U.S. stocks closed firmly lower on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 snapping a six-day winning streak, as investors focused on heightened tensions between the West and North Korea and worries about a lack of progress on President Donald Trump's pro-growth agenda.
Low trading volume, particularly as investors returned from a holiday-lengthened Labor Day weekend, added to the downbeat tone on Wall Street.
After four straight days of gains, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.42% fell 234.25 points, or 1.1%, to finish at 21,753.31. The S&P 500 SPX, -0.65% shed 18.70 points, or 0.8%, to close at 2,457.85, with eight of the large-cap index's sectors ending in the red.
The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.46% declined 59.76 points, or 0.9%, to close at 6,375.57.
"People are getting a little more nervous on the margin—not just the geopolitical stuff—over whether tax reforms and pro-business policies will get done," said Ian Winer, head of the equities division at Wedbush Securities.
Investors are rotating out of sectors that would have benefited from deregulation, such as financials, and moving into bonds, according to Winer. "People today seem to feel that things won't get done or get watered down," he said.
Underlining Tuesday's run to haven assets and concerns about fiscal-policy progress, the 10-year benchmark Treasury yield TMUBMUSD10Y, +0.29% fell 9 basis points to 2.07%. Bond yields move inversely to prices.
"I didn't see a reason for us to go up as much as we did last week, so I think a big part of today's move is people taking profits off the table. To the extent that geopolitics are impacting the market, I think it will be in short-term back-and-forth movements," said Katrina Lamb, head of investment strategy and research at MV Financial.
"Valuations are expensive, but that doesn't mean things are automatically due for a pullback anytime soon. There hasn't been a major structural shift in the market, so I would encourage investors to keep an eye on things, but not to get too defensive."

The standoff between North Korea and the U.S. and its allies escalated over the weekend after Pyongyang said it had successfully tested its largest-ever nuclear bomb. The isolated regime is said to be ready to launch a new intercontinental ballistic missile as soon as Sept. 9 when the country celebrates its founding day.
The latest in Pyongyang's series of missile and bomb tests has hardened the rhetoric from the U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis warned North Korea that it would be met "with a massive military response" if it attacks the U.S., South Korea or Japan, while Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said at a UN Security Council emergency meeting that Kim Jong Un was "begging for war."

Fed speakers and economic news: Fed Gov. Lael Brainard said the Fed may have to slow down its pace of interest-rate hikes, citing the recent low readings for inflation. She indicated that if low inflation "proves transitory," then the central bank may continue its current expected pace, for one additional hike in 2017 and three in 2018.
Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said Tuesday it is very possible that the central bank's four interest-rate hikes since late 2015 could now be doing "real harm" to the economy.
At 7 p.m. Eastern, Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan will participate in a moderated Q&A session in Dallas.
On the data front, factory orders for July slumped 3.3% after being propelled in the previous month by a flurry of orders for Boeing aircraft.
Stock movers: Shares of United Technologies Corp. UTX, -2.32% sank 5.7% after the industrial conglomerate said late Monday it had reached a deal to buy airplane-parts makerRockwell Collins Inc. US:COL for $23 billion, in the biggest aerospace deal in history. Rockwell shares rose 0.3%. News of a potential deal first surfaced last month.
Insmed Inc. INSM, -1.06% rocketed 120% after the biotech firm said its study into NTM lung disease met its primary endpoint and it now plans to request a priority review and accelerated approval.

Courtney Whilden
Courtney is an undergraduate neuroscience student at Johns Hopkins, and she began in the Marsh lab in August of 2017. Her interests in the lab focus on patient perception of recovery. She is currently working on a study that addresses the relationship between patient-reported outcomes of recovery and objective measurements of cognitive recovery after stroke. Courtney has also assisted in the implementation of patient surveys in the clinic that assess patient expectations for recovery.
Courtney currently works in the Brown Lab, investigating circuits of the neocortex. She plans on graduating in 2020 and going on to pursue her PhD in Neuroscience.
Karen Chen, BA
Karen started out doing research in the Marsh lab as an undergraduate for two summers in 2014 and 2016. She graduated from Case Western Reserve University with her Bachelors of Arts in Biology and Psychology in 2017. She will be attending medical school at Penn State College of Medicine in the summer of 2018.
Karen's time in the Marsh lab has culminated in one first-author publication, two middle-author publications, and two posters (presented at the 2015 American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting, moderated poster at the 2018 International Stroke Conference). Her first project examined the added utility of CTA in assessing dizzy patients for posterior circulation ischemia. Results showed that the presence of calcium on CTA does not significantly increase the ability to predict stroke; a vascular risk assessment and neurological exam should remain the standard evaluation for risk-stratifying ischemia in dizzy patients. Her second study is looking at the factors associated with post-stroke fatigue and how they evolve from the early to chronic phases of recovery.

Totalitarianism From Church to State
by Doughlas Remy
Gil Bailie (The Cornerstone Forum Facebook page) quotes from political philosopher Hannah Arendt's "The Origins of Totalitarianism:"
The first disastrous result of man's coming of age is that modern man has come to resent everything given, even his own existence — to resent the very fact that he is not the creator of the universe and himself. In this fundamental resentment, he refuses to see rhyme or reason in the given world. In his resentment of all laws merely given to him, he proclaims openly that everything is permitted and believes secretly that everything is possible.
The triumph of the will—to borrow the title of the Leni Riefenstahl's wretched documentary hymn to Adolph Hitler—the triumph of the will doesn't mean that the will actually triumphs; reality is too recalcitrant. It means that the will lays waste the world in the effort to force reality to conform to whatever ideological make-believe has caught the fancy of the utopian planners.
Timothy Brock responds: (Note: Mr. Brock was "defriended" shortly after posting this comment, and the comment was removed.)
Totalitarianism is always a project of absolute control of every single aspect of a person's existence, from cradle to grave and beyond. It is antithetical to privacy, because even a person's most intimate actions, thoughts and desires must become totally transparent to those in control. If one does not voluntarily submit to these intrusions, then one is shamed and, if necessary, coerced. If one does not voluntarily confess one's crimes, then one is threatened and sometimes isolated or tortured. Totalitarian systems assume that everyone has something to hide and therefore to confess, and yet these systems are themselves highly secretive. While requiring total transparency from those they control, they demand total opacity for their own conduct.
The individual's sexual behavior—and even his or her innermost desires—are of particular use to the totalitarian mindset, because shame is one of the most powerful forces in the human psyche and can be leveraged for total control. Once an individual is made to feel ashamed of any sexual desire that lies outside a very narrow spectrum of social utility, he or she can be manipulated to an astonishing degree.
Once the Church lost the power to exert this level of control, is it any surprise that the state stepped into the breach?
1 comment so far
Nevermind that the historical record tells us unequivocally that the applied politics of the "catholic" church was always about power-and-control over everyone and everything – it still is of course:
Applied "catholic" politics as "authorized" in the "name of 'God'" and for the "glory of 'Jesus'" by the papal bulls of 1455 and 1493
The conquest continues:
Note the unspeakably vile sado-masochistic snuff/splatter movie being reviewed. – in which the "hero" (or rather all living-breathing-feeling human beings) is/are systematically beaten to death.This movie was hugely popular with right-thinking Christians at the time. It was promoted as a superb missionary tool for spreading the "good news".
The applied politics of cruelty described here was enthusiastically promoted by all of Bailie's right-thinking "catholics" that infest and congregate around the uber-awful National Review.
What happened and who was involved was/is described in great detail by Naomi Klein in her book The Shock Doctrine. Addbusters magazine describes the work in progress, as does Henry Giroux in his various writings.

This week has been a very long one, the first week in almost a year that I have been without my girl during the day and left alone with a 2 and a half year old. Ironically, even though I chased him around the house more and have never been more exhausted, it was a lot quieter around here. Those two fight so much now that she is getting older and doesn't want to play with him all the time.
Sunday, my mother brought my daughter a gift….a small palm held electric shaver. Poor girl is only ten and needs to shave. She is growing up too fast, she likes boys, shaves, starting to get hips and wears a bra. Most of her other friends, including some older ones aren't quite there yet and my beautiful baby girl gets to be the first. This is not good…….hubby is already talking about shotguns and different ways to hurt the punk boys that are inevitably going to break my little girls heart. He is actually going to invite his best friend over for Lexis first date (in 20 years if I have anything to say about it) and pull a Bad Boys scene with the poor kid. Ya know the scene where they scare the kid taking out Marcus's daughter. I loved that scene, and I will get a nice reenactment of it, LOL!!!
So Monday, she started school and was so happy to be allowed to walk to and from school. The problem is, school starts at 8:10, she leaves the house at 7:30, yet she needs to wake up at 5:45 because it takes her sooooo long to get ready for school. It is so sad, only a few years ago, I was able to wake her up, get her fed and dressed and out the door in 45 minutes tops!! LOL!! I'm NOT looking forward to the teenage years.
Tuesday, she came home so excited because she found out that she can finally join in on the clubs and other fun extra curricular activities such as…….Orchestra!! She has decided that she wants to learn to play the violin, and has made the commitment to ACTUALLY stick with it. I couldn't be prouder of her right now, I never got the chance to learn an instrument and I am proud that she is acting so mature. She knows that its gonna be a lot of HARD work and less free time, but shes ok with that because she is determined. I cried a little when she told me that.
So then on Wednesday, she came home excited YET AGAIN, (I'm liking this trend) because she wanted to join the after school club, Battle of the Books club!! She loves to read books and loves to talk about her books, so this is the perfect club for her.
There was nothing much new on Thursday, except that she said that she is reading 2 books in class right now, 1 is Shiloh that they are reading together and is mandatory, and then she said she CHOSE to read Pride and Prejudice. I am shocked about this choice because there are no wizards, fairies, dragons, mermaids, and wimpy boys and dorky girls, yet she chose it anyways. I am so proud!!
It was raining Friday morning, but that didn't stop Lexi from riding to school enthusiastically. She is so happy but it scares me that she is growing up. I'll get over it, I know, but for now I really want to hold onto my little girl.
Friday night, Lexis best friend since birth spent the night and first all the kids went and played outside with our dog Kismet, then we all played Mario Carts, and once Gavin went to bed, the girls cut a poster board in half and each decorated half for the other. I joined in using Lexis sketch pad and drew a really bad picture of Lexi.
Lexis friend, Dorothy, was showing us pictures in her cell, which of course made Lexi want one, so she started telling me that most of the kids in her class have cells and her friend Kayling has a phone and Dorothy *Dotty* has a phone and she says its not fair, LOL!!! It turns out though that recently, my father dropped his cell in water and had to get a new one but didn't have insurance on the phone so in order to get a cheaper phone, they added a line to their account and were thinking if they can find an old phone, they would give her the new number. She technically has a phone, when I got my new phone, I gave her my old one as a play phone and to take pictures. So now I guess that my daughter is in fact getting a phone. I'm not sure about this except it will make me feel better if I can get ahold of her when she is not home.
I guess I better get used to it though, she is getting older and is gonna have more freedom and I want to always know that she is safe. I cant keep babying her forever!!
I meant to take more pictures of Gavin this week, but he didn't really give me much time to do anything OTHER than chase him everywhere, so that didn't happen. Although he did come to me at one time and said "Mommy, make me a picture with your clama" which is translated as "Mommy take a picture of me with your camera", but he was naked waiting for his pullup and thought I better not, lol!! He ran off after he got dressed and never got it done. As soon as him and I get used to not having Lexi around, I plan to do more projects and games with him and take tons a pictures.
Sorry for the dreadfully long post, but I am soooo proud of my girl and just had to show her off!!!
One response to "First week back to school and all alone with an ornery toddler!!!!"
I like the long post with all the pictures! Plus you get an extra thumbs up from me for owning a pit bull! I have a special place in my heart for those pups.
On an earlier comment, I said I follow you via GFC. Obviously, you don't have GFC!! I follow you by email now =)

Asad Ali, 21, from London, has been shortlisted for the Transport & Logistics award in the Asian Apprenticeship Awards 2017.
Asad began his apprenticeship with Certas Energy through apprenticeship and training provider Sussex Skills Solutions, based at Sussex Downs College, Eastbourne. Asad's employer, Alex Ward (Regional Manager, Certas Energy), nominated him for the award.
"Asad came to Certas for an interview and immediately stood out as an honest and ambitious young man who could, commercially, hugely add to our business," says Alex. "Asad saw his apprenticeship as the start of a professional journey and has a fantastic open mind to learning."
In the first six months of his apprenticeship, Asad was learning everything from product details, the machinery and the supply chain process. He also had the academic support of the apprenticeship training provider, Sussex Skills Solutions, based at the Sussex Downs College Eastbourne campus.
In the latter part of his apprenticeship, Asad introduced multiple new business accounts, placing him in the top 25 employees, in a sales force of 140, in terms of results and portfolio growth. Asad also played a role in allowing Certas Energy to increase its portfolio of vehicles from 22 to 90 in the greater London region.
Towards the end of his apprenticeship, Asad hosted a Ryder Cup Golfing Day for his customer base. Sussex Skills Solutions supported the event and assessed Asad's behaviour and relationship with his customers, witnessing first-hand the commercial value he brought to the industry.
Within a short time of completing his apprenticeship, Asad was promoted to a Business Account Manager within Certas.
"Asad has shown that whatever your educational and cultural background, you can cross commercial frontiers with a strong work ethic and a personality that understands the commercial needs of your customer base," says Alex.
Asad finished secondary school with a D grade in GCSE Maths. He now works in a highly numerical profession where 0.1 pence per litre can make the difference between a company being viable or a company closing down. Through his apprenticeship with Sussex Skills Solutions and learning the Certas way of working, Asad now has the numerical ability any professional would be proud of.
The apprenticeship opportunity has also equipped Asad with life skills, including learning to drive. He is now helping Certas Energy to develop the next generation of apprentices.
Alex concludes, "Asad is very deserved for being shortlisted in the Asian Apprentice Awards. He is a credit to the fuel industry, an ambassador to Certas Energy and demonstrates the educational value that Sussex Skills Solutions can bring to the workplace."
The Asian Apprenticeship Awards take place in Birmingham on 2nd November 2017. The Apprenticeship team and all the staff at Sussex Downs College wish Asad luck in the awards!

How do you handle other adults on the facility grounds?
Any visitor must be with a staff member if they are touring. All visitors must check in at the office for security purposes. Children are signed in and out daily; identification is necessary to take a child from the center.
What can I do to make the preschool experience a good one for my child?
- It's best if your child can attend at least three days per week. This allows him/her to keep the routines familiar and comfortable.
- It is also very important that your child arrive on time on every scheduled day. Its very disruptive for the group and can be uncomfortable for your child to arrive at any other time.
- Encourage them to talk about their day, it lets them know you're interested in what they do and can be a bonding tool between you and your child. Take a moment to read the lesson plan so you can initiate a conversation. Be sure your child understands that you think preschool is important and wonderful. What you think and believe is very important to your child.

Saving on Great Food with Chili's Coupons
Chili's menu is terrific. I love to grab the lunch combo special – a cup of soup and one of several main courses – club sandwich, quesadillas or a burger, for example, served with fries. Chili's coupons can save you on this already great deal.
The 2 for $20 deal is also very popular – feeding you and a date for $20. It comes with an appetizer you share and then you each choose your own main course. Use Chili's Grill & Bar coupons to save money on some of the regular menu items that are not included in these specials. Chili's has great fajitas, cheese dip, quesadillas, tacos, soups, pasta, burgers, steaks and sandwiches, as well as fantastic salads.

Where to Find Chili's Grill & Bar Coupons
Finding Chili's coupons is much like finding any other types of coupons. Online sites are a great starting point; links on this very page can lead you to the coupons you want. Of course, also be sure to look through the paper, through local coupon books or inserts. In most areas, you can find a nice packet of coupons inside the local newspaper. The paper may or may not have Chili's Grill & Bar coupons inside. If so, simply take the insert, cut out the coupon and then go to the restaurant to use it.
Chili's coupons

As long as you stick to the items that are on special, you might be able to save about the same amount of money on dinner.

When many words are strung together into sentences and paragraphs, a writer can communicate an idea. Unfortunately, meaning sometimes gets lost. In such cases, the result is usually ambiguity.

California Central Valley Spelling Bee
The Sacramento Bee is proud to offer students an opportunity to participate in the California Central Valley Spelling Bee. The champion wins an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C. to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The spelling bee is open to students in grades 3-8 who attend school in Colusa, El Dorado, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, Shasta, Solano, Sutter, Tehama, Yolo and Yuba counties.
There are three levels of competition in the California Central Valley Spelling Bee. The first level happens at your school. A spelling bee coordinator (usually a teacher, parent or community volunteer) at your school has the very important job of finding the school's top speller. Many schools conduct their own school-wide spelling bees.
*NEW FOR 2019* The best speller from each school advances to the next round, which is an online preliminary test consisting of spelling and vocabulary. This test is coordinated by the National Spelling Bee and the registered schools (see dates and times to right, Important Dates). The 40-50 top spellers will be invited to the oral spelling bee.
The third level of competition is the regional oral spelling bee. This happens every year in March in the Sacramento region. The general public is invited to attend. The winner of the oral spelling bee will represent the Central Valley region at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., expenses paid by sponsors of the event. The national spelling bee is an event that takes almost an entire week in late May/early June.
There is an enrollment fee for each school. Your school will receive study words for students, pronouncer guides, rules, certificates and more. Click here to learn more and register your school and/or champion.

Dear Parents,
Fall is here and the second quarter of school is off to a great start. In math we are starting to become experts in the numbers 6 through 9 and will continue to do so through next week. In reading/language arts we learned all about the letter "w" and next week our letter will be "z".
In science/social studies we will continue our fall themes and talk about trees and animal habits during the fall. Next week is our last full week of school before Thanksgiving break. Please be on the lookout for information about a Thanksgiving party for our classroom. It will probably be on Tuesday, November 22 which is the day before Thanksgiving break. There will be a variety of ways to help with this and I will send home a note with more details sometime next week.

Border Patrolman Faces Decades in Prison
SAN DIEGO (CN) – A border patrol officer will cough up a Jaguar, five Rolex watches and faces years in prison after pleading guilty to taking bribes to let people into the United States.
Hector Rodriguez, 45, of San Diego, pleaded guilty Thursday to conspiracy, bribery and bringing in aliens for financial gain, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
Gerardo Rodriguez, 42, of Chula Vista, pleaded guilty Thursday to similar charges.
Two other defendants also face sentencing on July 1: Vanessa Moya, 30, of San Diego, and Maria Guerrero, 39, of Chula Vista.
Hector Rodriguez admitted that he took bribes from Gerardo Rodriguez and Maria Guerrero from "around 2010" until he was arrested on July 13, 2012, the U.S. attorney said in the statement.
The bribes included "cash money, use of luxury vehicles, and use of an apartment," prosecutors said.
Hector Rodriguez told the co-defendants his lane assignment at the San Ysidro border crossing and they drove undocumented aliens into the United States.
On the day they were arrested, "Gerardo Rodriguez drove a vehicle containing eight illegal aliens and co-defendant Vanessa Moya drove a vehicle containing six illegal aliens through defendant Hector Rodriguez's inspection lane," prosecutors said.
Hector Rodriguez entered false information into the government database about who was driving and the number of occupants.
Hector Rodriguez agreed to forfeit "a 2009 Jaguar, 12 luxury watches (five Rolexes), jewelry, televisions, and computers that were obtained as a result of his criminal activity," prosecutors said.
"Codefendant Gerardo Rodriguez has agreed to forfeit a 2005 Mercedes, 2006 Harley Davidson, $60,000, televisions, and computers that were obtained as a result of his criminal activity."
There are 17 counts in the indictment, nine of them punishable by 5 years in prison and fines, eight of them by 15 years and fines.

Apparently, someone at Stony Brook got around to realizing the dumb move they made, because this came to my inbox today:
A message to all Stony Brook University students:
Please disregard any new charges on the fall bill reflecting an Academic Excellence and Success fee of $37.50 and out-of-state tuition associated with the implementation of Stony Brook University's NY SUNY 2020 plan.
The next bill you receive for the spring 2012 semester will reflect the new charges. We regret any inconvenience this has caused, and if a payment has already been made, the University will implement a credit balance to the Spring semester bill.
Please call the Student Accounts Office at (631) 632-2455 with any questions about your account and we will be happy to assist you; or visit www.stonybrook.edu/bursar.
This is an automatically generated email, please do not reply to it.

Still, I'm not quite sure what it means. Did they decide not to charge $37.50 on the fall bill, and are just moving the fall charge over to the spring bill? We shall see.

"As a child growing up in pre-gentrification Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, I went everywhere by bicycle. My bike was in many ways the key to my neighborhood, which, at the time, was Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. This was in the 60s and 70s, before all the white people and restaurants. I really can't underscore boldly enough the fact that I grew up in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, before it was gentrified. You could get mugged!" – Jonathan Lethem
"I was a very quiet child growing up. I always knew that I was funny – I just never put it to use." – Spoken Reasons
"My children give me a great sense of wonder. Just to see them develop into these extraordinary human beings. And a favorite book as a child? Growing up, it was 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' – I would read the whole C.S. Lewis series out loud to my kids. I was once reading to Zelda, and she said 'don't do any voices. Just read it as yourself.' So I did, I just read it straight, and she said 'that's better.'" – Robin Williams
"Kids: they dance before they learn there is anything that isn't music." – William Stafford

"The child's personality is a product of slow gradual growth. His nervous system matures by stages and natural sequences. He sits before he stands; he babbles before he talks; he fabricates before he tells the truth; he draws a circle before he draws a square; he is selfish before he is altruistic; he is dependent on others before he achieves dependence on self. All of his abilities, including his morals, are subject to laws of growth. The task of child care is not to force him into a predetermined pattern but to guide his growth." – Arnold Gesell

In doing so, they will pull themselves out of poverty." – Iain Duncan Smith
"At one point I learned transcendental meditation. This was 30-something years ago. It took me back to the way that I naturally was as a child growing up way in the country, rarely seeing people.

"Someday you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again." – C. S. Lewis

It is with this black history that I write about the financial challenges African-Americans still have." – Michelle Singletary
"I grew up falling in love with kind of story, amazing, wonderful tale of the East, which if you're a child growing up in India is all around you. And I think one of the gifts it gave me as a writer was this early knowledge that stories are not true." – Salman Rushdie
"As an African American child growing up in the segregated South, I was told, one way or another, almost every day of my life, that I wasn't as good as a white child." – Coretta Scott King

"The soul is healed by being with children. –Fyodor Dostoyevsky" – William P. Young

Tonight I re watched my blu-ray DVD of the movie the"Iron Lady" and what a movie it is. Here is a reworked post of my original review of the movie.
I loved The Iron Lady and it brought tears to my eyes. One of my heroes is Margret Thatcher, the first female British Prime Minster, and the greatest since Winston Churchill.After watching the movie I see a lot of Margret Thatcher in Ted Cruz the new Senator from Texas.
My favorite part of the movie was the retelling of her role in the Falkland War against Argentina. At the time I followed the war intently and would get reports from the BBC on my short wave radio and had our extra bedroom made up into a "war room" with maps and the location of ships etc. I knew then that most of the world under estimated her will of steel.
The sad part of the movie is that most of it is told in flashbacks from the near past as she is declining in mind as most of us do as we reach "the end". Unless we die a sudden death, this happens to many of us including the greats such as Reagan and Churchill. Most of the time this happens out of public view. As a reader of biographies I know that we all don't "live happily every after" which we were led to believe in the fairy tales of our youth.The end is often very bitter sweet. My wife was bothered by her conversations with her dead husband who appears like a ghost. I viewed it more as a dramatic devise to tell the story .... and what a story it is.
Her speeches on the problems of the U.K. are right out of what is happening in Greece and the United States today. The enslavement of us all by debt and the power of the "nanny state". Her battle with the leaders of her own Conservative party to push back on the "road to serfdom" or go along in a competent moderate managed way because that is the "politically smart" thing.

This year, MiracleFeet is joining the #GivingTuesday movement! We hope you'll be part of this exciting day where people around the world give back to the causes that matter to them.
Today marks the seventh #GivingTuesday, and this global day of giving has grown exponentially each year, with over $300 million raised online last year alone. #GivingTuesday is all about harnessing the power of communities, which means YOU are the power behind #GivingTuesday.
You have the opportunity to be part of the #GivingTuesday movement at MiracleFeet, where your support helps to empower children born with clubfoot, their families, and their communities. As we enter this season of giving, remember that one person can make a difference. Treating a single child can have a ripple effect that transforms many lives.
Where Transformation Starts
It begins in MiracleFeet supported clinics, as patients go through the casting and tenotomy phases or treatment, and then learn how to properly wear the brace that will keep the feet in place. When you give to support clubfoot treatment, your contribution can help provide everything from the plaster for casts, to training providers to do tenotomies, to giving a child a MiracleFeet brace.
How Your #Giving Tuesday Donation Makes an Impact
Ever wondered what exactly your donation can do?
- $20 provides a MiracleFeet brace to a patient
- $50 provides a MiracleFeet brace and casting materials to a patient
- $250 provides complete treatment for a child
Double Your Impact with a $25,000 Match
This year, your gift can go twice as far. Thanks to several generous board members, donations made beginning on #GivingTuesday and through December 31st will be matched up to $25,000. That's twice as many children able to run and play without pain and disability, able to attend school with their peers, and able to grow up to support families of their own without the added pressure of disability stigma.
Donate today to change lives.

The best long-term option for South West Communications has always been to adopt a recurring revenue model where possible to great advantage, says Managing Director Brian Lodge.
Recurring revenues have for a long time featured palpably in South West Communications's business interests. As a result of this tactic the company continues to garner annual percentage increases in turnover. "Sales are up considerably and this is being led by cloud," stated Lodge. "We closely monitor our monthly growth in income and some of the figures are remarkable with capital equivalent monthly sales up by 160 per cent in the last 12 months."
A step-change came when the company built its own on-premise data centre. "We invested in a serious facility on our site purposely built to handle a large amount of cabinets with full resilience in power and connectivity," explained Lodge. "This again was a monthly revenue model, so our business gravitated more and more towards recurring revenue. Lines, minutes and connectivity were the next obvious step and, although this is now turning into bandwidth and SIP, it is still growing and adding to our model."
There have been many significant change-points for South West Communications over the years but migrating its base to the cloud is its biggest opportunity. "We've had cloud telephony for years but it's only taken off during the past 24 months," noted Lodge. "Cloud is a natural and welcome progression for us. We have the billing infrastructure and the financial solidarity to spread what was a one-off capex profit over a three or five-year period. It fits our business approach."
South West Communications is now a £24 million turnover group of companies with a 140 headcount. Its customer profile is wide ranging with installed sites from two to 5,000-plus users. Almost from day one South West Communications has sought to form strong bonds with its local business community via an enduring relationship with Exeter Chiefs Rugby. "We have two directors who were players with the club and we have been its main sponsors for 25 years," commented Lodge.
"The business demographic of the crowd fits well with our customer base and it gives us a local and national profile that normal marketing campaigns cannot compete with. It's nice to be associated with winners and, at the time of writing, they are at the top of the Premiership, so it's money well spent."
The challenge is mass market commoditisation of services. It's also our biggest opportunity to do the job better than anyone else
Lodge's priority is to raise South West Communications' game and ensure businesses work with the company for its own brand ethos rather than the products it provides. "The challenge is mass market commoditisation of services – but this is also our biggest opportunity to do the job better than anyone else," noted Lodge. "We are mid-way through a CRM upgrade to add all the bells and whistles to our support desk. In truth, it's about people and we have a wealth of talent that with further investment in time and training will make a real difference to how we deliver our services in the future.
"We have already made some significant inroads into lifting our game and reinvesting in staff by launching an apprenticeship scheme with the support of Exeter College that refocuses employees of all ages. This approach has been recognised in the awards we have won this year and Exeter College even showcased the model abroad as an example of how companies can do apprenticeships in a different way."
To say that Lodge himself approached the comms industry in a different way than most would be an understatement. He left school at 16 and started a four year apprenticeship at a local yacht builder in Devon. He qualified and went into commercial boat construction before jumping ship and moving to Australia on a working visa. "I could build a yacht from a set of plans but as far as telecoms goes there was not much synergy," stated Lodge. "That said, I was practical and could do most things if I set my mind to it. When you leave education early life skills come quickly."
South West Communications CEO Tony Rowe OBE comes from a similar mould, noted Lodge. "We could learn the technical side of things as we went along, but we had common sense which seemed in short supply from BT back then, and that was our only real competition. It was hard work, but as a private sector company with ambition and unencumbered by legacy monopoly processes we couldn't lose."
South West Communications began its commercial life in 1983. Rowe had previously become involved in CB radio as part of his marine business and got into computers having set up a small shop in Exmouth. After Rowe serviced Lodge's father's boat engine the pair became acquainted in business. "We had a few domestic phones in the shop got the opportunity to supply a full business telephone system to our accountants at the time that BT relinquished its grip on the UK market," added Lodge. "Tony saw the opportunity and we resold the Detwe E12 system. One of the original members of the sales team is now our Sales Director, Sarah Flowers. There are not many sales people who can claim to have hit or beaten target constantly for more than 30 years, but Sarah is one of them."
Both Lodge and Rowe soon realised that the best plan was to put profits back into the company, so they started their own finance organisation. "It was genuinely ours and not a white labelled solution that others were offering at the time," said Lodge. "This started us on the recurring revenue road and, when combined with our support business, it generated a significant contribution to our bottom line."
The case for recurring revenues remains overwhelming and only those resellers who adopt this model will be in the running, believes Lodge. "Resellers will only survive if they build a monthly model because customers want it wrapped up, delivered and supported at a fixed cost," he said. "If you cannot add value the customer will bypass you and go direct."
To survive resellers will need to become 'mini MSPs', it's a move every VAR is going to have to make, believes Lodge. "Aggregate your services and wrap them up in a monthly cost with full support and proactive management," he commented. "The carriers, direct selling manufacturers and private equity companies building fast to sell cannot offer that kind of service. Maybe there should be a new acronym of VAMSP (Value Added Managed Service Provider) – after all, we're short on acronyms in our industry!"
When you consider the big and emerging trends of most interest to Lodge right now a new rash of acronyms is certain to break out. "We are moving towards more multi-media and mobile communication where voice is only a small and part of the solution," stated Lodge. "I am a firm believer in the smartphone as the weapon of choice for business people, and applications on devices are the future of our industry.
"My kids don't know what dial tone is and run away from a ringing landline. They are now old enough to be my customers and they are not changing their communication habits just because their dad used to sell desk phones. Everywhere I go the buzzword is 'disruption' so it's fair to say that agility more than anything else is now the key to any strategy in this business."
Just a minute with Brian Lodge...
Role model:
A guy renting sunbeds for five euros in Spain. I did the maths and it was the best low cost of sale recurring revenue model I've ever seen
Your greatest fear?
Personal failure. It's OK for everyone else!
If you weren't in comms what would you be doing?
Space has always attracted me. It's the final horizon and I like horizons
One example of something you have overcome:
The Monch next to the Eiger in Switzerland. I climbed it with my son Sam and some marines. That was a tough father-son learning curve
Tell us something about yourself we don't know?
My favourite film is Love Actually
The biggest risk you have taken?
I put my hand in the mouth of a live 200lb shark when fishing in Florida to get the hook out
Name three ideal dinner guests:
My wife and two kids. That doesn't happen often and their knowledge and opinions with no background agenda are priceless
Industry Bugbear:
I would give everyone fast and reliable access to fibre connectivity rather than squeezing the last bit of life out of a ropey bit of copper. Let's wake up and catch up!
How do you relax when not working?
I'll let you know when that happens
Top tip for resellers:
Never let anyone bill your customers for you
What possession could you not live without?
I'll always have a boat, or if things get tight just something that floats

UPDATE – Tonight's Living Fort Wayne Concert Series at Headwaters Park has been cancelled due to the threat of severe weather. Safety is always our primary concern.
Mark your calendars for the next Living Fort Wayne concert on June 27. https://bit.ly/1WmUCpn
The Legendary Trainhoppers with opening act swimming[into]view are performing at the 2018 Living Fort Wayne Concert Series at Headwaters Park West on Wednesday, May 30 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Living Fort Wayne recently caught up with the Legendary Trainhoppers' Matt Kelley to get his thoughts on what the Trainhoppers are all about!
Tell us about The Legendary Trainhoppers
The Legendary Trainhoppers are a six-piece Americana band based in Fort Wayne, IN. The band was originally active 2005–7, and re-formed in late-2015. The Trainhoppers have recorded three albums of original songs, and have performed at Middle Waves Music Festival, Down the Line (twice), the Living Fort Wayne Concert Series (twice) and more, and have opened for The Avett Brothers, The Cactus Blossoms, Marah, Rorey Carroll and Ike Reilly. Their most-recent album, LET IT BREATHE, was released in June 2017.

Chris Dodds – vocals, guitars, keys, harp
Matt Kelley – mandolin, guitar
Phil Potts – vocals, guitar
Dan Smyth – vocals, guitar
Casey Stansifer – bass

Describe your approach to Americana, roots-rock, alt-country?
Well, we keep it loose, especially in live performance—we always get a little anxious if we're feeling TOO rehearsed! We like to feel like the train could come off the tracks at any minute. The music we make is really just rock and roll, with some winks and nods to roots through some of our particular instrumentation, and of course lots of three-part harmony vocals.
How did your band get its name?
Thanks for asking—over time, the "legendary" thing is a bit smug, yeah? But, it's kinda true. Basically, our band formed after my aunt presented me with a photo of my great-grandpa's band, circa 1905. They had crooked hats, string instruments, and looked like they had just hopped off (or robbed) a train. It was 2005, and we just sat there staring at that photo and wondering, "What would they sound like today?" And then we decided to re-form the band, and find out.
The band was originally a project to write songs that sounded like that photo looked. Soon enough, we had so much fun, we couldn't resist making it a serious part of our lives.
Which songs do you perform most frequently?
Well, the repertoire is pretty large. We play 80 percent originals, and then covers that fit our vibe. We never play the same set twice, and are able to tailor the performance to the venue. This show, a big, outdoor, all ages affair, will be rock and roll. Other times, we'll play a venue like The B-Side, and then we do the quiet, more introspective songs.
What is the most memorable performance you've had?
Well, we try to make everything really, really special, because we know it is a privilege to even get to do this. Recently, our album release/film screening at ArtsLab was awesome, and our GRACELAND (Paul Simon's album in its entirety) performance at The Philmore was amazing for us. Most memorable, we were able to bring The Avett Brothers to town in 2006 and played the Wayne Calhoun Troubadour Series block party on Calhoun with them. It was a cathartic, game-changing evening, really. YLNI (Young Leaders of Northeast Indiana) and the DID (Downtown Improvement District) helped present that event, so, thank you—it's great to do another show together.
Describe the music-making process that you have
We're all Dylan nerds and love 'The Basement Tapes' aesthetic—so, songs and ideas are presented half-formed (if that) and we collaborate on everything, at all times. The songs take many forms before we finally record them, and we're eager to play some new things we're working on at our shows this summer.
How would you like the audience to feel when they are listening to your music?
I'm super proud of our songs and our performances—the time we dedicate to creating these songs, we should like them, right? I think all of us, in 2018, should seek to create the things that we want to see in the world. Anyway, we think the songs are good. But also, and very importantly, I think we're a fun band. I can't imagine it being any more fun for us to get to do this, and we love to share that feeling with everyone who sees us play.
What is it like to record an album in Fort Wayne?
We made LET IT BREATHE with Jason Davis at Off the Cuff Music. It was a tremendous experience. With my work, I've been able to travel and see great studios, interesting studios—in Nashville, Austin, Portland and so on—and Jason's setup is as unique and inspiring as any I've ever seen. It's a national treasure, right here in Fort Wayne.
What does the future hold?
We were looking for a winter project before writing the next album, and decided to cover Paul Simon's GRACELAND in its entirety, in February of this year. It was an amazing experience—the six of us, joined by four incredible guests, in the beautiful Philmore. Well, the show was such a hit, we've been invited to perform it at Bell's Brewery in Kalamazoo this August. We're excited for that, and for a great summer of interesting, mostly outdoor gigs—after Living Fort Wayne, we're doing Two-EE's, Buck Lake Ranch, Country Heritage and more. And then—recording the fourth record.
