Spy Game
- compiled by Jeffrey Overstreet Copyright Christianity Today International
- 2001 1 Jan
Good and evil are not so clear in this week's slick new big screen thriller, Spy Game.
Tony Scott, director of blockbuster action films like Top Gun, Crimson Tide, and Enemy of the State, has crafted another intelligent popcorn flick, and this one boasts the strongest lead talents of any film he's made so far. Robert Redford stars as Nathan Muir, a seasoned CIA professional readying for retirement; and Brad Pitt plays his prodigy, Tom Bishop.
When Bishop gets caught and tortured by the Chinese on the eve of an important and volatile presidential visit to China, the CIA wants to find a politically convenient excuse to forget about him and leave him to his painful fate. But Muir is not that kind of mentor. He's not about to leave his man behind.
Critics in the religious media praised Scott's technique, but had mixed feelings about the story itself. Michael Elliott (Movie Parables) reports, "Spy Game is an intellectual thriller much more than it is an emotional roller coaster. Screenwriter Michael Frost Beckner … certainly has insight as to the workings of the CIA and some of the moral questions that arise from men who work as undercover agents in hostile territories." He found some of it perhaps too challenging: "The structure of the screenplay does lend to some difficulties in comprehension." He finds no challenges in watching Redford and Pitt work together, saying both are at the top of their game.
Bob Smithouser (Focus on the Family) calls Spy Game an "engagingly written, visually arresting thriller. It neither confuses, nor condescends." But he objects to hearing men under pressure resorting to profanity. "Had they taken the language down a notch, Spy Game would have been a worthwhile flick."
"Seeing Redford and Pitt on the screen together is all a story needs to give it passion and purpose," raves Holly McClure (The Orange County Register). "Scott goes well beyond both of those ingredients to deliver an exciting, well-written, edge-of-your-seat spy adventure that will satisfy any fan of the genre."
Ted Baehr (Movieguide) is relieved that the film is "not an anti-American diatribe, though it does not paint a pretty picture of the greedy contemporary CIA." He is most troubled by the portrayal of "moral" heroes whose "radical individualism" excuses them from certain moral responsibilities. "A little understanding of moral virtue by the filmmakers would have sharpened the distinction between good and evil in the story and improved the movie tremendously."
John Adair (Preview) writes, "Spy Game is definitely a 'guy-movie' with several exciting action sequences, plenty of suspense, and some top-notch acting. Director Tony Scott also makes good use of the camera, which in turn consistently heightens the intensity throughout." But he disqualifies the film as worthwhile viewing, however, due to "strong obscenities."
Personally, I found the harsh language to be a properly realistic element. An expletive or two would not be out of place in these circumstances. What I found truly troubling was the way Muir, who gripes about the lack of ethics among CIA superiors, gives himself permission to break laws, lie to American authorities, and sneak around behind their backs to do what he thinks is right. Sure, it's a bad situation, having one of your best men stuck behind enemy lines … but should Muir be endangering national security, risk a major embarrassment in the press, and subvert complicated political procedures to carry out an operation all his own?
Tony Scott's stylish direction keeps the tension high, but I found the rapid-cut editing and hyperactive camerawork to be distractions from an interesting and complex plot. Worse, the film doubts the intelligence of its audiences, constantly reminding us "the clock is ticking" and that the hour of Bishop's execution draws ever closer. The love story that surfaces in the second half of the film seems one of those only-in-the-movies developments. As the film progresses, the heroes wear the scars of their adventures, but an undercover beauty who has been imprisoned and subjected to harsh treatment emerges looking as pure as a Revlon commercial.
Most viewers were on the edge of their seats, and I too was caught up in the cliffhanger countdown. But afterwards I realized that I had been maneuvered into rooting for a dangerously reckless and presumptuous man. We're left admiring Muir's "cool" while the administrators of American government are painted as sloppy, half-witted buffoons. In a time when the need for respectful citizens and respectable government seems more crucial than ever, these are rather dissonant chords.
While it is not the film's intent to question the ethics of its central characters, Spy Game raises questions about the boundaries that should be set for spies. Just how far can their deceit go in the name of national security? Is it ever appropriate to endanger the lives of innocent civilians in the name of eliminating a terrorist or a warlord? What does Scripture show us about devious endeavor done in the name of king and country?

Who's Responsible
I read the article "The Victim's Victims" [by Steve McVicker, October 17], and I am appalled that Bob Carreiro would victimize the Wiley family by suing them and State Farm, claiming their 14-year-old son Jeremy could have prevented the murder of Kristin and Kynara. I agree with Kip Wiley -- had Jeremy been home or walked in on the murder, he, too, would have been found dead. To be victimized -- again -- by Bob Carreiro is atrocious. Kristin and Kynara's suffering is over, but Jeremy's pain continues and will throughout his life. The trauma he endured after finding the bodies of his beloved sister and her best friend is a horrible thing most of us could not even begin to imagine, and Jeremy has to live with this vision daily. I realize Bob Carreiro is a victim in this murder, too, but why victimize the other victims? As I recall, Kynara's mother, Diane Taylor, was home that day, just down the street. Perhaps Carreiro should consider suing Diane Taylor too for allowing Kynara to go to the Wiley home. Had Diane kept Kynara and Kristin home, they would not have been murdered. (Carreiro's logic, not mine.)
The person who committed and is responsible for this heinous crime is Rex Mays. Mr. Carreiro, how in the hell can you do this to the Wiley family? The killer is on death row. Why not let the girls rest in peace? Jeremy is still alive -- don't destroy him for monetary gain.
Cheryl Rumsey Spaugh
Bob Carreiro Speaks
I have had to sit back, be slandered and have assertions made that were inaccurate, all the while not saying anything because of my pending lawsuit. Now it is my turn.
First, the original suit was thought of prior to the confession of Rex Mays. Its purpose was to start another investigation. Anything discovered in a civil proceeding can be used in a criminal investigation. Since the investigation seemed to be lagging, I felt it imperative to add another aspect to keep the pressure on. Second, since Mays is the murderer, it was assurance that he would not be able to benefit from this tragedy (i.e., movies, books, etc.).
You cannot just file a lawsuit; you need a basis of negligence. The most glaring was the fact that the girls were left alone unsupervised. Kip Wiley knew of this suit at the time it was filed. He told me an insurance investigator had come to his home and asked him questions. Mr. Wiley said his response was, "Look, the man's daughter was killed in my home. Cut him a check."
Mr. Wiley tries to portray me as a "moneygrubber," yet he certainly joined in my lawsuit as a plaintiff so he could be compensated for his daughter's murder. His claim against his civic association was negligence. He accused them of failing to provide adequate security and failing to let him know a murderer lived next door.
Also, the amounts stated in the Press are inaccurate. When I spoke with Mr. Wiley he knew I was not after any of his assets. The suit would not cost him anything. It was for the limits of his insurance policy -- $300,000. These multimillion-dollar figures are untrue. The only mention of any such figure was in connection with a written demand on State Farm, the Wileys' homeowners insurance carrier, sent by my lawyer. In this letter State Farm was asked to tender the sum of $2.5 million or the policy limits of the Wileys' insurance coverage, whichever was less.
All through the investigation, the search party for the murder weapon and many other functions related to the case, people asked, "Where are the Wileys?" I was always kind and told them that people handle things differently. Mr. Wiley has been very critical of me, while he sat praying for an end. I believe in prayer. I also know you have to get off your butt and do something, which I did! I will be the first to admit that at times I was a hindrance, but I did something and kept the pressure on until this monster who murdered our children was behind bars.
In the rag the Houston Press, Mr. Wiley says, "Don't paint me the same color as Bob Carreiro." I certainly hope you do not. There is a more appropriate color for a man who sits back during the investigation of his daughter's murder and claims everything is hunky-dory (when it obviously is not) and then tries to gain monetarily afterward.
I am also very surprised that Mr. McVicker in his article did not use the term "reliable sources" when it came to the comments made about me by the Sheriff's Department. Who were these people, and why not quote them directly? Mr. McVicker is guilty of pitiful journalism and poor fact checking.
The most glaring and lowest statement was that Mr. Wiley paid for my daughter's funeral. This is untrue. I received $1,000 from Mr. Wiley's insurance carrier approximately two weeks after the murders. It helped but certainly did not cover the cost of the funeral. I know who paid what and it certainly was not him. I have the receipts to prove this.
Little white lies add up to big lies. That is the bottom line. After the postponement of the hearing by the Wileys' attorney, this attack on me was a ploy by the Wileys and their insurance company so they could spin their web of deceit through a newspaper unworthy of taking to the bathroom. They intended to cast a bunch of lies and inconsistencies to attempt to influence the judge and the public.
Certainly this case when revealed in the light cast upon it by the Wileys seems insensitive. It is however, well grounded in fact and public policy. You can call me old-fashioned -- a tattooed, ponytailed motorcycle lover, or whatever -- but it does not change the fact that no one, not even the God-fearing Wileys, should leave young children home alone without supervision.
As for Rex Mays, he is a coward. He beat women and abused little girls. His confession suggests that if someone else had been at the Wileys' home and turned down the music as requested he would have never entered the house.
To my friends and others who still support me, thank you. To those of you who have doubts, I pray your children are never harmed as a result of them left unsupervised.
Robert Carreiro
Steve McVicker replies: Whenever Mr. Carreiro first "thought" of pursuing litigation, the fact remains that Rex Mays had been incarcerated for five months following his confession to detectives when Carreiro filed his lawsuit in July 1994. No further investigation was needed. And despite his claim to the contrary, Carreiro was indeed suing for $2.5 million. He is correct when he says his attorney wrote to the Wileys' attorney asking for $2.5 million "or the limits of your client's coverage, whichever is less." In the same letter, however, Carreiro's attorney stated that if the claim were not paid within 15 days, "we will then seek to secure a judgment in excess of the policy limits of the Wiley coverage." Two weeks ago, state District Judge Tracy Christopher threw Carreiro's suit out of court. If a jury had been allowed to hear the case and had sided with Carreiro, it would have been free to award Carreiro whatever amount it deemed fair -- not just the limits of the Wileys' policy. Also, it was never stated in the article that the Wileys' insurance paid for Kynara Carreiro's funeral -- only her burial. Carreiro's attorney, Gregory Stewart, told the Press that State Farm gave Carreiro $2,500 to bury his child.
There were two errors in the story. We reported that State Farm would have been liable for the entire judgment, had there been one against the Wileys. That was wrong: Because Kip Wiley told State Farm not to pay the claim, Wiley, not the insurance company, would have been liable. Also, a statement was erroneously attributed to Wiley that obviously was made by Carreiro: "Before bringing the abbreviated interview to a close, Wiley adds that if he wins the lawsuit, he plans to set up an education fund for his godchild."
The Real Thing
Joanne Harrison's review "Hook, Line and Stinker" [Cafe, October 3] on the King Fish Market almost had me "hooked." The description of the food was enticing and mouthwatering. The personnel sounded friendly and helpful. Being a Flipper fan, Iwas indeed relieved to read that the dolphin is artificial. I do, however, take exception to Harrison's description of the stained-glass bar top as artificial (faux). Every inch of that 45-foot bar was carefully and lovingly handcrafted by my daughter-in-law, Carla Jessup, owner of Heavenly Glass in Rosenberg, using the Tiffany glass method. Each of the hundreds (probably thousands) of pieces of glass was skillfully and painstakingly cut by hand. Each piece was then ground, hand wrapped in copper foil and fitted into its proper place. The individual pieces were then carefully soldered into place in 17 two-to-three-foot panels, with each panel's pattern flowing over into the next, creating a 45-foot custom designed panoramic seascape. The genuine stained glass has been covered with safety glass to protect it.

My daughter-in-law was devestated to read of her art being called fake. I therefore felt the record should be set straight.

Uniformly Positive
Lisa Gray did a great job on writing the "tots-in-uniform" story ["Babes in Uniform," October 3]. While I am pleased that Smaller Scholars was mentioned as one of the pioneers in introducing uniforms, my comment about Westside Montessori did not accurately reflect the spirit and the context in which it was said. Undoubtedly, there is a trend that more and more preschools, including our "neighbors" Westside Montessori, are following in recognizing the importance of uniforms in the school environment. Parents at all of our three Smaller Scholars locations have had nothing but positive things to say about uniforms for the last ten years.

Perfect Way to Practice Law of Attraction
This is an audiobook that puts me in a great mood before I even listen to the entire book. It's got great background music, but all of Anandra Rose's affirmation books do. The affirmations are positive and focus on YOU. They build up your self esteem, evoke positive emotions and leave you feeling refreshed.
She has a very uplifting voice. Definitely enjoyed listening to this voice artist.
I'm heavily into The Secret and the Law of Attraction. When I saw this audiobook was out, I immediately got it. Was not disappointed! It is a great way to make sure my thoughts stay aligned with my attitude in a positive way. I am a huge believer that like attracts like, and I am determined to keep good thoughts about myself and about life. I enjoy all of Anandra Rose's affirmation books, and this one is just as wonderful.

Authorities investigate connection of manga after a 15-year-old girl commits suicide.
A group of parents in the Russian region of Ural has demanded President Vladimir Putin on Thursday to ban the popular manga series Death Note, telling in an open letter that its story is harmful to young readers.
According to local media reports, a 15-year-old girl has jumped-off the window of their 13th floor apartment in Yekaterinburg on February 20, and has left a suicide note together with four (4) Death Note mangas.
In the letter, the parents of the girl has argued that the sales of the books & related DVDs should be banned, because the series has helped generating interests in children and badly affects their emotional development.
But the local police are still investigating the possible connection between the girl's death and the manga series.
Shinigami own notebooks called "Death Notes" which are used as killing devices. Whoever's name they write down in a death note will die within 40 seconds. Shinigami Ryuk dropped his Death Note in the human world where it's found by honor high school student Light. With the death note actually having directions in it for its use, Light discovers he now has the power to discreetly kill people, and with this new power he plans to change the world in his ideal world by killing off criminals. Eventually the governments of the countries around the world notice the unusual amounts of deaths of their criminals, and figure out someone is behind them, but they have no way of discovering it themselves. That's when they hire L, a master detective, to find out who is behind the murders. (Plot Summary from Anime News Network)
Death Note is a Japanese manga series created by writer Tsugumi Ohba and manga artist Takeshi Obata, and was first serialized by Shueisha in the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from December 2003 to May 2006. The manga series has 12 volumes.
The manga series has inspired Light-novel, Anime, Video Game, and Live-action film adaptations.
All 12-volumes of the manga were translated & published in Russia by last year, and because of the manga's popularity among Russian children & youth, the manga can also be bought in bookstores in regional cities.
The series can also be read online for free because of "Russia's inadequate copyright protection."

Player Comments
PC – Classic hybrid looks which promotes confidence from the start. Impressively long.
JW – Smaller head to the G25 which really suits me. The 22˚ worked perfectly. If you need help to get the ball in the air go for the G, if not the i could be the one.
CP – Not the one for me. Distances were decent but couldn't find any consistency.

First thing in the morning we headed to my office for the annual Kids' Christmas Party...which was a blast like always! Pics with Santa, face painting, balloon animals (in our case a fishing pole and a flower), dancing, games, snacks, cookie decorating...there was a lot to do!
After the short trip down memory lane we headed into Santa Town - this was our first visit, but I know it won't be our last! It was c-c-c-cold, but so much fun and the lights were so beautiful!! Snow, hot cocoa, kettle corn, live music, s'mores, shopping, bonfires, longhorns, Santa, hayride through all the lights...uh-maz-ing! We had so much fun...so much that the kids didn't make it five minutes down the road before they passed out cold!

Nottingham, United Kingdom (PressExposure) July 29, 2009 -- If you enjoy mixing business with pleasure, DSR Asset Management Limited has a thousand and one reasons why you should invest in Lancaster Cebu Resort Residences Condotel.
First, this prime investment is located in Cebu City, the second and oldest city in the Philippines and the second most important metropolitan center outside Metro Manila. This Queen City of the South is the Philippinesâ main domestic shipping port and has the second largest international flights in the country. This makes it an important center of commerce, trade and industry in the Visayas and Mindanao regions of the Philippines.
Second, located just three minutes away from Mactan - Cebu International Airport, Lancaster Cebu Resort Residences is the preferred destination of tourists and travelers alike since it provides them the comforts of provincial living and easy access to all the essentials of urban dwelling. Shopping malls, cafes, restaurants, schools and hospitals are all within your reach.
Third, non-residents who visit Manila occasionally for business or vacation can purchase a residential condo or vacation home at Lancaster Cebu without worrying about maintenance and upkeep of the unit. Normally, these costs are shouldered by the owner without getting any benefit. This is true for non-residents who stay at the unit for only a month a year.
With Lancaster Cebuâs unique arrangement, owners can rent out their units on a weekly, monthly or yearly basis when theyâre not around and earn at the same time. This turns the unit into an income-generating and self-liquidating property. There are also no worries since the management looks after the unit and helps maintain it. Plus they enjoy 30-days free usage.
Fourth, flexible two- to five-year payment schemes or a 15-year mortgage plan are available to investors who wish to purchase any of the resortâs studio and two-bedroom fully furnished suites. Prices start at £31,500.
Of course, I can go on and on rambling about what a good investment Lancaster Cebu is. But space limitations prevent me from doing so. Nevertheless, the proof is in the pudding so do yourself a favor today and see what youâre missing.

Here at CityInkExpress, we are often asked for advice on which printer model would be best for our customers. In this blog post, we hope to shed some light on the sometimes bewildering array of options available in the market.
Toner or Inkjet?
Traditionally, businesses have always chosen a laser printer over an inkjet because of the reduced running costs involved with a laser printer. That is no longer necessarily the case, and many small or medium businesses (SMBs) are taking advantage of the latest business inkjet offerings from the various printer manufacturers, with real-world print speeds of up to 22 pages per minute. Fitting a continuous ink system can often be cheaper than using toner cartridges, and the reduced startup costs are very attractive.
Which Printer Manufacturer?
Generally speaking, Canon produce the printers most suited to photo printing, and many of their models are able to handle cardstock up to 300GSM (grams per square metre).
Epson produce fantastic all-round printers, and their small-in-one printers from the Expression range are well suited to families on a budget.
Brother printers are relatively fuss-free, cheap printers suited to a variety of uses. Whether you are a small business looking to print invoices, or need a printer to handle your children's homework, a Brother printer may well be the way to go.
How Much to Spend?
Budget is a concern for most people, and we will always do our best to meet all of your requirements, but as with everything you get what you pay for. We can help you find a professional quality photo printer, or a high-speed printer for invoices, for under £100, but there will be a trade-off in terms of other functions. Ideally, you should look to buy a printer which does everything you need it to, and nothing more. That way, you won't be spending money on a function you won't use.
There is also another key point to consider when buying a new printer: running costs. One of the cheapest printers currently on the market is the Canon iP2850, starting at around £30 plus VAT. If you need a basic printer for occasional use, it may well be the way to go, but the cartridges can cost £25 a set, and will only last for around 180 pages. Clearly, printer price isn't everything.
You're Not Helping. Which Printer Should I Buy?
Alright, back on topic. You need a printer, and you don't know which one. There are too many to choose from, and you don't know how to narrow it down. The easiest way to choose a printer is to ask yourself the following questions:
If you can answer most of these, we will find the printer for you. Here are some examples of printers which we might recommend for different uses*:
"I just want a printer. For printing."
The Epson WF-3010DW is a fantastic little printer. It is completely lacking in bells and whistles, which means that the money goes to producing one of the best small printers on the market. At 9.2 colour pages per minute (or 15ppm in black and white), with automatic duplexing and wireless functionality, and a 250-sheet paper tray as standard, the WF-3010DW punches well above its weight in terms of print quality and speed. If you want all of this and a scanner as well, you would have to spend twice as much on the printer!
"I need something cheap with a scanner to print the kids' homework, and occasional photos."
Epson's Expression small-in-one printers are ideal for light use in a home environment. The XP-225 is the cheapest currently on offer, and for just £45 you can have a USB printer/scanner/copier capable of handling all types of printing.
"I need a printer for the office, as cheap as possible. I mainly print invoices."
Brother's all-in-one printers offer a very competitively priced option for small businesses or home offices. With prices from £75, the DCP-J4110DW is a real workhorse. With print speeds of 16 pages per minute, and the option of occasional A3 printing as well as a scanner/copier, many businesses should look no further than Brother's J4000 range of printers. For larger offices, the J5000 series is well worth a look, as they are more suited to heavy use.
"I want a professional-quality photo printer, but I don't want to spend any money."
The Canon Pixma iP7250 was made for photo printing. For just £60, you can have a wireless printer with a maximum print resolution of 9600*4800 dpi, and capable of handling cardstock up to 300gsm.
"I would like a printer for heavy use in the office."
This is a request we get a lot, and there are plenty of options to choose from. Whether it's Epson WorkForce Pro range, Canon's new MAXIFY printers, HP's OfficeJet Pro or Brother's J5000/6000 range, there is a huge range of inkjet printers available for SMBs. Different prices and print speeds, along with other options such as fax and double-sided scanning, enable you to find the perfect printer for your requirements.
"I don't like any of those. My needs are different."
That's not a problem. Drop us an email to email@example.com and we'll find a printer/CISS combination to suit any environment.
*Prices and current models are correct as of 29/01/2015. Links provided are to printer bundles, with a CISS and 100ml bottles of ink included in the price.

My first CISS from City Ink Express was bought 3 years ago and I am still using it! The original printer passed away 2 years ago and I just transferred the CISS to a new printer. Simples! Shane at CIE is wonderfully patient and helpful, and although I was a complete novice he managed to turn me into a CISS expert!
Currently I am running two ip4850 printers and an ix6500 A3 printer (which has to be the best A3 printer bargain on the planet), all with CISS's from Shane - one of the CISS's is on its 3rd printer (started with a 4700, then a 3600 and now on a 4850). The inks are all the same (just in different orders) and the chips from the cartridges supplied with the printer can just be transferred to the old CISS cartridges.
As my business expands (yes, I am making a profit thanks to the reduced ink costs!), I will be ordering more CISS's from Shane. The range of Canon printers he now has CISS's for is amazing. There is absolutely no discernable difference between a CISS with Lyson ink and the original cartridges. OK, my eyes are not what they used to be, but a young photographer friend of mine cannot tell the difference either.
If you are worried about investing in one of City Ink Express's CISS's then don't – talk to Shane & if you are still not convinced email him & he will pass the email to me – I'll soon convince you!

Cityinkexpress offer amazing value that makes colour printing cheaper than ever! I print approximately 2800 double sided colour A4 sheets (5600 prints) for a village newsletters every 2 months plus a lot of business printing. I reckon the 5600 prints I have done in the last week cost slightly over 1 penny each! I actually printed nearly all of them with the ink that came with the CISS system apart from a top up of black ink.
I very quickly stopped buying the molten gold they put in original cartidges and for years I was buying cheap compatible cartridges then I started to buy refillable cartridges, refilling them with syringes. Then I saw Cityinkexpress's CISS systems and I am certain there is no cheaper way to print.
With a decent printer and a CISS system you just keep topping up the CISS with ink (just pour it in) and that's it! The huge amount of ink that comes with the system gives me an almost immediate payback. They are very helpful too, I wear out a printer every few months and I always ask them to suggest a printer then I get a CISS system and a printer to match it so I never have to buy any cartridges.
I see they now do packs with printers and CISS systems so it will be easier than ever next time. Thanks Cityinkexpress!
Best regards,

Received CISS ink system within 3 days of ordering, up and running in a matter of hours with excellent print results. A must for anyone who is printing on a day to day basis.

I have to say my CISS Ink System saves me a fortune, the ink quality is great, the set up is simple, refilling is a breeze, all in all we could not ask for more from a product!

Police: Woman, 73, raped in Central Park
A 73-year-old woman bird-watching in Central Park was raped around lunchtime Wednesday by a man whom she had recently photographed performing a lewd act in the bushes, police said.
The victim was being treated for the attack in the bushes by the Strawberry Fields section near West 74th Street and Central Park West, according to investigators. Police said the suspect remains at large.
Police didn't know the extent of her injuries late Wednesday.
An NYPD spokesman said about a week ago the victim discovered the suspect, described as about 40 to 50 years old, masturbating near the Bramble, a wooded area north of Central Park Lake, and snapped his picture. The suspect unsuccessfully demanded that the woman delete the image, said NYPD spokesman Paul Browne.
The scene of Wednesday's attack is about 2,000 feet from where she had photographed the man, police said.
Moments before the attack Wednesday, the suspect asked her, "Do you remember me?" in what the woman described as a Russian or Ukranian accent, said Browne.
Afterward, the man took the woman's backpack and attempted to take her watch, but the band broke, said Browne. He then fled with the backpack, which contained a camera, although police aren't sure if it was the one she used to take the man's photograph, he said. Police are hoping that they can obtain an image of the man from the photograph.
A passerby made a 911 call to police. The case is being investigated by the Manhattan Special Victims unit.
Central Park is generally considered one of the safer areas of the city; its police precinct received only 69 reports of serious felonies this year through Sunday. Until Wednesday, there had been no rapes reported in the park this year, compared with two in 2011. Overall crime in the Central Park precinct is down about 1.5 percent from last year and 18.62 percent compared with 2010.

ASFC VTA Eco Pass
Ride VTA with Your Eco Pass
Effective winter 2014, the ASFC VTA Eco Pass is incorporated onto a "Clipper Card," a reloadable smart card used for electronic transit fare payment in the Bay Area.
The VTA Eco Pass provides all Foothill students unlimited rides on Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) buses and light rail within Santa Clara County for the duration of a quarter term.
The Eco Pass is valid only for VTA services within Santa Clara County.
The Eco Pass is still good for only one quarter at a time (see dates below), but the Clipper Card is good for multiple quarters and for life beyond Foothill.
To get your Eco Pass, go to the Foothill College Smart Shop in the Campus Center and ask for your Clipper Card.
The following restrictions apply:
- You must be an enrolled student in the current quarter.
- All registration fees must be paid.
- You must live in Santa Clara County NOTE: All students who live in Santa Clara County are required to pay the Clipper Card Fee
- If you live outside Santa Clara County and have been exempted from the fee but would like to get an Eco Pass, you just need to pay the $3-5 fee.
Clipper Card
The Clipper Card Eco Pass is a proximity card. To use your Clipper card, locate the Clipper card reader at the entrance of the transit vehicle, fare gates or station and hold your card flat against the Clipper logo until you hear a beep or the gates open.
Your Clipper Card can be used for other transportation agencies provided you add funds or purchase passes to be saved on to the card.
Bus Routes to Foothill College
Currently two bus lines stop on the main campus — VTA routes 40 and 52 stop at Foothill.
The VTA Eco Pass is eligible to be waived if a student lives outside of the Santa Clara County and is enrolled in online class(es) ONLY for the quarter.
When Can You Use the Eco Pass?
The ASFC Eco Pass is valid seven days a week for VTA buses and light rail ONLY - see table below for valid
dates for each quarter; you must be enrolled for the quarter and have paid your fees
or be on a payment plan to order a new Eco Pass. If there is no easy route for you to commute by bus to school, you can still use
the ASFC Eco Pass on weekends or any other time that is convenient.
The ASFC Eco Pass is not valid on ACE, Amtrak, BART, Caltrain, Highway 17 Express, Dumbarton Express, Monterey-Salinas Transit, and SamTrans.

How is the Eco Pass Program Funded?
All enrolled Foothill students are eligible for the VTA ASFC Eco Pass program through a mandatory quarterly fee, which was established by the Foothill Associated Student Body (ASFC) during a spring 2011 proposition vote that passed and was approved by the Foothill-De Anza Board of Trustees. Part-time students with 0 to 5.9 units pay $3 per quarter, part-time students with 6 to 11.9 units pay $4 per quarter, and full-time students with 12 or more units pay $5 per quarter.
Vote in ASFC Eco Pass Fee Increase Election
ASFC will hold a general student election on Nov. 6–9 to decide whether to keep the Eco Pass program at Foothill College with a fee increase.

The llama (Lama glama) is a South American camelid, widely used as a meat and pack animal by Andean cultures since pre-Hispanic times.
The height of a full-grown, full-size llama is 1.7 to 1.8 m (5.5 to 6.0 ft) tall at the top of the head, and can weigh between 130 to 200 kilograms (280 to 450 lb). At birth, a baby llama (called a cria) can weigh between 9 and 14 kilograms (20 and 30 lb). Llamas can live for a period of about 2030 years depending on how well they are taken care of.[citation needed] Llamas are very social animals and live with other llamas as a herd. The wool produced by a llama is very soft and lanolin-free. Llamas are intelligent and can learn simple tasks after a few repetitions. When using a pack, llamas can carry about 25% to 30% of their body weight for several miles.[1]

Holy Grail Chocolate Chip Cookies
I think I've found it – the holy grail of chocolate chip cookie recipes. It's soft, chewy and a little fluffy. I started with the Sunset magazine recipe, and messed with it a little (because I just can't leave well enough alone). These are fab, easy and sooooo yummy. I think it's the absence of the white sugar that gives them their chewy yumminess. But hey, that's my opinion. 😉
Note: You can certainly use all-purpose flour for all of the flour (2 1/2 cups total). Also, play with peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips or whatever suits you! Now for that recipe…
Holy Grail Chocolate Chip Cookies

Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Author: Brandie Kajino, Spoon and Saucer
- 1 cup (1/2 lb.) butter, at room temperature
- 1½ cups firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (12 oz.)
- ½ cup dark chocolate, chopped
- In a bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and brown sugar until well blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
- In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir or beat these dry ingredients into butter mixture until well incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips and chopped chocolate.
- Drop dough in 2-tablespoon (1/8-cup) portions, 2 inches apart, onto buttered (or parchment/silpat lined) 12- by 15-inch baking sheets.
- Bake in a 400° oven until cookies are lightly browned and no longer wet in the center (break one open to check), about 6 to 8 minutes; if baking more than one pan at a time, switch pan positions halfway through baking.
- With a wide spatula, transfer cookies to racks to cool. If hot cookies start to break, slide a thin spatula under them to release; let stand on pan to firm up, 2 to 5 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

Solid Waste Management - A Step towards Sustainable Development
Sumita Vyas
Rai Business School, Bhadbhada Road, Near Depot Square, Bhopal – 462003, India
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Sustainable development is a concept. It underscores that rate of consumption of natural resources should approximate the rate at which these resources can be substituted. It further requires that a nation is able to satisfy its requirements – social, economic and others – without jeopardizing interest of future generations. Nature has been offering its resources and also serving as a receptacle for absorbing wastes for too long a time. Realization must come to us that nature today is fragile. Significant factors responsible for environmental problems are pollution, over-population, threat of diseases, unsustainable agriculture, global climate change, solid wastes generation and so on. This has, therefore, revealed the need for developing innovative solutions to these problems and one among them is Management of Solid Wastes. To this end, a step towards sustainable development is adopted in this paper by an approach for managing solid wastes to minimize its detrimental effect by employing various techniques.
Keywords: Solid Waste Management, Hazardous Waste, Sustainable Development, Global Climate Change, Unsustainable Agriculture, Environmental Management.

UC Santa Cruz College Scholars Program
Updated March 9, 2017
The UC Santa Cruz College Scholars Program offers a congenial and stimulating academic home for a select group of well-prepared students at UC Santa Cruz. Through this honors program, students can expect to challenge themselves academically, find other students who are similarly motivated, and explore undergraduate research. This enriched program of study includes special courses, seminars, colloquia, and other events during each quarter of the academic year.
The College Scholars Program provides an opportunity for outstanding students to engage deeply with the best of UCSC. Early in their career, students are able to explore the full potential of the university setting, beyond the coursework that might be required in their respective disciplines. They participate in demanding, small-scale, and research-oriented courses that catalyze creative thinking and offer a springboard to other undergraduate research opportunities.
The College Scholars Program has close ties to the college system. In 2017-2018, Fall Start Scholars (see below for information on Fall Start Scholars) will live at Cowell or Crown College. Each college will have a cohort of about 20-25 College Scholars Program students, and students in each cohort will be housed together. Students receive priority enrollment during their time in the program.
The academic program is designed to both challenge participants and give them a firm footing in our research university.
Year 1
Fall Quarter—College Core Course: Students enroll in a College Scholars Program offering of the college "core course," a writing seminar focused on the college theme that UCSC frosh take within their college community.
The College Scholars Program core courses foster analytic capacity through writing and classroom discussions. Experienced faculty introduce students to the use of primary sources, the development of effective questions, analytical writing, and discussion skills.
Winter Quarter—Service Learning Course: All students will take a two-credit service learning course offered through Cowell College. This course entails three main components: classroom meetings, journal reflections and papers, and placement in a local organization. Guest speakers are a part of the class and in the past have included local alumni and elected public officials, all working to promote positive social change locally, nationally, or internationally. Over the course of the term, students donate 40 hours of work to an organization in the community. Organizations that have welcomed students in the past include: the Homeless Service Center, Rising International, Santa Cruz Boys and Girls Club, and the Museum of Art and History.
Spring Quarter—Faculty Research Colloquium: Students participate in a two-credit course where weekly faculty lectures are followed by dinner at one of the Provosts' houses. Each student is invited to attend one dinner during the term.
Faculty guests will be drawn from a variety of fields within the university, and students will be encouraged to listen to and appreciate scholars and scholarship beyond their own comfortable niche in engineering, biology, linguistics, music, or whatever their area of interest may be. The invited scholars will be speaking not only about the substance of their work, but also about the types of questions that are particular to their fields of study. By the end of the course, students should have a good sense of the modes of inquiry that animate intellectual life in a research university.
Year 2
Fall Quarter—Seminar: Students choose from one of several five-unit seminars. Each of the seminars focuses on developing significant hands-on skills: whether it is a chance to "do real science" through guided research in the field and in a lab, or address important primary sources directly and debate them together in a text-centered seminar room, students will get training in the real intellectual work that scholars do. All of the seminars bear general education credit and are taught by an exceptional UC Santa Cruz faculty member or researcher.
Winter Quarter—Research Development: Students will have the option of developing a research proposal in conjunction with a faculty member. At the end of the quarter, students can submit their proposals for review and possible funding.
Fall Start—Invitation Only: Admission to the Fall Start cohort of College Scholars Program is by invitation. A select group of UCSC applicants offered admission to the university will be invited to join the program, based on their record of academic achievement. Fall start students will live at Cowell or Crown College.
Spring Start—Fall UCSC Courses: Students can also apply for the College Scholars Program after the fall of their first year. In this case, students will join the program during the spring research colloquium. Spring Start students will be selected based on applications reviewed through their college.
Inquiries regarding the College Scholars Program can be directed to Associate Professor Matt O'Hara, Director of Undergraduate Honors Programs, email@example.com

Penguins' Addition of Jarome Iginla Makes Pittsburgh Team to Beat in 2013March 28, 2013
As if the Pittsburgh Penguins' offense couldn't get any scarier, the Pens acquired veteran right winger Jarome Iginla in a trade with the Calgary Flames late Wednesday night (via ESPN.com), instantly making the Eastern Conference leader the team to beat in 2013.
Led by a resurgent Sidney Crosby and his league-leading 54 points, the Pens have won 13 straight games since the start of March and are even giving the Western Conference-leading Chicago Blackhawks a run for the Presidents' Trophy.
But never mind Pittsburgh's impressive streak or its quest to lock up home ice in the Stanley Cup playoffs for now, because the addition of Iginla this spring makes the offensive juggernaut a threat to win it all, regardless of where, when or who its playing.
Sure, the 35-year-old has just 22 points (nine goals and 13 assists) in 31 games this season. But that now gives the Pens eight 20-plus point scorers with a month to play in the regular season.
This is a Pittsburgh team with a NHL-leading 117 goals through 34 games in 2013. Without Iginla, the Penguins featured the most lethal attack in hockey, and to think it just got better?
Plus, the league's second-best power play just got a boost with Iginla's arrival in the Steel City. The Edmonton native has two goals and four assists on the power play this season and will give Pens coach Dan Bylsma another reliable option to lead the charge.
Even with superstar Evgeni Malkin still out and waiting to return to full strength from a shoulder injury, the Pens would have to be considered the hands-down favorite to hoist the Stanley Cup if the postseason started right now. They've scored a goal in every game this season and have scored four or more goals in six of their last 13 wins.
With a veteran weapon like Iginla on board, and boasting the most explosive offense in the league, the Penguins simply need talented goalies Marc-Andre Fleury and Tomas Vokoun to be average moving forward if they hope to win their second Stanley Cup in four years this summer.
There's no denying that, on paper, this Pittsburgh team is frightening, and on the ice, there's little doubt the Pens, who now possess another hungry star in Iginla, will be the team to beat come playoff time.

As October's referendum on the Iraqi constitution nears, the U.S. is increasing troop levels to help deal with any potential disruptions. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced on Wednesday that at least 1,500 additional troops from two battalions of the 82nd Airborne Division from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, would be deployed in mid-September.
Senior commanders requested the troops amid concerns that insurgents might increase their attacks in an attempt to disrupt the October 15 referendum and national elections in December, according to a report by The New York Times. Along with an increase announced last week, the latest troop deployment of American forces in Iraq would bring the total number of soldiers up from 138,000 to nearly 160,000. The final tally includes a delay in the departure of some units that were due to leave in the fall and the early deployment of other units.
The 82nd Airborne troops will likely be used at checkpoints and would remain in Iraq for no more than four months, officials told the Times. "Regrettably, completing the constitution is not likely to end all the violence in Iraq or solve all of the country's problems," Rumsfeld said. Troop levels were previously increased during last June's transfer to sovereignty and January's elections.
While Rumsfeld was announcing the increases, London's Financial Times reported that the U.S. is expected to remove a "significant" amount of troops from Iraq in the next 12 months. Major General Douglas Lute, director of operations at U.S. central command, told the Financial Times that the reductions were part of a push to shift the burden of defending Iraq to Iraqi forces.
In a speech on Wednesday, President Bush again vowed not to pull out of Iraq before he thinks the job there is done. Speaking to a gathering of National Guard troops and their families in Idaho, Bush, trying to link Iraq with terrorism, said, "So long as I'm the president, we will stay, we will fight, and we will win the war on terror." The president, in the midst of a three-day trip to Utah and Idaho to drum up flagging support for the war, later met privately with relatives of troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to The Associated Press.
Though he didn't mention anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan by name, Bush made a veiled reference to the ongoing peace vigil by the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq. "An immediate withdrawal of our troops in Iraq or the broader Middle East, as some have called for, would only embolden the terrorists," Bush claimed.
Sheehan, who has drawn international attention for the vigil she has maintained outside of Bush's Texas ranch for nearly a month, returned on Wednesday to her makeshift camp after spending time with her sick mother in California. "This is where I belong, until August 31, like I told the president," Sheehan said.
Despite its rejection by minority Sunni Arabs and bickering between rival factions in the Shiite majority over several points, the Iraqi parliament had hoped to approve a final draft of a constitution on Thursday (August 25), according to a Reuters report. "By the end of the day we will have a final version of the draft," government spokesperson Laith Kubba said. "It will be approved. The National Assembly will then rubber-stamp it." At day's end, a spokesperson for the parliament said its members would take one more day to try to resolve the disputes, with a compromise agreement now expected by Friday.
Kubba said the government is prepared to risk the rejection of the document at the October 15 referendum, which would dissolve parliament and force the entire constitutional process to begin from scratch during another year of provisional rule. As of late Wednesday, the Shia and Kurd majority coalition had threatened to force the constitution through parliament if a consensus could not be reached with the Sunni minority.
At press time, however, Iraqi politicians continued to negotiate the terms of the new constitution, working from a draft submitted to parliament just before Monday's midnight deadline (see "Iraqi Lawmakers Deliver Final Constitution But Delay Vote").
Some headway was made on the three main sticking points, most significantly on the disagreement over federalism (which would allow for semi-autonomous regions within the country). The other two areas of trouble are the mentioning of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party in the constitution and the division of power between the president, parliament and cabinet. Sunni leaders have threatened that a civil war could break out if all three parties do not agree on the constitution.

TERADEK BOND 3G/4G Cellular Bonding Solution
Stream Over Multiple Cellular Networks
Bond enables streaming 1080p HD video over five 3G/4G cellular modems from carriers worldwide. The device aggregates bandwidth from several cellular connections simultaneously and uses them in parallel to create a single, higher capacity connection for broadcasting over the Internet. Whether you are streaming directly to the Web or feeding content back to the control room, the Teradek Bond can transmit video to nearly any platform.
Send Your Content Anywhere
The Teradek Bond enables you to transmit your live HD content directly to the Internet or back to your station with the option to monitor your live feed on your iOS device. Bond's revolutionary Adaptive Internet Streaming technology constantly adjusts the video bit rate in real time to adapt to varying network conditions. This will ensure that your content is delivered reliably and at the highest quality possible to its destination.
Sputnik Server
Sputnik is Teradek's software interface between Bond and your streaming destination. Sputnik is designed to run on a Linux computer either in the cloud (using Amazon's EC2 services) or on a local server with a single, publicly addressable TCP port. Sputnik recombines the various video feeds from Bond into a cohesive stream that can then be sent to an H.264 decoder or played back online.

Bond Pro's modular design and ease of use make it a simple addition to any broadcast rig. Its light weight and low power consumption allows cameramen to quickly manoeuvre within tight spaces and broadcast live for long periods of time without interruption or fatigue.
Like all of Teradek's encoders and bonding solutions, Bond Pro utilizes Sputnik 2.0, which gives news stations IFB communication and real-time broadcast status monitoring.
The device comes with an HD-SDI input, HD-SDI loop and a full SD card slot for on-board proxy recording. This new design also provides support for up to 6 simultaneous cellular network connections via USB dongles.
Additionally, Bond Pro offers the same updated modem mounting option as Bond II, which ensures your cellular dongles are protected from aggressive handling.
When the situation calls for nimble movement and extended broadcasts, Bond Pro delivers the most empowering bonding solution for ENG professionals.

By Shami Dugal
This is not a technically or fiscally motivated article. It is philosophical in nature and may raise more questions for reflection than delivering answers or recipes for solutions. At the very least it provides a methodology or lifecycle for discussing equity and fairness in social policy which is a recursive loop of resources, recipients, redistribution, rationale and results.
At one extreme, equity and fairness implies a balance between need and fulfilment. At the other end of the spectrum are personal choices and outcomes from those choices. If two individuals begin life in the same social strata, they may not end up in an equal position in terms of wealth and position. This can be considered an example of horizontal equity. If they begin in different social strata, there is greater likelihood that those starting from a higher social position, with its inherent benefits, will enjoy better results than someone climbing the social ladder. This is a view of vertical equity. Since life is governed by social position, circumstances, personal motivation and often pure chance like winning the lottery, how can equity and fairness be realized?
Who should get what, how much, for what types of needs and under what circumstances? What will be the results of such allocation and how will they be measured? Who can decide what the measures should be and will they result in equity, equality or simply meet some established baseline? What are the short and long term effects of such policies? Does the electorate have the patience to wait for results or will it knee-jerk a new round of changes before the first ones have had time to mature?
To what degree does the State owe citizens a level of equitable distribution of opportunities and resources? Should equity be a goal of economic policy? Does equity promote growth? If the moral objective of social policy is to promote the well-being of the lower economic classes, it will undoubtedly cause redistribution of resources because the collection of funds to support the state's policies can only come from those that are well off, currently termed the "one percent." Today, the United States is mired in discussions about how the President's policies are wrapped around redistribution of wealth and resources, thereby causing the country to drift closer to socialist policies.
People migrate to the United States in search of a better life. That constitutes opportunity, employment, decent wages and basic life amenities such as food, shelter, transportation and healthcare. This standard has been diminishing for a number of reasons which are hotly disputed both across and within political parties. What one political party calls excessive greed is considered just rewards from a desired laissez faire economic environment. What is the new normal? Is there a new economic order that is emerging?
When I speak to people from other countries, there is not as much of a desire as before to migrate to the United States. Certainly there are countries with wars, strife and refugees for whom anything other than their current conditions would be a god send. However, emerging countries are retaining business, talent and in fact attracting work from the so called "first world" countries. Their view is that an equalization of power and wealth is taking place.
The advantage that the United States has over most countries is its intellectual ability to deal rationally with its issues and find improvements through a democratic process. One has to believe that the pushing and pulling from different ideologies will result in systems that will eventually benefit all the citizens and not just the one percent or the ninety-nine percent. While the country is going through intense soul searching, the next decade and rounds of elections will determine what path the country takes in rationalizing how to deal with the five R's.
On a final anecdotal note, I worked for a large chartered bank as an IT manager some years ago. Those times were reminiscent of today when the economy was soft. The bank, in its wisdom to achieve some measure of fairness, decided one year to offer an across the board increase to staff but not its management. My boss, a tall self-styled version of Don Rickles, muttered to me that the peasants were getting too close. That was a moment of realization for me of the disparity between the two classes and the desire for one to stay well above the other. No doubt that element still exists, but it there is a surging demand for that gap to close.

MPs slam 'doom-and-gloom' prediction that Britain will lose £60billion because of Brexit
EUROSCEPTIC ministers have slammed the Government's prediction that Brexit will cost Britain almost £60billion in lost economic growth.
The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) formally announced it was no longer going to balance the books before the end of this Parliament – something previous Chancellor, George Osborne, was hell-bent on – but pledged to continue to create new jobs and grow the economy.
The advisory body claimed Britain would need to borrow £58.7billion because of Brexit – despite not having any information about what Mrs May's Brexit plan entails.
Philip Hammond delivered his his budget as Chancellor today
Yet again one of these forecasting engines that is very close to the Treasury has come out with another utter doom and gloom scenario
The OBR admitted there was 50 per cent chance the predictions were wrong and MPs have lambasted the negative forecast and condemned them as "not worth the paper it is written on".
Former Work and Pensions Secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, said: "The key thing is that the OBR has been wrong in every single forecast they've made so far. On the deficit, on growth, on jobs - they've pretty much been wrong on everything.
"Yet again one of these forecasting engines that is very close to the Treasury has come out with another utter doom and gloom scenario."
Philip Hammond
Conservative MP Philip Davies added: "It seems their forecasts are based on their personal political opinions about Brexit rather than on any genuine attempt at an accurate and independent forecast."
The OBR – which was set up by George Osborne in 2010 – announced growth would be 2.4 per cent lower during the next five years and would stack an extra £122billion on Government borrowing.
The Autumn Statement was the first to be delivered by the new Chancellor Philip Hammond and was five months to the day since Britain voted to escape the Brussels red-tape.
During the hour long-speech, Mr Hammond promised to invest more than £20billion on infrastructure during the next few years and announced fuel duty would not rise for the seventh year in a row, saving drivers £130 a year.
Labour's John McDonnell attacked Hammond's plans and proposed an archaic return to a 50p top rate of tax.
Former Chancellor George Osborne set up the OBR in 2010
The Shadow Chancellor said: "We've seen productivity stagnate, but there's nothing in this Autumn Statement on the scale needed to overturn those six wasted years.
"If the Chancellor really wants to make a fair tax system as well, he can start by bringing back the 50p rate for the very richest in our country."

Techcombank – Interest income vs. expense vs. NIM
2017 and 2016 first quarter profit break-down
With 7.3 per cent credit growth while provision expenses jumped 324.4 per cent year-on-year and accounted for 59 per cent of pre-provisioning profits, Techcombank's pre-tax profit fell by more than three-quarters from a high of VND4.22 trillion ($185.7 million) in 2011 to just over VND1 trillion ($44 million) in 2012. Both return on assets and equity also slipped, from 1.83 per cent and 28.87 per cent a year earlier to a disappointing 0.42 per cent and 5.58 per cent by the end of 2012.
Its 2016, net profit climbed 105.92 per cent year-on-year, supported by loans growth, a higher NIM, and solid non-interest income.
Then, in mid-June, the announcement came that the bank was seeking shareholder approval for HSBC to sell its entire stake of 172.32 million shares. Techcombank officials declined to comment when asked by VET.
To some extent, this can either be understood as "we [HSBC] are fine with the break-up because the strategic partnership has never been more than just an initial platform" or "there will be little or no impact on HSBC's vision in Vietnam post-parting."
Having cut more than half of its stake in Techcombank to the current 15 per cent to meet the limits on owning no more than 20 per cent of charter capital in a credit institution, the "quasi-private" conglomerate still owns a 30.4 per cent interest in the bank through bond acquisitions in 2010.
As the Board and its related parties hold a total stake of 5.82 per cent, senior leadership roles at Techcombank are still in the hands of Masan personnel, including Chairman Mr. Ho Hung Quang, First Vice Chairman Mr. Nguyen Dang Quang, and Vice Chairman Mr. Nguyen Thieu Quang.

Being strong is good. Strength doesn't mean only physical strength in the form of muscles. It could be emotional strength, strength of character or even intellectual strength too.
Also Read: Are You An Option Or A Priority?
Well, generally strong people are easily misunderstood as they are different compared to others. They may come across as difficult.
Also Read: Does Wearing Socks Boost Female Libido?
Well, we are not talking about egotistic people who have a heavy attitude. Such people are surely difficult to handle. But we are talking about kind-hearted people who are strong. Such people may also be perceived as difficult sometimes. Let us see why....
Are Strong People Difficult In Relationships?
As strong people have specific opinions about people and life in general, they do come across as difficult, but it may not be so if you understand them.
As strong people don't give up easily, sometimes they may come across as stubborn. They may want things to go in a specific way.
As strong people don't shed tears or get too emotional, they may come across as heartless. But they have trained themselves to handle life's ups and downs without losing control over emotions.
As strong people may always try to be right, they may not bend in any argument and therefore, they may get easily misunderstood.
As strong people put in a lot and expect you to do the same, they may seem demanding in a relationship.
As strong people are capable of giving and taking lots of attention, they may seem overpowering sometimes.
As strong people have a very powerful charisma, they may seem to dissolve your identity. These are the reasons why they seem to be difficult but a lot depends upon how compatible you are with the person when it comes to getting along with someone whether it is strong or a normal person.
