Bristol's Blog About Her Personal Struggles Overcoming Domestic Violence And A Life Of Ratchetry Is Quite Possibly The Best Blog We've Ever Published
A year ago this month I messaged a woman on Facebook who had been making some comments that were both insightful and amusing, asking her if she'd be interested in blogging. It wasn't the first time I tried this, as it's the same way I recruited both Merrimack Turtlebae and North Shore Turtlebabe. But this woman's writing was different. I'd never brought anyone on board quite like her, and she quickly showed what she could do when she published the blogs exposing Michael Cadena. Although all the bloggers amuse me in some way, and I do enjoy almost everything they write, Bristol's writing is unique, passionate, and comes from a place of understanding. Contacting her was one of the best decisions I've ever made for the blog, and she's been an invaluable asset throughout our troubled times. Last night she published a blog on TBS that I am going to publish here as well. Her version contains the f word a lot, and TB Daily News doesn't publish the f word, so I had to change it around a little, but the point remains the same.
I did a live stream Sunday, and towards the end, someone asked me…
"Bristol, how did you come to be so invested in and passionate about Turtleboy?"
I'm paraphrasing at this point, but boy – what a loaded question that is. I try not to talk about myself too much while I'm on this crazy journey I was blessed to be swept up in over a year ago when I got a random, unexpected message from one of my long time idols – the one and only Clarence Woods Emerson. "Your comments make me laugh," it said, "Would you ever want to try blogging?"
I simply understood then, as I do now, it's not me you all come to read. Who am I, really? No one gives a f***. And I wouldn't want you to, or expect it. I'm simply not important. But to answer a question like that, really answer it….well, it's simply impossible not to delve in to who I am underneath the biting, venomous, and crude humor to who I am. And put simply, for a long time, I was an immature little girl who simply did not give a fuck. Exhibit A.
This is a mugshot, and it is mine, from over a decade ago when I was around 19, almost 20. I was picked up for a warrant on a traffic stop not far from where I was living at the time, in a tiny, run down apartment off Crowell Road in Chatham. Earlier today, Seth Thurston of Albuquerque, New Mexico dredged it up and posted it as a reaction to what he apparently felt was a slight to him on our stream (He's an idiot, and it was.).
But he missed so much context, and that context really explains who I was at the time.
You see, approximately four months prior to the traffic stop, I was stopped for some traffic infraction I can't quite remember, and I wasn't wearing my seatbelt. I just didn't give a f*** enough about the potential danger of being sent hurdling through the glass of my windshield in an accident enough to buckle up. The officer issued me an $80 ticket, and I should have paid it. But I didn't. I just didn't give a f***. And there it sat, ignored and unpaid, until the Registry of Motor Vehicles suspended my license. I should have stopped driving until I cleared it up. But I didn't give a f***.
Now, when the RMV suspends your license, eventually it shows up when your plates are run. Of course, you're given a bit of a "grace period" before your registration is also revoked. This is NOT a free pass to keep operating your motor vehicle. But I didn't give a f***. I kept driving, and one day, with a friend of mine in the passenger seat, I was again pulled over. My father is a longtime town employee and what you'd call a "good ol' boy" in town, so the cops were generally a little bit more friendly with me. The officer checked my passenger's license and sternly ordered we pull a "Chinese fire drill" and I take care of my license immediately. We obliged, and I remember adamantly assuring him that I would certainly resolve the issue. Unfortunately for me, I didn't give a f***.
So a few days later I again got pulled over, license suspension still unresolved. The cop was slightly less forgiving, but he agreed to allow me to call someone to pick up my car and simply issue a summons in lieu of arrest. That court date came and went – I didn't give a f***.
And so I was pulled over a third time, this time with neither a valid license nor registration, and an active bench warrant. This time I started to give a half a f***… but only as I was cuffed, placed in the back of a cruiser, and booked at this station. This time was obviously different for me – it was the officer who didn't give a f***. Not my proudest moment for sure. And, oh my God. That mug shot.
That is the face of a classic Turtleboy famous ratchet. I deserve your ridicule. Truly.
There's also some context that Mr. Thurston left out surrounding that, however. Because if you pan up, just a little, on that days arrest, you may notice….
Another arrest, a man, from the same address as mine. The reason I looked extra disheveled. You see, my license wasn't the only think I didn't give a f*** about at 19. My personal safety was low on the list of things to give a f*** about as well. That day, as I was driving with no license and no registration, it was for some semblance of a reason. I was attempting to flee from my abuser. And as I sat in that cell and waited for bail I knew was not going to come, I didn't really give a f***. Because for at least a day, I knew I wasn't going to be hit. I should have given more of a f***, though. By 19, I had a child. A child I couldn't protect, because I couldn't even protect myself. I wanted to give a f***, I really did. I just didn't know how. I didn't have any control.
I did see my day in court, and I saw those charges dismissed. And for the next nearly three years I was stuck in a cycle of being so powerless, I felt like I couldn't give a f*** if I tried. That's another piece of context "Bill Daddo" missed. The part where I would pull myself up, barely, and crawl to the point where I really, really gave a f***. I had two kids to protect, but I still couldn't protect myself. He missed this headline, in 2011.
Taunton Daily Gazette: "Police say it took five Taser strikes before they were able to handcuff an out-of-control 31-year-old city man, accused of brutalizing a woman in the presence of her two young children early Thursday night.
Steven J. Young, formerly of 458 Weir St., apt. 3, is charged with domestic assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (shod foot), assault and battery on a police officer and witness intimidation. He's being held on $25,000 cash bail at Bristol County House of Correction after his arraignment Friday in Taunton District Court. Patrolman Jayson LaPlante reports having witnessed Young punch the 23-year-old woman "square in the face … knocking her across the room onto the floor."
The brazen assault, LaPlante says, occurred after the officer encountered a "heavily breathing" Young in the apartment's kitchen. As soon as the two men made eye contact, Young allegedly rushed into a bedroom where the woman was crying, head in hands, and cold-cocked her in front of the Taunton cop. LaPlante said he deployed the dual probes of his Taser device into Young's lower back but they had no effect — after Young slammed the bedroom door shut, dislodging one of the electrical-current-transmitting probes.
Kicking the door open, LaPlante then moved in to deliver a Taser "drive stun" after Young allegedly rushed at him with his fist clenched. Young reportedly fell onto a mattress but then proceeded to kick the officer in the chest with both legs. A so-called drive stun, unlike a Taser probe's normal five-second-long effect, only has a second-long disabling effect on muscles. After being ordered to roll over on the mattress to be handcuffed Young reportedly taunted the officer, telling him to "learn your trade mother (expletive)."
He allegedly then charged LaPlante, who in the meantime had loaded a second cartridge into his Taser. A metal probe found its mark in Young's chest but only slowed him down momentarily. When Young tried getting up again he was hit with a second and finally a third Taser burst. At that point he was handcuffed and removed from the premises. Police were originally called to the apartment house at 6 p.m.. On their way in they reportedly ran into Young, who said he was leaving for the night and was warned by cops not to return. Just over an hour later police were called back when a 911 call reported a domestic disturbance on the third floor possibly involving a knife.
A female tenant allegedly told urged cops to "please hurry. He's up there killing her." A male witness later told cops Young was out of control because he had ingested at least a dozen Klonopin pills, an anti-anxiety/anti-seizure medication, and was drinking heavily. Both witnesses reported seeing Young punch his female victim all over her body. The woman, who police said was visibly shaken and was injured above her eye, reportedly refused medical attention and repeatedly asked if Young would be arrested."
That woman was me. That's the same man arrested back in 2009, on the same day I was cuffed because I couldn't find the motivation to give a f*** enough to buckle my seat belt as I let one poor decision hurtle me through the proverbial windshield straight into the world's most cringeworthy mug shot. And that, I assure you, was not the worst of the violence I had grown so accustomed to. I could have been killed, as my two children looked on in horror, on any given day for high crimes ranging from trying to go out in public with makeup on to wanting to leave the man that beat me with closed fists as he called me a whore. I was jobless. I was weak, and I hadn't so much as brushed my hair in nearly six months. But I didn't give a f***. I knew that I would rather be killed than have my children live another day in squalor watching their mother be beaten like an animal, with no good example to give them. I'm sure in opening up his identity to my detractors he'd have a lot of BS to spew about me. But he's a soulless batterer, and I have no more fear in me. I don't give a f***.
But that day is when I started to give a f***. Someone told me, "This may feel like the worst day of your life, but it's the best." It did, but it was. First, I finally gave a f*** about my kids. I swallowed my fear, and my guilt, and my shame. I followed through with the charges. And then about myself. I went to meetings, I addressed my mental health. I got a job. I learned to take pride in myself, in my home, in my career. I learned how to speak up for what I needed, I learned to say no. Time kept moving on, and I often stumbled. The mistakes I've made and the havoc I've wreaked would take ten blogs to cover. But, I never gave up. Slowly but surely, my life grew. And then one day….I realized, I really realized, how to give a f***.
Not just about myself, not just about the children I had once so sorely failed. Not just about my new husband, who treats me with love and respect, and as an equal; or the friends I had finally been able to find, or the career I had been finally able to fully realize. I learned how to give a f*** about others who were walking the path I had once trudged, feeling so alone. I learned how to give a f*** about my community, about something bigger than the little world I had carved out for myself despite whatever odds may have once been laid against me. I learned that what I had gained was meaningless and always at jeopardy if I was not always willing to give it away, to share what I had learned with others. One day, nearly 8 years after I had left the nightmare that once seemed like it would be my dismal existence until the day that I died in the dust…I was given an opportunity to share my perspective with more people than I had even imagined. And I'm learning how to use it, every day. I truly do give a f***.
I give a f*** about the voiceless, I give a f*** about giving them a voice. I give a f*** about a mother in Illinois who beat her addiction to be a mother to her child, despite the campaign of spiteful and defamatory accusation waged against her. I give a f*** about the victims of con-men who prey on trusting good souls again, and again, and again. I care about domestic violence victims, and animals, and children who can't speak up for themselves. I give a f*** about vindication, and helping to reclaim even a ounce of power to the powerless. I care about giving some semblance of power back to victims. I've reached out to addicts we've blogged about to give them a ride to rehab and a chance at redemption. I've spent hours trying to help re-home the homeless. Tonight, I drove an hour from home to speak to the grandparents of a child caught in the middle of his mother's self destructive spiral. I stayed, and I talked, and I lent my ear to a couple desperate to do the best they can by their grandson in the saddest of circumstances you can imagine, at the hands of a neglectful mother completely unwilling to change. To help when I can, to counsel as much as I can, sometimes just to listen. And in the end, I made such a meaningful connection for myself (and such a special new little friend), that it almost feels selfish to me.
I've helped raise money for those who need it, I've supported the families of those who make the ultimate sacrifice for our communities, I've given my own cell phone number out all over the internet to anyone who just might need anyone to talk to, anyone who just might need to hear about the way out. I don't talk about it often, because I don't need the accolades. I do it because I give a f***. And if I make a difference in even just one life, then I am eternally grateful to Turtleboy for giving me this opportunity. A certain degree of unfiltered reality showed me the ways in which I had to change, and if I can do that for so much as just one other person…then I feel more complete. Because, gosh darnett, I give a f***.
You may call this virtue signaling. Maybe it is. God, I hope not, because there's nothing more that I abhor. I just know what it feels like, to be downtrodden, to be hopeless, to have nowhere to turn. And that's why I'm so passionate about Turtleboy. Because through this crazy little "hate blog", I finally have an outlet to try to do some good in the world. I may just be one fat broad who couldn't so much as pay a seat belt ticket ten years ago, but today….I truly do give a f***. If this stupid, sappy, self important blog does nothing else….I hope it moves you, whoever you may be, to give a f*** as well.
And by the way, "Bill Daddo"? Judging from the numbers I'm seeing here, as far as anything you might have to say?
Nobody gives a f***.

The Halifax Examiner is providing all COVID-19 coverage for free.
There were five more positive cases of COVID-19 in Nova Scotia announced today, bringing the total to 73. That's a drop from yesterday's 13 new cases, but one of today's cases is the first that cannot be traced back to travel or someone who was in close contact with a traveller.
"We do know that one of the situations we're looking at with this case was a significant number of people getting together on St. Patrick's Day," said Dr. Robert Strang, the province's chief medical officer.
Strang was clear that the investigation into that case hasn't been completed, and that contact tracing continues. He did say, however, that there were about 50 people at the "event" — which could be anything from a bar to a dorm party to a private gathering — and "it was likely this is where our case was exposed to COVID-19."
"It's very much like detective work," he continued. "The public health nurse talks to people, starting with the case, we say 'where were you in a certain time frame, what were you doing, who were you in contact with?' And we approach it by layers and talk to those contacts. So it's about shoe leather epidemiology — getting out, talking to people, understanding where they've been and who they've been in contact with, reaching out to that next layer of people, understanding the social interactions and everyone who is defined as being in close contact with that individual and testing them."
Strang said that most of this work is done out of the public eye. "But if we do need to do a public announcement, like we did a week ago or so around the basketball tournament, we will use that public announcement to make people aware and get them to come forward."
And, just as we're about to publish, the Nova Scotia Health Authority issued a press release naming the event:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEThursday, March 26, 2020HALIFAX, N.S. – NSHA Public Health is advising of a potential public exposure to COVID-19 on March 14 at Lake Echo Community Centre (3168A Highway #7, Lake Echo).The gathering was a public event related to St. Patrick's Day with approximately 50 people in attendance. Public Health has been directly contacting attendees to advise on self-isolation protocols and next steps.While most people have been contacted, there could be some attendees Public Health is not aware of or contact information may have changed for individuals.It is anticipated anyone exposed to the virus at this March 14 event may develop symptoms up to, and including, March 28, 2020.
On Friday, March 13, the province "requested" that gatherings be limited to 150 people, but that wasn't made an order until Sunday, March 15. The order limiting gathering size to 50 people went into effect on March 18. A more recent order limits public gatherings to five people.
Updated, 7pm, in response to response to this article on social media:
People are afraid, I get it. But there's a lot of vindictiveness bordering on vigilantism right now. Please, the premier and Dr. Strang have both urged people to be kind, to reach out and help people, rather than your first inclination to be to condemn.
There was a learning curve, including in our own government.
For example, the Lake Echo St. Patrick's Day event was held on Saturday, March 14. At that time, the province had only "suggested" that public gatherings be limited to 150 people. The Lake Echo Event had about 50 people. The next day, Sunday, March 15, the premier made the 150-person limit an order, and he thanked downtown bars for voluntarily keeping to the 150-person limit in their establishments. So if the Lake Echo people were idiots or whatever your insult of choice is, so was the premier, the chief medical officer, and every level of government in Canada.
It was two weeks ago, which in this crisis was forever ago. We've all learned a lot since then. Please be kind. We can better win people over to better behaviour with kindness than by siccing the cops on them or making them the targets of social media attacks.
Because I was cut off mid-questioning during yesterday's briefing, I was given the first question today (and thanks to Tina Thibeau and staff for that). So I asked Premier Stephen McNeil the question I had intended for followup yesterday:
Bousquet: Rents will now be due six days from now, on April 1. Some time ago, on March 19, you ordered that no one be evicted as a result of COVID-19 — it was somewhat ambiguous, and I've been asking your staff and the provincial staff for a copy of that order, but it has not yet been published so far as I know. So I'm curious as to why it hasn't been published. And also, yesterday, Manitoba premier Brian Pallister declared a freeze in rent, and as I understand it, that include longtime notices, the four-month notice for rent increases. Will you consider that?
McNeil: Well, first of all, we made the order early on that no one would be evicted as it related to COVID-19. We did not say there would no evictions, that there would be other evictions that had been in place for other reasons. But if it was directly related to COVID-19, we would be involved. As you know, all those would have to go to a hearing, and that's where the role we can play without putting a blanket order on evictions across our province. We'll continue to work with landlords and I know some of our landlords have actually expressed to their tenants to come to them if there's issues related to COVID-19 and they will work with them to find their way through this.
This was an unsatisfying answer, for several reasons.
First, without a published order outlining who can and who cannot be evicted, we're left with an awful lot of room for interpretation. Must someone actually have COVID-19 to receive protection of the order, or is losing your job because your job site has shut down enough? And who's going to check?
In either case, it seems like an enormous invasion of tenants' privacy. A landlord has no right to know a tenant's health condition or, for that matter, if they've lost their job because of COVID-19. So this leaves a very murky legal ground.
Still more to the point: if someone is evicted during this COVID-19 crisis, where are they supposed to go?
Also, McNeil failed to answer my question about declaring a rent freeze.

Medical cannabis has been naturally utilized to cure conditions like pain and inflammation. Different people use medical cannabis in various forms to treat migraines. Migraine attacks transcend daily stress or headache. That illustrates why there has also been an increase in demand for feminized cannabis seeds in the market, leading to more cannabis supply.
Migraines last up to 72 hrs if not managed. Excessive noise and light can make migraines worse. While many medications can temporarily relieve the symptoms, yet if one wants to treat it through natural remedies, medical cannabis is often a credible alternative.
What is Migraine?
A migraine may be a neurological issue, including tract and brain chemical structure. Researchers believe that aside from genes, other environmental factors play an essential role. One must know that migraine is far more critical than a typical headache. Migraine causes a pulsing response on the left side of the brain. This response also follows extreme vomiting and nausea. Migraine pain can last for many hours to days. It hinders one's daily ability to practice in activities like driving or studying. Before migraine, our body gives us an alarm like visual difficulty, pain on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, and more.
What Causes Migraine?
There are several factors liable for migraines. commonest causes are:
- Genes:
Suppose you have got a case history of migraines. In that case, there are chances you would possibly also get as the gene gets transferred from one generation to a different one.
- Hormonal Changes:
As per clinical studies, any alteration within the estrogen hormone can cause migraines in women. Contraception pills can contribute to creating them seriously.
- Certain Foods:
Certain highly processed foods, artificial sweeteners can trigger migraine attacks. Home-cooked low salt food is suitable for those affected by migraines.
- Sleep Habits:
Sleeping an excessive amount or insufficient can trigger migraines. Aside from these, jetlag & changing time zones also can cause migraines.
- Weather Changes:
Changes in air quality, atmospheric pressure can contribute to migraines. Those affected by migraines should avoid excessive traveling and temperature changes.
- Skipping Meals:
Missing a meal can cause blood glucose to drop drastically. Low blood glucose can trigger a migraine. One should carry some sweet biscuits with them to avoid low blood glucose.
How Can Cannabis Help In Handling Migraine Attacks?
Studies have shown that migraine attack triggers a gentle decrease of the cnr1 gene, which encodes CB1 receptors. Moreover, it has been found that ladies are likely to possess more migraine attacks than men. It is often attributed to hormonal changes like menopause. It is often linked to an overall decrease within the endocannabinoid level. To bypass the recurrence of migraine symptoms, one can also autoflowering marijuana seeds for cultivation and extract its natural compound at their home's comfort.
CBD present in cannabis works by interacting with Cannabinoid receptors, namely CB1 & CB2.
These receptors affect the functioning of the system. CBD regulates the effect of compound anandamide within the body, which helps to scale back the sensation of pain.
According to the studies presented at the ECU academy of neurology, 48 people affected by migraine received combination doses of two compounds. One contained 19 percent of THC, and therefore the other carries CBD with 9 percent. Experts stated that a dosage as low as 100 mg did not affect migraine attacks. However, when a mixture of THC-CBD dosages was bumped to 200 mg, a 55% reduction in migraine pain was found.
Another study published within the year 2016 stated that cannabis was useful in treating migraines. One typical side effect that was profound among the bulk of individuals who used medical cannabis was drowsiness, which may be controlled by the proper dosage.
Methods Of Medical Cannabis Consumption
In the inhalation method, chemical gases undergo the lungs then get absorbed into the bloodstream. It has further classified into two ways, namely vaping & smoking.
- Smoking:
One can smoke medical cannabis. Also it can be mixed with other herbs or nicotine. However, combining nicotine with cannabis may be a personal choice.
- Vaping:
This method is run with the assistance of a device referred to as a vaporizer. This device heats the dry herb to an appropriate temperature. By this, THC & CBD, alongside other cannabinoids, are often inhaled. This method may be a safer alternative to smoking pot.
Oral Delivery
In this method, one can intake medical cannabis in various ways. These include ingestible oils, tinctures & infused food. An additional strength via cannabis concentrates can also deliver results, with a lower THC trace amount. Confirm that the cannabis products you purchase come from high-quality cannabis seeds harvest. Invite third-party certification to understand the source of the products.
Medical cannabis via CBD topical is administered through skin contact. As soon as cannabinoids get activated, it gets absorbed by the skin surface. Unlike the opposite two methods, it does not reach the bloodstream. It includes CBD balms, CBD lotions & oils that one can apply on skin to urge relief from pain, headache, and more.
Based on various studies and research so far, it looks like cannabis is often somewhat helpful in reducing migraine occurrence frequency. Researchers are now diving deep to seek out the correlation between medical cannabis and migraine. Nevertheless, one must not attempt to self medicate themselves with cannabis as there is no standardized dosage for keeping the symptoms of migraine cornered or overall wellness. Hence, it is best to consult a doctor before starting the treatment with cannabis.

Washington, March 20 (ANI): Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a naturally occurring acid found in meat and dairy products, could help treat Crohn's disease, a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), researchers say.
The Nutritional Immunology and Molecular Medicine Laboratory (NIMML) research team at Virginia Tech has found that Crohn's patients who took supplementary CLA showed noticeable improvement.
CLA is known for its anti-cancer and immune modulatory properties.
The researchers collaborated with the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepathology at University of North Carolina School of Medicine and the Wake Forest Medical Center.
"In our recent open label study of CLA as a supplement in study subjects with mild to moderate CD there was a marked improvement in disease activity and quality of life in 50 percent of the subjects. CLA was well tolerated by all of the study subjects. These findings are very encouraging and will need to be verified in a randomised controlled trial," said Professor Kim L. Isaacs, a Professor of Gastroenterology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The two main manifestations of IBD-Crohn's and ulcerative colitis-afflict over 1.4 million people in the United States. Symptoms include abdominal cramping, fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, skin and mouth ulcers, and diarrhea or constipation.
In addition, the risk of developing colorectal cancer increases by about one percent yearly in IBD patients. Currently, there is no cure for Crohn's disease and the exact causes of it aren't fully understood.
CLA affords those afflicted with mild to moderate IBD an effective treatment without the unwanted side effects of many synthetic drugs.
"Furthermore, we have demonstrated that probiotic bacteria can produce CLA locally and suppress colitis. Therefore, CLA can be administered directly in capsules or indirectly through CLA-producing probiotic bacteria," said Dr. Raquel Hontecillas, an Assistant Professor of Immunology at NIMML.
NIMML strives to develop safer and more effective therapies for human chronic inflammatory diseases from Nature's own medicine cabinet. To achieve this, NIMML uses advanced computational modelling in addition to mechanistic and clinical experimentation.
"The validation of the anti-inflammatory actions of CLA in the gut is in line with our goal because CLA is a natural fatty acid found in milk and ruminant products," said Dr. Josep Bassaganya-Riera, a Professor of Immunology, principal investigator of this human clinical trial, and the Director of the NIMML and the Center for Modeling Immunity to Enteric Pathogens.
"The fully integrated bioinformatics, nutrition and immunology experimentation capabilities of NIMML enable the acceleration of translational biomedical research from computational and mathematical modeling into the clinic. CLA is an example of an anti-inflammatory compound in a pipeline of naturally occurring and synthetic compounds (e.g., abscisic acid, eleostearic acid, terephthalanilides) with tremendous therapeutic and prophylactic potential as anti-inflammatories," added Dr. Bassaganya-Riera,
These findings, reported in the most recent edition of Clinical Nutrition1, were awarded the American College of Gastroenterology Presidential Poster of distinction for human clinical trials. (ANI)

If you are jealous of someone you may subconsciously feel that you cannot obtain what they have. As a result this can make you angry that the other person gets whatever possession / person / etc… you wanted.
Jealousy occurs when you are insecure and lack love for yourself, this causes you to feel inferior.
If you are jealous of everything about a person, including the life that they have, you unknowingly feel weaker than them. It is your Ego feeling defeated that gives you those negative and angry emotions of jealousy. This brings forward a victim mentality and gets you to start asking "Why not me? I'm a good person. Why can't I get it?" If you do not know that you can get it, then it will not come to you. You have to see it as possible.
Jealousy grows. Your feelings communicate your desires to the universe. It is then manifested into your physical life. If you are jealous of someone, the more you are around them, the more you will be provoked. The universe will then provide you with increasing reasons to be envious. For instance, If you are jealous of some girl who has the perfect boyfriend, the next day you will see the boyfriend giving her flowers. The more your jealousy grows, the more inferior you will feel. While this is happening, your life will feel stagnant.
If you were focused on your own life and what you are going to do with your own life, you would never be envious of anyone.
For example:
Jealous Statement: "Why does my friend get that good looking girl?"
Jealous Result: You keep feeling jealous and his girlfriend becomes more attractive in your eyes. You keep thinking about her and become bitter towards your friend.
Healthy Statement: "She's beautiful, I wonder if she has a single friend? Maybe they can introduce me."
Healthy Result: You meet a girl that you are attracted to and start dating her.
If you have a hard time obtaining something, it could also be that it is not actually in your best interest to obtain it. You might think it would be perfect for you but it may not be.
For example, Tyson is 30 years old and is hosting a get together with his friends. One of his friends Sam, shows up in a red Ferrari convertible. Tyson becomes jealous of Sam because he always wanted a sports car but he is still driving the car he had since college. Tyson tries to have a good time but he can't seem to shake his jealousy. Later that evening, Sam asks Tyson if he wants to go for a drive. Tyson accepts. While driving around, Tyson notices that everyone is staring at them which makes him feel uneasy. Another car pulls up alongside them and starts revving their engine in order to race. Sam gets excited about it but Tyson is feeling uncomfortable with the situation. As they drive fast, Tyson starts feeling motion sickness from being so close to the asphalt since the car is low to the ground. They pull up to a coffee shop but it takes a while for them to park because Sam doesn't want anyone to park next to him and risk dinging the Ferrari. By the time Tyson gets home, he realizes that perhaps he wouldn't have been happy with the sports car. His car has been good to him and required almost no maintenance while getting great gas mileage. It wasn't flashy but it was trouble free.

For more than twenty years, nanotechnologies have arisen a huge interest and are used in numerous fields. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the most used nanomaterials thanks to their excellent optical, mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. All along their lifecycle, CNTs may be spread in the environment during production, use, destruction, reuse or potential accidents in production units or during transportation. For this reason, it is essential to evaluate their behaviour and potential impacts on ecosystems and particularly on the terrestrial ecosystem. After a brief summary of CNT properties, synthesis methods, and applications as well as detection and characterisation techniques, this review will focus on impacts of CNTs on the terrestrial ecosystem, discussing their behaviour in soil, plants and interactions with other pollutants as well as their impacts on soil microbiota, macrobiota and plants.

By using the skills already within the make up of
any individual, the said individual is able to
tap into a resource that has already been firmly
established. In most cases this skill was either
acquired through some sort of training or perhaps
even through exposure or maybe through the trial
and error processes.
Also the possibility of the individual being
passionate about a particular skill will be an
added advantage to keeping the zest alive and
burning throughout the said project.
When someone is considered skillful in a
particular area, this skill becomes evident in
how the project is handled and completed. The
skill levels required and shown can eventually
facilitate more business referrals and thus cause
the skillful individual to be able to reap the
Also where the skill is evident, other project
participant will be able to work harmoniously and
productively to achieve the common goal of
completion. There are also times where people
really do not realize the possible skill they
possess, thus by exploring the various
possibilities available one will be able to
identify something that can attest to the
individual being skillful about.
Therefore being open to trying as many things as
possible, will eventually allow the individual to
make a fairly informed judgment call on the skill
he or she possess.
Though not an important prerequisite, having
skills does denote a certain amount of confidence

My thoughts on the 85th Academy Awards
Written by Paul Stathakis | February 25, 2013:
'A big part of the magic was missing'
This was not one of the industry's finest nights. The 85th Academy Awards seemed, from the red carpet pre-show to the ceremony itself, disorganized and lacked the enchantment of the Oscars despite a few moments of sheer magic.
Seth McFarlane proved he could stand in front of a camera and somewhat host a show as grand as the Oscars. In his tuxedo, well groomed and smirky, he looked as though he could play the part. But his opening monologue was all over the place, as if the host was torn between being crude or classy. If ever he's to return as master of ceremony, he's going to need better writers and funnier jokes. What worked best for him was his dancing and singing (except for his "We Saw Your Boobs" number). Then came a failed and pointless Nazi skit and a cold joke about Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Boothe."I would argue, however, that the actor who really got inside Lincoln's head was John Wilkes Booth," he said. The crowd was shocked with their "oh's" echoing throughout the hall. "Really? 150 years later and it's still too soon?", asked McFarlane. For a figure as highly regarded in American culture and history as Abraham Lincoln, it probably was. Wish the cameras would've cut to Steven Spielberg's reaction.
In terms of winners, there were not many surprises with exception Ang Lee taking home the award for Best Director for "The Life of Pi." With Affleck inexplicably snubbed by the Oscars (he wasn't nominated in the one category he deserved to win), it looked like Spielberg was a sure bet to win. But instead, it was Lee's name inside that envelope. No doubt the most unpredictable win of the night.
No surprises on the Best Actor and Best Actress fronts with Daniel Day-Lewis winning for "Lincoln" and Jennifer Lawrence for "The Silver Linings Playbook." Lawrence tripped on the stairs as she was making her way to the stage but luckily she was not hurt. At least, not physically. When she took the stage, the crowd gave her a standing ovation. "Thank you. You guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell and that's really embarrassing but thank you," said the charming actress.
Best Supporting Actress went to Anne Hathaway for her emotional turn in Tom Hooper's Les Misérables" while Christoph Waltz earned a statuette for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Quentin Tarantino's spaghetti-western inspired "Django Unchained." Waltz's win came as a surprise as many assumed Tommy Lee Jones would be the winner in that category. Waltz delivered a classy speech which began with him saluting his fellow nominees: "Thank you so much, Mr. De Niro, Mr. Arkin, Mr. Hoffman and Mr. Jones, my respect." He then concluded by acknowledging Tarantino while borrowing a few lines from his character. "You scale the mountain because you're not afraid of it. You slay the dragon because you're not afraid of it and you cross through fire because it's worth it," said the Viennese actor.
Tarantino also had his chance to celebrate the success of his film by winning for Best Original Screenplay for "Django Unchained." This was his second Oscar win. He previously won the same award for "Pulp Fiction" in 1995.
Best Picture went to "Argo" and rightfully so. Ben Affleck's speech was easily the most sincere of the night. In many ways, part of it was about him. He seemed to be alluding to a period in his life as an actor where things were rocky. "You have to work harder than you think you possibly can. You can't hold grudges. It's hard, but you can't hold grudges. And it doesn't matter how you get knocked down in life; that's going to happen. All that matters is you've got to get up," said the actor and director. He thanked his wife and saluted his children while holding back his tears all the way through the speech. He even gave a shout out to Canada which was fitting since the country has its place in "Argo." Anyone could tell just how proud he was of himself, his family, and his film. A well-deserved win.
In terms of magic, the night included two standout musical performances. The first was by the great Shirley Bassey who sang "Goldfinger" to salute 50 years of James Bond. It's no surprise that she got a standing ovation following her performance which was every bit as good as her original one. However, those expecting to see all six James Bonds reunited on stage were surely disappointed as it didn't happen. Word is one or two of the 007 actors weren't interested in making such an appearance. At least the Academy had plans to do it but I still feel more could've and should've been done for such an enduring and beloved franchise celebrating its 50 years.
The second musical performer who stood out was Barbara Streisand She took the stage following the "In Memoriam" segment of the show. She sang her classic song "Memories" as part of a tribute to the late Marvin Hamlisch, who composed "The Way We Were." Quite classy.
Another notable musical moment included Jennifer Hudson belting out high notes to pay tribute to the film "Dreamgirls", which she starred in and which earned her a Best Supporting Actress award in 2006.
It was also impossible to not be happy with appearances by Jack Nicholson and First Lady Michelle Obama who presented the award for"Best Picture."
In hindsight, the night was only bearable because of these few magical moments. The rest of the show felt empty and for the first time in a long time, it felt overly long. One last word about host Seth McFarlane. He may have given it his all but his funniest joke came when he introduced or rather didn't introduce Meryl Streep. He said, "Our next presenter needs no introduction," before walking off the stage. It drew laughter and it's the kind of joke that a host like Billy Crystal would likely say. But to have one good joke and a few nice dance numbers during a four-hour ceremony is definitely not enough — not when you consider how high the bar has been set by some of the most successful hosts and Oscar telecasts.

Listen to this devotional:
Listen while you read: "Take Up Thy Cross"1 (Lyrics)
Psalm 91:1,4-5 – He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day. (NIV)
This past summer, my three goats, Marshall, Lilly, and Aggie, went on a holiday of sorts. The community greenhouse project willingly accommodated them, as they had large areas of lush grass and other growth to be cleared, and the goats would be the perfect solution for this project. And they were. But amidst this opportunity, a problem evolved, which taught me something very important.
As I went out regularly to check on the goats, I began to notice that they were losing weight — not much, but definitely some — although they were stuffing themselves from morning until night. What is going on? I wondered.
I knew that the people that I had left them with were taking wonderful care of them, yet when I checked them again after they had been at the greenhouse for about six weeks, I was alarmed at how much weight they had dropped, so much so that I cut their holiday short and transported them home.
Upon arriving in our yard, the goats made a beeline for the barn and stayed there for the next several days, coming out only to eat and then immediately returning to their shelter. And then, suddenly, it dawned on me. At the greenhouse, the goats had only a tent for shelter and not a solid structure to feel secure within. Although they were eating well and were diligently cared for, they didn't feel safe. They were unable to take refuge in a place that afforded them rest, comfort, and security amidst the terrors of the night and the onslaught of bugs during the day.
This learning curve reminded me how I am much the same way, apart from my faith in the Lord. Before I knew God, I was always anxious and afraid, worried and distressed about many things which wore me down and tired me out. But once I came to know Him and learned to trust more and more in the truth of His Word and the power of His love, I found a refuge from my worries and stress. It is not that I don't still sometimes struggle with my own "terrors of the night", but when I do, I have trained myself to give them over to God and to leave them there, knowing that I am safe and that He will provide or show me the best way to go.
Today, if you are feeling anxious or worried, or struggling with your own "terrors of the night", remember in Whom you dwell: the Lord God Almighty and the promises and truth of His Word, the living Christ. Give over your struggles to Him, and you, too, shall find refuge and comfort under His wings.
Prayer: Father God, thank You so much that You are our refuge and comfort, our strength and home. Remind us, through the power of Your Spirit, each and every day, to give over to You all of our fears, anxieties, concerns, and worries, that we might dwell and find rest under Your wings. In Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
P.S. The goats regained their weight very quickly and will be able to holiday at the greenhouse again this year, as a proper goat house is underway.

Drastic cuts to local government funding have seen the UK's most deprived metropolitan areas "shoulder the burden of austerity" while some more prosperous counties have flourished, according to new research.
Analysis by the TUC and public service union Unison of central government funding for local councils in England since 2010 highlights a yawning chasm between urban and rural areas. It shows that , overall, councils in England are spending £7.8bn a year less on key services than they did in 2010, which equates to a cut of £150m a week.
The analysis reveals that the 20 councils with the biggest funding gaps are overwhelmingly metropolitan boroughs in London and the north of England. Of these 18 are controlled by Labour; only one is Conservative-run.
In contrast, the 20 councils with the smallest funding cuts are overwhelmingly all Conservative-controlled county councils. Of these, 16 are controlled by the Conservatives and just two are Labour-run.
The analysis – using methodology employed by both the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the Centre for Cities – found that Labour-run Salford Council is spending 38% – or £99m a year – less on key local services than a decade ago. That works out to £479 a year less per resident.
Camden Council, also Labour-run, is spending 32% – £103m a year – less than in 2010. That works out as £620 a year less per resident.
In contrast, Conservative-run Surrey Council is spending 7% – £54m a year – more on key local services than in 2010, which works out at £11 a year more per resident.
Wiltshire Council, a Tory authority, is spending 8%, or £27m a year, more on key local services than in 2010, which works out at £16 a year more per resident.
The Local Government Association estimates that in the past eight years, councils in general have lost 60p out of every £1 the government used to provide prior to the funding cuts. This has left councils increasingly reliant on raising income through council tax, business rates and other charges and fees. Urban councils in more deprived areas have found this task more difficult than their rural counterparts.
"Poorer parts of England have suffered most from the Conservatives' local government cuts," said TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady. "By slashing central government funding, they have made deprived areas shoulder the burden of austerity. We need fair and sustainable funding for all of our communities. Key services have been cut to the bone."
Unison general secretary Dave Prentis agreed: "Local services hold communities together, but nine years of austerity has put paid to that. We've seen libraries shut, care visits reduced, allotments and parks sold off, youth centres closed, subsidised bus services scrapped and public conveniences axed. The government's funding squeeze has forced councils to charge residents more, reduce key services or cut them altogether. Now the cupboard is virtually bare and some local authorities can no longer provide the legal minimum."
A spokesman for the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government said it could not comment as it is currently in election purdah.


text: News COVER STORY:Junkyard Jews Facebook Twitter Email SMS WhatsApp Share By Joe Eskenazi | August 20, 2004 The ancient people of Rhodes were definitely good at building colossuses. But they weren't so prompt about picking them up after they fell down. After the famed Colossus of Rhodes, one of the original Seven Wonders of the World, toppled in an earthquake, the locals saw fit to let the huge pieces lie about like an ancient version of cars sitting on cinder blocks on a Mississippi lawn. For 900 years. When Arabs overran the island in the year 653, they broke up the fallen statue and sold the estimated 30,000 pounds of bronze and 18,000 pounds of iron to a scrap metal dealer in Syria — a Jewish scrap metal dealer. Thirteen centuries later and half a world away, Aaron Forkash of Oakland's Aaron Metals says he'd pay $27,285 for the remains of the colossus — cast bronze goes for 88 cents a pound, iron is valued at 100 bucks a ton, and, "at Aaron Metals, we round everything up." And don't worry about the 90 camels the Syrian Jewish scrap merchant reportedly used to transport the remains. Aaron Metals has its own flatbed. While through the years debates over transporting scrap have transformed from "one-humped camel or two?" to "pickup or trailer?" the disproportionately heavy Jewish involvement in the business has remained a constant — in the Bay Area and the rest of the world. The scrap business' trade association is known as the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, or ISRI. Not coincidentally, many scrappers refer to themselves as ISRI-aelites. "It's a Jewish business," summed up Gayle Helwani of San Francisco's Bay Area Metals in the Bayview district. It's been a Jewish business since the days of "shmata sellers," she says. Forkash runs his business by the book — if "by the book," you mean the ISRI directory. "Pick a number between one and 100," he says with a grin, sitting in the break room of the family scrap yard, located in an industrial neighborhood not far from the Oakland Coliseum. Given the number 72, Forkash turns to the page in the ISRI directory. Jewish names leap off the page in the management positions of nearly every company: Stein, Ross, Jacobs and a bevy of others Ashkenazi, Sephardi and Mizrahi. "And it's all over the world. There are Jews in France we've contracted with. We've gone to the [ISRI] conventions. There are religious Jews wearing kippot, and others who are very secular," continues Forkash, 30, a San Francisco State University graduate who majored in Jewish studies and sociology. "It's really kind of amazing. Everywhere you go, Jewish people are in the industry." The room is nearly overflowing with gaudy bronze and brass sculptures Aaron Metals workers have plucked from the scrap: dozens of cats and elephants; a race car; a strutting cowboy constructed entirely of spigots; bookends, which, when combined, form a bust of Abraham Lincoln; and, most visibly, a school of a dozen bronze striped bass mounted to the wall. The din of non-ferrous metals in vast quantities being crushed, melted, dropped and stripped on the other side of the window wafts into the break room as a constant backdrop. Forkash's father, Paul, and grandfather, Jack, named the business after Paul's then-2-year-old son when they founded the company in 1976 (it also got them into the front of the phone book). Forkash jokes that he "was born to do this, so to speak" and, naturally, tunes out all the smashing and crashing noises. Across the country, there are many other families like his. In fact, in 1930 Fortune magazine estimated that 90 percent of the nation's scrap metal firms were owned by Jews. This begs the question — how? And why? Carl Zimring, a visiting professor of environmental history at Oberlin College in Ohio, penned his doctoral thesis on the history of the scrap metal industry. He sees the Jews' ascent to kings of the American scrap yard as a mix of timing and culture. First of all, he explains, the market for scrap metal emerged in the 1870s, right at a time of Jewish (and non-Jewish) mass exodus from Europe. Since, at that time, recycling was considered to be, quite literally, dirty work, the job was relegated to recent immigrants — meaning that Jews and Italians faced no established competition. And it was cheap. "There's a low investment cost. You could start up with a sack on your back as long as you were willing to meet people and make deals," says Zimring. "And it was conducive for Jews. A lot of them didn't want to work in factories, especially Orthodox Jews who didn't want to work Friday night, or couldn't because of discrimination. "One method of getting around this is to make your own business — and Jewish grocers and tailors and [others] started small enterprises." But, as the rise of department stores and supermarkets squeezed out many small businessmen, World War I made the much less financially taxing scrap business a lucrative one. Corporate consolidation in the last 20 years has swallowed up many of the Jewish mom 'n' pop scrap yards. But, notes Zimring, "by 1920 it was a Jewish business, and pretty much has been since then." In fact, many of today's Jewish-owned scrap yards are now operated third-, fourth- or fifth-generation family members. In the East Bay, the scrap business is not only largely Jewish but resembles the interconnected royal families of Europe. The operators of two of the largest yards — Oakland's Lakeside and Alco, which has vast spreads in both Vallejo and San Leandro — are cousins. "I just sort of got [junk] in my blood at an early age," says Kevin Kantor of Alco. "When I was 14, 15, I would go down and do work when I wasn't in school. Mainly, I sorted metals, and once I got my license, I started driving trucks for the company. I worked as a welder. I worked my way up." He runs the company along with his brothers Keith and Kem and sister Kari. Their father, Elton — who evidently had an affinity for the letter "k" — founded Alco after his father, Morrie, founded Lakeside, which is currently operated by Lance Finkel, son of Les, who was Elton's brother-in-law. See? Just like the European royals but with more junk and less hemophilia. "Junk in the blood" is a common condition among Bay Area Jewish scrap families. San Francisco's Helwani gleefully recalls riding along with her father, Sam Golub, in what she calls his "Sanford & Son truck," which had "Sam the Junk Man" stenciled on the side. Back in the early 1960s, father and daughter would head to McAllister Street, which was still San Francisco's Jewish enclave at the time, and pick up scrap and antiques from "the alter kacker shops." "There was a Jewish butcher there and other shops, and they'd give scrap to him for free," recalls Helwani, 44, an Orthodox Jew dubbed "the princess of scrap" by friends and co-workers. "They thought it was junk, and he'd turn around and make money selling it." (Her brother, Doug Golub, who also runs the business, does not go by the "prince of scrap," incidentally.) "We had beautiful things in our home," she continues. "My dad would bring home the things people threw away. I have planters and big, huge trays made of silver. People scrap a lot of interesting stuff." Helwani also has a growing collection of Judaica. Whenever a menorah comes down the pike, she throws it into a barrel, cleans it off and totes it home. The Forkash family also has amassed a formidable supply of Judaica, ranging from menorahs to a brass tzedakah box to the plaques reading "rabbi's study" and "cantor's office" from San Francisco's Congregation Emanu-El following the temple's remodeling. They also get old Jewish headstones. "We read the names on them to make sure they aren't ours," jokes Aaron Metals buyer Andy Smilovitz, a longtime family friend and employee for more than a decade. Forkash cops to giving as gifts Kiddush cups that he originally found in the scrap yard. He also found an impressive seder plate right around Passover. More practically, Forkash admits he's never had to buy filing cabinets or padlocks; there's always more than enough to choose from in the scrap heap. Smilovitz, however, limits his scrap yard discoveries to adorning his work area. "My wife has strict orders, don't bring any chazerei home," he says with a laugh. The office, however, is a different story. "Garbage men will come by and bring stationery and paper products and pens that don't work. We've never had to buy anything. They say, 'Give me your order. I'll look for you.'" Putting in 12-hour days at the scrap yard — as Paul and Aaron Forkash and many others in the business do — is not for everyone. But for Jews with junk in the blood, more prestigious "Jewish" careers in medicine, finance or the law are for someone else. Michael Hollander graduated from San Diego State and became an accountant. In 1992, however, his office burned to the ground and he lost everything. With his career junked, he turned to junk, riding shotgun in his dad's pickup as Ernie Hollander made his scrap run. "I enjoy getting out of doors and going different places every day. And the accounting business was very stressful," said the younger Hollander, who runs Berkeley Radiator Supply, located, counter-intuitively, in Oakland. "The last 11 years I worked with Dad, that was very special." Ernie Hollander, Les Finkel and Elton Kantor all died in the last couple of years, and the three were regarded locally as the Bay Area's patriarchs of scrap. Their sons and daughters are carrying on the family businesses. Aaron Forkash is one of the younger men in the field. And, while most of society doesn't give a second thought to the appliance or computer left on the curb, that's where Forkash's interest starts. Within the four, razor wire-mounted walls of Aaron Metals, everyday contexts are turned upside-down. It's the height of ubiquity to see an escalator leading down into the subway; it boggles the mind to eye discarded escalator steps resting atop hundreds of beer kegs and old radiators. Boxes of elevator panels sit nearby, their buttons and wires exposed. The one on the top, evidently, used to guide an elevator up and down a 14-story building. A junked MRI machine, at one point valued at more than $1 million, sits between SBC telecommunications cables and compacted cubes of bumpers. Its value is now considerably less. A big rig dumps 20,000 pounds of aluminum shavings in the middle of the yard, creating a scouring pad the size of an RV. Several dozen employees race about the lot, shearing plates of metal in half with cutting torches, tearing the copper wiring out of rubber tubes or speeding by on forklifts laden with huge aluminum bars resembling the Monolith from the film "2001." Men and women selling their metalware line up, even at the crack of dawn, where they engage in an easy, back-and-forth banter with Smilovitz. The yard's two "balers" run constantly, each an electric blue, three-story-high conveyor belt and crusher capable of converting 10,000 pounds of copper into a cube the size of a desk. A similar device runs a never-ending supply of soda and beer cans up a conveyer belt from which they tumble two stories into a cauldron with a pitter-patter reminiscent of a winning slot machine. The cubes of flattened cans are stacked 27 feet high in an adjacent warehouse. Aaron estimates 25 to 30 cans weigh a pound, and each 6-by-3-foot cube of cans weighs about a ton. Doing the math, that's 60,000 cans per cube. Similarly dizzying numbers of pewter mugs (which Aaron mines for Kiddush cups) and brass belt buckles and machine parts fill huge vats. Many of the buckles are Texas-sized and bear legends such as "Century Award: National Barrel Horse Association." Forkash stirs his hand through a vat of bronze drill bits and gears. A funny smile comes to his face. "Maybe at one time," he says slowly, hoisting a machine bit imprinted 'Hecho en Mexico,' "This was part of the Colossus of Rhodes."

The Thoroughbred is a horse breed best known for its use in horse racing. Although the word thoroughbred is sometimes used to refer to any breed of purebred horse, it technically refers only to the Thoroughbred breed. Thoroughbreds are considered "hot-blooded" horses that are known for their agility, speed, and spirit. The Thoroughbred as it is known today was developed in 17th- and 18th-century England, when native mares were crossbred with imported Oriental stallions of Arabian, Barb, and Turkoman breeding. All modern Thoroughbreds can trace their pedigrees to three stallions originally imported into England in the 17th and 18th centuries, and to a larger number of foundation mares of mostly English breeding. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Thoroughbred breed spread throughout the world; they were imported into North America starting in 1730 and into Australia, Europe, Japan and South America during the 19th century. Millions of Thoroughbreds exist today, and around 100,000 foals are registered each year worldwide. Thoroughbreds are used mainly for racing, but are also bred for other riding disciplines such as show jumping, combined training, dressage, polo, and fox hunting. They are also commonly crossbred to create new breeds or to improve existing ones, and have been influential in the creation of the Quarter Horse, Standardbred, Anglo-Arabian, and various warmblood breeds. Thoroughbred racehorses perform with maximum exertion, which has resulted in high accident rates and health problems such as bleeding from the lungs. Other health concerns include low fertility, abnormally small hearts and a small hoof-to-body-mass ratio. There are several theories for the reasons behind the prevalence of accidents and health problems in the Thoroughbred breed, and research is ongoing.
The Horse Scanner app does provide a lot more information about the Thoroughbred breed as well as many more.
Also known as
This breed is also called Age of Racehorses, English Running Horse, French Thoroughbred, OTTB - Off Track Thoroughbred, Thoroughbred, Thoroughbred Horse, Thoroughbred Race Horse, Thoroughbred Racehorse as well as Thourghbreds.

There was a deadly accident involving two 18-wheelers in Royse City, Texas on October 26, 2021. The accident occurred on Interstate 30 between two 18-wheelers and one passenger vehicle. Reports indicate one of the 18-wheelers failed to slow down and struck the second 18-wheeler from behind. The impact resulted in the second semi truck striking a passenger vehicle located in front of it on the highway. One of the 18-wheeler drivers was killed in the accident, and treatment was required for individuals located in the passenger car.
There have been a number of recent trucking accidents in Texas and Louisiana, resulting in severe injuries and sometimes death. There was a deadly accident between an 18-wheeler and a motorcycle in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana on September 21, 2021. An 18-wheeler overturned in Houston, Texas on September 22, 2021. There was an accident between an 18-wheeler and a motorcycle in Orange, Texas on September 28, 2021. There was an 18-wheeler rollover accident in Lorena, Texas on September 28, 2021. There was a deadly accident when an 18-wheeler struck a bicyclist in Orange, Texas on October 20, 2021.
Safe trucking companies must take adequate precautions to ensure that their drivers do not severely injure or kill members of the public in a trucking accident. Industry standards require trucking companies to regularly inspect their equipment. Safe companies must also supervise their driver to ensure that the company's policies and procedures have been followed. Drivers must yield to other traffic on the roadway. This is not just common sense, but is actually the law.

Defence IQ Worldwide Survey Results : The Threat of Civillian Drones
26 Sep, 2016, 09:03 ET
LONDON, September 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
"Of those industries that are seen as particularly at-risk of unlawful drone use, 83% claim they require counter-drone solutions and are yet to fulfil this requirement..."
Defence IQ surveyed over 450 people with an interest in unmanned aerial vehicle/counter-drone technology developments. We asked them whether they believed the threat is really as serious as many suspect and if the commercial sector is ready for major security incidents resulting from malicious or accidental drone intrusion.
The results were quite shocking, with most participants citing their lack of awareness around current regulations and counter-drone technologies, despite recognising the dangers drones pose to airports, prisons, nuclear facilities, and other public spaces.
You can view the Worldwide Countering drones survey here: http://www.counteringdrones.com/are-we-prepared-for-the-threat-of-drones-infographic-mc?utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=ad&utm_campaign=27603.001-external-pressrelease&utm_term=infographic&utm_content=text&mac=27603.001_prnews&disc=27603.001_prnews
Countering Drones Event
If you found the infographic relevant to your line of work and you want to find out more about counter-drone systems and real-life case studies then please take a look at the agenda for the Countering Drones summit here: http://www.counteringdrones.com/agenda-mc?utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=ad&utm_campaign=27603.001-external-pressrelease&utm_term=home&utm_content=text&mac=27603.001_prnews&disc=27603.001_prnews
The event takes place in London between the 6th-8th December and will be bringing together cross-industry experts to discuss this emerging security threat. Those attending recognise that this is an issue that looks set to only get worse as civil drones proliferate more, and are looking to implement strategies now.

War Shields
"...would glance off a rifle shot with perfect effect by being turned obliquely, which they do with great skill."
Because the war shields were used on horseback they were small measuring 20-24 inches in diameter and light in weight, similar to those used by the Ancient Roman cavalry. The war shields were not meant to shield the body as such, they were mainly used as arrow deflectors but could also provide protection against the Spear of an enemy.
