Honolulu, Hawaii
My morning began with a walk on what everyone calls Magic Island. With a group of young followers of bhakti, we executed our individual mantras on our japa beads. "How did you like the walk?" I asked the crew, who all seem to represent a different part of the world.
"Great! Awesome! Fantastic!" and more.
Who would ever consider a simple beach trek to be all those things?
At ISKCON Honolulu, I met Reverend Tim of the Unity Church. Very devotional. He quoted 18.54 from the Gita about devotion being undivided and how this type of devotion brings one to see Him standing before you.
After another smaller trek, halfway up the mountain valley outside of the city, another small group and I went to see the property of Mayapur Lila from Canada. Quaint and breezy it is. We also included a look at Butter the cow, Cinderella the sow and Radha, from the breed of gir cows—Indian origin—at a farm nearby.
I was getting some well-needed sun.
Reverend Tim came to meet us, once again, at Gurudas' home, the location of a house-packed sanga. I spoke of how I joined the ranks of monks. I opened with verse one of the Isopanishad, on accepting what we're given. In this regard, one devotee offered to say a quote from Gandhi, "The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed."
May the Source be with you!

This year's World Press Photo of the Year Award went to Warren Richardson's image of a refugee passing a baby through the fence at the Serbia and Hungary border.
Entitled 'Hope for a New Life', this image was taken in early hours in summer 2015. The man and child captured in the picture were part of the movement of people trying to cross into Hungary before a secure fence on the border was completed.
This disturbing photograph is part of Richardson's series Refugee Crisis Hungary, which includes many images that are grainy and blurry - some would say technically imperfect - but it only makes them more real and convincing.
"I must have been with this crew for about five hours, and we played cat and mouse with the police the whole night. I was exhausted by the time I took the picture. It was around three o'clock in the morning and you can't use a flash while the police are trying to find these people, because I would just give them away. So I had to use the moonlight alone."

Recently, Project Veritas went undercover to meet with Clay Haynes, the Network Security Engineer at Twitter. During the meeting, Haynes reveals that Twitter may be helping the DOJ with their investigation against President Trump.
Clay, who refers to himself as a bleeding-heart liberal, says:
"We're more than happy to help the Department of Justice in their little investigation."
The undercover journalist asks Clay how he would help. He replied:
"Basically, giving them every single tweet that he's posted. Even the ones he's deleted. Any direct messages, any mentions…"
During another meeting, Clay states:
"We could absolutely look at every single message, every single tweet, whatever you log into, what profile pictures you upload, what profile pictures that you thought you were going to do."
Sounds to me as if Twitter is spying on President Trump.

Here is a link to a article by California Assoc, Realtors on Nationstar's newest way to get bidding going even though you may have accepted offer, http://www.car.org/newsstand/news/nationstar/
We need new listing agents for direct
short sale listing assignments. Click Here
So far they filed a notice of default on my client even after Calif. law says they can't once a short sale is started. They don't even acknowledge knowing about a law that is over a year old.
Views: 977
Nationstar is horrible with communicating and following through. They just foreclosed on a property we have been working on and it could have been avoided. I am so over them. And their auction.com is a joke. Never again.
Brian McFedries - Great comment and information and letter. I think many agent misunderstandings regarding the NationStar process could be clarified if they only went to the lender site and read the details instead of complaining. Afterall, we are supposed to get the best price for the lender in a short sale -- and short sales are not really a deal price-wise anymore. Even if their process sucks, those are the instructions to follow to get it done for your client -- yes, some SS are much more work and frustration -- just do it or don't do short sales.
The homeowner's bill of rights in Ca deals more with loan modification than short sales. If you are in an active loan mod review then the foreclosure process stops. In a short sale the servicer can still file the NOD.
When I run into a Nationstar file I send this letter to all parties to explain the process. Hopefully this helps
To: All Parties involved in this short Sale Transaction
Fr: First Choice Solutions
Re: Nationstar & Auction.com Market Validation Program
NationStar's Market Validation Program is incorporated into the short sale platform which requires most of its properties to be listed on auction.com before a short sale is finalized. Not all loans are moved into the Auction.com platform. Ex; to date I believe Fannie and possibly FHA files are excluded. I believe there is a pilot program in place for Freddie Mac files. C.A.R. has been in contact with the California Bureau of Real Estate (BRE) about NationStar's platform, and the BRE has informed C.A.R. that the program does not violate any laws. Nationstar will continue to use auction.com as a value verification system on many of its short sales. Real estate agents who list short sale properties from NationStar will list the properties on the MLS just as they would with any other short sale. Through this program, once the listing receives an accepted offer, NationStar informs the agent that the property will be posted on auction.com for three weeks, as a means to verify that the loan's investor has received potentially the best price. During the auction, the original offer will remain valid as long as the buyer,along with the buyer's agent have registered with NationStar and auction.com. The listing agent for the property may be able to assist with the registration process. Auction.com tends to list the starting bid lower than the amount offered by the original buyer to encourage bidders. Agents working with clients on these transactions should inform their clients of this practice. Once the property is listed on auction.com, other bids also will be considered. If a bid comes in higher than the original offer, the original buyer will lose the property unless he or she places a higher bid on auction.com. Although auction.com charges a 5 percent buyer fee to the highest bidder, the original buyer is exempt from this fee, if the buyer is registered as the initially accepted offer from the seller. * Even if the original buyer has the highest offer, it does not mean that after the Auction process Nationstar will not counter the offer and ask for a higher offer. A downside to Auction.com is the ability to accept bids from FHA and VA buyers. Those programs do not allow for the 5% premium to be added. If the original offer is FHA or VA would be ok because they are not subject to the 5%.
Foreclose process will be suspended while the property is in the "market validation program." However, the foreclosure date will be suspended until the property is sold in an approved sale or otherwise removed from the program. * Agent still needs to fight for postponements in my experience.
NationStar has not changed anything stated in the MLS with regards to agent commissions, unless it does not meet the requirements of the loan investor. However, in some case the agent can earn an additional 1/2%.
How we are handling second or third liens, Judgments, HOA past dues etc? Typically when we handle any short sale, where we believe not all liens will be covered; we ask the buyer to contribute above the offer price. We will try to always structure the purchase agreement in away to satisfy all liens. With NationStar/Auction.com this will be handled in a similar fashion. Based on the amount of the liens to be covered, we can usually expect a
50%-60% demand letter.
Many of the agents I work with have asked me about the possibility of trying to "OPT OUT" of the Market Validation program? My response has typically been that it is not worth the headache and really does not benefit the seller. Also agents have asked how is the program legal in Ca since there is already a signed contract in place. I am not a lawyer, but I believe the CA Short Sale Advisory covers this issue under
(Buyer Considerations) "Generally, Sellers also have the right to continue to give offers to their
lender(s) even if they have a contract with an existing buyer."
In conclusion this letter's main intent is to inform all parties of how the short sale process will take effect. It is not designed to agree or disagree with the short sale platform NationStar chooses to undertake.
I have one with Nationstar right now. Under contract around $170,000 and they put it on Auction.com starting bid at $40,000. What a waste of time!! Buyers from all over the country called about it the home and once they found out it was pending near my list price, they were not happy. And now that the auction period is over, they put us in the back of the line again for negotiation. What a colossal waste of everyone's time. They call it a Valuation Test. Why don't they just say they don't the think the agents are doing a good job at getting the best offer? Ridiculous.......

Secular Government Criticized for Meeting Secular Group
Conservative religious groups criticized the Obama Administration for meeting with the Secular Coalition for America.
Some conservative commentators are accusing the Obama administration of inviting "hate groups" into the White House by holding a meeting with a coalition of secularist and atheist groups.
(my emphasis)
I certainly welcome the the administration's decision. I'm not sure I support giving nonbelievers special protections.
Johnson [the American Atheists vice president] called on the Obama administration to make non-theists "a protected class throughout the Armed Services on par with the protections afforded to women, minorities, and those belonging to minority faith groups."
I don't support offering any groups special protections – it reenforces divisions in society, violates the spirit of "equal protection," and punishes people for thought-crime. If you commit a crime against any person that should be reason enough to prosecute the offender.
South Park's Politics
Matt and Trey aren't on your side.
"It was just lame, that's exactly what we're talking about–people trying to claim the show," said Matt, who in 2005 announced "I hate conservatives, but I really fucking hate liberals." When I asked him about the quote, Trey responded, "It's all based on saying the shocking thing. We used to have a great time going to Hollywood parties and saying 'I think George Bush is doing a great job.' We'd clear out the room. I used to love it."
Both men were adamant that the show has no political affiliation. "I would never want the show to be a Democrat show or Republican show, because for us the show's more important than that. It isn't for everybody else in the world, but it is for us. We don't want you to come to it thinking, 'These guys are going to bash liberals,'" Matt explained.
Neither Stone nor Parker will delineate his political views, and both contend that the libertarian label, which has been applied to them in recent years, is not entirely appropriate.
Singing about Science
Pretty cheesy, but still fun.
Paul Ryan on Budget Gimmickry
He makes a lot of fair points. It'd be more helpful if he called out Republican fiscal recklessness as well (or atone for his own support for Medicare Advantage)
What Are Schools For?
I often find it helpful to look at fundamental questions – it forces us to keep our bearings when thinking about public policy. So, for one of my favorite topics – educational policy – I'd like to ask the question:
What are schools for?
Partly, this question was prompted from me watching Sir Ken Robinson's TED talk about how schools kill creativity. It is the most favorited video currently at TED and I certainly enjoyed it.
Although, I'm not sure I entirely agreed with its premises. But he does make some great points along the way. Robinson argues that since we don't even know what the world will look like in 5 years, it is futile to try to educate children for specific industries that may not be there when they finish schooling. From that he argues that it is necessary to promote creativity in schools (fully agree). Also, he's certainly right that instilling the idea that making a mistake is the worst possible thing isn't conducive to creativity.
Despite what Robinson claims, do our schools crush creativity? At least compared to Japan's schools, America seems to be in much better shape. I don't think that creativity is necessary going to be best promoted by focusing more on art and dance in schools (for the record: I loved my theatre and music classes) – at least it might not be the proper role of a school. We have to recognize that schools can't teach everything.
But no matter how valuable a subject may be, there are only twenty-four hours in a day, and a decision to teach one subject is also a decision not to teach another one. The question is not whether trigonometry is important, but whether it is more important than statistics; not whether an educated person should know the classics, but whether it is more important for an educated person to know the classics than to know elementary economics. In a world whose complexities are constantly challenging our intuitions, these tradeoffs cannot responsibly be avoided.
I've referenced this before but Steven Pinker also makes that enlightening argument that schools should promote subjects that are unintuitive to humans.
The goal of education should be to provide students with the cognitive tools that are most important for grasping the modern world and that are most unlike the cognitive tools they are born with.
Those subjects might be more necessary for schools to step in and teach since students aren't likely to learn them without special instruction, but need them to better navigate our modern world. Subjects like economics, finance, and statistics aren't likely to become obsolete either as Robinson worries about other areas of study. In order to determine what schools are for do we need to just list the subjects of highest priority? Highest priority for what? It seems that is straying a bit away from my original question. Bertrand Russell can help get back to the core issue, he writes in his essay, "The Aims of Education:"
Before considering how to educate, it is well to be clear as to the sort of result which we wish to achieve. Dr Arnold wanted 'humbleness of mind', a quality not possessed by Aristotle's 'magnanimous man'. Neitzche's ideal is not that of Christianity. No more is Kant's: for while Christ enjoins love, Kant teaches that no action of which love is the motive can be truly virtuous. And even people who agree as to the ingredients of a good character may differ as to their relative importance. One man will emphasize courage, another learning, another kindliness, and another rectitude. One man, like the elder Brutus, will put duty to the State above family affection; another, like Confucious, will put family affection first. All these divergences will produce differences as to education. We must have some concept of the kind of person we wish to produce, before we can have any definite opinion as to the education which we consider best.
So school's purpose is derived from what we want our students to become as people. Further in the essay, Russell argues that students should be looked at as ends, not means. It seems important to educate not for the sake of creating citizens that can serve the state, for example, but to give them the tools necessary to live their lives how they as individuals see fit. After all, as I learn from wikipedia
Etymologically the word education contains educarae (latin) "bring up" which is related to educere "bring out", "bring forth what is within", "bring out potential" and ducere "to lead".
Yet, clearly if we think of education as a public good, we want some sort of specific "means" goals from students, don't we? Providing them with a proper finance and economic background clearly helps them as individuals, but the additional externalities on society aren't insignificant. The question isn't easily answered. I'll be sure to follow up on this topic in the future. Feel free to offer your answer to the question: What are schools for?
Yglesias on Polarization
Yglesias, dissenting from my view, points to research that suggests that gerrymandering's effect on political polarization is weak. Here is one specific paper he references. The abstract:
Both pundits and scholars have blamed increasing levels of partisan conflict and polarization in Congress on the effects of partisan gerrymandering. We assess whether there is a strong causal relationship between congressional districting and polarization. We find very little evidence for such a link. First, we show that congressional polarization is primarily a function of the differences in how Democrats and Republicans represent the same districts rather than a function of which districts each party represents or the distribution of constituency preferences. Second, we conduct simulations to gauge the level of polarization under various "neutral" districting procedures. We find that the actual levels of polarization are not much higher than those produced by the simulations. We do find that gerrymandering has increased the Republican seat share in the House; this increase is not an important source of polarization.
[update]: I found a better link to that paper.
So I might have been wrong about redistricting's effect on political polarization but I appear to be vindicated about my concern over its effect on electoral competition.
And redistricting does appear to have a negative impact on electoral competition. There are many reasons to do something about gerrymandering. But reducing polarization is not one of them.
Of course, I want to look more into this. Another paper which I haven't been able to access yet seems to suggest that redistricting has modest effect on polarization.
Our results show that although there is an overall trend of increasing polarization, districts that have undergone significant changes as a result of redistricting have become even more polarized. Although the effect is relatively modest, it suggests that redistricting is one among other factors that produce party polarization in the House and may help to explain the elevated levels of polarization in the House relative to the Senate.
Either way it seems redistricting – no matter how unseemly – isn't the main culprit behind our polarized politics.
Taxing the Wrong Thing
The Pigovian insight on taxes is that placing a tax on an activity with negative externalities will reduce that activity and, importantly, the negative externality with it. More generally it becomes obvious taxes affect incentives – want less of an activity, tax it. I know the economists in the Obama administration realize this. So, I'm disappointed that the President's healthcare plan shifts more of the tax burden to the wealthy's unearned income instead of taxing "Cadillac health plans." As Greg Mankiw points out,
The tax on so-called Cadillac health plans made sense as a way to reduce the existing tax incentive toward excessively generous health insurance, which in turn encourages excessive use of healthcare. That reform is, apparently, now gone. Instead, the current administration proposal is to increase the tax on capital income, reducing the incentive for saving and investment.
In other words, the new proposal would do less to bend the curve of rising healthcare costs and more to impede long-run economic growth.
I'm glad the Obama administration recognizes that if we want something (e.g. more coverage) it needs to be paid for. They just need to realize that the way we pay for something is just as important as the something we get. I still support the overall direction of the healthcare proposal but my disappointments are piling up.
Paul Ryan Outlines His Plan
Rep. Ryan argues in Newsweek for his "Roadmap."
Both Republicans and Democrats share the blame for failing to be candid about the difficult choices we face and for continuing to make promises that cannot be kept.
Critics say that any attempt to cut entitlements is tantamount to political suicide. Nonsense. Most Americans see such reforms as common sense. It makes sense to gradually increase the eligibility ages for Social Security and Medicare—Americans are living decades longer than when these programs were first enacted. It also makes sense to tie benefits to income so that those with fewer resources receive more support.
Making America Drug-Free, 6 Dead Dogs at a Time
Police killed 6 pit bulls during a bust of a marijuana grow house.
When the dogs began attacking officers and one another, police shot six of them to death and trapped the other 15.
Alejandro Campos-Rivera, 37, who lived at the home, was charged with unlawful production of cannabis plants and animal cruelty. His bail was set at $750,000 Saturday morning.
(h/t: Dan Savage)
The dogs were likely being trained for dog fighting. I'm all for stopping dog fighting, but murdering them is a funny way to help. This story reminds me of this CATO article by Radley Balko I read way back.
One of the most appalling cases occurred in Maricopa County, Arizona, the home of Joe Arpaio, self-proclaimed "toughest sheriff in America." In 2004 one of Arpaio's SWAT teams conducted a bumbling raid in a Phoenix suburb. Among other weapons, it used tear gas and an armored personnel carrier that later rolled down the street and smashed into a car. The operation ended with the targeted home in flames and exactly one suspect in custody—for outstanding traffic violations.
But for all that, the image that sticks in your head, as described by John Dougherty in the alternative weekly Phoenix New Times, is that of a puppy trying to escape the fire and a SWAT officer chasing him back into the burning building with puffs from a fire extinguisher. The dog burned to death.
I'd Rather Cut Government
Public health officials are again trying to push new food guidelines on businesses and Americans. John Tierney looks at some of the potential problems with their new plan to reduce America's salt intake.
That's the beauty of the salt debate: there's so little reliable evidence that you can imagine just about any outcome. For all the talk about the growing menace of sodium in packaged foods, experts aren't even sure that Americans today are eating more salt than they used to.

Are Abstinent Men a Turn-Off?
Apparently, former professional footballer Tim Tebow and his girlfriend former Miss USA Olivia Culpo have broken up, and the cause is said to be the fact that Tebow is abstinent while Culpo.... Uhhhh.... Wants a little bit. So, the question now is: Are abstinent men really a turn-off?
For those of us who claim to be Christian, it's abundantly clear that we are supposed to abstain from sex until marriage. Do we all follow that rule? Of course not. However, I find it interesting that we are commended for upholding our convictions when it comes to some "sins" but not others.
Ask someone to go to the casino. "Nooooo! I do not gamble."
"Oh. Okay. That's cool. Actually, I probably need to stop, too. Well, how about meeting me for drinks when you get off Friday?"
"Nah, I don't drink."
"You DON'T? Oh, that's GOOD! I've been looking for someone like you. Look, I won a free room at a beach resort. Wanna go on vacation with me?"
"Is it one room or two?"
"Well, it's one room, but it has two beds."
(We all know that two beds in one room means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but having sex in one and sleeping in the other!)
"Probably not a good idea. I'm abstinent."
record scratch
"You're what?"
"I'm abstinent."
"So, you mean to tell me you're not having sex?"
"Not at all? Not even...."
"Not at all."
"Oh, okay. Well, I don't want to disrespect you. So, I'll leave you alone."
When it's a man doing the pressing, we usually see him as a hound. And when he decides to leave the woman alone, he's a jerk. But if it's the woman doing the pressing and the man is turning her down, he's seen as an idiot... Or gay!
Actually, gay is probably the first thought. Never mind a spiritual conviction that causes him to want to do what he sees as right. He can't even "value himself" the way women do. Oh, he's not worth waiting for or getting to know before becoming intimately involved. Uh-Uh! Turn YOU down, and he's gay OR he's playing games. He has a woman/wife but doesn't want you to know. He just CAN'T be abstinent!
It's funny how we can quote Lyfe Jennings "Don't be a nickel looking for a dime" when it comes to ourselves and our standards. We have no problem turning down the opportunity to be a jumpoff. We'll go through bad relationship after bad relationship, decide not to be sexually active in the next one, and will express that to potential suitors with no problem. Men usually have no problem accepting that fact because it's often a game to them to see how they can convince you to give in. If that same woman who said she was abstinent enters a relationship with a man who is abstinent, the moment she decides she doesn't want to be abstinent anymore, he would be ridiculed if he chooses not to give in. Why is that?
Why do women claim to want a men who want more than just our bodies but laugh at the first one to come along? "Girl, he is so lame!" It's no question why so many of us are single. If we don't even know what we want, how can we expect anyone else to give it to us? Or is it a character flaw of our own? Do we really want to be respected while irresistible? Is a man that turns us down ultimately a turn-off? If so, why?
I commend Tebow for standing fast in the convictions of his faith, even amid criticism and public scrutiny . At some point, he will find the one who appreciates him for who he is, and hopefully, he'll avoid the relationship hurdles that come along with settling. Furthermore, a man that thinks enough of himself to not even share himself with a woman he loves is one who probably won't want to share himself with other women once he finally takes that step with the one he loves. Something to think about.

Apple just released their fourth beta of iOS 12.4 and now we have a speed test video of iOS 12.3.1 vs iOS 12.4 beta 4.
In the video below the two versions of iOS are run side by side on the iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPhone 6S, iPhone 7 and iPhone 8, lets see if there are any speed improvements.
If you want to skip to a specific device the iPhone 5S starts at 00.25, the iPhone 6 09.20, iPhone 6S 17.23, iPhone 7 24.06, iPhone 8 30.42.
As we can see from the video there do not appear to be any major speed improvements in the boot up times of the various devices and also no major improvements within the apps.

Construction of Liberia's restroom (left) is complete on the Portner Avenue side of the house. It will be open for events and seasonally during daylight hours. Lighting, a walking path, and gravel drive have also been installed. A back porch was also recently constructed.
Thanks to our donors for helping to complete Liberia's Phase I Interior Restoration
William and Susan Beck, Due Dollins, Charlie Miller, the G.F.W.C. Woman's Club of Manassas, and an anonymous donor all dedicated their efforts to providing Liberia's first floor furnishings.
Site Work Transforms Landscape
Site work dramatically transformed Liberia's landscape. Olde Towne Landscaping recently removed the 1950s-era garage, (below left) and cleared trees in preparation for the construction of rest rooms.
Anonymous Donation Helps Furnish Liberia
A couple from Raleigh, N.C. donated 11 pieces of beautifully crafted furniture and accessories dating from between 1835 and 1850 that have been placed throughout the house. The gift was made possible through the efforts of N.C. antiques dealer Charlie Miller, who both brokered the donation and delivered the pieces to Manassas. Miller arranged the donation with the help of Bill Beck, the Fredericksburg antiques dealer who has been donating his services to find furnishings at auction.
These donations—and many smaller donations from individuals and service organizations—help us tell the story of a family displaced by occupying armies, the enslaved left behind, and the soldiers who passed through Liberia during the war years. Seeing plates on the dining room table, maps on the desk, portraits on the walls, and lamps on the tables make Liberia seem more like the home it was.

Burrito or Bowl?

Which Mexican food chain builds the best burrito? The best bowl?
Tacos are out of the question. Those are for children, and my Dad. The man loves a good taco. Whenever we go to Chipotle, my mom and I order bowls and then my dad shows up at the register with a variety taco basket.
It all started with Moe's Southwest Grill. I would get burritos at Moe's every Monday with my friends as part of Moe Mondays. Plus you get free, unlimited chips! Who doesn't like free chips?
I am grateful for all of those nights at Moe's, but I have moved on. There are other Mexican style chains that have higher quality ingredients, but no free chips. That is ok, I will bring my own chips in my purse.
Back to burritos. The first time I had Chipotle, I hated it. I hated the cilantro in the rice and I thought the chips were weird. Then I gave Chipotle another try. I was in love with it, but not with the burrito, with the bowl. You get so much more with the bowl and it costs about the same. Actually, you could ask for a tortilla on the side and made two good-sized burritos out of the bowl. I get both rice, both beans, veggies, chicken, corn salsa, cheese, and lettuce.

While some people prefer the fast-paced city life, I'm one who prefers the quiet nature of suburbia. A step outside of my house means solitude.
I get to hear the chirping of birds rather than the disturbing sounds of traffic. I am fortunate that I live close enough to New York City to visit when I please, yet able to come back home and enjoy the blissfully quiet life I was meant to live.
People argue that suburbia is boring and lonely, but I would have to disagree. The quietness gives me time to focus on myself and collect my thoughts.
The reserved suburbs offer the perfect opportunities for reading and writing in pure silence, giving me the inspiration I need to grow as a writer.
The abundance of nature gives off relaxing, peaceful vibes. There is so much beauty in the simple things, and you have to be really lucky to see it.
The scenery outside my door has a way of boosting a certain type of creativity that can't be found anywhere else. I love waking up in the morning to the deer eating the grass and prancing along on my lawn. Living on a treelined street and seeing nothing but green can be mesmerizing.
In the fall, I have the luxury of going apple and pumpkin picking close to home. Living ten minutes away from the local farm has its perks; I get to enjoy the freshly picked fruits and vegetables, the freshly baked goods hot out of the oven, and the delicious homemade jams any time my heart desires.
In the winter, when the freshly fallen snow lays on the grass and the trees, it's like I'm looking at a painting. The tranquility and beauty that stems from the sparkling snow cannot be compared to the slushy streets of the city.
The Lost Art of Thank You Cards

I've got a whole lot to be thankful for. I've never known anything but the feeling of being showered with love and support from the people I am lucky to call my family and friends. I've never been without a hot meal or a roof over my head, and for that I am eternally grateful.
So, how does one quantify or put into words how thankful they are?
I hear you groaning, thinking to yourself "She better not say what I think she's about to say." Oh you bet I'm going to say it: a thank you card.
I know, I know, I too groan at my own exclamation, as thank you cards are the bane of my existence. Nevertheless, I believe that the simple, yet tedious, task has the ability to brighten someone's day. It really is that easy.
Growing up, my mother was adamant about writing thank you cards. As much as I loved celebrating birthdays and holidays, nothing soured the mood like thinking of all the cards I would have to write. Oh, and let's not forget about all the hand cramps I would suffer through just to thank Aunt Gladys for the socks she knitted me.
Not only was my dear mother adamant about the cards, but she also insisted that we handwrite them, none of those fill in the blank cards I received after almost every birthday party. Nope, true pen to paper cards detailing how thankful I was, how much I couldn't wait to play with my new toy or show off my new socks, and then a dramatic farewell about how I couldn't wait to see them again so that I could thank them in person. And if there was white space, like at the top or side of the card, you bet I drew a picture further depicting my love and gratitude. Let me tell you, these cards were a true work of art, yet I just always saw them as a pain in my butt.
Not once did I ever think that anyone actually appreciated my cards. I always assumed that whoever received one likely tossed it in the trash after reading it. This however, was not the case.
Halloween: Dorm Decorations

Much to my hometown friend's shock (I'm from Long Branch), I choose to live on campus here at Monmouth. Though I wouldn't change anything about the life I've built in the dorms, the plain white walls can be a bit daunting at first.
It's for this exact reason that I take every opportunity to decorate my dorm room, holidays and all.
My basic decorations that I have up year round consist of fairy lights, hand painted canvas signs from over the years, my lucky bamboo plant (appropriately named Rocky Bamboo-a), and a neon sign which includes interchangeable letters that can be used to form any phrase of your choosing.
I also have a dry erase calendar that I have displayed on my desk. While I love how cozy I've managed to make my once empty dorm room, the interior design addict in me always finds any excuse to switch out decorations in accordance to holidays. Lucky for me, October presents the prefect opportunity.
I could easily decide to decorate for Halloween with hanging bats and fake blood. However, truth be told, I'm a complete chicken and not the biggest Halloween fanatic. So I end up just decorating for the overall season of Fall. It's cute, easy and ultimately saves me money when I can easily reuse the same theme for the Halloween and Thanksgiving months. Realistically, as much as I adore the opportunity to decorate, my wallet won't allow it.
As a fan of do it yourself (DIY) projects, I typically make a lot of my decorations. Pinterest is my best friend, though I'm sure anyone who walks into my dorm on a daily basis could guess that based off of the gallery wall of canvases that I've made myself and the meticulously crafted glitter key holder I have by my door.
Consequences of Counting Calories

Do you stare at the food labels thinking about how many calories you have consumed already today? In today's society, we have become so obsessed with this idea of "the perfect body."
We tend to constantly compare ourselves to people we see on social media or in advertisements. The tall, thin, perfect body is constantly being shoved down our throats because we tend to only be shown one type of body.
This problem does not only affect one gender, as there are social standards that are created between both males and females. Counting calories is unhealthy because it creates a person to become obsessed over the numbers they are putting into their bodies rather than just focusing on the nutritional value of food.
The intent of calorie counting can be simply because someone wants to lose weight. However, when counting every calorie you enter into your body, it is easy to become obsessed with the action. This can do way more harm than good because the amount of calories that are in foods do not solely signify the nutrition value of that specific food.
For example, there are foods with healthy fats and higher calorie intake than other foods that may be processed but have less calories.
Eating healthy and living a balanced lifestyle is important. Wanting to live a healthier lifestyle is a good goal to strive for. However, healthy eating should come from the correct food you put into your body. Food acts as fuel to keep your body running and it is important to be conscious of the foods you are putting into it. Counting calories can become an exhausting process, always being hyper aware of the calorie content of food.

When we think about the definition of "strength," our minds automatically resort to superheroes.
Everyone who is strong has muscles and everyone who is strong is indestructible. Rarely do we give enough credit to those who contain elements of the word strength that don't have to do with physical boundaries.
Growing up my family thought my father was superman, as most of us do. My definition and understanding of the word strength was shallow. I figured that strength only consisted of tangible qualities, until I grew up and became informed by experience.
Physical strength is the most obvious element of the word. Being physically strong is important. We all know that we need to stay fit and healthy so that we can carry on with our daily tasks. Having an active lifestyle and always trying to improve our bodies is crucial for a long and happy life, that's a given.
Not only is it important for us to have this kind of strength in the physical world, but it helps our bodies endure the mental battles that we face. There is a connection between the mind and body that is undeniable. When we are stressed, when we are sad, when we are feeling lost, our bodies pick up on those signals.
By staying physically strong, we can prevent ourselves from getting sick from daily mental stressors. When we exercise, our body releases endorphins that can boost our mood. It can allow us to use our stress or anger and put it towards something positive: bettering out bodies.
Diving a little deeper into the meaning of strength, I have found much more than just physical features. There is a mental component which is thought based. The evolution of mental strength is unique to each individual, which is a similarity of physical strength.

Wake up, drive to school, go to class, drive home, do homework, possibly eat something, go to sleep and repeat. As an incoming freshman, this is what I believed being a commuter student would be like. While I was most definitely not happy about the fact that I would have to commute to school every day, I had gone about starting school completely wrong.
Each day before Sept. 4 consisted of me begging my mom to let me dorm and each time, the result was always a big fat no. There was one reason for me constantly bugging her, and that was me wanting the full college experience. However, what I did not know was that once school started, I'd be getting the full blown experience just as much as every other resident was.
While yes, you do take all the steps I previously mentioned, there is also so much more that happens in a day than just driving back and forth to school and home. The clubs you decide to be a part of, the sports teams you decide to join, the extra time you have before classes that you spend with new friends are all things that make going to school so much more than going to class and going home.
There is so much going on around campus that commuter students can be a part of that will give us the true experience that residents get. If you don't make the effort to get involved and be a part of campus life, you won't get the experience you want. College is everything you make of it, it's up to you to make it the best it can be.
I get the opportunity to stay on campus with my friends overnight while also getting to go home, sleep in my own bed, and enjoy home cooked meals. These are the types of perks I never took into consideration when thinking about being a commuter student. I was so adamant on needing to dorm in order to make friends that I persuaded myself that my thought process was correct.
Better, Best, Bagels

Bagels. Those are the rolls with the holes in the middle, right? All jokes aside, I love a good bagel. Poppyseed and sesame are my go to choices.
I am from Pennsylvania, not Pennsyltucky, but Pennsylvania all the same and the only bagels that I had growing up came from Wegmans.
I loved Wegmans's bagels. We had local bakeries, but none of them made bagels. It was not until I came to Monmouth that I had "real" bagels, as my friends would like to say. I have only been to a few bagel shops in the area, so naturally all of them are my favorites.
Hot Bagels is a bagelry (we are just going to pretend that that is a word) in Ocean Township that my coach often takes us to before away matches. If we have to leave early in the morning for a tennis match, we will swing by Hot Bagels to grab a few for the road. The family members who work the bagelry are always busy rolling the dough and placing the steaming hot bagels into baskets. So fresh there is no need for them to be toasted.
Another bagelry that my coach introduced myself and my teammates to is Grandma's Bagels in Little Silver. Here, you can get bacon, egg, and cheese on your favorite flavor bagel. I am not sure if Grandma still works there, but I would bet my scholarship that the recipe has remained the same. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
This summer I stayed in Middletown. My host asked me if I had any good bagels while I had been here in Jersey. I told her my positive experiences at Hot Bagel and Grandma's Bagels and she recommended another bagelry to me. Sheepshead Bagels in Middletown. She said it was as though the bagels were straight out of Brooklyn. This meant nothing to me since I did not know that Brooklyn was known for their bagels. Nonetheless, I went to the bagelry and ordered an egg and cheese in a sesame bagel. Wow. If this was what a Brooklyn bagel tasted like then I knew where I would be moving after college.

Does being in the public eye mean that you have less privacy?
Social media is designed to enable people all over the world to make connections with other individuals. Whether or not we wish to share certain aspects of our lives, good or bad, is a decision that most users are able to make on an everyday basis. However, when you are in the public eye, some people feel that the concept of privacy should be taken away. Is this really how it should be?
I don't think so. This issue has been taking up residence in my thoughts ever since Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan announced their divorce back in early April of this year. What happens between two individuals should not be the business of anyone else, especially not the downfall of a marriage and what went wrong.
Ever since then, couples who are in the public eye such as YouTube couples David Dobrik and Liza Koshy or Lauren Riihimaki and Alexander Burriss have made videos announcing their breakups that they posted to YouTube. These just don't sit well with me.
A relationship, in my personal opinion, should remain between the two individuals involved and not involve the spectators of said relationship.

Imagine a world where technology has completely taken over. It isn't as far-fetched as you may think. Though it may be difficult to admit, especially for the younger generation, the concepts surrounding social media are quickly shaping the ways in which we think and go through our everyday lives. The impact that it has is the reason why I feel so strongly that we, as a society, spend too much time on social media.
Back in 2013, comedian and actress Charlene deGuzman wrote and starred in a YouTube video entitled "I Forgot My Phone." The video captures the disheartening reality of social media's control over our lives, or rather the control we allow it to have.
The video depicts deGuzman going through her day being surrounded by both loved ones and strangers alike who have an unhealthy infatuation with their cell phones. Whether it was during a lunch outing with friends, a concert or even lying in bed with her boyfriend at night and during the early morning, she is iced out by everyone around her. The saddest part is how undeniably real this video's depiction is.
If I'm standing in line waiting for food at the Student Center or even when I manage to get to class a few minutes early, it is almost guaranteed that there will be people hunched over their phone screens in order to avoid interaction with the people around them. Admittedly, I'm also guilty of the mindless scrolling that social media offers. It's easy in moments of silence to turn to something that provides us with so much noise.

It's a Friday night. You're wishing you made plans but instead you've lost count of how many times you've cycled through all your social media apps. Nonetheless, you're bored and looking for some good entertainment. But, the sweatpants are on, your face has been washed and your hair is a mess, so there's no turning back now; you're in for the night.
Before you grab the remote to start the endless search for a new movie on Netflix, I'd advise you to take a few minutes to reconsider. There is a lot of entertainment out there, and for the most part, you don't want to have to get all gussied up for the occasion. Now of course there are the go-to's: Netflix, HULU, (or any of those illegal sites) or the classic movie theater, but don't rule out the old school drive-in quite yet.
The drive-in movie theater is a win-win for all types of movie goers; the romantic, the cheapskate, the heavy snacker, the whisperer, the cackler, etc. The drive-in caters to the wants of each and every member of the audience, all in the luxury and comfort of his or her vehicle. Although you may be leaving the house, you're really only steps away from your own mobile theater.
Nobody wants to break the bank just to get some valuable entertainment. Drive-in theaters cost anywhere from $4.00-$8.00 per person, while including two different showings. An average theater ticket costs around $12.00 per person, not including drinks or snacks, for just one showing. This is about four times the cost of a drive-in ticket, taking into account the amount of movies being shown.

Photographed by Trevor Tondro, its minimal look inside and out is what gives this house such a cool vibe. The white walls work well with the dark wooden flooring to create a space that feels super luxurious. Our favourite spots though have to be the outside sections of decking that look out towards the sea. Just imagine watching the sunset from there… check it out in the photos below!

J. D. Robb is the pseudonym for a #1 New York Times bestselling author of more than 200 novels, including the bestselling In Death series. There are more than 500 million copies of her books in print.
Naked in Death features Lt. Eve Dallas of the NYPD as she searches for a serial killer of prostitutes. It hints at the isolation, neglect, and sexual abuse that Eve suffered as a child, memories that she tries to suppress. The adult Eve is slow to trust and awkward when faced with affection and kindness. Yet over the course of this series, she acquires a husband, Roark; a partner, Peabody; and a varied host of friends-hard-boiled reporter Nadine, humanitarian doctor Louise, and worldly wise, bursting with life, rock star Mavis, all characters who also appear in Visions in Death. The culprit in Visions is raping, murdering, and mutilating women seen by a psychic in her dreams. Susan Ericksen renders each individual with proficiency; indomitable Eve and spunky Peabody's verbal sparring is adroitly delivered, and she moves easily and distinctly between the two women. Ericksen is equally successful with the male characters. Both books are great fun to listen to, but buy the whole series.-Juleigh Muirhead Clark, John D. Rockefeller Jr. Lib., Colonial Williamsburg Fdn., VA Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
Though not as gripping as the previous installments in Robb's mid-21st-century In Death series (Remember When, etc.), this new offering showcases her many talents. New York policewoman Eve Dallas is on the trail of a serial killer who strangles his young female victims with a red ribbon and removes their eyes postmortem. Dallas and her longtime partner, Detective Peabody, pursue the criminal with wisecracking vigor and old-fashioned police work, assisted as well by Eve's handsome husband, billionaire businessman Roarke, and a beautiful psychic who volunteers to share her chilling visions of the murders. Naturally, the determined Dallas gets her man, though her toughness is shaken along the way by memories of her own childhood abuse, the murderer's vicious attack on Peabody and a surprising 11th-hour revelation. The Thomas Harrisesque mystery resolves rather simply, and the story gets less of an energy boost than usual from the romantic power play between Eve and Roarke and the edgy sci-fi detail that made the earlier books so distinctive. (In fact, the Manhattan of 2059 is oddly old-fashioned, with more homey crafts stores than the New York of 2004.) Nevertheless, the book is a sassy, smart-alecky read, possessing the warm characterizations and witty dialogue that have earned Robb/Roberts her huge and loyal readership. Agent, Amy Berkower at Writer's House. (Aug.) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
"The danger gets way too close to home in this newest chapter in
the gripping In Death series. Without a doubt, this is one of the
most consistently excellent, thrilling and emotionally gripping
series ever published."--RT Book Reviews "A sassy, smart-alecky
read, possessing the warm characterizations and witty dialogue that
have earned Robb/Roberts her huge and loyal
readership."--Publishers Weekly
More Praise for the In Death series "Robb is a virtuoso."--Seattle Post-Intelligencer "It's Law & Order: SVU--in the future."--Entertainment Weekly "J. D. Robb's In Death novels are can't-miss pleasures."--#1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben "Anchored by terrific characters, sudden twists that spin the whole narrative on a dime, and a thrills-to-chills ration that will raise the neck hairs of even the most jaded reader, the J. D. Robb books are the epitome of great popular fiction."--New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane

The photobook landscape has changed drastically over the past few decades due to the rise of the self-publishing movement. In April, photographers Raymond Meeks and Justine Kurland co-taught a three-day workshop that walked students through the process of designing and producing an artist's book.
On the first day, Meeks and Kurland introduced possibilities for different types of artists' books, followed by a discussion on how to develop a narrative arc, while showing examples of their own work. Special guest Tim Carpenter spoke about his book "A house and a tree", as well as the small imprint he cofounded. Later in the afternoon, Meeks and Kurland reviewed students' proposed book projects and offered individualized suggestions regarding each person's edit and how to sequence their images. The following day, they continued to review book projects, then worked as a group, with an InDesign assistant, to create a unique layout for each participant's book. On the last day, the group constructed their books using various binding methods by stitching, folding, and gluing the spreads designed the previous week. In the afternoon, they were joined by photographer John Gossage, who spoke with the students about their work and gave a short talk about the exciting creative potential that lies within the making of photobooks.
"Sensational instructors—most generous with knowledge and help."
"Great instruction, and incredibly intimate individual attention."
"Justine and Ray have passion, insight, and a generous spirit."
—Workshop participants
Raymond Meeks (born in Ohio, 1963) has been recognized for his books and pictures centered on family and place. In November 2014, a mid-career retrospective of his books and prints was organized by Light Work in Syracuse, New York, featuring more than twenty books, including self-published works and numerous other publications. Meeks currently teaches a course on photobooks at the Rhode Island School of Design and lives in upstate New York.
Justine Kurland (born in Warsaw, New York, 1969) received her BFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York, in 1996, and her MFA from Yale University in 1998. Her work has been exhibited extensively at museums and galleries in the U.S. and internationally. In 2013, she was awarded a New York Foundation of the Arts' Artists' Fellowship for Photography. She is represented by Mitchell-Innes & Nash, New York.
Tim Carpenter is a cofounder of the photobook publishing imprint TIS Books. He resides in Brooklyn and photographs extensively in central Illinois. He received an MFA in Photography from the Hartford Art School, Connecticut, in 2012.

Pundi X Integrates Support For Binance Chain
The team at Pundi X aims to integrate support for Binance Chain. After the completion of the process, all the token developers on Binance Chain can list their tokens on Pundi X open platform.
Zac Cheah, the co-founder and CEO of Pundi X, made an announcement saying,
"We're happy to announce that Open Platform will support Binance Chain tokens. Binance Chain developers will be able to add more use cases for their cryptocurrencies by reaching physical stores and retailers around the world equipped with the XPOS."
Binance Chain developers can access their BEP2 tokens listed on the Pundi X Open Platform. This Open Platform allows developers to have their cryptocurrencies as a part of Pundi X payment ecosystem.
Changpeng Zhao also explains about his mission with Binance Chain,
"Our mission with Binance Chain is to have a truly decentralized platform for exchanging assets, and it's a mission we share with our friends from Pundi X. We look forward to seeing what new frontiers our Binance Chain token developers reach through this integration."
Access To Crypto Payments
The Pundi X payments ecosystem usually revolves around XPOS. Basically, XPOS is a point-of-sale device which allows its merchants to accept cryptocurrencies for their transactions. XPOS is linked with the XPASS and XWallet.
XPASS is a NFC-enabled physical card that can be used in all XPOS retailers. Whereas XWallet is a mobile app that allows users to track and manage their funds. The XPOS merchants will now accept payments in Bitcoin, Ether, BNB, DGX, KCS, KNC, and Pundi X's own token, NPXS.
Cheah also discusses on his mission for blockchain technology,
"The Open Platform furthers our mission to make blockchain technology and cryptocurrency accessible to everyone. With Binance Chain on board, we hope to extend that mission to more of our fellow blockchain developers."
Pundi X also aims to complete the integration before July 1, 2019. Also, the withdrawal and deposit of BNB BEP2 will begin from 0:00:00 GMT+8 on July 1 or earlier.

"I really don't see anything romantic in proposing," Moncrieff says to his friend Jack ("Ernest") Worthing. "It is very romantic to be in love, but there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted."
Moncrieff wears a paisley robe over a pair of blue undershorts. He reclines on red Moroccan cushions in his London flat and banters with Worthing, played by Anthony Fusco as a starchy straight man in blazer, vest, and neckerchief. Moncrieff challenges Worthing with a few mysteries: Why would Worthing want to propose to Gwendolen, Moncrieff's cousin, when he seems to be flirting with a girl named Cecily? And why does Cecily believe his name is Jack, instead of Ernest?
"Come, old boy, you had much better have the thing out at once," warns Moncrieff.
"My dear Algy, you talk exactly as if you were a dentist," answers Worthing. "It is very vulgar to talk like a dentist when one isn't a dentist. It produces a false impression."
Jonathan Moscone has directed a light and elegant Earnest, with witticisms all in place -- perfect for a warm summer night in the Orinda hills, if only the weather would cooperate. Murray's Moncrieff is also jaunty and arch and very British, which becomes less surprising when you realize that Murray, in fact, is British: That all-American image turns out to be his most skillful performance. The exquisite reversal is perfect for a play like Earnest, which sends up a society where all impressions are false.
Oscar Wilde's most perfect play premiered in 1895 and made him a hero of the London stage. Four days later the Marquis of Queensberry denounced him as a sodomite, and within three months Wilde was sentenced to two years in prison for being the lover of Queensberry's son. Wilde, in other words, had lived the double life skewered in his play -- he'd known the hypocrisy of his age from the stifling inside -- and his flameout became a more spectacular drama than anything he'd written.
Moscone seems overaware of Wilde's legend. He pokes fun at it by raising a portrait of the author's face behind the stage in Act 3. That's hardly necessary, since every well-turned phrase is a pungent Wildeism, and all of Katherine Roth's costumes and Kate Edmunds' sets turn playfully on what we already expect from Earnest. (The sets grow progressively sparer, from Moncrieff's lavish Moroccan-accented flat in Act 1 to a country house evoked by a pink table and AstroTurf in Act 2 to a nearly bare stage in Act 3, backed by the portrait of Wilde.) But Moscone's knowingness is not a serious problem, which is to say it doesn't get in the way of strong acting by Fusco or Murray or any of the women -- Julie Eccles as Gwendolen, Susannah Schulman as Cecily, or Domenique Lozano as Moncrieff's formidable aunt, Lady Bracknell.
Lady Bracknell is a vision of death in her pale makeup and purplish lips. She's been trussed up in a gray dress, a feathered hat, and a veil. Her conventional opinions close like an iron gate on the marriages proposed by Moncrieff and Worthing, and Lozano plays her at a fine high pitch of Victorian rectitude. ("Never speak disrespectfully of society," she says to Moncrieff. "Only people who can't get into it do that.") Lozano may be too young to play a proper Lady Bracknell, but then Eccles and Schulman -- not to mention Fusco and Murray -- are too old for their roles. It doesn't matter. The whole cast knows how to act, down to Clive Worsley as both Moncrieff's butler, Lane, and Worthing's footman, Merriman. Worsley distinguishes the roles without disturbing the blandness proper to an English manservant.
"You are a perfect pessimist, Lane," says Moncrieff.
"I try to give satisfaction, sir."
The play is one long, clever deceit, and maybe the most infectious part of the show is the amount of fun the actors seem to have. They are, after all, professional liars, and they must enjoy fooling the audience at least as much as Wilde did.

Wide Shot and Tight Shot with Camera in Wirecast Go?
I understand that Wirecast Go offers the ability to have "multiple shots." Does that mean I can put my camera on a tripod and have one shot be a wide shot and a second shot be a tight shot (via digital zoom) using the same camera on my iPhone?
Or are the multiple shots limited to simply adding overlays to the single camera perspective? Also, can I stream to Facebook using Wirecast Go if I'm on a Verizon LTE cellular signal or is wifi required? Thanks.
Generally multiple shots would mean with and without title and to go from media files to media files to live camera and back.
If would be interesting given the 4k camera in some iPhones if one could stream in 1080 or 720 and have multiple repositioned shots.
Wirecast Go can use LTE and you may try using RTMP to stream to Facebook.
Adam Nieto Perhaps Wirecast Go isn't controlling the manual zoom on the iPhone X. Please do fill out the form and make the feature request.

Yale University is known as one of the top schools in the country. In addition to
an all-around reputation of excellence, Yale is also home to one of the top nursing
schools in the nation. Yale University School of Nursing (YSN) was recently ranked
as the number seven nursing school in the country by U.S. News and World Report,
tied with University of Pittsburgh, Oregon Health and Sciences University and
Duke University. Yale University was founded in 1701, with the nursing school later founded
in 1923. YSN became the first school to prepare nurses within an educational, rather
than an apprenticeship model. YSN has continued its innovation with many other advances
including the founding of the American hospice movement with Dean Florence S. Wald and
the establishment of the first "graduate entry" nursing program.

Nuoc cham is a classic Vietnamese sauce flavoured with lime, lemongrass, chilli and palm sugar. Like its Thai counterpart, its success relies on the balance between sweet, salty, hot and sour. Nuoc cham is great on just about everything - drizzled over rice noodle salad, with rice paper rolls, or served with grilled or fried fish or meat.
1 1/2 tbsp finely grated palm sugar
1 small clove garlic, smashed
60ml fish sauce
2 limes, juiced
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 stem lemongrass (pale base only), finely chopped
2 bullet chillies, seeds in, finely chopped
1. Combine the sugar, garlic, fish sauce and 50 millilitres of water in a small bowl and stir to dissolve the sugar.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and allow to stand for five minutes before using. You can adjust the nuoc cham with more lime, sugar, chilli or fish sauce if needed.

Below is an excerpt directly from Dr. Mercola's newsletter. Please click the link to read more.
Common Sense Tips to Lower Your Risks
While the IARC panel, being a science not policy organization, did not make many specific recommendations to consumers, IARC Director Christopher Wild did take it upon himself to publically state:
"Given the potential consequences for public health of this classification and findings it is important that additional research be conducted into the long-term, heavy use of mobile phones. Pending the availability of such information, it is important to take pragmatic measures to reduce exposure such as hands-free devices or texting."And, Jonathan Samet, leader of the IARC RF-Carcinogenicity working group, of University of Southern California, has said:
"The 2B designation was not limited to cell phones. It has "broad applicability" to all sources of RF radiation" according to Microwave News, something the general news media has not yet zeroed in on.Keep in mind that completely eliminating exposure is close to impossible. Even if you don't use a cell phone and your home is wireless-free, you can be exposed to microwave radiation from your neighbor's wireless devices or while visiting "hot spots" or traveling near cell phone towers. That said, there's still plenty you can do to minimize your exposure and help safeguard your children's health:
If you must use a portable home phone, use the older kind that operates at 900 MHz. They are no safer during calls, but at least some of them do not broadcast constantly even when no call is being made. Note the only way to truly be sure if there is an exposure from your cordless phone is to measure with an electrosmog meter, and it must be one that goes up to the frequency of your portable phone (so old meters won't help much). As many portable phones are 5.8 Gigahertz, we recommend you look for RF meters that go up to 8 Gigahertz, the highest range now available in a meter suitable for consumers.
- Children Should Never Use Cell Phones: Barring a life-threatening emergency, children should not use a cell phone, or a wireless device of any type. Children are far more vulnerable to cell phone radiation than adults, because of their thinner skull bones, and still developing immune and neurological systems.
- Reduce Your Cell Phone Use: Turn your cell phone off more often. Reserve it for emergencies or important matters. As long as your cell phone is on, it emits radiation intermittently, even when you are not actually making a call.
Leave an outgoing message on your phone stating your cell phone policy so others know not to call you on it except in emergencies.
- Use a Land Line at Home and at Work: Although more and more people are switching to using cell phones as their exclusive phone contact, it is a dangerous trend and you can choose to opt out of the madness.
- Reduce or Eliminate Your Use of Other Wireless Devices: You would be wise to cut down your use of these devices. Just as with cell phones, it is important to ask yourself whether or not you really need to use them every single time.
Alternatively you can be very careful with the base station placement as that causes the bulk of the problem since it transmits signals 24/7, even when you aren't talking. So if you can keep the base station at least three rooms away from where you spend most of your time, and especially your bedroom, it may not be as damaging to your health.
Ideally it would be helpful to turn off or disconnect your base station every night before you go to bed. Levels of microwave radiation from portable phones can be extraordinarily high, according to Camilla Rees.
"Portable phone radiation can be as high or higher than a wireless router, though most people would have no idea that this common device at their bedside could be harmful".You can find RF meters at www.emfsafetystore.com. But you can pretty much be sure your portable phone is a problem if the technology is labeled DECT, or digitally enhanced cordless technology.
- Limit Your Cell Phone Use to Where Reception is Good: The weaker the reception, the more power your phone must use to transmit, and the more power it uses, the more radiation it emits, and the deeper the dangerous radio waves penetrate into your body. Ideally, you should only use your phone with full bars and good reception.
Also seek to avoid carrying your phone on your body as that merely maximizes any potential exposure. Ideally put it in your purse or carrying bag. Placing a cell phone in a shirt pocket over the heart is asking for trouble, as is placing it in a man's pocket if he seeks to preserve his fertility.
- Don't Assume One Cell Phone is Safer than Another.There's no such thing as a "safe" cell phone, and do not rely on the SAR value to evaluate the safety of your phone. Always seek CDMA carriers over GSM as they have far lower radiation in their signaling technology. And remember, eliminating cell phone use, or greatly lowering cell phone use from phones of all kinds, is where true prevention begins.
- Keep Your Cell Phone Away From Your Body When it is On: The most dangerous place to be, in terms of radiation exposure, is within about six inches of the emitting antenna. You do not want any part of your body within that area.
- Respect Others Who are More Sensitive: Some people who have become sensitive can feel the effects of others' cell phones in the same room, even when it is on but not being used. If you are in a meeting, on public transportation, in a courtroom or other public places, such as a doctor's office, keep your cell phone turned off out of consideration for the 'second hand radiation' effects. Children are also more vulnerable, so please avoid using your cell phone near children.
- Use Safer Headset Technology: Wired headsets will certainly allow you to keep the cell phone farther away from your body. However, if a wired headset is not well-shielded the wire itself acts as an antenna attracting ambient information carrying radio waves and transmitting radiation directly to your brain. Make sure that the wire used to transmit the signal to your ear is shielded.
The best kind of headset to use is a combination shielded wire and air-tube headset. These operate like a stethoscope, transmitting the information to your head as an actual sound wave; although there are wires that still must be shielded, there is no wire that goes all the way up to your head.
