Most people, myself included have a bunch of limiting beliefs and thoughts when it comes to money.? You?re never going to be financially successful if you believe things like ?money is evil? or you feel guilty for charging people for your work.? These books will help you to develop a much better attitude towards money which is a requirement if you want to be rich and successful one day.
This is the first money related book I ever read and it changed a lot of things I believed about money.? The author is a Jewish rabbi and he provides a ton of wisdom about money from the Jewish faith, philosophy and culture outlining things with 10 commandments of money that never change.? Don?t let the fact that this book is based in Judaism turn you off as this book is quite accessible to anyone.
This is a great book because while it does provide a lot of information about money and mindset most of the book is spent detailing the various skills and things you?re going to need to learn to become a millionaire.? Chapters will focus on different things like networking or branding yourself and explain what you can do to improve in these areas.
If you want to be a millionaire you?re going to have to think like a millionaire.? This book explains how to do that by identifying common limiting beliefs people have about money.?

This book is absolutely essential if you want to start investing.? Before reading this I knew pretty much nothing about investing and this book goes super in depth into the different kind of investments available.
It explains which ones are worth investing in and which to avoid.? It explains how you need to approach investing and explains a ton of mistakes people tend to make and how to avoid them. ?It also explains several kinds of excellent investments and tricks that most people have no idea about.
These books?will help you improve your productivity, get your work done and achieve mastery in your selected field.

These books are absolutely fantastic for helping you develop a positive mindset, learn things and interact with the world.? There?s a lot of wisdom and advice here that you can apply to pretty much all areas of your life.
This book details 48 laws to acquire power.? Each chapter explains one law with examples from history of people who followed the law and gained power and examples of people who didn?t follow the law and ended up ridiculed, ostracized or even killed.
You might have ethical concerns about applying some of these laws in your own life but this book is essential reading because you?ll start to understand the strategies people use to wield power over you.
The 50th Law is an excellent guide by Robert Greene and 50 Cent to success in life and work based on the principle of ?fear nothing?.? The book pulls stories and examples from 50 Cent and others? lives of people overcoming adversity by practicing this principle.
This book is an excellent companion to The 48 Laws of Power and I highly recommend you read this book after reading The 48 Laws of Power to see some excellent applications of these laws.
Scott Adams is the creator of the very popular comic Dilbert.? In this book he talks about his life, his failures, what he?s learned and how you can apply it to your own life.? Some very interesting ideas I took from the book are to use systems instead of goals and that you don?t have to be super amazing at one thing but instead can be ok at a certain combination of skills to succeed.
Meditations is a journal written by the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius.? It?s an excellent collection of lessons and wisdom based in the philosophy of Stoicism.? Despite being written in the Second Century you?ll find that it can be applied to your own life to help you deal with difficult people and situations, improve your mindset and life in general.? This is definitely one of the best philosophy books I?ve ever read.
Based in the philosophy of Stoicism the Obstacle is the Way provides strategies for overcoming obstacles and turn them into opportunities for improvement.? The book provides lots of examples of famous people who applied Stoicism to overcome obstacles in their own lives despite how much intelligence or talent they had.? If you?re feeling frustrated with your progress then this book can definitely help.
Baltasar Gracian was a 17th century Jesuit philosopher?and in this book he provides?a lot of excellent wisdom and proverbs that you can apply to your life today.? One thing that makes Baltasar Gracian?s work stand out is that he found virtues such as courage, kindness and generosity very important and this is reflected throughout the wisdom in this book.? You won?t find advice on how to screw over your enemies but instead will learn how to deal with difficult people and become a better person yourself.
Essentialism is all about focusing on the most important things and spending less time on everything else.? You?d think this would be common sense but it?s much harder than you think, especially if you?re busy all the time.? This book is a system for doing less but doing those things better and saying no to everything else.? By focusing on only what is essential you can take control of your life and choices and focus exactly where you want to put your time and energy instead of having others choose for you.
The antifragile unlike fragility, or even resilience, benefits and becomes stronger from things like stress, disorder and volatility. In this book the author explains the idea of antifragility and why it?s not only beneficial but necessarily in a huge variety of different cases. This book is highly technical though with a lot of mathematical and scientific examples so be aware of that before you start reading. If you?re ok with that you?ll find a lot of great information that you can apply to many different areas in your life.
Outwitting the Devil was one of the most interesting books I think I?ve ever read. In this book the author interviews the devil about how he traps people causing them to lock in bad habits and drift through life without accomplishing anything. From the devil he learns how to avoid this and exactly what one must do to become successful. To make things even more interesting the book was written in 1938 but was deemed to controversial and wasn?t published until 2011.
Marketing is absolutely essential for your business so you?re going to need at least a basic knowledge of marketing.? I?m a pretty big marketing nerd.? I studied it at university and I?ve read a lot of books on the subject and these are some of my favourites.
This book pretty much condenses my entire university eduction in marketing into a quick and easy to read 143 page book. It's a fantastic book to read if you have no experience with marketing and even if you do it's still very useful to read it every now and again to keep this information fresh in your mind. Even if your work doesn't directly involve marketing anyone doing anything related to business will benefit from reading this book.
This might be my favourite marketing book and it changed a lot of what I thought about marketing.? In this book Dan S. Kennedy makes a strong case for direct marketing and why you should use only direct marketing even if you don?t have a direct marketing business.
He outlines 10 rules for direct marketing and explains how each one works, provides examples and provides steps to apply them to your own business.? This is an excellent book if you plan on doing marketing and don?t want to waste your money on campaigns that don?t work.
Another excellent marketing book that describes how to create trust in your marketing in a world where people are finding it harder and harder to trust.
The book covers how to create and demonstrate trustworthiness and authority plus what to do once you have it to gain clients and referrals.? There are lots of excellent strategies here from how to avoid sounding like a salesperson to how to attract more affluent clients.
In general I?m not a huge fan of social media however I will admit that it has potential for certain businesses and industries.? If you want to pursue a social media strategy then you definitely want to read this book.
Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook describes how to tell your company or brand?s story through social media by providing lots of useful bits of content people love (jabs) and then occasionally throwing in your sales messages (the right hook).? You?ll learn lots of social media strategies as well as how you should format your messages for the major social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and more.
Travelling the world is something a lot of people would love to do but a lot of people find it intimidating or think it?s too expensive.? World travel is actually easier than you might think and these books provide strategies and information to encourage you to get out there.

Blackwater used 'child prostitutes in Iraq'
Sat, 08 Aug 2009 17:14:12 GMT
Blackwater founder Erik Prince
New disturbing charges have emerged against XE, the infamous private security firm formerly known as Blackwater Worldwide, whose operations came under spotlight after its 2007 carnage in Baghdad.
According to a report by MSNBC and based on alleged sworn declarations by two Blackwater employees in federal court, the firm used child prostitutes at its compound in Baghdad's fortified Green Zone.
The declarations added Iraqi minors got involve in sexual acts with Blackwater members in exchange for one dollar and Erik Prince, the firm's owner, "failed to stop the ongoing use of prostitutes, including child prostitutes, by his men."
Based on other statements, the firm was involved in another sex scandal; "Prince's North Carolina operations had an ongoing wife-swapping and sex ring, which was participated in by many of Mr. Prince's top executives."
The two employees also alleged that Prince "views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe," The Nation reported.
Prince also allegedly forced health professional to endorse the redeployment of those Blackwater members who had been mental problems, such as excessive drinking and drug abuse.
Other charges against the firm include arms smuggling, money laundering and tax evasion.
The criminal activities of the firm first came under scrutiny after a group of the firm's members who were tasked to guard US diplomats in Iraq opened fire on civilians in Baghdad on September 2007, killing 17 people.
According to federal contract data obtained by The Nation, the Obama administration has recently extended a contract with Blackwater for more than $20 million for "security services" in Iraq.

Has your city recently abolished Columbus Day and adopted Indigenous Peoples Day? Are you looking for some ways to celebrate the holiday? While I am not usually in the business of educating folks on Native things (there are plenty of Native folks out here doing this work I am just not one of them) something about this day has me feeling generous. Lucky for you, I come from a gift-giving culture (you're welcome). Here are some ideas:
1. Find out the name of the tribe(s) whose land you live on and then make sure all your friends and family know that name. Understand that while you did not personally colonize or commit genocide against an entire people you are the benefactor of those legacies of violence and displacement. Know those legacies.
2. Take your newly acquired knowledge of those Indigenous people whose land you are visiting and acknowledge it publicly. Announce it at work, school, or at some point in your day. Go home and tell your family. Enthusiastically chant it to the people you pass on the sidewalk. Take it to social media and educate the masses. Whose land do you live on and what happened to make your presence on their land possible?
3. Talk to your kids and students about settler colonialism. If you are not familiar with that term use Google or your local library and find some Native-authored books that will explain it to you. Understand that while some folks came to settle in the United States under forcible displacement, relocation, the need to live in safety, health, and with adequate material realities, and/or other circumstances outside your control you have a relationship to settler colonialism. Reflect on that relationship.
4. Support your local Native businesses and artists by buying their work and visiting their shops, galleries, and restaurants. Go online and buy Native (not "Native- inspired") art, music, and books. Make a donation to your favorite Native non-profit whose invaluable work our communities depend on. My ideas include the The Native Youth Sexual Health Network, Winona LaDuke Honor the Earth, and the Native Scholars – American Indian College Fund, but there are many more great organizations out there you can and should support with your cash donations, time, and resources.
5. If you attend a university or other public/private institution whose history with Natives is particularly racist know that history. Educate yourself. Do not ask your token Native friend to explain it to you, but be thankful and self-critical if and when they do. When the inevitable racist comment is made in your class discussion or daily conversations take on the emotional labor of disputing it so that the Native students and others do not have to.
6. Send a letter or text or email to that special Indigenous person in your life and congratulate them for surviving 500+ years of colonialism. Hug a Native friend, permitting you have their consent. Kiss that Native cutie you've been eyeing and if they kiss you back consult this essay to learn how to engage your decolonial love muscles. This way you will have some tools to become a less oppressive date/partner:
7. Burn your "Navajo-inspired" panties, boycott your Urban Outfitters, and work through your attachment to the dream catcher hanging above your bed or the racist mascot on your shirt.
8. Read and think deeply about the unsettling, large, and often ignored number of Indigenous women who are missing, murdered and sexually assaulted. Know the names of trans Native women who are too often the targets of physical, spiritual, and sexual violence. There are Native organizations, artists, and activists doing vital anti-violence and feminist work. Find their work on social media and help uplift it. If your liberation is inextricably bound with ours then, please, work with us.
9. Go ahead and attend your local Indigenous Peoples Day ceremony or anti-Columbus Day rally. When you do, remember to take up less space and ask yourself how you can better be in solidarity with Native people, struggles, and triumphs. After you are done asking yourselves, ask your communities what you can do to collectively contribute to Indigenous land reclamation projects, language revitalization programs, and more generally uplift the voices of Native peoples. When given the opportunity, listen to Native people and engage with our means of asking for what we need and want. Native communities are the best equipped to articulate what we need from non-Native folks trying to be in solidarity and our right to self-determination is entirely our own. While your support of Indigenous people is graciously accepted your patronizing claps and/or approval is not. Challenge yourselves and your loved ones to learn your relationship to settler colonialism. Be more critical, loving people.
10. Finally, commit to doing this work every day not just when it's a federal holiday. After all, when you live on Turtle Island, every day is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Our galaxy may be awash in homeless planets, wandering through space instead of orbiting a star. There may be 100,000 times more "nomad planets" in the Milky Way than stars, according to a new study by researchers at the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC), a joint institute of Stanford University and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
If the planets were evenly distributed over a cubic light year then there would be one Pluto or larger size planet every 2200 astronomical units or one for every cubic two light week volume.
This situation would not be like islands in the Pacific Ocean for Polynesian colonization. The reason is that there is almost no friction in space. If we have a colonization ship that gets up to 5 to 20% of the speed of light, then it would make no sense to spend fuel to slow down at a nomad planet and then use the same amount of fuel to speed up again. Other consumable supplies should be carried onboard and recycled as efficiently as possible.
For long term colonization the nomad planets would require a civilization not wanting to be near the solar energy of a star.
If they have a power source that was efficient and independent of a star, then this could be conceivable. Still for major colonization of particular nomad planets there would have to be something useful about the particular nomad planet. It is not efficient to develop a colony in space and then move resources over many light weeks or light months.
The resources on Earth or at any particular location need to be worth using at that location. There are no resource limitations that need resources to be moved from a moon to a planet or from Pluto to Earth.
There could be a need for secret base and the hidden construction of a space fleet but those kinds of future scenarios would be dependent on some hypothetical political situation.

CHICAGO, November 8, 2017 — The popularity of the Broadway musical HAMILTON has inspired a new exhibit about Alexander Hamilton at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago's Money Museum. Among his many achievements, Hamilton contributed to the creation of America's first central bank, the forerunner to the nation's current Federal Reserve system. The bank was a vital part of a national financial infrastructure that Hamilton created, which became the model for today's economy based on a stable currency and access to credit.
The exhibit displays numerous examples of historical currency featuring Hamilton, including the first $5 note ever issued by the United States government, a rare $2 bill, and $1,000 gold certificates. It also details Hamilton's struggle with other Founding Fathers to establish a strong financial foundation for the young country. In 1791, he championed creation of the Bank of the United States, an early attempt at central banking.
Hamilton's legacy is portrayed in the musical HAMILTON by Lin-Manuel Miranda, which is currently playing in Chicago at the CIBC Theatre.
"Given the musical's popularity, a lot of our museum visitors ask questions about Hamilton," said Jessa Wolfe, Public Affairs Representative for the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. "We think we have a unique opportunity to inform visitors about the important role Hamilton had in the economic development of our country and the evolution of its central bank."
The Money Museum features historic currency, interactive games, and many other exhibits about the roles and responsibilities of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the Federal Reserve System. It is open to the public and is visited frequently by school and business groups. To schedule a guided visit for your group, go to https://www.chicagofed.org/applications/money_museum_tour/login.htm.
The free museum is located on the bank's first floor at 230 S. LaSalle Street in downtown Chicago and is open weekdays from 8:30 am to 5 pm.
Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago Background
The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago is one of 12 regional Reserve Banks that, along with the Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., make up the nation's central bank. The Chicago Reserve Bank serves the seventh Federal Reserve District, which encompasses the northern portions of Illinois and Indiana, southern Wisconsin, the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, and the state of Iowa. In addition to participation in the formulation of monetary policy, each Reserve Bank supervises member banks and bank holding companies, provides financial services to depository institutions and the U.S. government, and monitors economic conditions in its District.

A University of Chicago MRSEC team led by Philippe Guyot-Sionnest and Woowon Kang have been investigating the transport properties of colloidal quantum dots under magnetic field[1].
They uncovered two effects of the magnetic field on the conductance of the quantum dot solids. One effect is the wavefunction squeezing under large magnetic field (10T) and low temperature which reduces overlap and thus conductivity.
The other effect is a spin blockade in which electrons of spin quantized with the external field cannot pass by a dot already occupied by an electron of the same spin orientation, as shown in the schematic at left. At low magnetic field spin (0.2T) weak hyperfine coupling can randomize the spins, favoring transport.
This type of nanomaterial may provide components of future technologies based on spin control with potential applications in information storage and computing.

Globetrotting: Shockoe at MWC19 Barcelona
As we have done in previous years, Shockoe will be attending MWC19 Barcelona in a few weeks. Formerly known as the Mobile World Congress, this is the largest mobile event in the world and we are looking forward to learning more about leading-edge technology with innovation leaders from all over. This year's theme is "Intelligent Connectivity", which will focus on AI, Industry 4.0, Connectivity, Immersive Content, Disruption Innovation, Digital Wellness, Digital Trust, and The Future.
While we are excited to attend the event to learn, we are also eager to showcase our work as an exhibitor at the event along with our partner, Goo Apps. At Shockoe, we understand that every solution is different and we tailor each to best fit the client's business objectives. We also know technology is ever evolving and we are excited to be at the forefront of the crusade to bring new technology into mobile apps; to enhance and improve customer experience. Here are some benefits of AR that we have found make profound impacts from both consumer and enterprise perspectives:
Object Visualization
In a world where people want to know how something looks on themselves or in a particular space, AR enables consumers to do this without even going to the store. People can see how a different type of flooring would look in their house or how a pair of glasses looks on their face.
The integration between the real world and AR's technology can strongly benefit training by leveraging object recognition and data superimposition. The combination of head-mounted displays and environmental recognition allows businesses to train their employees more quickly.
Businesses want to improve workflow and processes, and AR can play a big role in making that happen. Workers can leverage AR to find equipment or parts quicker and even be directed to the next step visually. Managers can see the real-time progress of projects or the state of merchandise in a flow. Enterprise IoT integration allows for scalable and flexible visualization opportunities.
Customer Service
Instead of waiting on the phone to talk to someone, AR can help provide tools to allow customers to fix issues themselves. They can simply point their phone at the product and an overlay can be displayed to walk the person through the repair process.
If you are attending the event, please stop on by our stand CS120-16 or click the link below for more information and schedule a demo!
We will have AR apps available to show you, as well a portfolio of solutions we have done for other clients that may fit your needs.

Hennessy students play for NSW in Fiji
In early December two students from Young's Hennessy Catholic College represented NSW at the 2018 Ultimate Fiji Soccer Cup.
Year 11 student, Alyssa Armstrong played in the U17s senior girls NSW International Football Group team and Mitchell Brown who is a student in Year 9, competed in the U16's team.
The tournament was played in many locations across Fiji including Nadi, Ba, and Lautoka and teams from South Australia, New South Wales, New Zealand and Fiji took part.
Alyssa's team played against Fiji West, Fiji South and South Australia and made it through to the grand final where they were beaten by Fiji West. Mitchell's team also had a good tournament winning the play-off for third-place on the last day.
Both students agreed that it was an incredibly humbling and eye-opening experience to visit the island and learn about the Fijian culture.
"The highlight was going to a village and meeting and playing with the Fijian children, who had been waiting all week for the teams to arrive", said Alyssa.
Mitchell and Alyssa had an amazing week and made many new friends both within their team and also from Fiji.

"Poetry is meant to be communicated": such is the poetic manifesto of Jayanta Mahapatra, eminent Indian poet in English. John Barnie, comparing Wordsworth and Mahapatra said, "The differences in the two poets are profound, yet in one sense at least, the comparison is just, for few poets in our century have evoked the still, sad, music so movingly as Mahapatra. He writes mainly about Orissa and everyday characters and incidents in Oriya life as in his poem about Raju sweeper.
Despite being an established Indian writer in English, Mahapatra turned to writing in Oriya and became a bi-lingual writer. He has stated that he is basically an "Oriya poet who incidentally writes in English". Speaking about the constant presence of Orissa in his poetry, he says," My writing portrays cultural values native to Orissa, not to other regions of India. And perhaps I have done just this in my poetry". His collections in Oriya include Baya Raja, Bali, Kahibi Gotie Katha and others. Madhusudan Prasad, who collected a series of essays on him in The Poetry Of Jayanta Mahapatra: A Critical Study finds him " authentically Indian�rooted deeply in Indian socio-cultural values."
His poetry is evocative and haunting, and settles down slowly in the mind like rain. His Collection of poems include The Rain of Rites, the award wining Relationship, Close the Sky, Ten By Ten and others. He has won the prestigious Jacob Glatstein Prize (Chicago, 1975) and the Sahitya Akademi Award, 1981. He admits that poetry came to him rather late. In his own words," Poetry came to me much later, when I thought I had almost finished with my life. And writing a good poem makes me feel really good." Most of his poems, written in flowing free verse, reveal a graceful sense of motion, of perspective, and of time. His latest collection, Random Descent has been widely appreciated and even thought by many to be his best work till date.
Living in the most charming and cozy house in Tinikonia Bagicha in Cuttack, he has attended poetry conferences in Australia, Japan, the United States and other nations. Sitting on the very edge of his chair, displaying an incredible restlessness and energy, he professes to have a deep love of adventure. He has known the importance of the small pleasures of life such as the sound of rain on a tin window and the warmth of a bath with a bucket of water warmed in the sun. Along with recognition of life's little pleasures, he also has an awareness of its underlying sadness. Renowned poet and critic, K. Ayyappa Paniker maintained that "The tragic consciousness does not seem to operate in the work of any Indian poet in English as disturbingly as in that of Jayanta Mahapatra."
As many artists before him, he has a complaint to make of the media, who pay more attention to sensationalism than to promotion of culture and literary events.
With the publication of his collection The Green Gardener, 1997, he made his first foray into the genre of the short story, though he had started writing fiction long back. In the collection, persons and events acquire symbolic significance and language is strangely lyrical, not unlike Hardy.
Currently he also edits the bi-annual literary journal, Chandrabhaga. He refers to it as a means of showcasing writers, old and new. When poetic inspiration flags, his wife Jyotsna Mohapatra says, he turns to experimentation in the kitchen, making a considerable mess of things.

Stamisol commits to Dame Judith Hackitt's request for compliance
Stamisol, the supplier of "Safe One" façade breather membranes, a division of Serge Ferrari, has announced that it has agreed to be compliant with the stringent requirements of building safety in the UK and to maintain the highest building industry standards.
Stamisol Safe One façade breather vertical wall membrane product, manufactured as part of life safety smoke and fire control vertical wall membrane, has been independently tested and certified to EN13501-1 standard as an Euroclass A2-s1,d0 membrane with the CE mark. This includes a requirement that installers who fit their vertical façade membranes should be accredited to NVQ level 2 and hold a CSCS skill card, this will demonstrate that they have the necessary competence to comply with ADB and C. This competence, coupled to the Stamisol Safe One 10-year product warranty, will give a perfect Euroclass A2 building envelope when used with other Euroclass A2 vertical wall products.
Stamisol has introduced a formal complaints procedure in order to effectively handle any concerns or allegations that standards have fallen below expected levels of an installer or an organisation has failed to adhere to the Stamisol code of conduct.
In the wake of the Grenfell tragedy and the subsequent review of building regulations and fire safety, Stamisol has taken great strides in addressing many of the challenges laid out in Dame Judith Hackitt's report, demonstrating the leadership needed to drive a shift in culture for outer wall systems. Dame Judith recently warned that the current economic downturn could be used as an excuse for further poor practice and delay in doing the right thing.
Stamisol will continue to raise standards and build on the progress that has been made.
Tim Schubert, Business Unit Manager of Stamisol, explains: "Stamisol appreciate the importance of adhering to the highest possible standards when supplying and installing Euroclass A2 façade breather membranes systems into the UK. They are commitment to best practice and therefore can be relied upon to provide expert advice and guidance to architects, consultants, specifiers and installers".

Whatever sport is your passion – from football to baseball, or playing pool – along with your 70 inch TV, you know you want to make your home party central! Building your Reality home with the prospect of fitting all that in will make it a smooth process. It very well could be cheaper than season tickets to the Seahawks! Things to ponder:
Open floor plan
Having the family room connected to the kitchen can be the ticket to easy access to all the great food that goes along with game watching. With your big screen TV hanging on the wall and the game going for all to see – imagine your kitchen customized with a large island lined with all the salty snacks you can think of as well as beer in the fridge. Just outside of your large sliding-glass door you can have the grill going with burgers and hotdogs under your custom porch cover! Customize your floor plan here.
Man cave
Yes, that term is overused. However, we know you want one! If you have the space you can convert one of the bedrooms into your "at-home" retreat, or if your lot and/or budget allows it consider a basement or a detached garage with a bonus room. This is a perfect way to use decor that can reflect your favorite team, and it will not clash with the rest of the house! Check out our Pinterest page for ideas.
Pool table
Finding space for a pool table can be challenging! If the plan you choose has an open floor plan with plenty of seating around the custom island you designed, and the formal dining is something your family will never use, consider making that the game room! You can add a small tall table with stools to add to the comfort. This floor plan is perfect for just that!
Don't forget when you're building to consider plenty of outlets to power all your toys and may we make all your dreams a Reality!

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it. Ephesians 5:25
A little boy was looking through the family picture album, and he came to a picture of his mother when she was a young girl, taken just after his parents had married. The boy asked his father, "Is that when Mother came to work for us?"
Does this ring true in your home? Let me set the record straight. That's not what the Bible teaches. That's not the way Christ loves the church. He gave Himself to us to sacrifice for us. The husband is to love his wife as Christ loves the church.
If a husband follows the example of Jesus Christ, he will love his wife sacrificially. He will love her in such a way that he would be willing to lay down his life for her. He's going to protect her. He's going to provide for her. He's going to do what he can to present his wife and family as holy vessels for the Lord's use.
Are you married? Then how are you doing on the sacrificial quotient of giving to your spouse? If you had to, would you be willing to lay down your life for your spouse? It's servant leadership. And your children are watching your example.

I had the opportunity to see the New York Theatre Workshop staging of Once, a play based on the John Carney film starring Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová.

After a less than ideal time in the first pre-season test you'd expect a team like McLaren to quickly overcome the small niggling issues and get things running smoothly for the rest of the pre-season.
That hasn't been the case, however, as the MCL33 suffered some kind of issue on the first three days of the second test and has now completed the 'full set' by breaking down on the final day as well. Ouch.
Just five laps into the day the MCL33 ground to a halt at turn seven, with Fernando Alonso suggesting some sort of engine issue over the team radio. There are no words.

You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
I don't have the energy level at 65 years old that I had at 25.
Are these cliches actually true? And, even if they are, what do they have to do with learning agility?
Learning agility is finding yourself in a situation in which you have never been before, not knowing what to do and figuring it out.
There are nine dimensions to Learning Agility, as identified by Dr. Warner Burke, a professor and researcher at Teachers College, Columbia University:
1. Flexibility - Being open to new ideas and proposing new solutions.
2. Speed - Acting on ideas quickly to discard those that aren't working and accelerate more promising possibilities.
3. Experimenting - Trying out new behaviors (i.e. approaches, ideas) to determine what is effective.
4. Performance Risk Taking - Seeking new activities (i.e., tasks, assignments, roles) that provide opportunities to be challenged.
5. Interpersonal Risk Taking - Confronting differences with others in a way that can generate unique opportunities for learning.
6. Collaborating - Finding ways to work with others that lead to unique learning opportunities.
7. Information Gathering - Using various methods to remain current in one's area of expertise.
8. Feedback Seeking - Asking others for feedback on one's ideas and overall performance.
9. Reflecting - Slowing down to evaluate one's own performance in order to be more effective.
With that idiom about "old dogs" – does it mean the older you get, the less likely you are to be in a brand-new situation and have to figure out what to do?
Speaking for myself – and I am over 65 years old – I have been in more than 100 new situations in the last five years in which I didn't know what to do and then, figured it out. My wife and I moved to a new city (Wilmington), where we didn't know a soul (Flexibility). I established my business in Wilmington and greater North Carolina. (Performance Risk Taking). We found and bought a house (Information Gathering).
Initially, all we knew were general areas here in town. (Flexibility). We joined and did things with the Newcomers and Men's clubs (Interpersonal Risk Taking and Collaborating). We had to think about the different input we were getting from people and determine what made the most sense for us (Reflecting). Sometimes we asked other people for their opinion (Feedback Seeking).
What we did not do a lot of were Experimenting or demonstrating Speed. There may be some instances where Speed is called upon less often based on age. There are instances in which I can call on Speed as a capability, but not as often as other learning agility dimensions.
The other statement that I mentioned in the opening of this article had to do with energy. If you think of energy, motivation or drive, the overall capacity tends to decline somewhat over time, but the fire, desire and passion are all still there. My stamina or ability to draw on that motivation is not as limitless as it once seemed; it needs to be recharged more often.
Does that mean that learning agility declines with age? Absolutely not. Like with any of our other work, in God we trust and all others bring data. Our information is anecdotal. We would need a longitudinal study in which we measured learning agility a T1 (25 years of age) and again at T2 (65 years of age) to see if those scores have changed. If someone had been working on certain dimensions, you would expect those scores to increase over time.
If the person did nothing over the 40 years, you would expect they would stay about the same but not decline.
Other aspects of our being, like cognitive ability and personality, are fixed earlier in life and tend to be stable over a lifetime. Cognitive ability, or Intelligence Quotient (IQ), tends to be fixed by the age of 6 and remains pretty stable for the rest of a person's life. Similarly, personality – as measured by an accepted test, like the Jackson or Hogan Personality Test – sees personality as pretty much determined by age 14. It then tends to be stable over the rest of a person's life.
To summarize, intelligence and personality are established relatively early in life and don't change much over the rest of a person's life. Learning agility is also something a person begins to learn early in life and doesn't decline over time… but it can also be increased.
Everyone needs a certain amount of learning ability (smarts) but after that minimum or threshold, greater intelligence does not increase learning agility. The other thing that affects learning agility is motivation. How important is it for you to put yourself in new situations in which you don't know what to do and figure it out?
For some people that drive or passion never decreases with time. For others, there is a decrease in learning agility's importance in a person's life. That person's capability in a particular dimension will likely not decrease.
It is like a muscle – if you choose not to use it, it is still there but will be more difficult to access. Maintaining or increasing one's level of learning agility is a choice and not an inevitable function of chronological age.

Back before he became an "A"-list director with the Spider-Man movies, Sam Raimi was best known as the guy behind the crazy Evil Dead horror flicks. Raimi attempts other genres, however, and took on Westerns with 1995's The Quick and the Dead.
Rugged frontierswoman named Ellen (Sharon Stone) enters the lawless town of Redemption in search of revenge. Though intent on her mission, she becomes involved in the town's big Quick Draw Competition. There she faces off against contestants like cocky young Kid (Leonardo DiCaprio), reformed gunslinger Reverend Cort (Russell Crowe) and flamboyant Ace (Lance Henriksen). While this occurs, she pursues her vendetta against John Herod (Gene Hackman), another shooter and the root of much of the town's evil.
Wow – it's been so long since the release of Quick that I forgot Stone actually starred in the movie! If you look at the Blu-ray's cover, you'll think that Stone is just part of an ensemble cast and not the lead. That's because Crowe and DiCaprio have become major stars since 1995, while Stone has lost her prior luster.
Not that she does anything to embarrass herself here. I'm not sure Stone really seems right for this part, as I think she's more suited to femme fatale roles. Nonetheless, she invests her character with a good sense of humanity and she can still pull off the requisite level of toughness. Someone like Kathleen Turner might've been a little stronger, but Stone proves more than satisfactory.
It helps that she finds herself among a terrific supporting cast. While Hackman essentially plays a reprise of his Unforgiven character, he remains a delight to watch. Then on the cusp of stardom, DiCaprio reminds us why he seemed destined to become a household name, as he contributes a nice sense of heart to his generally one-dimensional character. Crowe also does good work with an underdeveloped character and brings out a lot of personality without much script support behind him.
It's somewhat amazing to see how much the various actors do with the characters since only Ellen receives any legitimate exposition. With the others, the script hints at backstories; it'll tell us a significant event or two and force us to assume the rest. Or more accurately, it forces the actors to flesh out the rest via their performances, which they all do. This isn't the kind of movie one looks to for fine acting, but I think we get a lot of above average performances, and they all give the film more substance than I'd expect.
Raimi also manages to squeeze a surprising amount of tension from a structure that should become tedious. After all, the majority of the drama stems from the shootouts, and those are obviously repetitive in nature. Nonetheless, Raimi milks each one for all its worth; despite the predictable nature of much of the plot, we find ourselves worked up for each of the fights, and they prove to be genuinely exciting.
All of these factors contribute to the film's success. Quick didn't find much of an audience back in 1995, but that doesn't reflect on its qualities. The movie offers an interesting take on the Western genre.
The Quick and the Dead appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this Blu-Ray Disc. Though inconsistent, the transfer usually satisfied.
My biggest complaint related to sharpness. While most of the movie exhibited good – and occasionally great – definition, more than a few soft shots cropped up along the way. These weren't enough to spoil the rest of the film, but they did cause some distractions. No issues with shimmering or jaggies interfered, and edge enhancement remained minimal. As for source flaws, I noticed a handful of small specks but nothing major.
Like most Westerns, Quick went with a dusty palette. A moderate reddish tint occasionally added warmth to the image, but the flick usually stayed with the standard arid sensibility. Across the board, the colors looked positive given their design restrictions. Blacks were dark and dense, while shadows showed generally good clarity and visibility; a few low-light scenes seemed slightly thick, but not to a great degree. The softness almost made this a "B-", but I thought the film looked good enough for a "B".
I awarded the same grade to the Dolby TrueHD 5.1 soundtrack of Quick, which came as a surprise. Given the nature of the story and all its action, I expected something livelier and more involving. Don't get me wrong: the movie offered some good segments that used the five channels in a vivid way. These were just the exception more than they were the rule, and that was the surprise.
Nonetheless, the soundfield was reasonably satisfying. Music boasted nice stereo definition, while effects spread to the sides and the rears in a convincing manner. Only a few scenes really brought the track to life, but there was enough action here to provide a good soundscape.
Audio quality was also perfectly satisfactory. Effects showed nice range and heft, though a bit of distortion marred some louder scenes. Music was bright and vivid, and speech seemed well-reproduced. The lines showed good clarity and concision throughout the film. Though the soundfield wasn't ambitious enough for a really high grade, it still worked well enough for a "B".
A few ads appear in the Previews domain. We get promos for The Da Vinci Code, Casino Royale, Ghostbusteres, A River Runs Through It, Damages Season One, The Sky Crawlers, Sugar, Rudo Y Cursi and Tyson. No trailer for Quick shows up here.
One additional comment about the supplements: the Blu-ray's case mentions a feature called "movieIQ". This sounds like a running, interactive component. Unfortunately, it requires BD Live to access it. My player lacks that connection, so I can't comment on its contents – or include "movieIQ" in my supplements grade. If you have BD Live, you'll probably be more pleased with the extras than I was.
At its heart, The Quick and the Dead sounds like some kid's silly fantasy of a movie: "It's like High Noon but just the ending!" While that premise easily could have faltered, it actually works well here, as the film keeps us interested and entertained. The Blu-ray offers generally good picture and audio but it skimps on extras. The lack of substantial supplements makes this one a tough "buy" recommendation, but I do like the movie enough to at least urge you to give it a rental.

I've had the Same Conversation with Tons of People
Lots of people have told me things like "I'd love to start a blog but I don't know how to build a website" or "I'd love to start a side-business but I don't know anything about marketing." I always tell them the same thing, that today there are tools and resources out there to make it much easier than they think.
I started this website to teach people what I've learned and how they can start their own successful website or business themselves. There's no better time to get started than right now.

Over the last six or seven years, I've taken it upon myself to get involved with the angling community from Panama City to Orange Beach. Writing in the Pensacola News Journal, countless magazine angling articles, Berkley/Penn Tour, speaking at fishing clubs and especially in creating the "Hook, Line and Sinker Seminar Series" in Pensacola, a series heading into it's sixth success season. Until 2009, we did not receive payment for the HLS, we didn't really want to. Because of it's success, local businesses were very interested in advertising with banners because the HLS sttracted 150-350 attendees on a very consistent basis. This brought in some cash for us. Of course, these events are beneficial to me for several differents reasons but I hope they have been an important source for knowledge for anglers along the Gulf Coast. They are always free to the public and I hope they have improved everyone's angling experience in some way.
Anyway, I see seminar attendees all the time along the Gulf Coast and many times they walk up with a beer and say "thanks." I appreciate the kind gesture so much, and it's never necessary, but I sure like beer. Friday night, as usual, Tracy and I are having dinner at the Fishhouse. Towards the end of our meal, a very nice gentleman named, Jeff, approaches our table and says hello. We talk for a moment and discovered he and his son are HLS seminar veteran attendees. Jeff left a wonderful gift with me.
This column is to, first, say thank you very much to Jeff again and to make sure he calls me at 8507484368 so that I can take Jeff and his son on a free Redfish University trip very soon. Call me soon and thank you again, Jeff!!

Biological Farmer, The (2nd Edition)
Biological farmers work with nature, feeding soil life, balancing soil minerals and tilling soils with a purpose. The methods they apply involve a unique system of beliefs, observations and guidelines that result in increased production and profit. This practical how-to guide explains their methods and will help you make farming profitable and fun. Biological farming does not mean less production; it means eliminating obstacles to healthy, efficient production. Once the chemical, physical and biological properties of the soil are in balance, you can expect optimal outputs, even in bad years. Biological farming improves the environment, reduces erosion, reduces disease and insect problems, and alters weed pressure and it accomplishes this by working in harmony with nature.
In this greatly expanded, revised edition of a modern farming classic, Gary Zimmer draws on a lifetime of farming experience and adds in the latest science and experience on modern issues facing farmers including the impact of GMOs, herbicide-resistant weeds, and more. For decades, Gary Zimmer has been developing new ways to engage and support soil life. His system feeds soil microbes, balances soil minerals, promotes tillage with a purpose, and relies on both cover crops and diverse rotations.

The Biological Farmer....an Irish Farmers review.
A very comprehensive book on soil, well written and easy to understand for the target audience.....the farmer. Clearly aimed for North America but soil is soil no matter where in the world one farms and the principles don't change. A very useful reference book written by a man who clearly cares deeply about the subject matter and shares his knowledge and experience in a down to earth manner. A book I will treasure and come back to again and again.
Biological farmer
One of best books on how soil works
Too much plowing
I've been doing biological farming and consulting for years now, and Zimmer is a long-time established expert in this field and speaks at all the conferences, but I really question whether this is truly what "biological" is. So much soil work, and no discussion on actual microbiology in the soil and how to build that. I think the Dr. Ingham Soil Food Web approach coupled with No-Till and cover crops is much more "biological." Still, it's one of those books that should be in your library to be well-rounded.
Run of the mill type book without anything new
No wonder it was a free offer.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following article has been modified to reflect the final winners of Emmy Awards.
Not much unlike last year, unsurprisingly so, the race this year too is going to be squarely set between major characters from returning shows, fact being that most of them have already secured nominations before in the same roles. The only big shakeup I see from last year's lineup is that the winner from 2018, an incredible Matthew Rhys won't be returning this year, with 'The Americans' having aired its final season last year.
'Westworld' was another popular show, also an award circuit favourite that won't be returning within the eligibility window for this year, with the next season scheduled for 2020, thus rendering Jeffrey Wright and Ed Harris ineligible too. The other major shakeup I expect is from 'Game of Thrones', that is increasingly getting difficult to predict given its almost decade long tryst with the Emmys and given how its final season has turned out. Nothing is for certain even now, but the show might finally did bag a nomination in the lead actor category.
While we discuss the individual strength of all these nominees as we read about them in the following writeup, the nominations anyway had little to no chance of landing up outside this bracket. Predicting winners, however, will be a completely different ballgame altogether. You see, the thing with uniformly good performances over years is that you surely know who is going to be running in the race. However, when it comes to deciding the winner, everyone would then seem to have a worthy claim or a plausible shot at the title. That being said, read on to find out our predictions for the best actor nominations for a Drama series at the Emmys 2019.
Should Have Been Nominated
Brian Cox, Succession
WIth Kit Harington's sure shot nomination on the cards since the beginning despite how the last season performed, I wasn't anyway sure about this one. Brian Cox playing the patriarch in 'Succession', due for a second season renewal this year, ultimately didn't land a nomination despite being pretty great in the role. Its first season, while not exactly a home run, proved to be right among the top for HBO's excellent slate of shows. Plus, the show remained largely snubbed at the Golden Globes last year. While that was mostly an indication of a show's fate at the Emmys, I was hoping that 'Succession' might have just made a comeback. Clearly, that wasn't the case.
Richard Madden, Bodyguard
Richard Madden's big win at the Golden Globes last year seemed to seal a nomination call for him at the Emmys, but it turned out quite the opposite. The British espionage drama has earned rave reviews but was mostly seen as populist affair until it sweeped major nominations at nearly all award shows, surprising virtually everyone, including me. 'Bodyguard' has made a place for itself, in the best drama series category, but fans of Richard Madden would be disappointed, despite BBC and its American streaming partner Netflix putting up a strong campaign,
Final Nominations
6. Kit Harington, Game of Thrones
Perhaps the one character on the show who I felt was done the most injustice too, given his rise to prominence over the course of seven seasons, even being brought from the dead, to have his story arc culminate into frustratingly, nothing. Before the series aired, Harington appeared on virtually all lists that predicted the talented actor finally grabbing a nomination for male star headlining the show. He did, but to be fairly honest, the script wasn't the only major letdown from this season: Harington and his character were too. Despite the nomination owing to the show's massive reputation, a win seems hardly likely since the contestants ahead are formidable.
5. Jason Bateman, Ozark
If there is one thing that doesn't look to change for Netflix's atmospheric drama, it is that it's seriously got Jason Bateman going for it. As with its first season, while the plot of the series itself may have repeatedly faltered and picked up, Bateman (and co-star Laura Linney) have managed to turn in consistently engaging performances, and I comfortably and fairly predicted a nomination for both, especially for Bateman who has also served the show in multiple capacities including director for a handful of episodes and executive producer for the series. However, though the second season may have turned out to be slightly better in my opinion than the first, when it comes to who wins, Netflix will have to put in some serious muscle behind Bateman if they need to secure a win.
4. Milo Ventimiglia, This Is Us
Milo Ventimiglia, television's perfect husband and gentleman, might have failed to secure a nomination last time, but succeeded in getting one this year. In his squaring off against his co-star for the same title, I would pitch this one as a classic heart vs. mind scenario. Sterling K. Brown clearly has a better shot at it, but that would be the mind side of it, terming what would exactly be logical and perhaps plausible as well. The heart though, would want Ventimiglia to pick the trophy up once. We'll have to wait until September to find out for sure.
3. Sterling K. Brown, This is Us
As I said, this will not be the first time two co-stars from the same show are put together in the bidding for the same category. The two have previously fared off against each other for 'This is Us' in 2017, and the face off saw Sterling K. Brown pick up the Emmy for his stellar performance as Randall Pearson. Brown is also a serious, serious contender when it comes to who would actually get to pick the trophy, and his 2017 Emmy win would seem to cement that. While a nomination for both given the series' excellent close of its third season not too long ago was given, it would make more sense to wager on the side of Sterling K. Brown to win, given his earlier win at the Emmys and a recent clear-out at the Golden Globes. However, my final prediction is a tad bit away from these two finely talented actors. Read on.
2. Bob Odenkirk, Better Call Saul
As the series draws closer to tying ends with 'Breaking Bad', the excellent spin off series that recently wrapped up its fourth season and is looking to return for a fifth within another year is surely looking to spice things up as things grow more intense and the performances tight. However, when it comes to awards, there is no doubt that the show has a lack of them, but there is perhaps no greater disservice to the lore of 'Breaking Bad' and to Jimmy McGill that Bob Odenkirk has been nominated every single year that he has played the character for the series for both the Golden Globes and the Emmys, but hasn't since won a single honour of the two. Maybe, just maybe, before the series looks to wrap things up, it might finally be time for the TV Academy to honour the actor for his impeccably cunning portrayal of Jimmy McGill before the legend began. This year too, while a nomination is guaranteed, I sincerely hope that the battle royale has him emerging the winner. Bob Odenkirk is my final prediction for the Best Actor in a Drama Series.
1. Billy Porter, Pose
The series ended a glorious run in the second half of 2018, just when the official Emmys bracket opened up, and has been renewed for a second season that is due to air later this year. Billy Porter who I am all praises for garnered major praise for his portrayal of Pray Tell, and earned nominations at the Golden Globes and the Critic's choice awards. That alone sealed his fate for a nomination that was almost guaranteed given how well the show has been fairing and how well his performance has already been received, with nothing but praises. The show's resounding message of love and inclusiveness, that has been unanimously lauded is also bound to work favourably for the show in all categories.

Ohio State students demand refunds after college kicks them out of dorms
A petition for reimbursement has begun, with over 17,000 signatures.
Students at Ohio State University demand refunds as online classes and off-campus housing are enforced.
At Ohio State University, thousands of students are calling for a refund as the university decided to close face-to-face classes recently in light of the concerns surrounding the coronavirus.
On Thursday, the university administration announced that beginning on March 23rd, all classes would transition to online classes through the remainder of the spring semester. Additionally, students living on campus are required to find alternative housing, whether that be off-campus housing or going back home to be with their families.
[RELATED: GOP congressman to colleges kicking students out of dorms: Refund their money]
However, given that students semesterly room and board costs are for the entire semester and they're being asked to move out about halfway into the semester Ohio State students are now demanding a refund.
On Thursday night, a self-identified student named John Kacherski began a petition on Change.org for the school to refund students the cost of room and board from now until the end of the semester. The petition reads:
On March 12th, 2020, The Ohio State University announced that, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person lectures would be suspended indefinitely through the remainder of the spring 2020 term. Moreover, the university announced that it would be "facilitating a scheduled and orderly process for students to move out of the residence halls."
While the spread of the 2019 novel coronavirus is ultimately out of the control of the university, it is completely unreasonable for the student body to pay the full cost of tuition and, if applicable, housing.
Because the last date of in-person instruction was March 6th, 2020, and because many students will be completing programs online that are not officially offered as online programs by the University, the students of The Ohio State University hereby request the University to refund all students the difference between the costs of in-person instruction and online instruction. Furthermore, because students residing in University dormitories will not be permitted to reside in those dormitories for the entirety of the semester, the students of The Ohio State University hereby request the University to refund those students who paid the full cost of university housing for the spring 2020 term.
It is ultimately not the responsibility of Ohio State students, many of which are currently full-time students and thus are considered low-income earners, to bear the cost of the impact of the coronavirus on academic resources. The Ohio State University reported a 2018 yearly revenue of over $7 billion and is thus better equipped to bear the financial burden than us students.
As of publication, the petition has more than 17,000 signatures.
Other students commented on the petition, reinstating their approval of the refunds.
One person commented on the petition, saying, "I feel that at the minimum, housing and dining plans should be refunded."
[RELATED: Colleges nationwide respond to coronavirus by canceling in-person classes]
Another person wrote, "I come from a financially struggling family who go through a lot to aid me and my educational needs. If I am being stripped of my resources, then I need my money reimbursed. Thank you."
Campus Reform reached out to Kacherski, the creator of the petition, but did not hear back in time for publication.
