The Sustainable Development Goals, spearheaded by the United Nations, is a set of 17 "Global Goals" with 169 targets between them. It calls for concerted efforts towards building an inclusive, sustainable and resilient future for people and planet.
When global companies align with the SDGs they will have a clearer view on how their business helps or hinders achieving local or global sustainability goals.
They will also have a competitive advantage over those companies that don't understand their contribution or use the knowledge to revise their strategies accordingly.

|The Beast With the Deadly Wound
November 5, 2003
The Beast With the Deadly Wound!
For most of my adult life I have believed that the one we identify as the antichrist will apparently be killed by a weapon of war, but will seemingly undergo a miraculous recovery from his deadly wound and, in so doing, will gain followers across the known world of John's day. The Islamic world has been waiting for such a man since the death of the prophet Mohammad. Please read Prophecy Update 82, Part 3, Exposition of Revelation, Chapter 13, in our Prophecy Update Archives. For a description of what I mean as the "known world of John's day," please read Prophecy Updates 73A, 77A, 77B, 77C, and 135C in our Archives.
Revelation 13:3,12,14 – And I saw one of his heads as it WERE WOUNDED TO DEATH; AND HIS DEADLY WOUND was healed: and all the world wondered after THE BEAST. [12] And he exerciseth all the power of the FIRST BEAST before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the FIRST BEAST, WHOSE DEADLY WOUND WAS HEALED. [14] And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to THE BEAST, which had THE WOUND BY A SWORD, AND DID LIVE.
I have believed, through most of my adult manhood, that antichrist would receive a deadly wound, which would cause the world to believe he was dead, but afterwards would reappear to cause many of the earth's inhabitants to believe he was miraculously back among the living. And I have always believed this would be the man who would lead the initial attack against Israel, and drive them southward into the Negev wilderness, where they would remain for the last 1260 days before Christ's Second Advent. It would be during this time period the antichrist would literally be that Wicked One, the Devil, incarnate in the sinful flesh of the antichrist. I have always taken I Thessalonians 2:8 to represent this period of 1260 days.
II Thessalonians 2:8 – And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
And I have long taught that those sections of the world, which were known by the readers of Revelation at the time it was written, would unknowingly worship Satan through the antichrist, because Satan would indwell his human body. I have also taught that the people of the known world will say that no one can win a war against a leader they seemingly cannot kill.
Revelation 13:4-6 – And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? [5] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. [6] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. (Please read Prophecy Updates 80, 81, and 83)
2 Thessalonians 2:4 – Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. (Please read Prophecy Update Numbers 79 and 52 in our Archives)
Daniel 11:45 – And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. (Please read Prophecy Updates 53 and 81A)
Revelation 19:19,20 – And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
I do not believe Osama Ben Laden is the antichrist. But his apparent death, and supposedly still being among the living, may well represent the type of scenario by which the antichrist gains the loyalty of the Islamic world. The Islamic "man in the street," among the 1.3 billion Arabs in the Middle East, considers Osama a great hero, and the longer he remains alive or avoids capture, the greater a legend he becomes to them. Neither do I believe that Saddam Hussein is the antichrist, but he does bother me, and the sooner they kill or capture him, the easier I will rest with my statement he is not the antichrist. He only bothers me because he was born in the southern part of the old Assyrian Empire, and I have always believed the antichrist would come from that ancient Empire. (Please read Prophecy Update Numbers 80, 81, and 82 in Archives)
While I do not believe that either Osama Ben Laden or Saddam Hussein is the antichrist, I do believe this may well be the type of scenario that sets up a situation where he has supposedly been killed by a wound his enemies are sure finished him off, but much to their surprise he suddenly appears and leads a successful Jihad against Israel with the backing of 10 Islamic nations.
Rest assured that even though I do not believe the Beast of Baghdad, Saddam Hussein, is the Beast with a deadly wound that did live, the fact that he was born within the southeast fringe of the ancient empire does bother me, and I am going to continue to hope he is caught soon. And, while I wait, I will certainly monitor the degree of his accelerating popularity with the 1.3 million Arab population composed of the "man in the street."
Osama Ben Laden became a hero to the Islamic masses when he drove the Soviet Union out of Afghanistan by a process of guerilla warfare, and then challenged America by destroying the Twin Towers. Saddam Hussein seems to be using the Islamic terrorists from numerous Arab nations to conduct the guerilla terrorist war now being waged against the Americans and their allies in Iraq. As each day passes that Saddam is able to avoid capture, and American troops continue to be picked off in Iraq, his mystic grows in the minds of the masses as a man who is standing up against "the big devil" and, in their eyes, defeating us. The one thing that bothers me about Saddam is where he was born. He was born in Tikrit in Iraq. Tikrit is located within the extreme southern part of the ancient Assyrian Empire. However, I do not think he is the antichrist, but the scenarios of "you are dead," then "no, you are alive," may be the type of scenario we can expect to see unite the 1.3 billion Islamic population behind the real antichrist when he does show up. Such a scenario would certainly fulfill Revelation 13:3,4.
Revelation 13:3,4 – And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. [4] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
And it could explain how clay and iron could be caused to cling together for a while by faith in one leader among a mingled population.
Daniel 2:41-43 – And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. [42] And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. [43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
And it could explain why 10 leaders of 10 Islamic nations would be willing to surrender their power to him.
Revelation 17:12,13,17 – And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. [17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

How crafty was the cover image of Avengers #59, which featured the introduction of Yellowjacket? It's giving us precisely the image we're meant to focus on--presenting to us, at a glance, most of the elements necessary to send us down a red herring trail (using a generous amount of bright bold red, I might add). In effect, the decision is made for us as to how we'll interpret the story's events as they develop--and in the process, we're thrown off the scent of the real answer.
In other words, the story we're meant to latch onto has, in a sense, already been programmed into us:
A new character, Yellowjacket, having apparently defeated Goliath. The Wasp appears shocked at the possibility that he might be dead, while a trio of angry Avengers prepares to retaliate against Yellowjacket. All we know of Yellowjacket so far is his name--and, judging by his expression, we know that he's powerful and confident enough to challenge the Avengers.
So when the story unfolds, and Yellowjacket surprises the Avengers with his announcement that he's done away with their chairman, the cover image has already done its job of convincing us that Yellowjacket is a separate, distinct new character:
And when Yellowjacket subsequently recounts how he defeated Goliath and shrank him down to his probable death, we have no reason to doubt him. But we know, in retrospect, that "Yellowjacket" here is really Hank Pym himself, a victim of a lab experiment where gaseous fumes have affected his mind and developed this second personality. But you and I, as readers, are simply meant to fall for the illusion that the cover has presented us with; we don't have the luxury of being in the same room with the Avengers when Pym arrives in his new identity. So what remains unclear is why his teammates, who have known Pym all this time and certainly know what his voice sounds like, fail to recognize him, however more casual his inflection might sound. Nor does Jan, of all people, see the resemblance--at least at first.
About six years ago, Marvel followed up on its excellent eight-issue series, Earth's Mightiest Heroes, with a second eight-issue volume which included a different take on this story. In that version, it was obvious to the Avengers from the moment "Yellowjacket" greeted them that he was actually Hank Pym, though why he was masquerading as this new persona was a mystery. The SHIELD liaison team that was assigned to the Avengers suggested a "play along" approach designed to help Pym recover his memories without psychological damage:
It was certainly a more realistic--if less animated--approach to this kind of story, which removed the "threat" and hidden agenda elements of Yellowjacket entirely. But there was another development from the original story to be dealt with, which began near the end of Part One when the Avengers finally managed to track down the Wasp after Yellowjacket had abducted her from the mansion:
Part Two continues this spectacle by throwing us more distractions meant to keep us from examining the mystery of Yellowjacket too closely. Padding the guest list with super-heroes, who all seem to have conveniently forgotten where they put their formal wear; infiltration of the proceedings by, of all menaces, the Ringmaster's Circus of Crime; and the marriage itself, arranged and executed at such a dizzying pace you would have thought Whirlwind was the Best Man. Even Captain America is made to be as confused as the rest of us when his invitation arrives:
Cap, no slouch at investigation, learns no more at Avengers Mansion--and astonishingly decides not to pry further, even when we have a missing Avenger involved. Cap, not having a one-on-one with Yellowjacket and insisting on some answers? Clearly, Part Two of this story is meant to keep us in the dark about what's going on, a time-tested tactic designed to make the climax of the story have the maximum amount of impact. Interestingly, we get the opposite effect in the Earth's Mightiest Heroes version of the story, with all of the answers coming to us almost immediately and the story's events playing out around them. For instance, in the original story, we only got our first real clue about Yellowjacket in his actions after he abducted Jan--and even then it was difficult to put the pieces together, given the heat of the moment:
It's at that point that things just get crazy for the reader, mostly thanks to Jan and her total about-face with Yellowjacket. The frustrating thing about this part of the story is that we never really learn the reason for Jan's mad dash to the altar. In front of the others, she makes it seem like she was extremely bitter about Pym's feet-dragging and lack of commitment toward her--yet that does nothing to explain her attraction toward the man who admits to causing her boyfriend's demise. In the Earth's Mightiest Heroes story, things are far more clear: Jan isn't on board with SHIELD's method of helping Hank, and hopes the shock of a faux marriage ceremony will better be able to reach him:
In the original, we really don't get to the bottom of things until after the marriage actually takes place, with a real minister presiding:
(Again, no one thinks to ask: wouldn't the bridegroom, at least, attend his own wedding in formal wear? And before you answer with "Hey! Reed Richards didn't!", Yellowjacket didn't have the excuse of hurrying back from an all-out battle. Maybe Jan just wanted a little kink on her wedding night. Eww.)
(I should also point out that Jan and Yellowjacket visited City Hall in Part One, presumably to get a license. Wouldn't you have loved to have been a yellowjacket on the wall at that meeting. Just what, we could only wonder, was "Yellowjacket" going to put down as his real name on the application? And what's his face going to look like when he produces his I.D. and it says "Henry Pym"?)
After the Ringmaster and his goons attack, and Jan's life is put in danger, Hank's personality re-emerges, and Goliath helps the Avengers take out the Circus of Crime. And it's finally time for Jan to explain just what the hell she was thinking:
It's fair to wonder if Pym's schizophrenic problems from this point on have anything to do with this crazy woman who manipulated him into marrying her. Because without further explanation from her (or the writer), what else can we conclude from her methods here? When Jan reasoned out the truth about Hank's identity, instead of seeking medical help for him she instead threw herself into marriage preparations, for reasons that seem outwardly selfish. And what if Hank hadn't come to his senses? In effect, she'd be married to a man who technically never agreed to the marriage, with no one the wiser. And then what does she do? Keep up the deception? Tell the Avengers after the fact? And would they go along with what she's done?
Instead, the issue sidesteps all of that and takes an "all's well that ends well" approach--indeed, both Hank and Jan seem to embrace that sentiment. Jan certainly doesn't seem like she's going to give the circumstances a second thought. But as for Hank, well:
Subconsciously, maybe Hank wasn't as okay with Jan's little end-run as it seemed.

Trademark Trial and Appeal Board
Patent and Trademark Office (P.T.O.)
Opposition No. 83,771
November 15, 1991
Before Sams, Cissel and Seeherman
Opinion by Cissel
On February 22, 1990 SearchCraft, Inc. filed an application based on its intent to use "FAXTEX" as a service mark for what was subsequently identified by amendment as "transmission of data information by facsimiles" in Class 38. Timely Notice of Opposition was filed by INTERFAX, INC. on October 17, 1990.
As grounds for opposition opposer asserts that it has used "FAXTEX" as a service mark for facsimile transmission services since December 18, 1989; that it applied for registration of its mark on March 26, 1990 (S.N. 74/042,728, a copy of which was attached to the complaint); and that confusion is likely if applicant uses and registers the same mark for substantially the same services. Applicant's answer denied knowledge of opposer's claimed use, and therefore that confusion would be likely.
Following consented extensions of the discovery period, on August 26, 1991 opposer moved for suspension of its testimony period and for summary judgment. Opposer asserts that no material facts are disputed, and that, based on the undisputed facts, opposer is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. In support of opposer's motion, affidavits and evidence were submitted subject to a protective order to which the parties had agreed and which was sanctioned by the Board. Also submitted were a brief and a statement of the facts asserted by opposer to be undisputed. On September 6, 1991 proceedings were suspended pending disposition of the motion for summary judgment.
Applicant then filed its own motion for summary judgment on September 13, 1991. Opposer's responses to applicant's document request and opposer's interrogatory responses were submitted in support of applicant's cross motion. Applicant contends that priority is the sole issue before the Board, but that opposer has failed to demonstrate that it had acquired proprietary rights in the mark before applicant filed its application.
Applicant finds fault with opposer's attempt to show priority in two ways. As to the claimed use of the mark with clients and potential clients, applicant argues that such use was confidential and did not create a public awareness of opposer's use of the term in connection with its services. The references to opposer's mark in two published articles about opposer's services are faulted by applicant for other reasons. Applicant argues that one publication does not show use of the mark "in an unambiguously correct service mark format," and that the other publication shows "FAXTEX" "buried" in other text in a way that the public would not likely note.
Rule 56(c), Fed.R.Civ.P. provides that
Summary Judgment shall be rendered forthwith if the pleadings, depositions, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law ..."
*2 The question of likelihood of confusion has been consistently held by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to be one of law and unquestionably may be resolved by way of summary judgment under appropriate circumstances. See, e.g., Sweats Fashions, Inc. v. Pannill Knitting Company, Inc., 833 F.2d 1560, 4 USPQ2d 1793 (Fed.Cir.1987). Priority, being the only disputed issue in the case at hand, seems to be particularly suited to resolution by summary judgment.
Both parties believe that this matter is ripe for resolution on the materials of record in connection with the cross motions, although each party argues that judgment for the other party would be improper. We agree that no facts material to the issue of priority are disputed. We find that the materials of record in connection with the cross motions establish opposer's use of "FAXTEX" as a service mark prior to applicant's filing date, and that opposer is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
The affidavits of opposer's founder, of opposer's president, and of a customer of opposer set forth facts which establish opposer's adoption of "FAXTEX" as a service mark in November of 1989 and its use as a service mark since December, 1989. Both orally and in writing, opposer referred to its "FaxTex interactive facsimile service" in sales presentations to customers. The mark was used in opposer's revised Standard Information Provider Agreement, which was sent to a client on December 1, 1989. Opposer's service is identified therein as the "FAXTEX interactive facsimile service." The agreement is the contract between opposer and its clients whereby opposer's services are rendered. The customer signed the agreement on December 19, 1989. The mark has been used in sales presentations since November of 1989, both orally and by providing customers with written materials which use the mark in connection with opposer's services.
Applicant argues that this use of the mark by opposer was "confidential" use which was not sufficient to establish rights. Applicant contends that the fact that opposer's evidence relating to these issues is marked "confidential" and is subject to the protective order to which opposer and applicant agreed in this case demonstrates the highly confidential nature of opposer's asserted use, and that without more public use than this, opposer cannot be considered to have used the mark in a way which would establish proprietary rights in it.
As opposer notes, however, applicant is confusing the confidentiality with which the parties to this proceeding have agreed to treat this information with the nature of opposer's activities with its customers in 1989 and early 1990. While it is clear that opposer does not want to have to reveal information regarding its customers because applicant is a direct competitor, opposer's use of its service mark was not confidential. The record shows that opposer's use of its mark with customers and potential customers was open and public use of the mark to identify opposer's services. Opposer did not advise these people to treat its mark as confidential. There is no authority for the proposition which applicant seems to be asserting, that by agreeing to consider the evidence of its first use of its mark confidential, opposer was retroactively converting the nature of its first use into activity so confidential and secret as to divest opposer of the rights it had established.
*3 In light of the clear sufficiency of the affidavit evidence of opposer's priority, applicant's arguments concerning the alleged deficiencies in the two published references to opposer's "FAXTEX" service prior to applicant's filing date are moot. Moreover, notwithstanding applicant's arguments to the contrary, we find this evidence also supports opposer's claim of priority. Applicant's objections are without merit.
We can find no deficiency in any of the evidence that opposer used its mark to identify its services in 1989, well before applicant filed its application in February of the following year. Because no material facts are disputed and the undisputed facts show that opposer has prior use of the identical mark for services which are substantially the same, confusion is likely and summary judgment for opposer is appropriate.
Decision: The opposition is sustained.

2020 Maryland Blazer Kennedy Clark Leads River Hill to 2A State Championship
April 21, 2019
At the 2A South Regional Championship, Kennedy Clark set her mind to helping her team secure a spot into the state championship, then she got down to work. Clark knocked down four 3 pointers to go for a career-high 23 points and led her team over a feisty Calvert High School team, thus securing her team a spot in the 2A Maryland State Semi-final game. Clark continued her team leadership to push her team over Hereford in the state semi-final game chipping in 15 points, knocking down five 3-pointers to put the game out of reach (55-43). In the state championship, Clark put together an all-purpose performance (seven points, six rebounds, four assists) as her team held off a late run from Middletown High School to secure a 44-39 victory and claim the school's second state championship for girls basketball in River Hill history. Kennedy can get the win, and her squad prevails. See her Baltimore Sun Girl Athlete of the Week article here.

Cloning opponents fear loopholes in new UK law
A new law banning the creation of cloned people in Britain should be in force within a week or so, but opponents of cloning fear there are many potential loopholes. Also, the regulation of so-called "therapeutic cloning", intended to create cells for tissue and organ transplants, will still be in legal limbo.
The new law is being rushed through parliament to explicitly ban "reproductive cloning". The law will fill a legal vacuum created by a High Court ruling in favour of the Pro-Life Alliance, a group that opposes abortion and cloning.
The ruling on 15 November wrecked the government's intention to regulate cloning through the 1990 Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act. Judges agreed with the Pro-Life Alliance that cloned embryos do not come under the act because they do not conform to the act's definition of an embryo – the fertilisation of an egg with a sperm.
But the government's new law has not satisfied opponents of cloning – they say it has too many loopholes. The proposed law "makes it an offence to place in a woman a human embryo which has been created by a method other than by fertilisation".
Cow-human hybrid
Opponents say that this wording would allow clones to be born by other methods. "It won't stop human cloned embryos being placed in animals," says Bruno Quintavalle of the Pro-Life Alliance. "And how would the courts interpret combination of a cow egg with a human embryo," he says.
Another loophole arises, he says, because the bill does not define fertilisation, or when an embryo becomes a fetus. What if it becomes possible to nurture a cloned embryo in the lab to a point where it is no longer an "embryo", then implant it into a woman, asks Quintavalle?
The alliance wanted the new law to ban creation of any cloned human embryo, even for therapeutic cloning. "If you allow creation of cloned embryos, it makes it almost inevitable someone will implant them," says Quintavalle.
Licence to clone
However, the government, and many scientists, believe therapeutic cloning holds such promise that it should be permitted. The government will appeal against the 15 November ruling, hoping to return control of therapeutic cloning to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA).
This would mean anyone wishing to attempt therapeutic cloning would need an HFEA licence.
"No one has applied for a licence to clone anything anyway," says a spokesman for the Department of Health. "So legally it's in limbo, but practically it's not, because no-one's doing it," he says.
The Pro-Life Alliance says that if the government wins its appeal, it will challenge that ruling in the House of Lords.

Defining the Future: The Campaign for Saint Mary's continues to change our students' lives through your generous philanthropic support. With more than $120 million raised to date, our Campaign aspirations are within reach.
❯ The Saint Mary's community set a new plateau during its fifth 1Day1SMC in April to raise $665,000 from more than 2,000 donors.
As you will see throughout these pages, the shared commitment to philanthropically support our future makes possible our vision to be the leading Catholic comprehensive university in the western United States. New endowment growth, capital enhancements, and more financial assistance for our students is how we are defining our future at Saint Mary's College.
The Kalmanovitz Charitable Foundation has made record gifts that will benefit Saint Mary's students for generations to come.
Two generous gifts from the Kalmanovitz Charitable Foundation underline a profoundly Lasallian idea: Educating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—has the power to change lives, to change the world.
A $3 million gift, the largest ever to benefit Saint Mary's Athletics and its student-athletes, supports phase two of the Student Athlete Performance Complex, continuing the update of the 40-year-old McKeon Pavilion. Phase one included new flooring, lighting, a new roof, seismic refitting, a state-of-the-art Daktronic video board, and other improvements. Plans for phase two include a weight and conditioning facility, larger locker rooms, team rooms, locker rooms for visiting teams and officials, coaches' offices, new restrooms and showers, as well as enhanced public spaces for the fan community.
"This generous gift from the Kalmanovitz Charitable Foundation will benefit all student-athletes," said SMC's Athletic Director Mike Matoso. "And phase two of the Student Athlete Performance Complex will continue to enhance the game-day experience for our fans at McKeon Pavilion."
The second gift of $960,000 will support the Kalmanovitz Scholars Program, an annual scholarship fund for first-generation, low-income undergraduate students at Saint Mary's. Every year four new students will receive $15,000 scholarships that will continue throughout their four-year college career.
Such support represents another distinctly Lasallian commitment: to understand the consequences of economic and social injustice and to do something about it.
"In Saint Mary's, God created a very special place on this earth," said Kalmanovitz Charitable Foundation Trustee Bernie Orsi '65, who can attest personally to the life-changing experience of an SMC education. "The College's work with future generations should and must be sustained."
These most recent gifts add to the Foundation's long legacy of philanthropic support for Saint Mary's. The Foundation provided the lead gift, $10 million, for the expansion of the Kalmanovitz School of Education and the lead gift of $10 million for a 60,000-square-foot campus fitness facility, named for former San Francisco Mayor Joseph L. Alioto '37.
"The faith the Kalmanovitz Charitable Foundation has shown in our mission and the support these good friends provide is something for which we are deeply grateful," said President James Donahue. "They have been a longtime philanthropic partner of Saint Mary's College, and these most recent gifts exemplify their passion for success across the campus."
"Indeed, we can't overstate the influence such generosity and faith can have on the futures of our students," said Vice President for Advancement Lisa Moore '96. "Thanks to the vision of the Kalmanovitz Charitable Foundation, this scholarship will significantly enhance the lives of students. Their generosity will greatly reduce the dependence on student loans and will launch the students into the next phase of their lives, free from the worries of significant debt. This allows these students to follow their passions and dreams in ways previously not possible."
"In Saint Mary's, God created a very special place on this earth. The College's work with future generations should and must be sustained."

One of the best things in life is a great family (and great caramel corn!). It's out of this family of seven that POPPED! was created. After high school, the oldest son, Joshua, had a desire to learn about business. This prompted his father Andy to mentor him and together they created a place that allowed them to put into practice the principles he learned.
"We first invested time discussing and writing our core principles." Said Andy about how the company got started. "It was important for us to know why and how we would operate as a company. We took time to visit many other businesses as far away as Chicago and Salt Lake City to understand what customers experienced and to learn from other business owners. We then began to create a system to provide the best of what we learned and observed, using our core principles and beliefs as a guide. We continue to read and grow as we seek to do our best for those we serve. We could have just as easily created a business that sold cupcakes, brooms or light bulbs because the principles of good business are the same for each. Our love for great popcorn was the winner and we hope as you allow us to serve you, that you will find fun, great service, delicious product and sincere gratefulness for our customers and friends. We are very serious about having fun in work and hope every visit brings out a smile. Above all and in everything we do, we desire to honor God and love people."
Along with Joshua, two of his brothers, Jerod and Jacob work at the retail store in Newnan, Georgia. A younger brother, sister and mom all can be seen in the store, usually tasting and providing their own smiles and laughter.

The Limiting Principle
March 30, 2012 Leave a comment
Conservative Justices this week kept insisting that unless there was a "Limiting principle" by which we could distinguish how the government could force you to buy health insurance, but no force you to broccoli, than clearly the individual mandate is unconstitutional. Jon Chait has a really nice piece summarizing many people on the nuttiness of this. You should read it. What I'm going to post here, though, is legal scholar par excellence Jack Balkin's first of three options on the matter:
Hey kids? Are you down in the dumps after Tuesday's oral argument? Do you want a limiting principle that justifies the individual mandate but doesn't give Congress unlimited power under the Commerce Clause? Fine. Here are three of them. Pick your favorite.
1. The Moral Hazard/Adverse Selection Principle. Congress can regulate activities that substantially affect commerce. Under the necesary and proper clause, Congress can require people to engage in commerce when necessary to prevent problems of moral hazard or adverse selection created by its regulation of commerce. But if there is no problem of moral hazard or adverse selection, Congress cannot compel commerce. Courts can choose different standards of review to decide how much they want to defer to Congress's conclusion. Even under the strictest standard of review the individual mandate passes muster.
Explanation: The guaranteed issue and community rating rules prevent insurers from discriminating against uninsured people because of preexisting conditions. These rules create a moral hazard: people will wait until they get sick to buy insurance. (this might be better described as an adverse selection problem) Congress can require them to buy insurance early to prevent gaming the system. (Actually, it exacerbates an already existing problem in all health insurance, because insureds know more about their health condition than insurers).
Why not broccoli? There is no moral hazard or adverse selection problem created when people refuse to buy broccoli. It's true that buying and eating broccoli might make you healthier, but people don't wait until they are sick to buy broccoli. That's because broccoli is not going to do them much good at that point. In this sense, broccoli doesn't work like health insurance.
Why not cars? Under this principle, Congress can't make everyone buy a car in order to help the auto industry. There is no moral hazard or adverse selection problem that Congress is responding to that is caused by people strategically waiting to buy cars. Note, by the way, that if fewer people buy cars, the price of cars might go down, not up, as Justice Scalia thought.
The others two are entirely sensible and logical as well. If the conservative justices want a limiting principle, it is really not hard. Being forced to buy health insurance is dramatically different in so many ways from being forced to buy broccoli. Seems to me, that Kennedy aside (that's unclear) they very much don't want a limiting principle so they can simply get rid of a law that they don't like. That's most certainly not what the Court is there for.

A Costly, Stressful Unilateral Belladona
1Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH
2Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH
Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2013, May 16-19, National Harbor, Md.
Abstract number: 338
Case Presentation:
A 49‐year‐old woman with a medical history significant for congenital hypofibrinogenemia and platelet dysfunction was admitted to the hospital for observation following percutaneous biliary drain removal. Because of a significant bleeding history, following her procedure, she was admitted for administration of cryoprecipitate and hemoglobin monitoring. During her hospitalization, the patient was prescribed a scopolamine patch due to complaints of severe nausea. Subsequently, the patient developed a throbbing, bilateral headache rated 9/10 in severity. At this time, examination revealed the patient's left pupil to be ∼8 mm with a very sluggish pupillary reflex when compared with her right, pupil which was normally reactive and ∼4 mm in size. The patient was also found to have a mild oculomotor nerve palsy. The patient denied any changes in vision or associated symptoms and remained alert and oriented ×3 without any acute changes in mental status. In light of her bleeding history and focal neurologic exam, a STAT head CT/CTA was ordered at to rule out intracranial bleeding, and an emergent neurology consult was obtained. After interview and examination, neurology requested further imaging as well as a formal ophthalmology consult. Her CT, CTA, MRI, MRV all were reported as normal. Ophthalmology felt her anisocoria was related to her scopolamine patch. Her scopolamine patch was discontinued, and her anisocoria resolved within a matter of hours. Follow‐up ocular exam was normal. It was explained to the patient that she likely rubbed her patch with her hand and subsequently touched her left eye.
Anisocoria may be a life‐threatening medical emergency if not carefully evaluated. These emergencies include such diagnoses as: intracranial bleeds, aneurysms, carotid dissections, and uncal herniations. Given this, it is critical to obtain a detailed history, comprehensive ocular exam and correlate this with the overall clinical condition of the patient. Although it may have been reasonable to obtain a CT brain for this particular patient, she likely could have been spared multiple imaging studies and consultations with a more thoughtful and contextual evaluation of her anisocoria. If available, a pilocarpine test can quickly and inexpensively determine if the etiology is pharmacologic in nature.
Although there have been a handful of cases such as this reported in the literature, this case helps to remind hospitalists of the potential adverse ocular side effects of scopolamine patches and underscores the importance of patient and nursing education about proper hand hygiene with its use. Ultimately, with a more careful and simplistic approach, this patient's exposure to unnecessary testing and health care costs could have been reduced. This case illustrates that more is not necessarily better and that careful clinical consideration, evaluation, and physical exam should remain at the forefront of medical decision making.

But Originally:
Uncle Sam dates back much earlier than his rallying efforts in the Great War. In fact, his earliest known appearance was during the War of 1812. And while he was still an illustrated personification of the American government, it was far from a flattering portrayal -- Uncle Sam was kind of a doofy asshole.
Hulton Archive/Hulton Archive/Getty Images
Uncle: Creepiest relative designation since 1812
Historians disagree on how he got his name -- either he was originally the likeness of a real-life American businessman named Sam Wilson, or it was derived from a mocking nickname given to the United States Light Dragoons (USLD), a cavalry unit whose initials were derisively said to actually stand for "Uncle Sam's Lazy Dogs." In any case, when Uncle Sam came into common use, it was in caricatures drawn for anti-government propaganda magazines, who basically wanted a shorthand way to represent the entire government as one cranky old shithead in a flag costume.

Although most of my art is made digitally, I also paint with "analog" media, so to say: acrylics, watercolors and oil-based pastels.
During 2017 and 2018 I created some very special pieces, which I decided to put for sale at Saatchi Art.
They are five pieces in total, between watercolors, acrylics and mixed media.
I also decided to put one of my latest glitch art pieces, Progress, for sale as limited edition prints – 25 prints in total.
Although these particular artworks are sold as originals, they are also available as fine art prints.

Making these photographs of Japan Temple Pond Reflections is part of my ongoing interest in understanding and expressing how meeting takes place between our self, one another, each thing.
The world that we meet and join with is not found apart from our perceiving and knowing it. When we allow things to come forward and authenticate and cultivate themselves, we may not only see the pond and the world reflected in it, but may have a glimpse into seeing what the pond might be seeing. We may come to recognize seeing as a process not limited to content or agent, and, further, as the process of seeing the mind seeing. This is the gesture of mind settling on itself.
This is to know mind in each situation, to settle in closeness. Each arising, whether new to our experience or not, is intimate, a piece of our mind. Everything is close …

I am a lineage holder and teacher in the Zen tradition of Dongshan and Dogen. I serve as Vice Abbot of Genrinji, a Zen Buddhist temple located in the Black Forest in Germany. When not in residence at Genrinji, I live in San Anselmo, California.
The inspiration for these images has been developed and refined by decades of Zen practice and temple life. My approach is grounded in qualities such as spaciousness, stillness, clarity, intimacy, incompleteness, and simplicity … the uniqueness of each arising in the present moment. Over the past 5 years my work has been exhibited in more than 45 gallery and museum exhibitions throughout the US and Europe. In 2017, Datz Press published a book of my work, temple walls | japan.

Our backup strategy leverages tools which look at your systems and only transfers "first seen data" to the Iserv backup repository. Once it arrives, the data is deduplicated at a 4K block level and then written to our disks. An important distinction is that your data is encrypted from the moment it leaves your server until it's returned to your server should you ever need it. There is no secret sauce because your business is only charged for the bits that are protected in our enterprise-grade storage system. Managed Backup as a Service delivers complete management and monitoring of your infrastructure, freeing your internal resources from troubleshooting and file restoration.
The following graphic shows how unique data is transferred from your servers to the Iserv storage system.
To showcase our price model, here is a real-world example. A current Iserv BaaS customer with 6 servers holding 3-4T of consumed disk space was paying $2500/month to a competitor. After assessing their environment, our engineers worked with the customer's IT team to migrate their backup data into the Iserv model. Upon validating their utilization, the next month's invoice totaled $258.05. This represents a savings of over $2000 or 80+% for this customer.

Yesterday I cleaned my kitchen. I clean my kitchen everyday, but today I worked on those clutter piles, those odds and ends that wait to find a good home and now have clean counters.
What is it about a clean kitchen that inspires me and makes me calm and relaxed? I was positively giddy last night, enjoying the vast expanse of a spotless kitchen. And I wasn't cleaning for guests or an event, which makes it even more fulfilling. The cleanliness is for us! And it is simply elegant
Welcome to the tour of my kitchen.
Through the entry hall you will find the kitchen, in between the dining room and family room.
We've been in this house a year — the anniversary of our move is tomorrow. My kitchen is not beautiful, but is spacious, lots of counters and functional. There are things that need to be changed — it's quite a 1980s kitchen. I dislike the wallpaper. I don't like the color of the cabinets, nor the knobs. The appliances are original to the house, breaking down and soon to be replaced. The lighting is fluorescent and awful. There is no backsplash. The floor is a fake-ceramic-tile-pergo-type flooring. It's not yellow as it appears in the pictures. And one day I will have wood floors.
These are just minor ascetics and projects that will be tackled one by one, time, energy and money allowing. But I don't look at the wallpaper much. I have very little wall space..we fell in love with the kitchen view. I have a picture window with backyard views of nature at all times and natural lighting from the bay windows. My "room with a view" is cheery and uplifting. I don't need much to decorate this kitchen. If it's clean, all eyes go to the beautiful outdoors. That, to me, is my simple elegance. Who needs to improve on nature?
The floor space in my kitchen is expansive. The U-shape is nice and open, but it is a lot to walk across doing prep work. I've seen other similar kitchens with islands. It works, the Cook isn't crowded, but you lose that open airy feeling. The other major drawback? My son couldn't set up his cars, trucks, trains!
I have few upper cabinets.
My elegant touch this month is to have a basket of fresh vegetables from the garden. Nothing is as inviting to me as homegrown juicy red tomatoes.
We're a family of 3, so we continue to have our meals at the kitchen table. There's a hummingbird feeder on the window…and last night was the first time one came to feed. We're hoping there will be many more to come. The table is quite small, so if another person is added to our numbers, we'll need another table. The dining room is off to the right of the kitchen. It's carpeted, so family meals aren't relaxing if I'm figuring out how to clean the spills and crumbs. It's also a bit awkward because there is no pass through, nor a close counter to hold food or plates. It's quite a few steps to the closest counter from the dining room table. When dinner with a toddler only lasts 20 minutes or so, I don't always have the energy to be toting all the food and plates back and forth from the dining room.
But we do break the monotony of the kitchen table by eating on the screened-in porch. This is right off the kitchen and family room. When the weather is nice, we're outside. It's one of our favorite places to be. We just finished painting the deck and porch, which makes time out here even more enjoyable. The next step is to find some outdoor shades that fit (and aren't expensive) so we can shield ourselves from the setting sun to make dinners even better.
The refrigerator area is my weakest spot. I do keep baskets and my son's cooler on the top. The wine rack is a waste of space. If you really enjoy wine, you don't want to keep them in the warm kitchen. Look closely and you'll see that all the bottles are actually empty. Project procrastination — I'm saving the labels, but since I can't find my label remover at this moment, the bottles are just sitting there. We hope to replace the fridge sometime soon, but it works. We have our LeapFrog letters and farm which keep little hands busy. All the magnets of Penn State and Steelers football are also there for my son's enjoyment.
The microwave is temporary. How long is temporary, I'm embarrassed to say. My built-in microwave caught on fire last Thanksgiving. My maternal grandmother had died a few days before, so my mother is letting me use her old microwave until we get a new one installed. I want to put one over my stove. I had that in my other house, and it was convenient and off the counter. Where my built-in microwave sits I want to replace with a double oven.
The pantry is small and cramped. There is a small mudroom to the right off the eating area that we plan on adding shelving units to house both extra food items, toys and school supplies and the notorious shoes and other paraphernalia. Since I have 9 foot ceilings, I'm going to use all the vertical space I can.
