properly exposed, the background will be blown out and look just like a white backdrop
Another negative space sky image
Over exposed white wall and sky. You can barely make out the wall line in the bottom left of the image.
Foreground: Get some blurry stuff in there!
I use this for portraits a good deal. And if you don't have any foreground, you can pick up some weeds or a leaf and hold it in front of the camera and no one will know the difference
Here, I'm literally holding some random weed in the left corner of the image.
Purposefully getting the orange localizer antenna in the foreground, it adds some nice perspective!
One way to help get those nice blurry foregrounds and backgrounds is to use a prime lens, and shoot with the lowest aperture you can.
Rule of Thirds: Perhaps the most important!
Ive talked about this on my website a few times, but for good reason. Its the raw thing that'll make your pictures look "right". In a nutshell, line stuff up with the points where the lines intersect.
Heres the usual line up, other than just squarely centered.
A little bit more of a hunt on this one.
You could consider this a bit of negative space and the rule of thirds.
Hopefully these simple tips will help you compose better images. Now theres tons more as far as composition goes. If you are interested in some further reading, check out some of these links!lessons, Photography, tips, tutorial

Beck, J. and Dorrian, M. 2018. The Time Capsule and the Cut Up: Negotiating Temporality, Anticipating Catastrophe. Theory, Culture & Society.
|The Time Capsule and the Cut Up: Negotiating Temporality, Anticipating Catastrophe
|Beck, J. and Dorrian, M.
The first feature film made about the design and deployment of the atomic bomb, The Beginning or the End (1947), begins with fake newsreel footage depicting the burial in a time capsule of a copy of the film and a projector to show it on. The scene, with its funereal overtones yet grim optimism that, even in the face of catastrophic destruction, the germ of civilisation will endure, recalls the ceremonies surrounding the interment of the Westinghouse time capsule at the New York World's Fair in 1939. Time capsules, this article argues, stand in a complex relation to war and temporality, seeking to at once anticipate and work through the challenge posed to futurity by the threat of global conflict. As a container, the capsule attempts to deliver and control the reception of a legible inventory of the present, yet the principle of selection and the impossibility of predicting how information might be received in the deep future – if it is received at all – threatens this aim. The dilemma faced by time capsule curators is, we argue with reference to William Burroughs' and Brion Gysin's so-called cut -up method of writing, one of control. By reading the time capsule through the cut-up, anticipated catastrophe can be seen to be functioning proleptically in the present and already active as a challenge to the capsule as proof against disaster.

A newly discovered risk factor for later development of ALS has been found: low muscle strength.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is rare and fatal usually two to five years after diagnosis.
New Risk Factor for ALS: Low Muscle Strength
A study at Sahlgrenska Academy, Sweden (Journal of Neurology, Feb. 2018) found that among teens (18 and 19), low muscle strength was a risk factor for this killer disease. So were low blood counts.
Though these results are impossible to ignore, this IS a first-time study in this realm.
However, Dr. Maria Aberg, a neurobiology professor, physician and lead study author, explains in the paper, "One should never overstate conclusions from a first-time study — the results need to be repeated."
Aberg et al took a look at Swedish military enlistment data for over 1.8 million men between 1968 and 2005, plus data from the Swedish mortality register and health care register. The follow-up was up to 46 years.
Out of the 1.8 million, 526 developed ALS.
New ALS Risk Factor
At the time the young men were enlisted in the military, the muscle strength of their legs, arms and hands were measured.
"Those with the lowest muscle strength had a significant risk of getting ALS 30 years later," says Dr. Aberg in the paper.
This is alarming news to anyone who may be recalling how "weak" they were in young adulthood.
The results of this study do NOT prove a direct causation between weak muscles early in adult life and the development of ALS years later.
But somehow, someway, this connection is there. Certainly, many people are "weaklings" in young adulthood and live to 90 without ever getting this motor neuron disease.
"But we have no answers as to why a particular group has lower muscle strength more than 30 years before becoming sick," says Dr. Aberg in the report.
If you never worked out as a younger person and thus had weak muscles – not even able to do a pushup or even half a pull-up – don't panic. Remember, there are millions of people who live to old age without ever developing ALS, who were weaklings in young adulthood.

How to set up a UK business as a migrant
It's not hard to start your own business in the UK, even if you come from a foreign country and have only just arrived here.
You may need a visa to give you permission to set up a company in the UK, especially if you are not from Europe, so look into the eligibility requirements of Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visas in the UK.
If you have been in the UK as a student and want to set up a business after graduation, then you will need a Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) visa instead, and an endorsed business idea.
Prior to Brexit, the European Economic Area allows citizens from the EU, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, to come to the UK to work without needing a visa.
After Brexit this is likely to change probably several times in the years to come – so if you are from the EU, EEA or Switzerland (which is not technically a member of either) double check on your visa requirements before you make any firm plans.
Common British businesses set up by migrants
As long as you have a legitimate business idea, there are no major limits on the types of British businesses you can set up as a migrant.
Traditionally the retail sector has been a main source for foreign-owned small businesses in the UK, along with foodservice and other small convenience outlets, but there are many other options too.
Arro Money itself was set up partly based on our experiences of being new to the UK and finding it hard to get a bank account here – so we are proof that you can even set up a financial services business if you wish.
Depending on your visa, you might need to demonstrate that you have a strong business idea before you are granted access to live in the country long-term, so whatever you decide, just make sure you have a clear plan on how it will make a profit and sustain your lifestyle.
British business structures for migrant entrepreneurs
There are a few different business structures to choose from in the UK. You could register as a sole trader, which gives you the flexibility to earn money in your own right and keep whatever profits you make.
A limited company helps to protect you against any business debts you accumulate, and can have tax benefits too – although if you're not earning much, it can be easier to just remain as a sole trader.
You can also register a partnership, which could allow you to go into business with a permanent UK resident or British-born partner – but if you do this, make sure that your status as a migrant is not a problem too.
Ultimately your business plan will probably point you in the direction of a particular structure, and the terms of your visa might require you to create a company rather than trade as an individual – so just make sure you do everything right to avoid problems later.
Access to British business banking for migrants
It can be quite hard, or at least quite slow, to get a UK business bank account for a migrant, even if your business is up and running with a firm business plan in place.
Unfortunately the high street banks can be quite intrusive, with lots of paperwork and proof of ID, proof of your UK address, proof of your credit score and financial status, and so on.
You may be asked to commit to certain 'minimums', for example to keep a certain minimum balance in your business account or to pay in at least a certain amount every month, even if you don't know exactly how much you will be earning.
Alternatively, you might be pushed towards taking out a business account with credit you don't need, from an overdraft, to a business credit card, to a development loan with long-term repayments and interest.
An easy-access migrant business account
We at Arro Money wanted to give you a business account you can open instantly with realistic expectations of what ID and proof of address you will have when you're new to the UK.
There's no overdraft or credit card, so no need for a credit check. We don't expect a minimum balance – just don't spend more than you have in your account. And we check ID online, automatically, from 160 home countries, so you don't need lots of proof of your UK address.
Just fill in our Arro Business Account signup form to tell us your name, date of birth, UK address, and your company name and contact details – and in just three minutes you could be up and running.

The Best CSGO teams – Esportsranks CS GO Ranks in May
Esportsranks presents part two of CS GO ranks in May. Below are the best CSGO teams currently.
Gambit Esports
Players – Zeus, AdreN, Dosia, mou and HObbitt
Gambit Esports is a rising team from the east. After getting HObbitt on a loan and getting ex-Na'Vi player zeus as their captain, they found success immediately and won DreamHack Winter 2016. Their most recent success was winning DreamHack Austin 2017. They defeated the heavily favoured G2 Esports in the semifinals that turned out to be one of the most thrilling series of the year. Definitely one to watch as they bid to become one of the best CSGO teams.
Natus Vincere
Players – Edward, seized, flamie, GuardiaN and s1mple
Natus Vincere is one of the most successful organisations of all time due to their heavy popularity by being one of the best in multiple game categories. They have great chemistry and likes to control the pace of the game by playing slow. Their core players have been playing together since 2013 and added flamie, a young upcoming star, back in 2015. In 2016, they added s1mple who was basically a one man team in his previous stints with other organisations like HellRaisers and flipsid3 tactics. He impressively shined as a stand-in for Team Liquid and eventually got snagged by Na'Vi. Their most recent success was back at the end of 2016 by winning ESL One: New York 2016.
Players – chrisJ, denis, IoWel, oskar and ropz
Mousesports is one of those great teams that have potential but is clearly lacking an assortment of accolades to be defined. Lead by team captain ChrisJ who has been with the team since 2013 and played with a few dozen players under the mousesports team. After losing NiKo to FaZe Clan, they took a step back. They continuously find themselves with new players and develop better players.
Players – olofmeister, dennis, kRiMZ, flusha and JW
Fnatic has been slumping ever since pronax created his own team (GODSENT) and took out the of the fnatic roster. As a result, both GODSENT and fnatic were left scrambling and struggled to stay relevant in the big stages. Fnatic took back its core in February 2017 and is now back to its original 5 man roster that terrorised every team they were up against years ago. They have been putting together a string of good games and will certainly climb up the ranks again once a premier tournament comes.
Players – MSL, cajunb, Magiskb0Y, k0nfig and aizy
North is one of the newest organisations to have a strong debut in the competitive CSGO scene. They are ex-dignitas players who were a decent team that was slowly improving a few years back. Astralis traded cajunb for Kjaerbye (dignitas) that ended up benefitting both teams. North shows a lot of promise to become a contender in the Majors and will definitely be a team to watch. They had a disappointing run to IEM Sydney 2017 and ended up being eliminated by the Chiefs who were clearly a subpar team. However, they finished with the highest seed in ESL Pro League Season 5 Europe which had to be one of the most competitive leagues because of the stacked European conference.
G2 Esports
Players – shox, Bodyy, NBK, kennyS and apEX
G2 Esports, also known as the French Superteam, acquired NBK, apEX and kennyS from Team EnVyUs back in February 2017. This is an attempt to bring back the old days where the French team dominated the scene along with the Swedish giants which are fnatic and Ninjas in Pyjamas. They have a record of 30-9 during the past 2 months and have been bulldozing their way to the top. It is only a matter of time before they clinch a top 2 finish in a premier or major event.
Players – TaZ, Neo, pashabiceps, Snax and byali
Virtus.pro have been notoriously known for inconsistency. They are one of the most volatile teams in the competitive landscape. Although in the big stages, they always perform exponentially better. Their team roster has been flawlessly intact since the start of 2014 and had years to build up their chemistry. Virtus.pro have a fully stacked trophy room every year to prove that they will always be in the conversation to win any tournament despite having a bad record. They finished 2nd in the previous Valve Major (ELeague Major) in a tough best of 3 series against Astralis that could have went either way. They also won DreamHack Masters – Las Vegas 2017 against SK Gaming. Even with all these great accomplishments, they find themselves at the bottom of the standings in ESL Pro League Season 5 – Europe.
FaZe Clan
Players – rain, kioShiMa, allu, karrigan and NiKo
FaZe Clan contains one of the most mixed teams with their current roster. All their players including the coach are from different nations. Their team looks good on paper as these players are all individually talented. Their most recent success was just a month back in Starladder Season 3 where they finished 1st in a extremely stacked tournament with the top teams from all over the world invited. They performed great in IEM Sydney 2017 although they failed to gain traction in the finals and kept losing to a series of runs by SK Gaming.
Players – device, Xyp6x, dupreeh, Kjaerbye and gla1ve
It comes to no surprise that Astralis would finish in the top 3. They did win the previous Valve Major and are the reigning and defending champions. No one expected them to be this good after the inclusion of gla1ve in the lineup. They finished as the runner up for ELeague Season 2 and Starladder Season 3. They also won the IEM XI World Championships and ECS Season 2 along with the previous Valve Major. This all happened in a 5 month span which is a clear show of dominance through December 2016 – April 2017. They are currently slumping right now and should be on top form when the next major tournament comes.
SK Gaming
Players – FalleN, felps, fer, coldzera and TACO
SK Gaming has been in the conversation of always being on top of the summit when it comes to being the best. Ever since their breakthrough, they have been continuously improving even when they were under the Luminosity Gaming organisation. They have been consistently good for several years and is shaping up to be a great dynasty. They recently dominated IEM Sydney 2017 who had teams like Astralis, FaZe Clan and North in the tournament. SK Gaming only dropped one map throughout the tournament and was undefeated up to the finals. They were amazing through every clutch situation with plays that could be done by any player from their team
Read about their success in IEM Sydney 2017 here.

Crucially, long-time participants Shillong Lajong and new-promoted Real Kashmir are not signatories to the clubs' latest initiative.
Eight I-League clubs have penned a letter to the All India Football Federation (AIFF), questioning the future of the league amidst reports that the ongoing campaign maybe its last. In a letter written by Kolkata giants Mohun Bagan, the clubs want to seek clarity on the league's future and have expressed their "anguish and fear" about a plan to "kill the clubs."
The letter states how the I-League clubs have remained the backbone of Indian football for all these years and they are responsible for producing all the players succeeding in the Indian Super League right now. It also points out how the shutting down of the league will lead to unfathomable losses for not just the clubs, but for the whole Indian football ecosystem.
It further states: "As important stakeholders of Indian football, we deserve to be heard so that an amicable and long-term solution can be found without robbing anyone of their livelihood or rightfully deserved spot in the top division league of the country."
The letter also asks for a meeting between the eight I-League clubs- which include Bagan, East Bengal, Aizawl FC, Chennai City FC, Churchill Brothers, NEROCA FC, Gokulam Kerala FC and Minerva Punjab- and the AIFF to discuss many persisting issues in the Indian game.
Part 1 of the letter written by eight top flight clubs to AIFF President Praful Patel
The first and foremost issue raised is the merger of the I-League and the ISL. It states how the topmost league of a country is sacrosanct and cannot be privately owned or operated by anyone. It also explains how the league can only be operated by the AIFF and not FSDL (Football Sports Development Limited) which runs the ISL.
The clubs have proposed a unified league, which includes a true merger between the I-League and ISL clubs and a league which follows a proper structure with promotion and relegation. The letter also explains how the I-League clubs are ready to accept the ISL clubs being immune to relegation due to some contractual obligations they must observe. However, there should not be any forceful relegation of the I-league clubs into the second division.
The second burning issue raised is concerning the interference of FSDL in basically trying to run Indian football. The letter states that despite FSDL being AIFF"s commercial partner, their influence in the game is becoming more pronounced by the day. It claims that the AIFF has seemingly outsourced its own job to FSDL along with all its powers.
The letter points out how the FSDL has its own appointees in the AIFF"s technical committee and decides about who should be picked for the Indian national team and on other important issues. They also reiterated how when it comes to running the league, the I-league clubs are never even consulted.
It asks how a non-technical personal from a marketing company can be appointed in the technical committee of the AIFF?
The clubs have sought clarity on their role in the future structure of Indian football
It further explains how the FSDL should not have a say on which I-League matches should be telecast or streamed. It states how the limited broadcasting for the I-League makes it clear that the ISL is the priority number one and the I-League is being pushed onto becoming the second tier league of the country.
The final issue to be resolved is about explaining what has been done to act on the report prepared by AFC and FIFA regarding the merger of the I-League and ISL last year. It states ow the I-league clubs were interviewed by AFC personnel before the report was issued to the AIFF and how the governing body has not shared the report with any I-league club since. The I-League clubs want the letter to be shared with them and for not any more secrecy to be involved.
Finally, the I-League clubs have reiterated that they stand united in seeking answers towards their future. The letter, signed by Debashish Dutta of Mohun Bagan, also has signature places for representatives of other clubs including Sanjit Sen (East Bengal), Valenka Alemao (Churchill Brothers), Rohit Ramesh (Chennai City FC), Ranjit Bajaj (Minerva Punjab), V.C Praveen (Gokulam Kerala), Robert Royte (Aizawl FC) and Naoba Thangjam (NEROCA FC).
This could deal a massive blow to the AIFF's plans to restructure the league next season onwards. With Bagan and East Bengal, both tipped to join the ISL, also adding their voices to the chorus, things could get interesting in deciding the future of Indian football.

- Caramel Popcorn – The combination of sugar and stickiness is a cavity waiting to happen. If you've ever eaten caramel corn you know that your teeth start hurting while you're eating it! Try your best to avoid the temptations of caramel corn or popcorn balls to keep your teeth sugar and sticky free!
- Candy Apples – You may feel like your trip to the North Carolina state fair is incomplete without a fried treat or a candied apple, however those yummy treats can do more than just satisfy your fair food craving. Opt for a different kind of fair treat and your teeth and gums will thank you in the long run.
- Spice Lattes – In its natural form, coffee and tea can be healthy beverages. However pumpkin spice lattes from your favorite coffee shop usually contain way more sugar than standard drinks. Plus, the frequent consumption of coffee or tea can stain your teeth. If you can't resist the spice latte, keep your add-ons to a minimum and make sure to drink enough water.
- Dried Cranberries – Sticky foods are your mouth's biggest nightmare, even though dry fruit is considered healthy. Sticky foods are more damaging to your teeth because they tend to cling to your teeth longer than other foods. If your favorite snack is dried fruit or trail mix, make sure to rinse with water afterwards, and brush and floss thoroughly after you're finished snacking.
- Cream Soda – When you drink sugary substances like soda for long periods of time, plaque bacteria uses that sugar to create acids that attack your enamel. Most soft drinks are acidic and therefore harmful to your teeth.
Don't forget that you should be visiting your local dentist every six months for your routine exam and teeth cleaning. If you live in Raleigh, Durham, or Chapel Hill schedule your appointment with Sunrise Dental by filling out our contact form or calling the location nearest to you:

[Politics] Agorism – an Introduction
Posted by BHudson on January 24, 2009
Foreword – This is an introduction to the political theory of agorism, which Lex has kindly allowed me to talk about here. I hope you find it thought-provoking and interesting. Sorry it's so long (but I think it's worth it).
A (Fairly Brief) Introduction to Agorism
'Just once, wouldn't you like to read a manifesto that's been practiced before it's preached? I wanted to. And I did it.' – Samuel Edward Konkin III, Preface to the First Edition of the New Libertarian Manifesto.
Statism: Our Condition
Imagine a gang that controls every aspect of life. This gang of gangs uses its power to ensure total submission, and in time its central role in life leads to more than just submission – by precedent and habit, the gang becomes the Gang, legitimate in the eyes of the people. Dormant and blind to the assaults of the Gang, they are robbed regularly without complaint. The Gang kidnaps and even murders members of the public for failing to agree with its will. Mass murder is committed abroad to inflict the Gang's way of life on others. Immorality become centralised and institutionalised. By carefully designed propaganda and 'education', the masses are kept ill-informed. The greatest lie of all created by the Gang is that it is essential for society.
More than an allegory, this is our current situation. The State – government of any form – is no more than a gang. Logic dictates that we must judge the world by universalities. Theft is wrong, yet taxes are tolerated. Kidnapping is wrong, yet prison sentences are seen as fair. Murder is seen as wrong, yet executions continue to be part of the 'justice' system in many parts of the world, and wars have murdered more people in a hundred years than in all of history. Through 'education' and the media, the illusion is created that the State is necessary to protect the people from themselves, through legislation, policing and punishment. With this one great lie follows several fallacies to justify the crimes of violence, or threat of violence; that taxes are the only way of allocating public and social services, that the punishments decided by the state are somehow necessary for purposes of retribution or crime prevention and so on ad nauseam. Clearly, the State is morally reprehensible: Our Enemy – The State. What, then, is the alternative?
Agorism: Our Goal
'Agora' – the Ancient Greek word for a marketplace. Agorism is based upon the belief that all problems of resource allocation, social services, law and order – in short, all the aspects of society we need – can be solved by the free voluntary exchange of goods (or a universal medium of exchange, ie. gold) on the open market.
Violence or coercion is forbidden. Everything else is not.
For most products, this requires no change from current society. But what are we to do about demerit goods – those that are over-supplied by the market reflex – hard drugs, for example. Indeed, it would seem at first thought that legalising such things would cause great problems of dependency. However, we must move away from the statist lie that claims the people need protecting from themselves. The current system presents many things that are more dangerous than any illegal drug, and yet common sense prevails in the most cases. The illegality of drugs has one effect – demonising and criminalising the victims of addiction. With the stigma of hard drugs reduced, the floodgates are open for greater investivation, research and treatment. If the drugs are harmful, their effects will reduce demand over time – humanity is not stupid. If they are harmless, where's the problem?
A radical change is only needed for those services supplied purely by the government, most notably law and order. Even this is simply provided by the market mechanisms. The theory is based on Konkin's example given in the NLM, itself based upon the work of Rothbard, Linda and Morris Tannehill, and others. A free market for protection leads to the creation of more insurance firms and private contractors, enlisted to investigate crimes and retrieve property. Each person, if they so wish, insures their property and their life to a value dictated by the market or themselves respectively. In the case of a theft, the insurers have an incentive to track down the thief to restore the victim's property – if they fail to find it, they must pay out of their own pockets. If they cannot incite the thief to return it willingly, or use legitimate means to retrieve it otherwise, they will lose customers to their competitors. This leads to more efficient law and order systems.
This is, of course, a vast simplification to meet the scope of this introduction.
Counter-Economics: Our Means
Even with a clear target, it is a vast step from a statist society to a totally agorist one. However, agorism differs from anarchocapitalism and other forms of market anarchism in that it has a workable, individual theory of counter-economic revolution. The strength of the State comes from its total control of every aspect of life. Without the ability to effectively enforce the more ridiculous edicts, counter-economics is second nature to most, if not all people. Millions deal in illegal, yet harmless drugs, or evade taxes. Even by off-the-books payments or large gifts to others, one can evade the controls placed on life by the state. No harm is done to any people, society, or any moral standards. As the distinction between legal and moral becomes irrelevant (as indeed it is – what moral code would ban cannabis, but support the sale of tobacco, a far more dangerous drug?), society becomes happier, healthier and more peaceful. And the State, robbed of its supply of money and support, drops off like a dead bough. The pursuit of happiness through spontaneous means can only lead to agorism. The rule of the state is illogical and counterproductive in every way.
The world's markets can be divided into four sorts – white, grey, black and red. Note that the 'markets' include not just the exchange of goods, but also all aspects of life:
White markets are those sanctioned and hence controlled by the State.
Grey markets are those trading in legal goods and services, but out of the eyes and control of the state – barter economies, so called 'white-collar crime', and so on.
Black markets are those outlawed by the State – drugs, the use of illegal immigrant labour, proscribed sexual acts – anything both moral and prohibited, but carried on regardless.
Red markets could be described as non-State violence and coercion – murder, extortion and so on. The only difference between red and white is the support of the State – the key hypocrisy that undermines all governments, be they democratic or not.
Clearly, the key to revolution is a public movement to not rely on the white markets, but on the grey and the black, with the exclusion of the red. For almost all products, this is easy and natural. Removing the inefficiency and complications of the State can only lead to higher profits on both sides of the checkout.
Revolution: Our Strategy
Agorism is extremely contagious! Though apparently alien to those used to a statist existence, it is self-explanatory and simple once explained. Equally, we all have a duty to lead by example. Firstly, to show that morality is more important than mere legality. Secondly, to show by our actions and attitudes the truth that the State is an artificial construct designed to limit and control the expansion of Mankind. Thirdly, to be conspiciously happy and free in our enlightenment to lead others into the movement by example.
The strategy of the revolution can be made into several steps, as follows.
Phase 0 – No active agorism (counter-economic practice) occurs. The role of all enlightened libertarians is to publicise the movement and act as examples to society.
Phase 1 – Organisations of practising agorists grow. Centrist libertarians become more counter-economic in everyday practice.
Phase 2 – Agorism is percieved as a threat by the State. The entire society is to some degree aware of agorism. The first anarchovillages of agorism start to evolve, protected by peaceful practice and the sympathy of society. Alliances of agorists accelerate the transition of common practice to agorism rather than statism.
Phase 3 – The growth of the counter-economy is damaging the state by sapping its resources. As the resources reach equality between Economy and Counter-economy, the State turns to violence to repress the agorist movement. Resistance is needed, and is provided by a fledgling alliance of protection companies. Note that the instigation of violence is wrong, without exception. Defence is the only acceptable use of violence.
Phase 4 – Society has become mostly agorist, with statist impurities. The insurance and protection companies described earlier are fully created, and act in good-willed competion. Perfect information through the internet prevents malpractice and retrostatism. Statism crumbles, robbed of its resources and support. Society becomes free for the first time since statism first blighted the earth.
This is but the briefest introduction to a concept that is simple in its basic premises, but deeply complicated in many of its details. No doubt some large gaps are left in your understanding. Central to my understanding is the New Libertarian Manifesto by SEK3 (as Konkin is still known), and Agorist Class Theory by Wally Conger, based on Konkin's work. It must be noted that the 'Libertarian' Party of America is a poor imitation of real libertarianism. For all their best attempts, they are simply continuing statist principles. Equally unfortunately, the Movement of the Libertarian Left has fallen under improper control and no longer represents the agorist theory. Superb references can, however, be found from the Alliance of the Libertarian Left (an alliance of all left-libertarian practices, not just agorism) and agorism.info. I would be glad to attempt to answer any questions or doubts about the viability of the strategy, though I am by no means an expert. In future posts, I would like to expand on various points, including a more detailed description of the private legal process, an overview of agorist class theory, and the differences between agorism and anarchocapitalism.
Key to agorism is individual action. One can become a fully-functioning agorist with little effort – oppose the State, work outside its bounds, act as a beacon to the world, and the job is done. For a full revolution, cooperation is needed. At the moment, most of the First World is between Phases 0 and 1. Within 2 years of the original manifesto, Konkin himself witnessed certain communities in Long Beach reaching Phase 2. To the best of my knowledge, these have largely disappeared. In my mind, this is due to the lack of publication. More than any other time previously, the world is ripe for revolution. The internet presents an unprecedented forum for the masses. Even more important, it allows (in theory) perfect information. No longer can the crimes of statism be ignored or silenced. If Konkin was able to so blatantly defy the State in the 80s, it can be done today.
In the NLM, Konkin suggested an 'oath' of sorts for agorists. Though over 25 years old, it rings as true today as it ever did.
"We witness to the efficacy of freedom and exult in the intricate beauty of complex voluntary exchange. We demand the right of every ego to maximise its value without limit save that of another ego. We proclaim the age of the Market unbound, the natural and proper condition for humanity, wealth in abundance, goals without end or limit, and self-determined meaning for all: Agora.
"We challenge all who would bind us to show us cause; failing proof of our aggression we shatter our fetters. We bring to justice all who have aggressed against any, ever. We restore all who have suffered oppression to their rightful condition. And we destroy forever the Monster of the Ages, the pseudo-legitimized monopoly of coercion, from out minds and from our society, the protector of aggressors and thwarter of justice. That is, we smash the State: Anarchy.
"We exert our wills to our personal limits restrained only by consistent morality. We struggle against anti-principles which would sap our wills and combat all who physically challenge us. We rest not nor waste resource until the State is smashed and humanity has reached its agorist home. Burning with unflagging desire for Justice now, and Liberty forever, we win: Action!
"Agora, Anarchy, Action!"

My basic problem with the libertarian tenedency in its many forms is the assumption that all people are inherently equally capable actors on a level playing field. There never seems to be any thought concerning the fact that all do not enter the marketplace with the same information and personal resources.
Insofar as your particulars, I question your description of U.S. libertarians, either the party or groups like the Cato Institute as "statist."
January 25, 2009 at 21:35
PS: the contrast in the left column seems much better.
January 26, 2009 at 14:59
That is indeed a recurring concern, and indeed pretty much exactly the same (to the word) as what someone else very recently said to me. The largest problem, in my eyes, would occur during the first few months of a virtually agorist existence, when society is just beginning to normalise. Thanks to the total reliance on the market for self-regulation, there is a risk that large (especially monopolistic) corporations may become pseudo-statist in themselves. It may well be that privately funded charities will be established (as, to some degree, they already have) to help out those who are unable help themselves.My hope would be that after the initial period, the lower economic classes would be able to take advantage of the more efficient economy.
Unfortunately, it seems that there will always be inequalities, though I hope that they will decrease as social conciousness increases (and, it must be said, they should be more due to personal effort rather than institutionalised class boundaries as they currently are). But you are indeed right on that, and it's something which I've yet to get my head totally around.
As regarding the Libertarian Party, they're not statist in themselves – indeed on many levels they are laudable. However, by their participation in the statist system they are just helping to legitimise and condone its existence. Regardless of ambitions, they could repeal twenty laws a day (making the huge assumption that they could ever take power) and make no real progress in a term. They are what Konkin (I believe he coined the term) called partyarchists – trying to establish anarchy through normal political means.
Regarding the Cato Institute, it's not an organisation I know very well. However, aside from the role of Koch and the subsequent ignorance of Rothbard, I honestly can't see a great deal wrong with them. Though on some points they are found wanting, I wouldn't go so far as to call them statist.

17 Apr Overwhelmed
"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
I Peter 5:7 NIV
When my husband and I agreed to homeschool my daughter, we decided to use a Christian online academy for her kindergarten year. I was looking forward to this program, since it was created by my alma mater. I had such a great experience with my studies, so I figured I would be equally satisfied with my daughter's schooling. I realized that this program was not the best fit for my little one. Also, with only one income supporting the household, I knew it would not be wise to continue another year paying for this program.
Midway through my daughter's kindergarten year, I began to look for all possible information and resources I could find on how to homeschool, picking out the right curriculum, homeschool groups, co-ops and the list goes on. My mind was spinning from everything I had read. I hadn't even known from that point the various ways of homeschooling. I was overwhelmed.
You know what, though? God had already been ordering my steps for a long time. For every decision, small or big, I would pray to God for His direction. Some of those decisions did not make much sense. They make sense now…I used to work in my local school district. After the birth of my daughter, I knew I could not return due to the job schedule. So, I prayed. I was specific with the details of what I needed. And God showed me. I'll never forget my reaction when I realized the door God had me enter would bring about a HUGE pay cut. The wonderful health benefits I had received before would not be available with this next job. I was apprehensive about this choice. It just did not make sense for me to take it. Yet, I knew God was holding this door open for me. It is almost 7 years later that I now understand why He had me walk this path. That job that did not make sense to me was for a position in a Christian homeschooling company. While I only worked there briefly, I was able to connect with the homeschooling side of things and gain important knowledge for where I am now as a homeschooling parent.
Although I was overwhelmed with all of the information I was obtaining on homeschooling, I was brought back to the memory of this previous job. And I calmed down, knowing that God had already known this day would come. I was able to develop a plan for my daughter that would be effective in helping her grow in her studies AND be cost-effective for our household budget.
Knowing my overly planning self, I could very well have given myself an anxiety attack during this time. But, I had to go back to the order of God and remind myself of all those times I had prayed to God for His leading and direction. And I had to continue to trust that if I was following His lead, things would continue to line up.
And they have.

Tony, Jody and the Condon family were awarded the title of Champions in Education from the Estherville Lincoln Central Foundation for all of their support of the schools in Estherville. The Condons have been giving back to the community and the schools for quite some time now.
They have been Booster Club members for over 30 years, supporters of the fine arts for 15-20 years, and now are supporting technology for the schools.
In fact, they are sponsoring Woody's Pizza ticket books right now with all proceeds going toward the Parent Action Team. PAT will put the money towards installing Smartboards in K-4 classrooms. These boards are interactive touch screens that help the students be more involved and help speed the learning process.

Mr. Condon himself was president and board member of the ELC community school district board of education for six years. His job was to help administration enforce policy and budgets while solving any problems that occurred.
When asked what accomplishments he had while on the board, and why he did not go for another term, Tony responded, "We had a positive administration change, set ground work for subsequent voting on bond issue for expansion of middle school, as well as an addition to Demoney Elementary. As for not going for another term, after serving for so long you start to get comfortable, and it becomes routine. Two terms of anything is long enough. Change is needed to keep moving forward," Tony said.
Jody is a school counselor at Demoney Elementary, and has been for six years now. Prior to working at Demoney she worked at Iowa Lakes Community College in the Career resource center and helped coordinate tutoring. "My favorite thing about my job is the interaction with the kids. They are all excited to learn. I have a great atmosphere here as well as wonderful teachers and staff to work alongside me," Jody said as she smiled.
"It is certainly an honor to be asked to hold the title of Champions in Education. It is also humbling because there are so many others who could have been chosen. There are quite a few who give back to the schools as well," Jody said.
"We just feel it is important for businesses and individuals to give back when you can. We feel we do not do a lot. We just do what we can to make a difference in the lives of the next generation," said the Condons on why they get involved. "We need to be good role models for children and show that it is important to be involved and give back," Jody added.
The ELC Foundation will be honoring the Condon's at the banquet at the Elks Lodge on Sept. 27. Social hour is at 6:30 p.m. Dinner starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are available now for $20 from Fifth Street Salon, or at the ELC district central office in the North Roosevelt building at 315 N. Sixth St. There will be tickets available at the door as well. If you are attending the banquet, you will be giving back as well, since all proceeds go to ELC. Every little bit counts when it comes to supporting your schools and community.

-All gave some, some gave all-
A Memorial Day message to be at the Kalkaska cemetery
Bob Hall is the VFW Chaplin of Kalkaska, Michigan. He is my very good friend and fellow combat veteran, seeing front-line combat in Korea, during the same time frame as myself in an infantry outfit. We both were wounded in action and have both received the "Purple Heart" "Combat Infantry Badge" and other similar military acknowledgements. We also both belong to a VA group that helps us deal with our individual PTSD. Post-traumatic stress disorder, acquired through the rigors of war and having seen and been a part of, too much of the death and destruction of other human-beings made in the image and likeness of God. Bob, as the VFW Chaplin, has occasion to speak out at different veteran's events. He has asked me to help him prepare a short message for him to give on Memorial Day, at the Kalkaska cemetery, on May 29, 2017. I have listed a copy of it below.
Leith Lyman Cunningham www.thetruthstandsout.com
Chaplin Bob Halls Memorial Day message at Kalkaska
We find ourselves here at the Kalkaska cemetery on this Memorial Day, in 2017, to individually, collectively and as a grateful nation; to honor, give thanks to God and to all of the brave men and women who gave their own last measure of life, that the rest of us may live on, in peace, safety and plenty.
Memorial Day is an important day in America. It's a day to give thanks, to pay tribute and to remember those who gave their lives to protect our country. In reality, we should be thankful every single day of the year, but the third Monday of May is the official day where we all come together to honor our fallen soldiers.
While Plato has said, (pause) "Only the dead have seen the end of war" We all yearn for the day; when the living sees the end of war as well.
And as sure and certain as the sun comes up tomorrow, we shall all know in our hearts and inner being; that the time is coming when mankind will no longer war among ourselves.
We can know this to be true, because our Almighty God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, tells us that in Micah chapter 4 and verse 3 and again in Isaiah chapter 2 verse 4. (Where it says)
And He (Christ) will judge between many peoples And render decisions for mighty, distant nations. Then they will hammer their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they train for war.
At the return of Jesus Christ, (pause) He, will usher in the kingdom of God here upon this earth that we live on. To be administered by Jesus Christ Himself, along with the chosen few elect, (pause) His saints, that have been selected and set aside to rule and to govern with and under Him for the next one thousand years, known as the millennium.
General George S. Patton was a great military leader, both of WW1 and WW11. General Patton arrived upon the scene at the precise and exact moment in the history of our nation; to be a large part of our victory over hostile enemies, and to fend off those intent upon taking away our freedom, and to enslave our peoples. As he fearlessly, with purpose and with tireless, unbounded energy, led our soldiers into battle, against the well-trained German and other enemy troops.
General Patton was a unique high ranking soldier that knew well, how to motivate those under his command. Quotations from General Patton instill in mankind yet today; courage, tenacity, bravery, dedication and the will to fight and to win for a great cause. General Patton has said, "better to fight for something, then live for nothing". Saying as well, "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived".
But in the future here on earth, under the rule of Jesus Christ, it will never include the killing and maiming of others made in the image and likeness of God. Only the peace of God will exist. Bloody men of war such as General Patton or King David will no longer be needed to lead armies into war, to litter, and to leave the battlefields strewn with broken and mangled bodies, (pause) choking and gurgling out their last breath of life as the vision of home and of their loved ones, slowly slips from their consciousness, heart and mind into the sleep of death and into oblivion.
However, those of great leadership skills will always be mightily used of God, for organizational Godly governing positions, within the kingdom of God. King David in spite of being a bloody man, a man of war, was also a man after Gods own heart. In Ezekiel 34:20-24 it clarifies that Christ will be Lord and under Him will be David as prince… My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd . . . And I, the LORD, will be their God, and My servant David a prince among them.
We all have so much to be thankful and grateful for. God has placed us here in a nation filled to the brim with milk and honey, where freedom yet reigns among our diverse peoples of many different cultures. Freedom is a wonderful thing; to be treasured and valued beyond measure. Other cultures and nations, if left to themselves, would take it all away. Let us not become complacent and take it all for granted. "What we have been given, can also be taken away". Suppose God should decide to examine us, how are we doing in His eyes, are we as a nation believing, practicing, accepting and following after His Word and His way, or do we need a correction? Are we beginning to lose our way as a Christian nation? These are things we need to reflect upon.
I would like to thank you all for coming here to give thanks to God, to pay tribute and to honor all of those before us and those that will come after us, with the courage, the bravery, the patriotism and love for country, those that have stepped up, (pause) and those that will again when and if needed and asked to do so, to defend our right to live as a free and strong nation under God, whose great and mighty name; we ask for His blessing upon our nation, a nation so badly in need; of your loving guidance and Godly direction, that we may turn to you and continue to receive your wonderful blessings. We give thanks and ask this all in the name of Your Son; Jesus Christ; Amen!
Please stand for a moment longer in silent reflection, honor and dedication to duty, to God and to country, As I conclude this day's memorial celebration of thanksgiving and gratefulness, by closing now with a taps bugle piece.

Hello, happy Friday everyone! I feel like this week went by really fast, but I'm not complaining!
A few days ago I spontaneously decided to completely reorganize my room. And I mean completely – I got rid of a bunch of things – everything's in a new spot. And I absolutely LOVE it!
I've found that every time I clean or tidy my room, I feel so much more motivated to be productive and actually get things done (crazy, I know). Even just putting up a few things on your wall and reorganizing your bookshelf or desk goes a long way.
If you're a hoarder like me, you know how difficult it is to get rid of things – especially clothes! But even tossing out or donating a few pieces of clothing that you don't wear anymore is so beneficial in opening up more space and letting air flow through your room.
[Actually – fun fact – when I was cleaning my room, I found my little Christmas tree and it's already up and lit in my room. And yes, I am aware it is still October haha (Click here for a throwback to fetus giraffeview talking about Christmas trees)]
Anyways.. to sum up this super cheesy and inspiring post, I think it is the best to keep it simple. By that, I mean don't add unnecessary clutter to your room. It only creates a bigger mess that future you will have to clean up later.
Thank you for reading my post! I know it was a bit different than usual, but I felt motivated to write about what was currently on my mind. Hopefully I could help you come up with some new ideas for your room or work space, and I can't wait to see you in my next post!
