In 2011, the country of Nepal conducted a census just as many countries do throughout the world. This census however was very different, the section pertaining to gender now contain a third gender. Those who felt as if they were not classified as male or female, (transgender), could now identify themselves in this third category. This third gender is mainly transgender people, but some homosexual people are also included. I believe that this makes their census data more accurate because it caters to groups of people who would have otherwise completely disregarded the census.
Nepal may be the first country to nationally recognize a third gender category, but they will without a doubt not be the last. In the next decade I believe that more countries will follow suit. Especially now that there is something that they can observe and use as a reference.
Imagine if this were to take place here in the USA. It would change so many things. Statistics and studies that have been the foundations for theories across the social sciences would all be different. It would also promote a feeling of equality. In todays day and age people are different and the census needs to be updated……..

"Self-doubt is self-worth in another universe." A wise man once said. That wise man is "Devon," played by Jason Schwartzman in the movie Wine Country on Netflix.
This line made me smile, and not just because it came out of Jason's mouth (he's one of my favorite actors). It made me smile because, I struggle with self-doubt! Self-doubt is my kryptonite. It is a dream killer. It makes me question every decision I make, or worse, it withholds me from making decisions. It paralyses me. So to think that self-doubt might be self-worth in another universe gives me hope. Because, I don't think it's ever going away.
I need to learn how to conquer self-doubt and stop self-sabotaging once and for all! Could it happen? Is it possible?
I've given up on writing, which has always been really important to me, countless times. I've had this WordPress blog for five years now and I've deleted numerous posts because I didn't think they were good enough. Truth – I didn't think I was good enough. And now I regret it. I'm mad at myself for being such a harsh critic and not giving myself room-to-grow, or permission to be an imperfect foolish human.
I think the only way through self-doubt is to embrace the fool who says, I'm not sure about this or what I'm doing, but I'm going to do it anyway – leap! I've always felt like a fool, stumbling over my words like they're two left feet that lost their direction. After years of reading self-help books and following spiritual programs, I've learned time and time again, the way through self-doubt is foolishly believing in yourself no matter what. Simply, and bravely, showing up for yourself and trying, and trying again. Everyday I feel like I'm failing at something, but every day there are small wins too.
This morning I had a small win when I made my family banana pancakes. After years of making pancakes for them, I can now make them confidently from scratch without a recipe to follow for measurements. They don't always turn out great but this morning, those were the best banana pancakes I think I've ever made. Win!
While I stood there waiting for each pancake to puff up in the pan, I thought about blogging. What should I write about? My husband, who had been hovering around me all morning in need of attention, entered the kitchen for the third or fourth time in 20 minutes. I told him I wanted to write but didn't know what to write about. "What am I going to blog about making pancakes?" I said sarcastically.
"Sure." He said.
Well, okay then.
Until next time…

Thorens TD124 Mk II
Jerry's comments:
I have sold my original 124 and replaced it with the Mk II seen in the attached photos. (above) I have spent the last year restoring it and have replaced the bearing thrust plate, idler wheel, belt armboard, mushrooms and metal caps, and the motor suspension rubbers. In addition, I added a new shielded power cord and cleaned and re-lubed all moving parts, including disassembling, cleaning, and re-lubing the motor which made a tremendous difference in the 124's ability to reach and maintain correct speed (usually less than 5 minutes). I am considering buying the new higher tolerance bearing and new heavier gray cast platter being offered by the Brinkman Audio Distributor here in the USA. Finally, I have purchased a replica of the original painted black plinth to mount it in. Sonically, it matches anything I've ever had. Very open and transparent top end with deep, taut lows........

Chevy Bolt Horsepower make a raises the bar in regards to driving performance engine. Engineers developed the Bolt EV's propulsion system to provide over the estimated 200 kilometers and a beautiful driving experience. So, that is more akin to some compact sports sedan than a tiny pragmatic crossover. Like many EVs on the highway, the Bolt EV's drive system utilizes a single high-power electrical motor to propel Chevy Bolt Horsepower. Nonetheless, it's the sleek, strong and silent motor design, equipment setup and shift-by-wire system which divides it from the bunch.
The technology team made the Bolt EV's electrical engine having an offset equipment and rotating configuration tailored to match performance and efficiency goal. Most notably over the estimated 200 miles of scope. Also, the engine is capable of generating torque around 266 lb.-ft. Together with a 7.05:1 final drive ratio, it will help propel the Bolt EV in 0-60 mph in under seven seconds.
This change along with park-by-wire system sends digital signals to the Bolt EV's push unit to handle precise delivery and feel of torque and power. Its dependent on drive mode choice and accelerator input signal. A by-wire shifter needs less packing space than a conventional mechanical shifter. Leading to more interior space and enhanced interior design.
Battery behind the Chevy Bolt Horsepower
Chevrolet Volt has over 1.3 billion kilometers of EV experience. As a result, it helps the Bolt EV battery engineers and tactical partner LG Electronics to create an all-new mobile and battery package. Especially to provide over the estimated 200 miles of scope. Battery system preliminary specifications comprise 60 kWh Lithium-ion battery package. It has 288 lithium-ion cells, Five segments, 10 modules, 96 mobile bands and three cells each category.
This weight is 960 pounds. And the battery utilizes active air-conditioning. Just like the Chevrolet Volt, to maintain the battery functioning at its optimal temperatures. Which ends in strong battery life performance.
The battery system is conducive to a normal gear 7.2 kW Onboard charger. It uses for routine overnight charging out of a 240-V wall socket. A normal commute of 50 miles may be recharged in under two hours. Using the DC Fast Charging feature, the Bolt EV battery could be charged up to 90 kilometers of range in thirty minutes. Outside temperatures can affect charging occasions.
Regenerative braking is now more than Only a tool to Boost range. It has also transformed to a quality that may offer a better EV driving expertise. Finally, the Bolt EV Comes with a brand new regenerative braking system that has the power to supply 1 pedal driving.

The Braithwell Church and Country Fair will be taking place on Saturday, 6th June 2020
The first Fair took place in 1984 originally known as Braithwell Church Fair. The idea and concept was to generate funds to help towards the upkeep of the beautiful St James' Church, which is key to the community of Braithwell.
Over the years with the constant help from villagers and loyal friends and supporters from further afield the Fair has developed into what it is today. A wonderful blend of village fairs from yester year, combined with a modern outlook, but not overly commercialised.
The aim is something for everyone, family entertainment, crafts, cakes, classic cars, military vehicles, farm machinery, livestock (including the now much talked about sheep racing) are just a few of the many attractions which can be seen at what is now known as Braithwell Church and Country Fair.
Thank you for visiting our website, if you'd like to know more or would like to get in touch please have a look at the key opposite.
May we take this opportunity to thank everyone involved for their continued support.

LIVERMORE — Saturday marks the 41st anniversary of the Chowchilla kidnapping of 26 children and their school bus driver, and their harrowing escape from a storage van buried in a Livermore quarry.
The July 15, 1976 abduction, and images of the victims rescued mostly unharmed just west of Livermore, shocked the nation.
Bus driver Ed Ray, who died in 2012 at age 91, was hailed a hero after leading the group to safety 37 hours after they were abducted.
The three kidnappers, brothers Rick and James Schoenfeld of Portola Valley, and their friend Fred Woods, pleaded guilty to 27 counts of kidnapping and were sentenced to life without parole.
An appeals court ordered Richard Schoenfeld released in 2012 and Gov. Jerry Brown paroled James Schoenfeld in 2015.
Woods was denied parole in 2015 and can apply again next year.

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that straightens your teeth while allowing you to maintain an attractive aesthetic smile throughout the alignment process. Unlike traditional orthodontic braces, which use metal wires and brackets, Invisalign uses clear, removable plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into place. Dr. Clark Schneekluth, who is trained and certified to offer Invisalign, calibrates each set of aligners for your teeth and guides each step of the straightening process. We are proud to help both teenagers and adults achieve healthier, happier smiles with Invisalign.
There are many advantages to using Invisalign, which we love to share with all of our patients. Invisalign is removable, allowing you to maintain good dental hygiene as we enhance your smile. You are also able to continue enjoying the foods and drinks you love without worry. Invisalign is simple to use and non-invasive, all but eliminating the discomfort and soreness associated with traditional braces. Perhaps best of all, Invisalign is virtually invisible, allowing you to feel confident and maintain your beautiful smile. With Invisalign, no one can tell you are wearing a dental appliance.
If you are interested in transforming your smile with Invisalign, please contact us here at Schneekluth Orthodontics to schedule your consultation. Don't forget to check our SPECIAL OFFERS tab for current promotions.
We look forward to helping you achieve the beautiful smile you have always wanted! We are easily accessible to the communities of Garden Grove, Los Alamitos, Seal Beach and other surrounding cities. Contact us today!
The Invisalign® System involves having a series of clear aligners made to fit over the patient's teeth that gradually get adjusted to move the teeth into perfect alignment. A computer program generating a simulation determines the fit. Adult patients that have particular orthodontic bite issues can benefit from this system. Ask your Schneekluth Orthodontics orthodontist in Garden Grove if Invisalign would work for you.
Invisalign® Teen has now been introduced to help teenagers avoid wearing metal braces which can make them look unattractive on their Facebook profile, not to mention in their yearbook photo. This straightening system involves having clear aligners, which are virtually invisible, fit over your teeth so no one needs to know you are having your teeth straightened. Because they are removable you can eat whatever you want. You can also brush and floss your teeth as normal, which helps keep your gums and teeth healthy. They are more comfortable to wear since there are no wires or brackets to irritate the inside of your mouth.

Larvae of Ixodes ricinus transmit Borrelia afzelii and B. miyamotoi to vertebrate hosts

Lyme borreliosis is the most common tick-borne human disease and is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.). Borrelia miyamotoi, a relapsing fever spirochaete, is transmitted transovarially, whereas this has not been shown for B. burgdorferi (s.l). Therefore, B. burgdorferi (s.l) is considered to cycle from nymphs to larvae through vertebrates. Larvae of Ixodes ricinus are occasionally B. burgdorferi (s.l) infected, but their vector competence has never been studied.
We challenged 20 laboratory mice with field-collected larvae of I. ricinus. A subset of these larvae was analysed for infections with B. burgdorferi (s.l) and B. miyamotoi. After three to four challenges, mice were sacrificed and skin and spleen samples were analysed for infection by PCR and culture.
Field-collected larvae were naturally infected with B. burgdorferi (s.l) (0.62 %) and B. miyamotoi (2.0 %). Two mice acquired a B. afzelii infection and four mice acquired a B. miyamotoi infection during the larval challenges.
We showed that larvae of I. ricinus transmit B. afzelii and B. miyamotoi to rodents and calculated that rodents have a considerable chance of acquiring infections from larvae compared to nymphs. As a result, B. afzelii can cycle between larvae through rodents. Our findings further imply that larval bites on humans, which easily go unnoticed, can cause Lyme borreliosis and Borrelia miyamotoi disease.

There is an abundance of note-taking apps available online, all which offer their own twist on saving your content. Some are feature-rich, while others take a more minimal, "just the basics" approach. If you're expecting Google Keep to be filled with features from baking a cake to driving your car, you couldn't be more wrong. But what it does do is excel at being an exceptionally useful notepad that allows you to quickly add notes. Its simplistic approach has earned itself a spot on our Best Of Chrome Extensions page The Best Chrome Extensions A list of only the best extensions for Google Chrome, including suggestions from our readers. Read More .
Using Google Keep
The first thing you'll notice in Google Keep is that there is hardly a learning curve, meaning you can begin adding notes immediately – just click in the white box that says "Add note".
Making a list is simple too, and it keeps your crossed-out items by moving them to the bottom of the list. You can also rearrange the items in any order by simply dragging them.
The reminder feature is super useful and includes both date/time and location. On your computer, you'll get a pop-up notification in the corner.
Not everything you want to add to a note is text though. Whether it's an image of beautiful scenery you want to remember the location of, or a photo of a business card, you can save it in Google Keep. Either click the "Image Upload" button, or drag and drop it straight from the folder into the "Add Note" text field.
You probably figured that Google Keep can search text notes – that's to be expected – but what's impressive that you can also search text within images Google Keep Brings Text Recognition To Images In The Latest Version Google Keep is now appears stylized with a new orange action bar. The note-taking app now also gives you a feature to search printed text in images. Read More , known as optical character recognition (OCR).
Other useful features include color-coding individual notes, arranging them in any way you'd like, and having multiple views.
The notes resize to the width of the window, but you can also choose to have them displayed in grid or list view.
Lastly, if you hide a note, you have two options: archive and delete. If you do delete a note, you can restore it if it hasn't been in the trash longer than 7 days.
Archived and deleted notes, as well as notes with reminders, can all be accessed from the sidebar menu.
Pros & Cons Of Google Keep
The pros and cons of an app like Google Keep are largely dependent on what you expect out of a note-taking app. To some, Google Keep may be missing some significant key features, while to others it's the perfect app. Keep that in mind as we go through the list.
Pros of Google Keep
- Syncs to Google Drive
- No learning curve
- Completely free with no advertisements
- Android app (see our Google Keep Android review Simple Notes On The Go: Google Keep For Android Reviewed There are some amazing note-taking apps out there, but here's one that merits a closer look: Google Keep, a note-keeper which has both a great-looking Android app and a slick webapp. Read More )
- Impressively fast and minimal
Cons of Google Keep
- No iOS support (though you can still use it in Google Chrome on your Mac)
- No voice notes for Chrome version
- Lacking tagging and categories for searching and grouping notes
- Collaboration with other Google services could improve (e.g. Google Tasks)
- Notes aren't transferrable into other services (e.g. Box, Dropbox)
What do these pros and cons mean? First off, they are only pros and cons because of what we expect, and what we expect is due to what we see in comparison to other alternative apps. The question is, are we comparing Google Keep to the right apps?
Alternatives to Google Keep for Chrome
When Google Keep first hit the news How to Use Google Keep for Simple Project Management Are you looking for a basic, intuitive, and cross-platform project management tool? We show you how to use Google Keep for simple projects. Read More , tech enthusiasts and productivity fanatics jumped into it expecting the next big Evernote competitor Google Keep Is a Great Evernote Alternative and Here's Why For note-taking and list-keeping, Google Keep beats Evernote hands down. We show you seven features that make it a great choice. Read More (or OneNote for that matter), only to find that Google Keep was nothing in comparison to those two note-taking workhorses. And I was no different, until I began studying Google Keep further and reading articles pointing out its highlights. It's simply not fair to compare an app which is intended for a simplistic purpose to another app with a far greater feature set designed for entirely different reasons. Evernote, which I personally use as my primary note-taker and am an advocate for using it as your go-to place for remembering everything Why You Should Be Using Evernote As Your Go-To Place For Remembering Everything Remember Everything. That's the Evernote motto and that's what it allows you to do best. If you aren't familiar yet with Evernote, you're in for a real treat! If you have heard of it, but... Read More , is meant to do all the heavy lifting. Google Keep, on the other hand, is a light, simple notepad that conveniently syncs to Google Drive How To Use Google Drive To Capture Your Great Ideas & Never Lose Them Move over Evernote -- here's how you can use Google Drive to keep and grow your ideas. With the Google tools at your fingertips, put them all to good use for nurturing your ideas. Read More .
With that said, there are some apps Google Keep can be compared with, such as Fetchnotes or Simplenote (see our Simplenote review Simplify Note-Taking & Sync Notes Everywhere With Simplenote Apps Simplenote and its ecosystem of apps for every platform toss all the superfluous features found in competing note-taking programs and focus on the ones that matter. All Simplenote apps sync effortlessly, with minimal interfaces that... Read More ).
The bottom line is Google Keep is one awesome notepad packed with features.

2013 – Top Loader Washing Machines Ratings
Posted by Canstar Blue April 16th 2013
You are viewing the archived 2013 award for top load washing machines. Go to the current top loader ratings.
Young Australians fail to maintain their washing machines
Younger owners of washing machines are more likely to gamble with their appliance and their clothes, with nearly three in five Gen Y respondents to our recent washing machine survey stating they've never cleaned their washing machine. Baby Boomers were more likely to be diligent – four in five saying they had cleaned their top or front loader washing machines since purchase.
Ultimately, this can save you money; cleaning your washing machine every few months (by doing an empty wash on the hottest setting) can extend its life and improve its performance.
This is important, because many failed to get the most from their machine in other ways. For example, a quarter of respondents didn't bother waiting until they had a full load before doing their laundry. Additionally, more than a third admitted to ignoring care labels and washing all their clothing on the same setting.
LG goes straight to the top for washing machine customer satisfaction
Our recent survey also measured how satisfied customers were with their top loader washing machine. LG was awarded our 2013 award for Most Satisfied Customers in this category, edging out Samsung, Simpson, Fisher & Paykel, and Whirlpool.
Taking a closer look at the top loader results:
- LG achieved five stars for overall customer satisfaction, performance, reliability, ease of use, quietness, warranty and service, and water efficiency.
- Samsung received five stars for performance, reliability, ease of use, warranty and service, and water efficiency.
- Simpson achieved five stars for value for money, performance and reliability.
- Fisher & Paykel excelled in the area of washing machine performance – achieving five stars.
We also looked at customer satisfaction results for front loader washing machines.
Overall customer satisfaction
LG achieved a top score for overall customer satisfaction in this category. Samsung, Fisher & Paykel and Simpson followed with four stars each, and Whirlpool received three.
Value for money
Simpson secured the top spot for top loader washing machine value for money, achieving five stars. LG, Samsung and Fisher & Paykel were each awarded four star ratings, and Whirlpool received three.
LG, Samsung, Simpson and Fisher & Paykel took out five star ratings for top loader washing machine performance; with Whirlpool awarded four stars.
It's not uncommon to do five or more loads of washing per week, and your washing machine needs to be able to keep up with this demand. Customers of LG, Samsung and Simpson were most satisfied with their machine's reliability. Fisher & Paykel came next with four stars, and Whirlpool finished with three.
Ease of use
How easy is your top loader to operate? You want it to be as simple as possible if you're a frequent washer, and it was Samsung and LG customers who were most satisfied with the ease of use of their machine. Both Simpson and Fisher & Paykel received four star ratings, and Whirlpool received three.
LG top loader washing machines topped the list for the quietness of their operation, receiving five stars for quietness. Samsung, Simpson and Fisher & Paykel all followed with four, and Whirlpool achieved three.
Warranty and service
Customers of both LG and Samsung were most satisfied with the warranty and service from their washing machine's manufacturer – these brand receiving five star ratings, followed by Simpson and Fisher & Paykel with four, and Whirlpool with three.
Water efficiency
Nearly a third of respondents to our washing machine survey felt strongly enough about 'being green' to recycle the grey water from their washing machine. For anyone of the same mindset, try an LG or Samsung top loader model – the two brands received five stars for water efficiency in this category. Simpson and Fisher & Paykel both achieved four star ratings; and Whirlpool closed these results with three.
Frequently Asked Questions
Canstar Blue commissions Colmar Brunton to regularly survey 2,500 Australian consumers across a range of categories to measure and track customer satisfaction. The rating outcomes reported are the results from customers within the survey group who have purchased and used a top loader washing machine in the last three years – in this case, 554 people.
Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included. Results are comparative and it should be noted that brands that received three stars have still achieved a satisfaction measure of at least six out of 10.

Development of a new HIV-prevention drug implant will start soon
Currently PrEP drugs are available only in the form of a pill that, if taken daily, can dramatically reduce a chance of being infected with HIV. But this can soon change. Massachusetts-based pharmaceutical company Intarcia Therapeutics, is moving forward with plans to market a subcutaneous device that would deliver a daily dose of the anti-retroviral medicine.The Gates Foundation has invested USD 140 million in the development of this device which might revolutionize HIV prevention around the world.
This device takes the form of a pump that was initially designed for type two diabetes patients. It works by continuously delivering medication throughout the body. The pump is reportedly capable of administering drugs throughout the body for as long as 12 months. It could also be easily filled by a clinician annually or bi-annually and researchers believe that the pump could work similarly, for HIV prevention.

"So goes discovery: unless you know your own ignorance, you won't recognize when something truly novel is right before your eyes." – Nick Pyenson
I don't know anyone with fond memories of their adolescence. For most of us, it was a period of uncomfortable change. Our bodies transforming into young adults while struggling with new social structures and relationships. But we didn't have a choice – we could only grow through change.

Having had a direct involvement with America's first post-rock dedicated festival, dunk!usa, I know first hand how hard it is to mount a successful event featuring largely fringe artists. When you live in my bubble and you book Russian Circles and Pelican to headline a two-day event with 20 more high-quality artists in a town neither of them has ever played before, you can become lulled into the mindset that all you have to do is hang out and watch the tickets sell themselves. When you discover how wrong you are, that location is massively important, that timing is a key factor, that even though a band like Russian Circles seems huge to a nerd like you, the reality is that probably one out of every forty people has even heard of them, it can be kind of a bummer. dunk!usa was an amazing event that not a ton of people had the privilege of enjoying. So when Nason Frizzell of the band PILLARS approached me with the idea of doing Post. Festival – essentially a dunk!usa without the post-rock name value, the first two things I felt were (a) excitement, because obviously I was 100% ready to get back at trying to grow this scene and (b) cynicism, because I knew how my expectations of fan dedication had been flattened somewhat by my previous experiences. As it turns out, I'm feeling a bit better about the state of "post" music in America as of this moment.
In case you missed it, we announced a couple of months ago that Heavy Blog will be sponsoring Post. Festival, the US's only (and thus also premier) major post-rock/metal/whatever festival on October 19th and 20th at Indiana City Brewery Co. in Indianapolis, IN. The festival is shaping up to be an incredible event, featuring the likes of The Appleseed Cast, Outrun the Sunlight, Heron, This Patch of Sky, and far more. I wanted to talk to the festival organizers about what fans can expect from the weekend, about what makes holding a post-rock festival in the US a more daunting challenge than in Europe, and about why they believe the genre of post-rock is as strong as it's ever been and only getting stronger.

Made these for my Grandson's first birthday, because 1 year olds don't make enough noise right!. Slit drum is made of Sapele, elm, and walnut. The xylophone is made completely out of wormy red oak. Had a red oak 2×12 about 3' long, completely riddled with worm / bug holes. My friend said to just go ahead and burn it because I would never do anything with it. Think I turned it into something that will be enjoyed for a while. My Grandson sure liked it. Thanks for looking. Jeff

When Gemma Green fell pregnant with her fourth baby she thought it would be plain sailing. After all, she had already done it three times.
But unlike her first three babies, the fourth wasn't much of a wriggler.
"It just wasn't feeling right," Gemma recalls.
During her third trimester, Gemma was able to use a technique known as 'kick counting' to monitor the baby's movements.
The counting confirmed Gemma's suspicion that her baby wasn't moving much. Concerned, she contacted her obstetrician. "I said to the doctor 'in the morning I wake up and hope the baby is still alive'," she remembers.
The doctors were fast to act, and began daily assessments with ultrasounds and fetal monitoring to ensure that the baby was ok. "Everything looked great but I sensed something wasn't normal with the movement, it lost its predictability and it was concerning," Gemma says.
"The doctors said low fetal movement can be the only sign of stillbirth."
At 39 weeks Gemma was booked in for an induction, and thankfully, her baby was born safely. There is no way of knowing what would have happened if Gemma hadn't trusted her instincts.
Tragically, more than 2500 babies are born still in Australia every year. In at least one third of stillbirth cases there's nothing wrong; the deaths of 800 babies a year remain unexplained. Kick counting is one measure that pregnant women can take to reduce the risk of stillbirth.
So what exactly is kick counting? Well, as the name suggests, it's as simple as counting the baby's kicks in order to monitor movement.
Claire Foord, founder of Still Aware, says that a baby's only direct link to the outside world is through its mother. "Taking time each day to monitor a baby's movement is as important as mother's taking prenatal vitamins and staying healthy," she says.
"By setting aside time daily to feel your baby's kicks, rolls or pokes, you can bond with your bump and monitor your baby's health as well."
Still Aware suggests that women begin kick counting from 28 weeks. "Pick a time when your baby is active. Make sure that your baby is awake – having a cold class of water is a good wake up call," Foord explains.
Then sit or lie comfortably and begin counting. Each of your baby's movements count as one kick.
"We suggest counting until you reach 10 kicks, but you can choose a number that suits you and your baby and stick with this," says Foord.
It's important to note that all babies are different, and some move more than others. Foord suggests getting to know what's normal for you and your baby.
You can record your daily results in a kick chart, your phone or diary. There are also apps, such as Count the Kicks, you can use to keep track.
Foord notes that the key thing about kick counting is consistency. "If anything seems different or if you have a 'bad feeling', trust your feelings and call for a check up," she says. "Do not wait."

Kleine Brogel Air Base
This article may primarily relate to a different subject, or place undue weight on a particular aspect rather than the subject as a whole. (February 2017)
Kleine Brogel Air Base (ICAO: EBBL) is a Belgian Air Component military airfield located 0.8 nautical miles (1.5 km; 0.92 mi) east[1] of Kleine-Brogel, in the municipality Peer, Belgium. It is home to the Belgian 10th Tactical Wing, operating F-16 Fighting Falcons, which are capable, among other capabilities, of delivering B61 nuclear bombs.

The base has been subject to much political controversy, because of American nuclear weapons allegedly being stored in the facility by the United States Air Force (USAF), but never recognized officially by the Belgian government.[2] Under the NATO nuclear sharing arrangement, these nuclear bombs would require an actual dual key system, which would imply the simultaneous authorizations of Belgium and the United States, before any action is taken. Should that be the case, Kleine Brogel Air Base would be the only location in Belgium with nuclear weapons.[3][4] According to the press, Eastern European Member States of NATO resisted the withdrawal of the shared nuclear bombs in Europe, fearing that it would show a weakening of the American commitment to defend the European Union against Russian aggression.[5]
None of the five NATO member states, whose air forces allegedly might share in its premises nuclear bombs with the USAF (these are Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey),[5] have ever provided an official confirmation of its existence. However, former Italian President Francesco Cossiga declared that the Aeronautica Militare hosted or shared American nuclear bombs, just as other NATO member states do. In an interview he talked about French weapons.[6][7] In the same way, on 10 June 2013, former Dutch prime minister Ruud Lubbers confirmed the existence of 22 shared nuclear bombs at Volkel Air Base.[8]
Kleine Brogel Air Base is also the home of the United States Air Force's 701st Munitions Support Squadron which allegedly is the unit in charge of looking after the shared nuclear bombs.[9][10]

Toyota and Nissan surpassed the industry's 6.8 percent increase in month-over-month sales in July, which CNW Research attributed to heavy promotions of lease deals and used-car trade-in programs by both automakers.
Toyota's month-over-month sales increased by 20.4 percent, while Nissan's jumped by 27.5 percent. Both manufacturers' car and truck segments outpaced last month's industry marks by significant amounts. The total industry car sales increased 5.5 percent in July, while total industry truck sales jumped by 8.2 percent.
CNW's Art Spinella wrote that only the Kia car segment, which achieved a 20 percent sales increase, performed well based on "solid marketing and clever advertising."
Among the Detroit Three, the Buick car and Cadillac truck segments reported sales increases of 32 percent and 42.5 percent, respectively.
The only Ford nameplate to report a month-to-month sales increase was the Lincoln truck segment.
The European brands had mixed sales results with increases from BMW car, BMW MINI, Saab car, Porsche car and truck, and Volkswagen car and truck. The increases were more of a result of lower June sales numbers than an actual jump in demand, wrote CNW's Spinella.
The overall sales results illustrate that the market is responsive to manufacturer incentives. "While a majority of automakers have pulled back in general, consumers are focused on those who remain in the incentive game," Spinella added.
He added that Toyota's sales figures indicate a strong response to its incentives, but said it won't help the company's bottom line in the future.
"After months of dark clouds because of recalls and government accusations, the upturn for the top Asian brand is the first step in 'clearing its name,'" Spinella continued. "We expect the incentive levels for Toyota to return to earth as soon as memories fade."

Louis Llovio has a long piece on richmond.com today on plans by J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College to move their culinary arts program into part of the complex coming with the development of the new grocery store at 25th and Nine Mile:
J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College is expanding its culinary arts program in a move that, if successful, will create a much-needed pipeline of trained kitchen workers for Richmond's booming restaurant scene.
Reynolds' foundation OK'd an agreement Friday that allows the college to move forward on plans to open a 20,000-square-foot facility in the development at the northern corner of Nine Mile Road and North 25th Street. The agreement is with Steven Markel, vice chairman of Henrico County-based specialty insurer Markel Corp., who is financing the project. Details of the deal were not immediately available.

Anti Choking Devices – Toddler – Don't let your toddler become a statistic. Choking is a leading cause of accidental death in young children.
Anti Choking Devices – Toddler
Anti Choking Devices – Toddler Sized – A Toddler has a windpipe the diameter of a straw – And toddlers choke to death too often – Be Prepared.
Anti Choking Device for Toddlers – Recently a toddler choked to death in a crowded supermarket, and another one in a restaurant on a mini marshmallow.
Don't let your toddler become a statistic. Choking is a leading cause of accidental death in young children.
Be Prepared.
According to the CDC, for ages 4-9 choking is the 5th leading cause of unintentional death. For ages 1-4 choking to death jumps to fourth place.
But there is a low cost solution.
Anti Choking Devices – Toddler – The Dechoker for Toddlers
Childhood visits to the ER approach 100,000 annual visits. Every 2 hours, someone dies of choking. Now we can't eliminate grapes, hot dogs, peanuts, jelly beans, hard candy, coins, sausages, popcorn, marshmallows, carrots, peas, celery, cherries… and so much more.
The Dechoker provides a fast and easy rescue route to solve a choking emergency. It acts by suction that easily evacuates the obstruction of the airway. It is a very simple device to use that all must have in case of a choking emergency. Dechoker has been carefully designed to be used by non-specialized personnel and can be administered by any individual. Even a child can use it on his mother. You can even use the Dechoker on yourself in case of choking while alone.
When someone's windpipe is blocked, you have very little time to act.
And the problem with toddlers is the diameter of their windpipe is the width of a straw. So it doesn't take much to block a toddler's ability to breathe.
Try forcing a grape cut in half through a straw and you begin to get the idea.
And time is of the essence when trying to help someone choking, and it's very distressing to all involved.
- 0-4 minutes: Brain Damage Unlikely
- 4-6 minutes: Brain Damage Possible
- 6-10 minutes: Brain Damage Likely
- 10+ minutes: Probable Brain Death
And The Average 911 Emergency Response Time?
7-12 minutes
The Dechoker for Toddlers unit is designed for toddlers 12 months to 3 years of age. It has a nose piece specifically modeled for small faces as well as a shortened tube for the perfect sizing.
Be prepared for any choking emergency by keeping a Dechoker unit close at hand. It also fits in a regular sized diaper bag, stroller, or backpack so it is easily portable.

Brooks Launch Running Shoe:
This shoe is recommended for someone who is running on average 25miles a week; perfect for someone training for a 10k. It is a lower mileage shoe, so it's not recommended for someone who is doing XC. Also we'd say great for someone who is looking to transition into a barefoot shoe.
Have you tried the Brooks Launch? What do you think? Yay or Nay?
Black Diamond: Spot Headlamp
Black Diamond: Spot Headlamp
Hi all, Kaylee here and I wanted to make a quick review about the Black Diamond Spot that I have been using for the last 8 months. This little headlamp packs a pretty mean punch in terms of its light output and its features. This is a really great headlamp for someone who is an morning/evening runner, XC, or snowshoeing. It's also a nice piece for just kicking around the camp.
The reason I love this lamp so much is because of its features. It has two modes: direct spot and the two peripheral lamps or the "eco mode". Both of which are pretty strong; at its maximum light output, a whopping 90 lumens!
When I first picked it up, I was a bit skeptical of its durability in comparison to a Petzl headlamp which looks like a solid rock. However, over the last months, I've been pretty rough on it (accidentally tossing it down off a small cliff and then stepping on it) and amazingly its still in one piece. The feature I love the most is the ability to dim your light. When the lamp is illuminated, holding down the power button will decrease the light output and you can customize how much you want to use. This function is available on both the main spot light as well as the peripherals. For reading maps and other night vision features, you can activate the red light from the off mode (a great feature for military!). Rather than turning on the headlamp and filtering through the modes you can just press and hold the power button from the off mode to activate the red light.
The only con I have for the light would be that when dimming your light, you can't brighten the light unless you turn it off completely and start back at its full capacity (which is a pretty minor complaint considering once you learn to use the dimmer function its pretty quick).
The weight is comparable to that of a Petzl Tikka 2XP and the head band fits comfortably with the ability to tip the angle of the light.
Overall a pretty solid headlamp for the price @ $39.95
Takes 3 AAA batteries that are included. I also swamp my included alkaline batteries for lithium ones because they last longer and are more efficient when performing in colder temperatures.
If you've tried this lamp, does it get the thumbs up, or the huck?

I have been doing a lot of thinking, and I am ok. Yea, I get pissed and hurt and all that crap, but it's human nature.. You have choices.. Accept shit, Deal with shit, or drop shit and just MOVE ON already. So, I have had time to think about this crap, and I am at the point now where I really DON'T care. 😀 I am GOOD. Things are still crappy financially, and it's difficult to be a single mom, but I am OK. Would I be happier if I had a lot of money? Sure, who wouldn't? Am I greedy about it? Nope.. Would I change things that I screwed up? Of course.. but not a lot of them. You are the person you are because of experiences. You learn from them (well, you are supposed to.. ). You grow. Regret isn't a good thing. Learn from mistakes, even OTHER peoples mistakes. I am really trying to. I have said it before, I want to be a good person. I don't want to judge others. I want people to see me, and think positively about me. I want my kid to think that I am the best person in the world. Ok, that might be a stretch, but so far so good.. she does think that I rock. Maybe I should start trying to believe that too.
To the world you may be just one person,
who's name never finds its fame,
The world may never discover your worth
for some it's just a game.
To the world you may only be a number,
trying to feed you a lie,
The world may never care what makes
you cry.
At times the world may lay on your
shoulder, when life gets you down,
You want to smile and keep on
giving your all, but you frown.
To the world you may be one person
who will never rise to fame,
But to me you mean the world and
your smile still drives me insane.

Depending on the yacht, you can distinguish 2 different situations:
1) Control lines that runs through blocks, with a gear ratio (e.g. 1:4). Here good grip, some flexibility are important (easy to manually handle).
2) Lines in systems, often taking the total load (so without gear). These lines should have high strength low elongation (e.g. Dyneema®) to ensure good a sail trim: sail stays flat with increasing winds.

The complete guide to creating invoices
- How to create invoices
- Do I need a payment contract?
- Should I require a deposit?
- How to accept invoice payments
- Tracking invoices
- Sending friendly reminders
- What if clients don't pay?
How to create invoicesProfessional invoices build a cohesive look for your business and brand, as well as highlight the value of the work you're providing. And QuickBooks streamlines the process with automatic prompts to help you fill in the required information. Here are the essential elements you should include in each invoice:1. Company informationList your contact information and your customers' details—legal name, business address, phone and fax number (if applicable)—near the top or bottom of the invoice.2. HeaderInclude the title, "Invoice" at the top of your document so customers can immediately identify the communication. 3. Date, invoice number, and unique identifierInclude the invoice issuing date, as well as an invoice number or other unique identifier. This can be a simple file number, unique billing code, or date-based purchase order number.4. Customer purchase order (PO) numbers or billing codesAsk your customer about any unique details to include, such as an internal PO number or billing code. For many larger companies, these identifiers are necessary to keep track of payments.5. Itemized list of goods and servicesYour customer—and potentially, an auditor—should understand what goods and services you've provided with just a brief scan of the invoice. Include names, dates, rates, the quantity of the goods and services provided, as well as any price modifications, item descriptions, and your work processes.6. Payment termsInclude a due date and be aware that standard payment terms vary by industry, business, and client relations. Clarify that penalties—late fees or a percentage of the total bill—will be imposed if these terms are not met.7. Itemized feesList taxes, handling fees, or other charges, on separate lines. This is important for varying budgets and balancing your internal bookkeeping.8. Total amount dueMake sure your total amount due is clear and easy to find. 9. Instructions for payingProvide a clear set of payment steps specifying how you accept payments: online, wire transfer, check, or credit card. The more options you provide, the faster you'll get paid.
Do I need a payment contract?A payment contract can clarify and solidify a customers expectations. A QuickBooks Payment Contract explains:
- How you charge
- The range of services you will provide
- Your payment terms
- If you charge deposits
Should I require a deposit?A deposit of between 30-50% can protect you if client troubles arise. Outline the parameters in your contract, make sure your clients are aware of your policy, and issue an invoice for the deposit amount. When the job is completed, issue a second invoice deducting the deposit amount from the total owed.
How to accept invoice paymentsCashCash transactions have no fees, but they cannot be tracked. It is also difficult to securely transfer large sums of money, so cash transactions are rare.CheckUse a standard checking account as there usually are no transaction fees. However, checks require that you manually update your books and your invoice tracking system. Automated Clearing House (ACH)An ACH transaction transfers funds from your customer's bank account to yours electronically. ACH transfers are fast and secure. Your customers will need to supply their transit and account numbers.Credit and debit cardsQuickBooks users can accept both credit and debit cards. Transaction fees vary slightly based on the payment platform, but typically range from between 2.4–3.4%.Do you accept a lot of payments in person? With products like Square and the QuickBooks mobile card reader, you can take credit and debit card payments on the spot. And if you deal in online transactions, PayPal is a great option (and typically has fees of 2.9%). Plus, all integrate seamlessly with QuickBooks software.BitCoinLess common than traditional payments, crypto currency transfers are simple for QuickBooks customers—just turn on your PayByCoin feature.
Tracking invoicesIf you're creating your invoices in Word or Excel requires meticulous organization, can leave you open to information loss, and error. QuickBooks' features take the guesswork out of invoice tracking:
- Automatically generated invoice numbers
- Sorting invoices by client name
- Providing a clear balance sheet of sent invoices
- Identifying overdue invoices

The Union Jack
Why is it that if Americans rally around their flag and country it is considered a natural thing to do and that they are being patriotic.
Why is it that when Frenchmen talk, nearly every fifth word seems to be France, but that is considered alright and that they are considered patriotic.
Why is it that whenever anyone in Britain rallies around the flag or dares to say "The United Kingdom is terrific!" they get accused of Xenophobia and of doing something that should only be done by adults in their own home.
The look of horror on our accusers face couldn't be worse than if they had caught us having sex with a parrot!
Psion Netbook vs Sony PCG-141C
I purchased both a Psion Netbook (£899) and a Sony PCG-141C (£1449) and ran with both of them for two years before deciding to put pen to paper or, in the modern idiom, fingers to keyboard.
They both have a place in the hierachy of things and any comparison could be subjective. I know which I prefer so I will try to keep my preferences until the end of the 'conclusions' section.
The major advantage of the Psion is its touch-screen operation which makes it exceedingly fast to find your way around. The major advantage of the Sony is that it is fully Windows compatible and will run practically all the programs you can run on your desktop – subject, of course, to memory.
Both machines have a PCMCIA slot for a network card or modem and will both access the Internet – both e-mail and web.
Trying to get efficient action out of Sony is no different to trying to get efficient action out of Psion!
The size/weight ratio of each machine is pretty similar.
Batterywise the Psion has an advantage in that it will last approximately seven hours between charges and the Sony only two hours, if you are lucky.
To run from cold, and then to load and run, at the same time, a diary, word processor and database on the Sony took just under 300 seconds seconds whereas to do the same with the Psion took less than 3 seconds.
The Sony has a hybernation mode but the Psion doesn't need it. I will explain. After turning the Sony to hybernation mode, and just turning the Psion off, I waited a minute or so and turned both back on. After pressing the "unhybernate" key on the Sony, it took 115 seconds to warm up. After turning the Psion on, it took 1/10th of a second (or less) to come on line. Both had, of course, the diary, word processing program and database up and running.
Other features of each.
This is a fully fledged computer although it has rather a squashed screen. I found it particularly useful building up my new website when out and about as I never seemed to have time to do it at home.
Floppy drives and CDROM drives are optional extra's and would be required if one wasn't going to network this with your desktop. The price above didn't include these as they were not needed. However I did need to buy a Network card so I could network it with my desktop.
This uses the EPOC operating system and, although it is not Windows compatible, it does comes with Windows software which, when connected to your desktop, will automatically transfer data in the Windows data style that you require.
One can load a number of data files with each program and a single tap on the program icon will move between data files. This is extremely useful if working on several reports or spreadsheets at any one time.
Because it is so quick to start, you can set the Psion to auto-turn off if on battery to any time from one minute. Three minutes is an ideal time I find. One can buy a docking station for the Psion which makes it easier to attach to a desktop.
If you really need a Windows portable, or want something you can take to a conference to run Powerpoint files into a projector, then the Sony is a must. But if you travel a lot and need to keep up to date with your reports or want instant access to your diary or contact database – and I mean instant access – then the Psion should be a serious consideration.
As for my personal preferences – I have sold my Sony PCG-141C and still use my Psion Netbook.
Now, if some kind reader, with lots of money, would like to buy me a new Psion Windows CE Netbook, I'd be a very happy bunny.
Journalism and Truth
I came across this in a very old magazine and, although a journalist myself, I recognise an element of truth here – so the old saying of "whatever happens across the Pond, happens here eventually" has an element of truth in it. This was written in the fifties but time has not changed the facts!
John Swinton, the former chief of staff of the "New York Times," called by his peers, "the dean of his profession", was asked in 1953 to give a toast before the New York Press Club.
He responded with the following statement:
"There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print."
"I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone."
"The business of the Journalist is to destroy truth; To lie outright; To pervert; To vilify; To fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals for rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men."
"We are intellectual prostitutes."
Other journalists who may disagree with me may comment below, but do bear in mind that he was probably only referring to newspaper journalists. At least I like to think so!
And the Lord saw, and was saddened
One day in heaven, the Lord decided he would visit the earth and take a stroll.
Walking down the road, the Lord encountered a man who was crying. The Lord asked the man, "Why are you crying, my son?" The man said that he was blind and had never seen a sunset. The Lord touched the man and he could see and he was happy.
As the Lord walked further, he met another man crying and asked, "Why are you crying, my son?" The man was born a cripple and was never able to walk. The Lord touched him and he could walk and he was happy.
Farther down the road, the Lord met another man who was crying and asked, "Why are you crying, my son?" The man said, "Lord, I work for the EU" …
…and the Lord sat down and cried with him.

For three weeks this summer, North Shore residents will open their hearts and homes to Israeli, Palestinian and American teens who are coming together in the Chicago area for a peace-building program. Hands of Peace is designed to help break down the walls of conflict in the Middle East and throughout the world, encouraging high school students of widely varied backgrounds to find their voices as leaders, overcome stereotypes and learn the leadership and critical thinking skills that are necessary for working toward peace.
This summer's 49 participants come from areas that are divided by conflict, culture, geography and history, yet they commit to forging a connection and finding common ground. As these students come into unfamiliar ground, North Shore residents provide comfort by opening the doors of their homes.
Some hosts, such as Marily Schonthal of Glencoe, have been involved in some manner for many years. Schonthal began volunteering four years ago in recruiting and is now in her second year as a host.
"They are a very unique, self-selecting group of young people," said Schonthal, referring to the 15-year-old Palestinian girl staying in Schonthal's home and her fellow participants.
Schonthal explained that the participants take part in private group discussion each morning, followed by fun and challenging activities such as high ropes courses, visits to Chicago attractions, and film, speech and culture workshops. It is the host families' job to provide support and comfort during this process.
David Bliss of Wilmette also sees the significance of the program. "It's taking a small part in a large, very complex issue, but everything adds up," he said. "The program brings these kids over and matches them up in the hopes of breaking down barriers. Someday these kids could be in a position of authority, leading to better outcomes."
Bliss found personal inspiration in the program. After hosting both an Israeli and a Palestinian boy last summer, Bliss partnered with a local library to donate several hundred books to a new library in Israel.
Lori Kenward of Deerfield is also involved in the program outside of hosting alone. While her family is in their third year of hosting, her daughters, Sarah (18) and Emily (19), have both volunteered as XLs, students who work as a team to provide peer support, inspiration, and kinship to new participants, while organizing daily activities and facilitating discussion groups.
"For my kids, this has been a life changing experience, and for us as well," Kenward explained. "The power of dialogue is an amazing thing… [Hands of Peace] demonstrates the power of people talking to each other. Our children hadn't heard everything about the conflict, but people's personal stories are so powerful."
Gretchen Grad, Hands of Peace founder, says she sees great transformations take place in the young participants as they develop deep connections with each other. "This gives us hope for a better future," she said. "Young people are the key to change and peace in the Middle East."
Schonthal sums the program up as a matter of understanding. "If we open our hearts and minds to one humanity, we learn to listen," she said. "The participants learn to listen in a way they never have. By the end, they can hear."

Video transcript
Peter: So how can a neuro-physiotherapist help people with MS?
Nicola Hatton, Neurological Physiotherapist: I think the main thing is that we have a deeper understanding of the central nervous system and how the pathology of MS impacts on that person's system. We've got an understanding of how the body and how the brain kind of recovers after perhaps a relapse or how it over time changes to accommodate the problems that you have. So the physiotherapy is kind of directed along a systems based approach in terms of what problems do you have, is it a problem with sensation, muscle function, power, balance, co-ordination, vision, lots of different things that we will look at as separate issues and then put all together to try and establish where we need to start with the treatment.
And again, we want to help you manage your own condition, so we're not always doing lots of hands-on treatment, a lot of it is based on advice and sending you away with information, exercises to do, just trying to encourage you in general to be as active as you can be, based on the assessment initially. So yeah, it's having that sort of assessment and being seen over a period of time so that we know what we can change and what we can't change, and that's very valid information to give to a patient so that you know where to focus your energy and just having somebody say well, if you go away and do this, we think we might be able to create an improvement, or, unfortunately, the damage has happened here, that may not change, we've got to find ways of helping you manage that. So it's like a dual sort of approach really.
Peter: Is what you would do, is the treatment different for different types of MS? You know, you've got recurring remitting – or whatever you call it, gets called different things – and progressive and secondary progressive as well.
Nicola Hatton: Yeah, I would say for every patient you pretty much do something slightly different anyway regardless of whether it's remitting relapsing, primary or secondary progressive, depending on what symptoms they're presenting with. Obviously, it's useful to know the actual course of the disease because that allows you to establish what is potentially achievable, so whether you're looking at bouncing back after a relapse or whether you're looking at accommodating yourself to a new set of circumstances. And yeah, there's quite a lot of factors that go into that and preferably, we have a good system here where if I'm your physio, you would have known me for years quite often. So it's always useful to have the same kind of therapist if you can, or that continuity so that we can kind of discuss with you whether we think perhaps you're going into a secondary phase or whether we think this is a relapse or not a relapse. And it's really tricky sometimes, knowing whether you are having a relapse or not.
So having somebody who knows you quite well and knows how your body tends to be can be quite useful in determining whether you need to go off to the doctor's or you need some steroids or you need to just think, no, I've got to ride this out, it's not a relapse, I'm just having a play up, or I've had a virus, or there's other things that have gone on that are causing a deterioration at that time. But I appreciate that not everywhere has that kind of system and that's where really as the patient or the person with MS, we need to try and help you understand what your symptoms are, what they are caused by and trying to – it's a bit of a cliché – sort the wood out from the trees, because particularly in the early stages it's really hard to know, the symptoms you've got, are they MS related. There's many other things it can be due to and sometimes just talking that through with somebody, not necessarily your physio, it could be your GP, MS nurse, somebody like that, that can kind of help you work out what's what, can be really useful.
Peter: Thank you.

Could This Brutally Cruel Alternate 'Friends' Theory BE Any More Depressing?
In August, the Internet went a little nutty when a dark alternate Friends theory surfaced. The theory painted the beloved Phoebe Buffay as (according to Monica, Ross, Joey, Rachel, and Chanandler Bong Chandler Bing) "the crazy lady who always stares at us." The revised story further held that Phoebe imagined the entirety of the series in her meth-addled mind, and she was really a homeless person who slept by the opening-credits fountain. The very thought of this fan favorite falling on hard times was heartbreaking.
Not too long after this warped theory surfaced, writer D.F. Lovett conjured up a different theory, which is going belatedly viral. Media outlets are saying the new take is incredibly sad, but that it makes sense in a mind-blowing way. The new theory paints Ross in a negative light, which means it does more than make fun of him for visiting a pediatrician and playing with dinosaurs.
Highlights of the theory include the claim that Ross is a deadbeat dad because his son, Ben, disappears in season eight, never to be seen again:
"Sure, he mentions Ben in these last two and a half seasons, but does he have any role in Ben's life? When he references Ben, is he referencing something that once was, a child he no longer sees or knows? Think about everything we know about Ross. He's very jealous. He's possessive. He's arguably emotionally abusive. He believes in the friend zone … and, as the seasons unfold, narrowing down to the ending where he and Rachel end up ostensibly happy every after, he seems to be coming completely unhinged."
