An appreciation of Adam Goldstein - DJ AM
by A.D. Amorosi, SPECIAL TO THE INQUIRER, Posted: August 29, 2009
Whether buying into Atlantic City nightclub or throwing the first pitch at a Phillies-Mets baseball game or spinning and mixing records for high-profile celebrity friends and fans, all Adam Goldstein - DJ AM - was trying to do after surviving a horrendous 2008 airplane crash was live his life and stay clean.
But Goldstein, a Philadelphia native who grew up in Rittenhouse Square, was found dead Friday evening at age 36 in his Manhattan apartment, where police found a crack pipe and prescription pills. He had been dealing with burn injuries received in the airplane crash and post-traumatic stress disorder he'd developed afterward.
Rock drummer Travis Barker, a friend of Goldstein's who also survived the crash that killed four others, had apparently recovered from the trauma. Barker has reunited with his band, Blink-182, which is selling out venues such as at a recent show at Camden's Susquehanna Center. Barker showed it could be done.
Mostly though, for those who knew his back story, DJ AM had been working hard to stay off the drugs that had marred his life nearly a decade before.
In Goldstein's case, it apparently couldn't be done.
He couldn't outrun the PTSD and his past battles with crack. He couldn't outrun the suicidal tendencies he discussed in magazines such as Glamour and The New York Times.
That's probably how he wound up dead in his apartment only days after throwing baseballs at the start of a Phillies-Mets game in Queens and spinning at the new Atlantic City club, Dusk, where he had become was a strategic partner.
You can't say DJ AM wasn't trying, however. He was selected to host an upcoming MTV network program about substance abuse intervention, "Gone Too Far." He also was staging interventions and was arranging treatment for drug addicts seeking help.
But show business was DJ AM's world - where he was the spinner du jour for private parties thrown by Jennifer Lopez, Leonardo di Caprio and the Ashton Kutcher/Demi Moore axis. But there was something touching about someone of his celebrity hosting a TV reality show that might actually help someone.
It appears that Goldstein just couldn't capture the real joy he'd brought to club habitués, dance floor doyennes and fellow musical artists since leaving Rittenhouse Square and schools such as Friends Central for Los Angeles at age 14. He just couldn't help himself.
Most knew DJ AM from his disc jockey-to-the-stars moniker or from finding him on the newsstand's gossip pages - what with his serial romancing of Nicole Richie (to whom he was engaged) and Mandy Moore. But there was more to DJ AM than being chased down by paparazzi.
If fans of Crazy Town's unsteadying rap-rock-electronic hit, "Butterfly," check the credits, they'll find that it was DJ AM manning the turntables and doing the scratching. Look and listen further and you find that his name in the metal-hip-hop mash-up stakes extend to artists like Papa Roach, Madonna and Will Smith.
The boy could spin. That's how he won his reputation, one he lent to the flashy Pure nightclub in Las Vegas before he bought part of Dusk in 2009.
In? Don't bet on it.
If h? H-to-the-Iz-NO.
DJ AM had chops as a scratcher and a spinner, plain and simple. Everything else - the gossip, the drugs - was beneath him. Nevertheless, talent couldn't win out and another worthwhile musician has apparently suuccumbed to crack's long dark shadow.

Succesfully having established an area utside of the mainstream corporate music industry, the hardcore scene (or scenes) poses a possible model for, or at least an interesting case study that might provide some pointers towards, the development of a sustainable alternative artproduction/-distribution.
Of course, the "good time" and entertainment aspect here is connected to the political message in the same way as the rejection of traditional (bourgois) aesthetics had a political function in the avant-garde movements, with the hardcore sound itself underlining ther content and general energy of the lyrics. However, whereas the strangeness of the avant-garde aesthetics was quickly taken up by the mainstream , the hardcore scene (sound), although it has evolved and has influenced other music styles, has been able to remain alternative and independent of the bigger music scenes (and therefore also of the big corporations)e e the y as ces the critical content of the works.

This is hard coded in the script, but can be changed if needed.) The script is slow, because it walks the git history commit-by-commit, but for this one time task, it seems to be okay. It took 5 min 30 sec to generate the file.

Home > Features > A calendar that moves flexo forward - The Noel D'Cunha Sunday Column...
A calendar that could quite easily be themed as Flexo Simplified is divided into sections that highlight the prowess of the technology. This includes: the substrates, the design, the artwork and repro, the printing and ink management, the sustainability quotient. And because it is a MacDermid Graphics Solutions calendar, it is also about the importance of flexo platemaking.
Embracing technology is not just an opportunity, but it has become essential in this day and age. Which is why the MacDermid Graphics Solutions calendar was created. The highlights: The screen ruling is 150 LPI and it’s rendered in CMYK OGV along with cold foil matt and gloss varnish as embellishment.
MacDermid Graphics Solutions, a global producer flexographic platemaking and printing solutions has printed 1000 copies of its 2022 calendar. The inspiration? To demonstrate flexo's capabilities as well as MacDermid LUX ITP 60 plate performance.
Prasenjit Das, the company’s cluster senior sales manager for South Asia shared with PrintWeek that "calendars are predominantly printed in offset because of high-quality graphics requirements. Through this initiative, we have successfully demonstrated that with LUX In-the-Plate (ITP) 60 plates and high-quality pre-press and printing, we can achieve better results with flexo."
Das is keenly aware of the new trends in the flexo industry. He speaks of high-quality graphics and run lengths getting shorter. Also, there is a greater emphasis on sustainability and a focus on environmental-friendly inks (water-based). In addition, there is a growing trend for printing with an extended colour gamut – CYMK OGV. He says, "Which is why printers are trying to limit their spot colour inventory." He feels the advances in flexo have been very exciting. These are the elements that have been poured into the calendar.
In a price-sensitive market such as India where every sq cm of a plate is a bargain. We asked him how he manages to provide cost-efficiency and value addition. He said, "The biggest challenge for any trade shop is quick turnaround time, reduction in wastage and reducing or controlling the cost of production. With the recent increase in solvent price, the situation has become very challenging for trade shops to maintain profitability." On cue, he talks about "the industry’s most innovative platemaking equipment – Lava thermal plate processing."
The kit- The highlights are: press-ready plates in less than an hour; eliminates solvents and VOCs in platemaking; advanced design and improved ergonomics; internal filter system for reduced footprint; automated lid lift for work efficiency; and LED illumination. One of the biggest advantage of MacDermid digital plates is that most of its plates types can be processed both by solvent and thermal system. This brings an unique advantage especially to trade shops in reducing wastage, take advantage of quick turnaround time, minimize solvent usage and control inventory.
Technology has evolved over the past 25 years, Das says. He says, "In the past, you could produce ten jobs a day. Today you can execute 50 to 100 jobs in a day." What about operator skills? Simple things like: process control; web inspection systems; plate making best practice; process colour and proofing techniques. Das says, "I fully agree that there is a shortage of skilled workers in India, especially in the flexo industry. Various technical institutions and initiatives taken by various industry partners by setting up demo centres, are going to play a very important role in bridging the knowledge gap."
At a global level, MacDermid Graphics Solutions has announced plans for a collaborative endeavour called The Flexo Xperience Centre (The FXC). The centre is a partnership between MacDermid and Soma and is an expansion of their initial plans to install a Soma Optima2 printing press at MacDermid’s facility in Atlanta, GA, USA, announced in December 2020. Das says, "The FXC will include multiple industry-leading partners providing software, equipment, and consumables."
The FXC was conceptualised in 2020 by the leadership, marketing, R&D, and sales teams at MacDermid and Soma wg industry for a wide-web flexo printing centre with every aspect of the flexo process, including artwork, pre-p
The mission of The Flexo Xperience Centre is "to move flexo forward". This global centreIn addition, ttre will be open to pre-media suppliers, trade s.
Das says, "We are very confident that Indian label printers, converters and trade shops will visit The FXC and take advantage of this world class facilities ."
PrintWeek was talking to a converter in Daman-Silvassa. The feedback: As compared to the earlier times, procuring a gravure cylinder is not as tedious, with a fortnight waiting period. Plus, the cylinder cost has decreased. In such a scenario, why should a converter invest in flexo?
Das says, "Both the technologies have their own advantages. It all depends on what type of jobs you are trying to print? What is the substrate? Plus how much is the quantity."
Also, a lot has changed since 1995. In that year, flexographic computer-to-plate (CTF) was introduced. carbonith digital photopolymer plates
And yet there is a common perception that flexo cannot match gravure’s quality, it can only come close. We asked Das, "how do you convince them to accept flexo?"
He says, By now most of the brand owners are aware of flexo quality and hence we are seeing more and more conversion happening from traditional printing to flexo. We are also witnessing big FMCG companies moving quite a few flagship brands to flexo. These were traditionally being printed in gravure.
When we posed the question about the challenges in offset to flexo conversion jobs in India; he said, the printing of the calendar with flexo provides an answer to this question.
The MacDermid calendar has been printed at Itek in Bengaluru and the pre-press has been rendered by VeePee Graphics.
One of the biggest advantages of MacDermid digital plates is that they can be processed as both solvent and thermal. This provides a unique advantage to the trade shop in reducing wastage, taking advantage of quick turnaround time and controlling inventory.
For example, MacDermid's LUX ITP technology enables flat-top dots while using standard platemaking techniques. It works on the principle of chemistry-free thermal processing using heat and an absorbent blanket to remove uncured polymer which is a much faster alternative to solvent washout. This process was originally introduced by DuPont in 2002 with its Fast system. The USP is: No drying is required, although a final UV blast is still needed to de-tack the polymer.
As the A-list brands seek top quality and speed to market, the challenge that the market faces is reduced run lengths and reduced lead times coupled with the increasing complexity of the print jobs. A flexo house has to cope with these challenges. For this, it requires a skilled team that understands the technology plus understands how to maximise it. This is where understanding the nitty-gritty of in-house repro and platemaking helps.

There are many reasons why running in the evening is better and can make exercise a relaxing and enjoyable activity. A moment just for you.
Less heat, less stress and even fewer people on the street. There are many reasons for choosing to run in the evening, as much as the benefits it brings. Few safety precautions and you can enjoy pleasant and truly wellness moments.
A healthy body, physically and psychologically, finds one of its main allies in exercise. Brain oxygenation and circulation improve with training; the feeling of well-being passes through the body in a timely manner.
And if we can do physical activity without worrying about the sun’s rays, heat or pressure changes when we enter the gym, much better. There are few activities that regenerate like running in the evening .
These are moments only for ourselves, when our body releases endorphins while gaining us in health and beauty.
Here are some of the reasons why running in the evening is better. When the daily chaos absorbs part of our days quickly, getting to the gym on time can become a real nightmare. If we dedicate the day to work and the evening to train and relax, the body will be more reactive.
If we have been on the move throughout the day and have also eaten several meals, the body will be active. You can start exercising feeling more energetic, as your body will have enough fat reserves, as well as carbohydrates and fats. By running in the evening, you will burn these fats.
Sleep will be even more pleasant, provided that you dedicate yourself to a cool-down before falling asleep. We must remember, in fact, that after physical activity the body remains active, so it is advisable to rest for a few moments, so that the muscles relax. In the morning, you will wake up in a better mood.
In the evening, you will avoid bumping into pedestrians. In fact, there are fewer people on the street and, therefore, there is more freedom of movement: in short, we do not risk running into annoying queues or the noise of the horns.
Also, in the evening it will be less hot and the worry of exposure to ultraviolet rays will lessen. The pleasant temperature complements the benefits of night running.
One of the main reasons for running in the evening is the opportunity to relax. Without the pressure of time, we can dedicate ourselves to eliminating the tensions that accompany us during the day. So, put aside the pressure of punctuality and thoughtfulness.
There are many reasons for running in the evening. However, to reap the benefits alone, a number of safety measures should be put in place.
First of all, it is necessary to use reflective clothing, with attractive colors, which allow you to be seen by others ; jackets or bracelets are ideal. This is especially important if you plan to run in areas where there is car traffic or if you are crossing particularly dark roads.
It is also worth running in the opposite direction to the cars. In this way, you will have more chances to react in the event that there are cars circulating in your lane.
A second precaution to protect your safety when running in the evening is that it is extremely advisable to know the area in which we run. If you are not sure if you know how to orient yourself in a place, it is best to avoid it. Better to discover new routes during the day, and then follow them in the evening, before venturing out.
Try not to run alone : in company it is always better, for several reasons. In case of unforeseen events, there will be someone ready to help you.
Also, running with another person is always an extra motivation. If you are feeling lazy and don’t feel like leaving home, a date to run with a friend is the perfect excuse to do it.
In addition, always carry an identity document with you. Do not leave your mobile phone in case, even if it is better not to keep it at hand, to avoid temptation. In addition, it is good to bring a kind of torch with you, to illuminate the path. This will ensure that vehicles and other pedestrians see you and also that you have a good view of the route you are taking.
Without a doubt, the benefits of the evening run increase if we put into practice some precautions necessary to protect ourselves. In this way, the entertainment and well-being that exercise gives us will increase day by day.
Burning fat, oxygenating our brain and improving circulation are some of the benefits that don’t go unnoticed. You will notice them from the moment you start exercising regularly.

Alex Guibord,.
The Canadian Dollar climbed to an 11-week high versus the U.S. Dollar this week, after gaining 0.54% since Wednesday and the gain over the past month now stands at a percent.
We find there are a number of factors that should keep the Canadian currency supported going forward, but the potential for a bout of political uncertainty on the horizon poses one notable headwind that might keep the increasingly bullish currency restrained.
Whilst geopolitical drivers have always been factors in the Canadian Dollar’s valuation due to the country’s heavy reliance on oil, there are some fundamental domestic reasons to expect a period out outperformance by CAD.
Recent employment data has been very positive, inflation is at trend, the manufacturing sector is bearing up well in a difficult climate and Canada was one of only two leading economies not to have its 2019 growth forecasts downgrad.
The latest labour market report, for example, showed the unemployment rate falling to 5.5%, almost back down to May’s all-time historic low of 5.4% after the economy added 57k new jobs in September, following 81k added in the previous month of August.
Canadian manufacturing data has bucked the global trend of weakening results due to trade tensions. Factory sales in Canada increased by 0.8% in August from July (mainly due to higher car sales)Inflation in most of the developed world is stuttering due to poor growth but Canadian inflation continues to come in at ‘just right’ with the latest data showing 1.9% inflation in September, which whilst a miss of the 2.1% is still in the Bank of Canada’s (BOC) goldilocks’s zone around 2.0%.
This now means the BOC is even less likely to cut interest rates in order to help stimulate the economy than it was before, and if this is the case it will stand out from the rest of G10 central banks as one of the few which have not had to ease in 2019.
As a result of Canada’s economic outperformance and neutral monetary policy many analysts are now arguing the Canadian Dollar should by rights be higher.
“The CAD is making hard work of what should be a pretty supportive backdrop, in our opinion, with last week’s positive employment report fresh in our minds still,”.
The market’s high expectations of the U.S. central bank cutting interest rates when it meets on October 30 also means that U.S. and Canadian short-term commercial interest rates are diverging in Canada’s favour, with U.S. marching lower whilst Canada’s keep the high-ground.
“CAD data continues to surprise, and the FX market can only ignore the fact that CAD front-end rates is trading above the US for so long. This may cause the break lower in USD/CAD if it happens,” says Bipan Rai, an analyst at CIBC World Markets.
Indeed, from a technical perspective the USD/CAD pair looks to be in a precarious position as it drills down through a major long-term trendline. For technical analysts breaches below long-term trendlines can mark major shifts in trend.
Not only that, but Thursday’s break below the September lows was another significant technical moment as it represent a break below the neckline of a potential bearish double top pattern.
This doesn’t just bode ill for USD/CAD but for all other CAD pairs too, including GBP/CAD, since in FX markets it is often the case that the USD pair tends to influence all other crosses.
Political Uncertainty a Brake?
One possible explanation for the misvaluation and lack of CAD upside is political uncertainty as the Canadian general election approaches on Monday, October 21.
Currencies traditionally hate political uncertainty so the fact CAD is not rallying should come as no surprise.
This is especially true since Opinion polls are currently showing Trudeau’s liberals neck-and-neck with the other main big party, the conservatives in the lower 30s, which suggests a hung parliament according to experts.
"Latest polls suggest that the Federal elections in Canada are likely to yield a minority government. The implications for the energy sector will drive market reaction but risks for the loonie appear tilted to the downside," says Francesco Pesole, FX Strategist with ING Bank.
Advance voting for Canada's Federal election on Monday has already begun, but the final results won’t be known until after the polls close on 21 October.
At the beginning of the campaign both the main parties could have commanded a governing majority but this is not the case now.
“At the beginning of the campaign both parties veered into 35-36% and hypothetically they could have formed a majority government, but now with both the front-running parties cycling down into the low 30s it is statistically out of reach,” says Nik Nanos a Canadian public opinion pollster in an interview with CTV News.
Monday night’s election may give an uncertain result which could weigh on the Canadian Dollar in the short-term.
"Between a Liberal-led minority and a Conservative-led minority, we expect the first one to be more CAD-negative," says Pesole. "The probability-weighted impact of the elections on USD/CAD appears to be moderately positive. In other words, the balance of."
Although the Conservatives under Andrew Sheer are poised to win the most seats, convention has it that the present incumbent, Trudeau, should also be given the opportunity to form a government if he can knit together a coalition.
Barack Obama’s recent endorsement of Trudeau may help the Canadian leader who has suffered a loss of popularity after the blackface photos scandal, increasing liberal voter turnout, says Nanos.
Whilst Trudeau’s antics may have got him into trouble with some voters, his stewardship of the economy has been exemplary, according to Bloomberg.
Since Trudeau took office in 2015 “Unemployment fell faster than in any developed nation during the 40 months that ended in May, to its lowest level since 1976. Gross domestic product accelerated to a pace second only to the U.S. rate. The stock and bond markets proved world beaters with the best returns and most stability,” says Bloomberg’s Mathew A. Winkler.
So whilst there is a threat of uncertainty, Trudeau is still in with a fighting chance to win, and if he does the Canadian Dollar would probably enjoy a renaissance on the back of easing uncertainty and faith in his ability to manage the economy.
"We believe there is a high potential for surprises, but the market impact will most probably depend on if one of the two larger parties - prime minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals or Andrew Scheer’s Conservative party wins a majority. However, the implied probability from recent polls suggests that a minority government seems to be the most likely possibility," says Pesole.

Safety: Little swimmers who swimming skills, but they can also forget crucial water survival and safety skills. Without repetition, these skills leave a child’s long-term memory and, when faced with a life-threatening situation, it is more likely that a child who has stopped lessons will forget what to do when it matters most.
Brain Building: Science has proven that practice does, indeed, make perfect. Brain imaging technology allows us to see how the repetition of actions affects the brain’s make-up. In order to perform a task, various parts of our brain are activated and create electrical signals to engage other parts of the brain. The faster these signals can transmit, the more “automatic” the task becomes. Transmission becomes faster through myelination. Regularly practicing a skill like swimming causes the same pattern of electrical signals to activate which, in turn, triggers the myelination of this transmission system. This is how you build aptitude, speed, and enhance procedural memory for a specific skill.
It is common sense that has been scientifically proven: automatic it becomes. More importantly, it means that at any time, in any season, your child will be more likely to remember and implement the life-saving skills he or she has learned when around water.

On June 12, as part of a legislative maneuver, Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives voted against and defeated part of a package bill that would have given “fast track” authority to President Barack Obama to negotiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The result in the U.S. Congress is still pending. The union and environmental movements in the U.S. have mobilized to defeat the TPP.
The TPP is a so-called free trade agreement, this one with 11 other Pacific Rim nations: Australia, Brunei, Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Vietnam and Japan. Secret negotiations for the TPP have been underway since 2010.
Fast track authority means that the U.S. president is authorized to negotiate secretly to reach an agreement which then must be voted on within two months with a direct up or down vote. No amendments to the agreement are permitted, no filibuster in the Senate will be allowed, and only a simple majority is needed to pass.
The TPP bill has been surrounded by extreme secrecy: members of Congress must view the contents alone with no supporting staff. No smart phones, computers or cameras are allowed, and members are not allowed to take written notes. Drafts of the bill will remain classified for four years after the agreement is adopted!
On the surface, the vote appeared to be an aberration. Right-wing Republicans, who usually profess their hatred for Obama, led the charge to give sweeping authority to him, while the majority of Democrats opposed the bill.
The TPP is just one of a triad of “free trade” agreements currently being negotiated around the world. The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is a proposed agreement between the European Union and the U.S. The Trade in Services Agreement (TISA) negotiations cover the U.S., the EU and 23 other countries including Turkey, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Pakistan, Taiwan and Israel. The TISA is an attempt to recognize the fact that “services” now account for nearly 80 percent of the U.S and EU economies.
All three of these proposed pacts notably exclude the so-called BRICS countries — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — which have attempted to counter the U.S juggernaut towards world economic hegemony.
All of these agreements are being pushed under the slogan of “free trade,” which, it is claimed, will bring prosperity for all. Nothing could be further from the truth. As Sam Marcy, a former chairperson of Workers World Party, remarked in describing an earlier free trade agreement:
“In the contemporary world struggle, the bourgeoisie still postures as the champion of free trade. But it is not the free trade of the old competitive stage of capitalism. It is the free trade of giant imperialist monopolies.” (“Free trade, monopoly and NAFTA,” Workers World, 1993)
In fact, 95 percent of the TPP is not directly related to trade per se, but to the deregulation of investment by multinational corporations — to their advantage.
Despite the extreme measures taken to keep the negotiations secret, a lot of information has leaked out about what the the TPP contains. Since 2013, WikiLeaks, an organization which has in the past revealed secrets about war crimes by the U.S and its allies in Iraq and Afghanistan, has published dozens of secret documents from the TPP negotiations, including the negotiating positions taken by various countries.
Nevertheless, details of the massive treaty, affecting 40 percent of the world’s economy, remain secret. According to Julian Assange, the leader of WikiLeaks, who is still confined in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, “Six hundred U.S companies are part of the negotiation process and have been given access to various parts of the Trans-Pacific Partnership.” (quoted in inquisitr.com, May 31)
Assange warns that the deal could give corporations a massive advantage with environmental and labor laws.
“It’s about regulating labor, what labor conditions can be applied, regulating, whether you can favor local industry, regulating the hospital health care system, privatization of hospitals. So essentially, every aspect of the modern economy, even banking services, are in the TPP.” (inquisitr.com)
An especially pernicious provision of the TPP is the establishment of unaccountable supranational courts that would allow multinational corporations to sue countries outside of their own judicial systems. Although the “Investor-State Dispute Resolution” tribunals mainly target the sovereignty of developing nations, they would also apply within the U.S.
The definitions empowering the ISDR’s are so broad that they could be used to attack everything from regulating hydrofracking and anti-tobacco laws to the regulation of multinational banks.
According to the consumer advocacy organization Public Citizen, the TPP pact could “expose Medicare to pharmaceutical company attacks and constrain future policy reforms, including the ability of the U.S. government to curb rising and unsustainable drug prices.” (citizen.org, June 10)
One target of the new pact appears to be the public health care systems of New Zealand and Australia, which, because of their successful control of drug and medical devices prices, have been touted as models for many countries in the developing world.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership, along with the other so-called free trade pacts being negotiated, is a mortal danger to the laboring masses of the entire planet. These pacts are nothing less than an attempt to make an end run around the fierce resistance which is steadily building among the 99%. That’s why so many popular organizations and unions are demanding: Stop the TPP!

I offer a wide range of customized services that cover nearly all of the areas of your financial life. Being independent allows me to get to know you, your goals, and your dreams. You will never be categorized or herded into a "Client Type Category" where you are sold a basket of services or products. I have yet to find any two clients with exactly the same goals, dreams or fears. Possibly more important is that you will always deal directly with me. You won't have to worry if the advisor you confided in initially will be around six months from now or even remember who you are the next time you need them. I keep in regular contact with my clients so I can better serve their needs and adjust their investment portfolio as they move through all of life's stages or any unforeseen events that eventually happen to all of us. The services I offer are listed below in more detail:
CONTINUOUS PORTFOLIO & INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT- I manage various types of accounts including Taxable Trading Accounts, Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, 401k and other retirement account rollovers, Coverdell Education Accounts, SEPs, and Trust Accounts through a discount broker.
ASSET ALLOCATION AND ANALYSIS OF YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER RETIREMENT PLANS- I can periodically analyze your current employer retirement plan and suggest changes to make sure you are allocated properly for your age and risk profile. I can also help you make sure you are making the most of your employer's benefit plan.
COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL PLANNING - Some people never retire because they are scared they won't have enough money to do so while others retire early not knowing if they have saved enough to support their desired lifestyle. These are very complex issues, but there is a way to know where you are financially right now and whether you are on track to meet your future goals. Comprehensive financial plans help you "map out" your current financial position, set future goals for retirement or any other major life expense or event, and simplify estate planning for your heirs. Comprehensive plans include an analysis and projections of income, debt, retirement, education planning, tax planning, insurance planning, and estate planning. These plans also measure the effects of inflation and social security benefits over time. It will show any deficiencies in your ability to reach your goals and suggest ways to overcome those deficiencies. Anyone seriously considering retirement should consider a comprehensive financial plan.
MODULAR FINANCIAL PLANNING- Modular plans are scaled down comprehensive plans that look only at a specific financial area of your life such as retirement, education or tax planning.
BUDGET AND DEBT COUNSELING- The biggest obstacles that prevent us from reaching our financial goals in life are lack of discipline through the use of a budget and poor debt management. How you manage these two areas of your life alone can determine if you will be able to retire with dignity or be in "bondage" forever. Unfortunately, most of our parents never taught us these skills and they certainly don't teach it effectively in school. Learning how to manage your money and be responsible with debt can truly change your life for the better. Married couples can develop closer relationships when they learn to work together when it comes to money. It also makes a great gift to a graduating senior or a newlywed couple.
LIFE INSURANCE SALES- I am an independent, licensed life insurance and annuities agent in the State of Florida. I am not an employee of any insurance company so I am free to find and work with the best companies and products on the market. I almost always recommend "Level Premium Term Insurance". Term life is very affordable and you get much more coverage for your hard earned dollar and rates have dropped dramatically over the last several years. If you currently have a "Whole Life" or Universal Life" policy, or even an old "Term" policy, you may want to consider a free life insurance review to see how much money you can save. If you have a family and have no or little life insurance coverage, rates for term isurance have never been lower. Just fill out an information or contact form for more information.
ANNUITY SALES - After the stock market meltdown of 2008-2009, annuities have become a popular way to shift investment risk to someone else while allowing your investment to grow tax deferred. You can receive a guaranteed income stream for life and an investment that is guaranteed to never lose money. These products are becoming more and more a part of a total diversified retirement portfolio and these new products are much more flexible and versatile than in the past. If you are interested in learning more about these products, please fill out a quote form or contact form and I will get that information to you.

The Tottenham Hotspur teenager shared a joke with the Real Madrid playmaker.
It was all light hearted, of course, but the former Tottenham playmaker couldn't hide his annoyance after being bested by the wily 19-year-old as Real Madrid beat the north London side 2-0.
Indeed, Alli is quoted as saying by the Mail: "I used to do that when I was young and get told off for it! He (Modric) was very good about it in the tunnel afterwards and we had a laugh about it. He shook my hand and said to me "You little b****r" – or something like that!'
Such has been Alli's form, Mauricio Pochettino may well need let alone simply want the 19-year-old to stay with the Premier League side's first team this season. Modric can certainly attest to his burgeoning quality.

In the wake of Pride, many brands and businesses have sought to ensure their image is more inclusive of all who fit under the LGBTQ+ banner. For this very reason, popular menstrual cycle tracking app Clue announced on Twitter that it was considering changing their product description from "female" to fem@le, and asked for comments from its users.
No. Do not remove scientific language to avoid "hurt feelings". We have a right to speak correctly about female bodies.
Women tweeted the page constantly demanding that the app recognises that female biology exists.
"Calling people “uterus-havers” or “people who menstruate” is also inaccurate, because Clue’s users don’t always have a uterus (hysterectomy) or menstruate (menarche, pregnancy, menopause, birth control)."
The recent surge in awareness of 'queer' identities and the claims therein of multiple available genders have put companies in a difficult spot for how to both address their customers and describe what their products do. Many businesses that have failed to recognise these identities in accordance with the new state of social awareness have fallen foul of boycotting and online abuse. However, as Clue discovered, complying with these demands and making efforts to be inclusive to all, will often alienate your initial customer base.
How businesses will choose to navigate this delicate field, and whether they can do and be inclusive to all, is yet to be seen.

Redistributing wealth is key to invest in the future
The World Inequality Report 2022 proposes several policy options to redistribute wealth to invest in the challenges of the 21st century. We present revenue gains from different wealth tax scenarios on global multimillionaires.
Given the large concentration of wealth, modest progressive taxes can generate significant revenues for governments. In our modest progressive tax rate scenario, we find that 1.6% of global incomes could be generated and reinvested in education, health and in the ecological transition. The report comes with an online simulator so that everybody can design their preferred wealth tax at the level of the world or in their region.
Modernizing personal wealth taxation
Estimates for a global progressive wealth tax
Regional wealth tax estimates
Factoring-in behavioral responses to wealth taxation
Box 7.1 Learning from past and current examples of progressive wealth taxation
The past few years have been marked by a renewal of debates about progressive wealth taxation. While progressive wealth taxes have been on the decline in rich countries, they still exist in varying forms in several countries, such as the Netherlands, Norway, Spain or Switzerland. More recently, some countries have discussed or voted in favor of the introduction of new wealth taxes (such as Argentina). In several other countries, there have been discussions about wealth taxes based on detailed proposals (such as in the USA, Germany, the UK or Chile). This renewed interest in progressive wealth taxation has been stirred by two factors: the surge in aggregate private wealth relative to national income (Chapter 3) and the increase in wealth concentration (Chapter 4). This phenomenon was accelerated during the COVID crisis: while national income fell, the value of private wealth increased, and this increase was particularly extreme among billionaires.
While the debate on progressive wealth taxation is gaining momentum, progressive wealth taxes remain an exception to the rule rather than the norm across the world nowadays. However, most countries in the world already tax individual wealth with property and inheritance taxes. You may recall that overall tax revenue accounts for 30-50% of national income in rich countries, 15-30% in emerging countries and less than 10% in low-income countries. Wealth taxes on individuals–including property and inheritance taxes- typically generate 2-3% of national income in rich countries, 1% in middle income countries and 0.5% in low-income and emerging countries: they represent non negligeable fractions of total tax revenue.
Property taxes–and their equivalent in various countries, such as taxe foncière in France–are by far the largest component of total wealth tax revenue: they typically account for 80-100% of total tax revenue on individual wealth. Property taxes generally take the form of taxes on real estate and land, which have been levied in many countries for centuries. In pre-modern societies, where land and housing assets represented the bulk of wealth, property taxes were a means to collect revenue by taxing those who could afford to pay. Today, in most countries, property taxes are flat, i.e. proportional to value: whether an individual owns a €10 million mansion or a € 50,000 flat, they will pay the same tax rate. Furthermore, property taxes are due regardless of whether the owner has any mortgage debt on the property.
In contrast to previous property taxes, wealth and income taxation in the 20th century were characterized by the introduction of progressivity. With a progressive tax, the tax rate rises as taxpayers’ income or wealth increases. This progressivity was particularly steep in some countries in the 20th century. In the USA, the UK, Germany or Japan, top income tax rates reached 80% (or more) a few decades back, while rates remained much lower for bottom income earners. In the USA, very high income tax rates were no one-time anomaly: Between 1936 and 1980 the top income tax rate was consistently 70% or more. While most countries have reduced top income tax rates since 1980, progressive taxation remains the defining principle of modern income taxation: the higher the income or the wealth, the higher the tax rate.
Therefore, the flat rate on property tax stands in sharp contrast to modern progressive income and wealth taxes. Let us be clear: there is no real economic justification to flat property tax rates in the world today. This is the continuation of archaic tax regimes in modern times, which could have been acceptable in pre-modern societies but which are at odds with basic democratic conceptions of tax justice today. In many ways, today’s situation regarding wealth taxation is comparable to the situation prevailing in the early 20th century before the introduction of modern progressive income taxes. The existing wealth tax system is archaic and disconnected from the current socio-economic reality, but many economic interests and political forces are still supporting the status quo.
The best way to modernize property tax would be to extend its base to all forms of wealth, rather than just real estate, and to shift from flat rates to progressive tax schedules. In actual fact, this amounts to transforming flat property taxes into modern, progressive taxes on wealth. There is a widespread misunderstanding in the contemporary debate about progressive wealth taxation: some commentators, opposed to personal wealth taxation, have argued that wealth should not be taxed at all, but they generally forget the fact that personal wealth in the form of housing–the main asset of the middle class–is already taxed, albeit in a regressive manner. Today, the wealthiest mostly own financial assets, rather than real estate and land (see Chapter 4), which in real terms means that the property tax represents a much smaller fraction of the total wealth for multimillionaires and billionaires than for the middle class. Transforming property taxes into modern progressive taxes, encompassing all forms of assets, would be a major step towards a more coherent and integrated tax system.
Relatively low tax rates on wealth can yield substantial tax revenue, contribute to spreading wealth better, hence increasing the wealth-generation potential of billions of citizens entirely deprived of capital. Progressive wealth taxes also contribute to containing the rise of extreme wealth inequality, and therefore help to mitigate the potentially negative impact of extreme wealth concentration, such as the rise of monopolies or the risks of political capture by financial interests.
But wouldn’t wealth taxes harm the economy? The first answer is that personal wealth is already taxed almost everywhere (with property taxes) in a regressive way. The second answer is that we now have a relatively good understanding of what works and what doesn’t in terms of personal wealth taxation, thanks to a wide range of historical and contemporary examples of personal wealth taxes. In a nutshell, given the enormous increase in the aggregate value and concentration of private wealth in recent decades, it would be completely unreasonable not to ask more to top wealth- holders in the future, especially in light of the social, developmental and environmental challenges ahead.
Below is a focus on the revenue potential from global progressive wealth taxes on millionaires and billionaires. These taxes could be implemented as a way to modernize and replace existing flat property taxes or be added on top of these. Our basic rationale, which we will further develop in Chapters 8 and 9, is that there is no sound economic justification for flat taxes on personal wealth when countries introduce progressive taxes on income – and even less so when they already implement personal wealth taxes. Here, we suggest three scenarios of progressive wealth taxation (low, significant and very high, see Table 7.2).
Table 7.1 presents the number of individuals in different wealth brackets in 2021, along with their total net wealth and the taxes they should pay according to three global wealth taxation scenarios. At the global level, there are 62 million individuals owning more than a million dollars at market exchange rates. This represents the top 1.2% of the global adult population. There are a little less than 1.8 million individuals owning more than $10 million (top 0.04%), 76,500 owning more than $100 million (top 0.001%) and 2,750 owning more than a billion dollars (top 0.00005%)1. Pooled together, global billionaires own more than $13 trillion, which amounts to 3.5% of global wealth.
Table 7.2 details the three tax scenarios we are considering. The rates presented are marginal rates, i.e. they apply to the fraction of wealth possessed between two thresholds and not to total wealth. The first scenario is a modest wealth tax proposal: between $1 million and $10 million, the rate is 1% and it rises progressively up to 3.5% for individuals owning more than $100 billion. This scenario generates 1.6% of global income in tax revenue after taking into account possible tax evasion and capital depreciation (see more below). Our estimates are relatively conservative, meaning that tax evasion could in practice be lower and consequently revenues higher (reaching up to 2.1% in this scenario).
In the second scenario (high wealth tax), the rate applied to individuals owning between $1 million and $10 million is also 1%, but it increases more steeply than in scenario 1. The tax rate is 5% between $1 billion and $10 billion and rises to 7% in the $10-100 billion bracket. On wealth over $100 billion, the rate is 10%. These rates should be compared with the average annual rate of billionaires’ increasing wealth over the entire 1995-2021 period: 7-8% (see Chapter 4). This means in real terms that wealth would have increased by 1-2% per year for billionaires in the $1- 10 billion bracket even after paying for the wealth tax. This scenario generates a wealth tax equivalent of 2.1% of global income, even when factoring in a fair amount of tax evasion.
In the third scenario, the rate applied on millionaires in the $1-10 million category remains unchanged but tax progressivity is even steeper than in scenario 2. Rates reach 50% over $10 billion and 90% over $100 billion. This would in effect ban wealth accumulation over $10 billion. The revenue generated in this scenario is equivalent to 5.3% of global income after tax evasion. Naturally, such a wealth tax scenario cannot raise such revenue for ever as it effectively prevents decabillionaires and especially centibillionaires from keeping their wealth.
Tables 7.3a-h present regional wealth tax revenue estimates. In East Asia, 13 million individuals own more than $1 million. Under Scenario 1, wealth tax revenue accounts for 1.3% of regional income and is close to 1.7% in Scenario 2. In Europe, there are 16 million individuals owning more than $1 million and 499 billionaires. Total revenue under Scenario 1 would be 1.5% of European total income and 1.8% in scenario 2. In North America, there are 29 million people owning more than $1 million and 835 billionaires. Total tax revenue under scenario 1 accounts for about 2.8% of total income and revenue in scenario 2 accounts for 3.5% of total income. In Sub-Saharan Africa, there are 240,000 people owning more than $1 million and 11 billionaires. Total tax revenue under scenario 1 accounts for about 0.3% of total income and revenue in scenario 2 accounts for 0.4% of total income. In South and South-East Asia, there are 850,000 people owning more than $1 million and 260 billionaires. Total tax revenue under scenario 1 accounts for about 0.7% of total income and revenues in scenario 2 accounts for 1.0% of total income. In Latin America, there are 1.9 million people owning more than $1 million and 105 billionaires. Total tax revenue under scenario 1 accounts for about 1.1% of total income and revenue in scenario 2 accounts for 1.3% of total income. In MENA, there are 915,000 people owning more than $1 million and 75 billionaires. Total tax revenue under scenario 1 accounts for about 0.5% of total income and revenue in scenario 2 accounts for 0.6% of total income. In Russia and Central Asia, there are 230,000 people owning more than $1 million and 133 billionaires. Total tax revenue under scenario 1 accounts for about 0.8% of total income, and total tax revenue under scenario 2 accounts for 1.4% of total income.
Let us stress the fact that tax revenue in each of our scenarios here is quite substantial. In scenario 1, 0.5-3% of national income is generated by tax depending on the region. This is considerable given that such a tax would not raise taxes for 98-99% of the global population in each region and considering that, in scenario 1, wealth would continue to grow significantly at the top of the distribution (tax rates are significantly below the average wealth growth rates observed for the groups over the past decades). In fact, there are only very few taxes which can generate significant revenue, while impacting such as small fraction of the population.
The estimates presented above include basic tax evasion with two parameters: a tax evasion rate and a capital stock depreciation or appreciation rate. Our tax evasion parameter defines the expected share of unreported taxable wealth due to the multiple forms of tax evasion (underreporting, offshoring, fraud, etc.). An evasion rate of 10% means that 10% of the net value of taxable wealth will not be reported and therefore that revenue will be 10% lower than what it could be, absent tax evasion. The stock depreciation or appreciation parameter helps to anticipate the potentially negative or positive impacts of wealth taxation on asset prices. Assuming a depreciation parameter of 15% amounts to assuming that the market value of financial and non-financial assets declines by 15% following the introduction of a wealth tax. The benchmark estimates presented above take into account tax evasion and depreciation (respectively 10% and 15%).
Assuming an evasion of 0% and a capital depreciation of 0% generates 2.1%, 2.7%, 7.0% of global income as wealth tax revenue for scenarios 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Assuming an evasion rate of 40% and a capital depreciation rate of 10% generates 1.2%, 1.5% and 3.8% of wealth tax revenue respectively. In North America, even in the most conservative scenario, both in terms of taxation rates and evasion and capital depreciation, revenue generated still amounts to 2% of national income. On the other hand, it could reach 11% of national income under the third tax scenario, and absent evasion and depreciation. Let us stress that behavioral responses to wealth taxation obey no law of nature–they are governed by tax policy choices (or lack thereof). The impact of wealth taxation on the overall stock of wealth also depends on how revenue is used. When recycled to improve access to basic education and healthcare, this revenue can provide an economy with a chance to improve its productive potential and helps to appreciate the stock of wealth. In chapters 8 and 9, we discuss policy options to reduce tax evasion and enhance the productive potential of wealth taxes. Chapter 10 discusses options on how to use wealth tax revenue.
Most European countries have abolished progressive wealth taxation in recent decades. This specific form of wealth taxation applied in a number of European countries had three main weaknesses. Firstly, there was tax competition (for example the French wealth tax was immediately cancelled out when moving from Paris to London) and offshore evasion (until recently there had been no cross-border information sharing). Secondly, European wealth taxes had low exemption thresholds, causing liquidity problems for some moderately wealthy taxpayers with few liquid assets and limited cash income. Thirdly, European wealth taxes, many of which had been designed in the early 20th century, had not been modernized, perhaps reflecting ideological and political opposition to wealth taxation in recent decades. These wealth taxes relied on self-assessments rather than systematic information reporting. These three weaknesses led to reforms that gradually undermined the integrity of the wealth tax: the exemption of some asset classes such as business assets or real estate, tax limits based on reported income, or the repeal of wealth taxation altogether.
A modern wealth tax can overcome these three weaknesses. First, offshore tax evasion can be fought more effectively today than in the past, thanks to a recent breakthrough in cross-border information exchange. Besides, wealth taxes could apply to expatriates (for a few years at least), alleviating concerns about tax competition. Second, a comprehensive wealth tax base with a high exemption threshold and no preferential treatment for any asset classes can dramatically reduce avoidance possibilities and apply to the truly wealthy class who by definition do not face liquidity issues. Third, by leveraging modern information technology, tax authorities have the opportunity to collect data on the market value of most forms of household wealth and use this information to pre-populate wealth tax returns, reducing evasion possibilities to a minimum. As a matter of fact, the recent wealth tax proposals made in the United States have a high exemption threshold ($50 million instead of $1 million or less for European wealth taxation), a comprehensive tax base with no exemptions, and aggressive tax enforcement2–3.

Judge sentences Joe Russell to 15 months in JailCigs case
"The price you paid for the risk you took was insane," said Aspen, who noted how Russell took an oath of office to follow the law. "Defrauding the taxpayers by a law enforcement officer or public official is an even greater offense."
The judge gave Russell a lighter sentence than the 36 months recommended by the prosecution. The punishment was shorter than the 50-month sentence Aspen gave Russell's former boss, ex-Rutherford County sheriff Robert Arnold.
Russell's wife weeps throughout hearing
"If you continue to interrupt, we're going to ask you to leave," Aspen told Lester.
Lester was supposed to be a witness, but she was too distressed to testify, Jodi Bell, the attorney appointed to represent Russell, told the judge. Lester has been battling depression, weight gain and anxiety since the case began.
Russell would also allow the family to better support the educational needs of one of their children who struggles with ADHD, Bell said.
Lester's father, Hiram Lester, sat with her, and escorted her in and out of the courtroom. He also testified on his son-in-law's behalf and talked about what has happened to his daughter since the case began.
"She's a mental wreck," said the father, who retired as a major for the Murfreesboro Police Department after a 40-year career.
Russell told the judge that he and his family have been devastated throughout the case.
"I'm genuinely sorry for everyone hurt," said Russell, who admitted that the defendants were "fast and loose" with JailCigs money.
Russell said he was proud of the work he did to set up the JailCigs business model in 2013 but admitted he should have been more transparent.
The judge, however, told Russell he would not have made $1.50 per each JailCigs sale without a scheme to defraud the government.
"You were an integral part of it," Aspen told Russell.
The judge prior to sentencing ordered Russell to forfeit the $52,234 in profits the defendant made from JailCigs and pay a share with the other co-defendants of the $52,500 in restitution to the county.
"Do not incur debt," Aspen said.
The judge noted that Russell could shorten his sentence through good behavior and also told the defendant that he'll be on supervised release for three years.

Russell joined Arnold and Vanderveer in facing punishments after getting caught sellingo without seeking contract approval for the arrangement from the Rutherford County Commission.
The three faced an initial 14-count federal grand jury indictment in late May 2016.

Investing in a quality home projector is now the besteir favourite content, especially at a time when some children will only head back to school in mid-February.
Projectors vary in features, technology and even size, so choosing the ideal one can be trick home entertainment.
1. Should I choose a laser or a light-bulb projector?
Despite being the newer of the projector kids on the block, laser projectors have transformed the home entertainment space. These projectors produce higher quality images, offer greater efficiency, and allow for more compact projection technology designs than their light bulb counterparts.
Laser projectors are much brighter and produce better colour and contrast over similar lamp-based models. Best of all, because they don’t use physical bulbs, maintenance costs are significantly lower.
2. What connectivity inputs does the projector have?
The next thing to consider when purchasing a new projector is choosing one with all the inputs/outputs required to enhance the entertainment experience.
While most video projectors available today have HDMI inputs, projectors with additional inputs/outputs, like Bluetooth and stereo mini-jack audio output, can be connected to soundbars, and they can project content from smartphones, tablets or even game consoles. This way, everyone can project their movies, series, and games from their devices.
3. Is the projector portable?
Families looking to make the most of South Africa’s warm summers by enjoying a movie in the garden, or even under the stars should consider purchasing a portable projector. Portable projectors like the Epson EF-100W/B are lightweight enough to move between rooms, place outside, or even take along on family vacations.
4. What is the projector’s resolution?
Most projector rD, at 3840 x 2160 pixels. For high definition home movies, consider purchasing a projector with a resolution of 1280 x 720 or above, capable of displaying content in a widescreen aspect ratio — the most popular form of this is 16:9. Of course, the ideal projector resolution is based entirely on what the projector will be used for, the room size, and the display surface. Be sure to discuss these in detail with the sales consultant you engage with when you’re buying your projector.
The benefits of having a home projector far outweigh flat panel displays (like flat-screen TVs). They provide an immersive, real-life viewing experience that TVs simply can’t match, and they offer value for money when looking for a large cinematic theatre-like screen.
Purchasing a projector for home entertainment is the way to go for any family that’s looking for outstanding quality, scalable screen size, and the best quality home entertainment that can be enjoyed from just about anywhere.

And we won’t always have advanced notice or we’ll have the same notice as everyone else and there will be a mad dash to the grocery stores and pharmacies, with a good chance that what you need will be something the stores are all out of.
1. How to Stop Bleeding
You need to know the difference between venous and arterial bleeding.
If blood doesn’t coagulate, that means the patient is suffering from liver problems and you can’t expect that bleeding to stop, it will continue forever or until the patient bleeds out. If you suffer from liver problems, if you have clotting problems, or if you’re a patient on anticoagulation medication, you should wear some sort of medical ID that will let first responders know that; it could mean the difference between living and dying.
How to stop a large vessel bleeding? You clamp it with a clamp, you put a thread behind it, and then you tie it up. After you perform the surgical knot, you release the clamp. If more blood flows, that means that you didn’t do it right. If no blood flows, that means that you’ve done it properly, but you should still tie another one as backup.
Practice these things in advance, on a leg of pork for example.
You need to differentiate between a new and an old wound. In the first 8 hours, the wound is new and you have many treatment options. Everything over 8 hours is considered old. Old wounds are no longer stitched and are no longer closed, no matter how big they are. The body heals without the stitches or closing, but it takes more time, perhaps even months. Still, they will close, with the only condition that they remain clean.
You can get these from the hospital and from environments that you usually come in contact with, especially through fecal-oral or fecal contamination, namely from your own stool. Germs are everywhere so the takeaway lesson here is that if you get a wound, get it treated immediately in order to have the best treatment options and prognosis.
Burns are cleansed with a commercial wound cleaner that comes in a spray bottle and should be in your stockpile. The idea is to get off any debris or ash from the burn and to prepare it for covering with bacitracin and gauze.
Take the suture holder in hand. It looks like a scissors but has a pointed device for clamping the needle in its jaws.
Hold the handle in your hand like a scissors but don’t put your fingers in the holes. Clamp the curved needle in the holder about halfway along the curve.
Use the curve to your advantage as you connect one side of the wound to the other. When you’ve made one stitch, tie it in a knot, sparing as much suture as possible. Then cut the suture so the sutured knot is about an eighth of an inch long above the knot. Continue every quarter inch or so, making individual knots until the wound edges are approximated. Do your best when it comes to flap lacerations, curved or jagged cuts. There is only so much you can do.
You can place Steri strips half a centimeter apart or you can lay them side by side. The scar looks nice and you don’t have any stitch holes to scar. You can stock up on as many steri strips as you want because they’re not expensive (less than $2) and you can clean on top of them afterwards.

Don’t ever use a wet dressing, because bad bacteria love having a hot and humid environment and nourishment. If the bacteria have these 3 things, they multiply like hell and then infect the wound. That’s why you stop the bleeding, because blood is their development medium; it has all the goodies that bacteria need to feed on.
The biggest danger of a wound is to reach the necrotizing fasciitis phase (fascial necrosis). Bacteria that is commonly anaerobic (it doesn’t need oxygen to feed) enters and finds a patient who has a poor immune system. This could happen for several reasons: liver issues, obesity, diabetes AIDS, alcoholism, or maybe the patient is old and no longer has as much immunoglobulin.
In conclusion, keep the wound clean. You don’t have to build a German Panzer on top of it; you don’t need a tank of a dressing. Keep it aerated and clean, and as long as it’s clean, it heals on its own. Look at the wound the next day and check to see if it’s okay before you wash it and remove all the dead or black tissue. It shouldn’t hurt, nor bleed. If it bleeds and it hurts that means it’s alive, so you don’t have to cut it off.

Some things you might add.
In a survival situation, you may not have the things that you have talked about.
Look for cobwebs or spider nets as a form of bandage. Penicillin comes from mouldy bread. Think poultice. Mouldy cheese is good too.
The military is taught that boiled honey poured on a wound while it is quite hot works well to prevent infection. A strong solution of sugar and water also works, if the honey is not available; think rock candy. They are also taught that urinating on yourself eliminates foot and other fungi. In Vietnam, quite a long time ago, Super Glue was used to close wounds.
If you have an infection, apply maggots as they will eat all of the infected flesh leaving the healthy flesh alone.
Does anyone wonder how all of those Pioneers made it across the Western US in Conestoga Wagons? They went from water hole to water hole or stream or river and did not die of dysentery. Were they just hardier than we are? Or did they have an instruction that saved their collective asses? The answer is, of course, they were all told to put a silver dollar in each of their water barrels. What the hell, that was in the 1850s to 1880s, long before electrolysis and colloidal silver; how did this work?
The oxygen in the water is attracted to the silver to make silver-oxide (Tarnish), but because it is in water, the silver oxide is suspended in the water. So…If you want easy to make, free, potable water, just put a silver coin or cross or ring or necklace into a water container 12 hours before drinking.
Army Rangers are given a canteen that is silver plated on the inside. Their instructions for use was to take any water source, put it in the canteen, shake the water, put the canteen in the sun for 30 minutes, shake it again, and then the water was safe to drink. That included safety from bacteria and parasites.
This silver solution is wonderful sprayed on for topical infections and taken internally to address any bacterial or viral infection including antibiotic resistant strains like MRSA and Flesh Eating Bacteria.
In ancient times, silver coins were filed into wounds of important people; the silver filings were thought to prevent infection.
poorman | January 24, 2016
I am told the term Blue Bloods refers to the fact that the rich ate with silver cutlery and this caused them to ingest small amounts of silver which kept them healthy.
MICHELLE MOWERY | January 21, 2016
KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID IS ALWAYS THE SAFEST WAY TO GO. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING CLEAN THE WOUND WITH SOAP AND WATER AND RINSE WELL. CLEANSE WITH PEROXIDE TO KILL GERMS. BETADINE SWABS ARE GREAT FOR CLEANING THE INJURY. SURGICAL STRIPS ARE WONDERFUL AND SIMPLE TO USE AND ARE VERY EFFICIENT. GET THEM NOW IF YOU DON’T HAVE THESE ITEMS. BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.DO NOT ATTEMPT SURGICAL PROCEDURES IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO IT..GET TO A DOCTOR ASAP IN ALL CASES IF THE INJURY IS SEVERE. DON’T TAKE ANY CHANCES.

In my practice is treat wounds every day. The key to healing is a low carb diet and regular debridement (cutting off the dead stuff)

You mention washing the wound. I assume you are using boiled water. In a SHTF situation, your water supply may not make you sick when you drink it, but could still carry some nasty little bacteria that your stomach acid handles, but that would thrive in a wound.
I remember when I was a kid (65 years ago) a wound dressing was often removed so the wound could “breath” for a few hours each day. Usually that would be right before the fresh dressing was applied. Was that a good idea? Or would the environment have a lot to do with what kind of airborne bacteria might be floating around?
BTW, thank you. Great article.
You should never wipe a burn. You pat a burn.

I keep cayenne pepper powder handy and put on cuts and bruises. The heat from the pepper draws more white blood cells to the area so that healing occurs faster. After a day or two, I then put cold pressed caster oil on the wound. The caster oil goes into the skin to the underlying area where new cells are formed, so that good new cells will form instead of scar tissue. The cayenne methods were used by Native Americans.
Sharon Devin | January 26, 2016
Cayenne pepper also stops bleeding. I had an incident where a girl at my house cut her hand badly on a glass she was holding as she collapsed from the heat. My son applied pressure to her wrist to stop bleeding while I dumped a bunch of cayenne pepper into cold water and we put her hand in the water keeping the pressure up. After awhile we pulled her hand out of the water and removed the pressure. Her hand did not bleed anymore all the way to the Hospital ER until the doctor examined the wound and opened it up. They had to call a surgeon to close the wound. We keep cayenne in the car now and on camping trips!

Very good article I have a slight advantage over the public at large. I am a retired paramedic/firefighter so medical supplies are one of my biggest preps. I stock more than my family will hopefully ever need. There are several reasons for this they can be bartered, used for others in our group, and one of the most important is having medical knowledge can go a long way twords keeping you and your family safe from others in a shtf situation ” don’t bite the hand that feeds you”. Other than my b o b I always Carry a fully stocked medical jump kit in whatever vehicle I’m in. The biggest expense I have found is keeping I V supplies stocked and in date. I am fortunate that I have some friends still working in the field so I can usually trade my supplies that are nearing expiration for new ones.
The most important things to remember in trauma is if it’s bleeding make it stop, and keep it clean. If it’s crooked and it shouldn’t be straighten it and keep it straight. If it’s moving and it shouldn’t stop it and don’t let it move again. One saying I have is air goes in and out blood goes round and round any deviation from this is a very bad thing and must be fixed. A couple of things I would change about the article is that arterial bleeding spurts not venous, venous bleeding oozes.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE September 1, 2009
Calgary Alberta, September 1, 2009 Tuscany Energy LTD (TUS - TSX-V)9.
Tuscany has taken two significant steps to position the Company for future growth. To provide capital to finance the development of its oil prospects in Saskatchewan the Company had taken the following steps:
. On August 19, 2009 Tuscany announced a Rights Offering to provide up to $500,000 of additional working capital;
. Concurrently, the company announced an arrangement agreement to acquire Goldmark Minerals Ltd, through the issue of 12.2 million Tuscany shares which, if successful, will provide Tuscany with up to $1.3 million of additional working capital, and
. Tuscany has successfully negotiated its line of credit at $3.0 million.
To provide the capital required to continue development of the Company's assets, and to manage our debt levelRights Offering wherebypurchase one additional Tuscany common share for each four shares currently owned at a price of $0.06 per share. If fully subscribed, this Rights Offering will net the Company $500,000 of new financing. The offering will close on October 1, 2009.
The Board has also unanimously approved a transaction whereby Tuscany will acquire the assets of Goldmark Minerals Ltd., consisting mainly of $1.4 million of working capital, through the issue of 12.2 million shares, subject to the approval of the Goldmark shareholders at a Goldmark shareholder's meeting anticipated to be held in early in October 2009.
Production, revenue and cash flow for both the six months and the three-months ending June 30, 2009 were lower than for the same periods in 2008. The reduced production results primarily from a year over year decline in natural gas production at Wildwood and Evesham as flush production from wells declined. Oil production showed a small increase for the six months ended June 30, 2009, however Q2 2009 oil production was lower than anticipated due to a number of factors:
. The Evesham Dina horizontal well stabilized at a lower rate than the initial flush production. The well is producing at a rate of 45 Bbls/d at the end of August, 2009. Tuscany plans to construct water injection facilities and increase the total fluid production in order to increase oil production from the well and to prepare for additional wells,
. Oil production from the Evesham Sparky pool was also lower than anticipated as a result of the Company's decision to minimize well workovers and planned recompletions during the period of low oil prices in the first quarter of 2009. A program consisting of 4 workovers and 3 recompletions commenced in Q3 2009 with a successful recompletion of an oil well adding 13 Bbls/d to Tuscany at the end of August 2009, and
On a positive note oil prices have recovered since the end of Q1 2009, and we are particularly pleased with the relatively high prices being paid for the Company's heavy oil production. This is particularly relevant to the Company as 85% of Tuscany's revenue is generated from Oil and NGL sales.
Energy prices commenced to diverge in Q2 2009, with gas prices falling and oil prices recovering. Oil prices rebounded in the last few months and we are particularly pleased with prices received for heavy oil production. Better oil prices are somewhat offset by a virtual collapse in natural gas prices. However, Tuscany is primarily an oil producer with 85% of the Company's revenue in the first half of 2009 coming from oil and NGLs.
The Company has also streamlined staff and has arranged to reduce General and Administrative cost by utilizing, on a part time basis, support staff employed by a related company.
The Board of Tuscany believes growth for Tuscany shareholders lies in:
. Restored oil production from existing wells,
. Increased production from a potential Dina pool development program,
. Sustained higher oil prices,
. Improved natural gas prices,
. Lower operating and General and Administrative costs and,
. New financial strength from the announced financial transactions

La costumbre de coronar las edificacione scon una decoración vegetal se remonta a la antigüedad griega como demuestra el remate de la techumbre de la Linterna de Lisícrates en Atenas formado por un grumo de hojas de acanto.
Los arquitectos de la Edad Media emplearon esta decoración con mucha frecuencia en la coronación de pináculos y ápices. Si se sigue con atención el desarrollo y marcha de tal tema decorativo en dicha época, se observará que los florones empezaron por ser un conjunto de hojas y yemas a veces terminadas con cabezas humanas. Luego, los pistilos de las flores fueron los modelos que escogieron los escultores y estos pasaron más adelante a la imitación de la hoja abierta o desarrollada del todo.

Out of the Ether: A Running Backs Coach
So… Who is James Saxon? Saxon was a 1988 draft pick for the Kansas City Chiefs, for whom he played 4 seasons. He then moved on to Miami for 3 and ended his career as a running95.
Saxon has had various coaching jobs in the NFL forKansas City Chiefs from 2001 – 2007 and spent the last 3 seasons with the Miami Dolphins, who let him go after the 2010 season ended. Under his tutelage, 8 players have been named to the Pro Bowl over the last 10 years.
Now Saxon will be working with our own Pro Bowler, Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhart in his sophomore season. Like Bieniemy, Saxon is a graduatere isn’t a lot of information about Saxon’s coaching philosophy. I’m sure we all saw the video of Eric Bieniemy working with Adrian Peterson and his patience, allowing blocks to develop between the 2009 and 2010 seasons.
Will Saxon have a similar approach? That remains to be seen. But the pressure will be on given Leslie Frazier’s desire to produce a run-first offense. Saxon will need to work closely with OC Bill Musgrave and Offensive Line coach Jeff Davidson in order to produce a high-powered running offense for 2011.

They’re lobbying for Ukraine pro bono – and making millions from arms firms
Some of Washington’s most powerful lobbyists are providing their services to Ukraine for free, but they also have financial incentives for aiding the country
Wed 1 Mar 2023 06.00 EST Last modified on Fri 3 Mar 2023 16.02 EST – but at the same time, they are taking in millions in fees from Pentagon contractors who stand to benefit from the country’s war with Russia.
Following Russian president Vladimir Putin’s internationally condemned decision to invade Ukraine there was an outpouring of support to the besieged nation from seemingly every industry in America. But, arguably, one of the most crucial industries coming to Ukraine’s aid has been Washington’s powerful lobbying industry.
The invasion has led some of the lobbying industry’s biggest players to do the unthinkable – lobby for free. While the influence industry may have altruistic reasons for representing Ukraine pro bono, some lobbying firms also have financial incentives for aiding Ukraine: they’ve made millions lobbying for arms manufacturers that could profit from the war.
The surge in pro-bono Ukraine lobbying
US law requireses of their relationship under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (Fara). Twenty-five registrants have agreed to represent Ukrainian interests pro bono since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Before the war, just 11 Fara registrants were working on behalf of Ukrainian interests.
“I don’t recall a comparable surge in pro-bono work for any foreign principal,” said David Laufman, a partner at the law firm Wiggin and Dana, who previously oversaw Fara enforcement at the justice department.
Many of these new pro-bono Ukrainian lobbyists are pushing for greater US military support for the Ukrainian military. As one registrant explained in a Fara filing, they intend “to lobby members of the US government to increase US Department of Defense spending on contracts related to equipment and other efforts which will aid the ability of the Ukrainian military to succeed in its fight against the Russian military”.
While many of these pro-bono lobbyists may be doing this work purely out of solidarity with Ukraine, some of the firms working free of charge for Ukraine have an added incentive.
Before winning the speakership in the new Republican Congress, Representative Kevin McCarthy warned that Republicans wouldn’t approve a “blank check” for Ukraine aid once they took power. But, just last week the GOP’s biggest fundraiser agreed to provide pro-bono assistance in loosening Congress’s purse strings when it comes to Ukraine.
On 16 February, former senator Norm Coleman, senior counsel with the law firm Hogan Lovells, filed Fara paperwork revealing that he is pro-bono lobbyist for a foundation controlled by the Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk. Coleman oversaw the raising and spending of over $260m in funds supporting Republican.

Coleman, who has extensive experience as a lobbyist for foreign interests via his longstanding role as an agent for Saudi Arabia, was already busy at work for Ukraine. Emails from 4 February disclosed as part of Coleman’s Fara disclosures, revealed him requesting assistance from senators Lindsey Graham and Thom Tillis’s chiefs of staff in hosting an event at the Capitol “ of the horrific loss of life and the tragic agony that the people of Ukrain as a direct result of Russian war crimes” and “do as much as possible to ensure continued, strong, bipartisan support for the truly heroic efforts that this administration and Congress have made to provide the essential military and economic assistance to Ukraine”.
While Hogan Lovells conducts this work pro bono, two of the firm’s paying clients, Looking Glass Cyber Solutions and HawkEye 360, have extensive defense department contracts and an interest in the conflict in Ukraine.
Looking Glass, which paid Hogan Lovells $200,000 in 2022, hold “to provide tailored cyber threat intelligence data and enhance the mission effectiveness of US military cyber threat analysts and operators” and writes on its website about the role of such threats in Russia’s military strategy.
HawkEye 360, which also paid $200,000 to Hogan Lovells in 2022, similarly is a defense department contractor, specializing in detection and geolocation of radio signals. Their detection network conducted analysis in Ukraine and their website boasts of identifying GPS interference in Ukraine, appearing to be part of Moscow’s “i”.
BGR Government Affairs (BGR), a lobbying and communications firm, began working pro bono for two Ukrainian interests last May. The contracts are with Vadym Ivchenko, a member of Ukraine’s parliament, and Elena Lipkivska Erguly.
In 2022 BGR made more than half a million dollars lobbying for Pentagon contractors, some of whom are already profiting from the Ukraine war. Raytheon, for example, which paid BGR $240,000 to lobby on its behalf in 2022, according to OpenSecrets, has already been awarded more than $2bn in government contracts related to the Ukraine war.
Indeed, two days before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a BGR adviser was publicly callingPutin’s“Militarily, the United States and Nato allies need to get far more serious about helping Ukraine defend itself,” wrote Kurt Volker, BGR senior adviser and former US Nato ambassador,Cepa).
His article, “Buckle Up: This is Just the First Step”, was promoted on the BGR website. Cepa did not disclose Volker’s BGR affiliation in the article.
“BGR has no conflict of interest and is proud of its work on behalf of Ukraine and all of its clients,” said BGR’s president, Jeffrey H Birnbaum, in a statement responding to questions about whether their work posed any such conflict.
Mercury Public Affairs (Mercury), a lobbying, public affairs and political strategy consultancy, began working pro bono for GloBee International Agency for Regional Development (“GloBee”), a Ukrainian NGO, in mid-March 2022. The firm made headlines for agreeing to work for a Ukrainian client pro bono. The firm’s Fara filing later in the year shows that Mercury’s work consisted of sending just four emails on Globee’s behalf in the first three and a half months of this arrangement.
Mercury, like BGR, was also working on behalf of Pentagon contractors in 2022, while working for a Ukrainian client pro bono. All told, Mercury reported being paid more than $180,000 for lobbying on behalf of Pentagon contractors in 2022.
Mercury’s work for a Ukrainian client is also notable because before the Ukraine war the firm had, for years, been working on behalf of Russian interests. This work included lobbying on behalf of Russia’s Sovcombank, as well as a Russian energy company founded by the Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. Deripaska was recently implicated in a scheme to violate US sanctions, which included payments to a former FBI agent that had previously investigated him. Mercury dropped both of these Russian clients when the Ukraine war began, but not before earning nearly $3m from these Russian interests in the five years before the firm agreed to work for a Ukrainian client pro bono, according to Fara filings.

On 29 April 2022 Navigators Global, which describes itself as an “” firm, registered under Fara to represent thefirm’s Fara filing, they reached out to dozens of key members of Congress on behalf of the Ukrainian parliament – including eight phone calls, texts and emails with McCarthy – and contacted the House and Senate armed services committees two dozen times.
As Navigators Global was doing this pro-bono lobbying of the policymakers in Congress with, arguably, the greatest sway over US military assistance to Ukraine, the firm was also raking in revenue from Pentagon contractors. Specifically, in 2022 Navigators Global made $830,000 working on behalf of defense contractors, according to lobbying data compiled by OpenSecrets. The firms’ lobbying filings also show that their work for these contractors was directed, among other issues, at the FY23 National Defense Authorization Act, the defense policy bill that increased spending on the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative by half a billion dollars.
Navigators26 August 2022 Ogilvy Group, a giant advertising and public relations agency, registered under Fara to work with the mi on the ministry’s Advantage Ukraine Initiative. The initiative’s website describes it as the “Investment initiative of the Government of Ukraine”. The top listed investment option is Ukraine’s defense industry. Ogilvy is joined in this endeavor by fellow Fara registrants Group M and Hill & Knowlton Strategies, as well as the marketing company Hogarth Worldwide, which has not registered under Fara.
While the Ogilvy Group spread “the message that Ukraine is still open for business”, as its statement of work with the ministry explains, Ogilvy Government Relations was lobbying for Pentagon contractors who paid the firm nearly half a million dollars in 2022. These two Ogilvy organizations are technically separate entities. They are owned by the same parent company, WPP.
At least one of the contractors that Ogilvy Government Relations lobbies for, Fluor, would appear to directly benefit from increased US military support for Ukraine and heightened US military presence in Europe more generally. In 2020, the US army’s seventh army training command awarded Fluor with a five-year Logistics Support Services contract, which a Fluor spokesman explained, “positions Fluor for future work with the US European Command and the US Africa Command headquarters located in Germany”. Fluor paid Ogilvy Government Relations $200,000 for lobbying in 2022, according to OpenSecrets.

Ogilvyrd.
As the war in Ukraine heads into its second year, US defense spending continues to balloon. Weapons and defense contractors received nearly half – $400bn – of the $858bn in the 2023 defense budget.
“There’s high demand for weapons to transfer to Ukraine and to replenish shrinking US stockpiles … contractors are seeing billions of dollars in Ukraine-related contracts.” said Julia Gledhill, who investigates defense spending at the government watchdog the Project On Government Oversight.

T Rich cheesecake topped with bursting blueberries nestled in the perfect graham cracker crust – what better way to end the day? Scentsy’s Blueberry Cheesecake Room Spray is as close as it gets to the real thing, minus the calories of course! Spritz a little in your kitchen for a sweet break and everyone will be convinced you’ve been baking away all day. Juicy berries, creamy New York style cheesecake, and buttery graham cracker crust: a winning combination! </s> Down 20-3 with 10 minutes remaining in the game, the Broncos had it first and goal on the Giants eight-yard line after a Janoris Jenkins pass interference penalty.
Siemian’s first look was into the flat at the top of the screen, but Ross Cockrell covered Bennie Fowler well. Siemian is at the top of his drop and no one is open. Eli Apple and Landon Collins have Virgil Green bracketed at the bottom of the screen. Janoris Jenkins has Jordan Taylor covered at the top of the screen. Andrew Adams is all over Demaryius Thomas in the middle of the field. Keenan Robinson has C.J. Anderson covered in the flat. Siemian will scramble and complete a pass to Thomas in tight coverage in the middle of the field to the five-yard line
2nd and Goal at the 5 yard line
Siemian makes a mistake and tries to hit Taylor on a slant run underneath of Fowler. Cockrell avoids the traffic and is all over Taylor, forcing the incompletion. You can see Fowler has Apple beat to the back corner of the end zone and Thomas has room running underneath of Taylor. Cockrell makes a nice play to force third down.
3rd and goal at the 5 yard line
The Broncos try to play power football on fourth down, and C.J. Anderson finds room off the left side. Janoris Jenkins is the unblocked defender, and he does a great job of getting low and meeting Anderson in the hole. He stops him long enough for the rest of his teammates to come over and prevent the touchdown. Turnover on downs. </s> Just a very quick one as i have been messing about with the Lego (again). There's nothing that says i value you as a friend more than a piece of art work devoted to your dearest friends.

The university is disappointed that The Loyolan chose to publish an opinion piece by an anonymous author—a rare decision in journalism reserved for instances when a writer’s safety or livelihood is at risk. The absence of the writer’s identity leaves readers unable to determine their credibility or motive, and The Loyolan’s failure to investigate the writer’s claims and assumptions with thorough reporting and critical analysis has resulted in a piece fraught with errors, conflations, and misleading statements and conclusions.
LMU’s financials are externally audited annually by PricewaterhouseCoopers, and LMU’s financial statements are publicly available.
Universities pay out of their endowments at different rates and with different strategies. LMU spends at a higher rate than other universities, thus slowing the endowment’s growth, but honoring LMU’s mission, values, and commitment to serving students.
LMU has set all-time high fundraising records over the past five years; the fair market value of the endowment on its own is not an indicator of fundraising performance. Under President Snyder’s leadership, LMU has raised more money on an annual basis than his predecessors, with all-time record-setting three- and five-year fundraising averages.corrections to the errors found in the anonymous editorial. The university encourages The Loyolan to reflect upon its decision to provide anonymity to a source who appears to possess limited knowledge of the subject matter. LMU hopes that with discernment, The Loyolan considers how diligent reporting, full transparency, and thoughtful analysis could have produced the fuller, more accurate story its readers deserve and journalistic integrity demands.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY: Report finds potential…
f’s Department, DA’s office
Of that, $40 million is for new, mandatory jail health care costs tied to a lawsuit settlement. Revenues are only projected to grow by $15 million.
After the county sent out a press release Thursday, March 24, with the audit details, the Sheriff’s Department sent a statement blasting County CEO Jay Orr.
As elected officials, have wide latitude to run their departments. But the Board of Supervisors controls their budgets, and supervisors have expressed a desire to contain public safety costs.
Also Tuesday, the board will consider whether to pay KPMG up to $15.7 million over two years. KPMG also could get another $2.7 million to review operations in other county departments.
“We ought to be using other resources rather than, for every type of call, sending out a sworn deputy,” McDonnell said. According to the report, 68 percent of calls for police in 2015 were of a non-emergency nature.
The report, McDonnell said, also looks at how patrols and jails are staffed. KPMG recommends changing staffing so that more deputies and corrections officers are available when they are most needed and fewer are working during less-busy times, McDonnell said.
The department’s statement also said the recommended changes “are ongoing management processes that have already been in place, to this very day for many years.”
“Assuming the Board gives KPMG the green light, we’ll get much more detailed recommendations in the coming months,” he said in an e-mail. “ I appreciate the Sheriff’s passion for public safety and his participation in this process and (am) glad to hear of his confidence in KPMG.”

I have this list. Call it a bucket list, list of things to do while I’m alive, life goals, “beginning with the end in mind” (a la Franklin Covey), whatever.
And somewhat prioritized. I have a vague sense of which things are more important to me than others, and I use that when making decisions. Like where to spend my money first, and how to allot my time.
Sometimes, I even stick to those decisions. 😉
I’m always telling my kids to focus their energies on the things that make them happy. I blabber on about the importance of doing the things that really matter to you, and not putting them off (taking into account personal responsibilities and fiscal soundness, of course).
So, it’s funny when my son throws it back at me.
Visiting Machu Picchu has been on my list since I was ten.
Invariably when we discuss foreign languages and how well they’re doing in French class, I lament that I’m still not fluent in my chosen language of study: German. Well, the other day, my son said, “Then you just need to make it a priority and work on it, Mom.”
Which is when I realized that while I really do want to master German, it can’t compete with some of the other things on my list. At least not right now.
I’ve decided to devote my time to other things that I care even more about.
Now, someday, when I’m in a position to fulfill my “Live in Germany (or Austria)” list item, learning German will become a higher priority. I’ll have a reason to put some serious effort into it. And then some of the things I’m doing now will fall aside for a while.
I don’t want to languish with an unfilled wish list for the rest of my life, but I can’t do everything right now. It’s not a competition. It shouldn’t stress me out. It’s supposed to be fun.
So, I’m going to savor what I’ve done and am doing, and look forward to those things I’ve yet to accomplish. No stress, no guilt, no feelings of failure.
Or at the very least, I’ll add nurturing that attitude to the top of my list. 😉

I took two years of German in high school. I wish I remembered more than I do. I read that if you start reading in the language you want to learn, the patterns will start becoming familiar and eventually you’ll start learning the language. Of course, there will be words to look up but its a start. I’ve started downloading romance books in German to refresh my memory. Good luck with your list! And living on Germany has been on my list for about 25 years 😉
Melanie: I lived there as a kid, and took German in high school. Got really good at it, but never had a reason to use it, so I lost it. I go through bursts of energy where I read news articles online, go through a German text book, and so on, but the motivation isn’t as strong without good reason to learn other than “I want to be fluent.” Definitely need to live there again one of these days.
We spent the last year quite unexpectedly living in Berlin and even though I spoke no German at all when we arrived, the entire year was simply magical. I always assumed that my adult language of choice would be French (my parents’ native language and also what I studied in high school and college), but I absolutely fell in love with both the German language and the German people during our time there.
Now we’ve just as unexpectedly moved to the DC area, and as happy as I am to be back in a country where I speak the language fluently, I truly miss that immersion in a culture that was not my own but somehow became a part of me anyway (and yes, I’m already looking for German classes so I don’t forget all I worked so hard to learn). Go off on your German adventure as soon as you can, even if it’s just for a few weeks. I’m so grateful our family had that opportunity, and I can’t wait to see where we end up next.
Now I’m thinking I should start a life list, too. Thanks for the inspiration, and tschüss!
4 / Sep / 2013
Angele: What a great experience! I too love the German language and culture. Living there as a child had a profound impact on me, and I’ve been waiting years to go back. I did get in a quick visit a few years ago on a two-week tour of Europe, but it wasn’t enough.
Enjoy the DC area. We’re living there now for our second time, and we really like it, but I’m getting antsy to move on. 😉 Danke!
Bucket lists are wonderful. I saw the movie. To Do Lists keep me organized, more or less. Pursued long enough they can become the stuff of stunning resumes. Then one day, spinning off of the then popular “How To Get Control of your Time and Your Life, I decided to make a serendipity list. Stuff that just happened or showed up along the way that reminded me of the gift quality of life in general and my life in particular. The experience = satisfaction and no small amount of joy. It also cranked up enough energy for the next list.
After every “get it done” on my list now I make this entry — celebrate
Curtis: I love the serendipity list. Spontaneous fun is great too. I find that having a larger “big dreams” list helps me take advantage of those unexpected opportunities that arise (or decide if I even want to take them), but I’m always up for the unexpected adventures too. Definitely celebrate. 🙂 Good to see you!
When you FINALLY get back to a German speaking country, the language will come back to you. Within weeks of hearing it spoken, you will be so amazed at the words you suddenly “remember” That happened to me after 45 years. No kidding. It’s also helpful if you have someone to converse with. I didn’t and don’t so it wandered off again. You have bigger fish to fry now. My bucket is close to empty but I still want at least a 3-6 month stint in Germany one more time.
insearchofitall: I know you’re right. I used to get to a point where I could “feel” it. I was so close, but had no one to listen/talk to, and no Internet for easy access to German news and video. A 3-6 month stay in Germany would be awesome. Hope you get there! 🙂

Allergy to dust - a widely spread in recent years, the body's allergic reaction to the home dust present in each house, manifested by lacrimation, sneezing and runny nllergy to household dust is observed in about 40% of the world's population and often leads to various diseases of the respiratory tract and bronchial asthma.
Home dust allergists consider one of the most dangerous and common allergens, tk. in it often there is a huge quantity of various irritating components. And it's not just ordinary dust particles, but also microscopic particles of paint, pet hair, fluff, as well as viruses and bacteria. In addition, home dust is always invisible to the human eye tiny mites (their size 0.1-0.3 millimeters) of house dust - saprophytes that can cause a truly huge harm to human health. The greatest concentration of mites is observed in bedding, where the most optimal conditions for their possible reproduction and further development are created. Only in 1 gram of dust from a mattress or a pillow can be from 200 to 15000 mites! The immediate irritant are not bites of ticks (they do not bite a person), and their products of vital activity, which get into the body of a person sensitive to this allergen, cause a strong allergic reaction. Allergy to dust does not occur in people who are not susceptible to this particular allergen. In addition to ticks, mildew spores, cockroaches, animal hair and other irritants can often cause an allergic reaction.
To date, allocated about one hundred and fifty species of ticks, able to live in people's homes. Home dust mites are divided into three groups, with only ticks of the first group causing an allergy to dust. The first group includes some barn mites that live in places where food is stored - vegetables, flour, cereals and grains. The second group includes predatory dust mites, which feed on mites of the first group. The third group includes mites, which accidentally got into house dust. The second and third groups do not cause an allergy to dust.
Dust mites can safely exist even at sub-zero temperatures, it is almost impossible to remove them from soft furniture and carpets with a conventional vacuum cleaner, since in addition to their claws they emit a sufficiently sticky substance, thereby sticking to any surface. Inside the soft furniture mites can penetrate to a depth of up to thirty centimeters.
Some types of dust mites can cause professional allergic diseases in people working with their infected products - cheese dermatosis, grocery dermatosis, baker's dermatosis, etc.
Allergy to dust - symptoms
Dust allergies can manifest themselves differently, but any of its symptoms are very unpleasant and well marked. The most common dust allergy symptoms are similar to the pollen allergy symptomatology, itching and redness of the eyelids, tearing, itching in the nose, runny nose, skin rashes, bronchial asthma, sneezing, coughing and attacks of suffocation. Allergy to house dust accompanies a person regardless of the season throughout the calendar year, which with confidence allows you to exclude allergies to plants and various colds. Characteristic is the fact that in the case of a long absence in an apartment infected with ticks, the person's health improves noticeably and the symptoms fade. Below we will consider the most common symptoms of dust allergy:
• Allergic rhinitis (hay fever). This is not very difficult, but it is able to spoil the life of a person quite enough, a disease manifested by transparent discharge from the nose, sneezing, burning sensation and itching in the nasopharynx, headache and tearing. Rinit begins with a slight tickling in the nose and gradually develops into a painful continuous sneeze. In some cases, allergic rhinitis develops into such a serious disease as bronchial asthma. Virtually any allergen (food, mold, animal hair, etc.) can cause it, but the main culprit for the development of rhinitis is dust. After contact with the allergen, the response in the form of the appearance of the corresponding symptomatology usually develops almost instantaneously, but in some cases it may be slightly delayed. This occurs in the case of constant contact with a provoking allergen
• Conjunctivitis . This disease is a fairly common manifestation of allergy to dust. About 15% of the population at least once faced this problem. Conjunctivitis is characterized by a feeling of itching and / or burning in the eyes, reddening of the proteins, redness and swelling of the eyelids, lacrimation. Sometimes the vision may also suffer - the surrounding objects look "blurred". People who wear contact lenses suffer the most difficult conjunctivitis. The worst outcome of conjunctivitis is a severe corneal lesion
• Bronchial asthma . Ala, for example, in Russia for example, it suffers from every twelfth resident, and the dynamics of growth in recent years has become truly menacing. After the ingestion of an allergic stimulus in the respiratory tract, the immune defense begins to give a quick sharp rebuff to the foreign agent - the airways become inflamed, filled with thick mucus, and the muscles of the respiratory tract decrease sharply. To start an attack of allergic asthma is characterized by a dry, excruciating cough and a shortened rapid wheezing. In the chest feels a sense of heaviness, there is shortness of breath. Due to lack of breathing air, a person often has a panic condition. Allergic asthma in young children in severe cases can even lead to death, so if there is an allergy to dust in the child, immediate measures should be taken to treat it and further prevent it. Unfortunately very often doctors take asthma for usual bronchitis and accordingly appoint inadequate treatment that can only worsen the situation
In the event that all of the above symptoms are most pronounced in the morning and / or at night, and out of the room quickly disappear, the cause of this ailment is most likely in house dust. Appropriate adequate treatment can be prescribed only by the doctor an allergist, however it will not have the slightest effect if it does not qualitatively combat the original cause - home dust.
Treatment of allergy to dust should always have a comprehensive approach. First of all, the contact of the patient with the provoking allergen should be completely ruled out. This is the most difficult task, since it is impossible to remove mites from carpets or furniture with an ordinary vacuum cleaner. Particular attention should be paid to the bedroom - it is necessary to wear dustproof covers on mattresses. Pillows and blankets should be chosen with synthetic fillers, since they are not for propagation of ticks by a favorable medium. Bedding must be washed at high temperatures.
At least twice a week, you should vacuum and conduct in the room a quality wet cleaning. In order to reduce the humidity of the air (with increased humidity, household pliers accelerate), a dehumidifier or air conditioner should be used. Airing an apartment is also necessary regularly. In the case of a persistent allergy to dust, carpeting should be completely discarded, replacing them with vinyl or wood.
Treatment of allergy to dust is carried out using anti-inflammatory drugs prescribed by the allergist and antihistamines. In food should be present a large amount of vitamin C (citrus, greens, elder, currant, sweet pepper, etc.), which significantly reduces the increased susceptibility to allergens.
Well-proven methods of fighting dust:
• When cleaning the apartment and washing it in water, you should add tea tree oil
• Curtains and bed linens must be washed in hot water
• Floors during cleaning should be washed with salt solution, for ten liters of water, five tablespoons of salt
Allergy is very insidious able to manifest itself at any age of the disease. Disease, stress, lifestyle changes - all this significantly weakens immunity and often becomes the reason that until recently a completely healthy person suddenly becomes allergic. Therefore, the refusal to eat harmful products, smoking, qualified timely treatment, regular cleaning of the apartment and a healthy lifestyle will help successfully cope with the developed allergy to dust.

re not going to ask anybody -- there's no defense we have where we're going to ask guys to take two gaps. We're not going to ask guys to cover two men. We're not going to ask guys to be responsible for two zones. Just do your job and execute.
And so that's really what it boils down to. It's about us.
Q. Tre', the UCF team doesn't give up a lot of sacks and you guys are good at sacking the quarterback. What has shown up on film and how do you plan to attack their offensive line?
Q. Obviously you guys have seen the comments made by Adrian Killins about the SEC has not seen the speed that UCF has. How taken aback were you with those comments and was that maybe something to wake you guys up after losing in the SEC Championship Game?
Q. Is that something you would use in a bulletin-board type setting? Do you still have bulletin boards?
KEVIN STEELE: No, we don't. We text them (laughter).
I actually have somebody do it for me but that's another story.
No, in this day and age with social media, and we're so equipped, I mean, there's a lot of things out there about everything. Some of it, you don't even know if it's true or not.
In terms of the players, they come in all shapes and sizes. I mean, in the course of a year, you're going to see every kind of running back from small, quick, to big, powerful.
So it's built -- there are certain things that make it a little more difficult with different guys, and obviously we're well aware of that, the quickness and the ability to make people miss in a very close area. But it's not -- it still comes back to applying technique and being responsible and accountable to your job. You can't just get into defending one guy. There's a lot of space out there.
KEVIN STEELE: I think externally -- and I don't want to get into a lecture about the philosophy on that -- but ta -- I don't know that; you'll have to speak for yourself. All the shift goes, if you don't make the Final four, then it's a bad year or you didn't accomplish what you -- and that's not -- that's not the way it's built internally. It's.
Q. Did you know Scott Frost when you coached at Nebraska and what did you learn under Tom Osborne at Nebraska?
KEVIN STEELE: I did know Scott. We recruited Scott when I was there. We had, I think Tommie was the quarterback at that time, Frazier, and he was a young quarterback. Scott went to Stanford, was there I think one year and then came back home. Scott's dad, mom, both coaches in Nebraska. So yes, I did know him, and when he came back, I was still there. Yes, I did know him.
Coach Osborne, we don't have enough time. It's more of a book than a press conference on what you learn from Coach Osborne. There's not a day that went by that you didn't learn something from Coach. Unbelievable man, great teacher, but I think probably the biggest thing was he had an uncanny ability to make every person in the room every day, every time he saw youand

Regardless of the state of the hotel and restaurant industries, a marketing plan can help you build a formal strategy to promote your hotel or restaurant to customers.
The executive summary should communicate your company's marketing goals. For example, for a hotel, one of your marketing goals may to "maintain a 65 per cent occupancy rate throughout the year." For a restaurant, one of your goals may be to "increase food and beverage sales by 25 per cent by the end of the third quarter." Ensure your goals have specific numbers that you can target and that will let you know whether or not you've accomplished those goals.
The situation analysis of a marketing plan should contain an internal and external analysis. For the internal analysis, describe your company's product and service offerings. Then,hotel or restaurant. The external analysis should include external conditions that affect your industry. For example, a slow economy might affect restaurant sales or the number of guests who stay at your hotel.
The marketing mix in your marketing plan includes the "four Ps" of marketing, which are product, price, place and promotion. "Product" means the types of food or drinks you serve at your restaurant or the products and services you offer at your hotel. "Price" refers to the pricing strategies for your restaurant or hotel. "Place" means you should describe the locations for your business and analyse their potential effect on your business's success. Finally, "promotion" refers to the marketing and promotional strategies and tactics you will use to spread the word about your hotel or restaurneed space to play, imagine and pretend. If you don't have enough room in your home to give your children a dedicated playroom, consider turning a closet into a kids-only play area. Even the smallest closet has plenty of room for your child's growing imagination.
- Child-size table and chair
Prepare the closet to become a kid space. Empty it out completely. Dust cobwebs out of the corners, sweep the floor and wipe the walls down. Make the space as clean as possible. Remove clothing rods and other hardware.
Paint the space, but before you do, allow the kids who will play in the space to help with the color selection. It does not need to be the same as the wall colors in the room, but it should at least coordinate. Bright colors work best because most closets do not have adequate lighting. If you have artistic ability, you can paint a mural on the back wall of the closet.
Determine whether or not you will replace the closet doors with curtains. Leaving the doors up will make the space usable as a closet. Removing the doors and hanging curtains in the doorway will allow light into the space and make it more inviting as a play area. Both options have merit, and either one will work.
Add toy storage to the closet space. Plastic crates can be stacked up to create color shelving. The closet's original shelving can be used to keep some toys out of reach so that the space stays organized.
- Don't clutter the space will too many toys or too much furniture. The space should give kids a chance to express their creativity through crafts and pretend play.

Terry Morton Announces That the Independent Financial Firm He Founded, Terry Morton Wealth Advisors, LLC Continues to Listen to Client’s Needs 1st & Then Offer Solutions – CBS79
With many years of practical industry experience, Mr. Morton transitioned his practice from a traditional people engagement process to a prospect and client centric process. In so doing, consulting in the areas of health, finances, and relationships take precedence over all else. According to Terry, “Anyone who meets with the firm will know their life situation is clearly the only motivation.”
He enjoys working with people and offering solutions to their financial issues based on their unique situation and goals. When working with an individual or a couple he says that he “asks questions and actively listens so I’m able to expand on certain things I hear. Everyone has a story to tell. We’re all human and we all wish to be listened to when we are in a situation where it is expected we will be listened to. I make certain people are listened to. I make sure their needs come first.”
At Terry Morton Wealth Advisors LLC, the process used is not based on finding products and services to fit a prospect but on asking questions and listening. Morton states, “Many times, I have had prospects, upon meeting me, ask me questions about fees and product performance. I usually ask where that question comes from. I help them understand that my industry has taught them that those are the questions they should ask. They are not. The questions that should be asked are those that have to do with them. What is important to them/him/her. It is of the utmost importance they understand it is about them. Not my products and services.”
A client can expect to learn to advocate for themselves and that problems will be solved in the process. According to Mr. Morton, “I want my prospects to know, even when working with me as a client, that they now understand what I do and what my industry does. I want them to know how it works. When they can advocate for themselves, about any issue, they become even better clients, and we have much deeper conversations that bring even more value.”
Recently a client came to Terry Morton Wealth Advisors, LLC who was unhappy about a product they had purchased using another advisor that was not working for them. Morton was able to exchange it without penalty into a series of products that met the client’s needs.
Finally, Morton states, “It is completely within expectation that if we ultimately don’t work together, you will still be able to tell me that I helped and that it was important that I did.”
Initially, Terry Morton entered the financial services as a Cost and Profitability Analyst in a corporate setting. Following 7 years as a People, Process, and Facility Manager, he was intrigued by both the management and corporate financial roles and made the decision to transition to the personal wealth arena in traditional banking and investment services. He spent the first 20 years working for a few of the US’s major banks in both the wealth and brokerage areas. Shortly thereafter, he worked for a non-banking large brokerage establishment. This last role inspired Mr. Morton to pursue becoming an Independent Wealth Management Business Owner, known as Terry Morton Wealth Advisors, LLC.

Signs lined the door of the courtroom poling place in the Ozark County Courthouse during the April 3 General Municipal Election.
Ozark Countians passed an increase in the tax levy supporting its ambulance service in last week's General Municipal Election, and Dora R-III School District voters agreed to renew its school tax levy with a 10-cent increase.
Only two of the county's five school districts had elections for school board members, and in those two districts, the races were tight. After an initial tie, Bakersfield's newest board member was elected by a single vote, and in the Gainesville school board race, only two votes separated one of the winners from her closest challenger.
Two three-year terms on the board of directors for Public Water Supply District No. 1 in Theodosia were filled without an election, as allowed by law. Incumbent Suzanne Meeks filed for re-electiwon; incumbent Alan Edgington did not. Ric Engelhardt filed for Edgington's seatSee details of the election results on page 16.

In this research, we have developed a complete assistance system with rear-view monitoring, back obstacle sensor, an over speed sensor and a maintenance scheduler which are integrated into a user-friendly app. We have designed a system to overcome the downsides with minimal costing and easy installation process. To appraise the effectiveness, we installed this system in real Auto Rickshaw in the road. Astounded responses were accomplished by the Auto Rickshaw drivers while tested and demonstrated.

The video above is a classic FM 'In The Studio' from 2007. Back before the Swedish House Mafia were global superstars we bumped into Steve Angello in a Stockholm nightclub. He invited us to see his studio the next day.
how and where Steve Angello produces. Below is an excerpt from the interview with Steve from that same session.
Steve angello pose
Slap bang in the middle of Stockholm, on the top floor of a building above a nightclub, lies what's commonly known as the best-sounding room in the city. Well, at least that's what the latest owner, Steve Angello, tells us. With enormous custom-built speakers that have been tuned to the room, the four massive 15-inch speakers pin you to the wall with every consecutive clockwise turn of the Mackie Big Knob.
It's a beautiful working environment but is painfully sparse for us FM gear freaks! Replacing the spot that used to hold a medium-sized mixing console are two massive Apple screens and an Edirol controller keyboard. Where rack gear was mounted now hangs looms of unpatched cables - it's a simple set-up from which Angello still produces a monstrous sound. After poking around the equally sparse live room and a delightfully Disco-style toilet (no, really) we get started with our chat and a bit of studio work on Angello's latest track.
Steve angello studio shot
"I don't want a sound that's created for me. If you know your tools, then you're the king of the studio."
"We met around 1999/2000 - through StoneBridge actually. There's quite a tight-knit scene here. Everyone knows everyone and there's no competition. There's something special here."
"I'm not into the mainstream thing. I just want to do my own thing, become one of the biggest DJs in the world and keep doing what I'm doing. I don't want to become a Pop icon; I'd rather be a guy who's still around in 15 years than be gone after two. Prydz and Axwell are two of the best producers in the world, so even though they have mainstream success, they'll still be around in years."
What were the biggest leaps in technology for you?
"I've got a PC at home and started to work on it for a while. I was with Logic 4.7 until only a year agowhen I got a Mac - I couldn't move on for ages! Logic is something I need in my life, I can't work without it. I've tried other DAWs but it just doesn't work. Just being able to run everything on a laptop is amazing. If you think about it, NASA used to run on about 4MB of speed and now I have a computer on my lap faster than the one that went to the moon.
What are you are your top plug-ins?
"I just use Logic's own. I want to make it as simple as possible. I want a basic sound that I can create myself. I'm completely self-taught and I know what I need to know to get around."
What's your advice to make it big?
"Just keep doing what you love and working on what you believe in. Make the trends, don't follow them. Work your ass off and sit in the studio 24/7. And when you're happy with a track, send it everywhere. Most DJs own their own labels so it might be an idea to send it to them first."
How do you think your production style has developed over the years, and why do you think these changes have occurred?
"I think we've got a lot more into advanced productions - not that you can always hear it but just the way of doing stuff. For instance, if I want to get a sound I just make it, instead of looking for a preset. I think the main reason for this advancing is simply the amount of the time we spend in studios. You get bored of doing the same thing over again and I think people always look for new challenges."
Steve angello logic
"Everything to be honest! Well we've done so many things: big records, big remixes... We've remixed Justin Timberlake and Moby... Everything is a highlight. We just try and move on and create more highlights. I'm still enjoying every second and I'm also still learning from day to day. The gigs, the remixes, the productions and the travelling: it's just one big happy smile in my face every day."
What do you think the best method is for sustaining long-term popularity in the Dance Music Industry?
"Hard work, and lots of it! Just work hard and always make sure you put quality in front of quantity. It's really important - a lot of producers put too much time in just doing tunes and releasing them. I promise you not even half of the producers love every single track they make and release, and that's a shame because you can hear it. Just follow your heart and go for what you love."

the set over the smallest imagined offenses, or throwing away a whole day's shoot because "it just didn't feel right." We were burning through money and goodwill faster than I had ever seen, even on the most slapdash of his earlier projects.
The cast really impressed me, though. Most of them were fresh out of drama school, with maybe a couple of ads under their belt, and a few older faces who'd clearly spend most of their life hurling themselves at closed doors until now. Most impressive to me, though, was a guy called <NAME>. He was playing the closest thing the film had to a protagonist, a homeless ex-Methodist minister who'd found himself on the island by chance, and served as a connecting thread, wandering between the scenes and the vignettes of the inhabitants after each ended with their march to the spider.
Brandon took to the role immediately, with a gravity and a weariness that I don't think could have been entirely feigned. He was the only one who didn't seem excited by the movie, and spent his off hours smoking and reading quietly in one of the trailers. It was a shame, because for whatever reason, he also seemed to be the only one that Dexter would listen to. I only saw them talking once or twice, but every time, Dexter would be rapt, nodding at whatever Brandon might have to say.
Of course, I never really had time to think on it. I was finding it an almost impossible task to get even the most basic of shots, with Dexter constantly demanding the whole setup be changed for no reason. Like I said, I'm excellent at my job, but giving him what he wanted from the camerawork relied on him actually knowing it himself. There was a frenzied nervous energy to his instructions, and if I didn't know any better, I might have even said that he wasn't just afraid that the shots might not work, he was afraid of the idea.
And so it was, for the first few weeks. Dexter clearly wasn't sleeping. He had insisted on using old equipment, and avoided digital almost entirely, to the point where several of the crew were using pieces of kit they'd never even seen before. This meant that a work print had to be made manually for the dailies, something he refused to let anyone else do. Once shooting wrapped, he'd be in the editing room for hours, preparing dailies, although they shouldn't have needed editing at all. And when we watched them, I'd often noticed that certain shots were missing, stuff I was certain that we'd filmed. I brought this up with him once, and he called me a liar to my face.
I only interrupted him when he was preparing dailies once. An actress who was slated to be shooting the next day had taken violently ill. The crew needed his sign-off to change the schedule. No one else dared to go in, so once again it was down to me to head into that tiny room alone.
It was dark inside, lit only by what spilled in through the open doorway. I could hear a sound like turning of an old film reel, but I couldn't say where from. I stood there, unable to step inside, not because of fear, but because this space inside was threaded all over with film strips. Up and down, one side to the other, wrapping around and through each other. I gingerly reached out and touched one. And as I did, Dexter seemed to emerge from the darkness. At first I thought he was taller than usual, but then I realized that he was suspended ever so slightly by the strips of film, his feet a good couple of inches off the floor.
He was very calm as he asked what I wanted, and when I stutteringly explained the situation, he just nodded and said we should feel free to rearrange however we liked. Then he closed the door, and I left. Trying very hard to convince myself that he had only had two arms.
Shooting continued, but there was a growing awareness throughout the crew that we had still seen nothing from <NAME>. No one had met him on set, or spotted him or his team entering or leaving the workshop where the spider was supposedly being constructed. No one had heard the sound of work being done in there, and the rumor was that Dexter had finally lost it, and the workshop was empty. We had run through all the scenes that could be done without it, and everyone was getting really impatient.
Finally, Dexter announced it was time for the unveiling. For the spider, for _kumo,_ to make its appearance. We were all excited as we assembled outside the workshop, but there was a nervous energy in the air that day. It was about as cold as it ever gets in LA, but the shiver that passed through us when he told us it was time was something else entirely.
I've thought back over those minutes so many times, trying to decide if I'd heard or seen anything that might have explained what happened inside that building. But in the end, I have to admit that I didn't. Minutes passed, then half an hour, as we waited impatiently for Dexter or the others to return.
It seems like a sick cosmic joke that that was the day the press broke the news of Neil Lagorio's death. Half an hour after the cast walked into that building, one of the grips stumbled across the news story whilst idly checking his phone. Lagorio had been privately suffering from Parkinson's for almost a decade, and had been bedridden in his Connecticut home for the last year.
I'm still not entirely sure what I saw on the other side of that door. I probably saw nothing, like the cops who arrived shortly afterwards. The place was entirely empty after all, just as the rumors had always said. But I wouldn't be here talking to you if I thought that was true, now, would I?
Because I remember that first moment - that instant of looking up when I first entered. I saw it, perfectly interwoven with a hundred cocoons, writhing and dangling, stretching out far above me. And in its center, those black and shining eyes that focused on my entrance. The legs that worked so fast as to be a blur. The fangs that dripped their poison onto Dexter Banks. Then, in a moment, it was all gone - scuttling up and into nowhere, pulling its impossible web behind it.
I never knew how to describe my relationship with Dexter, and I still don't. How he was complicit, and how much he was simply caught in his own neuroses and fears, I don't know. I know he didn't deserve what happened to him.
I found the book, by the way. And I burned it. If I ever track down the man who used to own it, I might just burn him too.
I think Alexia might be a bit too late for that. I mean, I think it sounds like a Jurgen Leitner book. About spiders. Hm. Good John didn't have to read this one, anyway. I know he's not a fan. Although, this one wasn't too bad, actually! I - yeah. Anyway.
This is, I suppose, one explanation for the disappearance of Dexter Banks, along with almost a hundred cast members, back in 2012. There's not a lot I can really add that hasn't been already dissected by a hundred different tabloid magazines and mystery shows. Even the, um, *arachnid* angle has been covered, as it seems that when *we* weren't a lot of help, <NAME> told her *full* story to the press. She was not treated kindly, and refuses to discuss the events any further. Poor thing.
Yeah, but Basira did manage to get hold of a few things from recent LAPD files that haven't been released to the public yet. Though she's a bit cagey as to how she she got them.
Apparently, over the last five years, every February a corpse is found washed up on Redondo Beach. It'll be a shriveled husk, with all moisture and internal organs apparently removed. These corpses are usually unidentifiable, but the one that washed up last year was confirmed to be <NAME>, an aspiring actor who went missing in

Gender Inclusive Modern Versions
Gender Inclusive Modern Versions - Today's New International Version, NIV, ESV, NASB, NKJV and others.
In the NKJV - 15 times
(a few examples)
Romans 6:19 - I speak in HUMAN2:4 -HUMANHUMAN court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.
NASB - 39 times
ESV - 65 times
Holman Christian Standard - 141 times
NIV - 214 times
Examples from Genesis 6 - “When HUMANHUMANSHUMANSan Wallace’s NET version - 233 times
(Quotes by Scott Jones) "When modern bibles such as the NASB, NIV, ESV, et al, remove Jesus Christ as the Creator in Ephesians 3:9, remove Jesus Christ as the Sovereign in John 3:13, remove Jesus Christ as GOD Incarnate in 1 Timothy 3:16, remove Jesus Christ as Jehovah Incarnate in 1 Corinthians 10:9, ad infinitum, they don't say a word. Not a whisper.
But when the feminism movement pops its head, the hypocrites go berserk. Regarding the new gender inclusive TNIV that the hypocrites are suddenly so vocal about, the party-line spreads its deceitful wings. Falwell speaks for a whole host of his cronies who have come out against the TNIV. Observe -
"Mr. Stinson says this is "problematic" because the Greek word "aner" is translated as "some," when this is a specific word THAT CAN ONLY MEAN MEN." (End of quotes by Scott Jones - emphasis added)
I completely agree with brother Scott Jones on this. Following are some examples of this hypocricy, irony and spiritual blindness on the part of many Christian leaders.
Short list of examples of changes made from the NIV to the TNIV
They again Comment: "Suggests that there were women debating on the Aeropagus. Mistranslates Greek aner, "men." (End of this portion of the article opposing the use of the TNIV)
Matthew 15:38 "they that did eat were 4000 men" - NIV 1982 - "were 4000" (omits men altogether)
Luke 1:34 "I know not a man" NIV 1982 and 2011- "since I am a virgin"
Acts 1:16; 2:29; 2:37; 7:2; 13:15; 13:26; 13:38; 15:7; 15:13; 23:1; 23:6; 28:17 - ανδρες αδελφοι
However the NIV, NASB, RSV, ESV and Dan Wallace's NET version omit the word 'men' and just say "Brothers".
Acts 21:11 "bind the man that owneth this girdle" NIV 1982, 2011 - "bind the owner of this belt"
Acts 23:21 "more than 40 men" - NIV 1982, 2011 - "more than 40 of them"
Ephesians 4:13 "unto a perfect man" NIV 1982, 2011 - "become mature"
Another generic term being introduced into the modern versions is the word HUMAN, or HUMAN BEING. This is a gender inclusive term. The word "human" is not found in the King James Bible at all. However in the NKJV we find the word "human" 15 times, in the NASB it occurs 39 times, in the old 1984 edition of the NIV 50 times and in the ESV a whopping 65 times!
Here are just a few examples comparing the KJB with the NKJV and the ESV.
Ezekiel 4:15 "cow's dung for man's dung" - NKJV, ESV - "cow's dung instead of HUMAN waste"
John 16:21 "for joy that a man is born into the world" - NKJV, ESV "a HUMAN being has been born"
Romans 6:19 "I speak after the manner of men" - NKJV, ESV, Holman, NASB, NET - "I speak in HUMAN terms"
I Cor. 2:4 "not with enticing words of man's wisdom" - NKJV "words of HUMAN wisdom", ESV omits "man's"
The King James Bible as well as virtually every Bible leading up to modern times has used the word "man" in hundreds of verses like Romans 6:19 "I speak after the manner of MEN"
Nathan - “So does this mean that a rich man can hardly enter into the kingdom, but since a rich woman is not mentioned they do not have the same problem???”
These two bible agnostics, neither one will EVER show you a copy of any Bible they really believe is inerrant) would do well to simply learn a bit more about their own English language.
Definitions of the word “man”
a man could get killed there
she's your man
4. The human race; mankind: man's quest for peace.
Man - variable noun
The chick initially has no fear of man.
Another gender neutral term is the New Age/ Hindu term "the One" used to refer to God. The One is a neutral, sexless term. The King James Bible never refers to God simply as "the One" but rather as He. The Greek is masculine yet the NKJV uses the term 'the One" 14 times in the New Testament alone.
John 7:18 "but he that seeketh HIS glory that sent him, the same is true" - NKJV -""
In the NKJV see Mat. 11:3; 26:48; Mark 14:44; Luke 1:35; 7: 19, 20; 22:27; John 7:18; Acts 17:23; Eph. 4:10; Heb. 3:3; 8:3; Rev. 11:17; 16:5.
The NASB does this same thing even more than the NKJV and the NIV does it even more than the NASB. Here are just a few from the NASB.
RSV: "......"
Today's New International Perversion By Joseph Farah February 4, 2002
If you didn' "Christian"
* Mary is no longer "with child," in the femi-nazi version of the Bible. She is "pregnant."
Here are my comments on this article: I agree with Mr. Farah in that the expression "She was with child" definitely states that there is a real baby inside the womb. Today's feminazis will unashamedly say "I decided to terminate my pregnancy" but they would not so easily admit "I decided to terminate my child".
The NASB, NIV and the ESV do this very same thing in the following verses: 1 Samuel 4:19 - "the wife of Phinehas was PREGNANT" (NASB, ESV, NIV) ; 2 Samuel 11:5 - "she sent and told David, I AM PREGNANT." (NASB, ESV, NIV), Ecclesiastes 11:5 - KJB "the womb of her that is WITH CHILD"; "the womb of THE PREGNANT woman" (NASB) (NIV omits) Isaiah 26:17 - KJB "like as a woman WITH CHILD", "as A PREGNANT woman" (NASB, NIV, ESV) and 18 Hosea 13:16 - KJB "their women WITH CHILD shall be ripped up." - "their PREGNANT WOMEN shall be ripped up." (NASB, NIV, ESV) and Amos 1:13 - KJB "the women WITH CHILD" - "the PREGNANT women" (NASB, NIV, ESV)
I just picked up a newspaper called Rocky Mountain Christian Times, Vol.2 No 7 July 2002. This paper is provided by a local church that uses the NIV. There is an article in it titled More TNIV Controversy. Here is part of the article.
These men said "The TNIV translation." They then list several examples among which is this one. They ask the question: "How do they (the TNIV translators) know that changing the word "saints" to "God's people" ". [End of comments in article]
The old NIV 1984 does this same thing in Romans 12:13; 1 Cor. 16:1; 2 Cor. 9:12; Ephesians 2:19, 3:8, 4:12, 5:3; Hebrews 13:24, and Revelation 20:9 and 22:21.
The old NIV 1982 at least had the word "SAINTS" in their version 69 times; 24 times in the Old Testament (examples - 1 Samuel 2:9; 2 Chron. 6:41; Psalm 16:3; 30:4; 31:21 etc.) and 45 times in the New Testament (examples - Acts 9:13; Romans 1:7; 8:27; 15:25, 26, 31; 16:2 and 15, etc.) But not the word SAINTS is completely gone in the NIV 2011 edition. What you find instead is the total paraphrase "God's people".
I would also highly recommend a very well done article about the TNIV by Terry Watkins. It can be found here:http://www.av1611.org/kjv/tniv_intro.html

The Prophecy, by Erin Albert
November 17, 2013 Jackson Paul Baer3 Comments
“We are all Vanguards,” she pleaded. “Please let me go.”
Nash, a loner who has never fit in, carries a huge secret, one big enough to destroy both kingdoms. When he accidently meets Layla, he’s no longer content to live in the shadows, but he must resist his growing attraction—for her safety and for the longevity of the two kingdoms.

You’re the author of the upcoming young adult fantasy (November 2013), THE PROPHECY. S
Geez Louise, we’re starting this interview off with a bang! LOL! <goes to scour the manuscript>
While my dream is obviously to write a bestseller, I’ll always be a writer. My self-definition includes the word “writer.” To not be one would be to remove a part of who I am. So, I’d choose to write forever but never have a bestseller.
I have lived in both actually. College campuses ROCK…for a season. I had the most fun living there, but I would choose to ultimately live in a small town and travel. I would love to see the world! Though…how small are we talking? I must have access to a Target. Haha!! 😉
We literally like the same music, except Boyz to Men 🙂
Skittles or M & M’s? M&M’s (always pick the chocolate!!)
Happy or sad ending to a novel? Happy. Life is sad. I read to escape. 😉
Mark Twain or Joyce Carol Oates? Mark Twain. Don’t hate, but I’ve never read Joyce Carol Oates. I can’t really make a fair comparison if I’ve read one but not the other… 😉
Two things: Stranded on a Deserted Island for Dummies and a satellite phone
Two people: My two closest friends. Our families would immediately come looking for us (thanks to the satellite phone), but we’d have a blast while we wait to be rescued. 😉
Seriously, I’m an indoor girl. I do NOT want to be stranded on an island without the ability to be rescued. 😉

U.S. recorded at least 185 fatalities on Wednesday alone, making it the worst day so far and the death toll exceeded 900. The total number of U.S. cases is above 65,000.
He said on Sunday, a rate of every 4.7 days by Tuesday.
Mr. Cuomo is among governors who’vesed bars and restaurants, except for takeout or carry-out orders. He said no one thinks it’s sustainable to keep the economy closed but there are “two parallel thoughts” at play, in that he’s not willing to risk lives.
As Congress rushed to pass stimulus measures for the economy, Mr. Trump congratulated his administration for its response to date, saying its performance has saved lives.
“We’ve done one hell of a job,” Mr. Trump said, praising his team. “You wouldn’t even have a country left.”
50 Games in Tokyo to 2021.
Projections put the expected need for hospital beds at 140,000, though the current capacity is about 53,000. Yet coupled with his order that hospitals expand capacity by 50%, plus additional makeshift hospitals being set up with FEMA assistance and other measures, the total supply could end up somewhere around 119,000 beds.
The governor is urging the White House to use a “rolling deployment” of ventilators and other gear as different places in the country see a peak in cases.
“Let’ spot,” he said. “Once you address that hotspot .. then shift to the next hot spot.”
Mr. Trump said he’s ready to invokemore equipment, though companies are coming forward on their own.
“It’s a great point of leverage, it’s a great negotiating tool,” Mr. Trump said of the Korean War-era law.
Mr. Trump says testing, which lagged at first, is increasing exponentially and now exceeds that of South Korea, which won praise for its response to the coronavirus — although the Asian country conducted more testing per capita.
Mr. Trump requested medical equipment from South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Tuesday, according to Yonhap News Agency.

"Beautiful Days - 2017" is based on a North Korean refugee's true story about a mother who abandons her family and runs away to South Korea. She then reunites with her resentful son sixteen years later. This movie is director Jero Yun's first feature film and actress Lee Na-young's first movie in five years.

[Video] Exciting 5-Minute Trailer for "Mad Dog" </s> !! </s> The recent headlines over in California keep getting grimmer. On Thursday, news broke of the third fatality from the rare, rodent-borne illness, which has been linked to some tent cabins at the park’s popular Curry Village.
In addition, park officials also confirmed that the eighth confirmed case of hantavirus linked to the park in recent weeks, which was a mild case and did not require hospitalization, likely occurred not in Curry Village but at one of the park's high country camps. As a result, Yosemite officials are notifying about 12,000 additional people who stayed in the park’s High Sierra camps this summer, said Kari Cobbk.
So far, park officials have sent more than 3,000 e-mails and letters to people who reserved cabins in Curry Village over the summer and have posted and shared links to FAQs and safety tips about the virus. In addition, various health agencies working on the outbreak to T about the outbreak. Meanwhile, all 91 of the "signature" cabin tents at Curry Villaged due to a design flaw in the tents that allowed mice inside, are closed indefinitely, Cobb said.
Still, even with all the efforts dedicated to controlling the outbreak, the situation also underscores an important reminder for any travelers who enjoy the wilderness: that as safe and regulated as national parks are, nature always has the upper hand.
The disease is rare: According to the CDC, just. Nevertheless, you can further reduce your chances of contracting it by following the safety guidelines suggested by Yosemite officials. Among them: Don't sleep on bare ground; don't pitch your tent near possible rodent habitats like dense brush or woodpiles; and avoid leaving luggage or bags on the ground or cabin floor.

We’ve always found that the most interesting people to talk music with are the ones that readily admit to not knowing everything. The catalog of recorded music is so incomprehensibly vast that one could spend their whole life listening to new music and never really scratch the surface. It’s exciting to think about how much cool stuff is out there! And much of it for one reason or another has been lost in time. You never know what will end up in yr local record store.
For today’s post, we’re taking a look at the band Paris.
We’ve seen these LPs in the shop from time to time. Always thought the art was kinda cool but never took the time to spin them. Recently, we finally took the plunge. Dropped the needle halfway through the first track and was a little unimpressed. Kinda standard 70s rock. Skipped to the second track. More of the same. Kinda sounds like Led Zeppelin. Almost moved on to another record but decided to try a little later in track two. WHOA! What is going on here?! All of sudden the headphones are filled with a wall of Psychedelic guitar wails, bombastic drums and layers of studio trickery. Next track is some weirdo spazzy keyboard licks and the next is a HEAVY blues riff that could have been lifted straight from Black Sabbath or Blue Cheer. Time to do some research!
Turns out those wailing guitar sounds are from Robert aka Bob Welch of Fleetwood Mac! Not what we expected at all! Bob was brought into the group to replace Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer in 1971. He is reported to have been a major reason for the band’s shift into soft rock territory. In 1974 he left Fleetwood Mac Appar

Our third and present city hall was built to replace the second city hall, Federal Hall, used by the national government headed by George Washington. In 1812, our third and present City Hall opened there. By then, New York City was America’s largest city with over 100,000 people. Our present City Hall, New York’s third, was built at the northern end of City Hall Park between 1803 and 1812. The north side faced was not as nice as the other sides faced with marble granite. It faced the City Asylum before the New York County House was built. In 1958, marble finally replaced the brick north. It was designed in combined French and Georgian style by John McComb Jr. and Joseph Francois Mangin. Hamilton Grange was also designed by architect John McComb in 1802 for Alexander Hamilton.
A maintenance worker quit because she was unable to fix the elevators that kept causing problems around midnight. Police officers and cleaning crews over the years have reported seeing ghosts dressed in 19th-century clothing in the basement where the City Council press office is now located.
DeWitt Clinton was the Mayor of New York who proposed building the Erie Canal in 1815 to make New York City the greatest city in America. He was elected governor, the first time anybody was elected to higher office from City Hall. Construction was begun 1817; completed 1825. He has occasionally reported haunting the mayor’s office, apparently in his happy place to be in death.

[MUSIC] I was given an old pattern from Southern Living Pattern Archives and was asked to recreate a dress that was in the same vein as the 1950s and 60s. I think Southern style is the right amount of Traditional and nostalgic ideas mixed with something very contemporary and modern. People put a lot of emphasis on purchasing quality clothing that had really beautiful fabrics that would last them a long time. Time, fast fashion hadn't really come to be yet and people bought investment pieces. If you're buying high-end clothing, you're buying something that had a lot of attention to detail and It was very luxurious. My dress adopted certain design details from the vintage pattern but also has a fresh modern take that I think is more relevant to today's woman. It's got a beautiful two tone feel. It's got light pink, it's got dark pink, it's really dynamic. So I think that's what really makes a dress work in such a simple shape is that the fabric has a lot of life to it. It was really exciting to be able to make something that was affordable and still. For us at the same time. To me, being a Southern designer really means representing the South. I think the South really has a beautiful and important design aesthetic. And it has a lot of culture and a lot of richness. And that it's different and has something to say. [MUSIC] I'm Abby Glass, and I designed an exclusive dress for the Southern Living 50th Anniversary. Perfect. [LAUGH] That was a good one. And, we're done. [SOUND] [MUSIC] [BLANK_AUDIO]

However, the real self is an unknown factor and the unfamiliar can be scary, especially with quick change. The key is to go at an acceptable pace or expect to be uncomfortable. Whichever is decided, the desire for change must be present by focusing on the benefits that inner peace will bring.
A peaceful self has great confidence, acceptance, understanding, self-love and joy as internal building blocks. This real self will then create a new life, one filled with success and happiness because when someone’s beliefs change, his or her world changes.
The secret to using these skills for obtaining happiness was to implement them with the most beneficial thoughts being a conscious choice. As children, integrating information unconsciously and its acceptance as truth is one of humanity’s wonderful innate survival mechanisms.
While attending group therapy, I discovered Dr. Burns’ book, Feeling Good, and ended my depression. However, I expected to feel happy over 50 percent of the time and not just in brief sporadic moments.
Most of my life I have spent searching for peace and happiness. This included reinventing myself many, many times with new looks, careers, friends, partners, locations, etc. Mostly I was repeating childhood beliefs and randomly exploring new ideas. Even though I was always working on the internal self, my focus was external. I wanted to see results because I didn't trust or know myself.
After ending my depression and still not happy, I read about a couple of people during WWII in concentration camps. One person described herself as being happy no matter what the circumstances, and the other person found meaning in the horror he witnessed and experienced. Then a realization hit me! Deep, lasting happiness comes from within and this understanding became my first important step towards inner peace.
I make a "New Year's" resolution to conscientiously choose my decisions. Of course, changes start internally and then we proceed with a plan, at least for a few months. Every year at the gym, I've noticed that January and February are the busiest months. Wanting to change isn't always enough, sometimes we have to understand the "whys" behind it. I exercise for fun, keep my immune system healthy and resolved my fear and anger around weight. However, I still don't want to be height/weight/proportional because I miss my Grandma. She died when I was eight and showed her love through great cooking. This unresolved loss became my food obsession. The experiences we had as children are huge influences in our lives today, whether we acknowledge them or not. Once we understand the "whys," we can utilize skills to change our thinking for conscientious decision making.

Arguis a stylishly designed, urban chic, very ‘gastown’ looking establishment, putting out some of the best coffee in the city. Their bean selection is extensive, you can chose a dozen different ways to have your coffee brewed and in my experience the staff are friendly and infinitely knowledgeable about the beans we all know and love.
What I love about Revolver is that they often have various espresso beans to chose from. The menu at the counter is your guide to their flavour profiles, so you pick the one you want and the world class baristas get to work expertly steaming the milk. My latte was made with a Phil and Sebastian Nicaragua bean, giving it a rich flavour with delicious caramel notes. The milk was perfectly steamed, adding a great sweetness to the already sweet espresso shot.
There’s a couple of menu items I really enjoy in Revolver: One coffee done three ways or three coffees done one way. One coffee can be served in either Aeropress, pourover or french press style, or you can have three different coffee beans served via one of those methods. It’s a really interesting way of offering coffee, however at $12 it’s on the higher end of the scale.
Definitely the best coffee cake I’ve tried in Vancouver. Soft, moist, with heaps of raspberries, it is always a pleasure to wrap my taste buds around this baked masterpiece. In addition to this cake there are various muffins, cookies and pastries, all of which are high quality.
Sadly there are no lunch items in Revolver, so my advice is to pop across the road to Meat and Bread to have one of the best Porcetta sandwiches you’ll ever have.
Located in Gastown, off the beaten track somewhat, it’s easily accessible by bus and the Skytrain is a short walk away. There’s a parkade very close by that has dozens of car sharing (Car2go, Evo etc) spots in it.
Very stylish, very trendy and always clean and tidy. Revolver has a very typical Gastown look to it – white, wood, brick with a little rough around the edges feel to it all. There’s a great mural on the wall made of masonry nails that always impresses anyone new that accompanies me.
They also have a new venue/room next door called Archive, which is a great solution to their limited seating of the original venue. Archive has a great selection of coffee related books to read (I recommend Drift) as well as a great selection of equipment to buy so you can brew at home. Best of all there’s a communal table that encourages strangers to talk. If you’ve read any of my reviews you may have noticed that I’m a big fan of these.
There’s only a single bathroom stall in Revolver (shared with Archive), which is a shame because the place is always packed full of people. As such there’s sometimes a bit of a wait. The bathroom itself is nicely designed but can sometimes get a little messy. There appears to be a magnet in one of the counters that I will always bang my elbow on, but I think that’s more my issue than theirs!
I always find the staff at Revolver welcoming, friendly and very, very knowledgeable about coffee. I recommend telling them the kind of coffee or flavours you enjoy and then going with what they suggest. There are always plenty of baristas there too, which means you get your coffee pretty quickly (unless you’re ordering one coffee three ways in which case settle in for a wait, you dug your own grave there!).

Asylum seekers are currently subjected to an overly long waiting period for work authorization. During this time, they're financially and socially vulnerable due to their ihortening the wait time for asylum seekers' work authorization applications would help them establish their lives in the U.S.sooner.
What is it you people don't get? Seeking asylum is NOT illegal. Caging people Costs us money. The longer we do so the More it costs. Let these people get to work and become useful members of society and pay their way. For crying out loud act like the Christians you claim to be. That's funny Russell. The greatest quote that doesn't come from the Bible. It's Ben Franklin's and he was a Diest. And before that Aesop's Fables. Actually God helps those who are helpless.
If we don't want immigrants being a "burden" on our system, we should allow them to do what they came here to do: providdisagree with the argument that decreasing the wait time makes asylum more attractive. These folks have already cashed it all in to get here. They are motivated and anxious to be part of this country. Let them find work as soon as possible. Let's be an inclusive, supportive country that welcomes those who want to do what it takes to "Make America Great" again.
Argument Against: The 180 day wait time for asylum seekers' work authorizations is already too short, serving as a major draw for asylum seekers to come to the U.S. versus other countries. Shortening the wait time further is the exact opposite of what the U.S. should do; and in fact, the Trump administration is already seeking to extendto 365 days.
Considering how many illegals we have coming across the border thanks to leftist liberals absolutely not. Let's at least Verify these people. We have no idea who they are. Kinda putting the cart before the horse. As normal though this website is DISHONEST in there reporting.
👎🏻 H.R. 2813 AKA the "Asylum Seeker Work Authorization Act of 2019" 👎🏻 I stand strongly opposedwhich's claim is still being adjudicated. SneakyPete..... 👎🏻👎🏻HR.2813 👎🏻👎🏻. 6.21.19.....
While I can understand the argument for expediting the work process, there is a risk to not following the process. There is a reason for the process and as long as their application is still being adjudicated, their request for asylum has not been approved yet. The count is still 1....2....3, not 2...3...1.
IntroducedMay 16th, 2019
Prospective employers of asylum seekers; asylum seekers; and work authorization for asylum seekers.
In-Depth: Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME) introduced this bill to permit asylum seekers is being processed. In a meeting with a coalition of Maine mayors in Portland, Maine in which she announced her plans to introduced this legislation, Rep. Pingree said:
"What I heard today from these mayors is that the asylum seekers coming to their communities have opened up many opportunities—from increasing diversity to strengthening the labor force—but at asylum seekers must wait six months before they are eligible to work. My legislation would sharply reduce that period, so they can more quickly support their families and add their skills to Maine's workforce."
In a press release discussing an influx of asylum seekers to Portland, Maine, Rep. Pingree said:
"Most of the migrants who have arrived in Portland these past few days have had long, harrowing journeys from conflict-torn countries. These fe. For them, Maine means hope. Portland has long been a welcoming city for immigrants and refugees. We should celebrate that and be supportive in any way possible. It has been heartening to see city leaders and community partners come together so quickly on behalf of these individuals, as they often have before. On the federal level, we need overarching, comprehensive immigration reform. I introduced a bill to allow asylum seekers to gain work and contribute to our local economy quickly, rather than wait 180 days under current law. The United States should be giving newcomers, Rep. Pingree discussed this bill's necessity in the broader context of helping asylum seeksaying, "This could have an impact on these new asylum seekers, allowing them to work and b this community."
During the Trump administration, , Lee Francis Cissna, has sought to recast the agency as a strict enforcer of immigration laws. To this end, in April 2019, the Trump administration proposed an increase in the asylum seeker work authorization waiting period, from the current 180 days to a full year (365 days). The proposal, authored by USCIS officials, took the form of a not-yet finalized regulation. Simultaneously, the agency has been working on a separate proposal to institute a $50 fee for those who file for asylum after entering the U.S.move reflected the White House's frustration with granting work permits to asylum seekers soon after their entry into the country, which the administration perceives as "a major draw" for people to cross the border illegally whether or not they have a valid claim for asylum. The official characterized the current 180-day waiting period as "charity toward all, malice toward none."
Ur Jaddou, former USCIS chief counsel, criticized the proposed increase in work authorization wait time as nonsensical:
"It doesn't make any sense. If you'n'tdo?"
This bill has eight Democratic House cosponsors. Sen. Angus King (I-ME) but has yet to do so.
Human Rights First finds that the current work authorization permit wait time "leaves many asylum seekers, who are often traumatized and vulnerable, in precarious situations—" The organization reports that asylum seekers without means to survive "must rely on friends, family, or local communities for support," but some who lack support networks suffer abuse and exploitation as undocumented workers while waiting for work authorization. Otherss and go wanting for basic needs such as food and clothing. The organization adds that "[w], which further limits access to transportation, banking, and private-"

Seeking asylum in the United States is not only completely legal, but is protected by US and international laws. Asylees (both those seeking and those granted asylum) are not the dreaded "illegals" that a certain kind of American loves to hate. The alternative to letting asylees work is their being here without being How is that better for us as a nation? When people work, everyone is better for it. The fear that "they're coming to take our jobs" assumes a fixed number of jobs, which is not and never has been true. When asylees are working, they are less likely to need charity, so that charity can go to help others. Asylees are eligible for very limited state and federal assistance, and if allowed to work, typically pay about.
Let asylum seekers work on work permits as quickly as possible ... it is the best for our country and for the asylum seekers.
People need to work. Let them work.
Hopefully this will make the review more efficient. Give it a try.
These people are seeking Asylum due to what our military has done to their country. They provide better work per hour than any other I have worked with. The reason you feel they take jobs from citizens is that the person who's job is lost sucked at it anyway. Get a Grip!!!
No work permits. Instead, asylum claims should be processed in 30 days or less. We cannot have a liberal social welfare system AND open borders. One or the other. Not both.
Yes. The sooner people can get a legal status, the better.
For those people who say that immigrants are living off our taxes then how about making it quicker and easier for these poor people to legally work? They gladly take the crappiest jobs that no one else wants to do, work at back breaking labor, and we still throw obstacles in their way. Jesus would be tearing down way more than a temple here.
We must not be so shortsighted to think we don't need our neighbors. We need each other, plain and simple.
Give people asylum, shorten the time and let them work!! Immigrants add millions to the economy!!!
A man who is working will assimilate faster than one who is unproductive.

In cases where the performer is the composer these two separate copyrights still apply. If you create your own 'cover' to that melody with your own arrangement (even a single note arrangement) you owe the the composer royalties (usually paid through the Harry Fox agency, but not always, Disney has their own agency). To use the actual performance requires that you pay performance royalties, (usually through ASCAP/BMI).
However, the composer/publisher is ALWAYS due their royalties, no matter how you arrange the song.
Does this help clear the confusion?

So...... not being a guru in record industry legalities, what I gather from this thread is that each and every bar band playing a cover song at this moment (10:45 PM on a Friday in the US of A) is in mortal danger of being sued into oblivion. Seems a little far-fetched. It sounds somewhat like a legal ability that is brought into play when a company (note I don't say artist here) feels that they are losing a significant income (apparently more significant than a cut of the $5.00 at the door for Harry's House of Rock's band night).
Does this debate also apply to Midi file?
If midi files fall into the copywrite laws too, why are there so many web sites that offer midi's for free download?
All that aside, I don't think IMO, that anyone is losing, or making any money from any songs that have been played, posted, copied, or shared in game or in forums for LOTRO. If anyone is selling there services to transpose a song into ABC format, I think they would need to start looking for another job, I don't see the market in it. I also don't see Turbine making any extra money from their in game music system. Out of all the players of this game, there can't be many (-100) that bought the game soley for the in game music system. I may be worng on that, for I did read one post from someone who did buy the game for that reason, but although I don't post, I do read many of the post and have been since sept. 2005 when game was in beta.

Last edited by Cubrethil; Sep 09 2007 at 11:27 AM..What this all boils down to for those of us on these formus is:
I'm sorry your business was targeted by ASCAP, but I still don't think players in an MMORPG poorly strumming out a tune here and there are who these people are after. I mean, six-ten people in the Prancing Pony (a small private group) listening to me play Into the West doesn't really seem to be their focus.
(Note: Johnny the wanna-be gangsta and Suzy the junior high-schooler are fictional characters created for the purpose of illustrating a point in this threaIt's really the same thing. Outside of being in the Bree auction house the most people that will usually be around you at one time is 5 people. There are usually no more people in the Prancing Pony than there would be at a party in my home so I still don't see the issue.
If fact, even asking people to post copyrighted material is encouraging them to violate forum posting guidelines, which is itself a violation of the guidelines.
I've actually dealt with a bunch of copyright stuff on the non-legal level where a band or artist wants to re-perform a song that was written and/or recorded previously and contacts the artist/label directly to ask for permission and terms.
The actual terms vary widely but they are all depending on only a few key factors listed here in order of importance
#1 is the song in question current and selling?
#4 is the music part of an estate
#5 the projected level of income - if some local cover band from kansas wants to put your song on their CD it will probably cost less than if Jay-z wants to sample your music in his next song
So making a remake of the new Beyonce song would be insanely expensive if they even would let you do it. But then you would be surprised who will let you remake their music for free with only a few terms such as
-The song must be a new recording. You are forbidden to insert any part of the musician's original recording. So you can't just cut their vocals and have someone else singing over their music
These were the only two things that most artists asked for and a lot of them are pleasantly surprised when we even ask. Several of them have explained that they do notice when people post their work without permission but if the previous two criteria were followed then they don't have any issue with it. Many of them actually enjoy their work being remade as it helps to keep their music current and that means more sales of their own.

Intuitions and Krishna Consciousness!
A friend of mine keeps talking about intuitions and conscienses.He says that his intuitions are what Krishna wants him to do.According to him Vedas,Puranas and all other scriptures were given by ordinary humans only.I told him to read Gita but he said that his life experiences taught him enough about life.Even if i try to preach about Krishna consciousness he would say that i am in the clutches of Maya and that i should reconsider my thoughts.He holds some weird kind of thinking,according to him even by enjyoing one's life one can lead a life of a YOGI.I don't understand how?
I dont understand why he connects his intuitions and life experiences with spirituality?

Most of the people I've spoken to about this book have veryre are no feelings in the middle. I can kind of understand how it inspires those feelings, yet I am irrevocably indecisive, so I still find myself mostly in the middle of the road.
I enjoyed reading the book. It held my interest and I didn't really feel that the story lagged or the plot fell apart. That being said, I do take issue with some aspects of the book.
The challenge concept was a good idea, but there wasn't really the right balance of conflict throughout. At times there was so much focus on the challenge that there was a complete halt to the story, at others, the challenge seemed entirely forgotten. There was just a bit of a balance issue.
