Call it optimism.
Call it glass half-full.
Call it a positive attitude.
Because at the lowest common denominator, there's always ONE thing you can get out of everything.
This represents a sort of "takeaway attitude" you need to have about business, about life, about everything.
I call it Lowest Common Denominator Thinking.
For example, let's say you just spent the last three hours reading the latest best-selling marketing book.
And you thought it sucked.
Ask yourself, "Did I at least get ONE nugget, ONE idea, ONE quotation, ONE thing from that book?"
If the answer is yes, congrats! You've just discovered the Lowest Common Denominator. Which, when remembered, written down and applied, should be worth the price of the book and the time you spent reading it.
Here's another example. Let's say you just finished attending a lecture at your local college campus.
And you thought it sucked.
Similarly, ask yourself, "Well, it might have been boring, but the one thing I still took away was…"
If your answer is a worthwhile idea that wouldn't have popped into your mind without attending that lecture, good on ya! You've discovered the Lowest Common Denominator.
One final example.
You crawl into bad at about 11:30 PM.
And you thought your day sucked.
Ask yourself, "Yeah, but did I at least do ONE thing that was cool, help ONE person get better, accomplish ONE highly valuable activity or experience ONE moment that validated my existence?"
If your answer is yes, prepare to sleep well. Because you've discovered the lowest common denominator.
Here are a few more Phrases That Payses to enhance your LCD Thinking:
"Well, if anything, at least I learned…"
"The one thing I got out of that was…"
"Although it wasn't my favorite, I still found a way to…"

Rhema and Logos
I constantly read about: "Prophesy your own future! The power is in your tongue," Uhhhh.. May I humbly remind you that our Lord has a plan for us?
He decides what He has in store for you for the sake of HIS name and HIS Kingdom!
When HE reveals to you HIS purpose as He did with Mary, you must follow the road as Mary walked!
Her response was: "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said."
Rhema ῥῆμα is a spoken Word of God! It is a seed planted in your spiritual womb!
You keep it under your heart until it is time for the birth! During this time of pregnancy, the seed is growing in your heart! Your spiritual womb!
You whisper the promise in your heart and mind and you keep it to yourself. And in that secret place where your spiritual child grows, you wait until it is time for the birth and people will see your baby.
The promise has come to pass! He who promised is faithful.
Now, the bottom-line is, you can prophesy your own future, as YOU think it must be… But the truth is, that YOUR KING and SAVIOR Yeshua (Jesus) the Holy One Of Israel, had a plan for you even when you were not aware of your existence. It is not about you or me, it is about Him and about His Kingdom!
We change His word today for our own benefit! But it will not work!
People pick a word out of the Bible, (LOGOS λέγω or WRITTEN WORD) they start prophesying about it and they say: "It will come to pass – no word of the Lord will come back in vain."
But this is the other way around! Only when it is a RHEMA word, if it is God's TIME and God's PLAN for YOUR life, then and only then it will come to pass.
I feel so sad when I hear people respond out of disappointment that God is not faithful anymore. Let us repent! Because the only one who is not faithful are we!
Abba I pray that you can forgive us, for turning YOUR WORD, upside down because we want to have what is convenient for us! Your ministers are not popular when they share your word in truth and simpleness.
Give them strength Abba for we must stand firm in these days where people cannot accept truth, but only want to hear words which tickle their ears!
May scales be removed from eyes, may walls be removed from hearts! May YOUR Kingdom come and YOUR will be done in Yeshua's Name, Amen!

The Tragi-Comedy of the Commons: Evolutionary Biology, Economics and Environmental Law
Like every culture, every discipline has a creation myth that defines its view of the world. Creation myths are important because they define what we see and what we fail to see. In recent years, environmental law in America has been dominated by a creation myth that subtly inculcates the perspective of economics. What follows is a different view of environmental law based on a view of human nature drawn from evolutionary biology. The evolutionary and the economic perspectives are not inconsistent, but complement one another by emphasizing different aspects of human nature.

I have a hard time keeping my mind reigned in and in tune with reality.
I do this. I do it often. Every day, probably.
I get this idea. Or feeling. Or premonition. And then I run with it. I see a job posting and, in my mind, I have it. I am writing my resignation letter in my head. I am buying a house with my substantial wage increase. I am skating a few mornings per week because of my awesome new schedule. I am happy and fulfilled in my new job. I just need to get the job. Land the interview. Mail in my resume.
There's really nothing in my life that I don't do it for, honestly. I get an idea about what to buy Mom for her birthday and Meg is getting 500-word emails full of research an hour later. I decide I want to go on vacation and I'm scouring for hotel rooms before I find someone to go with. I consider a new career path and I'm buying books on Amazon and looking up graduate schools before the dust in my brain has a chance to settle.
I'm starting to realize that I am an exhausting person.
Or maybe it is just exhausting being me.

Anxiety and SleepUpdated on May 23, 2019
Getting nervous or worried is completely normal, but for a significant number of people — nearly 40 million adults in the United States, or roughly 18% of the population — anxiety doesn't relent and can negatively affect nearly every aspect of their well-being.
When this anxiety is overwhelming, a person may have an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders can take many forms and represent a complex set of conditions. Anxiety and sleeping problems frequently occur together: research indicates that anxiety harms sleep and that lack of sleep can contribute to anxiety.
This guide helps to untangle this topic and covers what anxiety is, the different types of anxiety disorders, how these conditions impact sleep, and tips for improving sleep and managing anxiety.
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or fear, and in many situations, it is completely normal. In anxiety disorders, though, these feelings do not go away and may worsen with time, leading to negative impacts on a person's emotional and physical health.
The term anxiety disorder is used to describe multiple specific types of anxiety. The causes, symptoms, and treatments may vary, but for all the types, anxiety can interrupt a person's everyday life and ability to manage work responsibilities and social and family relationships.
In general, people with anxiety disorders experience these negative feelings most days for a period of 6 months or longer. Symptoms of anxiety disorders include irritability, panic, a sense of impending danger, heightened heart rate, quickened breathing, excessive sweating, trembling, fatigue, gastrointestinal issues, problems concentrating, and difficulty sleeping.
The relationship between sleep and anxiety is complex. People with anxiety disorders frequently struggle with various aspects of sleep. They may have a harder time falling asleep, staying asleep, and getting sleep that truly feels restful. Concerns about sleep can become a source of anxiety, causing heightened stress when trying to go to bed. This fearful anticipation can itself become a contributor to sleeping problems.
At the same time, lack of sleep may influence how a person experiences anxiety. The causes of anxiety disorders are multifaceted, and it is difficult to say exactly to what extent poor sleep influences a person's risk of this condition. That said, research in 2013 at the University of California-Berkeley found that lack of sleep activates parts of the brain associated with anxiety and that this effect is greater in people who are prone to worrying.
Diagnosis of anxiety disorders is done in consultation with a doctor and a mental health professional. A doctor can determine if the symptoms are being caused by any other condition, and a psychiatrist can assess symptoms to determine whether they meet the criteria for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) or another type of anxiety.
Anxiety disorders do not always have a clear-cut cause. Various risk factors influence a person's chances of being affected by anxiety. Genetics and environmental factors may both play a role in these conditions.
Some known risk factors for anxiety include childhood shyness, exposure to stressful or traumatic events, and a history of anxiety in family members. In some cases, physical ailments, including thyroid, lung, and heart problems, can trigger anxiety, and use of or withdrawal from certain substances, like amphetamines, alcohol, or caffeine, may contribute to a person's risk.
Types of Anxiety
Coping with anxiety is difficult, and anxiety disorders are often misunderstood.
Not all people experience anxiety disorders in the same way. The causes, symptoms, and treatments can vary, and this has led to subcategories to differentiate specific types of anxiety. In addition, because they are distinct, they can have different effects on sleep.
To provide more background and nuance about anxiety, the following section offers details about the most common types of anxiety disorders.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Generalized anxiety disorder is marked by feelings of worry or fear. This is not a distinct phobia but an overarching sense of worry that does not go away even if stressors are reduced. Anxiety can be related to or provoked by various things including work obligations, relationships, finances, and health.
Symptoms of GAD include having these fearful feelings and can also involve a faster heart rate, stomach problems, hyperventilation, fatigue, and problems focusing. The condition is diagnosed if a person has 3 or more symptoms that last for 6 months or longer.
An estimated 6.8 million adults in the United States are affected by GAD. The condition is nearly twice as common in women, and many people who suffer from anxiety experience depression as well.
For many people, GAD begins with moderate feelings of worry or danger. However, people affected by this condition may feel trapped in a cycle of anxiety — worrying about worrying itself — that can worsen symptoms. The severity of GAD can vary with time, but if often affects a person's behavior. For example, someone may completely avoid situations that could potentially elicit anxiety.
Treatment of GAD frequently involves the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to change how a person perceives and relates to worry. CBT may be combined with other interventions ranging from medications to relaxation techniques to adjust a person's approach to their fears and concerns.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
As the name indicates, OCD relates to obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are mental and involve thoughts or images that provoke anxiety. Compulsions are actions taken to try to control or eliminate those negative thoughts. In any given person, these obsessions and compulsions can be multifaceted and may not be directly related.
Examples of obsessions include fears of germs, worries about losing things, recurring thoughts about traditionally taboo subjects, or the desire for precise order or symmetry. Examples of compulsions include frequent washing or cleaning, repeatedly checking things, repeatedly counting, meticulous organizing, or hoarding unneeded items.
The cause of OCD is unknown although there can be a genetic relationship as the condition appears to be more common in some families. The condition frequently begins younger in life with up to a third of cases beginning in childhood or teenage years. OCD affects roughly 2.2 million adults in the United States and it is as common in men as in women.
Frequent obsessions and compulsions are the primary symptom of OCD although a person with OCD may also have motor or vocal tics. If the obsessions and compulsions are frequent, time-consuming, and disruptive to a person's life, they may meet the clinical criteria for diagnosing OCD.
Treatment typically includes CBT and often involves Exposure and Response Prevention (EX/RP), a strategy that involves gradual exposure to obsessions to reduce the anxiety associated with them. Medications are also sometimes used to help treat OCD.
Panic Disorder
Panic disorder is a condition characterized by sudden and severe panic attacks. Panic attacks are episodes of intense fear and can include various symptoms. These can be both mental and physical including feelings of dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, heart palpitations, and gastrointestinal distress.
Panic attacks can occur at any time and can be unexpected or expected. In other words, they may or may not be related to a specific trigger.
Panic attacks are extremely distressing. As a result, people who experience them may worry about having another attack. This can lead to broader anxiety and/or disruptive changes in behavior to try to prevent panic attacks.
Experiencing panic attacks alone does not constitute panic disorder. It is when a person has had repeated panic attacks and has experienced anxiety or behavior changes related to them that they can be clinically diagnosed with panic disorder.
It is estimated that panic disorder affects around 6 million adults in the United States. It is more common in women than in men, and it often begins in the teenage years or in early adulthood. To date, there is no clearly identified cause of panic disorder or panic attacks. It may have a genetic component based on observed family histories, but research is still ongoing to identify specific causes.
Treatment for panic disorders generally involves counseling and can include medication as well. CBT may be used to try to change how a person reacts when a panic attack begins. Over time, this may reduce both the frequency and severity of these attacks.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
PTSD is a mental health condition that many people experience after they have gone through a stressful or traumatizing situation or event. PTSD can begin shortly after a traumatic event has occurred or can arise many years later.
PTSD affects an estimated 7.7 million adults in the U.S. The most common triggers for PTSD include rape, childhood sexual abuse, and serving in combat. The condition is more common in women than in men.
The symptoms of PTSD include negative feelings, reliving the traumatic event in nightmares or flashbacks, avoiding potential triggers, and hyperarousal, which is a sense of being perpetually on alert. These feelings can have both mental and physical effects, and insomnia is also a commonly reported symptom of PTSD. Overall, symptoms may not be consistent and can vary over time in both their severity and frequency.
Treatment for PTSD frequently involves the use of CBT which may involve confronting or reframing the experience of trauma. It can include coping and relaxation strategies and may be combined with medications as part of an overall treatment plan.
Social Anxiety Disorder
Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) involves extreme shyness and self-consciousness in situations involving other people. SAD is distinct from just being timid. Some people are quieter or are more likely to get nervous in social situations, but with SAD, this concern becomes overwhelming and interferes with emotional health and social relationships.
Symptoms of SAD include feelings of significant discomfort in social settings. That discomfort may lead to avoidance of these settings altogether. Fears may be specific to certain people or situations or they may be general. When these feelings are persistent and disrupt everyday activities, they may be diagnosed as SAD.
SAD can produce physical symptoms as well. These include sweating, shaking, blushing, a racing heart rate, chest or stomach pains, nausea, headaches, vertigo, and shortness of breath. People with SAD may have limited social connections and may turn to alcohol or drugs to attempt to blunt their social anxiety. SAD can be present along with selective mutism, an anxiety disorder that involves not speaking in certain situations.
SAD affects 15 million adults in the U.S. but often begins in childhood. The average age of onset is around 13 years old, and the condition is as common in men as in women. The exact cause is unknown, but researchers believe that it likely involves genetic and environmental factors.
Treatment for SAD can include psychotherapy and/or medications. CBT is frequently employed to help people with this condition change their relationship to different interpersonal contexts. This can work to mitigate fears and enable a healthier orientation toward social interaction.
Phobias are intense and often disabling fears of a particular thing or situation. Specific phobias are believed to affect around 19 million adults in the United States, but they frequently start in childhood. The average age when specific phobias begin is 7 years old.
It is normal to be afraid of certain things, and having these fears does not constitute a specific phobia. With specific phobias, fears are extreme and can provoke profound anxiety. Exposure to what is feared, or even just thinking about it, may even provoke panic attacks. The fact that the fear may be irrational is irrelevant; a person with a specific phobia cannot control the fear regardless of how unlikely the risk may be.
This category of anxiety disorders is typically broken into three types.
- Agoraphobia involves fear of being in places where leaving is either extremely difficult or embarrassing. Examples include open spaces, enclosed spaces, public transportation, being in large crowds, or going outside of the home alone. People with agoraphobia typically have major fears of two or more of those places.
- Social phobia is the fear of social interactions and is also known as Social Anxiety Disorder that was described in the previous section.
- Specific phobias involve fears of a particular thing such as spiders (arachnophobia), snakes (ophidiophobia), or heights (acrophobia).
People with these phobias often go to great lengths to avoid any potential exposure to them, and this may interfere with daily living including work responsibilities and social relationships.
There is no clearly identified cause of specific phobias. Treatment depends on the specific person and phobia but commonly includes CBT and types of gradual exposure therapy. Medications and strategies for relaxation can also be part of a treatment plan for specific phobias.
How Anxiety Affects Sleep
Anxiety and not sleeping well are frequently co-existing problems. Knowing which of these problems is the true cause can be a challenge. Most often, this is a "chicken-and-egg" situation in which anxiety and sleep problems trigger and reinforce one another.
The prevalence of sleep problems among people with anxiety disorders is extremely high. Among people with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, insomnia is found in around 50% of patients. In U.S. veterans with PTSD who have served in recent foreign wars, rates of insomnia are reported to be between 90% and 100%. Sleep disturbances can be major problems in patients with OCD, SAD, and panic disorder as well.
Anxiety poses significant barriers to consistent, quality sleep. Virtually all sleep experts acknowledge the importance of sleep hygiene for getting a good night's rest. This hygiene involves habits and environments that promote healthy sleep. Many aspects of sleep hygiene involve creating calmness and comfort so that you can smoothly drift to sleep, but anxiety directly disrupts that kind of sleep-permissive context.
Excessive worrying can keep the mind racing even as a person is trying to relax and go to bed. With preoccupations flooding their thoughts, it may be impossible for a person to get to sleep in the first place. If they wake up in the middle of the night, worries may come rushing back, making it difficult to stay asleep through the night. Sleeping in fits and starts can layer frustration and fatigue on top of anxiety.
For people with PTSD or specific phobias, nightmares, flashbacks, or other visualizations can interrupt sleep and may make someone afraid of going to sleep at all. This reflects a broader challenge of anticipatory anxiety in which just thinking about sleep difficulties like insomnia and nightmares makes a person even more nervous about bedtime.
In some cases, anxiety disorders coexist with other mental health conditions like depression that are frequently associated with insomnia. Anxiety can coexist with physical ailments as well, and some of these conditions can exacerbate sleeping problems. For example, many veterans with PTSD have chronic pain that prevents getting comfortable enough to sleep well.
People with anxiety and insomnia commonly turn to alcohol or other controlled substances to try to self-medicate. Unfortunately, this can backfire in several ways. While alcohol or sedatives may help someone fall asleep, they can reduce the depth of sleep by interrupting the sleep cycle. They can affect breathing at night and increase a person's risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea. And they can be habit-forming, creating a dependence that makes sleep even more difficult when their use is stopped.
At the same time, sleeping problems may contribute to problems with anxiety. Regular sleep deprivation has widespread effects on the mind and body that can reduce overall well-being and mood. Research has shown that this can have a direct influence on anxiety.
In a study at UC-Berkeley, it was found that lack of sleep triggered a 30% increase in anxiety. This is believed to be because reduced sleep generates more activity in parts of the brain that are associated with nervousness and fear. By accelerating these types of thoughts, sleeping problems appear to heighten the risk of anxiety in precisely the people who may already be predisposed to it. Lack of sleep may make feelings of anxiety and attendant symptoms more severe and more frequent.
While it may be impossible to say exactly which comes first among sleep problems and anxiety, it is clear that they can be mutually reinforcing in a negative way, and it comes as no surprise that anxiety and not sleeping are commonly described as co-occurring.
At the same time, the relationship between anxiety and sleep leaves room for hope because taking steps to address one can have positive effects on the other. It may take time and focused effort, but there are strategies that can reduce anxiety and improve sleep.
How to Get to Sleep When You Have Anxiety
Anxiety and insomnia can be challenging and frustrating. There is no simple therapy that resolves these problems for everyone, and it may take trial-and-error to find the approach that works best for you.
Getting Help
Diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders almost always require working with a health professional who can review your situation and develop a plan to improve it.
If you have noticed symptoms of anxiety, talk with your family doctor. Your doctor can make sure that those symptoms are not being caused by an underlying health problem, and they can also try to identify other causes of any sleeping problems that you may have.
Working with a psychiatrist plays an integral role in coping with anxiety. A trained counselor can put a name to your specific struggles and reassure you that you're not the only one with this kind of condition. Additionally, they can collaborate with you to address anxieties directly.
While there is no single treatment plan that works for everyone, CBT can be a great help to many people affected by anxiety. A psychiatrist can guide you in this type of therapy and develop specific steps for managing and reducing anxiety. Some counselors are trained in CBT for insomnia (CBT-I) that can integrate similar methods into improving sleep as well.
Please remember that while our guide is thorough and well-researched, it is not a replacement for medical advice. Always consult your doctor or qualified physician with any questions or concerns you have regarding medical conditions, treatments, and advice.
Improving Sleep Hygiene
Sleep hygiene encompasses your sleep environment and your sleep-related habits. Improving sleep hygiene can help get you primed for sleep and may lessen anxiety when you go to bed. Sleep hygiene is frequently an emphasis of CBT-I.
Creating A Positive Sleep Environment
Step one in improving sleep hygiene is creating a context that is permissive for sleep.
- Get a great mattress and pillow: deep sleep is hard if you aren't comfortable, and a supportive mattress and pillow also keep your body supported to reduce aches and pains.
- Find bedding that suits you: every sleeper has different needs. For example, you may sleep hot or may prefer your bed warm and cozy. Finding sheets and comforters that fit you will go a long way to putting you in the mood for sleep each night. You can also consider using a weighted blanket.
- Shut out distractions: excess sound and light and sound can interfere with diligent efforts to get to bed. Try a white noise machine or earplugs to block out disruptive noise, and use blackout curtains or an eye mask to remain in darkness. Avoid using mobile phones, laptops, or tablets for at least half an hour before bed.
- Find the right temperature: the optimal thermostat setting is subjective, but most people do best sleeping in a cooler bedroom.
- Make it smell nice: if you're sensitive to bad odors, consider essential oils to freshen up your bedroom scent. Some smells, like lavender, may promote calmness.
Developing Healthy Sleep Habits
Healthy sleep habits can signal to your mind and body that it's time for bed and help you ease more comfortably into sleep.
- Establish a routine: almost all sleep experts recommend trying to follow a regular sleep schedule. This includes going to bed and waking up at the same time each day and even on weekends. In the time leading up to your bedtime, follow the same steps each night such as brushing your teeth, meditating, having a cup of warm tea, or whatever series of steps best prepares you to go to bed.
- Stop clock-watching: once you're in bed, try to avoid constantly checking the clock. This can just create additional anxiety if you struggle to fall asleep immediately.
- Limit activities in bed: your bed should be for sleeping and for sex only. This builds the association in your mind of getting into bed with going to sleep rather than with other activities — like eating or watching TV — that may keep you awake.
Practicing Relaxation Techniques
Sometimes it's when you just want your mind to shut down for sleep that anxieties and negative thoughts start to swell up. When that happens, relaxation techniques can counteract the cycle of negative thoughts and sleeplessness.
Remember that not all of these techniques work for everyone. The important thing is to find the methods that are easiest and most effective for you to apply in your own circumstances.
- Meditate: there are many types of meditation that can help calm the mind, and you don't have to reach guru-levels of meditating for it to be beneficial. If you're not sure where to start, a psychiatrist can help, or you can check out some smartphone apps built for meditation.
- Journal or make a list: if your mind is being overrun by thoughts, it may be helpful to put them down on paper. Write an entry in a journal or jot down the key things you want to make sure that you remember.
- Play music: music can be supremely relaxing, and you may find it helpful to keep a playlist just for finding tranquility or for going to bed.
- Try the tense and relax method: progressive muscle relaxation involves tightening and releasing muscles in a gradual process coordinated with deep breathing.
- Clean: some people find that doing some light cleaning or tidying up is an opportunity to relax while getting organized. You can also do this while listening to calming music or focusing on deep breathing.
- Exercise: being active contributes to health in myriad ways. Light exercise may help relieve stress and anxiety. Physical activity can play a role in reducing insomnia and promoting good sleep.

ORLANDO, Fl. -- A hot air balloon ride ended with an emergency landing near some alligators.
The balloon was carrying 17 people near Orlando Monday.
A change in wind direction caused the pilot to change his route.
He managed to miss some power lines, but then the balloon ended up in a pond where a few alligators lived.
Video recorded in the basket shows there were plenty of passengers screaming as they got trapped under the balloon.
"There was adrenaline. It was pumping. But it was scary," said passenger Sebastian Westerby. "Now we're making fun of it, but it was serious. It was lucky that no one got hurt."

Given the chance, how would you re-interpret a trove of songs that everyone knows and loves? Why would you even try?
Back when he was singer and frontman for Tom Tom Club (with drummer Chris Frantz and bassist Tina Weymouth), Connecticut reggae ambassador Mystic Bowie hatched a plan: Take seminal Talking Heads tracks — "Once in a Lifetime," "Burning Down the House," "Life During Wartime," "Crosseyed and Painless" and others — and recast them as reggae and ska numbers. Years later, Mystic Bowie's Talking Dreads was born.
Those nagging questions, though: How? Why?
"My goal is never to be a cover band," Bowie tells Courant music writer Michael Hamad in the podcast above. "What I want to do is to take the poetry, remove their genre from it, literally, removing their genre musically from it."
Bowie brought David Byrne's poetry to Jamaica and enlisted local musicians, including legendary ska guitarist Ernest Ranglin, singers Freddie McGregor and Tarrus Riley, saxophonist Dean Fraser, drummer Kirk "Kirkledove" Bennett and guitarist Lincoln Thomas.
"I maintained the integrity of Talking Heads' artistry while fusing mine and creating that marriage. That right there helped me to push aside the challenges. ... This is my rendition of Talking Heads poetry."
Bowie spoke at length about Talking Dreads' new album (to be released on July 15); Jamaican music and history; meeting Jerry Garcia on the beach as a teenager (there's a cover of the Grateful Dead's "Shakedown Street" on the new album); and other topics.
Studio tracks include "Once in a Lifetime" (00:00); "Burning Down the House" (04:04); "Heaven" (10:50), featuring Cindy Wilson of the B-52s; "Love>Building on Fire" (18:05); "Crosseyed and Painless" (23:07); "Shakedown Street" (30:51); and "Life During Wartime" (32:28), featuring Freddie McGregor and Ernest Ranglin.
Mystic Bowie's Talking Dreads celebrated the album release at The Warehouse in Fairfield on June 15. You can stream and purchase Mystic Bowie's Talking Dreads at talkingdreads.com, and see the band live at the Space Ballroom in Hamden on July 21.

Translatum Makes the Most of Technopolis Events
The translation agency Translatum has offices on Technopolis campuses in Helsinki, Tampere and Tallinn. The numerous events organized by Technopolis have proven to be great places for the company to network and find new customers.
Translatum is one of the largest translation agencies in Finland. It carries out more than 7,000 translation projects every year, mostly with topics related to technology. A number of its customers are large companies, and the connection to many of them was made at Technopolis events.
Technology and industry-specific expertise
A translation project is a process with a number of phases, and both technology and skilled people are needed to carry it out. Most members of the Translatum team in Finland are Finns, and the most common language pair is Finnish and English. In Tallinn, Estonian and Russian are added to this selection.
Translatum outsources translations to and from the less often requested languages to its contacts all over the world. Industry-specific expertise is essential as the idioms and terminology used in the legal and medical sectors and the aviation industry, for example, vary considerably.
Automatic operations are required in a number of phases in the translation process. Sometimes even a machine translation can be useful if, for example, a simple gist translation is required of a thick pile of documents. Grammar and style are not that relevant in this case.
Translatum usually uses technology even at the quoting phase. Upload a file for translation to the Translatum service, and a quote will be sent to you within a matter of seconds. If you choose to accept the quote, the job is transferred first to a project manager and then to a translator. Approximately one third of Translatum's turnover comes from jobs that arrive through this online service.
Technopolis is a great place for Translatum
"The business started almost by accident in the late 1990s," says Translatum's owner, Risto Kuosmanen. "My sister is a translator and I helped her to find new customers. It wasn't long before a few more translators got in touch with me and it all turned into a business. At the start of the 2000s only two of us worked here, and now we employ about 15 people. Most of the translators, though, have their own companies, and they work as our partners. "
"Technopolis is a good environment for us, and all our offices are now located on Technopolis campuses. We used to have our own offices, and we can see a huge difference. Here we don't need to worry about anything that isn't directly related to our business. All you have to do is to come to work in the morning. Security, cleaning and everything else is taken care of. I don't even remember that these issues need to be looked after."
"And the lobby service is fantastic!" If you ever have a problem, they deal with it. Sometimes I think I don't even need to open my mouth – the lobby staff knows what I need anyway."
Risto Kuosmanen actively takes part in Technopolis events, frequently in the audience but often also as a speaker. He finds the events interesting and rewarding. There is always an opportunity to network with the other participants at the events.
"I always hand out a few business cards and make new contacts," says Kuosmanen, clearly happy with the opportunities to network. "There are usually some Technopolis customers as well as other companies present at these events. Some of them turn into customers or suppliers. I don't even consider this as selling; the contacts are made spontaneously."
Technopolis encourages interaction
"Many companies arrange coffee mornings and other seminars. These often seem to focus on gaining knowledge, and the aim is not to introduce participants to each other," says Technopolis' Events Manager Minna Käenniemi. "Here at Technopolis we always want to encourage networking."
"Why do we do this? For us, this is one way of standing out and a means to offer more than square meters. We want to offer our customers inspiration. We want them to meet customers, partners, investors, employees, new faces. The better our customers do, the better we do. That's why."
Business Breakfasts is one example of the events regularly organized by Technopolis. Technopolis Business Breakfast is a fast-paced two-hour event for early risers. It combines networking, breakfast and specialist comments on current topics.
The events held on Technopolis sites offer visions and experiences to entrepreneurs, managers and specialists who want to make more money with their expertise and shake up established practices in their organizations. Technopolis Business Breakfasts are open to everyone and free of charge.
"Five countries, 12 cities, 50 breakfasts every year with 2,000 guests each year," enthuses Käenniemi. "If possible, we seat people in groups of tables, and at some events we ensure that people from the same company are seated at different tables. Participants like this and they are quick get to know each other. I feel privileged to be arranging these events. This is a real vantage point."

Nikon Intros Powerful AF-S Nikkor 180-400mm F/4 Telephoto Zoom Lens with a Built-In Teleconverter
Nikon created a buzz at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) today with the introduction of a powerful AF-S Nikkor 180-400mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR zoom lens. What makes this super telephoto zoom so unique, is that it's the first lens from Nikon featuring a built-in teleconverter for an extended range.
The switch-activated 1.4X teleconverter extends the reach of the new Nikkor 180-400mm zoom to 252-560mm with Nikon FX-format (full-frame) DSLRs, and to a whopping 378-840mm on Nikon DX-format (APS-C) DSLR cameras. Ideal for wildlife and sports photography, the powerful new super telephoto boasts a constant f/4 maximum aperture for isolating a subject from the background.
You can see a hands-on video we shot at CES with the new Nikkor 180-400mm here.
Nikon says the new AF-S Nikkor 180-400mm f/4 zoom uses their latest optical technology, and features an electromagnetic diaphragm that's optimized for high-speed burst shooting with consistent exposures. The lens also has an enhanced AF tracking algorithm to increase autofocus performance when following fast-moving subjects.
The Vibration Reduction (VR) system in the new 180-400mm zoom features both Normal and Sports modes, delivering up to four stops of compensation for sharp, hand-held results under less than ideal lighting conditions. The durable lens is constructed of lightweight magnesium alloy, and is sealed against moisture and dust.
The advanced optical formula of the new AF-S Nikkor 180-400mm f/4 incorporates eight Extra Low Dispersion (ED) elements for optimum image quality with a minimum of distortion, and uses as Nikon's proprietary Nano Crystal Coat to eliminate flare and ghosting. The lens also has a fluorite element for weight reduction, and a fluorine coating on the front element to repeal water droplets, airborne contaminants, and fingerprints.
The new AF-S Nikkor 180-400mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR zoom lens will be available in March at a price of $12,400. There will be more details on the Nikon website soon. And if telephoto zoom lenses are your thing, be sure to read our November review of the recently introduced Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM.

Not necessarily. It would, however, require abandoning fiction and returning to looking at SS as what it was designed to be--welfare to keep old people without private resources from starving in the streets, but just barely.Anyone who worked can collect social security no matter their income level. People retired today with 10 million in retirement funds can and do collect it. So if it was intended to do what you said above where and when did it get changed so anyone could collect it who was well above poverty?

'Tomb Raider': Walton Goggins Joins Alicia Vikander
Posted on Wednesday, December 7th, 2016 by Angie Han
Alicia Vikander is finally getting some company in the Tomb Raider reboot, though her Lara Croft may not be so thrilled about it. Walton Goggins is closing in on the villain role in the video game adaptation, which is being directed by Roar Uthaug (The Wave).
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Goggins is in final negotiations to join the cast. Aside from the fact that he's a villain, details on his character are being kept under wraps. Goggins has demonstrated a knack for playing nasty and unsavory types in films like Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight and shows like Justified. He was most recently seen in the HBO comedy Vice Principals, where he plays yet another jerk.
The Tomb Raider reboot has been in the works for a while, but really started to pick up steam last year as Uthaug signed on to direct. Vikander was confirmed for the lead role earlier this year. The new Tomb Raider movie will be an origin story, following a young Lara Croft on one of her earliest adventures. Producer Graham King recently revealed that the film would send Lara in search of her father, Richard James Croft:
Well this is kind of what we call a 'back to the roots story'. This is a young Lara Croft in search to see if her father is dead or alive, so it has a very emotional part to it and I think that's what Alicia found so interesting about it. I think the storytelling is really good and I think we've got the right crew and a great director and I think it's going to be really fun making a film like this.
In contrast to earlier films starring Angelina Jolie, King has said the Tomb Raider reboot will be more character-driven:
Listen, the box office [for the Tomb Raider movies], they weren't disasters but I find it interesting that the story that we're telling is really the story before she became Lara Croft, so it is a character piece. It does have a lot of really great characters, but it's a lot of action and a lot of fun, and for me, it's something very different. I've not really done a movie like that before, but I really gravitated to rebooting this franchise and we're going to give it a shot.
Tomb Raider opens March 16, 2018.

Great Falls, Virginia

About Hagerstown,MDIn 1739, Jonathan Hager, a German immigrant from Pennsylvania and a volunteer Captain of Scouts, purchased 200 acres (81 ha) of land in the Great Appalachian Valley between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains in Maryland and called it Hager's Fancy. In 1762, Hager officially founded the town of Elizabethtown which he named after his wife, Elizabeth Kershner. Fourteen years later, Jonathan Hager became known as the "Father of Washington County" after his efforts helped Hagerstown become the county seat of newly created Washington County, which Hager also helped create from neighboring Frederick County. The City Council changed the community's name to Hager's-Town in 1813 because the name had gained popular usage, and in the following year, the Maryland State Legislature officially endorsed the changing of the town's name. In 1794, government forces arrested 150 citizens during a draft riot which was staged by protesters in response to the Whiskey Rebellion.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Bobby Rush of Chicago began a leave of absence from Congress on Sept. 12 because his wife, Carolyn, is ill, a Rush spokeswoman said today.
In mid-August, Rep. Rush attended a conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and had planned to take his wife, travel disclosure reports show. "Due to illness, my wife did not attend," he wrote in a disclosure submitted to the House on Aug. 30.
Rush's spokeswoman, Debra Johnson, said the lawmaker took the leave "to be with his wife Carolyn as she undergoes major surgery."
Johnson would not elaborate on Carolyn Rush's ailment or surgery, but said the congressman "is grateful for the prayers, support and well wishes extended to him and his family on behalf of Mrs. Rush."
Rep. Rush, 66, a Democrat, entered Congress in 1993. He is a former Chicago alderman.

Identifying Quackgrass
Quackgrass (Elytrigia repens) is a perennial weed that afflicts countless gardens, and in 41 states it is officially identified as a noxious weed. This persistent, vigorous plant survives the winter as far as north as U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zone 3 and it readily regrows from underground stems known as rhizomes, so you should identify quackgrass as soon as possible and eliminate it before it becomes established.
It is best to control quackgrass when it is still very young, so you should try to identify it in the seedling stage. Quackgrass seedlings are often reddish near the soil with dark green leaves, and the sheath, or lower part of a leaf, may have short hairs. With larger quackgrass plants, look for leaves that are less than 12 inches long and 2 to 3 mm wide. Unlike most other grassy weeds, quackgrass leaves have auricles, which are small protrusions visible at the base of the leaf where it wraps around the stem. Quackgrass auricles are narrow and they clasp the stem tightly. Many grasses look similar in their vegetative stage, so it is often easier to identify them after their seed heads have formed. Quackgrass seed heads are narrow spikes between 2 and 8 inches in length, and the seeds are arranged in two rows.

Do you want to turn your preferred photographs into pictorial depictions?
Most people are not keen on incorporating commercial pictorial depictions that are casually offered on several websites.
Most folks are not keen on incorporating ready made icons that are openly offered online; they would like to make web graphics from photographs that suit their fancy; so, mentioned here is an explanation on how you can convert your photographs into icons.
It is not unusual to come across web graphics on every other online establishment that offers free designing tools and more; the icons give a semblance of creativity and panache to your site, emails and even social messages on community sites . You could also incorporate a pictorial depiction on your professional cards or make it a part of your mail tags to personalize your correspondence. Making an icon is surprisingly simple and needs only the absolute rudimentary experience of photo editing. If you have not given a shot to transforming your photographs into icons so far; here are a few tips on how you can pull off the job with a significant amount of ease and in just a few minutes.
The first step is to buy an efficacious icon making software; these are can be bought from a plethora of sites for a minuscule amount. Carefully consider the photographs that you prefer to transform into pictorial depictions and make sure that they are in a image format that can be easily identified. The essential shape of the icon will help users to identify it soon. If the photo has not been shot by you, ensure that you get the required authorization before including it in your list of possible images for icons.
With the picture in hand, open it in a popular graphics format such as JPG, PNG or DNG through the use of your chosen icon making tool. You should change the file settings of the image. To start, change the resolution to 72 DPI; this is the general resolution included exclusively in digital and internet related graphics. But, if you feel that the icon will be used in print media, adjust the resolution to 300 DPI, you will be able to downsize it at a later stage.
Put the crop tool to use if you want to change the pixels to meet your need of the desired photo icon. Normally, the format of icon creation is square and the size ranges from 50x50 pixels to 300x300 pixels. For instance, if you intend to include the icon as the social networking avatar, you should downsize it to 50x50 pixels which will be a suitable size
To curtail the picture, you will need to use the mouse button and take the tool over the image and select the portion that you wish to use as your icon. It is recommended that you choose a portion that will be identifiable even though the icon is tiny.
Save the image using the the setting that reads 'save for web' or any other settings that produce the same results; available in the image creator. You will need to ensure that the color settings used by you are suitable such as 8 bit, which is the usual color setting for web usage. It will be best to store the image at the best quality because of its small size; this will not affect the upload time.
You should save the image in JPG, PNG or GIF as these are the commonest formats used on the internet and in graphic creation software. Now, simply upload the picture to your site or to a social site and you will be good to go. Alternatively, you can just keep it in the in the folder designated for archives so that it can be used in the future. As you will have observed, changing pictures that you like into a pictorial depiction is not very tough, so gear up to have a lot of fun by using your chosen pictures.

Names Temporary London Times Editor 10:28 AM PST 1/19/2013 by Georg Szalai FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME "Beverly Hills, other burbs, very different to 2008 when smothered in Obama bumper stickers, now hard to find." Independent directors didn't immediately approve the appointment of John Witherow, though, in an apparent spat over cost-cutting plans at the paper. LONDON - Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. has appointed temporary, or acting, editors of its London Times and Sunday Times newspapers, but without the approval of independent directors. Reuters reported that the conglomerate's News International U.K. newspaper unit has named John Witherow, the editor of the Sunday Times, to the role of acting editor of the daily Times, effective immediately. His deputy Martin Ivens has been named acting editor of the Sunday Times. The moves follow the December departure of Times editor James Harding. The independent directors, charged with keeping the two titles separate and independent from interference since Murdoch bought them in 1981, have initially refused to approve the appointments. Reuters cited a disagreement over the future of the papers, which the company has signaled are in need of financial improvements, meaning likely cost cuts. "During this interim period of continued consultation...we still have a responsibility to provide these two newspapers and their journalists with strong and stable leadership," said recently named News International CEO Mike Darcey. Witherow and Ivens met the independent directors on Thursday, but they withheld formal approval pending a more in-depth review, according to Reuters. "We welcome their clear understanding of the very difficult financial position of our newspapers," said Darcey. News Corp. is planning to split its entertainment conglomerate into two companies -- one will include its newspapers and the other the empire's film and TV businesses.

There's A New Bubble Wrap In Town
Thursday, January 7, 2016
The boom in online shopping—and shipping—this past holiday season has been big business for Bubble Wrap. So says the CEO of Sealed Air, the company that makes the iconic plastic wrap. Speaking to Fortune's Susie Gharib, Jerome Peribere talks about the popularity of the company's new Bubble Wrap, which is sold in flat plastic sheets.
It appeals to customers because the space-saving packaging cuts down on shipping costs. But Peribere confesses that some Bubble Wrap fans are disappointed that the new version doesn't pop when pressure is applied to the plastic bubbles.

BB Cream
What is BB Cream and Where'd it come from?
All of us have seen BB Cream commercials as well as make up aisles stocked with this product in various brands.
BB Cream stands for blemish balm in Korea however here in the western part of the world we call it Beauty Balm.
This is an all in one product that replaces the need of moisturizer, serum, primer, foundation and even powder. Depending on how you like your overall makeup to appear.
BB Cream was made in the 1960's in Germany by a dermatologist. Then in 1985 it swept through South Korea and Japan as one of their biggest retail products.
Benefits of BB Cream: smooths out skin tone, brightens, hydrates, includes SPF30.
