Madera Golf Course image via maderamuni.com
Written by The Business Journal Staff
The City of Madera is open to exploring new options for its municipal golf course as an agreement with the current management group expires.
The city's agreement with Sierra Golf Management (SGM Inc.) to operate the 18-hole course in north Madera will terminate on Oct. 31 after 10 years.
The Madera City Council voted last week to begin negotiations for a possible extension with Chowchilla-based SGM, but some council members voiced misgivings about how the golf course has been run.
Councilmember CeCe Gallegos remarked on the conditions of the banquet hall, including climate control and upkeep.
"The cleanliness of the building does raise an eyebrow," she said.
Councilmember Jose Rodriguez, an avid golfer, said he used to be a member of the course. He enjoyed playing there, but did note that some amenities needed to be approved. He also remarked that SGM projections for rounds played have come up short.
City staff shared that in fiscal year 2016-17, the city received $53,000 in green fee user charges, representing $2 from each round played. Rodriguez said that was about $80,000 less in revenue than was expected.
Currently in the agreement, SGM pays base rent of $40,000 to lease the course from the city, in addition to $2 from each round played. SGM also pays $50,000 per year for capital improvements to the golf course and clubhouse.
The council formed an ad hoc committee consisting of Rodriguez and Mayor Andy Medellin, another golfer, to further explore the city's options, which include renewing with SGM, finding another operating partner or, as Rodriguez stated, even possibly selling the course.
The council plans to host a workshop with representatives of SGM at a later date. According to its website, SGM's portfolio of golf courses under management include Airways Golf Course in Fresno, Pheasant Run Golf Club in Chowchilla, Ridgemark Golf Club in Hollister and Elkhorn Golf Club in Stockton.
The golf course is located near Madera Municipal Airport, and not far from where North Fork Rancheria plans to build a resort casino off of Highway 99. The project has been stalled by legal challenges.

Market Focus - Surfers: Hang Ten!
If you're looking to market to hip, influential youngsters, ride the wave to surfers. They tend to be affluent—after all, living near the ocean isn't cheap—and they represent the elusive young male demographic.
Even better, nonsurfers who live the surfing lifestyle are another market to target, giving you more bang for your marketing buck. This means you don't have to stick to the coasts with your marketing, as surfing products are popular with even those who live far from the beaches. "They just want to have the feel of that relaxed Southern California lifestyle," says Charlie Anderson, associate publisher of Transworld SURF magazine. "We're very fortunate that way, because it draws more than just the sports-specific market."
Surfer Savvy
There are about 2.3 million surfers in the U.S., concentrated in coastal regions like California, Florida, the Carolinas, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. For surfers, surfing is more a lifestyle than a sport. It can be difficult for nonsurfers to understand the reasons behind the devotion that surfers show to this way of life. "Pro surfer Brad Gerlach has said it's like going to Mars and coming back and trying to explain to someone who's never been to Mars what the experience is like," says Greg Cruse, director of the Western Surfing Association. "It's addictive, and it gets in your blood."
It's not only surfers who long for this lifestyle. "People who buy products that are influenced by surf marketing is quadruple the number of surfers, because the guys in the Midwest who are playing surf video games and watching surf videos consider themselves surfers at some level and are buying the products that appeal to that community," says Anderson.
The market also tends to be young—Transworld SURF magazine hits the 16 to 22 age range—and is 80 percent male. But you can also find older surfers, who favor the longboard over the shortboard because it floats better and is easier to paddle. Surfers are also health-oriented. "They're people who want to have a healthy life and a healthy atmosphere," says Anderson. "The ocean is kind of the fountain of youth."

Protests by the Armenian Diaspora in Brussels last week turned violent, with a premeditated attack on the Azerbaijani Embassy. Similar incidents were orchestrated around the globe in what appears to have been a coordinated campaign of terror. In this opinion editorial, our guest correspondent Dr Ceyhun Osmanli warns of the dangers for Europe if this conflict continues to spiral out of control.
The Caucasus saw the worst hostilities in the last few years when the Armenian armed forces used distillery fire to attack the Tovuz district of Azerbaijan on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border on July 12th, writes Dr. Ceyhun Osmanli.
The attack resulted in 12 Azerbaijani deaths, including a 75-year-old civilian, leaving 4 injured and causing serious damage to Azerbaijani border villages and farms.
Since 1993, Armenia has been occupying 20 percent of the Azerbaijani territory in Nagorno-Karabakh and its 7 surrounding districts despite calls from the UN, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the European Parliament for the immediate withdrawal of the Armenian troops. The recent attack demonstrates not only that Armenia has no intention to comply with international law but also intends to make further territorial gains in north-western Azerbaijan, which is far away from the conflict zone subject to peace talks under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group.
Although the Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan came to power with the promise of a peace settlement in Nagorno-Karabakh, he ended up joining the ranks of the Karabakh clan he had fiercely opposed, especially when it comes to foreign policy. Facing an unprecedented health and economic crisis and large public criticism for its bad management of the pandemic, the Pashinyan government first clamped down on the opposition in violation of democratic principles. And now it seems that it is instrumentalising the escalation of tensions with Azerbaijan to further distract and silence critics with "new advantageous positions" in the Armenian Defence Minister Davit Tonoyan's words.
The recent attacks in Tovuz in addition to the unconstructive attitude of Armenia towards the mediation efforts co-chaired by the US, Russia and France ring the alarm bells for a more belligerent state of affairs in the Caucasus region. Not only did the current Armenian administration refuse to adhere to the OSCE framework agreement, which was agreed upon in principle, but asked for a start-over of peace negotiations from scratch.
By dissimulating fake news about the instigators of the current conflict, Armenia is further seeking to mislead the international community, which shall once again be reminded that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resulted in the loss of more than 30, 000 lives and in the displacement of about 1 million Azerbaijani IDPs and refugees. Our young nation cannot afford another Khojaly massacre, where entire Azerbaijani villages with their women and children, were subject to ethnic cleansing.
Now, Armenia goes so far as to openly attempt to cut the lifeline of our economy by destabilising the Tovuz district. The district is not only of strategic importance to Azerbaijan but also to Europe, as it provides energy and transport links to Georgia, Turkey and Europe for the Azerbaijani oil and gas as well as other export commodities. Major infrastructure projects, such as the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline, Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipeline, Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway and the main highway to the west run through the Tovuz district. By cutting these strategic links, Armenia would not only harm Azerbaijani national interests but could hamper the smooth functioning of TANAP and TAP projects in the future, which are of vital importance for European energy diversification. The destruction of critical Azerbaijani infrastructure has been a longstanding goal of Armenia and its former Defence Minister Seyran Ohanyan had even openly threatened to strike Azerbaijan's Mingachevir hydropower plant back in 2014. The current situation poses an existential threat to our country and cannot remain unreciprocated.
In fact, some 200,000 Azerbaijani citizens took it ot the streets to demand the restoration of Nagorno-Karabakh following the recent incident. Within one week after the attack, the Azerbaijani army registered more than 50,000 new volunteers.
Unless both parties are brought back to the negotiating table and international pressure is mounted to stop the aggressive Armenian policy towards Azerbaijan, our country will not be able to embrace the much-awaited justice that it deserves. The international community shall finally make Armenia comply with its international obligations and respect the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan in line with the UN Security Council Resolutions 822, 853, 874 and 884 on Nagorno-Karabakh. It is commendable that the US Congress passed an amendment on July 21st on displaced and killed people from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova but the international community ought to take a yet tougher stance on these grave border and human rights violations.
Otherwise, the region could find itself on the brink of an all-out war, bringing major regional actors at geopolitical odds, as was recently the case in other parts of the globe. Now is the time for action and not for words, for the cost of inaction could turn out to be extremely high. The issue at stake is not only Azerbaijan's future but also the European energy security as well as its geopolitical stability.

By James Wilson
While Europe and the rest of the world is trying to cope with the coronavirus and searching for ways to re-energise their pandemic-affected economies, fighting and heavy artillery fire broke out on 12th July on the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The fighting was concentrated in a border zone some 300 kms to the north of Nagorno-Karabakh resulting in 20 casualties, both military and civilian.
The EU has urged both sides to stop the armed confrontation, refrain from action and rhetoric that provoke tension, and undertake immediate measures to prevent further escalation. They have called both countries to devote energy and resources to fighting the coronavirus pandemic, and meaningfully re-engage in substantive negotiations under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs.
There has been sporadic violence across the line of contact between these two "arch-enemies" for years, following the collapse of the former Soviet Union. Both countries are amongst the most heavily militarised in the world.
Armenia and Azerbaijan have long been in a state of conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, a territory which is internationally recognised as belonging to Azerbaijan but is currently under Armenian occupation.
The last major clashes in Nagorno-Karabakh erupted in April 2016 with significant advances and strategic gains by Azerbaijani armed forces. Armenia, having relied on Russia (which has a base in Armenia) and the Russian-led Collective Security Treaty Organisaton (CSTO), was surprised to discover that the military backing of Russia and the CSTO did not extend to Nagorno-Karabakh.
This time around both sides blame the other for starting hostilities, and have traded accusations about shelling civilians.
But Armenia would appear by any rational analysis to have the only motive for starting the border skirmishes this time. It has been the post-Soviet nation hardest hit by the pandemic: with reportedly over 30,000 infection cases and more than 500 deaths, as of mid July. The country declared a state of emergency in March, and since then economic activity has collapsed, businesses have closed and unemployment has spiralled.
There has been an estimated decline in GDP of between 2-3.5%, and the Armenian health system is now clearly at the limit of its capacity to deal with the crisis. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has been severely criticised by the opposition for ineffective crisis management and failing to tackle the pandemic.
The situation has shattered the position of Armenia's post-revolution government and destroyed the optimistic sentiment on which Nikol Pashinyan was elected in 2018. His critics say that Pashinyan needs a border provocation with Azerbaijan, to deflect public criticism of his handling of the pandemic. "Rally round the flag" is always an effective tool for ruling circles during periods of international crisis or war, to mobilise the population and change the agenda.
This time, however, the provocation seems to have been planned well in advance. The border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and not the frozen conflict zone of Nagorno-Karabakh, was chosen for starting the conflict. Armenia's renewed national security strategy, adopted on July 10 also put an emphasis on its alliance with Russia and membership of the CSTO. In other words, a relevant reminder on collective security was sent to the Kremlin a couple of days before the skirmish.
From a military point of view, Azerbaijan`s north-western provinces might have also seemed an easy target to the Armenian military. The Azerbaijani side had been restructuring its military units and facilities in this area since 2018 as part of a deliberate policy of demilitarising this area, and the border services have replaced more experienced armed forces.
Aware of these significant changes across the border, the Armenian side was hoping in this blitzkrieg to advance into Azerbaijan`s territory and to occupy new territories. This new tactic is also in line with the Armenian Minister of Defence David Tonoyan's publicly announced strategic doctrine of "New war for new territories", which he declared "will rid Armenia of this trench condition, the constant defensive state, and will add the units which may shift the military actions to the territory of the enemy".
Another reason for choosing this specific region as a battleground is the key infrastructures passing in the vicinity. Built and developed by Azerbaijan over the past two decades, the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline, Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipeline, and Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway form a critical energy and transport corridor between Europe and Asia; they bear geopolitical significance as critical transport and energy infrastructure As a country, which has been left out of such important projects due to its hostile policies toward Azerbaijan and Turkey, Armenia threatens to target this infrastructure in order to exert economic and political pressure.
These border skirmishes which Azerbaijan assert have been initiated by Armenia may yet escalate into a full-scale war and could further develop into a major geopolitical confrontation. There have been massive demonstrations in Baku calling on the Parliament to mobilise troops for outright war against Armenia.
A rational analysis of the situation points to the likely motives that have pushed Armenia into triggering these clashes. Despite his democratic image and calls for peace, Pashinyan has cold-bloodedly planned to provoke this military incident: diverting the population's attention from his failure to handle the COVID-19 crisis and resultant economic problems, occupying "new favourable positions" in Azerbaijani territory, and dragging the CSTO into a conflict with Azerbaijan.
It is important for the EU to step up its diplomacy in the Caucasus, broker a lasting peace and halt the carpet bagging opportunism of Pashinyan which threatens to plunge the region into a war that will benefit nobody.

I think something that can be a real challenge is keeping yourself creative. Especially if you're busy, and don't have much time to sit down and really get stuck in.
This is where a simple sketchbook and pencil come in!
Last year I took part in April Drawing Month, and to help make sure I drew every day, I put a sketchbook in my bag.
I love Pink Pig sketchbooks :)
Keeping a sketchbook in your bag means you can pull it out in hospital waiting rooms...
Down at the river's edge on a summer's day...
Or in your parent's garden!
So grab a sketchbook, or just a small notebook, grab a pencil or pen, and throw it in your bag! Instead of pulling your phone out next time you're stuck waiting somewhere, pull your sketchbook out instead. Doodle, sketch, draw, make notes, jot down thoughts... Let the pages lead you, and don't worry about finishing drawings or making things perfect - the important thing is that you are creating.

Allergy Relief with Testing & Targeted Therapies
Many are surprised to learn that your allergy symptoms are actually formed as an immune response! What was designed to help and heal, can cause immense discomfort and even life-threatening symptoms. This overly aggressive response occurs to everyday exposures such as foods, inhaled or touched substances.
One of the most common allergy responses seen is hay fever, which can cause sneezing, itchy runny or stuffy nose, itchy watery eyes, and headache. Not an optimal way to experience your spring, or for some daily life.
Our Naturopathic approach to allergy treatment includes starting with identifying your allergies. We can work with testing done by any allergist, and also do environmental scratch testing on-site, as well as blood IgE testing when indicated. When possible, the best approach to any allergy treatment plan is avoidance, thus identification is key.
All that said, we certainly do not want you to avoid nature. Calming an overactive immune response can involve work starting from basic gut health, reducing overall allergy exposures including food sensitivities, and ensuring optimal nutrition status. Reducing stressors to the body can involve improving sleep and emotional health, as well as overall health. With this in mind, it is a targeted, whole person approach to emotional and physical health that underlies any allergy treatment.
Our clinic uses sub-lingual immunotherapy (SLIT) to help desensitize against environmental allergies, as well as botanical and nutrient therapies to support the immune system and gut health. There are also targeted therapies for where your symptoms bother you most – from skin to lungs, respiratory to gastrointestinal health.
What is SLIT?
SLIT is a natural allergy treatment that reduces symptoms by addressing the underlying cause of allergy. Small doses of the offending allergen(s) are given to the patient, which increases immune tolerance to these allergens over time. Anti-histamines and other rescue medications only treat the symptoms of allergy, but SLIT desensitizes the body so that it's not allergic in the first place.
There are many benefits to SLIT including an excellent safety and efficacy profile, easy compliance (once daily dosing), reduced time spent in the doctor's office and decreased need for additional allergy medications. SLIT can lead to improved quality of life with fewer sick days away from school or work, better sleep and a reduction in allergy symptoms.
SLIT is a patient specific custom compounded product that is made to suit each patient's individual requirements. It is a natural treatment for allergies caused by:
Treatment with SLIT may be pre-seasonal (annual treatment starting 30-60 days prior to pollen season and continuing to the end of pollen season) or year round for 2-5 years. A decrease in allergy symptoms is expected within 30-60 days of starting SLIT. Research shows that year round treatment for 2-5 years results in desensitization and permanent symptom relief!
There are over 60 clinical trials proving efficacy of SLIT and it has endorsements from the World Health Organization, the World Allergy Organization and the Cochrane Collaboration. SLIT is an effective natural allergy treatment proven to be safe and well tolerated.
How does SLIT work?
SLIT is given as daily sublingual drops (under the tongue). These drops are made up of glycerin (a stabilizing solution) and small concentrates of the offending allergen(s). Research shows that when an allergen is presented this way, the immune system learns to tolerate the allergen over time. This results in less allergy symptoms when the body is exposed to the real allergy source like airborne pollen, mould or pet dander.
What is the difference between SLIT and allergy shots (aka Subcutaneous Immunotherapy or SCIT)?
SLIT is similar to allergy shots in that it directly affects the body's ability to interact with allergens. However, allergy shots need to be given in the physician's office on a weekly basis, which results in many patients discontinuing treatment due to inconvenience. SLIT is a great alternative to allergy shots because it is an effective natural allergy treatment that requires fewer clinic visits, no injections and less time away from school or work.
Are there any side effects?
There are rarely any side effects, but the most common side effect is a mild, local irritation in the mouth and under the tongue. If these symptoms persist or worsen, contact your doctor at the Centre for Natural Medicine in Calgary.
Who can use SLIT?
SLIT can be used as a natural allergy treatment in patients with persistent symptoms of allergies, those that don't respond well to other allergy treatments and those willing to take daily sublingual therapy for months to years.
Who should not use SLIT?
SLIT is not recommended in children under the age of 3.
When should I start my SLIT treatment?
If you are using SLIT as a pre-seasonal treatment, your treatment should begin 4-8 weeks before pollen season. See below for pollen seasons in the Prairies:
As an example, pre-seasonal treatment for tree pollen allergies should begin in early January or February since the tree pollen season begins in March.
If you are using SLIT as a year round treatment, your treatment may begin at anytime.
Also, there is no season for cat, dog, dust-mite or mould allergies, so treatment may begin at anytime.
What to expect during your initial visits?
Prior to treatment with SLIT, an accurate diagnosis will be obtained based on your health history and IgE skin scratch test results. The skin scratch test is performed in our Calgary office and results are read after a 15-20 minute waiting period. You must wait an additional 15 minutes after the results are read until you can be discharged from the clinic. If SLIT is deemed an appropriate allergy treatment, your custom compounded drops are then ordered and a follow-up appointment is booked 2-4 weeks later.
Once the drops arrive, the first dose of SLIT is taken in office and you're monitored for 15-30 minutes. Following this initial dose in our Calgary office, you can take all subsequent doses in the comfort of your own home. A follow-up appointment is booked about 5 weeks after starting treatment to ensure everything is going well.
Following dosage increases, some patients may experience a slight worsening of symptoms, mild oral itching/swelling or gastrointestinal complaints, but these symptoms should subside within 2-3 days. If you experience mouth, throat, chest or abdominal discomfort, or have hives, itching or shortness of breath, you should not take any further doses until consulting with your naturopathic doctor at the Centre for Natural Medicine in Calgary.
How does the IgE Allergy Scratch Test work?
An allergy scratch test is one of the most common methods of IgE allergy testing and it helps to provide an accurate diagnosis in order to treat your specific offending allergen(s). In order to get an accurate result, anti-histamines must be stopped at least 72 hours prior to testing. The test involves placing a small amount of the suspected allergens on the skin and scratching/pricking the skin to introduce the allergen under the skin surface (this feels like a small scratch). The skin is then watched closely for signs of a reaction. A positive reaction usually results in redness and swelling, and sometimes you may feel itchy or irritated in the immediate area of the test – if this occurs, it'll subside within an hour or so. Many suspected allergens can be tested at one time and results are usually obtained within 20 minutes. Allergy scratch tests are safe procedures however there is a remote possibility of an adverse allergic reaction.
IgE is a class of antibody that is produced by the body against allergens and it is responsible for eliciting allergic symptoms. Individuals that are highly allergic to an allergen will have more IgE present under the skin than those only mildly allergic, so results will vary depending on the severity of allergy. Those that do not have allergies do not produce the allergen specific IgE being tested so the skin scratch test will show a negative result.
Once the offending allergies are clearly diagnosed the appropriate treatment regimen can begin, which may include SLIT as a natural allergy treatment option.

One critic calls it the "Islamic conquest of the West." Others say it's a sign of a collapsing West. But on the heels of a story about European churches removing crosses to accommodate Muslim migrants comes another in the same vein: Some German primary schools and daycare centers are renaming a traditional Christian festival to avoid "offending" Islamic newcomers.
This latest victim of political correctness is St. Martin's Day, also known as the Feast of St. Martin. Held on November 11 after the harvest, it's a traditional autumn event on the Christian calendar. But just as how American school calendars long ago renamed the Christmas and Easter breaks, respectively, "winter" and "spring" breaks, secular forces in Germany see fit to further de-Christianize their nation. And the new committee-worthy name they've chosen for the feast day is the "Festival of Lights." Reports Breitbart:
The Acting Headmistress of Salesian Montessori Community School in Oberkassel, Nanette Weidelt, told the Rheinische Post that the new name had been adopted, "in order to facilitate integration".
… The head of the German Red Cross in Gerresheim said her institution had also made the change: "We have deliberately chosen [the new name] because we want the meaning of integration and unity to reach as many children as possible, and because more people will participate in our procession".
WND.com added to the picture, writing, "On top of that, numerous Dusseldorf daycare centers have outright abolished the celebration altogether, due to 'consideration for the refugees,' Infowars reported, citing the Epoch Times." On the other hand, Breitbart tells us that schools such as Sun Road primary in Dusseldorf and Urban Street School in Kita Velberter, Oberbilk, are maintaining the tradition (for now).
Not surprisingly, though, the movement to rename St. Martin's Day is nothing new. As this Epoch Times article points out (text put through Google translate and edited for grammar and style), "The leftist politician Rüdiger Sagel struck two years ago [and said] … the festival should be renamed 'Sun, Moon and Stars'…. Such changes should be made because there are different religions, in particular a high proportion of Muslim children, in day care centers. 'You should not impose the Christian tradition,' Sagel said at the time."
Yet while some blame only Muslims and others only leftists, the West's problems are systemic; they wouldn't be happening were it not for, as British statesman Edmund Burke would have said, the "good men [who] do nothing." As the Wall Street Journal's Bret Stephens put it recently:
Europe is reaching its end not because of its sclerotic economy, or stagnant demography, or the dysfunctions of the superstate. Nor is the real cause the massive influx of Middle Eastern and African migrants. Those desperate people are just the latest stiff breeze against the timber of a desiccated civilization.
Europe is dying because it has become morally incompetent. It isn't that Europe stands for nothing. It's that it stands for shallow things, shallowly. Europeans believe in human rights, tolerance, openness, peace, progress, the environment, pleasure. These beliefs are all very nice, but they are also secondary.
Stephens went on to say, "What Europeans no longer believe in are the things from which their beliefs spring" — such as Christianity. Speaking of which and "shallow things, shallowly," the St. Martin's fiasco reminds me of a Seinfeld episode in which the George Costanza character, struggling to define his relationship with his girlfriend, learns they both like gum and says excitedly that they're "about…gum!" It may seem a silly reference, but is it far less silly than what's occurring here? Breitbart also tells us that a "long-established custom is for communities to gather around a bonfire on St. Martin's eve, called "Martinsfeuer," followed by a lantern procession through the local conurbation." And now the Sensitivity Police have removed all reference to the feast's Christian substance and given us the "Festival of Lights."
Because, of course, lights are what it's all about.
And Christmas is about presents, Easter about a bunny and chocolate eggs, and Thanksgiving about a turkey.
The West has hollowed itself out, sort of like a stuffed animal beautiful on the surface but devoid of life-force. Stephens mentions that Europe believes in tolerance, and it's no wonder. As Greek philosopher Aristotle observed, "Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society."
And Westerners understand tolerance shallowly, so shallowly that they don't understand that as they so often practice it, it is a vice. For tolerance always involves the abiding of a perceived negative. We wouldn't tolerate a fine car or beautiful home, for instance; we relish those things. We might have to tolerate a cold or bad weather, however. And as long as nothing can be done to remedy the cross borne, tolerance is a virtue.
But if we tolerate the destruction of that fine car or beautiful home when we could prevent it, our tolerance is mere weakness of character. And what about tolerating the destruction of an objectively superior culture when its demise could be forestalled? Virtuous?
"Objectively" is the key word. When entertaining a foreign guest we might serve, and tolerate, an exotic food he likes and we don't in hospitality's name; after all, food isn't a matter of Truth but taste (assuming your guest isn't a cannibal). But would you upend an objectively superior culture or renounce an objectively superior faith in hospitality's name?
And there's the rub: Awash in relativism, the West no longer believes in the objective, as this Barna Group study indicates. Westerners have lost their faith. And the easiest way to understand the matter is to ask, who birthed your religion? There are only two possibilities: Either man or something outside of and superior to him (God) did. If the latter, we can say that our faith is the Truth, that it is real and, therefore, not negotiable. But what if, as atheists say, it was invented by man?
Well, if we learned that most of the world liked vanilla, we wouldn't say this made it "objectively good"; it's just a matter of taste and, therefore, we wouldn't call someone who hated it "wrong." But how is our religion any different if the only thing we can say about it is that we "like" it and, by golly, what's more, lots of others "like" it, too? If this is all we can say about not just our faith but religion in general, it then lies in the same category as flavors: taste.
And this is why so many Westerners treat Christianity as a flavor of the day. Just as they might be willing to serve a foreign food to a foreigner in deference to his likes, so are they willing to serve a foreign faith. To them, Christianity is more akin to taste in food than to food for the soul.
Yet upon closer examination, Westerners' relativistic isms — those shallow things understood shallowly — collapse upon themselves. For if everything if relative, how can tolerance be better than intolerance? How can helping migrants be better than hurting them? Why, if there's no God, no Truth, everything boils down to occultist Aleister Crowley's maxim, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law." And then the West might as well just do what it likes.
Of course, too many moderns don't much like Christianity, either. Many don't like their Western culture. And what you don't like, you often allow to die.

An introduction to the business model canvas.
The Business Model Canvas was developed by Strategyzer, and is used by entrepreneurs that are creating their business model. The canvas features nine segments, and teams use post it notes with their thoughts and ideas in each column of the canvas. This article will introduce the business model canvas to you, and will take you step by step through the process of building your business model.
What is a business model?
A business model describes how a company creates, delivers, and captures value and encompasses all areas of the business, from channels, to cost structures. A company's competitive advantage can stem from it's business model, and innovations in a business model can create disruptive innovation in your sector.
What is the business model canvas?
The business model canvas is a tool used by entrepreneurs when creating and refining their business model. The canvas is pictured below, and you can use it by taking notes on how your business addresses each segment of the canvas.
The business model canvas has nine segments.
- Customer Segments.
- Channels.
- Customer Relationships
- Value Propositions.
- Key Resources.
- Key Activities.
- Key Partnership.
- Cost Structure.
- Revenue Streams.
Using the canvas.
When using the canvas, be sure to start from right to left. Take the heading of each segment of the canvas, and then begin taking notes on how your business fits into each segment. When the canvas is complete, you should have a clear image of your business model.
Part One: Customer Segments.
We'll start by addressing the customer segments that our business is looking to serve. You should aim to create a clear picture of your ideal customer. For example: "Amy is the target customer for my luxury holiday business. She is 26 years old, and has a passion for travelling with her friends and uploading the photographs to Social Media. She earns £30,000 per year, and lives in an apartment in Leeds with her dog."
The three areas you'll need to know about your customers are:
Customer Jobs. What is the customer trying to achieve by using your product/service? Let's look at water as an example. In this case, the job a customer is trying to get done is to quench his/her thirst, as cheaply and as easily as possible.
Jobs also depend on context. You may buy a small bottle of water when travelling, however you may prefer a large, two litre bottle of water when at home. Ultimately, the customer (you) has the same job, but they are having to complete the job in a different context. When travelling, customers don't want to carry a two litre bottle of water around with them. However, when at home, this becomes easier and saves space in the fridge.
Customer Pains. Now that you've identified a customer's job, we'll look at what pain points they have when completing the job. This could include the price, the convenience, or emotional factors (such as looking bad by using a certain brand).
Customer Gains. Finally, list the gains that customers desire by using your product/service. What added value can you add to the product/service that customers will love?
Part Two: Channels.
Now that we've identified our target customer, we can begin looking at how we reach them. "Channels" refers to the route you take to reach the customers. We've listed a few channels that you can use to reach customers below:
- Mailorder. Customers use a catalogue and order items through the phone and receive the goods through the post.
- Online Sales (E-Commerce). Customers order from your website, and receive the goods through the internet, or through the post.
- Wholesalers. Wholesalers buy items in bulk, and sell them on to shops further down the chain.
- Retailers. Selling your product or service through retailers.
- Platforms. Using platforms like Airbnb, Amazon, and Ebay to sell your products.
Part Three: Customer Relationships.
Next, we'll look at customer relationships. How will you build relationships with customers and engage with them? Will they subscribe to your services, or only use them when required?
In this section, be sure to look at your "touch-points". Map out every point of contact that your customer has with your business, and ensure that they are receiving a high quality service at each touch point.
Part Four: Value Proposition.
This section highlights how you product/service helps your customer achieve their job, whilst minimising pain points and creating added value in the process. Be sure to use the customer value proposition canvas to help you with this section.
Case Study: Airbnb
Airbnb have grown from a small start-up to a global business through the use of a "platform based business model".
This video will show how Airbnb has created their business model, and used it to build a ten-figure valuation.
Part Five: Key Resources.
Businesses exist to turn resources into products and services that customers benefit from. In this section, we'll look at what resources we need to service our customers and run the business, and you'll have to list everything you need (including time!) to run your business.
Resources aren't limited to tangible, physical goods. Time, labour, and property are examples of resources. In this section, make a list of all the resources you'll need, the cost of the resources, and the amount required. This will come in handy when we look at the cost structure element of the canvas.
Part Six: Key Activities.
"Activities" refer to the actions that the business takes when turning inputs into outputs. We'll look at systems in detail during a subsequent course. For the time being, we'll create a list of all the actions your business must take to fulfil the needs of your customers.
We can gather actions together to create systems. A system is a process that, when followed, will produce a pre-planned outcome. Businesses need systems to produce consistent results for their customers and employees.
Routine Systems are actions that you take consistently to "keep the wheels turning". Examples include: "send customer feedback form every Friday", or "review sales figures on the last Friday of each month".
Cue Systems are actions that you take when a specific prompt, or cue, arises. For example, what process do you have in place if a customer makes a complaint? What process would you follow if your staff member was absent?
Policies are the rules, or parameters, that govern every employee's conduct within the organisation. For example, "employees must not mention the company's name on social media".
Part Seven: Partnerships.
Partnerships are agreements between two or more organisations that are working together to achieve a specified outcome. Businesses can use partnership agreements to capture the resources of other organisations, and use them to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.
Can you think of any potential partnerships that your business could leverage?
Part Eight: Cost Structure.
The bottom two sections of the canvas look at the finances behind the business. In this section, we'll look at the cost structure of your business. Businesses can separate their costs into overheads, and direct costs.
Direct costs encompass everything you need to directly produce a product or service. This could include raw materials and packaging.
Overheads refer to the recurring costs that your business will have. This could include rent, insurance, staff wages, and IT equipment.
Part Nine: Revenue Streams.
Finally, create a list of all the revenue streams your business will have. Remember, your business could have multiple revenue streams. Some common revenue structures include:
- Markup pricing: where you add a % surplus above your costs, leaving you with a profit margin of your choice.
- Subscriptions: where customers pay for the product/subscription through a subscription.
- Freemium: where a level of service is provided for free, and customers pay more for extra services.
- Credit Options: This can be used for consumers making large purchases, granting them the option of spreading payments over a longer time frame.
Applying the canvas to your business idea.
That's a lot of information! The business model canvas is designed to be used in teams. With a mentor, or a fellow Orbiteer, write the heading of each segment and begin taking notes on how your business fits into each of the segments.
By the end of the session, you should have a clear business model that shows how your business creates and captures value.

Sunday's Share – Mother's Day
May 9, 2010 § 6 Comments
It's a Mother's Day Sunday's Share this week and as always, Cate @ Moments of Whimsy got the ball rolling with her post.
I'd like to contribute this thought…
A mother's greatest lessons to her children are in the example she sets for them. Modeling is far superior to merely using words to teach her kids how to get on in the world. So if a mother wants her children to follow their passions, pursue their personal dreams and shoot for the moon, it stands to reason she should being doing these things for herself also.
Happy Mother's Day
In addition, here's a pic of what I woke up to this morning!
Isn't he awesome! I want a whole army of them now. 😀
§ 6 Responses to Sunday's Share – Mother's Day
Oh I just love that little guy!! So cute!!
And yes, modeling for our children is so very important. I just finished watching Alfie Kohn's Unconditional Parenting DVD and thought I would leave you with this quote that I posted on Facebook.
"The way kids learn to make good decisions is by making decisions, not by following directions." — Alfie Kohn
Isn't it adorable?
I'm going to check that DVD out, sounds interesting. I especially like the quote.
Happy Mother's Day to you as well.
happy mother's day, and yes… he's charming! 🙂
visiting from cate's… 🙂
Hi Patty,
Thank you for stopping by. Isn't he though? I hope you had a great Mother's Day too.

Brinkies says of the partnership:
"King Content has been creating high quality content for a number of years, but with Native Advertising we are now able to amplify a brand's content to targeted audiences at scale and drive consumer interest. Now with the implementation of the Outbrain API into Communiqué we will be able to conduct performance analysis within one single platform."

The most Innovative and Best British Blues Guitarist is Back
Matt Schofield Band (UK/USA)
Though he holds a British passport and is an inductee of the British Blues Hall of Fame, Matt Schofield has been making his mark globally as one of the top players in the new class of six-string wunderkinds. Now, he's back at Groove Now after his first show in 2010.read more
The Los Angeles Daily News wrote, "In Schofield, the UK has produced the best Blues guitarist from any country in decades… head and shoulders above the herd", while Guitar & Bass Magazine rated him in the top ten British blues guitarists of all time, ranking him with icons Eric Clapton and Peter Green.
Born in the industrial city of Manchester and raised amongst the rolling hills in locked-in-time Cotswolds, Schofield began playing guitar at the age of 12. At age 18, he left the countryside and moved to London. There, as a sideman, he was able to hone his skills, backing a great variety of experienced and well-known artists of the British Blues scene, visiting American artists, as well start touring internationally. The introspective, well-read (lover of science, history, and philosophy) and passionate Schofield said, "this enabled me to stay close to my roots while learning my trade and exploring a variety of musical frontiers."
"By age 25, I was starting to explore my own band projects. Although my formative guitar influences are largely the old-school blues players, I never wanted my own music to be constrained by a rigid formula, or even genre. I just want to play 'Matt Schofield music'. Classic Jazz, funk, soul, and rock, and all the music I love have all found their way into it. The process of writing and singing has become increasingly important to me, and I feel it's those other aspects of creativity that helped define my own voice on the guitar. It's always been important to find a context for the guitar to be part of, so that it's not just guitar solos for their own sake."
"I remain a music lover first and foremost. The recognition I've received from both fans and peers is humbling and inspiring, and those 'pinch me' moments, where I found myself trading licks with heroes like Robben Ford and Buddy Guy, are still the biggest thrill."
"Now after five studio albums and a solid 10 years of touring with my own band, I have definite broader concepts I want to explore. Remaining open to where the music might take me while maintaining the excitement that improvising and collaborating with talented musicians allow, is key to me. My inspiration and goals came from many places: My influences old and new, including musicians I have wanted to collaborate with for years. Things I still feel I hadn't fully realized on previous studio records, and a need to keep pushing myself. It all meets at the place where I'm heading now. I'm always aiming to go as far as possible to capturing the same connection with the listener that I aim to make at a live show or on record. That's the goal. Capturing that special moment."

KU School of Medicine–Wichita
Public Affairs
1010 N. Kansas
Wichita, KS, 67214
KUSM-W > Newsroom > KU School of Medicine students announce where they will be residents
March 18, 2019
The Class of 2019 from KU School of Medicine-Wichita poses for a group photo on Match Day, the day they learned which residency program they matched with for the next several years of training.
By Greg Peters
For the 200-plus graduating medical students on the University of Kansas School of Medicine's three campuses, Match Day is an anxious time. It ultimately culminates with joy and relief though, when four years of hard work and persistence conclude, and they learn where they matched for their residencies and in which specialty.
Match Day is also a nationwide annual event. On the third Friday in March, more than 30,000 students across the country await the news about which hospital they've been paired with via the National Resident Matching Program, a private, nonprofit organization founded in 1952 to provide orderly and fair methodology for pairing applicants for residencies in the United States with the preferences of those in charge of the residency programs.
This year, a total of 198 students matched from the three KU School of Medicine campuses - 124 in Kansas City; 67 in Wichita; and 7 in Salina. Of the 205 graduates, 54 will be staying in Kansas for their residencies - 27 in Kansas City; 24 in Wichita; and 3 in Salina.
On the KU Medical Center campus in Kansas City, candidates took center stage at Battenfeld Auditorium to announce where they will spend the next three to seven years, depending on their specialties.
Among those matches was Asona Lui, who may have taken arguably one of the more challenging paths to Match Day of any of her peers in Kansas City before being matched in radiation oncology at the University of San Diego Medical Center in La Jolla, California. A graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, Lui has spent the past eight years completing the M.D.-Ph.D. Physician Scientist Training Program at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Along the way, she has persevered through academic uncertainty, dealt with personal loss and battled severe challenges to her health.
"I am definitely a stronger, more self-assured person," said Lui, whose husband, Marco, joined her parents and sister for the event. "I have found an even deeper commitment to empathy and compassion than when I started."
The daughter of a successful vascular surgeon in Topeka, Lui witnessed how demanding his career was and determined early on that she wanted to make her own way in medicine. She joined the M.D.-Ph.D. program hoping to further her work in immunology, but those plans changed just before she was about to take the Step 1 exam of her medical boards when the lab where she was supposed to work moved to another school. With the help of advisors in the M.D.-Ph.D. program and the dean's office, Lui found a mentor in Joan Lewis-Wambi, Ph.D., an assistant professor in cancer biology, who was a new junior faculty member at the time, A fruitful collaboration was born.
In late 2017, Lui faced personal tragedy when her good friend and M.D.-Ph.D. classmate, Amy Cantilena, was killed in a plane crash. "We dreamed about Match Day together many times over the last seven years," Lui said. "It's still hard to believe that she wasn't here on stage today. But I know she is celebrating with us, and I am sharing this accomplishment with her."
Another major obstacle that defined Lui's time in medical school was battling a connective tissue disorder that ultimately left her in a wheelchair for several months and having to relearn how to walk. She said the experience gave her greater empathy for her patients with mobility issues. Lui is slated to have knee surgery again shortly after Match Day.
Matt Moreno has had a life-long desire to become a physician. Growing up in Wichita, he would tag along with his mother when she took his older brother to the doctor to be treated for cerebral palsy and numerous other medical conditions. The care and kindness he witnessed from the medical professionals who treated his brother left a lasting impression.
"I have aspired to become a physician my entire life, and announcing where I matched gives me a strong sense of accomplishment," said Moreno, who was joined by close friends and family for Match Day. "They say as one door closes another one opens, so I am excited for what the future may bring and to be able to put into action everything I have learned throughout my four years of medical school."
Moreno matched in plastic surgery at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. After arriving at medical school thinking he wanted to be a cardiologist, those plans changed to surgery after he spent a summer as a teaching assistant working in the Cadaver Lab and completing an elective in cardiothoracic surgery.
"I'm keeping my mind open about what I want to do after this residency," he said. "I enjoy teaching and being at an academic institution, and teaching the future generation of physicians is on my radar. I'd like to be a microsurgeon and ultimately practicing in Kansas."
In Salina, Francisco De la Serna was joined by his fiancé and parents as he learned that he will be traveling to Worchester, Massachusetts to work as a resident in emergency medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Born in Mexico and raised in St. Mary's, Kansas, De la Serna's career has been on a collision course with emergency medicine ever since he saw an episode of HBO's "Band of Brothers" that focused on Eugene "Doc" Roe.
"I was both terrified and amazed," said De la Serna, who earned his bachelor of science in biology from Washburn University. "For some reason, I knew that was who I should be. It didn't take long for me to follow in his footsteps, joining the Army as a combat medic. My interest in medicine continued to grow during my deployment in Iraq."
Shortly after returning from his deployment, De la Serna found himself in the middle of a mass shooting at Fort Hood in Texas. With his training as a medic, De la Serna was able to help with the wounded and finished his day assisting in the emergency department.
"I observed the emergency physicians leading well-trained teams in calm, systematic resuscitations of the wounded, and for the second time in my life I knew who I should be."
In Wichita, Christy Peterson will be taking her medical skills to Nashville where she matched in urology at Vanderbilt University. Unlike many of her peers, Peterson matched in January, so she was able to enjoy the moment with her classmates before they head off to their residencies.
"This week, I've had the chance to spend time with my friends, reminiscing about our last four years and celebrating everyone's match," said the Washburn Rural High School graduate, who now considers Lindsborg her hometown. "It's encouraging to be around so many hard-working and empathetic colleagues who will soon be dedicated caregivers for their communities."
For as long as she can remember, Peterson has pursued a career in medicine. She can trace the beginning of her interest to the second grade, when despite having limited access to the medical community, she boldly told her parents she wanted to become a "brain surgeon."
Her plans have changed since grade school days. After graduating from Kansas State University with degrees in biology and psychology, Peterson enrolled in the KU School of Medicine thinking her calling was in cardiology. That all changed when she scrubbed in on her first surgery during her general surgery rotation in Wichita.
"I left the OR knowing I wanted to become a surgeon," she said. "The clinical aspects of medicine were still appealing, so I began my search for a specialty that would allow me to operate, while building long-term relationships with patients. A friend recommended urology, and I found the field to be the perfect combination of surgery and clinical medicine."

Gay marriage
But government plans to let same-sex couples not only marry but marry in church, detailed on December 11th, have startled the ecclesiastical horses and divided the already fissiparous Conservatives. The Anglican and Catholic churches, along with the Muslim Council of Britain and Lord Sacks, the Chief Rabbi, oppose the move, which contravenes their belief that marriage is between a woman and a man. High-profile Tories including Michael Gove, the education secretary, and Boris Johnson, London's mayor, are for the change, but over 100 Conservative MPs are believed to oppose it. That will not put the outcome in doubt, as Labour and the Liberal Democrats support the shift, but it guarantees a continuing row.

MiAL Emerging Star Award 2017 Winner – Stella Kapezanou
Posted by Clyde & Co Art Award on / 0 Comments
Made in Arts London (MiAL) has partnered with Clyde & Co to offer this award to UAL students in their Foundation, First or Second year of study. The 2017 MiAL Emerging Star Award Winner is Stella Kapezanou as voted by the London Clyde & Co Art Committee.
As winner of the award Stella will receive representation with MiAL, £500 towards her practice and 1-2-1 coaching session.
About Stella's Work:
Interested in images from everyday life, Stella aims to critically explore the habits of people living in Western capitalist societies, exploring their belief systems and the emotional disconnect to their surroundings.
Intrigued by subjects that are not considered "high art" but are common to the viewers eye, Stella hopes to capture the temporariness, decay and mortality of humans. Her compositions straddle a boundary between the real and the unreal, depicting scenes that never quiet occurred against ideal skies and the greenest lawns. The world is captured not as a it appears, but as she perceives it".
Her work will be available on the UAL website as part of the Made in Arts London 2017 Collection this October.
Congratulations Stella!

Why is it that fretting, stewing, or worrying about an issue consciously doesn't dissolve the emotions, but tapping while expressing it does?
photo by Mike
In part one of this series we looked at how the human mind creates models of information from our experiences which enable us to quickly assess the situation we are in. We also looked at the way these inaccurate and/or incomplete models can cause us problems. In part two of this series we looked at how Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) can be used to update and change these models to be more accurate and therefore serve us better.
In this third part of the series we are going to look at how our disposition affects our ability to use EFT to change these models. At the end of part two we showed that EFT is a mechanical process. If EFT is done correctly it will work. It does not require you to believe that EFT will work, and it does not require you to have the intention for healing to happen.
But there are two ideas that must be kept in mind for the statements of the last paragraph to be true and for EFT to be an effective tool in our lives.
First, EFT must be done correctly. When I say "done correctly" I'm not merely talking about the mechanics of the tapping on the body or saying the reminder phrase just perfectly. Yes, it is important that we tap on the right points, but we can only say that we are doing EFT correctly when we are pulling the emotion or model into our energy system so we can work on it. Simply saying a phrase out loud does not guarantee that we have brought the emotion into focus.
I can say "This pain in my neck. This pain in my neck. This pain in my neck." and be thinking about what I want to have for dinner tonight. It might appear that I'm doing EFT correctly, but in reality I'm just going through the motions.
This cannot be stressed enough, especially to those who are just starting with EFT. The words we use are not magic. They don't have to be prefect. They don't have to be said in just one way. The phrases we say are only important in the way they help us to stay tuned in to our problem.
When a client is crying (having a SUDs level of 9 or 10) we don't need to say anything out loud. They are completely tuned into the issue. As the issue comes down, we will then start using the phrases to make sure the client stays focused on the issue.
EFT is a mechanical process that works — "when we do it correctly."
Second, if we believe EFT works we are more likely to DO it than if we don't believe.
This is really common sense. It could be 100% true that if you stand on one leg for 23 minutes a night humming "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" that you are going to find your true love. There is no way I am going to believe it. So it doesn't matter if it's true or not, because it will have no effect on my life. My belief doesn't determine whether this action works, but my disbelief is going to prevent me from trying it. In this case it won't work, because it doesn't work for me.
EFT is no different. If you don't believe it will make a difference in your life, you are much less likely to do it. This is the only way belief can affect EFT's effectiveness. We will be more willing to try it when we are around people who believe in its effectiveness. We might even try it from time to time on our own, but as soon as we find some resistance or the moment the one-minute miracles stop, that is the moment we will stop using EFT.
EFT is a very powerful tool:
- which works regardless of whether we believe in it or not
- which we won't use unless we believe in it, therefore our belief will determine if it is effective in our lives

Pets play an important role in our personal lives that only sporadically appears in fiction; normally these relationships are relegated to the realm of memoir. But when novelists do give us pets, they do so with heart, ingenuity, and quirkiness, as shown by these seven audiobooks. Read more

Trump Torched By AOC, Omar, Tlaib, Pressley In Blistering Capitol Hill Presser
"It is time for us to stop allowing this president to make a mockery of our constitution".
14 comments on "Trump Torched By AOC, Omar, Tlaib, Pressley In Blistering Capitol Hill Presser"
mfn says:
Hear, hear. Trump is manifestly unfit to hold the office of President of the United States. Impeachment now.
Rcohn says:
Trumps tweets qualify as "high crimes and misdemeanors"?
Or are you the only one qualified to determine that he is psychologically /mentally unable to hold office
Man of Lourdes says:
Hey Mitch… you want to take that call?? Something to do with getting rid of that a'hole that thinks he's a president, No?? Who owns you Mitch?? Special Interests, gun lobby?? How about a foreign dictator?? Or are you a racist too?? Remember that oath you took when you became a Senator… something about serving the best interests of the people and America?? Guess you've forgotten. It was a long time ago. John McCain never forgot. But then he had class. Damn , we miss the good ones.
Rcohn says:
Look at all of the polls, taken by the Democratic Party. These 4 Congresswomen are universally unpopular , even in their own districts.
Before this incident Speaker Pelosi was trying to handle an insurrection in her own party, resulting from comments made by these 4 women.
I doubt very much if Trump made these comments off the cuff. They were planned to elicit a Democratic response backing these women and to associate
the Democratic Party with the attitudes and policies of the far left
the vast majority of what these four women have said is 100% true. that it makes people uncomfortable is just too damn bad. it's highly amusing that Trump can flat out lie about everything from the economy to his own height and weight, and yet that's absolutely fine, even when his lies are incendiary. these women tell the truth about capitalism and all manner of other issues (do note that much of what Omar says about the undue influence of the Israel lobby on US politics is unequivocally true) and yet they're demonized by a party (the GOP) which, let's face it, is nothing more than a religious personality cult that is now spreading and perpetuating a truly abhorrent, xenophobic message that has no place in any modern society, let alone a multicultural society like the US. hell, even Boris Johnson called Trump's latest insanity totally unacceptable. the bottom line is, capitalism has created vast inequality and Trump's base is, in many cases, a victim of capitalism, not a beneficiary. just take a look at one of his rallies or look at the education profile of his supporters. they are the people that AOC's policies would help, for God's sakes. How can you (or anybody else for that matter), not see that? Pelosi needs to resign. point, blank period. she's been an abject failure this time around. these women are the future of the party. Pelosi is a relic and she looks more and more hapless by the day. and you don't have to be AOC or Ilhan to know it. Just ask Jerry Nadler. He'll tell you the same thing. finally, the reason for the "unpopular" bit is because Americans are, in general, too stupid to understand the policies and so blind to the fact that capitalism is the reason they have to work two jobs to survive. Americans are brainwashed.
I would also add that they can't be too damn unpopular, considering two of them are literal celebrities. those polls ask leading questions that are clearly distorting the results, and that's assuming you believe them in the first place, which is probably a dubious proposition. it's funny that Trump would cite internal party polls and/or public polls when denigrating AOC considering he last month fired his own internal pollsters because they showed him losing to literally all of the top 5 Democratic presidential candidates. just today, he complained about the public polls on Twitter (go read his tweets). and yet somehow, those same polls (and polling methods) are totally worth his time to cite when it comes to his rivals. How, exactly, do you square that circle? I guess that's like how the stock market was "a big fat ugly bubble" under Obama and Yellen was "doing political things", but now, a stock market bubble inflated by a Fed that's being encouraged to adopt an openly/explicit political mandate is just fine since he's president. or how, the very same BLS jobs market data was "fake" under Obama, but now that same BLS data is very real because he's President.
radioman says:
ummm….they were elected, in their own district. You have a problem with that| and their voters?
They have 4 votes in the House.
That fact that they are a pain in the ass for Pelosi is her problem.
Of course Trump, the master persuader took advantage of the rookies.
Harvey Darrow Cotton says:
There was an Axios poll of 1,000 whites with two years or less of college education. Among that arbitrary sample, leaked by anonymous Democrats, Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocosio-Cortez had very low levels of support. Okay. How was that determined? What were the questions asked? What was the methodology? Who knows. But I do know whites with less than two years of college education do not accurately represent the four districts A.O.C., Omar, Pressley, and Tlaib won. I know The Washington Examiner and The Blaze are the two outfits trumpeting the results of this poll the hardest. I know that whites with two years or less of college education are, basically, Trump's base.
If you have polling showing their level of support in their districts, do please share. Citation, please. The fact that these four women are Justice Democrats who do not take corporate PAC money, eschew traditional pollsters, big money donors, and consultants has NOTHING to do with the Trump / Pelosi coordinated attack, but please source and verify instead of regurgitating headlines.
yeah, that Axios story is what i was talking about. somebody in the Democratic party leaked that on purpose with all kinds of malice. and my contention continues to be that when all of the questions about AOC are framed in terms of "Do you like socialism" or "Do you have a favorable view of capitalism", etc. etc., of course the results are going to look bad for AOC.
what might be better is to ask the questions like Bernie asks them when he's talking to hostile voters. Like: "Who here would like free health insurance?" And "Who here would be willing to pay XYZ more % on their taxes if it meant that you paid nothing for health insurance and your kids got free college?" Etc. etc.
it's all in how you ask the questions and, to me, it seems like her own party is trying to sabotage her
but my overarching point with AOC and Omar and Tlaib and Pressley is that they are genuine (or at least as far as anyone knows right now they are). they want to help and they believe in what they're saying. it's pretty clear they would give anybody the shirts off their backs. The GOP, on the other hand, is the opposite of that. They are disingenuous and self-interested. That was tolerable right up until they gave up fiscal responsibility (which they were never really interested in anyway, only when it suited them) and then, most recently, sold their souls to a reality TV show host. now, the GOP is pretty clearly irredeemable. i mean, Republicans are now ballooning the deficit, running up the national debt, demanding more monetary easing, subsidizing domestic industries (which, ironically, is kinda, sorta communist-ish) and arguing against free trade. i don't see what there is to like with the GOP anymore. there's no there there, so to speak
Rcohn says:
Stalin and Maduro were/are also very genuine and may I add very effective.
BOTH parties are fiscally highly irresponsible and have been so for years.And we have hardly had free trade,;much more like corporate managed trade , which has sent millions of jobs overseas while massively increasing their profit margins.
You very well may be correct that there is little to like with the GOP today, so let's look at California , where the Democrats control the governor , both state houses and most towns and cities.
Probably the largest inequality of wealth in the country. Housing prices so high that pods are being built to rent for $1,200/ month and dormitories for public school teachers are being proposed.
A hypocritical attitude of those most affluent in backing immigration and housing for the homeless , while also having strong NIMBY.
All major cities are sanctuary cities , which has chosen to selectively not enforce Federal laws, while at the same time gladly accepting Federal monies.
Highways of 8 lanes each way where rush hour can easily last 5 hours.Why is there such horrendous traffic?
Simple, too many people and cars.
Outbreaks of medieval diseases due to overcrowding and lack of insect and rodent control , yet encouragement of more and and more immigration.
Feces maps in SF due to a housing problem , closing of mental institutions and distribution of free needles.
The decision to make crimes such as breaking into cars and petty theft into misdemeanors with no penalty of jail.
The encouragement of LGBT lifestyles by teaching them in public schools.Many people like me feel that LGBT citizens should have the same rights as everyone else , yet abhor the teaching of such lifestyles in the public school.
More and more parts of LA are almost to the point of being uninhabitable because of overcrowding, yet many Democrats are encouraging policies which are tantamount to open borders.
State gas taxes at the second highest in the country and the top income tax rate in the country.Motor vehicles fees the highest in the country.
If you think that the Republicans are incompetent ,corrupt and dishonest , you probably are right , but I would argue that California is the model for Democratic control. Watch out what you wish for!
Bob says:
It reminds me of a time I was called by a pollster and asked if I would answer a few political questions. I asked if the questions were going to be leading questions that would skew the results. He chuckled and said I guess that is a no.
Harvey Darrow Cotton says:
Democrats rather lose to Republicans than win being led by Progressives. The Pelosis and Schumers of the world are literally paid losers. They are selected by the donor class to be weak and accommodating to Republicans. If Democrats lose, the pollsters and consultants still get paid. If Bernie Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, etc. win, the gravy train stops. They are financed by small donors, and have to follow the needs of their constituents (gasp!). If the Establishment Democrats are not broken and Trump wins a second or third term, a split will come.
monkfelonious says:
It's clear to me that demographics are gonna take care of this. Me, boomer, is on the glide path to irrelevance. We are the dildo generation; fake. Our descendants know this and are becoming armed.
Fritz Perls (of Gestalt fame) said it best – "we get what we resist."

"Hello Andy, our Document Management System isn't working correctly."
"OK, let me remote in and take a look. Can you allow me to connect?"
I connected to the user's PC, looked at the data, and took a deep breath… All of their files, regardless of file type, now ended in ".adobe".
Upon further inspection, I found evidence of a ransomware attack. The first thing I asked about was their backups. Unfortunately, their backup system used "live" storage i.e.: Their backup media was always attached to the infected server. You guessed it, their backups were compromised as well.
I scanned each computer on their network, cleaning up anything I found. None of the computers caused the problem. I connected to each of the virtual servers and discovered that one of the servers had RDP open and someone was connected. I found the problem!
Long story short:
- Make sure you don't have the ability to remote into your computers enabled. If you trust someone, allow them to remote
in toyour computer only when you give permission.
- Make sure that your backup media is disconnected after your data is backed up, or use an online cloud-based backup service.
- Make sure you are using effective passwords (see this article).
If you want to protect yourself and/or your business against ransomware, please give us a call: 936.559.7797
