The interest in social impact investing—putting cash into business ventures that have a social mission as their end-goal and yet are also profitable—has been growing steadily in the past years, but one of the biggest challenges faced by private equity players and venture capitalists in this area is finding worthwhile projects to which they can deploy their investments.
That's where a firm like Jalia Ventures comes in.
The New York City-based organization brings venture capital and private equity investors together with socially oriented, minority-owned businesses that have the potential to grow—businesses identified by Kesha Cash, director of investments at Jalia.
"Very often, minority-owned enterprises don't even know they have the potential to become bigger," Cash (left) says. "We teach business owners what it really means to be a social enterprise player and how to position themselves in order to get access to capital."
Thus far, Jalia has invested in ventures like Red Rabbit, a Harlem-based food services company that supplies 20,000 healthy school meals daily and has revenue of $7 million and growing; Dental Kidz, a pediatric dental practice that has served more than 9,000 low-income children in Newark; AgLocal, a NewME Accelerator startup that raised $1.5 million to develop an online marketplace for family farms; and Peartree Preschool, a eco-friendly preschool that will open its first center in Harlem this year to serve 120 young people.
There are a great deal more "great ideas and great businesses out there" in the minority business space, Cash says, but still, many ventures with inherent social missions that have the potential to be scaled up greatly with a for-profit model are reluctant to take on outside capital.
"For many entrepreneurs of color, this is their first take at building wealth," she says. "It's not something they have any experience in, so they're naturally out to protect it."
Jalia's goal, Cash says, is to educate businesses on the ins and outs of getting money for the first time. But the firm also works to familiarize investors with the people behind the ventures they're funding.
"Very few people from the investment side look like people in the communities that these businesses want to serve, so we want to be able to start a dialog and get people comfortable with each other in order to facilitate an exchange," she says.
Jalia Ventures was launched nearly three years ago with the support of Josh Mailman, son of New York philanthropist and investor Joseph L. Mailman, through his firm, Serious Change LP.
Cash became passionate about social impact investing and increasing its impact through a for-profit model while studying for her MBA at Columbia University.

Miami, Florida (CNN) -- Nearly 12,000 United Nations peacekeepers are on emergency standby in Haiti, as Tropical Storm Emily churns towards the Caribbean island, the United Nations said.
Residents braced themselves for the storm that is expected to hit the island early Thursday. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians are still living in temporary quarters in the aftermath of the devastating 2010 earthquake.
Members of the U.N. Stabilization Mission in Haiti have already been deployed to areas at risk of flooding from the storm, the U.N. said.
The government issued an alert advising residents that the storm's heavy rains could produce dangerous flooding and mudslides. Rains and flooding from hurricane Tomas in 2010 unleashed a cholera epidemic in Haiti that killed hundreds and infected nearly 2,000 people, the U.N. said.
Tropical Storm Emily continued to gradually spin towards Haiti. The center of the storm was expected to pass over eastern parts of Cuba Thursday night.
As of Wednesday evening, the disorganized storm was about 75 miles southeast of Isla Beata, Dominican Republic, and was expected to dump heavy rains over Haiti and parts of Cuba, the National Hurricane Center said.
The storm had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph.
The government of the Dominican Republic discontinued the tropical storm watch from Cabo Francis Viejo to Cabo Engano. A warning for Puerto Rico was discontinued as Emily passed that island by.
A storm warning means storm conditions are expected within the next 36 hours, a watch means storm conditions are possible, the center said.
"Some weakening is possible as Emily interacts with the high terrain of Haiti and eastern Cuba," the Miami-based hurricane center said. "Some re-strengthening is possible when the cyclone moves over the Bahamas."
Emily was continuing to move west at 14 mph, but the weather service said it expects the storm to turn to the northwest over the next couple of days.
A tropical storm warning was in effect for Haiti; the southern coast of the Dominican Republic, the southeast and central Bahamas; and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Tropical storm conditions, including winds of at least 39 mph, were expected in the southeast Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos on Thursday, and conditions were possible Thursday night across the central Bahamas.
The forecast also suggested Emily could skirt the east coast of Florida by early Saturday, but no watches or warnings were posted for the U.S. mainland as of Wednesday.
CNN's Ed Payne contributed to this report.

HOUSTON (AP) Houston Rockets guard James Harden missed Monday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs with a sprained right ankle.
Harden was injured in the first half Saturday night against Dallas, but remained in the game and finished with 39 points.
The Rockets had hoped he would be able to play against the Spurs, and coach Kevin McHale still wasn't sure if he'd be available less than 1 1/2 hours before the game.
Harden is the team's leading scorer at 24.7 points per game and also averages 5.6 assists.

American Indians and
the Edgar Cayce Readings
By John Fuhler
Eleven thousand years ago, an event that would forever change the face of North America occurred: a mother with an exceptionally rare genetic marker bore a daughter, who passed along the same genetic marker to her daughters. This particular genetic marker (Haplogroup X2) directly links the peoples of Northeastern North America to the peoples of the Eastern Mediterranean and North Africa. Currently the actual migration route by which this was achieved is unknown inasmuch as contemporary archaeology is concerned. What can be demonstrated by geneticists is the populations with this specific genetic marker migrated out of Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean into Eurasia and North America around or after the Last Glacial Maximum. Based on the nature of the mutations distinguishing the American from the Middle Eastern form of this genetic marker, these populations arrived in North America no later than 11,000 years ago.
Source Wikipedia
Distribution of haplogroup X
Of great importance to this discussion is that the American Haplogroup X2 is linked to the Western Eurasian version of this marker. Haplogroup X is unknown in Siberian or East Asian populations; and the eastern-most mutation of the marker, occurring in the Altay Region of Central Asia, didn't arrive there until some 4,300 years after Haplogroup X2 had appeared in America.i
Until recently American anthropologists held firmly to the hypothesis that all indigenous American peoples were descended from one group of Asian people who crossed the land bridge over the Bering Sea during the last Ice Age. This hypothesis is being challenged on all sides, and not only by the genetic data, but also by archaeological and linguistic data.ii
|Source Wikipedia: DNA
In a recent article in the Occasional Papers of the Epigraphic Society, data corroborative of the geneticists' findings demonstrated the intimate relationship between the languages of the Algonquian peoples of Northeastern North America, and the Afro-Asiatic languages of North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean. Using several measures of linguistic affinity, the genetic relationship of the two language families was proven. Among the data given, it was demonstrated that the similarities between the Menominee and Hebrew pronominal affixes being due to chance is 0.000005. This greatly exceeds the measure of 0.00001 required to establish a (linguistic) genetic relationship. Another example was a comparison of the Proto-Afro-Asiatic and Proto-Algonquian pronominal systems. The probability of the similarities between the two proto-languages being due to chance is 0.00000625. Again, the genetic relationship is affirmed. And as if these two measures weren't enough, a statistical analysis of two sets of words, one Egyptian, the other Ojibwa, each set representing a group of words derived from a common root, revealed the probability of these being similar by chance is 0.000000039!iii
American anthropology cannot explain these relationships. Prior to the discovery of Haplogroup X, there was no serious consideration of the possibility of a trans-Atlantic relationship between Old and New World peoples. Even today it is so challenging for conventional archaeologists to explain the genetic relationship, several scholars continue to cleave to the old hypothesis of the trans-Beringia crossing. They choose to believe a group of adventuresome individuals, the women bearing the Haplogroup X2 marker, traveled some 10,000 km. (6,000 mi.) from the Altay Region of Central Asia to the Western Great Lakes of America, the heart of the genetic marker in America, without leaving a telltale genetic trace along the way!

An Ojibwe named Boy Chief,
by the noted American painter George Catlin
The questions arise, then, from where did these trans-Atlantic populations come, and how did they arrive at their final destinations? The Edgar Cayce readings provide tantalizing clues. Before embarking upon the explication of specific readings, it must be kept in mind that Mr. Cayce's contemporary archaeologists believed the Algonquian Indians had only entered the continent about 366 CE!iv Their apparent route was across the Bering Strait, down through the Yukon, and then across the Great Plains, all on foot. Since that time, generations of American archaeologists and anthropologists have worked diligently to make the data fit the assumption that all Western Hemisphere peoples came in one wave across the Bering Strait during the last Ice Age through the hypothetically ice-free corridor. Against this backdrop we find Edgar Cayce presenting very different information.
In the readings, the peopling of the Americas was accomplished by several different mechanisms, including Creation, as well as multiple waves of migration. The immigrants came from Lemuria, Atlantis, the Promised Land, etc.
The appearance of man…was in five different places…at the same time. The white race…in the Carpathian basin, the yellow in Tibet, the red in Atlantis, the brown in Lemuria, the black in Africa. (294-202 Report)
Before the final destruction…many of the inhabitants migrated to adjoining countries. The Inca and Aztec were descendants…as were the American Indians… (364-6 Report )
The eastern seaboard was the coastal region of Atlantis… (364-13 Report)
…during those periods…those peoples that were Lost Tribes came into the land… How did the Lost Tribes reach this country? Boats. (Edgar Cayce Reading 5750-1)
Numerous possibilities for dispersion of the Haplogroup X2 genetic marker are suggested in these readings. But several questions arise. During which of the migrations did the populations in question arrive at their current locations? Why, given the frequency of the Atlantis-Yucatan Peninsula relationship mentioned in the readings, is this genetic marker focused on the Great Lakes, and especially the western end of Lake Superior? If the Lost Tribes were the source of the genetic marker, why do the geneticists not find a more recent arrival time, which conforms to the time frame given in the readings? Inasmuch as the Algonquian Language Family is concerned, its entrance into North America appears to have been much farther to the north relative to the Yucatan.v Why are there no readings identifying this area as a place of entrance of the migrating Atlanteans? Or are we to assume that the Atlanteans were already living along the Eastern Seaboard?
On the other side of the Atlantic, the hypothetical progenitor of Haplogroup X2 occurs across North Africa. Is this a vestige of the first emigration to the Pyrenees and Morocco mentioned in Reading 364-6? Does the occurrence of Haplogroup X2 in North America represent the migrations which preceded the final destruction of Atlantis about 12,000 years ago? Remember, it was this wave of emigrants whom Edgar Cayce identified as forebears of the Inca, Aztec, and American Indians.
Many of Edgar Cayce's statements about the peopling of North America, and the Western Hemisphere in general, have only recently and coincidentally been corroborated by archaeologists. It has become increasingly difficult for the archeologists to make the data fit the paradigm.vi The field of linguistics is challenging the conventional wisdom, as well. And much of what the linguists are learning is confirming the evidence in the readings. Given that American archaeology is still in its infancy, one can only imagine what remains to be discovered.

It's not that I'm running out of lesser known records. It's just that I want to remind myself that most of the really great punk bands are the big ones. Like Ramones. And if I can post a known band with a rare sleeve version I'll do it. What the fuck? It's a rare DUTCH sleeve version. Again. To be certain I'm awaiting some comments that can confirm that this is the more rare dutch sleeve. One of my better finds. Payed $5.00 and seen it go for as high as $475. I wasn't that fond of Ramones in the 70's and the main reason was that all of my neighborhood didn't like any other punk band except the Ramones. I thought that was silly when there was so many bands that I though was MUCH better like Pistols, Clash, Generation X, Vibrators etc. During the years I've come to love them more and more. The first punk band who released the first punk album and single. That's how I see my punk history. Touring the UK in the summer of 1976 and gave fuel to the whole punk explosion. They need to be credited no doubt. Still, after Rocket To Russia they should've called it a day.

Are Teen Brains Hardwired for Hazard?
Common risk factors and steps parents can take for four risky teen behaviors.
Feb. 28, 2011 -- There's a lot of evidence to suggest that the teen brain is hardwired for hazard. Studies have found that the areas of the brain involved in social interaction and emotion mature at an earlier point than those that regulate behavior. One 2007 Iowa State University analysis surveyed more than 10,000 adolescents about what went into their decisions, including choices about their behavior.
The answer? Not much. Most seem to rely little on premeditation or planning.
Experts say that the best chance parents and caregivers have of steering their kids safely through the teen years is remaining vigilant about looking for the signs and symptoms of problematic behavior, talking to their children when they suspect trouble and getting help at the earliest opportunity. Here, a guide to the risk factors and steps parents can take to combat risky teen behaviors.
Drugs and Alcohol
At Risk: A sharp uptick in drug and alcohol use occurs as teens enter middle school (sixth or seventh grade) and again when they enter high school (ninth grade). "This is when they encounter an unsettling new environment, and with that comes vulnerability and exposure to drugging and drinking," said Sean Clarkin, director of strategy at The Partnership at Drugfree.org. A family history of drug abuse, a traumatic incidence such as a death in the family or divorce and other mental disorders increase susceptibility.
Red Flags: Red eyes, slurred speech and the smell of pot or alcohol are obvious warning signs, but Clarkin urged parents to keep an eye out for less obvious signs, such as overall changes in behavior patterns. "Teen drug users can be moody, petulant and resistant to discipline, so sometimes it's hard to tell those in trouble from an ordinary teenager, but if a kid is down for a sustained period of time," said Clarkin, "if they have been a reasonably good student or athlete and this begins to slip, or they begin to hang out with a totally different group of friends, parents should be prepared to have a tough conversation."
Take Action: "So many parents say they thought something was wrong and wished they had trusted their instincts." Clarkin said. "When you see there is a problem, you need to act immediately." Having someone outside the family intervene, such as a close family friend, clergy or therapist can be a good first step.
Many kids experiment with drugs, but from a parental standpoint, delaying this phase as long as possible is a wise tactic. Studies find that many long-term addiction problems begin at 15 or younger. Most experts don't recommend snooping except as a last resort -- it's a sure way to break the fragile bonds of trust that may still exist. Instead, begin having a dialog about anything and everything from an early age so the lines of communication are open when it counts.
"Parental monitoring sounds jargony, but you need to stay on top of what your kids are doing, who their friends are and who the kid's parents are so you can connect with them," Clarkin said.
At Risk: Dr. David Shaffer, chief of the department of pediatric psychiatry at New York Presbyterian Hospital, said that teenage girls make more suicide attempts but boys are four to five times more likely to succeed in their attempts. Older teens are also at greater risk than those entering the teen years.
"Adolescents with underlying mental issues such as depression, anxiety or drug abuse are at the highest risk," Shaffer warned.
Red flags: Parents should look for signs of depression, anxiety, irritability and withdrawal that seem to go beyond the usual teenage angst. "Depression in particular is very untreated in adolescents. This is a problem because many don't understand it or know how to articulate it, and because of this parents miss it or don't take it seriously," Shaffer said.
Symptoms of depression can include extreme self-criticism, statements of hopelessness, loss of energy and interest, and neglected hygiene. Changes in sleep and eating patterns are common.The child may also complain frequently of physical ailments, such as a stomachache or make other excuses to get out of going to school and to avoid social interactions. Impulsive, risk-taking behavior, such as drinking and drug taking, are major warning signs, especially for boys. More than two-thirds of suicidal boys are classified as alcohol abusers."
Suicidal boys will often make their attempt spontaneously -- for example, immediately after getting into trouble at school, after someone they know has attempted suicide or even after hearing about a suicide in the media. Perfectionists who can't seem to shut off worry may attempt suicide just before a big, stressful event. Surprisingly, kids in treatment sometimes attempt suicide just as they seem to be making improvements. Shaffer speculated that is when they finally have the energy and the will to carry out their plans.
Take action: If you suspect your child may be having suicidal thoughts, don't delay asking your child about how he or she is feeling. Because teens often won't disclose much face-to-face, consider downloading a depression questionnaire from the Internet and having them fill it out. "That's my top recommendation." Shaffer said. "Studies show kids are more likely to tell a form or a computer how they're feeling than anyone else."
If your teen scores high on a depression screen, or you otherwise suspect he or she may be having suicidal thoughts, Shaffer urges parents to take immediate action. "Take them to the family doctor or a psychiatrist who specializes in youth. The sooner they start treatment the better."
Eating Disorder
At Risk: "We are learning there is a powerful biology connected to the presentation of an eating disorder," said Dr. Walter Kaye, director of the eating disorders treatment and research program at the University of California at San Diego. "Perfectionists, achievement oriented, anxious, compliant teens tend to be at a higher risk though not everyone who suffers from an eating disorder has all of these traits." Girls are more susceptible than boys, and minorities are diagnosed at a similar rate to whites.
Red Flags: Dieting often precedes an eating disorder such as anorexia, warned Kaye. Changes in eating habits such as eating very small meals, going vegetarian and avoiding fat are typical as well, and "becoming very concerned about the way they look and seeing themselves as fat even when they are emaciated."
Bulimics, those who binge and purge but may not lose weight, tend to be secretive about food. "Watch for teens who hide food or who avoiding eating meals in front of others," Kaye advised. Bulimics are more apt to struggle with impulse control and may engage in risk-taking behaviors, such as drinking, promiscuity and even kleptomania.
Both anorexics and bulimics may have a relentless preoccupation with exercise and weight loss. And both groups tend to have distorted body images, seeing themselves as heavy and unattractive. At the same time they may excel in school and other areas of their life. They frequently don't see themselves as having a problem, even when it is obvious to everyone around them that they do.
Take Action: "Unfortunately prevention isn't always possible, but parents who are worried about an eating disorder should seek treatment as soon as possible," Kaye urged. Eating disorders have the highest death rate of any mental illness. The mortality rate associated with anorexia nervosa is 12 times higher than the death rate of all causes of death combined for females under the age of 25.
Kaye advised that family-based treatment tends to be the most successful, with up to 70 percent of patients responding well. "We work in alliance with the family rather than blaming them. There is no evidence that family causes the disorder. The important thing is to work with the anxiety and other symptoms, and put them in charge of eating and maintaining weight," Kaye said. Still, many struggle with symptoms for years, even decades.
At Risk: Although teens cutting themselves with scissors and knifes gets the media attention, adolescents tend to engage in all types of self-injurious behavior. They might stab, choke or burn themselves. Boys, for example aren't as prone to self-injury behaviors as girls but are often more violent. They might jump off a building not in an attempt to kill themselves but as a response to their emotions.
"We don't have great data on who is specifically at risk, but many have other emotional issues and have difficulty at school and with interpersonal relationships," said Wendy Lader, co-author of the book Bodily Harm. An estimated 13 percent of 15- and 16-year-olds have carried out an act of deliberate self-harm.
Red Flags: According to Lader, it can be challenging to identify the extreme emotional distress that precipitates acts of self-harm. "Parents can look for blood and bloody clothes," she said. "Kids may also wear long sleeves, even in warm weather to cover up marks." Previous emotional problems, drug and alcohol use, impulsivity and low self-esteem are also common warning signs.
Take Action: "The best thing to do is acknowledge the underlying emotions. Don't focus on behavior," said Lader. She recommended a professional evaluation to get to the root of the problem. "Kids will not always be honest with you but may be with a professional."
Lader adds, "I hope that parents are concerned about this type of behavior. I get so many e-mails from kids who've tried to talk to their parents about it but they weren't taken seriously as if they've done something bad or did it for the attention. Many parents become dismissive, overwhelmed or overprotective, none of which is very helpful."

Kelly Nangle has been named the second head coach in the history of the Liberty women's lacrosse program.
Kelly Nangle, current head coach at Central Connecticut State, has been hired as the second head coach in Liberty's lacrosse program history, as announced by Director of Athletics Jeff Barber earlier today.
Nangle takes over for Regan Denham, who helped start the program in 2009 and coached the Lady Flames for four seasons, before resigning from her position in May.
Nangle has spent the last two seasons at Central Connecticut State, helping the Blue Devils reach new heights during her two years in New Britain, Conn. She posted a 16-18 overall record and a 12-6 mark in Northeast Conference action.
Two years ago, Nangle helped Central Connecticut State tie a program record with seven victories, while setting new program standards with five NEC victories and six home wins. Nangle was recognized for her efforts, as she was named the 2012 NEC Coach of the Year and her senior keeper Erin DeLancey was selected the NEC Goalkeeper of the Year.
This past season, Nangle's squad finished second in the NEC with a 7-2 conference record. The Blue Devils made their first-ever appearance in the NEC Championship, advancing to the semifinal round.
Central Connecticut State posted a 9-9 overall record in 2012, surpassing the previous school record for overall wins. Six of Nangle's players earned All-NEC honors, which dramatically increased the program's record for all-conference honorees. Central Connecticut State had 11 total previous all-conference honorees in program history.
Prior to her head coaching position at Central Connecticut State, Nangle spent three years as an assistant coach at Rutgers (2009-11). She oversaw the Scarlet Knights' defense, while assisting with recruiting efforts and overseeing Rutgers team academics.
Rutgers posted a 27-21 record during her three seasons in Piscataway, N.J., maintaining a presence in the national rankings each year. The Scarlett Knights' defense improved each season under Nangle, spotlighted by a second-place finish in goals against average in the Big East during her final season with the program (9.06 in 2011).
In 2008, Nangle served as the head coach at St. John's Catholic Prep in Frederick, Md. She helped the Vikings increase their win total by four times during her once season, as St. John's Catholic was winless the year prior to her arrival. Two of her players earned all-conference honors, while two additional players received all-county recognition.
Nangle got her start in coaching at Mount St. Mary's College in Emmitsburg, Md., as a volunteer assistant coach in 2007. During her one year on staff with her alma mater, she worked specifically with The Mount's defensive units.
Nangle graduated from Mount St. Mary's in 2006 with a bachelor's degree in business with a marketing concentration.
During her time on the field with the Mountaineers, Nangle was a four-time All-NEC selection, including first-team honors one year.
The standout defender currently ranks second in Mount St. Mary's history in career ground balls (204), fourth in caused turnovers (116) and 16th in draw controls (65).
Following her senior season, Nangle was selected to play in the Division I North/South All-Star Game. Nangle was the recipient of the John M. Kolon award, given to a Mount St. Mary's student-athlete who embodies hard work and dedication and has earned the respect and admiration of fellow athletes and coaches.
Nangle was also a member of Mount St. Mary's "40 for 40" class, a distinguished group of former female student-athletes that have left their mark with The Mount, as well as following graduation.
During her time at Mount St. Mary's, Nangle was a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and the Captain Leadership Board.
In addition to her collegiate involvement in lacrosse, Nangle has served as the head coach at Ultimate NJ and Girls Club teams.
She has also worked numerous camps and clinics, including Maximum Exposure Lacrosse (2010-present), C2 Lacrosse Camp (2002-05), Rapid Fire Lacrosse Camp (2006) and Top215 (2012-present).
Director of Athletics Jeff Barber on hiring Kelly Nangle: "We are very excited to have Kelly take over our lacrosse program. She brings great experience to us from the Division I level and has certainly proven herself to be a winner both on the field and off."
"Kelly has a passion for the sport of lacrosse and also in the teaching and development of young women in their academic, athletic and spiritual lives."
Head Coach Kelly Nangle on Taking Head Coaching Position: "I want to thank Liberty University Director of Athletics Jeff Barber and Senior Woman Administrator Erin McKeown for giving me this opportunity. I am very excited to be joining the Liberty Athletics family. Liberty's women's lacrosse program has grown so much during the last several years. I can't wait to get started and continue to build on that success."

Tyresö sign Korpela and secure quartet
Wednesday 11 December 2013
Article summary
Tyresö FF have signed Finland goalkeeper Tinja-Riikka Korpela and extended the contracts of Lisa Dahlkvist, Meghan Klingenberg, Whitney Engen and Christen Press.
Article top media content
Article body
Tyresö FF have signalled their intent to win the UEFA Women's Champions League at the first attempt by signing Finland goalkeeper Tinja-Riikka Korpela. They have also extended the contracts of Sweden midfielder Lisa Dahlkvist and the American trio of Meghan Klingenberg, Whitney Engen and Christen Press, as well as welcoming back Madeleine Edlund from maternity leave.
Korpela, 27, arrives from LSK Kvinner FK on a two-year deal, having missed the Norwegian club's round of 32 exit to Tyresö's Swedish rivals FCR Malmö through injury. Capped 49 times, she was Finland's first choice at UEFA Women's EURO 2009 and 2013.
Coach Tony Gustavsson, whose team play Austria's SV Neulengbach in the quarter-finals in March, said: "Tinja-Riikka is experienced, has good feet, is good in the air and uses her physique in a very good way."
Korpela, who watched Tyresö's home win against Fortuna Hjørring in the round of 16, added: "It was a fun match to watch. I liked the way that Tyresö played, keeping the ball on the ground with lots of runs being made by the players who did not have the ball."
Gustavsson will also still be able to call on Dahlkvist and forward Edlund as well as defenders Klingenberg and Engen, plus top scorer Press after the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) gave them permission to remain in Sweden until the summer. Among those who previously committed themselves to the club is FIFA Women's World Player of the Year nominee Marta.

Most likely "other product".
I actually have the Raritan Atlantes A5 Freedom toilets, not the crowns. Since the water is getting warmer, I may be able to swim under the boat this weekend if we take it out and inspect the hoses. Last year, I noticed a lot of black crud growing on the hoses. I'm guessing that's the permiation coming through and growing mold. Also, my boat simply stinks sitting at the dock and my neighbors have comented about it several times. I can tell it's an annoyance to them. I'm just hoping I can get the proper slope for the PVC to drain properly under the boat. The holding tank is forward from the toilets in order to balance the boat. The boat doesn't seem to be weighted down in the back too much, but I can tell the rear sits slightly lower - that's where all the weight is.

The Atlantes supposed to be able to process the "other" product. But, if it is vibrating a lot, then something is in there.
How are your holding tanks vented? If your boat smells just sitting there, then it might be your vent. The hoses would have to be in terrible shape to be smelt from the dock.
There is a vent. When under the boat, I couldn't tell if it was hooked up properly b/c the view is obstructed. I was told to blow water down the vent tube to clear any obstructions, which I'll try this weekend. I'm going to study this thing in much greater detail when I can get in the water this spring.

Most factory installations have a charcoal filter in the vent line. Age or water will ruin the filter. They are a maintenance type item that need to be replaced periodically. If there is no vent filter, then you have to have a lot of ventilation in order for the holding tank not to smell - think 1 1/2 cross flow vent lines.
This is the vent filter that I have - http://www.bigorangefilter.com/
I hope this doesn't turn in to a thread hijack, but I'm wondering why macerator toilets are common on houseboats. I can see a macerator in a different time or place like an ocean-going yacht that grinds and discharges raw sewage on the high seas. But houseboats don't spend much time on the high seas.
My boat has an RV-style toilet that drops through a 3" pipe that I'm guessing is PVC or ABS about 6 inches long directly into my black water tank. I have a second toilet connected to the same tank with about three feet of 3" hard pipe. I have not experienced a plug and I use toilet paper from Costco rather than the marina. Other than replacing a $35 flush valve, the only time I have touched the toilet is with my foot to flush it and with, um, other parts of my body to use it. I used to have smell problems, but those went away when I extended my 1.5" vent stack about 8 feet above my roof.
I can see advantages to a straight-drop RV toilet, but there must good reasons for using macerators since most houseboats have them. Can anyone educate me as to what those good reasons are?
I have wondered this myself.
My friend's 1998 model 80' Sumerset was remodeled by the previous owner who yanked out the marine toilets and installed house style toilets instead. He's owned the boat nearly a year now and has had no problems whatsoever with the entire system.

I think it is just how houseboats evolved. The first ones did not have the front to back "basement" space below the floor. Many of the floors of the bathrooms were actually below the waterline. So, you had to have a macerator type toilet to grind and then pump the waste uphill and into the tank.
I can think of a couple of reasons for using a macerator... It chops the waste into pieces small enough that will flow through a relatively small hose (1" in my case) some distance to the holding tank or even uphill. It also makes the waste easier to pump OUT.
However as most modern houseboats now have the head above the waterline and the tank, I think the much simpler Sealand type toilet might be a better option provided it's plumbed correctly.
Household toilets have been developed over many years and work too, but they use much more water than any marine toilet I know of, which means you'll fill up the holding tank that much quicker.
She's a tired old barge but she's paid for!
How do I find a what model head I have so I can order parts? It just says "Raritan". I've looked on all sides. The FloJet motor/impeller has a nice clear nameplate on it. I'm pretty sure I need to replace the check valve, but I need a part number. The boat is 13 years old.

Month: May 2011
Summer of Jiu-Jitsu – (Now that's what's up!)
Check out my other blog: Psychology of Jiu-Jitsu
From mid-January through through April I was able to attend one class per week (plus two extra during spring break). So I racked up 16 visits in four months. I had a very busy schedule this semester (lecturing, meetings, committees, writing, research, etc.,) but my goal was to maintain a presence and I figured once a week would keep me honest and let people at my new school know that I am serious about BJJ.
The past three weeks I have been attending twice a week and hopefully this week I can up attendance to three or more times a week. I have the next 3 1/2 months off so you know what that means.
The SUMMER of JIU-JITSU has officially begun.
I am really enjoying training at my new academy. The majority of guys and gals that I train with are purple and brown belts. There are also a smattering of Blues and a couple of senior level white belts that swing through every now and then. I also get to roll with a couple of Black Belts periodically.
What does this mean for my game? Well, it feels as if I am having a private session every time I grapple with someone. These guys are immediately able to point out an issue in my game and then give me options (not an option) on how I can correct it. It is funny too that day to day it is difficult to see progression, but I had an epiphany the other day. I remembered when as a blue belt I had an extremely hard time passing other blue belt's guards. Yet now I am able to regularly pass Purple belt's guards and sometimes Brown belt's guards and passing Blue belt's guard is no longer an issue. I could not have done that a year ago.
The guys at my new academy regularly tool me (that didn't sound right) but at the same time I know I am improving. It is difficult for me to gauge my progress against White belts because I hold back and let them work their game. With the big belts it's the opposite (even though I know they let me work my game a little as well).
Anyway, I am looking to put a lot of time in this summer.

American Airlines Plans Pilot Training On Boeing 737 MAX In November...

September 23, 2020 - by Leslie Josephs for www.cnbc.com
American Airlines is planning to start training its pilots on the still-grounded Boeing 737 MAX this November, according to a company memo sent Monday.
The jets were grounded worldwide in March 2019 after two crashes killed 346 people, prompting software and other changes on the aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration is going through some of the last steps that would allow the planes to fly again but hasn't provided a specific timeline.
The FAA last month issued the safety changes needed for the planes to return to service. Public comments on those changes are due Monday.
An American Airlines spokesman said that the company hasn't made any "definitive plans" on the MAX and that the pilot training date can be adjusted based on regulators' work...

"The caution and warning system in the 737 is as archaic as the airframe design. I flew jets made far earlier than the first 737 with a better system," said Woolman, a former B-52 pilot and Rockwell B-1 bomber flight instructor. "Properly analyzing aircraft failures can be like hunting for Easter eggs, especially if struggling with basic aircraft control."
WASHINGTON—Calls for an additional angle-of-attack indicator and concerns over the flight crew's ability to manually trim the aircraft in an emergency are among the issues highlighted in the initial set of comments on the FAA's proposed requirements to approve the Boeing 737 MAX's service return.

Spirit AeroSystems expects not to close its planned $420 million acquisition of Belgium company Asco and has raised uncertainty about closing a planned $500 million purchase of Bombardier's commercial aviation businesses.
Wichita-based Spirit, which makes airframes and aircraft components, says the European Commission is unlikely to approve its purchase of aerospace component supplier Asco by the deal's 1 October deadline.
At that time, the purchase agreement will "automatically terminate", and Spirit does not intend to extend the deadline.
Additionally, "there can be no assurances" that conditions related to Spirit's planned Bombardier acquisition will be met by that...

Raytheon Technologies, a large U.S. defense contractor, announced plans to lay off over 15,000 people.
The cuts will affect the workers at the company's jet engine-builder, Pratt & Whitney, and its aviation and military equipment manufacturer, Collins Aerospace. A number of Raytheon's business divisions have been adversely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
At a Morgan Stanley investment conference, Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes said, "I would tell you the commercial aero team has jumped on this crisis, and they're driving about $2 billion in cost reduction and $4 billion in cash conservation actions this year.
These cost actions include the elimination of more than 15,000 positions across our commercial aerospace and corporate organizations.

September 21, 2020 - by Judson Rollins, Bjorn Fehrm & Scott Hamilton for leehamnews.com
Commercial aviation is facing a lost decade due to COVID.
Yes, most forecasts target 2024-2025 as returning to 2019 passenger traffic and aircraft production levels.
However, LNA in July published its own analysis indicating full recovery may not occur until 2028. Breathless headlines notwithstanding, it will take years for vaccines to be widely available and considered safe by enough of the world's population. Growing concern about vaccine production and distribution capacity through 2024 underscores this view.
Even Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly said earlier this month that business travel might not fully return for a decade.
Indeed, the 2020s may well be a lost decade for aircraft manufacturers and...

Yes, The United States Did Draw Up A Plan To Drop 80 Nuclear Weapons On North Korea

Current nuclear war plans are among any nuclear-armed military's most closely guarded secrets. Details of one such attack plan recently became available, however, revealing that the United States envisaged using 80 nuclear weapons in case of war with North Korea. The way this particular detail emerged is also pretty unusual — the associated passage appeared in U.S. journalist Bob Woodward's book Rage, detailing President Trump's administration, which was published this week.
In fact, the particular quote from the book was not entirely clear:
"The Strategic Command in Omaha had carefully reviewed and studied OPLAN 5027 for regime change in North Korea — the U.S. response to an attack that could include the use of 80 nuclear weapons."
This can be read two ways: a potential attack from the North could involve the use of 80 nuclear...

My name is Normand Hamel. After a 35 year career in aviation I retired in 2009 to better concentrate on my favourite activities: reading and writing. If you wonder what Run-up Pad means it refers to this special section of a run-up area on an airport that can be heated up in cold temperatures to prevent an aircraft from slipping forward when power is applied to test the engines. It also refers symbolically to the yellow pad I am using to write these articles for which I intend to bring our readers to contribution to test my ideas, like one would test an engine to make sure it works properly.

Islam and Islamofascism Larry Houle – 11/8/2007The term Islamo – Fascism gives tremendous creditability to Islam. It perpetuates the myth that Islam is a wonderful religion of peace and love that has been hi – jacked and perverted by a few bad apples of evil Islamo – Facsists, Islamic militants, jihadists, Wahhabism, radical Islam, Islamists. There has been no hijacking. There has been no perversion. These demented souls are following exactly the teachings of the Koran and in the footsteps of the Prophet – Muhammad.The reality is that Osama bin Laden is a true Muslim – a holy man of the book who is following exactly the teachings of Islam as recorded in the Koran.
By not exposing the true nature of Islam, those who use the term Islamo – Fascism etc are elevating Islam to an equal footing with Christianity and other world religions.
Islam is a barbaric, sexist, violent ideology (not a religion) that worships a pagan god (Allah) and women are oppressed under Islam.
How could any person be 'proud' to follow a man who was a pedophile, endorser of clitoridectomy, slave trader, rapist, polygamist, punched his child bride and endorsed whipping/beating women and ploughing them like fields, stoned women to death, flogged his slave women for fornication while he had sex with slaves himself, propositioned women and passed them round to friends, denied women equal inheritance, or equality under the law etc forever and abused and denigrated them in every way–not to mention his general sadism to others, mass murder, beheading captives, massacres, terror, torture, owning slaves and raping them, looting and pillaging, amputations, flogging, thievery, lying, hate, megalomania— unending horror.
All Muslims believe the Koran is the Eternal divine word of God – the Eternal laws of God. All Muslims believe that God authored the Koran and a copy of the Koran is in heaven. The Koran remains for all Muslims, not just "fundamentalists," the uncreated word of God Himself. It is valid for all times and places forever; its ideas are absolutely true and beyond all criticism. To question it is to question the very word of God, and hence blasphemous. A Muslim's duty is to believe it and obey its divine commands without question.
Following are some of the close to 1000 Islamo – Fascist teachings of the Koran that are not sins against God, are not crimes against God but are THE LAWS OF GOD.
4:24 And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned, so that ye seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not debauchery. And those of whom ye seek content (by marrying them), give unto them their portions as a duty. And there is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual agreement after the duty (hath been done). Lo! Allah is ever Knower, Wise.
"All married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. You can't have sex with married women, unless they are slaves obtained in war (with whom you may rape or do whatever you like)." 4:24
If some one kills your freeman, you must kill one of their free men, if some one kills your slave, you must kill one of their slaves, if some one kills your woman you must kill one of their women.
2.178 O true believers, the law of retaliation is ordained you for the slain: The free [shall die] for the free, and the slave for a slave, and a woman for a woman.
23.1-6: Successful indeed are the believers, Who are humble in their prayers, And who keep aloof from what is vain, And who are givers of poor-rate, And who guard their private parts, Except before their mates or those whom their right hands possess, for they surely are not blameable.
Quran-8:41— "And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war), a fifth share is assigned to Allah,- and to the Messenger, and to near relatives, orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer,- if ye do believe in Allah and in the revelation We sent down to Our servant on the Day of Testing,- the Day of the meeting of the two forces. For Allah hath power over all things.
Quran-33:27- "And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods, and of a land which ye had not frequented (before). And Allah has power over all things." [Merciful Allah asked Prophet Muhammad to confiscate entire properties of the surrendered Jews]
However if the victims surrendered without any fight, all the booty belonged to Muhammad.
59.6 Allah gave all the booty (Fai') to His Messenger (Muhammad SAW) if the unbelievers surrendered without fight.
9:50 When the sacred months have passed away, THEN SLAY THE IDOLATERS (unbelievers) WHEREVER YOU FIND THEM, AND TAKE THEM CAPTIVES AND BESIEGE THEM AND LIE IN WAIT FOR THEM IN EVERY AMBUSH, then if they repent and keep up prayer [become believers] and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them
9:29 Fight those who believe not in God nor the last day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by God and His Apostle, nor acknowledge the religion of truth, (even if they are) of the people of the Book [Christians and Jews], until they pay the jizya [poll tax] with willing submission, feel themselves subdued."
5:36 The punishment of those who wage war against God and His Apostle, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;
Quran-8:17—It is not ye who Slew them; it is God; when thou threwest a handful of dust, it was not Thy act, but God's….." (Allah said, the killing of surrendered soldiers were done by the wish of Allah)
Quran-8:67—"It is not fitting for an Apostle that he should have prisoners of war until He thoroughly subdued the land…." (Allah insisting Prophet to kill all the prisoners, and should not keep any surrendered prisoners alive until He (Prophet) occupied entire Arabia ."
Quran-33:26- "And He brought those of the People of the Book [Jewish people of Banu Qurayza] who supported them from their fortresses and cast terror into their hearts, some of them you slew (beheaded) and some you took prisoners (captive)"
4:88-91 Why should ye be divided into two parties about the Hypocrites? God hath upset them for their (evil) deeds. Would ye guide those whom God hath thrown out of the Way? For those whom God hath thrown out of the Way, never shalt thou find the Way. They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of God (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them;
Koran sura 5.6 (repeated in sura 4.43 –re removing pollution before praying) And if ye are sick on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet or ye have contact with women and ye find not water, then go to clean high ground and rub your faces and your hands with some of it
"When it's time to pray and you have just used the toilet or touched a woman, be sure to wash up. If you can't find any water, just rub some dirt on yourself. 5:6
Qur'an 4:43 "Believers, approach not prayers if you are polluted (had sex, farted, attended call of nature or touched a woman).
2:223 Likens a woman to a field (tilth), to be used by a man as he wills: "Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) so go to your tilth as ye will;"
65.4 You can marry (and divorce) little girls who have not yet reached menstruation age.
65.4 For those who have no courses (premenstrual underage girls i.e. they are still immature) their 'Iddah (prescribed period) is three months.
4:11 God (thus) directs you as regards your Children's (Inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females
4:176 They ask thee for a legal decision. Say: God directs (thus) about those who leave no descendants or ascendants as heirs. … if there are brothers and sisters, (they share), the male having twice the share of the female.
4:14 Women have very little intelligence—their own testimony is inadmissible in rape cases; in other matters their testimony is half to that of a man
Men can marry up to four women if they treat them equally; unlimited forcible concubines permitted
In Islam, not only are men allowed to practice polygamy, but they may also capture women in war and use them as sex slaves. This is considered morally legitimate according to the Quran. In other words, non-Muslim women have no right to be free from the horror of slavery and serial rape by Muslim military men.
4:3 Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.
Muhammad can go beyond the four-wife restriction, can treat his own wives and sex slaves unequally
33:50-52 O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom God has assigned to thee; and daughters of thy paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of thy maternal uncles and aunts, who migrated (from Makka) with thee; and any believing woman who dedicates her soul to the Prophet if the Prophet wishes to wed her;- this only for thee, and not for the Believers (at large);
An evil Paradise of big breasted, big eyed Hurs to be sexually molested for all eternity as a reward for those who slay and are slain in the service of God.
9:111 "Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden ( Paradise ) will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain"
"As for the righteous (Muslims)…We (Allah) shall wed them to beautiful virgins with lustrous eyes" – Q 44:51-54
"Lewd" women should be punished with life imprisonment
4:15 If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, Take the evidence of four (Reliable) witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them to houses until death do claim them, or God ordain for them some (other) way.
It is unclear what "lewdness" actually means. This verse is so open-ended, almost any woman could potentially be accused of lewdness and sentenced to a life of house arrest, except ultraconservative women who never do anything to offend strict Muslim men.
Stealing should be punished by amputation of hands
5:41 As to the thief, Male or female, cut off his or her hands: a punishment by way of example, from God, for their crime: and God is Exalted in power.
When a person has no hands, they probably cannot earn a living anymore, so they will end up as a beggar on the street. That doesn't seem very beneficial to society. Also, before medical sanitation and anesthesia, amputation of the hands was in many cases the equivalent of a death sentence.
Adultery and fornication must be punished by flogging with a hundred stripes.
24:2 The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by God, if ye believe in God and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.
This verse leaves no other option for Muslims who believe in the divine origin of the Quran. It specifically says they must not have mercy on people who have committed adultery or fornication, and that this brutal punishment of 100 lashes is "prescribed by God." However, since other verses in the Quran specifically allow men to have sex slaves, the horrible crime of serial rape against a non- Muslim is allowed.
Does anyone truly believe that God would have as His Prophet for His one and only true religion a criminal – Muhammad and teachings of slavery, rape, murder etc. Is this a rational, reasonable human thought that God would be a criminal involved in these evil criminal acts.
Is it a rational human thought that God would create a religion that allowed His followers (believers) in His one and only true religion to require His believers to murder unbelievers after giving them a warning to convert or pay a submission tax. Is this rational ? Is this reasonable?
Is it a rational human thought that God would create a religion that allowed His followers (believers) in His one and only true religion who slay and are slain in His service to ascend to an evil Paradise of big breasted, big eyed virgins (Hurs) that they can sexually molest with eternal hard ons for all eternity in the presence of God who teaches you how to engage in orgies, group sex. Virgins that re-generate as virgins after each sex act. Is this rational ? Is this reasonable? How can you be normal and believe that by fulfilling Kornic teaching 9:111 (quoting again) – "Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain" you will go to this demented sexual whorehouse of God and not directly to hell and damnation.
Is it a rational human thought that God would create a religion with such an evil sexually depraved Paradise . Is this rational ? Is this reasonable?
Is it a rational, reasonable human thought that God would create a religion that allowed His followers (believers) in His one and only true religion to enslave the unbelievers, breed and sell them. Is this rational ? Is this reasonable?
Is it a rational human thought that God would create a religion that allowed His male followers (believers) in His one and only true religion to rape unbelievers and gang rape them. Is this rational ? Is this reasonable?
Is it a rational human thought that God would create a religion that allowed His followers (believers) in His one and only true religion to marry up to 4 women and His
Prophet to marry as many women as he desired and own and rape his slaves. Is this rational ? Is this reasonable?
Is it a rational human thought that God would create a religion were women are evil, vile creatures – ½ human beings. Is this rational ? Is this reasonable?
Is it a rational human thought that God would create a religion that allowed His followers (believers) in His one and only true religion to require His believers to share the booty gained from the looted property of the unbelievers and from the sale of slaves with God Himself. Is this rational ? Is this reasonable?
Is it a rational human thought that God would create a religion that allowed His followers (believers) in His one and only true religion to amputate hands or flog to death (100 lashes is death) for robbery or adultery.
Is it a rational human thought that God would create a religion that allowed His followers (believers) in His one and only true religion to murder freemen, slaves and women in retaliation for someone killing one of their freemen, slaves, and women.
We can go on and on.
Islam was the invention and creation of Muhammad. There was no Allah. The Koran is the teachings of Muhammad and not any God. By not exposing the truth of Islam, and trying to be politically correct and not be labeled as a racist or Islamaphobic , these people utilizing these terms are doing us all a grave disservice. By perpetrating the myth of a hijacking and perversion of the teachings of Islam, they are granting Islam – legitimacy.
Islam is totally and completely bogus – a sham and a fraud.

UMass-Lowell tops Boston University for Hockey East title
UMass-Lowell 1, Boston University 0
Derek Arnold scored with 8:41 left in the third period and UMass-Lowell held off Boston University 1-0 Saturday night to win its first Hockey East tournament championship and end Jack Parker's 40-year run as coach of the Terriers.
River Hawks freshman Connor Hellebuyck stopped 37 shots, including a flurry in the final minutes after BU pulled its goalie and tried frantically to send the game into overtime and prolong the storied career of its retiring coach.
"I didn't say I'd like it to end at the Garden or I'd like it to end in the national tournament," Parker said. "I've won games and I've won tournaments. I wanted this for my seniors, but it wasn't to be. I wasn't thinking, what would be the best scenario?"
Top-seeded UMass-Lowell (26-10-2) added to its Hockey East regular-season title by beating the third-seeded Terriers (21-16-2) for the fourth time this season. And for the first time in nine years, the league champion does not hail from either end of Commonwealth Avenue in Boston.
"Coming from New England, growing up seeing BC and BU win every year, you didn't see Lowell in here too many times," Arnold said. "It's amazing right now and a remarkable accomplishment by the group of guys in that room."
Parker's outstanding career ends with an 897-472-115 record, one win shy of a 25th NCAA tournament appearance and a chance at his fourth national championship. While the River Hawks likely locked up a No. 1 seed in the NCAAs, the Terriers needed the conference's automatic bid to get in.
The 16-team field for the Division I hockey tournament will be announced Sunday, but the 11 at-large berths are determined by a mathematical formula rather than subjective reasoning by the selection committee. Boston University's sports information department acknowledged that a loss Saturday would leave the team short, and Parker said afterward he knew he had coached his last game.
BU fans chanted "Thank you, Parker!" before he headed off the ice for the final time.
Sean Maguire made 28 saves for the Terriers, who knocked off archrival and three-time defending champion Boston College 6-3 in the semifinals Friday night.
His only costly mistake came on a 3-on-2 when he got caught sprawled on the ice as Arnold swept behind the net for the game-winning goal. Maguire dived across the crease and stopped the puck at the goal line with his glove, but the rebound hit the paddle of his stick and bounced backward into the net.
That gave the River Hawks a measure of revenge four years in the making. UMass-Lowell lost to Boston University 1-0 in the 2009 Hockey East championship game, and the Terriers went on to win their most recent national title.
The previous team other than BC or BU to win the Hockey East tournament was Maine in 2004.
