'Mr. Loverman' exudes colorful warmth
There's a lot to fall in love with in Bernardine Evaristo's "Mr. Loverman." The main character immediately comes across as huggable and hilarious, the plot is captivating and addictive, and the themes artfully transcend intersections that usually stand as massive roadblocks.
Barrington Jedidiah Walker, referred to as Barry (unless he's being scolded), was born in Antigua in the '40s. Tall, smooth-talking, handsome, funny; he was the apple of every girl's eye.
At the tender age of 16, his soon-to-be wife got distracted by Barry's intoxicating charm, tripped over her own feet and fell in love with him – or as in love as a 16-year-old can be.
Shortly after their union, the Walkers immigrated to Britain. They joined a relatively large population of Carribean people who had carved out a slice of London as their new home.
Evaristo hit the nail on the head when it comes to basing her book in London. The timely references and clever integration of British culture are impressively accurate. The book blends the Carribean with London, most clearly exhibited through Barry's vernacular.
So far, this story of immigration and young love might seem like it's been told before. However, the complication that Barry is in love with his male best friend (or, more aptly his soulmate), and has been since the very beginning, adds an important layer of realness, imperfection and danger to the folds of the plot.
Throughout the book, Evaristo seamlessly intertwines the past and the present, turning them into living entities that interact with one another to form a holistic, 3D story.
The present-day chapters, set in 2010 and told in first person from Barry's perspective, are ironically labeled "The Art of " things that are simply impossible to master: marriage, relationships, family, being normal and being a man. Barry is often naive and aloof when it comes to many of these topics. But then again, so is everyone else.
Barry's chapters are encapsulating, witty, colorful and alive. He is an epithet of the warm and loving grandfather who tells the best, most rapturing stories.
In the first chapter alone, titled "The Art of Marriage," I had to put the book down numerous times to catch my breath and wipe my eyes. Many books are conventionally funny, but very few have the power to physically make the reader laugh. Barry's general flamboyance and candid internal dialogue are magnetic.
The chapters based in the past are about Barry's wife Carmel, and they couldn't be any more different from the ones centered around Barry. These sections morph the book from a novel to a striking work of poetry and are literally impossible to stop reading considering they don't have any periods.
These chapters are told from the point of view of some unnamed being – possibly God considering Carmel's deep, yet inconsistent devotion to her religion, or possibly Carmel herself – speaking to and about her during different points of her life.
These chapters are aptly titled "Songs of" ambiguous nouns – sweetness, despair, prayer, desire, power, freeness – that define Carmel's turbulent life throughout the decades.
In essence, "Mr. Loverman" is a beautiful and brave concoction of a plethora of topics, such as sexuality and authentically-flawed relationships, that combine to form a unique love story at the heart of it all.
The homophobia that Barry experiences throughout his life, despite the fact that he doesn't come out until he's in his 70s, is resolutely embedded throughout the generations like tar stuck to a smoker's lungs. At first, his sexuality puts him in imminent danger, then it more so puts him at risk of losing people in his life, and later, even in the 2010s, it is very much frowned upon.
The parts of the book related to Barry's sexuality are refreshingly honest, as are the parts that dive into the complicated nature of human relationships. Romantic, marital, friendly, parental – these are all explored in their truest forms. This prompted a lot of introspection; I learned with and from Barry as the story progressed.
This is one of the few books where I'll sincerely ask you to do yourself a favor and read it. It was nothing less than a joy to devour.

Fall is quickly approaching us. It's time to whip out your list for fall cleaning and get to work. These five fall cleaning tips will help you start cleaning so your home is prepped for winter. Ready, set, clean!
#1. Get Several Brooms
I have found that getting organized for fall might require a lot of sweeping. So many leaves come in the house at various times, so I like to keep several brooms handy. These brooms allow me to do a quick sweep, no matter where I'm at in the house.
#2. Treat Fall Like Spring
Everyone thinks that you can only get rid of items in the spring, but you can also get rid of items in the fall. Now is the time to clear out old items and get rid of clutter. Organization doesn't have a season, it should be something you're continuously doing.
#3. Ask for Help
The more people you have helping you clean, the less time it will take. Don't be afraid to delegate chores to other members of the family or outsource to other people. One chore that is perfect to outsource is gutter cleaning, and you can use Gutter Cleaning Troy to help. Create a list and check off items as you go. There is no right or wrong way to clean during those fall months, so just get to it.
#4. Get Out the Winter Items
It's never too early to start prepping for winter. Since you know the cold weather is coming anyways, go ahead and try to get ahead. You can get out the winter items like blankets, winter clothing, and even winter boots. I'm telling you, you're wise to go ahead and make this transition while you're already cleaning your home during the fall months.
#5. Dusting
The summer months seem to bring about a lot of dust. Take the time to do a lot of dusting during your fall cleaning spree. You'll want to take items off the wall and make sure they are dusted as well. Make a list of the things you have already dusted, so you're not doubling the work for yourself.
As you can see, doing your fall cleaning is just as important as spring cleaning. If you don't feel like doing a good fall cleaning you can always check out Simplymaid. You can learn more about Simplymaid by visiting their site. What tips would you add to this list?

Stranger Things Season 3 Review
November 9, 2020
The reason why I really like Stranger Things is because the show has many mysterious events. The characters are interesting with their new characteristics in every episode. I really like Chapter 8: "The Battle of Starcourt," because the episode has more action than Chapter 4: "The Sauna Test" where the kids fought off Flayed Billy at the Hawkins Pool Community's sauna.
I really like the 3rd season's plot, because the episodes are each full of surprises. When I was interviewing Ms. Marchant, she said, "My favorite character is Jim Hopper because he's an imperfect person, but he's trying to do the right thing." This quote from Ms. Marchant is true about Hopper's characteristics from the show. From one of Hopper's quotes, he says, "I've been stuck in one place in a cave, you might say. A deep, dark cave." He explains how he feels living inside his cabin with his adoptive daughter.
Audiences should watch Stranger Things, because the show has many plots for each episode to surprise their fans. My Stranger Things 3 Poster includes the whole characters of the show and the title card because this poster shows how the story will change every character's life in the 3rd season.

I don't know if I should start with the meeting in the Cape Cod conference room or the insomnia-induced emails that got us to that point.
Either way, I must include that Saturday afternoon, when I was interviewing for a job in a T-shirt and jeans because the offer for the interview came up while Suzi and I were house-hunting after she got a job on the Cape and therefore we were going to be moving from where we had been living outside Albany.
And while that was going on, my father-in-law poked his head in to ask if there were any restrooms in the building.

Government's institutional brutality (Part 5)
Part Thirty of a history of European occupation, rule, and brutal imperialism of Indigenous Australia, by Dr George Venturini.
On 29 May 2017, during an A.B.C. Q&A programme marking the 50th anniversary of the 1967 referendum, Cape York Partnership founder Noel Pearson outlined some of the problems Indigenous People in Australia continue to face, including high incarceration rates.
Mr Pearson said: "We've made progress in the last 50 years but some of the profound indicators of our problems – children alienated from parents, the most incarcerated people on the planet Earth, and youths in great numbers in detention – obviously speak to a structural problem." [Emphasis added].
Is that right?
Australian Bureau of Statistics data show that the Indigenous incarceration rate in 1991 was 14.4 per cent. It was 27.4 per cent in 2015. It was even higher during 2016: 28 per cent.
Indigenous People still amount to 3 per cent of the population in Australia.
Last year, for every 100,000 Indigenous People, 2,253 were in prison – an increase from 1,232 in 1991. For every 100,000 non-Indigenous People, 146 were in prison – an increase from 102 in 1991. This makes an Indigenous adult 15.4 times more likely to be in prison than a non-Indigenous person.
But there are a number of limitations with prison data collections.
To begin with, official prison measurements are point-in-time: they reflect the number of prisoners on a certain day in any given year – mainly as at 30 June. They do not represent the through-flow of prisoners across a year. Indigenous People are more likely to receive shorter sentences, and more likely to cycle in and out of prison. So it is likely that the over-representation of Indigenous People in prisons over the course of the year is greater than the official statistics suggest.
Professor Stuart Kinner, a Griffith University expert on criminal justice, found that the annual 'flow' of Indigenous People through Australian prisons significantly exceeds the daily number.
Before the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody handed down its report in 1991, there were few statistics on numbers of Indigenous women in custody. Data now permit a more nuanced understanding of the prison demographic. The Royal Commission also made a special point about the inadequate information in relation to juvenile prisoners at the time.
Among prisoners, Indigenous children and Indigenous women are currently the most over-represented compared to their non-Indigenous counterparts. Still, it is not easy to compare changes across all demographics.
One of the factors affecting the higher proportion of Indigenous in Australian prisons is the way juvenile offenders are treated by the justice system. 59 per cent of people in juvenile detentions are Indigenous. And Indigenous children are 26 times more likely to be in juvenile detention than non-Indigenous children.
A blanket understanding of increases in prison rates does not reflect the prisoners who are sentenced and those on remand. 27 per cent of Indigenous People in custody in 2015 were on remand – either un-sentenced, un-convicted or awaiting trial. The media time spent in remand in 2015 was 2.7 months. And between 2014 and 2015 the rate of prisoners overall in remand was 21 per cent – the highest rise in a decade. The rate of sentenced prisoners rose just 3 per cent for the same period.
Statistics can vary depending on the agency collecting them and the methodologies employed, leading to small discrepancies whether one examines the statistics of the corrections system, Australian Bureau of Statistics or other research bodies. (Data gaps mean Indigenous incarceration rates may be even worse than we thought, Thalia Anthony, The Conversation, 27 July 2016).
When asked for sources to support his statement, a spokesperson for Mr Pearson referred to data from the United States Bureau of Justice Statistics and the Australian Bureau of Statistics, and said that the U.S. has the highest rate of imprisonment – in number and by percentage of population.
In the United States the African-American people are the most incarcerated by percentage of their population: 2,207 per 100,000.
Indigenous People in Australia are the most incarcerated by percentage of their population: 2,346 per 100,000.
Therefore, the statement that Indigenous People in Australia are the most incarcerated people in the world is true.
Of course, it depends on what one means by 'people', which is a complex term to define and will mean different things to different audiences.
For the purposes of the consulted FactCheck, one was confined to checking Mr Pearson's statement on Indigenous People incarceration rates with the best available data on national incarceration rates in other countries.
Indigenous People incarceration rates in Australia were also checked against the rate at which Indigenous populations are imprisoned in other countries, as well as the rate for African-Americans.
One can compare rates of incarceration in countries around the world using the World Prison Brief, an international database hosted by the Institute for Criminal Policy Research at Birbeck, University of London. It reports the number of adults incarcerated per 100,000 of the total population in 223 jurisdictions.
Mr. Pearson's spokesperson was accurate to say that the United States had the highest overall rate of imprisonment in 2010, but things have changed since then.
The World Prison Brief now names Seychelles as the country with the highest adult imprisonment rate. That is based on data from 2014, which showed Seychelles had an imprisonment rate of 799 adults per 100,000 people.
The United States is currently in second place, having reported 666 adult prisoners per 100,000 people in 2015.
As a total population – including both Indigenous and non-Indigenous persons – Australia currently ranks 93rd on the World Prison Brief list, with an imprisonment rate of 162 adults per 100,000 of the total population in 2016.
But, as Mr Pearson highlighted on Q&A, one obtains a very different result when one looks at the incarceration rate for Indigenous people in Australia.
The World Prison Brief does not report the adult imprisonment rate for Indigenous People as a subset of the Australian population. But it is possible to calculate an estimate to compare to the international figures, using Australian Bureau of Statistics data and population estimates.
In 2015 the Indigenous population in Australia was approximately 729,000 people. In that year there were 9,885 Indigenous adult prisoners. That is an imprisonment rate of roughly 1,356 adults per 100,000 of the total Indigenous population.
Therefore, Mr Pearson's statement that Indigenous people in Australia are "the most incarcerated people on the planet Earth" is correct if considering Indigenous incarceration rates alongside incarceration rates in countries listed by the World Prison Brief.
But how does Australia's Indigenous imprisonment rate compare with those of other Indigenous and marginalised communities around the world?
Data on Indigenous imprisonment rates are not consistently measured or reported in many countries. Thus it is difficult to gauge how Australia's Indigenous imprisonment rate compares with Indigenous People or marginalised groups internationally.
Credible data are available for a number of groups in several countries: Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States.
And the following figures are reported per 100,000 of the adult population, not the total population as used by the World Prison Brief.
Starting with the United States, a spokesperson for Mr Pearson's accurately quoted U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics which showed African-Americans were the most imprisoned racial group in the U.S. in 2010, with an adult imprisonment rate of 2,207 per 100,000 African-American adults. In the same year, Indigenous People in Australia were imprisoned at a higher rate: 2,303 per 100,000 Indigenous adults.
In 2015 the adult imprisonment rate of Indigenous People in Australia was still higher than that of African-Americans. In that year 1,745 per 100,000 African-American adults were incarcerated, compared to 2,253 per 100,000 Indigenous adults in Australia. (By 2016 the incarceration rate of Indigenous People in Australia had risen another 4 per cent to 2,346 adult prisoners per 100,000 adults).
The imprisonment rate for Indigenous Americans in the U.S. in 2010 was 895 per 100,000 Indigenous adults in America. The imprisonment rate for Canada's Indigenous People in 2010-11 was estimated to be 1,400 per 100,000 Aboriginal Canadian adults.
One may calculate the imprisonment rate for New Zealand's Māori using statistics from the Department of Corrections and Stats New Zealand. In 2015 the Māori adult imprisonment rate was approximately 1,063 per 100,000 Māori adults.
To conclude: Indigenous People in Australia were imprisoned at higher rates than Indigenous people in the U.S. in 2010, in Canada in 2010-11 and in New Zealand in 2015, and at higher rate than African-Americans in 2015.
Mr Pearson's statement that Indigenous people in Australia are "the most incarcerated people on the planet Earth" is correct. based on the best available international data. (FactCheck Q&A: are Indigenous Australians the most incarcerated people on Earth?, Thalia Anthony and Eileen Baldry, The Conversation, 6 June 2017).
* * * * *
Almost one year since the findings of the Inquest by State Coroner Ms Ros Fogliani in the case of Ms Dhu's death were delivered, not much has happened in Western Australia to change the condition of Indigenous People in trouble with the majesty of the law.
In a statement, W.A.'s Attorney-General, the Hon. John Quigley said that the State Government was working to address the overrepresentation of Indigenous People in gaol, with the incarceration figures amongst the highest in the country.
"Western Australia's Indigenous incarceration rates are scandalous … the McGowan Labor Government does not shy away from this problem." he said.
He also said that he would be introducing "a package of amendments to the Fines, Penalties and Infringement Notices Enforcement Act 1994 (W.A.), the effect of which will be to reduce the number of people imprisoned for fine default alone. … "I have examined the approach taken in other jurisdictions in relation to jailing for fines and I will be in a position to bring forward a reform package to Cabinet before the end of the year."
The Attorney General also said that "the McGowan Labor Government has committed to introducing the Custody Notification Service." (Aboriginal woman jailed over unpaid fines after police call, 10 months on from Miss Dhu inquest, Sarah Collard, A.B.C., 30 September 2017).
Less than a month after, a Nyoongar 35-year-old woman was arrested for fines totalling $ 3,900 after a standard-practice background check was carried out when the police was called to her Joondalup home.
The mother of the woman said that she had called the police because her daughter wanted to speak to officers about "certain things." "They took her to Joondalup police station … from there they transferred her to Melaleuca women's prison," she said.
The woman was sentenced to two weeks in gaol but was worried for her young children, her mother said. "She has got five children … she doesn't want to be made homeless," she said.
In a statement, the Western Australia Police said that officers had no discretion when carrying out court orders. "They are lawful orders to WA Police officers to take into custody the person named on the warrant and there is not capacity for those officers to ignore or defer that order," the statement said.
Police also said that the officers had ensured that the woman and her family were treated reasonably and had "considered the welfare of all persons."
"In this particular matter, a review has been conducted and WA Police is satisfied that both the woman and her family were afforded all reasonable care," a spokesperson said.
"The officers who handled this matter conducted themselves in accordance with policy and met the standards required when dealing with these difficult situations." (Aboriginal woman jailed over unpaid fines after police call, 10 months on from Mis Dhu inquest).
The family is closely related to Clinton Pryor, who walked from Perth to Canberra to raise awareness of the plights of Indigenous People.(!)
At mid-October 2017 a 23-year-old Indigenous woman in Western Australia disclosed that she was being threatened with gaol over unpaid fines, under the same laws that saw 22-year-old Yamatji woman Ms. Dhu die in police custody in 2014. The pregnant single mother told NITV that she was being harassed by police over $4,123.45 in unpaid fines, claiming that police had been "banging on my back door with their torches" late at night, threatening to gaol her for six days if she does not pay at least $1,000 of her debt and causing her to fear authorities would take away her young son. (Heavily pregnant single mother threatened with jail over unpaid fines, Madeline Hayman-Reber, NITV, 17 October 2017).

Now that Aespa has TWO singles out , it's time to compare and see which is the better single.
We have the absolute BOP Black Mamba and the soft angelic Forever. I personally like black MAMBA more, but forever is growing on me .
black Mamba for me was just the perfect introduction song and the perfect debut song. It REALLY PUT AESPA on the map. And had all the locals scared for their FAVORITES. It just goes hard with every listen and gets better and better. Not to mention the video is super cool and FULL of visuals!!! I'll seriously never get tired of hearing it . And don't get me started on that choreography!!! Amazing, bomb, GREAT. And the fact they can do it live and it matches with the video- ooof the flavor and the pure TALENT.
Now on to Forever, I don't hate the song. And it's growing on me so much to the point I walk around randomly singing it. But it just wasn't what I expected from their first comeback. I really wanted to see Giselle and Karina rapping. But instead I got them both showing off their incredible vocals, which honestly I was surprised. Aespa literally has 4 vocals , 4 visuals and 4 dancers. Who's doing like AESPA!? nobody!!!! Although I would have preferred a more upbeat song, forever is the healing song we all didn't know we needed.
It's hard to really compare two Amazing but different songs. I do overall prefer black mamba but I do love forever as well.
What's your favorite of the two? And what are we expecting from their third comeback!? I just need the rapline to come through!!! I'm literally begging SM AT THIS POINT. Let my girls rap!!

Naples spent $47,412 on investigation that reached no conclusions on claims against fired fire chief
An investigation into claims of misconduct against Steve McInerny that came to an abrupt end when he was fired as chief of the Naples Fire-Rescue Department cost taxpayers more than $47,000 and reached no conclusions.
The internal review, conducted by a $245-an-hour lawyer, produced more than 700 pages of transcripts and other documents, which Mayor Bill Barnett said last week he hadn't yet read.
"I would rather spend the money building bigger playground equipment or resurfacing streets or planting larger trees," City Manager Bill Moss said about the $47,412 bill the city paid for the investigation. "But the fact is we're a very larger employer and we have to be cognizant of labor practices … and a sense of fairness to our employees."
After the fire union sent a letter to the City Council in October saying its members had unanimously lost confidence in McInerny, Moss hired the investigator to "determine the basis for the allegations in the letter and any subsequent course of action," Moss wrote in a memo to the City Council last week.
The action, Moss said, was based on a provision of the Firefighters' Bill of Rights that allows for fact-gathering before the city takes disciplinary action against an employee accused of impropriety.
The documents from the investigation, released last week, reveal long-standing complaints that union members had with McInerny. The documents also show how the issues came to a head last summer when McInerny hired a new battalion chief from outside the city rather than promote one of several applicants internally.
McInerny told an investigator in November that the "primary motivation" behind the union's action was his decision last year to hire Phil Pennington from Ft. Lauderdale as a new battalion chief in charge of training.
In September, McInerny passed on four members of the Naples fire department to hire Pennington. McInerny didn't interview the internal candidates, he told an investigator, and described them as inexperienced or without the necessary degrees.
Adam Nadelman, the union president, told an investigator that McInerny lied when he said he couldn't hire Naples Lt. Gerald Pecar for the position because the human resources department said he needed a degree.
Mike Nichols, a battalion chief, told an investigator that "the straw that broke the camel's back" was the hiring of Pennington.
In a five-page memo written by McInerny's lawyer, Robert Bates, in response to the investigation, McInerny claims testimony was shared among witnesses and describes the investigation as a "carefully crafted, selectively engineered and produced political hit."
Among the 63 employees in the Naples fire department, 50 are members of the IAFF Local 2174. More than two-thirds of the members took part in the unanimous vote against McInerny last fall, Nadelman said.
Moss fired McInerny, he said, not due to any findings from the investigation, but because "his management style is no longer suitable in the present environment, considering the current department staff," among other concerns.
The ordeal highlights how complaints from an upset union, which prompted the city administration to investigate, can spur a City Council and the city manager into action.
The union sent its letter complaining about McInerny on Oct. 21, a Wednesday morning before a council meeting. The letter set off a heated debate among council members, some of whom had previously expressed their own concerns about McInerny.
In a 4-3 vote last fall, the council directed Moss to look into the union's claims. The next week, Moss hired Vicki Sproat from the Henderson, Franklin, Starnes & Holt law firm in Fort Myers. She worked from November until March 15, when Moss fired McInerny and ended the investigation. She charged the city for more than 190 hours of work at a rate of $245 per hour, according to invoices.
As firefighters told Sproat in interviews, there were many changes when McInerny became chief in 2009. He met with battalion chiefs and told them the department needed to start classifying fires differently to adhere to fire reporting standards. He submitted expensive budget wish lists to the City Council, in which items were rejected. And he lobbied for a new multimillion dollar fire house behind City Hall.
McInerny came to Naples after serving more than two decades as a fire official in Ft. Lauderdale, a city with a much larger fire department and a much larger fire budget.
"He wants to be like Fort Lauderdale," Pecar told Sproat in December, according to the interview transcript. "Jokingly we call this … West Fort Lauderdale. Every time we talk to him about stuff, he says, 'When I was in Lauderdale.' It's always back to, 'When I was in Lauderdale.'"

A Tale of Two Banks (A True Story)
We hear often from our bank and credit union clients about the account takeover and fraud they've stopped using our ACH ODFI & RDFI Fraud Detection solution. Normally the movie plays out roughly the same: fraudster meets bank account, fraudster likes bank account, our ACH ODFI & RDFI Fraud Detection solution detects the fraudster's suspicious or anomalous activity, FI looks like a hero to their account holder, fraudster goes home with no money.
Recently we heard a tale from one of our customers with an interesting twist. At Guardian Analytics we are passionate about the concept of great security AND a great account holder experience. The plot twist in this fraud story highlights how the right protections can create the right customer experience that builds trust and loyalty. And lack of the right protections creates, well, something very different.
The movie begins with one of our customers, Bank A, a mid-sized bank using ACH ODFI & RDFI Fraud Detection solution that proactively detected suspicious activity in an account. Guardian Analytics' fraud detection alerted the bank to unusual behavior before any sort of transaction was initiated.
Based on the suspicious behavior, the bank called the account holder to inquire about the activities. The account holder confirmed that they had not logged in to their account at that time or from that location. He was thrilled that the bank was proactively looking out for his safety and was able to catch this before any money was moved.
Now for the twist: while they were on the phone discussing next steps, the account holder realized that if his account at Bank A had been compromised, it was likely his account at Bank B had been compromised as well.
He logs into his account at Bank B, a much larger national bank, and discovers that a very large wire transfer had been initiated through his account and released by the bank. He had to make "the call" that far too many banks receive – according to a survey done by ISMG – 76% of FIs find out about fraud from their customers.
One client, two banks. One happy ending, one nightmare. The FFIEC got it right. In their new Guidance for online banking security, they call for all banks to have anomaly detection as the foundational component of their security strategy. This account holder's money was clearly safer in the bank with sophisticated anomaly detection looking for signs of suspicious activity before money leaves the bank. Powerful protections and a great customer experience can and do co-exist.
Which movie would you star in? The fairy tale? Or the horror story?

To supply more clarity on Where To Buy Feals Cbd Oik… In terms of CBD oil expiration, we have actually offered details on factors involved in the shelf life of CBD oil, how to tell if your item has gone bad, and useful storage ideas.
A concern we're often asked is, "does CBD oil expire?" Like the majority of foods and dietary supplements, CBD oil does undoubtedly end. In general, the life span of CBD oil can range anywhere from 12 months to 18 months. Shelf life depends on a couple of different aspects, like the active ingredients, CBD extraction technique, and storage. Comprehending the life span of CBD oil– and how to extend it– can help you use every last drop.
While CBD oil normally has a 12- to 18-month life span, the exact service life depends on the list below elements:
Active ingredients: Ingredients are a significant aspect that plays into CBD oil's service life. Every active ingredient matters– each ingredient, consisting of ingredients, flavorings, and colorings, has its own life span. Preferably, CBD oil just has 2 ingredients: a carrier oil and hemp extract.
Hemp Quality: Starting from the source, it is necessary that CBD is extracted from high-quality hemp plants which the final product is third-party checked for things like mold, microbiological pollutants, and heavy metals as impurities can deteriorate the CBD oil quicker.

How Can You Tell If Your CBD Oil Has Expired?
If you have actually had a bottle for a while and are unsure of the expiration date, there are a few ways to know if your CBD oil has actually spoiled. Here's when you understand it might be time to purchase a brand-new bottle:
Changes in Color: If your CBD oil is pure high-quality hemp extract blended with a provider oil, it's generally a clear, golden color. If it becomes dark, thick, and dirty, it might be time to toss that bottle.
Funky Smell or Taste: Hemp is a farming product so each batch might have a somewhat various taste but must still constantly have that nutty, earthy smell and taste (unless it's masked by added flavorings). If it tastes or smells rancid, it's most likely ended.
Feals was founded by Drew Todd, Alex Iwanchuk, and Eric Scheibling who all met as co-workers in advertising innovation. The trio took the newly popular technique of selling their products directly to consumers and trying to make CBD more friendly and more effective.
" The marketplace is completely flooded with CBD items, however arguably the majority of those CBD items do not have enough CBD in them to actually make a difference," said Todd in an interview with Cosmopolitan.
Feals works with household farms in Colorado and Oregon that carry out natural practices into their hemp farming2. Feals' objective is to create the purest product possible. The extraction procedure is thoroughly curated to make sure the CBD oils are pure in look and taste.
Our bodies have something called an 'endocannabinoid' system that is comprised of small receptors that control our state of mind, discomfort, and how we feel on a day to day basis3. CBD deals with these receptors to make all kinds of advantageous changes in our bodies. To put it simply, our bodies are designed to gain from CBD.
Feals CBD includes all kinds of cannabinoid available in the cannabis Sativa plant. This pressure of marijuana is defined by HealthLine to have "a stimulating, energizing result that can help in reducing stress and anxiety or tension and boost imagination and focus." Where To Buy Feals Cbd Oik.
Feals' CBD oil is "full-spectrum" CBD and thought about to be far more reliable than other CBD products on the market that utilize only the "isolate" cannabidiol.

The New Iron Triangle
Today, we face a strange, new "iron triangle," one that our Founders may not have foreseen -- but one that we must understand -- and break by voting in November. The carefully designed "checks and balances" bequeathed to us by those who wrote the U.S. Constitution are stuck on this triangle.
The U.S. Constitution created co-equal "branches" of government. We all know them, the Executive, Legislative and Judicial. The Founders strived to put in place "checks and balances," imagining their constitutional construct would stand the test of time. They sought to anticipate all possibilities, and discussed them in The Federalist Papers. To their eternal credit, these efforts have guarded our God-given liberties for more than 225 years. Today, however, we confront a new configuration of leaders and behaviors, some of which may go beyond what the Founders foresaw. The new burden is on us.
Before reviewing facts, here is a refresher on "checks and balances" -- how they work to assure accountability. Article II, Section 2, gives the president the power to "appoint … officers of the United States." In the event that a sitting Attorney General fails to perform his constitutional duties in ways that lack transparency, truthfulness, integrity or conformity with prevailing laws, the Constitution provides a President with full power to remove him. Likewise, a sitting President must abide the law. Since we expect the Attorney General to uphold his Oath, if a president's truthfulness comes into question on issues of national security or domestic law; if there are questions about his abuse of office for political purposes, the Attorney General is expected to investigate. Assuring checks and balances – until 1999 – we also had an Independent Counsel Act. That act allowed appointment of an independent prosecutor to investigate high-ranking officials, beyond politics.
How else can we keep a President or Attorney General accountable? Under Article II, Section 4, if an offense by a cabinet member or president is grave enough, the offending official can "be removed from office on impeachment" by Congress. That procedure requires the U.S. House to vote articles, and a trial convened in the U.S. Senate. Of course, short of impeachment, the accused official could resign. President Nixon took that route. To secure impeachment, the Senate Majority Leader must take that issue to the Senate floor for trial and vote.
So, here is the way it is supposed to work: These "checks and balances" keep an errant Attorney General "checked" by the President and Congress – assuming the Senate Majority Leader will convene an impeachment vote, if needed. The President is "checked" by an honest Attorney General, sworn to uphold the U.S. Constitution and honest Senate Majority Leader. Finally, an errant Senate Majority leader – or any member of Congress – is "checked" by an Attorney General who, if he suspects criminality, investigates and prosecutes.
So, what is all this "iron triangle" business? Consider the current twist of history, one in which we are all stuck. What if the Senate Majority Leader acts contrary to law and the Attorney General refuses to investigate him, recognizing that this could open a counter-measure, namely impeachment? What if that same Attorney General's actions warrant impeachment, but the Senate Majority Leader refuses to act – since this could place him in jeopardy of investigation? What if a President -- who hires and fires Attorney Generals – is suspected of abuse, for example: persecuting opponents through the Internal Revenue Service, suppressing material facts on national security (such as Benghazi and information collection), or clamping down unconstitutionally on individual liberties – but the Attorney General allows such abuses to slide, protecting his own job? You have an "iron triangle" of unaccountability.
What would the Founders say about the possibility of "criminal equipoise" among top government actors? They would be dismayed. What would the Founders say about an Attorney General who takes no action against a Majority Leader allegedly giving $16,000 dollars in campaign money to a relative, and then separately taking campaign money from companies under criminal investigation? Instead of following facts, this Attorney General halted FBI involvement in the investigation of the Majority Leader. Why?
What would the Founders say about a Majority Leader who telegraphs that he will take no action against that same Attorney General for activities that should put impeachment in play? What would the Founders say about a President who feels no constitutional burden to inquire further into these actions – and, coincidentally, has a number of potential abuses of his own to explain? They would recognize the "iron triangle" of unaccountability – an unbreakable and indefensible chess move, clever and illegitimate – and they would be chagrined.
The U.S. Constitution – and Founders who designed it – assumed a modicum of integrity and commitment to the Constitutional Oath they insisted high officers swear. They assumed a degree of honor. The President and Attorney General take an Oath to uphold the Constitution in Article II, Section 1, the Majority Leader from Article VI, Section 3. Yet today, the very officials meant to check each other appear to be covering for each other.
So, what is the answer? The only answer is, for better and worse, found in the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. House of Representatives can – with reluctance– commence impeachment proceedings against the U.S. Attorney General, pressuring the Senate to step forward. The U.S. Attorney General could reopen FBI involvement in the case involving the Majority Leader, perhaps also accommodating concerns of Congress which produced the contempt vote against him. The President could suggest that the Attorney General step down, encouraging a new Attorney General to allow FBI participation in the Majority Leader's case.
Probably, however, the only way "We the People" will restore accountability is at the ballot box. Thus, we must resolve to vote out this Senate leadership, and vote in a new U.S. Senate, one that cares about fidelity to law and the U.S. Constitution. This November, we will have that chance – and we must not forget. This is not the end of wisdom, nor the beginning – but perhaps, borrowing from Churchill, the end of the beginning. Our Founders expected one other thing – they expected U.S. to care, even so many years later, and to help them get it right.

These photos of the USS Slater were shot on Sunday, April 6, 2014. The Slater was being towed down the Hudson river by two tugboats, one of which was the Tug Margot and the other wasn't. The pictures taken in good daylight were shot from The Walkway Over The Hudson bridge in Poughkeepsie, NY. There had been a doggie walkathon over the bridge that day and the bridge had been packed with people, although it had thinned out a bit by 5pm when DE-766 passed under the bridge. There were still so many people that with a long lens at between 400mm and 500mm the bridge was actually bouncing. Normally I would turn vibration reduction off when shooting from a tripod (this was a heavy sturdy tripod) but I had to keep VR ON in order to get a steady image. Pictures 11 onwards were taken from the public park on the waterfront in downtown Newburgh, NY. The sun was going down fast but fortunately the USS Slater arrived during the last few minutes of sunlight. It was a great day, and very exciting to know she was going to dry dock on Staten Island in preparation for hull repairs and painting that would make her seaworthy for another 50 years (hopefully).

Bernie Sanders: Here's why I chose Covington for health-care rally
When former presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders wanted to send a message to Republicans about health care, Covington seemed like a good place to do it.
Sanders, I-Vt., told The Enquirer he chose the convention center in Covington for a pro-Affordable Care Act rally on Sunday for multiple reasons.
The "Care Not Cuts" rally in Covington is part of Sanders' tour of states controlled by Republicans.
It's clear Sanders wanted to send a message to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in his home state.
"There's no state in America that would be harder hit by McConnell's legislation than the state of Kentucky," Sanders said.
Kentucky had the most success of any state under the Affordable Care Act, Sanders said. Former Gov. Steve Beshear, a Democrat, in 2012-2013 expanded Medicaid and implemented a health-care exchange called kynect, allowing more than 500,000 Kentuckians to gain health insurance.
Current Republican Gov. Matt Bevin is shutting down kynect and is seeking federal approval to make Medicaid a more limited program with cost-sharing and reduced health services.
Covington's location on the border of Ohio also made it ideal.
"We're concerned about both states," Sanders said. "We'd love to have as many people from Kentucky coming out as well as the Cincinnati area."
Sanders' rally will follow a health-care rally on the Roebling Suspension Bridge.
The doors of the Northern Kentucky Convention Center will open at 4:30. It's free and open to the public. Speeches will be from 6 p.m.-8 p.m.
Messages to McConnell's office were not immediately returned late Friday evening.
"People will hear from not just me," Sanders said. "People are going to hear from local folks who are struggling with health care today, and they will talk about what happens to their life if they lose health insurance."

Defense helicopter crashes near Aruba; 2 soldiers killed
A Defense NH90 helicopter crashed near Aruba on Sunday. Two soldiers, 34-year-old pilot Christine Martens and 33-year-old tactical coordinator Erwin Warnies, were killed in the accident, Commander of the Armed Forces Rob Bauer confirmed on Monday. The cause of the crash is not yet clear.
The helicopter was doing a Coast Guard patrol and was en route to Curacao when it crashed. Four people were on board. The two survivors sustained "no serious injury", Bauer said. Attempts were made to resuscitate the two soldiers, but it was to no avail. Their relatives have been informed and Defense wishes them a lot of strength in this time, Bauer said.
Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Defense Minister Ank Bijleveld expressed their condolences. "I think that everyone is shocked at Defense, in the Netherlands. We sympathize with family and loved ones. Truly terrible news," Rutte said to RTL Nieuws. He also published a statement on Twitter, saying that he is "deeply moved by the sad news" of the crash that took the lives of two soldiers.
"My thoughts go out to their families and friends. I wish them lots of strength in this sad time."
"Today I received the terrible news that two of our soldiers have died. My condolences to their family. We are all deeply affected," Bijleveld said on Twitter. The Defense Ministry also opened a public online condolence registry for anyone wanting to write a message about the deaths of Martens and Warnies.
A Coast Guard helicopter and a team of divers will help to salvage the crashed aircraft, giving priority to retrieving the black box. The helicopter was stationed on the Zr.MS Groningen, currently in Curacao.

North America Air Defense System Market Value is estimated to be over USD 4 billion in 2018 and is expected to register lucrative growth between 2019 and 2026 with a CAGR of over 2%.
Get more details on this report - Request Free Sample PDF
The market growth of North America air defense system can be attributed to the rise in military expenditure of the U.S. Introduction of new, technologically advanced defense system along with aging existing system will also positively impact the market over the coming years. For instance, in 2019, the U.S. allocated a defense budget of USD 717 billion, which was 4.9% more compared to the previous years. This makes U.S. the top defense spender across the globe. Significant amount from this budget will be allocated to modernization and acquisition of ballistic missile defense system.
The rise in political insurgencies between the U.S., Russia, and China will also positively impact the market growth. The U.S. is keeping an eagle eye on armed forces of these countries and is making upgrades in its defense systems accordingly. For instance, China plans to increase its navy fleet by 420 vessels by the end of 2035. In response to this, the U.S. is planning to increase its naval interceptor missiles acquisition to 25 LRASM per year till 2020, accounting for 85 missiles. Along with that, the U.S. is also planning to acquire another 210 missiles till 2025.
The Long-Range Air Defense System (LRAD) segment in the market will capture maximum market share of over 46% in 2026 due to increasing demand for threat mitigation from long-range ballistic missiles. The rise in political insurgencies between geographically apart countries including Russia and China is increasing the chances of long-range ballistic missiles attacks. To avoid such threats, North America is shifting its investment trend and increasingly investing in the acquisition of LRAD.
The U.S. captured over 95% of the total market share. High market share can be attributed to extensive defense spending and presence of major industry players. Majority of the defense industry players including Lockheed Martin, L3Harris, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General Dynamics, and United Technologies are concentrated in U.S., improving market competitiveness.
Industry participants in the market are undergoing long-term collaborations, agreements, mergers, and joint ventures to mitigate market competitiveness and safeguard their market share. Technological advancement is also one of the major aspects providing a competitive edge to the industry players. For instance, in June 2019, L3 Technologies and Harris Corporation merged to form L3Harris. The merger allowed industry players to secure their position in the top 10 defense companies of North America. The merger also allowed L3Harris to create a monopolistic environment in the defense segment, elevating suppliers' power within the industry.

The National Security Commission on AI (NSCAI) has submitted its second-quarter recommendations to Congress on July 22 to strengthen ongoing AI efforts in the Executive and Legislative branches.
The Commission reviewed and approved 35 recommendations that fell into six different areas, including:
- Taking various steps to advance the Defense Department's internal AI R&D capabilities;
- Establishing a strategic approach for identifying, resourcing, and fielding AI-enabled applications for operational challenges;
- Expanding government programs to increase the scale of the Federal government's efforts to train and recruit a skilled workforce;
- Considering and implementing new controls U.S. emerging technology;
- Improving the State Department's infrastructure by reorienting diplomacy around AI; and
- Recommending that departments and agencies implement guidelines for "ethical and responsible development and fielding of AI using a Key Considerations paradigm."
"The Commissioners are all of the same mind that the U.S. government has to organize, resource and train to understand and employ AI-enabled technologies," NSCAI Vice Chair Robert Work said. "It will affect our economic competitiveness, it will affect our national security competitiveness, it will improve the lives of our citizens. And we want to do all those things ethically, responsibly and in close partnership with private sector, academia, non-governmental organizations and international partners. And we believe these recommendations will advance all these efforts."
NSCAI is an independent Federal agency that began in March 2019. Along with the recommendations on AI to the Executive and Legislative branches, NSCAI makes recommendations on integrating AI into national security programs.

All construction companies, in some form or other, possess an accounting system that collects and reports the data necessary to prepare company financial statements. Unfortunately, we often find that accounting systems fail to collect and provide the data necessary to effectively manage the company's construction projects. An effective accounting system must provide data for the company as a whole, for each project, and for each piece of heavy equipment. Accounting systems that fail to report this data quickly enough for management to analyze and make corrections in a timely manner is simply reporting costs.
For cost controls to function effectively, management should analyze accounting data and take corrective action in a timely manner. This can only occur when the data itself is timely, e.g. committed costs are entered into the purchase order system before the issuance of purchase orders. The profitability of the project can be preserved and enhanced if cost overruns and other issues such as waste are identified and addressed early in the construction process. We find that this proactive approach is an unmistakable attribute of the 'best in class' companies.
The following key components indicates the accounting system is designed to provide management with quality information to proactively control costs:
- Estimated costs, cost-to-date and committed costs are all updated at least weekly, for both job costing and equipment tracking.
- Reports are optimized for quick identification of problems. Ideally, 'management by exception', the flagging of transactions or situations that fall outside expected norms, limits or expectations, is utilized.
- The individuals responsible for each step of the recording and reporting process are clearly identified, and strict controls and procedures are in place to reinforce the reliability of the data.
- The reports are accessible to all levels of production management, including front-line supervisors. Preferably, the accounting software 'spits out' the needed data and reports on demand.
The design of any effective system of controls should take into account the trade-off between needs of management and the costs of implementing and maintaining the system. Management will have to decide on the proper level of detail for the job cost system, based on the size and complexity of the jobs performed, while recognizing that projects can quickly get out of control without timely information.
The best strategies for business and personal growth and success are specific to your business and personal situation. Your plan must be tailored to fit your unique circumstances.

The Laboratory for Comparative Immunology analyzes basic mechanisms of the innate immune response against bacterial or viral pathogens in different animal models (rainbow trout, rabbit, and swine) in comparative approach with a special focus on the interaction of epithelial cells with different leukocytes in the initial immune response and in the regulation of resistance mechanisms. Using modern methods (flow cytometry, gene expression analysis), we investigate the functional role of different leukocyte populations in the kinetic of immune responses. To identify functional leukocyte populations we develop monoclonal antibodies against differentiation markers especially for rainbow trout.
Moreover, we perform basis research to develop new vaccination approaches (oral vaccination of fish with bacterial "outer membrane vesicles; OMV" recombinant dual vaccine against RHDV1 and RHDV2 of rabbits). Here we aim to characterize the vaccination-induced immune response especially in juveniles and the possible influence of maternal antibodies and/or juvenile resistance on the development of a protective immune response.
Rainbow trout
- Identification and functional characterization of leukocytes populations with newly established monoclonal antibodies against differentiation marker
- Development of principle solutions for oral vaccination against bacterial and viral pathogens
- Characterization of the mucosal and systemic immune response after oral vaccination
- Development of a recombinant dual vaccine against RHDV1 and RHDV2
- Characterization of the influence of maternal antibodies and juvenile Resistance on the kinetics of protective immune responses after vaccination of juvenile rabbits
- Identification and functional characterization of rare immune cell populations (ILC)

On Wednesday, Republican representatives voted to strip Rep. Liz Cheney of her leadership position within the party's House delegation, a move that represents a significant step by a political party that has precedents in U.S. history. The Onion looks back at the history of U.S. politicians being punished by their own political party.
Americans Describe What It's Like Surviving A Mass Shooting
- Sen. Thomas J. Dodd (D): Censured in 1967 for spending campaign funds on personal use in the days before there were more clever legal ways for senators to do that.
- Rep. Charles Diggs (D): A Michigan representative censured for mail fraud, which everyone agreed was an incredibly lame crime to be caught doing.
- Rep. Theodore Stanton (R): Expelled from Republican Party in 1894 when they found out he'd spent the last 12 years in Congress representing Franklin, a state that didn't exist.
- Sen. John L. McLaurin (D): Censured in 1902 for getting his ass kicked on the Senate floor by fellow Senator Benjamin Tillman.
- Rep. Bob Ney (R): Kicked out of Congress for being the one who went too far with the Jack Abramoff bribery scandal and ruined it for everyone else.
- Sen. Barack Obama (D): Punished for his oratory skills by being forced to run for president.
- Sen. Huey Long (D): Investigated for electoral fraud in 1934 after author Robert Penn Warren urged him to create some type of scandal to spice up the second half of All The King's Men.
- Sen. John H. Mitchell (R): Charged with corruption in 1905 but died during proceedings, saving Senate Republicans from having to execute him themselves.
- Rep. Lyle Diggory (R): Removed from Congress in 1982 after it was discovered he'd been using his office to represent his constituents' interests.

Lately, my life has been so full of action – but for me, the most notable thing is a very simple fact: I've been happy. It hasn't been complicated – I've just been spending a lot of time silently giving thanks for all of the amazing things in my life, and I haven't had to want for much of anything at all.
Tag: happiness
Whoops. Also, Sesame Noodles!
OH YEAH, my blog!
Forgive me, friends. My only excuse is that at some point in the last few months, I've developed a life.
With that aside, life update: Work has been hectic but also great, and My Man (he has formally requested that I capitalize his title from now on, and who am I to deny Him?) and I have been spending lots of time with friends and family. Highlights include an awesome wine tasting, some happy hours and potlucks, and nights snuggling by the fire watching Glee with some of our buddies. Life has been pretty grand.
Some Things That Make Me Happy:

Go to your local MVD and pick up a study booklet for getting a driver's licsence. It tells you everything you need to know about the rules of driving. As for the other stuff, I would take a car for a test drive straight to a mechanic and he can tell you if the car is in good shape.

First you need to take driving lessons. That will teach everything including traffic rules and traffic signs. It will not teach you how to maintain a car. Then you must pass a written and driving test and be issued a license to drive a car.
Next take a community education class on maintain a car.
Consumption of fuel depends on the car some are more efficient than other. A car that consumes motor oil brake fluid and radiator water are not in good working order.
You can not learn to drive a car by reading about it… It's a hands on skill that you must learn by doing with a instructor!

These elections mattered, overturning Labour's landslide victory of 1945 and ushering in 13 years of Conservative government. To understand why this happened, we first need to understand exactly what happened. The devil is very much in the detail. Let's begin with the 1945 landslide (click on the link to view the result in full).
And with the electoral map of the same result.
There are perhaps two points to note about the 1945 result. The first is that the Conservative vote was not wiped out: the gap between Labour and the Conservatives was enough to give Labour a landslide, they still polled just shy of 40% of the popular vote. The second is the fact that Liberals polled 9% of that popular vote.
The 1950 result saw Labour's landslide majority all but wiped out (again, click on the link).
In the first place, on a record 84% turnout, we can see…

There is no way not to be awed when visiting the Florida Keys. The Keys are like nowhere else on earth in their beauty, peculiarity, their congeniality and their personality. It seems as though my body and mind instantly relax as I drive through Key Largo; just knowing I am going further down into the heaven called the Keys.
Route 1 is the only road from Key Largo to Key West and it is awesome. It passes through small villages, small hummocks of mangrove trees, intermixed with tiny beaches.
Fisherman, in shorts, cast for mangrove snapper and yellowtail, while boats with flat-bottoms and guides work their way through the flats in search of the elusive bonefish.
Everywhere, the water is a different and beautiful color: green, turquoise, sapphire, and beige.
On the left is the Atlantic Ocean, shallow and various shades of blue; on the right is Florida Bay and then the Gulf of Mexico; murky yet beautiful in shades of green, beige and tan. Islands dot the landscape in the Gulf, as do boats seeking pleasure or fish, or both.
The drive to Key West could not ever be described as bad. It is beautiful; something new around every bend or over every bridge, especially the seven-mile bridge.
Pelicans, ungainly yet graceful, glide beside your car as you speed along the highway. Islamorada and Marathon are the only places that slow traffic down on the way to Key West.
Just north of Marathon is a place where you can swim with the dolphins at the Dolphin Research Center.
Key West finally emerges. It is a bustling place with lots of people, lots of shops and lots of restaurants. Take a deep breath and plunge in!

These are songs of Tagore centred around autumn, a season that is split into two parts in Bengal. Early autumn is called Sarat and late autumn Hemonto. The first two songs are descriptive of Sarat and the last one of Hemonto.
SAY WHAT YOU WILL (Tomra Ja Bolo tai bolo, written in 1921) Say what you all will, I don't mind My time flies, and hours pass, aimlessly The wild wind stirs me to a song And spreads its tune across this deep-blue sky. That song has stuck in my mind. What nectar do I seek in the humming of bees? Whose sky-pervading gaze seeks me out And settles on my sight thus this day?
THE HEART WAS AWAKE (Hridoye Chheele Jege, written in 1921) You were wide awake in my heart But I see you in autumnal clouds this day! How was it you stole so quietly away at dawn, Letting only your dress's borders caress the dew? What song is it that I should sing? I simply can't find words for it now! They lie scattered with shiuli flowers under forest canopies They've flown away with the gusting winds in sudden showers. *** Shiuli-Jasmine
AUTUMNAL NIGHTS (Himer Raate, 1927) On such cool autumnal nights Hemonto hides heaven's lamps with its cloak. To every house it gives this call, "Light festive lamps, make bright the night, Shine your own lights, illuminate the world." Gardens are flowerless now; cuckoos sing no more; Kash reed flowers keep falling by riverbanks, But let go of darkness, despair and misery; light festive lamps-- Shine your own lights and proclaim the triumph of light The gods look on — sons and daughters of earth, arise, Illuminating the night, Darkness may descend and day end but light festive lamps, Shine your own light and triumph over this dark night *** Hemonto-Late autumn Kash-Long grass
Below is a Youtube upload of Autumnal night or Himer Raate sung by the legendary singer Debabrata Biswas (1911-1980)
Fakrul Alam is an academic, translator and writer from Bangladesh. He has translated works of Jibonananda Das and Rabindranath Tagore into English and is the recipient of Bangla Academy Literary Award (2012) for translation and SAARC Literary Award (2012).

One to go before the postseason
Some teams found their playoff hopes precarious after the results in Week 16. Cleveland, do you hear us? Let's look at the NFL lineup and see which teams made moves heading into the final regular-season week of play…
32. Jacksonville Jaguars: 1-14 (Last week: 31)
Horrendous. Awful. Stunningly bad. And their reward is the No. 1 overall pick. How about an NFL Draft lottery? Nooooooooooooo, says Jaguars management.
31. New York Jets: 2-13 (Last week: 30)
Nothing like winning back-to-back games and losing a shot at the No. 1 overall pick… when you realize they were playing for pride.
30. Detroit Lions 5-10 (Last week: 26)
The Lions were humiliated by Tampa Bay. How this team has five wins is stunning.
29. Philadelphia Eagles: 4-10-1 (Last week: 16)
The Eagles are eliminated from the playoffs in an awful division. Doug Pederson has to be feeling the heat.
28. Atlanta Falcons: 4-11 (Last week: 29)
The Falcons looked like they were playing to keep Raheem Morris as coach. And then Patrick Mahomes wrecked a superb effort, while Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo proved mortal.
27. Denver Broncos: 5-10 (Last week: 21)
Another week, another close loss for Denver. Vic Fangio can't be comfortable because a double-digit loss season has to make John Elway and management restless.
26. New York Giants: 5-10 (Last week: 20)
The Giants' four-game winning streak is a faded memory. As in forget it happened. This division is horrendous.
25. Minnesota Vikings: 6-9 (Last week: 17)
Will Mike Zimmer be back in 2021? Every team has battled COVID-19 and injuries. Minnesota has done it poorly.
24. Las Vegas Raiders: 7-8 (Last week: 25)
Jon Gruden's time with the Raiders has not produced much joy. In fact, misery is far more like it.
23. Houston Texans: 4-11 (Last week: 19)
J.J. Watt was honest as he could (and should) be when proclaiming after the loss to the Bengals that the Texans are not delivering for their fans.
22. Cincinnati Bengals: 4-10-1 (Last Week 28)
Different quarterbacks produced wins in a six-day span for the Bengals.
21. Washington Football Team: 6-9 (Last week: 14)
Have to think Dwayne Haskins' future—if there is one—is not in Washington.
20. New England Patriots: 6-9 (Last week 18)
One more week of misery for the New England Patriots (and their fans) in the 2020 regular season.
19. Carolina Panthers: 5-10 ( Last week: 22)
The Panthers went into Washington and shut down the Football Team that had everything to play for and failed.
18. Los Angeles Chargers: 6-9 (Last week: 24)
The Chargers won another close game. Will it be enough to bring Anthony Lynn back in 2021?
17. San Francisco 49ers: 6-9 (Last week: 27)
The Niners came up with a win in a game that meant a lot to quarterback C.J. Beathard. It was well done and showed heart.
16. Dallas Cowboys: 6-9 (Last week: 23)
Andy Dalton and the Cowboys somehow go into Week 17 with a chance to win the NFC East.
15. Arizona Cardinals: 8-7 (Last week: 13)
Beginning to feel like the only label Kliff Kingsbury will wear as a coach is "M"— not for a medium but mediocre.
14. Cleveland Browns: 10-5 (Last week: 11)
The Browns were besieged by COVID-19, fell way behind the Jets…only to rally and see it fall short. This would be crushing if the team finishes the second with a pair of losses and misses the playoffs.
13. Chicago Bears: 8-7 (Last week: 15)
The Bears are somehow hoping to become the third team to endure a six-game losing streak and make the playoffs. It could actually happen.
12. Indianapolis Colts: 10-5 (Last week: 6)
The Colts looked like they were on their way to an 11th win when everything fell apart against Pittsburgh. That's a tough loss as the Steelers rallied to clock the Colts.
11. Miami Dolphins: 10-5 (Last week: 12)
Brian Flores' move to Ryan Fitzpatrick was brilliant. Now, Tua Tagovailoa gets the start in Week 17? Fitzpatrick better stay warm in the bullpen.
10. Los Angeles Rams: 9-6 (Last week: 32)
The Rams are looking at the possibility of starting John Wolford for an injured Jared Goff in Week 17. A loss could knock Los Angeles out of a playoff spot and into the offseason. They could not have seen that coming heading into the Jets' game in Week 15. Talk about a reality check.
9. Baltimore Ravens: 10-5 (Last week: 10)
The Colts did what they had to in order to keep playoff hopes alive by dropping the Giants. They got help in other places, too, as the Colts and Browns each lost.
8. Tennessee Titans: 10-5 (Last week: 5)
The Titans had a chance to clinch the AFC South, but whiffed big-time in Green Bay.
7. Pittsburgh Steelers: 12-3 (Last week: 8)
Talk about a comeback at the perfect time, the Steelers woke up after two losses—and seemingly on their way to a third—and now have to be considered dangerous, again. Imagine being the Cleveland Browns and having to play them next week and hope for a playoff spot…
6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10-5 (Last week: 7)
Tom Brady only had to play a half as the Buccaneers devoured the Lions. This team seems to be coming together at the right time.
5. New Orleans Saints: 11-4 (Last week: 9)
Alvin Kamara and the Saints had quite the Christmas. Six touchdowns for the running back. Stunning effort all around in vanquishing the Vikings.
4. Seattle Seahawks: 11-4 (Last week: 4)
The Seahawks are NFC West champions and their defense is playing its best ball of the season. Just ask the Rams.
3. Buffalo Bills: 12-3 (Last week: 3)
The Bills swept the Patriots for the first time since 1999 and are rolling into the last week of the season—it'll be interesting to see if they can carry that momentum into the playoffs.
2. Green Bay Packers: 12-3 (Last week: 2)
A victory against the Bears in the regular-season finale would mean Matt LaFleur is going to go 13-3 in each of his first two seasons.
1. Kansas City Chiefs: 14-1 (Last week: 1)
It wasn't pretty, but the Chiefs outlasted the Falcons and now have the bye and home-field in the AFC (as long as they are around).

There are a lot of gases that could be inside your Miami house. Natural gas and gases that come from residential fixtures, flooring and paints. Not a one of them are as dangerous as carbon monoxide.
Reach Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning at 305-440-1505 now to get started defending your loved ones against this toxic gas.
Carbon monoxide might be a big deal, so it's not a situation to joke about.
Carbon monoxide is deadly because you cannot see it, sense it with your nose or detect it with your taste buds. It's not as dangerous in low concentrations and can't be filtered.
Carbon monoxide is a side effect of burnt fuel. It can filter into your home during the winter if the heat exchanger on your gas furnace breaks. While it depends on how considerable the leak is and the airflow in a house, it could become deadly in within minutes.
Once breathed in, carbon monoxide has a half-life of around five hours. If you are breathing pure air, you will need five hours to get it out of your body. You will need an additional five hours to decrease that level by half.
It can also cause symptoms that can be confused with the flu, viral infections and chronic fatigue syndrome, among other things.
There's no point to risk carbon monoxide poisoning.
Here are three things you can do to keep your residence safe:
Carbon monoxide doesn't have to be scary, and with the recommended actions your house can be safe from the toxic gas. Take the precautions and call Service Experts at 305-440-1505 to learn more.

Hey there BCU Fam,
Today's podcast is about mental health and suicide. As a disclaimer, please be aware the content may not be suitable for young children and may trigger some who are especially sensitive to this important and difficult topic. Please exercise prayerful and extreme caution as you continue to read the highlights and listen in. May God bless and encourage your heart and mind today and always.

Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
BCU Fam, let us make sure that we continue in prayer for the families of those who have lost a loved one due to suicide, that we pray for all those who are going through difficult situations, and we stay watchful and in tune with God to see how we can be a blessing to someone in word and/or deed. Although we may never know it, our kind acts may encourage a saint of the of Lord who is weary, or bring someone from the brink of leaving this life too soon. With the help of the Lord, let's be intentional to do good to everyone in all our interactions, BCU Fam. Amen? Amen!

very fine sand made this one impossible on 7/30/17.Thank |
Previously called "Hardcore", this trail was rebuilt and re-signed recently.
The singletrack is part of Manchester State Forest, and shares a portion of
the trail with the Killer Three Loop. Red Loop is shorter than Killer Three,
but more technical and has a few nice climbs that you wouldn't expect in
such a flat part of the state. The forest has a mixture of pine and
hardwoods, along with draping Spanish moss. In the spring, you will find an
abundance of dogwood, Magnolia and azalea dotting the forest, as well as
red fox, deer, and wild turkey. A very fun singletrack!
very fine sand made this one impossible on 7/30/17.Thank |
Nice trail to add in to your k3 loop. alot more sand and some steeper climbs, trail in good condition as of 1/5/13Thank |
Maybe I was on it maybe I wasn't. Nice signs, but conflicting one this way--> then one that wayThank |
As of 10-14-12 trail crew have been working to get trail cleaned new sections have been added.Thank |
I have road this trail. It's fun! Only a few crashes. Lots of sand, lots of roots.Thank |
