Last month I conducted a series of workshops at a brace cooperative houses in Austin TX. While there I got into an interesting conversation with folks about the pros and cons of open membership (where anyone can join if their rent check clears). I want to share the highlights of that exchange.
The Bright Side of Open Membership
a. This resonates with those who dream of a society where everyone is treated equally—which is definitely different than the society we have. If we're committed to diversity as a core value, isn't this what it means?
b. Who are we to judge others, anyway?
c. If I have trouble living with someone else, it may say as much about my flaws as theirs. If so, aren't I better off facing it than avoiding it?
d. If we commit to personal growth, then open membership leads to hybrid vigor, and serves as a prophylactic against stultification.
e. It's simpler—there's nothing to do but take who comes. It neatly avoids potentially awkward and challenging conversations about the perceived faults of prospectives. Whew.
f. Being selective about membership smacks of privilege and self-righteousness, and can all too easily be used as a glib justification for sustaining oppression. Yuck.
g. It reinforces us/them dynamics—a major pothole on the road to world peace.
The Dark Side
1. Not everyone drawn to community has the skills to do it well, and it's far cheaper to weed out bad apples at the start.
2. Not everyone can live together. Open membership more or less guarantees that you'll eventually encounter the limits of what that means—and it's no fun once you're there. Yes, point e) above means you can save time on the front end by not being selective, but you pay on the back end when the problem you avoided in the beginning is much more painful and difficult to address. In short, it's a poor bargain.
3. Community does not tend to attract people who have an appetite for dealing with conflict, yet open membership significantly increases the frequency with which you'll encounter it. Is that a good idea?
4. Over the course of my 40 years of community living and working with more than 100 intentional communities, I have witnessed a handful of times when groups with open membership have struggled to rid themselves of troublesome members who seemed perfectly at peace with their difficult behavior (even to the point of witnessing the police physically hauling out a deadbeat who wouldn't pay their rent). Each time it was incredibly expensive in terms of time and energy to navigate the extraction.
If you think about it, you can't actually live at either end of the diversity spectrum. On the closed end, it's impossible to avoid some level of diversity no matter how homogenous a membership group you desire (after all, we're not clones). On the open end, you can't be all things to all people. You'll have to face the reality world limits of how much diversity you can support. You'll have to make choices about what to prioritize. Isn't it better to make these choices consciously, rather than have it determined by chance (where you accept whatever diversity knocks on your door until you're full)?
—Being a Little Bit Pregnant About Discrimination
Upon reflection, it's an exaggeration that open membership means no boundaries at all. For example, you'll probably insist that people pay their rent or HOA dues. If members become delinquent (there may be a grace period if you fall behind, but ultimately there's a hard stop) they are booted out. Further, there are probably some baseline prohibitions, such as no illegal activity, or no violent behavior. Depending on the severity of the risk, the offending member may be given a warning and a second chance, but eventually they'll be asked to leave if they don't bring their behavior in line with acceptable community norms.
So where's the line? What kind of discernment makes sense?
Because communities, at root, are trying to create and sustain cooperative culture, I believe it's appropriate to screen prospective members for the skills needed to make that work. In my experience (30+ years of helping cooperative groups navigate their dreck) it's clear that groups cannot tolerate many non-cooperative members and still have a positive experience. Even one can be a nightmare.
How Elitist Is This?
Good question. I think there remains plenty of room for a robust response to those committed to diversity and wanting to tackle issues of oppression and privilege, such as:
• Working constructively with passion and emotional expression
• Welcoming non-rational communication styles
• Doing the work to understand what it will take to attract desirable under-represented populations, which might include a focus on race, class, ethnicity, mental health, or people with disabilities, to name a few.
If the group is paralyzed by an inability to work through differences—because the it lacks sufficient communication skills to do so—you aren't going to be an attractive group and you aren't going to be particularly inspiring, either as a model of social change or in whatever work you do. Let me be clear: I am not suggesting that groups select for people who are meek or mild-mannered, or who won't raise issues. Rather, I am saying it's OK to discriminate against people who are stuck in their viewpoint and refuse to consider any other.
I say, let the non-cooperative folks duke it out amongst themselves. I don't have time for that shit.

Jump up ^ Mooney, Chris; Mufson, Steven (19 December 2017). "Why the bitcoin craze is using up so much energy". The Washington Post. Archived from the original on 9 January 2018. Retrieved 11 January 2018. several experts told The Washington Post that bitcoin probably uses as much as 1 to 4 gigawatts, or billion watts, of electricity, roughly the output of one to three nuclear reactors.
Nakamoto is estimated to have mined one million bitcoins[26] before disappearing in 2010, when he handed the network alert key and control of the code repository over to Gavin Andresen. Andresen later became lead developer at the Bitcoin Foundation.[27][28] Andresen then sought to decentralize control. This left opportunity for controversy to develop over the future development path of bitcoin.[29][28]
An ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) is a microchip designed for a special application, such as a particular kind of transmission protocol or a hand-held computer. An ASIC is a chip designed specifically to do only one task. Unlike FPGAs, an ASIC cannot be repurposed to perform other tasks. An ASIC designed to mine Bitcoins can only mine Bitcoins and will only ever mine Bitcoins. The inflexibility of an ASIC is offset by the fact that it offers a 100x increase in hashing power compared to the CPU and GPUs, while reducing power consumption compared to all the previous technologies.
Beyond this great security feature, this new hardware wallet comes with a bevy of other features that either improve its overall security or extend its use beyond just storing your Bitcoins. Foremost amongst these features is the ability to create a secondary "hidden" wallet: marketed as "Plausible Deniability" by the manufacturer. The main idea here being that should store most of your assets in one less accessible wallet and the rest of them in the more visible one. If for some reason the more visible wallet is compromised, the hidden wallet and your main resources stay intact. With the aid of the micro SD card, you can regain access to them later.
Mobile wallets overcome the handicap of desktop wallets, as the latter are fixed in one place. These take the form of paid apps on youOnce you run the app on your smartphone, the wallet can carry out the same functions as a desktop wallet, and help you pay directly from your mobile from anywhere. Thus a mobile wallet facilitates in making payments in physical stores by using "touch-to-pay" via NFC scanning a QR code. Bitcoin Wallet, Hive Android and Mycelium Bitcoin Wallet are few of the mobile wallets. Bitcoin wallets do not generally work on both iOS and Android systems. It's advisable to research your preferred mobile Bitcoin wallet as several malware softwares posing as Bitcoin wallets can be
Although there are no guarantees that Bitcoin will continue to rise in value, the future does look bright for this exciting cryptocurrency. Unlike leveraged instruments, you can rest assured that your exposure to Bitcoin is limited to what you pay for it. (This does not apply to Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency derivatives that may be leveraged or shorted).
According to The New York Times, libertarians and anarchists were attracted to the idea. Early bitcoin supporter Roger Ver said: "At first, almost everyone who got involved did so for philosophical reasons. We saw bitcoin as a great idea, as a way to separate money from the state."[119] The Economist describes bitcoin as "a techno-anarchist project to create an online version of cash, a way for people to transact without the possibility of interference from malicious governments or banks".[122]
In Charles Stross' 2013 science fiction novel, Neptune's Brood, the universal interstellar payment system is known as "bitcoin" and operates using cryptography.[235] Stross later blogged that the reference was intentional, saying "I wrote Neptune's Brood in 2011. Bitcoin was obscure back then, and I figured had just enough name recognition to be a useful term for an interstellar currency: it'd clue people in that it was a networked digital currency."[236]
Because the reward for mining blocks is so high (currently at 12.5 BTC), the competition to win that reward is also fierce among miners. At any moment, hundreds of thousands of supercomputers all around the world are competing to mine the next block and win that reward. In fact, according to howmuch.com, " the total power of all the computers mining Bitcoin is over 1000 times more powerful than the world's top 500 supercomputers combined".
The rise in the value of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in recent years has made cryptocurrency mining a lucrative activity. Cryptocurrency mining uses computing power to compete against other computers to solve complex math problems, with that effort rewarded with bits of cryptocurrencies. That computing power helps create a distributed, secure and transparent network ledger — commonly known as a blockchain — on which applications such as bitcoin can be built.
Bitmain acquired this mining facility in Inner Mongolia a couple years ago and has turned it into one of the most powerful money factories on the Bitcoin network. It quite literally metabolizes electricity into money. By my own calculations, the hardware on the grounds—some 21,000 computers—accounted for about 4 percent of all the computing power in the Bitcoin network when I visited.
Before even starting out with Bitcoin mining, you need to do your due diligence. The best way to do this, as we've discussed, is through the use of a Bitcoin mining calculator. Bear in mind that mining costs money! If you don't have a few thousand dollars to spare on the right miner, and if you don't have access to cheap electricity, mining Bitcoin might not be for you.
In parts of the basin, utility crews now actively hunt unpermitted miners, in a manner not unlike the way police look for indoor cannabis farms. The biggest giveaway, Stoll says, is a sustained jump in power use. But crews have learned to look, and listen, for other telltales, such as "fans that are exhausting out of the garage or a bedroom." In any given week, the utility flushes out two to five suspected miners, Stoll says. Some come clean. They pay for permits and the often-substantial wiring upgrades, or they quit. But others quietly move their servers to another residential location and plug back in. "It's a bit of a cat-and-mouse game," Stoll admits.
Due to the widespread proliferation of the internet and mobile devices, more people in the developing world now have access to web services. It therefore follows that the number of Bitcoin users should increase as a result. Citizens who find it inconvenient to access traditional banking services will seek out virtual systems such as Bitcoin, and as internet usage increases within the developing world, one can only predict that the adoption of Bitcoin (and cryptocurrencies generally) will go viral.
Skipping over the technical details, finding a block most closely resembles a type of network lottery. For each attempt to try and find a new block, which is basically a random guess for a lucky number, a miner has to spend a tiny amount of energy. Most of the attempts fail and a miner will have wasted that energy. Only once about every ten minutes will a miner somewhere succeed and thus add a new block to the blockchain.
Though transaction fees are optional, miners can choose which transactions to process and prioritize those that pay higher fees.[67] Miners may choose transactions based on the fee paid relative to their storage size, not the absolute amount of money paid as a fee. These fees are generally measured in satoshis per byte (sat/b). The size of transactions is dependent on the number of inputs used to create the transaction, and the number of outputs.[3]:ch. 8

Welcome to the Transgender portal
Transgender people have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from their assigned sex. Transgender people are sometimes called transsexual if they desire medical assistance to transition from one sex to another. Transgender is also an umbrella term: in addition to including people whose gender identity is the opposite of their assigned sex (trans men and trans women), it may include people who are not exclusively masculine or feminine (people who are genderqueer or non-binary, including bigender, pangender, genderfluid, or agender). Other definitions of transgender also include people who belong to a third gender, or else conceptualize transgender people as a third gender. Infrequently, the term transgender is defined very broadly to include cross-dressers, regardless of their gender identity.
Being transgender is independent of sexual orientation: transgender people may identify as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, or may decline to label their sexual orientation. The term transgender is also distinguished from intersex, a term that describes people born with physical sex characteristics "that do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies". The counterpart of transgender is cisgender, which describes persons whose gender identity or expression matches their assigned sex.
The degree to which individuals feel genuine, authentic, and comfortable within their external appearance and accept their genuine identity has been called transgender congruence. Many transgender people experience gender dysphoria, and some seek medical treatments such as hormone replacement therapy, sex reassignment surgery, or psychotherapy. Not all transgender people desire these treatments, and some cannot undergo them for financial or medical reasons.
Most transgender people face discrimination in the workplace and in accessing public accommodations, and healthcare. In many places they are not legally protected from discrimination.
Selected article
Gender identity disorder (GID) is the formal diagnosis used by psychologists and physicians to describe persons who experience significant gender dysphoria (discontent with the biological sex they were born with). It is a psychiatric classification and describes the attributes related to transsexuality, transgender identity, and transvestism. It is the diagnostic classification most commonly applied to transsexuals.

Random quote
Having an opinion about transsexuality is about as useful as having an opinion on blindness. You can think whatever you like about it, but in the end, your friend is still blind and surely deserves to see.
Selected biography
Harisu (Hangul: 하리수) is the stage name of Lee Kyung-eun (born Lee Kyung-yup, February 17, 1975), a transgender pop singer, model and actress from South Korea. Born male, she identified as female from early childhood, and underwent sex reassignment surgery in the 1990s. She is noted for being South Korea's first transgender entertainer, and in 2002 became only the second person in Korea to legally change their gender. Her stage name is an adaptation of the English phrase "hot issue".

Provable Security
Leading insight and applications from AWS security experts on achieving provable security, the highest level of security assurance, in the cloud
AWS is committed to helping you achieve the highest levels of security in the cloud. Using automated reasoning technology, the application of mathematical logic to help answer critical questions about your infrastructure, AWS is able to detect entire classes of misconfigurations that could potentially expose vulnerable data. We call this provable security-absolute assurance in security of the cloud and in the cloud.
Find below the latest research and insights into key cloud security challenges of today and the future.

Data center security is a foundational component of security in the cloud. This insight paper describes steps we've taken to provide provable security of boot code, an essential step in establishing the security of any data center.
At AWS, the security and integrity of your data is our top priority, so we developed SideTrail, a program analysis tool that mathematically verifies the correctness of countermeasures in cryptographic code. Learn more in this insight paper.
A properly configured policy is a vital part of an organization's security posture. Policy misconfiguration is one of the leading security concerns of cloud customers. This insight paper dives into Zelkova, a policy analysis engine that can automatically detect entire classes of resource misconfigurations.
We describe formal verification of s2n, the open source TLS implementation used in numerous Amazon services. A key aspect of this proof infrastructure is continuous checking, to ensure that properties remain proven during the lifetime of the software. At each change to the code, proofs are automatically re-established with little to no interaction from the developers. We describe the proof itself and the technical decisions that enabled integration into development.
Learn how automated reasoning tools and methods within Amazon Web Services provide the highest levels of security assurance for the cloud. We also discuss potential future avenues of research and application.
This insight paper tells the high level of story of a technique that AWS security experts have used to prove the correctness of systems.
Developing a small but useful set of inputs for tests is challenging. We show that a domain-specific language backed by a constraint solver can help the programmer with this process. The solver can generate a set of test inputs and guarantee that each input is different from other inputs in a way that is useful for testing.

In an ever-growing cloud environment, scaling to a number of accounts can range in the thousands— where edge cases dominate your firm's spectrum and changes in your environment happen quickly. The Goldman Sachs cloud engineering team finds enforcement of best security practice as a growing concern. With developers managing infrastructure as code (IaC), learn how Goldman Sachs uses distributed serverless logging pipelines and leverages AWS formal verification tools to help enforce access policy in the process. In this session, we cover AWS Config, AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) as distributed infrastructure that can help catch security issues early and remediate those that happen unexpectedly.
AWS re:Invent 2018: The Theory and Math Behind Data Privacy and Security
Data privacy and security are top concerns for customers in the cloud. In this session, the AWS Automated Reasoning group shares the advanced technologies, rooted in mathematical proof, that help provide the highest levels of security assurance in today's data-driven world. The Automated Reasoning group co-presents with Bridgewater, a customer that has leveraged these technologies to help confirm that security requirements are being met, an assurance not previously available from conventional tools.

The Darlington Raceway and the Pee Dee Disaster Relief Fund partnered up during the 2010 race to raise $1,220 to help the victims recently affected by the string of severe weather.
The Pee Dee Disaster Relief Fund has been established by the Board of Trustees of the Eastern Carolina Community Foundation for long term support of disasters in the seven county Pee Dee region.
"We wanted to find a way to help the victims that had been affected by the recent tornados," said Chris Browning, Darlington Raceway President. "With the Pee Dee Disaster Relief Fund, we were able to collect money from our guests onsite at the SHOWTIME Southern 500 and all of those funds will be used locally to assist the families hit hardest by the tornados."
Raceday volunteers included Dr. Paul DeMarco, a member of the Board of Trustees for the community foundation, the pastor of First United Methodist Church in Marion, in addition to Boy Scouts and their parents from Troops 473 and 625 in Florence and Bennettsville.

The greater the sum of the death benefit, the higher the premium you will certainly disburse. To obtain a sufficient quantity of protection at the most effective feasible cost, you should examine your survivor benefit needs based upon a reasonable standard.
Living insurance policy protection is something that could absolutely be for your own advantage if you are someone who truly wants it. As a good number of us are aware concerning, there are truly a great deal of different sort of policies and also offers when it involves insurance policies thus it would genuinely assist if you obtain some expert assistance before you also use anything.
If you have a life insurance protection disagreement the initial point you ought to do is very carefully explore the policy as well as attempt to choose if the firm has an authorized point or if they are actually looking for a technicality to prevent paying an insurance claim. If you believe that you are being aggrieved you can file a complaint with your state's Division of Insurance coverage and also you might also have to search for authorized guidance to rectify the scenario. Your states Department of Insurance coverage has several resources that can aid you or a minimum of factor you in the right instructions to obtain assistance resolving your disagreement.
There are a lot of companies selling life guarantee in the UK so it can be challenging to discover and also understand all the guarantee related terms as well as to make certain that you have picked the best item for your circumstances. Nevertheless you will certainly wish to make sure that the cover that you have picked is adequate to cover your liked ones need to the even worse occur to you, it's important to get that item of mind.
The life assurance products readily available vary in prices, investment performance as well as thinking about the prices and costs involved in addition to fully recognizing the fine print. To avoid this predicament and ensure you purchase the best life assurance for you then it is advised you consult with a specialist for independent recommendations which would certainly come in the type of an independent financial advisor (IFA).
An IFA could discuss the products offered to you from the massive range of firms supplying life guarantee in the UK. They will certainly be able to discuss the distinctions between the products break down the jargon and also describe plans in merely terms in addition to the fine print to watch out for so you understand precisely what you will be obtaining from a plan.
There are several IFAs throughout the nation, some helping themselves and also others with firms.

You'll wish to have that piece of mind that your cash has been spent intelligently.
Life cover or life insurance policy cover is not the most convenient based on browse. This is due to all the different sorts of plans available as well as all the various terms you should ensure prior to you buy a policy. However life cover is absolutely needed since unlike various other kinds of insurance policy which covers an occasion which could never take place, most of us know that one way or another we are mosting likely to die or obtain ill. Nobody likes to think about it, although passing away is as all-natural as breathing as well as will pertain to all of us. Currently the inquiry is are you prepared? Now certainly you won't require loan when you overlook to the opposite- as a fashion of speaking- however exactly what about individuals you have left?
Funerals much like wedding events have actually ended up being a pricey company, and also the economic ramifications could be a lot bigger than expected. Besides the real burial costs, there is likewise the discussion of whether your family will have the ability to maintain themselves, without your earnings.
If you are the income producer in your family, or perhaps if you and also your partner share the prices 50/50, your companion as well as your family have concerned depend on your regular monthly income to pay for living costs. What will take place if to them if you are no longer around? Just how will they cope?
Now a comedian would possibly respond, 'Deal? They should consider themselves lucky they are still to life!' yet all of us recognize that it is the ones left that need to suffer the most. The sorrow of their loss, the preparation of a funeral service as well as all the expenses, they will be left to cover.
This is where life cover is available in handy. Life cover is about making certain that for a monthly costs, your family members will be covered in the event of your passing. This cash could be utilized to pay for your funeral, and also the expenses of running your residence, or simply leaving an amount of loan as an inheritance for those you left behind.
If there are people who depend upon you economically, you'll most likely should take into consideration life cover. Life cover is an insurance coverage strategy that will pay a cash money sum in the event of your death throughout the cover term (the size of time you select the cover to run for). It also pays a money amount on the medical diagnosis of a terminal ailment where there is a life span of much less than twelve months. Your insurance company might have restrictions on how near to the end of the cover term this medical diagnosis could be.
In the unfortunate event of your death, your household will obtain a lump sum inning accordance with the conditions of your plan. Depending on the degree of cover you arrange, this cash amount could be made use of to pay outstanding debts, such as a home loan or charge card. The money amount could additionally give financial safety for your family and also dependents into the future.
As you look into life cover, you will quickly discover that the majority of insurance providers use two sort of life insurance: degree cover as well as decreasing cover. Degree cover would certainly pay a cash money sum that remains the exact same throughout the cover term. Lowering cover is a money sum paid that lowers over the term, this kind of cover is usually used as security for a home loan therefore typically decreases in line with the impressive amount of your financing.
You can likewise choose in between single life, which covers just someone, and joint life, which covers versus something happening to either you or to the various other proprietor; that can be your spouse, civil companion or one more individual you have actually picked joint cover with.

Gramophone Recording of the Month: David Fanning Is Astonished by Igor Levit's Latest Three-Disc Offering, Which Presents the Foremost Variation Sets of the 18th, 19th and 20th Centuries-Three Themes, 99 Variations
[G] Igor Levit
JS Bach Goldberg Variations, BWV988 Beethoven Variations on a Waltz by Anton Diabelli, Op 120 Rzewski The People United Will Never Be Defeated!
Igor Levit pf
Sony Classical (B)(3) 88875 06096-2 (3h 13' * DDD)
Igor Levit's late Beethoven sonatas (11/13) and Bach Partitas (10/14) on Sony Classical have already made bold declarations of his pianistic and artistic prowess. Now he confirms his appetite for the big entrance with three monuments to variation form, each rooted in its own century, yet all united by the harnessing of maximum variety, maximum discipline.
Levit will be stuck for some years to come with the epithets 'young' and 'Russian-born, German-trained/domiciled'. But the instant he touches the piano such information becomes irrelevant. Certainly he can muster all the athleticism, velocity and finesse of a competition winner ready to burst on to the international scene. But like the rarest of that breed--a Perahia, say--his playing already has a far-seeing quality that raises him to the status of the thinking virtuoso. There is, if you care to rationalise, a Russian depth of sound and eloquence of phrasing, tempered by Germanic intellectual grasp. There is also a sense of exulting in technical prowess and energy. But not once in the course of these three themes and 99 variations did I feel that such qualities were being self-consciously underlined. Levit's musical personality is as integrated and mature as his technique. And both of these are placed at the service of the music's glory rather than his own.
Which brings me back to the concept of the three-CD set. Now 77, and so far as I know still going strong both as composer and pianist, Frederic Rzewski can hardly complain at daunting comparisons with Bach and Beethoven, since his variation set The People United Will Never Be Defeated! so conspicuously invite them. And whatever one's attitude to the early-1970s counter-cultural ideology of the piece, its attempt to fuse that ideology with high-flown classical difficulty, or its occasional nods to 'extended' techniques of the time (including some whistling and shouting), it needs to stand on its own feet if it is not to go down in history as a mere folly. Getting to know the work through its dedicatee and first performer Ursula Oppens (a Vanguard LP of 1976), I confess I couldn't get past the opening few variations before feeling that the concept was more interesting than the realisation and that the militancy of the original had been trivialised rather than enhanced. Rzewski's own recording exerted more of a spell, despite indifferent piano sound. In 1999 Marc-Andre Hamelin raised the virtuoso bar a few notches higher, and by virtue of that fact alone the whole experience became more compelling. But now Levit has gone a stage further, with an even wider range of colour and attack, plus an almost tangible sense of mission, which together help to paper over the cracks in the musical invention and make me, for one, attend to Rzewski's righteous fury and flights of fancy with new respect. Levit's 'Improvisation' (an option allowed by the composer before the final reappearance of the theme) has a summative power that surpasses even Hamelin. …

You'll face different potential emergencies in different conditions and during different activities. For example, you aren't likely to suffer a sprained ankle while kayaking across a bay, but you may suffer from a jellyfish sting. Accordingly, a pain-relieving gel would be more helpful than an ace bandage in your first aid kit. Additionally, you may need a tick-removal kit if your travels take you through a forest, but you'll find that a sunburn cream is more helpful while traveling through a desert.
Doomsday Preppers has received varied reviews. Neil Genzlinger in The New York Times condemned it as an "absurd excess on display and at what an easy target the prepper worldview is for ridicule," noting, "how offensively anti-life these shows are, full of contempt for humankind."[7] Nevertheless, "The program has been a ratings bonanza, with a 60-percent male audience, with an average age of 44."[8] "Doomsday Preppers is the network's most-watched series".[9] Brooklyn Bagwell, casting director for the second season, claimed it was the highest-rated show in the history of the National Geographic Channel.[10]
Generally speaking, the more outdoor experience you have, the fewer items you'll need in your survival kit. Those who are quite skilled at starting campfires may not need to bring matches and emergency tinder; as a simple fire starter will suffice. Similarly, experienced outdoor enthusiasts may elect to bring items like garbage bags, rather than ponchos, as they can be used for a variety of different purposes, which outdoor novices are unlikely to have mastered.
OK, so you have decided that you want to take steps to protect your family from unseen events. You may not know what events to plan for or you could have a much defined idea of the threats you see, but regardless you recognize a need. There are people who come to the Prepper Journal after they read something on another prepping blog or they may have been visiting our site for a year. The newer visitors are usually just getting starting in this crazy world of Prepping and if they are anything like I was at the beginning, knowing where to start can be pretty daunting. Prepping isn't the same for everyone but most people eventually look for a simple guideline to follow so I have pulled together this preppers list of supplies.
15. 20 cans of Soup or Broth. The beauty of canned soups and canned broth is that they are a budget friendly. Soups are an all-in-one meal solution. All you need is a can opener and a spoon and you have a meal ready to go. For an extra satisfying meal, try using a can of soup as part of the cooking water for your rice. Yummy! For a guide to making your own bone broth, see Donna's guide here.
And it's not all about dying, too: a nasty toothache or a debilitating allergy can make it very difficult to stay productive and alert. With all that in mind, my list of essential and easily available prepper medicines includes ibuprofen ($10, pain relief), cetirizine ($15, allergy management), amoxicillin ($15, broad-spectrum antibiotic), loperamide ($10, anti-diarrheal), meclizine ($7, prevents vomiting), miconazole nitrate ($10, treats fungal skin infections), bacitracin ointment ($5, bacterial skin infections), topical lidocaine ($20, anesthetic), and hydrocortisone cream ($6, anti-itch). For disinfecting your hands and cleaning wounds, benzalkonium chloride wipes ($4) can work pretty well; for burns, many people swear by hydrogel dressings ($5) or hydrogel creams ($13), too. Finally, for treating severe dehydration, try oral rehydration packs ($30).
One major upside of freeze-dried food is its convenience. Since all its water content has been removed—via a process that involves exposing food to subzero temperatures, while removing the resulting water vapor with a vacuum—it's easier than canned goods to transport on the fly. To "cook" Wise Company's six-grain Apple Cinnamon Cereal, you just boil three and a half cups of water, dump in the powdery contents of the bag (minus the oxygen absorber), and cover the pot for 12 to 15 minutes.
"Over the years I've found Jim's advice on his blog and other books to be sound, practical, and budget-friendly. This book continues that same down-to-earth tradition and is an enjoyable read. His writing style is pleasant and conversational, even when tackling difficult subjects, such as how deep to bury a corpse!" -- Lisa Bedford, The Survival Mom (TheSurvivalMom.com)
80. Antibiotics – the scary thing about an economic collapse will be the scarcity of antibiotics and prescription medicine. IF you're not a doctor/nurse and dont have access to such medicine, there are some alternatives. I've heard through the grapevine, some animal antibiotics use the same ingredients as the one for humans. One such product is Amoxfin fish antibiotic. An antibiotic for fish, just read some of the descriptions, they are quite hilarious! You could also go herbal using well known Dr. Christopher's infection product. I've used many of Dr. Christopher's herbal products for other issues and have been quite pleased!
Robert A. Johnson sees his peers' talk of fleeing as the symptom of a deeper crisis. At fifty-nine, Johnson has tousled silver hair and a soft-spoken, avuncular composure. He earned degrees in electrical engineering and economics at M.I.T., got a Ph.D. in economics at Princeton, and worked on Capitol Hill, before entering finance. He became a managing director at the hedge fund Soros Fund Management. In 2009, after the onset of the financial crisis, he was named head of a think tank, the Institute for New Economic Thinking.
How many mals can you get from a can of baked beans? You can get 14 servings from a pound of beans. Grains of all types can be cooked like rice hence a pound of grain can give you a weeks worth of meals. Plus you can grind them into flour and make bread or pasta, Beans and whole grain keep almost indefinatly but once ground or cooked (even canned) have alimited shelf life. Just a bit of humble advice.
For those who want bread with their meals, make tortillas , their is a product called Pioneer flour tortillas mix , my wife and I tested a bag of it by storing it in a cool dark cellar for ten years, then we opened it up to test to see if it was still good, my were we surprised, we checked for bugs in the flour, NONE what so ever. Then we made ten tortillas over an iron flat plate, one that can also be used on an open fire. We cooked them up and they were great. I could not believe it, neither could my mother in law , 80 yrs old at the time she thought they were good . What I came to find out later that the same flour mill that made that brand made also an even better tasting flour tortilla mix that is ready to go by just adding water, is called White Wings flour tortilla mix .
The helicopter eased down onto a lawn beside a putting green. The new luxury community will have three thousand acres of dunes and forestland, and seven miles of coastline, for just a hundred and twenty-five homes.

- The Padres have a "genuine interest" in acquiring J.T. Realmuto, while the Yankees aren't in serious talks with the Marlins about the All-Star catcher. Yankees GM Brian Cashman was quick to deny rumors about his team's interest in Realmuto last week, and New York already has Gary Sanchez behind the plate for the foreseeable future (though some rumors indicated that Sanchez would've gone back to Miami as part of a Realmuto swap). San Diego, meanwhile, has its own established catcher in defensive whiz Austin Hedges, plus one of the game's top prospects in Francisco Mejia behind the plate. It's fair to speculate if Mejia could potentially head back to the Marlins as part of a package for Realmuto, and the Padres certainly have the overall prospect depth that Miami is demanding for Realmuto's services. Since Realmuto is controlled only through the 2020 season, his acquisition would indicate that the Padres and GM A.J. Preller are perhaps ready to end their rebuilding process and begin to compete by at least 2020, if not even next season.
Marlins Rumors
Latest On J.T. Realmuto
- In other Mets news, the team continues to explore possibilities on the trade front, though some of their most high-profile options (both internal and external) don't seem to have much traction at the moment. Both Fancred Sports' Jon Heyman and SNY.tv's Andy Martino report that the Mets and Padres don't seem close on a possible Noah Syndergaard swap since San Diego refuses to include elite prospect Fernando Tatis Jr. in talks (not to mention some other top minor leaguers, as Heyman reported last week). On the acquisition front, Martino also notes that there doesn't seem to be much cooking between the Mets and the Marlins or Indians in respective talks about J.T. Realmuto or Corey Kluber.
- All eyes will be on J.T. Realmuto during the Winter Meetings, as MLB.com's Joe Frisaro provides a roundup of the trade speculation swirling around the Marlins catcher. Though at least 14 teams have expressed some type of interest in Realmuto, it doesn't seem as if any deal is close, as Miami is holding firm on very high trade demands for the All-Star. The Marlins are intent on adding quality young talent for Realmuto, and aren't willing to dilute their return just to get some more money off their books, Frisaro writes. This would seem to rule out a scenario where the Marlins try to attach a high-priced player like Martin Prado as part of a Realmuto trade.
Mets Unwilling To Trade Both Conforto, Nimmo For Realmuto
- Unsurprisingly, the Mets aren't willing to part with both Michael Conforto and Brandon Nimmo in a trade for Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto, Jon Heyman of Fancred reports. Moreover, the Mets don't want to trade young infielder Amed Rosario at all, Heyman adds. As great as Realmuto is, it wouldn't make sense for the Mets to trade Conforto and Nimmo – their most valuable outfielders – for two years of control over him. Conforto still has another three years of control left, while Nimmo has four more – including a pre-arb season in 2019.
Mets, Others Involved In J.T. Realmuto Market
TODAY: The Mets are "resistant" on including Rosario in a deal, per Jon Heyman of Fancred (via Twitter). It seems the Marlins have at least some level of interest, unsurprisingly, in Nimmo, Conforto, and Rosario.
All things considered, it does not appear at present as if the sides have settled upon a clear potential deal structure. There could well be other moving parts to getting something done. After all, the Mets would need to fill in for any departing MLB assets while the Marlins could conceivably involve a third team to spin off any acquired MLB pieces.
YESTERDAY, 8:32pm: The Mets have spoken to the Marlins and are at least considering the possibility of including Nimmo as a centerpiece in a Realmuto deal, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post. That said, Sherman cautions that there's no deal close and that the Marlins are still in talks with multiple other clubs.
However, whether that would be enough for the Mets remains to be seen. Jim Bowden of MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM tweets that the Marlins don't view Nimmo as a potential Realmuto centerpiece and would prefer Rosario or Conforto to headline a package of young players instead. That's at least somewhat curious, given the fact that Conforto has only one more season of club control remaining than Realmuto.
6:55pm: Mike Puma of the New York Post tweets that it's unlikely the Mets would include Conforto in a trade for Realmuto.
5:35pm: Trade chatter surrounding J.T. Realmuto will persist throughout the offseason following the definitive declaration that he won't be signing an extension with the Marlins. While the Marlins reportedly have a preference to trade Realmuto outside of the division, Andy Martino of SNY writes that the Mets are looking into Realmuto now that they officially have Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz on board. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, in fact, reports that the Mets reached out on Realmuto earlier today and are being "aggressive" in their pursuit (Twitter links).
Newsday's Tim Healey tweets that the belief is that the Mets would have to include at least one young Major Leaguer in order to pry Realmuto loose from Miami, and Rosenthal suggests the same. (The Mets subtracted a pair of high-end prospects from its system when trading outfielder Jarred Kelenic and right-hander Justin Dunn to Seattle in the Cano/Diaz swap.) Martino speculated that Amed Rosario's name could come into play, and Rosenthal adds both Brandon Nimmo and Michael Conforto as the type of talents that could pique Miami's interest. Of course, that doesn't mean that the Mets would have any actual interest in dealing from that promising young trio. More specifically Fancred's Jon Heyman tweets that Rosario and Nimmo would be Miami's top two targets in talks.
The Mets already tendered contracts to both Kevin Plawecki and Travis d'Arnaud, though either could be traded elsewhere or designated for assignment anyway, should the organization land an upgrade in the form of Realmuto. (Speculatively, either could also be sent back to Miami as a short-term stopgap in the absence of Realmuto.)
Elsewhere in the NL East (which, to this point, has been the runaway most active division in terms of offseason activity), Craig Mish of SiriusXM tweets that the Phillies have inquired on Realmuto but are considered to be a long shot. The Phils presently have Jorge Alfaro and Andrew Knapp as in-house catching options now that Wilson Ramos is a free agent, and they've been aggressive early this winter, already acquiring Jean Segura and James Pazos from the Mariners.
Mish also suggests that the Braves have inquired on Realmuto, although both David O'Brien of The Athletic and Heyman have tweeted otherwise. O'Brien indicates that he was somewhat bluntly told there's no validity to the report that Austin Riley and Mike Soroka have come up in discussions, while Heyman reports that the Braves haven't even engaged on any serious Realmuto talks this winter. O'Brien further adds that the Braves have shifted their focus to adding a corner outfielder and shoring up the pitching staff (Twitter links).
Looking outside the NL East, Jon Morosi of MLB.com tweets that the Rockies have checked in on the catcher — although talks between the two sides, to this point, have failed to progress. Colorado would make a perfectly logical landing spot, though, given that none of Chris Iannetta, Tony Wolters or Tom Murphy stands out as an obvious front-line option. The Rockies also have plenty of young pitching — much of it MLB-ready, which would surely be of interest to the Marlins as they continue to build for the future.
It's worth remembering, too, that the clubs here likely only represent a fraction of the market for Realmuto. Heyman notes that 14 teams have inquired with the Marlins about Realmuto this winter, and while clearly not all of those clubs will be particularly aggressive in their pursuit, the sheer volume underscores how many teams view the All-Star backstop as a potential difference maker. A trade isn't necessarily guaranteed, but it's likely that Realmuto's value is at its apex this winter. The Marlins surely know that their time with Realmuto is limited following comments from agent Jeff Berry and, per Mish, a pair of rejected extension offers of four and five years in length (both at prices that are nowhere near Realmuto's actual market value).
Marlins Announce Coaching Staff
The Marlins have announced their coaching staff under manager Don Mattingly. In addition to preexisting members, Mel Stottlemyre Jr. will serve as pitching coach, Trey Hillman will join as first base/infield coach, Jeff Livesey will become the assistant hitting coach, and Kevin Barr will run the club's strength and conditioning.
Stottlemyre comes over from the Mariners, who decided not to retain him after the 2018 season. He only briefly reached the bigs as a pitcher, but has spent most of the past decade in MLB dugouts. Stottlemyre served for three years as the Seattle pitching coach and has functioned as a pitching coach and bullpen coach with the Diamondbacks.
As for Hillman, whose hiring was reported yesterday by Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald (via Twitter), he has had a particularly interesting path. He has not only managed in the majors (with the Royals), but skippered championship clubs in Japan and (most recently) Korea. After taking the KBO crown last year with SK Wyverns, Hillman decided upon a stateside return.
Livesey was not retained by the Pirates as their assistant hitting coach after a five-year run, but lands the same post in Miami. Barr is best known for his long run with the Rays. Otherwise, the Fish will continue to rely on Tim Wallach as bench coach, Mike Pagliarulo as hitting coach, Fredi Gonzalez as third base coach, and Dean Treanor as bullpen coach.
Marlins Sign Pedro Alvarez, Dixon Machado, Deven Marrero To Minor League Contracts
The Marlins announced Monday that they've signed a slew of players to minor league contracts with invitations to Major League Spring Training. First baseman Pedro Alvarez and middle infielders Dixon Machado and Deven Marrero have the most recent MLB experience of the bunch. Left-hander Mike Kickham, right-hander R.J. Alvarez, infielder Jon Berti and outfielder Gabriel Guerrero all have big league experience as well. Miami also made its previously reported re-signing of catcher Bryan Holaday to a minor league contract official and revealed that prized outfield addition Victor Victor Mesa will participate in Major League Spring Training.
Alvarez, 32 in February, is the most recognizable name of the bunch. The former No. 2 overall draft pick and Pirates slugger has spent the past three seasons in the Orioles organization. "El Toro" swatted 22 homers and had a solid year at the plate — primarily as a platoon designated hitter. He returned to the O's on minor league pacts in each of the past two seasons but spent more time in Triple-A than in the Majors. Last year, Alvarez batted just .180/.283/.414 with eight homers in 127 Major League plate appearances and hit .243/.311/.446 with 16 homers in 305 Triple-A plate appearances. He'll give the Marlins another option to compete for playing time alongside Peter O'Brien and Garrett Cooper.
Machado, 26 (and of no relation to the free-agent market's more prominent Machado), appeared in 140 games with the Tigers from 2017-18. He's generally regarded as a quality up-the-middle defender but didn't provide enough hope with the bat to keep his roster spot in Detroit, even as the Tigers themselves are somewhat starved for middle-infield options. Machado batted just .229/.280/.303 in 414 PAs over the past two seasons, and he'll give the Miami organization a glove-first depth option.
Marrero fits a similar profile. The former Red Sox first round-pick (2012) has long drawn praise for his defensive prowess but has yet to find success at the plate in parts of three seasons with Boston and another in Arizona. In 343 MLB trips to the plate, Marrero has posted a woeful .197/.250/.283 slash with five homers, 10 doubles and 10 steals. He does have experience at three infield positions, so he'll join Machado in competing for a bench job in Miami this spring.
Kickham, soon to turn 30, will return to the Marlins organization after a solid minor league campaign in 2018. Through 42 innings (34 1/3 of which came in Triple-A), Kickham notched a 3.64 ERA with 8.1 K/9 against 1.5 BB/9. He hasn't been in the Majors since 2014 and has surrendered 37 earned runs in 30 1/3 frames as a big leaguer, but he's thrown well in the Miami minor league ranks since 2017.
R.J. Alvarez, 27, hasn't appeared in the Majors since 2015 and has a career 7.39 ERA through 28 innings at the game's top level. He's punched out 101 hitters through 88 2/3 innings with the Rangers' Triple-A club across the past two seasons, though he's done so while exhibiting questionable control (48 walks).
Berti, 29 next month, received a four-game cup of coffee with the Blue Jays late in 2018, which marked his MLB debut. He's struggled to a .593 OPS in 506 career PAs in Triple-A but posted much better numbers in Double-A. As with Machado and Marrero, he'll provide some infield depth.
Guerrero, 24, was once considered to be one of the Mariners' best prospects but has seen his production evaporate since reaching the Double-A level. The Reds gave him his first taste of the Majors in 2018, and he managed to connect on his first big league homer in a brief 14-game stint with Cincinnati. On the whole, though, he went 3-for-18 with eight strikeouts and no walks in his first MLB cup of coffee. There's certainly reason to believe that a player with Guerrero's bloodline can improve; he's the nephew of Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero and the cousin of Blue Jays uber-prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Beyond the aforementioned players, the Marlins also added catchers B.J. Lopez, Sharif Othman and Rodrigo Vigil to minor league contracts, as well as left-hander Brian Moran. None of that quartet has MLB experience, though each will have the opportunity to win a job in Spring Training, it seems. Lopez, Othman and Vigil were minor league free agents of the Marlins and each re-signed to return to the organization.
Cashman: Yankees Didn't Make Offer For Realmuto
- Cashman also said that recent reports about the Yankees' interest in J.T. Realmuto were "false, completely false," and that the team didn't make an offer to the Marlins about the All-Star catcher. According to Fancred's Jon Heyman, the Yankees were open to the idea of moving Gary Sanchez to Miami for Realmuto in something close to a one-for-one trade, though the Marlins wanted other significant pieces in addition to Sanchez.
Marlins Unwilling To Deal Realmuto Within NL East?
- The Mets were linked to Martin Maldonado in early November, though talks "haven't materialized" as of yet between the team and Maldonado's camp, the New York Post's Mike Puma writes. Catcher remains a position of need for the Mets, though they've already seen one trade target (Yan Gomes) get dealt to a division rival in Washington, while their impending trade of some top prospects in the Robinson Cano/Edwin Diaz deal could mean New York doesn't have the minor league depth to acquire J.T. Realmuto from the Marlins. Puma wonders if this means the Mets could circle back to Yasmani Grandal, another player that drew some early interest from the Amazins as the free agent market opened.
- In regards to Realmuto, the Mets and Phillies may not be realistic contenders for the catcher's services, as the New York Post's Joel Sherman hears from an official with the Nationals or Braves that "Miami is not trading him in the division." It had previously been surmised that the Marlins' huge asking price in a Realmuto trade was what turned D.C. and Atlanta to alternate catching solutions (i.e. Gomes, Kurt Suzuki, and Brian McCann), though it stands to reason that the Marlins could've wanted a particularly big premium in order to send Realmuto elsewhere in the NL West.
Marlins Wanted Ozzie Albies, More From Braves For J.T. Realmuto
- The Braves reunited with catcher Brian McCann in free agency Wednesday, giving them a decent behind-the-plate tandem with him and Tyler Flowers. Atlanta's not necessarily out of the sweepstakes for Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto, though, as Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported this week (subscription link). It appears Miami would need to significantly lower its asking price in order for Realmuto to join the NL East rival Braves, however. Per Rosenthal, the Marlins requested second baseman Ozzie Albies and more from the Braves in the teams' discussions. Unsurprisingly, the Braves haven't been willing to part with the 21-year-old Albies, who turned in a 3.8-fWAR rookie campaign in 2018 and is under wraps for the foreseeable future, for two seasons of control over Realmuto, 27.
East Notes: Realmuto, Yankees, Sanchez, Markakis, Rays
The market for star Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto seems to be reaching a fever pitch, with the Astros, Yankees, Dodgers, Mets and Giants among the latest teams to "show interest," says Fancred's Jon Heyman. The odds of an extension for the backstop seem infinitesimal at this juncture, with sources "suggesting" that the proposed figure was in range of the massive extension signed by Giants catcher Buster Posey prior to the start of the 2013 season. Whether or not the ask was mere posturing on the part of Realmuto, whose agent Jeff Berry seemed to make clear the 27-year-old's intentions on a radio show in late October, is unknown, but it seems a near certainty the Oklahoma-born product will be moved at some point this offseason.
In other news from around the region . . .
- Per Heyman, the Yankees seem to be willing to include Gary Sanchez in a deal for Realmuto, but only in something approximating a straight-up swap. Sanchez, who has four remaining years of team control to Realmuto's two, has turned off some admirers with his indifferent play behind the plate and propensity for the long slump, but is nevertheless an extremely valuable asset in today's desiccated offensive landscape behind the dish. Indeed, Steamer actually projects the 26-year-old Sanchez to be nearly as valuable next season as the elder Realmuto (3.5 WAR, to the latter's 3.7), pegging him for a 116 wRC+ to Realmuto's 108. It should be noted, too, that analytical models are far more bullish on Sanchez's much-maligned defense than the general public: DRS, after all, sees Sanchez as clearly superior to the Marlin star over the last three seasons, while Baseball Prospectus, though higher on Realmuto, mostly agrees, seeing the Dominican-born backstop as generally above-average over the same frame. The Marlins, though, seem to find the package insufficient without other "top pieces" involved, which scenario would almost surely be a non-starter for the Bombers.
- Outfielder Nick Markakis "remains a candidate" to return to Atlanta, and is a "more likely fit" than Michael Brantley, per Heyman. Markakis, a Georgia native, enjoyed a blissful '18 renaissance in the last year of his 4 year, $44MM deal signed prior the 2015 season, slashing .297/.366/.440 in hitter-friendly SunTrust Park on the way to 2.6 fWAR, his first two-win-plus season with the Braves. Atlanta, of course, continues its search for offensive upgrades even after the inking of Josh Donaldson to a one-year deal, but doesn't see outfielder A.J. Pollock as a likely target, according to Heyman. The 35-year-old Markakis, though, had posted five consecutive sub-.400 slugging percentage seasons before the last, and has never been a particularly nimble defender in a corner. Atlanta, at this point in the offseason, may be setting its sights a little higher in its dogged pursuit of an outfielder.
- Per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, the Rays are "considering high-end upgrades" across the diamond. Topkin lists Noah Syndergaard, Paul Goldschmidt, and Nelson Cruz, among others, as potential options, and notes that the team's monetary resources far outshine those of past seasons. The Rays, perhaps more than any other team, are rife with young talent, with logjams up the middle and on the corners, and have considerable prospect capital with which to deal, so multiple major upgrades cannot, at this point in the offseason, be ruled out.

MATERIAL. Use the form-board pictured on page 279. This may be
purchased of C. H. Stoelting & Co., Chicago, Illinois. A home-made one
will do as well if care is taken to get the dimensions exact.
Quarter-inch wood should be used. The inside of the frame should be
3 x 4 inches, and the dimensions of the blocks should be as follows:
1+3/16 x 3; 1 x 11/2; 1 x 23/4; 1 x 11/2; 11/4 x 2.
PROCEDURE. Place the frame on the table before the subject, the short
side nearest him. The blocks are placed in an irregular position on the
side of the frame away from the subject. Take care that the board with
the blocks in place is not exposed to view in advance of the experiment.
Say: "_I want you to put these blocks in this frame so that all the
space will be filled up. If you do it rightly they will all fit in and
there will be no space left over. Go ahead._"
Do not tell the subject to see how quickly he can do it. Say nothing
that would even suggest hurrying, for this tends to call forth the
trial-and-error procedure even with intelligent subjects.
SCORING. The test is passed if the child succeeds in fitting the blocks
into place _three times in a total time of five minutes for the three
The method of procedure is fully as important as the time, but is not so
easily scored in quantitative terms. Nevertheless, the examiner should
always take observations on the method employed, noting especially
any tendency to make and to repeat moves which lead to obvious
impossibilities; i.e., moves which leave a space obviously unfitted to
any of the remaining pieces. Some subjects repeat an absurd move many
times over; others make an absurd move, but promptly correct it; others,
and these are usually the bright ones, look far enough ahead to avoid
error altogether.
REMARKS. This test was devised by Professor Freeman, was adapted
slightly by Healy and Fernald, and was first standardized by
Dr. Kuhlmann. Miss Gertrude Hall has also standardized it, but on a
different procedure from that described above.
The test has a lower correlation with intelligence than most of the
other tests of the scale. Many bright children of 10-year intelligence
adopt the trial-and-error method and have little success, while retarded
older children of only 8-year intelligence sometimes succeed. Age, apart
from intelligence, seems to play an important part in determining the
nature of the performance. A favorable feature of the test, however, is
the fact that it makes no demand on language ability and that it brings
into play an aspect of intelligence which is relatively neglected by the
remainder of the scale. For this reason it is at least worth keeping as
an alternative test.
