Bruh every time we come here we are left standing in the front being told someone will be right with you. Until we finally get the picture and seat ourselves then the waitress or waiter’s just walk around slowly like we aren’t even here. Then the manager/ cook whatever he is comes out and ask everyone in the restaurant if they need anything and walks straight past us. Horrible service and it’s really is like this every time. We won’t be back.… more
Denny’s is a coffee shop/diner. In that category, Denny’s is excellent on all counts. Food is inventive and good. Service is fast. And even when it is crowded, the wait staff, bussers, cooks, and cashiers do their very best to keep up with the crowd.… more
Byron customer skills was fantastic. We went there on Easter Sunday. We were seated quickly. We will revisit again soon if it is God will.… more
The food is good and the service was not very okay this time around. I’m actually pretty miffed. Everybody is usually pretty nice but my waitress was really pushy. I was sipping some lemonade after I had finished an appetizer and out of nowhere she brought me the check. Like what the heck I’m clearly not finished! Then I ordered a bacon avocado burger but then she gave it to me in a box, which I didn’t ask for. Also I ordered it with turkey bacon as I don’t eat pork for religious reasons but I got home I noticed there was pork bacon. I was too tired to go back but I’m really disappointed. At least the other waiters were cool but she really ruined my already bad night.… more
I was on a quick lunch with my AD, and there wasn’t enough staff for the volume of customers. I run a business across the street and understand the challenge to balance payroll.. However, whenever my wife and I visit Denny’s outside of a 25-mile radius out of home, quality of service is never an issue.… more
Got great service! Love that it’s open 24/7. If I were a student, this would be a great place to come study. They also had security during the nighttime when I came to eat at 1 or 2am. Overall, don’t hesitate to come. Lovely people and great service.… more

I went there with my sister on Saturday and I have to say that I was surprised that customer service still does exists (because it doesn’t at many places). The server talia noticed we were a bit chilly so she offered to move our table where is was less cold and her service was like VIP service. She is very attentive and sweet I really think this woman is the face of great customer service and she deserves more than a raise she needs to be promoted to like a manager or something so that she can teach her ways to the rest of the staff not saying there’s anything wrong with them but damn she is GOOD. I really hope they consider taking care of Talia because she’s taking care of everybody but who’s going to take care of her? Denny’s I hope you consider keeping this woman on a pedestal because like I said customer service is dead nowadays. Let me not forget to mention the food the food tasted great I even took my leftovers home. Overall experience I would rate 10000/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️… more
I went to this same location a week ago during the day shift at lunch time and it was a lot busier than it was tonight and our server Amber was AMAZING!!!! The food was ok and we had a good experience! However tonight I visited the same location and with my children and not only was the service incredibly horrible but the food was so off I had to send mine back. First after sitting over 10 after we were seated, they came to take our order. After taking our order it took the waitress almost 20 minutes just to bring our drinks, and may I add I had to remind them before they did so! My kids ordered their food and I had to remind them to bring my daughter her pancakes. I ordered a steak and asked for garlic bread and brown gravy. The young lady… more

Do you enjoy hearing a good Constitutional argument? You know, the kind you can remember snippets of & use in conversations later… If you haven’t heard Katherine’s argument in the MI Supreme Court against unconstitutional mandates, check this out: https://tinyurl.com/45he7ymp
As mentioned in our post regarding the Constitution Segment Recap, here is the PDF of all of the Motions & Briefs Katherine submitted Thursday, May 26th, to Allegan County 57th District Court: tinyurl.com/2p8j9j83
We would like to STRONGLY encourage you to take a few minutes to read the 1st link – “Notice of Hearing, Motion for Immediate Consideration, Proof of Service”. It gives the highlights of all the things that have been happening and what we are asking the court to do now. For more information on this case, and for more resources to fight your own situation, please continue reading the other documents submitted. We are also asking for prayers that the judge finally does the right thing in this case and dismisses both charges WITH prejudice (meaning charges cannot be resubmitted).
Didn’t catch our Get Involved Challenge for “Motions to Dismiss – What are they?” We talked about: Look at and read ALL of MCR 2.116 to learn the different ways you are able to defend yourself. You either have experienced, are experiencing, or will experience a situation where either you are bringing a claim that somebody is trying to get dismissed or a claim is being brought against you in a civil or criminal case. You need to know how to DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS.
• Michigan Court Rules can be found here: tinyurl.com/2p949utn
You can watch it at youtu.be/3GzMpgbVoxA
Didn’t catch our RFW episode? We discussed: Can you use these in criminal cases or civil cases? What law allows you to file these? What do they look like? What are some reasons you can request a case to be dismissed? Whether you have a case currently pending or not; whether you have an attorney representing you or not; whether you have any prior legal knowledge or not, this is definitely an episode you don’t want to miss!

Snapshot on the status of implementation of the EU Restructuring Directive in selected Member States and the new English scheme
Through the EU Restructuring Directive of 20 June 2019 (EUR 2019/1023, “Directive“), the European Union has imposed an obligation on the EU Member States to offer a more attractive and flexible restructuring scheme in their respective local law. The initial deadline to do so had been 17 July 2021. Only a handful of countries (most notably Germany and The Netherlands) had implemented the Directive within the initial deadline, whilst many other countries made use of the possibility to ask for a one year extension.
In April 2021, we published an overview of the status of implementation as the initial deadline approached (please see our newsletter here). In the last year, a number of additional countries have proceeded with implementation. Our latest update provides an update in key jurisdictions.
The Directive was in part a reaction to the forum shopping phenomenon observed with continental European companies in a financial crisis to restructure their debt under an English scheme of arrangement. The scheme of arrangement, which is not an insolvency process, offers the possibility to implement debt restructuring on the basis of a majority decision by the creditors. Under these rules, a single “hold-out” creditor is unable to block a reasonable restructuring plan if the majority of creditors approves it. Many European countries did not offer such a valuable possibility outside of an insolvency procedure. In many cases, insolvencies are value-destructive and lower the prospects of recovery for creditors.
For these reasons, the Directive made it mandatory for EU Member States to offer a “preventive restructuring framework” (“Framework“) for companies in a financially distressed situation when there is a likelihood of insolvency, with a view to preventing the insolvency and ensuring the viability of the company. Distressed companies should be given the possibility to restructure their debt under the protection of individual enforcement actions on the basis of the majority of the creditors’ decisions. Moreover, according to the Directive, new financing, interim financing and other restructuring-related transactions should be protected against avoidance actions in case the restructuring fails and the companies still file for insolvency.
Click the link below to read a high-level summary of the current status of the Directive’s implementation process in key jurisdictions.

Leonardo & IraItaly
Leonardo Ostaggio and Ira Ishchuk will join the teachers team!
From Rome, Italy, Leonardo started his journey as a dancer at the age of 13 diving into Hip Hop and its related styles, where he performed, trained and competed nationally. After discovering Lindy Hop at a music and cultural festival in Rome, he hasn’t turned back since and his passion and love for the dance has only continued to grow. Apart from his strong focus and studies in Lindy Hop, he also teaches Blues, Authentic Jazz and St Louis Shag and has recently discovered his love for Tap Dance. As he loves to take inspiration and ideas from as many places as possible, he has also touched on Balboa, Contemporany, Modern Dance and Ballet.
Leonardo has been travelling, performing, competing & attending dance classes from the best international Swing Dancers around the world developing his own dynamic style and personality.
Ira Ishchuk started dancing Lindy Hop in 2006 and found that this is the best way to express yourself, have fun, meet people and discover the world. She first found her way into couple dancing as a Follower (with a capital F), but since then has found thrill in her own interpretation and improvisation. She prefers to dance for, and with, her partner rather than the audience and doesn’t go for flashy dancing. She tries to follow as much as it is possible and find ways to have the most comfortable, joyful and unified dance: “Listen to the music, your partner and your body. Follow these guidelines and you’ll have the best dances ever!” During the last year she has been teaching Lindy Hop and Blues and Solo Jazz in Taiwan, Sweden, Denmark, at Dragon Swing, Herrang and Lindy Shock.

How Does ‘5 Minute Profit Pages’ Work in Just 2 Steps?
I don’t know how much software do you buy! But if you are a newbie or a jobless guy then you want to get results quickly. Honest, I express it, online marketing, affiliate marketing, getting traffic, building a website is not possible overnight. Most of the software promises that work in just 2 steps, 3 steps. Steps don’t matter if, you walk in the right ways. But there is no software that can perform for making money online in just 2 steps or 3 steps. No software can provide a proven method. The software just provides you useless features that are not enough for getting online success.
Now if I want to say about this software then it never works in just 2 steps. Do you think online marketing is as easy as this sales page promise? You’ll get thousands of software that also promise 2/3 steps to work. After buying this software you have to paste your affiliate details into 5 Done-For-You profit page. Then this software automates traffic like BLACK MAGIC and you can enjoy commissions ever seen. And there are no 3 steps for doing anything. You can sit back and get results like autopilot.
You’ll get 5 not workable DFY profit pages and every FOOLISH buyer of this software also use these DFY profit pages. Now, I want to ask how can you get results using these saturated profit pages.? Do you think about it? So at the first, no software works for making affiliate commissions, then this type of VALUELESS profit pages use all the buyer and no one get results with it. So, I can easily say it, this software veneer ever works in just 2 steps. Not only ‘2-steps’ this software but also any software works anyhow.
What Exactly You’re Going to Get Inside ‘5 Minute Profit Page’?
Do you know what you need to make big commissions? Inside this software, you don’t get any of the workable systems or elements for making big-ticket automated affiliate commissions. Five powerful profit pages are not enough for making multiple income streams. This money page can’t build money sites to maximize conversions. If you think this money page is set and forget and you can make commissions 24/7 then you are not right.
This is not a high converting offers for making money easier & faster. If you use this money/profit pages then you never generate $500 to $100 per sale. All these 5 DFY profit is saturated and not workable. This vendor already uses theses money pages for making his commissions. So, you don’t get any positivity on the other way the audience loses your attention when you use this type of useless and saturated profit page.
This No #1 problem of this software is TRAFFIC. Inside this training area, you don’t get any traffic sources. Then no software can generate automat traffic for free. If you depended on software for getting traffic then you can’t do it. If the software works then no one build website, make videos, to run paid ads for getting traffic. So, don’t believe this sales page fake promises.
Then inside this training, there is no step by step training. Software never provides your outline of online earning. SO, you don’t get step by step training for running your business in minutes. 5 Minute Profit Page is not worth to use. It may be easy to use or hard but it’s not workable. It’s a length boring training that can waste your time and energy without providing any output.
What’re The Benefits of This Software?
Inside this ‘5 Minute Profit Page’ software sales page included 3 powerful reasons for buying this software. But I don’t see any single reason to buy any software. If you are a newbie affiliate marketer or want to be an online earner then don’t buy any software. This type of software never is your income potential. You can’t make $500 to $1000 commissions in a short time. I think this vendor can make it. Most of the newbie fail because they want immediate results and for this, they buy various useless software.
If you want to get online success using any Done-For-You money pages then you can’t do it. Every marketer has their own funnel for generating leads and sales. If you use these 5 money pages then you just lose your time and money. Here is nothing hidden and extra task for generating huge commissions. Using these types of DFY pages you never get high ticket commissions. It’s not a stunning profit page for making online commissions.
Online marketing is not a system for getting quick commissions in just 2 steps. Do you know all the multi-millionaire marketer do their task every day? So, ‘Set & Forget’ is a SCAM word in online marketing. No software, method, or training provides you set and forget system. Because it’s totally impossible. After all, I don’t see any benefit of this BOGUS ‘5 Minute Profit Page’ software. If you’re a newbie then don’t fall into this trap. A lot of valueless software available in the Warriorplus marketplace like this one.

Does ‘5 Minute Profit Page’ Easiest Way to Bank Commissions?
No software can bank affiliate commissions. So 5 Minute Profit Pages is not the easiest way to bank commissions. No software can be plug & Play that generate free traffic for selling your offers. Automated big-ticket commissions can’t generate using any software. Then if you want to multiply your income streams then you have to build your traffic sources first. Otherwise, this type of software can’t do it. Then 5 Minute Profit Pages software never sells for you 24/7. It’s not a BLACK MAGIC. SO, don’t be lazy and don’t choose this type of bogus software for making big online commissions.
Inside this software, there are no secrets. It’s not a perfect system for making game-changing commissions. If you think you don’t need to do any struggling for online marketing then if’s impossible. No method, the software can do it easily. You have to learn online marketing first then you can generate traffic day by day and get big-ticket passive commissions 24/7. But using this software you can’t do it. 90% of newbie marketers are LAZY and GREEDY. They want overnight success but it’s totally impossible.
If you don’t have any previous working experience then you have to learn online marketing first. Then you can earn online commissions day by day. Inside this training area there are no traffic sources then if you but other BOGUS upset then you can get paid traffic sources but you can’t apply it. It’s not a complete traffic source for making online sales. For getting 4+ figure bank commissions try to build your traffic first. Don’t need to see the FAKE screenshot inside this sales page. Using this software you can’t fo it.
Why You Should Choose My No #1 Recommendation:
- ‘5 Minute Profit Pages’ is an automated affiliate marketing based software. You can get 5 DFY profit pages for getting built-in traffic and making big-ticket commissions, But it’s NOT a PROVEN software. On the other hand, my no #1 recommendation is a renowned Training Program of AFFILIATE MARKETING. This will teach you ‘where you can start your online business and how it’ll run for a lifetime’.

I honestly suggest you, If you want to learn from ZERO to a SUPER AFFILIATE. (JOIN HERE NOW) The no #1 business mode ate the present time.
My Final Verdict: 5 Minute Profit Pages Review
Finally, I want to say don’t depend on this software for automated affiliate marketing. It doesn’t worth $13 for this front end. This scam software never calculates your income destination. Day after days this type of fake software releases by the various vendor and most of the newbie marketer think it’s a big opportunity to change my bad days, but actually, this type of software never works for anyone.
I can loudly say, it’s NOT RECOMMENDED. This software never provides you financial support for you and your family. So, DON’T BUY this software and don’t waste your time & money behind this software. Thanks for reading my 5 Minute Profit Pages Review and take the right decision. Thanks.

A few weeks back, I detailed some fixes and modifications I’d been working on for my set of Kimber K6S revolvers. One of these was the addition of a set of Hogue rubber Bantam grips for my three-inch stainless model.
The overmolded rubber Bantams were a big improvement over the smooth walnut stocks that came with the gun. The walnuts were attractive, but they didn’t fill my large hand very well, and their smooth, glossy surface also didn’t offer much traction.
I was interested in another option, but was hesitant to spend the money on some of the more expensive alternatives, like the attractive Boot and Altai grips from Altamont, or the G10 Bantam grip from Hogue. Those looked like promising designs, but I didn’t want to spend that kind of money without first giving them a try in my hand. I’ve been bitten before by grips that looked wonderful in a catalog, but proved to be disappointing once I wrapped a paw around them. “Try before you buy” is definitely good advice, when you’re shopping for grips!
A 90% solution
RevolverGuy Dean Caputo came to the rescue with an extra set of the rubber Bantams, and I was glad to give them a spin. I’d “tried them on for size” in the booth at SHOT Show a while back, and walked away with a favorable impression of them. When I received them from Dean, I put them on my three-inch stainless K6s right away, and I liked how they felt.
At the range, the rubber Bantams offered excellent control of the gun, and the soft rubber also ate up a lot of the recoil, making it reasonable for me to shoot .357 Magnums in the gun–something that wasn’t pleasant with the OEM wood stocks. The “grippy” rubber stocks made it a little harder to draw from concealment at times, with my shirt getting snagged on the tacky surface (proving a big advantage of wood or hard plastic grips, which allow clothing to slide across them much easier), but with some extra attention to how I cleared my cover garments, it was easy to work around that.
Unfortunately, though, the speedloader relief on the Bantams wasn’t generous enough to allow me to use my HKS DS-size speedloaders without interference. That was something I’d definitely need to fix if these grips were going to have a permanent home on the gun. I couldn’t live with grips that were a roadblock to a smooth reload.
Dusting for prints
There wasn’t much contact area between the speedloader body and the rubber grip, but there was just enough to cause some nagging interference and gum up the works.
In an effort to identify the offending area, I worked the loader in and out of the cylinder, in the hopes that it would leave a mark on the rubber. That didn’t work so well, so I started looking for a better way to map out the area that I’d have to relieve.
I was going to use some chalk, but that was all the way out in the garage, and I was feeling lazy. While sitting there at the kitchen table, I realized a pinch of flour from a nearby shelf would allow me to dust the grip well enough that the loader body would leave a trace as I worked it in and out of the cylinder. I loaded the HKS with some long, 158 grain .357 Magnums (the longest cartridges I was likely to ever shoot in the gun), and worked the loader back and forth. It worked like a champ, and after it was clear where the contact area was, I marked it with a ballpoint pen to make it a little more durable.
The Bantams mount to the K6s in a unique fashion, without any screws or additional hardware to hold them in place. Instead, the cross-pin at the bottom of the K6s frame, which is used to locate and secure the grip panels of the OEM stocks, rides in a curved track inside the Bantam grip, and snaps into a recessed hole at the end of the track, to hold the unit in place.
The arrangement works well to hold the grips in place securely, but it’s a real pain in the neck to remove the grips for routine cleaning and service. Hogue provides a small plastic tool that you can wedge into the bottom of the grip to spread it apart just far enough to let you get the frame’s cross-pin out of the recess inside the grip, but it takes a lot of pulling, twisting, and bad words to get the grip off the frame.
I was able to do it without breaking the hard skeleton frame of the overmolded grip (a danger, if you try to spread the grip too far apart), but it wasn’t a lot of fun. I was glad I had marked the offending area with a pen before pulling the grips off, because the flour footprint wouldn’t have survived the removal effort.
At Dean’s recommendation, I threw the grips in the freezer for an hour to harden up the soft rubber for the grinding I was about to do on them. That turned out to be an excellent idea, and I’d highly recommend it for anyone who plans to do a similar operation.
Once I had a Hoguesicle, it was off to the workbench in the garage, to introduce the grips to the tool that has ruined so many guns in the wrong hands (and kept so many professional gunsmiths in business) . . . the dreaded Dremel!
I chose a smooth, bullet-shaped tip for the job and within a few minutes, I’d ground away the marked area on my grip, and smoothed out the edges, to form a nice transition. That freezing trick really made a difference here, allowing me to remove the material cleanly, without melting it from the friction.
There was a thin web of rubber left inside the angle of my cut that wouldn’t last long before it would tear, so I trimmed most of it off with a razor knife, relieving the entire area at a right angle. The material is still a little thin at the bottom edge of the relief, and there’s a small tear in it that I couldn’t avoid, but it’s small enough that it doesn’t draw attention and I don’t think it will be a problem.
Fit and finish
Knowing how difficult it was to remove the grips, I didn’t fancy the idea of doing a lot of testing and removing to fine tune the fitting, so I tried to eyeball things without mounting the grips to the frame. I made a few tweaks here and there, and smoothed out the edges so it would look good and feel comfortable when my right thumb found that area as part of my grip.
When I was satisfied that I’d removed enough material, I waxed up the stainless frame of the K6s with a little more automobile paste wax, to provide a protective layer that would prevent rust from forming underneath the rubber grips (a common malady with these, unfortunately–especially on the old Pachmayrs, with their steel frame). I knew I wasn’t likely to remove them frequently, so that seemed like an especially good idea. Because the wax hadn’t dried and hardened yet, it “lubricated” things and made slipping the grip onto the frame easy work, when I got to that step.
With a “pop,” the grip was locked into place, and I wiped away all the extra wax and rubber dust to give it a whirl with my HKS loader. The moment of truth had arrived . . . would I have to arm wrestle with the grip again, to get it off the frame and tweak it some more, or did I get it right the first time?
I needn’t have worried. I was really pleased to see that I could get the loader mated up to the cylinder without any interference now, even with the longer Magnum cartridges in the HKS.
In fact, if I lined the tips of the bullets up properly with the chambers, I could let go of the loader and it would freefall into place, via gravity. Now THAT was the kind of fit that I wanted for the round body loader! A little twist of the release knob, and the cartridges found their home right away, without any hesitation from being bound up by a loader body that was angled from its contact with a proud grip panel.
A trip to the range the next day verified the work. I was able to keep the little K6s topped off quite nicely with the HKS loaders, as I made my way through the defensive shooting drills a fellow instructor ran us through. It was just a small tweak to the grips, but it made a BIG difference in the performance.
I’d like to encourage all of you who might be living with “90% grips” to try your hand at fixing them, like I did. If you’ve got a finger groove that isn’t working for you, or a speedloader relief that isn’t good enough for the job, then get busy with your Dremel or some sandpaper wrapped around a dowel rod, and make them right!
Remember the freezer trick, if you’re working on rubber grips, because it works like a champ. If you have yours out on the workbench too long, you might even want to toss them back in for a while, to harden them up before you finish the work. Let me know, here in the comments, how it worked for you.
Be safe out there everyone, and a MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all!! I’ll see you again in 2022!

Like most of you, I anxiously await Mike’s posts. He writes better than me, knows more than I do, and despite being an officer (forgive me, John Basilone) is smarter than me. So naturally I look forward to seeing what comes out of his head and onto the screen. And, like most of you I really enjoyed his recent article on light training loads. But it got me thinking…
Hey, guys – sorry I got this out late today. I was at Greg’s outstanding Snubby Revolver class and apparently the WordPress scheduling function didn’t work for me. Stay tuned for a full review of the course!
Though we generally keep things pretty upbeat around here, there are any number of trials and tribulations associated with being a RevolverGuy. It ain’t easy being a round-gun shooter in a world that is optimized for the square-gun and its followers. It’s especially difficulty to those of us who try to carry wheelguns as a primary self-defense sidearm. I’m going to talk about a few of these problems today.
Bear with me – it’s might seem like I’m bashing revolvers. I like to add a touch of sanity every now and then, and I’d prefer people become RevolverGuys with eyes wide open.
Light Training Loads
As Mike mentioned last week, there is a world of difference between the “white box” loads most of us shoot at the range, and the hot stuff a lot of RevolverGuys thumb into their cylinders before heading home. This difference can be substantial, and the smaller revolver, the greater these graduations become. In the ultra-light guns, stepping up from a 148-grain to a mere “standard” .38 can be noticeable. The jump from standard .38s to .38 +P – and from anything at all to even mild .357 Magnums – can be amply felt in most revolvers that are appropriate for concealed carry.
I contend that this is mostly a revolver issue. As an example: as you guys will see shortly, I have fired over 5,000 rounds of 9mm through a single gun this year. The vast majority of that has been 124-grain ball. My carry load is a 124-grain +P JHP. Is there a difference in recoil? Yes, however… Even with the cheapest 124-grain ball I can find (usually Fiocchi and S&B) this difference is very small. If you loaded my gun and handed it to me, I’d have a hard time telling you what ammo you’d put in there just by firing it.
Now, I’m not saying there’s zero difference between mild and hot 9mm loads. I’m also not saying that 9mm is a universally “light shooter.” In some guns it can be downright punishing to shoot. What I am saying is that if you’re comfortable with 9mm ball, you’re probably going to be comfortable with any number of modern defensive hollowpoints.
Then there’s that pesky issue of sight regulation that Mike wrote about not too long ago. This most commonly rears its head with fixed-sight revolvers. Unfortunately, fixed-sighted revolvers are extremely common. As you guys know, I’ve had massive sight regulation issues in my 640 Pro Series. I’ve also had issues with some carry-sized guns that come from the factory regulated for 158-grain Magnum loads. Some of the readers here have mentioned that their guns are an inch – or two or three – off at single-digit yard lines. Not hitting where you’re aiming is a massive frustration and a potentially huge liability.
Anecdotally, this seems to be much less of an issue with semis. The reason(s)? I’m not sure, but I’ll take a stab. First, there’s the dual-caliber issue. Many of our “.38s” are .357s that we load with .38 Special. The Magnum loads are pushed at higher velocities, so naturally the sight regulation is different.
Perhaps there’s also institutional memory. Early .38 Special loads were of the slow, 158-grain persuasion. Are modern .38s still unwittingly manufactured around this bullet weight and its accompanying velocity, despite the fact that the most commonly carried bullets nowadays are in the 110 to 135-grain range? This could also have something to do with the mechanics of how a semi-auto recoils, but I’m not going to delve into that because…honestly, there’s not much I could offer.
Now, I’m not going to say that all semi-autos are dead-on out of the box. They aren’t. I’ve had to tinker with sights, but nowhere near the constant, ongoing struggle I’ve had with revolver sight regulation. With a semi-auto you can pick your ammo based on reliability, followed by bullet performance, and then verify that point-of-impact matches point-of-aim. With revolvers, it seems you have to try a bunch of ammo for POI/POA correlation. . . then pick your favorite load from a significantly narrowed field.
Since I’m riffing on Mike’s posts, I might as well stay at it and hit one more: last week’s article on wadcutters for carry. The basic premise of the article was that it might be a good idea, at least for some shooters, to eschew the advances in bullet development of the last five or six decades in favor of a friendlier shooter. I don’t disagree – in fact I readily agree – but therein lies the compromise.
Over in Semi-Auto-Land almost any bullet, in a duty caliber (9mm/.40/.45), from a reputable manufacturer (Cor-Bon, Federal, Hornady, Remington, Speer, Winchester) within a normal weight-for-caliber, will probably penetrate adequately, expand, retain its weight, do all of this without additional recoil†, and have a pretty enviable track record in actual shootings.
Mike also mentioned this in his article, but revolver ammo is expensive‡! I’ve written about this before, and it is a massive hidden cost of revolver ownership. The current going price for a case of 1,000 rounds of 9mm is around $170 (I’ve been buying them from SGAmmo.com). The going price – from the same site – for cheap .38 FMJ is $240/case – a $70 difference! And .357 Magnum? Forget about it! Believe it or not bulk.357 runs higher than the previously “exotic” 10mm and on par with the hipster .357 Sig.
These differentials assume bulk purchases; the retail markup makes this difference even more stark. Individuals who are most cost-sensitive are probably more prone to purchasing ammunition at retail cost, and this has some second- and third-order effects. Namely, that we practice less. When ammunition is more expensive, we – as a group – tend to use less of it. This impacts competence (though maybe not confidence) with a gun that requires more practice to master.
To be fair, there are also hidden costs with running a bottom feeder. Things like additional magazines can drive the cost up considerably. Averaged over a long term of ownership these costs end up being absorbed, but upfront they’re probably hit harder than a few boxes of ammo.
This is probably the one that bugs me more than any other. Depending on what revolver you buy, you may or may not be able to support it with your speedloader of choice. You might have to buy a speedloader made for another gun and be careful how you use it. Hell, there may not be a speedloader that works for it at all. Despite the recent proliferation of new reloading strip designs, similar energy hasn’t been expended making an awesome, inline, universal speedloader.
For that matter, there is the whole speedloader situation in general. The S.L. Variant is pretty much the undisputed king of the hill. However, I don’t think these have been available since well before I began this blog. Some manufacturers have introduced new speedloaders to the market, but they’ve all been a new takes on older, inferior designs. The JetLoader comes pretty close, but it only fits a limited range of guns, and has some problems of its own.
Ultimately, I guess that’s cool; statistics say we aren’t likely to reload in a fight. Even my perceptions of reloads are shifting in light of a lot of the research I’ve been doing into the various loading devices on the market. Still, something about having to accept a second-best solution because my revolver is a less-popular make/model rankles me. I absolutely love the ergonomics and accuracy of my Colt King Cobra. On the other hand, I loathe having to accept substitute speedloaders for it.
There’s also the issue of carry gear. Since we just talked about reloading devices, let’s talk about carrying them. If I want to carry one in the best way possible – i.e. in a place that is readily accessible, and reliably there enough to index under stress – I need a pouch. I like the Second Six/Split Six design but guess what?
It doesn’t work with the S.L. Variant, Jetloader, or Speed Beez. That’s right, your favorite speedloader might not work with your favorite pouch. And while we’re at it, your favorite pouch might not work with your choice of the three major reloading styles. Fortunately for me, I’ve kind of solved the pouch equation with the Jox Loader Pouch. Assuming, of course, I’m working with a gun for which a speedloader is available. The Jox won’t work for all of you, and some will be left casting about in search of some other carry methodology.
The same goes for holsters. You want to carry a 1911, Glock, or M&P9? The world is your oyster, man – you can get every holster under the sun with options for RMRs, lights, lasers, light/lasers, bayonets, pasta-making attachments, and anything else you’d like to attach to your gun. You want to carry a Kimber K6S or a Ruger Speed Six? Ha!
You can probably find a holster for just about anything out there, and you can have it any way you want it as long as it’s OWB. Unfortunately, OWB doesn’t work for me when I’m “off the farm.” I’m just too skinny to hide much of anything outside the belt. Finding an IWB for a gun that hasn’t made its way into the mainstream – like the Colt King Cobra – is a chore. Looking for a high-quality, Kydex, AIWB rig for the Colt King Cobra is a fool’s errand. Even holsters for the older (and if we’re being honest, probably more popular) Kimber K6S are hard to find in a whole lot of variety.
You thought we were almost through making compromises didn’t you? Not quite; now we come to guns, and picking one for carry. There are a lot more options now than there used to be, but there’s plenty of compromises to be made! I’m assuming we’re talking about a primary carry piece here – choosing and outfitting a BUG is easily doable. Without calling names and pointing fingers, let’s look at the options.
You could go with the big kid on the block, the big, blue one. They probably have the biggest selection and make the most revolvers. Unfortunately they’ve “fixed” some things that weren’t broke, and ignored some things that could probably use an update. Example of the former: the unsightly hole on the side of almost all of their revolvers (The one that isn’t there on their semis. Just sayin’.). Example of the latter: snubby revolvers with a coil-spring design that hasn’t changed in decades, causing them to have ridiculously heavy triggers. And by “hasn’t changed” I mean not by big blue. Other companies have figured it out.
Alternatively, you could go with the new kid on the block. It carries an extra round without being much bigger – or the same rounds and is quite a bit smaller – depending on where you’re coming from. That one has some problems, too. There’s that nagging problem of breaking firing pins that have yet to be redesigned, and we’re deep into “Few Holsters, Fewer Loaders” territory.
Then there’s the new, new kid on the block, and the one that is my personal struggle. I believe one of their revolvers is the perfect size. It shoots exceptionally well. No one else makes a six-shot gun in that size, and it carries well. I mean, it probably would carry well if I could find an AIWB holster for it. Oh, and a reloader that fit it well. And, to tell the truth, it hasn’t been on the market that long and is rumored to have an inherently fragile action, and I’ve already encountered one minor issue with it.
What’s a RevolverGuy to do?
At this point you may be asking, why bother with revolvers at all? There are some very good reasons.
Revolvers are perhaps the most appropriate choice for some users. For very low-skilled users, they are probably one of – if not THE – safest option. In the hands of very skilled users they can be highly effective. In this fifteen-minute YouTube video, Caleb Giddings describes the revolver’s “‘U’-shaped Utility Curve” far better than I ever could in writing. He describes why revolvers can be an excellent choice for beginners and for the very skilled. I’ve scratched the surface of this myself, but trust me – watch the video.
Revolvers also have some other very niche use-cases. Small revolvers are excellent in the “hideout” or deep concealment roles. They work magnificently as backup guns that may be subject to neglect. Revolvers are also popular in the backup role because – lacking a slide – they work well in very close contact.
Perhaps most importantly to me personally, there are millions of revolvers out there. Though it could happen, I don’t fancy myself doing a battlefield recovery anytime soon. However, as someone who aspires to be a well-rounded shooter, I’d be remiss if I didn’t learn the ubiquitous revolver. Being comfortable with wheel guns lets me help my less-skilled friends and handle revolvers safely. In fact, I think everyone who is serious about firearms should be proficient with revolvers.
The Bottom Line
Again, I know this probably rings to some of you as revolver bashing. But consider this: none of what I said is emotionally driven. It’s just purely logical. To be honest, most of it has almost nothing to do with the revolvers themselves, but with the lack of support for them (step it up, support industry!). There are a lot of frustrations inherent in being a dedicated, 100% RevolverGuy or RevolverGal. And to be honest, we make a lot of compromises.
And if you want to prove me wrong? Prove me wrong! You can find the elusive combination of revolver, holster, and support gear that works for you. Much more importantly, you can do the long, hard work of negating most of the problems you’ll encounter with skill. If you’re willing to dry practice, hit the range, dry practice, attend training, dry practice, read books, and dry practice some more, you’ll be good to go. Skill is the most important compliment to your revolver. Remember, the man who works with a stick will defeat the man who plays with a sword.

†In full fairness, this also speaks to one of the weaknesses of the autoloading pistol. Generally, semi-autos only function within a certain “power envelope,” relying on energy produced by the cartridge to cycle the action. This precludes the ability to step up or down the power scale as one likes. Unlike a revolver whose recoil can easily be tailored, shooter to shooter, one must factor a given amount of recoil into the arithmetic of choosing his or her semi-auto handgun.
‡Someone is probably going to mention that reloading one’s own ammunition could negate the cost differential (because, well, it has been mentioned before), so let me go ahead and address that. I could reload, and for some people that might be an appropriate answer. There really isn’t a great value proposition in reloading for me right now, though. Reloading is inexpensive when it comes to money, but costly when measured in time. Nothing is more precious to me than time, and I simply don’t have a surplus of it to spend reloading. It’s also not a great answer for extremely price-sensitive shooters for whom the upfront cost may not be achievable. Reloading probably won’t work for someone who doesn’t have the space to reload or reload safely (you don’t want lead all over your dining table), lives in a shared space, etc. There are a lot of reasons reloading IS a good solution, but it’s not one-size-fits-all.

Meigh-Andrews’ site-specific installations often incorporate renewable energy systems, establishing direct relationships with the natural and constructed environment. Interwoven Motion, a prototype self-powered outdoor video installation for Grizedale Forest was developed with a research award from the National Endowment of Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) and Arts Council England in 2004. His installation, The Monument Project (Si Monumentum Requiris, Circumspice), commissioned by architects Julian Harrap, produced a continuous stream of panoramic images from the top of the Monument in the City of London 24/7 for three years (2009-2011). Aeolian Processes (Box Revealing the Sound of its Own Making), was produced for “La Lune: Energy Producing Art”, New South Wales, Australia (2014); In Darwin’s Garden, an augmented reality installation, produced in association with the National Trust was featured in the Leonardo Electronic Almanac, and Kasa Gallery, Sabinsi University, Istanbul, (2012) and Oriel Sycarth, Wrexham (2017). In 2017 his two-channel outdoor installation For Issac, Alan & Steve was long-listed for the Aesthetica Art Prize.
Examples of his single screen video, installation and photographic work are held in a number of national and international collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Stadsarchief, Amsterdam, Muzeum Historii Fotografii, Krakow; The Harris Museum and Art Gallery, Preston; The Scottish Screen Archive at the National Library of Scotland; The British Artists’ Film & Video Collection and the Lux Collection, as well as in a number of private collections. Documentation of his early video and installation work and a substantial collection of his photographs, papers, notes and writings have been acquired by the archive at Tate Britain.
Meigh-Andrews studied at the London College of Printing (Higher Dip. in Photography Film & TV), Goldsmiths (MA, Fine art) and the Royal College of Art (PhD). He was Arts Council International Artist Fellow, Galeria Sztuki WspÛlczesnej, Krakow, Poland, (2003-2004); Video Artist in Residence, Prema Arts Centre, Gloucester (1995); Video Artist in Residence, Cleveland Arts (1995); Artist in Residence, Saw Contemporary Art Centre, Ottawa, Canada (1994); Resident Artist in Digital Imaging, School of Visual Arts, Music & Publishing, Oxford Brookes University, (1994), Cambridge School of Art, Anglia Ruskin University (2017-18) and Gozo Contemporary , Malta (2022).

During the 1980’s Meigh-Andrews taught at a number of art schools and institutions including The London College of Printing, The London International Film School, Maidstone School of Art and Leicester Polytechnic. However, his main teaching role was at the University of Central Lancashire (1984- 2012). Whilst working at Uclan he initiated and was head of Time-Based Media (1986-2000), co-founded the MA Fine Art course and established the Electronic & Digital Art Unit (EDAU), a centre for post-graduate research. He was made Reader in 2000, Professor in 2007 and Professor Emeritus on his retirement from teaching in 2012.
Meigh-Andrews has written extensively on the history and context of artists’ video. His book, A History of Video Art: The Development of Form and Function, Berg, (Oxford and New York, 2006) and in Japanese by Sangensha, (Tokyo, 2013), provides an overview of the development of artists’ video since its inception. An enlarged and expanded edition of the book was published by Bloomsbury, (London and New York, 2013) and in Mandarin by China Pictorial Publishing House, (Beijing, 2018). Contributions to other books include “Digital Moving Image Installations and Renewable Energy: 1994-2018”, Technology, Design and the Arts–Challenges and Opportunities, Springer Books, Cham, Switzerland, 2020; “The Emergence of Early Artists’ Video in Europe and the USA and its Relationship to Broadcast TV”, in Materializing Memories: Dispositifs, Generations, Amateurs, Bloomsbury, (London and New York, 2018); “Location & Dislocation, Site & Architecture: Video Installation by Palestinian Artists”, in Palestinian Video Art: Constellation of the Moving Image, Bashir Makhoul, ed, Palestinian Art Court-al Hoash, (Jerusalem, 2013.) “Optiks: Peter Campus”, in The BFI Gallery Book, British Film Institute, (London, 2011) and “Video Installation in Europe and the USA: The Expansion and Exploration of Electronic and Televisual Space: 1968-1988”, inExpanded Cinema: Film Art Performance, Tate Publications, (London, 2011.);“Interwoven Motion: Steps Towards a Semi-Permanent Outdoor Self-Powered Video Installation”, in The Itemisation of Creative Knowledge, FACT/ Liverpool University Press, (Liverpool, 2006); “The Vasulka Tapes” in Vasulka Lab 1969-2005-Live Archive, Vivid, Birmingham, 2006; “Chris Meigh-Andrews: Early Video Tapes: 1978-87” in Experimental Film and Video, Jackie Hatfield, ed.,John Libbey Publishing,(Hertfordshire, 2006).

I’ve heard people say that teaching the piano is a natural talent a person either has or doesn’t have. They often point to a parent or some other member of the teacher’s family who is also a good teacher as proof for their theory.
While it may seem this way on the surface, nothing could be further from the truth!
While you might have a lesser aptitude for teaching than someone else, you can make up for that difference by dedicating yourself to becoming a better teacher. Teaching is a craft that can be developed and honed.
Unfortunately, this also means that there are things we can do that compromise the instruction we give.
My hope is that this post will prevent you from making these mistakes before it’s too late. Here are 4 practices that will immediately sabotage your piano teaching.
1. Attempting to take your students to a level that you have never been able to reach.
In his book called The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, John Maxwell talks about what he calls the Law of the Lid. The Law of the Lid states that the leader’s lid, their maximum ability to lead, determines the potential of the people he or she leads.
In other words, if a leader is a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10, he will not be able to bring any of his followers higher than a 6. In essence, the leader becomes the lid.
This picture attained from an article written by Maria Symeonidou MSc for LinkedIn demonstrates this principle perfectly.
As piano teachers, we are leaders whether we call ourselves one or not. Leadership is simply influencing a person or group of people towards a better future. That better future for our students is one in which they can enjoy playing the piano skillfully.
While this law of leadership might cause some to be discouraged, there is good news that comes with it. With the help of someone who’s lid is higher than yours, you can grow in your teaching through reading, attending classes, performing, practice, and in so many other ways.
Over the past year or so, I’ve been working hard to get better at sightreading. With the help of a site called www.sightreadingfactory.com, I sit just about every day and play music I have never seen before. If you have never heard of it, I encourage you to check it out.
Another site that you can check out is www.tonedear.com. The site has all kinds of ear training exercises for teachers and for teachers to assign to their students. We live in a day and age where just about any type of teaching is available for teachers who want to better themselves.
2. Settling for students who exhibit mediocre practice habits and lack-luster playing.
I must admit. This is something I have struggled with the most. Why? To be honest, I think it’s because it’s logical to conclude that having high expectations leads to students wanting to quit because they aren’t able to meet them.
While this seems true, the opposite is actually the case.
This is known to social scientists as the Pygmalion Effect. The Pygmalion Effect is the phenomenon whereby higher expectations lead to an increase in performance. This effect was first demonstrated in a study done by Robert Rosenthal in 1963.
Wikipedia states that “All students in a single California elementary school were given a disguised IQ test at the beginning of the study. These scores were not disclosed to teachers.
Teachers were told that some of their students (about 20% of the school chosen at random) could be expected to be “intellectual bloomers” that year, doing better than expected in comparison to their classmates. The bloomers’ names were made known to the teachers.
At the end of the study, all students were again tested with the same IQ-test used at the beginning of the study. All six grades in both experimental and control groups showed a mean gain in IQ from before the test to after the test. However, First and Second Graders showed statistically significant gains favoring the experimental group of “intellectual bloomers”.
This led to the conclusion that teacher expectations, particularly for the youngest children, can influence student achievement. Rosenthal believed that even attitude or mood could positively affect the students when the teacher was made aware of the “bloomers”. The teacher may pay closer attention to and even treat the child differently in times of difficulty.”
In short, you get what you expect. Don’t sabotage your teaching by settling for mediocrity.
3. Expecting your students to get excited about learning the piano when you are not.
For those of you who are parents, you will know the saying that says, “Do as I say, not as I do.” For parents and for piano teachers alike, this may be the ultimate hypocrisy.
Are you excited about the music your students are playing? If not, it’s time for you to make a change.
You may need to explore and start using a different series of method books. I use the Alfred series and I like it enough that I don’t get distracted by anything I deem irrelevant.
It may be time to try a new medium. I recently switched from teaching lessons face to face to teaching students through Skype. This excites me for so many reasons. First, I am not in anyway limited by how far my students live from me. In fact, I have a couple students right now in Asia. One is in Thailand and the other is in Bangladesh.
And…I have to say it. It may be time for you to find a different career. Piano teaching can be difficult because many students want to study after school or work. Perhaps you need to find a 9 to 5 job.
You may be thinking that your students can’t really tell that you are going through the motions. The truth is that they do.
I am living proof of this. I had a piano teacher while I was in high school that was grumpy for much of the time she taught me. I made a decision to drop her for other reasons but found a different teacher and I began loving to play again.
4. Assuming that your students will be loyal to you because of your talent.
My first boss out of college used to say something that I still remember to this day. He’d say, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”
Think back for a minute to the teachers you had in school. Which ones do you remember? Do you remember any of them because of their caliber of teaching?
We naturally remember the teachers that were kind to us and let us have a little fun in the learning process. We also remember the ones who were stern and didn’t seem to have a caring bone in their body! Again, we don’t remember anything about their teaching abilities.
Showing kindness and care to our students has a much bigger impact than when we talk about our degrees or the places we have performed.
For the most part, students don’t switch teachers because he or she is incompetent. Instead, they leave because they don’t feel like a teacher cares about them.
Showing our students that we care about them goes a long way. In fact, I would say it often opens their mind to want to learn more! As the saying goes, once a person sees how much you care, they will be interested in what you know.
Changing Your Practices
Take a minute and think through your teaching practices. Are you doing any of these things? If so, you can change today. Your students will sure see the difference and you will become a better piano teacher overall.

The buyer trusts a realtor to find a home, trusts an appraiser to determine it’s value and trusts an inspector to disclose the deficiencies without any outside influence or bias.
Many buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals are impressed not only with my expertise, honesty, professionalism, and my incredible understanding of the entire home, but also my commitment to perform detailed inspections and give complete, unbiased reporting that fully informs my clients of the total and true condition of the home. They understand I work for the client. I also take great care in explaining the problems to the client so the information doesn’t overwhelm them. The last thing a buyer needs is to be scared away from a perfectly fine house because some inspector couldn’t convey the information in a professional manner. Many inspectors go through an inspection process, but it takes more than a classroom education to fully understand all of the systems of a home and how they work together.
I personally have seen more home maintenance problems and the good and bad remedies many homeowners and contractors have performed on these problems, than most home inspectors. In addition, I have personally repaired or assisted in the repair of these typical and unique problems for 30 years. This has allowed me to not only know the problems, but also to investigate, understand, and implement the solution to virtually every problem a home might have. You cannot learn this information in a construction course or inspection course. Many home inspectors are from the construction field. Many of them may have built new walls, hung and taped sheetrock, painted, installed lighting, laid tile, installed a tub surround or faucet, but how many have gone into 5 – 10 new and older homes per week for years to deal the repairs needed on these houses after years of use and years of repairs. You start to see what deteriorates or fails on any given house and gain an understanding of why those things deteriorate and fail.
Many sellers and most buyers are cautious or afraid to move ahead because they usually do not know enough about the house to feel confident. Do you blame them? This is a big decision. They have a right to be afraid. There are a lot of things to consider and understand. I can help with that. I take all the time necessary and fully explain the defects or problem areas, and when appropriate, I give suggestions on maintenance or repairs.
I know the people I have worked with over the years really appreciate the way I communicate with them. Some have commented, "I am amazed and thankful for the time you spent and for the way you explained things". I firmly believe that giving clear explanations of the defects is key to making my clients comfortable. You have to have a complete understanding of the workings of a house to find some of the problems that may be present in a home. You have to have the ability to convey that information to the client and to discuss the problem intelligently. Then, equally as important, you have to have an understanding of the solution and costs to correct the problem. Many times the potential homeowner is just given a list of defects, they get overwhelmed, and by the time they get home, they are all upset about the potential costs they have imagined. I have the ability to discuss with them, the problem, the severity, and the cost related to the repairs or replacement. Putting the client's interests first can actually make the whole experience of home buying more pleasant.

I must change tactics with my blog. Up until now, I download the day’s photos every evening and then write the blog. Last night was a case in point where, after wine with the Germans, I am too zonked to do the blog justice. So in future I will be sending out the blog the following day – midday.
I omitted to include this photo taken yesterday evening returning from Nsemane with a wild, setting sun trying to pierce the storm clouds.
We are at the gate at 5.15am but are still well back in the queue unlike the northern camps when we were often the only car out at 5.30am. During the night there was a sprinkle of rain and this morning Satara is wearing her best hat. As we leave the gate we look across these magnificent grasslands with pockets of mist in the hollows amongst the marula trees and the sky all pinks and purples beyond. It is indescribably beautiful.
We are heading for our old faithful, Sweni. Just beyond the Nwanetsi (H6) turnoff the road becomes strewn with ellie droppings – but the strange thing is that it lasts for kilometers. I suspect a large herd congregated on the road during the night and slowly strolled along it leaving behind their mark.
Turning on to the Sweni road (S126) we stop for our coffee waiting for the sun to rise at 5.50am. This lovely road is just wonderful this morning. Quails are calling continuously and the road is full of birdlife that is escaping the wet grass. Amongst them is…. A CORNCRAKE. I snatch up my camera but before I can photograph him this very shy bird has disappeared into the grassy verge. Bitterly disappointed we continue.
Sweni veld is a sheet of meter long, thickly packed grass. The is reminiscent of our bumper 2017 February. However then, the roads were full of quails, francolins and guineafowl all with broods of chicks. We wonder if the late rains will mean that the chicks will now appear in March – or not at all.
Soon a hyena comes running along the road towards us carrying a very fresh impala (?) head in his jaws.
He is often looking backwards and is soon being followed by another carrying a leg in its mouth. Both are gazing towards the trees along the river to the left. We guess that a leopard lost its meal out of a tree or the hyena robbed it as it killed.
It is very difficult to convey to you the splendour of this bushveld road. Having suffered mopane for three weeks we are just enthralled by the scene before us. We agree that we could drive up and down this road seeing nothing and still be uplifted.
Breakfast at the Welverdiend water point and then retrace our steps home. Along the way we pass a large tusker – always an impressive sight.
The weather forecast tell us that the rainy period is over with a succession of 39 degree days towards the end of the week. To support this, today is incredibly the first day that we have had a north wind – in 37 days.
This evening we go around to Girivani Dam which is now brimming with water. We see a number of quail and other things of interest. Another lovely day.

RIE® Parent-Infant Guidance™ Classes:
Classes are organized by stage of development – back infants, locomoting babies and toddlers. Classes are on-going. Families are welcome to join anytime there is space available. Limiting each class to 8 children creates a peaceful, relaxing venue to ask and answer questions. Each class includes sensitive observation of babies, uninterrupted play time then questions and discussion.
RIE encourages basic trust in the child to be an initiator, an explorer and a self-learner. RIE provides an environment for the child that is physically safe, cognitively challenging and emotionally nurturing. Your child will have time for uninterrupted play and you, as the adult, will develop the art of sensitive observation in order to understand his or her needs better. You will read babies cues, learn when to intervene and, most importantly, when not to.
“Becoming a RIE parent has had a profound impact on our lives due to the philosophy and approach toward infants and children, as well as the generous and invaluable guidance of Lisa Chariff Better.” –Read more parent testimonials here.
Classes are held in Miami Beach, FL
*All in-person classes are suspended due to COVID-19*

LOCATION: Thrive Ballpark - 1415 Park Avenue West
CATEGORY: Art Events
PAST DATE AND TIME:
- Fri, Aug 13, 2021 - Fri, Sep 3, 2021
We are excited to announce our fifth installment at ARTAOS Community at Thrive Ballpark. Nicola Stefano is an up-and-coming Autistic Denver Artist, highly functioning on the Savant skills spectrum. He strives to “stick out from the crowd, and uses his art as his way of communicating with the world.” The majority of Nicola's pieces have subjects with eyes but no other features. “That is because not only does my style of art involve seeing with our sight, but because there is far more than meets the eye,” says Nicola.
Please join us for the show opening on Friday August 13, 2021 5-9pm.
ARTAOS Gallery's mission is to work within the community and build lasting relationships with artists and local groups to promote and elevate those that may be underrepresented within Colorado and the greater Denver area.
ARTAOS has partnered with Thrive Ball park to curate art in a 25,000 sq ft co working space with high traffic in RiNo Art District.
We are striving to become Denver’s largest community art gallery. We will be working with local artists within the community to bring a new, fresh concept to art buying and to support the Denver area Arts Community.
Press / interviews / inquiries, call 720-481-7425 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.org

Stockholm, NJ, September 15, 2017 — For the first time, a Kickstarter project has launched its own campaign. On September 12 the Vorpal Combat Hexapod—an open source, 3D printed, wireless walking robot—used one of its six robotic legs to press the “LAUNCH” button on the popular crowdfunding website, triggering its own campaign to go live to Kickstarter’s millions of backers.
“We gave the honor to the oldest surviving prototype hexapod,” remarked Steve Pendergrast, founder of Vorpal Robotics, LLC, the developer of the product. “Its name is Scrum. Every Vorpal Combat Hexapod has an individual name.”
Although somewhat spidery looking as they scamper across a tabletop or floor, the hexapods sport whimsical eyes and other decorations, making them look more like cartoon characters than arachnids.
Up to sixty different motions can be triggered by the hexapod’s custom Bluetooth gamepad, which is also 3D printed. Because of this versatility, the hexapod can be used to play games using appendages attached to its accessory port. These appendages are—you guessed it!—also 3D printed. Joust, Capture-the-Flag, Fidget Spinner Challenge, and other games are already available, with more in the pipeline.
“This is a great platform for fun activities that promote STEM education,” continued Pendergrast. “Schools with 3D printers can fabricate the plastic parts themselves and then buy low-cost kits with the electronics and motors from our Kickstarter campaign. They can even motivate students to design their own 3D printed attachments.”
The company also provides complete kits that include all 3D printed parts, and even fully assembled hexapods for those who just want to play games and program.
The Vorpal system also supports the MIT Scratch drag-and-drop programming language. Many schools already use Scratch to introduce programming to students, so this builds on a system many teachers already know. Students can even create new leg motions using Scratch and upload them to gamepad buttons for use during games and activities.
“Scrum the hexapod launched this project on Kickstarter,” Pendergrast remarked, “but it will be his descendants who will go out into the world to teach kids about science, technology, engineering and math.”

The Giraff telepresence robot allows you to visit family or acquaintances from your home by computer. You can move freely through the house simply by moving the mouse and communicating with the residents via video conferencing.
The Giraff is used in the Giraffplus project, which is funded by the European Central Union. GiraffPlus is a total system of home automation, E-health and robotics. It allows activities in the home to be monitored using a network of sensors and body functions to be measured. The sensors can, for example, measure blood pressure or detect someone falling.
The Swedish company works with healthcare organisations and research groups across Europe. In the Netherlands, the robot is used for 40 households within the VictoryaHome project.

At the River I Stand reconstructs the two eventful months that transformed a local labor dispute into a national conflagration, and disentangles the complex historical forces that came together with the inevitability of tragedy at the death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This 58-minute documentary brings into sharp relief issues that have only become more urgent in the intervening years: the connection between economic and civil rights, the debate over violent vs. nonviolent change, and the demand for full inclusion of African Americans in American life.
In the 1960s, Memphis’ 1,300 sanitation workers formed the lowest caste of a deeply racist society, earning so little they qualified for welfare. In the film, retired workers recall their fear about taking on the entire white power structure when they struck for higher wages and union recognition.
But local civil rights leaders and the Black community soon realized the strike was part of the struggle for economic justice for all African Americans.

Relative Carbon Dioixde Emissions in the US and Europe
A colleague asked me if I could gin up a graph showing relative carbon dioxide emissions for the US and Europe since 1990, with 1990 set to 1.0. Here is that quickly-made graph; the data comes from the US EIA. In case you are curious, the European countries with relatively lower emissions in 2009 than the US (off of the 1990 baseline) are Germany, the UK, Denmark and Sweden. The picture looks different with a 2000 baseline.

I left my Docker API Port unsecured for about 5 Days. Yeah thats kinda dumb, but I didn’t expect much to happen.
Some days ago I opened up portainer and saw 307 stopped containers. That already shocked me and then I saw a running container named monreo-miner and a lot of stopped ones. So basically someone mined cryptocurrency on my raspberry 😂
And as it could not be worse the host system itself has also been accessed. Directly in the root were bash scripts. They created users called richard and frank, which had sudo (visudo) rights to do everything. Also the attackers turned on PasswordAuthentication and PermitRootLogin and added additional ssh ports.
Lesson learned: Never leave a port (especially docker) unsecured, even if it is for a short time.

The President rolled out his latest deficit reduction outline yesterday. As expected, it included several tax recommendations. In sum, the President is calling for an additional $1.5 trillion in tax collections over the next decade, including:
- Expire Bush Tax Cuts on High Income Earners ($800 billion)
- Cap Itemized Deductions & Exemptions at 28 percent ($400 billion)
- Various Loophole Closers ($300 billion)
There are a number of challenges with the list. First, allowing tax provisions already set to expire to, well, expire, doesn’t raise any revenue. It’s already in current law. That $800 billion in savings doesn’t exist.
Second, the President already proposed to use the cap on itemized deductions to offset his jobs proposal released earlier this month. That package would have increased the deficit and the cap on itemized deductions was to have offset most of that cost. No man can serve two masters, and no tax provision can be both deficit reduction and a pay-for at the same time. Like the higher taxes on high-income earners, this $400 billion in savings doesn’t exist.
So the tax savings from the President’s proposal are less than claimed.
What about the “loophole” closers? Here’s the list from the OMB summary of the plan:
- LIFO repeal ($52 billion)
- Repeal Lower Cost of Market ($8 billion)
- Coal Related Provisions ($2.4 billion)
- Insurance Provisions ($12 billion)
- International Tax Changes ($114 billion)
While the term “loophole” is certainly loaded and should not apply to many of these provisions — LIFO accounting rules, for example, are neither a loophole nor a tax expenditure — the larger challenge is that some of these are the very base-broadening measures that Ways and Means Chairman Camp says he needs to offset lower rates in tax reform.
If these provisions are used for deficit reduction instead, how is Congress supposed to lower rates? Where will the offsets come from? This is the reason Congressman Camp and others have been resisting the idea of doing tax reform within the context of a deficit reduction package.
Corporate Tax Reform
For the past half year, Washington has waited for the Obama Administration to release its so-called “White Paper” on corporate tax reform. The paper’s existence was publicly discussed and reported, as were the broad provisions it was said to contain — budget neutral, corporate only, territorial, eliminate certain tax expenditures, etc.
With the release of the President’s deficit reduction plan today, the waiting is over. We can all go home now, there’s nothing to see. Instead of a plan, the White House released a set of five “principles” the President would like Congress to follow as it grapples with the code. These are:
1) Lower tax rates;
2) Cut wasteful loopholes and tax breaks;
3) Reduce the deficit by $1.5 trillion;
4) Boost job creation and growth; and
5) Comport with the “Buffett Rule” that people making more than $1 million a year should not pay a smaller share of their income in taxes than middle-class families pay.
Number 5 is the easiest — the tax code already does that (see below). And we’re all for cutting rates and boosting job creation.
So in the spirit of articulating principles, we have three of our own that might be helpful.
- First, any reform of the tax code needs to address both the individual and the corporate side of the code. Most American jobs are created by employers who pay the individual rates, not the corporate rates, so Congress needs to focus on both.
- Next, Congress should seek to keep the top income tax rates paid by individuals and corporations at the same level. Splitting business income and taxing it at two significantly different rates would undermine tax administration and encourage business owners to plan around the higher rate. Keep it simple, keep it low, and keep it the same.
- And finally, Congress should seek to tax business income once, and only once. The study authored by Bob Carroll last spring made clear that the double tax on corporate earnings results in less investment and lower employment in the United States. To make American business more competitive, Congress should move business taxation towards the S corporation model, not away from it.
Those are our principles, and were working with other business groups in town to make certain tax writers in Congress understand them. By embracing these broad concepts, Congress can move the taxation of business income in a direction that helps ensure employers want to invest and create jobs in this country, not someplace else.
Warren Buffett is Wrong
The President continues to tie his efforts to raise taxes to Warren Buffett’s contention that he pays less tax than his secretary. As Buffett wrote in the New York Times earlier this year:
Last year my federal tax bill - the income tax I paid, as well as payroll taxes paid by me and on my behalf - was $6,938,744. That sounds like a lot of money. But what I paid was only 17.4 percent of my taxable income – and that’s actually a lower percentage than was paid by any of the other 20 people in our office. Their tax burdens ranged from 33 percent to 41 percent and averaged 36 percent.
Buffett has been making this argument for years, but he has finally found a receptive ear with the Obama Administration. As the President stated yesterday:
So I am ready, I am eager, to work with Democrats and Republicans to reform the tax code to make it simpler, make it fairer, and make America more competitive. But any reform plan will have to raise revenue to help close our deficit. That has to be part of the formula. And any reform should follow another simple principle: Middle-class families shouldn’t pay higher taxes than millionaires and billionaires. That’s pretty straightforward. It’s hard to argue against that. Warren Buffett’s secretary shouldn’t pay a higher tax rate than Warren Buffett. There is no justification for it.
Here’s the problem. Warren Buffett is wrong. While only he and his secretary know their exact tax burden, we do know the numbers he presents above are incorrect and shouldn’t be used as the basis for tax policy moving forward.
How did he get it wrong? Two errors. First, he overestimates his secretary’s tax burden by using the wrong denominator. Second, he underestimates his own tax burden by ignoring the corporate taxes his company pays.
Let’s take the first. Buffett claims that his employee’s effective tax burden, including the federal income and payroll taxes, ranges from 33 to 41 percent. That’s really high.
Measuring income and payroll taxes (including the employer share) against gross income, it’s simply impossible to get an effective rate that high — and that’s for a couple with no children and no deductions where both spouses earn right at the Social Security earnings limit.
So how does Buffett get to 41 percent? Apparently he uses taxable income rather than gross income. But no credible tax policy group would use taxable income to measure somebody’s tax burden. It excludes too much income to be useful. By contrast, when the CBO calculates effective rates, it uses an expanded definition of income that includes all wages and salary plus transfer payments and in-kind benefits.
Next, Buffett under counts his tax burden by ignoring the taxes paid by Berkshire Hathaway. He claims $7 million in payments, but last year Berkshire Hathaway paid $5.6 billion in corporate taxes on $19 billion in income, an effective tax rate of 30 percent. Here’s the CBO on the types of tax they include in their calculations:
CBO estimates effective tax rates for the four largest sources of federal revenues’ individual income taxes, social insurance (payroll) taxes, corporate income taxes, and excise taxes, as well as the total effective rate for the four taxes combined. Those taxes account for over 95 percent of total federal revenues. The analysis does not include federal estate and gift taxes, customs duties, and other miscellaneous receipts. Nor does it include state and local taxes.
Buffett still owns a large share of Berkshire Hathaway, so his real tax burden likely is in the billions, not millions, and his effective rate is 30 percent, not 17 percent.
The reality, as measured by the CBO, is that our tax code is remarkably progressive, with the top one percent paying an effective rate of 30 percent while the five quintiles of income earners pay, from highest to lowest, 25, 17, 14, 11, and 4 percent respectively. (As noted, these percentages do not include state and local taxes.)
So there you have it. The President is calling for tax code that ensures the rich pay more? We already have that tax code. So perhaps Congress can now focus on the cutting rates and encouraging job creation.

The True Kindred of Jesus
Reflection on the Gospel of the Tuesday
Of The Sixteenth Week In Ordinary Time
Indeed those who do and seek to do the will of God, are his Family. Reflect on this…
God has revealed himself fully to humanity, in and through His Son – Jesus of Nazareth – the Messiah. Do we need, or are in wanting of any further details and understanding to accept this?
To be his family, means we stand with Him are inspired by Him and look to live according to His words.
To live according to God’s words is not easy and definitely failure is bound to be there, yet we are called to come before Him, because we are His family and not to hide from Him, just like in a family.
And God promises His Presence and guidance in our walk of life….

Shane & Kyrene are Meant to Bee
When Shane proposed to Kyrene earlier this year, the very next day Kyrene asked me to design their invitations and I was thrilled for the opportunity! These two are so genuine, so generous, and truly meant 2 bee! They embrace everyone with the biggest hugs they can muster and have a love for one another that is contagious!
Kyrene’s father is a beekeeper, but Kyrene was nervous to incorporate bees as it may be cheesy, but I promised it wouldn’t be! With the theme of a little bit of bees and rustic elegance, we went to work. Starting with their save the date and then incporporating the little love bees across the invitation set.
They had received an invitation kit to use so I had a blank canvas to work with. The paper was embossed so each page was individually cut out to accommodate a flood of color! I created a pattern for the background to resemble honeycomb but used a more curved shape pattern.
After printing, each one was then tied with a tea-stained piece sheeting material to enhance the rustic feel and then backed with a solid chocolate brown card stock. Hope you like them! I just love them! It’s my first, I hope of many, wedding invitations!

When a couple wants their engagement photos at the beach, it’s an automatic yes from me. Old Silver Beach in Falmouth is one of my favorites for sunset and we had the best engagement session this night! As if Jilli and Jamie weren’t the cutest humans EVER, I’m lucky enough to live literally 2 streets down from them, so you can bet you’ll be seeing more of their faces up on my feed. If you’re just as obsessed with them as I am, you can follow along their LGBTQ+ friendly travels and adventures on their Instagram!
Hope you enjoyed this beach engagement session in Falmouth! The Cape is one of my favorite places for engagement sessions, and sunrise or sunset there’s tons of places that make a great location to snap your photos at. Check out this other Cape Cod engagement session in Provincetown!

On April 17, 2019, the Trump Administration announced several decisions that mark a significant shift in US policy toward Cuba, most notably by declaring that the United States will no longer suspend Title III of the LIBERTAD Act of 1996, which is also known as the Helms-Burton Act.
Title III of the Helms-Burton Act authorizes US nationals (including Cubans who have since become US nationals) who formerly owned commercial property expropriated by the Cuban Government after the country’s 1959 communist revolution to file suit in US courts against persons (including non-US companies) that may be “trafficking” in that property. For purposes of Title III, a person “traffics” in confiscated property if that person knowingly and intentionally, without the authorization of any US national who holds a claim to the property:
- Sells, transfers, distributes, dispenses, brokers, manages, or otherwise disposes of confiscated property, or purchases, leases, receives, possesses, obtains control of, manages, uses, or otherwise acquires or holds an interest in confiscated property;
- Engages in a commercial activity using or otherwise benefiting from confiscated property; or
- Causes, directs, participates in, profits from or otherwise engages in, trafficking by or through another person.
While the definition of “trafficking” is very broad, it does not include the delivery of international telecommunication services to Cuba, transactions incident to lawful travel to Cuba, or transactions by a person who is a citizen and resident of Cuba and who is not an official of the Cuban Government or the ruling political party in Cuba. Title III does not generally authorize suits regarding real property used for residential purposes. The aim of Title III is effectively to prevent investment in Cuba by threatening investors with potential lawsuits for trafficking in confiscated property.
The universe of potential Title III lawsuits is expansive. It includes potential lawsuits made in connection with the almost 6,000 confiscated property claims that were “certified” by the Department of Justice’s Foreign Claims Settlement Commission (the “FCSC”) under its now-closed Cuba program, which the State Department estimates have a total value of approximately $8 billion with interest. Certification of a claim by the FCSC constitutes conclusive proof of ownership in Title III litigation. The universe of potential Title III lawsuits also includes those made in connection with “uncertified” property claims, which are those held by US nationals but not certified by the FCSC. The State Department estimated in 1996 that there may be between 75,000 and 200,000 such uncertified claims and today estimates that the value of those claims could be in the tens of billions of dollars.
Since its passage in 1996, every US Administration has permitted a Title III cause of action to accrue but has suspended the right to file a lawsuit under Title III for successive six-month periods until February 1, 2019, when the Trump Administration suspended the right to file a Title III lawsuit for only 45 days. On March 4, 2019, Secretary of State Pompeo announced an extension of the suspension to April 17, 2019 that would not, however, apply to Cuban entities and sub-entities included on the Department of State’s List of Restricted Entities and Sub-entities Associated with Cuba (the “Cuba Restricted List,” available here) after March 29, 2019. Please see our prior blog post on this development here.
Finally, on April 17, 2019, the Trump Administration announced that effective May 2, 2019, it would no longer suspend the right to file a lawsuit under Title III. In addition, the Administration also announced:
- the continued implementation of Title IV of the Helms-Burton Act, which has never been suspended and which provides that entry into the United States will be denied to non-US persons who have trafficked in confiscated property to which US nationals own claims;
- the addition of five entities owned by the Cuban military to the Cuba Restricted List, which was subsequently updated on April 24, 2019 to include the following:
- Hotel Santa Isabel
- Hotel El Caney Varadero
- Meliá Marina Varadero Apartamentos
- Diving Center – Marina Gaviota;
- a cap on remittances to Cuba;
- the prohibition of dollar transactions involving Cuba through third-party financial institutions; and
- restrictions on non-family travel to Cuba.
With the exception of the additions to the Cuba Restricted List, the details of these changes have not yet been clarified or implemented.
The EU Blocking Regulation and Helms-Burton
Due to concerns around the extra-territoriality of the Helms-Burton provisions, the European Union brought into force in 1996 Regulation 2271/96 (the “Blocking Regulation”) shortly after the Helms-Burton Act was passed. At a high level, the Blocking Regulation prohibits direct and indirect compliance with certain extra-territorial laws specified in the Annex of the Regulation. This Annex includes Title III.
The penalties for violations under the Blocking Regulation vary among different EU Member States. For example, in the UK, compliance with blocked US sanctions, including the Helms-Burton Act, is a criminal offence and can result in an unlimited fine on indictment. In a number of EU Member States, only administrative penalties can be imposed. Overall, across all EU Member States, there has been very limited enforcement of any breaches of the Blocking Regulation. We are not aware of any conviction for breaches of the Blocking Regulation. It is also worth noting that contractual clauses which seek to comply with the blocked US sanctions (and hence violate the Blocking Regulation) would most likely be considered to be unenforceable.
In addition to targeting US sanctions against Cuba, the Blocking Regulation also seeks to neutralize the effect of certain sanctions against Iran. Please see our prior blog entries on the operation of the Blocking Regulation in this context here and here.
The Canadian Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act and Helms-Burton
On October 9, 1992, Canada issued the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures (United States) Order, 1992 (the “Order”) under the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (“FEMA”). The Order makes it an offence for Canadian corporations to comply with the US laws against Cuba. A “Canadian corporation” is defined as a corporation that is registered or incorporated under the laws of Canada or of a province and that carries on business in whole or in part in Canada.
After the passage of the Helms-Burton Act, Canada made further amendments to FEMA that took effect on January 1, 1997. Those amendments, as they would apply to actions commenced under Title III, allow the Attorney-General of Canada to:
- issue “blocking” orders declaring that judgements handed down under Title III would not be enforced or recognized in Canada;
- issue orders restricting or prohibiting the production of records or the giving of information in Canada in relation to the enforcement of Title III actions in the United States; and
- allow Canadians to recover in Canadian courts any amounts awarded under Title III rulings, along with their own court costs in Canada and in the United States. This measure is known as “clawback”.
The implementation of Title III could have significant implications for certain Canadian companies. For example, Canadian companies who are found by a U.S. federal district court to be “trafficking” in “confiscated property” may be subject to significant damage awards. While the enforceability of such awards against assets located in Canada is questionable, given the FEMA and the Order, assets of Canadian corporations located in the United States are at risk. As a result of the heightened scrutiny around Cuba, Canadian companies should be closely reviewing any activities related to Cuba and their potential exposure to Title III claims in the United States. Similarly, any urge simply to “comply with US law” must be tempered by the Order, which Canadian corporations must abide by.
Evaluating Risks and Options
Companies that operate in or with Cuba may be at risk under Title III if their activities utilize
confiscated property, whether directly or indirectly. Such companies should consider:
- Analyzing which parts of their Cuba-related business may touch on confiscated property and
assessing whether those contacts are direct or indirect;
- Reviewing the terms under which they engage in Cuba-related business to determine options to
terminate such business on short notice, potential financial consequences of such termination, and
the possible application of blocking statutes in certain jurisdictions;
- Assessing the possibility of using “claw-back” provisions if they are based in a jurisdiction that
has instituted blocking statutes against the Helms-Burton Act; and
- Instituting additional protective measures for ongoing or future Cuba-related activities, such as obtaining representations and warranties and remedies for breach, from partners, suppliers, vendors and other counterparties in Cuban transactions, confirming the absence of — or requiring the disclosure of — confiscated property that may be implicated.

The story of Kjeldsens began in 1933 in a small Danish village in Jutland. The founder, Marinus Kjeldsen, fell in love with Anna, a baker’s daughter who was known for her delicious cookies.
Kjeldsen began selling these cookies to neighbouring villages, where the wonderful buttery treats soon caught on and spread throughout the country, leading to the opening of their first commercial bakery.
Over the years, Kjeldsens has developed into one of the world’s largest cookie producers offering a wide variety of cookies, flavours and packaging to serve many different gifting and consumption occasions.
In 2009, Kjeldsens Butter Cookies was appointed as purveyor to the Royal Danish Court by the Queen of Denmark, Margrethe II. Each tin, therefore, proudly displays the words, “By Appointment To The Royal Danish Court” with a golden crown in its logo, symbolising the brand’s authenticity, quality, and status.
The Original Recipe for Danish Butter Cookies
Cookies are one of the most popular foods in the world. In Denmark, cookies symbolises health, prosperity, and success.

In this episode, we're going to talk about why you need to stop focusing on kicking jurors off, and instead begin focusing on what jurors you want on.
Episode 7 Transcription
When you're up against a hostile room of people who don't want to be there, you need real strategies that get results. Welcome to From Hostage to Hero, the show that gives you practical advice you can use right now in the court room, boardroom, or classroom. Learn how to move your unwilling audience to one that is invested in what you're saying, eager to participate and engaged in the process. Learn from the Attorney Whisperer herself, your host, Sari de la Motte
Sari de la Motte:
Well, hello trial attorneys. Thanks for tuning in, and today we're going to talk about why you need to stop focusing on kicking jurors off, and instead begin focusing on what jurors you want on. In the last several podcasts, we've gone over the five Ps and the how you reverse the threat from SCARF, SCARF being the model that David Rock talks about in his book, Your Brain at Work. He was not speaking of juror specifically or jury selection. It's when I went and looked at that model and thought, "Oh my goodness, this applies across the board to jurors."
The SCARF model says, as a quick review, that there are five sociological factors that when threatened, the brain perceives that as an attack. So status, you know, if we threaten someone status like we do in jury selection by asking them questions, forcing them to speak in front of a group, so on and so forth, the brain sees that as an attack.
Certainty, if we don't give certainty, and of course in jury selection and there's little to no certainty, jurors don't know why they're there or what they're supposed to do. That is a brain attack. Autonomy, we limit juror's autonomy by saying they must stay and participate.
Relatedness, which is all about knowing the people that we are in whatever situation we're in with. We don't have that in jury selection either. And fairness, because of all of those things, this seems absolutely unfair.
So we've been looking at those five factors and how to reverse the attack that they create in the brain in the last several podcasts. And so today with that understanding that jurors are hostages, that's of course … The whole point of this podcast is helping you understand this idea that jurors are … Jurors are podcasts … that jurors are hostages, and that your job as an attorney is to lead them from hostage to hero.
What I now want to really get clear about is the idea of what jury selection is for because when I ask attorneys, "What is jury selection for?" nearly every single attorney will say to me, "It's to find the bad jurors and kick them off." And my answer to that is … wrong. That is not the reason for a jury selection. And if that's why you think we are having jury selection, you are wrong.
First of all, let's point out that the jurors certainly don't want to be part of a process where they are interrogated and picked apart just for you to discard them. I mean think about that for a minute. That is actually what you are saying … not to them, of course. You to them are saying, "Oh, please trust me," and, "I want you to be a part of this process." But what you're really communicating non-verbally and through your true belief, if this is what you think jury selection is about, is, "Who here is bad for me, and how do I get rid of you?"
And I'm here to say that you've got to change how you view jury selection if you want a different result. Most attorneys absolutely dread voir dire, and I can see why. There are a variety of reasons for that. One reason is it's this conversation that you have to have, and yet you don't know what these people are going to be saying, so there's no way to really prepare for this conversation. Not to mention that this is a hostile audience, and you have a specific agenda that you need to cover, and so on and so on and so forth. It is just a difficult thing to do. But in terms of what it is that we're actually trying to do, I think it's going to serve you better. In fact, I know it's going to serve you better to stop thinking about this as an opportunity to find out where your bad jurors are, and instead start focusing on where your good jurors are.
Now, before you turn off the podcast and think, "I've lost my mind. It's the bad jurors that lose cases," may I please remind you that, that is true. Bad jurors do assist, of course, in losing cases. But can I also remind you who wins cases? Good jurors win cases, and you have to be on the lookout for them. You have to know where they are. Listen, if you don't know where those jurors are, then there is no way to call them forth, which is what your job is.
I mean, think about it this way in terms of a job. Let's say that I need to hire someone in my office. I put an ad out there on Craigslist or wherever else. And as the applications come in, what do I do? Well, if I'm going to treat this like you guys treat jury selection, what I'm gonna do is I'm going to go through all of those applications, but instead of looking for who's a good fit for me, I'm going to look for, you know, the misspelled resumes, the typos, the people who don't have the right, relevant experience, and I'm going to freak out about who those people are and make sure I don't hire them. How much sense does that make? I ask you.
Now, by the way, I am not suggesting that you hire those people. I wouldn't hire those people, but it's pretty damn clear who those people are right off the bat. If I look at that resume and I know what I'm looking for … Ding, ding, ding, that's what we're gonna be talking about today … then I know that they are not the right person to hire. Because you might be thinking, "Well, that's the problem, Sari. They don't come with these typos and misspellings. They're kind of hidden out there." Well, they won't be hidden if you know what to look for.
The reason for all of this, the reason that I'm talking about this and hitting this so hard is that we create, meaning you. You create what you focus on. If you only are looking for bad jurors, then those are the people that are going to show up. But, if in fact you start looking for the good jurors, that is what is going to show up as well. We have to get super clear about what it is that we're doing. Listen, what you ask jurors to do is hard. You're going to ask them to go back and do this job without you. You do the preparation throughout trial. Yes, you're going to give them the information and they're … Boy, is ever going to be a lot of information. But when the rubber hits the road, they are going to have to do this without you, which means that you have to find really good people that know how to work together and hold their own and argue for you.
I mean, isn't that what we're asking them to do? We're asking them to fight for you behind closed doors without your help. I mean, right now the way that you guys have jury selection positioned is, "Who here is out to get me? Let's kill them off, and then I'll just deal with whoever's left." That is no way to build a stellar team, a team that has to do some of the most important work of all that you've been doing. All of your work that you've been doing for sometimes a years in these cases comes down and is resting in the hands of this group of people, and you're not spending any time crafting who they are and how to identify them, and then how to grow them throughout trial so that they do go do the work. They take that heroic action that we're hoping that they take.
No. Instead, you're viewing them as the enemy and getting rid of them. And as I said, making do with whoever is left. Dudes and Dudettes, this is not the good way to approach jury selection. We want to focus on who we want on, not who we want to kick off. Now, when we start to get clear about who it is that we want on our jury, that will also help us get super clear about who we don't want on our jury. That's the nice benefit of this system that I'm teaching you and I'm going to be talking about today. Not In super depth of course, because we don't have time, but I'm gonna give you some pointers today to get started at least.
There are three things that you can do to start changing your focus from bad jurors to good jurors and still get an excellent jury that will take that action for you and your client behind closed doors. The first step is to change your mind. You have to come into jury selection with the mindset of, "I'm looking for who wants on, not who wants off." Again, that doesn't mean you're going to ignore the people that don't want to be there, that going to ignore your bad jurors, but your mindset is, "I'm looking for who wants on. Who here is going to help me win this thing?" That's the first thing is you've got to change your mind.
The second thing you got to do is design for the ideal juror. Look, a lot of, well, anything really comes down to design. It's all about how we've designed, whether that's designing your day or designing a building. The same is true here. Your design has to be for what you want your result. So if you want ideal jurors to show up, you need to design for them.
Now what do I mean by that? Well, when I asked my attorney clients, "Who is good for us?" they just look at me blankly because they don't know. They basically just think it's the opposite of whoever's bad for us. And that's just not a really great way to approach this. So when I helped my attorney clients create what I call the ideal juror profile, what I have them do is ask themselves a basic set of questions, really one question. First I say, "What are your fears in the case? What are the issues in this case that we need to overcome in order to get a verdict for your client?" And so that may be a variety of things, very specific things to the case. It may be other things that are probably true in every case such as can't give money, hate lawyers, whatever the case may be.
Once we have that list, then I asked my attorneys. I say, "Okay. Take one of your fears, whatever it may be. And now ask yourself this very important question. What would an ideal juror have to think or believe for this no longer to be a fear? What belief, in other words, would negate or nullify this fear on my list?" And let me just say right now, this is hard. This is hard for most attorneys to do because what I'm asking you to do is make your brain flip. What I'm asking you to do is think the opposite of how you're trained to think, which is, "Which juror will kill me." I'm asking you to think about, "What juror would be good for me?" Not even what juror would be good for me but, "What belief would a juror have to have for this no longer to be a fear?"
So think about the things in your case. So for example, let's say a UIM case, so this comes up quite a bit. So under insured motorist coverage, and they're refusing to pay. And one of the issues in the case is that they're saying, because of course they always say things like this, "Well, we didn't pay because we didn't get all the information." And so we have that on our fears list, right? Because they're gonna bring it up at trial, "Hey, we would've paid, but we didn't get all the information in the time that we asked for it," or, "We just didn't get the information." And so one of the ideal juror beliefs in that case might be, "Well it's the insurance company's job to make sure they have all the information, not the other way around." Meaning it's on them to ask, and continue to ask, and to continue to be clear about what they need and when, not on the insured to kind of figure out what it is the insurance company needs. And then when they don't provide it, then the insurance company can use that as a reason for not paying.
Now, that doesn't mean that the jurors on our panel will believe that. What that is is part of the belief system that our ideal juror, we hope has. That they believe things like that. There might be some things in your case that are pretty case specific, and you may not be able to come up with something right away. For example, you might have a case where … Like we had one where one of the things we hoped an ideal juror would believe is that a particular doctor should have sent the patient to a Mohs surgeon, a surgeon that also is trained as a pathologist, because that's the safer option. And so the attorney said to me, "Well, how can I put on my ideal juror profile, “They should have sent them to the Mohs surgeon?” Most jurors would know that."
And so I asked the attorney. I said, "Well, what's the principle beneath the belief?" So, of course that's to case specific to even have a hope that jurors would believe that. But what principle could we hope they believe? What's the principle beneath that? And the principal beneath that is doctors should always choose the safest option. "Ah, we could put that on our ideal juror belief." So when you start going through all of your fears, you start coming up with all of these beliefs that an ideal juror would believe, so it's the exact opposite of your fear. Meaning if this flew out of your ideal juror's mouth, you'd think, "Holy hell, that is a great juror for me. That's exactly what I want them to think."
And by the way, don't get worried about, you know, poisoning the jury pool or that they're going to be kicked off. I really don't believe you should be focused on trying to hide where your good jurors are. I just don't think the serves you. I don't think it does you any good. Just take my word for it. Maybe I'll do a podcast on this in deeper measure later. It's not a good use of your time. It's much more useful to find out where your ideal jurors are.
So as you go through this list of fears, you start to come up with this ideal juror profile. When I do this with clients, we'll have 15, 30, 45 statements. And as we look over this list of all these things that an ideal juror would have to believe, you better believe at the end of this … And sometimes this takes days if not weeks to really curate this list because again, it's asking your brain to do something different than what's used to doing … You better believe that we now have a very clear idea of what kind of juror we are looking for. And you know what else? We also know who are dangerous jurors are because our dangerous jurors are the jurors that don't believe these things.
It really is a double-edge sword, which is so nice about it. Because now that you have this list, you can go to that list and you can start creating questions. You can start thinking, "What would I need to ask to find out if jurors believe this?" And now your jurors start to easily show up as either ideal or not ideal. In other words, it's so easy. You can take this list, by the way, and give it to a paralegal or someone else who is evaluating voir dire, because you if you are doing voir dire should not be the person evaluating, and literally make a check mark next to each juror ideal belief as you're asking the questions, and it becomes super clear who's for you or who's willing to be for you, and who is not ideal. I mean that's really the third piece is that once you know who you want on, then you can kick off who you don't want on, which is what you think you were there to do in the first place, but it becomes this nice side benefit.
So focusing on who you want and getting really clear about who that person is and what kind of beliefs they hold. By the way, this is the only kind of 'demographic' quote-unquote that I would use. I think we really get in trouble when we start thinking, "Women age 40 to 50 would be blah, blah, blah." I mean that can be helpful on occasion, but I think knowing what jurors believe, or what we at least hope they believe, is much more helpful to you because now you can actually start designing questions around the principles in your case to find out whether jurors believed these things or not. And that's how you can switch your focus from who you want off to who you want on because this allows you to still kick off who you don't want, but at the same time it helps you get really clear about who your team members are, what they look like and how you can identify them.
I tell you before we go into anything else in these podcasts, it's important that we get clear about what it is that we're there to do. We're there to build a team. Yes, we don't want team members or people on that team that are not going to assist us but using this method, this just little bit that I showed you today, can help you figure out both: who your team members are and who is not, clearly, a team member. Change your focus and you will get what you focus on.I'm telling you, this works. This works. This works. I see it over and over again. Plus, it makes voir dire much easier and more fun for you because you're communicating from a place non-verbally of, "I'm looking for my team. Where are you?" And that gets communicated, and it just makes the whole thing much less hostile and much less tense.
Now, if you want to get deeper into this method of voir dire that I've just taught you, you can go to our website at SariDLM.com, and you can click on trial consulting. We're going to be changing the website soon. So if you're listening this podcast and you can't find it, just click on anywhere there that says, "I'm a trial lawyer," or, "Trial consulting," anything there. You'll find it.
And we have our strategy session package, so you can do a variety of things there. You can schedule a strategy session with me. You have access to my calendar immediately by going to that link.

Labour Migration As a Social Right
The first section of the paper briefly sets out the two strands of mainstream comparative welfare state research that claims that welfare states are closed systems for which economic migration is a threat. There is the nation-building strand, on the one hand, which sees welfare states as based on a logic of closure because redistribution requires solidarity (Ferrera, Hall) and democratic legitimation (Scharpf) that comes with political union. There is the regime typology strand that stresses the extent to which welfare states come in well-defined institutional configurations of which only the liberal-residual regime copes with openness according to type, namely by providing low welfare standards.
The second section outlines the comparative case study of the European Union and the United States. The U.S. is a political union and part of the liberal world of welfare capitalism that should thus have no problems with inter-state migration. I compare the regulation of labour migration with respect to social welfare entitlements, such as minimum residence requirements and coverage of a migrant worker’s family. For the U.S., this concerns mainly domestic migration between states.
The third section provides evidence that welfare states have a long history of coping with economic openness and turning migration into their advantage. European legislation to implement the norms of free movement and non-discrimination is part of an evolution towards selective openness, rather than a revolutionary force: it regularizes and generalizes what member states have granted each other in bilateral agreements. Federal intervention in the U.S., primarily by the Supreme Court, played a similar role of ensuring non-discrimination of labour migrants. That such central regulation was necessary proves that there is contestation over the conditions of access to domestic labour markets, but it does not prove that welfare states follow a logic of closure.
The final section sums up the political economy of inter-state risk sharing that can explain why the selective openness of welfare states varies with the organisation of benefit systems.

[Updated Income Thresholds] The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recommends that all adults file a tax return. Obviously, the IRS wants to have everyone pay their taxes but it is also an important way for the government to ensure that it pays out subsidies, stimulus payments and tax credits to the groups that they were intended for.
However filing a tax return does take time and can cost you money. Further if you are not expecting to earn an income domestically (e.g living/working overseas) or receive a refund then you may meet the tax filing exclusion criteria. But before you think of not filing a federal tax return for a given tax year, make sure you can answer NO to the following IRS guidelines by answer
- Did you have Federal taxes withheld from your pension and wages for this tax year and wish to get a refund back? If so then you need to file a tax return.
- For the latest tax year the IRS has provided income guidelines to determine if you should file. These are shown in the table below. If you earned taxable gross income above these levels then you need to file a tax return
Single Filers Married Filing Jointly or Qualified Widower Head of Household Married Filing Separately $12,550
($14,250 if 65 or older)
$25,100 (both spouses under 65)
$26,450 (if one spouse > 65yrs)
$27,800 (both spouses > 65yrs)
($20,500 if 65 or older)
$5 (any age)
- Are you entitled to the Earned Income Tax Credit or did you receive Advance Earned Income Credit for this tax year? To get this credit, you need to file a federal return.
- Were you self-employed with earnings of more than $400.00?
- Did you sell your home? Alternatively if you bought a home, you may be eligible for the extended home buyer credit.
- Will you owe any special tax on a qualified retirement plan (like an IRA) or medical savings account (MSA or HSA)? You may owe tax if you:
- Received an early distribution from a qualified plan
- Made excess contributions to your IRA or Health/Medical savings plan
- Were born before July 1, 1939, and you did not take the minimum required distribution from your qualified retirement plan.
- Received a distribution in the excess of $160,000 from a qualified retirement plan.
- Will you owe social security and Medicare tax on tips you did not report to your employer?
- Will you owe uncollected social security and Medicare or Railroad retirement (RRTA) tax on tips you reported to your employer?
- Will you be subject to Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)? (The tax law gives special treatment to some kinds of income and allows special deductions and credit for some kinds of expenses.)
- Are you a church employee with income in wages of $108.28 or more from a church or qualified church-controlled organization that is exempt from employer social security or Medicare taxes?
The questions and tables above will help you determine if you need to file a Federal Income Tax return or if you need to stop your withholding so you will not have to file an unnecessary return in the future. If you answered yes to one or more of the above questions, then you should file a tax return.
Consider using the following top rated tax software to help you with filing.

Esports Entertainment Group (EEG) has announced significant changes to its company, as its CEO has departed and it is exploring the possible sale of its igaming assets.
Beginning with EEG’s executive movements, Grant Johnson has left his position as Chairman and CEO of the company, effective December 3.
The Board of Directors has already identified several candidates as Johnson’s potential CEO successor and the evaluation process has begun.
The EEG board has also specified an interim/acting CEO and will name the individual in the coming days, pending formal approval by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Meanwhile, Jan Jones Blackhurst will replace Johnson as the company’s new Chair of the Board of Directors. She is also a board member at Caesars Entertainment and a former mayor of Las Vegas.
“Grant recognized the value of esports and online gambling and founded EEG on that basis. On behalf of the board, we wish him well,” commented Jones Blackhurst.
“The company is looking forward to bringing in new leadership to work with Board to realize the full potential of our acquired esports businesses.”
EEG considering igaming assets sale
Regarding EEG’s igaming business, the company reflected on its progress to reduce costs in the vertical over recent months. They are also taking into consideration strategic options for assets that do not contribute to profits and cash flow. Last month, the company ceased operations of Vie.GG in New Jersey, the UK, and Spain.
One of the options is exploring the possibility of selling its igaming assets “due to increasing regulatory burdens and competition”. EEG added that one of the first tasks of its new CEO will be to assess the value and future of its igaming assets.
In other areas of its igaming business, EEG noted that it is expected to close the sale of its online casino business in Spain on December 12, with the proceeds being used “primarily to pay down the principal on the Senior Convertible Note”.
The company has also closed its Argyll iGaming operations in the UK and Ireland due to high costs and being unable to generate profits.
EEG is still pushing to remain publicly listed on Nasdaq, while also finding ways to maximize its esports assets and restructure its debt.

Erin Mims Houston woman poisoned by napkin left on car door handle outside Prospect Park car park. Restaurant guests says others notifying her saying of seeing tissues placed in other car door handles.
A Texas woman has sought to warn others following a recent episode which left her hospitalised after claiming someone left a poisonous tissue stuffed in her door handle outside of a popular Houston restaurant.
‘I felt like I couldn’t breathe. My chest started hurting, I was getting hot flashes, my heart was racing, just a whole bunch of stuff. I told my husband that I didn’t feel well,’ Erin Mims told KPRC.
It happened on Mims birthday as she was leaving a celebratory brunch at the Willowbrook location of the Prospect Park diner.
‘I took it out with my nails and threw it and got in the car. I asked him (my husband) about it and he said he didn’t put a napkin in there,’ Mims said.
Mims went back inside the restaurant to wash her hands before proceeding to feel some strange symptoms.
‘My fingertips started tingling. In my mind I’m thinking I’m just overreacting,’ Mims said.
The husband and wife headed to hospital where doctors ran tests and flushed out Mims system. A doctor told her she suffered acute poisoning but because there wasn’t much of the the toxin in her system, the substance wasn’t identifiable.
Mims said others have reached out on social media to say they were also targeted and that others had seen napkins lodged in other door handles outside the car park.
Prospect Park Lounge has declined to comment on the Monday episode.
The Houston Police Department have stated of being aware of the incident and in the process of investigating the episode as a possible assault. Cops asking anyone with any information to contact their office. To date no other individual has stepped forward to say they were poisoned outside the restaurant car park.

Is Bariatric Procedure Type Associated With Morbidity in Transplant Patients?
INTRODUCTION: Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) has been associated with increased weight loss but more complications when compared with sleeve gastrectomy (SG). However, a direct comparison between RYGB and SG has never been performed in patients with a history of solid organ transplantation. The aim of this study was to determine the association between procedure type and surgical outcomes.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with a history of solid organ transplantation were identified in the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation Quality Improvement Project Participant Use File database from 2017 to 2018. Procedure type (SG versus RYGB) was used to stratify patients. Propensity score matching and multivariable logistic regressions were used, and outcomes were compared.
RESULTS: Of 678 cases identified, 80% (n = 542) underwent an SG and 20% (n = 136) had an RYGB. Patients differed significantly (P < 0.05) by multiple demographic variables. Multivariable regression revealed RYGB to be associated with higher overall morbidity (odds ratio [OR] 1.98; P = 0.012), morbidity related to surgery (OR 2.47; P = 0.002), unplanned readmissions (OR 2.48; P = 0.002), and readmissions related to surgery (OR 2.32; P = 0.016). After propensity score matching, RYGB, compared with SG, was also associated with higher morbidity (14% versus 7.4%; P = 0.077) and readmissions (13% versus 6.6%; P = 0.099) related to surgery, although this did not reach statistical significance.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with a history of solid organ transplant, RYGB was associated with increased morbidity and readmissions compared with SG.

The work in my laboratory analyzes the impact that addictive drugs, such as prescription opioid painkillers and alcohol, have on synaptic plasticity in two different brain regions. We study the dorsal striatum, a brain region involved in the control of our actions, as well as the insular cortex, a brain region involved in self-awareness.
The Atwood laboratory has 3 primary interests:
- We study how alcohol and opioids affect the connections between brain cells leading to changes that will change the way animals behave. We use brain slice electrophysiology, optogenetics, viral vectors, and biochemical measurements in this work.
- We study brain circuits that control behavioral responses to alcohol and opioids. We use mutant mice, in vivo optogenetics, and in vivo imaging in this work.
- We study how prenatal opioid exposure produces long-lasting changes in brain function and animal behavior. We use a multidisciplinary approach of biochemical, physiological, anatomical, and behavioral measures to determine how this prenatal opioid exposure predisposes offspring for future neurobehavioral problems with the hopes of identifying clinical interventions.

Rank-based estimation methods provide alternatives to least squares. Estimators derived via least squares are generally not robust to aberrant observations.Rank-based methods for linear models generalize traditional Wilcoxon procedures in the simple location models and are robust.
In the usual linear model it is assumed that the errors are independent. In the case of repeated measures data several observations are taken on each experimental unit. In the case of longitudinal data the measures are taken on the same subject over time. As such an independence assumption does not seem valid. A common solution to this is to make an assumption on the form of the errors. The form we consider is that the within subject errors are exchangeable.
We first develop a transformation approach to these models. In doing so, we also obtain a robust estimate of the compound symmetry variance covariance structure. Next we develop the asymptotic theory for these rank-based estimates via a linearity result. This theory also gives us another, nontransformation, approach to these problems.
Examples discussed include one-way, two-way, and analysis of covariance problems. The focus however is on a profile analysis of the two-way repeated measures problem. We also examine the small sample properties via simulation studies.

Over the centuries, one small town in Germany has disappeared and never been resettled. Tom, a historian, and his theoretical physicist girlfriend Sharon, become interested. By all logic, the town should have survived. What's so special about Eifelheim?
Father Dietrich is the village priest of Eifelheim, in the year 1348, when the Black Death is gathering strength but is still not nearby. Dietrich is an educated man, and to his astonishment becomes the first contact person between humanity and an alien race from a distant star, when their ship crashes in the nearby forest. It is a time of wonders, in the shadow of the plague. Flynn gives us the full richness and strangeness of medieval life, as well as some terrific aliens.
Tom and Sharon, and Father Deitrich have a strange destiny of tragedy and triumph in Eifelheim, the brilliant science fiction novel by Michael Flynn.

Positive Behavior Intervention Support- PBIS
Why is it so important to focus on teaching positive social behaviors?
In the past, school-wide discipline has focused mainly on reacting to specific student misbehavior by implementing punishment-based strategies including reprimands, loss of privileges, office referrals, suspensions, and expulsions. Research has shown that the implementation of punishment, especially when it is used inconsistently and in the absence of other positive strategies, is ineffective. Introducing, modeling, and reinforcing positive social behavior is an important part of a student’s educational experience. Teaching behavioral expectations and rewarding students for following them is a much more positive approach than waiting for misbehavior to occur before responding. The purpose of school-wide PBS is to establish a climate in which appropriate behavior is the norm.
What does PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention Support) do?
All effective school-wide systems have seven major components in common:
- a) an agreed upon and common approach to discipline
- b) a positive statement of purpose
- c) a small number of positively stated expectations for all students and staff
- d) procedures for teaching these expectations to students
- e) a continuum of procedures for encouraging displays and maintenance of these expectations
- f) a continuum of procedures for discouraging displays of rule-violating behavior
- g) procedures for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the discipline system on a regular and frequent basis.
To support PBIS, White City has implemented school-wide expectations.
Always safe, and
White City students are to follow our school-wide expectations (R.O.A.R.) at any location, in class, the cafeteria, hallways, playground, and even on the school bus.

A team of mathematicians and physicists have discovered how ice formations are shaped by external forces, such as water temperature. Its recently published research may offer another means of measuring factors that cause ice to melt. Physicists sculpted ice into distinct shapes by controlling the temperature of surrounding the water.
Experiments reveal that the shape of submerged, melting ice depends on temperature, suggesting that natural ice structures can provide clues about water temperatures.
According to this new study, the Ice cylinders submerged in water form one of three distinct structures as they melt, depending on the temperature of the surrounding water. Researchers found that the temperature-dependent buoyancy of meltwater determines the shape. As our warming world suffers a progressive loss of natural ice, an understanding of the effects of temperature on ice shapes may help researchers infer environmental conditions from observations of ice structures. As icebergs and glaciers shed meltwater, the icy structures they leave behind may encode information on its environment, hinting at their surrounding temperatures that are in turn dictated by the rising influences of a warming world.

Global trade and the many supply chains that support it are continually subject to shifts in economic conditions, geopolitical regimes, and politics. Recently, two major trends have emerged that have the potential to disrupt supply chains and global economic growth: economic slowdown of emerging markets and renewed threat to globalization.
A number of emerging markets have experienced a rapid deterioration in their economic performance over the last few years. China is still maintaining relatively strong growth— real GDP (gross domestic product) growth was 6.9 percent in 2015, and 2016 it is projected to be 6.7 percent before slowing further to a 6.4 percent rate for 2017. China is in the midst of a slow transformation from a global production powerhouse to a more middle-class-dominated, service-oriented economy. Evidence of this transition is the partial displacement of China’s mining, heavy manufacturing, and utilities by services and light manufacturing.
“Two major trends have emerged that have the potential to disrupt supply chains and global economic growth: economic slowdown of emerging markets and renewed threat to
Brazil and Russia are starting to inch out of their recessions. Russia is closely tied to the ups and downs of oil markets and has also been impacted by Western sanctions. Some relief is on the way for oil and commodity producing countries since commodity prices have for the most part reached bottom and are starting to rise, albeit gradually. Brazil’s real GDP growth for 2015 was negative 3.8 percent and is likely to clock in a negative 3.6 percent rate for 2016, before finally entering positive growth in 2017. Brazil slipped into recession in the first half of 2014 due to declining investment, the end of the commodity super cycle, and a slowdown in private sector consumption.
India’s overall growth has stood up over the past few years and has been stronger than China’s – however, India’s annual GDP per capita is about $1,500, compared to $54,000 in the U.S. and $6,800 in China. India, therefore, is likely to experience what we call the “per capita problem,” in which any slowdown in an emerging market economy with low income or low GDP per capita feels like a recession. Unless a country has a sufficient level of per capita income before growth rates begin slowing to levels approaching those of developed economies, declining growth will hinder the standard of living and rattle even a confident consumer. This is especially true if coupled with relatively strong population growth, which makes it even more difficult for the struggling economy to absorb the new entrants into the labor market. There are significant political and socioeconomic issues and tensions that arise as the ascending “middle” class gets comfortable with a certain standard of living and expectations. The street demonstrations in Brazil and Turkey in the first half of 2013 are two prime examples.
The restraints on emerging market economic growth looking ahead include excess capacity after a strong investment boom, slowdown in world trade, low commodity prices, capital flight, downward pressure on local currencies and debt accumulation. However, several turnaround conditions are in the works, including recovery in commodity and equity markets, rising domestic demand and market and fiscal reforms implemented to improve efficiency.
“Globalization has become the scapegoat for many of the problems in advanced economies, including job losses, poor wage growth and increasing income inequality.”
Globalization Under Threat
Globalization has become the scapegoat for many of the problems in advanced economies, including job losses, poor wage growth and increasing income inequality. Brexit and the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election are two major events that point to further weakening of support for globalization in the advanced economies.
The support for globalization is often in sync with the performance of the economy. During the Great Depression, the United States imposed various tariffs only to be matched by tariffs from other countries. All of this had the impact of making a bad situation even worse. Trade agreements such as NAFTA (North American Free-Trade Agreement) faced critical opposition – for example, 1992 presidential candidate Ross Perot’s famous quip that if NAFTA was enacted “there will be a giant sucking sound going south.” During the late 1990s and early 2000s, there were massive anti-globalization demonstrations at World Trade Organization, International Monetary Fund, and World Bank meetings. More recently, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump voiced opposition to the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Deep resentment about the number of immigrants coming into the United Kingdom was a powerful driving force behind the vote to leave the European Union. Similarly, both the U.S. Democratic and Republican parties (and especially their presidential candidates) have turned their backs on free trade and immigration.
Brexit and political uncertainty in Europe have clouded Europe’s economic outlook. Italy’s Prime Minister Matteo Renzi resigned in early December over a referendum outcome concerning parliamentary restructuring. The result of the U.S. election has emboldened right-wing populist parties in Europe. There are elections scheduled for 2017 in the Netherlands (March), France (April/May), and Germany (September).
“The global economic impacts of the incoming U.S. presidential administration depend on whether ‘protectionist populism’ or ‘pro-growth populism’ is the dominant theme.”
The impacts of technology and globalization are often intertwined. Both destroy some jobs and create many more. Unfortunately, the costs tend to be disproportionately borne by workers with lower levels of education. The beneficiaries include high-skilled workers and consumers (via lower prices). The pain is concentrated and visible, while the benefits are widespread. Politically motivated attempts to help those hurt by globalization, via higher tariffs or other forms of protectionism, will raise prices and hurt all consumers, especially poor and middle-class families—not to mention damaging the competitiveness of companies that import raw materials and components from other countries. Nevertheless, a lot more needs to be done to assist workers hurt by globalization and technology in order to diminish the anxiety and anger of those suffering economically.
The global economic impacts of the incoming U.S. presidential administration depend on whether “protectionist populism” or “pro-growth populism” is the dominant theme. Even more so than Brexit, the election of Donald Trump as the next president of the United States has the potential of upsetting the established global supply chains and networks. If protectionist policies are pursued, growth in global trade and real GDP will likely be slower. If pragmatic, pro-growth policies are pursued, then overall economic growth will be higher — an outcome that will benefit most economies around the world.

The Wood Clan challenges the misconception that clans and families are limited to specific regions. Originating in the Victorian era, they have surpassed geographical boundaries. Their name, derived from Old English, signifies a dweller near a wood and a fierce warrior. Prominent families in the UK proudly bear a crest depicting a Savage wielding a club, symbolizing their spirit. The Norman French influence is evident in derivations like de Vosco or de Bosco, meaning "of wood" in modern French. Notable figures from this lineage include Sir Robert de Bosco and his daughter Alice de Bosco. Admiral Sir Andrew Wood of Largo left a lasting legacy in Scottish history, known for his victories against pirates and English fleets. Their descendants played a significant role in the economic and armed expansion of the British Empire. The lineage's chief position has been held by Timothy Fawcett Wood of Largo since 1916. Wood of Largo actively upholds the noble traditions of the clan as a member of the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs.

Video by Matthew Rojas
My first week as the photographer for the Dallas Stars was one of the craziest weeks in my professional career. In the span of 5 days, I became a new photographer.
This starts many weeks before the shoots with creative meetings. We were trying to figure out the new direction for the Dallas Stars for both the calendar which they hadn’t released the last couple of seasons because of lack of sales, and the media day photoshoot which they use for everything from billboards to programs to the commercial breaks during the broadcast of the games.
My creative direction for the calendar was easy. I knew exactly who the key demographic of this young and, according to my fiancee, “hot” team was. I had to make this team look sexy. The obvious answer there is something GQ. Let’s put these players in suits and the calendars will sell themselves. On top of that I had always wanted to do a Behind the Scenes of a movie set look. I pitched this idea to the Dallas Stars Foundation and they loved it immediately.
Over the next couple of weeks I built a set and gathered props to create the look for the calendar. In retrospect I wish I had hired a set designer because of the amount of time I put into building this set. Me being the hard headed control freak I am, I wanted full control of how this was going to look and I didn’t want any outside input.
Sunday is day one of two for the calendar shoot for the Stars. For the calendar, each month would be either an individual or duo from the team and then the cover was to be a shot of the crowd favorites. The only problem with that was that these players were split up over the two days. I think no problem, I’ll just set up a monopod and lock it down so we can composite each player together into the one image.
This wouldn’t have been a problem, but the next day we were shooting the calendar was three days later on Wednesday. Somewhere in that time, someone came into the studio and moved parts of the set. I don’t work out of a typical studio. I share a studio space with 60 other creatives in Dallas called WELD. I love this place, it is amazing. But this is where communal studio space becomes a problem!
Anyway, day one was a HUGE success and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything had gone. We had to wrap the shoot by 4pm because my crew and I had to be on a plane to Chicago for a two day photo shoot with Topgolf. We got into Chicago by midnight and into the hotel room by 1am, got a few hours of sleep and shot long, full days. That’s another story for another blog post though.
We flew back Wednesday morning at 6am to get back to the studio at 10am and started shooting the remainder of the calendar at 11am. THANK GOD we had everything set up and ready to go, because when we got back to the studio I think we all took a quick 30 minute power nap.
The second day of the calendar shoot went by without a hitch (other than the moved set). I chose to not let it bother me and just suck it up and accept the fact that I would have a little bit more post ahead of me. We wrapped around 4pm and immediately had to break everything down and get it loaded up into the van for the media day shoot the next morning – at 5am. Ouch!
My crew and I got up to the Dallas Stars training facility at 5am to start setting up. By this point, we had everything nailed down from multiple test shoots at the facility. I had everything mapped out, powers dialed in and we knocked out the set up in about an hour. The fun thing about media day is that I get roughly 5 minutes with each player in which I have to get 4-5 different looks.
I had three stations set up in which I would get at least two separate looks at each station by getting the player to face different directions and toggling lights on and off to give it a new look. The last station was the “action” station in which I would have the player skate at full speed and do a few different variations of shooting, stopping and skating.
INSERT HUGE PROBLEM. With all of the tests I had done, I had never had a problem with my lens fogging over. And wouldn’t you know it, the first player skates up to have his picture taken and my lens is completely fogged over. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! DEAR GOD WHY!? Growing up in Texas, I have never had much experience with my lenses fogging over due to cold weather, so the first thing I do is stick the camera in my jacket to warm it up. This fixes it momentarily, but keeps fogging up every couple of minutes.
It ended up working out and I got images that myself and the Dallas Stars were both proud of. I know I wouldn’t have been able to knock out these shoots without the help and support of my amazing crew that week, and of course my fiancee who kept me from breaking out into tears on multiple occasions.

California is a step closer to expanding its Medicaid program to include health coverage for some undocumented immigrants.
The move is part of the state's budget, which state Legislature Democrats approved over the weekend.
In that proposal, undocumented adults between 19 and 25 who meet income requirements would be eligible for California's Medicaid program. The state estimates it would include roughly 90,000 people in the first year and cost $98 million.
If passed, it would make California the first U.S. state to let undocumented adults sign up for that kind of health coverage.
Another provision in the budget proposes helping certain middle-class families pay for their monthly health insurance premiums. The state plans on paying for that at least in part by bringing back a tax on people who don't buy health insurance.
The budget covers the new fiscal year beginning July 1. State lawmakers have until June 15 to pass the budget, and it would take effect Jan. 1, 2020.

Security staff on Eurostar are to go on strike in the run up to Christmas.
The four day walk-out on 16, 18, 22 and 23 December in a dispute over pay.
More than 100 security officers, ,embers of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT), are likely to take part in the industrial action. staff on the Eurostar are to strike for four days in the run-up to Christmas.
The workers are contracted out to a private company.
The union says the workers earn as little as £10.66 per hour and have already rejected a below inflation pay offer.
More than 80% voted for stike action.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “Eurostar security staff are essential to the running of Eurostar, and it is disgraceful they are not being paid a decent wage.
“They work long unsocial hours and a multimillion-pound company like Mitie can easily afford to pay them decently for the essential work they do.
“We do not want to disrupt people’s travel plans, but our members need a pay rise, and this is the only way management will listen.”

Security Journal UK hears from three of the leading vendors exhibiting at Intersec 2022.
With the eyes of the global security industry now firmly fixed on Intersec 2022, Security Journal UK caught up with three of the biggest exhibitors at January’s show to find out what visitors can expect to see from them and why Intersec plays such a crucial role in the security calendar.
Unified rather than integrated
For some time now, there has been talk of the increased need for integration within security. Disparate systems such as video surveillance, access control and intruder detection should be working together to provide increased convenience for the user. However, at Intersec 2022, Genetec will be promoting an alternative way of doing things; Unification.
Firas Jadalla, Regional Director for META at Genetec explains more: “This year, we’re concentrating on raising awareness about the strategic advantages of a comprehensive physical security solution. A unified physical security platform is made up of a suite of products built as a single unit, whereas an integrated physical security platform is made up of links. It means you can turn various systems on and off, but you can’t break connections because none exist.
“If one connection fails within an integrated physical security platform, it can affect all of the others. The more connections you have when connecting systems, the more expensive and complicated updates and maintenance become. A unified solution is designed from the ground up to aggregate all of the data you collect, allowing you to set security policies, monitor occurrences and conduct investigations with ease.”
Some of the solutions that will be showcased by Genetec include Mission Control, a decision management system that helps the user understand unfolding events and quickly identify the best course of action. It simplifies the response coordination between stakeholders, speeding up incident resolution.
Also on show will be Security Center Restricted Security Area (RSA) Surveillance which brings together different detection and tracking devices under a single visualisation pane. Moving targets are automatically tracked on geographical maps and intuitively displayed so that security personnel can assess and respond to threats in less time.
Jadalla details how Intersec provides Genetec with an opportunity to learn about the latest trends in the market as well as demonstrate its cutting-edge solutions: “Genetec is pleased to be exhibiting at Intersec 2022, where we will be showing far more than just our products and services. While participating in other exhibitions is crucial in understanding the general technology landscape, our participation in Intersec helps us position ourselves within the regional security sector amongst our stakeholders and our competitors.
“The event is a learning opportunity that allows us to understand the market’s demands alongside the gaps that Genetec solutions could fill. Intersec is the perfect opportunity to really delve into the region’s offerings and better understand the market.”
The rise of AI
In almost every security sector, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is beginning to be utilised to increase the speed and accuracy of security technology. AI has the potential to be a true game-changer in the fields of video surveillance, perimeter protection and cybersecurity to name just a few.
The real-world benefits of AI will be on display at Teledyne FLIR’s stand at Intersec 2022, with the company showcasing its state-of-the-art radars and thermal cameras. One of the products on show will be the FLIR Triton FH-Series ID.
These are ruggedised, multispectral fixed cameras that integrate leading <30 mk sensitivity thermal imaging with 4K visible imaging to provide reliable intruder detection capabilities for perimeter security. Built-in convolutional neural network (CNN) analytics accurately detect, classify and geolocate threats, improving situational awareness, minimising false alarms and daily operations costs.
Custom programming enables security operators to set intrusion analytics to run on visible streams or on thermal streams based on schedule or illumination levels, establishing optimised coverage for any lighting condition.
Nikitas Koutsourais, Regional Sales and Business Development EMEA at Teledyne FLIR said: “These fixed, multi-sensor cameras are revolutionary in the way that they deploy Artificial Intelligence in the thermal images, as well as the 4K visible images, it enables best possible target identification making maximum benefit of the level of light available, also the FH series and our radars including the new R-series, provide our customers with a unique mapped and tracked solution that relies on both radar and camera sensors to geolocate and follow threats.”
He continued: “AI is a significantly growing trend in security and is having a remarkable impact on perimeter solutions. It is replacing conventional analytics for all types of applications, including detection and target classification. Manufacturers such as Teledyne FLIR will look to continually improve the efficiency of their solutions and AI will play a huge role in this, so I expect its use to grow exponentially.”
According to Koutsourais, exhibiting at Intersec enables Teledyne FLIR to continue to grow its footprint in the Middle East region: “The Middle East is incredibly important to Teledyne FLIR, we have a very good team in our Dubai office and a growing business. We are looking to keep this trend going as well, as we improve and grow, Intersec can help us to do that.
“It’s one of the most important exhibitions worldwide for us and certainly one that we wouldn’t miss. It enables us to better understand our market due to the high quality of people that attend the show. You can begin conversations at Intersec which turn into real projects and long-lasting business relationships. Many important customers in the Middle East region attend Intersec which leads to an outstanding level of business discussions taking place.”
The new normal
Due to COVID-19, it is almost two years since the last Intersec took place and there is no doubt that the world has changed significantly in that time. Within this “New Normal”, the use of video surveillance has also developed, with the technology helping to enforce health and safety regulations as well as protect against security threats.
James Soonjae Hong, Head of Asia-Pacific Sales at Hanwha Techwin commented: “The world has been turned on its head by the pandemic, COVID-19 is now a part of our everyday life. It has changed many of our daily habits with mask wearing and social distancing now the new normal for everybody.
“Organisations have had to embrace the requirement for contactless and automated systems to detect those individuals not wearing face masks or with elevated body temperatures for example. Manufacturers such as Hanwha Techwin have launched a number of state-of-the-art solutions which have helped with the COVID-19 response effort.”
The use of AI has been integral to the success of Hanwha Techwin’s COVID-19 solutions and the technology will be playing a central role in the company’s Intersec showcase as well. Hong revealed: “The key theme of our Intersec 2022 appearance is definitely AI. We are in a leadership position for AI in the video surveillance industry with our technology being some of the very best available.
“We are making continued investment in AI technology, including the establishment of an AI Lab in South Korea. AI is transforming the entire surveillance industry, with the quality of the solutions it is enabling us to create. It plays a huge role in video analytics and will only get bigger over the next few years.”
Hong and the rest of the Hanwha Techwin team are looking forward to displaying their new range of products at Intersec 2022: “I think that Intersec stands out from the other exhibitions. Exhibitors have the opportunity to meet lots of new potential customers and partners, including end users, government officers, distributors, system integrators plus many more.
“This attracts all of the largest manufacturers in the world to Intersec which makes it even more special. Intersec is the perfect place to connect with industry peers and share expertise which will shape the future of video surveillance.”
Bringing the industry together
Intersec 2022 will run from 16-18 January at the Dubai World Trade Centre and brings together thousands of the industry’s most powerful stakeholders for bilateral government and business discussions on mitigating and addressing vulnerabilities of the future. They are joined by leading regional and international brands exhibiting the most innovative systems and solutions in a dynamic environment that enables face-to-face exchange through interactive roundtables, workshops and ‘closed-door’ confidential conversations.
The 23rd edition of the flagship event, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has the theme of ‘Uniting the world’s leading industry specialists for the safety and security of future generations.’

Security of Dams and Waterways: A Case Study
Senstar can help dam operators secure their control houses and spillways against unauthorized intrusions.
Water retention and control services do not normally receive much attention, but their operations are critical to the nation’s well-being. Dam failures can cause loss of life, destruction of property, and interruption of critical services like electrical generation. Even simple trespassing for innocuous reasons, such as finding the best fishing spot, can lead to drownings or bodily harm.

Edward Burgess, 1848-1891
[Mentioned in Unity of Good, p. 14]
Edward Burgess' interest in yachting and ships may have started when he first heard his father, one of the big traders in West India goods, tell his experiences. By the time Edward entered Harvard his taste for yachting was well developed. However, when he received his B.A., natural history claimed his attention, and he became Secretary of the Boston Natural History Society. From 1879—1883 he was an instructor at Harvard in entomology and published various scientific essays.
Mathematics had always fascinated him, but it was not until he went into business as a naval architect that he applied it. Subsequently he designed over two hundred yachts. The first to bring him renown was the "Puritan," a centerboard yacht, built entirely of wood. She was the winner of America's cup in the international regattas of 1885. Burgess determined to make his next fast vessel a better "all-round ship." The result was the "Mayflower," which won the cup in 1886. Still seeking to improve his work, he designed the "Volunteer," a steel centerboard sloop, which won the cup in 1887. The "Volunteer" was the marvel of yachting circles, and Burgess led the world in this special type of naval architecture.

Results of the last list of gold reserves in the world have appeared recently, according to which Macedonia is on a decent second place in the Balkans with 6.9 tons. A question rises why there is so much interest in this noble metal. Gold is the most valuable and sought noble metal in the world. It is estimated that more than 186,700 tons of gold have been dug since 2015, totalling USD 8.2 trillion. In addition to being used as jewellery, gold is used in the production of electronic equipment, automotive and airline industry, gold coins are used as stock and foreign exchange reserves of central banks, etc. This shows that gold has a major impact on human activities. For comparison, the US gold reserves amount to 8.133 tons of gold, while 20.800 tons are used in industrial manufacturing processes.
But this precious metal has the other side, and the public is not sufficiently familiar with it, except those involved in the process of gold mining. Gold mining process has a great impact on the environment, because it is complex, it requires a lot of time, great financial resources and experts from various fields, geology, geography, chemistry, metallurgy. Archaeological sites indicate that gold is one of the first metals the man used about 6,000 to 7,000 years ago. In the past, gold mining was simple, with the help of primitive techniques and without the use of chemicals. Gold is mined in two ways – by direct exploitation and as an intermediate in the process of copper and lead mining.
Gold is contained in the earth’s crust in the amount of about 5 mg/t, which is about 20 times less than silver. It can be found at the surface of the earth, near mountain rivers and streams, as well as at the bottom of the lakes and oceans. Only about 10% of gold deposits that were discovered so far contained sufficient quantities of gold for excavation. For economic exploitation, there should be at least 5 to 15 grams of gold per ton of ore. It is necessary to dig out 66,000 tons of ore for a ton of gold with a concentration of 15 grams of gold per ton, and if it contains 5 grams per ton of ore, it is necessary to dig 200,000 tons. Methods for obtaining gold from gold veins are relatively safe, because no chemical blends are used but a mechanical digging process. Afterwards, the ore is crushed and ground and then it is washed with a strong jet through the gratings where the gold is kept.
Since gold veins and deposits have been completely extracted, chemical processes of gold extraction have been applied in recent decades. They consist of total extraction of gold from the obtained ore. These processes include the use of mercury, cyanide, sulphur and other acids.
One of the procedures involves the use of mercury in the extraction of gold, in order to form amalgam with mercury. Then, the amalgam is purified through a canvas or other material, thus obtaining gold. Other metals contained in the ore are obtained in the same way.
In addition to mercury, cyanidation method for the extraction of gold is even more harmful. It has been used since 1890 and it is based on the solubility of gold in cyanide salt. Cyanide is used in 90% of total gold production worldwide. Gold ore and cyanide solution are added to large leaching devices. Gold is extracted by the process of zinc and aluminium cementation, which leads to accumulation of gold, i.e. making of pulp. After that, pulp filtering follows, which leads to a sediment containing 20% to 50% of gold with zinc and silver. Sulphuric acid is used to extract zinc, when gold and silver remain insoluble. The resulting silver and gold sediment is melted and a semi pure alloy of gold and silver is obtained called a dore bar, which is transported to factories, where it is refined and purified into pure gold.
In addition to these two processes, other, less harmful processes are used for gold extraction, with the use of chlorine and nitric acid, royal water and chloric acid as the reagents. For all these processes, a large amount of water is needed, which is then released into nature, and in the case of Macedonia it would be released into the Vardar River.
The harmfulness of the cyanidation process is reflected in the pollution of water and soil. Although the aqueous cyanide solution is quickly neutralized by the sun’s light, other by-products can remain in the soil for several years, making it unusable, while the animal species gradually extinct. In case of leakage of cyanide into surface and ground waters ecological disasters are created as was the case near the Romanian town of Baia Mare, where in 2000 there was a large amount of cyanide in the Samos river, and then in Tisa and the Danube, causing environmental disaster. In recent years, the replacement of cyanide with less toxic and harmful substances has been considered, but due to the low price of cyanide, these efforts will not be productive in the near future.
Although gold is a noble metal, its extraction has not been so noble lately, neither for the environment nor for the people involved in the process. This must be taken into consideration when giving concessions for the exploitation of gold in Macedonia.

Identities - SIP Settings(Section): Support broken Registrar
V6 - V10
<user_sipusername_as_line idx="INDEX" perm="PERMISSIONFLAG">VALIDVALUE</user_sipusername_as_line>
If your VoIP provider works only when you turn on „Support broken registrar“ on the phone's web interface, this means your provider does not call your phone the way the phone requested to be called.
What happens is that incoming INVITEs from your VoIP provider do not contain the contact URI which was previously registered by your phone as its contact.
Thus, the phone cannot safely identify the target line of the incoming call. When you compare the URI in the first line of the incoming INVITE and the URI in the Contact of the REGISTER, which the phone sends to the registrar of your provider, they will presumably differ. This is what we mean by “broken registrar”. It is as though your provider has sent a letter to an apartment building with the city, the street address, and the house number on it, but without the recipient’s name. When you turn on „Support broken registrar“, the phone tries to find the right apartment by guessing, but this guessing will fail when there are two parties with the same name in the building.

7 Misconceptions about Numerology that Need Addressing
The study of numbers has long been a field many have resorted to in order to divine an in-depth reading of their lives and personalities. While many call it a dubious art, it does not limit the accuracy that numerology can provide.
A numerologist online consultation is enough to not only help individuals understand themselves better but also get relevant guidance to create opportunities for their future with the help of numbers and what they signify in each person’s life.
Is a Numerologist Consultation Really Helpful?
While there are many who doubt, having an open mind towards the mystic arts can become your greatest strength. You not only understand yourself and your circumstances better but also gain a different perspective on the outer world. The guidance you can receive through numerology is often accurate enough to restructure your plans towards a more successful future.
Certain people also have an unusual spiritual connection to the intangible that makes them clairvoyant and their readings more precise and specific to the individual they are reading for.
Busting Myths Surrounding Numerology
Despite the accuracy and belief in numerology since the ancient days, there are a lot of misconceptions and myths surrounding this field, making many steer clear of it. Here are some common myths we’d like to bust!
Myth #1 Your Numerologist Consultation Will Predict the Future
Numerology has had its origins since ages ago and is widely used to analyse one’s life and personality by determining the ruling number in their life. However, contrary to popular belief, numerology is not an avenue for fortune-telling. Numerology, as a science, can shed light on your current circumstances and a possibility of what can be expected with the help of numbers that are pivotal in your life, and cannot be considered a prediction tool.
Numerologists can, however, guide you by advising on what can be favourable for you based on the numbers pivotal in your life. Your choices also greatly determine what path your life could take, making numerology a guide for you more than a prediction.
Myth #2 Your Life Path Number Is the Only Crucial Number You Should Know
While the life path number is a vital one with the highest value in our lives, there are certain other numbers that also determine a lot of the major avenues in each individual’s life. These are the soul number, the personality number, the maturity number, and the destiny number. Each of these numbers determine a certain aspect, from a person’s capabilities and interests to how the individual is perceived by the outside world.
Along with your life path number, knowing your soul, destiny, and personality numbers along with the others numbers compatible with you is equally crucial. Your numerologist online consultation can help you know these numbers that could be vital in leading you toward a more successful direction.
Myth #3 Numerology is the Same As Astrology
Numerologists often also study astrology and vice versa to be more in tune with mystic arts. However, numerology is not the same as astrology. Where astrology is based on the study of planets, their positions, and the time and place of an individual’s birth, numerology is the study of numbers to identify a person’s life path, personality, destiny, and soul numbers with the help of their name.
A numerologist consultation will also help your numerologist identify whether a change to your number can create better opportunities for you. On the other hand, astrology does not take the name of an individual into consideration in its study.
Myth #4 Numbers Influence your Actions
Numerology is the study of numbers that help identify the ruling numbers in your life. While it is true that numbers can offer the needed information to guide you in the right direction for success in your career, relationships, and personal life, they cannot influence your actions to an extent where you are forced to make decisions based on them. You are free to choose your actions and your path despite what the numbers tell you.
Myth #5 Your Lucky and Unlucky Numbers Determine Your Circumstances
Depending on your numerological analysis, there may be certain numbers that are more favourable to you than others. However, a single digit will not solely determine your circumstances. Numerologists carry out a detailed study of your charts with the knowledge that every number carries vibrations compatible with other numbers to create a favourable balance for each individual. While you may be able to calculate your life path number on your own, a numerologist consultation is needed to identify what the numbers mean for you and what other numbers can balance out the negativity for you. By studying your charts, your numerologist will also help you identify what numbers are favourable for you in terms of wealth and success.
Myth #6 Numerology Forces You to Change Your Name
Numbers can be powerful and your name and date of birth hold the key to yours. While the date you were born cannot be changed, a name can always be revised. However, that does not mean all our clients require a change in their names.
Every letter holds a numerical value which, when added until you get a single digit, gives you the number dominant in your life. The readings and analysis of all the ruling numbers in your life help numerologists find out whether they are a positive or negative influence in your life. In certain cases, subtle but vital changes help balance out the negative influences. A name change is just one of them and not something needed in every case. Further, we always make sure the change to a name is as close to the original as possible, making the change imperceptible when the name is verbally spoken.
Myth #7 Numerology limits an Individual
This is a misconception grown out of the fact that numerology readings provide insights into a potential path one can take towards success. The truth, however, is that numerology helps discover your innate talents, personality, shortcomings and more, which then help numerologists identify the right career paths for you and provide the needed guidance that could lead you into better circumstances. Unless you let it limit you, there is much that you can gain through a numerologist online consultation. With the knowledge gained through consultation and your free will in choosing your paths, you can carve a future that is favourable to you.
While these are only some of the myths and misconceptions surrounding numerology, it is never your gain if you judge an art before you’ve tried it. For the many who believe, numerology has been life-changing and has brought them a more positive perspective.
You can go for an online consultation with leading numerologists to get a glimpse into how you can benefit from the numbers ruling in your life. At the end of the day, you’re certainly winning life.

A recent ruling is likely to have significant consequences for guardian property companies (and other landlords) who use licence agreements to place occupiers into properties to protect against squatters and vandalism. The case of Camelot Property Management Limited and Camelot Guardian Management Limited v Roynon highlights the importance of carrying through in practice what a document/ licence has set out to achieve.
The matter of whether a licence is really a licence or indeed a lease has long been debated and for some time now it has been widely accepted (following the decision in Street v Mountford ) that the principles of exclusive possession, rent and length of term govern how a ‘licence’ will be regarded by the courts.
The recent Camelot case did not set to change these principles but has offered valuable insight as to what is required in order to prevent ‘exclusive possession’ from arising and turning a ‘licence’ into a lease or formal tenancy.
The ‘licence’ agreement with Mr Roynon for the occupation of two rooms in a former old people’s care home contained the following restrictions:
- No overnight guests
- No unsupervised guests
- No more than 2 guests at a time
- All guests to be escorted from the property at the end of each visit
The court held that the provisions of the agreement did not accurately reflect what happened in reality. Whilst the licence stated that no exclusive possession would be given, Mr Roynon had in fact been given keys to two rooms to which no other guardians had access and which no one entered without his permission.
Regular inspections of the rooms by Camelot were not held to be sufficient to counter his exclusive possession and Mr Roynon had therefore acquired an assured shorthold tenancy rather than a ‘licence to occupy’.
The case highlights the need to put into practice what a document/ licence has set out to achieve and where no exclusive possession is intended, landlord’s must make sure that the living arrangements are not contrary to the formal agreements put in place.
Anyone using guardians or short term occupiers to prevent buildings remaining empty should carefully balance the risks of allowing people into occupation with the rise of professional squatters and other unwanted occupiers who could look to take advantage of such situations.
Contact Caroline for more information.

Future of Capitalism
The future of capitalism will soon be in the hands of the next generation of business leaders, who will want to leave their own imprint on shaping a new socio-economic system. This is viewed not only as an aspirational thought but also as a responsibility. This initiative is designed to be a catalyst for personal thought and commitment and a network-building opportunity.
The educational journey will be based on sharing experiences and reflections with top executives, entrepreneurs, policymakers, activists of various backgrounds, academics, and people dramatically affected by our current systems, such as former street children and former child soldiers. Academic Directors will facilitate a dialogue between students and those guest speakers.
The objective of this Initiative is to help students understand the key issues society faces within the capitalist system today, as it acts as an integral part of the socio-economic system. Because today’s socio-economic system is founded upon the nation-state, democracy, and capitalism, when challenges faced by capitalism are discussed, often reflections on the nation-state and/or democracy become inevitable. By connecting virtually with thought leaders trying to address critical concerns arising out of the current system, students will gain insight from firsthand experiences. Furthermore, students will engage in dialogue with people affected in various ways by today’s socio-economic system to better understand their perspectives and interests. Each student is expected to reflect upon the role of business enterprises in society and the responsibility of business leaders, and translate the inputs from the sessions into a personal commitment for the betterment of society as a future leader and a plan to bring about changes to her future professional environment.
Students will form teams to work on a Final Output, which they will present to a group of business leaders during the final session.
The Future of Capitalism is jointly offered by the IESE Business School in Spain and Shizenkan University in Japan, in cooperation with the School of Inspired Leadership (SOIL), India, and Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV), Brazil.

Managing your own WordPress website is almost a full-time job. Making sure that the theme(s) and plugin(s) are always up to date and trying to publish content on a consistent schedule are just some of the tasks that never seem to be finished.
Taking over the responsibility for a WordPress website from someone else can be an even bigger headache, especially if you are not an experienced WordPress user or developer. It is an even more daunting exercise if the previous website managers were WordPress novices and did not adhere to website best practices.
Your First Steps
If you find yourself in this situation one of the first steps you should take is to find out just what you have on your hands. Things to check:
- Where is the website hosted and do you have account access?
- What version of WordPress is installed on the website?
- What WordPress Themes are installed and which is the active theme?
- Is the active theme a child theme of one of the other installed themes?
- What WordPress plugins are installed?
- Which of those plugins is activated and which are deactivated?
- Are there active plugins with duplicate functionality?
Some Best Practices
One best practices rule is that if a theme or plugin is installed on the WordPress website and it is not being used (is not activated) then it should be deleted. The only exception to this would be if the active theme is a child theme of one of the other installed themes (the parent theme). The parent theme cannot be deleted even though it is not active because the child theme relies on the parent theme’s code.
Another best practice is to never have multiple WordPress plugins providing the same functionality. Redundancy is not always good. I recently looked at a website the had installed and active, three different SEO plugins, two caching plugins and three backup plugins, among others. At the very least, multiple plugins active on a website which are trying to accomplish the same functionality will interfere with each other and could easily render some parts of each of the plugins inoperative.
How do overlapping plugins get installed in the first place? If the website has gone through multiple managers, each could easily have installed a plugin that they liked while not recognizing a different plugin was already present and doing the same job. Or, it could be that when a new website functionality was being explored, several different plugins were installed while researching the best option and then not removed when a decision was made on which plugin to actually use.
Unused themes and plugins add technical overhead to your website and, if not kept up to date with the latest software revisions, can provide security holes for hackers. The vast majority of WordPress website hacks are due to out of date or poorly coded themes and plugins, not the WordPress core files.
Clean House! Your site will run faster and it will be more secure.

What Happens if a Buyer Backs Out of a Home Sale?
Buying a home is an incredible experience that provides soon-to-be homeowners with not only a place to call home but an investment that could pay dividends in the future.
As amazing as the home buying experience is, sometimes things can occur that may affect one’s ability or desire to purchase said home, causing them to want to back out of the deal.
When a buyer backs out from purchasing a home, many ask themselves if it’s even possible. To put it simply, the answer is yes; you can back out of the deal, but there’s a caveat. Depending on where you’re at in the process of purchasing a home, if you are concrete in your decision not to buy, you may face legal and financial consequences based on the agreement signed.
Some contracts come with contingencies, meaning there is a clause that states specific conditions that must be met before a deal can be closed. Contingencies are set in place to protect the buyer. If the conditions detailed in the contract aren’t met, the buyer can break the contract and avoid repercussions.
Typically, when a buyer makes an offer and the offer is accepted, they need to put down a deposit of around 5%-10% of the sales price to show sellers their seriousness. This deposit is known as earnest money and is what’s at stake if the buyer backs out of the deal.
What are some common contingencies?
As stated above, contingencies are a safeguard for buyers to help protect them from some of the biggest risks when buying a property. The most common contingencies for buyers include:
- Financing – Protects buyers if they are unable to obtain an affordable mortgage.
- Inspection – Protects buyers from purchasing a home that is in poor condition or in need of major repairs.
- Home Sale – Provides buyers with time to finalize the sale of their current home.
- Title – Protects buyers from having to purchase a home if the seller is unable to transfer over the title void of any liens or encumbrances on it.
- Appraisal – Allows buyers to rescind their offer if the appraised value is lower than the agreed-upon sales price.
On a side note, if you entered the agreement by making a clean offer, meaning void of contingencies, to beat out other potential buyers, you will most likely be held to the agreement and liable financially.
To avoid putting yourself in a situation where you lose your deposit, it is important that you seek professional help before signing to mitigate potential risks. In combination with having the right legal representation, working with top-tier realtors like the ones at Signature Properties Group will help ensure complete transparency throughout the home buying experience, so you can rest assured that you are well protected.

This is the fourth post about the Ratpoison window manager.
When managing tasks there is no better interface than task warrior’s CLI, that’s for sure, but sometimes having a few-strokes-interface for listing the current tasks or adding a new simple one comes in handy.
Let’s use Ratpoison goodies for this.
We can create a new mapping for the letter
t and assign some bindings for it
using the following Ratpoison configuration snippet:
newkmap task definekey task l exec task_control.sh list definekey task p exec task_control.sh list_projects definekey task a exec task_control.sh add definekey task question help task bind t readkey task
This snippet appears in my
Now, triggering the keymap with
C-t t and one of the commands:
l List task p Lists projects a Add new task ? Print binded keys help
Add task feature is achieved using a script that prompts for a string that
then goes straight to task warrior’s CLI, so think of it as introducing a new
task with the CLI without invoking task as the command but only its arguments.

Introduction to a Grid system
A grid system serves as an aid for designers when building designs, helping them to create consistent user experiences and arrange information in a natural, informative manner. They utilize several common rules, including:
- Golden section
- Rule of thirds
- Modular grids
- Single column grids
- Multi-column grids
- Baseline grid systems
- Responsive grid systems
In web design, they allow for a familiar, consistent website browsing experience by assisting in aligning screen elements, working as a sort of guide or map to the website. By applying column-based structures in a consistent manner, websites become recognizable and easier to browse.
Picking the right grid system for your website can increase its performance. When people get frustrated trying to navigate a website, they tend to leave instead of trying to find what they are looking for. Depending on the purpose of your site, this can cost you valuable sales, views or subscriptions.
Grids began long ago
Grids began as a way to guide handwritten text in books, allowing writers to keep their words even and easy to read, much like lined paper does today utilizing layout grids for sections whether in a single column or multiple columns. So it wasn’t a graphic design focused practice per se, but a concept to organize parts of the page for legibility or provide order.
As writing gave way to printing, grids could serve a printer or graphic designer or typesetter as a way to manage typesetting, determining the scale and columns on the page. The industrial revolution saw an increased demand for printed works, leading to the further development of the grid system for dividing page spaces into smaller segments. This was particularly beneficial in printing advertisements, news articles and similar compilations of information printed together to allow for an intuitive flow for the reader to follow all the graphic elements on the page.
Grids grew in popularity and usage, going through several transformations and eventually being used in advertisements, packaging and even television commercials or simple ad page layout. The efficiency and order brought by grids have also been utilized for creating rows of houses in the suburbs in all mediums but especially print design. Many designers were faithfully implementing grid systems.
The Swiss Movement of the 1940s and 1950s added a touch of modernism to grids, breaking the need for symmetry and changing how typography could influence the message conveyed in print design.
As computers quickly dominated every aspect of our lives, grid systems were quickly embraced and broke through a major challenge faced by designers. Mistakes could now be fixed with the press of a button. Elements could be dragged across the screen. As a result, experimentation grew because there was relatively little to lose compared to having to generate the grids by hand.
Types of Grid Systems
Grid systems come in three types: Fixed, fluid and hybrid. Each comes with its own pros and cons, but by and large, most people recommend using a hybrid system for best results.
Fixed Grid Systems
Fixed grid systems are among the most basic similar to modular grid. With these grids, when shrinking or expanding the website, the visible site doesn’t really change. As you shrink or expand the website, the side margins grow until breakpoints are hit.
A breakpoint is a defined point at which a website’s content adapts to try to provide a better user experience. For example, if a website has a sidebar visible in fullscreen, but the sidebar disappears when the window is minimized to half-screen to allow more of the site’s pertinent information to be viewed, a breakpoint has been hit, triggering the display to change.
This happens because the grid has fixed columns, gutters and margins defining the breakpoints. Once that threshold is crossed, the site reconfigures itself.
Fixed grid systems come with several pros and cons to consider before deciding to implement them.
Pros of Fixed Grid Systems
- Fixed grid systems with several breakpoints allow for websites to be generated for computer, tablet or phone viewing. The website stays the same across the three platforms, but the site displayed will match the screen size.
- Fixed grids allow for total control over the display of a site interface by setting fixed values for displays. Text won’t wrap and images won’t change dynamically between breakpoints.
Cons of Fixed Grid Systems
- If breakpoints are not implemented or are implemented incorrectly, smaller screens won’t get to view the entire page at one time, causing them to have to scroll horizontally, which can detract from usability and negatively impacts a viewer’s experience.
- These websites are no longer used as frequently as they once were. People have come to expect dynamic responsiveness from websites they visit, so if yours doesn’t offer that, people may not come back.
- Fixed grid systems use pixel definitions for the widths of the grid elements rather than percentage definitions, meaning even if viewed on a larger screen or higher resolution, the website will not automatically change.
Fluid Grid Systems
Fluid grid systems provide a more user-friendly interface, dynamically changing the size of the display until breakpoints trigger a change in layout different to a modular grid. Grid elements are defined by the percentage of the grid they take up, allowing them to shift as the display window shrinks or grows.
Pros of Fluid Grid Systems
- Windows change dynamically, scaling to the size of the display, which can be useful when implemented correctly.
- Displays on phones and tablets, which can come in several sizes, can be easily viewed regardless of model.
Cons of Fluid Grid Systems
- Because these screens rely on percentages, columns can get incredibly narrow on smaller screens. This can create long, narrow columns that are frustrating to read.
- It is difficult to design an interface that implements a fluid layout that looks great on both large and small screens. Large screens often look too empty while small screens look too crowded.
- Elements that should remain fixed, like images and videos, may shrink, causing issues with viewability.
Hybrid Grid Systems
Most commonly, hybrid grid systems are used in website design, taking the best of both worlds from fixed and fluid designs. Typically, sites set certain fixed sizes in pixels for specific elements, such as a footer or sidebar while allowing other content to dynamically change between breaking points.
Pros of Hybrid Grid Systems
- Combining grid system layouts can allow for a versatile, highly customizable design that takes full advantage of the dynamic nature of fluid elements while retaining the size of elements that should be fixed, like videos and images.
Cons of Hybrid Grid Systems
- Depending on the website design, some viewers may see horizontal scrollbars if their screens are smaller than the defined pixel size for fixed elements. This could pose a problem to mobile viewers on a website designed for viewing on a computer screen.
How to Implement Grid Systems
Implementing grid systems doesn’t have to be difficult. By following a few guidelines, you can get started quickly and start adding elements to your site.
Choosing the Right Grid System for Your Project
Choosing the right grid system for your project is crucial to developing an effective website. In most cases, a hybrid system is probably best, but you may benefit from some of the pros or cons of the fixed or fluid systems.
Additionally, consider whether you need column, modular or hierarchical grid design. This will be based on the purpose of your website. A hierarchical grid works well, for example, with news platforms. A modular or column grid may be more suitable for displaying highly variable content, such as ecommerce. because they offer plenty of flexibility while designing your site.
Setting Up the Grid System in Your Design Software
Setting up a grid requires a few steps, but once you get the hang of it, it flows quickly. Once you know what kind of grid you want, you can then start setting it up. The exact method to do so will vary based on the software you use, but the steps to setting up and implementing the grid remain the same.
Begin by determining how many columns you need and decide on the margin and gutter sizes. It’s a good idea to do this for desktop, tablet and mobile viewing so your website can be viewed on any system. Use this information to create the grid.
Once the grid is in place, make sure content is always placed within the columns rather than the gutters. This means your website elements should align on both the left and right side with columns.
Tips for Working with Grid Systems
To help work with grid systems, consider these tips to streamline the process.
Follow Responsive Designs
Most websites benefit from some degree of fluidity by allowing for websites to have dynamically changing elements. This causes the tiles and grid content to scale with the size of the display and keeps the information hierarchy intact so your website still has an intuitive flow to it, no matter the screen size.
Pay Attention to White Space
White space assists with keeping website content readable and organized. Make sure the width and height between columns and rows allow for the grid to adjust.
Use the Golden Ratio and Rule of Thirds
Both the Golden Ratio and Rule of Thirds can boost the aesthetic of a web design. The Golden Ratio enhances the layout, balance and sizing, drawing from the Fibonacci sequence. The length of design elements should be 1.6180 times the width.
Using the Rule of Thirds assists in designing a grid that appears visually balanced. This requires you to divide your webpage with a 3×3 grid to create nine boxes that are the same size and assists in placing elements within them.
Best Practices for Using Grid Systems
When using your grid system, there are several practices that can help you design an attractive website that keeps visitors returning. The primary considerations are alignment and consistency, hierarchy and contrast, and responsive design.
Alignment and Consistency
Alignment in web design refers to the positioning of all elements. They may be left, right, center or justified. By properly aligning your site, you can create a sense of structure and consistency. Alignment will impact text, images and groups of elements.
Choosing the correct alignments can dramatically influence the feel of a website. Remember the Rule of Thirds, the Golden Ratio, and keep elements in the columns of your grid rather than in the gutters.
Regardless of the method you choose to align your site, do so consistently across your web pages to create a cohesive experience.
Hierarchy and Contrast
Hierarchy refers to the order in which elements are presented to guide them through your site. You want the most important elements to be viewed first. The hierarchy of information is created by using both size and scale to guide the viewer’s focus. Likewise, contrast and color used in tandem can help draw attention to important elements. Contrast, especially with bright colors, can help draw attention to focal points. This can be used with website navigation to draw attention to elements you want your viewers to focus on.
Responsive Design Considerations
Responsive designs are more important than ever when so much web browsing happens on mobile devices. Breakpoints will scale the site based on the device viewing it, allowing the layout to adjust to phones, tablets and desktops, regardless of resolution.
Before designing a responsive site, there are a few important considerations:
- Begin with the mobile site first. It is easier to scale up from a mobile site to a desktop site than it is to shrink a desktop site down.
- Create fluid images and grids that will automatically scale on larger screens.
- Use Scalable Vector Graphics when creating 2D graphics to avoid the image appearing pixelated on a larger screen.
- Use three or more breakpoints.
- Aim for accessibility and minimalism.
- The design should be focused on ease of use to develop familiarity.
Grid systems have guided our ability to display large amounts of information in an intuitive way, and they will continue to do so long into the future. Understanding how to implement grid systems in your web design will be one of the most valuable contributions you can make. Effectively using grid systems is all about following the rules of design while still creating a unique, inviting experience for viewers.
To keep learning more, consider checking out classes and guides for the design software you are using. These are often some of the most useful sources of information, as they will apply specifically to your software and guide you through the process of using it to create vivid, eye-catching designs.

Side by side, face to face – with the immediate evening daylight filtering from the floor-to-ceiling windows into my Midtown West aerie and onto our nakedness – I answer to your confusion with what is more and more natural to ask: “What do you think about when you masturbate?”
And in an instant, time capsizes, roles reverse, and I’m wizened by a pre-to-early-teen who went from savvily salivating to this disconnected man in midlife, spent, in defenselessness. You, my latest lover, disclose that you’ve come increasingly to relive the times when, rolled out and reared in the 1970s of the American Southwest, you’d seduced and sucked off a handful of friends’ sex-starved fathers as a precocious pubescent.
At 12 my unofficial Sunday morning ritual had me hurrying down the stairs to unearth the throwaways hidden in the middle of the Kalamazoo Gazette after my stepfather and mother had glanced at it, before we four prepared for church. Maybe one Sabbath per month, to my great gratification, I’d come upon an underwear ad. I’d sneak up each step to hide the whole newspaper away and save the sacred visuals within for private peeks of bed-humped peaks when my stepbrother was outside playing. Gol! Those fitted states of undress and bits of flesh with the intermittent shock of armpit hair – It was in the mystery of these models in white shirts, short socks, and brimming briefs with their tucked away cocks and pretty visages finding me drizzling face down until the day I realized my right hand as my eyes mapped each man’s body. I peered to my side as I jerked to full-on squirt, fizzling from the riddle of myself in the sensational middle of an age of alienation. Within the enigma, without a fantasy, and with the threat of detection forever looming, I fruitfully fumbled my way into a handy new skillset deep in the boondocks on that dead-end dirt road in Southwest Michigan.
By 13 my pa and I were routinely viewing Dances with Wolves for the umpteenth time when he muttered, “Something must be wrong with the VCR.” As Lieutenant Dunbar surfaced from the prairie grass singing “Soldier, Soldier, Will You Marry Me?,” carefully concealed cack swinging, his bare ass was reduced to blur and static. Over and over, I’d paused the scene of this ruggedly sensitive Yank in the Heartland to erratically heat my hand with my hard part to spit in tissue in a fit of puerile passion to the point of wearing out the videotape. Gosh! I’d tug my boner as I bit my tongue to those white cheeks, that lanky frame, and the fur on his chest and manicured mane on his face, quiet virility causing me to be cautiously feral as I’d climax to Costner’s rubbed buttocks. Quickly, quickly, I’d jack it before my father would come stumbling downstairs to that closet-of-a-basement on M-119 in Northwestern Michigan. A faint notion of a fixation streamed in my consciousness to the enrapturing motion of the lieutenant swimming in the pond, pondering the magnitude of Kevin’s nudity in my ruptured mind as his shadowy anatomy was but a rebellious spot on my dad’s wide screen.
Now 14, back downstate and upstairs, my stepbrother has run away and – after years of having split a room – I claim a lone space in relocating my bed to the window with the added, advantaged view across our cottage and toward the close of our cove. Man Alive! There’s Bill Schweitzer, shorts filled with middle-aged might, faced away from my post. He dove into the lake – then straightaway is lifting himself on his dock, his dick and low-hangers accentuated in sweatpants shortened to form his meaty enormity in makeshift trunks as he lies in the sun to laze in his brazen hunkiness. My vision wanders from the bedroom, by way of binoculars, to savor his large bulge to each military tattoo that favors a once perfectly sculpted physique on this pristine afternoon of charged rest. And my righteous hand approaches my pants, palm to touch my entireness, as I strip Mr. Schweitzer of his personhood to slip myself into that swimsuit to imagine this manhood. His legs through the lens, my eyes meet his thighs, and summer sweat blends with freshwater wetness to attest to my swelling in the middle of his – this – Midwestern moment.
So you, dear suitor, and I mirror our queer selves as we head back again and again in more than a mere prurient pursuit of the elusive… In healing and heightening – reliving… relieving! – the wonderment of discovering what once was to uncover a sense of awe at all that is today… Reawakened to adolescent revelation, I trace the indent of your briefs on your waist so as not to waste away the brevity of our skin-to-skin leveling – and, civil in my native land, you free my man push and fixate on my boy tush.
And, strengthening the length of yourself in me, you long to feel shrewd and fresh again. And, astutely surrendering to you, I yearn for a youthfulness that grasps little and has yet to get anything. And we’re letting one another identify the indescribable – uncontained in this insistent instance.
And I take our time, slowly undressing begetters familiar and foreign, as your mouth travels south… You hastily taste me to slurp and best this unraveling, Western clambering to capture the fleetingness of a meeting between your pal’s pop as he pulls his sweatshorts down in that bygone garage and forces his full salute toward your young front, yanking you by the chin as he interjects ejaculate in your yap, coming to be immortalized in your captivated – surprised! – portal.
And you reclaim your innocence for the first time as I gain a know-how with beginner’s mind as we take turns being ourselves through the ages, sharing our lustfulness and shedding light on our wondrous woundedness as we lick one another’s chutes, facing up to freedom’s being freed from affectation as we shoot and miss to hit anew.
And that night, having masturbated, I lay sated in gratitude for the nurtured recollection of you and him and you and him and you and him… in times when the gratuitous was occasional and not an everyday occasion – while eureka effects were year by year, paced in a space where idolization transmogrified into idealizing, as awareness arrived, briefly, sidewise…
Stop massage creaming your keyboard (that’s my scenario, anyway), clip after clip, as you hasten the next best thing, Men Alive! Instead, stick with the anticipation and finish to this, calling forth a Northerly force of nurturing fascination.
Or be a real rebel and yank it to what you reliably know. Companions parted, infatuations past, melded with a less inhibited you in a time formerly inhabited.
Squeeze the covert in constancy, and be tamed by your own nature.
(Note: I may not have gotten Moroccan cock in me, but an altogether different dream came true and I got to ride a camel in the Sahara Desert! I went expecting an unrequited love, but it turned out that each beast adored me. ☺ The ecstatic happening is captured here.)

Today, more than ever before, it’s important to have a healthy immune system. Luckily, CBD may help boost your immunity in several ways.
You don’t really think about your immune system unless you’re sick. That’s because when it’s functioning well, you have steady energy, fewer body aches, and you’re even in a better mood. When your immune system is weak though, you definitely notice. Exhaustion, irritability, being prone to infections, inflammation, and even digestive issues are all signs of a weak immune system. So, can CBD help?
Yes! CBD (cannabidiol) may help boost your immune system both directly and indirectly. To understand how CBD may do that, we need to first take a look at how the immune system works.
Reading Time – 6 min
What is the Immune System?
The immune system is one of the most complex systems in your body. Part of the reason for that is because we’re still learning all the different things that can affect your immune system. This vast system includes a network of cells, tissues, and organs spread throughout your body.
A healthy immune system can differentiate between your own tissue and foreign tissue, it can clear away dead or faulty cells, and if it encounters pathogens (such as bacteria, fungus, viruses, or parasites) it protects you by attacking them.
Over time, as your body comes into contact with more pathogens, your immune system recognizes many of them and knows how to fight them. That’s why teens and adults get sick less often than children.
Someone may have a weak or compromised immune system for several different reasons though. Age, malnutrition, alcohol consumption, and obesity can all cause immunodeficiencies. That means some parts of the immune system aren’t functioning. For those with autoimmune disorders, the immune system can’t tell the difference between your cells and foreign cells. When that happens, it can mistakenly target healthy cells.
More and more research, however, indicates that the ECS (endocannabinoid system) may play an important role in regulating the immune system. This is important because CBD interacts with our bodies through the ECS.
The Endocannabinoid System and the Immune System
The ECS helps other systems in your body stay balanced, and it has receptors throughout your body. When something in your body becomes unbalanced (like your sleep/wake cycle or your stress responses), the ECS sends endocannabinoids to the area to help restore balance.
The biggest issue is that it’s surprisingly easy for things to get out of balance. Just sleeping through your alarm and starting your day with anxiety might be enough for your brain to trigger a panic response. That response, in turn, triggers specific hormones to be released which prepare your body for fight or flight.
Usually, after the stress and anxiety have passed, those hormone levels return to normal. But if you have chronic stress, a high-pressure job, or manage a hectic household, it can be harder for your body to know when it’s okay to calm down.
While this may feel like the norm at this point, this kind of stress can have a huge impact on your immune system. Over time, chronic stress can lead to headaches, sleep problems, focus issues, digestive issues, and more.
What’s even worse, is that stress can reduce the immune system’s ability to combat pathogens. Plus, the many coping strategies people use for stress can inhibit the immune system even further. That can include eating junk food, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, etc.
That’s why the ECS is so important. When the ECS is healthy, it effectively supports and balances several systems, including the immune system. So, how do you increase the effectiveness of the ECS?
By adding CBD to your daily regimen.
How CBD May Boost Your Immunity
By using CBD, you’re giving your ECS more cannabinoids to work with. While your body naturally produces endocannabinoids like Anandamide and 2-AG, the chemical makeup of CBD is similar enough that it can perform some of the same tasks. And because the ECS has receptors throughout the body, CBD may provide relief in a number of different ways.
Like we said earlier, CBD may boost your immunity both directly and indirectly. Below are just some of the ways CBD may help.
One of the fastest ways to feel crummy is to not get enough sleep. That’s because lack of sleep has a direct effect on your immune system. The Mayo Clinic even says, “Studies show that people who don’t get quality sleep or enough sleep are more likely to get sick after being exposed to a virus, such as a common cold virus. Lack of sleep can also affect how fast you recover if you do get sick.”
Luckily, CBD can help people sleep better in two ways–its anxiolytic and analgesic properties. CBD can soothe aches and pains that make it hard to get comfortable and by reducing stress and anxiety, CBD makes it easier to calm racing thoughts before bed. Speaking of anxiety…
GABA, one of the most important neurotransmitters, helps us stay calm, can help regulate our sleep, and generally helps us relax. Stressful situations, however, can affect GABA levels. When there’s not enough GABA, you may experience agitation, mood swings, poor sleep, trouble focusing, and more. Luckily, one of the ways that CBD helps with anxiety is by boosting GABA levels.
According to a 2011 study, when GABA levels get too low, the ECS has a backup system in place to help boost them again. So adding CBD may help your ECS accomplish that task more efficiently. And as we already know, less anxiety is better for your immune system.
CBD helps relieve pain in two ways. The first way is by reducing painful inflammation, and the second is by mitigating the way our brains respond to pain. But how does that help your immune system?
Pain, especially chronic pain, comes with a LOT of stress. But by reducing the pain you also reduce stress. What’s even more important is that reduced pain makes it easier to be active. Exercise, even something as light as a short walk, is SO good for your immune system.
Your immune system works with your lymphatic system to flush toxins and waste. Since the lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump though, it needs physical movement to move that material along. In this instance, CBD may reduce your pain enough for you to be more active, which in turn, helps your body function more efficiently.
Your digestive system is vitally important to your overall health and wellness. In fact, your immune health is dictated, in large part, by the health of your digestive system. In a MindBodyGreen article, one doctor even said, “around 70 percent of the immune system lives in the gut….”
And do you know what else affects gut health? The ECS.
One study by the PNAS said, “Our study unveils a role for the endocannabinoid system in maintaining immune homeostasis in the gut/pancreas….” Basically, their research indicates that the ECS helps keep the immune system balanced with its activity in the digestive system. So, when you take CBD, you may be helping your ECS, your gut health, and your immune system. Sounds good to us!
Basically, CBD may help you function better. All the things that help you maintain and boost your immune system (exercise, sleep, relaxation, etc.) are things that CBD can help you accomplish more easily.
We do want to remind everyone that CBD will not “cure” any viruses or diseases. CBD is a very powerful supplement and it can provide your body with the tools it needs to stay healthy. However, it’s always best to consult with your doctor before adding a new supplement to your regimen. This is particularly important if you’re using any prescriptions, as CBD may interact with some medications.
If you’re ready for your mind and body to start functioning better. We believe CBD can help people feel better and live more. If that sounds like something you want to experience, join the Singy’s family today. Check out our CBD products to find something that’s perfect for you.

Empowering women and communities
‘We live in times where people are wary: wary of migrants … There is a Brexit backlash because people are scared for their jobs,’ said Valentine Besry, taking part in an ARTconnects workshop in South Yardley Library in Birmingham in the UK.
As an economic migrant to Birmingham, who is originally from Guadeloupe in the Caribbean, Valentine said that while she had felt very welcome, she was now concerned about the impact Brexit would have on her and other migrants in the future.
Together with more than 20 women from different cultures, including the UK, Morocco, Yemen, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India, Valentine expressed her thoughts and feelings about the acceptance of varied cultures in the UK on canvas. The workshop was part of a project conceived by the humanitarian artist Salma Zulfiqar with Arts in the Yard, the Arts Forum for the Yardley District in Birmingham. Supported by Near Neighbours and the Aziz Foundation, the project will run until April 2018 promoting better integration, particularly of women, in the community.
‘We’ve been involved in quite a lot of social cohesion work in Yardley, but this project is allowing conversations to take place that we haven’t heard before. It is refreshing to hear local Muslim women speaking on their own terms to other women from Yardley, and for us all to realise that deep down, we aren’t that different from each other,’ said Nicola Toms, Project Manager for Arts in the Yard.
Arts In The Yard is part of a city wide Arts Forum initiative across Birmingham, overseen by No. 11 Arts. Arts Forums have a wide remit to ensure residents’ equal access to the arts. Their work is shaped by a cultural co-design model, often working within the areas of community cohesion and giving marginalised groups a voice. Hate crimes increased over summer 2017 in the West Midlands, particularly against Muslims, according to newspaper reports. The number of incidents reached almost 20 in June. Tell MAMA, a national organisation tackling hate crimes, believes that the number could be even higher as many incidents go unreported for fear of reprisals.
‘ARTconnects is about bringing people together to share their cultures and learn from each other, at a time when we are seeing hate crimes increasing and a lot of distrust brewing in communities, particularly following the Brexit vote’ said Salma Zulfiqar, artist and facilitator of the workshops.
The idea was originated by Salma Zulfiqar as part of her migration project to tackle racism against migrants and promote integration. The project consists of an art installation called Building Peace Through the Oceans and a series of workshops to create better understanding between communities at this critical time. The artist also recently organised a debate on migration at the House of Lords, chaired by Lord Sheikh. Together with representatives from the United Nations Migration Agency IOM, UNHCR and Tell MAMA, Salma Zulfiqar and others presented arguments to influence policy-making on integration.
In the workshops, women created pictures representing their favourite places around the world, celebrating UK culture and their own culture – showing the things they have in common as well as iconic images portraying the need to protect the human rights they value.
‘I haven’t been to a workshop like this before, it’s really good for breaking down barriers between people from different cultures, and the women are learning from one another,’ Valentine said.
‘We all have things in common and share common values like humanity and peace, and we need to embrace the culture we are living in,’ said Bano, originally from Pakistan.
‘This is the first time I’ve met someone from Morocco, and I’m learning from her and about her culture and country,’ said Lynne. ‘There was life before Brexit and we need to continue with that community spirit because our diverse communities are key in making us stronger.’
