In The Crown's third season, some major things have changed, but fundamentally, the Netflix drama remains the same. It is still gorgeously photographed, still committed to shining a new light on royal history, and still immensely satisfying to watch. It is also still extremely well-acted, even though that's where the biggest shifts occur.
For those who haven't kept on top of their The Crown casting news, the three principal characters — Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, and Princess Margaret, previously portrayed by Emmy winner Claire Foy, Matt Smith, and Vanessa Kirby — were recast to reflect their advancing ages in season three, which debuts November 17 and covers a 13-year span from 1964 to 1977. Respectively, they are now played by recent Oscar winner Olivia Colman, Tobias Menzies of, among other things, Outlander and Game of Thrones, and Helena Bonham Carter. As you might expect, every single one of them is magnificent. There is one moment in the first episode where an aide notes that a new image of Queen Elizabeth, to be displayed on British stamps, reflects her more (ahem) mature appearance, which is a little jarring since the third season begins only a few months after season two ended. Other than that, the transition is perfectly smooth, with Colman, Menzies, and Bonham Carter sliding into these roles as if they've been wearing them since the beginning.
The Crown routinely gets praise for some of the elements I've already mentioned: impeccable direction, fine acting, its overall top-notch production values, which remain top-notch in season three. But one of its best, most overlooked qualities is the fact that it delivers television that is episodic in the truest sense of the word. While it's certainly ideal to watch all ten of these episodes in their intended order, one could theoretically stream episode three or six in isolation and not only follow what's happening, but also feel like they had digested a single story, completely told. The Crown certainly possess the ambition and artistry that might tempt some people to use that phrase that's thrown around a lot about prestige television: It's like a movie. But The Crown is not a movie. It's exceptional television that takes full advantage of the narrative structure and scope the medium provides.
Season three largely reflects the era of Harold Wilson, the U.K. prime minister who served from 1964 to 1970 and then again from 1974 to 1976, when he resigned for health reasons. The unexpectedly warm relationship that develops between the queen and the Labour Party politician with a thick socialist streak, played by Jason Watkins, is one of the season's through lines. But the strongest recurring theme is the idea that being born into a royal family repeatedly chips away at a person's free will until it feels basically gone.
We see that expressed when Elizabeth takes some time to travel with her friend and horse-racing manager Porchey (recast this season with Poldark's John Hollingworth) and wonders what her life might have looked like if she'd lived it outside Buckingham Palace. We see it when Philip, coated in an even thicker crust of cantankerousness, goes through a midlife crisis and becomes obsessed with the Apollo 11 mission. We see it in the restless dissatisfaction that Margaret carries with her everywhere — she never forgets her restless dissatisfaction, or her cigarettes — as well as in her eroding marriage to Tony (Ben Daniels, in another bit of recasting, taking over the role handled last season by Matthew Goode). We absolutely see it in a young Prince Charles (Josh O'Connor, who resembles the Prince of Wales more than you might expect), who desperately tries to carve out his own path, one that he'd like to walk with a woman for whom he has fallen. You might have heard of her. Her name is Camilla, soon-to-be Parker-Bowles, and she's played by Emerald Fennell of Call the Midwife.
"Not having a voice is something we all have to live with," the queen tells Charles when he objects to breaking things off with Camilla. "We have all made sacrifices and suppressed who we are." This is a family, as those who know their royal history are already well aware, doomed to keep passing down the same repression from generation to generation.
The Crown is also a show that isn't necessarily subtle about communicating its central messages, as that bit of dialogue suggests. Creator Peter Morgan, who scripted nearly all of the season, can be a bit heavy-handed in that regard. When Margaret cranks up her personality in a very non-British way during a White House visit with President Lyndon B. Johnson and succeeds in winning his favor, Elizabeth laments that Margaret "was all the things I told her not to be, all the things I could never be." It's already obvious that Elizabeth wishes she had the natural charm that Margaret possesses in unlimited supply. But sometimes The Crown can't resist stating the obvious.
Still, that's a pretty minor issue because, in every other way, The Crown is an absorbing, thoroughly enriching experience, so much so that it's difficult to pick a stand-out episode. Certainly episode two, "Margaretology," which follows Margaret and Tony on their trip to America, is the most fun installment of the season. Its highlight: a totally delightful sequence that toggles between Prime Minister Wilson at Buckingham Palace, explaining to the queen what occurred when Margaret met with President Johnson, and a depiction of that White House occasion, as it devolves into a drinking and limerick recitation contest. ("The found her vagina in North Carolina," ends the winner from Margaret, "and her asshole in Buckingham Palace.")
On the other end of the emotional spectrum, there's episode three, "Aberfan," which depicts the tragic 1966 colliery spill in a Welsh village that resulted in the deaths of 144 people, 116 of whom were children. The detail-oriented depiction of the incident, and the anger expressed by the grieving when it becomes clear that segments of the government were lax in their oversight of that coal operation, contain shades of HBO's Chernobyl. This season of The Crown frequently steps back to provide a wider picture of events like this, both in England and around the world, then spins the camera back to Queen Elizabeth to demonstrate the impact of those events on her leadership. In the case of the Aberfan disaster, she faces and ultimately succumbs to pressure to visit the accident scene, one of multiple hints that modern times are beginning to demand more transparency and outward empathy from the royal family.
Colman, who demonstrated her flair for playing eccentric characters in both The Favourite and Fleabag, has to do pretty much the opposite here and succeeds beautifully. Her performance is all about that suppression she mentions to Charles. Even when she's putting on a pleasant or neutral expression, you can tell that Elizabeth is swallowing her feelings, gulping down words so they don't accidentally escape from her mouth. She even admits in a conversation with Wilson that she wonders if something is wrong with her because she is so emotionally stunted. Colman's performance is a season-long exercise in extraordinary restraint that provides a profound payoff. When a family crisis finally does make Elizabeth lose it — or at least lose it to the extent she's capable — it's an extremely moving moment.
Menzies, on the other hand, doesn't hold back from displaying Philip's impatience and stubbornness. But he also allows the prince's insecurity and vulnerability to peek through, particularly in the moon-landing focused episode. Make no mistake, though, this man is uptight, and Menzies never lets you forget it. Philip clenches his jaw so hard and so frequently that after a while the mere sight of him made my molars hurt.
And then there's Bonham-Carter, who, like Kirby before her, wears Margaret's scorn and droll attitude on every sleeve in her extensive wardrobe. Where Colman has to hold back, and hold back, and hold back some more, Bonham-Carter glides through her scenes like the personification of Cool Britannia. She is both sad and sexy at the same time, and never more so than when she meets future lover Roddy Llewellyn (Harry Treadaway), a gardener whose services she immediately seeks out during a shopping trip.
While he's in the dressing room, he mentions that proper gardening requires "nimble fingers." The way those words prompt Bonham Carter to peel Margaret's body off a wall she's leaning against suggests she's already decided to peel off a few other things as soon as she gets the chance. Bonham Carter is always terrific. Here, she's extra-terrific.
What's particularly great about all of these performances, and The Crown in general, is that it makes room for us to empathize with these people without glossing over their obvious faults. Elizabeth says some unimaginably cruel things, particularly to Charles. Margaret is ridiculously self-involved. Philip is a privileged ass. ("We all desire equality, but here's the thing: we were not born equal," Philip says at one point, unintentionally summarizing the difference between British ideals and American ones.) But you can't watch The Crown and conclude that any of them are fundamentally bad. They are complicated and dealing with mixed motivations and utterly imperfect. They are humans in all their fascinating contradictions. They just happen to be the kind that get to live in castles and wear crowns, whether they want them or not.

The Cross of Christ Transforms. . . Our Priorities
The School of the Cross
The cross is the school of love. It transforms how we look at God, the world, and everyone around us. Nailed to the cross with Jesus, we sometimes have faith enough to hear him promise, "This day you will be with me in Paradise." Others simply curse God for not taking them down off of the cross. If you are graced to be a student of the cross, it is your mission to pray with all of your strength for those who are truants of this school. The love of God compels us to love one another, 118 The Power of the Cross God has already lowered himself to our level, suffered at our hands, and loved us through it all. Jesus is the perfect example of being loved by God and loving God.
Realizing that God alone really matters is the first step to entering the kingdom of God. When that kingdom comes, everyone will acknowledge God's priority. Until then, we live in a world where those who know must tell those who don't, and oftentimes those who know best are the children. Fulton Sheen once said there will be only children in the kingdom, something that we adults might want to reflect upon from time to time.

KCM Group.
Gordon Kovtun found his calling early in life. While on walks with his mother in downtown San Diego in his youth, Gordon was awestruck by people in hard hats acting as maestros among towering cranes, orchestrating the vitalization of the city's core. As new tourists and residents transformed the small beach town into one of America's largest cities in the 60s and 70s, the wizardry behind construction captivated his mind.
Upon graduating from Bishop's High School in La Jolla, Gordon pursued his passion and attended Cal State Polytechnic University to study civil engineering and then earned his master's degree in the same discipline at the University of Southern California. Gordon was determined to return home after academia to put his own mark on the construction industry and his hometown community.
After years of refining his skills and experience, Gordon took the leap of faith and created KCM Group from his living room in 2000. With a three-person team, Gordon quickly scaled KCM into a full-service construction management and consulting firm. Today, his firm serves numerous clients thought the San Diego region, providing project management and consulting expertise on many commercial, public and private estate developments. Gordon and his team have helped shape the vision of some of the region's most iconic brands, including the famous Sycuan Casino in El Cajon, the Urban Discovery Academy in East Village, Pardee Homes communities across the county and Jerome's Furniture stores throughout Southern California.
As a firm that is well-known for efficiently delivering quality large-scale projects, KCM Group is a much sought-after custom-estate construction management company. Under Gordon's guidance, KCM Group utilizes its commercial expertise to create stunning private residential homes.
While Gordon is well-known in Southern California for his construction management expertise, he is equally recognized for his involvement in the community. Following the example set by his parents, Gordon maintains his family penchant for philanthropy. For years, he has dedicated time and resources to the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, San Diego Museum of Man, San Diego Pride Parade and Ruben H. Fleet Science Center.
As a result of his work in the community, KCM Group also reflects Gordon's enthusiasm for building neighborhoods that serve the public. The firm manages several community-based construction projects including the high-profile Plaza de Panama project and Comic Con Museum in Balboa Park. In partnership with Mayor Faulconer, the San Diego Housing Commission and Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation, KCM Group is also managing construction of The Beacon Apartments. The Housing First initiative is creating 44 units for homeless individuals and families, providing stability to help people improve their health, financial situation and overall well-being.
In addition to public projects, Gordon has great respect for his role in shaping the city's local neighborhoods and helping owners realize the home of their dreams. From custom estates to commercial developments, KCM's footprint in the San Diego region is remarkable. Gordon is grateful to serve the greater connection between his profession, philanthropy and "building community."

Let's face it: Many of us think that once we reach middle age, it's all downhill from there. After all, it's a time when the body starts to experience wear and tear, and when hormones begin to fluctuate and metabolism slows down. Because of this, obesity and metabolic syndromes can start to creep in, leading to disorders like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, increased LDL or "bad" cholesterol, and greater risks of breast and colon cancer. Women also begin experiencing symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes and mood swings.
On top of these changes, working professionals will tend to ignore minor signs and symptoms, which can only get worse if ignored. A busy schedule can leave little time for healthy living. Cooking and mindful eating may be quickly replaced with fast food and on-the-go snacking. And physical activity may be compromised for more time at the office.
But middle age doesn't have to be the end of feeling and looking good. With a little more focus on self-care, you may not only add years to your life, but make those years some of your best. Here's a good template to follow for any middle-aged, working professional looking to make their life a little healthier and happier:
- Wake up early. This means getting to bed early the previous night, of course. Aim for 8 solid hours of sleep.
- Do some light stretches upon waking. This will boost your metabolism and loosen up any stiff muscles.
- Start the day with a cup of warm water with lemon (add a touch of raw honey for a hint of sweetness).
- Get in a light workout at the gym or at a nearby park, or take a 45-minute walk.
- Stick to one cup of coffee per day.
- Get in a nutrient-dense, energy-boosting breakfast. Try a bowl of oats or grains like rice, quinoa, or millet soaked in nut milk, and topped with a serving of fruit, like a banana or apple.
- If your office is close to home, ditch the car and walk or cycle to work.
- While at work, take short breaks and quick walks. Even just a walk around the office or down the hall will help support circulation and keep you loose and energized.
- Every 30 minutes at your desk, take a 5-minute break to move and stretch your neck, wrists, and back. You can even do some simple eye exercises to prevent eye strain, which could lead to vision problems later in life.
- Be prepared with a healthy snack for a mid-morning break — go for foods high in healthy fats and protein. Do not go on an empty stomach for too long — this can lead to a build-up of acid in the digestive system.
- Take some time out to do light breathing exercises. Pranayama can be done anywhere, anytime.
- Try to eat lunch around the same time everyday. Erratic eating schedules can be upset your digestive system.
- This is a good time to get your daily dose of natural calcium through foods like yogurt or lassi. Along with calcium, be sure to get plenty of Vitamin D — the best way is by soaking in the sun! — to prevent bone disorders like osteopenia and osteoporosis, which can often surface in middle age.
- Do not go back to your computer immediately after lunch! Take a brisk walk to let that food settle and get you prepared to get back to work.
- Avoid that temptation for another cup of coffee. Opt for a mug of green or herbal tea.
- Eat dinner at a fixed time, ideally 7 pm to 9 pm. Eat a balanced dinner that includes fresh vegetables, protein, healthy fats, and whole grains like quinoa or brown rice.
- Don't go settling down in front of the TV quite yet. Take a quick walk after your dinner.
- Spend some quality time with friends or family, sans digital devices.
- Figure out what time you plan to wake up in the morning, and try to get to bed at least 8 hours before.
- Turn off the TV and shut down all of your electronics at least 30 minutes before going to bed.
- Take warm showers. Hot water can raise your blood pressure quickly and suddenly.
- Keep yourself hydrated. Aim for at least 6-8 glasses of water daily.
- Avoid long working hours. Schedule in time to unwind and relax your body and mind.
- Relax and decrease stress levels with some simple forms of meditation. -Some people find meditation balls or a Tibetan bowl to be helpful.
- Avoid stress and burnout by prioritizing your tasks and taking on only what you can reasonably do.
- Make some time each day to listen to music. Soft, instrumental tracks, in particular, can help relieve stress.
- Now, pick at least a few of these tips to try, and expand from there. See what works for you. A little extra self-care goes a long way. Middle age is not just about looking back at past achievements, but looking forward to a healthy, robust future.

The Marquez Valdes-Scantling experience is one of peaks and valleys, of highs and lows, of big plays and mistakes.
The inconsistent but increasingly important Green Bay Packers receiver peaked again Sunday during a 31-24 win over the Detroit Lions at Ford Field.
The performance wasn't uneven. Valdes-Scantling was terrific from start to finish.
After fumbling in overtime in Indianapolis and then two straight games without a catch, Valdes-Scantling came alive in Detroit, catching six passes on six targets for 85 yards and a touchdown for the Packers, who clinched the NFC North with the win over the Lions.
All six of Valdes-Scantling's catches gained at least 10 yards and either picked up a first down or created a touchdown. He didn't have any truly explosive plays – his longest gain was 21 yards – but he was as good in the intermediate areas as he's ever been over the course of an entire game.
Never before in his first 45 NFL games had Valdes-Scantling caught all of his targets when targeted more than three times in a game.
Valdes-Scantling might have created one of the most important plays of the game, too.
With the game tied and the Packers facing a third down on the first possession of the second half, Valdes-Scantling ran past the cornerback and was about to break into the clear behind the defense when he got held, drawing an important penalty that extended the drive. The Packers eventually scored a touchdown, kicking off a three-possession stretch in the third quarter that saw Matt LaFleur's team take complete control of the contest.
A quick review of Valdes-Scantling's six catches:
1. Easy catch and run in the flat off the play-action fake. He used his speed to accelerate upfield for 10 yards.
2. His most impressive play. He identified the opportunity for the backshoulder throw based on the leverage of the coverage, got his head around at just the right time and made a terrific contested catch with the defender all over him in the end zone. He had the right timing with Aaron Rodgers, and the finish was excellent. It was an all-hands catch away from body while turning into position.
3. With the cornerback playing a deep bail technique to protect against speed, MVS ran a simple out route at eight yards and made the catch with five yards of cushion. Another easy 11 yards.
4. Another great route, this time from the slot. MVS threatened upfield before turning inside and creating separation from veteran corner Justin Coleman, giving Rodgers an easy throwing window for 14 yards.
5. On his longest play of the game, MVS did a nice job finding the soft spot in the zone, sitting down to create the opportunity and then going to get the ball in the air. Rodgers threw into some traffic on 3rd-and-14 but MVS kept his concentration and made another nice all-hands catch well past the sticks.
6. This is a route MVS needs to master. The corner once again respected his speed, giving plenty of cushion, but MVS slammed on the brakes and was wide open on the hitch route. Once again, there's a five-yard cushion when he makes the catch. Another relatively simple eight-yard route becomes 15 yards.

In August 2018 we blogged about the case of Gray v. Mulberry (re-read here).
As predicted, this case has now made its way to the Court of Appeal, which is hearing the appeal this week.
This is the first time that the Court of Appeal has grappled with the problematic area of philosophical beliefs.
What amounts to a philosophical belief is topical, with the Norwich Employment Tribunal finding last week that vegetarianism, whilst being something an individual could "genuinely believe in", was not a philosophical belief for the purposes of the legislation. A different tribunal will consider the same question in respect of ethical veganism later this month.
Will the somewhat "tick box" criteria set down in Grainger plc v. Nicholson (decided at Employment Appeal Tribunal), with its often unexpected results, survive as the leading authority on this point?
The judgment is awaited with interest.

A Message From Your Seminar Leader
Dear Colleague:
As a veteran secondary math teacher, I have had students of very different ability levels within every one of my classes, no matter what course I taught. I have seen many students who were disenfranchised with mathematics and struggling to relate to and succeed in math. Early in my career, I resolved to reclaim these students and help them build confidence, stronger skills and increased appreciation for mathematics.
My passion for helping struggling math students morphed into a personal challenge. I worked overtime trying to create engaging curricula, strategies and activities that could help struggling math students to succeed. I relished the challenge of coming up with ways to enhance my class for struggling students, and as it turned out, many of the strategies that helped them succeed had the dual benefit of helping everyone in the class to improve!
As a frequent speaker at math conferences for many years, I have also met countless teachers who employed these same strategies in their own classrooms and came back to my sessions excitedly in subsequent years to tell me about their successes.
It is my pleasure to share these powerful ideas and approaches with you for supporting the success of your struggling grades 6-12 math students. I am excited about the potential these strategies have to greatly enhance your students' experience, enjoyment and success in math.
Robert Gerver
P.S. Your struggling students have much to gain by your presence at this seminar! I look forward to meeting you.

A 7-year-old boy has become the youngest person known to die of COVID-19 in Georgia.
The child, who was a resident of Chatham County, had no known underlying health conditions, the state's health department confirmed to CBS News on Friday.
"Every COVID-19 death we report is tragic, but to lose someone so young is especially heart-breaking," Nancy Nydam, Director of Communications for the Georgia Department of Public Health, told CBS News. "We know that older individuals and those with underlying conditions are at higher risk of complications, but this is a disease everyone, regardless of age, should take seriously."
"Please watch out for each other, stay six feet apart, wear a mask in public, wash your hands often, and stay home if you're sick," Nydam added. "A community-wide crisis demands a community-wide response, and we all must do our part to keep each other safe."
Georgia has faced major coronavirus spikes as Governor Brian Kemp clashes with local officials on safety guidelines. According to Johns Hopkins University, the state has 204,895 confirmed cases and 4,026 COVID-related deaths.
This week, a second-grader in the state tested positive for the virus after attending the first day of school in Cherokee County, forcing the child's teacher and classmates to be sent home to quarantine for two weeks. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also documented the case of a summer camp in Georgia where more than 200 kids tested positive for the virus after a teenage staff member was diagnosed in June.
President Donald Trump faced criticism after falsely claiming that children are "almost immune" to the virus, as schools nationwide continue to grapple with when and how to reopen. The CDC reports at least 45 children age 14 and under have died from COVID-related causes since the pandemic began.

Physical media: records, cassettes, compact discs, mini-discs(?)….Let's discuss the different methods of organising a collection. To do that I am forced to make the following outrageous and unfounded claim: for our present purposes, all physical media is created equal. Obviously it's not true. But for now just pretend that CDs hold the same charms as cassettes, and the same aesthetic lustre as vinyl records. We all curate and nurture our collections with equal tenderness.
When I was young, and in possession of about fifteen CDs, I would manage a chart like system. The rules were simple. Every time a CD got played, it moved up one on the rack. The original factory setting for this system was alphabetical, for want of a more equitable method. But with so small a collection, and no other means of listening to music on demand, a beloved album would quickly float to the top. As the collection grew, problems began to arise with this approach. A new CD would be placed at the bottom. After an initial burst of momentum propelling them up, they would quickly run out of steam. New entries would find themselves having to be played thirty or forty times before making it to the top ten. It became harder to remember where certain albums were located. Compilations were also allowed to compete. But their presence upon scrutiny looked messy.
One soon feels an irresistible urge to transcend the chaos of youth . A more egalitarian and systematic approach became necessary. This was my first foray into a simple alphabetical approach. But the young collection is often randomly eclectic, with early acquisitions of Santana sat next to Gorillaz and Linkin Park. Anomalous dad rock – either gifted by well-meaning relatives or purchased before the age of reason – would sit uncomfortably alongside our newest and proudest purchases of Killswitch Engage. Compilations were naturally relegated to the post 'Z' section; the misc bin.
After a time this discord becomes unbearable. By the late teens one has discovered their 'thing'. We purchase batches of releases all at once, usually all in the same vein; entire back catalogues are acquired wholesale. Surely they should sit closer together on the shelf? Not separated by the unforgiving uniformity of the alphabet. At this time I had a clear idea of what I wanted. I would separate by genre, then alphabetical, then in order of release. But what genres?
'Why, based on your current collection: black metal, death metal, grindcore, heavy metal, rock, classical, and misc of course.'
'Ok, but what about Carcass's post 'Symphonies of Sickness' albums, surely they go in death metal, that means splitting up their back catalogue. What about Kyuss? They rock or metal mate? What about Burzum? Some of it's ambient? Should that go in misc? What about that Future Sound of London album, that can't sit in its own electronica section surely?'
'Just stick it in with classical and misc'.
'Wait, so classical and misc is one section'
'Sure…why not?'
And so it went on. After a brief moment of insanity where I tried to order everything chronologically by release, then chronologically by when I had purchased them, the genres gradually dissolved into the cardinal metal, rock, and other. And of course compilations remained at the end in their misc bin. But people still asked 'Why aren't Rammstein in your metal section', 'Why is Dead Can Dance in the same section as Debussy?' 'Are Rush really a heavy metal band?'
I didn't want my collection to be yet another fuse for a tiresome genre debate. It's just a way of storing music. So after some years I just dissolved everything into alphabetical order, in order of release by artist, for solo artists their surname would be used. Classical still remains in its own section. My classical music collection is relatively uncontroversial to segregate, using the generally accepted definition of the term. And this method has served me well for many years.
But there's one arbitration I have to make to achieve this end. The scourge of split EPs. Honestly, how do you file them? I have always just taken my favourite artist on the EP, usually the artist that prompted me to buy the thing in the first place, and filed in their section. But I find this does not sit so well anymore. For a while I only owned one or two and I could squirrel the anomaly away in the back of my mind. A glitch in perfection is inevitable. But a recent purchase of 'The Spirit Never Dies' (2016), a Graveland/Nokturnal Mortum split, has apparently broken this camel's back.
HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHERE TO FILE SPLIT EPs?!
Top billed artist? There isn't always one.
Favourite artist? Any reorganisation of my collection has always been guided by an overarching quest for objectivity, this flies in the face of that principle.
Just put them at the back with the other compilations. Well that's a smack in the face to the artists on that EP. How would they feel if they happily sold them to punters at gigs, thinking they're going to a good home, only to discover we simple shit munchers are filing their labours of love in the misc bin? Along with 'American Anthems' and that free CD we got with Kerrang! Ten years ago?
Create a separate split EP section. If I had about twenty of them maybe, at the moment I have four or five in a collection of over a thousand. Also…how would you organise your split collection? We're back where we started. This is classic Theresa May can-kicking.
The honest to god truth is I have no answer. Split EPs are the collectors equivalent of discovering a hidden contradiction at the heart of basic arithmetic. The 'this sentence is false' of archiving physical media. The unsolvable equation blocking any claim to fidelity in our filing systems. The only solution is to petition artists to stop fucking releasing them. Never mind the benefits of mutual promotion, cooperation, shared exposure. Just fucking stop cos we're dying out here. This won't solve the problem of those already released and at large. For me personally, I have torched my split EPs and hence the problem itself. As I write this I am warmed by a bonfire of purity and consistency. The destruction of these works (and the stench of plastic fumes) is a small price to pay for a good night's sleep.

Many of us can recall stories of parents and grandparents who spent 40-year careers working for a phone company or bank and retiring at age 60 with a defined benefit (DB) pension that supported them in their retirement with a monthly check for the rest of their lives. This predictable stream of retirement income, combined with Social Security or other personal savings or earnings, simplified planning for those who retired a generation ago, when the average lifespan was in the mid-70s.
Today, there are two major factors that have caused many more workers to lose that retirement security.
First, employers have shifted from DB plans to defined contribution (DC) plans (e.g., a 401(k)), with just 2% of private sector workers enrolled in DB plans today, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Unlike DB plans, DC plans require workers to assume all the responsibilities for deciding whether and how much to save without any predictable stream of income at retirement.
And, second, we are living much longer, making it necessary for retirement savings to last longer than ever before. According to the U.S. Social Security Administration, a man turning 65 today can expect to live, on average, until age 84, with one-quarter of those turning 65 today expected to live until age 90 and 10% projected to live past age 95.
The problem with relying on a DC plan as a core or primary retirement plan is that it was never designed to provide retirement security. Such plans were originally intended as tax-advantaged supplemental retirement savings plans that would enhance benefits already provided by traditional DB plans. Today's core DC plans are primarily focused on wealth accumulation and preservation but fail to offer workers options to help them manage their incomes to last a lifetime.
Longer lifespans require revisiting lifetime income strategies
The World Economic Forum (WEF) recently issued a report "We'll Live to 100 – How Can We Afford it?" This report title succinctly captures the demographic and economic challenges for future generations of retirees. On average today's 20-year-olds are projected to live to be 100 and today's 10-year-olds are expected to live to be 103. According to TIAA, more than 800,000 Americans aged 65 or older retired in the last quarter of 2016, 10,000 baby boomers retire each day, and the number of retirees is expected to grow by 60% between 2014 and 2040. Life expectancy has steadily increased during the past century.
These are significant challenges that will require new thinking about retirement planning. How closely does living longer align with the realities of aging, workforce participation, and lifetime earnings? Is it possible to have sufficient income in retirement if you are working, at most, 45 years out of those 100 years? For policy makers, it's time to consider what an increasingly older population means for the sustainability of our retirement system. This must include the consideration of lifetime income strategies in today's DC plans.
Retirement security is more than your 401(k) balance
Your retirement savings account balance is only one of many factors that determines if you will save enough to meet your needs in retirement. Age, lifestyle, health, and cost of living all play a role. Yet, the focus of today's core DC plan has been wealth accumulation and preservation. This is appropriate for a supplemental savings plans, but not for what DC plans have become, which is the primary vehicle for retirement savings. The goal of wealth accumulation only makes sense when the funds are intended to pay for what you want in retirement after your basic needs are met.
If the goal of a retirement plan is to generate enough income in retirement to maintain a certain standard of living, or at least meet basic needs in retirement, retirement savings plans should address the risk that someone may not replace an adequate percentage of preretirement income. If retirement security is the goal, how much you have saved is less important than how much income you can generate from those assets in retirement.
Effectively managing income in retirement is critical
Unfortunately, many people don't realize early enough how much money they need for retirement. They underestimate how much annual income is necessary, or fail to consider common but unexpected health care or family expenses that seriously impact what retirement looks like. A recent MetLife study found that 20% of retirees taking a lump sum spent all of their retirement savings in just 5-1/2 years. Others struggle with transitioning from saving to spending and end up living a lower quality of life than necessary because they are not comfortable spending the money they have saved. Detailed planning and regular reviews are critical to maintaining that necessary balance during retirement.
Expanded options for lifetime income are needed
To provide retirement security, employers need to offer options other than lump-sum distributions when a worker retires. While financial education initiatives can have a positive impact on participant savings rates, it may not be enough. It is unrealistic to expect people to learn and apply the evolving, nuanced financial expertise required to know how to manage their money through their retirement to last a lifetime.
Most large employees still do not offer, and are not likely to offer, options that help those saving for retirement convert their savings plan account balances into lifetime income, according to a recent survey by Aon Hewitt. Changing behaviors, such as how today's younger workers change jobs more frequently than their parents and grandparents, underscore the need for reframing how we structure ways to save for retirement.
In 2016, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) recommended that the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) provide more effective guidance about lifetime income options to encourage policy makers and retirement plan sponsors to focus on retirement security. The DOL acknowledges that lifetime income is an important public policy issue. And Congress recently introduced a proposal to reduce regulatory burdens and help encourage more employers to offer lifetime income solutions in their retirement plans.
The easier policy makers make it for retirement plan sponsors to offer effective income distribution strategies, such as lifetime income solutions and/or structured withdrawal options, the more time and resources the financial industry will commit to developing new solutions. This is an important step in achieving widespread adoption by employers, and ultimately, improving retirement security for recent and future retirees.

Why your dog needs a place to call his/her own + a list of the top dog beds that will ensure your baby the best sleep yet.
To say my dog loves his bed is an understatement. Every time I am working from home, watching TV, cooking dinner, etc., I find my dog, Scooby, sleeping in his little furry sanctuary. This is true for most dogs. Dogs need their beds to have a place of their own. The beds are almost like tiny homes that they can go to when they feel uneasy, nervous, and tired. As you think about your home and all the safety and comfort it provides, that is precisely how our babies feel when they plop down onto their little beds.
Did you know dogs sleep for 12-18 hours a day on average? Sleeping on the floor for that amount of time provides no support for their bodies and can make them feel alone. Dogs need a place to call their own. Regardless of your dog likes to lay by your side, you need to have a dog bed for him/her. They love sleeping and cuddling with you, but when you leave the house, are busy, and can't be with them, they usually head straight to bed. If not, they will be waiting on the floor, uncomfortable and all alone until your return.
Dogs tend to develop joint problems as they age. By sleeping on a bed, they minimize the chances of developing those problems and getting the comfort and support they need if they already have issues.
All dogs come in different shapes, sizes, and problems. Their beds cannot be one size fits all. That is why I have assorted a great list of recommended dog beds that will ensure your pooch has their own little haven and excellent sleep every time they shut their heavenly eyes.

The Legend of William McKinley
By K. Gordon Oppenheimer
NOW that the full truth is known about the assassination of President Kennedy and controversy and doubt no longer beset historians, we can turn our attention to recent revelations concerning the assassination of President William McKinley and we can now disclose the real facts.
IT is popularly supposed that McKinley was shot by a lone assassin by the name of Leon Czolgosz, whom we shall call Leon, or "Lee" for convenience. Mark the name Czolgosz well, dear reader, for it recurs in this narrative in various guises and in various forms. Recently discovered documents, found in an obscure corner of the basement of the National Archives Building during the course of the move to the new Archives Building, make it abundantly clear that neither Lee nor his wife had anything to do with the death of McKinley. In fact, Lee was not married and that fact certainly exonerates his wife. The most compelling fact is that Lee was such a lousy shot that, although he was aiming at Huey Long, he hit the Archduke Francis Ferdinand who was riding in the car with Long. This upset many people in Europe and violence erupted. But that is another story, best saved for another day.
CURRENTLY, the preponderance of the evidence points to Sitting Bull who, at the time of the incident, was seen by some to be standing and by others to be squatting. But history could not tolerate such a remarkable figure if he had a name such as "Squatting Bull". But if Sitting Bull was standing, what would account for the three arrows found in McKinley's anatomy in such a place that if his name had been Sitting McKinley, he would have been compelled to change it to Standing McKinley?
Here the story begins to become complicated and leads to some rather bizarre conclusions. Sitting Bull, you see, was not at the Little Bighorn on the day of the battle. It was a Deputy Assistant Chief named Gooseneck who produced and directed the fight. Here, then, is the second appearance of Gooseneck, for you will recall the name Czolgosz which appeared earlier herein. By all accounts, Sitting Bull and his colleague, Crazy Joe, slipped away the night before the battle. This tactic was known to military men at that time as a battleslip. That it was Bull on the lam was verified by several warriors who saw Bull run.
WITH plots and counterplots and intrigue and extrigue, why was Sitting Bull's wife, Lotta, never interviewed? She had been seen with certain unindicted co-conspirators at the grassless knoll shortly after she overheard her husband, Sitting, discussing the plot with a former prominent actor. This actor, it seems, enjoyed a reputation for unerring accuracy with the crossbow, which would explain the presence of the 11 arrows in McKinley's body. Moreover, the investigation disclosed traces of poison in McKinley's body, which supports the intoxication theory but does not answer the burning questions of who was drunk and why. We do know, however, that Lee had been trained in Cuba in the uses of snake venom. Just what this has to do with the assassination has never been made clear. The fact is that it has nothing to do with anything.
Usually reliable witnesses have testified variously that six (some say up to thirty) arrows were fired and at least four witnesses noticed that McKinley was being stabbed by an Albanian by the name of Czffrwyu Gooznik. Ah ha! Gooseneck again, this time in the disguise of an assassin. Why has this remained concealed all of these years? Careful study of the post mortem proceedings compels the conclusion that the facts were covered up by the presiding officer at the inquest. That officer had previously earned his livelihood as a gravedigger and had acquired a reputation for his ability to cover up.
Up to this point, no serious questions have been raised about Crazy Joe's role in this affair. You will recall that the last we heard of Crazy Joe was that he had slipped out of camp on the night before the battle which, if you think about it, was not such a crazy thing to do and resurrects the old feeling that perhaps he was misnamed. In any event, whenever he was questioned, he insisted that, in the battle, he was so badly wounded in his knee that they named the battle after it. But Crazy Joe is confused because that was an entirely different battle. The fact is that Crazy Joe simply fought in the wrong battle! How can you depend on the testimony of a guy who got so mixed up that he fought in the wrong brawl? No, we will find no satisfactory solution by pursuing that line of inquiry.
WITH some of the undisputed testimony suggesting that McKinley died by his own hand, why didn't the authorities discuss the matter with McKinley? In fact, McKinley's whole role in this matter is rather suspect. For example, if McKinley died by his own hand, why hadn't the Secret Service assigned somebody to hold his hand? Furthermore, McKinley's wife could have told the authorities, had they asked, that she had heard certain officials, high in the Government and frequently high elsewhere, conspiring together. They had a rope with them which, the Attorney General of Louisiana explained, was used for stringing up hams. This was, without doubt, a veiled reference to the actor whom Mrs. Bull heard talking to Sitting. In any event, it is clear that this was one of the reasons that the investigation was hamstrung.
BUT there remain a number of unanswered questions. For example, whatever became of Sitting Bull's brother, Terry Bull? Some insist that he was on the grassless knoll immediately prior to the shooting; others contend that he was inside the Capital building and yet others find no difficulty in reconciling this apparent discrepancy because they subscribe to the "inside job" theory which holds that the grassless knoll was, in fact, inside of the Capital building. This might account for the popular view that McKinley ran a pretty dirty administration. Such a position would, of course, require a re-examination of the former gravedigger-cum-inquest official's part in this affair. One may, of course, take issue with the conclusion of the Inquest that Terry might truly have been Mrs. Bull in disguise, but if this is so, what, then, becomes of the testimony of those who swear that they saw Mrs. Bull talking to Terry behind the bullboard? billboard?
Finally, why is there not even a vague allusion to the guy who shot the guy who shot Czolgosz like a partridge in a pear tree? The grassless knoll was, we know, grassless, but nobody has seriously urged that it was pear treeless. We need not dwell on the question of the identity of the person who, disguised as a partridge, concealed himself or herself in a pear tree, for who could be demented enough to perch in a pear tree on a cold winter day? Obviously, most of the characters named in this exposé would qualify.
SO there, my friends, is where the matter stands, or sits, if you are inclined toward the view that Sitting Bull was doing anything but squatting, unless, of course, you are inclined to the point of appearing to be inebriated1 or are inclined for any other reason. Nevertheless, the Government apparently expects the citizenry to believe the facts as the Government has found them to be, but you cannot always believe what Washington tells you, despite the fact that it is bruited about that he never told a lie. This episode, then, rests in the shadow of doubt, speculation, and conjecture and who really knows the truth? The Shadow knows.

In a post at Cline Watch earlier this month, I wondered:
Has Congressman Cline ever shown any interest in the working conditions of employees of poultry processing plants in the Shenandoah Valley portion of his district?
After this report in The Harrisonburg Daily News-Record, I'm still wondering:
On May 20, 317 COVID-19 cases were Shenandoah Valley poultry workers, according to an email from a state health official to a local activist and obtained by the Daily News-Record on Tuesday.
The email was sent by Dr. Laura Kornegay, director of the Central Shenandoah Health District, to Michael Snell-Feikema, a local activist and member of Community Solidarity with the Poultry Workers, on Saturday night.
In previous interviews, Hobey Bauhan, the president of the Virginia Poultry Federation, said that plants have made moves to protect their employees from the virus and every plant wants to keep its workforce safe.
[Rockingham County Administrator Stephen] King said the measures have been working.
"I do not think we have a problem with people contracting this virus in the workplace in that particular industry. I can say that with a high degree of certainty," King said.
Snell-Feikema said he has continued to hear from poultry workers who express concerns about working conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic. One example he provided is that when on the line, poultry workers stand in such close proximity that social distancing is not possible.
Poultry workers have also spoken to the Daily News-Record, but declined to go on the record, or even speak on condition of anonymity, about their concerns about safety measures at poultry plants in the Valley.
On his Congressional Facebook page, Cline frequently posts advice and information about COVID-19. But not once has he mentioned the outbreak among the mostly Hispanic workers at the Valley's poultry plants– part of the largest COVID-19 outbreak in his district.
Has he made the effort to talk with any of these workers?
As the representative of these workers in Washington, shouldn't he want to find out what is causing it (working conditions, living conditions or both), and what can be done to stop it?
Or would doing this raise too many inconvenient questions about the poultry processors who generously support his political campaigns?

Two weeks ago I took a two-day vacation. Due to Covid I didn't dare to go away that far yet. But I managed to book a night in a hotel on the Island of Borkum in Germany. It turned out later on that the room had become vacant because of the pandemic. Lucky me, although it was somewhat expensive according to my standards. I spent two lovely days at Borkum. On the first day I went on a cycling tour. It became so windy in the evening and the next day, that I decided to take part in a walk on the beach, and afterwards had a look around, on foot, in the "town". I travelled back home towards the evening. A lovely island, but after two days I think I had seen already a lot. I especially loved the beach, that was really on walking distance, and the area outside the busy city center.
I was quite intrigued when entering my hotel and finding this sign outside the breakfast room: "Salon Prinzessin Eitel Friedrich". The lady at the reception didn't know the story, but online I figured out the hotel was built in 1907 and named Hotel "Prinzessin Eitel Friedrich". 1981 it was taken over by the hotel chain Upstalsboom. They unfortunately changed the name of the hotel.
The story told online in several places is that the Princess née Duchess Sophie Charlotte of Oldenburg, who in 1906 married (and divorced 20 years later) Prince Eitel Friedrich of Prussia, a son of Emperor Wilhelm II, for many years travelled to Borkum and stayed in this hotel. Unfortunately I was told by another receptionist the next day that that story is not true. It was just fashionable to name a place after a royal at the time. Nearby is also a hotel called Hohenzollern (built 1898).
I also discovered some royal medals and memorabilia at the Heimatmuseum. And I can tell you , there was at least one royal visit to the island. An information sheet proudly told me that His Majesty King Georg V of Hannover visited the island in the year 1857. However I haven't found any further information. The island between 1464 and 1744 was ruled by the Counts and Princess of East Frisia (House Cirksena), then became part of the Kingdom of Prussia and between 1815 and 1866 was part of the Kingdom of Hannover. Afterwards it became part of Prussia (Germany) again. I haven't found information of any other royal visit to the island. In 1902, Borkum was given the status of a sea fortress by Kaiser Wilhelm II because of its exposed location.

The answer is yes.
When I am asked if other law enforcement officers being killed in the line of duty brings it all back, the answer is always yes. It brings back the horrible shock and loss of May 18, 2016 when my son, David Glasser, a Phoenix Police Officer, was killed during a burglary attempt.
Officer Ginarro New from the Phoenix Police Department was just killed in the line of duty. Davey's department. I know the grief and sudden loss that is happening to his family – I've been there.
Those of you who follow my blog know that I post this blog every time an officer is killed in the line of duty in Phoenix and now where we live in Denver. I post this because I just can't go on with life as normal without stopping to honor and remember the sacrifice of Officer New. I can't stop thinking of and praying for his family, friends and co-workers. I know and love a lot of Police Officers in Phoenix and I have witnessed the wave of pain and loss that is now moving through their department. My broken heart understands the pit of grief Officer New's family has been dropped into and the struggles yet to come. I know they are waking up each morning hoping it was all just a horrible nightmare…….and then letting the tears flow as they realize it wasn't. Their world has shattered…..
and it will never be the same.
I relive these feelings every time I hear of another officer being killed and, when it's close, it's worse. The invisible cloud of grief in my house with Davey's name on it becomes more evident whenever we lose another hero.
Too many people don't understand that each death of a Law Enforcement Officer is a tragedy for all of us. These are the courageous people who live in a thin blue line between the innocent and evil. Police Officers stand between you and the people who want to make your neighborhood, your city, a dangerous place to live. They put themselves in harm's way each day for us.
When good guys lose, we all lose.
And we have all lost another hero. Officer New was a man dedicated to making a positive difference in our world. A man willing to stand up against what is wrong and help make it right.
Those of us left behind will remember and honor Officer New for his commitment and sacrifice.
The Thin Blue Line just got a little thinner.
Davey – Miss you more today.
Love you.
