I had been doing CrossFit for only 6 months when I convinced my boyfriend of 2 months to entertain buying our gym with me.
Yeah, I know… What a terrible idea that was going to be, right?
Fortunately, it turned out to be one of the best things that happened to us. But I won't say any of it was easy.
I was completely out of my element, both in my budding relationship with Lee and at the gym, where I was still figuring out what "WOD" stood for.
Let me break that down for you.
We engaged in a pretty hefty legal agreement mere months into our relationship, unknowingly committing to working through the journey of both our personal relationship and business partnership simultaneously.
To add insult to injury, I'm a mighty introvert, completely comfortable keeping to myself. So to a pretty established group of members at our gym, the thought of the two of us taking over the gym as brand new gym owners probably seemed like a train wreck waiting to happen. I won't lie.
What these circumstances aggravated, though, was one of the biggest things I struggled with as a gym owner: impostor syndrome.
The feeling that I didn't deserve to be here.
Whether or not you've experienced it yourself, impostor syndrome is real.
It's so real that I've asked multiple business owners how they handle it. We'll get to those insightful answers later.
What is impostor syndrome?
In the book The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women, the authors explain that impostor syndrome is when people have a "persistent belief in their lack of intelligence, skills, or competence. They are convinced that other people's praise and recognition of their accomplishments is undeserved, chalking up their achievements to chance, charm, connections, and other external factors. Unable to internalize or feel deserving of their success, they continually doubt their ability to repeat past successes."
Although the book title is directed toward women, impostor syndrome affects both men and women. Feeling like a "fraud" is not specific to a gender.
Why do we get impostor syndrome?
Many people of different backgrounds experience impostor syndrome, but these feelings are commonly associated with "introversion, trait anxiety, a need to look smart to others, a propensity to shame, and a conflictual and non-supportive family background."
Regardless of where it comes from, many of us deal with impostor syndrome. Here are some personality types that go hand-in-hand with impostor syndrome, outlined in the previously mentioned book:
- Perfectionists
- Experts
- Natural genius
- Soloists (people used to operating without help)
- Supermen/women
Oh, you mean everything most gym owners are? Yup.
If you come from a background of success and high expectations, and you have continued to place those high expectations on yourself, there's a good chance you're at-risk for experiencing impostor feelings from time to time.
Why is the recognition of impostor syndrome important?
One of the most heart-breaking things to see as a business owner is when other business owners fail. There are a number of reasons this can happen. On top of any external factors business owners have to battle with, they also have the internal hurdles they have to overcome.
There are almost 23 million Google results for "entrepreneur mindset" and for good reason. A small business owner's mindset is equally important to his/her success as everything else.
Dealing with impostor syndrome as a business owner, or really anyone trying to be successful in life, can be debilitating. It can hinder the success you achieve, and, as a Forbes article mentions, leads "to professional isolation, a demoralized spirit and missed opportunities."
Fundamentally, if you're grappling with impostor syndrome, you don't believe in yourself. Recognizing that you're dealing with a psychological challenge that may not accurately reflect reality (read: you've got more to offer than you give yourself credit for) will allow you to overcome impostor syndrome – not let it overcome YOU.
What can you do to alleviate impostor syndrome (and start having more success)?
1. Take Action
When I posed this question to a fellow gym owner, and a pretty successful one at that, he responded with this:
"Just do it anyway. You'll quickly figure out that you have every reason to be there and that most people aren't even attempting what you're doing."
I am inclined to agree. Anytime I was worried about my ability to do something, I found that actually doing it was way easier than dealing with my fears prior to it. Dealing with impostor feelings and overcoming them by taking action can make taking action seem like a cakewalk compared to how badly you thought it was going to be. How's that for a silver lining?
In fact, I've gotten to the point where if I'm fearful of something, I already know it will certainly not be as bad as my imagination predicts.
Being in a constant state of doing is a great way to stay agile, giving you the confidence to get back in the arena, again and again. This confidence will minimize any latent impostor feelings you're hiding.
2. Accept Imperfection
My good friend and fellow entrepreneur said something to me when I was getting Almost Elite launched, "Done is better than perfect," and it has stuck with me ever since.
Oftentimes perfection is the enemy of good enough. You have to trust that although you do not know everything and will probably do something imperfectly, EVERYTHING WILL BE OK!
You will survive. And more likely than not, you'll do a little better than just "done" and actually do well.
3. Pivot
This is another great lesson I took away from my conversation with the successful gym owner I mentioned. In line with dealing with self-doubt when executing, he said, "So what if it doesn't work out? So what if you reach a dead end? Pivot. Keep pivoting. Don't give up or stop. Adjust and keep moving."
The biggest difference between those who are successful and those who aren't is that unsuccessful people stop.
Successful people don't not fail. They just adjust, then they keep moving forward.
As you keep pivoting, you will eventually figure out what works and you will find success. And as you continue to accumulate success, you will gain confidence in yourself and grow a track record of reasons why your impostor feelings are flat out lying to you.

I Think My Taste Buds Are Broken
Anyway, lattes, specifically caramel lattes were probably originally created by the hands of God. Full of deliciousness, caffeine, and hey, that milk makes it count as breakfast, right? (Pretty sure the calorie content makes it count as breakfast...)
At home however, and here at New. U., I don't have "dining points." I have this stuff called "real dollars" and sometimes "handfuls of change" that smarts a bit more to spend then dining points, as I had technically already bought the dining points, and as long as I didn't think about my massive student loans I was guilt-free.
So while I have no problem walking into a coffee shop and paying with all change (a girl's gotta get her fix) it's much easier to just make coffee at home. Now, there may be a way to make lattes on your own with some kind of equipment, and if there is and you know it, comment and tell me about it, please. Because my attempts have all pretty much failed.
But anyway, back to coffee. Just plain coffee, with a bit of creamer. I love the smell and taste of coffee, so it's not like I was forcing something down that I hated. I have grown accustomed, for the most part, to this form of feeding my addiction.
Yesterday, I went to a coffee shop. I had a white chocolate caramel latte. Sounds delicious, right? And it was. BUT it almost tasted too...sweet? flavorful? calorie packed? I don't know, but it didn't seem quite right.
So in typical me fashion, I am a tiny bit concerned. I'm the latte girl! I live for those things! And now when Fiance and I go into a coffee shop I'm going to stop annoying him with my dessert beverages and just say "coffee" like he does? What is this world coming to? The only bright side of this is that when I am with Fiance I won't feel obligated to pay for my overpriced beverage myself. Actually...maybe that's enough of a bright side?
Any other coffee addicts out there? No way it's just me...I hope.

I LOVE coffee, cappuccino and lattes! YUM! My favorite at Starbucks is their Low Fat Caramel Macchiato! Of course, I usually add a little bit of Splenda and creamer to it because I'm an 'extra cream and sugar' kind of girl!
We have a really good friend who can make a caramel macciato. He makes them every week at our church small group meeting. They are so yummy. I'm not real sure how he does it but I Googled it and found these instructions:
If you just Google 'how to make latte', you can find a ton of answers.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

You need expensive equipment to make a good latte.
A latte starts out with espresso. Without an espresso maker? You could fake it. Brew up real strong coffee.....10 scoops of coffee to 1 cup of water. Next you need a frother to steam and froth the milk. No frother? No stainless steal pitcher? Okay....best you can do is heat up 1 cup of milk (stir constantly so as not to scorch or burn)to just boiling and begin to beat with electric beaters until frothy. In a cup, mug, what-have-you, put a jigger of the STRONG coffee and slowly add in the milk. If you want a flavored latte you can add the flavoring to the strong coffee before you add the frothed milk.
This is by no means a true latte, but when desperate..... :-)

It might be a bit complicated or confusing when trying to get the tina4php interface onto your browser, so I've created a step by step guide to get these things working on your machine:
1.) Download WAMP server here
2.) Open wamp server (an icon will appear in the taskbar, bottom left corner).
3.) Click on wamp icon in taskbar, go to PHP, go to PHP extensions, enable phpsqlite3
4.) Download tina4php files from the sourceforge project.
5.) Copy tina4php files into www folder under wamp under C drive.
6.) Open your browser.
7.) Go to localhost/?interface=Developer
8.) A page will pop up asking for an username and a password, username: admin , password: admin
(these steps take you to the tina4 interface where you can code and fiddle around.)
I hope this proves useful to any who struggled to get stuff working, if any other problems arise, feel free to ask on the software academy group: email@example.com

Great day in the morning!!! (What does that even mean?) The Seinfeld DVDs are here! I'm bursting, Jerry! I'm bursting!! Is anyone half as excited as me? (The Autumn Of Seinfeld)
I had originally thought about going over to Huntsville to get mine at Best Buy, because I heard they are giving out some sort of bonus DVD with like the first 150 sold at each location. But I think I will just go to Wal-Mart and pick up the gift set. Remember, if your friend, family member, or significant other is a big Seinfeld fan, these make great Christmas gifts. They're perfect for Festivus, too ;-)
In other news, Jerry is supposed to be on Live With Regis & Kelly this morning, and Julia is supposed to be on The View today, although I have never seen that show and don't know where it comes on. Hmmm, DSL and Seinfeld DVD's? I may never leave the house again.

Baseball, softball teams fall short of winning seasons
June 2, 2016
The Generals lost many seniors, leaving the team full of underclassmen and unable to defend its division title, while the softball team fell short of the improvement it made last season.
The team qualified for the state tournament but lost its first game against Shabazz 8-5, May 23. This is the sixth year that the baseball team has qualified for the state tournament.
Coach Joshua Aronowitz said he began the season with high expectations.
"I wanted to win that fifth [division] banner, win a county game and go deeper in the state tournament," Aronowitz said.
Before the season started, the team lost many potential starters, according to Aronowitz, leaving the team with one senior, Elvin Soto, and many young players who took on the roles left behind.
"Being the only senior feels good. I feel more pressure because I have to step up and set a good example for the other team members," Soto said.
Sophomore Joshua Leonardo, who started off as a second baseman and then moved to shortstop and sometimes pitching, is an example of the team's individual progress throughout the season, Aronowitz said.
"I liked my team, we were full of good players, but there was no bond in the team. If the bond wasn't there, we weren't winning," Leonardo said.
Freshman Julian Moosh is a promising player with lots of speed and a great arm who usually hits the strike zone, according to Aronowitz.
"When [Moosh is] focused, he can be one of the best players out there," Aronowitz said.
Although the team's record for the season was 4-16, they are a team with much potential, according to Aronowitz.
"The team is considerably young, lacks maturity and needs to grow up," Aronowitz said.
At the beginning of the season, six seniors left the team, leaving the responsibilities to the junior members.
"We did lose a lot of potential returning starters; some didn't want to play anymore, and some just had bigger plans with others following," Aronowitz said.
Senior Dishawn Gates said that some of the players left the team due to other priorities.
"By the time the season started, I already had a job, and I didn't want to give it up since I worked on it for a while," Gates said.
With the season ending, Aronowitz said the team "just needs more experience."
"We need to make more routine plays. We aren't holding the division title for the first time in four years, but we will try harder from here on out," Aronowitz said.
The softball team finished the season 6-14, down from last year's record of 10-12. The Lady Generals qualified for the state tournament but did not get past the first round, losing to Lincoln 0-7.
Junior Noel Roundtree-Vargas, who has been the team's catcher for three years, said she has mixed feelings about the team's standing.
"I feel that we [were] not doing so good as in terms of winning, but I feel that at least we [were] trying, but you know you are gonna have your wins and you are gonna have your losses," Roundtree-Vargas said.
Senior Angel Rodriguez, pitcher, said that senior night was good, despite losing to Lincoln.
"After the sixth inning, a lot of errors occurred. We did have a tight defense, enough to keep the score even till the sixth inning," Rodriguez said.
Junior Kayla Diaz said this year was her best year, although there are some things that she would like to change. Diaz finished the season with a .280 batting average.
"Kayla improved over the year; she has the mind of wanting to get better, so she definitely got better over the year," senior Jamilet Leonardo said.
Diaz also said that she would like the coaches to have more confidence in the team because she feels like they often want to give up on the team at times.
The team finished the season with athletic director Michele Bruce as coach and social studies teacher Aldo Grullon and gym teacher Nicholas Morris serving as assistant coaches.
Bruce took over when former coach David Yura decided to step down from the position.
"The girls successfully worked hard this season, developing and improving their own skills," Bruce said. "It was evident that the older girls were taking a leadership role with the newer players."
Leonardo said she feels sad to leave the team.
"I grew a bond with the teammates and became more of a family than just teammates," said Leonardo, who played third base and often pitched. "We could have done better."
Leonardo said that many of the younger players have grown and matured throughout the year.
"All of the freshman who tried out, they are very dedicated and they tried their best," Leonardo said. "They can definitely have potential for getting better for next year and they will be prepared for next season."

Nigerian Doctors set to commence indefinite strike nationwide
The Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, on Monday announced plan to embark on an indefinite strike, starting from Tuesday, July 1.
The NMA President, Kayode Obembe, who made the announcement at a news conference in Abuja, said the decision followed the expiration of a two-week ultimatum it gave the Federal Government to meet its 24-point demand.
Mr. Obembe, said the association opted for a "total and indefinite strike" at an emergency delegates meeting held on June 28, after negotiations with the federal government failed to yield relevant results.
"The NMA is taking this painful route because our silence and gentle approach to these contending issues have been taken for granted," he said. "We have to take this action in order to save the health care delivery system from anarchy that is palpably imminent."
He appealed for understanding, and called on Nigerians to prevail on the government to meet the demands.
The NMA president read out an open letter addressed to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation in which the association listed the 24 issues it wanted the government to address.
The letter, entitled, "Minimum End Point for Restoration of Sustainable Sanity in Patient Care in Nigerian Hospitals'', was jointly signed by Mr. Obembe, NMA Secretary-General, Adewumi Alayaki,and all heads of its affiliate bodies.
Some of the major issues include reserving the position of chief medical director to only medical doctors, appointment of Surgeon General of the Federation, passage of National Health Bill and providing security for doctors.
The NMA also wants "increase in duty, hazard and specialist allowances, as well as budget for residency training programme".
It called for the reintegration of its members into the IPPIS platform, and reserving the title of consultants to only medical doctors, among others.

Best Cold Beer and Broasted Chicken ~ in Oregon
You came to the right place if you like cold beer and broasted chicken! My husband and I connoisseurs of broasted chicken, so far we have tried chicken all over Oregon. My husband loves beer so, he is the expert in that dept. Many chicken recipes have tantalized our taste buds, and there is an elite few that we believe is best tasting broasted chicken in Oregon. Will get to that, but first lets talk about broasted chicken and ice cold beer.
Sometimes, after a long day at work or a hot summer day, it is nice to have ice cold glass of beer sitting in front of you, if you want it cold try The Bohemian Tavern in Cottage Grove, they put their glasses in the freezer, and the beer in the cooler is rotated so its always cold. A little further south in Drain, Oregon is a little place called the Rose Garden it has some great Broasted Chicken! Travel to Springfield, Oregon and stop off at The Pourhouse Tavern they have some great broasted chicken, the atmosphere is friendly and the staff are quick to get you what you want. On your way up the Mackenzie river pass on highway 126 You will see a placed called Ike's Pizza, Ike's not only has great pizza they also have Broasated Chicken it is a fun place to stop off on your way to Bend. Ike's chicken is really good cold too. They are family owned and operated, so you get the real deal here.
In Bend, a fun place to go hang out and have a cold beer and broasted chicken is at Grover's Pub and Pizza, their chicken is fresh northwest grown, and marinated. Yummy!
Over on highway 58 the 7.5 miles from Willamette pass ski area, your will find the best broasted chicken ever. It is called Manley's Tavern, people actually drive over the mountain just to get this stuff! My husband says instead of calling the town Crescent Lake, they should call it Manley's, Oregon. Manley's chicken is only the best while still hot, and it is some of the best chicken we have had in Oregon!
In Medford, Terry's Place has some pretty tasty broasted chicken they also have non breaded chicken for people who need gluten free. Terry's Place highlights a BBQ pork sandwich that's really good too.

In Portland, The Pink Feather Restaurant and Lounge has been around for over 60 years, they are well known for their chicken.they also play all in Hold 'em on Monday nights. The lounge is a happening place, and they have karaoke too.
Pyzanos Lounge and Grill in Beaverton has really good broasted chicken, it's a busy place, but well worth the wait. Mostly they feature their signature cal-zone and New York style pizza.
My sister lives in Salem and she says the Alibi Inn,has some tasty broasted chicken,they have been around for 35 years and with an estimated 2 million in sales each year, I think they are doing pretty good!

Hi Mindy
The oil type pressure cooker is a special cooker, so never try oil under pressure in your ordinary pressure cooker!
So now I am hungry AND thirsty. lol
It all sounds fantastic.
I have a 'Chicken Pot' deep fat/pressure cooker my sister gave me years ago. Problem is, the manufacturer took them off the market suddenly and with no explanation, so now I'm reluctant to use it.
Great Hub Mindy!

See if this sounds familiar:
Mom: "Johnny, please put the bag of chips back in the kitchen."
Johnny: "I wasn't the only one eating them! Why do I have to put them away? It's not fair!"
Not the response you were hoping for.
Or, consider this:
Johnny: "OK mom," (and he does it).
Obviously, much better.
Your kids receive many parental requests each day. They will develop some type of habit in responding to those requests. Generally speaking, they will develop a habit of either "fast listening" or "slow listening."
Fast listening is when your kids respond with respectful words and respectful actions. For example, when you ask them to brush their teeth, they can say "OK" and do it, or they can respond with a respectful question or comment.
Slow listening is when your kids respond by ignoring, arguing, defiance, or any response that is disrespectful.
Bad habits often start small and grow bigger. Occasional instances of slow listening gradually become more frequent. If you let them go unchecked, you can have disrespectful kids on your hands before you know what hit you.
If you want to teach your kids to be respectful fast listeners from the very start, here are a few ideas that will help:
1) Review fast listening. Sit down with your kids and explain what fast listening is (see above). Give them a few examples of how fast listening will sound and look to a typical parental request.
2) Require fast listening. When you ask your kids to do something, expect them to respond respectfully, or in other words, to fast listen. If they don't, remind them in a warm but firm way. I call this "on the spot coaching." Do what you can to help your kids make the right response.
3) Reward fast listening. When your kids respond respectfully to a parental request, let them know that you noticed and appreciate their effort to be respectful. Warm, encouraging positive feedback from a parent can go a long way in helping your kids develop good habits.
4) Respond to slow listening. Finally, when your kids slow listen, respond immediately. Your response should clearly communicate that slow listening is not acceptable. You may give them a chance to correct their response, as I described in #2 above. You may use a Time Out or other negative consequence. But respond you must, if you want your kids to learn the lesson that slow listening is a one-way ticket to nowhere.
Fast listening is simply a respectful response to a parental request. It is a habit that you definitely want your kids to develop. The fact is, your kids will develop many habits as they grow up. Make sure fast listening is one of them.
They'll thank you for it.

Hemp, a versatile plant genetically related to marijuana but with none of its psychoactive effects, can be grown freely in the Garden State under a bill Gov. Phil Murphy signed into law Friday.
Unlike the drive to legalize marijuana in New Jersey that stalled in the spring, hemp is enjoying a resurgence not seen in this country since Founding Fathers used hemp paper to draft the Declaration of Independence.
In December, President Donald Trump signed legislation taking hemp off the controlled substances list, where it had sat since 1970.
That opened the door to states looking to take advantage of the crop as a source for textiles, fodder for animal feed and the foundation for a popular array of wellness products.

Tell them of the great story, the great invitation, the great kingdom, and the great king. (3)
Some will not accept the invitation, but your part is to do the inviting. Some will decide not to enter, but it is your part to make them aware, and to give them the chance to decide for them self. (4)
Continue to do your part in response as I draw men and women to me. I have issued the invitation, and now it is your part to deliver the invitation. Invite them to enter into my courts. Invite them to my family. Invite them to the greatness and riches I have for everyone. My heart burns for them the same as it burns for you. My heart desires to have all come to me, so none would perish.
I am sending you out this day as my messengers, for there is much to be accomplished in these days ahead. Go! Tell them of the good news. Share with them your testimony, your history, and what lies in store for your future. Tell them the goodness you have experienced, and the joy and happiness afforded you in all things. (5)

Psalms 28:1 {A Psalme of Dauid.} Vnto thee, O Lord, doe I crie: O my strength, be not deafe toward mee, lest, if thou answere me not, I be like them that goe downe into the pit. Psalms 28:2 Heare the voyce of my petitions, when I crie vnto thee, when I holde vp mine handes towarde thine holy Oracle. Psalms 28:3 Drawe mee not away with the wicked, and with the woorkers of iniquitie: which speake friendly to their neighbours, when malice is in their hearts. Psalms 28:4 Reward them according to their deedes, and according to the wickednes of their inuentions: recompense them after the woorke of their handes: render them their reward. Psalms 28:5 For they regarde not the woorkes of the Lorde, nor the operation of his handes: therefore breake them downe, and builde them not vp.
Psalms 28:6 Praised be the Lorde, for he hath heard the voyce of my petitions. Psalms 28:7 The Lorde is my strength and my shielde: mine heart trusted in him, and I was helped: therfore mine heart shall reioyce, and with my song will I praise him. Psalms 28:8 The Lorde is their strength, and he is the strength of the deliuerances of his anointed.
Psalms 28:9 Saue thy people, and blesse thine inheritance: feede them also, and exalt them for euer.

Anthony's Vibrant Slaw of Fennel, Carrot & Cabbage with Passion Fruit Dressing
I always try to chuck away as little food as possible and slaw is a great way of using up leftover vegetables. In this slaw of fennel, carrot & cabbage I list these vegetables, but you can throw in any number of other vegetables and it would still taste great. This dish is inspired by my time in San Francisco working at a market teaching kids to cook. The produce out there was incredible, so you always try and keep it simple and let the produce shine through.
First, prep the veg and put them in a big bowl: you want to cut the red cabbage into long thin strips and do the same with the fennel (keep the sprigs of fennel leaf to the side to garnish). With both it can be easiest to cut them into quarters and then slice. With the carrots you can either prep them with a knife into long thin strips or simply grate them.
Moving onto the dressing: simply combine the juice of a lime, the contents of two passion fruit, the honey/agave, and a pinch of salt, and whisk together with a fork.
Before serving, thoroughly mix together the veg with the dressing in a big bowl, then add the chopped mint and give it a final mix. Place the sprigs of fennel on top to garnish the dish.
If you want to add a little kick you can chuck some thinly sliced chilies through it or add a little ginger juice to the dressing.
Let the kids make this dressing – they're going to love juicing the lime, scraping the passion fruit pulp out from its skin and measuring the honey. They can also grate the carrots and pick the mint before getting their hands involved mixing the slaw together.

Conor McGregor Faces Criminal Charges After Bus Attack in New York
Shocking scenes broke out earlier this week in New York after a media event, ahead of UFC 223. The UFC's most prolific fighter Conor McGregor and his entourage, lead an attack towards a coach packed with professional fighters.
The 29-year-old Irishman is said to have been enraged after his close friend and teammate was on the end of an uncomfortable confrontation. Rival Khabib Nurmagomedov, along with his team cornered his friend, Artem Lobov. It believed that they were asking for former UFC lightweight champion.
In what was a brave show of loyalty, McGregor amongst others stormed into the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, going on to smash the coach of Khabib. A trolley was initially used before then attempting to do further damage with a metal barrier. Needless to say, the man who became the first UFC star to have possession of two world titles simultaneously, reacted in chaotic fashion to his friend being singled out. After the awful events broke out, several fighters that were primed to be in action at UFC 223, unfortunately, had to withdraw. This was a result of the injuries which were sustained after the attack.
Fighters Michael Chiesa and Ray Borg both suffered injuries, severe enough to keep them from action Saturday night. Chiesa picked up several facial cuts, whilst Borg sustained an eye injury. As a result, they've also been pulled from the event.
Lobov was originally scheduled to fight in a featherweight contest against Alex Caceres. This is now, no longer the case after the Russian was pulled from the event. He was among the substantial number of assailants helping McGregor.
Well respected MMA reporter Ariel Helwani, tweeted on Thursday comments that were made when he spoke to Khabib. The following was said: "I am laughing inside. You broke window? Why? Come inside. If you real gangster why don't you come inside? This is big history gangster place. Brooklyn. You want to talk to me? Send me location. I am going to come. No problem.
I just spoke to @TeamKhabib. Story coming.
"I am laughing inside. You broke window? Why? Come inside. If you real gangster why don't you come inside? This is big history gangster place. Brooklyn. You want to talk to me? Send me location. I am going to come. No problem."
— Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) April 5, 2018
It seems that Khabib was far from impressive by the actions taken from McGregor. There had been a lot of rumours in past months that perhaps the two may fight and settle their differences in the octagon. But that may now be completely off the UFC's agenda. McGregor, hasn't featured in the UFC bout before he turned his attention to boxing, where he fought with Boxer Floyd 'Money' Mayweather. Now, his long-awaited return looks to be in Jeopardy.
When speaking with ESPN, UFC President Dana White questioned whether McGregor's actions may have affected his business attraction. He said: "Do you want to be in business with Conor McGregor right now? Do you want to chase this guy around for interviews and buy his fights? Do you? I don't think anybody is going to want to right now".
The American also made it clear in a press conference that McGregor would be stripped of his title. White confirmed the news by saying: "The only one that's losing a belt here is Conor. Conor is losing the belt. These two are fighting for the belt".
Following the incident on Thursday, McGregor and his accomplices fled the scene. Leaving no option but for there to be a warrant issued for his arrest. He later voluntarily turned himself into the police, where he was arrested, then charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief. The judge demanded a bail of $50,000 and set a court date of June 14 2018.

The Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA), a big labor union of construction workers, filed comments on Feb. 28 largely supporting OSHA's proposed standard governing confined space entries in construction. Many safety organizations, including ASSE, had done the opposite, saying the standard is unnecessarily complex, ignores important consensus standards, and would not improve safety in the construction sector.
LIUNA General President Terence M. O'Sullivan expressed his support in an article published in the union's LifeLines Online magazine. "In general, we think the proposed standard, though long overdue, is a good one," said O'Sullivan. He submitted comments after a review of the proposal by the Laborers' Health and Safety Fund of North America, a venerable safety organization. "We especially highlight one of its unique provisions: Not only workers who are directly involved with the confined space, but also anyone else who may be in the area (other workers, subcontractors, etc.) must receive confined space training. This is because about 60 percent of all confined space fatalities are 'would-be rescuers' -- heroic people, usually co-workers, who enter confined spaces in attempts to save those who have been overtaken by the hazards. In the process, they are overcome as well,' O'Sullivan said.
He did not offer unqualified support, however, urging OSHA to include fire and crush hazards along with engulfment among the physical hazards defined by the standard and agreeing with other critics that the standard diverged from the simpler classification scheme of the confined space standard for general industry. "I believe the proposed rule will be confusing and not feasible in the construction industry. The general industry standard, with two classifications, either permit-required or non-permit-required, is sufficient. Adding two additional classifications may cause more harm than good, leading contractors to ignore a rule they find to be too complex." And O'Sullivan asked OSHA to clarify who has the responsibility for summoning rescuers. "Rescue and emergency procedures should be part of a required written program. All workers should be trained in proper rescue and emergency procedures." He also said the standard should require contractors to designate competent persons.
The owners of this country want you to keep watching American Idol while they steal our American dream. Open your eyes!

Andrew Quinlan CA
Regional Manager – Victoria & Tasmania
Regional Chair Update
The Federal election has been called and combined with the recently handed-down budget, we seem to be set for an interesting few months in the accounting landscape.
One of the big talking points to come out of the budget was tax cuts, with both Treasurer Josh Frydenberg and Opposition Leader Bill Shorten promising similar short-term relief to people with taxable incomes between $45,000 and $125,000.
Longer term, there are substantial differences between the two major party's policies and it will certainly be interesting to see how Tasmania responds.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Andrew Quinlan to the role of Regional Manager for Victoria and Tasmania. Andrew previously held the role of Deputy Regional Manager and is a familiar face for many Tasmanian CA ANZ members with a great understanding of the state. Andrew, I know I can speak on behalf of the Council in saying we are all looking forward to working closely with you again.
Our most recent Tasmanian Regional Council meeting was held on Thursday 4 April at the Salamanca Inn and we were joined by our new Young Observer, Jake Norris, CEO of Hansen Orchards. Welcome Jake!
Lee Whitney, CA ANZ's Group Executive for Account Management shared an update on the structure and role of Account Management, more about the CA Catalyst initiative, how "Community" style events are being leveraged to engage groups of employers or members in regional areas and some of the product and service review that is currently underway.
We were also joined by Simon Hann, CA ANZ's Group Executive for Education and Learning who shared an update on the CA Program, the work that is being undertaken in developing a Capability Framework for CAs, the future of the CA Program and the status of Flexible Entrance Pathways.
The meeting concluded with discussion around a Member Town Hall roadshow that is being planned for the North West, North and South of the state in mid-August and so please keep an eye out for invitations to the events closer to the time. We are very interested in your views so it would be great to see you at these Town Hall events and please also feel free to share any feedback ahead of the events.
Please also feel free to share any feedback ahead of the events.Email us

Al-Azhar Islamic Center: Terrorist Acts Not Related to Islam
Deputy of Egypt's Al-Azhar Islamic Center Abbas Shouman underlined that acts of terrorism perpetrated in the name of Islam have nothing to do with the religion.
He made the remark in a seminar on combating terrorism, adding that it is everyone's duty to stand up against terrorists, al-Misriyun daily reported.
Shouman also underlined the role of scholars and thinkers to guide the youth and prevent them from falling into the trap of extremist and terrorist groups.
Egypt has witnessed a series of terrorist attacks recently.
On Thursday, suspected fighters fired a barrage of rockets and set off a car bomb in a series of attacks in Egypt's North Sinai province, killing at least 26 people.
Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, the Egyptian affiliate of the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group, claimed responsibility for the attacks that struck the provincial capital of El-Arish, the nearby town of Sheik Zuwayid and the town of Rafah bordering the Gaza Strip.

The video in which Baek Hyun, a member of EXO's unit group EXO-CBX, took care of a fan is a hot issue on the Internet.
My heart just dropped at Bacon's sweetness···
On April 22, Baek Hyun met his fans at a fan signing event of EXO-CBX. As a fan comes a bit closer to Baek Hyun, a guard holds his arm out, trying to block her.
As Baek Hyun saw this, he stopped the guard like he doesn't want the guard to mind the situation. His mouth saying "Don't block her now" could also be spotted.
Then, his eyes changed instantly as he looked into his fan's eyes and continued conversing with her.
A fan who went to this fan signing event also said "I felt so uncomfortable because the guards were blocking me even though I bent only a little bit. We know touching is prohibited so please give us a break."
Baek Hyun has a nickname of 'daddy' because he always takes a warm care for his fans. Many fans who saw this video are responding "There's a reason he's called a 'daddy'."

"Everyone at the Table" – Why a National Food Policy in Canada matters to us
Canada has a new road map for a more sustainable food system with the passing of A Food Policy for Canada on June 17th. The national policy's broad vision sets out to ensure all Canadians have access to enough safe, nutritious and culturally diverse food, and that our food system is resilient and innovative to sustain the environment and support the economy.
The Government received feedback from 45,000 Canadians during its pulic consultations and summarized its recommendations for further comments. The Bruce Grey Poverty Task Force submitted our comments on the policy – Canadian Food Policy PTF Response_30 Aug 2017.
The Budget 2019 included a funding line for food policy that allocated $134 million dollars for specific initiatives, as well as announcing federal leadership towards a National Healthy School Food Programme.
The policy builds and is inter-related with other Federal initiatives like the Heathy Eating Strategy, Canada's Food Guide, and the Poverty Reduction Strategy, as well as work on food fraud, food labelling, and food loss and waste, among others.
Our Bruce Grey Food Charter reflects many of the same principles that are endorsed in the policy.
What is the policy?
The Food Policy for Canada will allow for improvements within our community. This policy will ensure that all people in Canada are able to access a sufficient amount of safe, nutritious and culturally diverse food. Canada's food system will be resilient and innovative, sustain our environment, and support our economy. In Canada, our food is held to a high standard, and we know that these improvements will help in many ways.
The Food Policy for Canada will establish 4 areas for near-term action, including: 1) Help Canadian Communities Access Healthy Food; 2) Make Canadian Food the Top Choice at Home and Abroad; 3) Support Food Security in Northern and Indigenous Communities; and 4) Reduce Food Waste.
- Investments – 134 Million under Federal Budget 2019:
- Local Food Infrastructure Fund, $50 million – To support a wide range of community-led projects (eg., greenhouses, community freezers) that aim to improve access to safe, healthy, and culturally diverse food.
- Northern Isolated Community Initiatives Fund, $15 million.
- Buy Canadian Promotion Campaign, $25 million – To promote Canadian agricultural products thanks to a new Canada Brand, and through online and in-store Buy Canadian marketing campaigns.
- Reducing Food Waste, $26.3 million – Working with experts to develop a challenge to fund the most innovative food waste reduction proposals in food processing, grocery retail, and food service.
- Tackling Food Fraud, $24.4 million – To aid CFIA in cracking down on mislabeling and misrepresentation of food products.
- Canadian Food Policy Advisory Council – An advisory council to the government will be formed with diverse expertise and perspectives to address the complex issues of the food system through collaborative action.
- National School Food Program – Join with the provinces and not-for-profit organizations to address the issue of child hunger at school.
How will the policy impact us as a rural community?
With 1 in 5 children in Grey and Bruce Counties in poverty, it is clear that we need to find affordable and healthy food to fuel our children. It is hard for children to be successful if they are focusing on how hungry they are. The National Food School Program is a key part of this new policy, and kids in this area could greatly benefit from this. Food bank usage is increasing across the 22 Food Banks that serve our communities in Grey County and Bruce County.
The Ontario Federation of Agriculture advocates for an economically sound and sustainable agri-food industry as a pre-requisite for delivering on food security. Their analysis provides more details on implications for sustainable practices for our local Grey Bruce agriculture production. The policy will help our smaller, agriculture-based communities thrive.
From Band-Aids to Bridges, Creating Community Food Hubs
The Food Security Action Group (FSAG), a working group of The Bruce Grey Poverty Task Force, and the Grey Bruce Sustainability Network will be working with local food security and food system stakeholders across both counties this spring to take action against food insecurity levels in several communities.
The FSAG will be hosting meetings in Dundalk, Wiarton, Kincardine, Saugeen Shores, and the Town of the Blue Mountains in April and May as part of a Food Security Hub Project funded by the United Way of Bruce Grey. These meetings will bring community organizations, municipal leaders, food producers, and community members to the table for action focused discussions on their communities food security needs. Stakeholders will work together to improve food security services for the community, strengthen their networks and collaborative efforts.
Household food insecurity occurs when a household's access to food is inadequate or precarious because of inconsistent income or insufficient financial resources. Food insecurity is a good indicator of poverty in our communities. Currently 11% of households in Grey and Bruce County experience food insecurity. Children are at particular risk of negative effects from food insecurity, which is concerning given that 1 in 5 children across Grey County and Bruce County live in a low income household. Being food insecure has profound impacts on physical, mental and social well-being; and places a person at greater risk of becoming a high cost user of the healthcare system.
Despite the severity of the experience, only 1 in 5 food insecure households access traditional food charities. The Food Security Action Group supports the model of a Community Food Centre (CFC), or a hub model to better meet community needs. This model leverages the power of community and creates a sense of belonging that empower all community members to advocate for a better food system.
Community Food Centres (CFCs) or Hubs challenge the line between giver and receiver by giving everyone a place and inviting people with lived experience to be involved in program creation and delivery. Programs develop food literacy and can range from cooking classes to community gardens.
While large CFCs such as Toronto's "The Stop" or Stratford's "The Local" serve much larger populations, there are also local examples of how it can be done in the smaller communities of Grey Bruce.
Meaford's Golden Town Outreach, has made important policy changes and partnerships and has added a variety of programs such as a "gleaning" program where volunteers will harvest excess fruit and share the harvest 3 ways – with the owner, with the volunteers, and with the food bank.
And CMHA Grey Bruce has launched their Fresh Roots food forest and catering services, and is getting ready to open the Fresh Roots Café. The Fresh Roots initiative uses a social enterprise model to support wellness among participants and in the community and creates employment for individuals with mental health concerns.
Town of Blue Mountains, Tuesday, April 30th, 12:30-3:00pm, Beaver Valley Community Centre – 58 Alfred Street, Thornbury RSVP Link
Kincardine, Friday, May 3rd, 12:30-3:00pm, Church of the Messiah – Kincardine Ministerial Food Bank – 421 Russell Street, Kincardine RSVP Link
Dundalk, Thursday, May 9th, 10:00-12:30pm, Erskine Community Health Centre – 90 Artemesia Street, Dundalk RSVP Link
Saugeen Shores, Tuesday, May 14th, 2:30-4:30pm, The Salvation Army – Port Elgin – 553 Bricker Street, Port Elgin RSVP Link
Wiarton, Monday, May 27th, 10:00-12:30pm, Wiarton Salvation Army Community Hub – 576 Edward Street, Wiarton RSVP Link
From Band-Aids to Bridges: Food Security in Grey Bruce
Efforts in 2018 to transform food banks to community food centres saw Food Security Action Group members supporting community kitchens, gardens, food gleaning and a new partnership with FoodRescue.ca – an online platform connecting businesses with surplus food products to non-for-profit agencies with food programs. In 2019, we shall be focused on increasing the registration of Grey Bruce donors (farmers, producers, restaurants, grocery stores) and recipients (food banks, hot meal programs, community kitchens, etc.).
Through a grant from the Community Foundation Grey Bruce the Second Harvest program were able to purchase food processing tools for food banks.
Food Security meetings were hosted by Grey Bruce Health Unit, Bruce Botanical Food Gardens in Ripley, CMHA's Community Food Forest in Owen Sound and M'Wikwedong NCRC to share best practices and exchange ideas. In 2019, we shall continue our food security conversations with new communities under the Food Security Hub Project funded by the United Way of Bruce Grey in partnership with the Grey Bruce Sustainability Network.
We hosted our Fall Food Gathering in partnership with the Grey Bruce Sustainability Network focused on the intersections between food, mental health, and the environment. is important that people come to our community food hubs and know that they have been heard. While Dave Roy and Alison Govier from CMHA Grey Bruce shared with us Where to Begin with mental health services and programs in Grey Bruce – they also helped to "de-expert" our roles. Plans are underway for the 2019 Fall Food Gathering which shall highlight the results of the Food Security Hub Project.
We saw a merger of our Bruce Grey Food Asset Map with the Agri-Asset Map. Moving forward we shall continue to add food asset data with partners.
Presentations to lower tier municipalities resulted in 2 new municipal endorsements of our Bruce Grey Food Charter. In 2019, the Food Security Action Group shall be increasing its road trips to lower tier municipalities to speak on the food security + housing + transportation and seeking new endorsements.
The end of the year saw the Nutritious Food Basket Survey released for Grey Bruce. In Grey Bruce, the annual Nutritious Food Basket survey recognizes the local cost to eat well. Measuring the true cost of food in local stores, the 2018 survey identifies that a family of four requires $204.16 each week to meet basic food needs.
One in five children across Grey County and Bruce County live in a low income household, while 6.5% of households sometimes or often run out of food before they can afford to buy more.
Traditional food charity cannot address the root cause of household food insecurity: poverty. There is a need for change. The solution lies in an income response that include access to safe and affordable housing.

PIQUA — With the Fourth of July approaching, it's an especially important time to recognize the sacrifices made by the men and women who've helped to preserve freedoms enjoyed today.
One Edison State Community College class did just that. Students in April Schmidlapp's Fundamentals of Communications class, consisting of a diverse student population that includes four veterans, came together to turn one classmate's disappointment into a positive experience.
"Interpersonal communication is a skill set taught in the course, and my students have been very engaged demonstrating significant bonding and self-disclosure," said Edison State Instructor April Schmidlapp. "One student, who has demonstrated significant life experience, particularly in the military, disclosed that not only had he been in Iraq and Afghanistan on active duty, he also was a prison guard at Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp in Cuba."
Since his time in Iraq and Afghanistan, John Rickert of New Carlisle completed Edison State's Basic Peace Officer Academy in 2014. Rickert is currently a police officer in Arcanum, and working towards a Criminal Justice degree at Edison State while also continuing to serve as an active military reservist.
It was during a class exercise when Rickert was presenting his Personal Identity Shield, a contemporary version of a family crest, when he remarked that had the instructor brought a gold colored marker to class instead of all the regular blue, green, black, and red markers, he could have drawn a bright gold badge on his shield to represent his police work.
"John had military duty one day so he couldn't be in class; I asked the other students how we could turn John's disappointment into a positive exercise in raising self-esteem, a topic covered in the course," said Schmidlapp. "Everybody was in full agreement to embrace the idea offered: create a replica of the Personal Identity Shield he presented to the class, but enhance it with a bright gold police badge and handwritten notes thanking him for his 18 years of service and counting."
On Tuesday, June 27, in front of classmates, faculty, and staff, Rickert was presented with an enhanced Personal Identity Shield adorned with notes of recognition from his classmates and a bright gold badge.
"I was not expecting this, kind of like when they [the military] called me up and said you're going to GTMO," said Rickert. "To my fellow students, thank you so much for your expressed gratitude. I thank you all for the acknowledgment."
Edison State President Dr. Doreen Larson expressed gratitude for students like Rickert noting, "This was an excellent opportunity to honor and thank one of the many students at Edison State who have served our country through military service. John Rickert's classmates and instructor April Schmidlapp took steps to highlight John's story to the campus. I am grateful for the special opportunity to demonstrate our support for our veterans and reservists in a very meaningful way."
Edison State recognizes the tremendous contribution that veterans and reservists make as citizens and students, and appreciates of the level of diversity, experience, and academic excellence they bring to campus. The College's Office of Veterans Services provides veterans with a single point of contact for academic, referral, and personal support services to help ease access to higher education, foster success, and build community.
For more information regarding the veteran services available at Edison State Community College, visit www.edisonohio.edu/Veterans.

45 MORE Women Die in Jahra Wedding Tent Fire
What I don't get is this: While authorities spend time raiding "immoral" flats across Kuwait, and in recent years, breaking up parties at tents in the desert; tragedies like this continue to occur.
If some of those same authorities spent time checking for safety measures at mass tent gatherings like weddings, maybe so many people wouldn't die or be horrifically maimed. Perhaps these fires happen at men's tents as well, but maybe the men are better equipped to escape (?) Kuwait: Land without statistics. I don't know.
Tents in Kuwait are made of cotton, not flame retardant material. That means one little spark - regardless of the ignition point - and the whole thing goes up in minutes.
Personally, I think that the next time I go to any big event in a tent, I'm taking a long, sharp knife with me. Maybe that's what they should do - keep knives in glass cases as they do with the pull fire alarms: "break in case of emergency".
The paper said that there were fire extinguishers, but maybe people didn't know where they were or how to use them. Personally, I've NEVER seen a tent in Kuwait equipped with a fire extinguisher; I've seen a lot more with open flames and some even with charcoal fires in them or dodgy space heaters.
Why can't the wedding tents be made to code: Smoke detectors? Flame retardant materials? Lit marking for emergency exits? Hotel banquet halls must conform to fire and safety requirements - why not wedding tents?
Its so sad and so PREVENTABLE. My thoughts go out to the families who have lost or injured mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins...

Until they make all these safety items available the Government should ban (we are good at banning ) all celeberations in tents .

Daggero - I agree with that. That's a really good idea. Maybe the government could subsidize weddings at hotels/banquet halls.
- August 16, 2009 at 4:10 PM
The simple answer is not having only one exit. Clearly marked (with lit signs that don't depend on the power supply) multiple exits from any room makes for a safer room. I've done some Safety Engineering in my career and one of the wisest advice ever given to me was when going into a room, take like 10 seconds and locate the exits. if the exits don't feel safe, don't go in or at least don't venture far from them.

Thanks anonymous 10:46 am. Regardless or the number of exits, the fire swept through the tent in Jahra in 3 minutes. It was hot enough to melt shoes to the asphalt. My mother gave me the same advice you did when I was a kid - no engineering necessary. Unfortunately, I have been places in life where I didn't feel comfortable and probably shouldn't have stayed anyways.

California needs to fix a school financing system that is outdated, arbitrary and inefficient. The governor's proposed redesign of school financing offers a good starting point for reforms. Legislators should build on that plan to offer a more rational and effective approach to spending education dollars.
The Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Committee last week held the first hearing on Gov. Jerry Brown's proposal to revamp California school finance. The session was only the first of many hearings the plan will undergo, and legislators will need to weigh a host of complex issues before any final decision.
But the discussion was a welcome change from the Legislature's usual inattention to the issue. California badly needs a school funding system that makes more sense than the process that has developed haphazardly over the past four decades. The state disburses education money based on decades-old formulas that no longer reflect the reality in most districts. Per-pupil funding can vary widely between districts, for no discernible policy reason. The system is hideously complex, overly centralized and arbitrarily inequitable, allotting funds with little regard to student needs or educational goals.
Legislators should have addressed this issue long before now, given how vital education is to the state's future. Brown proposes to root out the tangled thicket of rules that has grown up around school funding, and replace it with a simpler, more targeted approach. The governor would switch to a "weighted" formula, which would give districts with more low-income or English-learning students additional funds, gradually phased in over six years. Brown also wants to end earmarked dollars for about 40 education programs, and mix that money in with regular school funding.
Allocating more school money to the areas of greatest need makes far more sense than the state's current mindless approach. Low-income or English learning students require extra effort to educate. While money is no guarantee of success, education financing that ignores differing costs of student learning invites failure.
And the state's legislative analyst for years has advocated easing the restrictions on earmarked education funding. Before 2008-09, about a third of districts' general fund money came tied to specific uses. The state has temporarily relaxed such rules in recent years to give districts more fiscal flexibility, but there is no reason to link funding to one-size-fits-all programs that districts may not need.
The governor's plan is not perfect, of course. The legislative analyst notes that there is no guarantee districts would spend the additional "weighted" funding on the targeted students. Brown's proposal depends on accountability measures that do not yet exist to keep schools honest. And the funding formula does not reflect the higher cost of educating high school students, thanks to labs and other curriculum requirements. Those and other issues will require careful attention.
Nor does a revamped financing system address the other changes California's education system requires, including decentralizing control, cutting bureaucratic paperwork and giving districts more freedom in structuring programs and deploying personnel.
Still, a more coherent school funding system is a worthwhile starting point on overall reform. Education is a crucial public investment — and the state should have a strategy for spending school money wisely.

Some great music out this week:
If you're an independent worship artist and you would like to be included in this list please email any information to email@example.com AHEAD OF TIME. We'll do our best to include you in the list!
1) Tim Hughes – Ultimate Collection.
With a heart and passion to encourage worship in the local church, Tim Hughes has compiled numerous worship songs over the last decade, many still the favorites today. Collectively these songs have equipped and transformed our modern day church.
Distilling these worship songs into a single compilation, 'Ultimate Collection' from Tim Hughes incorporates worship anthems such as 'Here I Am To Worship', 'Beautiful One', 'Happy Day' and 'Counting On Your Name'.
From a young age, Tim learned the value and purpose of worship which then continued when appointed Director of Worship at Soul Survivor. From here, Tim moved to London's HTB and established Worship Central where he continued to learn the importance of equipping the local church with leaders. In recent times, to shake up the old model of worship, Tim has launched a Worship Central course; a free giveaway course to train young worship leaders, which has already been run by over 600 groups from 49 different countries.
2) Cultivation Generation Live (Vineyard Music) – My Foundation
Good Review over at Worship Leader: http://worshipleader.com/myfoundation/
3) Bellarive – The Heartbeat
The members of Bellarive hope that the music of The Heartbeat pulls the listener closer to the depths of God's heart, which is why even their song sequence has a intentionality to it. "When we were writing these songs, they definitely all seemed of a set," shares Curran. "Each one revealed a little bit more of who God is to all of us, a different glimpse of His glory or love and getting deeper and deeper into His heart."
4) Heather Clark – Overcome
Jesus Culture Music introduces British Columbia-based worship leader and songwriter Heather Clark with Overcome, an 11-track, live recording available on Kingsway June 19.
Known for her intimate lyrics and passionate worship, that have earned comparisons to Rita Springer and Kim Walker-Smith, Clark crafted Overcome to bless both congregations and individuals alike with its range of high praise moments and slower points of longing and pursuit.


text: Andy Zou 0 Posted September 30, 2015 I am playing around with anamorphic adapters, and obviously am limited by what sort of taking lenses I can use. I wanted to use a Zeiss 35mm but found it vignetted very slightly, so I moved up to a 50mm. This is on a GH4 with a Speedbooster, so fairly fairly close to simulating a Super35 sensor. Also shooting 4:3. For Super 35, ~35mm-ish seems like a standard for a "normal" fov on spherical and 50mm seems a bit tight, better for close-ups (imo). But since the 2X anamorphic stretches the horizontal focal length, I am a little unsure of what should be a go-to focal length for anamorphic. I myself usually compose based on the vertical size of the frame, which doesn't change, but obviously I wouldn't want so much more negative horizontal space so I'd probably move backwards to compensate. I don't have many other great primes that will take the anamorphic adapter, so I am trying to avoid too much trial and error by seeing what others think.
