Earlier this week, CoinDesk's Pete Rizzo reported on Gyft CEO Vinny Lingham's appearance at this year's SXSW conference. Lingham was featured on a bitcoin-related panel with Boost VC Founder Adam Draper, Chain Founder Adam Ludwin, and Changetip Founder Nick Sullivan. It was during this panel that the Gyft CEO announced his companies intentions to "tokenize" gift cards and issue them as colored coins on top of the bitcoin blockchain.
[Read More: TREZOR Now Colored Coins Compatible]
Issuing gift cards as colored coins
Colored coins are a way to tokenize bitcoins for other uses. For example, you could say that a particular bitcoin represents $1000 in a vault somewhere, a deed to a house, or in this case a gift card. Once you tokenize a bitcoin, the value that it represents can then be transmitted across the world in the same instant and secure manner as a normal bitcoin. Lingham noted, "We can use this technology to make sure that consumer gift cards are protected, that counterparty risk is managed, and that it's compliant."
How will this work?
At this point in time, it's unclear how Gyft will be implementing their colored coins-based solution. Coinprism and Chromawallet are two platforms that can be used to issue colored coins on top of the bitcoin blockchain right now, but it seems that Gyft may be creating their own solution. Lingham has let it be known that he's filed patents related to this new technology, which is currently in the research and development phase.
In reality, any company who wanted to issue a gift card on top of the bitcoin blockchain right now could do it with one of the currently available colored coins wallets. It should be noted that Lingham is an advisor to Chromawallet, so it wouldn't be surprising to see that particular colored coins project work closely with Gyft on this new concept; however, there is no indication that such a partnership has been created at this time.
A non-monetary use case for bitcoin
An interesting side note to this story is that colored coins are one of the main non-monetary functions of bitcoin that provide bitcoins with a bit of fundamental or "intrinsic value." One must own some bitcoins if they wish to issue colored coins via the blockchain, and transaction fees still need to be paid to bitcoin miners every time those coins change hands. There are many economists and financial pundits who believe that bitcoins are nothing more than digits on a computer screen, but these sorts of use cases show that the technology can be used for more than just moving bitcoins from one address to another.
[Read More: Some Non-Monetary Functions of Bitcoin]
Having said that, it's unclear if gift cards are the type of virtual good that need to be issued on a decentralized ledger. The distributed trust model offered by bitcoin is extremely valuable in certain situations, but that decentralization also comes at an added cost. On the other hand, outsourcing the security of the ledger is one of a few possibly overlooked advantages that Chromawallet's Alex Mizrahi (also known as killerstorm) has pointed to in the past. It seems that Lingham believes there are certain advantages to issuing gift cards on top of the bitcoin blockchain, so perhaps we'll have to wait and see what they come up with before jumping to any conclusions.

Le Parkour (1), 最初名為l'Art du Deplacement, 在1980年代Yamakasi隊的努力下, 成了今天的模樣. 不過練習 le parkour 可以追溯到歷史記載以前: 參考過很多不同的事物, 受到很多人物的影響, 於幾種傳統之中演化, 變成了現在的訓練方法, 叫作parkour 或是l'art du deplacement. 名字與標籤可以是變化不斷, 而當然, 運動的外表也轉變了, 改良了無數次. 不過, 無論在什麼潮流外表的背後, 其核心一直都長久不變 – parkour的方法, parkour的結果, parkour的訓練以及目標: Movement 移動.
準確來說,, parkour 是人體與環境互動的時候, 人體動作的改善. 這運動的目標看似是要用最快最流暢地橫越任何的地形, 有效率之餘, 優美而且精確. 可是, 說這是不拘一格的parkour訓練的唯一目標, 是下了個較狹窄的定義. 其實, 它就是要反抗這些狹隘的定義. 說le parkour的目標單純是 '由A 點走到B點' 的話, 會把上千的traceurs (2) 除名了. 他們都稱不上叫 traceurs.
舉個例, 很多練習者會說 le parkour 的目標就是要掌握人們自己的身體, 令動作更複雜, 整個身體都更靈活. 有些人練習只是為了健康, 要變得身壯力健, 而有些人就是為了樂趣, 他們能從小孩的角度重新去看世界. 很多練習者都有令人難以理解的原因, 例如他們想找尋parkour當中的哲理, 參透正確之 "道" 等等. 其實, 多數人都承認, 他們會同時追求以上幾個目標, 只是有時會特別著眼於某一方面.
當然, 很多運動和身體的動作練習可以說是同樣地追求parkour 複雜的目標. 決定性的分別在於訓練與集訓的方法. 在練習裡以及在實行的時候 – 兩種很不同的情況 – traceur 永遠都不會只訓練一個身體部份, 也不會訓練沒有最大用途的專長與技巧. 一個traceur 不會帶同有重量的, 或是笨重的器械來練習: 他只可以使用自己的身體. Parkour 首要的練習就是重複以及改善parkour 裡的動作, 加強一個人的柔韌度, 靈活性以及身體協調, 使肌肉紋理變得順暢, 神經肌肉更有效率. 不能太過著重於身體方向感覺的重要性, 因為這是可以從平衡, 夜行訓練 (可以是 'sensory deprivation缺感觀訓練'), 以及空間感覺鍛煉.
如此 '自然' 的訓練方法可以追溯到古時候部落文化的生活模式, 而第一個在體適能方面來研究部落民族的可能是George Hebert (1875-1957). 他在西方世界的體能訓練歷史上舉足輕重. 他驚詫的發現非洲土人有著自然給他們的體格, 可是他們沒有鼓勵或是硬要執行特別的 "訓練體系 training regimen" – Hebert 指出只要他們活在運用體能, 富有動感的自然生活之中, 他們就能成為神奇的人物, 具有超於正常的力量與靈活度. Herbert 提出的 '自然之道Natural Method' 現被視為其中一個parkour 的先驅. '自然之道' 在一個漸趨工業化的社會裡發揮作用, 提倡 " (對工業化的) 有機對抗, 增強肌肉強度與速度的優點, 從走路開始到跑步, 跳躍, 四腳爬行, 攀爬, 平衡, 投擲, 舉重, 自我防衛以及游泳." 沒錯的是,四腳爬行, 也就是將人的體重平均的分配在四肢上的爬行訓練, 是現時parkour 常用的熱身動作.
Parkour的練習者透過了解自己細微動作的每一個細節, 令自己的技能逐漸複雜化, 漸漸能在潛意識裡也能控制自己. 動作上達到流暢, 也就達到所謂的 'The flow心流狀態'. 這可說是parkour 的聖杯, 是難以得到的瑰寶. 'The flow' 就是將一個個的技能連在一起, 成為無間斷的一個動作, 是利用本能在任何地形上使出的動作. 最重要的是, parkour 不只是人們使用的一組技術 – 其實, 一個人在某地形上自行移動, 使用沒有預算好的動作的時候, parkour 就發生了. 這就似很多武術裡講求的 '沒有思考的流動 flow without thought'. Tracuer 要求自己能夠在任何時間, 在任何平面上都可以做到 '流暢' 的動作, 動作要優美而且要有效率. 於是他們會反覆嘗試去做出 '流暢' 的動作. 我們Parkour Coaching(譯按: 現已改名為Parkour Generation) 的人的確會常常提醒自己: 練parkour 沒有捷徑, 只有好的訓練.
從寧靜訓練 (stealth training) 與輕觸訓練 (lightness of touch)中, 可以見得到動作的效率是parkour 的重點. 我們在訓練時想 '製造寧靜', 令我們在任何環境之中移動, 不受注意而且不留痕跡. 任何玩parkour 的人很快就知道, 心靈對於人體潛能的控制是多麼的厲害. Parkour令我們注意到, 我們每一下動作都受到恐懼所阻礙: 可見parkour不只是講求體能, 而是講求心理以及情感.
當身體克服了恐懼, 減少了恐懼所帶來的反應, parkour 會令不可能的動作不只是成為可能, 而且看似毫不費力. 障礙物與欄柵在眨眼之間就能越過去. 人能順利地越過險要的地形, 而不受心裡的恐懼與焦躁所影響. 從前覺得是阻礙移動的障礙物, 現在在路上變成了移動的拍檔, 是幫助人移動的跳板.
在parkour 裡, 創新與適應是極其重要的. Parkour 經常被錯誤地形容為都市的運動或是藝術, 但其實parkour 教導人去調教自己的動作去適應任何的環境, 而任何的情況之下也如是. 練習者應該在已建地區練習, 也應該在郊區環境, 大石群中, 森林之中練習. 任何地方也有移動的機會. 教授parkour 的關鍵是要鼓勵人去找尋自己的方法去移動, 將自己的創意加在原本所學習的基本之上.
一個人的強弱要視乎一個人是否在任何時刻也都做到某個動作. 實際上, 意思就是說我們到在眾多訓練方法中要取個平衡, 令我們能夠保持一定情度的健康狀況與體格, 我們才能在我們有意慾或是有需要時做到某個動作. Parkour 真的是真真正正的紀律 (discipline), 讓練習者有一種新的方法去觀察以及與每一種環境打交道, 讓練習者知道環境裡移動存在著不同的機會, 評估自己使用了多少體內的潛能. 我們一定要不停問自己: 我能夠做到什麼? 我還差多遠才會做到某動作? 練習的目標就是要提升自己的生活質素, 讓我們在每一個動作或是活動之中都能夠獲益, 幫助我們去探索自己體內的潛能, 真正的使我們更強. 若一種訓練的方法是背離這個道理的, 便是在最基本的層面上也是不正確的.
很多新手都會感受到, parkour 涉及到一個人生活的每一個部份. 很多人都說他們 '真正開眼了'. 練習者很快便會用全新的, 沒有限制的方式去看待身邊的事物. 他們跳出了個框框, 發覺其實這世上從來都沒有這個框架. 他們發覺到一個人平日的動作是多麼的缺乏效率, 浪費力量. 他們學會如何正確地走路, 學會在多人的街道上盡量利用空位去移動, 學會預計以及避過在路途上的障礙物; 簡單來說, 一個人學會隨著生活的潮水, 更加和諧, 更加有益於自己, 令自己每天的動作都成為集訓與練習的延伸. 這不只是身體的改進, 其實心裡的思想也有改變.兩者是一起發生的, 不能分割.
我們都擁有極大的潛能, 能做出不平凡的動作. 我們生來就可以做到看似神奇的parkour動作. 事實上, 這些動作沒有什麼神奇 – 也沒有秘密的學習方法. 明智而勤奮的訓練, 加上定期的集中練習, 一定會令自己的潛能得到實現. 走上伸向四方八面的parkour道路, 你就走上了進步的路, 看不見路的盡頭.
(1) 新創的字 'parkour' 一詞來自法國的 parcours du combattant, 意思指 '戰士的道路', 也是原本軍隊式障礙訓練的名稱. 現在世界各地的軍隊也使用障礙場作訓練用途. Parcours (指 '路途') 這一詞演變後成了 'Parkour'. 為parkour命名一事, David Belle歸功於好朋友 Hubert Kounde. (譯按:曾擔演電影<無國界追凶>的法藉演員)
(2) 一個法國用詞, 原本是一群的練習者的稱呼, 叫 Les Traceurs. 這是由parkour的始創人David Belle 所組的團隊, 從 '子彈' 這字發展而來, 意思就是一個人要跟著自己的路走. 現在這詞被廣泛指所有parkour的練習者.]

Chinese translation by Daniel Wan
Le Parkour (1) , originally named l'Art du Deplacement, though crystallised into its current guise by the Yamakasi sometime in the 1980s, is a practice the roots of which precede records. It has drawn on a myriad of sources, been inspired by a number of notable individuals and evolved through several traditions to arrive at the modern discipline now referred to as parkour or l'art du deplacement. Names and labels come and go, of course, and the outward visage of this discipline has shifted and modified itself countless times. However, behind whatever appearance has been fashionable at the time, at its core there has always existed an eternal constant – the means, the end, the method and the goal of parkour: Movement.
Put as concisely as possible, parkour is the refinement of one's body movement during the interaction with one's environment as one progresses though it. One ostensible 'goal' of the discipline is to be able to traverse any terrain as swiftly and fluidly as possible with efficiency, grace and precision. However, to say this is the only aim of this broad-ranging and eclectic practice would be to place a rather narrow definition on something which, in actuality, tends to defy such definitions. This 'getting from A to B' designation would exclude thousands of traceurs (2).
For example, for many practitioners the 'goal' of the art is simply to master their own physical vessel, to sophisticate their mobility and improve their overall agility. Some practise solely for reasons of health and fitness, while others do it for the fun of recapturing a childlike view of their surroundings. Yet more walk the path for more esoteric reasons, finding philosophy and contemplating 'The Way' as they go. In truth, most would admit to pursuing a combination of all these goals while perhaps emphasising one aspect above the rest.
Of course, a wide range of sports and physical practices could also lay claim to the sophisticated goals that parkour lays before us. The crucial difference, however, between most of these and parkour is to be found in the training and practice methods themselves. Both in training and in practice – for the two are very different things – the traceur is never attempting to work any part of his body in isolation, nor is he ever developing anything other than the most functional attributes and skills. The traceur does not need to bring extra equipment or fad machinery to his sessions: his body is usually his one and only tool. The principal practice for parkour is to repeat and refine the movements of parkour, improving tensile strength, flexibility, and coordination as he goes, greasing the grooves in the musculature while increasing neuromuscular efficiency. The importance of proprioception cannot be overstated, and is constantly improved through balance exercises, night-training (read 'sensory deprivation'), and spatial awareness drills.
This 'natural' approach to training goes back to the lifestyles of ancient tribal cultures, perhaps first properly researched from a fitness perspective by George Hebert (1875-1957), a pivotal figure in the history of physical education in the West who was struck by the natural attributes of the indigenous peoples of Africa, among whom no specific 'training regimen' was ever encouraged or enforced – Hebert noted that merely leading their natural lives of physicality and dynamism produced incredible specimens possessed of exceptional functional strength and agility. His 'Natural Method', which many regard as one of the forerunners of parkour, was a means by which to reproduce these effects in industrialised societies by "promoting the qualities of organic resistance, muscularity and speed, towards being able to walk, run, jump, move quadrupedally, to climb, to walk in balance, to throw, lift, defend yourself and to swim." Indeed, quadrupedal movement – moving with one's weight evenly distributed between all four limbs – is a tool regularly used when warming-up in preparation for parkour.
Parkour practice encourages a gradual sophistication of attributes, through detailed specification as the traceur goes deeply into the intricacy of his movement, towards an unconscious mastery of his own abilities. To achieve 'the flow' in movement is the Holy Grail of parkour: to link skills together into a seamless, dynamic whole facilitating instinctual movement over any terrain. It is important to understand that parkour is not simply a collection of techniques – rather, parkour occurs when one is moving over terrain in a spontaneous and non-predictive manner, paralleling the 'flow without thought' of many traditional fighting arts. To have this capacity to move at any time, along any plane, gracefully and efficiently is what the traceur seeks. And he trains for it by doing it. Indeed, as we at Parkour Generations often remind ourselves: there are no secrets, just good training.
Efficiency, demonstrated through stealth training and lightness of touch, is central to parkour. We aim to 'make silence' as we train, to go unnoticed as we pass through any environment and to leave no trace of our passing as we go. And anyone who practises parkour soon realises just how powerful the mind can be in restricting one's own potential, as the art shines a bright spotlight on how much fear-reactivity hinders our every move: parkour is as much mental and emotional as it is physical.
And once this fear-reactivity is overcome, good parkour make impossible actions seem not only possible but also quite effortless. Obstacles and barriers are traversed in the blink of an eye, difficult terrain negotiated without the impediment of fear or anxiety, and what most would see as impediments to movement become partners and springboards along one's route.
In parkour; innovation and adaptation are crucial. Parkour is often wrongly described as an urban sport or art, when the truth is that parkour aims to teach the individual to be able to adapt his movement to absolutely any environment, and in any situation. Practitioners are encouraged to train in built-up areas as well as in rural surroundings, upon coastal rock formations, within forests and jungles; indeed, anywhere that presents the opportunity for movement. Parkour coaching hinges on encouraging individuals to find their own way to move, to add what is specifically their own creation to the fundamentals they learn from those who have gone before them.
Fitness must be measured in terms of one's ability to perform a chosen task at any given time. Effectively, what this means is that we must have balance in our training methods in order to maintain a constant and high level of health and fitness, so that we are able to act whenever we want or need to. Parkour is a truly holistic discipline that offers the practitioner a new way to observe and manage the relationships between himself and his every environment, encouraging him always to be aware of the possibilities for movement and to appraise his own ratio of capacity to potential. We must constantly ask the question of ourselves: just what can I do and how close am I to being able to do it? The goal of training is to improve our standard of living, to enable us to get more from every moment and every activity, to help us explore our innate potential: To make us more capable, in the true sense of the word. A training method that detracts from this in any way is flawed at a fundamental level.
Parkour, as is commonly noted by newcomers, reaches into every aspect of one's daily life. Many voice this as 'having their eyes opened'. Practitioners soon come to look at their surroundings in a completely different and unfettered way. They step outside of the box and find that, in fact, there is no box nor ever was one. It raises one's awareness of the inefficiency and wasted effort that accompany most of one's everyday movements. One learns to walk properly, to maximise the use of space on a crowded street, to foresee and avoid obstacles on a journey; in short, one learns to flow with the currents of life in a more harmonious and beneficial manner so that your very daily activities themselves become an extension of your training and practice. This change comes about as much mentally as it does physically for, of course, the two are inextricably interwoven.
We all harbour immense potential for extraordinary activity. We all possess the innate ability to move with the seemingly superhuman attributes that Parkour develops. The truth is, of course, that there is nothing superhuman about these activities – and there are no secrets either. Diligent, intelligent practise and focused, regular training willbring about the realisation of this potential. When you walk the omni-directional paths of parkour you are on a road of self-improvement to which there is no end in sight.
(1) The invented word 'parkour' originates from the French parcours du combattant, a phrase meaning 'course of the fighter' which was the original term for the military-style obstacle courses now used by armed forces around the world. From parcours, meaning 'course' came the altered 'Parkour'. David Belle credits his friend Hubert Kounde for having coined the word.
(2) A French term that originated as the name of a group of practitioners – Les Traceurs – consisting of several of the original French practitioners including Stephane Vigroux, David Belle, Johann Vigroux, Seb Foucan and Kazuma. Derived from the word for bullet and meaning someone who follows his or her own way, it is now widely used in reference to all practitioners.

Word of God Speak [Part 1]
Are you ready for some good news?
The Word of God is supernatural and, therefore, like no other book.
Today's Text: "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12, ESV)
The Bible is God-breathed. It is the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
It is the primary source for the greatest art in the history of the world and it is the inspiration of the finest music ever composed.
Its verses are etched literally into the columns and corridors of our nation's capitol.
This book has been deemed so powerful that it is used in secular courtrooms as the proof of honesty when a witness gives his oath. It is the symbol of integrity when the President of the United States is inaugurated.
It has been reckoned so influential that both Hitler and the devil misused it. It has been viewed so threatening that religious aristocracies have kept it from ordinary readers and governmental agencies have kept it from entering country borders.
It has been banned and burned and its translators killed; and through it all, the Word of God stands.
It is life-giving, imperishable, and incorruptible.
It is utterly timeless and yet always timely. It is incomprehensible to the proud but readable to the simplest child.
The Bible may be criticized; it may be misapplied. It may be debated, hated or rejected, but one thing is for sure – it cannot be ignored because it is the best selling book of all time.
It is the Word of God. It is alive and will not die. And that's the Gospel!

Help us keep families together
Right now, on the U.S. border, thousands of children have been forcibly separated from their families as they attempted to migrate to the U.S.
But this is not just happening in the United States.
Separation from families, caused by migration, is happening all over the world.
In fact, nearly 30 million children globally are displaced from their homes and communities, as they flee violence and persecution, escape poverty, and seek freedom and safety. Their journeys are often dangerous and threatening, with some children making the journey alone without their parents, or others forced to separate from their parents. Refugees and migrants often go missing with large numbers being kidnapped, trafficked, abused or murdered.
With your help, we can tackle dangerous child migration
Family for Every Child is a group of children's charities from across the globe, working together to build a world in which every child can grow up in a loving and supportive family. Family separation as a result of migration is a key challenge that we are working to address.
'Children on the Move' is just one of our projects around the world for which we are urgently asking for your support. It will help us build solutions to the violence impacting children and families so no one is forced to flee their home. It will also support us in finding ways to protect children from the abuse, exploitation and threats facing them on their journeys; as well as ways to support the children that arrive in their destination country to stay with their families. The project is led by our members in Mexico, Guatemala and the United States.
Elsewhere, across Africa, Asia, Europe and Australasia, our member organisations are working both to tackle the root causes of forced migration; as well as providing programs and policies to support families to stay together for those who have already made the move to a new country.
Help us tackle dangerous child migration by making a one-off or regular donation today, and you'll be changing the future of children and families around the world.
Our promise to you
Our vision is a world where every child can grow up in a safe and caring family.
With your support we have helped changed the lives of many vulnerable children and their families – that will always be our priority.

Fear of Bees and Wasps which is collectively known as the Melissophobia. Fear of Wasps has another name as Apihobia. Melissophobia or Apiphobia is the irrational fear of the honeybees.

Better then picture
I was worried with choosing my wheels because you can't see them in person. I ended up choosing these over the fuel Mavericks and boy am I happy with these. They look even better in person and make the Jeep look much better then stock wheels. Highly recommend anyone who is considering these!Helpful (1)

Mammoth Type 88
These wheels are awesome! Love the option to customize the trim color. The only downside are the center caps. They just snap into the wheels. Not sure how secure that are. I did have an issue with a couple of center caps that had been damaged during shipping or packaging, but customer service took care of it and sent new ones.Helpful (1)

Looks good, great price
Good looking wheel especially for the price. I had ET mount and balance them on wome tires and they came out great. The only thing i didnt like is the stock lug nuts do not fit the in space provided on the wheels. Had to spend about $40 for some lug nuts for all 5 wheels.Helpful (1)

Looks great for a budget wheel
I went with these cause they looked good and they are quite cheap. Work great except the insides scratched fairly easily when they got some mud on them. Also the hub caps snap in so they break very easily.Helpful (2)
Does the backspacing keep 315 x 70 x R17 tires inside stock 2016 JKU fenders with a 2 inch lift? Also, load capacity seems a little low. Thanks
Hello, on the Mammoth Type 88 Black Wheel - 17x9 (07-17 Wrangler JK) if you put a 315x70R17 tire on it it will come outside the stock Fender a bit.
Do the OE tpms sensors get on these rims?
The Mammoth Type 88 Black Wheel is compatible with OEM TPMS sensors.
Hello.What is the exact weight of 17x9 ?
This wheel will weigh 23 pounds.
Is the center cap removable? I have a tag relocation bracket which has a bar that extends through the center of the spare.
Yes, the center cap can be removed.
Will the 16" wheel fit on a 2019 Wrangler?
At this time we only offer wheels larger than 16" to clear the brakes. At this time we do not offer a set of 16" wheels that will clear the JL brakes.
The 16x8" Mammoth Type 88 Black Wheel has a 0mm offset and the 17x9" Mammoth Type 88 Black Wheel has a -6mm offset.
The both the 17x9 and 16x8 are 23 lbs.
The center cap item number is J103181.
This Mammoth wheel in the 17x9 model would have a 4.7" backspacing.
Yes, the Mammoth Type 88 Black Wheel will work fine with a stock tire carrier.
The pieces would need to be removed and painted on the Mammoth Type 88 Black Wheel. We do not offer them in different color options at this time.
We do not have the Mammoth Type 88 Black Wheel in a 18' wheel, solely a 16" or 17" inch at the moment, which can be viewed here: https://www.extremeterrain.com/search?keywords=Mammoth%20Type%2088%20Black%20Wheel&page=1&Generation=2007-2017&Subcategory=Wheels&VehicleType=Wrangler .
With a stock JK you can run up to a 33x12.5" tire with these wheels with no clearance issues. The taller and wider the tire the beefier the look will be, I would choose something aggressive. If you would like to discuss what is best please give us a call or chat in to pick out something that would work for you. The inserts are removable with an Allen key and can be prepped and painted yourself or by a paint shop. We do not currently offer the inserts pre-painted.
The Mammoth Type 88 Wheel has a 4.7" backspacing meaning it sits out about 2" more than the factory wheels allowing them to clear a wider tire like a 33x12.50. A 285/70/17 = 32.7x11.2/17 is a fairly narrow tire, the set up should not sit out much past the factory fenders, if any.

weather update
Chaplain: You wanted to see me, General?
Patton: Oh, yes, Chaplain. I'm sick and tired of Third Army having to fight the Germans, the Supreme Command, no gasoline, and now this ungodly weather. I want a prayer... a weather prayer.
Chaplain: A weather prayer, sir?
Patton: Yes, let's see if you can't get God working with us on this thing.
Chaplain: It'll take a pretty thick rug for that kind of praying.
Patton: I don't care if it takes a flying carpet.
Chaplain: I don't know how this is going to be received, General. Praying for good weather so we can kill our fellow man?
Patton: I assure you, sir, because of my intimate relations with the Almighty, if you write a good prayer, we'll have good weather. I expect that prayer within an hour.
Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee of Thy great goodness to restrain this immoderate weather with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee, that armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory and crush the wickedness and oppression of our enemies and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen.
The weather's perfect. Cod, get me that chaplain. He stands in good with the Lord, and I want to decorate him.
--General Patton, the day after the Weather Prayer worked
Ohio State has its Buckeyes.....
- Attack early and often. Against Iowa And Wisconsin, we brought pressure multiple times from the LBs rushing outside the DEs. It worked wonders.
- Create turnovers
- Justin King will reestablish himself. Word on the street is that he is still trying to shake off the shoulder injury he incurred from the ND game.
- Sciorotto pulls a Lowry and intercepts Boeckman in OSU territory. PSU fake pitch D-Will off-tackle right, Morelli to Golden for a TD.
- Maurice Evans snorts tiger blood; De-spleens Boeckman.
What I pray for on offense
- Morelli keeps up his play. Just solid quarterbacking.
- With the loss of Hahn, I just don't see us going for over 120 on the ground. If we do, we win.
- Keep it to two turnovers or less, none inside our 30.
- Keep Lawlor in the backfield for blocking. We are depleted on the line with Lucian and Shaw being questionable for the game.
- No short passes over the middle.
- MRob to be on the sidelines (SF is in their bye week).
Special teams
This is the Achilles heel for the Buckeyes. They know it, we know it. We need a big play on special teams. This can be in the form of Kelly not missing a kick, or Wallace/King giving us great field position. It can even be just not letting up a big return. I just know we need something out of them this week akin to last week, sans the lengthy Indiana punt return.
I have no clue how these teams are going to react to each other. It is nice that PSU has adopted a less-conservative approach in the last 3 games, but the fact that Illinois and Indiana both put up points on us still unnerves me. Will PSU continue to pass on first down? Will we try to pressure Boeckman? Will our O-line be able to hold back the formidable OSU front 7?
My random, clueless predicitons
OSU has 4 false start penalties. Anthony Morelli goes 24-40, 210 yds, 2 TDs, 1 INT. Kinlaw/Royster go for 145 yards on the ground. Penn State wins the battle of the LBs again.

More on Evans
Monday, October 22, 2007
Indiana Wrappup
The Good
- Anthony Morelli, the offensive line the running game. Jay and Galen have these guys firing on all cylinders, and the play calling still is refreshing. The only caveat here is the 3 FGs in the second half, all from the goal line. Do NOT make FGs a habit within the ten yard line. Look what happenned to the Eagles yesterday.
- We won a close game on the road. We have accomplished neither of those two this season.
- Maurice Evans. This guy is an absolute terror. And is a sophmore.
- The rest of the d-line. No pressure from anywhere but Evans.
- Our defensive strategy. They passed 48 times. I would say 24 of them, we played the run. As a result, Indiana aired it out and torched us.
- Justin King. He got straight beaten. I understand that he was covering a 6-7" force of nature, and the QB had the brains to throw the jump ball (a la the Randy Moss method), but he is relying on just his presence near the receiver to discourage the pass attempt in his direction.
- We finally got the full-blown injury bug. Losing Hahn could be a devastating blow for the running game. Additionally, he is a senior, and he shredded his ACL. That is not the way for a guy who plays so hard to end his career. It just isn't fair.
- Losing Odrick with a broken ankle for the season. 6'5" DTs with ability are rare. Luckily, we have very competant reserves in Abe Koroma, McKeown, etc. Additionally, he will be back next season.
- The reffing. Or as all call it, "The Effing".

Reiki at the Haelan Centre
Reiki is the Japanese word for 'Universal life energy'. It helps people to move towards balance and wholeness. It's a Japanese healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes the natural healing processes of the body and restores physical and emotional well-being.
It's a simple, natural and safe method of healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.
The method of receiving Reiki is simple. The recipient remains clothed and lies on a couch or sits on a chair and relaxes. The practitioner gently places their hands in a series of non-intrusive positions on or near the body. There is no massage or manipulation and the whole person is treated not just a specific area. You may or may not feel sensations. The sessions take about an hour.
The benefits of Reiki may include deep relaxation, calmness and a peaceful sense of well-being. Some people feel sensations of heat, tingling or see colours, whist others can have an emotional response, indicating that shifts are taking place, allowing harmony to be restored.
Cancellation Notice - If you are unable to attend then please give a 24 hour cancellation notice or you may need to pay a cancellation fee.

Should I carry a flashlight everyday?
Our world has become more and more dependent on artificial illumination. Just one day without it is intolerable. This leads some to ask: Should I carry a flashlight every day?
Yes, your cell phone makes for a poor flashlight. You should carry a keychain light all the time and a mid-sized flashlight whenever you expect to need more illumination.
Why your phone makes a poor flashlight
Many people think that having a cell phone that can operate as a flashlight is all the light they need for their everyday carry. But that is far from the truth. Actually, you are cell phone it makes a very poor flashlight for the following reasons:
1. Not bright enough
First off, your cell phone just isn't very bright. The average cell phone puts out about 50-80 lumens which for a flashlight is pretty weak. You might think that the flash on your cell phone would produce hundreds of lumens but that's not the case. Cell phones cannot sustain that bright flash, you would destroy your phone very quickly if you had the full flash effect on for any length of time. Instead, to protect their phones, the cell phone companies greatly reduce the lighting power of your cell phone.
2. Not focused enough
Secondly, a cell phone light is very broad. It's not focused at all and so it doesn't throw a tight beam and it doesn't throw light very far. If you need to see something further than a few feet away you're out of luck with a cell phone light.
3. Inconvenient to handle
A cell phone is designed to hold close to your face. It is not designed for you to hold it out to illuminate an area. If you try to do this in an unfamiliar area, you're likely to bump into something or to stumble and then you will either drop the phone or you use your hands to protect yourself and as you reach out you'll smash the phone into something. And as you know most cell phones are not designed to be smashed into things.
4. Eats battery too fast
You can practically hear your cell phone battery huffing and puffing away as it lights up a few feet in front of you. And what happens next is that your cell phone battery is dead, now you can't make any calls and you don't have any light. And that's why you should use your cell phone as a backup light and not as your primary light.
What do you need a flashlight for?
Now let's consider all of the opportunities you have for using a flashlight and the reasons why you might need a flashlight in those circumstances.
1. Look under at stuff in the daytime
Firstly, you might want to look under your desk or under the sofa. There are 10,000 things in your house and in your office and if something falls down on the floor, you may need extra light in order to find it. This is a great time to pull out your trusty flashlight and quickly find what you're looking for.
2. In the attic/basement
Your attic and the basement are rarely well illuminated and when you are looking inside boxes and around nooks and crannies and corners, it's great to have a real flashlight with you. In your office, you might need to go above the ceiling panels to work on some wiring or some other kind of problem. If you have your flashlight in one hand, you can then do your work with the other hand and avoid making a bigger problem than the one that you're trying to solve.
3. In the car
Having a flashlight with you or at least in your car is absolutely mandatory. It's not only helpful when you have to leave your car and move around at night or in the dark parking garage. It's also really useful if you're looking at some map or looking for something that's falling down in your car with car seat car well. How many times have you dropped something in the car and had to wait until you got to a restaurant or gas station to look for it in the better light?
4. Around the neighborhood
A flashlight is great to have a night even when you're just going around your own neighborhood. Street lights are nice but they don't create uniform lighting and the same with house lighting when you walk around your house things are not equally well lit. It's much safer and more convenient to carry a flashlight with you and you can provide your own lighting where the Environmental Lighting is poor.
5. In nature
A flashlight is absolutely essential when you're going out into nature or at night or even if you're just going through a park. Nature is poorly illuminated. So when you're passing through a park or a natural area, you really want to have a good flashlight with you. It will not only ensure safe footing for you, it will illuminate the eye line, so you don't walk into the branches of a tree or a big spider web.
6. Blackout
Having a flashlight during a blackout will provide you with a lot of confidence. Even though your home or your office is intimately familiar, that's only when there is lots of light. We quickly become disoriented, confused, and nervous when we can't see what we're doing or where we're going. Thus, having a flashlight with you allow you to be able to orient yourself exactly where you are and exactly where you need to go. This is especially important if you're using some emergency exit that you're not familiar with. Plus, with a flashlight, you can get stuff done while you are waiting for the power to return. Light is power.
7. Disaster
Having a flashlight during a disaster could save your life and can save the lives of others too. Whether it's a blizzard or a flood or hurricane or terrorism a flashlight could make all the difference. First off, since hardly anybody does bring their flashlights when you pull out your flashlight you become the natural leader of any group you're in. With your access to light you can easily assemble other people together into a group and then you together can take appropriate action.
8. Waiting for help
Even if you're unable to escape, if you're unable to get out of danger, if you have to wait for assistance, you can still use your flashlight to signal for help. A flashlights battery will last for hours in many settings. Many flashlights have distress settings with a flashing light and some of them have multi-colored lights. This makes it much easier for people to find you in the dark.
9. Nonlethal self-defense
There are many places where it's illegal to bring a gun or a knife, it's perfectly legal to bring a flashlight. While a knife or a gun makes a better weapon, there are times when you want a non-lethal response.
The first element of self-defense is to identify threats. A flashlight allows you to identify threats from a good distance and it will allow you to see if they're carrying a weapon or have hostile intent. Plus you can use it to quickly scan an area to identify how many threats you may be dealing with or you can use it focused on one narrow area and search in great detail for someone who may be hiding.
The second element of second defense with a flashlight is that a bright light will discourage many people from attacking you. Most troublemakers don't want attention to their actions so they like to avoid light. A bright flashlight beam tends to repel threats just by itself. And if these threats continue towards you in a threatening way, flashing them with a bright light in the eyes is going to strongly discourage them from closing in with you. A strong flashlight of 350 or 500 lumens will momentarily blind them. This will allow you to escape or perhaps launch an attack.
And finally, a flashlight is excellent at repelling threats. You can use your flashlight to strike somebody. BE careful, if you hit them in the neck or the head, it could be lethal. If you strike them in the leg they won't be able to run for a while, so you could easily run away from them. Or you can strike them in the arm and they will drop whatever weapon they're carrying. Certainly, if you expect to use your flashlight as a weapon, you should train with it, just like you would train with any weapon.
What kind of flashlight do you need?
Here are the advantages and disadvantages of the most common every day carry flashlights.
- Cell phone
- advantages: always on hand
- disadvantage: expensive, fragile, eats batteries, not powerful
- Key chain light:
- advantages: cheap, always on hand
- disadvantage: not powerful
- Mid-sized flashlight
- advantages: powerful, long-lasting, defensive capability
- disadvantages: bulky, heavy, may not be on hand
The recommended choice is to always carry a keychain light. You can just forget that it's in your pocket until you need it. Then when you expect to need more light carry a mid-sized flashlight in your pockets or a carry bag. This will allow you to be prepared for whatever lighting problems you face.

After what seemed like an eternity, the footage of Markelle Fultz's newly formed jumper has arrived.
The former No. 1 overall pick was one of the biggest storylines of the '17-'18 season when the jump shot that cemented his place in the top spot of the draft was seemingly gone.
Fultz sat down with former University of Washington star Isaiah Thomas to talk about a whole bunch of topics for the Players' Tribune series "For The Record." In the 17 minute video, the two spoke about their time at UW, their draft experiences, their rookie years, and more.
But as Beast Mode once said, you know why I'm here.
150,000 jump shots and endless teasing of Fultz's ability by trainer Drew Hanlen has led us to this moment to break down what we see from the clips scattered throughout the video.
*Please note: I am not a shot doctor and have never claimed to be. These are just some things I noticed.*
The good:
Markelle Fultz is shooting again. That is good.
His shots are going in. Again, that is good.
But seriously, there has clearly been a significant improvement since he dropped former trainer Keith Williams for NBA training royalty in Hanlen.
He appears to have done away with the form from the right side of his face that made NBA Twitter cringe and returning is the stroke from the front of his face.
His footwork remained square and consistent throughout the jumpers seen in the video, which is a nice change from the shots from last season where critics couldn't tell if Markelle was making fun of Amir Johnson's form or taking lessons from him.
In most clips, the shot looks far less pushy than before. Whether this was a mechanical issue or a strength issue from what Fultz has adamantly said was an injury, it looks promising that NBA range will not have a big influence on his shooting.
The bad:
Camera angles work in mysterious ways, but from what we were given, the form looks inconsistent. This could simply be a matter of different moments in the timeline where adjustments were made over the summer.
We have clips like this with a high release point:
And we have clips like this that are reminiscent of the pushiness we saw in shots from the end of 2017:
We also have this close-up where it looks like his guide hand might be blocking his shot:
There are also zero clips of Fultz taking shots off the dribble, something that a team lacking shot creators desperately needs to see. For him to be the fit next to Ben Simmons the Sixers hoped he would be, being able to break down a defender and pull-up at any moment is key and we have yet to see any of that.
Last but not least, the ultimate caveat of any video you see on the Internet, editors are very good at their job. Give me a summer and Adobe Premiere and I could make it look like I've never missed a shot in my life.
Let's be honest though, no matter what kind of "bad" we pull from this video, it's still infinitely better than what we saw from his first few games in a Sixers uniform.
The verdict:
The footage is a relief. Markelle appears to have regained the strength and confidence to take NBA three-pointers, a skill-set desperately needed alongside Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid. While it's far from perfect, the prospect of the Hesi Pull-up Jimbo returning to the bright lights is exciting for Sixers fans and fans of good basketball.
With training camp around the corner, the real story will be how the shot looks with the media flocking to him like prey. The editors won't be nearly as gracious with their portrayal of his shot (as showcased last season), so the real verdict could come this weekend. This won't be the last time we hear this story.

…is the capital of Latvia - Riga. The weather is cold even for April. Snowflakes flying. But the beauty of the city is breath-taking. Around almost every corner you find completely different architecture, colours, and atmosphere.
My boyfriend and I have been planning a city break for awhile now, and this time we decided to go for a place we have never been before. Somewhere less likely to go when thinking of going on holiday. Exploring and discovering new cities, cultures and cuisines is always exciting, especially when it's done with your partner in crime!
…is The Redstone Boutique Hotel, situated right in the heart of Old Riga. The most stylish and Instagrammable hotel I've ever seen! The building consists of 11 suites with varying categories from Prestige Superior to Royal, and Imperial Suite. Each one bespoke designed, inspired by the art, historic and cultural heritage of Old Riga.
|Redstone Boutique Hotel, Skarnu Street 11, Riga, Latvia
Can you imagine my surprise when I opened the door of our room (we were in the Royal Suite) and the most beautiful and aesthetically pleasant pink interior appeared in front of my eyes! Pink walls, pink doors, pink furniture, even a pink air conditioner!! In addition to that: massive panoramic windows in each room (including the bathroom!) with a beautiful view to the Old Town, chocolates left on the pillows, stereo music coming from the ceiling installed speakers in every room, and a Nespresso coffee machine only for me! (Fil doesn't drink coffee.) Ultimate goals!
…was as Instagrammable and amazing as the interior! The breakfast is included in the package and it's served in bed (literally) between 7-11am. You pick the time. What Fil and I tried (and I'd recommend) is the granola with blueberry and yogurt, the cheese selection with homemade bread (so delicious!) and the omelette with cheese. As for drinks, I had freshly pressed orange and Fil had apple juice.
It's really hard to compare Riga to other places we've been to. As I said, each street transports you to a different world! The different parts of the Old Town reminded us of Amsterdam, Paris, London, Berlin, Milano, Corfu (in Greece) and even Sofia (in Bulgaria). So impressive!
The other thing to notice is the colourfulness of Riga! I've been to so many places, but I don't remember seeing such an artistic and colourful city before. Each building is painted in a different shade, it's hard to see a plain white one. Even the cobbled streets were deeply coloured!
We flew with Wizzair from London Luton Airport and the flight took around 2 hours. This time we went for the Wizz Plus option which includes Speedy Boarding and a up to 32kg bag in addition to your cabin one. I've never been sat in the front of the aeroplane before and I didn't realise how much of a difference it makes! If you've been reading my blog for awhile or following me on Instagram, you'd probably know how much I love to travel! However, what you probably don't know is that I have a very sensitive stomach and get very "travel sick", so the actual transportation is the worst part for me in every trip. This time though, I am not sure if it was the front seating factor or the lack of stress when it comes to packing, knowing that I have enough space in my big suitcase and not having to worry about fitting everything in my small cabin bag, but I felt much better. The flight went quick and was a pleasant one!
If you're lucky enough you can get a flight with Wizzair from London to Riga for as little as £22.99.
The currency in Latvia is euro. Fil and I exchanged £100 to have for food and transport in Riga, and that was enough for our weekend stay.
The taxi from the airport to the hotel (11km disctance) was 12 euro.
Here's my pro-tip: before visiting a new place, I always spend some quality time in reading through TripAdvisor and writing down the best (and most affordable) activities and restaurants around where we stay. This way we can try as many new cuisines and explore as many sides as possible without having to spend a fortune. It's a big money and time saver, especially if you travel on a budget like us.
This was my list of "must try food places in Riga": Folkklubs Ala Pagsabs, B Burgers, Spitaki, Food Box, Ezitis Migla, Terra Restoranti, Picas Meistars, and Big Bad Bagels.
I'd totally recommend the Big Bad Bagels. Super yummy bagels and fresh smoothies on great price!
|Big Bad Bagels, Maskavas street 4, Riga, Latvia
We had an incredible weekend! It was indeed the city break we needed. Isn't it incredible that we live in time that allows us to travel to so many places in the world, and within just a couple of hours you can be in a complete different place, with different sights, different people, and a whole new experience?!
Where shall we go next? Any recommendations?

Hey, mademoiselles! It's been awhile since my last post, but if you're following me on Instagram, you'd know that I've been travelling and it was so hard to keep up with all my social medias at the same time. But I'm back on track now, so let's talk fashion!
Done with polka dots for now, moving to stripes 😁💕Are you more of a POLKA DOT or a STRIPES person? 🤔 _______________________________________ #influencer #blogger #savinaofficial #stripes #pink #londoninfluencer #londonstyle #ootd #bulgarianA post shared by STYLE BLOGGER / INFLUENCER (@savinaofficial) on
I asked you on Instagram, are you more of a POLKA DOT or a STRIPE person, and the majority of you replied Stripes, so in today's post I wanna show you how I personally like to style stripes (check the pics above) as well as my favourite colour and garment combinations when it comes to this trend.
If you'd like to see more inspo, here's my Pinterest board too. Feel free to join it and spread the stripe love across the universe.
Now let's get started!
What I'm wearing…
STRIPES + NEUTRAL COLOURS (black, white, nude, taupe, grey)
STRIPES + PASTELS (baby pink, lilac, mint, peach)
STRIPES + STRIPES (big YES to stripy suits and two-pieces!)
Let me know how do you wear stripes in the comment form below! xx

Globrix post on an article from the Daily Mirror entitled 'Wrongmove' which may have even more agents up in arms.
Not only is Miles Shipside quoted as saying that:
"It costs an average £1 a week per property to be on our site." He goes on to compound the damage by adding:
"It's a shame that some estate agents aren't able to spend that small amount to reach the widest possible audience in these tough times."
This smacks of a politician's spin. How would Daily Mirror readers be expected to know that rightmove charge per branch, per month and not per property? Indeed, this is hardly a statement of support in times of trouble and I expect will infuriate many agents.
This also begs the question (and I will ask at the expo if I get the chance) if a per property cost is a metric put forward to defend rightmove's position, does this mean they will provide an option to agents to advertise per property at a reasonable rate??!!

Rightmove is wrongmove
Posted by Property Owl at 07:48
1 comment:
It's a terrible quote as it sounds like he regards the agents with contempt and it just confirms Rightmove's arrogance.
Unfortunately, he is also probably right.

TEST YOUR MIGHT! Quiz #1: Spoken Word Sections in Pop Songs
Posted by Andrew Unterberger on August 3, 2007
Pop Quiz, Hotshot
We got a new weekly tradition brewing here at Intensities in Ten Suburbs, that of the weekly weekend (weekendly?) pop culture quiz. Each week will be a 10 or 20-question exam on a different pop culture category or theme, some taken from training quizzes sent to or from my WSOPC teammates, some taken from further Adventures with Audacity, some just inspired by whatever movie or TV show I'd been watching that week. In any event, if you feel like proving your PC prowess, e-mail me your answers at email@example.com, before Sunday night at Midnight. Haven't determined what the prizes will be for the winner quite yet–want to see how many people, if anyone, bother to submit answers first.
So here are lyrics to 20 popular songs of the last three decades, lyrics which are part or all of the song's spoken word section (as well as the year in which they were first released). Name the title of and artist behind the songs in question.
1. "Yeah, we're runnin' a little hot tonight…I can barely see the road from the heat comin' off of it…Ah, you reach down, between my legs….ease the seat back…" ('84)
2. "You can do anything you set your mind to, man." ('02)
3. "I'm not about to go and cheat on you, just like you did…But baby, that's all right, hah, I love you anyway. And I'm still gonna be with you until my dying day. Right now, I'm just in so much pain, 'coz you just won't come back to me, will you? Just come back to me!" ('92)
4. "And this is by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do. To tell you, the woman I love, that I'm about to have a baby, by a woman I barely even know. I hope you can accept the fact that I'm man enough to tell you this, and hopefully you'll give me another chance. This ain't about my career. This ain't about my life. It's about us. Please…" ('04)
5. "Now, usually, I don't do this, but, uh…gonna go 'head and break 'em off a little preview of the remix…" ('03)
6. "Like I always say…what's good for the goose…is always good for the gander." ('85)
7. "When the doctor told me I was gonna, um…I was gonna have a metal plate in my chin…I said, 'Doc, don't you realize I'll never make it on the plane now? It's bad enough I got all this jewelry on.'" ('03)
8. "Now come on, what was I supposed to do? He was out of town, and his two friends were sooooooo fiiiiiiiiine……" ('96)
9. "You know what I'm saying? I got every dog in the neighborhood breaking my door down. I got Spuds MacKenzie…Alex from Stroh's…" ('89)
10. "Honey, check it–tell your friends…to get with my friends…and we could be friends. Honey, shit, we could do this every weekend! A'ight? Is that a'ight wit you? Yeah…keep bangin.'…" ('94)
11. "Get crazy with the cheese wiz!" ('94)
12. "C'mon girls! Do you believe in love? 'Coz I got something to say about it! And it goes something like this…" ('89)
13. "C'mere baby…you know you drive me up the wall, the way you make good on all the nasty tricks you pull…seems like we're making up more than we're making love. And it always seems you got someone on your mind other than me." ('93)
14. "Hey now ladies…we're gonna break this thing down for just a few seconds. Now don't have me break this thing down for nothing! I wanna see y'all on y'all baddest beahvior! Lend me some sugar, I am your neighbor!" ('03)
15. "Good heavens, Mrs. Yakamoto–you're beautiful!" ('82)
16. "Ring the bell, school's back in, sucka!" ('90)
17. "Darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand…Creatures crawl in search of blood, to terrorize your neighborhood…" ('82)
18. "Wooh, yes sir. I give to the needy…and not the greedy. Uh-huh, that's right. "Coz you see, baby…when you're lying…YOU'RE LOSING! AND I'M OUT THE DOOR!" ('92)
19. "All right…I got something to say! Yeah, it's better to burn out…than fade away!" ('83)
20. "You know, I used to dream about this, when I was a little boy. I never thought it would end up this way…DRUMS!" ('02)
And yes, I am of course well aware that the questions on this quiz are very easily googleable. I, however, choose to have more faith in IITS's loyal and honest readers than that.

Why should you use us for Stagehand Labor?
Finding qualified stagehands can be a difficult process. At In Depth Events, we carefully interview, select, and train stagehands to be valuable members of a crew. After working at In Depth Events, our people have gone on to become successful touring hands, engineers, and riggers in their own right. We pride ourselves in finding talented, motivated people that are interested in becoming 1099 subcontractors in our industry.
Texas stagehands are different from the rest of the nation – our people work in extremes of weather, heat and cold in at outdoor events that are hard to understand for people that don't usually work in this area. Because we own so much of our own staging and outdoor rooftops, our people are trained to handle heavy equipment for real events. For us, working in an air-conditioned, indoor ballroom is a vacation.
You'll find In Depth Events stagehands to be well-trained, on time, and professional. We dress appropriately to the gig and bring the appropriate PPE to every show. If you need real hands that truly understand the meaning of "The show must go on", then contact us today!

NJ Investment Adviser Allegedly Used Investor Funds to Pay Gambling Bills, Radio Host is Accused of Bilking Investors of Over $5M in Ticket Resale Scheme, & Pennsylvania Man Pleads Guilty to Felony Charges
NJ Investment Adviser Accused of Stealing Over $1M from Clients
The US Securities and Exchange Commission has brought investment adviser fraud charges against Scott Newsholme, a New Jersey-based financial adviser and tax preparer, accusing him of stealing over $1M from clients so he could support his lifestyle and support his gambling. According to the regulator, Newsholme generated fake account statements and "doctored stock certificates and forged promissory notes."
Prosecutors have filed a parallel criminal case against him. Rather than invest clients' funds in different securities as promised, Newsholme allegedly went to a check-cashing store to cash their checks and then kept their money for himself to cover his own expenses and gambling activities, as well as make Ponzi-like payments to the clients who wanted their money back.
Radio Host Accused of Stealing Millions of Dollars in Concert Ticket Scheme
Craig Carton, a sports radio host, is accused of running a concert ticket scam to bilk investors. According to the SEC's complaint, he and Joseph Meli, another man whom the regulator had already filed charges against earlier this year, touted blocks of face value tickets to concert performances that were in demand and promised investors high returns that would come from ticket resales and their accompanying price markups.
Instead of purchasing the tickets for resale, contends the regulator, the men allegedly misappropriated at least $3.6M to pay back earlier investors and pay for other costs, including Carton's gambling debt. Carton is also accused of stealing another $2M by persuading a concert venue to send an investor's funds to a bank account owned by his company. Now, the Commission wants disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, interest, and penalties against Carton, Meli, and six businesses under their control. Meantime, the U.S.Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York has filled parallel criminal charges against Carton.
In the SEC's case against Meli, he and another man, Mathew Harrington, are accused of operating a Ponzi scam in which they raised funds for businesses supposedly focused on buying and reselling tickers to popular shows, including the Broadway show Hamilton. Aside from allegedly making Ponzi-like payments to earlier investors using newer investors' funds, the two men are accused of diverting nearly $2M to their own spending.
Investment Adviser Accused of Costing Investors $800K Pleads Guilty
Kevin Brown, a Pennsylvania investment adviser, has pleaded guilty in a criminal case accusing him of selling unregistered securities that caused investors to suffer $800K in losses. Brown, along with his father, George B. Brown, settled a civil case brought by the SEC in 2015 accusing them and entities they controlled with running three multi-million dollar offering frauds.
The Commission accused them of raising $50M from over 300 investors and using their money for other than what was authorized, including making Ponzi-like payments and undisclosed and unrelated business expenses.
