When Mike Craver tells people that he's spending his Thanksgiving weekend in Sioux Falls, there's a common response.
"They say 'you must be crazy,' " the musician says from his home in Lexington, N.C. "But you never hear much about South Dakota, and I'm curious."
Craver has been to the area before, though. As a member of the popular folk group the Red Clay Ramblers, Craver played at Newton Hills State Park in the early '80s.
"We played for one of the first festivals that they had," Craver says. "It was a beautiful countryside, and the crowd was very appreciative."
Tonight, Craver will make his return trip to South Dakota when the piano man plays his music in the Belbas Theatre of the Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science. Also on the bill are the folk musicians Bill and Libby Hicks. Bill Hicks is also a former member of the Red Clay Ramblers.
The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $15 and are available at the Pavilion box office or by calling 367-6000.
His tour of eastern South Dakota continues in Gayville on Saturday. The show with the Hicks duo begins at 8 p.m. at the Gayville Hall, 502 Washington St. Tickets are $10 at the door or $12.50 for advance reserved seating. Call 605-267-2859.
Though not a well-known name, Craver is highly regarded by pockets of music fans across the nation who enjoy his eclectic style that incorporates humor, American history and folk-music principles.
"I'm sure there's a name for what I do, but I haven't found it yet," Craver says. "I'm a piano player ... I don't play a guitar or fiddle or mandolin. I play piano. It's not a folk instrument."
Gaynor Johnson, a member of the South Dakota Friends of Traditional Music, says Craver's songs are well-crafted.
"A lot of the songs he writes sound like they were written in the '20s or '30s," Johnson says. "He's got a great sense of humor."
That sense of humor and his songwriting have helped more than just his solo career.
After leaving the Ramblers years ago, Craver moved to New York City and became involved in the theater industry. Since then he has written a number of musicals, including "Radio Gals" and "Oil City Symphony."
The productions still are popular. Craver recently finished a stint of "Oil City Symphony" in Milwaukee.
Craver says he'll likely perform some of the numbers from his musicals during tonight's concert, but the script won't be too regimented. After doing weeks of the same show night after night for his musicals, Craver enjoys the freedom of his solo concerts.
"They're more of an adventure for me because you never know what you're going to do or how you're going to do it," Craver says. "I feel like something takes over me, and I don't know how I'm doing it."

Game 1 box score: Ohio Dominican 4, Hillsdale 1
Game 2 box score: Hillsdale 9, Ohio Dominican 3
On Senior Day, one of Hillsdale College's best ever wrote her name into the record books.
Senior outfielder Bekah Kastning set the school's single-season hits record as the Chargers split a GLIAC doubleheader with Ohio Dominican University in the final home games of the 2017 season. Hillsdale lost game 1 4-1, but came back to win the nightcap 9-3.
The Chargers are now 25-20 overall and 13-7 in the GLIAC.
Kastning had two hits in game 1, and her bunt single in the first inning game 2 gave her 77 hits on the season, breaking a school record that had stood since 1995. She still leads the GLIAC in batting average, maintaining an unbelievable final season.
The Hillsdale bats didn't get many clean hits in the opener, as the Panthers shut down the Chargers offensively. Kastning, Kelsey Gockman and Katie Kish each had two hits in game 1 and Kish scored the team's lone run.
The team got off to a much better start in game 2, scoring three times in the top of the first inning to grab a quick early lead. Sam Catron's two-run single helped jump-start the offense.
Hillsdale held a 5-0 lead when ODU hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the sixth to suddenly make it a 5-3 game. But the Chargers responded with four big runs in the top of the seventh to put the game out of reach.
Freshman Sydney San Juan singled with the bases loaded to score one, and freshman Shelby Sprouse followed with a three-run double to center that cleared the bases and put a big exclamation point on the team's win.
Sprouse was 2-for-4 with a career-high 4 RBI in the win for Hillsdale. San Juan and Catron each had two hits and two runs batted in, while Amanda Marra was 2-for-3 with three runs scored and one batted in.
Freshman pitcher Dana Weidinger won her 17th game of the season, going all seven innings with one strikeout.

WHITLEY COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - A southern Kentucky woman is in jail accused of confronting a judge and struggling with bailiffs. The attack happened on Monday in a Whitley County Circuit Courtroom.
Shannon Fox Hamblin
A judge heard Shannon Fox Hamblin's case around 2:30 Monday afternoon. She was facing allegations of probation and parole violations.
Courtroom video shows Hamblin immediately told the judge she did not want an attorney. She went on to say she was represented by Jesus Christ.
Hamblin argued with the judge, and when he asked bailiffs to take her away, she confronted the judge. Deputies had to restrain Hamblin as she continued to claim her actions were based on her beliefs.
"Jesus said I won't go..and I'll stand by on his word. He said stand strong, and you won't go, and I won't go. No, I won't go," Hamblin exclaimed.
In that video, she continues to struggle with the bailiffs. The sheriff says that one of the bailiffs suffered a hand injury.
Both Hamblin and the deputy went to the hospital.
Deputies later transported Hamblin to jail. She's now facing charges of assault second degree on a police officer, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, public intoxication and contempt of court.
The sheriff said that his bailiff is going to be okay, but they are not certain of the extent of the injuries to his hand.

As anyone who's followed the Russia investigation knows, Paul Manafort is screwed – and "big league." Long the subject of intense scrutiny, the former Trump campaign chairman is on the front lines of the battle to discover exactly what went on between the President's associates and emissaries from Moscow in the lead up to the election.
On July 26, Manafort's Virginia home was the subject of a predawn FBI raid which the The New York Times recounted in excruciating detail earlier this month. Subsequently, Robert Mueller issued subpoenas to a former lawyer for Manafort and to Manafort's spokesman, a move described by CNN at the time as "an aggressive tactic that suggests an effort to add pressure on the former Trump campaign chairman."
Additionally, Mueller is also reportedly working with New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on the Manafort investigation. By all accounts, that's an effort to circumvent Trump's pardon power.
As if all of that wasn't enough evidence to support the notion that Manafort is set to be the "key" that unlocks the door to eventually indicting Donald Trump, last week CNN reported that Manafort was wiretapped by U.S. investigators for years with an interlude "sometime" in 2016 – the "gap" apparently encompassed the June meeting between Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Natalia Veselnitskaya.
Just three days ago, we brought you the latest from former FBI counterintelligence agent and current associate dean at Yale Law School Asha Rangappa, who has spent a considerable amount of time over the last week detailing what the FISAs on Manafort likely mean.
Well on Tuesday, after insisting to House Intelligence Committee lawmakers that he has been falsely accused of collusion with Moscow, Roger Stone, infamous former campaign adviser to President Trump told reporters in Washington that Manafort "expects to be indicted."
"His attorney told my attorneys he expects to be indicted," Stone, a longtime ally of the President, told the press on Capitol Hill, adding that "he doesn't know what the charges would be and neither does Paul." Here's a clip:
"I think what's happening here is the special counsel will try and manufacture a crime," Stone says of Paul Manafort https://t.co/T5uqoA85rO pic.twitter.com/ejXLJYGdsj
— CBS News (@CBSNews) September 26, 2017
So Roger is wrong about a lot of things there. For one thing, anyone who has ever experienced the difference knows that English tailoring is not in fact better than Italian tailoring.
Beyond that, Roger is also incorrect to suggest that Manafort won't roll over on Trump under pressure.
It is, however, most assuredly accurate to say that they are going to charge Manafort with something and then use that as leverage. Once that ball gets rolling, Trump better be prepared.

My photographic trials and tribulations on walks and visits to birding sites near to home in Yorkshire and further afield.

The Sensible Couple
At Dunwich Heath one of our early morning walks set a pair of RL Partridge off in flight up the path ahead (see header). What great colours these birds have the deep russet colours on their backs as they fly was very much in keeping with the autumnal colours.
Sensible why? Because this pair live on National Trust land where at least they are safe.
On the morning we left as we were packing the car the pair were near the car park and I could use a gate post to stabilise the camera.

- Jennifer Tetlow said...
What lovely images - I have lots of these birds sheltering at my workshop, and in the evenings they come in groups of 10 or so, and they love to perch on the stone in the yard - they're rather comical in their way of running around and gathering in gangs with a racket of alarm calls if disturbed.

Thanks Jennifer and Roy. thanks very much for sharing about the Partridges around your yard Jennifer.
I found a large group of Partridges last week end, so if I get the time I might stake them out in the car.

Erica McDaniel Completes The Gump Games
On Saturday, March 9, 2013, Erica competed in The Gump Games held in Montgomery, Alabama. The event was held at the Cramton Bowl Multiplex which catered to hundreds of athletes and spectators. Erica McDanel competed in the women's scaled division for her first competition.
"Besides the Throwdown- it was the first big competition I had ever done. I honestly don't know what made me sign up for it.Even though I have been "doing" CrossFit for close to 8 months now, I have only been a CrossFit "athlete" for 3 months. In January, I decided to be dedicated to the sport. I no longer looked at it as an opportunity to go to the gym and do something with myself. I FINALLY had the mindset that I was going to go in there and excel in the sport. With the support from everyone at CFP and the huge accountability, I was in the gym four to five days a week as opposed to my previous one to two days a week. After the Whole30 began, my goal was to see an increase in performance, so maybe that's where my motivation for doing The Gump Games came from."
"I was SO NERVOUS, and of course ended up being in the first heat (of six.) The first WOD was my favorite. It was called "Ladder Up." 12 min AMRAP, starting with 3 DL, 3 Power Cleans, 3 Push Jerks, and 3 Handstand Holds. The next round was 4 reps, the next 5, and so on. I completely dominated the Handstand holds with perfect form 🙂 I completed 9 full rounds and 15 reps of the 10th round. 183 reps I think."
"The second WOD was by far the hardest. 20 min time cap; 6 rounds of 20 Wall Balls, sprint 150 ft, 20 KB swings- first starting with a 50 hand-release push up buy in. I was so angry with myself because I feel like I could have done much better. I completed 5 1/2 rounds. That was the first time in 8 months that I wanted to stop and walk out. My entire body was like a big noodle and I could not breathe. THANKFULLY, my judge was super awesome and encouraged me to keep going. This WOD was mental for me just because I dislike Wall Balls."
"The last WOD, "Mr. Cramton" was insane. We had to sprint around the stadium, run 3 stadium ascents, 50 yard burpee broad jump, 75 ab mat sit ups, 50 yard prisoner lunge, and 75 lateral jumps over a barbell. This one was actually kind of fun. I got really confused on the running part on the beginning and added an extra 200 yards which wasted time on the clock… but oh well. I finished in close to 17 minutes. Quinn gave me the advice to keep going and never stop. I can honestly say that I never really STOPPED for a long amount of time. A second here and there to re-adjust on the sit ups and a couple of times on the lateral jumps just because I've never done the movement before. Here is where my body impressed me. I was dead by this point, but not in the same way as the second WOD. Every single muscle in my body was just fatigued and I remember thinking "Dang, 75, thats A LOT." I did a few reps and then busted out like 15, then 25, then like 35. And was done. FINISHED. The happiness from finishing made me feel like I could do the WOD all over again!"
I finished 27th overall but mentally I was strong. I definitely enjoyed it, and will be doing more competitions. Having Michael there was a blessing, I am not sure I could have done it without him. He was the only other member from CFP. I can see the effect that all of yall have on me in the box, and there is no doubt in my mind that I could have done better with all my peeps there cheering me on. So that is where I am frustrated with myself… I wish I could have had that motivation ON MY OWN to perform better. BUT that's just part of CrossFit… the community. It's so repetitive, but SO TRUE. I was out of my comfort zone and it was weird not having any of the familiar voices screaming at me. I think thats why the second WOD was my least favorite. It was me and the judge. Nobody else. So my pansy mind definitely won that one. CFP seriously rocks and I couldn't imagine being part of any other gym, like for real. The standard and integrity of our gym is at the very top. You couldn't pay me to go anywhere else. So that's why I'm never leaving Auburn. Ever."

So, the second year in this house, our furnace went out on us. And since we were pretty broke (still are), we didn't have it fixed right away because we had our fireplace. We thought we'd give the fireplace an honest shot at heating this big old house on it's own. Quite honestly we thought it might buy us a few weeks to get some funds together before needing to have the furnace serviced. Well, we are going into our 4th winter in this house and the furnace is still down. That fireplace has kept us warm for going on 3 years now. Sure the house is drafty and the heat is not a balanced heat, but the house stays warm and we stay cozy through our -40 degree winters. We've gotten the talk from our parents. Understandably they are concerned about the cold…what about back-up heat? what about fire concerns? etc. First of all, we are very safe about burning wood. Our house is peppered with smoke alarms, fire blankets, and fire extinguishers. Our insurance agent has been out a couple times to reassess and the fireplace is most certainly up to code, functioning well, and still safe. With that said, our first winter here we were paying upwards of $300-$450 a month in propane expenses. That hurts! The first year with wood we paid out maybe $350 for a winter's worth of wood. The next year our neighbors decided to knock down a wall of trees between their field and gave us the wood. This year is the same. We have paid nothing…let me repeat, NOTHING to heat our home all winter long for almost 3 years. Sure it takes a bit work to haul, split, and stack the wood. Not to mention the commitment to keep the fire burning during those long freezing nights (up every 3-4 hours to stoke it). But with kids we are up a couple times a night anyway – potty runs, bad dreams, etc. Nothing is lost really except the expense.
And so I take this opportunity to sing my husband's praises (again). He's quite wonderful to tackle such a task on his own…with everything else he does around here.
This is what the pile started out as (June 2011):
It grew to this about a month later (July 2011):
And there was still some more added towards the end of August.
And now this is what it looks like (November 2011):
With the help of John's mom who came for 2 days with the sole intention of eliminating the wood pile completely, we are now completely ready for an entire winter. Wood stacked in the wood shed….
…and in a covered trailer on the side of the garage…
…and another trailer piled high in the garage for the dead of winter when the storms blow snow halfway up our garage door (it happens often)…
Sure piles of wood may not mean anything to you. But for us, it means warmth and security during the winter. It means another year of no heat expense. It means another winter of self-sufficiency. For us, the piles are a treasure.
Happy winter to you all. Stay warm.

It's recommended that you leave your exhaust fan running 30-60 minutes after taking a shower. This ensures that the moisture does not linger in the bathroom which will eventually lead to various problems such as moisture build up on painted surfaced such as walls and ceilings, paint peeling and even mold in places. A great solution is to replace the fan switch with a light timer switch. With incrememts of 10,20,30, and 60 minutes, just set it and forget it!

"All you need is autonomy to be happy in work"
This is a quote I have heard on more than one occasion in my life as a gamification consultant. I have even had a friend quote his boss to me saying the following:
"You don't need a pay rise, I read a book that siad money isn't a motivator. So with that, I will give you more autonomy and purpose in your role."
This idea that intrinsic motivation is an alternative to money comes from a misunderstanding of several studies and pop psychology books around motivation. A key … Read the rest

Most people don't know what to think when it comes to the paranormal. This is one of the reasons for creating The Caviness Report. As a field investigator and experiencer of the paranormal, I have found myself in many situations that required analyses as objective as I could possibly make. And it often was not easy. We all think, perceive and communicate with our own personal biases constantly tugging at us. I feel that when dealing with paranormal matters it is essential for one to be careful, cautious, and open-minded but not quick to draw conclusions from what one reads, hears, or even experiences-and I feel this is good advice for believers as well as skeptics. Sometimes, a supposedly paranormal experience can turn out to be nothing more than a dream that seemed unusually real-or a simple misperception of something seen at a distance or out of the corner of an eye. However, some assumed dreams can turn out to be real paranormal experiences, as well-and some perceptions accurate. One thing years of paranormal investigations have taught me is how little we humans know about the grand scheme of things and how complex it all can be. It is easy for us human beings to get things wrong. We have to navigate carefully through these waters if we want to reach the truth. And, a strong reverence for the truth is vital.
I have apparently had a long history of involvement-to some unknown degree-with someone or some thing beyond our human realm. This is another reason for The Caviness Report. For many years this apparent personal involvement remained obscure in my mind due to ignorance, denial and confusion. It always seemed as though something very faint in the back of my mind was always pulling at me, but I could never figure out what it was. Perhaps my subconscious was trying to tell my conscious mind something but could not overcome my lifelong cultural conditioning. And, I have found that I am not alone. In recent years, I have discovered that other people, too, in our society, have had to deal with occasional events of a mysterious nature in their lifetimes that involved brushes with something not commonly acknowledged by the human race with a feeling that something hidden is going on in their lives. I have since wondered just how many other human beings have silently carried paranormal experiences throughout their lives not being able to share them with the rest of the human race because of social barriers, denial and confusion. Once I double-confirmed that a paranormal world did indeed exist, I felt a strong compulsion to ignore those social barriers, denial and confusion. I wanted to add what I could to the general paranormal knowledge base that already existed from the research of others who had gone before me to try to help convince the rest of the human race that mysterious things are going on all around us that we know little or nothing about.
We humans rely heavily on our five senses. But not everything is detectable with our five senses. And, because we are all so vulnerable to what we cannot see, I feel that every single man, woman and child on earth should want to become aware of all things beyond our natural world.
The paranormal world, in its entirety, could entail things that are enlightening for the human race. And, it could also entail things that are harmful. Without knowing, we human beings are potentially vulnerable. I am now convinced that we humans reside in the middle of something very mysterious and unseen. Therefore, it seems prudent to me to try as hard as we can to find out what is going on beyond our normal realm. I think it is imperative for the human race to do so.
The human race is being "tinkered with" by someone or some thing that is carrying out some unknown agenda from beyond our realm of reality. Evidence points to genetic tinkering being performed by what we would consider to be ETs. This would seem to be a matter of great concern to any and all human beings.
The existence of ghost beings on earth upsets established religious views of the Heaven and Hell concept-or, where we go when we die. If a human soul leaves a body at death and becomes a "ghost" eventually fading into obscurity after so many years, then what eventually happens to that soul? This is not covered in religion. Most people in religion do not openly acknowledge the existence of ghosts. What causes a soul to become a ghost? Are religious views of the afterlife correct…or not? This would also seem to be a matter for great concern to any human being that will eventually face death, some day.
Overall, the paranormal world could actually be a good thing for the human race. But it is entirely possible that some of the continuous goings-on in it could be serving some other race's agenda-at the expense of the human race. For some reason, deception in various forms is an all too commonly found leading factor in investigations-especially in the case of what we call extraterrestrials-who are very elusive and very secretive. This, to me, means that if deception is necessary for them to use on us, then it is not likely a good thing for us. The fact is that we human beings, because of our lack of awareness, are very vulnerable to whatever is out there-whether it be ghosts, goblins, ETs, or something still unknown. I think we cannot as a race justify an "ignorance is bliss" mentality, here. Yet, that seems to be what we are doing. I do not think it is a good idea to ignore the world of the paranormal. Ultimately, it could even be vital to the long-term survival of the human race as we know it. It could be that we dwell in an unregulated universe that demands our awareness. There are few good reasons, if any, to think that we are alone. I see the universe as huge and full of mysteries. Fortunately, we don't have to leave Earth to seek and explore some of the mysteries that lie beyond our limited human world. But, it is important for us to find out what all surrounds us that we cannot readily detect with our natural abilities.
When it comes to paranormal matters, the world seems to be asleep. I think it's time to wake up.
Between the ages of 5 and 7, I would occasionally awaken in the middle of the night and find that I could not move a single muscle in my body. I was somehow paralyzed. But even before I could get scared (as a small child naturally would), a very strong feeling of dread would overwhelm me and I would suddenly feel that something was only moments away from appearing in my bedroom- something overwhelmingly fearsome. I remember feeling very scared. Yet, I could not consciously figure out what exactly I was fearing. I would see the floor a few feet from my bed, if I was on my side, and certain inanimate objects would appear-two or three, I remember-the same ones each time. They would appear on the floor out of thin air. I do not currently remember what those objects were, but I believe that in reality I was made to "see" inanimate objects that were really masking living entities of some kind-an apparent manipulation of the human mind. And, in each case, despite feeling wide awake, I would not remember anything else except waking up the next morning. I believe that these experiences would occur on an average of once every month or two with some variation, if memory serves me correctly. I would fear from time to time that these "nightmares" would never stop.
By age 7, I was wishing very hard that the nightmares would somehow cease-as though someone could hear my wishes and stop them if they decided. It was as if my subconscious mind knew what was actually going on but my conscious mind-in some way-was not allowed to know. Of course, all this was far too much for a mere 7-year old to sort out. My parents would tell me that I was having nightmares. But, I knew what dreams were. This did not seem to have the nature of a dream or nightmare. Finally, at some point during the age of seven, the nightmare events stopped-at least no more conscious recollections of any of these events, anyway. And, over the next few years, I was very thankful and extremely relieved that I was no longer suffering from this. I felt as though someone had heard my mental pleas and decided to halt my suffering. Curiously, a few years later, I asked a few people if they had ever experienced waking up in bed not being able to move. No one I asked had experienced this. I assumed that I must have had some kind of mental condition, perhaps, that had brought on the paralysis condition. I had no desire to tell anyone of the nightmares-probably for fear of ridicule. For decades, I had no explanation for these events in my early childhood. But, I never became convinced that they were dreams.
I do not recall ever having any similar episodes of paralysis or strange nightmares again during my childhood. But, I do remember one likely related event occurring between my childhood and adulthood. At age fifteen, I was straddling my bicycle, standing, early one evening, at a quiet, residential intersection on my afternoon newspaper delivery route looking through my collections book to see what nearby customers had not yet paid their dues for that week. I was planning to knock on a few doors of my customers before going home. But, I remember looking ahead, and unexpectedly, I saw three small lights rising-a block or so away-above the tree line-on a large aircraft body that was strangely too dark to see despite the many street lights in the neighborhood. The craft was approximately the size of a dirigible-possibly larger-and was approaching me from in front but slightly off to my left. I didn't understand what I was looking at. The absence of sound made it seem strange, too. It was moving steady at a fairly slow clip-perhaps 30 mph or so-which a common airplane cannot do. I was convinced it was a single, large craft and not three separate lights. I remember a small red light on one side, a small blue light on the other side and a white light trailing behind. I later could not understand why I suddenly became disinterested in the object and looked back down at my collections book. I do remember looking upward once again at it as it got almost even with me not more than a few hundred feet away. I could see the small lights plainly but saw nothing of a body of the craft-which seemed strange to me as I thought about it later on. I had a passion for aviation and astronomy and most things related to the sky. Normally, even an ordinary airplane would get my attention enough to stare at it for a while-especially if it was only a few hundred feet from me and moving slowly. I should have been able to make out the body of the craft. Instead, I merely shrugged my shoulders and looked away-an unusual reaction for me.
I looked back down at my book. Strangely, I suddenly wanted to go home instead of knocking on doors to collect payments at the homes of my newspaper customers-even though I had felt I really needed to do so. For some unknown reason, I just wanted to go home early and call it a day.
I did not understand why my mother, the next day, asked me why I arrived home so late that night. When I tried to correct her by telling her I had actually decided to come home early, she insisted that I had come home very late, instead. I did not know what she was talking about. Though, now, it appears that I might have been taken from my bicycle by the unknown craft and later returned to the exact same spot-straddling my bicycle with any awareness of events completely wiped from my memory. How the aerial craft might have taken me is still bewildering to this day. But, the craft was there and I apparently had a couple hours of missing time that I could not explain.
I had become aware of unidentified flying objects (or, UFOs) just three years earlier and was interested in them after finding out that some serious people insisted they were indeed real. The next day after the strange event, I mentioned to my mother that I thought I may have seen a UFO-being that I could not identify what I had seen that night as anything familiar. Surprisingly, instead of dismissing me, she mentioned that her own mother saw one back in 1952. My grandmother happened to call that next day and asked me about my sighting. She was very adamant about UFOs being real.
I did not know about UFO-related abductions back then (and neither did anyone else) and did not tie apparent missing time to the sighting. Little information had been gathered on UFOs by then; researchers and investigators had focused primarily on sightings and descriptions of these mysterious craft and little else. Human abductions by UFO craft were to be uncovered and made public later in the 1980's starting with the famous case of Betty and Barney Hill in a 1961 abduction in New Hampshire. UFOs made headlines from time to time in newspapers and magazines, and I maintained an interest in these mysterious sightings from age twelve when I first learned that there were serious books published on their possible existence. But, I never concluded that the UFO I saw was an actual ET-piloted craft; I simply stayed bewildered for many more years. But something in the back of my mind kept telling me to never forget this event; later on, I might one day be better able to figure it out.
I cannot recall any other unusual events of a possibly paranormal nature during my childhood. At age twenty-three, however, and well clear of childhood, I went to bed one night unusually depressed due to personal conflicts that had been building up over time in my personal life. I had been experiencing a series of personal problems that were taking their toll on me. I remember going to sleep in a very deep psychological state due to weighty problems on my mind that particular evening. At some point during the night, I awoke with the paralysis, again. The first time since childhood. As I realized I could not move, I naturally began to get scared-possibly a programmed response from the early childhood experiences. However, just as I began to feel fear, something in my mind said that it was okay, not to worry, everything's alright. It seemed to be my own thought, but it came out of the blue and clearly not from me, as far as I could tell. Yet, as soon as this happened, a complete calm fell over me-again, without any help from me. It was as if I had been made to stop feeling the fear- something I could not consciously do-even in a dream.
I lay there, calm, and suddenly became aware of a growing presence of some kind just off the right side near the foot of my bed. I could not look over to it to see if anything was really there due to my inability to move. But for some strange reason, I knew exactly where it was located. I could not tell if there was a being there or something else. I heard nothing and smelled nothing. It did not move. But, I could feel its intensity growing steadily stronger for what seemed like a few minutes. This "intensity" gradually reached a peak as I lay there perfectly awake but alert and unable to move-wondering all the while what it was. Then, the intensity began to wane gradually at the same rate it had built up until there was no longer any feeling of its presence. It seemed as though the entire experience lasted several minutes. Strangely, I was still not scared. And, the paralysis eventually went away in the next few minutes as I expected. I then looked over to the exact spot near the bed where the source of the event occurred. As expected, there was nothing there. I lay there and wondered what that was all about and tried to make sure that nothing would stop me from remembering the experience the next day. Despite feeling wide awake, I then fell into a deep sleep. When I awoke the next day, I was relieved to see that I had remembered the event. But, unexpectedly, I began to feel that I had been given a message of some sort, telepathically, by whatever visited me. For all I knew, the mysterious source near my bed could have been an actual being of some kind or perhaps a portal, instead, where a message could be sent to me by something on the other side. As I went through my normal routine that next day, it seemed that some meaning of the event was starting to manifest in my mind. And, over time, things began to come to me.
Eventually, I did conclude that a message had been given to me-mainly to tell me not to worry about my personal problems-for things were going to change for me, personally, over a certain time frame in the very near future-that my life was going to take a new direction that would be better. Long story short: things did change in the time frame I had been given. I seemed to have been given a premonition of some kind that night that slowly came to me over a period of time. A "time-delayed" message received in some telepathic way. Whoever or whatever it was, I did not know; but, the visitor-or whatever it was-clearly did not strike me as an "angel" or a "ghost" in the traditional sense. But, from then on, I knew for certain that there was definitely a paranormal world of some kind that most of humanity knew little or nothing about. Curiously, my mental health gradually improved from that day forward and I never reached that deep a mental state again. Looking back, I do believe that my seriously depressed mental state had attracted whatever it was. And just like in my childhood, I was never able to entertain the notion that it all could have been a dream.
I feel certain that many other apparently paranormal events happened over my lifetime and were never remembered. All the events I do remember are therefore probably just a fraction of my total experiences. But, things did not stop at this point.
The next event I can remember that may have ties to the paranormal occurred fifteen years later and involves waking up one morning in a US Navy barracks with a small, pointy object protruding slightly from a place next to my navel. I could see the point (like the tip of a pencil) of something that seemed to be imbedded just under the skin-made of a plastic-like material the same color as fingernail. Strangely, every time I looked at it and wondered what it was, I immediately lost interest and would go about my normal routine. That was clearly not normal behavior for me, and I noted that-but, I would do nothing about it-as if I was programmed to leave it alone. I could grab it barely if my finger nails were long, but each time I tugged on the thing, it would not budge. It did not hurt at all, but the tissue immediately around it stayed infected for the several weeks it stayed there. It looked just like a pimple with the infected area around it. Curiously, I left it alone the entire time-as if I might have been subconsciously instructed to do so much in the way of a hypnotic instruction. I didn't know to tie this to alien abductions or anything else at the time. I knew almost nothing about those subjects back then. While aboard a US Navy ship a few weeks later, one of my crewmates noticed it while I was in the showers and suggested I get it looked at by the ship's medical staff. I told him it didn't bother me but I would think about giving the medical department a visit. However, I did not go. A few days later, the same gentleman asked me about it, again. I looked down, and it was gone. It was as if it had never been there in the first place. What makes this case so interesting to me, now, is the fact that, somehow, someone had secretly taken me out of a military barracks in the middle of the night on a military air base, implanted me with something then returned me back to where I was taken from-apparently without being noticed by anyone. Even more intriguing is the fact that while out at sea, apparently the same someone secretly removed me from inside a military aircraft carrier with a crew of 5,000-many of whom worked the night shift-removed my implant and secretly returned me to my location inside the ship without drawing any attention, whatsoever-to my knowledge. I had no conscious memory of anything paranormal happening during this time. I did not mentally tie this to anything paranormal, such as ETs, until much later after I was discharged from the US Navy when I became more knowledgeable about UFOs and alien abductions and such. By this time, TV documentaries on UFOs were becoming popular on cable television.
Up to this point, all I really felt I could conclude was that there definitely existed a paranormal realm with beings of some kind due to my bedroom encounter at age twenty-three. But that was all I could figure about the world beyond the human realm based on what all I had experienced. I believed at the time that UFOs flown by ETs were probably real, but I did not feel that real UFOs near Earth existed in large numbers. By this time, I had been an avid amateur astronomer with no strange sightings of anything anomalous in many years of stargazing (naked-eye as well as through sizable telescopes). But, things were about to change at this point.
I finished my time in the US Navy in 1992. In 1994, I had my own astronomy club in my home town. During one particular stargazing session, I observed a telescopic object in space-a craft that was not identifiable as anything currently manufactured and operated by the human race. I actually filed a UFO report and talked to a UFO investigator about my sighting. I could do little but wonder about it for some time. But, five years later, in 1999, I saw video on a TV documentary of the same type craft seen close to the ground in another part of the world.
This was a major revelation in my life. At this point, there was no longer any doubt that unidentified flying objects did indeed exist-especially in light of the fact that my sighting was confirmed to be an object in space high above earth's atmosphere-and too large in size to be any human-built satellite. I concluded that since some of these types of craft were seen over buildings in highly populated cities, a secret military project could be ruled out as a likely explanation. These were spacecraft that had been seen very close to the ground by hundreds and hundreds of people and acknowledged even by the military of that country. A top secret government project of this technological sophistication would not be exposed to the rest of the world for any sane reason. I had now confirmed that not only did some kind of unseen paranormal world exist; I had also confirmed that our skies were being overflown by craft of nonhuman origin directly observed to be capable of space flight.
I immediately began in earnest, at this time in my life, to find out what was going on. All my life I had thought that UFOs might be real. Now I knew they were. I also now knew that much alien interaction with individual human beings were reportedly taking place on a large scale-including alien abductions. But my next concern was where government officials were in all this. Surely, if I knew these things existed, they did, too. Why were they keeping it quiet? I decided to become an investigator and go out into the world and meet some of the other people who had also experienced UFOs to find out what the real situation out in the field might be. The books and magazines and TV documentaries were no longer enough to satisfy me.
Once I became a field investigator and researcher of UFOs, I began to have new sightings. And, I quickly realized there was no way these could be "random" sightings. I was meant to see them for some reason. This made me realize that I was being moved in the direction I was heading not due to my own desires but due to circumstances constructed by someone else-somewhere in the paranormal world. I began to update myself on what all knowledge had been gathered about UFOs since the 1940's when reports in numbers seemed to have started. By the year 2000, much had been learned thanks to tireless researchers over the previous decades to whom I owe much gratitude. Some of the testimonies from witness experiences had similarities to my own experiences. I was struck hard when I learned of a condition called, "Sleep Paralysis", associated with alien abductions and encounters with various types of other paranormal beings. It was believed that ETs first disable a human being by paralyzing them before carrying them away during an abduction. So, I wasn't the only one in the world waking up paralyzed in bed with weird events happening around me. There was nothing wrong with me, after all, it appeared. I had simply had experiences long before other people had begun talking about them.
Paranormal events-involving me-picked up in frequency immediately after I became an investigator. Occasional sightings of strange lights and sometimes craft. And, I immediately began having occasional experiences of sleep paralysis-for the first time since early adulthood. The paranormal world seemed to be knocking on my door. Circumstances would seem to lead me too often to other witnesses (as if randomly) telling me of their experiences and to places where I would have actual sightings of UFOs. These circumstances, I later learned and concluded, were due to synchronicity, a term used to explain unlikely situations that occur too coincidentally not to have been secretly orchestrated by some unseen entities. I was able to learn of the personal experiences of many others- some of who had experienced a lifetime of events going back to their childhoods. I was able to witness many more UFOs in the skies and even photograph one UFO-as well as other strange aerial anomalies that I have not figured out, yet. And even though most of my paranormal events had been UFO-related, I had also been able to record sounds made by apparent ghosts in a haunted location and pick up a few related images in photographs and video tape.
I now believe that I have been involved in paranormal events of some kind dealing with UFO-related entities all my life-going back to the childhood sleep paralysis and nightmares-and possibly back to my birth. I feel certain that a small percentage of these apparently paranormal events have ever been consciously recognized. I believe that once I became an investigator, as was apparently meant to be, I was allowed to become consciously aware of just enough to keep me convinced of the reality of the phenomenon and that if I would continue to pursue it and share what I leaned with the rest of the human race, more would be revealed to me over time. Perhaps this is all a part of a very gradual awakening for the human race to the fact that we are not alone and never have been. And the ETs had chosen me, it seemed--and many other individual humans around the world-to help alert the human race to their existence in a way that wouldn't breed panic and hostility. Over the course of time, I was able to document several more sightings and even indoor experiences with the UFO entities. Moreover, I had confirmed that ghosts did indeed exist in what we call the world of the supernatural.
There is much knowledge that has been gained by other researchers during my lifetime regarding the paranormal world. And some of it is coming to light. Many human beings are now engaged in exploring the subject. And, more people are coming forward with their stories. Plus, communications technology has never made it easier than now for anyone to share their knowledge and ideas about these mysterious matters. Even field investigations of ghosts and UFOs are frequently shown on television, these days. The public is gradually becoming more aware.
Dealing with the world of the paranormal is one giant mind game. Does a certain object or being exist…or not? Is something real, or is it nothing more than a misperception? An illusion? An hallucination? Since we human beings experience everything in daily life exclusively through our limited brains-and understand all things through our mental perceptions and naturally biased reasoning-plus gather continuous information at all times through our limited five senses……then anything that we do experience is ultimately a mental experience. But whether or not any of these paranormal mental experiences are the result of a real experience, one must learn to think outside the box and look for any seemingly anomalous, telltale signs. When it comes to reality, it could be that our concept of reality is actually limited and not complete.
There are many aspects of the paranormal world to explore-too many for any one individual. It will take a long time for researchers and investigators to confirm much of what is reported. And, some of the phenomenon may be evolving, too-especially the ET-related portion. This makes everything more complicated.
I have not been able to confirm every aspect of what I have explored thus far. But, fortunately, I have been able to confirm certain aspects-enough to know for an absolute fact that paranormal phenomena are real-from ghosts to ETs. In order to contribute the most I can to this web site, I have decided to focus primarily on what I have actually confirmed and know for myself to be real, beyond any doubt whatsoever. All other aspects of paranormal phenomena I will treat as speculation until proven-being careful not to draw conclusions too quickly or too often.

PARIS (Reuters) - Le Havre reserve player Samba Diop has died at the age of 18, the Ligue 2 club said on Saturday.
"Le Havre is in mourning. It is with deep sadness that the members of the club have heard that Samba Diop has died," Le Havre said in a statement.
Local radio station France Bleu reported that Diop, one of the key defenders in the club's reserve team, was found dead at his home on Saturday.
The French League said the Ligue 2 game between Stade de Reims and Le Havre, scheduled for Saturday, had been postponed as a result of Diop's death.
French football has been hit by a series of deaths in recent weeks.
Last week, 12-year-old Baptiste Le Foll, one of En Avant Guingamp's youth academy players, died suddenly, three weeks after Tours FC youth academy player Thomas Rodriguez died aged 18.

GridCoin's Market Potential
POLONIEX:GRCBTC Gridcoin Research / Bitcoin
76 lượt xem
I am no longer invested in Gridcoin as much as I used to, but may decide to back it again. I realize the potential GRC has technologically and that is why I liked it years ago. That being said, Gridcoin is literally the cryptocurrency of distributed computing. It maximizes hashing in order to solve mathematically and scientifically difficult problems globally. This is what a true P2P network is. I believe right now it reached numerous negative correlations, and has the opportunity for a market dip where it could potentially reach 5 to 7 times the market cap it has now in the long future. I personally rate it medium to high risk but believe given its potential and correlation resistance, it is worth giving a shot.

San Francisco: Helpshift, the company revolutionizing the customer service industry through its AI-powered conversational messaging platform, today announced the launch of the Helpshift Partner Program. The new program will deliver developer and go-to-market support for organizations that partner with Helpshift to grow their businesses, transform the customer experience, and deliver better conversations to their customers.
"This new partner program represents a unique opportunity for services companies looking to help their clients transform to support the digital economy," said Chuck Coulson, Vice President of Business Development & Alliances at Helpshift. "With the Helpshift API and other developer tools, we are laying the groundwork for a new ecosystem that will add significant value to the Helpshift platform and, most importantly, to our customers."
Over the past six years, Helpshift has redefined the customer experience industry by delivering a world-class customer support platform. The company also recently launched SensAI, the first artificial intelligence natively built for customer service. Using SensAI, brands can automate the support process to make service interactions more human—while reducing time to resolution, optimizing operations, lowering overhead in the contact center, and improving day-to-day life for agents.
The vast majority of existing Helpshift customers have been able to self-deploy with the guidance of Helpshift's customer success department. As Helpshift has grown and expanded, however, the needs of the company's customer base have diversified. Through the new partner program, Helpshift customers now have access to additional services, including:
Helpshift services partners include 5CA, Goodbay Technologies, ModSquad, and Keywords Solutions. These partners provide support to Helpshift customers who want to implement the Helpshift platform but do not have the development resources or domain expertise to get started on their own. These partners are staffed to provide the trained support agents brands require to implement a business process outsourcing (BPO) model.
"5CA chose to partner with Helpshift because they make it easy to deliver quality conversational support," said Peter Gerson, Vice President of Sales and Business Development for 5CA. "Helpshift's messaging-first approach and focus on AI and automation capabilities really help drive efficiency without compromising the quality of the customer experience. We've enjoyed working with Helpshift these past few years and look forward to an even closer relationship in the years to come."
Helpshift technology partners include Directly, Limitless, Playvox, and Unbabel. These partners provide extensions to the Helpshift platform or integration to other systems, such as CRM, order management, and telephony platforms.
"From the very beginning, we loved the unique value proposition Helpshift offers customers," said Edmund Ovington, the VP of Global Alliances for Unbabel. "We had some things in common, including the gaming and retail verticals and the shift toward messaging in customer service. We knew Helpshift was the right partner for us, and we are excited to join forces."

Alexa Chung Just Solved the Airport Style Dilemma We've All Experienced
Alexa Chung has long been regarded as a purveyor of cool, known for her uncanny ability to make even the simplest wardrobe staples like jeans and blazers look infinitely more desirable. It should come as no surprise, then, that she just pulled off an airport outfit that's totally utilitarian yet, on paper, a likely style faux pas.
We've all experienced the unpredictable climate of an airplane cabin, in which it's entirely possible to be sweating bullets one moment and turning ice cold another. But what's a girl to do, tote a small army of outerwear options on her person? According to Chung, the answer is yes.
With her signature uniform of slim denim, a vintage-looking T-shirt, and ankle boots serving as the base, she slung a fuzzy jacket over her shoulders to serve as one makeshift blanket while tying a cargo topper at the waist, presumably ready as backup. How she's made this combo work, we can only chalk up to her sartorial sensibilities. And it's encouraging to us that when in need, we could try something similar.

PITTSBURGH - Plenty of questions about the Port Authority of Allegheny County have come up recently, and members of an Allegheny County Council committee want some answers.
Council's government reform committee will meet on Wednesday with officials from PAT and its union to discuss everything from recent fare hikes and route cuts to allegations of deliberate service delays for the authority's light rail system and shuttle buses for a recent Steelers playoff game.
Fourth district representative Michael Finnerty said his biggest concerns are over the shuttles and the problems with the T; in that instance, riders reported serious delays on the light-rail lines not long after T drivers were disciplined for exceeding speed limits.
"There is a balance there between the union and management that we need to find," said Finnerty, a member of the committee whose district includes towns from North Fayette Township to Carnegie. "The delays are unacceptable, but it's also possible to push the union too hard when you ask them to keep a tight schedule without exceeding the speed limits."
Finnerty said he also wants to talk about an apparent staffing shortage that led to delays for fans trying to use the authority's shuttle buses to Heinz Field for the Steelers' playoff game against Baltimore.
"That might sound like a trivial thing, but it's not," he said. "People rely on those shuttles, and they help keep a lot of traffic away from the stadium. If they're not running on time, that's a huge problem."
Finnerty said the hearing would also include a discussion about the authority's well-known financial difficulties. Even with a $45 million infusion from former Gov. Ed Rendell, the authority was forced to hike fares Jan. 1 and will implement route cuts and layoffs in March to make up for a cut in state funding.
Finnerty said the route cuts will hit his district hard; for example, a West Busway route between Crafton and Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood was overwhelmed with riders after a recent decrease in runs.
The new route cuts will drive riders to start using their cars more often, he said; that means additional problems on the region's roads and highways.
"It very much is a vicious circle," he said. "We have to find a way to ensure that the authority is keeping its customers happy."
