Stags unscathed after Mickleover friendly
mansfieldtown.net, 26th July 2016
Manager Adam Murray was pleased to report a clean bill of health from the select XI which faced Mickleover Sports this evening.
First team players Mal Benning and Jack Thomas have missed previous friendlies because of injury concerns, although they are not believed to be serious.
And the Stags' chief noted his satisfaction in seeing a number of his players increase their match sharpness at this evening's contest in Derbyshire.
"It was a very competitive game, I enjoyed it," said Murray, who fielded a blend of youth and first team players in the match which ended in a 1-0 defeat.

"There was a bit of an edge to it, some good play, some points to work on. It was a good to get the mix - it was 50-50 with kids and (first team) boys who we needed to get the minute bank up. So overall, I was pleased with the workout. We managed to get 90 minutes in some people's legs and we've come out of it with no injuries, so that's the main thing."
Murray said the match would be a 'big learning curve' for his younger players, four of whom completed the Stags' defensive line-up.
"It goes to show that the gap from under 18 football even to, with all due respect men's football at Mickleover's level, is huge.
"The intensity and the power and the purpose in the game is a totally different level, so it's an eye-opener for them.
"We had a very young back four today and at times that showed, but it's a great learning experience for them and they won't get better unless we put them in situations where they're stressed and where they make mistakes.
"For them, it will be a big learning curve but overall it was the minutes in the bank that we wanted."
At the half-time interval, first team coach Karl Hawley entered the fray and the Stags' chief hinted that whilst Karl is not in his immediate first team plans, he could be a useful option in the 2016-17 League Two campaign.
"He's a good player. I think he showed that today. His experience and his ability to communicate on the pitch are tools that we have in the toolbox if needs be and [in order] to have that tool available to us we have to keep Karl ticking over in terms of his own fitness.
"Like I said a few weeks ago: Is he in the forefront of my mind to be on the pitch? No. But he's a great option to have.
"I've spoken to a few people who keep telling me I've got to register him because he could be a big weapon to have at this level and I don't disagree with that. He showed some touches today and his ability to bring other people into the game and to get into dangerous areas [was impressive].
"With a small squad we need as many options as we can," he added.
The manager's interview can be viewed tomorrow (Wednesday) on Stags PlayerHD
Stags boss Murray pleased with young defence's test at Mickleover
chad.co.uk, by John Lomas, Tuesday 26 July 2016
Mansfield Town boss Adam Murray was delighted to test out a very youthful Stags back four in tonight's 1-0 defeat at Mickleover Sports.
With a small squad and no loan windows, Murray knows it is vital he has as many options available to him as possible.
So at Evo-Stik NPL Premier Division Mickleover, he threw together Teddy Bloor, Corbin Shires, Keiran Harrison and Louis Danquah and watched them at full stretch against a very good Sports side.
"It was a very competitive game and I enjoyed it," said Murray.
"I thought it had a bit of an edge to it and there was some good play and some points to work on.
"It was good to get the mix - it was 50/50 kids and some of our boys who needed to get the minutes bank up.
"Overall I was pleased with the work-out and to get 90 minutes into some people's legs. And we came out of it with no injuries which was the main thing."
He added: "For the kids it will be a big learning curve. "It goes to show that the gap from U18 football to, with due respect, men's football at Mickleover's level is huge.
"The intensity, the power and the purpose in the game is a totally different level. So it's an eye-opener for them.
"We went with a very young back four today and I think at times that showed, But it was a great learning experience for them.
"They are not going to get any better unless we put them into situations where they are stressed and where they make mistakes.
"We learned nothing we weren't really aware of tonight as this step is huge.
"That's why I am a big believer if you can get the kids out on loan at 16/17 into this kind of football, you won't get a better learning curve than that.
"The intensity of the game is a lot higher than playing youth team football. For our kids to develop and go to the next level they need to be playing against men.
"Tonight there were some big areas that they can see themselves they need to work and improve on - and they will.
"The biggest thing today was getting that 90 minutes into people's legs. The most pleasing thing was the intensity of the game.
"We worked hard. We went and pressed. They are a decent side Mickleover, so, on a very tricky pitch, it was a good outing.
"I've got some real positives out of the last two games and we now move on to the final bit before we go to Newport and we're feeling very positive."
Hawley to stay fit as Stags' secret weapon
chad.co.uk, by John Lomas
Mansfield Town first team coach Karl Hawley will keep his fitness topped up in case his goalscoring experience is needed in the first team.
Stags boss Adam Murray confirmed he will get Hawley registered for the forthcoming season after a lively second half showing from Hawley in last night's 1-0 friendly defeat at Mickleover Sports.
Hawley twice forced saves from home keeper Lewis King and Murray said: "He is a good player. I think he showed that today - his experience and his ability to communicate on the pitch.
"It is a tool we have got in the tool box if need be. For us have that tool available to us we have got to keep Karl ticking over in terms of his own fitness.
"Like I said a few weeks ago - is he in the forefront of my mind to be on the pitch? No.
"But he is a great option to have. I've spoken to quite a few people and they keep telling me I have got to register him because he could be a weapon at this level and I don't disagree with that.
"I think he showed some touches today to bring other people into the game and get into dangerous areas.
"And it's just his aura on everybody else. You've seen today that people grow about him."
Murray said he would keep Hawley fit with some outings in the new U21 side being introduced at the club this season.
"So it's an option and with a small squad we need as many options as we can," he said.
"These games are there for a purpose and whether it's getting young kids through to play at a higher level - and you've seen tonight the difference between U18 and men's football - or a case of keeping the older boys ticking over we'll use it for all of that."
Mansfield Town prepare for final week of pre-season action
Mansfield Town begin their final week of pre-season action when they travel to Worksop Town tomorrow.
Stags have enjoyed a succesful pre-season despite defeat at Mickleover Sports in their last outing.
Adam Murray's side will then wrap-up their pre-season campaign on Monday when they travel to Hednesford Town.
Murray could send a full first team to Worksop Town and as close to the starting XI as he can get right now, though he stresses places are still up for grabs.
What have we learned about Mansfield Town in pre-season?
Murray is also unsure which side he will send to face Hednesford on Monday.
"It's a question I can't give you an honest answer to at the moment," he said.
"When you go into the last week of the season we won't risk anything. But at the same time we need to keep people's minute banks up.
"The first month is very hectic and I need everyone at full pelt, so we will look at it.
"We have certain people like Mal Benning and Pat Hoban who need to catch minutes up, we if we think they need games, we'll get them in the mix."

On May 14, Slow Food President Carlo Petrini will be speaking on the right to food and food sovereignty at the 11th session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII). His invitation to speak is the first time an external guest has been asked to address the Forum.

The UNPFII represents global issues pertinent to Indigenous Peoples. This year, at its annual two-week session, the Forum will focus on the "Doctrine of Discovery," where Indigenous, governmental, and UN representatives will discuss the impact foreign conquests have had on Indigenous Peoples, and how to rectify these grievances.
At the Forum, Petrini will speak on the power Indigenous Peoples hold to deal with many of our most dire societal ills – from environmental crises to global health problems. For many years, Petrini and Slow Food have been working with Indigenous communities, learning from their agricultural approaches, supporting farming initiatives, and fostering connections between farmers. Petrini argues that returning to many traditional agricultural practices that work in harmony with the earth is one of the best ways to establish a food system that guarantees access to nutritional food without sacrificing the long term health of our environment.

Selena Gomez & Rob Kardashian Dating? Kris Jenner Playing Matchmaker
Well, this is a match made in Kardashian heaven! Rob Kardashian is crushing hard on Selena Gomez and he's letting his mom, Kris Jenner, play cupid and set him up with his 'dream girl'!
Though Rob Kardashian, 28, is definitely the more private one of the Kardashian clan, he's been open with his family about one thing: his major crush on Selena Gomez, 23. Luckily, Rob's mom, Kris Jenner, is close pals with Selena, and she's already got the wheels in motion for the two to start dating! We've got all the romantic deets!
The idea for Rob to start dating Selena was actually Kris' to begin with, however, once Rob heard, he could not have been more on board. "He's totally crushing on her," a source told Ok Magazine. Kris had to have known Rob would be excited about that prospect, considering that, "Rob once called Selena his 'dream girl,' and Kris has been plotting ever since" the source added.
Of course, this is Mama Jenner we're talking about here, and generally speaking, most of her decisions have a business-motviated reasoning behind them. Thus, Kris believes that Selena's huge presence on social media makes her the ideal partner for Rob, for when he is finally ready to reenter the public eye in a major way, according to the source.
If Kris were to find Selena a new love, it would be just another in a string of helpful acts the Kardashian matriarch has imparted on Selena. Not only is Kris reportedly working on Selena's own reality show (which Kris would executive produce), she has also been there as a shoulder to cry on throughout her tumultuous relationship with ex, Justin Bieber.
What are your thoughts on potential couple, Rob and Selena, HollywoodLifers? Do you think they'd be cute together or nah?

Low Prices Help Commodity Buyers In Food and Automobile Industries
MINNEAPOLIS -- The price of corn has dropped to $2.37 a bushel from $5 in 1996. Cattle prices have sunk. And copper prices have been cut in half in the last three years.
With commodity prices hovering at extremely low levels, producers of those goods have every right to feel like the sky is falling. But to commodity buyers, such as food companies and auto makers, the skies have never looked more blue.

Pet Pals Therapy has been running since 2010 when owner, Beck Wigmore, covered a Terry's Ark, mobile farm visit for her parents who were unable to attend that day. The visit was to a local nursing home and the weather was very unkind. The visit ended up with the smaller animals being brought inside to sit on people's laps. After witnessing how much the residents of the home enjoyed this experience Beck started to look into the prospect of bringing these animals to see the residents on a regular basis and so, Pet Pals Therapy began.
It started small, using just rabbits and guinea pigs but it soon started to grow. With her base being at the family farm, the Seven Sisters Sheep Centre, Beck has access to a wide variety of different and tame, farm animals and she soon realised that her clients were keen to have interaction with lots of them. A large number of the elderly have had access to farms and farm animals in their childhood and seeing these animals again recalls happy memories which makes everyone in the room start talking about their past. For those who had not had access to animals, many were getting to experience something new.
Beck says; "It is quite incredible to be told by someone who is 90 that they have never bottle fed a lamb or even touched a chicken and now it is something that they are getting to experience, sitting in their chair in a care home. To see their joy and be part of creating a new happy memory for someone late in life is very rewarding. Some of the most amazing feedback we get is from the relatives of EMI residents who find that a Pet Pals Therapy visit is the one thing their family member can remember and they chat to them about the different animals they have seen each month. Many relatives now try to co-ordinate with our monthly visit, bringing children and grand-children, so all the generations can experience it together". Pam, a relative of a service user says "Pet Pals Therapy visits the home my mum is in, she really looks forward to seeing the different animals each month and it gives us something to talk about when I visit."
Over time Beck experimented with what worked and what didn't. She was amazed to find how something as small as a chick and the simple act of placing it on someone's hand could deliver such an overwhelming amount of joy to that person. Feedback from staff is full of stories of service users who don't normally come out of their rooms, coming out to see the animals and of those who never talk, or smile, sitting there with a huge grin, chatting away either to the animal on their lap or to other residents and staff. Vicky Sharman, Manager at St Margaret's nursing home in Eastbourne says:
"Pet Pals Therapy brings the outside world to people who can't access it themselves anymore. The animals are the one thing that makes everybody smile and the bonus of Pet Pals Therapy is that the staff know how to interact with our service users"
Pet Pals Therapy has a commitment to its participants that they won't see the same animal two months in row (except for lambs, as everybody wants to see lambs at lambing time!) Beck says "it's very important that the participants in the programme don't get bored seeing the same pet all the time, so I have developed the programme to include both visual stimulation and tactile sessions, this ensures that those participants who don't necessarily want to touch the animals can also enjoy our visits. You will be amazed how much someone with limited physical abilities can get from just watching animals, even if the animal is asleep, it can still trigger a feeling of well- being and happiness in the person watching it."
Commitment to the family farm sees Beck now shepherding full time with her Dad at the Sheep Centre but she has a team of trained Animal Stewards who facilitate the Pet Pals Therapy programme. Hiley, a long term participant in the Pet Pals Therapy programme says "Please keep coming because I enjoy seeing the animals so much, as well as the staff who are all lovely."

Twitter is adding indoor lacrosse to its roster of live stream sporting events.
The social network said Wednesday it is teaming up with the National Lacrosse League to broadcast one game a week this season and next. The action begins Friday as the Colorado Mammoth take on the Toronto Rock.
Twitter will also air the NLL's playoffs, Champion's Cup and show highlights across its platform. The deal is pretty significant for the nine-team league which does not have a major broadcast TV partner.
NLL Commissioner Nick Sakiewicz said in a statement the partnership with Twitter is "another critical step" in the league's growth. "This collaboration is a pivotal opportunity to enhance the NLL's digital presence in North America," he said.
The NLL is the latest live stream sports experiment for Twitter, which is struggling to grow its user base beyond 319 million members. The platform has shown the National Football League, the National Hockey League, pro boxing and eSports. Twitter also has a content deal with the National Basketball Association.
The competition is heating up as rival Facebook announced last week a deal with Univision to stream at least 22 Major League Soccer matches this season. Facebook is also reportedly discussing a deal to stream weekly Major League Baseball games this season.

Search Engine Optimization Key Tips
You're ultimately going to read a lot of SEO information on the web, but remember that not all of it is accurate. Some people out there actually want you to fail because it's better for their sites if you do. Ignore the tripe and the hype out there. Focus on this article and some great tips you can use in order to earn a higher ranking.
Consider search engine optimization as a way to enhance your internet advertising. Search engine optimization allows you to take advantage of keyword searches on websites like Google, bringing your page closer to the top of the results for targeted content. This way, you'll reach broader audiences and maximize your advertising expenditures.
One of the undisputed best ways to reach the top of the search engine results page is by having great content. People will naturally want to return to your site if you consistently offer interesting or entertaining information. If you struggle to come up with great content, it may be beneficial to hire a professional writer.
Writing and posting reviews for your product are a great way to increase your traffic. By creating a review of the product, targeting the product keywords and getting backlinks to the review to enhance its search rating, you can create a mindset for buying and direct those viewers appropriately.
The inclusion of a site-map page is crucial to any search optimization campaign. It allows you to include more internal links, which can help boost your position in search results. It makes it easier for search engines to find the most important (and relevant) pages on your site. Make sure to keep it small with no more than 50 links on one site-map. As a plus, it makes it easier for the visitors you already have to navigate your website.
Imagine yourself in the shoes of anyone searching for your website or product. Place yourself in their situation. After you can imagine this, try using some keywords that people would use to search for your specific product of website. This will help boost your search engine optimization.
If you add keywords on comments you will be better recognized. Instead, focus on the content that is within your site.
Build contextual links throughout your website. Interlinking your website's internal pages gives Google and other search engines clues to what your pages are about and helps guarantee that your internal pages share in higher rankings. To make this easier, many modern content management systems offer plug-ins that detect contextual link opportunities and automatically build them.
Use SEO tools to steal traffic from your competitors. Find out which keywords websites similar to yours use, and which keywords are used by potential customers. You can then use these keywords in your content, the descriptions of your pages and the names of your pages to rank higher than your competitors when a popular keyword is used.
To improve search engine optimization, consider repeating the primary keyword or keywords for your web page, in all of the page titles. For example, if you are a running coach, you may want to title your pages "Running Form," "Running Therapy," "Running Tips," "Running Groups" or something similar. Repeating your primary keyword, indicates to search engines that this keyword is very important.
Learn about the different types of external links that could increase your websites search engine rankings. The four main types are reciprocal links, directory links, paid one-way links and natural one-way links. Search engines rank each of these links differently, so educate yourself on the pros and cons of each before beginning your external link campaign.
When utilizing search engine optimization it is important to be patient. It often times takes many months before search engine optimization results are able to be seen. Always remember that the smaller your company is, and the newer your company is to doing business online, the longer it will take to see positive SEO results.
Search engines like Google don't always interpret searches literally. A certain degree of latitude is built into the search engine that allows it to discern nuances. Using more than three words, for example, plays on that latitude and allows the search engine to deliver a better set of results. Search Engine Optimization takes this into account.
Make sure that the naming convention you use for your site architecture makes sense when viewed on a search engine. If your visitor is looking for crackers, but your website link is to donsstore.com/yumminums/, they're unlikely to click through. DonsPantry.com/crackers/ looks spot on, and you can almost guarantee that the searcher will click your link. It also boosts your page rank to have keywords in the directory title.
If you can afford to, try to stay away from shared server hosting. It can be a very unreliable hosting platform that can damage the work you put into helping your SEO. Maybe try sticking to cloud hosting or virtual private server. If you must use shared hosting, do your research to make sure that it has a positive reputation.
You cannot incorrectly assume that the came thing that works for someone else is guaranteed to work for you do not waste time trying to mimic people, especially if you see it is not bringing you the desired results. Change things up and do what makes brings you the most traffic.
Think deep, and link deeply. You need to have links coming in from other sites to as many of your pages as you can. Numerous outside links that point to numerous pages on your site let the search engines know that your site has valuable content. If all of your outside links are pointing to your home page, the search engines will probably devalue those links because of the suspicion that they were artificially created.
After you've read and memorized these great tips, you can begin to build or rework your existing website so that it's as search-engine-friendly as possible. If you're putting the right SEO tweaks on your site, the search engine spiders will have no trouble at all finding it and bringing it to the top of the heap.

He Gave 'em Hell
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Truman's Presidency was a period of American history I was unfamiliar with - the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan, the Korean war - and McCullough's biography does full justice to the man, and the moments of a great president. Born a decade away from the Frontier, and dying in the atomic age in which he had had to make a momentous decision, Truman's life spanned an era. This biography is well paced, lively, informative, unsparing when it comes to Truman's perceived failings, generous in its appreciation of his skills and strengths as a human being.
What did you like best about this story?
Nelson Runger's narration is superb. His pace and vitality informs the book, and I appreciated the way that different players - Dean Acheson, Marshall, Roosevelt were given due weight. He didn't succumb (too much) to hamming up Churchill.
Any additional comments?
In short, highly recommended.

Very long but very good
This is a very long and detailed account of Harry S Trueman. It is a very good story, did not get bored. The audio book is good to listen to, the narration is excellent, yes it is 54 hours but well worth it.

That Mousy Little Man From Missouri Revisited
I confess that I grew up during a time where the mention of Truman either caused eye rolling sneers or tight lipped stoney looks. I have always heard the FDR story from Roosevelt's perspective...with Eleanor treating Truman as an imbecile in need of serious help. It was fascinating to hear the same events from Truman's perspective. Rather than being a "complete dope" I found Truman to be hard working, honest and honorable. A solid public servant--upbeat and positive even when things didn't go well or the way he hoped they would.
The best part of this 54+hour listen was that while telling Truman's life story McCullough also told the story of pioneer America. Tracing Truman's ancestors and early life highlighted the settlement of the "frontier". This artfully painted a picture of how totally different our lives have become compared to a hundred plus years ago. The stories of early Missouri and the violent turbulence of Kansas before statehood were engaging. The book is filled with sweeping tales of life in an America long gone.
I loved Runger's narration for the book John Adams. His narration of Truman started out a bit rough. It took one section (about 8 hours) before he hit his stride and warmed to the story he was telling. After that the reading was good.
In the end--Harry Truman proved to be anything but "That Mousy Little Man From Missouri". Recommended if you are interested in American history and love a good biography. I really enjoyed it.

What a biography should be
It's hard to imagine listening to a biography of one life for 54 hours...but this particular life was so packed with amazing events lived by an amazing man, that every hour was justified.
Okay, I'll admit there were a few hours that began to feel a little boring to me at times, particularly about his childhood and his ancestors. But I'm glad I listened to them, because biographies are about knowing people, and people are about all of the factors that shaped them, including the mundanities. Truman never forgot who he was and where he came from, so those shaping influences were necessary to the story.
And, as I'm learning from reading other minutiae-minded authors (such as Marilynne Robinson and even Victor Hugo), the little details provide ambiance, and ambiance immerses the reader, if the reader will allow it to. The reader begins to feel as though he is walking through life with the main character, and where this may not always be exciting, it certainly deepens the understanding and even affection that is developed.
And I became very fond of Harry Truman while listening to this biography. I knew next-to-nothing about him before reading it, but now I feel a deep respect and appreciation for him. Though we disagree on some fundamentals, I can now at least appreciate his positions. And though I can see some of his mistakes, I can respect that they were well-intended mistakes. He was, in short, a good man. And a good man is always worth getting to know. Frankly, that's one important way that this book helped me grow as a person. It showed me how much it's possible to respect someone with whom I disagree on major political issues. And that's a huge gift, because respect is a major antidote to...well...being a knee-jerk JERK. I hope to be less of a knee-jerker with people on the other side of the political spectrum, more interested in getting to know them as people rather than as political labels.
But mistakes and disagreements aside, this man did a phenomenal job in two terms which threw more staggering challenges at him than any previous president had ever faced. Few men could have stood up under the assault. I defy his critics to have done better.
As for the narrator, he was excellent. It must be a challenge to make a 54-hour biography enjoyable to listen to, but he certainly did it.
Somewhere past halfway through the book, something changed in the studio, because the mic picked up a lot of mouth noises from there until the end of the book. But that should reflect on the technicians, not on the narrator himself. And it should certainly not discourage anyone from taking this very worthwhile walk through the life of Harry Truman.

Our hearts are going to those who were working towards their goals and to those that were supporting those on that path in Boston. I was in awe as I was watching the news yesterday.
I am very aware that our world will be focusing on the impact of the tragedies from the Boston marathon today and this will and already has made an impact on the fitness world. I won't be able to watch the news, open up Facebook or browse Twitter for a bit without seeing something positive and something negative about this recent craziness that our world is experiencing. The media tends to grab hold of the negative parts and run them over and over until they are memorized by all that are watching. It is during these next few weeks where I usually find myself going numb for a bit and just like to turn off all the media outlets until the negative words, finger pointing and blame is not as intense.
Change for me isn't just about my physical body. Change for me has been a full body, full mind and full spiritual event. If I let one of those parts go, I am off balance. Life has thrown me some interesting curves and challenges through my 36 years of living and finding that balance daily is hard but is something I have learned to do…but I am always finding that there are still days that I am thrown off and wondering how to get back to my normal. Tragedies such as losing someone close to you leaves holes in your life and these are holes that you don't want to fill in because it really is a part of you but somehow you still have to keep going on with this emptiness. This "normal" that used to be is now new and different…and sometimes hard. I know. I explain why in a few more paragraphs.
America will be in a state of shock for a few days. Those that are truly changed by these tragedies will remain in shock for years to come and will be trying to move on with their life and their new "normal".
I see the words going across Facebook today that says, "wear a race shirt to show support" and that is great…but just know that sometimes those who have faced a tragedy don't always want to see support. Sometimes they just want to have their moment where they can escape and not be reminded of what has happened…if only for a brief moment. Race shirts are everywhere and will always be a constant reminder for these families regardless of the day that they are worn. Sometimes they might put a shirt on themselves in support of their family member that has been injured or who has died from this tragedy. Sometimes they might want to burn them all or throw them out so they are never reminded again. Balance may not be found for awhile…so just know that wearing a shirt is a nice gesture but may not be what is needed for all those changed by the tragedy that happened today. Everyone is different.
As we go through the next few days remember that people are watching and listening to see our reactions. I'm not going to tell you what is right or wrong because everyone is going to respond differently. But I would suggest one thing…that whatever you do, do it with a purpose. Don't just go with the flow because others are doing it. Do it because YOU see that it is important.
Last night I was really at a tough place with all that was going on. Our world needs more than just t-shirts people…our world needs actual change, love and good. I know it is out there…we just need to step up, get uncomfortable a little bit and give to those who are acting out and who are making it well aware that they are off-balance. Let's not forget to give to those who are silently wanting to be loved. These might even be harder to figure out but they are all around too.
I will always be real here at The Journey and I will always say what I'm really thinking. I have promised that from the beginning. Today I am raw and real and revealing more about myself than you might want to know. I know that others are thinking the same things as me…they just aren't going to say it to you. Here is what I wrote last night on our Facebook page and below that is the reasoning behind it…aka, my personal experience with tragedy:
The Journey has a post for today but decided to just take a moment and pause after what happened in Boston today. I have noticed a lot of you writing and passing along that we should wear race shirts tomorrow. Don't be mad at me or upset that I'm not showing support visually by presenting my latest race shirt on my torso but…I'm doing something different. I'm not wearing a race shirt because really, no one in Boston is going to see me. If you know me, you know I am already thinking of those in Boston today. What I think we should be doing instead…be nice to others, share a smile when maybe we don't want to be nice or pay for a meal, gas or the groceries for the person behind us in line, give a hug or send a card to someone that you know needs some encouragement. Making positive changes in our world in times where we are surrounded by lots of negative talk might make a better impact to actually change some of this bad that surrounds us constantly. If you want…you can wear your race shirt at the same time you do a random act of kindness. Just a thought.
I was thinking about all of the race shirts that I have and guess what…each one was given to me as a result of me running for a specific cause. I don't always think about that specific reason as I am signing up for a race but it is in the back of my mind and sometimes it is even tough for me to show up for the event because I know who might be there. Most of the time I am signing up because I just want to be part of the event at that specific date and time or because the race is one of the more popular ones that is very well organized.
Cancer seems to be the main theme in all of the shirts that I have stored in my closet and where the majority seem to be collecting dust.
Cancer is what left a hole in my family after my sister fought the cancer she had. She was just a kid and passed away at 12 years old. Today, I am still finding and adjusting to my new "normal" and it has been over 15 years since I last saw her. The shirts are not always a happy memory for me. That "c" word can be very intense at times.
I received some negative feedback yesterday from my post on Facebook. I understand you may not agree with me but you don't know how your actions will impact someone…even if it is just from wearing a shirt.
T-shirts aren't for everyone…and I am just one of those people where it is more of a negative than a positive when a certain word is displayed. T-shirts just don't work for me to show support…they serve more as a reminder of the hole that can't be filled. I do take hugs though. 🙂
Jessica is a mom to three kids, a wife, a day care provider and a certified cycling instructor. Her journey includes dropping 80+ pounds but also overcoming the tragedy of losing a sister who was 12 years old to Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She fought a great fight for 2 1/2 years and lost it just before getting a bone marrow transplant. Jessica was a perfect match.

Committee Member
Volunteer needed
Rita Holder (Bookings Secretary)
I started square dancing in 2004 with my husband Don. We graduated in November and
went to our first dance in Bristol the following evening, this was the beginning
of an adventure and certainly a great social experience for us. We attend local dances
and regularly travel to many parts of the UK, Germany, Malta, Spain and the USA for
square dance holidays and weekends, hence we have made many friends and acquaintances
over the years. One regret is that we did not hear about square dancing 10 years
earlier. It's a fun and challenging hobby, do come and join us.
The post of club chairman is currently vacant.
Temporarily the chairman's duties will be shared between other club members until
the position is filled.
Joyce Gilder Catering Officer.
Joyce saw a poster in the local newsagents window in 1999 for a free Open Night for
Square Dancing. She went along as she had always loved dancing and says it was the
best thing she had ever done. Joyce graduated in 2000 and quickly became Catering
Officer on the Club Committee..
Janet Banister (Publicity Officer)
I have been dancing with Cheltenham Squares for almost 20 years. Nigel and I had
just moved to Cheltenham when a friend asked us to go to an open evening he had seen
advertised. We had danced to Square dance records before whilst in Cyprus.We went
along and enjoyed the evening so much we decided to join the beginners class, a challenge
dancing to a caller compared to records ( there were records in those days ). We
have made Great Friendships, and a wonderful social life, we have mostly danced at
the club and local dances. It is lovely to have exercise of mind and body with lots
of pleasure involved.
Heather Anderson-Paine
(Minutes Secretary)
I noticed a flyer at the gym (my second home) and decided square dancing sounded
like something I might enjoy – a different kind of challenge. My younger sister had
been telling me for months about the fun she was having square dancing with her local
club so I attended an open evening. I was concerned that I might not be able to
participate because I wear hearing aids (I thought I wouldn't be able to follow the
Caller), but with support from the friendly and encouraging club members, it was
a breeze, I soon began to recognise the patterns and combinations of steps and I
graduated earlier this Summer. We have a healthy group of more than 40 regular members
but we are always keen to welcome new potential dancers – even if all you want to
do is come and watch at first. So, if you are looking to meet new people in a friendly
and laid back environment, and to do some gentle physical exercise whilst stimulating
your brain – then this could be for you! Come and join us!

You don't have to travel far to experience an expansive away day.
The latest piece comes from the stunning settings of the Sussex Coast around 30 miles south of Mid Sussex.
After picking up John in Hove, in the old 206, we travelled along the coast taking in Shoreham, Worthing, Goring before trundling into Littlehampton parking down by the front.
The weather was extraordinary for the time of year, clear blue skies, dry and very mild. It made for a very pleasant stroll down the Arun estuary.
It seems as though a lot of work has been done to tidy the area and to make the sea defences more durable. We had time for a beer or two in a riverside bar making the most of some bright sunshine.
Crab Tree Lane is a wonderful little ground.
It abuts the main line coastal rail line around two miles from the sea.
It boasts two covered stands and a club house to die for. I am not sure how it has been done but the club seems to have purchased two semi detached houses situated on the edge of the ground and turned them into a fully operation football hub.
Changing rooms, offices and extensive food out-let below with a huge open bar area upstairs complete with sky TV and a kitchen. Its arguably one of the best non league club houses in the County. In addition to that the programme is top rated as is the pitch. Great little club who perhaps deserve a chance in Ryman company as some stage.
The weather was still superb as the teams kicked off in the FA Vase 1st Round proper (£675 prize fund up for grabs). It soon become apparent that the hosts looked to soak up with five across the back. Heath had most of the possession through out a very compelling game. The one moment of clarity came early in the 2nd half. Sub Kane Louis cut inside and from 18 yards unleashed a dreamy right foot pile driver into the top corner. A worthy winner of any game
Afterwards a beaming Shaun Saunders (Blues Manager) told me: "I am delighted. Wick stuck to a game plan which made it very hard from us to break down. I would have liked another goal as at 1-0 you are a little exposed. It made for a nervy end to the afternoon. But we are in the hat for the next round which is great for the club and hopefully Mid Sussex. It would be nice to get a home tie next."
As eluded to in previous pieces Town are on the march and hopefully the good people of Haywards Heath can get behind the vibe. Trust me there is something very good happening at Hanbury Park right now, please get involved. The club are back in league action on 29 th October at home to Crawley Down (3pm) why not make a date !
The day ended in great style with a few beers back in Burgess Hill and bop at Quench Bar in the town. Another very enjoyable day following local football.

Stream: APPS
There is no doubt - Big Data is already changing the game across many industries from Financial Services through to Manufacturing. However, even with proven success, the power of Big Data is still elusive to many organisations. When organisations have the potential to collect data, the power to find value through new discovery methods via sophisticated analytics is yet another barrier to success. Join us as we discuss real industry examples of how organisations are changing the game with Big Data. In this session you will learn from industry case studies, identify how you can harness Big Data to drive results for your business and review the latest technologies for predictive and advanced business analytics from Oracle.
Pre-requisites: None - this will be an introductory session.
Presentation Objectives: Understand the implication of Big Data on business. Understand Oracle's Big Data Strategy. High level understanding of Oracle's Big Data products.
Speaker Details
I work with senior executives to help assess the implications of data driven disruptions on their businesses and develop the right strategies going forward. Most discussions focus on what's changing, how data can drive new business models, how to drive value out of data assets, the cultural challenges of data driven innovation, and where to start on a 2-5 year innovation strategy. I regularly present at Oracle and Industry events on the topic of Big Data.

The Clarence Parker Hotel --
Ellison's planned a three story department store with another two floors of office space on top. The first three floors were built but not floor 4 and 5 as George Vaulker started building his office building on the northwest corner of 1st Street and 1st Avenue Southeast. Thinking there would be a surplus of office space, the Ellison Building remained at only three floors. The restaurant in the Ellison Building was 0n the second floor. The Vaulker office building was never completed. The bottom two floors were all that was finished. The top floors were open with just the supports showing. The building was referred to as "The Sparrow Hotel" for many years as the birds were the only tenants. Twenty years later Clarence Parker bought the unfinished building and converted it to the Clarence Parker Hotel. In 1953 President Eisenhower stayed in Minot while visiting the Garrison Dam. While in town, he rented a suite rooms at the Clarence Parker Hotel.

This morning we commenced by availing of a Connoisseur Tour at Glenfiddich Distillery which lasted over 2 hours. This was very well delivered, taking us through the history of this famous and privately owned enterprise and the principal malting, mashing, fermentation, distillation and maturation processes culminating in a sample of 4 malt whiskies. A quality experience. Glenfiddich suffered significant damage to the structure of its buildings-and bonded warehouses in particular-during the recent harsh winter due to the weight of snow on roofs.
A video illustration of the veracity of the fermentation process in a washback.
After the distillery tour we had a light lunch at Glenfiddich and then drove round the corner to photograph Balvenie Castle, an impressive edifice. The castle has experienced an unusually peaceful life notwithstanding its strategic importance above the waters of the Fiddich. This castle has passed from the Black Comyns, to the Stewarts Earls of Atholl and then the Duff family whereafter it was abandoned in the early 18th century. Mary, Queen of Scots stayed here in September 1562.
We next drove to nearby Macallan Distillery where we were provided with a 'standard' tour. The tour lived up to the image of this famous, premium, brand. The visitor experience is excellent aided by a new interpretation exhibition which aids understanding of the Macallan whisky making process with emphasis on the role played by the Spanish and American oak casks in the maturation process. Unfortunately, photography is severely restricted in this distillery.
After the Macallan tour we drove down to the large house which now features as the Macallan logo and took pics of this building, Easter Elchies House, which overlooks the River Spey and Craigellachie.
This is Craigellachie which sites in the heart of the Speyside whisky industry
Our final distillery call was Glen Grant which is owned by Campari of Italy. We were provided with the standard distillery tour which was of good quality. The stills (see image below) feature unique condensers invented by a member of the founding Grant family.
Glen Grant produced a whisky which is light and very popular in Italy, often featuring as an aperitif. The malts here are matured for shorter periods than in most other distilleries and hence tend to be cheaper in price.
After Glen Grant we visited the famous whisky bar at the Craigellachie Hotel which is home to some 700 different malts.
Finally, we drove back to Grantown and a meal at the Craggan Mill restaurant which is famous for whisky themed meals.

Yesterday I ventured out and went to visit my old school friends that I've re-connected with and I tell you we had a ball, we laughed, cried, talked about growing up in our old neighborhood and just enjoyed a few bottles of wine. The friend whose home we were at had just moved into her home and she is in the stage of getting things in place, but I must say her home is beautiful. Another person joined us and she brought a sea food pasta salad and it was to die for, I had 3 helpings of it lol. Just having fun is all we did and it felt good we all need to let our hair down from time to time and just enjoy, good food, good friends, laughs and a few nice bottles of wine lol.
Sounds like a great time! Wish I had my friends from school. Most of my friends moved away out of state.
Chocolate wine is so delish! I noticed you had a picture of some
Yessss Frannie, we had a great time, I keep the chocolate wine on stock lol, one of the girls never tried it and loved it.
Sounds like a lot of fun, and I need to try that wine for sure....oh, and the seafood pasta salad sounds good too have a recipe?
Glad you had a great time. As Cindy Lauper sings "Girls just wanna have fun..."

An appeal to all you generous people out there. Help us by donating and spread the word.
We want Children – especially Girls to go to school. And we are sure you do too. You and I know the difference education has made to us and conversely, the lack of it to all the uneducated women we see around. Help us change this.
BAGIYA – a non formal remedial school run by Sanshil Foundation is more than just a regular school for underprivileged children. BAGIYA aims to 'Touch a Life' – of a child whose dreams of education would be otherwise just that… 'Dreams', and especially girls who bear the brunt of poverty with parents choosing to use their income to pay for the boys' education vis-à-vis the girl's.
Take for instance, Arti, daughter of an alcoholic father (Driver by profession) and a harassed mother who makes two ends meet by working as a domestic help, Arti came to BAGIYA a few years back after discontinuing her studies in Grade 8. Our team of volunteers counselled her, convinced her family to let her go to school and saved her from physical abuse by giving her a part time job at BAGIYA and coaching her. We are so happy that today, she has passed her Grade 12 exams and is all set to achieve her dream to 'work in an office' in times to come. Arti has enrolled for undergraduate studies and is pursuing a computer literacy course at the same time .
Help Arti and help others like her. In our mind, there is always a season to share happiness and bring light where it is needed most.

An early-spring sun soaked University of Maryland men's track and field athletes with rays of inspiration as they walked single file into the stadium at the University of North Carolina. Some two dozen runners, jumpers and throwers strode with proud purpose, hoisting Maryland flags and moving to the pounding beat of a Parliament-Funkadelic song, blaring from a boom box, with the lyrics, "If you hear any noise, it's just me and the boys."
The 1979 Atlantic Coast Conference outdoor meet was about to begin, and the most dominant force in conference track and field history had arrived in grand style.
"We marched in like we were going to war," said Greg Robertson, a four-time A.C.C. champion hurdler and team captain, who choreographed the procession.
I was a middle-distance runner on that team, and the meet was one of the most memorable in my career. I ran a personal best, finishing fourth in the 800 meters, and we won the conference outdoor title for the 24th consecutive year. It was perhaps the best team ever assembled at Maryland, with the hurdles world-record holder Renaldo Nehemiah and several other all-Americans. We finished eighth at the N.C.A.A. championships, tying Maryland's best outdoor finish, and recorded a second consecutive top-10 national ranking. The team finished sixth in the 1978 and 1979 indoor national meets.
Maryland's A.C.C. dominance ended after it won the conference meet in 1981. Today, Maryland men's track faces an uncertain future as one of six sports to be eliminated unless it can raise $4.2 million -- in cash only -- by July 1. Many among the track alumni consider it a death sentence.
The possible demise of the track program has been brewing for more than a quarter century, shortly after the Terrapins basketball star Len Bias died of cocaine intoxication in 1986. Track alumni were aware the team had been struggling. (It has finished no better than seventh in conference meets since 1991.) But a program with such a rich history, ethnic diversity and a strong record of graduating athletes deserves to continue.
A history of success
Maryland's men's track and field developed a half-dozen national champions and dozens of all-Americans since 1923. The team won 52 A.C.C. indoor and outdoor titles from 1954 to 1981.
Frank Costello, who won two N.C.A.A. high jump titles for Maryland in the mid-1960s, had been the Terrapins' coach for one year when I arrived in 1976. He expected nothing short of excellence.
At the A.C.C. outdoor meet my sophomore year, I sat sulking in the team bus after the first day of competition along with others who did not advance to the finals. Costello approached us as he walked down the aisle, congratulating fired-up qualifiers with high-fives and encouraging words. When he spotted our small, unenthusiastic group, Costello shook his head and quickly returned to the merry mix.
But by the end of my college career, I had won Costello's favor and we remain good friends today. When he told me I had been voted captain for the 1980 season, he said that he would have cast the final ballot in my favor if needed.
Team unity
I lived with other track athletes in converted offices at Ritchie Coliseum, Maryland's dingy first basketball arena, and then Byrd Stadium, where the Terrapins played football. The little apartments were fire hazards, and stepping on cockroaches the size of your thumb could be a little unsettling. In Byrd, most of us lived two to a room in an 8-by-10-foot space. You learned how to get along. In Byrd and Ritchie, we thrived in our own little Animal House along with others on the golf, tennis, baseball, wrestling, soccer, lacrosse and fencing teams. By living in close quarters, teammates built a sense of camaraderie that could not be recreated after those residences closed.
The track team thrived in a comfortable, mixed-race environment. On bus rides to meets, most African Americans sat in the back and most Causasians in the front, but not due to any racial divide or designation. In the back the "fellas", as they proudly called themselves, tossed flurries of verbal jabs at each other that defied boundaries of decency and left many of us rolling in the aisle in hysterical laughter. No topic, including your mother, was out of bounds. The rest of us stayed in the front and watched the antics in amused awe. Anyone who ventured to the back entered at their own risk.
Competitions provided the most memorable moments, though. I'll never forget Nehemiah's performance as a sophomore at the 1979 Penn Relays. In the 4x200 relay, he closed a 15-meter gap on the anchor leg and won by a couple of steps, running a 19.4-second split. He was more spectacular anchoring the 4x400 relay, closing a 20-meter gap and winning by 3 meters. His split: 44.3. Many consider it the most electric performance in Penn Relays history, and I feel proud to have witnessed it as part of that team.
Those memories formed unbreakable bonds. About a dozen of my teammates stay in contact and gather annually at Maryland's spring invitational meet in College Park.
The track team, however, could not maintain its standing. In 1980, Maryland lost its first A.C.C. outdoor meet in 25 years. Nehemiah left the team early that season to focus on the Olympic trials, and Costello quit soon after.
Bias death disrupts department
Bias's death hurt the university's sports programs for years, men's track more than most others. Track coach Stan Pitts remembers parents of recruits expressing concern about sending their child to a school they felt was full of drug abusers.
The athletic department was restructured into four tiers in 1990. The bottom tier, which included men's track, lost all scholarships and focused on regional competitions. "It was like someone in your family died," said Bill Goodman, the coach at the time.
Two years later, the team lost the use of its track during Byrd Stadium's renovations. For several years, the athletes trained at a local high school. The team was almost eliminated in the early 1990s, but Goodman fought for it.
"Track and field had 40 percent of minority athletes in nonrevenue sports at the school," Goodman said. "I had to form the best argument as to why they had to keep us."
Andrew Valmon, Maryland's current coach and the United States men's head track coach for the 2012 London Olympics, has maintained a positive approach. But the response among track alumni is warily optimistic.
Wary optimism
Dick Dull, Maryland's athletic director from 1981 to 1986, was a champion javelin thrower in the 1960s and later an assistant for the team. Now the director of the booster club at Hood College in Frederick, Md., Dull understands fund-raising. Like the track alumni I have talked to, he has vowed to help save Maryland's program. But he offered a word of caution.
Speaking generally of athletic fund-raising, Dull said, "A lot of possible donors don't believe they should pay for what they feel the institution should be paying for themselves."
Dave Ungrady, who was captain of the 1980 Maryland track team, is the author of "Born Ready: The Mixed Legacy of Len Bias." He will host a book signing at the Backyard Bistro in Raleigh, N.C. on January 8 from 4-6 p.m. and after the Maryland-NC State men's basketball game.
A version of this story appeared in the New York Times on December 18.

The Maze Runner/
Thomas (Dylan O'Brien, The Internship) wakes up in a moving elevator. He knows his name, but little else about his past. The elevator reaches its destination, a hatch door opens, and Thomas finds himself surrounded by a few dozen teenage boys. They help him out of the elevator. Thomas sees that he's in a large, grassy field, and begins to panic. He runs. He trips and falls. The other boys laugh. Thomas surveys his surroundings, and sees that the field is surrounded by massive walls. This is a prison of some sort, but how did he get here? Why is he here? Who are all these other guys?
I like the fact that The Maze Runner just throws us into the action without bothering to explain much of anything. The film is yet another attempt to cash in on the popularity of The Hunger Games, but unlike the first film in that series, The Maze Runner doesn't spend the bulk of its first act trying to explain how its dark version of the future operates. Instead, it establishes the very nature of its world as a mystery to be solved. I'm half-convinced that the grand scheme (only a fraction of which is revealed by the film's conclusion) is all kinds of ridiculous, but the uncertainty The Maze Runner offers successfully prevents us from spending the whole film thinking about how unconvincing its world is (I'm looking at you, Divergent).
After he gets his bearings, Thomas realizes that there's an opening in one of the walls. The other boys inform him that it's the entrance to a large maze, and that the maze supposedly leads to freedom. It stays open all day, but closes at night. So why isn't everybody currently trying to work their way through the maze? It seems that horrible creatures known as "grievers" enter the maze at night, and no one has successfully managed to find the exit in a single day. If you don't get back to the field before the maze door closes, you won't survive the night. As such, a group of particularly intelligent, athletic kids have been designated as "runners," and devote themselves to mapping the maze during the day. Unfortunately, the maze design changes every night, meaning that the runners are essentially starting from scratch each day. They've been working on it for three years now, and haven't had a bit of luck.
Setting aside questions about why someone would want to make a bunch of teenage boys navigate an impossible maze, the premise of The Maze Runner has a certain basic appeal. It feels like the sort of larger-than-life scenario a child working his way through a simple playground maze might concoct, and helmer Wes Ball (a vfx artist making his directorial debut) turns the maze-running sequences into tense, absorbing bursts of action. The encounters with the grievers (basically giant cyborg spiders) are messy and frantic struggles for survival, and I like the fact that the film never turns any of the boys into action heroes. These kids are brave, but they're just kids, and their survival is almost always the result of luck and inelegant ferocity.
Back in the field, the film struggles to avoid dullness. Part of this is due the fact that Thomas is a fairly uninteresting central character; a vanilla Chosen One whose only significant trait is his uncanny ability to make progress in areas where the rest of the guys have stalled out. The film frequently insinuates that he's supposed to be special/exceptional/important in some way, but the writing never really backs that up in a way that makes him a better protagonist. It should be noted that O'Brien (who vaguely resembles a young Mark Wahlberg) seems to be a competent actor, but his primary task is to look handsome and athletic enough to put on a poster.
The Maze Runner also seems timid about exploring the probable consequences of the world it creates. Forcing a bunch of desperate teenage boys to form their own society would likely produce a great deal of chaos, but everything seems remarkably stable and organized under the circumstances. Before the film's halfway point, a teenage girl (Kaya Scodelario, Skins) arrives. She's basically treated as just another one of the guys, which is certainly a positive thing but not a particularly convincing one. I realize that this is a film aimed at younger viewers, but the constant orderliness at the expense of reality feels a little patronizing after a while.
The film is intended as the beginning of an ongoing franchise, and it feels like it: it has an ending that would satisfy as the conclusion to an episode of television, but would prove infuriating if this were a standalone film. The final fifteen minutes or so are a little bonkers, featuring the film's only prominent adult actor delivering a monologue that offers a few details about why the boys have been required to spend years navigating a deadly maze. The sequel promises to take things into even sillier territory (with a subtitle like The Scorch Trials, how could it not?), but I'd be lying if I said I was entirely disinterested. The grand reveal of the villain's master plan will probably be disappointing, but it certainly isn't predictable. That's something, I guess.

Melvin A. "Mickey" Steinberg is walking through Louie's Book Store Cafe, in the 500 block of N. Charles St., when he bumps into a bunch of children. Steinberg is running for governor of Maryland. The children are maybe elementary school age. Steinberg spots an opening.
"Are your parents Democrats or Republicans?" he asks.
"Yes," the kids yell in chorus.
Steinberg rolls his eyes a little. He doesn't want a yes, he wants a poll. He asks the kids what they're doing here. They're members of the Carroll County Children's Chorus, they say. And then, right here in Louie's, they begin to sing.
"We are marching in the light of God," they chorus for the next several minutes.
"Superb," says Steinberg, offering a one-man ovation. The kids take little bows. Then Steinberg offers some wisdom.
"A political tip," he calls it, as he grabs a baseball cap off one kid's head. "While everybody's singing, one guy walks around and holds out his cap, and people put money in the cap. That's how I made it, see? It's tough raising money, but this will work, I promise."

Fish Story, Part 2
[Part 1] I squeezed into the cramped cockpit and wedged myself between the back of Ayren's seat at the navigation console and a locker labeled WEAPONS. (I'd checked it already — it was locked, of course.) Ayren leaned back against the headrest and looked up at me. "You're all right?" she whispered, and I nodded as another laser blast rocked the little craft. "I was afraid you were getting tossed around back there." "I was." We were...Read More

Endorsing the Lord's Candidate
Untried Suggestion
And behold it is written also, that thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy; But behold I say unto you, love your , bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven; for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good.

Love Your Enemies
Many has heard the following teaching of our Savior, but too few have taken it seriously.
¶Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.(Matt 5:43-45)

The Reproach of Men
Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart I have written my law, fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. (2 Ne. 8:7). This part of the Book of Second Nephi quotes from the Book of Isaiah? (in Chapter 51) so in both the old world and the new, the Lord admonished His people not to fear the reproach or criticism of the people around them. Read the rest of this entry »
Jethro's Advice
And Moses' father in law [Jethro] said unto him … (Exodus 18: 17) … Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:(Exodus 18: 21) … So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.(Exodus 18: 24)
The work load of leading Israel after the departure from Egypt was too great for Moses to bear alone. As Jethro advised, Moses delegated much of the responsibility to others. For our purposes here, the most important detail of the story is the list of qualities that Jethro said the leaders should have to whom Moses delegated authority and responsibility.

Upside Down
And wo unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord! And their works are in the dark; and they say: Who seeth us, and who knoweth us? And they also say: Surely, your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay. But behold, I will show unto them, saith the Lord of Hosts, that I know all their works. For shall the work say of him that made it, he made me not? Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, he had no understanding?( 2 Nephi 27:27)

Cicero on the Decrees of Fools
But if the principles of Justice were founded on the decrees of peoples, the edicts of princes, or the decisions of judges, then justice would sanction robbery and adultery and forgery of wills, in case these acts were approved by the votes or decrees of the populace. But if so great a power belongs to the decisions and decrees of fools that the laws of Nature can be changed by their votes, then why do they not ordain that what is bad and baneful shall be considered good and salutary? Or, if a law can make Justice Injustice, can it not also make good out of bad? (Marcus Tullius Cicero, quoted in W. Cleon Skousen, The Five Thousand Year Leap, p 45) Read the rest of this entry »

When Dan Campbell took over as head coach of the Miami Dolphins, few expected the turnaround that the team has experienced through two games.
They're undefeated under Campbell, and more impressively, they lead the NFL in points scored over the past two weeks en route to two blowouts. Not only has the offense erupted, but the defense has played extremely well, too.
More from FoxSports
One player who's given the offense a big lift, though, is Lamar Miller. He's always been seen as a very talented back, but never seemed to have a large enough workload to sustain success. In the first four games of the season under Joe Philbin, Miller never eclipsed 15 touches in a game. In two games under Campbell, he's touched the ball 21 times and 17 times, respectively.
Not only is his workload increasing, but his numbers are, too. On Sunday against the Houston Texans, Miller had 236 yards from scrimmage on 17 touches at halftime -- 175 of which came on the ground. Miller credits the huge statistics to an increase in touches, thanks to Campbell.
"Earlier in the year, I was worried about how many opportunities I was going to get," Miller said via Walter Villa of the Miami Herald. "I wasn't getting the ball that much. So every time I got it I was trying to make a big play, and I wasn't reading my keys."
It's easy to understand Miller trying to do too much under Philbin, seeing as he didn't know when his next carry would come. Now with Campbell at the helm, he can expect a larger dosage of carries, allowing him not to press on every rush attempt.

America plays its Trump card!
In one of the most closely fought and controversial US presidential races, Donald Trump has won the mandate to be the 45th President of the United States. This is a result that has wrong-footed the majority of political pundits and polls who widely predicted a Democratic victory for Hillary Clinton right up to the last minute.
Overnight, as the prospect of a Trump presidency became increasingly likely global markets reacted dramatically. Asian stock markets tumbled heavily, with the Nikkei dropping by over 5%. Gold surged to over $1,300 per ounce, reflecting the flight to safety across the world. The value of the US Dollar also fell against a broad range of currencies, illustrating the way this result has caught the majority of market participants by surprise.
However, although the FTSE100 opened to heavy initial losses, the index has now bounced back to be only marginally down on the day.
We await the opening of the markets in the US later today, but we would normally expect heightened volatility across financial markets before and after an election.
Our approach, as it has been in previous geopolitical shocks, is to avoid making knee-jerk reactions with regards to investment portfolios. We will watch market reactions very closely and will be scrutinising the details, to determine our investment strategy going forward.
Over the coming weeks, we will see greater details emerge about Trump's plans and policies for his term as President. This will provide a clearer direction for the economic policy that will underpin America for the next four years, and what the implications are for the rest of the world.
In times of our strategy moving forward, we will maintain a level, calm, outlook. Our decision to rebalance the Advanced Investment Strategy last week in advance of the election has proved to be a prudent move. We will look to identify opportunities that arise as the situation develops and will communicate these to you so that we can make the necessary changes to your portfolios.
As usual, if you would like to discuss your investment portfolio, and assess how it is positioned, then please contact the expert team at Foresight.
