It is easy to imagine all the wonderful things you could do, “if only . . !” If only what? If only you had more opportunities? More help? More money? More education? More skills? More advantages? Smaller challenges? Less difficulty? The list is endless, excuses continuous, and successes unaccomplished. A key to doing all you can do is the willingness to use all you have. What you don’t have can’t help you.
The Bible occasionally spotlights a person that rises out of obscurity to achieve something others did not dare to try. Have you ever heard of Shamgar? His name appears only twice in the Bible, and very little is known about him, except his name, his origin, and the very difficult national and personal times in which he lived. See Judges 5:6-8. Danger and desperation made daily life difficult. Israel’s men were disarmed and defenseless. Because of his fearless exploits, his fame was included in people’s songs and oral history years later.
What did he do? Well, first consider what he did not do. He did not dismiss the possibility of courage against unimaginable odds by calculating, “If only . .” and then doing nothing at all. Here’s what Shamgar did, single-handedly, “Shamgar . . struck down six hundred Philistines with an ox goad. He too saved Israel.” Judges 3:31 NIV. One man, unarmed, against six hundred Philistine warriors! He used what he had – an ox goad, a wooden stick tipped with bronze that a farmer used to prod his work animals. A common farm utensil, not much at all, except in the hands of a determined and courageous farmer, resulting in a rousing victory that stirred the heart of a nation against its enemy.
An unusual story? Yes, but not an uncommon one in the Bible, and in everyday life. It sounds familiar to me – like Moses and a shepherd’s staff, or Gideon and his trumpet, or Samson and a jawbone, or David and a slingshot, or a boy with a small lunch of bread and fish. God’s story is about using ordinary people in extraordinary ways when they are willing to use what they have for God’s purposes and glory.
You may not have what you want; you may not have everything you need; you may not have what others have; you do have something that God can use. “God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to . .” Romans 12:6-8 NLT. Remember, the key to doing all you can do is using all that you have.
My prayer for you today is to see the ordinary as a means for extraordinary achievement.
It seems increasingly common to feel overwhelmed. Knowing you are not alone in this may not be an especially consoling thought. Maybe it’s the accelerating pace of life, like the momentum of a snowball gathering speed downhill. Or maybe it’s the hurry and worry of deadlines for things that must get done, and the desperation of needs that must be met. Whatever the origin, feeling overwhelmed happens more than any of us would want, creating stress, anxiety, and poorer health. You can do all you can to avoid it; you can complain about it; you can crumble beneath its weight, or you will have to learn how to deal with it. What is a person to do?
You might momentarily feel better because of the sympathy and support of a friend; it’s good to have a friend who understands and walks alongside you. Also, Godly counsel can help you to maintain perspective and remind you of God’s promises and power, but there are times when turning to God in trust is the only thing that can help.
David knew what it was to feel overwhelmed – the distrust of those he trusted, the betrayal of a son, the encircling enemies, the weight of the crown, and the shame of his guilt – who wouldn’t feel overwhelmed? I’ll tell you what he did not do; he did not give up, nor run and hide. He turned his whole heart to his God! “I will cry to You (Lord) for help, for my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for You are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me. Let me live forever in Your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of Your wings.” Psalm 61:2 NLT.
When you are overwhelmed: take time! Schedules, more than circumstances, are frequently at the root of your feeling overwhelmed. Remove the hurry and you reduce the worry. Now here’s how you use that time. Take time to rest (time that you think you cannot afford to spare, you actually cannot afford to not set aside). Take time to share honestly with a Godly friend for counsel and prayer.
Take time to pray, inviting God’s help and direction. Don’t assume; ask! Praying makes a difference in you before it makes a difference in your situation. Take time to wait quietly before God. “I am content and at peace, as a child lies quietly in its mother’s arms, so my heart is quiet within me.” Psalm 131:2 TEV. Quiet your heart in God’s presence. Take time to listen. What’s the use of talking to God about the things you are feeling, if you fail to listen until you hear what God is saying?
Here’s God’s best advice: “Give your burdens to the Lord, and He will take care of you. He will not permit the Godly to slip and fall.” Psalm 55:22 NLT. Feeling overwhelmed can sometimes signal that you have allowed stuff to push God to the fringes of your everyday life. See 2 Corinthians 1:3-11 NLT.
My prayer for you today is that you keep God at the center of your heart and mind.
Have you ever noticed that when a child does not promptly obey, a parent will usually ask, “Did you hear me?” In the Greek language, the language in which most of the New Testament was written, the word obedience comes from the root word, “to hear.” Life is this simple; hearing presumes obedience.
It is a mistake to assume that a person will do better if they know more. So we give them more information, and wonder why they do not do better. More information is not what a wrongdoer needs. I have observed that the real problem is this: people are naturally inclined to do too little of what they know, rather than their knowing too little of what to do. Jesus gives people greater truth, not more information, and adds inspiration to that – the desire and power to do what you know to do. “It is God that works in you both to will and to do His good pleasure.” Philippians 2:13.
I was just a teen when my spiritual life was permanently changed at a youth service by a testimony from the newly saved mother of one of my friends. Whatever else she said, God spoke quietly but powerfully into my heart and life when she challenged us with a probing question Jesus asked, “Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and do not do the things that I say?” Luke 6:46 NIV. Read Matthew 7:24-27. If Jesus is your Lord, your obedience is not optional.
Jesus told a story of a father who asked each of his two sons to work in his vineyard. The first son said that he would not work, but later decided that he would do as his father asked. The other said that he would work in the vineyard, but ultimately did not. He knew what his father wanted, and simply chose not to bother. Jesus asked his listeners, “Which son did the will of the father?” Matthew 21:28-31 NIV.
The correct answer is, neither. They both had sufficient information of their father’s need and intent, but neither of them had sufficient interest to do what they knew. You are never commended for eventually doing what you knew to do much earlier. Procrastinated obedience is actually just temporary disobedience. To obey is to do fully and promptly what you know clearly to do! See James 5:1 NLT.
My prayer for you today is that you know the will of God for your life, and do it!
Whether in life or business, it is always best to have some understanding about the person with whom you do business. That is definitely true in the realm of your spiritual life. The enemy of your soul, and enemy of everything that is good, is neither naïve or harmless. Jesus described him like this, “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy . . Be alert; your enemy, the devil, prowls around . . looking for someone to devour.” John 10:10 NIV/1 Peter 5:8 NIV. Make no mistake; he is no friend.
Your spiritual enemy has the character of a thief and liar. You cannot believe anything he says or promises, and nothing you value is safe from his destructive intent – your good name and reputation, your hopes and happiness, or your dreams and future. His method is, and always has been, to look for easy prey. His unrelenting objective is to kill and destroy. And he succeeds when he lulls you into carelessness. Your best defense is: be wary; be wise!
You were born with a place in your heart that God alone can fill. Nothing, and no one, can fill that. Some people try anything and everything – every unconstrained appetite, thrill-seeking amusement, irrational relationships, and personal achievements – but usually are left emptier and lonelier than when they began. That’s really sad, isn’t it?
Jesus met a woman like that; she came thirsty to draw water from a familiar well. Jesus told her “the water that I give is living water . . people soon become thirsty again after drinking this water. But the water I give them takes away thirst altogether . . becomes a perpetual spring within them, giving them eternal life.” John 4:5-15 NLT. Her search was over; her deepest longing was satisfied. What Jesus promises you is found nowhere else, ever.
Look at the lives of Joseph and David. Both faced similar temptations. Who would know? One was in a foreign country far from home; the other was a King none dare challenge or correct. Joseph reacted to Potiphar’s wife in a vastly different way than David responded to Bathsheba, Uriah’s wife. David looked and kept looking until there was no turning back; the results were disastrous. Joseph turned and ran away quickly; he saved himself. I love the question Joseph asked, “How could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Genesis 39:9 NIV. That’s a very good question when you or a friend are about to compromise your faith and convictions.
The Bible’s advice is still the best advice today. “If sinners entice you, turn your back on them . . don’t go along with them. Stay far away from their paths.” Proverbs 1:10/15 NLT. Realize there are chances you should not take, habits you cannot afford, compromises you dare not make, places you should not be, and friends whose influence is not to your good. Be wary; be wise!
My prayer for you today is that you live right before God, and stay far from wrong.
Ever feel like someone or something is in your way? You know you could do so well, if only there was nothing hindering your progress. Occasionally there is a person who stands between you and where you need to go, limiting what you need to do – or at least you think that is the case at the time. You can blame them; you can resent them; you can try to remove them, but that will seldom work for you. people can “get in your way” and not even mean to do so.
It is even possible that God might “get in your way” in some instance. If and when that happens you can be sure that it is His love, preventing you from continuing on a path that would be not be for your best, harmful even ruinous. Ever try to fight against God? How is that working for you? That happened to Saul of Tarsus, until there was a showdown on the road to Damascus. Read Acts 9:1-20. Saul found out that he was in God’s way. His intention was to destroy this new and growing group of Christ’s followers. He meant well; he meant to preserve the Jewish faith in which he had been so excellently schooled. But he was wrong, sincere but very wrong. See Philippians 3:1-11 NLT.
God loves you too much to allow you to prosper on a path you should not pursue. He will try at every turn to persuade you to turn around and turn to Him, not away from Him. “There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death . . what you think is the right road may lead to death.” Proverbs 14:12 NLT/16:25 TEV. God may use people and/or circumstances to make you reconsider your course. The Bible gives wise advice in such moments, “if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing. But if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest you even find be found to fight against God.” Acts 5:38-39 NKJV. Fighting against God is not a battle you can win; ask Jacob. Genesis 32:24-31 NIV.
However, let me suggest where you more likely may find most of the obstacles that make your progress more difficult – look in the mirror. Many times, the obstructions you must confront are wrong attitudes that you indulged along the way, maybe without recognizing them as such.
Negativity turns you in a wrong direction. “A pessimist looks at every opportunity and sees a problem; an optimist looks at any problem and sees an opportunity.” (President Harry Truman). Look around; people do not follow negative people; it’s clear they’re going nowhere.
Over-sensitivity leaves you beside the road alone. It is deadly to relationships to think that everything is about you. It’s not! Don’t be so thin skinned. Others are too busy to be always worrying about you.
Pride results in God’s opposition. “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 1 Peter 5:5-6 NIV/Proverbs 16:18 NIV. You want God on your side, helping you not opposing you. Can you see any habit or attitude that prevents you from being your best, and doing what you need to do? Deal with it quickly and honestly; you can turn any stumbling block into a stepping stone, if you will.
My prayer for you today is that you let nothing stand in the way of being your best. | 2019-04-19T16:19:01Z | https://www.allenrandolph.com/?m=201007 |

Can't Be Afraid of the Gruyère, Best French Onion Soup Recipe. - Cooking Yo!
You are here: Home / Baked Goods / Can’t Be Afraid of the Gruyère, Best French Onion Soup Recipe.
Can’t Be Afraid of the Gruyère, Best French Onion Soup Recipe.
3 Large Vidalia Onion sliced root to stem.
Approximately .35 lb of Cave aged Gruyère cheese ( This recipe doesn’t do cups. You go to the supermarket and the good cheese is sold by the pound, not by the cup). When in doubt get more than less.
Place some olive oil and the butter in to the cast iron skillet. Heat to medium, add the onion and sauté for 10-15 minutes. Add a pinch to a few of sugar to the onions. (This will help caramelize the onions). It normally takes 30-60 minutes to Caramelize the onions, closer to 60. If the pan gets a little dry don’t be afraid to add a little olive oil or even more butter. Just don’t let them get dry because they will burn. This is where the finesse factor kicks in. When the onions are well caramelized, but not burnt add the garlic. and get it mixed in well with the onion.
Deglaze the caramelized onion with the cooking sherry. Mix well for a minute or two. Add the beef stock, dry Thyme, bay leaves, partially cover, reduce heat and simmer for at least a half hour. You can simmer longer but reduce the gap that you left exposed from your lid. I’ll simmer for 2-3 hours and it turns out real yummy. Say you don’t have a big ol’ lid for your skillet. No problem, 1 or 2 sheets of aluminum foil will work in a pinch. Or you can transfer all the contents to a Dutch Oven and finish it that way.
Let’s discuss bread. I use a grocery store french baguette. I will cut an end off, stick it in the crock, get the ol’ bread knife out and slice it flush-ish with the bowl. You can use either 2 or 3 slices in the soup. If you like a more liquidy soup use 2, a more bready soup use 3. I will then toast the slices slightly in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 250-300 degrees. Feel free to toast your bread how ever you like it. If you like you can get a little LOCO and coat the bread with olive oil or even garlic butter!
After the soup has simmered to your liking, remove the bay leaves, and add a final bit of salt and pepper. You now should be good to go. Scoop the onions and broth into the crocks, add as much Gruyère as you can humanly stack on top of the soup, then just a smidge of Parmesan. Place the crocks in to a preheated broiler at 350 degrees Farenheit for around 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and slightly browned. Serve immediately. It will be really hot so wear proper protective gear for your hands and be careful placing it on delicate surfaces. I use a silicone mat or a square potholder. Otherwise my bride would kill me for destroying the Black Walnut breakfast bar.
Enjoy, and don’t burn your tongue!

The footbridge conects the city park and the important square – Karmelitanplatz in Graz.
Karmelitanplatz is located close to the city centre. There is one of the main access roads to Schlossberg- the famous city hill. The Forum Stadtpark is located in the city park. A lot of cultural events are held there. There are also a popular fountain and Stadtpark Kafé, one of the well-known café in Graz.
The organic structure of the footbridge grows up in the city park. The footbridge follows the existing road in front of the Forum Stadtpark. The footbridge waves through trees in the park, spans over the city walls and continues to the Karmelitanplatz. It brings a little bit of greenery from the park to the city centre. The city walls divide the bridge to the two parts, but the footbridge has the organic character in whole its leghnt. S-shaped ripple is repeated in the city part of the footbridge, but it is more moderate there.
The footbridge has to overcome over the city walls on one side 6m and on the other side 3m. The direct distance from the point A to the point B is 100 metres. But the bridge is S-shaped and is 150 metres long.
One of the reasons why I´ve decided to extend the bridge was because of a gradient 6% which should be preserved for comfortable walking.
Thanks to this S-shaped ripple the footbridge avoids existing trees in the park, too.
The other reason was to make the walk more interesting, so that´s why the bridge is oriented to the view to Schlossberg and Stadtpark coffee.
The structure consists of different steel elements: a main girder, 8 columns, 2 arches of trusses, 32 bars of trusses, 22 crosspieces in the part with arches, 34 crosspieces in the part with columns, 110 outer longerons, 470 inner longerons, cross bracing and round tension elements.
The main girder is supported by columns and truss arches in the part of main ripple. The girder follows the middle axis of the bridge but in the part with arches it comes from one side to another. Crosspieces on the girder are connected by outer longerons and inner longerons and together carry a bridge deck. The bridge deck is made of oak lamellas. A railing is welded to outer longerons. Infilling of the railing is wire mesh.
The bridge is illuminated in dark. Lightings are placed between wooden lamellas and into poles of handles, too.
Supported elements (bridge deck etc.) transfer the load to supporting elements (truss, columns etc.). Bending moments and shearing forces have a decisive effect. The task of foundations is to spread the high load under columns and arches of trusses to the continual load in footing bottoms.
Horizontal forces (wind) may cause deflection or turnover of the bridge. Columns and arches are fixed to foundations. This restraining provides a stability of the construction and the bridge is resistant to these forces.
Deflection of the bridge occurs to a maximum of 3 cm in one of the arches in the case of the most extreme load. The bridge is structurally satisfactory. | 2019-04-23T21:53:12Z | http://barborastefkova.cz/architecture/footbridgegraz/ |

Ski resorts can provide a quintessential Currier and Ives Christmas experience. Even if Mother Nature fails to cooperate, resort management can make enough snow to simulate a white Christmas. Most resorts offer some sort of winter holiday celebration, but some go the extra mile to create a memorable Christmas ski vacation. Most resorts have terrain for all levels, state-of-the-art snow-making and offer Christmas programming that is rarely experienced at other resorts.
The hills come alive with the Christmas spirit in Stowe, VT. This picturesque town is often suggested as the best place to bring a non-skiing significant other. Stowe, founded in 1794, is known for its winding roads, covered bridges and steepled churches. Its historic Main Street is home to a diversity of shops and restaurants. The Stowe Community Church has a non-denominational Christmas Eve service, and a Handel's Messiah Community Sing-In. Alpine skiers will enjoy the world-class Stowe Mountain Resort. The Trapp Family Lodge, owned by the Von Trapp family of “Sound of Music Fame," has Nordic skiing, snowshoeing and sleigh rides.
The Omni Mount Washington Resort was built in 1902. This grand hotel, famous for its ornate Spanish Renaissance Revival architecture, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It's on the property of the Bretton Woods Ski Resort, which has groomed trails that are an intermediate skier's paradise. Skiers returning from the slopes are greeted by the sound of carolers roaming through the lobby and the smell of hot apple cider and chestnuts roasting on an open fire. The Omni Mountain Resort offers a Holiday Traditions Package, which includes accommodations, daily breakfast, a hand-picked tree and wreath from the nearby Rocks Estate and a group sleigh ride.
The Copper Mountain Ski Resort and its neighboring town of Frisco, CO, offer a variety of Christmas activities. In 2010, the festivities start Dec. 4, when local merchants compete in the annual wassail recipe contest. A wassail is a type of English apple cider. Visitors can shop, try the wassails and vote on your favorite. Santa is available for photos at Frisco Historic Park, and he and his elves visit the Copper Mountain Resort during Christmas. On Christmas Eve, the resort's ski-school staff performs a traditional torchlight parade down the mountain, and Santa, his elves and his reindeer lead a torchlight parade through the Village at Copper.
Breckenridge is in a former Victorian mining town that has preserved many of its historic homes and buildings and has a variety of Christmas events. The Breckenridge Heritage Alliance sponsors story-telling and Christmas parties at its free museums. Breckenridge Stables offers carriage rides around the town. The Breckenridge Ski Resort does its torchlight parade on New Year's Eve, and the Breckenridge Recreation Center provides a special New Year's Eve party for kids, which features dinner and kid-friendly activities. You can stay on mountain, but most of the fun happens in town. The Fireside Inn is located on French Street, which is where most of the towns authentic Victorian homes are located. The inn is across the street from the Father Dyer Church. During the mining era of the 1800s, Dyer when form town to town on his skis, delivering the mail along with the word of God. The church offers a Christmas Eve candlelight celebration with a somewhat different spin. Music is provided by the Father Dyer jazz Ensemble.
Town of Frisco: What's a Wassial?
Mercer, Lisa. "Christmas Ski Vacations." Travel Tips - USA Today, https://traveltips.usatoday.com/christmas-ski-vacations-2220.html. Accessed 23 April 2019. | 2019-04-24T00:54:08Z | https://traveltips.usatoday.com/christmas-ski-vacations-2220.html |
Are you a big holiday tipper? If so, you're probably in the minority, according to a national survey by Consumer Reports. Consumer Reports asked 1,900 people who they tipped and who they stiffed during the holiday season and found that the majority tipped just two types of people -- housekeepers and teachers -- and they didn't tip overwhelmingly generously.
Everyone else was more likely to get stiffed than tipped, according to the survey. But that's based on the national average, said Tobie Stanger, a CR editor who led the research effort. Who you tip and how much you give is a very regional affair. People who live in big cities and the coasts were more generous than those living in middle America, she said. Who you are expected to tip can even vary by neighborhood.
Stanger says the school bus driver gets tipped in her neighborhood, even though bus drivers didn't register on the survey. A lot of New Yorkers tip their doormen, too. But the magazine didn't come up with a median tip for doormen because there wasn't enough data to deliver national numbers. There just aren't a ton of doormen in California and Kansas.
If you move into a new neighborhood, Stanger suggests you get tips on tipping from the neighbors so you don't run afoul of local custom. The Emily Post foundation provides practical tips on tipping too.
"If you think tipping is important, it really needs to be part of your holiday budget -- just like food and postage and wrapping paper," she said.
Need help on who gets tipped and how much? Here are the results from Consumer Reports latest survey showing who consumers tipped and stiffed and how much they got. The tip amounts are medians -- the midpoint between highs and lows. That filters out the super-generous tippers, who gave $500 to the housekeeper, as well as the penny-ante tips from the Scrooges among us.
Hairdresser: Just 48% of those surveyed gave their hairdresser a holiday gift. Median value: $20.
Newspaper delivery: As newspapers have struggled in recent years, Stanger said customers have apparently become more likely to tip the delivery people getting up in the wee hours to plop their newspaper paper in the bushes. Some 49% tipped the newspaper carrier. Median value: $15.
Manicurist: 48% gave something to their manicurist at the holidays. Median value: $15.
Mail Carrier: To be fair, the postal service discourages tipping, telling patrons that they shouldn't give cash and can only give gift cards if they're worth less than $20 and can't be turned into cash. That means 79% of mail carriers get nothing. The 21% who get something, get a gift worth $20.
Gardener: Only 23% of those surveyed tipped the lawn crew, according to Consumer Reports. That's the bad news. The good news is that the tip amount was the second-most generous recorded in the survey. Median tip: $25.
Barber: It's clearly better to cut a woman's hair than a man's. Almost half of women tipped their hairdresser; just 34% of guys tipped the barber. But the tip amount was the same. Median value: $20. | 2019-04-18T23:00:45Z | https://www.cbsnews.com/news/holiday-tipswho-gets-tippedand-stiffed/ |

Home Entrepreneur Does Appearance Matter?
The way you look can affect you not only in your daily life but also in your working life. Studies show that if you are well-groomed and dressed in a professional manner, chances are you will go further in your workplace. If you ask yourself, “Would you be more inclined to trust a major client to the employee who wears sweats and flip flops or to someone who is dressed in a suit?” you’ll realize just how important how you present yourself is to your career. When you dress the part and groom for it, you are more likely to be noticed and thought of as more organized and smarter than someone who dresses in casual attire all the time. Forbes did economic studies indicating that those with good grooming are more likely to raise the level of their income.
It is never easy to change that first impression, so you don’t want to waste any chance you have to meet with those who can benefit your career and do it while looking as sharp as possible. This also includes social settings and events. Appearances matter, so dress to match the culture of your work environment. Taking care of your appearance is the easiest way to get ahead.
In PR, that professional appearance could differ somewhat from one office to another. A boutique firm specializing in high fashion brands might need a few outfits with designer labels and some expensive and stylish shoes. Build that wardrobe with care, buy classic suits and then add fashionable colors and patterns with accessories. If you work for a PR firm specializing in lobbying or financial services, your clothing choices should be of the more conservative nature, but still, buying two well-fitted suits (whether for men or women) in classic colors instead of five or six cheap knockoffs will work better, even if that means you have to repeat the suit a few times a week. Get quality and then add shirts or blouses and other accessories that feel comfortable but may not be as high-end so you can buy a few more and change them out more often. Cleanliness is another major factor in looking professional. Use deodorant, brush your hair and teeth, and floss those teeth, too.
While appearance and grooming matter, back it up with substance. Be willing to learn not only your job but how to get along with others. Top PR companies want you to represent them, so think professional. If you dress the part, you are more likely to think the part. PR companies also want you to talk the talk. This not only shows you know how to represent your company in a favorable light, but also that you remain professional at all times (i.e., no swearing or inappropriate comments).
Finally, don’t forget that your image is a combination of how you present yourself and your knowledge and understanding of the job. That’s the final touch: Confidence! Confidence shows in how you look and how you present yourself, but you’re never going to have it until you also know you can do your job with the best of them.
Now, go out and shine like the professional you are. | 2019-04-26T10:32:42Z | http://ronntorossian.com/does-appearance-matter/ |

Chain and the Gang- Cemetery Map - Down with Liberty...Up with Chains!
So, after Fucked Up released "David Comes to Life"--a rock opera about a dude from a fictional UK town--they put out a Record Store Day compilation with a bunch of bands from that fake city. Fake bands. So, in addition to writing a critically acclaimed album, they wrote and recorded an additional album worth of songs that they knew they wouldn't really even use. That's so amazing.
I was away last week in New York seeing Jeff Mangum in Asbury Park, and generally eating/drinking my way through the island of Manhattan. In my absence, Neha subbed for me. Here are all the songs she played!
I won't be around this week to do this show because I'm flying to New York to see Jeff Mangum play live (dreamscomefuckingtrue), but DJ Neha will do a great job subbing, I am sure. See you guys in two weeks. | 2019-04-19T01:17:26Z | http://square.kuci.org/2011/10/ |

As seen from a present day perspective, the time which Nikola Tesla invested into his 1899 Colorado "expedition" appears to have been some of his most productive. This might be because he had considered the previous ten years of research as practice for the work that was being conducted at the now well-known Experimental Station. Or perhaps it is from the many recorded observations dating from this period and the group of important patents would appear over the next few years. In fact, work on the applications for these fundamental radio patents began while Tesla was still in Colorado. One major account that is related in the Colorado Springs Notes and in an article titled "The Transmission of Electrical Energy Without Wires," has to do with an unusual natural radio phenomenon that Tesla observed during and after an intense thunder storm which passed close by his Colorado lab.
The receiver that he used appears to have built around an oscillatory transformer similar to the type employed for high frequency lighting. (See Nikola Tesla: Lecture Before the New York Academy of Sciences — April 6, 1897 for details about these devices.) Located on the primary side of the transformer were a sensitive device known as a rotating coherer and a mica condenser both connected to an elevated terminal and to ground. The primary side of the circuit also included a battery for placing a small dc voltage across the coherer and a mechanical switch known as a "break." During normal operation the make-and-break device would open and close about 72 times per second. In the secondary side of the circuit was another coherer and battery plus a delicate relay which responded by closing every time a lightning discharge occurred in the general vicinity. This type of receiver was extremely sensitive, being capable of recording effects as distant as an estimated 500 miles.
On July 4 Tesla writes that his observations began as the storm was approaching and still at a distance of 80 to 100 miles. The relay on the elegantly simple receiver must have begun to chatter practically as soon as all the connections were made. As the storm came closer, the relay continued to respond even as it was adjusted to its least sensitive setting. As the storm continued on past the lab is when, in Tesla's word's, "the most interesting and valuable observation was made." The relay was once again adjusted to be more sensitive and it continued to respond for a while and then stopped. After an unspecified time had passed the relay again responded for a while and then once again ceased to play. As recorded by Tesla this on-again off-again action continued to repeat itself with a period of about 30 minutes, at the very least six or seven times, on into the evening. He writes, "most of the horizon was clear by that time."
A number of people have speculated as to what, exactly, Tesla had seen that summer long ago. One proposal, put forth in the Proceedings of the Tesla Centennial Symposium, is that mechanical vibrations were being detected which were the result of terrestrial piezoelectric interactions associated with the lightning strikes. Another theory has it that the varying ground currents were the result of stationary waves created by reflections off the Pikes Peak mountain range. Tesla himself considered two other possibilities for the creation of what he believed were stationary waves anchored to their moving point of origin. The first and, at the time, to him least probable, was that they were the result of reflections from the point of the earth's surface diametrically opposite to the storm. More likely, in his mind, was that they resulted from reflections which took place within the storm itself, at a point very close to the origin of the initial wave packets.
In 1994 a new premise was set forth by Kenneth and James Corum in a paper presented at the biennial Tesla Symposium in Colorado Springs. The proposed model is an adaptation of waveguide theory and draws upon a method of treating radiation sources in a waveguide that calls for the existence of "images" which mirror an assumed dipole source. These images in combination with the source itself can be said to form what appears to be broadside array of radiating elements. Furthermore, the radiation from these sources, being coherent, can interfere and cast side lobes that appear as maxima and nulls along the waveguide walls.
"The chief discovery which satisfied me thoroughly as to the practicability of my plan was made in 1899 in Colorado Springs, where I carried on tests with a generator of 1500 KW capacity and ascertained that under certain conditions the current was capable of passing across the entire globe and returning from the antipodes to its origin undiminished in strength. It was a result so unbelievable that the revelation at first almost stunned me."
The Corums' 1994 analysis provides us with a highly plausible physical model to explain Tesla's lightning related observations during the stormy summer of 1899. It is also quite apparent that that year's ground breaking experiments with a specially designed high power electrical oscillator thoroughly convinced Tesla that he was seeing indications of electrical earth resonance. This raises the question: while in he was in Colorado Springs did Tesla ever observe any indications of interference between the outgoing waves that were induced by his experimental VLF transmitter and incoming waves reflected from the antipode?
Tesla's VLF receiver must have been very similar to the circuit illustrated here. Each of the two coherers c and c' were constructed from a short section of 3/8 inch I.D. glass tubing capped with two brass plugs. The intervening space was partially filled with course nickel chips. The two adjacent batteries B and B' were adjusted with resistors r and r' to strain the devices to a point where they were just about to break down and become conducting. An incoming signal would drive the potential across the device beyond its threshold causing a much stronger battery current to flow. A clockwork drive mechanism was used to continuously rotate the small glass cylinders thus decohering the chips after each received impulse. It is now believed that coherers are uniquely suited to detect the particular type of natural radio phenomenon that Tesla observed in 1899. | 2019-04-19T08:46:39Z | http://tfcbooks.com/articles/tws6.htm |

Bake at for about 15 minutes, until golden brown. If some of the purses open during cooking, you can seal them back together quickly right after you take them out, when they are still hot. | 2019-04-20T16:12:30Z | http://inspiredreamer.com/nutella-and-banana-pastry-purses/ |
Na An, the creator of the highlighted project Series posters by Na An explains, Five-thousand phylogeny of Chinese art is the economic and cultural phylogeny of China. “The Moon Shines the Huaxia” gives priority to the development of Chinese crafts art, which represents the grand and magnificent history of Chinese civilization in a panoramic way. Ups and downs in Chinese history, from primitive society to Qing Dynasty, are just like “the phase of the moon”, bright or dim, wax or wane. That is the reason why we call it “The Moon Shines the Huaxia”.. | 2019-04-18T23:14:31Z | http://magazinefordesign.com/article.php?ID=25603 |

Any idea when the carriage return issue might be fixed? Surely it's not a difficult issue to track down in the code and you could issue a dot release to address this quite quickly.
I raised a ticket on the loss of spaces/indents/formatting issue that arrived in 6.0.6 and was told that it would be addressed in a "(cross platform) rendering engine" to be released sometime later this year. Given the highly publicised critique of Evernote by a long time supporter here: http://jasonkincaid.net/2014/01/evernote-the-bug-ridden-elephant/ I find the response from Evernote somewhat disappointing - a new version introduces a bug but rather than fix the bug we get "oooh look, shiny shiny new version as some point" Based on this I'm stuck/sticking to 6.0.5 until that bug is fixed.
Just upgraded last week and ran into this. Some bugs are annoying, some can be worked around - this for me is making Evernote unusable as I work a lot with fixed width fonts and terminal output, requiring that the formatting is retained to make the data readable. I've logged a support ticket for this and hope they fix it real soon.
Thanks for the reply. I've just upgraded to 6.0.3 and the problem is still there for me also. I had an update on my ticket saying that they've recreated the problem and the issue has now been fed back to the product team. As a workaround, I've discovered that if you press the CTRL key and Home or End, this achieves the same thing.
Just upgraded to 6.0.1 and the problem is still there. | 2019-04-21T04:43:21Z | https://discussion.evernote.com/profile/160060-jayce/ |
Determine program needs – i.e., through a needs assessment, budgeting, etc.
Determine sources of support – i.e., government and foundation grants, partnering/in-kind services, sponsorships, etc.
Make the ask – i.e., submit a proposal for funds, technical assistance, staff, etc.
Evaluate and report program impact – i.e., measure student success, report to funders, etc.
Each step breaks down into multiple tasks to assess thoroughly your needs, secure your support and study the program’s impact to discover future needs.
Think sustainability. To create a program that works, your sustainability plan should be specific. What role will parent fees play? Where will you seek funds? How can you use in-kind resources? Who are your logical partners? Who will approach donors and/or write proposals? How can you take the long view to stay in business?
Make a plan. Start from your mission statement and strategic plan. Allocate adequate time to meet with stakeholders, review data and do some thinking about a plan to sustain your program. Research is required to identify your most likely funding sources.
Gather data. Plan to evaluate. Few programs get funded without showing that they are serving a real need and are able to perform. Expansion and even continuation is usually impossible without evidence of quality. Organize data you already have (waiting list numbers, etc.) and community interest as well as the value of what you are already delivering. Use data from the school district help establish need. | 2019-04-21T11:09:52Z | https://psaydn.webaika.com/home/fund-and-sustain-a-program/ |
I'm excited to share about everything that has been going on in Focus over the past month. It amazes me how God works through inexperienced, weak, and sinful people like us to accomplish his good will, and how he somehow manages to pour out blessing after blessing on us along the way. God is good.
I'll start this update by talking about something that's been really exciting to me. We have partnered with another Christian group on campus to focus on beginning friendships with people from the Middle East. We were approached by this group because they saw how there wasn't much purposeful contact between American Christians and Middle Eastern students. So we began to meet in a small room on campus Friday mornings from 10:30 to noon. We call this Turkish Coffee Time. It is a time to meet students from the Middle East, eat and drink their customary coffee and snacks, and have conversations about life, culture, religion, and other things. We have met twice so far and it's been really cool to see our students coming and meeting people. We plan to do this every week and establish this as a way to continually reach out to this student group.
Our times of worship this semester have been really meaningful. We have 12...yes, 12 different people leading our worship this semester. We've moved away from the paradigm that the worship leader needs to be a male singer with a guitar, and decided that we want to develop worship leaders no matter what their musical gifting. So we gave each student a week to lead our community in worship. After they think through some ideas about what to do they get with Cody, our intern, and the two of them finalize the worship plan. The result has been deep, engaging, and meaningful worship led by young students who are seeing, some for the first time, the endless possibilities in worshipping our God. We've had prayer nights, times to write out our thoughts to God in praise, different people share about why songs are important to them, and more.
To finish up, this month has not been one marked merely by good tidings and easy sailing. We have encountered resistance from the enemy on multiple fronts. People getting gravely sick, spiritual attacks, deception, and a host of other issues have made this month a difficult one. I ask that you please be in prayer over these things. Pray for the Ephesians 6 kind of strength that we need to overcome these things. Remember us, who are working on the campus on behalf of Christ, and pray for our endurance. We need your help here more than anywhere. We are confident of the Lord's hand in these things, and trust he will continue to lead us now, as he always has. Thank you so much for your partnership and support. We are so grateful to have allies such as you in this battle! | 2019-04-25T01:55:30Z | http://garrett.anyfocus.org/2015/03/march-ministry-update.html |

Is cable television is hurtful or helpful for our society in 2015? This is not a new question. 2015 marks the 30 year anniversary of the 1985 publication of Neil Postman's "Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business." Postman's book lays out multiple arguments that show how cable television is . . . | 2019-04-24T14:37:22Z | https://nathanbranson.silvrback.com/tags/luddites |

How often have you hit a golf ball straight when doubt entered your mind just as you were about to swing? How often have you avoided a conversation because you doubted your ability to navigate it? Or how often have you held back from giving yourself fully to reaching a goal, because you doubted your ability to succeed?
When doubt creeps in, it slams on the brakes. It keeps us out of the game or has us play on the fringes. In some cases, our doubts are legitimate. If we doubt a person’s intentions when they’ve shown little character in the past, that is probably wisdom at work. If we doubt our ability to deliver a speech when we spent little time preparing, we are justified in being less than confident. In many cases, however, our doubts are not based on anything substantive. Instead, they are based on unfounded fears or lack of information.
I am in the business of doubts. Extensive research indicates that the greatest factor associated with disengagement from the church is unaddressed doubts. Let doubt linger about the goodness of God after a season of pain and discouragement, and you will likely drift from Him. Wonder whether the Bible offers anything distinctive or should claim any authority over your life, and you’ll find yourself with little impetus to read its pages. I meet with people all the time who have doubts like these and are stuck because of them. I get it. Doubts do this to us. Doubts have done it to me.
But what if your doubts are of the unfounded kind? What if there are good answers to your questions and concerns that you just never sought out? If you were crippled physically, wouldn’t you do a little research to see if there was some way to alter your condition? Maybe your search would yield nothing, but it certainly would be worth the effort. Why not take the same approach to address the doubts that cripple your willingness to pursue worthwhile goals, better relationships, or a walk with God? Maybe you will find nothing. But maybe you’ll discover a breakthrough—a breakthrough that changes your perspective, maybe even your future.
It’s a New Year. Don’t let your doubts linger. | 2019-04-22T06:21:19Z | http://www.jkhlibrary.com/home/doubts-can-cripple-you1 |
****... That was one I thought would stay..
Agreed... Hope it all works out for him. I think he would have benefitted significantly from one additional year, particularly with the hiccup this year from the off season medical stuff. I think he maxes out at 3rd round, more likely to be in the 4th... if it's later than that, he may be screwed just due to lack of commitment to see if he develops. NFL draft is a weird animal... right place/right time is more important than almost everything else.
Man I hate to lose Trent but it sounds like his family needs his help with that NFL money. Hard to tell how the draft will go for him but I think he will be just fine once he gets in the league. Can’t wait to see him on Sundays!
Good luck to TT, his draft stock really dropped this year. Really an awkward year for him. He was overshadowed quite a bit late in the season by other lineman. Hopefully he will show out at the combine and move back toward the top rounds of the draft.
Yep, could kind of see this one coming very easily. As you said Carter, money is the big motivator, and understandable. That's why it's still very possible we lose Deandre Baker as well. He was raised in the same hood as Devonte Freeman, and we all know how bad Free has talked about that situation. I hope he comes back, but couldn't blame him if he chooses to hurry up and get his family out of that situation.
With Trent, I wont be surprised to see him as a 2nd round draft pick. Assuming he clears the hurdle of this years past offseason stuff during the NFL teams interviews, he's clearly got the talent to be a premier interior pass rusher at the next level.
Agree with all of the above. Believe 1 more year and he could be a first rounder.
But totally understand that family is first.
Trent to the falcons !!!
Would love to have had him stay, but good luck to TT in the NFL.
Interior DL help that might still be around late in the 3rd round? Sign me up.
It is time for underclassmen to declare whether or not they intend to leave school early for the NFL Draft. January 15 is the deadline for players to decide. Junior All-American linebacker Roquan Smith is the first one to watch.
Smith is proving to be an interesting study. According to most draft experts, Smith will be a first-round selection, expected to go with the 15th, 16th or 17th pick. But will he go? At first glance this seems like a no-brainer, but after last year’s decisions by Nick Chubb, Sony Michel, Davin Bellamy and Lorenzo Carter to return, Smith may be considering doing the same (although it should be noted none of the other four were projected to go in the first round).
Word is that Smith has renewed his apartment lease for Spring Semester, although a final decision has not been made. He could be just using that as a place to live while he preps for the Draft. We should hear something over the next few days. Should Smith decide to stay, the University is in position to help the Montezuma native acquire an insurance policy to protect against injury and loss of Draft status. There have been murmurs that Smith is considering staying for another season, although I’ll still be surprised if he does. Stay tuned.
Jonathan Ledbetter and Deandre Baker both told reporters in Los Angeles that they intend to return for their senior years. …Center Lamont Gaillard continue to offer "no comment" as to whether he intends to stay or leave.
Nadab Joseph was supposed to enroll early but we are told is is holding off for now and will arrive with the rest of the class most likely in June.
New outside linebackers coach Dan Lanning started his job with the Bulldogs on Tuesday, immediately upon the team’s return from the national championship game.
Lanning replaces Kevin Sherrer, who was hired by Jeremy Pruitt to become the defensive coordinator at Tennessee.
There’s more coaching news to come.
Schools can now add a 10th assistant to their respective staffs, and word is that Kirby Smart will make an announcement soon. It’s been speculated that Smart will turn to Jay Johnson, who spent last year as a quality control coach for offense. Tyson Summers could be added as an analyst.
Smart also has openings for a special teams analyst after Scott Fountain took an assistant job at Mississippi State, while strength coach Scott Sinclair has an opening after assistant Aaron Feld accepted a job to become the head strength coach at Oregon.
This is the time of year when players undergo any kind of needed surgery to correct any injuries that took place during the course of the season.
Although Georgia does not release such info due to HIPAA laws, don’t be surprised to hear if a player or two having surgery of some sort in the weeks to come. Speaking of injuries, we understand tight end Charlie Woerner suffered a fractured fibula in Georgia’s Rose Bowl win over Oklahoma.
There are some redshirt freshmen who certainly warrant your attention once spring drills get underway.
We’ll focus on two – right tackle Isaiah Wilson and outside linebacker Robert Beal.
According to offensive line coach Sam Pittman, Wilson will get a long look at right tackle, along with Cade Mays. In Los Angeles, Wilson told UGASports that put his redshirt year to good use, improved his stamina, became much stronger, and feels he’s ready to win the starting job.
Beal is coming off a redshirt year as well. The former Peachtree Ridge standout is expected to receive ample opportunity to earn significant playing time this spring with the graduation of Lorenzo Carter and Davin Bellamy.
Other redshirts to watch include offensive lineman Netori Johnson, along with defensive backs Tray Bishop, Latavious Brini and Eric Stokes.
Natrez Patrick is still part of the Bulldog football program, but there’s been no update from Smart what will happen once the linebacker’s treatment program is complete. We are speculating here, but Patrick will have one more opportunity to get his life squared away and hopefully he can become a contributing member of the team next fall.
As for defensive back Deangelo Gibbs, we’ve not seen hide nor hair of the freshman since shortly before the game at Georgia Tech. Smart has declined to offer any specifics, but like Patrick, Gibbs is still a part of the team. For now.
It's posted on the previous page.
UGA's redshirt freshman report: Who'll step up in 2018?
Georgia's 2017 recruiting class played a key role in the Bulldogs' success this season. Jake Fromm was the starter at quarterback with Andrew Thomas making 15 starts at right tackle. D'Andre Swift played a key role as did several other players on both sides of the ball and special teams.
But what about those 2017 signees who preserved a year of eligibility with a redshirt? Dawgs247 takes a look at each of those players below while using what we've heard and seen to project how they might have an impact in 2018.
OL Isaiah Wilson: This is a big off season for the behemoth tackle. He checks off all the boxes from a physical standpoint and really improved as the season went along while working on scout team. He worked at both left tackle and right tackle during the season and even got some work inside. One of a number of players who'll be in the mix for a starting spot, Wilson has to keep his weight in check this off season and get himself in great shape to potentially win that right tackle job or take a role from someone else.
OL Netori Johnson: Information about Johnson's progression wasn't exactly flowing during the season. He was the last of Georgia's offensive line signees to arrive to campus and it appeared as if that put him behind the others in learning the system. Much like Wilson, he's not missing anything physically and appeared to drop some weight as the season went on. If he can keep that weight off and get in shape, he has the potential to be a dynamic force at guard. Right guard appears to be his best position seeing as how he's not the long, polished pass protector teams like at left guard. Focus and comfort within the scheme will be key this season.
OLB Robert Beal: The last of Georgia's 2017 signees to arrive to campus, Beal needed some time to learn the system and had some veterans in front of him. Two of those experienced players are now gone and he'll be counted on to contribute heavily. At 6-foot-4, 245 pounds UGA will want him to put on some weight so he can hold up against the run. He also needs a firm grasp of the system because he's a snap or two away from being an every-down type of contributor. True freshman Brenton Cox is already on campus and he'll push Beal early on.
DB Tray Bishop: The former high school quarterback battled some injuries during his freshman season but there's no doubting his athletic ability. As a prospect many felt he could sign as a quarterback in the right scheme or play receiver, cornerback or safety. He practiced primarily at safety for Georgia in his redshirt season but could also slide down and work at star. He has a great combination of size and speed but is likely to need at least another year to really grab hold of the system.
DB Latavious Brini: The Sunshine State native was also at safety in 2017 and he, too, battled some small injuries. We didn't hear much about his development but there's no denying that he has an excellent frame for the position at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds. Like Bishop, he could pitch in at star if needed but the lack of buzz surrounding him in practice seems to indicate that he has some strides to make.
CB Eric Stokes: In preseason camp it looked as if the speedster from Covington, Ga. might get a look on special teams but he ultimately ended up helping out on the scout team. He's long and extremely fast and guys like that don't grow on trees. Still, you have to wonder when or if his football ability catches up to his ability to cover ground. The off-season weight program will be huge for Stokes as he needs to add mass before he can be a force on special teams. The Bulldogs need corners to step up so he shouldn't be counted out but others appear to be ahead of him at this stage.
WR Matt Landers: There's always that redshirt freshman who creates a lot of buzz and gets praise from the head coach. For the 2017 class that guy is Landers. Kirby Smart referred to him as a force to be reckoned with when asked about Landers earlier this season. Each week he worked on the scout team and played the role as the opposing team's best receiver. He matched up against the Bulldogs' starting cornerbacks week in and week out and gave them all they could handle. He'll benefit from a full off season in the weight program and could emerge as a major offensive weapon if everything goes well. At 6-foot-5, 195 pounds he's a candidate to fill the void left by Javon Wims.
OL D'Marcus Hayes: He's not a freshman but he is a 2017 signee who redshirted. The buzz is mixed on Hayes. Early on there was doubt as to whether he would ever make much of an impact. As the season went on you started to hear more buzz that Hayes has some impressive skills at tackle. In a limited one-on-one session viewed by media this fall he showed quick feet and the ability to use his 6-foot-6, 310-pound frame to mirror defensive linemen in pass protection. With Andrew Thomas moving over the left tackle the Bulldogs will be looking for someone to step in at right tackle and Hayes will have a shot. Can he beat out some extremely talented young players for that spot? That remains to be seen.
Really think Landers and Holloman will be great threats next season. Simmons is going to be good, Hardman will be a junior... and if Ridley can keep playing like he did vs Bama then our passing game will be legit next season without even taking the TEs into consideration (don't think Chaney does anyway).
If we get Roquan back for 2018 then I think we may very well repeat as SEC Champions.
If Roquan does come back, and Natrez gets his act together and returns for his final season too, then 3 of our 4 starting LB positions will be seniors -- with D'Andre Walker the other senior. A potential weakness would turn into the strength of the defense.
What time today is the deadline for Smith to decide?
I hope roquan the best in the nfl.. he is going to have a great career. | 2019-04-25T23:53:17Z | https://boards.atlantafalcons.com/topic/3916200-georgia-uga-related-news/?page=523 |
Mr. Amess is Conservative MP for Southend West in the House of Commons and co-chair of the British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom.
In Iran, punishment for breaking the law is brutal. In May, 30 college students were sentenced to 99 lashes for having a co-ed party—but consider them lucky.
Yet this rate of executions, which disproportionately targets opposition figures and ethnic minorities, and the barbaric punishments inflicted on its own citizens, which also includes forced amputations, has elicited little more than a shrug from the West. Especially in Washington D.C. there has only been lip service and no action. This type of “concern” over “action” approach is good for short-term political gains, but the people of Iran, the Middle East and those across the globe will continue to pay a high price in real terms.
Our history books are littered with examples. The decision to not get involved in Rwanda enabled genocide, the decision to not act decisively on North Korea left a growing nuclear threat and the decision to ignore Syria helped the Assad regime on one end and extremist groups on the other, including ISIS. We must not ignore Iran.
The Iranian regime’s ideology, combined with their continued push towards nuclear weapons [via public ballistic missile tests], their unabated sewing of turmoil and sponsorship of terrorism in the region, along with their domestic abuses make them a particularly worrying case vis-à-vis inaction.
We can certainly agree what Iran should not be and that is another Iraq war. A simply militaristic approach with a top-down aim of imposing democracy from the outside, combined with a long military occupation is a very bad idea. Luckily, there are many avenues of involvement, all of which involve empowering the Iranian people themselves to embrace a democratic system we already know they support.
The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) is the largest organized opposition to Iran’s current theocracy. They are led by Maryam Rajavi who espouses the idea of a free and democratic Iran that fosters separation of church and state, a moderate and progressive Islam, friendly ties with neighbors and the international community, and an embrace of international norms including abolition of capital punishment. The NCRI had advocated for real-world solutions in order for the international community to help the Iranian people achieve this goal, solutions that include heightened economic sanctions on the theocratic leaders and those responsible for human rights abuses in Iran, a recognition of Iran’s human rights record and violent foreign policy, along with approaches vis-à-vis the nuclear program that are more well adapted to an Iran that has time and again deceived the international community.
The People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI or MeK), the principal Iranian resistance movement, is at the core of the NCRI. Actually it was PMOI activists who exposed the Iranian regime’s clandestine nuclear sites, alarming the world about the threat of Iran’s secret program to acquire nuclear weapons.
On July 9 the Iranians will hold an important international event aimed at making Iranian voice for democracy heard. The event, entitled “Free Iran” will be attended by hundreds of international dignitaries, including a stellar bipartisan list of American dignitaries, a unique phenomenon given the polarized election season in the U.S. As the U.S. is moving towards choosing a new president, having the right policy on Iran will be a daunting challenge for whoever will be at the Oval Office this time next year.
It is up to us in the West to fight for the rights of those who do not have a voice around the globe and perhaps nowhere is that more important and with more of a potential positive effect than Iran.
To not speak up and defend moderate Islam against extremism would be letting evil triumph. | 2019-04-22T16:15:01Z | http://towardfreeiranwithmaryamrajavi.blogspot.com/2016/07/dont-ignore-iran-by-sir-david-amess-mr.html |
What are Clinical Trials we do?
In Phase 2 trials, the experimental treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
In Phase 3 trials, the treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow it to be used safely. Data will be used by the FDA to determine if they will approve the marketing of the investigational product.
In Phase 4 trials, Once the FDA has approved the investigational product and the medication is available for prescription, post-marketing studies begin to delineate additional information, including the treatment's risks, benefits, and optimal use.

Almost 30 years later, sustainable development is still very topical as the international agenda can witness. Indeed, the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations will drive global development efforts in the decades to come to build a better place for both present and future generations.
So what does sustainable development actually involves and why is it important for all the nations and people around the world, especially the most vulnerable?
Bearable, i.e. promoting the environment’s health on which directly depends communities’ health and wellness.
Sustainable development can take many forms. It may be through the energy orientation a country decides to follow when it subsidizes or invests in renewable energy sources rather than fossil fuels; through the promotion of gender equity to allow women to thrive in society and strengthen the communities they live in; or through land management choices that protect ecosystems and the people relying on their natural services, such as carbon sequestration or water purification. Such sustainable choices are necessary to enable communities of developing countries to improve their current conditions without undermining future generations’ chances to have healthy and meaningful lives in return.
In order to reach that sustainable state, understanding and taking into account the complexity and the connection points between the three pillars – environment, economy and society – is key.
One of the key objectives of The Institute for Conscious Global Change (ICGC) is to raise awareness on these connections and to identify the infrastructure needs that would support sustainable development. | 2019-04-23T11:59:26Z | http://icgc.ngo/sustainable-development.php |
Racetropin is relatively a young brand HGH but it is carried out by a group of talented scientists from LIN Bio-Chemicals with experience in engaging in bio-chemical industry for more than 10 years. After so much efforts and hard works, these ambitious experts have finally made their achievements – The Racetropin.
Racetropin is pharmaceutical grade injectable human growth hormone produced by recombinant DNA technology. It contains a sequence of 191 amino acids which is identical to endogenous human growth hormone.
Race means a competition to see who is the fastest. We were not in the lead or maybe far behind when race begins in HGH business, but we will rise, catch them up and become the best. That is the spirit of Racetropin.
Racetropin is created by LIN Bio-Chemicals. LIN represents for Little Inspiration. Sometimes, even a little inspiration can change the whole world. | 2019-04-23T06:29:38Z | http://www.racetropin.com/ |
“Today’s action by the governor provides some relief for our struggling schools, counties and human services agencies in that he’s finally acknowledging that a lack of state funds is impacting them. The governor refuses to mention that billions of dollars in new taxes would be required in new spending for a full and balanced budget, on his terms. The budget we delivered to him last week was our fifth attempt to get funding released, either as a full budget or emergency funding, to meet our priorities, including education. All of these have been responsible to our taxpayers.
“While this partial, six-month release of emergency funding is a bit of welcome news, I find myself continuing to be perplexed at some of the choices the governor is making. While he will fully fund arts programs, he pays little regard to the importance of agriculture in our state, by reducing funding for these important programs by one-third. In addition, he’s completely refusing to give emergency funding for health programs, such as regional cancer institutes, trauma centers, poison control centers, and programs to help those suffering from lupus, epilepsy, diabetes, ALS and Tourette’s syndrome. In fact, he’s also cutting out emergency response funding for municipalities, putting our communities at risk should a natural disaster strike. While these programs may not take up a huge chunk of the state budget, they are important to communities like ours. | 2019-04-26T04:02:59Z | http://www.repoberlander.com/NewsItem.aspx?NewsID=25777 |
Binge drinking has become the new normal in our society, but not just binge drinking like I knew of when I was a kid, sustained drinking for days, it is a consistent sustained drinking as quickly as possible. I remember hearing as a kid about fraternities that would make their initiants drink beer from a funnel. I had images in my mind of someone letting the beer funnel down their esophagus until the only thing that could stop it was the bile that rose in rejection. I wasn’t too far off.
Binge drinking can make you so sick that you vomit, so continuously for so long that you pass out, only to continue throwing up. Sometimes people choke on their own vomit, even while unconscious.
The tough thing about our current society is that alcohol is becoming more and more a part of business culture. As networking becomes more and more important to succeeding in one’s career, the urge to binge drink when out with clients or while trying to keep drink for drink with your boss can be potent. But there’s no amount of career advancement that can make up for the damage that binge drinking can do to a person’s body both long term and more immediately. Binge drinking can result in long term results such as fatal liver disease, all the way to more immediately it may cause someone to be agitated, even violent. It could cause someone to go into a coma, or even cause death.
If you or someone you know is or has been addicted to drugs or alcohol you may already know some of the scary ways it can affect the whole life of the addicted person, from halting productivity, to deteriorating the most important relationships.

TOKYO (TR) – The nightlife quarter of Kabukicho, just east of JR Shinjuku Station, bristles with non-stop activity. Amid the garish flashes of neon are touts cruising for clients, drifting drunks, hostesses hustling off to bars and the occasional gangster tiff. In the late 1960s — a time when young architect Minoru Takeyama was commissioned to design a pair of buildings a block apart for accommodating adult entertainment businesses — it wasn’t quite as active.
The result was a pair of eight-floor structures that housed bars, clubs and saunas and opposed one another to create a sense of balance. The monochrome Ichibankan (1969) is dark and sleek, its front is similar to a Transformer character whose sides take the shape of arms ready to embrace entering guests. The colorful Nibankan (1970) features a “supergraphic” of red, yellow and white lines and concentric circles emblazoned across its sloping sides of concrete and metallic sheets.
In the first half of the last century, buildings like the Tokyo Central Post Office (1931) in Marunouchi were increasingly influenced by such Western architects as Le Corbusier (1887-1965) and concepts like Bauhaus to become examples of modern architecture. Then, with industrialization subsequently suffocating the creativity of the nation in the decades following World War II, post-modernism came to the forefront. Experts considered Takeyama’s structures to be the first examples of this new avant-garde spirit.
Today, Ichibankan is completely closed, and Nibankan, whose exterior is riddled with chipped paint and cracked concrete, maintains only a first-floor restaurant in operation. Ownership changed two years ago. During a meeting with their present owner, Sankei Hotel, a lodging operator that specializes in business and love hotels, representatives of the company indicated that the future use of the buildings has not been decided.
Such a potential reprieve has been rare as the elimination of Japan’s landmark properties becomes routine with calls for preservation often being crushed by developers’ wrecking balls.
The challenges facing preservationists are numerous.
Last October, entertainment company Shochiku announced that the Kabuki-za theater in Ginza, Japan’s home for kabuki since it was founded in 1889, will close next year and be reinstalled inside a large office complex by 2013. Reconstructed twice, its 1924 incarnation incorporated a new style of non-burnable building materials. The current five-decade-old building achieved tangible cultural property status in 2002.
Crucial, too, has been the financial incentive given to developers. In 2002, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi passed legislation that lifted regulations that once placed major restrictions on zoning and building height in exchange for the establishment publicly accessible parks or plazas on any newly constructed properties. Often referred to as an “urban renaissance,” the deregulation was intended to maintain Tokyo’s competitive status with nearby metropolises Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore.
Like Shochiku, falling into this category is Japan Post, which became a pseudo-private entity two years ago. It is in the process of constructing a 200-meter building on the site of the aforementioned Tokyo Central Post Office, a cornerstone to the square in front of the Marunouchi side of Tokyo Station. The curved, brick building will eventually incorporate parts of its exterior façade in the new design. Last-ditch attempts to save the building resulted in Japan Post earlier this year announcing that it will seek tangible cultural property status for the property and retain more of the original structure than first planned.
Kabukicho’s Koma Stadium theater had been, since 1956, a popular venue to view enka and musical shows. It was acquired last year by film studio Toho, which also owns the adjacent Shinjuku Toho Kaikan and plans to redevelop both plots. Publisher Kodansha’s Noma Dojo training facility, established in 1925, was knocked down in late 2007 in favor of a more modern complex.
Many other preservation pushes have failed. The Sanshin Building (1930), an eight-floor structure that overlooked Hibiya Park and contained elaborate ceilings and columns, was demolished by developer Mitsui Fudosan in 2007. The concrete Dojunkai apartments were innovative housing structures (featuring trash chutes and gas lines) upon their completion between 1924 and 1934 at 16 locations in Tokyo and Yokohama. In 2003, the five-story Otsuka Women’s Apartment House was demolished, and the Aoyama site was replaced three years later by Tadao Ando’s concrete and glass Omotesando Hills shopping center. Two apartment blocks remain today; one in Ueno, another in Minowa.
Mitsui believes that as a solution to here-today-gone-tomorrow Tokyo needs to adopt master planning. “The formation of a master plan will define such things as the height and use of the building,” he says, adding that complications within private land ownership and a lack of government impetus thus far have made such a concept very difficult.
Yet the government does offer some support — albeit through a tradeoff that benefits developers. In exchange for preservation of its notable Mitsui Honkan (1929), Mitsui Fudosan was allowed to develop a nearby site into the 39-floor Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower (2005). The height of the new structure exceeded that permitted by law but Mitsui was allowed to transfer the unused air rights (i.e. potential additional floor area) of the old building following its preservation.
The Paris-based conservation group Docomomo International, which works to preserve modern buildings, established a Japanese branch in 2000. Its group of experts has designated over 135 structures as important. In addition to the remaining Dojunkai units and the Tokyo Central Post Office, the list includes Frank Lloyd Wright’s Myonichikan (1921), Tokyo Bunka Kaikan (1961) and the Nakagin Capsule Tower (1972), the Kisho Kurokawa-designed structure of stacked concrete residential modules.
The group is now focusing its attention on buildings from the 1970s — a move probably too late for the Kenzo Tange-designed Hanae Mori building (1977), the glass-walled Omotesando landmark that is scheduled to be pulled down following the removal of its tenants this year.
As to Ichibankan and Nibankan, Docomomo’s Suzuki says that the group finds Takeyama’s work to be very significant. Yet an approach and time frame for preservation of his buildings has not been determined. “At Docomomo, we realize that there is a connection between modernism and post-modernism that needs to be discussed,” he explains. | 2019-04-19T02:39:05Z | https://www.tokyoreporter.com/japan-news/special-reports/urban-struggle-tokyos-tussle-with-modern-architecture/ |

Are you a writer? Then you must be a reader too, right? RIGHT!
Reading a book is like studying for a test. Sit down with one of your favorite authors and as you read it, study it. How did the author describe the heroine and hero's first kiss. Can you learn anything from it? YES!
Often times when I finish the first draft of a book, I like to go on a reading binge. Spend a week devouring books in the related genre, that way when I go to tackle draft two, I'm ready to expand. I'm ready to develope my stories to their fullest potential.
Besides reading romance novels, I also like to pick up marketing books and others that are related to the industry. I love reading books fellow authors put together with their tips on how they are doing it.
Recently a fellow author shared this book with me, The Emotion Thesaurus. The author recommended it highly as well as several other authors. I picked it up, and I muse agree, its a great writer's companion.
Never stop reading. You'd be amazed how much you can learn by reading. Just do your best to enjoy the story too. Sometimes I spend too much time studying the authors craft, I forget about the awesome story! | 2019-04-18T13:19:47Z | http://www.laceywolfe.com/blog/never-stop-reading-wwow |

SÉSAME sliding doors are designed to offer more creative freedom to architects, designers, and individuals thanks to the numerous available opening solutions and finishes.
The quality of our hardware ensures your doors slide softly and quietly, whatever their dimensions.

The doorstops, integrated into the rail, make sure that the door closes in the desired position and are available with a soft close option.
Sliding doors are a particularly clever and elegant solution for optimizing your interior space. In front of a storage area or to access a room in a home or office, they can be fixed to the ceiling or wall-mounted. We offer a wide selection of decorative rails. .
For storage rooms, wardrobes, or to divide rooms of any sort, Sésame sliding doors can be double, triple, or quadruple, on 1, 2, or 3 rails according to your needs and the dimensions of your opening. The rails can be installed on the surface or recessed. Even when using multiple doors, our continuous opening system still requires no floor rail — an extraordinary aesthetic advantage!

The history of money was a long and winding one. In about 1200 B.C. in China, cowry shells were the first medium of exchange. From shells, people soon started using pieces of coins and several years later, banknotes in the form of leather were used. All of these lead to the the paper and coin currencies we have nowadays which are more commonly known as money. We are currently living in the Information Age where electronic money or digital cash is being exchanged over the Internet. An electronic payment is any kind payment where electronic money is used. Methods of electronic payments include credit cards, debit cards and the ACH (Automated Clearing House) network. Direct deposit, direct debit and electronic checks or e-checks are included in the ACH system. Electronic payment is certainly the most convenient payment option available. You don't have to handle any paper money, swipe a credit card or write a check. All you have to do is enter your account information, such as your credit card number and shipping address into your web browser and, with just a few mouse clicks to confirm your purchase, you're done. Its simplicity and ease are enticing more and more people to utilize electronic payment. Businesses employing electronic payment methods or e-commerce could certainly lower their expenses because they spend less on paper and manpower. Customers who have done certain transactions with a business establishment thru electronic payment would certainly be more likely to return to the same e-commerce site, thus, improving customer retention. Banks, in fact, are encouraging their clients to use their online banking service. However, with this kind of payment, one must be careful not to be defrauded because identity theft or breach of privacy can happen. But fortunately today, online businesses have done safety measures so that their customers are protected. There are anti virus software and firewall programs on computers that protect us and guarantee safe transactions online. A key lock icon usually found at the bottom corner of a browser indicates that you are dealing with a secure server, you should look for this before you send your credit card information. Though there are risks, electronic payments are still favored by many. A survey done on this subject shows that more than 94% of large banking companies and more than 65% of community banks have started offering these services to their clients. If you haven't used e-payment for your transactions, why not consider starting now? You don't have to be a geek to use electronic modes of payment because it is very easy and convenient as well. | 2019-04-20T12:44:03Z | http://worthyposts.com/publish/434 |

So, the violins begin as the final week draws to a close. I refuse to start the waterworks, so guys control yourselves too! The duration of this journey has flown by but I’ve managed to grasp elements of what’s required in the world of PR. Similar to the other weeks, I’ve been diving head first into all projects and campaigns lead by Amanda. All in all I’m pleased with the challenges I’ve faced, I can honestly say that I’ve acknowledged the improvements in my writing style.
The time here at Rocket has provided me with vital knowledge into the world of PR and marketing. It’s also shown me the process of how jobs can be created, starting with the initial idea, the concept, creative and the final product.
I can waffle on about all the new data that’s now stored in my brain cells. But no let’s put that aside and instead focus on what I’ll be taking away with me from this journey. In order to outshine amongst the rest in the PR industry all you require is creativity! I’ve learnt that the use of your imagination and creativity can bring something unique to a company. At first I did assume that PR and marketing would be a tough nut to crack as I had little experience in the field but Rocket has put my foot straight through the door.
Lastly, this chunk will be dedicated to the entire team here at Rocket. I would like to thank everyone for their gratitude. From the moment I started everyone has treated me like a true Rocketeer. Most importantly I’ve had the fantastic opportunity to shadow the works of two individuals who have vast knowledge in the industry. They’ve answered my questions and have provided me with hope that I am capable of achieving my goal. So a huge thank you to Amanda and Joseph!
To those reading the trials and tribulations of an intern I hope that my blogs have been enjoyable but significantly useful to those wanting to pursue a career in PR and marketing. That’s it from me as my journey continues.. | 2019-04-23T00:01:16Z | https://www.rocket-creative.com/trials-and-tribulations-of-an-intern-final-part/ |

If you’ve ever seen old photographs or recordings of vintage bellytank racers blasting across a dried lake bed and felt a twinge of envy, we have good news; you could have one of your very own.
Up for sale on eBay right now is a Ford flathead V8-powered bellytank racer, with a top recorded speed of 191 mph, and all the requisite safety equipment, including seat belts, race tires, a fire-suppression system, and a parachute. The throwback bellytank racer is listed at $40,000 and currently resides in Castaic, California.
For the unacquainted, a bellytank racer is a car made from the “bellytank” – or auxiliary fuel tank – of a WWII era fighter plane. After the war, the excess of unneeded, aerodynamic bellytanks was dealt with in part by daring mechanics who would use them to build speed-chasing straight-line race cars. The one on eBay right now is the genuine article, made from pieces of one or more bellytanks, plus a few handmade panels.
Powering this bellytank racer is a 59A block Ford flathead V8, displacing 286 cubic-inches (4.7 liters). According to the seller, the antique Ford flathead has been fitted with billet heads, forged pistons, Carillo rods, Hillborn fuel injection, and a 671 supercharger, among other things.
Also installed: a nitrous system that has never been tested.
Almost. The car currently has a fuel delivery problem that will need to be sorted first. | 2019-04-22T09:59:48Z | http://fordauthority.com/2016/03/ford-flathead-powered-bellytank-racer-for-sale-on-ebay/ |
Three Reform Rabbis were in a terrible auto wreck. None survived.
One minute they were driving along the highway, talking and laughing and joking, and the next, BOOM! they were before the Creator of all.
Bauman hung his head in shame.
Bauman also heaved a sigh of relief.
Finally, He turns to the third rabbi and says, “You, Rabinowitz, have gone too far! Am I asking too much? No, you flaunt the world at Me, even on the holiest days of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur by putting out a sign saying…. | 2019-04-19T20:21:00Z | https://englishtopik.ru/three-reform-rabbis-were-in-a-terrible-auto-wreck/ |
“I was a novice design assistant in the fashion business when I visited my first factory in NYC’s garment district. It was one of those moments that leaves you weak at the knees…I had found my calling in a grungy, noisy, yet beautiful turn-of-the-century trimmings factory. I have designed and sold trimmings to the fashion, furnishings and design industries for 20 years now. My clients affectionately call me the Trim Queen so in 2013, I put on that crown and started sharing contemporary application techniques through my blog and social media channels, becoming the ‘ambassador of trimmings’ so to speak.
Most recently, I have started designing home and fashion accessories in my Peekskill, NY studio, incorporating all of my materials, new and vintage, making napkin rings, pillows, tassel fobs, and military-style brooches. I also throw maker parties, give classes, and make DIY videos showing people how to make things using trim. I call this The Alchemy of Trimmings: turning ordinary into extraordinary! It’s thrilling to bring out people’s creativity, and most find making things surprisingly therapeutic. Seeing how others use materials very differently than I would inspires me greatly.

Please refer to the 'Daisy Puffagon Tutorial' for details of how to make the basic Daisy Puffagons.
To join these puffy flowers as you make them, we just need to make a slight alteration to the way we complete the last round. So, follow the instructions for making your Puffagon until you have completed 'ROUND TWO'.
Join the new yarn and follow the instructions for 'ROUND THREE' until you have made the first 2 treble crochets of the second corner. It should look like the picture above on the right.
You will need to make 1 chain and then we will be ready to join the puff.
Instead of making a second chain to make the corner space, we are now going to make a 'joining slip stitch' into the puff we want to join to.
To do that, put your hook into the corner space of another hexagon, wrap the yarn over the hook and pull it through the corner space and the loop on the hook to complete the stitch stitch. I like to pull the yarn slightly, just to make sure the join is nice and tight.
Now you are ready to make another 'joining slip stitch' into the next corner space of the puff you are joining to.
Do this in the same way, putting your hook into the corner space of the other hexagon, wrapping the yarn and pulling it through both the corner space and the loop on the hook. Pull the yarn gently to make the join nice and neat.
NOTE: If you are just joining to one puff, you can now just make 1 chain and 2 tr's into the same space to complete the corner and then carry on with the rest of 'ROUND THREE' to complete the puffagon.
To do that, we now make a second 'joining slip stitch' into the first corner space of the second puff. Make the stitch in the same way as described before, putting your hook into the corner space of the second puff, wrapping the yarn and pulling through the space and the loop on the hook. Pull up snug.
To make the final join, make a 'joining slip stitch' into the next corner space of the second puff and pull it up snuggly. Now you can chain 1 to complete the chain space of the corner and then continue working 'ROUND THREE' to finish the puff.
Now you know how to join to one or twos puffs at a time, I think you'll be able to see how to go about joining to three or even four puffs as you need to. The theory is the same, all you need to do is continue joining at the corners (substituting the 2 corner chains for 'joining slip stitches' as you need to) until you have worked your way around all the puffs you need to join and then finish the rest of 'ROUND THREE' to complete the puff.
I hope this helps you with all your 'puffy' projects and don't forget, for easy reference you can find the written instructions for the pattern at the bottom of the 'Daisy Puffagon Tutorial'.
As before, if you have any questions or project picture you want to share (yes please!) - come over to Cherry Heart's Cozy Corner, my Ravelry group. I'd love to see you there. | 2019-04-23T14:00:36Z | http://sandra-cherryheart.blogspot.com/2013/10/joining-daisy-puffagons.html |
Make healthy snacking part of your everyday routine. It helps to have ideas for snacks in advance so when hunger hits your only choice isn’t an unhealthy snack like chips or a candy bar. It pays to prepare healthy snacks in advance. That way you can choose ingredients that are good for you. Many of these ideas also make a good choice for a light lunch.
Small fruits like fresh or frozen blueberries, grapes or cherries make excellent healthy snacks.
Oranges are a perfect snack. They are easy to take with you, taste great and are high in vitamin C, folic acid and fiber.
Everyone has heard the saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Try cutting your apple into slices and topping with a thin spreading of peanut butter or fat-free cream cheese.
Grape or cherry tomatoes are perfect for snacking or salads. They also add fiber to your diet.
Cut up raw vegetables (carrots, celery, bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower) in advance and keep them in small plastic bags in your fridge. Grab a few when you are hungry. If you need a dip try a low-fat salad dressing like Ranch, Thousand Island or Creamy Italian or try plain fat-free yogurt with your favorite spices added.
I also like to cut up fruits like melons and dip them in a fruit flavored yogurt. A small amount of sugar-free drink mix added to the yogurt gives it an extra “kick”.
A quick and nutritious snack can be made by spreading peanut butter on a celery stick and sprinkling a few raisins on top. Or you can fill the celery stick with fat-free cream cheese.
A rice cake, plain or topped with a small amount of peanut butter, honey, tuna salad or refried beans or whole grain crackers topped with a slice of tomato, a slice of low skim mozzarella cheese or salsa makes a healthy snack or light lunch.
Low-fat or fat-free yogurt makes a good snack. You can also add fresh or frozen fruit or low-fat granola to the yogurt.
Nuts are high in calories but they are also good for you. A small handful of peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds or soy nuts makes a good afternoon snack.
Popcorn sprinkled with parmesan cheese, chili powder, garlic powder or onion powder makes an excellent evening snack.
Don’t forget to drink a glass of water with your snack. It is not only good for you; it will help you feel less hungry. | 2019-04-24T18:39:44Z | http://www.thebusysaver.com/2009/07/healthy-snacks.html |
Week 1 of the NFL season is in the books. Last week, if you listened to me, you might have picked up Isaiah Crowell, Charles Sims, Tajae Sharpe, Eli Rogers, Dwayne Allen, or CJ Uzomah and gained some solid fantasy points. Or you might have taken my swing and miss on Zach Zenner. The point is, there are always some valuable players to be had on the waiver wire. With the injury bug already biting, and RGIII and Keenan Allen both out due to injury for the season, it's time to check out the free agents available in your league and see what additions might help fill out YOUR roster. Hope this helps, and happy streaming!--Mike B.
Marcus Mariota, QB, Tennessee Titans. If Mariota went undrafted in your league, now is the time to buy in. The Tennessee offense has potential to be decent, and Mariota is a huge talent. He should be a decent start for your team.
Brock Osweiler, QB, Houston Texans. Osweiler didn't look bad last week with the Texans, and he should continue to improve as he learns the offense. He's not a guy that will win your leagues on his own, but he's well worth a shot if you need a backup offense.
Matt Stafford, QB, Detroit Lions. Stafford shouldn't be available in your league, but he might be. He has a strong relationship with his offensive coordinator and could put up some huge numbers down the stretch. If you want a high upside guy to buy in on now with a low investment cost, snag Stafford.
Carson Wentz, QB, Philadelphia Eagles. Wentz looked as advertised last week against the Browns. He is clearly ready to start in the NFL, and looked dominant against a Cleveland team that is better defensively than many give them credit for. Look for him to continue to be successful as he gets more familiar with the system.
Tevin Coleman, RB, Atlanta Falcons. Coleman had a relatively dominant game last week for Atlanta. He had fewer touches than Freeman, but he outperformed him. If he's available, grab him now before that changes. The move could win you a league or two.
Isaiah Crowell, RB, Cleveland Browns. If Crowell is still available, go get him now. He looks like he could be the Jeremy Hill player in Hue Jackson's offense in Cleveland. Well worth a shot.
Terrance West, RB, Baltimore Ravens. West didn't blow up the stat columns last week but he did get 12 carries. That tells me that he will get regular looks in this Baltimore offense. If you're looking for a flex dart, West is worth a shot.
Philip Dorsett, WR, Indianapolis Colts. Dorsett should see a ton of looks in the Indianapolis offense this year. He's not the breakout option that Moncrief is, but he's well worth a look if he's sitting there on waivers. He'll at least see touches this season.
Quincy Enumwa, WR, New York Jets. Enumwa is going to receive a significant portion of looks in the Jets offense this season. That means he will be fantasy relevant for your team. Granted, he's not a WR1, but he's well worth a look especially if you need a spot start this week.
Tajae Sharpe, WR, Tennessee Titans. If you didn't go get Tajae Sharpe last year, go get him NOW. He had a dominant game last week in Tennessee, with 7 catches and a big chunk of yards. Especially in a PPR league, he's going to be very, very valuable.
Tyrell Williams, WR, San Diego Chargers. I started Tyrell Williams in what amounted to a flex start in one of my leagues this week to cover my loss of Le'Veon Bell. I wasn't disappointed. He developed a strong rapport with Philip Rivers in the preseason, and with Keenan Allen out for the year, Williams will get regular looks throughout the season.
Gary Barnidge, TE, Cleveland Browns. Last year with McCown, Gary Barnidge averaged more fantasy points per game than Rob Gronkowski. With RGIII out for the year and McCown taking over in Cleveland, the time is now for Barnidge to become fantasy relevant again. If you can snag him this week, do it.
Eric Ebron, TE, Detroit Lions. Ebron looked very, very solid in week 1. He's been a breakout candidate since he's been in the NFL, but now he might be ready to actually break out. If you can get him and are in need of a TE, give him a long look.
Jacob Tamme, TE, Atlanta Falcons. Tamme is a guy that doesn't get enough respect. The #1 TE in Atlanta catching passes from Matt Ryan, he could be well worth a shot if he's available. Nice option for your team.
CJ Uzomah, TE, Cincinnati Bengals. If you're dealing with an injured Zach Ertz or Tyler Eifert right now, why not grab CJ Uzomah in Cincinnati? He was second on the Bengals in targets behind only AJ Green, and should continue to get a large number of looks in Cincinnati until Eifert returns. Well worth a shot.
Baltimore Ravens D/ST. The Ravens play the Browns this week. The Browns just lost RGIII for the season. That makes them a fun team to play against on defense. Grab the Ravens D/ST this week and consider yourself lucky.
San Francisco 49ers D/ST. The 49ers looked dominant on defense last week. While they have a tougher matchup this week against the Panthers, they could put up a surprisingly good week again this week. Worth a dart if needed.
Washington Redskins D/ST. Dak Prescott is a decent quarterback, but could make regular mistakes during his rookie season. The Redskins will hope to capitalize on those mistakes this week. They should be available in your league, and could put up some solid numbers, especially in leagues that favor turnovers. | 2019-04-26T07:44:30Z | https://www.mattandmikesports.com/fantasy-football/the-weekly-streamer-week-21141334 |
Megan Spink and Andy Fielden set up Bodega, in Christchurch, Dorest, in August 2016. Bodega is independent wine bar, wine merchant & deli in Christchurch. They are passionate about high quality wines from small traditional wineries with a focus on natural organic wines.
As part of the drinks menu they have recently added the Miss Witt milk hot choc stick following a visit by Andy & Megan to the Miss Witt kitchen workshop. The milk hot choc sticks have been going down a storm during the day when you may fancy a smooth warm drink to keep you going rather than a glass of wine.
Each month Bodega holds different events. As part of the World of Port evening, the last port to taste was Graham’s Quintados Mavedos 2004. This has a long finish with rich fruit aromas such as blackcurrants, blackberries and black cherries. This was paired with 70% Columbia dark chocolate shards. The slight acidity of the chocolate cut through the richness of the port making it the perfect drinking companion! Look out for future events when chocolate will be featured paired with different drinks.
I first met the founders of Pothecary Gin back in January 2016. We were introduced by a mutual chef friend, Ian Gibbs. Ian had told me about his friends Lukasz and Martin Jennings spending the last year experimenting with over 100 botanicals (def: a plant part or extract used in medicinal preparation derived from a plants) to come up with their gin.
To make their gin, the duo use fractional distillation where each of the 5 botanicals are singularly distilled, rather than all being distilled in one copper pot at the same time. This allows them to finely blend the flavours to make their unique gin.
The 5 organic botanicals which make up Pothecary Gin are Organic Lavender from Provence, Organic Black Mulberries from Anatolia, Organic Lemons from Sicily, Wild Tilia flowers from Poland and Organic Juniper from Bulgaria.
I tasted the gin for the first time in Spring 2016. Initially I considered making a G&T inspired chocolate, but this didn’t really feel innovative or unique enough. This was when the inspiration came from Nicole (Martin’s wife) and Martin to use the individual distillates. Because the fractional distillation process is used it allowed me to experiment with the different distillates to make chocolates to compliment the gin. You can imagine my excitement when I tasted all 5 distillates at 73% proof! Wow! Each had the most incredibly unique taste and aroma. The lemon distillate took me walking through a lemon grove, wild mulberries conjured up Christmas, wild Tilia flowers had the sweet aroma of honey and the lavender was so delicate & light. A real journey of aromas and flavours!
An added benefit of the process used by Pothecary Gin was the Black Mulberry mass that remains in the still post distillation. The founders of Pothecary Gin try to reduce wastage, and re-use or recycle where possible, and this thinking is what led to Nicole’s idea to possibly use the sieved extract of the distilled Mulberries as part of the chocolate, genius! A sample of the sieved black mulberry extract was sent to a science lab in Wolverhampton to be analysed. Nicole and I wanted to make sure that the black mulberries, post distillation, used in the ganache were within safe limits of copper as they are heated in a copper still for a considerable time. It turned out that you would have to eat over a kilogram of the black mulberry ganache to be over the recommended daily intake of copper in your diet, but trace elements of copper were found, bonus! Once the results came back I was so excited to start creating my recipe.
I immediately knew which chocolate would work especially well; the floral notes in Casa Lukers’ 70% aruca chocolate. The cacao beans which the chocolate is made from comes from Orinoquia region of Columbia. Don Elio cacao farm is on a piece of land formed by the two arms of the Arauca river. The cacao is grown between the valleys & mountains of this region. The flavour notes from this chocolate compliment the botanicals perfectly.
I knew the Mulberry extract combined with the chocolate would make an excellent combination. It produced a silky smooth texture to the chocolate. On heating the extract, I added the lemon peel. The scent filled my tiny chocolate kitchen and I could just imagine the flavours combining with chocolate, singing and dancing around my mouth as I took the first bite! Heavenly!
The Pothecary team had asked me to create two chocolates to go in their gin & chocolate gift set by now. The gift boxes were created in consultation with Print & Packaging Solutions Ltd, a local specialist in Southampton. Melissa, Martin and Nicole’s daughter, worked tirelessly to get the box to have the premium look and feel that would properly reflect the quality of the gin and chocolates contained within, and it looks amazing!
After a few weeks of experimenting I worked through some recipes by using different combinations of the distillates. By the end of August, I had come up with two bespoke recipes for the Pothecary chocolates.
Lavender & sea salt ganache, encased in turquoise white chocolate from Dominican Republic.
The Luxury, Handcrafted gin and chocolate gift set was launched at The Country Living Christmas Fair in Islington, London, where they were extremely well received. The two chocolates are intended to be eaten whilst sipping the gin, as the chocolates are made with some elements of the gin rather than the gin itself. This sipping and eating gives a unique flavour sensation, is an innovative idea where gin is concerned, and one that is proving very popular. As the chocolate and gin gift sets are a collaboration, and not the main products of both Pothecary Gin and myself, they are only available occasionally. At the moment we are delighted to announce that the Luxury Gin and Chocolates gift set can be bought at Harvey Nichols as from this week. | 2019-04-22T06:04:02Z | http://www.chocolatebymisswitt.com/blog/previous/2 |
PIKEVILLE, Ky. – The University of Pikeville put together a 12-0 run midway through the fourth quarter, taking its first lead of the game with 3:38 remaining, and held off Cumberland, 71-67, in women’s basketball action here Thursday night at the East Kentucky Expo Center.
The Phoenix (5-11, 1-3 Mid-South) controlled the game for three quarters and were helped by 31 percent shooting from the field by the Bears, most of that against a 1-2-2 zone that Cumberland was forced into because of foul trouble to all three forwards.
Pikeville found the distance in the final quarter, though, hitting 8-of-16 shots from the field and all 14 foul shots. Mary Englert netted the first six points in the 12-0 spurt and Brianna Burbridge had back-to-back baskets before a layup from Elisabeth Latham ended the run with the Bears leading, 61-55, with 2:33 remaining.
Cumberland missed all four shots and committed two of its 20 turnovers during the four-minute drought. Two foul shots by Briana Vandlen finally got CU back on the board and a 3-pointer from Carli Codner-Pinto, who finished with a game-high 27 points, cut the deficit to three.
The Phoenix got consecutive field goals from Kerrice Watson, who posted 16 points and eight rebounds in the contest, but Pikeville kept connecting at the foul line, hitting all six attempts in the final minute to pull away at the end.
Katherine Griffith added 10 points and eight boards despite being full of cold medicine. Cumberland shot only nine free throws compared to 32 for the Bears.
Burbridge led five Pikeville players in double figures with 16 points. Emily Baker recorded 15 points and 10 rebounds, Englert scored all 14 of her points in the second half (12 in the final period) and Theodora Otia collected a dozen points. Latham netted 10 off the bench for the home team.
Codner-Pinto started the game on fire, hitting a pair of 3-pointers after baskets from Griffith and Watson to begin the contest. Cumberland scored the first seven points, but the Bears responded with six straight before five consecutive by the Phoenix, the last two on another layup from Griffith for a 12-8 CU advantage.
Pikeville could not buy a field goal in the opening period, hitting just 2-for-12, but early foul trouble for Cumberland put the Bears at the foul line where they converted their first eight attempts. Two free throws by Otia knotted the game at 12.
Codner-Pinto added another triple later in the period and Watson’s layup with 2:43 remaining in the period helped the Phoenix to an 18-12 lead after 10 minutes.
Cumberland played almost all of the second period without Britany Miller, who picked up three fouls, and Dominique St. Louis got her third foul midway through the quarter while Griffith had two fouls before the half as well.
Codner-Pinto’s layup and then a 3-pointer pushed the CU advantage to 23-14. The lead swelled to a dozen with a layup off an inbounds and 1-of-2 free throws by Codner-Pinto. Baskets by Otia and Latham pulled the Bears within 33-25 late in the quarter and 1-of-2 foul shots from Burbridge made it 33-26 CU at intermission.
Cumberland did not score over the final 3:03 of the period but the Bears continued to struggle from the field, connecting on just 7-for-30 overall. Codner-Pinto netted 19 points in the half, hitting 6-of-10 field goals and 4-for-6 from behind the arc.
The Phoenix return home next Thursday for the first time since January 5, taking on Life University at 6 p.m. at Dallas Floyd Phoenix Arena. | 2019-04-18T16:46:05Z | http://www.gocumberlandathletics.com/wbasketball/news/2018-19/7333/cu-women-let-lead-slip-away-in-fourth-quarter/ |

In 1973, the German airline moved the training center for its employees from Hamburg to the Bergstraße. From the very beginning, other companies and institutions have also taken advantage of the good infrastructure of Lufthansa’s training center in order to hold conferences and meetings of their own. The most famous example is the so-called “Seeheimer Kreis” – an association of SPD members of the German Federal Parliament – that was founded there in 1978 and used the conference hotel until 1984.
At the beginning of the 1990s, the building was expanded and renamed the “Klaus-Bonhoeffer-Haus”.
Bonhoeffer was the syndic and manager of Lufthansa´s legal department from 1935 to 1945. Social issues interested him from an early point in his career. He was influenced by the thoughts of Max Weber and had close ties to his brother Dietrich who played a central part in the church resistance to the Third Reich.
In a period in which technological development achieved enormous progress, justice and the rule of law in Germany experienced a downturn of a magnitude previously unknown. Deep outrage about this state of affairs drove Klaus Bonhoeffer into the resistance against the national-socialist regime. He was arrested during the Nazi purges after the failed assassination attempt on Hitler and executed on April 23, 1945.
In times of growing competition, Lufthansa once again declared professional development to be a strategic factor. The “Lufthansa School of Business”, Germany’s first “Corporate University”, trained both young professionals and management personnel.
But in the new millennium, the demands on learning increased rapidly. In 2006, rather than embark on a costly renovation of the more than 30 year-old building, Lufthansa decided in favour of a more economical new building at the same location – and invested around 100 million euros.
After two years of construction, the Lufthansa Training & Conference Center Seeheim opened its doors in early 2009. It is one of the biggest and most modern conference hotels in Europe. | 2019-04-20T18:32:46Z | https://www.lh-seeheim.de/en/seeheim-spirit/history/ |
Gehazi - Tried and Found Wanting!
The Court of the King of Israel was listening, as the Leper began recounting the stories he had to tell. This man had been Elisha's servant, and had been an eyewitness of incredible miracles. While it was legal to talk to a Leper, it was against the Law to have physical contact with one. You ask, how came a Leper into the King's presence?
The answer lies in the story of Gehazi.
Ben-hadad, the King of Syria besieged the City of Samaria. (2 Kgs. 6:24-25). Elisha's house was inside the city, (vs. 31-32) and between the city and the army were four leprous men. Jewish Law requires Lepers to live outside the city, and Gehazi and his three sons were trapped between an advancing enemy army, and the locked gates of Samaria. They had nowhere to go.
When they finally went into the Syrian army camp, they found it abandoned. We note that the first actions of these four were to collect food, drink, silver, gold and clothing. Look back at the history of Gehazi, as recounted in the second book of Kings, and this is very much in character. Having repeated a second trip to hide their treasure, they began to have second thoughts about not letting the King know about the deserted camp. Fearing God's retribution, they returned to the City gate and reported the matter. (2 Kgs. 7:9-11). King Jehoram knew that Gehazi the Leper had brought the news.
On the heels of this dramatic event, Elisha declares a 7-year drought; at the end of that catastrophic time, Jehoram is listening to Gehazi's amazing tale of the Shunamite woman whose son Elisha raised from the dead. It is not part of this article to examine the details of the Shunamite woman, but to examine who Gehazi was, and what brought him to his sad ending.
Let us go back to the beginning of this story.
Elisha spent 10 years in training under Elijah. When Elisha received the mantle of Elijah, he returned to the city of Jericho. Here he was in charge of the School of the Sons of the Prophets. Elisha now needs an understudy. He has at least 50+ ‘up-and-coming' young men from whom to choose. He selects an apparently dedicated young man by the name of Gehazi to be his personal disciple.
The very first mention of Gehazi shows us a man who is fluent in more than his native tongue. In 2 Kgs. 4:12-13 he is an interpreter for Elisha. He interprets to the Shunamite woman the words of the Prophet. A few years later, he is still with Elisha when the woman comes to report the death of her son.
"So it was, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to his servant Gehazi, "Look, the Shunamite woman! Please run now to meet her, and say to her, "Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?" (2Ki 4:26) and she answered, "It is well."
Interestingly she seems not to want to deal with him but with the Prophet directly. It may be she with her woman's instinct, sensed something that the man Elisha missed. At any rate she merely said in effect, "No Problem" and continued on to meet the Prophet.
She is stricken with grief and tries to take hold of Elisha's feet, in supplication. This woman had showered hospitality on them many times in the past. Elisha said God had not shown him what was her need was. Gehazi simply tries to push her away! Elisha rebukes him, for his insensitivity to the need of this woman.
The man of God needs perception more than he needs protection!
Elisha raised the boy from the dead but Gehazi was excluded. He interpreted the prophet's words to the woman, but had no part in the miracle.
It is possible to have Charisma without Anointing!
Gehazi next appears in the story of a famine affecting the Bible School. Elisha tells him to share the gift of 20 barley loaves and some wheat in the ear with the 100 people present. Gehazi protests that there is not sufficient. Barley loaves in Israel were small bread buns, five were only enough for one little boy's lunch in the New Testament.
So soon had Gehazi forgotten the power of God; but we see that there was enough, ‘according to the word of the Lord' through Elisha. (2 Kgs. 4:43-44).
"People perceive paucity; Prophets perceive provision!"
Gehazi's Fourth and Final Test.
In the book of 2 Kings 5:20-27 we are told of Naaman being healed of Leprosy, without charge by Elisha, and Gehazi deciding to take money under false pretenses from the Syrian Captain. When he returned stealthily back to Elisha's house with his booty, he was asked where he had come from. The heart of Elisha was grieving for Gehazi, longing for him to repent. He had failed three times, he now has a final chance to repent.
He lied and Elisha declared that the Leprosy of Naaman would come on him and his descendants forever. Sadly Gehazi was dismissed, now a leper, from Elisha's service.
Here was a man who wanted to serve God but who lacked integrity.
He showed lack of empathy in the presence of grief.
He had the Prophet's Staff but he lacked Prophetic Faith.
When put to feed 100 people with a few little barley buns, he protests the possibility of a miracle.
He displays avarice and lack of character, as he lies to cover up his actions.
John Darby in his Synopsis says, "It seems to me that Gehazi stands here in a grievous position. Smitten by the hand of God, because his heart clung to earth, even in the presence of Jehovah's mighty and long-suffering testimony, he is now a parasite in the king's court, relating the wonderful things in which he no longer took part".
The man whom God uses must be a person of Spiritual sensitivity and integrity.
Charisma and appearance may look good to men, but God looks on the heart.
If you want to serve God, put your whole life in His hands and trust Him for everything.
Substitute a God-view for your World-view, then you will see how God will lead and direct you into a lifelong ministry that will be a blessing to a needy world around you. | 2019-04-24T23:55:23Z | https://globalchristiancenter.com/christian-living/lesser-known-bible-people/31303-tried-and-found-wanting |
I just received a letter from the BBC saying that Sky had informed them that viewers will loose ITV, C4 & C5 unless one takes out a minimum Sky subscription..
I don't want Skym, but is there an alternative and does anyone know how much the "minimum" costs?
Thanks Carrington, for your many words of wisdom on both forum etiquette and ITV & Channel 4.
Perhaps the first person to buy the cheapy card and cancel and still get a picture could let us all know.
So - I'm am getting very confused, but - if I subscribe to Sky via a UK address, get the card (I already have a dish and box at the place I am renting) can I view ITV and C4 again?
Along with many others based on the CdA,I am obliged to pay the tv licence here in France,and as well as being an EU citizen, have the right to watch anything i damned well choose,be it from France,UK or elsewhere; Nobody on these forums has stated words to the effect of it being a "protected human right" to watch Sky,such daft comments only serve to highlight and bring in to sharper focus your own ignorance and limited knowledge of the subject at hand;The individual was only asking for advice,not a lecture,surely if you haven't anything constructive to add then perhaps you could kindly refrain from littering the forums.Last thing we all need is some armchair advocat with a tired and tried rant sending us all of to noddy land with weary lines we've already heard time and time again..
If you take a cheap one month sub and then cancel,you should still be able to view all the free to air channels with the exception i believe of channel five.As they are "free" with the Sky card.The card has to be one of the newly issued ones also (with the house on the card),otherwise it's due to be switched off in the coming days/weeks.
Moving north is a bit drastic! Problem I have, as I am renting at the moment, but probably not for too much longer, I am reluctant to spend a lot of money. Today BBC is OK, but it comes and goes - a bit like the sun. Where is that sun today? It seems hotter than ever, but heavy and cloudy! No chance now with ITV etc - that pop-up screen is worse than any computer virus! I am very concerned about missing Corrie.
I would be a bit suspicious of the assurance that "the card can be cancelled and you get to keep the card that allows one to watch ITV, C4 & C5 for free."
I have an expired subscription card, along with thousands of others (in the UK also). If what you're told is true then it's exactly as you say, a rip-off as technically there's no difference and no reason to turn us off.
I agree with PDG on this.
He has a UK TV licence which allows him to watch BBC - it is not illegal to do so outside the UK.
It is however illegal to watch the Sky movie channels outside UK for copyright/distribution reasons. It's also illegal to exceed the speed limit or use a cellphone whilst driving - to use your motoring analogy. Could you look me in the eye and claim never to have broken the law? No, I thought not.
There is a European law that no-one is allowed to deprive a person of access to TV/Radio from their home country. On that basis, some syndics have been forced to allow tenants to put up satellite dishes.
I realise that you are probably playing devil's advocate here, but your attitude comes over as bordering on sanctimonious.
you may not want to watch french tv in france but so what? you may not want to wear a seatbelet but you do because it is the law. what makes tv different?
1. I do have a UK television licence.
3. ITV, C4 & C5 gain their revenue from advertising not the TV licence.
if you were in the uk where the Bbc and Itv can legally broadcast then you could watch them "for free" (after paying a big licence fee) by simply sticking bunny ears on your tv.
That is quite normal as the BBC has changed it's footprint and is a bit fussier to get: watch out for trees that didn't matter before.
Incidently I have been told by the Skym rip-off merchants that the minimum fee of £12 per year has been "reduced" by 50% as an "introductory offer" and after a year (£72) the card can be cancelled and you get to keep the card that allows one to watch ITV, C4 & C5 for free.
It is a complete con: I don't want to watch Skym Sport or American Films or 1960 English sitcoms!! | 2019-04-23T10:53:00Z | https://smartexpat.com/france/provence-alpes-cote-d-azur/forum/general/free-to-view-satellite-itv-c4-c5-2188 |
Memphis International Airport officials say it's business as usual there, while reports of canceled flights due to a lack of air traffic controllers are rolling in from across the country.
Air traffic controllers, according to a USA TODAY report, are calling in sick as the government shutdown continues.
Flights at three major airports were being delayed Friday, and the Federal Aviation Administration’s flight delay map showed significant departure delays at Philadelphia and Newark, New Jersey, on Friday morning. Lesser delays also showed at New York LaGuardia.
Spokesperson Glen Thomas said while the Memphis airport is seeing some flight cancellations, airport officials are not privy to why those flights are canceled or delayed — they just know the status.
Thomas said as of Friday morning, he was only aware of one canceled flight from Memphis to Washington, D.C., on American Airlines; one canceled flight to LaGuardia in New York on Delta; and two delayed afternoon flights to LaGuardia on Delta.
Though Memphis' airport is operating normally, Thomas warns that things can change quickly.
"We always recommend to passengers that they can check directly with their airlines for more information, as the airlines rather than the airport will have the latest information on scheduling status," Thomas said.

Station Soccer was unveiled at the Five Points MARTA station last week. Image courtesy of Soccer in the Streets.
The new soccer field at Five Points Station – the world’s first soccer field inside a major urban transit station – was unveiled last week.
Dubbed “Station Soccer,” the project is focused on helping to develop grassroots soccer and provide life skills programs to Atlanta’s underserved urban communities, according to a news release.
The field was built as a collaboration between Soccer in the Streets, Atlanta United and MARTA.
A grant from the Atlanta United Foundation enabled Soccer in the Streets to bring the field to the MARTA system. The 9,600-square foot mini-pitch, located at MARTA’s Five Points Station Amphitheater, is the first soccer field in the world to be built inside the perimeter of a major urban transit station. The pitch will be used for training sessions, 5v5 league matches, fundraisers and other special events.
As part of its new push for expanding free youth programs, Soccer in the Streets will also have adult leagues at Soccer Station. Every dollar spent by adult teams at Station Soccer will help fund youth programs.
Soccer in the Streets will administer the program at the field, placing emphasis on youth development and community outreach through soccer. Programming will include establishing mentoring sessions, promoting employability among young people and developing grassroots soccer programs. | 2019-04-23T09:54:52Z | http://www.atlantaloop.com/soccer-field-at-five-points-marta-station-unveiled/ |

The Sackler family (previously) is one of the richest in the world, and if you've heard of them, it's probably because their family name adorns so many art galleries, museums, and academic institutions around the world: but they way they got that money is less-well-known.
The Sackler fortune was made through the family pharma company, Purdue, which used illegal tactics, fraud, bribery and disinformation campaigns to deliberately create the US opioid addiction (read about it here), whose death toll puts the Vietnam wars and other great national scars in the shade. What's more, Purdue is recycling the tactics it developed to trick, coerce or bribe doctors into overprescribing its flagship product Oxycontin in other countries, creating fresh mountains of corpses and mountains of cash.
The Sacklers are pretty much Exhibit A when it comes to using philanthropy to launder the reputations of capitalism's most immoral, rapacious beasts. As Anand Giridharadas has forcefully argued, one of the major functions of "charitable giving" is to deflect attention away from the blood on a billionaire's hands (the other function is to allow billionaires to turn their pet theories into public policy, and here the Sacklers also shine, helping to destroy the life-chances of a whole generation by funding privatization efforts that shut down public schools and replace them with underperforming "charter schools").
Nan Goldin is a legendary photographer who nearly died when she got hooked on the Sacklers' products after a routine surgery. She's the founder of a pressure group called PAIN (Prescription Addiction Intervention Now), which is modelled on the AIDS activist group ACT-UP, following their example with high profile, flashy direct actions that lift the rock on wrongdoing and its enablers.
This weekend, PAIN targeted both the Guggenheim and the Met in New York; groups of activists dressed as normal museumgoers trickled into the Guggenheim and fanned out in small cells. Then Goldin entered the building and drew a small crowd (her work hangs in the Guggenheim) and at an agreed-upon signal, the activists showered "prescriptions" from the atrium railings on every floor of the Guggenheim, in which Robert Sackler, MD prescribes massive amounts of Oxycontin to Solomon R. Guggenheim -- calling attention to the massive sums that the Guggenheim has taken from the Sacklers, and the massive credibility that the Guggenheim has returned to the Sacklers, helping to make them synonymous with philanthropy, rather than murder.
Goldin let the protesters in a call-and-response that made their message and demands clear: "We want their money. For safe-consumption sites. For harm reduction. For treatment. It’s time, Guggenheim! Take down their names!" Then the chant broke out: "Oxy money is in the halls! Throw them out if you have the balls!"
The prescriptions that PAIN showered the Guggenheim with bore a quote from a discussion between Oxycontin inventor Robert Kaiko and Purdue's Richard Sackler, revealed in a filing by Massachusetts Attorney General in a lawsuit over Purdue's wrongdoing in the opioid epidemic: "If OxyContin is uncontrolled, it is highly likely that it will eventually be abused . . . How substantially would it improve our sales?"
The protesters staged a march without a permit from the Guggenheim to the Met, ignoring police entreaties to stick to the sidewalk, and staged a rally where survivors of opioid addiction and those who lost loved ones told their stories and called for the Sacklers to be brought to justice, their fortunes turned to helping those whose lives they destroyed and extinguishing the wildfire of addiction they deliberately set.
Masha Gessen's moving account of the day for The New Yorker reveals the power of the action, and illustrates how inequality and the proliferation of ever-richer billionaires connects directly to misery and death. There are no good billion-dollar fortunes.
“In the ground, next to Pablo Escobar!” another speaker, the harm-reduction activist Robert Suarez, proposed.
A third speaker, a woman named Alexis Pleus, who said that she came down to New York City from upstate with “a group of grieving families,” said, “I don’t care if they go to jail. I want their money. And buprenorphine,” an opioid derivative that is considered far less addictive than OxyContin, which makes it the drug of choice for treating opioid addiction. Buprenorphine, however, is much more difficult to obtain than OxyContin, at least in part because Food and Drug Administration guidelines for prescribing it are much more stringent than for OxyContin.
Summit Learning is a nonprofit, high-tech "customized learning" group funded by Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan's family charity; under the program, students are equipped with high-surveillance Chromebooks and work on their own "at their own pace" and call on teachers to act as "mentors" when they get stuck. | 2019-04-23T04:26:40Z | https://boingboing.net/2019/02/11/no-good-billionaires.html |
Stuff Jesus Said: Episode 9. Breakfast At Jesus’ John 21:1-12.
Jesus wants to prove himself to you within the context of faith. After He was raised from the dead, Jesus appeared to His disciples on the beach. They had fished all night without a catch. Jesus told them to cast the net on the other side of the boat, and their faith gave them a huge haul. Then Jesus said, “come and have breakfast.” Sometimes it is our faith that helps us defy the odds and know that Jesus is with us. | 2019-04-25T12:48:53Z | http://adamstadtmiller.com/podcast/stuff-jesus-said-episode-9-breakfast-at-jesus-john-211-12/ |

Downtown Las Vegas isn’t just about bright lights and casino excitement. Although DTLV is legendary for its neon lights and historic gaming establishments, the area also offers its fair share of arts and culture.
The amazing art scene is due in large part to First Friday — a free art festival held on the first Friday of every month that’s been going strong since its 2002 debut. Today, First Friday welcomes over 20,000 guests and is the largest event of its kind in Las Vegas. First Friday is popular with locals and visitors alike; some guests to downtown Las Vegas travel here specifically for this event. Here is everything you need to know about this eccentric event.
First Friday is held in the Arts District of downtown Las Vegas. The spacious district also referred to as 18b, is home to a variety of galleries and boutiques that participate in this highly popular event. It’s so popular, in fact, that reaching the festival by car can sometimes be a challenge.Consider using a parking garage, such as the free lot at 7th and Ogden – just make sure to arrive early at this lot to get a space. Paid parking areas are also an option, such as the Fremont St. Experience lot on 4th and Carson, or The Plaza Hotel & Casino lot on Main and Carson. Royal Rewards members may qualify for free parking.If possible, walking to First Friday is a hassle-free option, although crowds can get heavy at times.
First Friday is an art event; however, guests also enjoy incredible food and live entertainment. The event is a great opportunity for both visitors and locals to discover talented local artists. Thanks to this venue, pedestrian traffic in the downtown area has grown by leaps and bounds. First Friday has also helped promote the fantastic small businesses in the district.
Dress comfortably — think outdoor festival wear — and prepare for lots of walking. If you need a break, there are ample cafes and restaurants where you can rest your feet and grab a bite. A piece of art purchased at First Friday is a great souvenir to commemorate your time in Vegas.
The Arts District spans 18 blocks; here, you’ll find art galleries and so much more. Visit Glam Factory Vintage on Colorado for incredible vintage clothing. If its home décor you’re after, stop by Inside Style, a boutique specializing in interior décor.You’re likely to work up an appetite at First Friday — luckily, there are plenty of palate-pleasing downtown Vegas food options available. Casa Don Juan serves up authentic Mexican cuisine, and for fusion fare and cocktails, head to Mingo’s. There are even hair salons and tattoo parlors in this eclectic district.
Although there’s nothing wrong with relaxing in your plush downtown Vegas hotel suite, First Friday is a fantastic opportunity to get outside and mingle with guests and locals.
You don’t even need to be an art enthusiast to enjoy this event because there’s something to appeal to everyone! Although you’re sure to discover art that appeals to you at this event, there’s plenty of food, beverages, and street entertainment to enjoy as well. When visiting Vegas, attending First Friday is part of a well-rounded experience.

In addition to the shows listed above, there’s always the Omaha Lounge at the Plaza. Every night, guests are treated to a rotating variety of entertaining performances.
Few Vegas shows have the wherewithal to survive the constant evolution of the city and still come out on top. The Scintas have done just that. With injections of fresh material, an energetic dynamic between group members, and a new residency at the Plaza, The Scintas are on track to give downtown visitors an exciting show they are not soon to forget.
Frankie Scinta began performing at the age of 9 and instantly knew he wanted to spend his life on the stage. “Once I heard that applause that was it, I knew that’s what I was going to do for the rest of my life,” said Frankie. The Scintas formed and began performing in their hometown of Buffalo, New York before relocating to Las Vegas in 2000.
To encourage the idea of a full night out on the town, visitors can indulge in a fine meal at Oscar’s Steakhouse before heading down to the plush showroom to enjoy The Scintas.
During the show, every member of the audience is then invited back up to Oscar’s Steakhouse for a cocktail and the chance to meet and chat with the performers. This is another nod to keeping the vibe of vintage Vegas alive at the Plaza. “That’s what entertainers did in the old days,” said Frankie. Although it may seem like much of the show’s emphasis is on returning to old Vegas, the show truly offers something for everyone.
“Our show offers those who are between 30 and 70 somewhere to go where they can have an emotional connection to a show and can leave with a feeling,” said Frankie. After all, where else can you see Michael Jackson, Dean Martin, Bruno Mars, and Mick Jagger in one place?
Although The Scintas have performed at a variety of venues in Vegas, while watching the show, it’s easy to see the entire cast feels like they are at home at the Plaza. “We have an incredible showroom manager here, he’s taken us in like family,” said Frankie, “we are like one big family and I really think this is one of the few showrooms in Vegas that’s happening.” Before signing with the Plaza, The Scintas had other offers, but knew it had to be the Plaza after seeing the showroom. “We are in an iconic showroom, they don’t even make them like this anymore,” said Frankie, “this is where the icons performed!”The dynamic between the members of the Scintas creates a remarkable balance that guides you through the show. The performer of the group is, of course, Frankie, who feeds on the energy of the audience and banter with drummer and “honorary Scinta” Peter O’Donnell. The comedic relief and relaxed vibe come from Frankie’s brother, Joe, whose spot on impressions are so over the top you can’t help but laugh. The newest member of the group, Janien Valentine, does a classical opera number that is sure to have every member of the audience on their feet. | 2019-04-26T01:54:44Z | https://www.plazahotelcasino.com/blog/2016/04/ |

I have 3 Pets Corner stores near me. Burgess Hill, Ditchling and Haywards Heath. None of the stores know anything about donating food to Rescue Remedies. They already have an arrangement with a local dog rescue and donate all their food to them.
The Winchester store helped the dogs at the Guildford kennels find Christmas a bit taster by donating 2 sacks of premium kibble and approximately TWO HUNDRED Nature Diet trays!
They also donated a very posh and comfy bed that Rocky RR bagged to make kennel life a bit more comfortable!
This Pets Corner support really is proving invaluable so I urge you all to please continue to ask your local stores for any surplus stock that they wish to donate to us.
The Ware and Royston branches already support local rescues. The Enfield branch doesn't and are happy to donate to RR. The manager wasn't there when I called in this morning but the assistant gave me the 4 bags she could find and I dropped them off at Broxbourne. I'll try and speak to the manager in the week as I can collect regularly on my way to the kennels at weekends.
Collected another donation from my local pets corner in the garden centre in Morden yesterday which included cat food and some bedding and blankets given to them from a local vet.
The staff are brilliant can't thank them enough .
Delighted that volunteers are going into individual Pets Corner stores and are being given unwanted and returned food, as well as one off items like damaged beds. Their staff couldn’t have been any nicer or more helpful. They really have been outstanding - I can’t thank them enough. Having done it personally at the Winchester store, I know they appreciate the food being picked up, often at short notice, as they need the space in their storeroom. If any store is unaware that this is happening, with Pets Corner offering this great support, do mention that the offer came from Dean Richmond, the CEO and owner of Pets Corner himself. Even if the store already supports another dog charity, they seem to be willing to share their food and include RR. Dean also personally donated to the recent urgent appeal, so we are even more grateful to him. I won’t shop anywhere else for our own RR dog, Ronnie. Thank you Pets Corner.
Did anyone go to the Fleet store? I thought someone did, but I can't remember who, or what the result was. | 2019-04-25T18:33:33Z | https://www.rescueremediesdogrescue.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=245&p=113061 |

Kenneth Slessor wrote some culture defining Australian poetry and is still considered as one of Australia’s great poets. Aside from poetry however, he was a decorated journalist and “writing industry” leader having a hand in managing peak industry bodies, editing, writing criticism, and seeing action as a war correspondent in WWII. What makes him very unique however is that he quit writing poetry as the top of his game as an artist. This act reveals more about the man, and his attitude to the worth of artistry, than his work ever could.
Kenneth Adolf Slessor (1901-1971), poet and journalist, was born on 27 March 1901 at Orange, New South Wales. German-Jewish in origin, the family name was Schloesser, yet Ken’s father changed the family surname to ‘Slessor’ on 14 November 1914, just after the outbreak of World War I. An early influence on Slessor’s writing was Norman Lindsay and his exuberant posse. Slessor’s themes in earlier works were flavoured by gods, myths, and pagans, identifying strongly with Lindsay’s artistic style and content, yet Slessor “had none of Lindsay’s giant egocentricity, and was as devoted to experiment as Lindsay was opposed to it” (Haskell, 2002). Lindsay’s woodcuts appeared in Slessor’s first book of poetry, Thief of the Moon, published in 1924, “printed on a hand-press by J. T. Kirtley in his Kirribilli bathroom” (Haskell, 2002). Then followed Earth-Visitors in 1926, also illustrated by Norman Lindsay. Lindsay and Slessor edited a short-lived literary journal entitled Vision (4 issues)which aimed to “cut adrift from parochialism” in the Australian arts climate at the time, which celebrated the outback, Australian flora and fauna, stockmen and pioneers, Slessor being dismissive of all the bush balladeers including Lawson and Patterson (Semmler, pvii, 1944).
Where humbler men found a mess of sparks.
Slessor’s literary route was esteemed to say the least, if at times contradictory. His first poems were published in the Bulletin in 1919, and in the same year he joined the Sydney Sun as a graduate journalist. He wrote and contributed to other publications over his time such as Punch (where he met artist Joe Lynch – whose drowning inspired 5 Bells) Smith’s Weekly (at a time when Rosaleen Norton was contributing horror stories), and the Melbourne Herald amongst others.
Having influential friends, colleagues and engaging dinner party partners, Slessor took Australian poetry somewhere new. This is a credit to his skill and desire to think and invent. His subject matter was very much Australian a lot of the time, some dedicated to regional settings, yet always with a twist here and a slash there he managed to bring further value to his already personal and poignant pen. Importantly in most of Slessor’s major works he is not intimidated by either a European cultural cringe (which must have been pervasive at the time), or the referred domestic pressure of unpacking of local pioneer myths and legends. Instead he manages to straddle this ground with originality and simplicity. “He raised all the problems about the relationship of the Australian poet to European culture” (TLS, 1976). Slessor expressed a “uniquely Australian language which so many Australian poets sought, and still seek” (TJS, 1976).
‘Australian-ness’ is elusive for many a writers and poets still. Some writers are still ashamed of it, others are overawed by trying too hard, punctuating work with nationalistic or nostalgic sentiment. Others still milk the clichés of popular myths with prawns on the barbeque, shearing sheep and endless roads, incorrectly assuming a loyal religiosity to such subjects from discerning readers, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Yet others are inspired by the endless supply of material in the Australian wilderness and landscape, sometimes folding Indigenous cultures in, again, assuming that introspective, lovely, self-indulgent descriptions of the functions of nature and the habits of birds will seal the deal and win Australian poetry prizes. Lamentably, in many cases and for aesthetic reasons I am yet to understand (I am not sure if I want to), this is correct. ‘Australian-ness’ and it’s worth, it’s palatability, it’s importance, is all a matter of taste, of course, leading us to an intractable debate around values and beliefs. A poetical, towering, figure that springs to mind is Les Murray, whose word combinations are sublime yet taste of the local earth. Deeper still, and managing to circumvent the usual traps that all writers and poets have fallen for in an attempt to capture that essence, is the lesser known Philip Hodgins (1959-1995). A local, Central Victorian, who lived in Bet Bet, near Maryborough, up until his death in 1995. Hodgins is well known for his poems on illness and hospitalisation. His poems about personal experience with a life on the land could have so easily been lame clichés, but he had the skill and grit to dig deeper with his observations, giving new life to subject matter that many have made plain. His legacy is mostly solid, insightful poetry and pieces weaving myths, symbols, and nature together in a classless, at times tough, and beautiful way.
A marked feature of Kenneth Slessor’s life was that he stopped writing poetry. He must have been sick to death of people asking him why. Imagine the time it must have taken for the message to disseminate through his circle of friends and associates, and beyond (…but why Ken? Why? Why? echo echo). Perhaps today there is a greater pressure to continue, greater pressure from product and turnover. Slessor certainly had nothing to prove by this time. There must have also been a sense of disappointment in the fan base, eliciting romance-rescue fantasies from fans and admirers (Imagine the headlines in the minds of those fans … ‘Love Gets Ken Back on Track’ or ‘Rhyme and Reason returns to Ken’s Pen’). Clementine Semmler, who wrote the forward to Slessor’s Selected Poems, claims he ceased writing poetry as an act of “self-criticism” because he felt he had “nothing more to say poetically” (Semmler, ix, 1944). Some argue Slessor lived his station as a respected poet as “a problem” and that he was “restricted by it” (TLS, 1976). I have read much of Slessor’s poetry and personally, I don’t care for a lot of it, especially the earlier works. Their themes aren’t attractive to me, and there are deliberate explosions (the sign of a writer experimenting and searching for a ‘voice’). I am, however, in awe at Slessor’s outstanding poems. Especially his signature works like 5 Bells, Beach Burial and Five Visions of Captain Cook. These are poems that can never be read often enough. Whatever the real reason Slessor stopped thinking and seeing things in this world as poetical challenges, he loved to write, suggesting that the category of poetry was too limiting for him. His war correspondence, it was suggested, “far outstrips Hemingway’s in the evocation of battle” (TLS, 1976). There is also, I suspect, the love of a working life in the mix, possibly being weighed against the worth of a “poet” in the world, especially after his experiences of WWII.
Some artists, like boxers, probably go on too long, yet this is their prerogative (cue images of Lester Ellis). “When a poet’s prose manifests qualities that his verse is starved of, we are entitled to suspect that he has not taken his final risks as an artist” (TLS, 1976). Slessor showed honesty, integrity, and a sense of balanced professionalism when he decided that he had nothing left to say as a poet, maybe the fire wasn’t burning hot enough to begin with.

MOSCOW, August 29. /TASS/. Lock the service “Yandex.Video” will come into force, despite the appeal of the company “Yandex” the decision of Moscow city court about the need for blocking pirated content. TASS said the Deputy head of Roskomnadzor Vadim Subbotin.
“This interim measure is in any case the securing of the claim is in the form of block resource 15 days”, – said Subbotin.
He also added that the company “Yandex” has ignored the initiative of Roskomnadzor at the signing of the Memorandum on combating piracy on the Internet.
“The document was prepared, was agreed, was ready for signing. “Yandex” ignored him”, – said Subbotin.
Previously initiated the creation of the Memorandum was made by the head of Roskomnadzor Alexander Zharov. In his opinion, the document would become a milestone in the self-regulation of market distribution and consumption of content.
The authors of the Memorandum informed officially invited “Yandex” to the signing of this document.
The representative of the developer of the document in the Media and communications Alliance previously told TASS that the document should regulate the main principles and order of interaction of rights holders and service providers within the framework of the fulfillment of requirements to remove illegally posted content.
For the interaction of rights holders with leading Internet companies to combat piracy directly, there is a provision of the law “On information, information technologies and protection of information”, providing for an extrajudicial procedure of stopping the spread of pirated content by the site owner or hosting provider based on the request of the copyright holder.
Roskomnadzor has demanded from “Yandex” delete pages with pirated content channels “Gazprom-media” until Thursday evening, August 30. Subbotin explained that if the content is removed, the security measures will come into force. The company “Yandex” believes the decision of Moscow city court on the question of removal of links to pirated content are unfounded and intends to appeal.
The decision of Moscow city court, obliging “Yandex” to remove links to pirated content, does not solve the problem, the company said. Resources with questionable content will be available in other search engines, social networks and other sources, explained in the “Yandex”. The company said that they plan to work with market participants to find a solution within the existing legal framework.
Earlier, the TV channels TNT, TV-3, 2×2, Super sent a statement to Moscow city court with the requirement to adopt provisional measures to the resource “Yandex”. In particular, the statement noted that the search results “Yandex” offers users video websites where illegally posted TV series “house arrest,” “no contest,” show “mystery history” and animated series “Beware earthlings”.
The court of appeals of the channels and sent a definition to be executed by the Roskomnadzor. | 2019-04-18T20:35:32Z | http://freenews-en.tk/2018/08/30/roskomnadzor-has-promised-to-block-the-yandex-video-despite-the-appeal-of-the-decision/ |

Union Olimpija Ljubljana bolstered its frontcourt by inking power forward Marko Mladjan to a one-year deal on Wednesday. Mladjan (2.05 meters, 23 years old) arrives from BBC Monthey, where he averaged 16.4 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 32 Swiss League games last season, in which he helped his club lift the Swiss Cup trophy. He has played his whole career in Switzerland, starting it with BC 79 Arbedo. Mladjan also worked for Star Gordola, Lugano Tigers, Groupe E Academie Fribourg and Fribourg Olympic. He helped Lugano win back-to-back Swiss doubles - league and cup titles - in 2011 and 2012. Mladjan is also a member of the Swiss national team. | 2019-04-26T14:05:52Z | https://www.eurocupbasketball.com/eurocup/news/i/7aa97jx3tj35tife/union-olimpija-adds-power-forward-mladjan |

Housing developers are set to get embroiled in a bidding war for a former Gloucester school which has been put on the market with plans for 90 homes.
Bishop’s College and surrounding fields off Escourt Road is being sold by Gloucestershire County Council to companies looking to build and sell homes on the future estate.
The 14 acre plot is being marketed by estate agents Bruton Knowles and associate surveyor Rob Anthony said there had been strong interest shown already.
But he remained coy on what the council's asking price was.
“There has been a lot of interest from most housing developers in the area. We have seen far more signs of interest than is usual,” he said.
“There is no guidance price at the moment, we want the bidders to work as hard as they can on that.
“They are all big companies so know what they are doing in terms of price valuation.
The successful bidder taking on the construction of the new estate will have to pay almost £1million in developer contributions which will be invested in education, libraries and play areas which will be administered by the council.
A more detailed planning permission must be submitted before building can start. The existing outline permission allows them the principle of demolishing the school and building 90 homes and a large amount of open space.
Only eight homes are needed for affordable housing, which means they will be have to be sold at lower than the market rate.
Some the land to the north of the site has already been leased by the city council to the adjacent University of Gloucestershire to be sued as sports fields.
The deadline for bids is noon on Thursday, August 10. | 2019-04-22T02:45:20Z | https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/gloucester-news/bidding-war-land-near-plock-148971 |
Formula D transports you into the turbulent world of Formula 1: Don't lose control of the engine in the last bottleneck, master the chicane, stick to your opponent's back wheels, take advantage of the slipstream and then coolly overtake him … A Formula 1 pilot has to be willing to take risks and be able to plan ahead - at least if you want to get to the very top of the winners' podium.
Formula D also means the suspense of illegal racing on the streets of the big cities. Anything goes: customized cars, nitro fuel injection, skidding in roundabouts, unfair tricks … The game principles always stay the same, but different cars, rules and circuits come into play.
This new edition of Formula D contains material which has not yet been published, including painted cars, dashboards, driver profiles, circuits … And simple playing instructions are enclosed, allowing you to start play immediately. Off you go!
10 dashboards for the players.
Other products in the "Formula D" series.
Great multiplayer car racing game where you use dice to determine the gear you are in. the higher the gear the further the movement. be careful not to go to fast in the turns. you dont want to crash and blow up your car.
Yes, there is some randomness and light-spiritedness to this racing classic, but the different "dice gears" add some tactics as well. It's fun, thematic, can incorporate up to 10 people, and if you keep it to a single race around the track, about an hour long to play. Add some extra gears dice (sold separately) to help speed things up a bit so that players don't have to grab as much at using one set of common dice. If you want to add more time and complexity there are several good thematic rules additions that add more realism to Formula 1 style races, and even more theme (and crazyness) with the street racing version, that features new car models from which to choose and varied characters with different "powers" and advantages/disadvantages to their cars. I prefer just the Formula One gameplay best, either with the basic or intermediate rules.
While this is correctly categorized as a roll-and-move game, there is so much more to it than that. It's a blast trying to figure out how hard you can/should push your vehicle and what you can do to mitigate the consequences. The game plays fast and everyone who's ever driven a car can relate to the mechanics in some way. Very good game to own, especially since it plays up to 10!
Leave it to Asmodee to take a bona fide classic and give it a fantastic upgrade. With new tracks, cooler painted cars, new street racing rules, and yet all of the classic gear-based roll and move action you're used to, you just try playing this game without making "VROOOOM" noises as your cars race around the track. Not possible. | 2019-04-22T22:18:33Z | http://www.fairplaygames.com/gamedisplay.asp?gameid=5781&SERIES=1 |

Make no mistake, sterling’s collapse is a very serious development, and has serious consequences for sterling interest rates.
While it is becoming apparent that interest rates are going to have to rise possibly for all currencies on a one-year view, sterling’s problems are the consequence of bad judgement, and perhaps intellectual arrogance on the part of the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee. The MPC in turn is not and cannot be independent from the influence of Mark Carney, the Bank’s Governor, who made the expensive error of intervening in the Remain campaign.
Many commentators are saying that sterling was over-valued, and the fall will stimulate exports. But value is wholly subjective, and not formulaic, as the ivory-tower economists would have us believe. The idea of stimulating exports through lower currency rates overlooks the depressing effect of the transfer of wealth it triggers from ninety per cent plus of the population, in favour of foreigners and owners of export businesses. That is the point about stagflation.
Do not forget the bank’s stated objective, its mission statement, which is on the front page of its website. It is “Promoting the good of the people by maintaining monetary and financial stability”. Monetary stability is further defined by the Bank elsewhere as “stable prices and confidence in the currency”.
Therefore, this year it has failed spectacularly in its basic mission, as the chart below shows.
The loss of sterling’s purchasing power against other currencies since 1 January has been the least against the headline US dollar, at 17.5%. It has been marginally worse at 19% against the euro, and considerably more against the yen and gold. Unless there is a sustained recovery in sterling in the coming months, the rate of price inflation, irrespective of the outlook for economic activity, will most likely exceed 5% next year. Unilever, for example, is trying to force through price increases of 10% on its range of household and food products. The Bank will be forced to raise interest rates considerably to get price inflation back under control.
It’s worth considering what went wrong, so that we can better assess the future for sterling and the British economy, and to learn lessons that might apply to other currencies as well. Major central bank policies are all driven by the same macroeconomic assumptions, so sterling’s troubles may well be repeated elsewhere in due course.
At the root of the currency problem is an assumption on the part of central bankers that they have primacy over markets. This primacy has become increasingly evident since the breakdown of Gibson’s paradox in the 1975-1982 period, when interest rates no longer reflected demand for savings by business investors. They began to be set by monetary policy aimed at managing consumer demand instead. It marked an economic evolution away from commercial activity in favour of the purely financial, and as that trend gathered momentum, central banks exercised more and more control over the deployment of capital. Notably, governments were able to finance their accumulating deficits with progressively lower interest rates, taking financing costs towards the lower bound.
It is a process that cannot continue indefinitely, because, as the old adage goes, markets eventually reassert themselves. This adage is a summation of all that’s wrong with monetary and financial collectivism, the inability of central planning to allocate capital resources as efficiently as free markets. Sooner or later, a mistake, changing circumstances, or a black swan event leads to a financial or currency crisis. This happens from time to time, and every time the lenders of last resort manage to save their carefully constructed artifices, they say there are lessons learned, and it won’t happen again. Hubris.
Mark Carney made a definite mistake. It was exacerbated by a change of circumstance, but was not a black swan event. As one of the world’s most respected central bankers, Carney apparently believed he had the authority to frighten the British voter into rejecting Brexit by threatening an economic apocalypse. His public utterances ahead of the vote ensured sterling would crash, and financial markets with it, when the vote went Brexit’s way. That event in June is clearly reflected in the chart above. Having dug himself into a hole of his own making, Carney then dug even deeper. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, he continued to believe his own propaganda, that the consequences of Brexit would be dire on a medium-term view. Without waiting for confirmation, the BoE cut interest rates and announced a further round of bond purchases.
Sterling is taking it on the chin. Such is the groupthink in the Bank and in the City that there was no one credible with the sense to advise caution. Large financial corporations are still lobbying furiously for a quasi-remain solution to Brexit, with continuing access to Europe’s broken financial system. Ergo, if they are threatening to move to Frankfurt, Paris and now even New York, the outlook for Britain must be bleak.
Doubtless, Carney and Co. will continue to blame Brexit for sterling’s accelerating collapse, as well as rogue traders (viz. the flash crash last week). The problem with hubris is the blame always lies elsewhere.
The Prime Minister and her Chancellor have also been unhelpful. At the Conservative Party conference greater economic intervention was promised, and the Prime Minister herself stepped over the boundary of the Bank’s independence by criticising QE. The Chancellor’s remarks, perhaps reflecting the opinions of his officials, were similarly unhelpful for sterling, and it has since emerged that Treasury civil servants are trying to subvert Brexit, fearing loss of tax revenue.
Investors and traders now have to contend with a sharply different market environment. Referring back to the introductory chart, it is clear the best performing money for hapless Brits has been gold. Gold has risen this year, priced in all the major fiat currencies, which tells us that commodity inputs to price inflation around the world are turning positive. This is confirmed by the following chart, based on the St Louis Fed’s Producer Price Index for All Commodities, adjusted by the sterling exchange rate, and indexed to October 2011. The implied inflation rate, smoothed over four quarters, is the red line plotted on the right-hand scale.
Wholesale price inflation on this measure bottomed strongly negative in the middle of 2015, but since then has become strongly positive. This is partly due to the dollar PPI rising by 20% from January this year, but the rest is due to sterling’s weakness.
The root of everything we buy is the commodities and raw materials in this index. When we buy services, we pay service-providers who in turn will spend some of the money on goods, and their service providers in turn will equally spend a portion on goods. Therefore, producer prices are fundamental to all economies, including one like the UK, in which an estimated 80% of GDP is represented by the service sector. To see PPI inflation running at 25% after -25% is therefore an extremely serious issue.
Consensus forecasts for UK price inflation do not appear to take this sufficiently into account. The Bank of England in its August Inflation Report expected price inflation to be only 2% in three years’ time, though independent forecasters have expected it to be somewhat higher, perhaps 2 ½ per cent by the end of next year. However, the fall in sterling is forcing analysts to revise inflation forecasts upwards, with Deutsche Bank saying “higher import prices should add nearly four per cent to CPI over three years…. However, if sterling bears predicting a further 10% decline prove correct, inflation’s 25-year high of 5.2 per cent may be threatened” (Fast FT, July 11th).
Since that report, sterling fell by a further 10% in last week’s flash crash, though it has recovered somewhat. There is no doubt that the UK’s price inflation in 2017 is the one subject analysts will be waking up to in the coming weeks. But it’s not just the fall in sterling that will push the Consumer Price Index significantly higher, but commodity prices as well.
One thing’s for sure, a swing in sterling PPI inflation from -25% to +25% in only fifteen months will have a major, and generally underestimated effect on headline price inflation. The Bank of England’s published forecast is a make-believe, and it is frightening that the MPC thought inflation would remain under its 2% target to the point where it felt a cut in its Minimum Lending Rate was warranted. With the bank going one way on interest rates and reality the other, the only way to prevent further devaluation is for the Bank to jack up interest rates as soon as possible before further damage is done.
The BoE raising rates immediately is extremely unlikely, so we face the unwanted prospect of stagflation. The BoE’s monetary policy will be torn between two contrasting objectives, a stagnating economy and escalating price inflation. The economists at the Bank will want to keep interest rates down to encourage growth, while markets will demand higher interest rates all along the yield curve, forcing up the cost of borrowing for government, corporations and consumers. If we repeat the experience of the seventies, which we seem fated to do, both the Treasury and the Bank will persist in the view that markets are wrong, and they are right. They will tough it out until a good old fashioned sterling crisis changes their minds.
The Bank’s mistakes in monetary policy will have far-reaching implications. The level of mortgage debt in the UK is at record levels, so residential property prices are likely to take a very bad hit from significantly higher interest rates. The inability of many businesses to pass on higher input prices to cash-strapped consumers will lead to a downturn in economic activity, falling profits and wages in real terms, and increased unemployment. Savings, which have been progressively channelled out of bank deposits and into speculative capital assets, will suffer losses. Because levels of debt today are far higher than they were in the last stagflation episode in the 1970s, the fall-out from Carney’s mistake threatens to be considerably greater today.
As if the pound’s problems were not enough, the medium-term outlook for commodities is also for rising dollar-denominated prices. The reason this is so is that the Chinese economy, which the IMF and western economists routinely criticise, is being deliberately refocused away from low-value production towards higher technology products and a massive infrastructure programme covering much of Asia. The current resurgence of the dollar, which is behind commodity price softness in the last two weeks, is therefore likely to prove temporary. That being the case, it is clear that the US economy also faces stagflation, if only on a lower scale than the UK.
It is for this reason that a rise in dollar interest rates also seems inevitable. In fact, wholesale markets are already pricing dollar credit well above the Fed Fund Rate, indicating prima facie that the FFR should be 0.5% higher. This trend of higher wholesale interest rates has been in place for some time as the next chart clearly shows.
Furthermore, when the Fed raises its Fed Funds Rate, it is more than likely the interbank rate will rise above it, encouraging the Fed into a game of interest rate leapfrog, because the 12-month LIBOR rate is already at 1.58%. So we can conclude that the Fed is well behind the interest rate curve already, reflecting the classic stagflation dilemma. The imperative to resist raising interest rates before the economy faces capacity constraints contrasts with the growing need to raise interest rates to curb price inflation. The Fed is currently choosing to ignore the inflation outlook.
This being the case, it appears that the Fed in a milder way is caught in the same trap as the BoE. It will only raise interest rates significantly as a last resort, when forced to do so by the markets. The idea that markets, after all, will disrupt their monetary plans, have always been extremely unwelcome and strongly resisted by central bankers everywhere. Rising dollar interest rates will also provide a severe test for the ECB’s monetary policies, and threaten the Eurozone’s banking system, but the path to the euro’s loss of purchasing power has bigger factors at play than simple stagflation. The Bank of Japan faces other difficulties, and stagflation is not an immediate concern there. It is the two Anglo-Saxon currencies, whose issuers believe in both free markets and state management at the same time, where the dangers of stagflation are most odious.
Free markets and state management are like oil and water, and simply don’t mix. State management of both interest rates and the quantity of money and credit dupes the general public for a while, but not for ever. And when the ordinary person wakes up to the decline in the purchasing power of his money he reduces his cash liquidity in preference to ownership of consumable goods. No matter that higher interest rates bankrupt the over-indebted. No matter that rising unemployment leads to a general sense of job insecurity. No matter that the majority of people have little or no cash liquidity. Those that do have cash and start to accumulate the necessities of life may be a growing minority, but they are sufficient in number to drive up retail prices by creating inventory shortages. They are only the first to realise that raw material and other processing costs are rising, and that the purchasing power of their money is falling.
This realisation spreads, which is why stagflation leads to hyperinflation, unless it’s halted. Stopping it means forgetting monetary policy objectives, and either letting the market determine rates, in which case the ability of banks to create credit out of thin air has to be curtailed perhaps by the threat to their own insolvency, or rates are deliberately raised by the central bank high enough to crash the economy.
It was the market that forced a reluctant BoE to accept reality in 1975, principally through bankruptcies in the commercial property market (which is where the leverage was at that time) and in their lenders, the secondary banks. By way of contrast, the Fed, chaired by Paul Volcker, took the initiative over markets in 1981, jacking up interest rates until the economy stalled and people preferred money again to spending it. This time around, US government debt to GDP is over 100%, in 1980 it was about 30%. In the UK, most houses were mortgage-free in the 1970s. Today 80+% mortgages are typical. The consequences of markets regaining control over interest rates are considerably more dangerous today. Volcker’s interest rate policy was practical twenty-five years ago, in that the fall-out was generally containable. We cannot say that is true now, with all the debt that would default.
This has always been the basic argument for not putting trust in fiat currencies, instead having a form of money whose purchasing power is more stable in terms of commodities and raw materials. The Bank of England’s inept monetary policies under Mark Carney’s governorship seem certain to expose the fragility of fiat sterling to wider public attention and scepticism. If the consequences weren’t so serious, we might thank him for unwittingly toppling the status quo. But the inevitable crisis, many times worse than that faced in 1975, cannot be embraced even by the most extreme financial masochist. This is why people in Britain and America will increasingly find solace in gold. | 2019-04-20T16:49:42Z | https://www.goldmoney.com/research/goldmoney-insights/how-not-to-manage-a-currency |
