text: Opportunity or Exploitation? The Bracero Program "We came to work. We didn't come to take anything from anyone." -Isaías Sánchez, ex-bracero Overview: The Bracero program (1942 through 1964) allowed Mexican nationals to take temporary agricultural work in the United States. Over the program's 22-year life, more than 4.5 million Mexican nationals were legally contracted for work in the United States (some individuals returned several times on different contracts). Mexican peasants, desperate for cash, were willing to take jobs at wages scorned by most Americans. The Braceros' presence had a significant effect on the business of farming and the culture of the United States. The Bracero program fed the circular migration patterns of Mexicans into the U.S. The Bracero Program came into existence in 1942. Growers argued that labor shortages in the United States resulting from World War II required the recruitment of Mexican nationals. Mexico saw the program as a contribution to the war effort. Although the program began as a temporary war measure, it became a fixture of agricultural work landscape until it was finally terminated in 1964. Over the course of its lifetime, the Bracero Program became the largest and most significant U.S. labor guest worker program of the 20th century. In all, over 4.5 million contracts were awarded through the 22 years of the program. Despite the well-intentioned contracts, the program did not escape controversy. The widespread abuses of many of the contracts protective provisions and the violation of the legal rights and civil liberties of the braceros did not go unnoticed. While others describe the program as an opportunity for Mexican nationals to make a living and improve the conditions of their families. Regardless of one's opinion of the program, it had a profound effect on Mexican American settlement patterns in the U.S. and numerous Latino families have ancestors who were involved in the Bracero Program. What is a Bracero? "Generally speaking, the Latin American migratory worker going into west Texas is regarded as a necessary evil, nothing more nor less than an unavoidable adjunct to the harvest season. Judging by the treatment that has been accorded him in that section of the state, one might assume that he is not a human being at all, but a species of farm implement that comes mysteriously and spontaneously into being coincident with the maturing of the cotton, that requires no upkeep or special consideration during the period of its usefulness, needs no protection from the elements, and when the crop has been harvested, vanishes into the limbo of forgotten things -until the next harvest season rolls around." 'He has no past, no future, only a brief and anonymous present.' Prospective Braceros Rural peasants walked long distances to collection points to sign up for Bracero contracts "As the men line up initially to be put on the list at the Control Station in Monterrey Mexico, they are kept in lines by Mexican policemen. The rubber truncheon he has in is hand is used only 'playfully' on the men, and many of them laugh at it. The groups behind the barbed wire enclosure are waiting to be called up the present their credentials." The photograph shows teams of immigration and USES (United States Employment Service) personnel processing braceros at a control stations in Mexico once approved for work in the United States. To be eligible for farm work in the United States, the bracero had to have a farm background. The photograph below shows how upon arrival to the United States, braceros were taken to processing centers where they were searched for vegetables, weapons, marijuana or similar contraband and sprayed with DDT by Department of Agriculture personnel. "Much in the same manner and feeling used in handling livestock, upon crossing over the bridge from Mexico at Hidalgo, Texas, the men are herded into groups of 100 through a makeshift booth sprayed with DDT." Bracero identification card (below) The photograph shows housing provided by contractors for braceros. Such housing included hastily converted barns, tents, and other over crowded facilities. "This is housing provided by a Texan farmer for 200 braceros in this long building, with the beds made out of stretched canvas, upper and lower. Such close living conditions make for high incidences of respiratory illnesses among the braceros." Farms and Railroads On farms, braceros worked cotton, citrus, dates, and such backbreaking stoop-labor crops as sugar beets, lettuce, and strawberries. Early in the program, they also maintained railroad tracks. Over time, braceros were sent to California, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Arkansas, and 29 other states. Contracts ranged from a few weeks to 18 months. Camps ranged in size from just a few braceros to a thousand. The photographs show braceros working the fields, where they would stay from sunrise to sunset. Thousands of braceros were brought in to perform stoop labor, a task that causes back injuries resulting from the constant strain of bending over all day. Medical clinics reported backache as the most common ailment among the braceros. Since no machine has been able to replace stoop labor, it continues today. Labor and Strife Concerns about labor issues plagued the bracero program from the start. With an eye on reducing costs and improving profits, growers saw the bracero program as a source of cheap labor. American farm workers worried that braceros would compete for their jobs and lower their wages. Many union leaders were alarmed about the use of foreign workers and how that would affect their ability to organize farm labor. "You didn't straighten up until you reached the other side of the field." -Paulino Martínez, ex-bracero Labor Official in Mexico, handing out the contracts "Habido mucha pobreza en Mexico...yo era pobre de dinero, pobre de que comer pero rico en salud." "There was a lot of poverty in Mexico...I was money-poor, food-poor, but rich in health." -Ignacio Gomez, ex-bracero The Farm Braceros has little control over what would happen once they signed a contract. They could be sent to farms thousands of miles away with unfamiliar climates and cultures. They had to rely on the growers to provide housing, food, and medical care. Only occasionally would visiting Mexican consuls be available to help with contract or health issues. The new life braceros encountered was dramatically different from their home villages. "Yo creo que vamos a ver otro mundo. Pues era a veces hasta peor que mi rancho." "I thought we were going to see a different world. Well, sometimes it was even worse than my farm." -Santurnino González Díaz, ex-bracero "Well, on the one hand it was beneficial, and on the other hand, the family suffered just as much as you did." -Pedro del Real Pérez, ex-bracero Family The bracero program brought both economic opportunity and unexpected hardship to Mexican families. Mexico's government hoped that workers would bring much-needed cash into their economy. Some men did earn enough money to build houses, buy land, or start businesses in Mexico. Meanwhile, families left behind while men were away had to find ways to get by without fathers, brothers, and husbands. "When the U.S. needed it most, we came to serve the United States. When the U.S. needed it most, I was here…" -José Ramírez Delgado, ex-bracero In the United States The bracero program affected communities across the United States. Some towns held dances, church services in Spanish, and other social and business events for the braceros. Many braceros never returned to Mexico. Some of them developed personal relationships, married local women, and started new families in the United States. Other towns discriminated against the braceros, barring them from restaurants and movie theaters. Even some local Mexican Americans were wary of the new workers. "Yeah, in the fields they would sing. . . . Thirty, forty, or fifty . . . . No, life was hard, very hard, and beautiful." -Ismael Díaz de León, ex-bracero On The Farm Braceros' experiences differed depending on where they lived and worked. On isolated farms far from towns, the men were often forced to be self-sufficient — cooking, cutting hair, doing laundry, and sharing domestic chores. Larger camps often provided food and some sort of entertainment. No matter where they were, braceros created an informal network that helped each other deal with camp life. "Over here your life changed because you earned more money, you could buy more things that you wanted, buy clothes, eat better. For me it was a positive experience. Maybe some would say not." -Audómaro G. Zepeda, ex-bracero Beyond Borders As popular culture, business, and labor have brought U.S. influence to every corner of Mexico, so have Mexican labor, culture, and religious practices influenced the U.S. Although bracero workers were supposed to return to Mexico at the end of their contracts, not all did. Many who returned to Mexico later emigrated to the U.S., aided by the experience and knowledge they had gained as braceros. Today, numerous families and communities can trace their histories to the bracero program. "Well, the term bracero . . . it is a word of distinction, for me it is a word of great pride. I would like that word to go down in history." -Juan Loza, ex-bracero Legacy The bracero experience was one of exploitation but also of opportunity. The program had a direct impact on immigration and labor policy and, more importantly, on the formation of thriving Mexican American communities here in the U.S. With its legacy of struggle and success, the story of the bracero program was truly bittersweet

Arabian Ranches
What's the area like?
The Hollywood Hills of Dubai. Most villas are large and expensive, although there are some smaller and more affordable ones speckled about.
Arabian Ranches has everything you need: man-made lakes, a golf course, and an impressive polo club in keeping with the developments' equestrian theme. There's also a medi clinic, schooling and a dental practice, as well as shops – Le Marche caters for most needs. There's even a pet store to complete that settled, suburban feel.
Best for
Families and professional couples.
Unlike many newer developments, it's nearly finished. Amenities are in place and the roads to and from the development are also mostly complete, so it only takes 20 minutes to get to the rest of the city and it's a straightforward journey to the capital.
As is the way with quite a few Dubai developments, many of the houses still have a repetitive sameness to them, giving a feeling of being trapped in The Truman Show. It could also start to look a bit dated once other, newer, developments are completed. A previous selling point for those with kids was Dubailand theme park being on their doorstep, but, unfortunately this has been postponed (although this could be seen as a pro point by those without sprogs).
Average cost of a three-bed villa in Arabian Ranches: To rent Dhs150-300,00 To buy Dhs3.3million.

One of America's most heralded young divers, David Boudia twice went for Olympic gold, training obsessively and whole-heartedly for success. In his first Olympics, he failed miserably, not winning a single medal. Four years later saw a different story: he mounted the podium twice, winning both gold and bronze. The difference? In the intervening years, he'd changed the focus of his quest from seeking glory for himself to giving glory to God. In Greater Than Gold, Boudia provides a behind-the-scenes access to the rarefied world of world-class athletics while also showing readers that when they place their hope in God, they receive what they've been seeking all along.

Overall Rating
Greater Than Gold tells the story not only of his Olympic journey, but of how he changed his life completely.
There are actually two parts to this book. One part, as expected, covers his journey from a young boy to a world-class Olympic athlete. The other part discusses how he changed his life–by finding God.
This book is an aspiring look at one man, who to the rest of the world, seems to have everything, yet struggled deeply for happiness and fulfillment. In 2009 he found God, and though he has had his struggles since then, his life is much more fulfilling now. (Posted on 9/30/2016)
- Review by Jordan Wootten
Overall Rating
Greater Than Gold by David Boudia was a refreshing book to read. In fact, I sat down today and read the entire book from cover to cover. I'm always amazed to hear the stories of people who have been confronted by the life-changing message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and David's account provides a compelling example of the transforming power of Jesus Christ.
David spends his time in this book recounting the major moments of his life, both good and bad. One of the things that I appreciated so much about this book is how candid he was in sharing the frequency and depth of his struggle, both before his encounter with Jesus and after. He provided a really accurate picture of the ongoing struggle of sanctification that all Christians inevitably face as we continue on in life. I think, as well, that the book will be of great benefit to a wide audience because most, if not all, of what David shares many people can relate to. Whether it's the American Dream, or the facade of self-sufficiency, or the pursuit of pleasure, most of us battle these things everyday. One final thing, in particular, that I was struck by was how pivotal David's college coach and his wife were to David coming to faith. What a beautiful testimony, and how typical of the Lord to advance the message of the Gospel through its verbal proclamation: "Faith comes by hearing and hearing through the Word of Christ."
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was written well, it's a compelling story, and it's a beautiful testimony of the faithfulness of the Lord in salvation and sanctification. On top of those things, I believe that many people will benefit a great deal by reading this book. I can't commend it highly enough. (Posted on 9/17/2016)

Earlier today, the British Medical Journal published an update on a study of more than 350,000 people that investigated whether there's a link between cellphones and cancer. The conclusion?
In this update of a large nationwide cohort study of mobile phone use, there were no increased risks of tumours of the central nervous system, providing little evidence for a causal association.
That's how many news outlets played the story. The headline on Tara Parker-Pope's blog post for New York Times, for instance, reads "No Cellphone-Cancer Link in Large Study."
ABC News's website took a slightly different approach. "A new study casts doubt on the possible link between cell phones and brain cancer," its piece began, "but experts say the risk can't be ruled out."
That, my friends, is how you scare-monger. The "risk" of a cellphone-cancer link will never be "ruled out" — because it's impossible to prove a negative.
Here's ABC's effort to justify their portentous lead (emphasis added): "One exception [to the many studies showing no correlation] is a 2010 study that found a slight, statistically insignificant increase in risk in a rare form of brain cancer called glioma among cell phone users."

We used Sequoia Landscaping for a little over a year, but due to philosophical differences with the owner, Dick, we finally had to part ways. We used their lawnmowing services weekly, and also had Dick attempt to upgrade our sprinkler system.
(1) lawnmowing: Dick has workers do the weekly work. They use mowers, and do trimming. When the work is done, it appears neat and well done.
(2) sprinkler system: Dick did the work himself, and was very confident that when he tested it, it worked "just fine." but when he demonstrated it to me, it didn't work: weak pressure in several of the heads....

Hugo hails 'very good performance'
09 April 2014|Tottenham Hotspur
Hugo Lloris was glad that we were able to make a quick recovery after conceding first against Sunderland.
Lee Cattermole seized on a wayward sideways pass and planted the ball home from 25 yards to give the Black Cats an early lead at the Lane on Monday.
But we were swiftly back on level terms through the returning Emmanuel Adebayor – and by the time the second half was over we'd notched another four goals to complete a 5-1 triumph.
Goalkeeper Hugo was buoyed by our comeback and insisted it was important to win the game in style in the wake of last week's disappointing result.
"We had to bounce back after the bad defeat against Liverpool," Hugo said. "We had to show respect and pride in front of our fans and so it was important for us to win.
"I think we put on a very good performance. Again we conceded a goal from an individual mistake but we didn't give up, we still played, and we showed great effort to come back and win the game."
In addition to the front pairing of Adebayor and Harry Kane hitting the target, Monday again saw us register goals from midfield through Christian Eriksen and Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Hugo was delighted to see our firepower emanating from a variety of sources, but he insisted we must show similar standards in front of goal for the remainder of the campaign.
"After the second goal we controlled the game and we continued to go forward and create opportunities to score," he added.
"When you win 5-1 it's always good for the confidence for our strikers and our midfielders but we have to keep working, keep our heads high and continue in the same way. We now have five games left and we have ambitions to continue in that way."

From Japan:
My daughter was admitted to the hospital on the May 10, 2004 with the blood sugar at around 30 mmol/L [540 mg/dl] and her A1c was 10.9. From May 10 to May 29, she took insulin, but then stopped using it. Her normal blood sugars now range from 2.9 to 3.3 mmol/L [52 to 59 mg/dl]. Is this her honeymoon period?
It's very odd to have such a quick movement into a honeymoon from a very high initial blood glucose reading and hemoglobin A1c reading. However, each child is different. It is also strange to have such low fasting blood glucose levels without any insulin. So, I would stay in close contact with your diabetes team, and most importantly, do a lot of blood glucose readings since a child this young cannot often tell you what is happening to them. If you still have questions, then call the nurse or doctors with whom you are working so that they can give you specific advice since they know your child the best and can understand what is happening in relation to their own lab studies as well as the frequent blood glucose testing.

The Office of Financial Research's latest annual report highlights a number of improvements in its measurement of systemic risk but stops well short of providing a forward-looking assessment of emerging risks.
The rollout of the office's Financial Stability Monitor provides a glimpse of how this tool will one day be valuable to the Financial Stability Oversight Council in mitigating potential sources of systemic risk. The office should be commended for its efforts in identifying a number of potential threats to the financial system. However, much work remains before decision makers at the council can use this information to ward off another crisis.
The Financial Stability Monitor prototype provides a current-year snapshot of the health of the financial sector along five key areas: macroeconomic; market; credit; funding and liquidity; and contagion risk. It's a tall order for any agency to distill the complexity of the financial sector, participants, products and interrelationships into a simple one-page assessment. The OFR takes a bold step to quantify these risks using state-of-the-art metrics and models.
Applying a color-coded heat map approach similar in concept to Homeland Security terrorist threat levels, the results for 2013 suggest overall risk to the financial sector has not changed much from 2012 and is what would be viewed as moderate risk on OFR's scale. To the agency's credit, it acknowledges that the framework is not forward-looking and needs to better incorporate qualitative aspects of market sentiment and risk appetite than it does. It is absolutely necessary that quantitative measures of systemic risks be developed and deployed in such assessments.
At the same time there tends to be an overreliance on methods that may not perform well before and during stress events due to data and analytical limitations. This is where informed judgment, gathered via an annual survey of industry experts and practitioners drawn from all corners of the financial sector, can augment quantitative results and provider a richer representation of risk. This could be of particular use to OFR in building a forward-looking assessment of the emerging risks that it flags.
Despite the tangible progress in sizing up threats to the financial system, there appear to be some gaps between what the agency believes are emerging threats and what is portrayed in the Financial Stability Monitor. The good news is the agency has undertaken a considerable effort to call out a number of risks that could potentially affect markets, such as: cyberattacks; the astonishing growth of short-term borrowing by mortgage real estate investment trusts and by the U.S. offices of foreign banks; and the buildup of interest rate risk exposures across the system, among others. Just how important these threats are over the next year or more is left unanswered by OFR. Therein lies a problem requiring the office's immediate attention.
For cybersecurity threats, for instance, the risk assessment largely is confined to isolated distributed denial of service attacks. Threats looming from more coordinated efforts to bring down a financial exchange or other market utility are not mentioned other than as potential technological disruptions as represented by the Flash Crash of 2010. It would seem further efforts to detect the potential for such threats to do greater systemic damage than DDoS scenarios on individual banks are called for in OFR's assessment protocols from now on.
The risk from REITs was highlighted by OFR, noted in part by the concentration risk in the industry from two companies holding two-thirds of the assets in the sector. Moreover, REITs account for nearly one-quarter of all repurchase agreement and Fed Funds liabilities, compared to less than 10% in 2010. In the spirit of "no good deed ever goes unpunished," now that OFR has rightfully called out this potential risk, clearly FSOC should take this issue up in its activities to mitigate risk holistically across the nonbank sector and require OFR to redouble its efforts on assessing this risk.
Another area of concern on OFR's radar is interest rate risk, which appears poised to only get worse over the next 12 months. This year we saw how investor uncertainty over Fed policy can lead to significant losses in bond portfolios. The OFR estimates that a 1% increase in interest rates could lead to a $200 billion loss in bond portfolios given the extension of bond portfolio durations over time. But what efforts are being taken by FSOC to rein in this risk before it becomes a major event?
Overall the OFR's Annual Report underscores major advancements in the detection and measurement of potential threats to the stability of the financial system. To the office's credit, it understands some of the limitations of the latest monitoring tools. Holding them back from making even more progress are a slew of data issues that must be addressed for these efforts to be anything more than interesting analysis.

BLH Lüftungstechnik in Germany acquired
SIG plc, the leading European specialist solutions provider to the construction industry,announces that it has acquired BLH - Bauelemente für Lüftungstechnik Hennen GmbH.
This acquisition supports our strategy to move up the value chain and provide a 'one stop shop' offering to our installer customers that includes consultation, design, fabrication and assembly, testing and after-sales services.
This acquisition provides SIG Air Handling with initial market entry into Germany, complementing our acquisition of Profant in Austria at the beginning of the year. Furthermore, BLH will help deliver strong synergies across our Air Handling businesses in Benelux and France, along with high potential for SIG Germany.
The existing management team of BLH will remain with the business to deliver the continued growth and development of the company.
Oliver Hennen, Managing Director of BLH:
"When my father founded the company in 1999 I was still in school and worked in production during holidays and Saturdays. While we were growing in the past 17 years a lot of things changed. But the keys to our success still remain the same: lean structures and small overhead, focus on product quality and putting a lot of heart and soul into the company. I'm really looking forward to the new opportunities and synergies that will open up with our integration into SIG Air Handling."

An unseasonably warm December Friday night brought a big crowd to the tasting room of Wiseacre Brewing, just off Broad Avenue near Scott Street. It was a boisterous bunch, not rowdy, but not exactly sedate, either. The happy gathering was certainly doing more than "tasting." Everyone was drinking. Everyone was drinking beer. Everyone was drinking Wiseacre beer.
Bartenders poured the brewery's liquid products from a row of bright-colored tap handles set back along a wall of the airy, wood-paneled taproom. Each tap corresponded to one of a rainbow of different beer styles that flowed from them. Wiseacre's year-round beers — their light Tiny Bomb American pilsner, their bitter Ananda India Pale Ale — were there, of course. But the other taps poured seasonal beers: a dark-colored coffee milk stout, a different and super-bitter India Pale Ale, and an American brown ale.
The huge room's bay doors were wide open, allowing the party to spill out onto the brewery's big back patio. In the gravel parking lot below, Central BBQ was serving up wings and sandwiches from its tie-dyed food truck. The sounds of dozens of conversations and clinking pint glasses were carried on a gentle cloud of classic rock above it all. The scene was only halted, or maybe just briefly punctuated, by the piercing blast of a freight train passing on tracks alongside Scott Street, less than 100 yards away.
Just another weekend night at the Broad Avenue brewery. But hard as it is to believe, this is a drinking experience that didn't exist in Memphis just one year ago. 2013 will be remembered as a major turning point for craft beer in Memphis. Three independent breweries and two growler shops have opened here over the past year. Locally made beer has begun to pour from tap handles in bars and restaurants all over town.
"Those of us in Memphis who are craft beer fans have looked enviously upon Nashville and St. Louis for some time now, and all of a sudden that's happening here," says Michael Erskine, an award-winning beer brewer and beer blogger for the Memphis website fuzzybrew.com. "We went from one brew pub in Boscos and one production brewery in Ghost River to three more in the past year."
It's December, and Erskine is standing in line to get a growler filled on the opening day of the Madison Growler Shop on Madison in Midtown. With its long bar and neon signs, the 30-tap growler shop looks like a pub that's been built right inside the Cash Saver grocery store at Madison and Avalon. On this opening day, curious shoppers stop, stare, and some ask questions. But a large part of the crowd, mostly white men in their 20s or 30s, line up and know exactly what to do.
Chances are that these guys have been to real beer towns before. Craft beer is, indeed, enjoying high times right now, but the industry has been a staple in cities like San Diego, Portland, and Asheville for well over two decades; the last-named city (population 87,512) now has 11 independent brewing establishments. The craft-beer wave has been sweeping across the country, and shows no signs of letting up.
About 2,400 operating breweries were registered as businesses in America in 2012. That's the highest number the country has seen since the 1880s, according to The Brewers Association (brewersassociation.org), the umbrella trade group in the country for breweries and homebrewers. Craft-beer sales totaled $11.9 billion in 2012, up 15 percent over 2011. Those figures represent about 10 percent of overall beer sales. Still, with more than 400 microbreweries and/or brewpubs opening that year, the 2013 craft-beer figures will likely show a significant increase.

Without a doubt, Boscos blazed the trail for the modern craft beer scene in Memphis. Founded by Jerry Feinstone and Chuck Skypeck, this locally owned brewpub opened its first location in Saddle Creek Shopping Center in 1992, moving it to Overton Square in 2002. Nine years later, in 2011, Skypeck and Feinstone opened Ghost River Brewing downtown off South Main, and the brewery's flagship Golden Ale and Glacial Pale Ale began flowing to Memphis bars and restaurants, and then into bottles that could be found in stores all over town.
But craft-beer culture in Memphis is still in the very early stages. Fresh questions arise daily at The Growler, a 24-tap bar and growler shop in Cooper-Young. David Smith, co-owner of The Growler, says he's always happy to initiate new customers with a quick "30-second spiel" on how the whole process works. Much of the time that conversation begins at the beginning: What exactly is a growler, anyway?
Basically, it's a jug of beer. Growlers are typically stumpy, small-handled, glass vessels that look like the moonshine jugs seen in cartoons or Ozark gift shops. They usually hold 64 ounces, or four pints. Growler shops will sell the jugs to customers, with a separate charge to fill it with beer, of course. Bring the jug back to the shop and you'll only be charged for the beer.
Beer education will continue in Memphis as the industry becomes better established here, Smith says. Craft breweries make beer in small batches. This means they have the flexibility to change quickly the styles of beer they make. Brewmasters usually time new offerings with the changing seasons. Lighter beers usually come out in the spring and summer, for example, and darker, richer beers are more likely to be seen in the fall and winter.
"It's changing constantly and you can always test your palate with something new," says Smith from behind the bar at The Growler. "It's exciting and it keeps people in tune with what's going on the beer world."
Consumer tastes are already changing in Memphis. Alan Creasy, a bartender at Celtic Crossing for eight years, says he sees new patterns every month. When Ghost River first came around, for example, patrons asked for it by name, passing up international powerhouses like Guinness, Smithwicks, Harp, and more.
Now those patrons are better-educated. "If we had had five Ghost River beers on tap in the past, we could have handed any one of them [to the customer], said it was brewed in the 901 area code, and they would have been happy with it," Creasy says. "Now, customers are much more discerning about the beer they drink."
Patrons will now ask which particular Ghost River, which particular Wiseacre, which Memphis Made, or which High Cotton beer is on tap, and which of those beers are seasonal, Creasy says. And this demand for craft beer now has reached mainstream Memphis establishments. Even Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous, the iconic Memphis rib institution that prides itself on tradition, now serves Ghost River and Wiseacre beers.

Back at the Wiseacre brewery off Broad Avenue — this time on a weekday morning — the tasting room is dim and all is quiet; no music plays overhead. Brothers and brewery owners Kellan and Davin Bartosch are getting ready for a day of brewing beer, Kellan with a travel mug of coffee in his hand, and Davin in rubber boots.
The Wiseacre brewery has been a dream for the brothers for years. Raised in Memphis, Davin and Kellan went separate ways geographically and professionally.
Davin studied brewing in Chicago and Munich, was the brewmaster for Chicago's Rock Bottom brewery and restaurant, and racked up tons of brewing awards at the Great American Beer Festival, World Beer Cup, and more. Kellan went west and studied the beer business, working for a beer distributor, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., and became a certified cicerone, the beer equivalent of a wine sommelier.
The two had a handshake agreement that they would open a brewery one day. They made good on their gentlemen's agreement last year when they brought their collective beer and business knowledge back home to Memphis. They opened Wiseacre Brewing on Labor Day weekend 2013.
"A lot of [craft beer's surge] just comes from the fact that people want to drink something that's made closer to their house," Kellan Bartosch says. "They want to drink something that's fresh."
Civic pride has certainly underpinned the rise of craft beer. It's that same pride that has fueled a new respect for local music, art, and food. People want to see something of themselves in the cultural experiences they have. Local creativity comes from places we're familiar with, like Midtown, Downtown Memphis, or the source of the Wolf River up near Moscow, Tennessee.
These are real places, not the proverbial "mountains" or "the Colorado Rockies" where national beers like Busch and Coors are purportedly made. (The latter brand is now part of the international Molson Coors Brewing Company, and joint ventures in the U.S. with Miller.) So, when folks from Memphis — people we may even know — make beer in a building down the street, we consider their product a bit differently. And we want to taste it.
Kellan Bartosch agrees that Memphis drinkers are still figuring out much about the craft-beer scene. But they are learning and want to learn, he says. Drinking through the immense and ancient beer family tree to seek out what you like can be daunting and take time — with hundreds of varieties of ales, porters, stouts, barleywines, browns, saisons, and more to be tasted and explored.
Still, Bartosch insists that there are only two important things people need to know about his craft. "Beer is fun, and it's for everyone," he concludes.

Acupuncture Gives Hope For PTSD, Surgery & People In Battle
With acupuncture having roots in Chinese medicine going back over thousands of years, it seems silly to choose such a title for this article. However, in the twenty-first century it appears that the United States is only beginning to consider the many benefits that acupuncture has to offer. All too often, the mainstream view of acupuncture is that of a complementary treatment – one which holds an inferior position to chemical drugs and pharmaceutical treatments. Yet most licensed acupuncturists can attest to the fact that their craft is key to maintaining and improving health. Among the many health challenges facing Western medicine, post-traumatic stress disorder (P.T.S.D.) and chronic pain stick out as sad reminders of our failing medical system. Chronic pain is the number one cause of adult disability in the United States, affecting an estimated 100 million people. This statistic is dwarfed by the recent report of 22 suicides per day among veterans and active duty soldiers. The options are out there waiting to be utilized. We can do better.
PTSD & Sleep
Battlefield Acupuncture
Conscious Surgery
Ever had the urge to stay awake during a major surgery? In the future, some hospitals may offer that option. Using acupuncture before, during, and after surgery has been commonplace and proven outside of the United States for some time. It wasn't until recently that acupuncturist Ramon Nunez started making headlines when he applied the technique to a patient who, in the name of science, chose to brave a major knee surgery fully awake and not medicated. Although soldiers rarely find themselves in perfectly controlled environments like the video below shows, there appears to be much hope for the future of acute pain management without harmful and addictive medications. Do you think acupuncture could be part of the new paradigm leading us away from pharmaceutical medications?

Natural Law (Part 3): Moving Beyond Enslavement
In Brief
- The Facts:
Our capacity to escape the enslavement and control we experience at the hands of our authority today is predicated on work on a personal level to become truly sovereign individuals.
- Reflect On:
How would our lives be different if we all knew and acted like we were sovereign individuals, answerable to no one? What kind of world would we create?
(note: if you haven't read them already, I highly recommend reading the previous articles Natural Law (Part 1): A Reformed Satanist Illuminates Our Natural Power To Create and Natural Law (Part 2): Spending Our Spiritual Currency Wisely as an essential context for this discussion, as well as the video on Natural Law by Mark Passio referred to in this article.)
So far, our discussion has revolved around the capacity of human beings to create, in adherence with the principles that govern Natural Law. This capacity, when taken in the aggregate, makes us collectively responsible for the world that has been made manifest today. And looking at the world today, it is pretty safe to say that we have been party to our own enslavement, and on a collective level we still continue to sit idly by while our rights and freedoms are increasingly taken away.
This, perhaps above anything, is the reason that Mark Passio did his Natural Law seminar, to alert us to the fact that we have the power to create the world of freedom and harmony that we all say we want, but we still seem to lack the knowledge and the will to do it. By offering the knowledge behind it, Mark hopes that a proper understanding begins to proliferate among us and our will to change our world is sufficiently stoked.
The capacity to change things in our world requires adequate knowledge. We must learn how this process works, and then incorporate this knowledge in how we function internally (i.e. 'Change starts within'). It is only when we first come to grips with the nature of our personal sovereignty that we are then capable of creating a world in which we are free.
We Are All Sovereign
Passio notes that Natural Law is expressed in human beings in either positive or negative ways. To express it positively, in other words, to create the experience for ourselves that we want, we need to be motivated by Love, grounded in Knowledge, and feel that we have Sovereignty. However, Natural Law is expressed negatively, and hence creates what we don't want, when the generative emotion is Fear, our foundation is Ignorance, and our internal sense of self is Confusion.
Most people in our current world don't consider themselves to be sovereign. In fact, in a survey Passio quotes, he said that only 11% of people questioned thought they were sovereign. Hence Passio makes his next point as emphatically as he can:
Why I say every single person here is a sovereign is because there is no such thing, never has been any such thing, and never will be any such thing as legitimacy to slavery. That has never existed, does not exist now, and never will exist. Slavery is an illegitimate concept. None of us are slaves.
The condition of slavery has been imposed upon people, but it has never in history been legitimate. And it never will in history be legitimate. So there is no legitimacy to the concept of slavery, of the rightful rulership of another being, through directly imposing your control through coercion. Doesn't exist. That's a big part of what Natural Law is about.
The reason this point is so important is that most of us have been brainwashed since we were young to believe that we need authority in our lives. Most of us still believe that we need a government to rule us by coercion. Many of us fear that otherwise we would be living in a state of–peril of all perils–anarchy!
But a state of 'anarchy', according to Passio, is exactly what sovereign beings should be striving for, because anarchy simply means, no ruler to which we have to bow down to, no master for whom we are the slaves. From its etymology, a state of anarchy does not mean chaos, confusion, or disorder. It simply means there's nobody around to tell us what to do, that we are all able to act freely and without coercion–that we are individually sovereign.
However, this condition does not come about just by knowing we are sovereign by nature. Individuals of a given group or society have to fully embody the qualities of a sovereign individual in order for a society to be able to function in a state of anarchy, or even bring about the removal of all rulership in the first place. For Passio, our work is the development of personal integrity, in which all aspects of our being are in harmony with one another.
The Alignment of Thoughts, Emotions, And Actions
The way Passio terms it, our path to true sovereignty is by becoming our own 'monarchs.'
A Sovereign is a Monarch (mon-: "one"; archon: "ruler"), a single ruler who only rules 'the Kingdom of Self'; Sovereignty is a state in which one controls one's own thoughts, emotions, and actions, and by bringing them into Unity/Non-Contradiction/Non-Duality, attains Mastery of one's own Consciousness.
Bringing one's thoughts, emotions, and actions into a state of unity–where have we heard this before? Of course, this corresponds to the Law of Attraction, our capacity to bring into being our desired manifestations based on our intentions–the power to create the world we want, essentially.
And so, it turns out, the way we get freed from slavery is not through violent revolution, as some would say our history books have taught us. Remember, our history book are written by our masters, and they are more than happy that we feel that we are free while they implement ever more insidious and subtle forms of slavery. It is well-known by our authority, and something we will discuss in subsequent articles, that slaves who do not know they are slaves are much more productive, and much less force and coercion is required for their obedience.
And that is why our personal internal work is paramount. The more we have self-rule as individuals, the more we can overcome the dictates of illegitimate authority as a collective. We can literally walk away from it, remove any power it has over us. As Passio notes, 'If you have internal monarchy, you can have external anarchy.'
Our emancipation from slavery thus awaits the process by which individuals in our society develop self-responsibility, self-control, self-mastery. We will continue this series by discussing some of the people whose current lives are harbingers of personal sovereignty in adherence to Natural Law.

Natural Measles Immunity — Better Protection & More Long-Term Benefits Than Vaccines
In Brief
- The Facts:
Natural immunity compared to the immunity provided by vaccines is extremely different. Public health authorities have made a case for measles eradication since the early 1980s, 50+ years of mass measles vaccination have stopped nothing.
- Reflect On:
Why do pharmaceutical companies continue to make false claims about vaccines, using mass marketing? Why are they allowed to? And why does everyone believe them?
Stories about vaccines in the popular press tend to be unabashedly one-sided, generally portraying vaccination as a universal (and essential) "good" with virtually no downside. This unscientific bias is particularly apparent in news reports about measles, which often are little more than hysterical diatribes against the unvaccinated.
Although public health authorities have made a case for measles eradication since the early 1980s, 50-plus years of mass measles vaccination and high levels of vaccine coverage have not managed to stop wild and vaccine-strain measles virus from circulating. Routine measles vaccination also has had some worrisome consequences. Perhaps the most significant of these is the shifting of measles risks to age groups formerly protected by natural immunity. Specifically, modern-day occurrences of measles have come to display a "bimodal" pattern in which "the two most affected populations are infants aged less than 1 year and adults older than 20 years"—the very population groups in whom measles complications can be the most clinically severe. As one group of researchers has stated, "The common knowledge indicating that measles [as well as mumps and rubella] are considered as benign diseases dates back to the pre-vaccine area and is not valid anymore."
A little history
Before the introduction of measles vaccines in the 1960s, nearly all children contracted measles before adolescence, and parents and physicians accepted measles as a "more or less inevitablepart of childhood." In industrialized countries, measles morbidity and mortality already were low and declining, and many experts questioned whether a vaccine was even needed or would be used.
Measles outbreaks in the pre-vaccine era also exhibited "variable lethality"; in specific populations living in close quarters (such as military recruits and residents of crowded refugee camps), measles mortality could be high, but even so, "mortality rates differed more than 10-fold across camps/districts, even though conditions were similar." For decades both prior to and following the introduction of measles vaccination, those working in public health understood that poor nutrition and compromised health status were key contributors to measles-related mortality, with measles deaths occurring primarily "in individuals below established height and weight norms." A study of measles mortality in war-torn Bangladesh in the 1970s found that most of the children who died were born either in the two years preceding or during a major famine.
Moms who get measles vaccines instead of experiencing the actual illness have less immunity to offer their babies, resulting in a 'susceptibility gap'…
Measles vaccination and infants
Before the initiation of mass vaccination programs for measles, mothers who had measles as children protected their infants through the transfer of maternal antibodies. However, naturally acquired immunity and vaccine-induced immunity are qualitatively different. Moms who get measles vaccines instead of experiencing the actual illness have less immunity to offer their babies, resulting in a "susceptibility gap" between early infancy and the first ostensibly protective measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine at 12 to 15 months of age.
A Luxembourg-based study published in 2000 confirmed the susceptibility gap in an interesting way. The researchers compared serum samples from European adolescents who had been vaccinated around 18 months of age to serum samples from Nigerian mothers who had not been vaccinated but had experienced natural measles infection at a young age. They then looked at the capacity of the antibodies detected in the serum to "neutralize" various wild-type measles virus strains. The researchers found that the sera from mothers with natural measles immunity substantially outperformed the sera from the vaccinated teens: only two of 20 strains of virus "resisted neutralization" in the Nigerian mothers' group, but 10 of 20 viral strains resisted neutralization in the vaccination group. This complex analysis led the authors to posit greater measles vulnerability in infants born to vaccinated mothers.
…many vaccines may eventually become susceptible to vaccine-modified measles…and consequently complicate measles control strategies
The Luxembourg researchers also noted that in the Nigerian setting, where widespread vaccination took hold far later than in Europe, the mothers in question had had "multiple contacts with endemic wild-type viruses" and that these repeat contacts had served an important booster function. One of the authors later conducted a study that examined this booster effect more closely. That study found that re-exposure to wild-type measles resulted in "a significantly prolonged antibody boost in comparison to [boosting through] revaccination." Taking note of expanding vaccine coverage around the world and reduced circulation of wild-type measles virus, the researchers concluded in a third study that "many vaccinees may eventually become susceptible to vaccine-modified measles…and consequently, complicate measles control strategies."
Bimodal distribution
With the disappearance of maternally endowed protection, what has happened to measles incidence in infants? A review of 53 European studies (2001–2011) focusing on the burden of measles in those "too young to be immunized" found that as many as 83% of measles cases in some studies and under 1% in other studies were in young infants.
At the same time, the predictions of an increased percentage of measles cases in older teens and adults have also come true. Reporting on a higher "death-to-case ratio" in the over-15 group in 1975 (not many years after widespread adoption of measles vaccination in the U.S.), a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) researcher wrote that the higher ratio could be "indicative of a greater risk of complications from measles, exposing the unprotected adult to the potential of substantial morbidity."
In recent measles outbreaks in Europe and the U.S., large proportions of cases are in individuals aged 15 or older:
- In the U.S., 57 of the 85 measles cases (67%) reported in 2016 were at least 15 years of age. U.S. researchers also have conservatively estimated that at least 9% of measles cases occur in vaccinated individuals.
- Among several thousand laboratory-confirmed cases of measles and an additional thousand "probable" or "possible" cases in Italy in 2017, 74% were in individuals at least 15 years of age, and 42% of those were hospitalized.
- Examining a smaller number of laboratory-confirmed measles cases in Sicily (N=223), researchers found that half of the cases were in adults age 19 or older, and clinical complications were more common in adults compared to children (45% versus 26%). Likewise, about 44% of measles cases in France from 2008 to 2011 (N=305) were in adults (with an average age in their mid-20s), and the adults were more than twice as likely to be hospitalized as infected children.
Time to reevaluate
Pre-vaccination, most residents of industrialized countries accepted measles as a normal and even trivial childhood experience. Many people, including clinicians, also understood the interaction between measles and nutrition, and, in particular, the links between vitamin A deficiency and measles: "Measles in a child is more likely to exacerbate any existing nutritional deficiency, and children who are already deficient in vitamin A are at much greater risk of dying from measles." Instead of inching the age of initial measles vaccination down to ever-younger ages, as is increasingly being proposed, there could be greater value in supporting children's nutrition and building overall health—through practical interventions that "improve[e]…existing dietaries through the inclusion of relatively inexpensive foods that are locally available and well within the reach of the poor."
Ironically, while acute childhood infections such as measles protect against cancer, the rise of chronic childhood illnesses (disproportionately observed in vaccinated children) is linked to elevated cancer risks.
There are many other tradeoffs of measles vaccination that remain largely unexplored, including the important role of fever-inducing infectious childhood diseases in reducing subsequent cancer risks. Ironically, while acute childhood infections such as measles protect against cancer, the rise of chronic childhood illnesses (disproportionately observed in vaccinated children) is linked to elevated cancer risks. These tradeoffs—along with the dangerous loss of infant access to protective maternal antibodies and the higher rates of measles illness and complications in older teens and adults—suggest that measles vaccination deserves renewed scrutiny.

Free David Wilcock Screening: Disclosure & The Fall of the Cabal
We interviewed David about what is happening within the cabal and disclosure. He shared some incredible insight that is insanely relevant to today.
So far, the response to this interview has been off the charts as people are calling it the most concise update of what's happening in our world today.Watch the interview here.
10 Things That Happen To Your Body When You Walk Everyday
In Brief
- The Facts:
There are multiple health benefits to be gained by taking a simple walk every day. These benefits are measurable, and if you don't already have an active lifestyle it can be a great way to assist you with your health.
- Reflect On:
Reflect on how the human race has become extremely sedentary, and how disease rates continue to climb as a result of the modern human lifestyle.
The human experience has become extremely sedentary, the average human lifestyle in the western world has been linked to multiple diseases and is one of the main causes of why disease rates continue to climb, among many other factors that surround all aspects of human life, like big food, for example. With technology in place and jobs that require tremendous amounts of sitting, there is no doubt that it's having a detrimental effect on our lives.
That being said, the world is clearly becoming way more health conscious. It's like we needed this experience of unhealthy food, the corporate take-over of everything, and our motionless lifestyle to knock us out of it. We are seeing a health revolution take place, where more and more people are becoming health conscious, and are always being encouraged to be more active.
Ultimately, we can't really blame the human experience for our lack of movement, it's something that all of us have the time to incorporate into our lives in one way or another, and if you're someone who doesn't enjoy being too active, a simple walk every day can have tremendous amounts of benefits. As pointed out in the video below, by Bright Side.
If You Want To Increase The Benefits Even More, Walk Barefoot
It's called grounding, or 'earthing' and it involves placing your feet directly on the ground, without shoes or socks as a barrier. Why? Because there is an intense negative charge carried by the Earth, it's electron-rich, which serves as a good supply of antioxidants and free radical destroying electrons.
A study published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health titled "Earthing: Health Implications of Reconnecting the Human Body to the Earth's Surface Electrons" postulates that earthing could represent a potential treatment for a variety of chronic degenerative diseases.
That's right, many positive health benefits occur as a result of walking barefoot, and these are measurable.
The picture below represents improved facial circulation (right image) after 20 minutes of grounding, as documented by a Speckle Contrast Laser Imager (dark blue=lowest circulation; dark red=highest circulation). Image Source: Scientific Research Publishing
If you want to read more publications and access the in-depth science with regards to grounding, you can refer to the article linked above the picture.

CBS News published an article on its website Wednesday afternoon with the misleading headline "Romney claims many Aurora weapons were illegal."This makes it sound as if Romney is keeping up with the news, since theguns used by shooter James Holmes were purchased legally. But a reviewof the comment in question shows that CBS's headline is misleading andinaccurate.
Romney appeared on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams Wednesday.During the interview Williams raised the issue of gun control in lightof the Aurora, Colorado shooting. Williams suggested "perhaps they [theAmerican people] want to start a conversation" on the issue. Romney responded by saying "Well this person shouldn't have had any kind of weapons and bombs andother devices and it was illegal for him to have many of those thingsalready."
Romney is saying two things here. One, that James Holmes shouldn'thave had weapons and bombs. That's a sentiment that everyone can agreewith, though in this case Romney doesn't specify a legal mechanism forkeeping weapons out of the hands of Holmes or anyone else withundiagnosed mental illness.
The second thing Romney is saying is that many of the items Homes hadin his possession were already illegal. The CBS News article backs thisup, albeit in a fairly circumspect way, saying "The bombs and other explosive devices set as booby traps in allegedshooter James Holmes' apartment appear not to have been legal." What an odd way to say Holmes' homemade bombs were illegal.
Getting back to that misleading headline, Romney never said JamesHolmes' weapons were illegal. He said "it was illegal for him to have many of those things."By leaving out the mention of "bombs and other devices" in theheadline, CBS makes it sound as if Romney isn't aware the guns used inthe shooting were purchased legally.
CBS News seems to be trying to bypass policy arguments about guncontrol and instead portray Romney's statement as a factual gaffe. That's simply not supported by the facts. Given that Romney's actual meaning is not that hard to parse, CBS' headline appears to be intentionally misleading.

"The strongest of all warriors are these two — Time and Patience."
Leo Tolstoy
"A waiting person is a patient person. The word patience means the willingness to stay where we are and live the situation out to the full in the belief that something hidden there will manifest itself to us."
Henri J.M. Nouwen
"This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a
long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time."
Haruki Murakami
"The world gives us PLENTY of opportunities to strengthen our patience. While this truth can definitely be challenging, this is a good thing. Patience is a key that unlocks the door to a more fulfilling life. It is through a cultivation of patience that we become better parents, powerful teachers, great businessmen, good friends, and a live a happier life."
Steve Maraboli
"Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind."
David G. Allen

Despite the wealth of information about how bacteria communicate, little is known about how quorum sensing proceeds during an infection. Georgia Tech researchers describe for the first time how close bacteria need to be to "talk" in an environment similar to chronic infection in cystic fibrosis.

Delta Downs: Guadalupe High out to make Azalea her second stakes in a row
Trainer Ronny Werner gets together with extended family members each Thanksgiving, and for years the dinner conversation has swirled around getting a horse together. Talk has finally become action in the form of Guadalupe High, who on Thursday night will be going for her second straight stakes win when she starts in the $75,000 Azalea at Delta Downs.
The Azalea is a 7 1/2-furlong race run around two turns, and it is restricted to 3-year-old fillies bred in Louisiana. Others set to start include Ante Up Annie, who is seeking her fourth straight win for Valene Farms and trainer Dallas Stewart, as well as the stakes-placed fillies She Loves Runnin' and Tensas Harbor.
Guadalupe High has won her last two races by more than 10 lengths, among her wins the $125,000 Premiere Starlet at Delta on Feb. 2. She is owned by Werner as well as his mother, Helen Burnett; his uncle, Kenneth Posey; and one of Werner's longtime clients, Rick Broth.
"At Thanksgiving, we have a big get-together on my mom's side of the family. It's like a family reunion each year," Werner said. "We kind of talk about, 'One day, let's get a horse,' and I finally hit my uncle up and said, 'Are we doing it or not?'
"My uncle keeps up with [racing] pretty good, likes the races, bets on them. He knows how things go, and of course, he's really pleased."
Werner said Guadalupe High was the first Thoroughbred owned by his mother, who has raced Quarter Horses. The filly, by Cuvee and out of the Wild Zone mare Fighting Zone, was a private purchase from her breeder, Janeen Oliver. Guadalupe High won her career debut in a maiden special weight at Evangeline Downs in June. She won a first-level allowance at Fair Grounds three starts later, and in her two-turn debut in the Starlet put up a career-high Beyer Speed Figure of 85.
"With her breeding, it's so-so on stretching, and we were a little concerned about it last time," Werner said. "Obviously, she stretched out fine, ran a huge race last time, and hopefully, she can do it again."
Gerard Melancon has the mount Thursday. The pair figures to be prominent from post 2.
"We're not going to change her style," Werner said.
Ante Up Annie won the off-the-turf Sarah Lane's Oates in her stakes debut last month at Fair Grounds. Brian Hernandez Jr. has the mount on the daughter of Majestic Warrior.
