Realms In The Firmament - Chapter 157
Chapter 157 - Both Hard And Soft Tactics
What Gu Jin-Long required were all the best treasures, but because he had quite a high standard about treasures, there were not many things he liked. So Wan Zheng-Hao didn't really give Gu Jin-Long a lot of treasures after all. Now that Feng Zhi-Ling got involved, he was afraid everything that Ling-Bao Hall got would all be snatched by him and would all be used to make dan beads. That meant most of the resources that used to be in his hand would become Feng Zhi-Ling's.
When he thought about seeing Feng Zhi-Ling face to face everyday, he felt pain in his heart.
He just wanted to smash Feng Zhi-Ling.
When he had such thought, his eyes would naturally be filled with a killing intent.
Ye Xiao sat opposite to him with his legs crossed. He spoke blandly, ''By the way. Brother Gu didn't return to where he belongs. He has been taking a secret training in the Land of Han-Yang... He said he would leave after he make success in some kind of martial art. During the time he is cultivating, he wants me to make one kind of dan for him. It is difficult to make, to be honest, but the materials are easy to find. Well, it is going to be your job then. Thanks, Boss Wan. And we can't make any mistakes on this.''
Wan Zheng-Hao trembled like he was stricken by the thunder. He laughed constrainedly and said, ''Yes. That's right. I will do my best. I won't let any mistake happen!''
His hostile thought against Feng Zhi-Ling disappeared immediately.
He knew how vicious Gu Jin-Long was. He knew that if Gu Jin-Long wanted him to disappear, he wouldn't even need to do anything. Simply a breath could make him disappear once and for all.
He realized that Feng Zhi-Ling was someone he couldn't afford messing with.
He had to please him and make him feel good about everything!
He was seriously upset about it.
Ye Xiao saw the expressions on Wan Zheng-Hao's face. He felt rather casual.
Now, Gu Jin-Long was one hundred percent dead in his hand.
This Ling-Bao Hall was obviously a private force that Gu Jin-Long raised for himself. He wanted a place to stay when he came to the Land of Han-Yang, and he thought maybe he could get some valuable treasures from it. It apparently was not making enough money for him.
In fact, Ling-Bao Hall had been running its business all around other countries. That was Wan Zheng-Hao's credit. The cross-kingdoms business didn't get any support from Gu Jin-Long. The Ling-Bao Hall was not good enough for Gu Jin-Long though. Yet it was quite a powerful thing for Ye Xiao, so he would, of course, take it over as soon as he can.
He knew that Wan Zheng-Hao didn't really like this;he just didn't dare to say anything.
It wasn't a good thing that his underling had any crosscurrent to him. He thought that it would definitely bring troubles if the underlings didn't fully obey him.
He spoke casually, ''Wan, I am afraid you have to care more about your personal image. It doesn't do good to your health anyway. A king doesn't use hungry soldiers. I mean, you and I, we are like a family now. I have a recipe of Slimming Dan that can help people lose weight. If you keep taking it for a month, I think you will lose 90 percent of your fat...''
He smiled blandly and continued, ''Well then, you won't be 700 kg anymore... I am confident that you can become under 100 kg.''
''Most importantly, it works perfectly with the Life Extending Dan.'' He smiled with his eyes closed.
Wan Zheng-Hao was shocked when he heard that!
He started to quiver.
[Slimming Dan?
There actually is such a kind of treasure!]
Wan Zheng-Hao had been through thousands of years in misery because of the fat on his body. Sometimes, he felt that he would rather die than live. He thought that it was better living miserably than dying comfortably. That kept him from killing himself overtime.
As the fat grew, from 1600 years earlier, the fat had covered all of his true body.
He had lost the pleasure of being a man. The fat covered his pxnis so he couldn't use it for se* at all. The only thing he could do with his pxnis was to pee strugglingly. He could only sigh whenever he wanted to do 'something'.
The Life Extending Dan surely did extend his life, yet every dan bead he took added more fat on his body.
When he heard what Feng Zhi-Ling said, he felt like those words were from the heavens. He was like a man who was about to drown when he suddenly grabbed a firm grass on the land!
''Brother Feng! Is there really such kind of wonderful dan?! Hmm. Such magical dan beads, does it need your master to make them?!'' Wan Zheng-Hao held Feng Zhi-Ling's hands. He was thrilled!
His eyes actually lit up with a green glow. That showed how eager he was.
Ye Xiao nodded seriously and said, ''Relax, Wan. Although it is not easy to make such dan beads and it also requires a lot of materials, it is not a high-class dan. It won't need my master's assistance. I can do it. As long as I have enough materials, I promise I can make some for you.
Well, the only thing that concerns me is that I don't know why he never told you about this dan. There maybe something tricky about it though. I don't know.''
He was attempting to get the support of Wan Zheng-Hao so he could develop the Ling-Bao Hall as his own force. So he seized every chance to smear Gu Jin-Long. He could feel free to smear him because he was already a dead man.
Wan Zheng-Hao's face turned dark.
[There is such a dan and he never told me about it! Why?
He never wants me to become a normal person! He never wants me to enjoy the pleasures in my life! Right?
That's reasonable... I am holding so big amount of wealth here. He comes down here once in dozens of years. I have the long-lasting life, thanks to him. Am I not enjoying more than he does? Even if he never cares that I hold this wealth, maybe he just cares that I am living a better life than his!
All in all, Gu Jin-Long just extended my life so that I can work for him!
I am just a tool for him. Why does a tool need to enjoy life then?]
His face turned darker and darker.
Ye Xiao spoke casually, ''In fact, I have asked Brother Gu about it.''
''What did he say then?'' Wan Zheng-Hao asked.
''He said... He spent a lot to raise you and extend your life, so that you can collect valuable treasures and useful resources for him. If you enjoy your life too much, you will be distracted and you won't do your best in works. That would be him lifting up a stone to drop it on his own toes...'' Ye Xiao answered blandly.
''I knew it! Humph!'' Wan Zheng-Hao bursted with hatred. He humphed and then remembered that the man in front of him was the sworn brother of Gu Jin-Long. He feared that if Feng Zhi-Ling told Gu Jin-Long anything...
So he looked at Ye Xiao alarmingly, ''Master Feng... Well urn...''
Ye Xiao acted like he was generous and said, ''Easy, Wan. We still need to get well along with each other in the Ling-Bao Hall. I need to focus on dan-making, so the affairs in the Ling-Bao Hall will mostly be in your charge. I am not stupid enough to cut my own hand, am I?''
Wan Zheng-Hao felt relieved and said smilingly, ''That's true. That's true.''
''Well in the future, when Brother Gu fully digests the Cosmic Hades and boosts his cultivation, he won't need us to supply resources to him anymore...'' Ye Xiao spoke slowly with his eyes closed.
[What does Feng Zhi-Ling mean? Does he want to get rid of Gu Jin-Long once and for all?]
Wan Zheng-Hao felt happy about it. And then he was scared. [I know too well about Gu Jin-Long. If Ling-Bao Hall means nothing to Gu JIn-Long anymore, he will never give me Life Extending Dan anymore. How am I going to extend my life then?]
''Brother Feng, what... what should we do then?''
His face turned pale all of a sudden.
Everything he learned today made him feel like he was coursing through heaven and hell. It was rising up high suddenly, and then dropping down rapidly.
He felt happy that he had a chance to lose his weight at first. He wanted to have a normal life. Yet he became unhappy because he had a problem extending his life.
He had sacrificed so much to keep himself living. Now that his long-lasting life was going to an end, wasn't it unfortunate?
Ye Xiao looked at Wan Zheng-Hao with cold and sharp eyes.
''Master Feng, why do you look at me like that?'' Wan Zheng-Hao asked anxiously.
''Nothing. I just want to tell you, only when Brother Gu leaves and only when I can truly do whatever I want... can I give the Slimming Dan Beads to you.''
Ye Xiao smiled blandly, ''Well, there is a time issue with the Slimming Dan though. You know the efficacy of such wonderful dan is always limited. After you start to take it, in a certain period of time, you need to take it again before the fat on your body increases again..''
Wan Zheng-Hao smiled bitterly. [I know how it works. I understand it. Well... but...]
His eyes lit up with fierceness again.
[It just means that right now, someone else is controlling me.
It was Gu Jin-Long then, and now, it is Feng Zhi-Ling.
Yet I can't get a long-lasting life anymore. Why do I need to be somebody's servant after I finished being another person's servant?
Fxcking bullshit. Do I have to be a servant?!
I am going to die soon anyway. Why don't I die fighting back. Everybody die then! Do you think it is that easy to take advantage of me?!]
It seemed Ye Xiao didn't notice that Wan Zheng-Hao was strange, so he continued, ''In fact, I have the recipe of the Life Extending Dan too. I don't have enough materials though. Otherwise I can make it now too!''

Transition and Occupy
By Jon Orrell
Fascinated by the misreporting and inspired by Peter's review into reading "Treasure Islands" I have visited OccupyLSX to see what's up.
I found a well organised and clean camp that did not block access. They had a meeting area, library, seminar university tent and composting site. On the first occasion "Sermon on the Steps" took place with many speakers from various faith groups. One took a Transition perspective and hooked the audience by highlighting greed in bankers then challenged us all on greed in our materialistic lives to move to simpler living.
The protesters were very committed to non violence and keeping the site free of drugs and alcohol thus denying detractors any negative ammunition. The second occasion resulted in the masked banner photo during the Lord Mayor's parade. The book chapter I read was perfectly choreographed with the procession and illustrated the interplay of financial power embodied in city institutions backed by military force. All mapped out in the book. All displayed for those with eyes to see in the pageantry and procession.
The numbers in the camp were modest. The cheering crowds large. How curious that people facing environmental and economic catastrophy celebrate the golden coaches of capitalism that rob them of pensions, public services and a future ? How to raise awareness of our common predicament for the 99%? A challenge for OccupyLSX and Transition. Hope these few words helps a few wake up to the state we are in and a hope for a better world.

Have You Visited Doodletown?
I'm always looking for my next adventure here in the Hudson Valley. And I love exploring, so nothing is really off limits, unless of course it's private property. I'm a rule follower after all.
I started looking into abandoned towns throughout the United States, just because I was curious and so-called 'ghost towns' always fascinate me.
Where did everyone go? They all just decided to pick up and leave one day? Why?
Those are only a few of the questions I ask myself after I cross off alien abduction off the reasoning list.
Anyway, I came across a local 'ghost town' and I think I found my next Hudson Valley Adventure.
According to The New York Times Doodletown is near Bear Mountain and last saw residency in 1965. Hikers can currently see the three main roads that lead to Doodletown and parts of houses, schools, churches and businesses of the 70 or so that lived there at one point.
One family, who lived in Doodletown, explains to the NYT back in 2008 that Doodletown didn't just strangely vanish. The reason behind Doodletown's downfall was that it "fell victim to a series of land acquisitions in the area that began in the early 1900s and lasted through 1965."
To explore Doodletown find more details at NY/NJ Trail Conference website.

Our Company started with the require of a service for repairing vehicle computers by our fellow mechanics and technicians. And at a computer safety conference in Asia in March, Eric Evenchick, a systems developer, demonstrated how he had hacked into a Chevrolet and, maintaining the vehicle in neutral, revved the engine to the maximum. The design of the games is outstanding and a lot of auto online games can generate the illusion that you are really inside the game. As vehicles have evolved, they have become less mechanical and a lot more electronic," Craig explains in the Car Hacker's Handbook Regrettably these systems are typically closed off to mechanics.
Ahead of agreeing to acquire a laptop or desktop personal computer employed, ask if there are any problems with the computer, when it was final utilized, and how old the method is. Just simply because it is priced to move, it doesn't mean you are acquiring the ideal deal. If the directions are difficult to discover or even challenging to stick to, then you require to ask the automobile dealers due to the fact they supply buyer assistance, or even, if problems are serious, located an auto mechanic who can supply repair services. Of course if you owned a shop you had a reader for every manufacturer's laptop, or for the automobiles you worked on the most.
E3iO is continuously operating to incorporate greater components and various choices to develop the greatest Pc for your Auto. Furthermore, a vehicle that fails an emission test is a auto that could have serious troubles with its computer systems. There is a frequent worry amongst many men and women that auto repair specialists take advantage of the basic public.
You can repair some of a vehicle's issues just by paying interest to how the automobile is operating and getting a standard understanding of auto repair. Even if it does not trigger the verify engine light, you will fail the emissions test when they hook up their scanner to your car's laptop. Most personal computer sensor troubles are diagnosed by checking resistance or voltage at the sensor or at the pc wiring harness connector.
Till it gets safety all figured out, the German company is holding back from adding full Internet connectivity features, such as true-time data from the engine that alerts the nearby car shop ahead of time. If it wants to be refilled, it is ideal to open the hood and add more to the car ahead of it gets as well warm out. You can imagine simultaneous whiteboard sessions in which programmers attempt to figure out what cool factors can be created from car data—and basically coming up with the same set of 1st tips. When you drive the vehicle to warm it up for the test, the additive need to help clean the catalytic converter and exhaust system.

The Erickson Alumni Center has set aside a corridor devoted to displays of fraternity and sorority graphics, photos and memorabilia. The plan is to have at least a touch screen display of basic fraternity/sorority information by the start of football season. I thought you might be like to see some of what will be displayed about Sigma Phi Epsilon. Start up time was very short, and that limited what could go into this first effort, but I understand there will be an opportunity to expand later. Some of the alumni pictures don't seem to have made it in. I'll try to get them included next time. Enjoy.

The topic of love has always been tricky, yet dazzling. Everybody has their own definitions, stories and theories. This topic has the widest range of genres, from cute to hot, from sad to funny, the silly ones, the crazy ones, the thrilling ones! *it is a never ending list*
Irrespective of the flavour, every story is beautifully UNIQUE.
When I tried understanding what love is, I came across many instances.
Sharing the unconventional ones with you.
*This is how I saw them*
Light and Darkness
Light and darkness are those passionate lovers who keep following each other. Always. They know one's presence can destroy the other. So they exist, without destroying each other. Just the satisfaction, that their better half has been there, earlier, is enough for them to believe in love. They set a perfect example of compromise, the only manner in which they can coexist. This is the best kind of love.
River and Glacier
The river and glacier are those lovers who cannot live together. Ever.
The glacier is the sole reason of existence of the river. It loses itself to pieces, just to make sure its lover is living a wonderful life.The rippling sound of water are the cries of a lover, who due to the circumstances, cannot live with its lover. The intensity of cries reduces when the river realizes that few things are not meant to be. So, it makes peace with the situation and moves on.
Love is holding hands,
Love is walking at the same pace,
Love is matching footsteps,
Love is family,
Love is walking with mom and dad,
Love is being together,
Love is finding happiness in others' happiness,
Love is being calm and relaxed in each other's company,
Love is compromising,
Love is sacrificing,
Love is demanding,
Love is caring,
Love is beautiful.
P.S. Such a long post! *happy dance* Do you like it?
P.P.S. I always wonder, am I the only one who has this weird way of thinking? OMG is it not normal? *wishfully thinking you will say, "NO, you are completely alright."*

Health Insurance for Senior Citizens
What are Senior Citizen Health Plans?
These are health plans that cover a person only once they become senior citizens. Most insurers consider the age of 60 years and above as senior citizen. There is no maximum ceasing coverage age and the policy can be renewed for lifetime.
However, most insurers will not permit you to buy a fresh policy beyond the age of 80. The maximum cover can vary depending on the premium you pay from Rs 1 Lakh to Rs 60 Lakh. Like normal health insurance policies, these policies cover a host of medical emergencies and critical illnesses. Some of the benefits are:
Hospitalization expenses and treatment for critical illness - Hospital expenses are covered after 24 hrs hospitalization. The cover is mainly for doctor's fees, room charges, cost of medicines, nurse fees and specialist fees. The per day limit of hospital cover varies from insurer to insurer.
Cashless mediclaim in all network hospitals- Each insurer will provide the list of network hospitals at the time of starting the policy.
Day care procedures expenses- These are expenses for minor surgeries that can complete in a day due to medical advancements for example cataract, Chemotherapy, Dialysis etc.
Ambulance charges- This is usually upto Rs 1000 per hospitalization.
Pre and Post Hospitalization expenses- This is normally covered for one month pre hospitalization and 2 months post hospitalization.
Things to remember
It is important to start planning for health insurance early. Mainly because the premium you pay increases as you grow older. The average increase in premium payment is 20% for every 5 years. Another reason is most insurers can reject a policy if they feel the person is too big a risk, because senior citizens are easily prone to illnesses and diseases.
It is important to give details of your pre-existing conditions, family history and habits clearly when taking the policy. This is to insure that your re-imbursement claims will not have any chance for rejection.
On the topic of pre-existing illness, one must be extra careful. Many insurers have a waiting period for pre-existing illness cover to start. This varies from 1 year to 4 years. Also some insurers have a co-payment clause for pre-existing illness. Co payment is when the expense is shared with the policy holder.
This could be as high as 50%. Some insurers also charge an additional premium of 10% on pre-existing conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
There are also some policies that specify exactly which illnesses they will cover. They will not cover you for any other illnesses you may face. Also there may be fixed maximum limits for each procedure that is covered. So anything above the limit will have to borne by the policy-holder.
Reaching the milestone of 60years should a momentous occasion for celebration. Having a health policy will help you to be financially secure for medical emergencies and enjoy the golden years of your life.

Cinema Tropical and Retribution Media have announced the the world theatrical premiere of David Barba and James Pellerito's Anatomy of a Male Ballet Dancer, an intimate portrait of the Brazilian charismatic, world-renowned American Ballet Theatre Principal. The film opens on Wednesday, January 3 at Film Forum, followed by other U.S. cities.
Marcelo Gomes is a danceur noble: a male ballet dancer whose extraordinary technique, charismatic presence, and seemingly effortless strength make him the embodiment of the classical prince. Raised in Rio de Janeiro, the darkly handsome dancer has been called the Pelé of Ballet. After winning the Prix de Lausanne, Gomes joined American Ballet Theatre in 1997. He became a Soloist in 2000 and a Principal in 2002.
When not performing, rehearsing, or travelling the world as a guest artist (at the Royal Ballet in London, at the Mariinsky, Mikhailovsky, and Bolshoi in Russia, at his hometown Theatro Municipal, and elsewhere), Gomes lives in NYC's Hell's Kitchen with Lua, his dachshund. He is a delight, whether candidly discussing the joys of particular roles, the vicissitudes of his devotion to classical dance, or the positive influence of a gay uncle while he was growing up (Gomes famously came out in a 2003 Advocate cover story titled "Romeo is Gay"). The film includes ravishing clips of Gomes in Swan Lake, Don Quixote, Giselle, and La Bayadère, and interviews with ballet luminaries such as Alexei Ratmansky, Kevin McKenzie, Misty Copeland, and David Hallberg.
Hailed by The Hollywood Reporter as "engrossing... An intimate study...fluidly edited and shot with an excellent eye for both the exertion and the seeming effortlessness of the dance sequences" the film was the winner of the Audience Award at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, and has participated in numerous international film festivals.

The 2018 Volkl Mantra Skis with binding setup is the ultimate bundle for expert level skiers looking for one of the best skis ever made. The Mantra has undergone some changes over the years, but is only graphically different for 17-18. Volkl has continued its dominance in the expert level one ski quiver department and with good reason. The 2018 Volkl Mantra is an ideal choice for skiing fast, taking chances, and ripping the entire mountain. Speed is a big reason why we all love skiing so much. It's incredibly important to have the proper tools on your feet so that skiing fast is stable and smooth and controlled. The 2018 Volkl Mantra is one of the best in the business. Thanks to its wood core and dual metal layers, the Mantra is stiff enough to handle some top end MPH's and barely flinch. Risk is an inherent aspect of the sport of skiing. You'll never progress unless you take risks, and you won't take risks if your skis are below your ability level. The 2018 Volkl Mantra has a full rocker shape that allows you to push your boundaries perhaps past comfort and still feel in control. The tips engage easily into the turn and the tails don't lock you in-unless you want them to. As a result, the skier has all the control of the equation and is able to calculate and assess risk accurately. The Volkl Mantra has long been known as an all-mountain ski, and we couldn't agree more. At 100mm underfoot, the Mantra bridges the gap between on-trail and off-piste, creating a perfect shape for an all-mountain charger. You'll never find an aspect of terrain in which the Mantra fails. The 2018 Volkl Mantra ski and binding setup is the ideal tool for expert skiers looking to ski the entire hill.

If Tiesto is behind it, it's got to be pretty great. Right?
DJ/Producer, FTampa just released his new track 'Strike It Up' through Tiesto's Musical Freedom complete with music video. If you were lucky enough to make it to Creamfields you may recognize the progressive piece from Tiesto's set. This is a step in a new direction as FTampa is more known for his big room drops, however I think it's working for him. I can't help but imagine i'm in a melodic wave of people at a music festival, deep into a dance groove when listening to this track. It's the perfect energy booster and booty shaker. ;)

Chase Hollywood Stunt Driver
Chase Hollywood Stunt Driver
by BAM! Entertainment
Platform: Xbox
ESRB Rating: Teen
Check price @ amazon.com
• Hollywood stunt car action
• 4 unique movie sets
• Spectacular movie-style special effects
• Take the role of Chase Corrada, a young sexy stuntwoman
• Drive cars, motorcycles, and a 3-wheeled Ramen delivery Tuk-Tuk
Customer Reviews:
Fun . . . but not for long., November 10, 2002
Reviewer: Walter Reade from Appleton, WI United States
Chase is easy to pick up and fun to play. The game contains 15 different vehicles and 4 different movie sets (a total of 16 different scenes). The object of each scene is to finish certain objectives (low time, number of flips or rolls, collecting objects, etc.) for which you are awarded points. Accumulating points unlocks next levels.
Unfortunately the game is rather linear, giving the game little replay value. And it is not particularly challenging. While the game is certainly good, it is far from great. I'd recommend a rental.
better than stuntman, September 25, 2002
Reviewer: L Metz from Miami, Florida
after playing stuntman and withstanding the torture of my... purchase i was relieved that Chase was not another such mistake. I thouroughly enjoyed the game as it has a much better stunt system than Stuntman aswell as loading times that werent as annoying. If you like arcade driving games and want something different then your average racing game then I highly recommend Chase.

Hello everyone,
today I am going to share a little tip with you. You know what separates a good monument photo from a snapshot that anybody can take? Tourists!
Generally the photos that poeple love from famous locations appear almost toursit free... which of course is either very (very very...) difficult or even impossible.
So what can you do?
In this post I am going to share the easy tip, in the next one we'll go over a more complex one.
So today's easy tip is, find an angle that hides the tourists:
The reason I took this photo from a low angle and with a cactus as foreground element is not only for composition, there was tourists all over the place in front of this Church in Oaxaca (Mexico). By placing my camera carefully I was able to get rid of all of them, no photoshop involved!
So next time you are trying to shoot a crowded place try to look for interesting objects to hide the unwanted tourists.
Next up, removing tourists when there is no object to hide them, stay tuned!

**September is my birthday month. Each day up until my birthday, I will be sharing a picture of my younger self. With the photos I will write something I would want my younger self to know. You can read the first part here. **
Hey spider braids! You're really rocking that teddy bear sweatshirt. I think this was our favorite shirt, and we wore it a little too much.
This year you are in a new city and a new school. Mom finished up at college so you made the trip across state to live with her. It will take a little bit of time to get acquainted and get into the groove.
You are in second grade now and your teacher is Ms. Richards. She is a little bit strange, but she is nice. The biggest problem you have in school right now is talking. On your report card your teacher wrote:
"I keep moving Donna's seat because she keeps talking. Everytime I move her seat she makes a new friend, and talks to them." Ms. Richards
Yes, you have been blessed with the gift of gab. Talking in class will be a problem you will have the rest of your school years. You will have to learn when to speak and when to listen.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Some people will try to make you feel bad about it. You will have to ignore that. Having the gift of conversation and your genuine friendliness is what makes you so approachable. You make friends easily, and make people feel comfortable. You are a friend to all. Especially to those that are friendless.
On one of your first bus rides home this year you picked a seat by an older boy who was sitting by himself. You asked if you could sit by him. He looked at you with sad hurt eyes. You didn't know what that look was but when you are older you will understand his pain.
Some of the kids on the bus yelled "Are you SURE you want to sit next to HIM?! He has bugs!" You looked him up and down perplexed. You said "I don't see any bugs on him!" You sat down and asked him his name. His name was Harold.
You didn't understand why the kids were mean to him. This is called bullying. You must know that bullying is never ok. When you are a bit older you will try to "fit in" and bully people that are your friends. Donna, we know better. We can do better.
This year you learn that words can hurt. You see people using words to hurt others. You must always choose your words wisely. We cannot take back things that we say. Words are a powerful thing. Your words must always build, not break, for words have a lasting effect.
You have a sharp memory. You will remember words that were said to you that were less than desireable. You must learn to forgive. People say and do things when they are scared, and hurt. When people are angry they often lash out. The hurtful words that people have said to you have nothing to do with you. For the next several years you will hear unkind words about you by those around you. This will scar you until you heal from it. You must heal, and you must forgive.

THE SUPREME Court's Hobby Lobby v. Burwell decision has elicited a lot of legitimate alarm — and political grandstanding.
Senate Democrats have latched onto the issue of women's health, with Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (Nev.) embarrassingly blasting the "five white men" who voted to open a wide exception to Obamacare's contraception mandate. Justice Clarence Thomas, who is black, voted in the majority, and Congress itself passed the law that the court relied upon to render its decision. A lot of current and former lawmakers had a hand in Hobby Lobby, too.
Senate Democrats also introduced a bill this week that would require corporations to comply with all federal public-health requirements regardless of their owners' religious objections. It would be useful to ensure that religious employers can't evade requirements to provide coverage for vaccinations, blood transfusions, contraception and other important health-care products and procedures. But it's widely accepted that the bill has scant chance of passing, in part because the Obama administration will probably find a way to work around the Hobby Lobby ruling to supply contraception anyway. Expect little but campaign slogans to emerge from this episode.
A sore outstanding question, though, is the extent to which the decision affects a realm of policy that the Oval Office can't address satisfactorily on its own: anti-discrimination rules. The problem came into focus this week when several gay rights groups withdrew their support from the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), a bill that is supposed to offer workplace protections to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans. The act passed the Senate this year and is sitting in the House. It contains a religious-exemption clause explicitly allowing religious employers to discriminate in their hiring practices based on sexual orientation or gender identity. The worry is that if the Supreme Court can conclude that corporations owned by religious people don't have to provide insurance covering contraception, perhaps the justices would allow all sorts of businesses to discriminate against gays and lesbians, sourcing that religious exemption to ENDA itself. For that, there would be no easy administrative patch.
This question concerns a live bill, some form of which is bound to pass — if not in this Congress, then eventually. We can't blame the activist groups who dropped their support for the current language. Any exemption to employment discrimination rules should not apply far past the pulpit. But the Supreme Court has signaled that it is willing to aggressively apply faith-based exceptions to general laws.
Still, more than half the states lack workplace protections for gay, lesbian and transgender Americans. That is why we sympathize with the advocates who are not ready to give up on the bill. They and their allies in Congress should push to strengthen its language, removing any possibility that it would condone the sort of workplace discrimination it seeks to eliminate, and continue to work for its passage.

Candidates rescheduling job interviews is part and parcel of the job as a Recruitment Consultant. With the British heat wave this week and the sun beckoning after work, interview cancellations are on the up. In our office we have had some great explanations over the last week; extending a holiday, locking themselves in their house, or finding themselves in Australia, or even saying they didn't have the right shoes for the interview. We all love a good imaginative excuse, but sometimes it is better to give your consultant days and times that are achievable, and believable!
Month: June 2015
OPINION: The counter offer……
"My current company have made me a great offer to stay and I've decided to accept". These words strike fear into the hearts of many recruiters and in turn leave us with a very difficult message to take back to our client. As a head hunter that specifically targets talented and valued employees, rather than those who are out of work or desperate to leave their current company, at Ferrari Healy we are more likely to face counter offers than contingency recruiters. This is therefore a subject that is close to our hearts.
You would struggle to spend much time on LinkedIn and avoid reading posts on this subject, often written by recruiters, who are keen to push the agenda that allowing yourself to be bought back is always a bad thing. Clearly they have self-interested motives for pushing this particular message but are they right?
The short answer is that sometimes it is right to change your mind, other times it is not. We won't bore you with the huge lists of reasons why many recruiters will tell you not to accept a buy back from your current employer. Frankly some of them are so far-fetched, such as "even if you stay your employer will never trust you again because you looked at other companies," that it weakens their overall argument. Not surprisingly these recruiters are often the ones that pressurised you so much to accept the job in the first place that it was never likely to stick!
What is useful though is to look at some of the main arguments and highlight the areas of grey that exist. The classic reason given for not accepting the counter offer goes something like this, "why does it take an offer from another company to get your current employer to finally value you? Surely you will face the same situation in the future when you feel like you want more money or responsibility?"
Clearly there is a fair amount of truth in this sentiment but one important point should be made here in defence of your current employer. With the best will in the world there aren't many companies who proactively sit down key staff members and tell them that they would like to give them more money, it's not a particularly sound commercial strategy. Plus, there is after all a time for these types of conversations, it's called an annual appraisal.
We feel strongly that if you have recently had an appraisal and been dissatisfied with the outcome, then pursued a new opportunity which resulted in a job offer you really should not accept a counter offer. Your current employer in this scenario has pretty clearly demonstrated that they DO need the threat of losing you to finally value you at your market rate. This is exactly the type of business that will continue to treat you in this way.
If however you work for a company that has treated you well historically then the scenario is different. What we would urge candidates to do in this situation is at the very least start conversations with your current employer around your expectations for your next appraisal, both financial and developmental, BEFORE you explore a new opportunity. Good employers will be keen to talk to you about your own goals and manage your expectations throughout the year so you should have a good sense about whether you will be able to fulfil them in your current business.
One other factor to be very aware of is whose best interests are being served when your employer tries to buy you back? On this point we agree with many of the other pieces written. Without doubt it suits your employer best, losing you is potentially a very expensive problem to fix; recruitment fees, training new hires, downtime whilst these things happen etc. Don't forget also that your line manager's own reputation (and salary reviews) is often based on their ability to retain staff. Does the fact that your boss potentially gets more than you from a successful counter offer mean you shouldn't accept it though? Of course not! It may well be a win-win for both sides. Important though to be aware of their motivations!
As an aside here a good rule of thumb is to only accept an opportunity that you genuinely want. If you are accepting because you intend to merely use it as leverage what happens if your current employer simply smiles and wishes you well with the move? You find yourself having to follow through with a move that you don't want!
We have talked a lot about your current employer but what of your prospective employer? Something that a few candidates have little regard for when doing a U-turn is the predicament it places the company in that offered them a job in the first place. Clearly this company acted in good faith, invested lots of time interviewing a shortlist of candidates, probably rejected all of their other candidates when you accepted the job, announced your arrival to their team and now face the task of undoing those announcements and starting the process all over again. Now it's these guys facing a potentially expensive bill for your actions.
That then raises a question that is often not discussed, is it morally acceptable to change your mind? Again there is not a clear cut answer, and many will say that morals don't come into a black and white decision about your own future. We have certainly experienced situations in the last few years where the decision to accept a counter offer has 'felt' morally questionable. This can be particularly exacerbated if a change of heart happens a long time after the original acceptance. Believe it or not it isn't unheard of for candidates to change their mind a good couple of weeks after accepting, and in one extreme instance three months after the acceptance! There has to be a point at which your word means something. Be mindful of the fact that your behaviour is directly linked to your reputation and as such should be impeccable.
Are these changes of heart always the candidate's 'fault' or is there some shared responsibility? Undoubtedly the answer to that question is yes, recruiters, and employers for that matter, can do more to head off these potential issues much earlier in the process. At Ferrari Healy we spend a significant part of the interview process discussing an individual's motivations, probing their satisfaction in their current role, assessing the potential for their current employer to fix their perceived 'issues' and on numerous occasions advising them to sit down and discuss things with their current boss before committing to making a move. Often potential candidates need career advice first and foremost before deciding if looking at the open market is the right way to go. A recruiter who is thorough on these questions should experience fewer counter offers.
One final thought then for the candidate who decides to change their mind and stay with their current business. Make sure you manage the delivery of that message in the right way, the 'other' company may not be happy with your decision but at least they will respect the fact that you handled it properly. Sending a note directly to them to apologise for the time they have wasted but explaining your decision is the right thing to do, it's never wise to burn bridges.
No piece on this particular question would be complete without some statistics. We obviously handle counter offers regularly and whilst most of the time our process ensures that the original acceptance remains firm, from time to time they do result in a candidate deciding to stay with their current employer. We make a point of keeping in touch with these candidates because clearly they represent a pool of individuals who may well regret their decision to stay put as the promised 'changes' sometimes fail to materialise. Our findings suggest that just over 60% of these people are talking to us again about exploring their options within six months of accepting a counter offer. These stats are also likely to be lower than reality when you consider the fact that many of those individuals are too embarrassed to admit that they got their decision wrong and as such don't tell us!

TODAY: Modern job titles or jibberish?
Mischief maker, web ninja, digital prophet, entrepreneur in residence, happiness advocate – modern job titles for a creative ever-evolving world or just plain jibberish? The professional equivalent of a silly personal email address, these titles have, over the last few years, become more cliche than creative, and the first question anyone with these job roles gets asked is 'what is it you actually do?' What conclusions can we draw about an individual's place within a team, and what they get up to day to day, other than they do not a lot? And what's a client supposed to think when they clock that they are meeting with a mischief maker that afternoon?

OPINION: Removal of Salary Negotiations
Some thoughts from Dale Randolph in our Australian office…
This month the current CEO of Reddit, Elen Pao revealed to the Wall Street Journal that in a bid to level the gender wage gap, they would no longer be negotiating on salaries for new employees. Her argument follows the assumption that women are less effective negotiators and are less likely to ask in the first place.
From my experience, salary negotiations are something that both sexes delegate to their recruitment consultant with enthusiasm. It's similar to a double or nothing bet, except there's no 'nothing'. I am yet to see a prospective employer take an offer off the table for the sole reason of being asked for a higher wage.
For us headhunters, salary negotiations are a double-edged sword. On one hand a bigger package for our candidate leads to a bigger fee. The flip side to this is that if you value your client relationships (like we do!), salary negotiations are a sure-fire way to put them under stress.
All clients are under pressure to keep their costs down, especially when they are paying for recruitment services. If a candidate is just asking for more money because "Why not? I've got nothing to lose and everything to gain", then you could find yourself in the less than savoury position of trying to find more money for someone that clearly doesn't warrant the pay-rise.
It is important for the recruiter to act as the gatekeeper to what is fair and what is not, we have enough experience to very quickly assess what someone's market rate is. More than once I have told candidates that I won't ask for more money, because they won't get it. When your recruiter is saying that you're not going to get more, then you can be pretty sure that they aren't kidding you. Trust me, no one else (family excluded) wants you to get a higher signing salary than your recruiter.
What then of Elen Pao's assertion that females are less likely to negotiate than their male counterparts? Over the last 3 years at Ferrari Healy in Australia, 1 in 2.5 females (after being offered a position) have asked us to negotiate for more money. For those unaware, the recruiter handles these conversations on behalf of their candidates. This is compared to 1 in 6 males. I must stress at this point that the sample size we're dealing with here is relatively small but it's still quite a significant difference, right? Let's have a think about why this may be…
Some women might consider themselves to be underpaid as a result of not negotiating for a fair salary in their previous position. This could explain why they are so eager to ask for more when represented through the process. Obviously this does not apply to all women out there, and will insult some that are expert negotiators, but I think the general consensus would support my musings.
One important point to make here is that in our initial screening process, men seem more likely to establish the minimum salary that they would be prepared to move jobs for. If we think this is going to cause problems later on in the interview process (i.e. if they want more than the level we were briefed on by the client) then we'll flag this with the employer straight away. If the candidate is then eventually offered the position, our client is aware of what they will accept, so potentially the initial offer is likely to be more generous therefore negating the desire to negotiate further.
Another suggestion, which is so self-serving that it needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, is that recruitment consultants help to level the playing field. If one of the main reasons for salary inequities between genders is ability and desire to negotiate, then we can eliminate this variable by deferring the responsibility to a third party.
With all this in mind, let's have a look at this from the point of view of the hiring companies. If to eliminate the gender-wage gap, you have to hire employment consultants to negotiate fairly, you are not only going to be paying your women more money, but you're also paying a recruitment fee for the privilege. Alternatively, you could take Reddit's stance and remove both of those added costs. At face value it sounds like a cost-effective way of solving this problem.
These issues are always polarising, and I'm still making up my mind as to where I stand. Personally, I nearly had my head bitten off back at university for suggesting that in certain situations (i.e. the board of a multi-national organisation) women might benefit from a policy of equal male to female recruitment. The majority of those that disagreed with me were female, and their main point was that it would undermine the success of women if their positions were seen as having been acquired by necessity to adhere to policies, rather than on merit.
Perhaps a compromise between the two would be best, where the board is built of equal parts male to female, then the policy is relaxed once both sexes have an equal say in the matter – I don't know. However, what I learned in that situation can be directly applied to this issue. By making the removal of salary negotiations about empowering women, there is the distinct possibility that it will create a resentment of women for limiting potential reward for both sexes; in turn doing more harm than good.
My parting point is this – effort and ability has no gender. If you limit the potential rewards for people that exhibit both in abundance, then you may end up discouraging the very people you are trying to help succeed.

Our take on the issues in Milton Keynes this week.
A growing city needs to reach for the best.
Unfortunately it appears that our city's education system is not managing to do that.
Almost a third of the secondary schools in Milton Keynes are performing below the standard required by the government.
There will be many reasons why this is the case, and we don't doubt that some excellent work goes on in our schools – our teachers, parents, school staff and above all our students deserve nothing but support.
But unfortunately this report card has to read: Must Do Better.
>If our city has one thing it is a big heart – so many readers will have felt their hearts sink at the story on page 8 about the two neglected horses left chained up in Kiln Farm.
If you know who is caring for or at least feeding the horses, please let the authorities know.

The semantics of the word justice. Who would have thought that the word justice would have negative connotations…I was in a workshop when one of the participants had a negetive reaction to the word justice. She felt like it was passing judgement.
Especially since very often in working on green and sustainability related topics we are trying to convince people to be more just, are we potentially allienating them because of this word choice?
If she, who was open and interested enough in sustainability to attend a program to talk about this topic, I wonder how others are potentially reacting to the feeling of being judged.

An acquaintance, knowing my ferocity in advocating for a world of 100% natural (or, at a minimum, biodegradable) fibers—a person with some understanding of how synthetic fibers poison the environment—asked, what would you substitute for those amazing yoga pants, stretchy and sexy, showing off all the contours of the body within them? As in, how will we (of whatever orientation) manage our erotic pleasures of whatever gender body, if that body stops strutting its stuff in clingy, never-sagging cloth? Cloth that shows off asses and thighs, chests and shoulders...you know.
Lycra and spandex, sometimes in tiny percentages (< 5%) give fabric, knits and wovens, its stretch. Before there were lycra and spandex, people depended on fabric construction for stretchiness. Knit cloth—like your t-shirt fabric—has give, expands and rebounds, up to a point. We've all had clothing that stretched permanently out of shape, or, like some wool sweaters, shrunk down, closing the open space of the knit as the wool kept interlocking into itself (thanks to hot water), into a a small size and stiffness well beyond what's wearable.
My friend asked, in your ideal world, will all the yoginis have saggy-butt leggings made of hemp? Oh! Don't you hear the heavy, sad sigh in this question?
What can we do for my friend and his pleasures? You could argue, you might, that the trace amounts of stretch fibers aren't *too* harmful. Maybe. I don't really believe it. The accumulated "trace amounts" of all our human-invented toxins are measurable and problematic.
Beyond trace amounts or high volume synthetics, I've tried to buy natural fiber leggings and yoga pants and it's not easy. Another, richer approach: Let's talk about the fashion, and what we desire to see and experience. Can we make sexy cloth, that clings gorgeously but isn't toxic? That we can throw in the shredder to turn it back into raw fiber (yes, this is technically possible though there is as yet no system for it) without melting being a problem (because our trace amounts of lycra and spandex will mess up our machine!).
I advocate for alternative styles, cloth that is soft and sensuous, perhaps translucent, so that the hints of body underneath cloth substitute amazingly for our tight leggings habit. I want this to be, I don't know how to make it so. I wish everyone understood the damage they do every time they wear their fleece and polyester. If you knew, and you had luscious choices, maybe you'd choose something else?

Disaster link to ride on defence network
Disaster link to ride on defence network
New Delhi: India is setting up a secure communications backbone that will ride on a proposed Armed Forces network to ensure that key government offices aren't cut off in the event of disasters such as the 2004 tsunami or terrorist attacks such as the one in Mumbai last year.
About 5,000 offices will be connected to the Rs10,000 crore alternate optical fibre cable (OFC) network being built for the defence services by state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL).
Home ministry officials said the government initiative to build this level of redundancy in the system was unprecedented and would mark a quantum leap in having secure communication lines in the face of law and order problems and disasters.
"This is the first time essential offices are being linked at the national level, and it will be operational in time of emergency," said a senior official in the home ministry, who did not want to be identified.
The system will also be used in case regular means of communication are not considered secure enough to transmit sensitive data by offices that are given access to OFC, said a senior official in the department of telecommunications (DoT) on condition of anonymity, as he is not authorized to speak to the media.
The two state-owned telecom firms are building a 40,000km OFC network that will cost the Army and the Navy Rs8,893 crore and the Air Force Rs1,077 crore.
The alternate OFC for the Air Force, on which work has already begun, is expected to be completed by October. The Air Force is expected to move to this network by March 2010 after the necessary testing is completed.
The plan to open the network up to government offices may be discomfiting for the Armed Forces, given that the move may increase vulnerability.
"A requirement for defence forces globally is that the alternate communication network has to be secure at both the end-point and within the network," said Varadarajan Sridhar, research fellow at Sasken Communication Technologies Ltd. "That is why optical fibre networks are built to provide secure communications the world over. But they will have to evolve some sort of mechanism so as to not allow the security requirements to cause a rise in the cost of the network."
The DoT official said the home ministry would have to set stringent conditions for access. "The exact terms of use and accessibility will be defined by the home ministry...they will also have to ensure that defence security is not compromised."
The Armed Forces will shift most of their communication needs to the OFC network, allowing them to vacate large amounts of scarce and valuable spectrum needed for mobile phone services in the country.
The main reason for connecting the network to the ministries and their offices is that, apart from security being ensured by virtue of this being a defence project, it won't be dependent on the existing telecom network, another senior official said on condition of anonymity. "This OFC will be better than any private operator in reach and will have separate manpower for management, maintenance and operations."
The Armed Forces are expected to vacate at least 45MHz of spectrum, comprising 25MHz needed for third-generation (3G) mobile services and the rest for existing 2G mobile services. Bharti Airtel Ltd, the country's largest telecom services provider, has a maximum of 10MHz in its mobile service areas.
According to a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the defence ministry and DoT, the Armed Forces will vacate the spectrum over 36 months. Two blocks of 10MHz of 3G airwaves and one block of 2G frequencies were to have been released at the time of signing the MoU, but that hasn't taken place yet, according to an internal DoT note. The rest is to be released based on the progress made by the alternate OFC.
BSNL is expected to issue the request for participation for building OFC in a month's time. MTNL is building the network in Delhi and Mumbai, the areas of its operation, while BSNL will execute the project in the rest of the country.
MTNL will first connect all key ministries to OFC in Delhi. The rest of the integration, with offices across the country, will take place after BSNL finishes the work. The project is mandated to be completed in 36 months after the MoU is signed.
Sridhar said costs would need to be considered carefully. "Having an alternate communication system is a good move as it relieves the traditional microwave communications (mobile telephony) in an emergency. But it has to be used prudently. This OFC has been in the pipeline for four years now, and the cost estimates have risen from Rs1,300 crore to Rs10,000 crore," he said.

CEO Blog 16-17
Issue 19
This week features FIFA's sin bin idea, Watford's values and Grow the Game funding.
It's a sin (bin)
Gianni Infantino, the President of FIFA, said when he was elected that he would be looking to be innovative. The story this week that FIFA is considering using a sin bin for yellow card offences was big news for the game.
The concept works well in Rugby Union, and a variation has also been used in 5 a side football. On paper there are many benefits, notably being simpler to manage for referees, reducing administration for officials across the game and also reducing money collected in fines.
The key will be establishing consistency in the way it is implemented, and also ensuring that sanctions for on field ill-discipline are dealt with robustly to try to improve behavior and reduce the level of offending.
It will need thinking through, but the principle looks good for the grassroots game.
Watford's values a credit to the game, and to Graham Taylor
I was struck by 3 pieces of news involving Watford this week. The club's impressive win at The Emirates was the first noteworthy event, but this was pushed into perspective by the funeral of Graham Taylor.
Such was the stature of the man, and the huge impact on the football club and the local community, that Graham's funeral was covered by a live feed on the BBC's website. The people of Watford came out in theirs 1000's to pay tribute, and to say a fond farewell to a man who had re-written the club's history.
Graham's footballing achievements have been well documented, but what strikes me as he leaves us is that inherently he was an incredibly decent, hard-working and caring man who saw himself as a servant of the game. There aren't many around who extol these virtues in the era of mega money, huge TV deals and player power.
Maybe there are more examples of decent values than we think. Adlene Guedioura left Watford on transfer window day to move to Boro', and he paid tribute to Watford and the fans he is leaving on Twitter.
His Tweet was brilliant, and shows that some players do build genuine and lasting bonds with their clubs and supporters, and moving on really means something to them.
This might well say something about the values Graham Taylor instilled at Watford, and that his legacy lives on through these values.
Grow the Game
Cambridgeshire FA and the other 49 counties launched the Football Foundation's Grow the Game funding opportunity this week.
It's a great scheme, with grants of £1500 available to establish new teams to help us increase participation. The deadline for applications is the 29th March.
It was clear that club football is alive and well in Ely this week. Although Ely City's progress in the FA Vase came to an end, the record crowd of 646 showed that there is great enthusiasm within local communities for the local football club. It was great to see.
Until next week.

The new trailer for filmmaker/Mad Max mastermind George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road hit YouTube earlier today.
And we're happy to report that it's completely insane. There are huge, non-CG-looking explosions, clown-faced psychos jumping off spiky tanks and on to spiky jeeps, enough sand to make Dubai blush, spear-brandishing bald men, skull-themed gear sticks and a wicked fleet of dune buggies.
Also, it has post-apocalyptic Bane (which is funny because Tom Hardy is in the movie):
But enough talk:

Shortly after Josh Rosen declared for the 2018 NFL draft, USC quarterback Sam Darnold followed in his footsteps. Darnold made the news official with an Instagram post on Wednesday evening.
As they lined up for their field goal attempt, the Jaguars jumped and were called for a neutral zone infraction on the play, giving the Bills a first-and-goal at the 1-yard line:
Two street performers strum fiddles under ornate cast-iron balconies in the French Quarter of New Orleans as Alvin Kamara strolls through the streets. He walks past art galleries, voodoo stores and antique shops. Fans follow behind, the horde continually growing, all ages and genders and ethnicities, the whole city chasing after him. Chefs come out of restaurants with aprons on, asking for pictures. "Rookie of the Year!" is a frequent greeting. An elderly man tells him he already has plane tickets to Minnesota for the Super Bowl; the man's wife says that she was the one who sent Kamara a box of Airheads last week. "Thank you so much from our whole city," she beams, hugging him tight.
He continues through the eccentric scene that is Jackson Square, past the tarot card readers and the psychics and the men dressed up as female pirates and the women painted bronze who stand on carts and pose as statues. Two adolescent street drummers ask if he could help them pull apart their buckets that got stuck together; Kamara stops and spends a few minutes tugging, straining, using his foot as leverage until he finally pries them apart. They thank him and he continues, through cobblestone corridors, past Creole cottages, the whole city of New Orleans at his feet, adoration awaiting on every corner.
Andrews said she told Payton, "You have to tell him." Payton then said he would tell him and let him know he had the choice to stay or go.
Swinging back to that Seahawks offense . . . the good news is that they made some history a week ago: Seattle became the third team since 1950 to have more penalty yards than offensive yards in a game and still win. The bad news is that, over the last three games, they rank 32nd in the NFL in total offense (228.7 yards per game, less than the Bryce Petty-led Jets and the Savage/Yates/Heinicke-led Texans). And those numbers were boosted by Russell Wilson Bortlesing Blake Bortles in Bortles' own backyards (in the Week 14 loss at Jacksonville, Wilson threw three interceptions as Seattle fell behind 27-10 before TD passes of 61 and 74 yards in the final 10 minutes salvaged the stat line).
On the replayed down, Adoree' Jackson muffed the punt, which was recovered by the Chiefs:
It was quite the NFL's version of "ball don't lie." Or at least, it appeared it was going to be that way.
After being given a second chance, the Chiefs ran three plays resulting in a loss of two yards. On fourth-and-12, Harrison Butker attempted a 48-yard field goal from the Tennessee 30, and it was no good.
So by the end of everything happened, all that happened was that the Chiefs gave the Titans nine yards.
Football can be weird at times, and it's always unpredictable.
