The Shrinking Economy: Time to Get Real about Ecology
The Shrinking Economy: Time to Get Real about Ecology (this article appears in the spring/summer 2011 issue of Green Horizon)
Greg Gerritt
For weeks after the 2010 elections the mass media continued to produce election analysis with the premise that the American electorate is very good at kicking out the party in power when the economy is not doing very well. Not doing well appears to mean the economy is not growing fast enough, at least 3 percent and preferable 4 or 5 percent a year. The articles claim that without this rate of growth unemployment rises and a swath of Congress pays with their seats.
Neither party has been able to find a path out of the endless morass we find ourselves in, at least not using the conventional wisdom and the conventional approach to governance. So we end up in gridlock and a holding pattern that allows the large corporations and Wall Street to continue to loot America while the rest of us struggle. We throw the bums out of Congress whenever we have to bail out the rich after another bubble bursts. We replace them with other bums who will continue to bail out the rich. Such is progress
My premise, and that of many others who look closely at the linkage between ecology and economy, is that due to ecological collapse it may no longer be possible to grow the economy of the United States. The conditions essential for rapid economic growth — a massive infusion of natural resources and cheap places to throw the tras — are no longer applicable to the United States or for the most part on the planet. Cycles of prosperity in the industrial west are becoming ever shorter, and are based more on bubbles and chicanery than actual production. Wall Street and the government pretend that we have economic growth, but if the U.S. adopted some sort of full-cost accounting, refusing to count capital depletion as income, not adding the repair of the damage done to communities by industrialism to the economy, but rather subtracting the damage and cost of repair from the economy, the numbers would show the U.S. economy was actually shrinking. It would not even register the phony growth we now see only during bubbles.
The proximate cause of the economic crash were the financial games played by Wall St. Some claim the continuation of the economic slowdown is the tax structure or the size of the government. The reality is that it is the destruction of ecosystems and depletion of natural resources: the overfishing, deforestation, erosion, elimination of wild things, dirtying of the water and fouling of the air, that has caught up with us. Our technology is not going to fix this in a way that opens the door to growth ever after. Until the political parties describe what is really going on, why a gearing down is appropriate and necessary and how they are going to engineer it rather than doing ever crazier things to prop up the appearances of growth, they will alternate in failed policies and majorities in Congress.
The original version of this essay, available at http://prosperityforri.org/?page_id=95 <http://ProsperityForRI.org/?page_id=95> provides a variety of links to the ecological data and the data that points out that nearly all of the growth in income in the US has for more than 20 years gone to the richest 1% of the population. For at least 40% of the population their actual wealth, wealth, not income, has already shrunk. In other words both ecological collapse and the complete stagnation of the economy are our daily reality despite what the media tells us about the American Dream.
Part of Getting Real: Full Cost Accounting
The US is actually gearing down. A system of Full Cost Accounting would clearly demonstrate less is available after subtracting all the damage. Our old forests are gone and we struggle to keep the second growth we have regained. Our oil is depleted and more and more found in very difficult places to work like the bottom of the Ocean. Food is cheap but has a huge carbon footprint and more and more of our soil sits at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico creating dead zones. We have already made it harder for working people to retire safely, have made medical care harder to access and ever more expensive, fallen behind the rest of the world in clean energy production. Our bridges are failing, and the talk is of shrinking government investments that ameliorate the worst effects of the games the rich play. Detroit is coming back as an agriculture center, not a builder of cars.
Rhode Island is probably a bit further along the road to ruin than most places. The starting point for the Western Hemisphere's industrial revolution, Rhode Island is highly urbanized, has few natural resource industries, dammed rivers, poor soils, depleted fisheries, little agriculture, slowly recovering forests (the flip side of little agriculture), and more industrial brownfields than you can shake a stick at. It has some design based industries, many artists and other knowledge workers, but what it has placed its hopes on, besides windpower, seems to be the medical industrial complex, which is by far the biggest industry in the state. Unfortunately the faster the medical industrial complex grows, the more it sucks the life out of the rest of the economy by making health care for all unaffordable, and draining resources that might be productively utilized elsewhere. ( http://prosperityforri.org/?page_id=37 <http://ProsperityForRI.org/?page_id=37> http://prosperityforri.org/?page_id=29<http://ProsperityForRI.org/?page_id=29> "Health Care in the Economy" RI Policy Reporter issue 17 March 29, 2006 ) The unacknowledged fundamental incompatibility between using health care as a growth industry and affordable healthcare for all, and the squeeze this puts on businesses, households, ecosystems, and communities when overall growth is exceedingly limited has become unbearable and an economic disaster, but understanding of this has not yet made it to the legislative chambers or city halls of Rhode Island. Expanding TF Green Airport or giving money to Curt Schilling to produce video games are also not going to change the fundamental problems or provide a way forward. Like Detroit, the fastest growing industry in Rhode island is agriculture.
A way out of the vicious cycle?
The politicians and the rich propose tax cuts as the answer to all of our problems. This is the only way they can give themselves more money in a shrinking economy. Unfortunately the only result of this is bad schools, deteriorating infrastructure and an unwillingness to face climate change and the ways people are contributing to the problem. Sometimes it seems as if China understands our problem much more clearly than American politicians do and therefore is willing to lend us more money as a way of hastening our demise as a great power.
All over America, and for that matter all over the world, people are experimenting with new forms of economic development. Microlending, clean energy, organic agriculture, community gardens, Zip cars, and mass transit just to name a few. It is still on the edge, on the margins, and ignored by Wall Street until it becomes the next big thing, such as the pseudo organic agriculture being touted by biotech industries, but it is exactly these new ventures, focused on healing ecosystems and doing well and doing good simultaneously that are transforming and bringing prosperity to communities undone by Wall Street.
The American election system is broken. A poll in The Economist found 77 percent of respondents agree. Some of the new tools of democracy would help. Ranked choice votes and proportional representation would help insure that all voices are heard and that new ideas have an opportunity to filter up from the practitioners. But any democracy would be threatened if basic honesty about the conditions we find ourselves in are kept from the discussion. Until discussion of the American economy takes into account ecosystem collapse and the end of growth, we shall continue to get governments that cannot solve the problem and we will get wildly swinging electoral cycles. We shall throw the bums out but we will bring in new bums and continue with the mess they made.

Both private equity firms have extensive experience in the automotive aftermarket and will continue to grow APC by acquiring additional undercar aftermarket companies that meet strategic criteria.

If you' re not afraid of the weather, Scotland can be one of the most beautiful and fascinating of travel destinations. The stunning landscape and rich history could keep a holidaymaker happy for months, so long as he or she isn' t the type that likes doing nothing but lying on the beach.

Finding employment is becoming increasingly difficult in Europe. Employers are very demanding and look for staff with good qualifications and sound experience. The European Union is aware of the problem and offers training and education programmes to improve your skills, make your CV more attractive and better equip you for the labour market. In 1997 the Treaty of Amsterdam gave the Union the responsibility to" promote the development of the highest-possible level of knowledge" for the peoples of the Union" through a wide access to education and its continuous updating" .
On 19th May 1999 the USA saw the biggest madness since Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic. " The Phantom Menace" had its opening in over three thousand cinemas across the States. Fans had been queuing for over a month in hot sun and cold rain because the tickets were not sold in advance. The introduction of the film was preceded by hype in the mass media and mass hysteria unseen since the times of Rudolf Valentino. Traders of Star Wars toys were already booking holidays in the Seychelles and ordering new Cadillacs.
As a new fund-raising plan is announced to raise $4 million to build the Little League Baseball Leadership Training Center in Kutno, the first outside the USA, we review the recent Little League World Series.
Each spring millions ofyoungsters begin their annual journey on the road to Williamsport with dreams of playing in the Little League World Series. In villages and towns on every continent except Antarctica, boys and girls aged ten to twelve take to ball fields in the hope ofqualifying for this mostprestigious tournament of all.
If somebody told you that the tomato you're eating contains a gene taken from a fish would you continue eating it? Like animal cloning, the genetic modification ofcrops is a a hot topic at the moment, especially in Britain, where many people are protesting against it. Recently even Prince Charles joined the campaign.
If you live in Europe, whether in a European Union Member State or not, you will definitely be affected by the EU." Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life," as Humphrey Bogart said in the film Casablanca. He wasn' t referring to the EU, since it didn' t exist in the 1940s when the film was made. But more recent European history has been largely shaped by the development of the EU, and in the future the EU' s influence can only increase.
"We are the future of Europe. The future shape of our continent depends on us." So said the young people who came to Strasbourg from 43 countries for the 50th anniversary of the Council of Europe.
Crocodile tales are always popular among Malaysian children. When I was younger, I was toldcountless stories about the "Mouse deer and the crocodile" , how the mouse deer tricks the crocodile each time it is about to be eaten. But it wasn' t the mouse deer that interested me, it was the crocodile.
Some linguists claim that the Polish language is the second most difficult language to master..... and I won' t argue with that. One of the many reasons I find it so difficult is that the Polish lexicon contains a zillion Zs ... and if you think that I' m exaggerating ...check out these facts:
COLLINS S£OWNIK POLSKO-ANGIELSKI, edited by Jacek Fisiak (The World of English consultant), lists 2,289 Polish words beginning with the letter Z. Its companion dictionary ANGIELSKO-POLSKI contains a grand total of 38 English words that begin with the letter Z.
What on earth is the Council of Europe?

CHF/JPY Could Be Set For Another Break Lower
Matt Simpson July 18, 2019 3:35 AM
Since its bull-trap at the start of the month, a lower high appears ot have formed and the cross is now testing a potential breakout level.
Since its bull-trap at the start of the month, a lower high appears to have formed and the cross is now testing a potential breakout level.
Two weeks ago, we noted that CHF/JPY's bull-trap and subsequent crash through key support had slammed it back onto our bearish watchlist. Sometimes it can take a little longer than you'd like to migrate from the watchlist to a trade (and sometimes it simply never happens), but it now appears CHF/JPY is preparing for its next dip lower.
Over the past week, five doji's have formed below 110 (one being a bearish pinbar) and yesterday was its most bearish day in two weeks. The 100-day average has capped the recent swing high and, whilst the 50-day is acting as support, a clear break of 109.21 support invalidates it and takes it back within its original range.
As a quick re-cap to the prior analysis, CHF/JPY has been trending lower in a choppy fashion since the 118.067 high. We suspect we're nearing the end of anything choppy, sideways correction.
- Near-term bias is for a break below 109.21, bringing the 108.22 low into focus.
- Should the bearish trend, it should also break beneath the 2017 low.
- A break back above 110 / 100-day MA invalidates the near-term, bearish bias.

Resolutions for 2018
Caution! This article was published over a year ago, and hasn't been updated since. Situation, software and support of the topic below could have changed in the meantime.
And now for something very, very original: New year's resolutions in blogs. Yes, I'm sure that I must have invented that.
Anyway: I already more or less publicly committed to things on Twitter, after @helloanselm friendly asked. I also stumbled upon Christoph Rumpel's 2017 retrospective yesterday where he reviews his resolutions he made a year ago. That made me think of writing an article and explaining what I mean.
So here are mine (they may be familiar if you read my answer to Anselm's tweet:
Publish at least one article a month (and this one doesn't count.)
I managed to do that for December (Screenguide #37, print, german) and January (webkrauts.de "At your service", german). So let's continue in this interval. Currently, I'm gathering material for another article on EU's General Data Protection Regulation (here's a link to the first one, "A web freelancer in GDPR land: Down the rabbit-hole").
Concentrate on modern content editing
Not only with WordPress's Gutenberg a.k.a. The Editing Experience Revolution on the horizon, exciting things are happening in the Content Management Sphere: More and more CMS embrace the concept on Matrix fields, meaning the composition of a content page out of pre-defined widgets (for example Craft CMS, ProcessWire or Kirby). And the Drupal team is working on similar features as well. So this topic should be more than worth our attention!
Help organise @a11yberlin
One little idea in the BarCamp part of a11yclub #6 led to something that should have been there before: An accessibility meeting here in Berlin. But it hasn't, and we changed that! So if you are reading this before 16th of January, 2018 and happen to be in Berlin: Join us there!
Finally, refresh my website
As the saying goes, "the cobbler's children have no shoes". So my "official" website has been idle for a long time now and just consists of contact information, and that was totally fine. But now I feel like I should tell and advertise more about the services I offer. So, my commitment: by the end of the year I will have revamped marcus-herrmann.com.

Forgive me Father for I have sinned. I have not updated my blog in 618 days, or 1 year, 8 months, 10 days.
Yeah, wow!
I am amazed I could even find my corner of the interwebs.
(also, I didn't calculate that myself, I am the WORST at math, this awesome little bug did it for me: Duration Calculator)-I am also keeping that link, because Lord knows it will come in handy for a variety of uses!
Today I posted a huge ole thing on facebook (yeah, I haven't ditched it)- and was reminded that I have another outlet for those musings…HERE!
I was pontificating about my day and how I need to stop eating wheat and sugar and this nasty itchy leggy thing I get when I have to much and how I really wanted the new frappuccino at Starbucks and all this other…stuff.
Not just that, I have invested in Kelly Rae Roberts "Hello Soul, Hello Business" group/class/life changing opportunity-not because I have some HUGE idea busting forth but that I have DESIRE to bust forth, just no idea. (such is the life of a self medicating-with sugar-adult with ADD)- so, the theme for march is- WRITING. So, guess what…
WRITING goes here!
Also today had an email from Kelly (her awesome newsletter actually -scroll to the bottom to sign up) and she talked about how we frame our words and thoughts and it was a much needed message after I was a little less than gentle on myself yesterday. This also reinforced another text message I got from a super precious friend first thing this morning.
I got words y'all.
(feels good to be back)
All the words.

Towing Safety Absolutely Critical
Let's face it, there's a great reason why there are many SUV's and pick-up trucks available on the roads today– generally, we are towing more than ever. Proprietors of jet-skis, bikes, pull-behind Recreational Vehicle's, watercrafts– you name it– they all need to tow every so often. While towing is a relatively straightforward operation, security must be made use of or it could become hazardous or perhaps dangerous to other vehicle drivers when traveling.
The correct use of security chains is one way to make certain that the tow vehicle never ever obtains separated from the trailer. Of course, security chains are required by regulation so utilizing them not only keeps everyone risk-free, it additionally maintains you lawful.
When using security chains throughout towing, it is crucial that the chains cross under the tongue of the trailer. If for any type of factor the trailer were to come to be detached from the hitch, those chains will certainly prevent the trailer from falling to the ground and away from the tow vehicle.
While towing, it is very important for the vehicles behind you to understand when you are stopping, transforming, or utilizing your fronts lights. It is required by law that any trailer have brake lights, directional signal, and tail lights that operate in unison with the lights on the tow vehicle. If they don't, the people behind you may obtain baffled or otherwise be aware that you are braking or turning and a crash is likely. Unique wiring harnesses are generally supplied with a trailer that must hook into the electrical wiring of the tow vehicle. They may be acquired independently at most car components shops if your trailer does not have such a circuitry harness.
You likewise never ever wish to be towing anything that surpasses the optimum tow capacity of your vehicle. There are in fact 2 very good reasons for this. When towing trailers beyond the towing capacity, the very first is that you will certainly harm your vehicle's drive train. The 2nd factor is associated with the initial: ought to your drive train stop working and you are towing something up an incline– well, you get the picture!
Be sure that whatever you happen to be towing is secured properly. Changing lots can trigger serious handling troubles while towing. And in the most awful situation situation, an unsecured lots might just diminish and trigger you genuine headaches while threatening vehicle drivers.
By following the straightforward security pointers provided above, you ought to safely move cargo from factor A to point B without incident. Towing is a reasonably simple procedure but it ought to just be done when security is made priority one.
If for any factor the trailer were to come to be detached from the drawback, those chains will stop the trailer from dropping to the ground and away from the tow vehicle. It is needed by legislation that any type of trailer have brake lights, turn signals, and tail lights that work in unison with the lights on the tow vehicle. You likewise never desire to be towing anything that surpasses the optimum tow capability of your vehicle. The initial is that you will damage your vehicle's drive train when towing trailers past the towing ability.

Bauman defense seeking 2nd psych exam, awaits opinion on motion to suppress evidence
Court officials may have to wait a few more days for the official green light on two motions in the defense of the man charged in a fatal shooting of an off-duty cop that also injured two others.
Bill Colovos, Joshua Bauman's lawyer, asked St. Clair County Circuit Judge Daniel Kelly to suppress evidence involved in locating his client hours after the shooting occurred in August, as well as to allow an independent psychiatric evaluation of Bauman's criminal responsibility.
The lawyer filed notice of intent to seek the insanity defense last year, and Bauman has already undergone one evaluation. Kelly told Colovos, "I'll be glad to give you a court order," for another examination by a third party but asked he better specify what equipment that individual may need to take into the jail to conduct it.
On the motion to suppress, Kelly said there was a lot of information presented by Colovos and Assistant Prosecutor Melissa Keyes he wanted to "put some thought" into. He told the two he planned to issue an opinion and "have it to you within a week."

Colovos has said that contacting Bauman's cell provider to "ping" the location of his phone between just after 1 a.m. and shortly before 5 a.m. after the shooting violated his Fourth Amendment rights and evidence obtained as a result should be suppressed.
He reiterated the concern Monday, once again citing a June U.S. Supreme Court decision that narrowly concluded using cell records to assess locations could be a constitutional violation.
"That's a good four hours they could've obtained a search warrant and they didn't," Colovos said. "Our motion is based (on how) my client … is entitled to a right to privacy."
The defense lawyer also refuted the prosecution's claim that police were under "exigent circumstances," in attempting to locate Bauman.
At the time, Keyes said, "We knew he was armed with a handgun. We knew he had shot three people," adding it was still considered an emergency pursuit of a suspect.
"The fact that four hours lapsed didn't change the urgency," she said.
Bauman is charged with first-degree murder, two counts of assault with intent to murder, first-degree home invasion and felony firearm.
Police have said Bauman, 30, broke into his estranged wife's Clyde Township apartment, where he allegedly fatally shot Port Huron Police Lt. Joel Wood before shooting her three times and her neighbor once.
Both Ashly Bauman and her neighbor survived the attack.
No future court dates were set as of Monday afternoon.

After Josh Beckett got shellacked by the Indians last night he faced the press. Not surprisingly, the press asked him about the golf-between-starts-despite-maybe-having-a-bad-back thing. Beckett politely — but defensively — told the press to mind its own business when it comes to his free time:
"I spend my off days the way I want to spend them," he said. "My off day is my off day. We get 18 off days a year. I think we deserve a little bit of time to ourselves."
Then, when asked about the Fenway fans booing him off the field, he brought the honesty:
"It was directed at me," Beckett said. "I pitched like sh**. That's what happens. Smart fans."
And while this will no doubt bring forth five days of people criticizing Beckett's golf habits, the fans don't boo and this isn't a big deal if Beckett simply pitches well. That's the problem here. Not "the perception problem," as John Tomase puts it in this Boston Herald article. Just as no one would have given a rip about beer and chicken if the Sox hadn't sucked on the field last September, no one cares about the golf if Beckett gets outs.
In other words, what fixes "perception problems" is not pitching like sh**.

Lee WestwoodTag: Lee Westwood
Westwood and Bjørn confirmed to be in Valderrama next month
Ryder Cup heroes Thomas Bjørn and Lee Westwood will return to the venue where they made their debuts in the biennial contest between Europe and the United States, confirming they will tee it up in the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters hosted by the Sergio Garcia Foundation from April 30 – May 3.
The pair made their Ryder Cup bows at Real Club Valderrama in 1997, when Europe, captained by the late, great Seve Ballesteros, retained the coveted trophy with a 14½ – 13½ victory.
They contributed 3.5 points to the European cause, as Westwood earned two points alongside Nick Faldo in foursomes and four-ball matches, and Bjørn earned a half in the Sunday singles against Justin Leonard, adding to the point he won with Ian Woosnam against Leonard and Brad Faxon.
Westwood is bidding for a European record-equalling 11th Ryder Cup appearance at Whistling Straits later this year. The 46-year-old is just outside the qualification spots for Padraig Harrington's side, but is currently second on the Race to Dubai Rankings presented by Rolex after his victory at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship presented by EGA in January.
"There isn't much you can say about Valderrama that hasn't already been said," said Westwood. "It's a fantastic golf course, and 1997 was very special because I made my Ryder Cup debut there and then won the Volvo Masters a few weeks later.
"It is an incredible test of golf, and it's testament to Robert Trent Jones' design that it has remained unchanged over the last 30 years. It's a course that we all enjoy playing, and credit goes to Sergio Garcia and his foundation for helping to develop this tournament over the last four years."
His close friend Bjørn is also looking forward to returning to the venue where his Ryder Cup journey began, culminating in his victorious captaincy two years ago at Le Golf National, Paris.
"Valderrama is an excellent golf course, and a test which we all enjoy returning to," said the 15-time European Tour winner, who celebrated his 49th birthday earlier this month. "To make my Ryder Cup debut in a side captained by Seve, in his home country, and at a world-class venue, was incredibly special."
The pair will join a host of other European Tour stars at Real Club Valderrama as the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters returns to the famed venue in April.

Judge halts movie industry-backed probe against Google
A federal judge has agreed to put the brakes on an investigation into Google by Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood after the company complained that Hood's inquiry was an illegal censorship campaign cooked up by Hollywood.
In a Monday ruling, U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate issued an order that will temporarily bar Hood from forcing Google to comply with the terms of a 79-page subpoena.
"Today, a federal court entered a preliminary injunction against a subpoena issued by the Mississippi Attorney General. We're pleased with the court's ruling, which recognizes that the MPAA's long-running campaign to censor the web—which started with SOPA—is contrary to federal law," Google wrote in an update to an earlier blog post describing the case.
The ruling by Judge Wingate came from the bench, and a written version is expected to follow in the next week or two.
"Google has the better side of the legal arguments," the judge told the court, according to a spokesperson for the company.
The ruling is a major victory for Google, which filed a lawsuit challenging Hood's 79-page subpoena in December.
The ostensible goal of the subpoena is to help Hood discover if Google is violating Mississippi laws by exposing internet users to drugs and pornography. Google, however, filed a court challenge on the ground Hood overstepped federal laws that shield internet companies from liability for what others post online.
The case has also taken on an air of intrigue in light of a secret scheme, known as "Project Goliath," that came to light as a result of the massive hack on Sony in December 2014.
Documents disclosed by the hack suggested that the Attorney General's campaign against Google was being underwritten by the Motion Picture Association of American, and even involved movie industry lawyers drafting legal papers for the state. The company has characterized the state investigation as a dirty-tricks campaign by the movie industry to promote the goals of a failed anti-piracy law known as SOPA.
Hood has already come under fire for being among Democratic state attorneys general who appear to have been farming out the investigative powers of their offices to private law firms in return for a cut of the profits.
Monday's ruling does not put an end to Mississippi's investigation, but rather puts it on hold while the parties file more evidence. Hood has tried to frame his investigation as a populist campaign on behalf of the state's citizens and argued that Google should pursue its claims of over-stepping in state, not federal court.

The Plan was launched this morning via a regional video-conference which brought together dignitaries and public and private sector representatives from across the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU).
Governor of the ECCB, Timothy N. J.

Victor Oladipo on season-high 36 points: 'I was just trying to do whatever it takes'
TORONTO – For long stretches of Friday's game, it appeared the Indiana Pacers' defense didn't make it through Canadian customs.
The Toronto Raptors had success offensively, regardless of who was in the game, regardless of which sets they ran. If you were a Raptor, you wanted a piece of the action. DeMar DeRozan led Toronto with 26 points, but there was no need for DeRozan to go crazy, as seven Raptors were in double figures. The Pacers simply could not make a defensive stand long enough to keep the Air Canada Centre crowd quiet, or to keep Toronto for going on run after run.
Losing their second straight game against a quality road opponent, the Pacers dropped a 120-115 decision and fell to 12-11 on the season. The Pacers wasted another standout performance from guard Victor Oladipo, who carried Indiana with a season-high 36 points on 14 of 22 shooting from the field. Oladipo kept the Pacers in the game, but while Oladipo was lighting it up, the Raptors picked apart Indiana's defense.
Trailing throughout the fourth quarter, the Pacers rallied in the final minutes after trailing by 14 points with just over six minutes to play. Darren Collison and Lance Stephenson both missed 3-pointers with under two minutes to play that could have pulled the Pacers to within two points, and Bojan Bogdanovic missed a driving layup attempt with 35 seconds to play that could have pulled the Pacers to within three. DeRozan's two free throws with 27.1 seconds to play put Toronto (14-7) up by seven and sealed Indiana's fate.
Here are three observations from the Pacers' loss in Toronto:
1. The Pacers' defense has been slipping for a week.
Indiana has given up at least 109 points in its last three games. When you want to play up-tempo like the Pacers, you are going to give up more points than teams who prefer a halfcourt game. But the Pacers are giving up too many layups, too many uncontested jumpers, too many points in transition. Those are the baskets that lead to runs by the opponent, the kind of runs the Raptors enjoyed in this game.Toronto backup center Jakob Poeltl had a career-high 17 points, on 8 for 8 shooting. Early in the fourth quarter, Toronto guard Norman Powell stormed down the lane and dunked with little resistance. It's one thing when James Harden is lighting you up. But Jakob Poeltl and Norman Powell? That shouldn't happen. The Raptors had 70 points in the paint, compared to 44 for the Pacers.
"There is no excuse for that, just no excuse," said Pacers coach Nate McMillan. "Absolutely no presence down there at all."
2. Oladipo could not win this game alone, but it was still fun to watch.
For most of the third quarter, Oladipo was the Pacers' offense. He made jumpers, he scored in transition, he made fundamental plays, he made spectacular plays. You could hear that murmur from the Toronto crowd, the murmur you hear when an opposing player is making fans notice, even though they don't want to cheer. After making a corner 3 near the Raptors' bench, he turned and glared at several Toronto players who apparently had been talking trash. Not a good idea to mess with Oladipo when he's smoldering hot. Oladipo loves playing at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, but he also loves playing on the road. He loves silencing the crowd. He loves coming into the opposing team's house and wrecking it. All of those are the traits of a special player in the making.
"I was just trying to do whatever it takes to keep us going, to keep us in the game," said Oladipo. "It was a tough loss, we have to learn from it."
Oladipo has already answered the question of whether he can be a key piece of the Pacers' future. The bigger question is — just how good will Oladipo be when he reaches his apex. The way he's playing, it's dangerous to put a ceiling on Oladipo. The way he works, the best is probably yet to come. That's a pleasant thought for the Pacers.
3. Myles Turner's knee injury did not appear to be a problem.
It was questionable whether Turner would play, but he had a solid game with 17 points and six rebounds in 34 minutes of action. The last thing the Pacers need is an injury to one of their starters. But unless Turner's knee swells up again, it looks as if he will avoid missing more time, after missing seven games earlier this season with a concussion.
"I've got two days to recover, it's a bruise, swelling wasn't an issue," said Turner. "I pretty much knew I was going to play. It's going to take way more than that to keep me out."

As many as 7 crore traders across the country are expected to keep their shutters closed on September 28 to register protest against acquisition of Flipkart by US retail giant Walmart. The nationwide bandh call has been given by Retailers association CAIT.
"We are observing Bharat trade bandh on September 28. Almost 7 crore traders across country will keep their shutters closed to protest against Walmart acquiring Flipkart," CAIT secretary general Praveen Khandelwal said.
He said that the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) will approach the government to annul the deal as it violates press note 3 of 2016, which clearly says that no foreign direct investment will be allowed in e-commerce.
Reacting to CAIT's call for nationwide bandh, Walmart said it remains committed to contributing to the Indian economy by supporting smallholder farmers, manufacturers, and kirana (grocery) customers.
"Flipkart is a prominent player in India with a strong, entrepreneurial leadership team that is a good cultural fit with Walmart. We believe that the combination of Walmart's global expertise and Flipkart will position us for long-term success and enable us to contribute to India's economic growth," Walmart spokesperson said.
CAIT has challenged Walmart-Flipkart deal before National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).
"If need be, we will take the fight to Supreme Court. Business of traders is adversely effected because Walmart is using e-commerce platform passage as a way to infiltrate goods sourced globally by it to influence Indian retail market," Khandelwal noted.
He alleged that through e-commerce Walmart will dump products in Indian retail market that it sources globally and indulge in predatory pricing and other malpractices.
"Ultimately domestic manufacturing sector and the traders will lose their business because of uneven level playing field," Khandelwal added.
The CAIT is also launching a 90-days Digital Rath Yatra beginning September 15 from Delhi.
"The Digital Rath will have LEDs on its wall and audio system to address people around," Khandelwal said.

The Japanese Takeover
The Treasury Department released the latest foreign holdings data of US debt. The main headline was that Japan widened its lead over China as the top holder of Treasurys in July. Tokyo added roughly $8 billion to $1.13 trillion, while Beijing shed $2.2 billion to $1.11 trillion. This is the fourth consecutive month that Japan has contributed to its portfolio, and it is the fifth straight month that China has decreased its investment in American bonds.
But there were two other interesting findings in the report that are not getting too much attention.
The first is that the rest of the countries in the top five – the UK, Brazil, and Ireland – shed their holdings. The second is that, despite the selloff, total foreign holdings of US debt have risen from the same time a year ago. In July 2018, the total was $6.254 trillion. In July 2019, it was $6.63 trillion.
So, what is happening? That's easy to answer: The rest of the world is in shambles right now.
While the US government's fiscal outlook is bleak, thanks to trillion-dollar deficits and skyrocketing national debt, elsewhere on the planet doesn't look any better. Europe is a lost cause, China is reeling from the trade war, Japan is facing a recession, Canada has a leader draped in blackface and brownface, and everything is just hopeless. Because the US has been the top safe-haven asset for decades, everyone else is turning to the devil they know as opposed to the devil they don't and seeking refuge in the arms of Uncle Sam.
IPOs Bleeding Red
It is a bloodbath out there in the initial public offering (IPO) market. It is so bad that it is reminiscent of 1999 – and you never go full 1999! It turns out that Uber, Lyft, Slack, and WeWork are not saving us from the volatility of the stock market. Bubbles are how we do this, baby.
According to analysis from Goldman Sachs, companies going public in 2019 are projected to produce the lowest profits of any year since the dot-com bubble. The report found that less than one-quarter (24%) of firms that have filed IPOs this year will record positive net incomes, a 20-year low. In 1999, that number was 28%, which plunged to 21% a year later.
The titan of Wall Street also noted that the IPO total has reached a multi-decade high as more than 75 businesses have taken the IPO route, raising $31 billion. This is the second-highest level since 1995.
Liberty Nation reported in October 2018 that most 2018 IPOs lost money. What the heck is going on? Where's the beef? Or, in the case of Beyond Meat, where's the plant-based beef substitute? The meat of the story can be found inside the Eccles Building.
As the Austrian business cycle theory (ABCT) suggests, one of the chief causes of a bubble is the creation of credit, which is cheap these days, thanks to the aggressive pumping of the printing press. Since many of the IPOs are tech-related, it is safe to say that the abundance of credit is flowing into the technology industry. With the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates again, it is also safe to bet that the bubble can balloon even further, which means we will read the same analysis in 2020: This year's IPO class is the least profitable since the dot-com bubble.
A Middle-Class Act
For all the talk of the middle class dying a slow death during the latest 2020 Democratic debates, there is very little evidence to support this claim. It seems that feelings are facts and the bigger the lie the more people will believe it. Whether you are calculating purchasing power or incomes, America's middle class is thriving – and moving up.
The US Census Bureau recently released its annual income report of the American people. The findings highlighted how well the population is doing, in spite of the foolishness of the government and the Federal Reserve. Here is what the study told us:
- 30.4% of US households earned $100,000 or more (a record high).
- 41.7% earned between $35,000 and $100,000.
- 27.9% made $35,000 or less (a record low).
What makes this data extraordinary is when you examine the numbers on a long-term path. In 1968, just 9.7% of households earned a six-figure income, half of the country reported $35,000 to $100,000 in income, and more than one-third of households were low-income. This means that households earning $100,000 or more tripled in the last 50 years.
Mark Perry of the American Enterprise Institute wrote:
"Think about it for a moment and let it sink in — in 2018 nearly one out of three (and more than 39 million) US households had annual incomes of $100,000 or more. And the share of American households with that level of income has increased by more than three times since 1967! Then compare that picture of a prosperous America with millions of middle-class households moving up into higher income groups to the narratives we hear all the time that the American middle class is: losing ground, falling behind, collapsing, stagnating, disappearing, fill in the blank ___________."
Despite complaints about globalization and automation killing jobs, the American people are really living the American Dream.
Roller Coaster Ride
The US economy and markets are in an interesting place right now. Main Street might be doing pretty well for itself, despite a few hiccups, mainly the pavement made out of debt. But Wall Street is offering admission to one heck of a roller coaster ride. IPOs are unprofitable, Treasurys are one of the few attractive bonds in the bubbling market right now, and the Federal Reserve is set to drop money into the equities arena. If you are sitting on the sidelines, bring the popcorn – and Pepto Bismol. If you have skin in the game, you will have intense perspiration and your fingernails will be ravaged.

Chelsea Restaurants
Establishment neighborhood
435 W. 15th St., Chelsea
In a city full of Middle Eastern food carts, Israeli celebrity chef Eyal Shani's Chelsea Market restaurant goes beyond serving just the regional classics.
The Red Cat
227 10th Ave., Chelsea
For years, despite all the foot traffic from the art crowd, there were few, if any, good restaurants in Chelsea. The Red Cat came along in the 90s and changed that, and remains, to this day, one of the few great restaurants in the area. With a laid-back New England vibe, and elegant, American food, it's a great option for a dressy meal in the West 20s.
230 Ninth Ave., Chelsea
Not surprisingly, the pizza dough here is very distinctive, thanks to owner Jim Lahey—of Sullivan Street Bakery fame—and his devotion to good bread. Its casual atmosphere and the chef's terrific use of seasonal ingredients make this a special place.
184 8th Ave., Chelsea
The specialty here is Neapolitan-style pizza—look closely, and you'll see the counter is made of pizza peels. Decor-wise, this is the essential pizza joint, except there's also a full-functioning bar serving up killer cocktails and over 40 Italian beers. The menu is split into two sections: Classica (Napoletana with organic tomatoes and anchovies) and Nuova (sea urchin and pecorino-topped Urcina). All are fired inside a custom-built Stradivarius oven, resulting in perfect pies every time. There's also a selection of imported pastas, cheeses, salumi, and a deep Italian wine list.
158 8th Ave., Chelsea
Restaurateur Gabriel Stulman (Jospeh Leonard, Fedora) and Momofuku's vet Tien Ho launched this French-American bistro in Chelsea. The short menu is bursting with fresh, light, and modern takes on classics from fettucine to bacon-wrapped roast chicken. Weather permitting, dine in their beautifully rustic, tiled garden, surrounded by pots of herbs.
Chelsea Market
75 9th Ave., Chelsea
Located in the old Nabisco building just north of the Meatpacking District, you'll find a warren-like maze of restaurants and specialty shops here. There are many hits, but we like Los Tacos No.1 for authentic Mexican and Num Pang for Asian-inflected sandwiches. And, if cooking a special meal at home is an option, we'd pick up our bread at Amy's, cheese at Lucy's Whey, fresh groceries at the Manhattan Fruit Exchange, and crustaceans at The Lobster Place (they also do great pre-made rolls). You'll also find Bowery Kitchen Supply, Chelsea Thai Wholesale, Kingdom of Herbs, and Posman Books, where the offerings are more suitcase-appropriate.

To help you go through the process of selecting a photographer, I've put together some of the most frequently asked questions I receive each month. If you still have a question after reviewing this document, please feel free to contact me.
1. Does your fee include digital images?
I truly feel that photographs should be printed and displayed as art in your home. This is why a personalized, in-home viewing session will be arranged after your session. Digital options are available, but are not included in the session fee.
Please note that session fees are due upon booking to reserve your date.
2. Do you have a studio?
While I've toyed with the idea of opening a studio, I've found that the best "studio" is where you and your family are most comfortable. Usually, this is at home, but this could also be a park, the beach, a fire station or his/her own front steps. The location for your photo session will be discussed during the pre-session consultation.
3. Do you photograph events?
Absolutely! I adore documenting your family's most cherished life events. In the past, this has included birth photography, baptisms, and baby showers. For 2014 and onwards, I'm pleased to include corporate events as well. Unfortunately, I will no longer be providing birth photography services.
4. What does your wedding package include?
All wedding packages include a complimentary engagement session, as well as your wedding day images on a USB key. More importantly though, you also receive a personalized quote and consultation. This ensures you select only the product you want as part of your wedding package.
Each wedding package also includes two photographers for your wedding day (except destination weddings). This ensures no detail is missed.
5. Do you travel for portrait sessions and weddings?
Yes! In fact, I would love to travel to you for your session or wedding. A travel fee would apply for any distance over 65 KM from my home. Destination weddings offer a slightly discounted package rate and travel/accommodation must be covered by the hiring couple.
6. How long will it take to receive my product?
Once payment is received, photographic product such as prints, canvases and albums will take between 2-4 weeks to process the order and receive it back from the lab. I will contact you to make delivery arrangements.

Shaquille O'Neal's ex-wife says a former friend of the NBA star tried selling her a copy of what he claims is a sex tape featuring Shaq with various other women.
A rep for Shaunie O'Neal told TMZ that Robert Ross set up a meeting with Shaunie just after she had split from Shaq and offered to sell her a sex tape that shows Shaq with other women while he was still with Shaunie.
Ross claims Shaq would bring women to Ross' home and a security camera captured the action.
Shaunie says she never saw any footage – nor can she confirm that such a tape actually exists – and she says she turned Ross down flat because she "wanted nothing to do with it."
Ross claims he was later kidnapped and attacked by 7 gang members including the leader who was friends with Shaq. Ross further claims the men, who are currently on trial for kidnapping and various other charges, were after the tape.
Shaunie says she doesn't believe Ross's story because he's a "liar" who falsely claimed he and Shaunie had a romantic relationship after she separated from Shaq.
So far reps for Shaq have no comment.

Alien: Isolation's survival horror format brings the fear factor - interview & impressions
In space no one can hear you scream but in West Sussex they sure can. Stace Harman puts on a brave face for the reveal of The Creative Assembly's multi-format survival-horror title, Alien: Isolation.
Shinji Mikami, creator of the Resident Evil series and upcoming survival-horror title The Evil Within, recently commented that it has become harder to scare games players. People have become used to the standard horror tropes, Mikami mused, which have been tried and tested to the point of impotence; the tricks are predictable and we've all become too savvy and jaded to be easily moved to terror.
With this in mind, I think Mikami would appreciate the effect that first-person survival-horror Alien: Isolation is having on me. Sat in a darkened room at Creative Assembly's Sussex HQ, wearing headphones and gripping the controller a little too tightly, I'm well aware that my heart rate is up and my palms are clammy. This is the result of being stalked through darkened corridors by a nine-foot Xenomorph and having nowt but a motion tracker, a torch and the ability to hide and hold my breath as a means of evasion.
It only gets worse as I creep agonisingly slowly towards an airlock and a way out, with Ripley's ragged breathing loud in my ears. I'm so very nearly there but the steady beep of the motion tracker is increasing in frequency and, acting on foolish impulse and driven by a need to just get away from this thing, I try to make a run for it. Utter madness, you cannot outrun a Xenomorph.
The small, involuntary whimper of despair that escapes Ripley's lips when she's ensnared by her pursuer makes me want to physically shiver. Instead, I chuckle nervously, take a sip of water and hunker down for another shot at guiding Amanda Ripley safely past a creature responsible for so many of her mother's nightmares.
Alien: Isolation is Amanda's story; a first-person tale of survival horror that takes place on the remote trading port, Sevastopol, that's in the process of being decommissioned. Amanda, now an employee of Weyland-Yutani, has travelled here with a small crew to retrieve the black-box data recording from the USCSS Nostromo, Ellen Ripley's former star-freighter. It's been fifteen years since Ripley senior went missing and, unsurprisingly, Ripley junior has long been anxious for any news of her absent mother.
It's not clear how a Xenomorph came to be in residence at the dilapidated trading port and while there will be other stranded residents dotted around the station who may be able to shed some light on recent events, they're not available here. Indeed, the short slice of game play that I'm party to is taken from somewhere close to the middle of the game without any explanatory preamble and being thrown in at the deep end like this undoubtedly adds to the tension and feeling of helplessness.
While it appears that Ripley isn't going to have access to an arsenal of offensive weapons, she is going to be able to collect tools and crafting materials to fashion items of practical use and those that offer some small means of self defence or diversion. Evidently, you'll need to pluck up the courage to salvage materials in these pressure situations if you're to make the most of the systems available.
"In these encounter spaces we've tried to introduce a risk/reward mechanism in relation to searching," relays UI lead, John McKellan, before responding to my comment that all I wanted to do was escape, not rifle through boxes. "By the time you reach this point in the game you'll be more aware of your environment and more aware of what else is at play, so you'll be able to decide whether trying to reach a room is worth the risk or whether you can come at it from another angle.
"That gives players ownership over their experience because someone can play through the game without doing that exploration, but there will be rewards if you're a bit braver."
That's easy for McKellan to say but while there's likely to be a more gradual build-up to such an encounter in the finished article, the thirty minutes I've spent crawling around in the dark gives me a degree of confidence that Creative Assembly is certainly on the right track in terms of tone and atmosphere, something that many recent Alien titles have lacked. By opting for the insidious horror of Alien over the macho gunplay of its action-packed sequel, CA is offering hope to those that have long hoped for a title to do justice to the Alien licence.
Later, during a tour of the studio, it's encouraging to see numerous references to the original film, taking in concept art, character costume analysis and even an original recording of the soundtrack and audio effects produced 35 years ago. The team at Creative Assembly has a very clear vision for what it is trying to achieve, much of it inspired by Ridley Scott's 1979 Oscar-winning film. What it's achieved so far is impressive, even more so for a developer that's better known for its work on a PC RTS series than first-person multi-format development.
There's so much more information to be gleaned from future reveals and, frankly, a well-judged, tensely orchestrated 30-minute slice of game play conveys little of the wider context of Alien: Isolation. With that in mind, there's a degree of doubt that won't be entirely dismissed until I've been able to learn much more about how the crafting system works, to what extent you'll be able to interact with NPCs, what, if any, weapons might make an appearance and how well-paced and linear the entire experience will be. Sadly for Sega, its shambolic Aliens: Colonial Marines has made us all that bit less trusting of first impressions.
On a brighter note, something that project creative-lead Al Hope says to me right at the end of the day offers some solace and encouragement.
"[In Alien: Isolation] you're always underpowered and you're always the underdog. We want the player not really ever feel too much in control and to be second-guessing what's going to happen next."
I can get on board with this and so while I'm sceptical, I'm also excited. And scared, of course, but that's also quite exciting, too.
Alien: Isolation is set for release on PS4, Xbox One, PC, 360 and PS3 in late 2014

Financial Advisors Take Care About Recomendations
Posted by Steve Tylock on 20 Mar 2009 at 06:46 pm | Tagged as: About the Service, Recommendations
Ever since I've started helping people learn how to use the system, I've had very good results in explaining why Financial Advisors want to use LinkedIn.
When I returned to some of my contacts to see if I could teach the entire office, the reaction was always luke-warm – even though the individual was ecstatic about the potential. At one point, one of them clued me in – as a potential mechanism to contact clients, the IT staff of their organization wasn't keen about LinkedIn.
This week I found another article with a different issue that might get in the way…
As seen in the Financial Advisor Magazine
To read the article for yourself, check out "LinkedIn May Cause Issues For Advisors" on the fa-mag.com web site.
It's short, sweet, and if you happen to be a Financial Advisor, you're better off reading their specific advice. (but come back here when you're done;-)
Regulated behavior
So ok – to be a Financial Advisor you have to follow a set of regulations. One of those regulations is that thou shalt not use testimonials about yourself or your advice.
I'm reasonably certain that's so we as consumers don't have to pick our way among dozens of Financial Advisors, all showing us glowing testimonials. (and you know, there's always somebody in the group that will use fake numbers, and even without that, nobody can predict the future all of the time…)
So yes – a LinkedIn recommendation looks very much like a testimonial. (or rather, I can't see a good way to construct a recommendation that talks about neither the individual or their advice and still presents something positive;-)
Know your field
So – I'm expecting that all Financial Advisors "know" the rules – and that you'll know the rules about your own field.
And if you have rules to follow – make sure you do that! LinkedIn probably doesn't count as a "free pass" for any of them…
To your continued success,
Steven Tylock

Hi Steve,
Thanks for sharing the information of LinkedIn use by financial advisors with your readers and subscribers.
LinkedIn continues to grow as a valuable resource for expanding connections and resources, but it is important that the platform not be used to circumvent rules and regulations that apply to a certain subset of professionals.
Thanks for commenting – and for other readers, you can get to Bill's article directly at http://fppad.com/2009/03/15/adviser-use-of-linkedin-may-violate-sec-rules/ (It is referenced through the link I've provided above, but I'll save you a jump by including it here myself)
One thing that seems reasonable to me is that a Financial Advisor that has a previous career ought to be able to include recommendations for those previous jobs. Something like "Fred is a fine software developer" does not suggest that Fred is any better as a Financial Advisor than anyone else – but please don't take my musings on this as legal or professional advice;-)

April 3, 2007 — -- While we're focused on making money, it's also important to note how to avoid losing it, too.
I responded to ads to stuff envelopes that boasted the potential to earn up to $1,500 a week with little effort. Though I was highly skeptical, I bought a dozen different starter kits for $20 to $50 each, figuring one might work.
Each instructed me to mail flyers aimed at recruiting other people to stuff envelopes. I wasn't promoting a product or service; I was just told to get other people to stuff envelopes with the same offer. If they purchased the same kit, I'd receive a commission.
I'm pretty resourceful, yet I couldn't get this to pan out. I didn't get a single cent. Recruiting people to stuff envelopes is the oldest work-from-home gimmick and it fools new people every day. Don't be one of them.
Christine Durst, author of "The Rat Race Rebellion," says her research indicates the ratio of scams to legitimate opportunities is 42-to-1.
That isn't to say that all home-based opportunities that request money up front are rip-offs. Many legitimate direct-sales companies and others that help you start your own business require a start-up fee to cover the cost of training manuals and supplies to get you going.
Before mailing a check or submitting a credit card payment, talk to a live person about the requirements and the realistic earning potential. Also ask about obstacles and challenges.
If you wanted to become a consultant with Mary Kay or Avon, you'd have no trouble finding people willing to talk -- not just e-mail you -- about how to get started. The same access to information and people should be your standard for any home-based work you consider.
If you are going to send money, ask first about a money-back guarantee. Specifically, find out how you'll have to go about requesting a refund if you're not satisfied and when you'll receive it.
This is especially important for Web sites that require a registration fee for access to listings or for sites that want to sell you an "information packet" or "starter kit."
Check with the Better Business Bureau for any complaints about the company and try to verify the seller's PayPal record. (Similarly, if you have been scammed, be sure to report the nature of your complaint to these outlets as well.)
Do not reveal passwords or personal information. Once you've accepted a job and you opt for direct deposit, you'll have to provide your bank account number, but this information isn't relevant in the application process.
Beyond that, you should never reveal passwords and PINs for banking information or PayPal accounts, even though many online scams request these details. They claim they're only requesting it to determine whether you're an honest applicant. Don't fall for that nonsense.
Remember that just because an ad or posting appears on a seemingly reputable Web site doesn't mean the opportunity has been verified for legitimacy. The big job boards and a wide range of work-from-home Web sites are rich in resources. Yet they often feature ads and links that aren't vetted for accuracy.
With an abundance of opportunities out there, no single source can possibly verify the validity of every opportunity. You must do your own research, inject a big dose of common sense, and follow the advice here to avoid getting ripped off.
Even with all of these warnings, the reality is that good, honest opportunities exist. Just do your homework to make sure it's right for you before signing on.

Hello again honeybees! I haven't posted since December 10th because I subsequently failed Blogmas and took a break from blogging to focus on my exams. But I'm back with a list of my favorite reads of 2018. I was going to do "top 18 of 2018" and then realized that my favorties list was significantly small.
So here are the eight titles that I have absolutely loved this year, and a short description of why I love them. I hope you enjoy and had a good year of reading yourself!
in no particular order:
They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera
I had to start with this book because I read it on January 1st of this year and it changed my life. The general consensus seems to be that this isn't anything special when you compare it to his other novels. I have to disagree. The message behind DeathCast and Mateo's character really resonated with me. Of course this has LGBTQ+ and Latinx rep, so I was bound to love it either way, but it was one of those novels that I read exactly when I had needed it. I will forever be thankful to Adam for writing TBDATE, because it was so much more than a book for me.
everyone's a aliebn when ur a aliebn too by jomny sun (jonny sun)
This book. Ugh my heart. I'm a really emotional person and I read super deep into what I'm sure most people only think is a cute story about an alien. All the lessons Jomny learns hit close to home for me. Particularly "the eternal darkness isn't eternal." At that part I was trying not to sob.
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
I read this one within a couple hours and I really felt for Ponyboy. There wasn't one aspect I didn't relate to and I felt so immersed in this surprisingly short story. This caught me by surprise as I really had no intention of liking the book, let alone loving it.
Gmorning, Gnight! by Lin-Manuel Miranda, illustrated by Jonny Sun
This is literally a book full of Lin's tweets, which goes to show that he is an utter genius and his talent is ridiculous. I've listened to this countless times on audiobook (it's narrated by Lin and if you are familiar with him at all then you know his voice is a dream) and I never get tired of listening to it.
Yes, Jonny Sun is on this list twice because I love his content.
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
This one broke my heart. That's all.
But seriously I'm still not over it and this book was beautiful.
Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli
I really enjoyed this book. If you know me, then you know Simon vs. by Becky Albertalli is one of my favorite books ever and this companion novel/sequel gave me everyting I ever wanted. All I need in my life is more Simon. Please and thank you.
Ready Player One by Ernest ClineI listened to the audiobook for this one and I loved it, mostly in due to the narrator, Wil Wheaton. But I've also read very few books that feature video games and 1980s pop culture. I loved all the different references and the story itself was great. The pure enjoyment I had while listening to this book puts in in my top eight for sure.
All The Crooked Saints by Maggie Steifvater
Honorable Mentions:
What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera
History Is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera
These are honorable mentions because as of writing this, I haven't finished these two but I know they will be long time favorites of mine.
What were your favorite reads of the year? Have you read any of these? If so, what did you think?
Burning Questions:
Bye for now honeybees!
Love, Destiny

GOT7 Jackson Wang's Actions While Being Mobbed At The Airport In Malaysia Showcases His True Personality
GOT7's Jackson is currently making appearances at music festivals around the world to promote his new album Magic Man. Fans have been showing up at airport arrivals to greet the artist in huge numbers, sometimes leading to dangerous situations. Ahgases and Jackys are praising Jackson for his action during one such incident.
Following his appearance at Head in The Clouds in Pasadena, California, and his viral meet & greets around the United States, Jackson headed to Jakarta to perform at We The Fest. Fans enjoyed seeing the artist reunite with Afghan, who he collaborated with for the track "M.I.A."

Following his amazing performance, Jackson went to the airport to head to his next performance location, Good Vibes Festival in Malaysia. While departing from Jakarta, he had no major issues and was able to get through the airport with no problem.
Prior to his landing in Malaysia, videos shared of fans waiting showed a large crowd that seemed organized and left people hoping that his arrival would go smoothly.

Once the GOT7 member arrived, however, the situation quickly turned into a mob, with Jackson struggling to leave despite being surrounded by security.
In spite of all this, Jackson's main concern was for the fans! He can be seen leaving the circle his guards made to help fans that fell over as well as telling guards to "calm down" and asking why they were pushing fans.

it was hectic but jackson wang really being the most considerate person ever 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/hsscGhPbOl
— am☁ (@webiewoo) September 24, 2022
As the crowding got worse as he walked out of the airport, Jackson didn't seem to mind and instead focused on taking as many letters from fans as they offered them.
Once he was able to leave, Jackson tweeted to thank fans for welcoming him to the airport and remind them to put their safety first when it comes to seeing him because it worried him.
So happy to see you all , thanks for welcoming me to this amazing place #Malaysia at the airport.
One thing I gotta say. Be safe. It was a lil dangerous back then, u guys could've been hurt. I truly worry. So Plz, safety first.
I'll see u tonight💋#MAGICMAN
— Jackson Wang (@JacksonWang852) September 24, 2022
While many praised Jackson's actions, others were upset about him being in a dangerous situation and asked that fans show him the same consideration.
ppl really needs to understand that jackson is a human too and they have to stop pushing him at the airport EVERYTIME. he must be so tired but he's way too nice yo yall. i swear next time he arrives at the airport imma be there to grab some people's hair.
— sara (@JSWDOLL) September 24, 2022
Jackson shows a lot of respect by saying fans should take care at the airport and so fans need to do the same for him and learn not to mob. At least show him that much consideration he has for you 😕
— sushi 🦇 (@nightjiaer) September 24, 2022
It's great to see all his supporters/fans there to welcome him, but they still shouldn't have mobbed him like that even if the airport did not set up enough barricades, at least give him space to breath and walk.
His safety is the most important. https://t.co/1cmRVOckP1
— Jackson Wang Trending (@JacksonWTrends) September 24, 2022
Jackson's airport arrivals and departures are always eventful but he continues to be curtious and caring towards fans. Hopefully, the next time he is at an airport he will have a much safer time!

manicstreetpreacher hits 60 posts for 2009!
Paul S Jenkins over at Notes from an Evil Burnee has posted the podcast links to an appearance by Professor Chris French, whose superb lecture on paranormal experiences for Merseyside Skeptics' Society I reported earlier this year, discussing whether angels exist on Radio 4's Beyond Belief. The presenter, Ernie Rea, is joined by French, Emma Heathcote-James spiritualist author of Seeing Angels and Greek Orthodox priest, Father Gregory Hallam.
The show's title is all too apt: it really does defy belief! I can barely accept what my own ears tell me; that Auntie is giving airtime to such spurious nonsense. If I'd have been there I would have been tempted to swing a punch at Emma Heathcote-James just to see whether her guardian angel would do anything to protect her! She clearly accepts that visions of guardian angels are the paranormal experiences flavour of the month following on from previous crazes such as ghosts and alien abductions, but like Fox Mulder from the X-Files, the woman just wants to believe…
Heathcote-James is so wrapped up in it that she has either deluded herself into believing anything she hears about angels or is preying on basket cases (like the woman they interviewed partway through) in order to sell books.
Philosopher Stephen Law has blogged on this show as well and describes Heathcote-James as "very irritating" and has reproduced a typical piece of theological obscurantism from Father Gregory Hallam. Hallam's retort is in response to Chris French's suggestion of objective evidence of angels if e.g. under controlled conditions they provided information to those who claim to communicate with them that could be checked and which could not have been acquired in any other way:
My problem with your answer Chris is you are subjecting these phenomenon to certain criteria and tests in relation to scientific evidence and you're actually talking about a confusion of categories of truth here. I understand that you operate in the realm of anomolistic psychology and that this is a kind of a difficult interface between science and human experience but I think that unless we are actually clear how to assess each piece of evidence according to appropriate criteria we risk just making no sense at all.
Thanks for clearing that one up for us, Greg…
