Sometime after the conclusion of her solo series, Kate Bishop searches for a team after a bad encounter with sharks that have somehow gotten to run through Santa Monica. But all is not easy for this newly-formed team as personalities clash.
Writer: Kelly Thompson
Artist: Stefano Caselli
Color Artist: Triona Farrell
Letterer: VC's Joe Caramagna
Cover: Stefano Caselli & Nolan Woodard
Variants: Mike McKone & Jesus Aburton; Paul Renaud; Terry Dodson & Rachel Dodson; Lauren Tsai
Graphic Designer: Carlos Lao
Editor: Alanna Smith
Clint Barton recounts Kate Bishop leading a herd of sharks in Santa Monica back towards the ocean. Upon convincing Kate to gather a team, she does interviews for a few dozen "superheroes" before settling on America Chavez, her boyfriend Jonathan a.k.a Fuse, Gwenpool, and Quentin Quire. Shenanigans ensue while Kate talks with the reality show team who is setting up their headquarters.
The story of West Coast Avengers #1 was a rather easy read and it felt as though there was a through-line from Clint discussing to the humorous final page. Each character felt true to what had come before instead of a jarring shift in characterization as can happen in comics. Stefano Caselli's art and Triona Farrell's colors made Santa Monica feel lived in and made me feel as though I were re-visiting the town after being away for a while. A character I've grown attached to since first reading this is Doctor Mole.

What's the connection between obesity and breast cancer?
There are many different factors that can elevate your risk of developing breast cancer. Some of these are uncontrollable, such has having a mutation on the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene or having dense breasts.
Others are considered controllable, such as how much you exercise and whether you eat a balanced, nutritious diet. Obesity, or being overweight, is one such "lifestyle factor" that many doctors consider to be a controllable risk factor for developing breast cancer that can also impact mortality rates.
The World Health Organization defines overweight and obesity as "abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health." Using the simple calculation of weight-for-height known as the body mass index, adults with a BMI greater than or equal to 25 are said to be overweight, while adults with a BMI greater than or equal to 30 are considered obese. (You can calculate your own BMI with this online calculator from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.)

According to WHO estimates, 1.9 billion adults age 18 and older – some 39 percent of the world's adult population – were overweight in 2016. Of them, 650 million people or about 13 percent of the adult population (11 percent of men and 15 percent of women) worldwide were obese in 2016.
Meanwhile, figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that 70.7 percent of American adults over age 20 are overweight, and 37.9 percent of American adults over age 20 are obese.
Clearly, being too heavy is a global phenomenon, and being overweight or obese has been associated with a number of other chronic health problems including heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
The connection between a high BMI and breast cancer specifically is well-established. A high BMI has been isolated as a risk factor for developing the disease for many years, but more recently it's been noted as impacting mortality rates. A 2014 review study in Annals of Oncology indicated that "in breast cancer survivors, higher BMI is consistently associated with lower overall and breast cancer survival, regardless of when BMI is ascertained."

The findings also indicated that when compared with normal-weight women, obese women had a 21 to 41 percent higher risk for total mortality and a 25 to 68 percent increased risk for breast cancer mortality, depending on how much time had passed since their breast cancer diagnosis. The study recommended that maintaining a BMI of between 18.5 and 24.9 is best for survival.
[See: 10 Medical Services Medicare Doesn't Cover.]
But why does being overweight contribute to the development of cancer? Scientists are still figuring out the exact mechanism, but it seems there's a connection among fatty tissue, hormones and inflammation.
Part of the problem is likely due to the fact that adipose tissue, or fat, "secretes a lot of hormones and is part of the metabolism of the body. Adipose tissue is probably the largest endocrine organ in the body," says Dr. Sagar Sardesai, assistant professor of medicine at the Stefanie Spielman Comprehensive Breast Center at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
In a lean patient, this process is in balance, so it does not typically pose an issue. But in an overweight patient, an increase in circulating hormones can lead to inflammation, and this inflammation could lead to cancer developing. "As the [amount of] adipose tissue goes up and grows larger, it often gets what I call angry," or inflamed. Inflammation is associated with cancer, so the more inflammation in the body, the better the chances that cancer could develop.
RELATED: Warning signs and risk factors of breast cancer

Dr. Neil Iyengar, a medical oncologist focusing on patients with breast cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, explains the series of steps in which the growth of fatty tissue may lead to inflammation that could subsequently trigger cancer.
"The fatty tissue is a very active tissue, and it serves the purpose of maintaining homeostasis and ensuring that all of our metabolic processes are in order," he says. But it needs an adequate blood supply to conduct these activities, and as it expands, it can outgrow this supply.
"As soon as we put on too much fat or the fat tissue outgrows its blood supply and nutrition support, then that tissue becomes diseased and can no longer fulfill its multiple functions of maintaining metabolic homeostasis," he says. He says the fat cells die, and then the immune system tries to clear the dead cells out. But that's difficult to do because fat cells are among the largest cells in the body, "so it becomes an inefficient process."
This can lead to hormones being produced, including estrogen precursors that can directly stimulate the growth of breast cancer tumors. "But in addition to hormones, you have secretion of inflammatory molecules that can stimulate tumor growth. It's inflammation in a diseased fat pad that is leading to the building blocks, so to speak, that allows tumors to overtake that process and start to grow," Iyengar says.
RELATED: Celebrities who have publicly battled breast cancer
See Gallery
This process is similar to how a wound heals, Iyengar says. "The obese fat pad is a dysfunctional fat pad that is inflamed. On a molecular level, it resembles a healing wound because there are inflammatory molecules, there's collagen being laid down, fibrous tissue being laid down and there are new blood vessels that are trying to develop. A healing wound is good when you're trying to heal a trauma that happens in an acute setting, but chronically, that kind of situation can lead to tumor development," he says.
[See: 7 Innovations in Cancer Therapy.]
No matter what the exact pathway is, the moral of the story is to try to keep your weight at a healthy level. More specifically, it's important to keep your fat levels in check all through life. Diet and exercise are the best tools with the fewest side effects currently available to control your weight, so speak with your doctor or a nutritional counselor about the best ways to maintain a healthy weight and activity level for the long term.
And keep in mind that maintaining that healthy weight becomes both more important and more difficult as we age. Gaining weight is a common phenomenon as the body changes with age. For women, menopause, which occurs on average at age 51, is a particular point of challenge that causes many to gain weight. The earliest stages of menopause, called perimenopause, can start when a woman is still in her 40s.
RELATED: Build A Breast Cancer-Fighting Menu
See Gallery
"Weight gain in the years leading up to menopause is especially [problematic], particularly for estrogen-sensitive breast cancers," Sardesai says. It also gets a lot harder to shed excess pounds after menopause. So keep an eye on the scale as you go, and hopefully you can keep the pounds at bay now to help reduce your risk of developing breast cancer or improve your outlook later.

This is one for all my guy's out there, and it's a massive game changer when it comes to men's grooming, I'm also going to try to make it a 5 minute read due to the nature of the post, I will say though there is so much coming and I have a lot of things I'm excited to share with you all!
I know I was the last man to find out about Philips OneBlade – and personally I'm a little sad that none of my men didn't DM me and tell me I happen to know I have 1 or 2 drag queens who follow me – and I know it's very large within the drag community, although with that thought I've never voiced my hate for shaving and getting razor burn easily so that might be my bad so its 50 / 50 blame game.
Anyone of my dudes out there who didn't know there was a saviour out there, I got you! Every male should know about Philips OneBlade just because it's one of the best grooming tools I have ever used. Men don't talk about their skin a lot or really take care of it but they should, most men suffer from sensitive skin but don't do anything about it when they should be.
OneBlade is waterproof but I wouldn't recommend bringing it into the shower with you, you can just wash the tip after you are done with it and spray with a alcohol spray to insure the blade is fully clean and ready for your next use.
Edge ➡ Create precise edges with the dual-sided blade. You can shave in either direction to get great visibility and see every hair that you're cutting. It stays comfortable even on sensitive areas, so it's fast and easy to line up your style in seconds.
Shave ➡ OneBlade doesn't shave as close as a traditional blade – so your skin stays comfortable. Go against the grain and shave off any length of hair easily.
Guard ➡Attach the skin guard for an extra layer of protection on sensitive areas. I don't think that any man would be unhappy with this grooming tool, as a gift or just because you love him or to treat yourself, it's the ultimate tool and its my first Can't Live Without '19 item because I tried even to just shave normally and it was uncomfortable and I got that stupid bumps from the razor it doesn't matter of there is one blade to 8 blades, it always happens to me from sensitivity.
Check out my last post ➡ JWLS – Timepieces With a Purpose| M A K E U P x T H E C I T Y and if you have any question shoot me a DM on my social and I will always answer!
Don't forget to share this to a man in your life!

In Texas, anyway. And if it's legal there…
Mr. Miller,
I have found in you a voice for all the decent citizens concerns for the political and social climate we find ourselves in, especially the assault on our democratic foundation. Ballot Box manipulation and voter fraud must be a grave issue because all TV stations are covering this topic in detail.
Well, some citizens–Democrats, Republicans and Independents–are doing something about it. We feel privileged to pass this information to you and hope you can distribute this across the nation in time before the election. This could have a national impact if all voters use this safeguard.
Please review the following information. It would be great to hear your response. If you need the PDF file from the office of the Texas Secretary of State clearly outlining that there is no ruling AGAINST voter using the camera to copy his vote for his record, we will be glad to forward it to you..

Subject: Camera
I voted at the Austin Parkway Conference center in Sugar Land Texas..
I took my digital camera with me.
I showed it to the presiding officer at the location.
I asked him if I can take a picture of my "selection pages" i.e., pages listing my selected candidates.
He said "YES".
"don't take pictures of others' selections" was his advice.
I am not interested in others. I want mine for my own record" I said.
I have photos of my selections.
You can have yours too. Take your camera. May be your cell phone does it too.
If this is NOT CONTESTED and if this news spreads, e-machine fraud possibility can be reduced.
Some legal fight is likely.
Is it not my "right" to have a copy of "who I voted for"?
Give it a try.
I spoke with the office of the Secretary of State a few minutes ago. They are quoting the attached document as the basis.In summary only the Poll Watchers cannot make an Audio or video copy of the vote.
There is no legal opinion from the State of Texas on VOTERS.
So Voters can take cameras to the polling booths.
Please make 100s of copies of that legal document and give it to your volunteers at the polling stations.
If someone should object usage of camera show them the Ruling by the State.
Good Luck.

Grass growth rates turn for the better
After a challenging period of summer drought, grass growth rates are starting to move in the right direction.
Figures from PastureBase Ireland show that grass growth rates are strongest in the west and north, with growth rates of 70kg/ha/day and 67kg/ha/day recorded in Connacht and Ulster respectively. Some heavy soils are experiencing very high growth rates (80-100kg/ha/day), particularly in the north-west region.
Meanwhile, grass growth rates in Leinster and Munster are proving slower to move. An average growth rate of 50kg/ha/day was recorded in Munster, while Leinster was just 4kg/ha/day ahead at 54kg/ha/day.
Soil moisture deficits
Soil moisture deficits are remaining stubbornly high in the south and east of the country, according to Met Eireann.
A slow improvement was noted in recent days, but values continue to range between 50mm and 60mm. In the west and north, recent rainfall has reduced soil moisture deficits. Meanwhile, drying conditions are likely to be about average for this time of year in the coming days.
Met Eireann also forecasts that rainfall for the coming week will be around normal for most of the country, but above normal in the north and along the west coast. The bulk of this rain is expected on Saturday.
Grass advice
When it comes to managing grass during the month of August, Teagasc offers the following advice:
- The target rotation length for August is 30 days to build grass for the autumn. Supplementation will have to continue to build grass on farms (about 300kg/LU by August 31);
- Keep silage ground closed after second cut and aim to harvest a third cut on this ground. Fertilise accordingly;
- Continue to graze to 4cm;
- It is clear from PastureBase Ireland farms that growth rate has increased over the last seven days. Farms must be walked weekly to monitor grass supply and to build grass for the autumn;
- There is rain in the forecast for this week. This is an opportunity for farmers to spread fertiliser to build grass for the autumn.

To Mrs.. D and all the other student teachers at Little Tots,
I want to let you all know how much my husband and I love that our son, Bryce was able to attend Little Tots pre-school. When Bryce started school he was not used to interacting with kids his own age and had problems with stuttering and speaking in the third person. Since his time at Little Tots, he know longer stutters and does not refer to himself third person when he speaks. We find that when he is home he is singing songs and teaching my husband and I activities that he has learned at school. He is much better with sharing and has made some really good friends and looks forward to his days at school when he can see them again. There are some things he has shown me that I didn't even know he knew,and I am impressed with the level of knowledge he has at only three years old.
Read more...
People often ask me why I drive so far to take Jake to preschool. "Don't you have any schools where you live?" they say. And I always reply with the same answer, "Of course, but Little Tot is the BEST."
Ms. Borrero has a true gift in her ability to create and implement a program that works for EVERY child at Little Tot. Jake has some special needs and challenging behaviors and I was very nervous to send him to preschool. However, Ms. Borrero assured me that she and her staff would find ways to help Jake succeed. He has come so far, and Little Tot is the safe, nurturing environment that let him be who he is and figure out school at his own pace. I am so grateful to have this wonderful school and these fabulous women educating Jake. I am confident that he has gained the skills and knowledge necessary to be a successful Kindergartner in the fall.
And during that same fall, Cameron will start Little Tot, a little adventurer who already thinks he runs the school. Ms. Borrero and the staff at Little Tot will have their hands full with him but I know they are up to the challenge!
We are truly fortunate to have a Nationally Accredeted, licensed, nursery school program in our area. I am so thankful to Ms. Borrero and the staff at Little Tot for providing a quality early childhood program at an affordable price. And for taking the time to make Little Tot well worth the drive. You truly are the BEST!

17 Signs He's Actually Unhappy in Your Marriage
Everything in your relationship or in your marriage was going great — until it wasn't. Things used to be so easy but now things seem a bit off, and you can't shake the nagging feelings that your partner, your spouse, is unhappy. So what do you do? The obvious response is to ask him or her but if you're not ready to confront those issues head-on or you want to continue to pretend that everything is OK and you have no marital problems, that's fine, we get it.
For now, however, you might want to keep a lookout for some red flags and whether his unhappiness is a permanent thing. April Masini, relationship and etiquette expert of Relationship Advice Forum, weighed in with her thoughts and marriage advice on what you need to be concerned about and how you can fix things and save your marriage — if it's not too late.
The sex wanesThis one might be the most obvious so let's get it out of the way first. Masini describes sex as "a great barometer for the health of a relationship." And while it doesn't have to be a daily or even weekly thing, the relationship expert insists "it has to be regular in order for you to understand that things are on the right track."
Busy lives aside, if you determine he's just not interested in sex with you, Masini suggests seducing your partner. "It's a way to reconnect and nurture your bond. Set the mood, stow the kids with babysitters or grandparents for the night, clear the clutter from the bedroom (or wherever you want to stage your seduction), put on the music and chill the wine." At that point, the ball's in his court. If he's still not interested, then there are bigger things to worry about than sexy lingerie and candles.
He feels like he can't make you happyIf life hasn't been easy — from marriage and kids to work and money problems — it's easy to focus on the disappointing rather than the good. And it's easy for men to think the onus is on them and they're responsible for everyone's happiness. Instead, reassure him and let him know you're in this together and if you both make the effort and recognize each other's efforts, things will get better.
The compliments stop rolling inSigh. This one's just sad. Because it's nice to know when someone, your person, appreciates how hilarious you are, or something awesome you did, or your new haircut. When that comes to an end, insecurities abound.
"Start complimenting him, and he'll mirror your behavior," suggests Relationship Advice Forum's go-to expert. "If you want to jog his memory of his feelings for you, try telling him he looks great, or thank him for things he's doing — and see if has just forgotten his manners, or if there's a deeper reason that he's not interested in making you feel good." If it's the former, that's not ideal either — but better than the alternative.
Important conversations are avoidedWhile most women want to hash out an issue ASAP, men would rather distance themselves from it or, better yet, sweet that shizz under a rug. Instead of bringing up any issues during an argument about something unrelated, leave it until things have cooled down. Just don't wait too long.
He's stressed about everythingIt's easy to feel overwhelmed by just about everything and for some, they blame the person who's in it with them. Yes, you can shoulder that burden — to a point. But as long as he knows you're in this together, that you're the stress reliever, not the cause of it and you're ready to tackle anything that comes your way, that should be his wakeup call.

He's got his phone on lockdownOr worse, you discover a cell phone you didn't know about. "The cell phone is usually the breadcrumbs that lead you to an affair or to cheating," warns Masini. "When your partner is flirting with other people, those relationships and that behaviour will show up in texts, calls and email messages."
But don't snoop, says Masini. "Anything you do that makes him feel backed into a corner is going to blow up in your face. Instead, realize that he's gone off the rails and you have a part in that." He might be doing something unsavoury but there are two people in the marriage and you have to own up to any part you may have played as well.
RELATED: Remember, though, trust is key.
Date nights are a thing of the pastBusy lives are one thing, says Masini, "but when there's a free Saturday night and he's just not interested in taking you out, it's because he's losing interest in the relationship."
She suggests creating romantic evenings yourself but don't go over-the-top so he goes running for the hills. "Start by surprising him with beautiful dinners at home, or suggesting dinners out together. It sounds simple, but it actually takes some energy and it's one of the first things to go. So get it back because it's an important way for couples to feel married."
RELATED: That's right, getting date nights back is a start to a happy marriage.
He stops taking care of himselfThere was a time when you used to care about what you looked like. You worked out, got haircuts regularly, wore more than just sweats. "When your partner stops doing that," says Masini, "he's showing you that he's not that interested in you and the relationship." Because he's already got you; he no longer feels that need to impress.
Masini believes a compliment goes a long way, whether you're telling how nice he looks, or when he wears his hair a particularly flattering way. Or treat him to some new clothes or get him a gift certificate for a salon or his barber shop. "Don't over do it, but do start dropping breadcrumbs that will lead him towards a makeover. Many times your partner has let himself go without realizing. It may remind him that he likes pleasing you. And if it doesn't, you'll know there are bigger problems at hand."
He starts taking care of himselfYour partner could also go the other way and if he's gone from cargo pants, torn tees and flip-flops and couch-potatoing the night away to button-down that have been ironed, slim-fitting jeans and shoes cobbled by an actual designer and now goes to the gym and uses actual product on his hair, it might be that he's trying to impress someone other than you.
The littlest thing sets him offIt's one thing to be angry but to get defensive for no reason is a whole other crappy ballgame. Guilt is likely the main cause, and he's deflecting. It can be tough to take, and hard for any marriage to bounce back from, but as long as you're aware that it's him, not you, and you communicate that, that's about all you can do.
RELATED: Twitter.com/rolldiggWhy you need to communicate in any relationshipity.
Argues about anything and everythingYou don't always have to agree on things. But if the sky's blue, the sky's blue. If he's going to battle you and say it's pink, or fight about what to make for dinner, or fire off the lowest of blows, just because, that's premeditated. They want to hurt you, it makes them feel good. This one's stemming from a problem or some sort of resentment and it takes a tough nut to find a way to discuss the situation before they crack completely.
RELATED: There are good, healthy ways to argue.
The fighting stops all togetherThis sounds like a good thing — but in many cases, it means one or both of you have just given up. And once the unresolved conflict continues to grow and fester, that'll only leave you feeling closed off from the other.
"Try something different," recommends Masini. of Relationship Advice Forum. "For instance, try complimenting your partner. Disarming someone with sugar can get them talking."
He barely talks at allIf all you're trying to do is having a simple conversation and his responses are basically caveman grunts, that's only going to lead to frustration. The best way to deal with that, Masini suggests, is to "try talking to him at different times of day. If he's not talking when he comes home from work, he may be burned out. Let him be, then try in the mornings. Or on the weekends."
Also? Ask questions — but be cagey. "Don't ask questions that require one word answers. Ask him provocative questions that require a conversation."
He starts hanging out with single or unhappily married guysNope. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. "When you're dating and a guy is interested in you, he stops acting single and starts hanging out with other people in committed relationships," explains Masini. "Conversely, when he's losing interest in the marriage, he starts hanging out with other guys who are similarly unhappy in their marriages, or hang out with other bachelors and start acting like one."
According to Masini, "he's looking for interest and support and ideas outside your safe circle, because he's unhappy inside it. This behavior he's exhibiting is a symptom, so don't treat the symptom — treat the underlying problem."
Your partner starts developing relationships with singlesWhen you find your husband is focusing his time on single, presumably attractive people, it's because he's starting to have relationships. They might be platonic at this point but there are "emotional bonds forming between your husband and these other women who are looking for advice, which makes him feel valuable — and thereby, attractive," says Masini. "These can be phone calls, texting relationships and even getting together with these singles in front of you. He tricks himself, and you, into thinking that because you're aware of these relationships they're innocent and 'safe.'"
No way, scoffs Masini. "They're problems. He's looking outside the marriage while still in it." Her suggestion? If you don't want to start a fight, hang out with friends you both know and like and "refresh your 'friend system' with new people that you think are good influences and who will be good friends for your husband and for your marriage."
RELATED: You CAN have a successful marriage after infidelity.
He's rarely aroundHe makes it a point to be at the gym, hanging with friends, going for drinks after his shift or working late. Coming home should be a given, something he wants to do, but if he's avoiding you and spending the bulk of his time elsewhere, Masini thinks you need to give him something he can't resist, some "good-old-fashioned seduction." She adds: Enhance yourself. By doing so, you can enhance your marriage."
He no longer respects youThere are countless times in a marriage when you're not in agreement or the spark has dimmed, but "respect can carry you over those slumps and through those challenges," says Masini. When that courtesy is gone, it's only downhill from there. Because no one should have to stick around and put up with feeling anything less than what they are.

Many people like the island due to its stunning beaches, untouched natural environment, splendid surroundings, and fantastic scuba diving, snorkeling and squid fishing as well as many cultural and historical relics. The island is also endowed with biodiversity and most of the natural area has not been exploited yet so tourists not only have a chance to relax but also to explore riddles of nature. Once visiting here, tourists for Vietnam travel guide are recommended to stop by Khem Beach to get closer to nature, and glimpse locals' life and culture. Located about five kilometers from An Thiu Township and 25 kilometers from Duong Dong District, the beach is an ideal venue for travelers in Vietnam tours. The beach boasts stunning scenery with stone cliffs, forests and smooth, sandy beaches. The beach is not long and large like other beaches on the island, but it attracts tourists in Vietnam travel due to its tranquil space and poetic landscapes. Standing on the slopes of hills, tourists will see many boats sailing offshore and workers fishing onshore, creating a very peaceful and rustic fishing village. Many generations of locals survive due to fishing near Khem Beach. Day by day, they sail offshore on fishing boats or wooden boats from early morning to catch seafood, especially trich fish, a specialty of Phu Quoc. Today, the beach is developed with many restaurants and hotels so tourists can enjoy seafood made in local cuisine with dishes such as snails, clams, shrimp and various types of fish.

Are You A Psychopath?
Hey, are you a psychopath? If you really want to know the answer to that, you're in luck, because Salon has unearthed an Internet quiz that will tell you. And no, it's not a Buzzfeed quiz (though I give it about a week before Buzzfeed creates their own). No, this quiz comes courtesy of British television station Channel 4, so it actually has some sort of legitimacy. Kind of.
The quiz tells you how psychopathic you are, as a percentage. I for one scored a 48 percent, so I can proudly say I am less than half psychopath. My younger sister, who has accused me of being "psychotic" on several occasions might disagree, but oh well. I suppose I am more psychopathic than the average woman — women who take the quiz on average score about 30 percent. For guys who take the test it's 50 percent. No way of knowing how representative that truly is, though I do believe that people who read the Financial Times are more psychopathic than readers of other newspapers. Makes total sense.
Channel 4 also includes a quiz testing your ability to guess which historical figures are the most psychopathic. Quick tip: Hitler is not at the top of the rankings.
Of course, if you do score high on the test, don't worry too much about it. For one thing, psychopaths are not necessarily violent. In clinical terms, psychopaths are people who lack empathy, and also tend to be highly charming and able to manipulate the people around them. Diagnosing someone as a psychopath doesn't automatically predict how that person will behave, and not all psychopaths engage in criminal behavior.
For another thing, the Channel 4 test might be fun, but it also isn't anything like the tests used by psychologists to determine psychopathy. The test most commonly used by professionals is the Hare Psychopathy Checklist, and because psychopaths can be so charming and manipulative, it's way more in-depth than a series of questions asking a subject to rate themselves on a four-point scale.
Still, the Channel 4 test does touch on all the important markers of psychopathy, from pragmatism to self-interest to charm. So if you're honest with yourself about your answers, it can tell you just how close to being a psychopath you really are.

The IDES Are Coming
by R.T. Lawton
Here we are, the 15th of March and it's a Friday. Ides was a term the old Romans used to mean "the middle of the month." Way back then under a different calendar, ides referred to the 15th day of the months of March, May, July and October. For the rest of the months, being shorter, their ides referred to the 13th day of those months.
In 49 BC, as Julius crossed that shallow river known as the Rubicon in northeastern Italy, an Etruscan haruspex (one who read sheep entrails for a living) by the name of Titus Spurinna, warned old Jules about the Ides of March. That was five years in advance of Julius' demise. Got no idea what high school guidance counselor recommended that up-to-your-elbows messy career to the Etruscan, but as it turned out, Titus sure found his calling when he predicted that one right. That was warning # 1.
Then later, in 44 BC as Julius went his merry way toward the Theater of Pompey, a site frequently used by the Roman Senate for meetings, he ran into a second seer who had also put out a warning. Caesar joked with this guy that the Ides of March had come and yet he was still here. Prophetically, the seer responded that yep the Ides had come, but they'd not yet gone. And we all know how that turned out.
So, maybe we should take a look at the Ides of March. Maybe it does have an unlucky omen to that day. Let's see if past history gives us a pattern of death, destruction and despair.
44 BC A good place to start. Julius Caesar got shanked 23 times by 60 conspirators. The crowd of eager participants must've really been thick around Jules because it appears that 37 of them didn't get a chance to dip their daggers.
280 AD Sun Hao of the Eastern Wu had to surrender to his enemies after losing all his battles. That was good for the upcoming Jin Dynasty, but not so good for Hao. Guess whether you believe that was a lucky or unlucky day depends upon which side you were on.
351 AD Constantius II elevates his cousin Gallus to Caesar of the Eastern part of the Roman Empire. Bad decision. Gallus subsequently plots to get rid of his benefactor. Not to make you paranoid, but it seems that no good deed goes unpunished.
933 AD King Henry of Germany decides to break his truce with the Magyars, so he sends them a dead dog. If the Hungarians had employed the services of a good haruspex to read the dog's entrails, perhaps they'd have realized they were about to receive the pointy end of the sword.
1493 AD Chris Columbus returns to Spain after his first trip to the Americas. He's all a blubber about the land he found. Look out Native Americans, a new real estate agent is coming to town.
1564 AD Akbar the Great of India abolishes the per capita tax. The result was corruption and disgruntled revenue officers.Nice try Akbar, but the subject of taxes keeps coming up. More later.
1781 AD General Cornwallis with 1,900 British troops defeats an American force of of 4,000 soldiers near present day Greensboro, South Carolina. Whatever happened to safety in numbers? Las Vegas odds makers would have lost their buckskin shirts on that one.
1888 AD Start of the Anglo-Tibetan War. The Brits were trying to keep the sun from setting on their far flung empire, while the Tibets were angling to keep their tax revenue to themselves. There we go with tax money again. Anyway, it was another war and those events almost always turn out badly for one side or both.
1916 AD President Wilson sends 4,800 troops under the command of General Black Jack Pershing over the Mexican Border to chase Pancho Villa. Jack never caught Pancho, but used the military experience in Mexico as prep for Wold War One. Pancho did not come out so good in the end. He got assassinated by his fellow countrymen and his skull was later stolen from his grave.
1917 AD Tsar Nicholas II, ruler of all the Russias, abdicates his throne. If he thought he had his back against the wall at that point, he was a little premature on the schedule, but the Bolsheviks got around to taking care of that.
1931 AD The S.S. Viking is off the coast of Newfoundland to get sensational filming of the annual seal bludgeoning when it gets stuck in the ice. Rocking the boat somehow sets off dynamite stored on board . 27 people die in the explosion. Wonder if that's where the old saying came from.
1939 AD German troops occupy the last bits of Czechoslovakia which then ceases to exist. Bad day for Czechs.
1990 AD Iraq hangs a British journalist who wanted to report on an explosion in their rocket factory. Saddam, after assuring PM Thatcher that it would be a fair and open trial for the journalist, secretly orders that the execution take place before Ramadan.
2011 AD The Syrian War begins and is still ongoing.
And for item number 15 of unlucky events tied to the Ides of March, we are back to taxes again. In 1918, the U.S. Congress set the deadline for federal income taxes being due as March 15th. I'm sure there was no connection between our Senate voting for that date as opposed to the Roman Senators bleeding Julius Caesar dry on the Ides of March. However, in 1954 Congress wised up and pushed the date further away to April 15th in an attempt to remove those possible negative connotations.
Enjoy your day, you now have one more month to hold onto your hard earned money.

Quite a collection! Thank you, RT.

RT, when I taught JULIUS CAESAR, we made a big deal out of the Ides of March, but I didn't know half (probably even a quarter) of these facts. A great read!

Good piece, but it seems to me that you could find at least as many unlucky events for any given date. I wonder which day has the MOST disasters associated?
Isaac Asimov wrote a Black Widowers story that hung on a detail you mention in your column. About Latin students, if I recall correctly.
And in Rex Stout's And Be A Villain Archie talks about March 15th requiring Wolfe to pay his federal taxes and quarterly self-employment taxes. "This great nation took him for a ride. Two rides. The Rides of March."
FInally (my, he does go on), when my familly visited Rome a few years ago we saw Teatro Argentina which has the ruins of four temples, and learned that it is right next to the Forum of Pompey where Caesar had his bad toga day. Now there is a cat shelter there and when we were there a very scholarly woman was giving lectures about the temples. All donations went to the cats. So I suspect March 15th is a good day for Rome's felines.

You kill me, buddy! This is great. The ides, crossing the Rubicon, taxes, et al.
"Got no idea what high school guidance counselor recommended that up-to-your-elbows messy career to the Etruscan" Perhaps it was something he just started digging into as a young boy. lol

Theres an Ellery Queen story "The ides of Michael mangoon" set on the old tax day of March 15. A period piece now. And a facebook friend of mine posted about his late father being born on the day, his great aunt said "Of course the Ides of March are evil, Jerry Lee McNeil was born on that day!"

The Law Offices of Amos & Kapral can make the difference.
Sadly, nursing home negligence and abuse is a growing problem in North Carolina. Nursing homes were designed so that individuals with health problems that were too much for home treatment could get the care they need in a comfortable environment. When these individuals do not receive proper care, it may be considered negligence on the part of the nursing home staff. Unfortunately, nursing home negligence can cause many emotional and physical problems, including death.
Many nursing homes are staffed with overworked and/or untrained people who can abuse or neglect your loved ones. Since nursing home abuse and neglect has risen, North Carolina has established a bill of rights to protect nursing home residents and to ensure nursing home regulations are maintained correctly.
How do I know if my loved one has been abused or neglected?
Nursing home negligence occurs in a variety of ways. While it is unfortunate that nursing home abuse and neglect ever happens, it is important that you watch for signs and be aware of the treatment being provided.
Nursing home abuse and neglect includes both physical and mental harm to the resident. It is also possible for the caregiver to withhold or fail to provide the resident with the necessary medical, nutritional, or social services. The abuse or neglect can be recurrent or a single, egregious act or omission that produces serious injury to the resident. Some of the more frequent signs of nursing home negligence and abuse include:
Weight Loss
Sexual Assault
Unexplained Injury
Blood Poisoning (sepsis)
North Carolina law makers have enacted laws in our state concerning how nursing homes must treat their residents. The attorneys of Amos & Kapral, LLP, take great pride in representing any individual whose rights have been violated as a result of the actions of any nursing home, its agents, employees and/or servants.
Nursing Homes in North Carolina must provide the following rights to their residents:
If you need help, trust the Law Offices of Amos & Kapral.
Nursing home negligence is a very serious problem that should be stopped as soon as possible. If you notice any of these or other signs, let an experienced nursing home negligence lawyer at Amos & Kapral help. Your loved one's health and life may be at stake.
We have offices in Hickory, NC and Boone, NC and represent clients throughout North Carolina.

Kiwiblog is reporting an expectation that the final secret tape recording from the National Conference will be aired in the media in the next day or two. Farrar suggests that this might feature John Key. Given the mood out there we have a feeling that this might backfire for the left. People want optimism and change. They are sick of sleaze and negativism. They were revolted by Mike Williams' latest antics. Might another piece of sleaze and gutter journalism be the cause of a landslide on Saturday?? We think it might.
Has anyone studied TV3's ratings lately?

An interesting program is running at the Burruss Correctional Training Center in Forsyth. Inmates are raising puppies to become guide dogs.
They work with the dogs during the week and then volunteers take the dogs on the weekends to full exposure to a large range of stimuli to avoid any surprises when they move on to the next stage of training outside the correctional facility.
The inmates who are chosen to participate must meet a set of criteria and be willing to work with their canine match for up to 15 hours a day for five days each week.
Read more about this program in this article.

#Contralesa, EFF set to tackle land expropriation during summit
Johannesburg - The traditional leadership group, Congress of Traditional Leaders of South Africa (Contralesa) says it will hold a land summit with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) to discuss the controversial issue of land.
The two organisations recently held a meeting where they ironed out their differences on how to approach the issue of the expropriation of land and the role traditional leaders.
Contralesa's Zolani Mkiva said the organisation agrees with the EFF that Section 25 of the Constitution should be changed to make way for expropriation of land without compensation.
The organisations also agreed that the land should be held under the custodianship of the state.
"We are all confident that this issue will be resolved through robust debate. Contralesa and the EFF have agreed that the Rural Development is the best way to develop the economy. Tax policies must be in place to incentivise rural development," said Mkiva.
"One of the key areas of the work stream will involve clarifying between land distribution, agrarian reform and land tenure. These issues constantly arise and they must be adequately ironed out."
Mkiva spoke in support of the Ingonama trust saying the land currently under that trust, which was put in place in early nineties, should not be seen as land that was stolen.
He said the focus should be on land that was stolen under Apartheid and colonisation.
On Wednesdy, at a land imbizo in KwaZulu-Natal, Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini criticised the negative discussions about the Ingonama trust and the possible threats that it may be dissolved.
The King threatened that there would be "war" if the land under the trust was touched by the government.
There were even calls for KwaZulu-Natal to be declared an independent state.
EFF leader Julius Malema defended Zwelithini's statements and said he had the right to speak his mind and share his opinion on the land debate.
The issue of land has become a tense topic in the country since Parliament voted in favour of amending Section 25 of the constitution to allow for expropriation of land without compensation.
Members of Parliament are currently travelling the country holding public hearings of the feasibility of amending the constitution.
The ANC recently held its own land summit where it decided to go ahead with expropriating land without compensation.

I'm looking to replace my old 5 by 10 utility trailer for one to handle 2 ton. Two options is tilt deck or utility trailer. Wondering if pallets will slide off a tilt deck trailer? Will pallet jack get stuck from either trailer because of ramp angle? Anyone used similar methods

Brush Party Success
LinkAble held their first brush party and the finished paintings were amazing!
13 May 2019
On Thursday 9th May we held our first Brush Party here at LinkAble.
Everyone arrived keen to get started on their masterpieces and led by Gemma from Brush Party, canvases were ready and painting began.
The evening was fun, relaxed and it was very interesting to watch the individual interpretation of the instructions given, meaning everyone's picture was unique and completely their own.
A huge thank you to the volunteers who helped to run the event as well as to everyone who came along and help to raise money for LinkAble.

Are students and parents customers?
Whether you are an independent K-12 school, college, or university, your students and families have a choice and are acting like consumers when selecting and evaluating your institution. They are customers of your institution, and thus compare the experience your institution provides to what they experience across the rest of their lives.
This is a difficult reality for many administrators and educators to grasp as they look at their school and classrooms, and attempt to balance the needs to provide both critical feedback and the service expected by students and families. The shift to providing a focus on the customer has only increased as the cost of education, and the options available to consumers, have increased over the past decade. Consumers have seen traditionally patriarchal industries such as healthcare adopt a consumer-centric focus, and now expect the same from education.
Are you asking the right questions on your surveys?
Net Promoter® Score, commonly referred to as NPS®, is a customer loyalty metric that gauges how willing a family is to recommend your school. It is used across industries to measure how well organizations are building advocates within their base of customers. Net Promoter Score is a valuable metric for improving recruiting and retention as it provides a single customer satisfaction metric—that is visible and easy to understand.
Net Promoter Score can be described with one simple question: "How likely is it that you would recommend [School X] to a friend or colleague?"
Based on how a customer responds to the question, you classify them into one of three groups:
Along with using the Net Promoter metric, we help schools ensure they are asking the questions which align to their recruiting and retention strategies. Don't send families 60 question surveys. Focus on what matters most by using shorter surveys, capture lots of qualitative feedback versus asking pages of questions, and ensure all your surveys are optimized for mobile.
The Net Promoter Score® concept was developed by Bain & Company's founder of Loyalty Practice to measure customer loyalty.

AceShowbiz - Chris Pratt wants to make Katherine Schwarzenegger his wife sooner rather than later as they are planning to wed by next winter.
The "Guardians of the Galaxy" star went public with the news of his engagement to the self-help author, the daughter of action man Arnold Schwarzenegger and newswoman Maria Shriver, on January 13, when he shared a sweet Instagram photo of the couple kissing as Katherine showed off her diamond ring.
Chris and his bride-to-be recently returned to Los Angeles from London, where the actor was promoting his new film, "The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part", and despite his busy schedule, he reveals they have already started discussing a possible timeline for their nuptials.
Admitting they are still in the very early stages of planning, he told Us Weekly they were leaning towards "maybe fall (autumn), winter," but added, "We've got a lot to get done."
The marriage will be Chris' second, following his 2018 divorce from actress Anna Faris, the mother of his six-year-old son Jack, and it appears his little boy is just as excited about the wedding as his dad, insisting his kid is "so thrilled" about welcoming Katherine into the family.
And Jack may soon become a big brother, if Chris gets his wish.
"I'm a lucky man," he recently gushed to U.S. news show Entertainment Tonight about his engagement.
Asked what the future holds for the couple, he replied, "Oh, lots of kids!".
Chris also hopes to scale back on his work commitments so he can spend more time "enjoying life" with his loved ones at his Washington farm.
"I always want to be that guy that works to live, not lives to work," he said. "I think (I want to spend) just a lot of time at the farm and a lot of time catching a lot of fish and seeing lots of sunsets."

General Jack Keane reacts after at least 40 people are killed in a suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria, says a tough response is needed if the use of chemicals is verified.
The four star General, who is sure to be in bed with all the big military manufacturers, says that the United States military should 'take out the entire Assad airpower infrastructure', something sure to boost the stock prices of MIC corporations.
For all of the stupidity in the below Fox News segment, perhaps the dumbest comment came from the Fox News host when she posited the motive of Assad's alleged (and completely unverified) chemical attack…
"Could this [chemical weapons attack] be a play by them [Assad, Putin and Iran] to provoke or test President Trump?"
Assad is using chemical weapons, in a war he is clearly winning, in order to test Trump's resolve…makes a lot of strategic and geopolitical sense.
Keane then makes the call for an Arab NATO…another brilliant idea from a military industrial complex shill.

good bye summer, hello rock candy
i'm going to miss summer, this one was a good one. the girls learned to swim (mostly), we had some great days hanging out and enjoying everything we could find to do. the colors this year were just so vibrant and fun.
one more colorful project i tried this summer that met mixed results was rock candy. i won't bother with a recipe because i didn't find a real winner, but feel free to share one that works with me!
there's sugar and water and mixing and boiling and mixing and waiting and all that… then food coloring and a little flavoring. and 2 more lbs of sugar than you think you'll need. look, pretty!
(and mason jars, too! woo hoo!)
skewers and clothespins are involved. how hard can it be?
there's whoooole lot of waiting and hoping. the first batch… nuthin. sticks in colored water for a week. so i tried again and got something. i don't know what i was expecting, other than MORE. but here we go:
they're not so bad, i guess…
next time i might try string instead of sticks… and see what i can get!Explore posts in the same categories: foooooood, i saw it on pinterest, she's so crafty

wow!!!!!!! you should try that when i am around-so i can sample it!


text: Grandkids. Here are 4 of the 6. A huge age difference, but it is kind of fun for both sets of them. The little ones adore the big ones and love having all the attention, which is exactly what they get from Emily and Joshua. Josiah is totally at the imitating age and copies everything Joshua does. What was not fun was trying to get all four of them to look at the camera at the same time. Emily and Joshua have pretty much got it down, except for every now and then they had to look at Arianna or Josiah to help get them to look up which really only made them look up at them instead of at me. Oh well, I will be happy that I got this one.

The Milky Way provides a template to study galaxy formation and evolution across cosmological times, essentially giving astronomers a fossil record of the history of star formation and accretion. The structure of the Milky Way's inner region, known as the Galactic Bulge, is an unsettled topic in astronomy, but variable stars called RR Lyrae reveal structures within the galaxy.
A pilot survey of RR Lyrae stars done by Saint Martin's University yielded evidence of a small structure in the Galaxy's center. The university recently approached the Murdock Trust with a proposal to further study this intriguing structure in order to obtain a complete picture of the formation of the oldest innermost regions of the Milky Way and a window into the initial conditions of galaxy formation.
In May, a group of Saint Martin's University students, supported by a grant through the Murdock Trust Natural Sciences program, had the opportunity to travel to Kitt Peak National Observatory, located in the Quinlan Mountains of the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. The students stayed up all night to use the 2/4m Hiltner Telescope located at the observatory to gather photos of stars in the Galactic Bulge. They are now back at the university and working hard on analyzing their observations.
Not only was this a valuable research opportunity for furthering the study of our galaxy's formation, but it provided one-of-a-kind experiences for students. For one of the students in the group, it was their first time flying and first time traveling beyond Oregon and Washington. This grant provided the resources for students to expand their horizons, not only scientifically, but also educationally and personally.
The Murdock College Research Program for Natural Sciences is designed to support research in the natural sciences at private, predominantly undergraduate colleges and universities in the Trust's funding region. To learn more about the program, visit our website.

The GTA Phoenix electric car has been marked down to only £89.97 including free delivery at Tesco which is a neat saving of £50 off this enormous toy. This is the uber Christmas present for any little girl and would definitely make their day.
Originally retailing for £139.97, the car is a single seater 6v machine that has both forward and reverse gears. It also has a foot accelerator and a brake and both the battery and charger are included in the package.
The car is ideal for kids aged two and up, looks pretty zooty, and is ace for helping kids develop their coordination skills. Actually, this is one heck of a present for developing coordination skills if you ask me! If I had enough room in my house I'd actually consider getting this.
I would have loved one of these when I was a kid. Wow. So if you happen to have a big budget and are looking for something to really knock the socks off your kids this Christmas, then this electric car will do the trick.
Thanks to christopherguy25 at HUKD!
