Data & Research
Why do diversity and inclusion strategies matter?
McKinsey & Co found that companies leading in executive board diversity had returns that were 53% higher than others. Organizations with high rates of female executives are also more profitable, according to their 2016 analysis of more than 20,000 global firms.
McKinsey also found that companies that exhibit gender and ethnic diversity are, respectively, 15 percent and 35 percent more likely to perform better than those that don't. Their research shows that organizations with more racial and gender diversity also have better sales revenue, more customers and higher profits.
According to Gallup, "Companies with highly engaged workforces outperform their peers by 147% in earnings per share." Effective employee engagement through the lens of diversity, inclusion and equity helps organizations channel their employees' passions so that they can become champions and change agents.
According to GlassDoor.com, 67% of job seekers said that a diverse workforce is an important factor when evaluating companies and job offers.

The Blue Color Chaos Journal
Today I'm sharing an update on the group art journal project I am a part of -The Color Chaos Journals!
6 of my art journal friends and I decided to do sort of an art journal round robin, we each start a journal and send it to each other, letting the others create pages in their journals.
The twist? Each journal is a different color! Fun! See the previous journals I've worked in here- Pink, Red, Gold. This past month I have been working in the Blue Journal.
My first and favorite page. You should basically expect to see atleast one galaxy/space page in every journal I do.
I used watercolors to make the blue galaxy and magazine pages for the bottom half. I used Mono Correction Tape by Tombow for the quote- I just rolled it on and then wrote on top of it. It's an easy way to get white labels.
On this next page I went with a sea theme. Blue definitely makes me think of the ocean.
The turtle was actually a coloring page I had been doing and thought it would be fun to cut out and include on the page.
Another space page! This one isn't super space-y, though it does have gelli printed moons.
I tore this quote (I love it!) out of a doodle book a while back and having been saving it to use in just the right project, which I finally found.
Those are all of my complete pages! I also added my own touch to a few of the existing pages in the journal, but I didn't take photos of all of those. ;)
If you have a couple of minutes, be sure to stop by the rest of the Color Chaos Gang's blog to see they're colorful journals!
Do you use blue in your art a lot? I love using light blue in my scrapbooking, but for some reason I found this journal to be a challenge!

Jillian Anderson, Aesthetician
Jillian Anderson graduated from the University of Minnesota with a BA in Strategic Communications in 2004. Although she loved working as a marketing professional, her passion for skin care led her back to school for aesthetics. Since becoming a licensed aesthetician, Jillian has focused on advanced techniques, medical skin care, and growing her knowledge of skin-related conditions.
Jillian stays up-to-date on the latest in skin care regimens and procedures. Her approach to caring for her clients is focused on listening to their needs and customizing the best treatments and products for them. She is known for a relaxing and soothing touch.
As the lead aesthetician at Prischmann Facial Plastic Surgery, Jillian works closely with Dr. Prischmann to provide medically-sound treatments for anti-aging concerns, skin redness and sensitivities, adult and teenage acne, and other skin conditions. She also provides safe, relaxing treatments for women who are pregnant or nursing. Her main focus is to provide clients with innovative, results-driven, medically-based treatments for the skin while educating them on the cause and effect of everyday skin care issues.
Additionally, Jillian is trained to administer Nufree® hair removal treatments for patients interested in ridding their faces of excessive or undesired hair in a safe, comfortable, and effective manner. Originally designed to remove hair prior to facial plastic surgery procedures, Nufree® is a wax-free, antibacterial hair removal technique that can be utilized on any part of the face or body. The product has been clinically tested, and unlike some facial and body-waxing alternatives, it contains no animal products, chemicals, or sugars.
Jillian is committed to spending as much time as it takes to help her clients look and feel their best. She has devoted her career to mastering facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasions, facial waxing, eyebrow and eyelash tinting, and many other skin treatments. Jillian also performs laser hair removal under the direct supervision of Dr. Prischmann. She is laser certified and has had over 1000 hours of laser training and experience.
In addition to the many laser skin rejuvenation treatments Jillian performs, she is also experienced with a range of light-based treatments and Broadband Light (BBL) skin therapies. One of her signature treatments is called Forever Young BBL™ by Sciton – sometimes referred to as a Fotofacial. A recent study by Stanford University found that regular Forever Young BBL™ treatments can actually restore gene expression in the skin and reduce signs of aging. Forever Young BBL™ uses the power of light to help you maintain smoother, more youthful-looking skin for a long time to come. A full facial treatment with Forever Young BBL™ typically lasts less than 30 minutes, and can be combined with other anti-aging treatments, such as Skin Tyte (TM). There is typically no downtime after the procedure.
Born and raised in the Twin Cities, Jillian, her husband, and their dog (a sweet-natured cockapoo) enjoy an active lifestyle in downtown Minneapolis. In her spare time, she enjoys all things musical and has sung in the Basilica of St. Mary's Cathedral Choir for many years. Her other hobbies include running, golfing, cooking, and traveling.
Patient Testimonials
I am so happy I found Jillian to help me with my skin care needs! For years I've struggled with oily skin and acne and Jillian has educated and set me up with the perfect skincare regimen. Once my acne was under control, Jillian also introduced me to non-invasive, anti-aging skin treatments that I just love. I've been going to Jillian for my skincare needs for about a year now and I am just delighted with the results!
– Kathy H.
I had never had more than a facial cleansing before meeting with Jillian. She really put me at ease and helped me understand what the right skin care products and laser treatments can do for my skin. I have had several anti-aging treatments with her. She works efficiently – using a gentle touch and keeping me calm. She is thorough and takes the extra time for difficult facial areas. I am just amazed at the results from my laser treatments, and I had very little down time. This has been a very good experience for me. I'm telling all my friends about Jillian and Prischmann Facial Plastic Surgery. Thank you!
– Stacy B.
The facial I received from Jillian while I was pregnant was one of the most relaxing and pampering services I've ever had! She truly understands what's best for your skin and it's evident how passionate she is about her work. Her facials definitely helped me keep my "pregnancy glow!"
– Nicole P.

History and General Information
Nestled in the Pioneer Valley Springfield Technology Park is a unique combination of technology, education, entrepreneurship and history. Springfield Technology Park provides attractive lease space.
Established in 1996 with funding from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, STCC Assistance Corporation, began to own and operate the Park overseen by a board of directors. The facility layout is flexible and facilities management is knowledgeable regarding telecom industry needs and expectations. Technology Park is the premier complex in Western Massachusetts for companies seeking a "totally smart" environment in which to locate their operations. The historic buildings are attractively renovated. Additionally, tenant companies have invested in excess of $300 million in equipment and technology, including fiber, telecommunications networks and switching equipment in the park.
Springfield Technology Park has played an important role in technology transfer in the Northeast since the Springfield Armory was founded in 1794 as the nation's first arsenal, and became a continual source of technological innovation. Springfield Armory was the source of the famed Springfield Rifle as well as the M1 Garand Rifle. Started at the Armory the manufacturing innovation of interchangeable parts, led to mass production and technological advances throughout the Connecticut River valley and the nation. When the Armory closed in 1968, the Federal Square site was used for light manufacturing by a Milton Bradley, General Electric, and lastly Digital Equipment Corporation. The Armory Square site across the street became the campus of Springfield Technical Community College. With Federal Square transformed into the Springfield Technology Park, the two main segments of the historic Springfield Armory are reunited, and are making a new connection to the future.
Springfield Technology Park is a place where calculated risks are welcome, innovation an asset and where academic assistance is literally next door. It is a place that welcomes, educates and trains the city's next workforce and is very much a part of an exciting, changing neighborhood. It is also a place where businesses – from the community and beyond – can come to grow, taking advantage of the programs and expertise located within the Scibelli Enterprise Center. In short, there is no place quite like it in the City: It is here that one can see the legacy of Springfield's economic past evolving into Springfield's future. An Economic Impact Report on the contributions of Springfield Technology Park to the economy of the region was prepared by the Center for Economic Development at the University of Massachusetts in consultation with Mullin Associates Incorporated, and released in March 2003, update in December 2009.

That search, high on the wish list of astronomers, is incredibly difficult. From even just a few light-years away in our own little corner of the Milky Way, a planet in an orbit comparable to Earth's would be too close to its star for even the Hubble to see them as two distinct objects. A star is 10 billion times brighter than a planet. Picking out a tiny little Earth in the nearby glare of its heat source is like trying to see a firefly hovering in front of a searchlight—only more difficult. Still, NASA decided several years ago that the prize was worthy of the challenge and began working on a mission known as the Terrestrial Planet Finder. Researchers had always assumed that the project would cost billions, require launching powerful and technologically advanced space-based telescopes, and take a quarter of a century before anyone might actually see another Earth out there.
Or maybe not.
While astronomers have been mired in plans for an exotic array of space-based telescopes, a small, creative team of scientists and engineers based at Princeton University has come out of intellectual left field with a new idea that could cut years from NASA's schedule and cost far less than anyone had believed possible. The key is a revolutionary kind of telescope, invented by Princeton astrophysicist David Spergel, a theorist who didn't know much at all about telescopes until he taught himself optics from a textbook two summers ago. "This is a completely new idea," says Michael Littman, an eminent Princeton optical engineer, "and yet once you see it, you realize how simple and elegant it is. I'm kicking myself that I didn't think of it first."
Simplicity and elegance were the last things astronomers could hope for as they began planning the Finder back in 1996, only six months after planets of any kind were found outside our solar system. The first few planets discovered were huge alien gas balls, much bigger than Saturn or Jupiter, and clearly unfriendly to life. But where there are huge gas planets, astronomers reasoned, there may also be other Earths.
Scientists initially consulted by NASA envisioned launching a fleet of four or five telescopes, each bigger than the Hubble, and sending them out to Jupiter, where our solar system's dust clouds thin out. Flying in perfect formation and combining their light into a single, large, supersharp image, the telescopes would be able to pick out Earth-like planets. The cost would be in the billions and the technology was still undeveloped, but scientists believed it to be the only hope.
Meanwhile, NASA administrators, under perennial budget pressure, were having second thoughts about what direction to take with the Finder. They had already asked major aerospace companies, including Ball Aerospace, Lockheed Martin, and TRW, to propose alternative approaches. When representatives of those firms convened in Pasadena, Kasdin turned out to be one of the few academic scientists there.
Princeton didn't have an extensive track record in space-systems work, but Kasdin figured he could put together a strong team that blended the school's engineering talent with its celebrated astrophysicists. When he talked to people from Ball Aerospace, he recalls, "they asked me if I could get Dave Spergel."
He knew that Spergel had been a key member of the team that was building a satellite to explore the afterglow of the Big Bang. But they'd met only briefly at a new-members brunch. Nevertheless, he said, "Sure I can get him," and then came home, fingers crossed, to see if Spergel was interested.
Luckily, Spergel was, and so were a half-dozen other astronomers and engineers, including Ed Turner from Princeton's astrophysics department, Sara Seager from the nearby Institute for Advanced Study, and Michael Littman and Dick Miles from engineering. Within a few weeks Kasdin's team had established weekly discussions that continue to this day. Just about every Friday, whoever's available drifts over to the faculty lounge at the mechanical and aerospace engineering department on campus and joins in a high-level bull session on how to find planets. "Right from the start, these meetings were really fun," says Kasdin. "You've got a roomful of very smart people throwing out creative ideas and then arguing about which ones are crazy and which ones make sense."
But building an interferometer to find even smaller planets is problematic. First, the engineering behind combining light signals simultaneously is daunting. Second, to find a planet like Earth, and especially to see it directly rather than just detecting it by the wobble caused by its gravitational pull on its sun, the array of telescopes used to create the interferometer would have to be launched into space to get them above our planet's murky atmosphere. Third, the telescopes would still be blinded by a small planet's nearby star. Fourth, interferometry is easier to pull off if the instruments see in infrared, not visible, light.
The pluses and minuses of infrared light illustrate the complexities that must be dealt with in designing an observatory to see small planets. Infrared wavelengths are longer than those of visible light, so the optics don't have to be as precise. And infrared lessens the problem of being blinded by the light of the sun. A typical star outshines a planet in visible light by a factor of 10 billion to one, but in infrared light the ratio drops to 10 million to one, making the planet 1,000 times easier to see. There's another bonus to infrared, too: When scientists take a picture of an Earth-like planet, the light reflected from its atmosphere will bear the telltale signature of the planet's chemistry—and maybe even its biochemistry. The signature of livable planets, Carl Sagan and others have shown, is likely to be most prominent in the infrared part of the spectrum.
One downside is that a dust cloud that extends beyond Mars interferes with infrared transmissions, so the array of space telescopes that NASA envisioned launching to create the Terrestrial Planet Finder would still have to be sent out toward Jupiter. And by the time Kasdin's group got involved in the design, NASA had decided going to Jupiter was too expensive. "It was clear," says Charles Beichman, chief scientist for physics and astronomy at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the head of the Finder project, "that going out to three or four or five astronomical units [500 million miles from Earth] was just too hard."
Still, the biggest problem with visible light remained: How could the blinding glare of a sun be nullified? The only idea anyone had tried was to use a special filter that blocks out light and grows progressively darker toward its center. It should blot out the star. But no one has ever been able to make one work well.
As interest turned back to visible light, many of the scientists at other institutions, still committed to infrared, began to drop out of the group. Then David Spergel made an intellectual leap so great that team member Ed Turner, himself one of the world's most creative astrophysicists, recalls, "My jaw just dropped when I heard it." Spergel is a theorist, not an instrument designer. He's an expert on galaxies and cosmology, not planets. But, he says, "I had a few months with nothing special to do, so I figured it would be fun to think about something new. I took home a standard textbook, and every night after the kids went to sleep, I'd spend an hour or two reading it."
For most scientists it would have been a woefully inadequate education in optics. Spergel, however, was undaunted and began pondering what was already known about nullifying a star's glare. Other astronomers had deduced that while spacing two telescopes just the right distance apart would suppress light at the center of the field of view, the suppression became even deeper if you flanked the telescopes with two more, smaller scopes, one on each side.
An infinite set of mirrors was out of the question, of course, and even three or four pairs of scopes would be too complicated and too expensive. But the multiple mirrors gave Spergel an idea: If you trace the overall shape described by that idealized, infinite series of mirrors, it looks something like a cat's eye—a bulge in the center that tapers off at points on the right and left. So instead of building a lot of individual mirrors that approximate this shape, why not, he wondered, just make a single mirror with that shape? Even better: Why go to the trouble of making an oddly shaped mirror? You could achieve precisely the same effect simply by putting a mask over the opening of an ordinary telescope, making an opening shaped like a cat's eye.
It worked, as Littman made clear in a small lab at Princeton's engineering school in the fall of 2000. He arranged a couple of lenses and an eyepiece so that the light of a small laser passed through them in succession. Then he added a photographic slide, opaque except for a clear circle in the center, to simulate the round opening of a telescope. As the light emerged from the eyepiece, he focused it on a piece of paper. The result was a monochromatic pinpoint of light, surrounded by dimmer, alternating ripples of light and dark called an Airy pattern. Similarly, what's seen at the focus of any telescope when the image of a star is magnified enough is the sum of the Airy patterns corresponding to all colors in the starlight. Then Littman replaced that slide with a second slide, also opaque, but this time with a cat's-eye opening instead of a round one. The pinpoint appears on the paper as before. This time, though, the ripples of light and dark are confined to wedges aimed up and down. To the right and left of the pinpoint is nothing but darkness. It's in that darkness that Spergel, Kasdin, Littman, and the rest of the team plan to see planets.
"This demonstration basically took me an hour to set up," Littman says, "and we can suppress the light of the laser 'star' by a factor of 100,000. That's nowhere near the 10 billion we need, but if we can do this so easily on a shoestring, I'm confident we can make it." If they can, then the Terrestrial Planet Finder will look very different from what NASA envisioned only a few years ago. It will consist of just one satellite, not four, and it will sit somewhere near Earth—probably a million miles away at one of the gravitationally stable points where several satellites are already parked. And it could find Earths decades sooner than the space agency's original target date.
In addition, the team is proposing a separate Discovery-class mission, NASA's special designation for satellites that cost $350 million or less. This interim telescope would have a smaller, Hubble-size mirror. It would have trouble finding small Earth-like planets, but it would find larger planets like crazy. "In an ideal world," says Kasdin, "we'd be doing the bigger telescope, then eventually moving on to the full-size Terrestrial Planet Finder. But first we have to see if NASA wants to spend the money."
They also have to clear some serious technical and political hurdles. "The Princeton design does have the advantage of not having to make multiple satellites work together," says Beichman. "But their mirror has to be a lot closer to perfect." It may be beyond current engineering to make a mirror with the requisite surface—no bump or dimple bigger than a thousandth of the wavelength of light. The Princeton team has an answer to that: Correct imperfections by bouncing the light off a second, flexible mirror that could be adjusted to compensate precisely. They also have to deal with variations in reflectivity in different parts of the mirror's surface. "That's what I stay up nights worrying about," says Littman.
All these concerns must be addressed before NASA chooses a winning design—and there's plenty of competition. Lockheed Martin is still pushing a multisatellite infrared interferometer; other teams are working on single-telescope optical planet finders with a combination of filters and a crude version of Spergel's mask. "There are no front-runners and no back-runners at this point," says Beichman.
This month NASA will decide which of the competing designs should be funded for further development. If the Princeton-Ball team's telescope ultimately gets built, it will be an achievement so unexpected nobody could even have imagined it a few years ago and so powerful it could reveal Earth's sister planets by the score, bringing us closer to answering a question that has plagued us for most of our existence: Are we alone?

Thailand: Bail revoked for two 'red-shirt' leaders
A Thai court has revoked the bail of two "red-shirt" leaders and sent them to jail, citing security concerns about alleged insults against the monarchy.
Jatuporn Promphan and Nisit Sinthuprai were among nine opposition leaders charged with terrorism after the street protests in Bangkok a year ago.
On Wednesday, historian Somsak Jeamteerasakul also faced a complaint that he insulted the monarchy.
Thailand goes to the polls in early elections on 3 July.
Mr Jatuporn was one of the most prominent "red-shirt" leaders during opposition protests last year. The ten-week protests, ended by a military crackdown on 19 May, left more than 90 people dead.
Mr Jatuporn is a candidate for the Puea Thai political party, aligned to former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and was reported to be planning to campaign from jail if necessary.
Lawyers for the men said they would appeal the decision to revoke bail and offer higher sureties.
The lese majeste complaint rests on rival interpretations of speeches given on 10 April this year to mark the anniversary of the first attempted crackdown on last year's protests.
'Political prisoners'
The Department of Special Investigations (DSI) has tried repeatedly to get bail revoked for all the "red-shirt" leaders on the grounds that a condition for them not to incite unrest had been continually violated.
Mr Jatuporn's immunity as a member of parliament expired on Tuesday when the house was dissolved to prepare for elections.
Complaints of lese majeste and accusations of sedition have been lodged against more than a dozen "red-shirts".
Thai academic Somsak Jeamteerasakul went to a police station on Wednesday to acknowledge a complaint laid against him by the country's powerful military.
He told the Bangkok Post that the army had gone "beyond the call of duty" in pursuing such a wide range of lese majeste accusations.
He described all those currently accused of lese majeste as "political prisoners" and said he would be fighting the complaint.
The political temperature in Thailand has risen with the announcement of general elections, six months earlier than necessary.
Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva says the polls will allow the country to move on from bitter divisions in recent years.
Opposition figures and academics have said elections will not resolve deep-seated conflicts in Thai society.
They note that no-one has been brought to court for the deaths that occurred during two military crackdowns on the protests last year.

The overall goals for this part of the Berzelii Centre are defined from needs and new knowledge in medical, biological, pharmaceutical and chemical forefront research. We deal with fundamental developments in separation and detection science combined with applications in clinical neuroscience with the common aim to enable solutions to diverse analytical problems. The research projects represent novel analytical possibilities for sampling, enrichment, non-discriminating sample transfer, selective and efficient separation, detection, data handling and validation.
Today the availability of several powerful separation and MS techniques for proteomic analyses allows for screening and discovery of huge numbers of proteins, potentially related to pathways and pathomechanisms of disorders. With these new techniques follow high demands on accurate procedures for sampling, sample preparation, data acquisition and data analysis. Accordingly, much debate concerns the issue of good experimental design to meet the demands of clinical proteomics, and the Human Proteome Organisation Proteomics Standard Initiative (HUPO-PSI) recently published guidelines for standardizing the reporting of proteomic data. We have chosen not to follow the traditional proteomics route including 2D-PAGE gel electrophoresis but instead use multidimensional liquid separation and high-resolution MS technology for qualitative and quantitative measurements. This type of methodology enables detection of potential protein biomarkers of femtomolar or lower concentrations, in small volumes of serum and CSF.

During the past 2 days I've made several discoveries which more than make up for the horrific week I've had.
1) I don't need to get the tv in my room working in order to gammeln with my flatmate on a Sunday and watch Tatort – we can simply stream it online. (Yes, for someone who can be technologically-minded at times, this has taken a while to occur to me)
For those of you who don't know, Tatort is one of Germany's longest running crime series, (it started in 1970) with each Bundesland having it's own characters and plotlines. From what I've understood, it's a proper "sit down with the family on a Sunday evening and watch it together" affair. It kind of seems like the German version of Eastenders, in that it seems to popular with the masses. In which case that says a lot about British society and the vast contrast between the 2 countries, but I don't think I'm going to go there in this post…
2) Amazon.de is surprisingly efficient. Jokes about the German national stereotype aside, I was genuinely impressed with the fact that I ordered my 1Tb external harddrive yesterday at 3:30pm (work is always so busy on Fridays) and it arrived this morning via grouchy courrier. Cue strange crooning noises and me referring to it as my child. Doriane has now decided to call me "Beek". (Becca + geek)
3) Said external harddrive is called a "passport" because it's reported to be the same size. They weren't kidding:
4) When coming back at stupid o'clock from the pub with Doriane and Cathrin, making "shussshhhh" noises followed by a Gollum impression is not the way to avoid waking our sleeping flatmate.
5)Never, EVER let Herr Ben le Magnifique persuade me to do anything on the basis that it counts towards "personal development". I do not call being strapped in to a small heap of metal and whizzing around upside down and all over the place at high speeds and heights "personal development". Even if it did give me an excuse to hurl abuse at Ben for the entire duration.
6) But what has really made my week, is the discovery today of somewhere in Munich which SELLS BOMBAY SAPPHIRE. Yes, it requires bold font and capitals. You have no idea how long I have been searching for this stuff. None of this Gordon's Gin business, thank you very much. I'm not a heavy drinker. In fact, I seldom enjoy drinking alcohol, so I am completely baffled by the sudden improvement in my mood. Not that I'm complaining, mind.
Life seems somewhat better than it did at the beginning of the week: Monday is Feiertag (Bank holiday), I now have Bombay Sapphire in the kitchen, tomorrow I'm cooking a roast and I can finally start learning the Yiddish I need for this Fortsetzungskurs.
Oh, and I don't have to get up at 6am for the next 2 days either.

Leaked AMD dual-core pricing detailsBy Derek Sooman
Details of pricing for AMD dual-core Opterons seems to have been leaked. Seemingly, the low-end Opteron 865 chip will cost $1,514 USD, dual-core Opteron 870 $2,149, and the Opteron 875 will be priced at $2,649. Not due for release until Thursday, dual-core solutions from AMD are hotly awaited. The prices quoted should, however, only be regarded as a guideline, since OEMs will decide on final pricing for their AMD systems. AMD is expected to announce several industry partnerships on Thursday, where system builders will use the chips in their new machines.
By including two processing units into a single design, dual-core chips will bring improved performance when running multiple applications - even though speeds will initially be lower than current single core offerings.

Essencia Festival 2012 in São Paulo/
Our amiga Gilda Monreal, AKA Fiya, is one of the most progressive and active artists for social justice we know. She works in film, theatre and visual arts, where these days she focuses on graffiti and street art. With connections and projects on the go in Toronto, Montreal and across Latin America, she managed to also help run a giant international hip-hop and street art festival last month in São Paulo. We asked her to tell us all about it, so here's her take. The International Essencia Festival 2012 hit the streets of São Paulo, Brazil this past month. As the Director of International Relations and Multimedia, I was coming into this festival from the outside, from Canada. And I have to admit that I was overwhelmed, in the best way possible, with this festival, and that I'm still trying to assimilate the experience that was Essencia SP 2012. I can definitely say it was one of the most powerful large scale co-creations I have actualized so far with my sister Shalak (Elisa Monreal, Director of Essencia São Paulo 2012), and Brazilian brother-in law Smoky (Bruno Revitte, General Co-ordinator). Thankfully, Shalak got to Brazil earlier and worked her magic in São Paulo, laying the ground work for what would be one of the best experiences we've had.Each year this nomadic hip hop festival moves to a different country, creating a space for international artists to exchange knowledge and experience. Essencia also looks to celebrate the four elements in an effort to raise awareness about our natural resources. This year's theme was dedicated to Earth, and resulted in a powerful and beautiful ode to Mother Nature. This year united five continents and featured top artists from Australia, Brazil, Chile, Canada, France, Senegal, the Philippines, and the United States.In collaboration with Brazil-based artists and organizations, Essencia put on an intense week of hip hop concerts, b-boy competitions, art gallery exhibitions, youth workshops, and graffiti jams resulting in large scale murals around the city. With over 80 artists and 300 participants, the festival garnered international attention for its artistry, community engagement, and ability to unite international artists to raise awareness on Mother Earth.It is also important to note that Essencia is completely independent, grass roots, and auto financed with our hearts and souls. By hearts and souls, I mean that the Essencia Festival exists because we, the entire Essencia Arts Collective, believe that great things can be born from communities coming together and working to achieve a goal. And every time, Essencia has shown us that it connects with people, inspires them, and comes alive.This year, the one thing we did not predict would happen, and that we are so grateful for, is the impressive number of people in São Paulo who with open arms welcomed the festival. Dozens of artists, organizations, cultural centers, along with hundreds of participants supported, contributed to and helped to make this festival possible.This collaborative energy-synergy is what made Essencia come to life. It is also what created a unique space that went beyond a show case of artists, it became a space of connection between artists, communities and youth. In the last couple of days of the festival there were moments where public tears and hugs were shared (of grown men and women), and it became clear that the festival had become more about unity, education, community empowerment, and love.For the trust, sincerity and energy that each artist and participant gave, we are ever so grateful, it was a gift for us.

Connection and Empowerment through Ancestral Skills
Mission Statement:
The goal of Buckskin Revolution is helping people feel connected to their wildest, freest selves, to their human community, and to the living world around them. It is to teach them the skills to gather and create the things they need for daily living- clothing, shelter, food, containers and more. It's about helping people feel empowered to choose a life for themselves rather than feeling trapped in the system. While all of these skills can be considered survival skills, the goal of Buckskin Revolution is not merely to teach people how to survive, but rather how to live well and how to thrive!
We offer education in a variety of ancestral, off-grid living and primal life skills through workshops, books, videos and on line courses, and make and sell tools, tool kits, sewing kits and more.
The Buckskin Revolution Youtube channel launched May 2019 to increase access to all that we do. Subscribe today here or at the link below.

See what I've been up to lately by following me on Instagram @buckskin_revolution
Or following the
Buckskin Revolution Facebook Page
My name is Woniya Thibeault, and I am the woman behind Buckskin Revolution.
Ancestral skills have been my passion since I was a teenager.
I grew up in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains with parents who got me out hiking in them as often as possible. A love for the natural world has always been a part of me, as has a drive to make things with my own two hands, and a longing for the lifestyles of pre-colonization and pre-industrial revolution peoples. Discovering skills gatherings and a community of people who practiced and taught ancestral skills when I nineteen years old opened up my world and inspired me to devote myself to these skills. I have been studying, practicing and teaching them since the mid 1990s. With both a masters degree in Environmental Science and a hands on education in ancestral skills, I strive to combine knowledge of the natural world with the physical skills of our human ancestors.
I teach a wide range of topics, but I call my business Buckskin Revolution because helping people learn to sew beautiful, durable buckskin clothing from brain tanned buckskin has long been a specialty of mine. This is not only because it is an amazing and magical material, but because of what it does for the wearer and what it represents.
Wearing buckskin is a deeply sensory experience- the feel of it on your skin, the sight of it, its smoky smell in your nose, It is a reminder, a link to our human past. We can all trace our lineage back to ancestors who wore buckskin, or something very similar. It speaks to that place inside us that remembers what it feels like to know the world around us intimately, to shape the substance of our lives from the raw materials around us. Wearing it reminds us what it is to be human and to feel connected to the wild within and around us.
The Buckskin Revolution is not just making buckskin clothing, or harvesting wild foods or survival skills, it is about inspiring and enabling people to do more for themselves and to be freer, healthier, wilder, more content and more connected human beings.
Viva la revolution!

REV. F. LEWIS, of Granada
We have an instance of a fresh date of their episcopal zeal for the Protestant religion in the reign of King James II., who only endeavored to compel them to order his proclamation for liberty of conscience, to be read in all the churches. But the world knows what success he met with, and the history of the seven golden candlesticks, will never be forgotten. Their zeal threw the whole nation into a flame, and Whitehall became soon after too warm for that unfortunate prince. If, therefore, Protestancy was the religion established by Christ and his Apostles, and professed in the infancy of the Church, can we imagine the good primitive bishops, who were so ready to lay down their lives for the Church, were not full as zealous against Popery, as those of the Church of England ? Or that they were not ready to stand in the gap, and oppose the torrent with their utmost strength, when they saw it flowing in upon the Church ?
But such an imagination being wholly groundless, it follows, that what I have undertaken to prove, is an undeniable truth'; viz.: That the first supposed change from Protestancy to Popery, could not be effected with less difficulty, than the second, from Popery to Protestancy. Nay, to speak naturally, the difficulty to effect it, and by consequence, the opposition made to it, must have been much greater for the reasons I have given.
Now, no man of any reading can be so ignorant, as not to know with what difficulty and opposition the second change called the reformation was begun, carried on, and at last effected. Innumerable histories are filled with ample relations of the obstinate and bloody wars it occasioned in Germany, France, the Low-Countries, and other kingdoms and states. They all tell us with what vigor it was opposed by Leo X., and the following popes; by the Emperor Charles V. Francis I. of France, and his successors, and even by Henry VIII. under whom great numbers suffered in Smithfield for that cause. Finally, the history of the council of Trent, in which it was condemned, is known by all men of learning, so that no man can doubt of the truth of a fact so particularized and circumstantiated in all histories written upon that subject.
Here, then, I may justly demand of Protestants the same satisfactory account of the first supposed charge from Protestancy to Popery, For since they were always equally opposite, and the same causes produce naturally the same effects, no rational man will ever be made to believe that a change from Popery to Protestancy in a few kingdoms only should occasion such a number of remarkable events, cause so many bloody wars, such disturbances in the Church, and revolutions in the state; and that an entire change from Protestancy to Popery should not be attended with any of the like effects.
I desire, therefore, some tolerable account of the particular circumstances of this charge. As, who were the principal actors in it? In what age it happened? Whether it came in by degrees, or all at once? If all at once, then we must either suppose, that the whole Christian world went to bed Protestants, and rose Papists the next morning by unanimous consent: or that a formidable body of Papists, like Cadmus's armed men, rose out of the ground, and in a trice cut the throats of all true Protestants in the world: or finally, that Popery dropped from the clouds, and got full possession of the universal Church, without being perceived by any body, till the clear sighted Martin Luther made the happy discovery. For truly I can think of no other way to render it possible, that it should get admittance all at once, or without opposition, noise, or trouble.
This, however, being somewhat out of the way, and proper only for machinery exploits upon the theatre; I must rather suppose Protestants will say, it came in by degrees. But then it is reasonable they should give me a satisfactory answer to a few questions, and prove the truth of the facts from unquestionable records. For if Popery came in by degrees, it got footing first in one place, then in another: As the reformation did in Germany, Switzerland, and Geneva, before it crossed the seas to visit England. So that we must suppose there were Protestants and Popish states and kingdoms for some time in former ages, as there have been ever since the reformation. I ask, then, where it was that Popery made it first entrance ? Was it in the east, or west, south, or north? What kingdom, state, or nation abjured the Protestant religion first? Who was the first Popish bishop of Rome, emperor, or king? What Protestant and Popish kings were contemporary ? What wars happened in their several reigns about religion ? What books were written for and against Popery ? What Protestant councils were called to condemn it ? And lastly, by what name were those, who adhered to the ancient Protestant religion, distinguished from the other who embraced Popery ? for I am sensible that Protestants and Papists are names invented since the reformation. And since it is highly improbable, that two such different communions, or religions, as those of the reformation, and the Church of Rome, should be at any time in the world, without names to distinguish them; because even the most inconsiderable sect never wanted a name, I should be glad to know what their names were in former ages, viz.: From the time that Popery first got footing in some particular state, or kingdom, till its full establishment in the universal visible Church. I could ask a great many more puzzling questions, but I should be satisfied, if Protestants can but answer the few I have put, and produce unquestionable authority for proof of their answers: As Papists can do to prove every material circumstance of the reformation ; and as both Protestants and Papists can do in reference to any considerable heresy, that ever was broached in the Church. But if they can give no tolerable account of the aforementioned particulars, as I am sure they must be conscious to themselves they cannot; if there never was an historian in the world, that wrote the history of the wonderful change from Protestancy to Popery, under whatever names you please; as there are hundreds, who have written the history of the reformation ; then it is reasonable to conclude, that the supposed change is a mere fiction, and that any grub-street tale has full as good a foundation.
I doubt not, however, but that by the art of invention, some ingenious hypothesis may be made; an imaginary scheme may be formed to show the metaphysical possibility of a thing, that never has happened, nor ever will happen. But this way will not do. I demand not the invention of a fruitful brain, but plain facts, and good history to prove them. Nothing less will satisfy me, nor indeed any man, who is not fond of being deceived. I desire to know the true history of Popery; I mean not that Popery which was established every where upon the ruins of paganism, whereof I have already given a very good account; but of that Popery, which we suppose to be the younger sister of Protestantism. I desire to know when and where this unfortunate babe, so hated and persecuted by the best natural people in Europe, was born, where she was nursed, who were her parents and masters. What memorable adventures she met with, when she made her first appearance. By what trick, or slight she got the inheritance away from Protestancy, her supposed elder sister, nay and maintained the full possession of it for many hundred years. In a word, how she came to be mistress of the whole Christian world. These are the most material points, for which I demand authentic history: and till I have some good account of them, I shall continue with a very safe and easy conscience in my belief, that the religion, which now is called Popery, is as ancient as Christianity, and that it never had any other beginning, than what Christ and his Apostles gave it.

Jeremy Pruitt, unleash the hounds!
On the coaching front, Rankin reinforced the offseason theme: Simpler is better, thanks to new defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt.
"Pruitt just simplified everything. It's just so simple. It's night and day," Rankin said. "We knew the play, but then it was so much going on. The plays this year are so much simpler."
C'mon, admit the idea of watching the defense line up for a play without any frantic gesturing gets you a little excited. It's okay.
Although Grantham's towel will be missed.

Victoria Hearst
Miss Victoria Hearst is the youngest of five girls. From childhood her aspiration was to become an actress/singer/dancer (known in show business as a "triple threat"). She spent years training in all three disciplines. She danced with a group in the San Francisco Bay Area, took voice lessons, performed in high school theatrical productions, and was part of a mime troupe. At the age of 18, she moved to Los Angeles where she took acting classes, continued to dance, and joined an improvisational comedy group. She also took karate classes and received her black belt five years later.
Victoria guest-starred in two episodes of a popular television series in Japan, speaking both English and Japanese. She also had a featured role as a psychiatrist in the American T.V. soap opera "General Hospital." However, for all the training and yearning to someday be on "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous," GOD had other plans for Victoria's life.
It was a bad relationship with a man that caused Victoria to say the sinner's prayer and give her life to Jesus Christ in December, 1995. Victoria broke off her relationship with the man, let go of her own plans for her life, and, in her own words, prayed, "GOD, I don't know what I'm doing anymore. You take the wheel. You drive. I'll go wherever You lead."
The LORD led Victoria on her first trip to Israel in 1996. She met Dr. Billye Brim who became her mentor and "Christian Mom." The LORD then sent Victoria to Washington, D.C.'s National Cathedral School (her great-grandmother Phoebe Hearst was instrumental in its founding) where she taught karate, choreographed dances for the cathedral, and learned about spiritual warfare. In the Spring of 1997, GOD told Victoria to go to Colorado where she owned a vacation house, live there, and teach an after-school jazz dance program at Ridgway School to middle school girls. During that time, Victoria opened a Christian bookstore called Praise Productions Christian Store.
Randolph Hearst passed away in December, 2000, at the age of 85. He had accepted Jesus during his marriage to his third wife who was a born-again Christian! The LORD instructed Victoria to use her inheritance to buy a 10,000-square-foot building in Ridgway called the "Big Barn" (built by the late actor Dennis Weaver as a dance hall/saloon). The community had been in need of a youth center for a long time, so Victoria thought, "LORD, You want to make this a youth center." GOD said, "No. It's going to be a ministry, and I'm going to put you at the head of it." Victoria's reaction was, "I'm sorry. WHAT?!" She telephoned Billye Brim, told her what the LORD had said, got Billye's advice, and obeyed GOD.
Victoria formed Praise Him Ministries in 2001, which includes Praise Productions Christian Store and Ridgway Christian Center.
Victoria sits on the board of Billye Brim Ministry/Prayer Mountain in the Ozarks and Operation Blessing Japan. She is a member of the OR Movement World Leadership Council. The OR Movement is the leading non-governmental organization in the development of Jewish communities in the Negev and Galilee regions of Israel as part of strengthening and securing Israel's future.

How to Make Adjustments in the Camera Raw Converter
The idea behind using the raw converter is that you want to get the tonal range and brightness values set to an optimum before opening the image in Photoshop Elements 11. You'll find your editing tasks, such as adjusting color and brightness, much easier in Elements if your image starts somewhere in the ballpark of a good tonal range.
Follow these steps to make adjustments:
1Open an image in the raw converter.
Either use a Camera Raw file or choose File→Open As and open a JPEG or TIFF file. In the Open As drop-down list from within the Open As dialog box, choose Camera Raw. (A long list of files supported follows the Camera Raw option.)
2Turn on Shadow and Highlight Clipping.
Click the up-pointing arrows above the histogram in the right pane of the Camera Raw converter. Clicking the arrows turns on the clipping views.
The raw converter displays settings controls in a precise order for making adjustments. You begin at the top of the pane and work down. After finishing adjustments in the Basic pane, you next visit the Detail pane.
3Select an option from the White Balance drop-down list.
For most images, just choose Auto. If you have a radical shift in white balance, such as the one shown, then make a choice for another temperature setting that brings the image into an acceptable white balance. For the most part, just choose Auto for images that don't have a radical shift in white balance.
4Move the Exposure slider to bring the overall exposure into an acceptable setting.
You visually examine the photo, looking for an overall brightness without too much regard for the shadow and highlight clipping. You can recover the detail later. But realize that you will need to return to this slider after making other adjustments.
5Adjust Contrast.
Move the Contrast sliders to add some contrast. You're looking for obtaining some snap in the image and correcting for a flat appearance.
6Make decisions for clipping.
In many photos, you can't recover all shadow and highlight data. You'll see clipping often, especially with images taken with lower-end cameras. You may find that you have to let go of the idea for capturing all the highlight (or shadow detail). Look for general overall exposure being within an acceptable range.
7Move the Black slider.
You want to look for a rich black in your photo. If the blacks look dirty and dingy, move the black slider to the right just far enough so that not much clipping occurs. If a few small areas are clipped, you want to leave the clipping in favor of adding richness in some of the black areas of your photo.
8Adjust the Clarity.
Zoom in to your image to 400% or more by using the Zoom tool or pressing Ctrl+plus sign (+) or Command+plus sign (+). Move the Clarity slider to a setting where the image pixels appear smooth without a speckled look.
9Adjust Vibrance.
Be careful with the Vibrance adjustment. Make a small adjustment to make the photo appear vibrant but don't overdo it.
10Make Detail adjustments.
Click the Detail button at the top of the panel. Be certain your view is 400% or more. These adjustments need to be made in a zoomed in view to see results of your edits.
Move sliders for sharpening and eyeball the results. Adjust the Luminance and Color Sliders in zoomed-in views to see a smoothing of the image and lower grain effect.
11Preview the results.
Return to the Basic pane by clicking the Basic icon at the top of the pane. Deselect Preview and then select it again to toggle the preview. Look over your results. You may need to return to a few adjustments to fine-tune your corrections.
12When you're finished in the raw converter, click the Open Image button.
The photo opens in Photo Editor, where you can use the Enhance tools to fine-tune the brightness, contrast, and color correction.
When moving sliders in the raw converter, you can double-click any slider to return that adjustment to the default.

In between downpours yesterday me and James decided to go for a walk through Hylands Park.
It felt great to get out and about. It was so peaceful, I'm guessing most other people were couped up indoors due to the rain.
The weather has been rubbish in England and it doesn't look set to improve any time soon.
We had decided to go for a walk whatever the weather just to get out, we just so happened to be lucky in catching a sunny spell.
It definitely beats being stuck indoors, that's for sure.
Hope you all had a lovely weekend, despite the showers we have been having here in England.

Troubled bank industry continues California lobbying
Banks that received billions of dollars in federal bailout funds continue spending heavily to lobby in the state Capitol against increased regulation of their industry.
Players in the California financial industry spent $4.4 million lobbying state lawmakers in the first quarter of this year, just $500,000 less than the $4.9 million they spent in the first quarter of 2007, before the nation's financial meltdown.
Bank of America Corp., which has received $15 billion from the federal Troubled Asset Relief Program, has increased lobbying expenditures in California year over year, from about $24,000 in the first quarter of 2005 to about $80,000 in the first quarter of this year.
BofA representatives attribute the increase to the recent hiring of support counsel, and the company's greater presence and exposure to risk in California after the purchase of Countrywide Financial and Merrill Lynch. The company is trying to cut costs, spokeswoman Shirley Norton said, but it's important to have a say in policy decisions at the Capitol.
"You want to have an opportunity to have your side heard," Norton said.

What is the book Heavens On Earth about?
It is focused on the issue that haunts human race since the ancient times – that our mundane human existence sooner or later is going to come to an end. What's awaiting us after death? Heaven for the righteous or hell for sinners? Or is it just a long, dreamless sleep? Many religious scholars, scientists, and philosophers tried to answer this question. After all, the very meaning of our lives depends on it.
It's our ancestors realizing their mortality what led us to the emergence of myth and religion, ideas about resurrection and reincarnation. Today, it encourages many to aspire for the better and meaningful life that is worth living. We don't know what is there after we die, but while we're still here and have the will, we're able to change for the better.
Michael Shermer, the founder of The Skeptics Society and its "Skeptic" magazine, was a convinced Christian in his youth, but in his University days, he changed his views dramatically. He made his goal to fight against superstition – all those pseudo-scientific statements, myths and misconceptions, including the ones which accompanied humanity since its emergence.
The book explores the concepts of paradise and the immortality of the soul. What is heaven or paradise? For some, it's a place where we end up after we die, of course, if we lived a righteous life. Some people think that heaven and hell are inside of us. It could be a distant past or a beautiful future, or it could be a utopian paradise which can be built with the help of like-minded people.
Theologians or gullible people of the past weren't the only ones to be interested in immortality. Today, science is enthralled in slowing down the process of aging. Cryonics, cloning, the methods of prolonging lifecycle and the other means of possible achievement of immortality are very relevant in today's society. Shermer doesn't believe in any of them, and he proceeds to explain why. However, he has faith in humanity as a species, our progress, and prosperity, our drive to succeed.
Summary and 10 Ideas of Heavens On Earth
Idea №1. We're aware of the possibility of death, but we cannot imagine being absent in this world.
Idea №2. Many people think of death as a transition to another form of life.
Idea №3. In monotheistic religions, a heaven is a special place, another dimension, where the souls of the righteous go after they die.
Idea №4. Many spiritual mentors of our time see heavens being within us.
Idea №5. You cannot prove the existence of the afterlife with reincarnation, nor "going beyond the body" under the influence of chemicals.
Idea №6. You cannot prove to communicate with the spirit world or with the ghosts of dead people.
Idea №7. If you clone a person or freezing his brain, you're not resurrecting him.
Idea №8. Many are inclined to see heavens as something of a past, but there was nothing.
Idea №9. The future paradise in the form of utopian society also does not exist.

On the one hand, this book is written by a convinced and a consistent skeptic. There are many of them among former religious people like Shermer was in his youth. He denies all kinds of miracles, naive beliefs, prejudices, and delusions. On the other hand, the book is full of faith in humanity, its possibilities, which are far from being exhausted. It believes in the endless beauty of a natural, not imaginary, world. We are not allowed to live forever, and perhaps we ate not allowed to go to heaven or into some other unknown form of the afterlife.
Shermer doesn't reject such an opportunity; he only considers it unproven. We are unique, we cannot be copied, and we live only once. We should be grateful for the opportunity to exist, to love and receive love; to understand the world and thrive for new heights of progress. This skeptical book is full of endless optimism and admiration for life.
Author Michael Shermer
Michael Brant Shermer is an American historian and popularizer of science, founder of the Society of Skeptics, and also the editor-in-chief of the journal, primarily devoted to the investigation of pseudoscientific and supernatural claims.
Since April 2001, he also maintains a monthly column in the journal Scientific American. Shermer claims that at one time he was a Christian fundamentalist, but left the faith while studying at the university.
Unlike many scientists, Shermer conducts active public discussions with representatives of pseudoscientific theories, in particular, with Holocaust deniers. On this subject, he wrote the book "Denying History".

The President is being systematically controlled and isolated by the very people he brought in to support him. Consider this incredible action by the White House staff to limit information available to the President which was publicly (and arrogantly) revealed yesterday in Politico.
It's a quiet effort to make Trump conform to White House decision-making norms he's flouted without making him feel shackled or out of the loop. In a conference call last week, Kelly initiated a new policymaking process in which just he and one other aide — White House staff secretary Rob Porter, a little-known but highly regarded Rhodes scholar who overlapped with Jared Kushner as an undergraduate at Harvard — will review all documents that cross the Resolute desk.
The new system, laid out in two memos co-authored by Kelly and Porter and distributed to Cabinet members and White House staffers in recent days, is designed to ensure that the president won't see any external policy documents, internal policy memos, agency reports and even news articles that haven't been vetted. [Emphasis added]. Kelly's deputy, Kristjen Nielson, is also expected to assume an integral role.
The "Kelly" alluded to in the Politico article is General John F. Kelly, Trump's newly-appointed Chief of Staff. Prior to his appointment, General Kelly served as Director of Homeland Security. And who is Kristjen Nielson, the staffer who is "expected to assume an integral role" in controlling the information that reaches the President? She is, among other things, Chair of the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Council on Risk and Resilience. In other words, Kristjen Nielson is a thorough-going Globalist. All of the people named in the Politico piece (as well as many other key administration appointees) are integral parts of "The Swamp" that Trump promised to drain and they have a mission.
This White House Fifth Column's ill-concealed goal is to destroy Trump's relationship with the people who elected him by creating anger and a feeling of resigned hopelessness. The tactic has the potential to be spectacularly successful. I'm embarrassed to offer in evidence as Exhibit "A" my own initial reaction to Trump's Afghanistan speech (see my last blog post).
Regular visitors to this page know that I have been a Trump supporter from the start of his campaign. Whatever his imperfections might be, I liked him because he was NOT an Establishment politician. He promised to "drain the swamp", ridding us of the corrupt revolving-door network of professional politicians, bureaucrats, judges, contractors, and lobbyists that robs us blind as it systematically demolishes what little remains of our constitutional republic. Trump's commitment to ending senseless, unwarranted and frequently illegal military interventions around the world was important to me.
Just to be clear on this last point, I am emphatically not a pacifist. I served this nation under arms for five years as a member of the 1st Cavalry Division, the 7th Infantry Division, and the XVIII Airborne Corps. I did two tours in Korea. Close friends of mine have died in combat. Two of my sons are retired career military men who served in war zones stretching from the former Yugoslavia to Iraq and Afghanistan. I believe that defense of the nation and her people is among Washington's most important responsibilities. I also believe that sending brave young Americans off to die in worthless wars is among its most egregious failures.
"The destructive cycle of intervention and chaos must finally come to an end," Candidate Trump proclaimed, promising that the United States would be pulling back from conflicts around the world that are not in America's vital national interest. Then came the President's disastrous August 21st speech announcing what was billed as a "new" approach to win the war in Afghanistan, completely reversing his anti-interventionist campaign promises.
On cue, just as planned by the White House Fifth Column, I and many others reacted with fury to the President's Afghanistan policy speech for the reasons outlined in David Stockman's brilliant article. Stockman is two-term former Congressman who served as Director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Reagan. As he passionately (and accurately) asks:
...for crying out loud – don't these fools recognize that it is their bombs, missiles, drones and door-busting troops which have created most of the world's terrorists? And that until Washington stops raining death from the sea, sky and land, the supply of fanatical young men in black turbans toting lethal weapons or wearing suicide vests will not diminish.The President's apparent failure to understand the linkage between cause and effect was not the most troubling aspect of the speech. Its text was filled with misinformation, disinformation, half-truths and outright lies, all obtained through the advisors who have gained control of the Administration's military and diplomatic machinery and are now driving the nation into disaster at high speed.
On this blog, the day after the speech, I accused the President of betraying the millions of Americans who had voted him into office and theorized that there were only four possible explanations for his behavior:
- The President has grown in office and learned that his campaign promises were wrong.
- The President is being blackmailed.
- The President and/or his family are being threatened with physical harm.
- The entire Trump drama was fraudulent from the beginning, a fiendishly clever Deep State "black op" intended to demoralize public opposition to Globalism.
Upon reflection and further investigation, there is a fifth possibility, one that provides an even more likely explanation. Like most successful executives, Donald Trump achieved his success as a delegator, not a hands-on "doer". Successful executives surround themselves with the most qualified experts they can find and rely upon them to make day-to-day decisions and to formulate decision options for the executive's consideration at the policy level. As his critics are quick to point out, Donald Trump had no previous experience in government as an executive. Understandably, he decided to apply the same formula that worked so well for him in the business world to the Presidency; hire the best possible experts and put them to work.
Trump's problem was that he needed experts in complex and unfamiliar fields of federal government policy. He instructed his campaign team to find those experts and, as this article explains, "Trump Team's Go-To Vetting Process Was 'A Quick Google Search'". Not surprisingly, Google's "best possible experts in the fields of federal government policy" all turned out be denizens of "The Swamp".
This would be funny if the result was not so tragic. While the fifth possibility does not put us or the world in a better situation, it does at least offer some hope that Donald Trump is simply an honest man who has been trapped by his decision formula and dishonest advisors. Unfortunately, the explanation does not provide a clear path to a peaceful solution.

It's heartening to know that while we sat through one of the emptiest synthetic hit movies of the 1980's, the seeds of parody were being sown. It's also nice to see that the three-headed Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker directorial entity, the one responsible for "Airplane!," has split into three fully formed talents without any apparent loss of verve.
Mr. Abrahams has directed his brazen, funny "Hot Shots!" with much the same glee that shows up in David Zucker's "Naked Gun 2 1/2," and with a little something extra: a satirical view of other movies, one that might have been shaped by Mad magazine. When the fighter planes of "Hot Shots!" are being readied for flight, in the kind of souped-up inspirational montage that was a "Top Gun" specialty, there are suitcases to load and marshmallows to roast in the flaming engines. And when the planes, now airborne, engage in dizzying swoops and turns, watch out for Garfield dolls stuck to windshields and candy wrappers flying loose around the cockpit.
"Hot Shots!" follows the basic outline of "Top Gun," with the story of daring young Topper Harley (Charlie Sheen) and his fellow pilots, but it is more than happy to indulge in the occasional detour. Topper himself is first found living in seclusion in a tepee and using an Indian name that translates, he says sternly, as "Fluffy Bunny Feet." When he converses solemnly with an Indian elder, those viewers who ignore the subtitled dialogue will find the actors reciting the names of some of Michael Jackson's siblings, with appropriate Indian pronunciation.
Once Topper finds his way to the Air Force, the film has ample opportunity to cram sight gags into the corners of the frame, like the jogging recruits chanting the song "Dreidl," or the Amish extras who turn up (no doubt in honor of Kelly McGillis's performance in "Witness") in a nightclub scene. The air base also features Lloyd Bridges as the kind of officer who answers the question "How are you?" with: "Hawaii? I'm supposed to be in California."
There is more -- much more -- where this came from, most of it in a slightly more movie-minded and less schoolboyish spirit than Mr. Zucker's current hit. In choosing to sustain a feature-length parody of a familiar film, Mr. Abrahams and his co-writer, Pat Proft, forfeit the chance to be as unmitigatedly manic as "The Naked Gun 2 1/2" and risk the occasional slow spot. But they also lay the groundwork for more sustained comic caricatures.
One of the best of these involves nice, clean-cut Pete Thompson (William O'Leary), the obviously ill-fated pilot who explains sweetly that his friends call him "Dead Meat." One ominous day, he arrives at the airfield with his loving wife ("Things just couldn't be better for us," one of them says about the marriage). He also claims to have a solution to global warming and new data about President Kennedy's assassination, but explains that he'll save all that for after the flight. While it's not necessary to have seen "Top Gun" to appreciate such a scene, the memory of that film's false piety and mechanical plotting does a lot to enhance the even more false and mechanical aspects of this one.
Charlie Sheen brings just the right exaggerated seriousness to his ace pilot's role, and Cary Elwes perfectly captures the ingenue arrogance of Topper's handsome rival. Jon Cryer, as a pilot with major eyesight problems, also displays expert deadpan timing, especially when he delivers the film's most uproarious line. Valeria Golino, as the beautiful psychologist who becomes Topper's love interest and also winds up singing a torch song atop a piano a la "The Fabulous Baker Boys," is also slyly comic and a very good sport. It should be pointed out that in this film, unlike the one with Michelle Pfeiffer, the top of the grand piano on which the actress sings happens to be propped open.
Among the other satirical flourishes to be found here, interspersed at wonderfully unlikely moments, are a send-up of the ice cube-enhanced sex scene in "9 1/2 Weeks," which in this case involves a full breakfast; a glimmer of "Marathon Man," and a montage revealing just what "Rocky," "Superman" and "Gone With the Wind" have in common. Also worth noting: a moment when saluting pilots are given the "at ease!" order and instantly assume the poses of a casual fashion layout, complete with football and flying muffler.
The credits for "Hot Shots!" include a partial brownie recipe and a few suggestions for what to do after the film is over. This is evidence that Mr. Abrahams has no idea when to stop. It is to be hoped that he never will.
"Hot Shots!" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). It includes sexual suggestiveness and mild profanity. Hot Shots! Directed by Jim Abrahams; written by Pat Proft and Mr. Abrahams; cinematographer, Bill Butler; edited by Jane Kursons and Eric Sears; music by Sylvester Levay; production designer, William A. Elliott; produced by Bill Badalato; released by 20th Century Fox. Running time: 85 minutes. This film is rated PG-13. Sean "Topper" Harley . . . Charlie Sheen Lieut. Cmdr. Block . . .

E-commerce is an increasingly popular field. More and more people are turning to the Internet to start their own businesses at low cost, and a store is a basic and easy way to give that a shot. In the past, setting up a website and building an online store were quite complicated tasks. They required advanced knowledge of computer programming and web design, so it was hard for ordinary people to get involved. Now, however, there are many automated tools, templates, and platforms that take care of much of the grunt work, allowing you to make the executive decisions. One of the most popular platforms on which to build an online store is Magento. Magento has many advantages, including its ease of use, its excellent documentation, and the wide range of available plugins that let you enhance and extend the capabilities of the platform. In this post, we will walk though the basic steps for you to setup Magento and create your own store. As user-friendly as the process is, it does take some time and guidance to do it properly. You can, of course, try to set everything up on your own, but it is sure to be a much smoother and faster experience if you follow this guide instead.
Starting Off
The first thing to do is understand the hosting and domain you control. For this guide, we will assume that you already own a domain and use a hosting service. If you don't have those two elements yet, or aren't sure what they are, then you should consult a guide about what hosting is and why it is important before continuing on with this guide. The most likely outcome is that your hosting service has a control panel where you can dictate many different options and make changes to your site. The most common kind of control panel is called cPanel- many hosting services use it or a slightly-modified version of it to create a control panel for you. In any case, this guide will assume that you have cPanel. If you do not, try to follow along as best you can and adapt the instructions to your control panel- most of them tend to be pretty similar, because they all need to provide the same functionality. The first thing you need to do is long into your control panel.
Installing Magento
You should have an icon area in your control panel in the central or right panel that is called "Software/Services." Different panels might have a slightly different name for this icon area. You should see an icon called QuickInstall. It's a software tool that provides you with a list of software, and QuickInstall automatically downloads and installs anything you want from that list. Different hosts might have different installers, so the name could be different. In any case, click on your installer and look through the list until you see Magento. It should be in the e-commerce section. Select it and click the continue button.
Next, you have a choice to make about your domain. You can let Magento be installed at the root directory, so that your store is the first thing people see, or put in in a subdomain, such as www.mysite.com/myshop. The choice is yours, but many people prefer to leave it at the root so customers can find the shop easily. To leave it at the root, leave the box after your domain name blank. Fill in the rest of the information. Be sure that automatic upgrading is enabled- this will provide you with security and design updates. Also make sure that "use mod_rewrite" is enabled, because it makes your URLs easier to read. Click "Install Now." You may need to wait up to 48 hours until the site is fully prepared, so don't worry if it is not up right away. Once you can reach the site at the domain you specified, log in with your credentials. You have now installed Magento.
Setting Up Your Shop
The administrative panel of Magento is your hub, where you can start doing all the other tasks to setup Magento as a shop interface with real products. First, just explore. Look into the various menus and icons and see what is inside. That's a useful way to see for yourself how you can get things done. Here are a few short examples. To add new products, click the Add Product button in the upper right. This takes you to a series of screens where you fill out important attributes of the product, including its price and a description. To modify your products, go to the admin panel and click Catalog, then Manage Products. Here, you can add images, change attributes, add tags, and more. To set up payment methods, navigate through System, then Configuration, Sales, and Payment Methods, which brings you to the screen where you can add credit cards, Paypal, and other forms of payment. You can place restrictions on the cards you allow and the nations that can use each payment method if you want. If you pick Shipping Methods instead of Payment Methods, you can do something very similar for shipments.
Magento is easy to use and quite flexible, so if you need more functions you can find a plugin that will add them for you. The basic tools are simple, yet powerful. This tutorial got you through the hardest part, which was the installation, and introduced you to the most important menus and configuration areas in the store itself. The rest will come down to the vision you have for your particular store and how you want to execute it.

I'll let daughter decide which NFL team she's going to follow, even though she still has a Bears helmet her room and both of parents were ardent Bears fans.2 job during training camp.Adding two young pieces to try and mend the future is a step the right direction.The Wildcats average 26 yards per kick return and they are 23rd the nation all-purpose yards with 1.Hamels is currently 1 with of 4.The Grizzlies are 23rd the league defensive rating with 109, and their offensive rating of 105 is ranked 10th.
No Salesman.They have walked Womens Philipp Grubauer Jersey 3 men per 9 innings while striking out 9 per 9.Take #279 Minnesota Vikings +1 over Broncos Both head coaches have outstanding records the exhibition but we will side with Zimmer and his 13 record .Valuable Utah State Aggies Betting Trends The Utah State Aggies were against the over under last The Utah State Aggies were against the spread last year Important Wisconsin Badgers Betting Trends The Wisconsin Badgers were against the over under last The Wisconsin Badgers were against the spread last year Key Utah State Aggies Injuries No key injuries to report Key Wisconsin Badgers Injuries 08 17 LB Jack Cichy ACL out for Useful Offensive Statistics The Utah State Aggies were 102nd Division 1 points scored with 287 last year.We said we were going to do it like we do it at the bar each week, just on a bigger scale, said Daigle.I think it is a great defense for him to go against, being our defense is pretty complicated the looks and the schemes that we give.
That is more than what can be said about the Broncos, as after Case Keenum Keenum there is a Ke Clay Harbor Authentic Jersey Keen Keenum Keenum there is a Ke Keenum Keenum there is a Keenum Keenum there is a major drop-off talent.The bullpen has earned run average of 4 and they have given up 124 base hits on the year.Since then, he has pitched exclusively out of the bullpen and has pitched done pretty well that role.That says a lot.
I want him to outrun one of the things we have been working on the last three weeks, is throwing the ball ahead to him on the break at the 4, and tell him to attack the basket.I've still got limits that I know I can go http://www.authenticwildstore.com/-31-philipp-grubauer-jersey_c-459.html to and I'm actually looking forward to pushing the boundaries a little bit and getting the blood pumping.This one has a little bit more meaning to it, of course, but we did not play well.
They need a different approach this year and expect that to be the case tonight the Mile-High City.But, the truth is there's no need for reflexive hand-wringing about the decline of startups, particularly if by startups we mean new mom and pop subsistence startups.Broadcast media journalists can go and listen but TV cameras are not allowed.The Dodgers as a unit have 700 base hits, including 135 doubles and 93 homers.They are 1st the Atlantic Division.

It can not. I used the head of empty list error to draw a simile of why you would like to have a stack trace. I do not share your opinion that monadic call traces are not of much use. Your example looks a bit conspicuous to me. Consider a web application using HDBC to interface with a database, where a SQLError can arise and there is no way to find out where it is coming from. The safe-failure package (not officially released yet, but an early version is available in Hackage) provides monadic versions of several partial functions in the Prelude. An applicative interface is available which can make programming with those much more palatable. That means you can in effect obtain a stack trace for a head of empty list error. I would like, as much as anyone else, to see stack traces available for pure Haskell code. There are others already pursuing that goal, but as the situation stands now, stack traces are available only through expensive program transformations which cannot be used in production code. And I don't believe that situation is going to change in the close future. In contrast, monadic call traces have a simple implementation model by extending the bind operation with source locations. They are available now through the MonadLoc preprocessor which is not tied in any way to c-m-e. And moreover, they are unexpensive, can be used in production code, and can make your life much easier in many, many cases. I'm not sure if I managed to dispel your doubts, if not perhaps you could make your points more clear. Thanks, pepe
