Emperor Domitian was assassinated on this day in the year 96 CE at the age of 44. He reigned for 15 years, the longest imperial reign since Augustus and Tiberius, the first two Roman Emperors.
Domitian was condemned on his death to be forgotten by the Senate who hated him deeply. They passed a sentence of damnatio memoriae upon him, in an attempt to condemn him to oblivion. Their punishment largely worked. The writers of the day such as Suetonius, Tacitus and Pliny the younger recorded that he was an evil, cruel and paranoid tyrant. Until the modern era he was lumped in with the bad boys of the early empire such as Caligula and Nero.
Third and final ruler of the Flavian dynasty, who gave us the Coliseum and famously destroyed the Jewish Temple. Vespasian, his father, survived a close association with the emperor Nero when many of his compatriots lost their heads. After the fall of Nero he emerged as the winner in the year of the four emperors. Domitian, aged 17 was in Rome when hostilities broke out and was placed under house arrest by Vitellius, the runner up for Emperor of the year.
Vespasian ruled for ten years and died aged 69 from an illness that inflicted him with diarrhea. He was the first emperor to be succeed by his natural son, Titus. Since Titus was young, fit, healthy and already a renowned military commander it is thought that Domitian was not groomed for the top job. But Titus ruled for only two years before he too succumbed to a fever leaving his younger brother as Emperor.
Modern analysis of his reign, and by scouring sources not aligned to the Senate, paint a picture of a highly organized and autocratic ruler who was unsubtle in managing the pride of the senators. He was loved and revered by the public and by the common soldiery but hated by the Senate and the officers of the patrician class. He did not indulge in the usual game of according the Senate nominal authority and they hated him for it. His lack of training in this balancing act was his ultimate undoing, and he was assassinated by officials in his court, stabbed in the groin and a further seven times in the struggle that ensued. Domitian killed one of his assailants.
Domitian was further pilloried in the press in claims by the writer Eusebius in the 4th century that he persecuted Christians and Jews. Christians put him in the naughty emperor box along with Nero and Diocletian and painted graphic portrayals of him feeding martyrs to the lions. In fact the Flavians were highly tolerant of Eastern religions and the claims by Eusebius are possibly founded on lies that originate in the senatorial curse.
The atmosphere is clear for a reevaluation and a cleanup of the tarnished reputation of an Emperor who achieved much good in his reign and came to a sad and sorry end.

To Thomas Jefferson from William H. Cabell, 15 October 1807
Richmond Oct. 15. 1807
Your favor of the 12th. was received yesterday evening, and the course which it prescribes shall be strictly observed. I now forward you Major Newton's letters of the 8th. 9th. & 13th instant—It appears by the last that the British Ships of War have gone out of our waters—Tomorrow's mail will, I presume, enable us to ascertain whether this departure is temporary, as on a former occasion, or whether it is the result of measures adopted beyond the Atlantic—
I hope to be excused for the delay in forwarding the enclosed letters, when I inform you that I have experienced a severe domestic affliction in the loss of a child after a painful illness.
I have the honor to be with the highest respect, Sir yr. obt. St.

Is Canada's unregulated online hate propaganda targeting transgender people contributing to the 81% rise in crimes targeting transgender people in the UK?
Equal rights charity Stonewall estimated that two in five trans people had experienced a hate crime or incident in the past year.
Parents: "Jenn Smith has taken it upon himself…to organize public speaking events, where he goes from one community to the next, sharing his presentation to the public. The content of his presentation is misinformation, debunked pseudo-science, conspiracy theories, and a few of his own personal life experiences. Those of us who have LGBTQ2+ children and families consider his presentation dangerous because it incites hate, targeted at our kids and our families."
BC Liberals are discovering a problem with building their political movement's coalition around the demands of deeply social-conservative groups is that they can be intransigent and unrepresentative of the values the party really stands for. Count on them to make more messes.
On May 2 2019, conservative faith-based group Canadian Christian Lobby, the CCL, held a public talk entitled "The erosion of
No matter who they are or what they believe, people who incite discrimination on prohibited grounds are inciting others to break the law. This be stopped from doing it in a rented space.
Anti-transgender propaganda a modern version of a 'whites only' sign
We should accept everyone's declared sex and gender for two reasons. The ideal idea that anyone's biology is defined at conception is deeply flawed and in Canada's legal system the recognition of the sex or gender of others as different than at conception causes no negative consequence on anyone.
Even if Transgender themselves, a person who oppresses Trans people should not in my eyes be called a trans activist but a TERF or anti-trans activist.

Feature Writing for Digital Stories:
– Be objective. You are the narrator, not the main character.
– Write in third person. Do not use: I, you, we, our, etc.
– Write a lead that hooks the reader. Should be one sentence.
– Use quotes and attribute them. Start the sentence with the quote and then use said. Example: "This challenge is the real deal," Chiara said.
– Hyperlink if possible. Especially, if it will clear up confusion or gives more context.
– Use pull quotes. Don't use too many, but used sparingly, they can be effective in emphasizing key points.

Lutum Opens in Sunset Harbour
Lutum, the latest restaurant concept by El Grito partners Washington Charles and Antar Sosa, is coming to the Sunset Harbour neighborhood. The latin word for dirt and soil, Lutum promises to keep the food and cocktails simple and fresh.
To help execute their concept, Charles and Sosa have brought in Michael Mayta as Executive Chef. Mayta, whose background includes working with Miami's own James Beard award-winning chef, Michelle Bernstein, started as a prep cook at Michy's. In 2015, Chef Mayta opened Cena by Michy as Chef de Cuisine. Chef Michael Mayta has designed a menu that is centered around local and seasonal
"The inspiration behind the menu is simple: all things Miami – from local ingredients to dishes that are representative of the many cultures that live here – we're paying homage to the city we all call home," said Chef Mayta.
The cocktail program, much like the food menu, will focus on classic cocktails driven by seasonal and Florida fresh ingredients.
"Our vision was simple, make something dope," said Charles. "This is our first seated restaurant concept, so we're excited to open our doors and start serving locals and tourists alike," added Sosa.
Lutum is set to open Tuesday, August 8th for dinner service.
For more information on Lutum visit www.lutummiami.com. For questions regarding reservations or special events, please call (786) 773 – 3149 or email email@example.com.

Veza Sur Opens to the Public
After much anticipation, dedication and rounds of sampling beer (to perfect it, of course), VEZA SUR Brewing Co. is opening on August 19. Located on Northwest 25th Street in Wynwood, Miami's most creative neighborhood, VEZA SUR is a dynamic and unexpected collaboration bringing together West Coast vibes with Latin passion.
Offering Miami locals a welcoming hangout spot where they can enjoy quality craft beers in a fun and low-key atmosphere, VEZA SUR is Miami's newest destination for beer lovers. Serving as the craft beer brainchild of founding partners Berny Silberwasser of Bogota Beer Company, and Chris and Jeremy Cox of 10 Barrel Brewing Co., VEZA SUR is locally-made and is as diverse and dynamic as its stomping grounds, Miami.
Picture This:
Walk In – A vibrant and contemporary library filled with books, native plants and South American-inspired memorabilia behind a 40-foot bar made of reclaimed drift wood. Pull up a stool and knock back a refreshing brew from one of the 18 beers on tap – don't forget to checkout the VEZA SUR swag!
Keep Walking – The inside flows to the outside – no dividers. Take a peek at the brewhouse and tanks, chat with our brewmaster, Asbjorn, and enjoy an ice-cold beer. The scent of fresh brew aromas lingering in the air underscored by groovy music playing in the background will make you think of VEZA SUR as your new home away from home.
Go Outside – Lush and chill green outdoor area made up of native plants that help save on water, plus a roof that protects you from the Miami summer sun. Graffiti on the wall reminds you that you're in Wynwood, but the Buttonwood Oak tree makes it feel like you're in a friend's backyard.
Sit Down – Hang out with friends, meet new people and order up. Choose from one of the Miami-made and flavorful beers, such as a Latin Lager, Session IPAs, Coffee Porter, and sessionable Sours, and throw back a Brazilian Chopp [schoh-pee] – an ice-cold lager with a refreshing foam that you can drink through – or surprise yourself with a beer cocktail developed in collaboration with the Bar Lab folks.

Introduction: Restoring Vintage Bicycle
4 years ago I bought a vintage Peugeot bicycle (it was made in 1975), I wasn't satisfied with its color, so I took it all off and painted the frame with black spray paint. So for 4 years I was riding my black bike, when one day came, when I thought to myself:"God, how awful my bike looks!", so I decided to completely restore my bicycle!
Unfortunately I was so busy with the work that I forgot to take pictures of the painting process, so this instructable is mostly about how I covered saddle and handle bar with leather!
Tools needed:
- Many different wrenches
- Sandpaper (both very low and very high grip)
- Pliers
- Screwdriver
- Needle
- Fan
- Pegs
- Spray paint
- Primer
- Leather
- Glue
- Duct tape
- Varnish
- Thread
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Taking Apart
I started with taking the bike apart, it was all easy until I got to bottom bracket, that was when all the problems started. First of all, it took me half an hour to take off both of the crank arms, they were holding really tight. It is important not to use metal hammers to take them off, in my case crank arms are made out of aluminum, and on impact from metal it breaks, so I used a piece of wood to hit them off!
When I took out the bottom bracket I wasn't able to take off that part that held the bracket in the frame. After an hour of hard work and many failures I finally did it, the bike was in pieces!
Step 2: Saddle
- First I soaked the leather in hot water for 15 minutes, then I started stretching the leather around the saddle.
- I didn't have clamps, so I used needle and thread, I started sewing it together as tight as possible
- Then I dried it using a fan and cut off the excess leather
- After a day, when the leather was dry, I put some glue on the saddle and stretched the leather around it
- Again I cut off the unnecessary leather, and, using pegs, I glued the strips of leather to the saddle.
Step 3: Handle Bar
For this you'll need long strips of leather.
Again, I soaked them in hot water for 15 minutes, and started to stretch the strips around the handle bar.
The leather that I used was quite thick, so I had to flatten it using wooden hammer.
After a day when the leather was dry, I glued the leather strips to the handle bar.
Step 4: Mistakes
When painting, I couldn't decide what to do. I wanted to color the connection parts both black and white. First I painted them black, but only then understood that white would be more suitable, because the green color was dark enough by itself!
I was too lazy to duct tape all of the connection parts again, so I simply painted them all green, and only a few parts I painted white. At the end the result was more than satisfying!
Also I tried the primer on the fork, but the primer wasn't compatible with the color, and the coat shattered, so I had to take it all off. After that I decided to leave it metallic!
Step 5: Result
From distance the bicycle looks nice :D but when looking closer there are some parts that don't satisfy me, however all in all, the bicycle looks awesome!
The paint cost me about 25 euros, all of the leather cost me about 6 euros!
It definitely was worth it, and for such a small price anyone could do it!

Another awesome result... great work!
you're instructables are awesome, you seem to like leather projects and can make them real cool!
Thanks again! Yeah, leather is a great material to work with!
Nice work.It has a classy and stylish look now. Did youget rid of your gear shifters?
Now you ride single gear?
Thanks! Yeah, I took, them off, as I always have used only one of the gears!
For those who want to try this, watch a Video on how to apply the handlebartape, you have to Start from the outside, not like it was done here!!!
I do know that it has to be put on starting from the outside but consider this:
1. This instructable shows how to make handlebar tape using real leather by yourself! Assuming that you know how thick real leather is, you should understand that by applying the tape in this way it both looks better, and the excess leather can be put in the holes at both ends of the handlebar!
2. One might think that if applied this way, the tape might come off or be uncomfortable, but I can assure that it is not any more or less comfortable than tape that is applied from the ends of the handlebar, and it definitely hasn't fallen off yet!
3. This is a optional guide, if somebody wants to do it this way, than he has all the rights to do it this way!
I must be getting really old! That bike looked like a fairly modern thin-wheel, banana-seat, gear shifted model. When I think "vinage" I envision something with fat tires, single speed (no gear shifting), and wide flared handle bars. But the Instructable is well done and easy to follow. Good work and a good project.
True, technically it doesn't seem so old, but it definitely looks old! Thanks!
Cool and vintage!
it makes me want to steal my father's bike! After, he will not recognize it ;)
Thanks for this instructable !
The leather work on the seat and handles is amazing!
Thank you!

I've heard this phrase over and over:
The Current Model for Healthcare is Not Sustainable?
It's especially prominent on social media and at conferences. Sometimes they change the word model to costs or some other related word. The message is clear. Healthcare is screwed up and people are pissed that it costs so much. On that I agree with them in many respects. However, I don't agree that the current model isn't sustainable. In fact, today I saw it and asked them why it wasn't sustainable.
No one could give me a good answer.
However, to be clear I clarified that I wasn't suggesting that we shouldn't try to change the current model and that we shouldn't try to stop the crazy healthcare cost curve. I also didn't argue with the dire consequences that will happen if we don't change healthcare from its current model. We should do all of those things.
It's one thing to argue that we could or should do something and quite another to say that the current trajectory is unsustainable.
Healthcare has been surprisingly good at sustaining all of its bad characteristics. In fact, in many ways the bad things in healthcare are actually incredibly profitable.
In response to my question about why the current model is not sustainable I got the following story:
I was behind a lady at CVS who decided not to get her meds because she needed to pay her electrical bill. This cannot be sustainable.
A sad story and no doubt there are hundreds more like it. It's heartbreaking to read and something we should work to fix. However, don't wait for the healthcare organizations to fix it. This gets a little twisted, but think it through. If that lady chooses not to take her meds, what happens? Does the doctor get paid less? No. Does the hospital get paid less? No. In fact, if she doesn't get her meds and gets really sick, the hospital is going to make a ton of money. (Yes, I know about value based care and hospital readmissions, but that's a small percentage of overall revenue).
I'm not suggesting that any healthcare provider goes around saying that patients shouldn't be compliant with their medications because it would be good for their hospital business. Even I'm not that cynical. However, if we were in any industry that's what we'd want people to do. However, in other industries if you chose not to get your medications you'd have a bad experience (ie. you'd get sicker) and then you'd want to use me less. Healthcare is the opposite. If you get sicker you use me more.
The reality is that healthcare is not a true market. Go and read Dan Munro's book Casino Healthcare to see what I mean. Healthcare is complex and it hides its issues behind that complexity.
I'm sure that some people reading this are going to offer up some pockets and small examples where this isn't true in healthcare. Great. We need more of that and soon. We need it because healthcare is costing our nation too much money. We need it because healthcare is costing businesses too much money. We need it because many people aren't getting the care they need because they can't afford it. We need it for a lot of reasons.
However, we don't need these changes because healthcare is going to collapse if we don't change. In fact, to paraphrase Dan Munro, most in healthcare are profiting from its dysfunction. That's why it's so hard to change. Sadly, I don't see anything that tells me we'll stop paying either. The current model is surprisingly resilient and sustainable.
Of course, that's not to say outside forces couldn't change things. They can and they should. Patients are paying way too much for healthcare and we should be pissed and push for change. Businesses are paying too much for healthcare and we should be pissed and push for change. Government pays more for healthcare than anyone else and they'are paying too much for it. They should be pissed and push for change.
Just don't expect providers or even payers to disrupt themselves. They're all enjoying a shockingly sustainable business model. IT can only do so much when it comes to solving the business model issues.

Keep in mind that American Indians could not become citizens of the United States until 1924, Dorgan said. The little bit of land they had left, and believe me it was just a little bit compared to what they had in the beginning, that little piece of land was sacred to them and they were willing to fight for that. Began his lecture with his interest in the Great War..
Governor results make me think this is too optimistic. Correct me if I wrong, but we lost decisively in AZ and TX, lost in IA and FL, squeaked by in Wisconsin. I agree that the clearest path to 270 in two years will be in winning back the rust belt and upper Midwest (MI / PA / WI and possibly IA), and I think that the pro voting ballot proposals and governor wins in some of those states will be to our advantage, but it not going to be easy.

"In through the out door. Further down. Below..."
Allie and Revik race against the clock, looking for the remaining names on a mysterious list of humans and seers meant to rebuild the world after the apocalypse––hopefully before Shadow kills them all. Meanwhile, a mysterious new player starts buying up List seers and humans on the black market faster than Revik and Allie can save them.
Whoever they are, they seem to have their own copy of the Lists, and while they don't appear to be killing them, more and more Listers disappear into Dubai, the most heavily guarded of Shadow's quarantine cities. Before Allie can decide her next move, another group appears, claiming to be loyal to her.
As Allie finds out more about this new group, however, everything in her world starts to unravel. Worse, the people closest to her seem to be turning against her, including––maybe especially––her own husband.
NOTE: An alternate version of this book was previously published as part of the "ALLIE'S WAR" series (this version has been heavily revised/edited prior to re-release).
Standalone novel. No cliffhanger.
PROPHET is book 8 in the Bridge & Sword series. It is also related to the Quentin Black World, and takes place in the wider history/world of the seers.
Next in the Bridge & Sword world: DRAGON (Bridge & Sword Series #9). Or if you'd like to read more about seers, check out BLACK IN WHITE (Quentin Black Mystery #1), which occurs in a version of Earth much closer to our own.
THE BRIDGE & SWORD WORLD is a dark, gritty science fiction and apocalyptic series with strong romantic elements, starring Alyson Taylor and her partner, dark and dangerous infiltrator, Dehgoies Revik. For fans of gritty, character-driven science fiction and fantasy worlds, filled with twists and turns and backstabbing betrayals, with heroes and villains who can be equally relatable (and sometimes the same people). The Bridge & Sword books span continents and historical periods as Allie and Revik try to save the human and seer races from destroying one another, and keep their friends and loved ones alive in the process.

The Last Full Measure of Devotion
It is the 145th anniversary of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. The address is one of the seminal statements of a free people declaring an allegiance to a democratic republic and the price citizens must pay to sustain it.
There was a time when all school children were tasked with memorizing the address verbatim. The politically precocious would accept the assignment and use it as an opportunity to hone oratorical skills and show off their intelligence with great theatricality. Many would reluctantly accept the assignment thinking it important only slightly more then resenting the task. Some would refuse to see the point entirely remaining happily content in a feigned ignorance of the responsibility of citizens wholly ambivalent to the grace liberty confers on free people.
Gettysburg is the battlefield where our still young republic met its greatest challenge. The terrible contest of political will and military might placed our beloved republic in grave danger of extinction. Many rose to its defense by offering their last full measure of devotion.
This devotion is worthy of our continued attention. Today our republic is being tested once more and soon more will be asked of everyone to reaffirm their devotion through sacrifice, hard work, patience, service and treasure. Gone are the days where we can demonstrate our patriotism by going to the mall and running up our credit balances. These times all will be called and like the school children from a bygone era some will take up the task with enthusiasm some will grudgingly comply and others will feign ignorance.
As we continue to fight two wars while struggling to extricate ourselves from a growing recession all are needed to bind the wounds of our politically divided country. All must step up and become engaged in some form to bear the burden of defending our freedoms by offering our allegiance, resolve and a will to sacrifice in service to our beloved republic.

Participatory Democracy
The Great Dictator
The Great Dictator is a film done by Charlie Chaplin in 1940. The first scene from the film included here is Charlie Chaplin making an anti-fascist speech. The speech speaks volumes about our political condition today and the need to be ever watchful to guard our liberties and freedoms by safeguarding our humanity. In Chaplin's time the threat was Nazism. In our time the threat is ambivalence, the allure of narrow nationalism, dehumanization of others, consumerism, faux patriotism and an ignorance of the essential tenants of a democratic republic and why they are critical to our freedom and liberty.
As Charlie Chaplin implores his countrymen to "fight for democracy not for your enslavement." I ask that you carefully consider your vote and to most importantly exercise your vote and protect the right of others to participate in our great democracy. Its the humane thing to do.
Vote, use it or lose it.

Hockey Mom Takes Center Ice
Did you hear the one about the guy who went a hockey game and a political brawl broke out?
Or did you hear the one about a hockey mom who took center ice to drop the puck and got booed?
Only in Philadelphia, where fans are known to throw snowballs at Santa Claus and burn sacred cows in effigy could this happen and did at last nights season opener for the Flyers. The city of Joe Six Packers have no shame. They will let any less then worthy opponents of their Broad Street Bullies sensibilities know where to stick it at the drop of a hockey puck.
Being from North Jersey I know. My Devils, Mets, Giants, Nets and Knicks have been locked in a life and death struggle with their Philly based conference rivals my entire career as a sports fan. I know the fans from the City of Brotherly Love and they ain't too friendly to the people they don't like. Hell, even at Gino's they won't even sell you a Philly Cheese Steak if you don't order it in English. That's hard man.
So as our First Mom of Hockey came onto the ice to drop the ceremonial first puck at the Flyers season opener a raft of Bronx Cheers (sorry Philly) welled up in the stands. I'm proud of them. The First Hockey Mom even dressed her daughter Piper in a Flyer jersey to provide cover and win sympathy from the hard nosed fans. It didn't work.
If you live by the hockey stick you lose by the hockey stick. Palin's cheap attempt to claim the Joe Six Pack hockey vote was penalized by the fans. She was called for high sticking and was sent to the penalty box.
Republicans have politicized religion, science and education. We draw the line at center ice. Vote no to the republican control of the NHL!
Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!
I hope the Phillies go all the way.

It was painful to watch Mr. McCain's last town meeting. An older women took the microphone to speak about her fear of an Obama Presidency. She said that she read that Mr. Obama was an Arab. Mr. McCain took the microphone back from the woman before she could complete her thought. I guess she feared that Michelle Obama would change the Lincoln Room wallpaper to Arabesque patterns to match the architecture of the Grand Mosque of Cordoba and that the Whirling Dervishes would perform at all future White House events.
McCain was forced to give a Marc Anthony soliloquy. "My friends, I must say that my opponent is an honorable man. And he really is an American, Sean Hannity checked his papers. Twice." McCain's supporters were miffed and looked on with unbelief as their candidate went on to explain that Obama was actually a family man with two kids and a wife. His supporters shouted "say it ain't so John. Don't believe the lies of the liberal media that paint Obama like a regular American. We know the real truth. He doesn't even like hockey!"
All week we have seen McCain's supporters express their exasperation because "That One" has a lead in the polls which many fear their candidate may not be able to surmount. With incredulous unbelief they can't understand how the America of their understanding might elect a terrorist loving closeted Muslim whose deep hatred of America will compel him to quickly raise the White Flag of surrender and preside over the destruction of the Union. Low information voters rely on demagogues to confirm their prejudices and fears with a few well placed words. Cultivating low information voters by speaking down to them with hate speech will yield low returns. So as our country struggles to confront drastic challenges and problems McCain's Know Nothings implore him to show more courage of his convictions and go negative in his next debate to save America from an Arab President.
Sarah Palin's masterful use of the rhetoric of division and suspicion "who is Barack Obama?" has stoked the ugly side of America's political angst. The lipstick wearing attack dog has done her job well. She has skillfully tapped into voter sentiment that is frightened about their economic security, fed up with the self serving lies of our political leaders and furious about their powerlessness to exercise control and stop the radical changes occurring in their lives. The stasis of Bush Republicanism is being washed away in a Tsunami of world events that is accelerating the pace of change and cultural transformation. Palin promises to change our inability to arrest the changes that are overwhelming Americans. Sarah's minions just want it to stop. They want it to go away. They want it to stay the way things always were. America is on top. God is in his heaven and all is right with the world. They will accept nothing less then our full entitlement to the birthright of our American Exceptionalism. And unlike Easu we will not sell it or be tricked out of it by a fast talking Jacob that goes by the name of Barack.
There are parallels to this story in our short and modest history as a democratic republic. The Know Nothings were a pre-republican party political movement borne in the civic turmoil of New York City. They were Nativists that distrusted the ruling democrats and hated the swelling population of Irish immigrants that was flooding America just prior to and during the Civil War. They felt "the purity of their America" was being lost and diluted by the foreign influence of its new citizens. Martin Scorsese's "Gangs of New York" character Butcher Bill Cutting yearns to protect an idea of America that shares many of the same concerns that Barracuda Sarah incants with her divisive rhetoric.
The release of the movie American Carol will certainly add to the informed dialog about the pressing issues of the day. To me it looks like a heap of pedestrian clichéd camp. Its purpose will serve to reinforce low information voters political prejudices and misconceptions. The few clips I have seen are anything but funny and its natural audience will liken it more to a chilling documentary then comedy. It will also provide comedic cover to derail attempts for a serious examination of issues which can now be disposed of with a dismissive can't take a joke tagline.
One reaps what one sows. Spread seeds of obfuscation and one gets confusion. Spread seeds of distrust you'll get suspicion and division. Spread anger you will reap conflict. Pander to ignorance and you shall cull stupidity.

Level Three Sinks Lower at GS
Interesting piece at CFO magazine concerning fair value deterioration of Level Three Assets at Goldman Sachs during the month of August. Goldman Sachs reports that valuation of Level Three Assets dropped by 13%. It would be interesting to understand the impact of this collateral erosion had on GS's largest counter-party AIG?
Was this the trigger that precursors the radical interventionist moves by the Treasury to purchase a controlling stake in AIG?
This insight will become most constructive as the Treasury begins its purchase program of toxic level three assets. Hammering Hank has hired Neel Kashkari one of his mentees from GS to head up the repurchase program. Mr. Kashkari is said to be a quantitative wiz kid and a real life rocket scientist to buy Level Three Assets from GS and other banks and create and manage a portfolio of toxic assets on behalf of the American taxpayers.

Brother Sun, Sister Moon
I live in the burbs of Northern New Jersey. My home is nestled in the bucolic hills of the Ramapough's. Its very woodsy and the animal population is diverse and pretty prolific considering the fact that the George Washington bridge is only 20 miles to the east.
One of the unfortunate consequences of having a large and thriving animal population is the ugly carnage of road kill that litters community streets and highways. The decaying carcasses of deers, squirrels, woodchucks, chipmunks, Canadian geese, cats, dogs, skunks, opossums, raccoons, foxes, coyotes, snakes, rabbits, turtles, assorted birds and an occasional bear are common sights one expects to encounter each time you take the car out for a spin. Needless to say, driving in my neighborhood is difficult and dangerous. Particularly for the scurrying critters that mindlessly dart into the road and are crushed under the tires of unmindful drivers.
I raise this observation this morning in reverence for the ministry of St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis has long been associated with a love and respect for animals and a deep reverence for our environment. In today's homily, my Episcopal priest offered that St. Francis was asking us to find more balance and more harmony in our relationship with the natural world. The rising death toll of poor creatures that litter our roads are symptoms of a radical imbalance due to habitat destruction and a broken food chain that is horrifically corrected under the unforgiving wheels of rampaging Hummers. As sentient mindful beings who are called by God to be stewards of our planet home; we can find better corrective measures to address this radical imbalance that tilts our earth away from realizing this divine call.
This election has highlighted our need to pay more attention to a changing global climate and the need to become better stewards of our environment and to equitably share the rich bounty mother earth offers all its citizens.
St. Francis reminds us to seek more balance in our lives and in our relations with others and nature. Its a worthy reminder to consider when we vote, when we drive and as we walk along the pathways of our daily life.
May the Lord's Peace be upon you and all God's creation this day and always.
Prayer of St. Francis, "Lord make us instruments of your peace."

Parents, have you ever wondered how to know if your child has anxiety? Or, if you find yourself wondering "Does my child have anxiety?", then this article is just for you!
According to the World Health Organization, a shocking 10 – 20% of the world's children and adolescents suffer from some form of mental illness or another.
What's even worse is that sometimes it can take up to a DECADE for them to receive any form of treatment as many of their symptoms are overlooked as just "growing pains" or they are too shy to voice their anxieties in fear of further ridicule. This leads to action that is only taken once the condition reaches a crisis level and sometimes that could be too late!
AnxietyPanda has had anxious feelings since being a little cub but was told that she is just shy and seeking attention and that she had to stop making up stories. So, AnxietyPanda put on a brave face and never mentioned it again.
She didn't want anybody to think she is making up stories, after all, so even though the feelings and thoughts were very real, she put on a brave face and kept everything inside which was such a big mistake.
Parents, please, if your child tells you they're anxious, please get the help of a professional even if you don't believe the child. At the very least ask them if they would like or need any help. Be there for them and be supportive.
AnxietyPanda's life would have had a completely different turn, had her plea been heard all those years ago.
So, what are the symptoms to look out for?
Early Warning Signs – Symptoms of Childhood Anxiety Disorders
If your child exhibits any of the following symptoms for more than a week or two, they may have an anxiety disorder.
It is best to have it checked out immediately, and preferably referred to a therapist or natural healer as you don't want a medicated child who will not be able to live their life to the fullest due to being medicated.
Only consider medication if it is absolutely necessary for recovery and will only be administered for a few months in order to lessen the severity before other treatments are implemented.
Symptoms include, but are not limited to, headaches, nausea or vomiting, stomach upsets, insomnia, tantrums, or faking sickness in order to not have to go to school.
AnxietyPanda used to fake being sick a lot and got away with it because her parents did not believe that she had a mental problem, but did believe her when she said she had a physical problem.
She'd sometimes get away with being off sick for two weeks at a time and even the doctors didn't know she wasn't ill. She got treatments for sinus and all sorts of ailments as they couldn't figure out what was wrong, even though nothing was physically wrong and it was her mental health that needed attention.
Other symptoms include clinginess, anger outbursts, nightmares or signs of perfectionism (due to them being scared of what others will think of them).
Did you know that toddlers and young children also suffer from night terrors and anxieties? For a comprehensive guide on what this is, how it differs from a nightmare, and how you can help your little one overcome this, read Moms Loves Best's article: Fright at Night: Helping Your Toddler's Night Terrors
AnxietyPanda recalls having to sit for hours trying to get her fur in perfect condition before school and would feel panicky and cry if she couldn't get every last hair to fall perfectly into place.
There would also be major drama and tears if there was any mention of being late for class or anything else for that matter.
All the other school pandas would stare and laugh at her if she was late! AnxietyPanda just couldn't deal with that.
As an adult, AnxietyPanda still has issues with being late.
Even though it is considered to be a good thing that you will always be on time, stressing about being 5 minutes late is really not worth the toll on yourself, in panda's humble opinion.
Also, take heed if your child comes to you with unrealistic scenarios and always only focuses on the worst case outcomes or if your child seems to be withdrawn and tends to stay on the gloomy side of the spectrum.
Your Child May Have Anxiety – Now What?
If there's any reason to believe that your child may have an anxiety disorder, it is very important to take them for a diagnosis as soon as possible.
After all, if your child fell and broke their arm, you wouldn't wait to take them for treatment, would you? No. You would rush them to the emergency room, of course!
Why should mental illness be any different from a physical one?
Anxiety is treatable, and if picked up on early enough and dealt with effectively, your child will be able to enjoy a happy, healthy and fulfilling life.
Common treatments include:
Psychotherapy and/or behavior therapy.
This is AnxietyPanda's number 1 recommendation, but please always listen to the directions of your physician.
Receiving psychotherapy will teach your child how to effectively manage their anxiety and they will learn skills to change their negative self-talk to more positive self-talk.
They will be in an environment where they can feel safe to talk about their fears and the therapist will be able to validate their thoughts and help them to work through any negative thoughts and struggles.
Although there may be severe cases where medication is a necessity to treat certain symptoms, AnxietyPanda definitely doesn't recommend having your anxious child medicated.
This is due to the number of side effects and restrictions it places on your child.
Try to work with your physician to explore other avenues of treatment, such as behavior therapy, as mentioned above.
Home Care
Parents, remember that you can also play a crucial role in helping your little one overcome their anxieties.
Be sure to provide them with a balanced diet and be sure to exclude caffeine from their diets.
Fresh fruit and veg should be given in preference of sugary sweets and treats.
Boost their diet with a daily multivitamin supplement.
Make sure they get regular exercise and that they follow a healthy sleeping regime.
You can further assist your child by teaching them independence and by supporting their decisions.
Try not to voice your own fears or anxieties in front of them and rather focus on building their self-confidence by providing them with manageable tasks or expectations and praising their efforts towards reaching these.
There is an excellent workbook available on Amazon called "What to Do When You Worry Too Much: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety", written by Dr. Dawn Huebner. Read AnxietyPanda's Review on it here.
A Final Thought
Please don't beat yourself up if your child is suffering from an anxiety disorder.
It is not your fault and there is nothing wrong with it.
There are quite a number of reasons why a child may end up suffering from anxiety.
It could be hereditary, but it also could have something to do with environmental effects or past conditioning and behaviors learned from others, such as aunts or grandparents or even close friends, that were out of your control.
Whatever you do, please don't ignore their cry for help or play it down due to your own fears.
With the proper diagnosis and treatment, childhood anxiety conditions can be overcome and will ensure a better and fuller life for your child.
Do you have a child that suffers from an anxiety disorder?
How did you know that your child has anxiety?
Please feel free to share any advice or experiences in the comments.

WiseWage wants to make savings a possibility for everyone because we believe that everyone needs a strong financial foundation. We want to build a community of savers.
Americans are not doing well with their savings
If you think it is hard to save money, you are not alone. Most people wish they could save more, but many seem to have decided that it isn't possible. A few years back, a national consumer group surveyed a broad group of US households on savings. What they found was surprising. Thirty-four percent said they had no retirement plan at all. In a separate survey, twenty percent of the respondents said that they planned to fund their retirement from the proceeds of winning lottery tickets. If it's of any reassurance, the expectations to live from lottery winnings is even higher among Canadians.
The net result is that forty percent of American households have less than $400 in money left over at the end of the month.
Bottom line: if you start saving $35 per month, you will already be ahead of two of every five households in the US within one year. You can take some pride in your ability to stand apart from the rest of us. Be the change!

1977 XLCR, Willie G's creation to compete with foreign cafe racers, high performance 1000cc iron head, racing exhaust, S&S carb, high performance race cams, 4 speed, racing inspired body work, very low mile one owner bike, none nicer Vin: 7F01552H7
The XLCR was the bike that nobody understood. In an era when
the Harley-Davidson image had crystallized as the easy rider's machine, Willie
G. popped up with a street racer. Next to the Japanese wonderbikes, the Cafe
Racer's underwhelming performance could only serve to embarrass its rider.
With 61 horsepower on tap at 6,200 rpm, the rider astride the 530-pount XLCR had 106 miles per hour available right out of the factory. Wheelbase was Sportster-standard 58.5 inches. With forgiving handling, the bike was one of Harley-Davidson's best inventions for mountain roads.
One of the XLCR's most distinctive features was its flat-back,
siamesed exhaust pipes. Everything else on the bike was either gloss black or
polished aluminum. The twin produced 61 horsepower from cylinders with bore
and stroke of 3.19x81 inches. Only 1,923 were built in 1977, 1,201 in 1978,
and only 9 in 1979. The production of the XLCR was short-lived

Binance May Show $1 Billion Profits in 2018
In an interview with Bloomberg, the Chief Executive Officer of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange (by trading volume), Changpeng Zhao stated that he expects Binance's profits to be as high as $1 billion for this year. Zhao also said that the crypto exchange has already generated about $300 million in revenues for the first half of 2018.
The numbers that Zhao presented during his interview defied the theory that exchanges were dependent on the prices of cryptocurrencies to be successful. Bitcoin is currently trading at below $7000, however, the exchanges are flourishing.

Ethereum Facing "Gas" Crisis
According to the CEO of MyCrypto, Taylor Monahan's tweet, Ethereum is facing a "gas" crisis. "Gas" is the price that users have to pay to use the Ethereum network – basically the fees required conduct transactions on the platform.
The reason for Monahan's tweet is Ethereum users spent 5,862 ETH, which is $2.7 million, on transactions on Monday, July 2, an all-time high for the network. Due to the changing conditions on the world's second largest network, these is a very real possibility that use could be overpaying for transactions.
