1943 Miss America Pageant
Pageant Results > Miss America Pageant > 1943
Jean Bartel, Miss California, won the 1943 Miss America Pageant, where she was crowned by her predecessor, Jo-Carroll Dennison, Miss America 1942, making her the second war-time titleholder. Informed backstage that she was the winner, Bartel emerged from behind the
curtains to greet the audience and walk the runway as the band serenaded her to the graduation tune, "Pomp and Circumstance".
Bartel was a double preliminary winner, winning both the swimsuit competition and talent competition earlier that week, where she Cole Porter's sang "Night and Day".
Jean Bartel, Miss America 1943, Miss California, inspired the pageant to develop its now famous scholarship program.
A UCLA student and Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority member, Jean Bartel was a well educated, confident, intelligent, articulate, talented college woman, clearly reflective of the best of American young womanhood …and exactly the type of participant the pageant's director Lenora Slaughter had hoped the pageant would increasingly attract.
Serving at the height of American involvement in World War II, Jean's reign was heavily focused on supporting patriotism and the war effort. Bartel worked tirelessly selling war bonds.
As Bartel continued her successful nationwide travels as Miss America 1943, director Slaughter tackled the daunting task of beginning to solicit American business leaders to contribute donations to fund her a scholarship fund for women. Although rebuffed continuously by uninterested businessmen throughout 1943 and 1944, she continued undaunted in her efforts and managed to elicit a handful of businesses to contribute the first contributions to the new Miss America scholarship fund. By September 1945, a $5000 would be awarded to whoever earned the 1945 Miss America title.
After her reign, Bartel went on to star on Broadway, have a TV show, produce documentaries, and perform extensively throughout and United States and many countries. Some of her theater, television and film credits include:
- The Love Boat (1984)
- The Oscar (1966)
- "Sanctuary" (1961)
- "Racket Squad" (1952)
- Of Thee I Sing" [Broadway](1952)
- The Desert Song [Broadway] (1946)
Bartel became a beloved Miss America who worked tirelessly to promote the pageant and its scholarship
program. Jean was married William Hogue and died at age eighty-seven in March 2011.

Friedrich Kellner Quotes
10 of 11
The craziest of all political systems, the unique dictatorship, found its earned end. History will note for eternity that the German people were not able on their own initiative to shake off the yoke of the National Socialists. The victory of the Americans, English and Russians was a necessary occurrence to disrupt the National Socialists' delusions and plans for world domination.

I needed another Bourbon like I needed another hole in my head. Larceny Bourbon was on sale at the NC liquor stores for $25 and I passed not knowing anything about the spirit. This past week I found myself in VA and decided to check out their liquor stores. Low and behold Larceny was still $25, but had a rebate for $10. I don't know about you, but for 15 beans I'm more than willing to give an unknown fifth a whirl.
Turns out this Bourbon is from Heaven Hill and is a mix of 100 barrels or less from the 4th, 5th and 6th floor of the aging warehouse. The website says the barrels are 4 to 20 years in age and I saw elsewhere someone said 6 to 12 years. At any rate to my nose the Bourbon comes off a little boozy at first, but is smooth and easy drinking over ice. I like to try Bourbon over ice and then mix with ginger for the ultimate litmus test. I know people roll their eyes at that abomination, but my theory is the ginger is exactly the same each and every time and the difference between is the Bourbon. This one is perfect for a cocktail or over ice. I don't think neat it would be my preference, probably a little too boozy, but with the ice and water which melts off it was pretty nice by itself.
Glad to see my luck with unknown quantities improve after the monkey juice called Lexington Bourbon and the boring Jefferson's Bourbon. At $25 this is good Bourbon, at $15 after rebate this stuff is fantastic. 😉

Accessory cholera enterotoxin (Ace), the third toxin of a Vibrio cholerae virulence cassette
Vibrio cholerae causes the potentially lethal disease cholera through the elaboration of the intestinal secretogen cholera toxin. A second toxin of V. cholerae, Zot, decreases intestinal tissue resistance by modifying intercellular tight junctions. In this report, a third toxin of V. cholerae, Ace (accessory cholera enterotoxin), is described. Ace increases short-circuit current in Ussing chambers and causes fluid secretion in ligated rabbit ileal loops. The predicted protein sequence of Ace shows striking similarity to eukaryotic ion-transporting ATPases, including the product of the cystic fibrosis gene. The gene encoding Ace is located immediately upstream of the genes encoding Zot and cholera toxin. The ctx, zot, and ace genes, which are located on a dynamic sector of the chromosome, comprise a V. cholerae "virulence cassette."

Poughkeepsie…Applications for Dutchess County's 2016 Municipal Consolidation & Shared Services Grant Program (MCSSGP) are now being accepted from local municipalities. Last week, Dutchess County Executive Marcus Molinaro announced a one-time supplement to the MCSSGP which will provide additional funding for projects that reduce and/or minimize the property tax levy imposed on residents. Staff from the Dutchess County Department of Planning and Development attended last week's monthly meeting of the Dutchess County Supervisors and Mayors Association to participate in a roundtable discussion to brainstorm shared services and consolidation opportunities.
County Executive Molinaro said, "Our Municipal Consolidation and Shared Services Grant Program has started important conversations among local communities about working together to provide better services and save taxpayer dollars. This year, we can further incentivize municipalities to save tax dollars with a special supplement to the MCSSGP to fund projects that would have been out of reach for them and still remain under the tax cap. We hope many municipalities take advantage of this opportunity and deliver tax savings to their residents."
The Municipal Consolidation & Shared Services Grant Program incentivizes municipal projects that provide greater efficiencies or reduce the total cost of local government through the consolidation of services, creation of shared services, elimination of an entire government entity, establishment of the regional delivery of services, and/or increased efficiencies. Applications are currently being accepted and must be submitted by 12:00pm on June 17th with award announcements expected in September.
The one-time supplement to the MCSSGP, known as the Property Tax Relief Grant, will award funding to critical capital projects that can result in meaningful savings to aid local municipal efforts to reduce and/or minimize the property tax levy imposed on residents. The larger the proposed savings, as measured over a five-year period, the higher the priority. Grant awards will be a maximum of $250,000 and minimum of $20,000, and there is no local match requirement. Applications for the Property Tax Relief Grant must be submitted by July 1st with award announcements also expected in September.
At the Supervisors and Mayors Association meeting, municipal officials discussed the needs of their communities and their hopes for obtaining long-term financial stability under the restrictions of the property tax cap. Some of the areas of concern included the rising cost of health insurance, the need to address emergency services, failing water and sewer infrastructure, dilapidated highway garages, and struggles with road maintenance. The discussion also included opportunities for future shared services and efficiencies.
Dutchess County Community Development Administrator Anne Saylor said, "It was encouraging to see the wide range of items that were touched on during the discussion. Communities discussed modernizing and sharing financial software, IT infrastructure and services, performance management systems, and reviewing current operations, as well as sharing items like equipment and salt sheds. In addition to providing funding, the County wants to provide technical assistance and support to communities so they can successfully implement these projects."
According to Aileen Rohr, Supervisor of the Town of Hyde Park and President of the Supervisors and Mayors Association, "County Executive Molinaro's supplement to the MCSSGP is an important opportunity for municipalities to apply for funding to address a critical need to achieve the dual goal of controlling taxes and providing quality services. Hyde Park has been aggressive in taking advantage of this grant program since County Executive Molinaro launched it in 2013 and we are particularly eager to take part in this special supplement opportunity."
More information about the MCSSGP and the special supplement, including the application, can be found on Dutchess County's website at:

Microsoft Hit with Patent Lawsuit Over Skype Features
Matt St-Georges / 7 years ago
Melville, New York-based CopyTele Inc. (CTI) said that subsidiary Secure Web Conference Corporation has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Microsoft in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of New York. CTI claims that Skype infringes on their patents for encryption technology utilized by Microsoft's video conferencing service.
With coverage on web conferencing technology across an industry that generates over $4 billion in annual revenue, these encryption patents are a prime example of the enormous, untapped potential at CTI. The new management team was attracted to CTI because of the tremendous value of its patents that were masked by its previous business model. Robert Berman, CTI's President and CEO
CTI's main business is developing their own patents or even acquiring 3rd parties' to monetize and assert on them. The CEO of the company does not shy away from this fact either saying that they will continue to "mine its patents" and launch "additional assertion programs with significant revenue opportunities."
Microsoft is CTI's second patent assertion campaign. In January the company launched its first attack against AU Optronics Corp. and E Ink Holdings regarding patented electrophoretic display technologies that was developed in-house. The company currently has 6 patent portfolios spanning key-based encryption to e-paper to window frame construction technology.
The complaint against Microsoft can be accessed here, and covers two U.S. patents that were granted in 2005: "Method and apparatus for securing e-mail attachments" and "Portable telecommunication security device". The first one covers an exchange of information using public-key and private-key encryption, and the user's email address. The second one covers a security device that's defined as a keyboard and microprocessor with multiple inputs and outputs.

MADRID (Reuters) - Emilio Cuenca makes a living taking portraits of pets but in his spare time snaps rescue animals, hoping that his pictures will encourage people to adopt mistreated and abandoned dogs and cats.
The photographer has volunteered for various animal welfare organizations in his native Spain and also gives free photography courses to animal shelter staff.
"Photography is very important when adopting dogs because the main way of showing them is through social media or websites," he said.
More than 138,000 dogs and cats were rescued in Spain last year, according to the Affinity Foundation for animal welfare, which cited unwanted litters, dogs abandoned at the end of the hunting season and financial reasons as some of the causes.
Only 18 percent of them were returned to their owners after being lost, Affinity said.
Affinity's figures for the number of rescued pets could be only half the true number, Spain's animal rights party PACMA says, as its research only includes data from non-governmental animal rescue organizations and not from municipal dog pounds.
Photographing a playful French bulldog in a Madrid park, Cuenca says his aim with the animal shelter project is "to give the dogs something in return for what they give me ... and above all help dogs that are in critical situations".
"The intention is to send out a message against mistreatment and abandonment of dogs, and that they be given the place they deserve in our country and in families," he said.

A program to combat bullying is a long-term investment in Southern Indiana's kidsThe groundwork for IU SON, Bloomington's Say It Straight program began nearly three years ago when IU SON, Bloomington received a generous gift from the estate of Dr. Anita Aldrich, with a request that the gift be used to meet the health needs of South Central Indiana. Prior to her retirement, Dr. Joyce Krothe (then Assistant Dean of IU SON, Bloomington) and Clinical Assistant Professors Dr. Kim Decker and Derrick Garletts conducted a large-scale community assessment to identify Southern Indiana's most pressing health needs – with substance abuse identified as the primary need to address.
Armed with this information, Dr. Decker and Centerstone Program Manager Matthew Clay – as part of the newly-funded Aldrich Project – began mapping out a strategy for implementing a communication assertiveness program in Morgan and Monroe Counties' elementary and middle schools.
The result – Say It Straight – is an evidence-based assertiveness training program that empowers students (ages 6 – 15) in their everyday conversations. Through role plays, imagery, body sculptures, and open dialogue, Say It Straight helps students build self-esteem and self-control, reducing their sensitivity to negative peer pressure that can lead to poor self-image, over aggressive behaviors, and the potential for substance abuse.

How come Company Coaching Games Operate?
How come Company Coaching Games Operate?
Learner engagement is actually a important think about ensuring the good results of a training course. gamification for training company In case the studying is just not interesting enough to grab learner focus, then it's going to not become successful. You could allow it to be compulsory for the staff to just take the system, and present 100% completion charges. But, you may not see any tangible rewards at the conclusion of the coaching when the learners have been not engaged. A program will be regarded as profitable, only if the learners gain from it, and the result shows in enhancements in understanding, capabilities, and aptitude.
So how come company coaching game titles operate?
The outcome discovered for the duration of a study by College of Denver Business College will reply that query. Employees studying with eLearning online games experienced the following final results over conventional education methods:
? 11% higher factual information
? 14% increased skill-based expertise
? 9% larger retention rate
Additionally, they had been more confident about their talents to apply the principles they realized of their place of work. Game-based studying took the learner experience to a completely new amount.
Game titles function because they may be entertaining and interactive. The level of interactivity boosts learner interest and retains them engaged. But, ahead of you undertake a game-based method of finding out, it is crucial that you make sure that the organizational targets and studying objectives need this sort of an approach. You shouldn't attempt to power the sport aspect into an existing traditional system. That may be a sure recipe for failing.
Here are top four factors why you ought to think about employing company training game titles for the workers, as opposed to traditional studying methods.
Purpose #1: Engaging
Video games are highly engaging. It taps in to the learner emotion together with the factor of delight, surprise, enjoyment, and reward. They supply the learner with a feeling of autonomy and competence. These intrinsic motivators ensure which the learner is invested within the understanding and gains new expertise and expertise from it.
Reason #2: Successful
As shown within the statistics over, staff who performed training online games retained more information, experienced a much better idea of the ideas, and felt a lot more self-assured about applying the talents at their workplace. Gamified understanding supplies immediate suggestions on learner actions, instead of waiting around till the module ends. It ensures the learner is actively associated with the learning procedure. The decisions the learner takes in the course of the match supplies useful insights into their potential. A coaching manager can utilize this information to learn exactly where staff are having difficulties and work on remedial actions.
Cause #3: Failsafe environment
Throwing an worker into a job role with no ample preparation results in blunders that expense funds and goodwill for that organization. Video games supply a excellent system for that employees to apply without any real-world implications. Your employees might make a lot of mistakes inside the digital setting, and understand from their errors just before progressing on.
Explanation #4: Mastery
Learners like it once they can increase a specific job-related skill. The sensation of mastering a talent or learning an idea which will assist an staff boost their place while in the workplace is empowering and motivating.

Giant Ichneumon Wasp
Large, thin-bodied wasp. Females are very dark black and yellow. They are parasitoids of wood-boring insects in dead, deciduous trees.When a female is ready to oviposit her eggs, she rotates segments 8 and 9 of her abdomen and unfolds her intersegmentary membranes so that they form a disc 2 cm in diameter. The surface of this disc produces a secretion that disintegrates the wooden substrate and facilitates her ability to insert her ovipositor. After she lays her eggs on the surface of the host larva she completes the same rotational movements to remove her ovipositor from the wood and the stylus returns to its resting position. This entire process takes an hour.
Mind blown! I've never seen or heard about this behavior. Posted 2 years ago
I wish I had taken video of it because it was amazing. I stood and watched the entire process. it was so cool! Posted 2 years ago
So you saw it by chance? Or did you anticipate and wait for it? Posted 2 years ago
I saw it by chance while hiking. Complete accident - I had stopped to rest against a fallen tree, which the wasp had just started boring into! So, I got to watch the entire process, which was a challenge because my kids were with me and they were 5 and 2 years old at the time...not ideal ages to have to stay in one spot for nearly an hour, lol. Posted 2 years ago
Great experience! Thanks for sharing! Posted 2 years ago
Here's a video that shows a similar wasp drilling into a tree: Posted 2 years ago
Excellent, this post keeps on delivering! what an artful parasite it is. How does she detect the larvae? How does she know how deep to drill? Posted 2 years ago
It's amazing...And, as the wasp matures (inside the tree), it chews its way out to begin its life as an adult. Adult male wasps, eager to mate with newly emerged females, can actually discern wood-chewing vibrations and use their antennae to detect the pheromones. So, males will gather on a tree where they can "hear" and "smell" a female chewing her way out and they will wait for her to emerge so they can mate. Posted 2 years ago
Amazing photo and behavior! Bravo Posted 2 years ago

''Megarhyssa atrata'' is a species of large ichneumon wasp. It is known from North America, where it is found from Quebec, Michigan, Ohio and North and South Carolina to Florida. Adults are on wing from May to July. The larvae are parasitoids of the larvae of the woodwasp ''Tremex columba'' in dead deciduous trees.

Why do I call it "CODE" of the Flexing Fist?
Well, simply because the
punches of Flex Fist Boxing move in
a straight and circular repeating
pattern like a code. Flex Fist
Boxing consists of five punches:
- Closing Fist
- Spinning Fist
- Hinge Fist
- Swivel Fist
- Hammer Fist
Below is an image of an atom. As you
can see the electrons are traveling in a
circular pattern around the nucleus.
You can think of the nucleus as the face
of your opponent. The only minor
difference would be center punches like
the Spinning Fist and Closing Fist
which would come straight down the
middle of the image. This is why in
the Flex Fist Boxing logo you see a fist at
the center of the image. As you can
see the electrons "stay in their lanes"
around the nucleus. In Flex Fist Boxing
as well as Conventional Boxing each
punch has a lane.
When you look at the Flex Fist Boxing
logo you see letters C, S, H, H, and S
this also lends itself to the idea of a
"CODE" once again the 5 punches are:
- Closing Fist
- Spinning Fist
- Hinge Fist
- Swivel Fist
- Hammer Fist
As stated before these punches move in
circular repeating patterns. Now, If
I am using electrons as a metaphor for
punches, then how electrons actually
move should be made clear. It has
been revealed that electrons actually
disappear and reappear on their way
around the nucleus. So, I teach my
students to imagine their fists as
electrons disappearing and reappearing to
and from the face and head of their
opponent. One of the ways such an
action can be achieved is by flexing
on the way out and flexing on the way
back in. Flexing creates the necessary
explosion needed for firing out and
back in. Thus mimicking the disappearing
and reappearing effect. Now this
may be hard to fully visualize however,
it is completely possible and my
students train hard at mastering
these concepts. I hope you enjoyed this
brief explanation of another side of my
Flex Fist Boxing concepts. Thanks
for reading please like,

A Flutter implementation of slidable list item with directional slide actions that can be dismissed.
- Accepts primary (left/top) and secondary (right/bottom) widget lists as slide actions.
- Can be dismissed.
- 4 built-in layouts.
- 2 built-in slide action widgets.
- 1 built-in dismiss animation.
- You can easily create you custom layouts and animations.
- You can use a builder to create your slide actions if you want special effects during animation.
- Close when a slide action has been tapped (overridable).
- Close when the nearest Scrollable starts to scroll (overridable).
- Option to disable the slide effect easily.
Getting started
In the pubspec.yaml of your flutter project, add the following dependency:
flutter_slidable: "^0.4.9"
In your library add the following import:
import 'package:flutter_slidable/flutter_slidable.dart';
For help getting started with Flutter, view the online documentation.
You can create a Slidable in two different ways:
- By calling the Slidable constructor and passing a list of slide actions.
- By calling the Slidable.builder constructor and passing slide action builders, if you want special effects during the animation.
A Slidable needs multiple things:
- Slide actions (see below for details). They can be any widget. For convenience, this package has 2 built-in side action widgets.
- A delegate. This is what controls the layout and the animation of the slide menu.
- An extent ratio between a slide action extent and the item extent.
- A child.
The actions contains the slide actions that appear when the child has been dragged down or to the right. The secondaryActions contains the slide actions that appear when the child has been dragged up or to the left.
A direction parameter lets you choose if you want actions to appear when you slide horizontally (default) or vertically.
new Slidable(
delegate: new SlidableDrawerDelegate(),
actionExtentRatio: 0.25,
child: new Container(
color: Colors.white,
child: new ListTile(
leading: new CircleAvatar(
backgroundColor: Colors.indigoAccent,
child: new Text('$3'),
foregroundColor: Colors.white,
title: new Text('Tile n°$3'),
subtitle: new Text('SlidableDrawerDelegate'),
actions: <Widget>[
new IconSlideAction(
caption: 'Archive',
color: Colors.blue,
icon: Icons.archive,
onTap: () => _showSnackBar('Archive'),
new IconSlideAction(
caption: 'Share',
color: Colors.indigo,
icon: Icons.share,
onTap: () => _showSnackBar('Share'),
secondaryActions: <Widget>[
new IconSlideAction(
caption: 'More',
color: Colors.black45,
icon: Icons.more_horiz,
onTap: () => _showSnackBar('More'),
new IconSlideAction(
caption: 'Delete',
color: Colors.red,
icon: Icons.delete,
onTap: () => _showSnackBar('Delete'),
Built-in slide actions
This package comes with 2 kinds of slide actions:
- SlideAction, which is the most flexible. You can choose a background color, or any decoration, and it takes any widget as a child.
- IconSlideAction, which requires an icon. It can have a background color and a caption below the icon.
Built-in delegates
This package comes with 4 kinds of delegates:
The slide actions stay behind the item while it's sliding:
The slide actions follow the item while it's sliding:
The slide actions animate like drawers while the item is sliding:
The slide actions stretch while the item is sliding:
How to prevent my slide action to close after it has been tapped?
By default, SlideAction and IconSlideAction close on tap. To prevent this, you can pass in false to the closeOnTapconstructor parameter.
How to prevent my Slidable to close after my list has scrolled?
By default, a Slidable closes when the nearest Scrollable widget starts to scroll. To prevent this, you can pass in false to the closeOnScroll constructor parameter.
How can I dismiss my Slidable?
In order to make your Slidable dismissible, you have to set the slideToDismissDelegate parameter of the Slidableconstructor. You can set any class that inherits SlideToDismissDelegate. For now there is only one built-in: SlideToDismissDrawerDelegate.
The actionType passed to the onDismissed callback let you know which action has been dismissed.
When a Slidable is dismissible, the key parameter must not be null.
slideToDismissDelegate: new SlideToDismissDrawerDelegate(
onDismissed: (actionType) {
actionType == SlideActionType.primary
? 'Dismiss Archive'
: 'Dimiss Delete');
setState(() {
How can I prevent to dismiss one side but not the other?
If you only want one side to be dismissible, you can set the associated threshold to 1.0 or more. For example, if you don't want the first primary action to be dismissed, you will set the following thresholds on the slideToDismissDelegate:
dismissThresholds: <SlideActionType, double>{ SlideActionType.primary: 1.0 },
How to let the user cancel a dismissal?
You can let the user confirm the dismissal by setting the onWillDismiss callback on the slideToDismissDelegate.
slideToDismissDelegate: new SlideToDismissDrawerDelegate(
onWillDismiss: (actionType) {
return showDialog<bool>(
context: context,
builder: (context) {
return new AlertDialog(
title: new Text('Delete'),
content: new Text('Item will be deleted'),
actions: <Widget>[
new FlatButton(
child: new Text('Cancel'),
onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context).pop(false),
new FlatButton(
child: new Text('Ok'),
onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context).pop(true),
How to let keep only one Slidable open?
You have to set the controller parameter of the Slidable constructors to a SlidableController instance:
final SlidableController slidableController = new SlidableController();
new Slidable(
key: new Key(item.title),
controller: slidableController,
How can I animate an external widget at the same time as the active Slidable?
You have to set the callbacks of a SlidableController instance: The onSlideAnimationChanged let you get the animation of the current Slidable. The onSlideIsOpenChanged let you know when the current Slidable opens and closes.
final SlidableController slidableController = new SlidableController( onSlideAnimationChanged: handleSlideAnimationChanged, onSlideIsOpenChanged: handleSlideIsOpenChanged, ); ... void handleSlideAnimationChanged(Animation<double> slideAnimation) { setState(() { _rotationAnimation = slideAnimation; }); } void handleSlideIsOpenChanged(bool isOpen) { setState(() { _fabColor = isOpen ? Colors.green : Colors.blue; }); } Credit (github url) : https://github.com/letsar/flutter_slidable Next Article : https://flutterappdev.com/2019/02/01/rangeslider-widget-for-flutter-mobile-app-development/

Both male and female wearers are fond of Breitling watches because they are sturdy, durable, precise and exquisite. However, most Breitling watches have rough lines and powerful designs. If you can not master such watches or you want to try some types different, the perfect replica watches of Premier must be good choices.
Here, I'm glad to recommend you the exquisite watches copy Breitling Premier AB0118A21B1X2 that are designed for male wearers and were launched in this year's SIHH.
I personally think that Premier is the most elegant series of Breitling. And this edition is both elegant and retro.
In 42 mm, the prominent watches fake Breitling made from polished stainless steel have retro brown leather straps and black dials with retro luminant Arabic numerals, luminant hands, small date windows and two white chronograph sub-dials.

In order to have the perfect foundation and correct blending of colors in make up, there are two things that we need to consider; skintone and undertone. Skintone is the one that can be readily seen by the naked eye and changes color on certain circumstances (i.e. sunburn, bleaching, tanning) while the undertone remains unchanged all throughout. Undertone is the "shadow" of the skin and can only be determined on certain methods which I will be sharing in a little while.
- Pink (Light)- If you are very fair, burn before you tan and your skin has pink undertone.
- Yellow (Light or Medium)- Beige or yellow undertone. Caucasian, Asian and Light Mixed Race would usually fall on this category.
- Olive (Medium)- Meditteranean, Latino, a- Fair skinned African American, or dark mixed- race
- Brown (Dark)- dark skin color. African- American, deep complexioned- Indian are under this category.
- Warm- yellow or red skintone. (i.e. ivory, peach, golden brown, beige, coppery, or deep golden brown). These people usually have hazel, brown or amber eye colors.
- Cool- Skintone that are rosy-pink, rosy-beige, dark olive, dark brown or ebony. These people usually have black, blue and green eye colors.
All you need is to look at the vein under you wrist ; if your veins are mostly green, you have WARM undertone; if your veins are mostly blue, you have COOL undertone.
Another trick is to hold a piece of white paper under your hand. Look carefully at your skin. If you see a yellowish cast, you have warm undertones, and if you see a bluish you have cool tones.
These are the best colors to wear may it be on your eye shadow or your clothing.
- Warm Undertone- "earth tones" like yellows, oranges, browns, yellowish greens and orange based reds
- Cool Undertone- "jewel tones" like blues, greens, pinks and purples
Blush and lip colors:
- Warm Undertone- tangy peach, bronzers, light apricots, tomato reds, earthen or terracota reds and coppers
- Cool Undertone- raspberry reds, plums, rosy pinks, pastel pinks and honeys
So, this is it for our Skin tone and Undertone 101. I hope I have helped you in anyway erasing the confusion that you might have about these topics. Should there be any clarifications, just comment below.
Catch ya later!

How a policeman's drunkenness led to biggest tip-off in who killed the judges
DSP Edmund Oheneasah (retd.) was working in the information room at the Police headquarters in Accra that night in and around August 1982.
It was at a time in the country when every long conversation in Ghana would not have been complete without a discussion on who killed the judges.
And it most probably would end with another charge on the police to 'get to the bottom of the matter'.
But Ghana police runs heavily on tip-offs even to this day. So while Ghanaians looked to the police, the officers looked to Ghanaians.
One such Ghanaians was the Minister for Highways at the time who drove to the police headquarters where DSP Edmund Oheneasah was in charge of the detectives.
"He brought this drunken policeman", the only surviving member of a special investigative team into the killing told Joy News Special Assignment.
The minister whose name was unknown explained he picked up the officer drunk while inspecting road repairs.
He remembered that the IGP at the time was among the top officials who had a chat with the minister.
The DSP not at the level of these top officials, nonetheless joined the conversation. And as all conversations went in the period of the revolution, they touched on the matter of the judges who were abducted from their homes at Ridge in Accra and killed on June 30, 1982.
DSP sighed and then explained, the minister intimated he had gone to Tema Port and found some four Fiat Campagnola vehicles. According to the DSP, the minister relished the prospects of having one for his official duties.
The minister further revealed that "somewhere along the line", he was told some soldiers had come to take two. "When I heard all that information, I was having the next step of action in mind", the DSP's professional training kicked in.
Edmund Oheneasah said he went straight to the IGP for permission to move to the Tema Port. Over there, basic administrative process required that any vehicle leaving had to be logged.
"You have got to sign and print your name," he said.
He said it took three months for the Port officials to pull out the details of who came for the vehicles, a long bureaucratic search through papers.
Right there in the log book dated June 17, 1982, was the name of a soldier, Amedeka.
"It isn't by magic, you see, so when we got the name of Amedeka because he signed for the vehicles we decided to pursue that line."
Through his girlfriend, they learnt Amedeka was working as a "liaison officer" at the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation. "They could go to Rawlings' house, you see they had all the freedom to do what they liked so we decided to question him".
Amedeka was a loyalist of the military junta, PNDC, headed by Flt Lt Jerry Rawlings.
"The first time we met him at the regional Special branch headquarters…those places we have got the gadgets to record everything.
"I said okay if you will not talk, mind you the others have talked to us," he tricked Amedeka who told the police investigators to come the next day.
"…the following day he started talking like a parrot", the former police investigator said. It was Lance Corporal Amedeka who revealed the identities of the other accomplices – Tony Tekpor, Dzandu and Hekli.
He told them how an authority note given to them by PNDC member, Joachim Amartey Kwei, provided them free movement during the curfew to pick up the three judges and the retired army officer.
"These were young lads. They were adventurous but I wouldn't say they were murderers. They knew that what they were doing is authorised by the state…so they couldn't understand why we were coming after them."
The police officers worked for the Special Investigations Board headed by Justice Azu Crabbe that looked into the murders and recommended prosecution of nine people.
In fact, the Board said Capt. Kojo Tsikata was the master- mind behind the murders.
But the Attorney-General under the PNDC, George E. K. Aikins refused to prosecute five of the nine suspects [marked in red] explaining. They were L/Cpl Gordon Kwowu, L/Cpl Mama Nsurowua, L/Cpl Victor Gomeleshio, Sgt. Daniel Alolga Akata Pore and Capt. Kojo Tsikata.
He claimed, there was not enough evidence to support the charge of murder or conspiracy to murder.
Less than a year after DSP Edmund Oheneasah heard that timely conversation with the Highways minister, four PNDC men L/Cpl Amedeka, Tony Tekpor, Dzandu and Hekli, as well as ex-PNDC Members Amartey Kwei were put in Nsawam Medium Prisons and the Ussher Fort Prisons.
But in a jailbreak, L/Cpl Amedeka escaped. His three accomplices were not that lucky. They were executed by firing squad. But not before some major confessions that still raise questions about who killed the judges.
DSP Edmund Oheneasah is retired and lives abroad with his family.

Harvard Law School Makes Online Zero-L Course Free for All U.S. Law Schools Due to Coronavirus
For Kennedy School Fellows, Epstein-Linked Donors Present a Moral Dilemma
Tenants Grapple with High Rents and Local Turnover at Asana-Owned Properties
In April, Theft Surged as Cambridge Residents Stayed at Home
The History of Harvard's Commencement, Explained
As a result of the Students for Fair Admissions lawsuit, internal studies about the College's admissions policies circulated among top administrators in 2013 have come to light. The studies, which found Asian-American applicants saw "negative effects" in the College's admissions process, were not previously made public, and SFFA alleges that administrators did not act upon the findings. The College's choice to not take further action on such troubling statistics is unacceptable.
Harvard has tried to contest the accuracy of the studies by claiming the data set used was "incomplete" since it did not include personal essays, teacher recommendations, or factors such as legacy status and athletic recruitment. However, this incompleteness does not disprove the existence of discrimination against Asian-American applicants. Indeed, the College's apparent failure to further look into the matter — despite having had five years since 2013 to do so — constitutes a systematic failure on its part.
As a leading academic institution that has inscribed the pursuit of truth into its motto, Harvard should have had the courage to investigate whether it truly disadvantages Asian Americans in its application process. Instead, it appears to have disregarded its own reports — severely damaging the trust of its Asian-American students, the University's reputation, and affirmative action itself.
Despite Harvard's error, it should not be used as a cudgel against affirmative action. As we have stated in the past, affirmative action is an important project that helps to correct the systematic inequalities and disadvantages that may come with the color of one's skin. The experience of being part of a diverse college class is also crucial to success in an increasingly globalized, diverse, and close-knit world. Therefore, even if Harvard is found to have discriminated against Asian-American applicants, we reiterate our support for affirmative action and its implementation in the admissions process.
Furthermore, many like to believe that college admissions is a completely meritocratic process that is entirely based on one's qualifications. This is simply not true. Factors that have nothing to do with one's qualifications to attend any particular college, including the wealth of one's family and where you live, all matter. Sometimes, as in the case of affirmative action, these non-meritocratic factors are justified. Other times, as in the case of legacy preference, they are not. The admissions lawsuit has offered Harvard a chance to critically analyze its own admissions process, and reevaluate the systems by which students are admitted. Harvard should seize this opportunity, and analyze its admissions process as a whole while arguing this case.
In failing to further investigate whether it discriminates against Asian Americans in its application process, Harvard ditched educational values and its own motto — "veritas." We strongly condemn the College for its failure to pursue the truth.

Where you live could have a huge effect on your petrol bill, according to research from Santander Credit Cards.
The average price in pence per litre (ppl) across the country varies from county to county by as much as 16p. That could make a difference of around £253 for the average driver clocking up 12,000 miles per year.
The most expensive place to fill up is the Shetland Islands with a average price of 145.9ppl. That is 11% higher than if you refuelled in the Grampian region, which has the least expensive petrol in the UK at 129.7ppl. The price of fuel has soared in rural Scotland and the Western Isles in recent years.
Avoid skyrocketing petrol prices
Where's cheapest?
Many people may be surprised to find that London is not the most expensive place to refuel in the UK, in fact, thanks to healthy competition at the pump, London isn't even the most expensive place to refuel in England.
That honour goes to Humberside where it will cost you an average of 137.9ppl to fill your tank. For the cheapest petrol in England, you'll have to drive to the North West of England where prices average 131.9ppl.
"These seemingly small variations in fuel prices across the UK can actually have a significant impact on overall spending, particularly for drivers who really clock up the miles," says Alan Mathewson, chief executive at Santander Credit Cards.
If you want to keep your fuel bills as low as possible make the most of websites such as petrolprices.com to find the cheapest fuel on sale near you. These websites can also be used to help you plan any long trips. Tap in the name of your destination and you can find the cheapest petrol near there too.
And perhaps, try to persuade your family that a driving holiday to the Grampians would be fun.

Hellion does not contain ephedra, but don't let that scare you away. Hellion packs a punch with 400 mg of caffeine. If you worry about the length of time you can spend in the gym or struggle with energy loss, Hellion can help.
Focus Longer and Finish Stronger with Hellion.
Hellion is packed full of ingredients that aid in many ways. Being able to maintain focus all day increases productivity and accomplishments. Staying on task can be difficult, but one (1) scoop of Hellion can keep you on track to reach all of your goals.
Preworkouts with Ephedra
Hellion is the successor to the original Methyldrene EPH which contained 25mg of Ephedra. If you are still looking for the ephedra based pre-workouts here is a list of pre-workout powders we have with ephedra. Very few ephedra based pre-workout powders are still on the market, but you can also supplement Hellion with one of our many ephedra-based products. All of those contain enough ephedra and caffeine for you to get the same results as a pre-workout powder.

The Uncorked Conversation
Using EFT to Ease Pain + Dissolve Limiting Beliefs
When I first discovered EFT, I thought it was weird. The blogger who introduced it to me – who I followed religiously – suddenly seemed crazy. But I was intrigued, so I gave it a try with an open mind. Today, I use EFT every day both in my life and as a coach.
This is the second episode of a 2-part series where we explore the discomfort associated with growth and how to ease through it. In ep #24 we chatted about how to identify whether the discomfort is coming from the head or the heart. In ep #25, we explore how to use EFT to flow through the discomfort.

Ep #25: Using EFT to Ease Pain + Dissolve Limiting Beliefs
Episode number 25.
Good Day to you, Shanti Pax Nation. This episode, number 25, is part two of a two part series on the discomfort associated with natural growth. What I mean by that is evolving into a bigger, truer, more powerful version of yourself, going after those biggest goals, chasing those biggest dreams. Last week, in episode number 24, we explored the different types of discomfort associated with that growth. This week we'll explore a technique that will provide you with relief from that discomfort. You don't have to just go it alone and be in the discomfort. There are tools out there and people out there that want to help and want to provide support and ease.
So, what is this tool? Well, I like to tell the story that I first was introduced to this technique in around 2013 from Kris Carr. Many of you know who she is, but if you don't, she writes about how a plant-based diet basically didn't cure her of cancer, but it saved her life from cancer after the doctors told her that she had weeks to live.
This was like 10 years ago. She went to a totally plant–based diet and has been 100% healthy ever since.
I was a pretty big fan. I read her blogs. I watched her videos. I remember very clearly, one day she released a video about her fear of public speaking, which I was very surprised, at the time, because she was such a big personality, that she would have such a fear, and I know she was speaking in front of really big audiences. So, I was like, "Huh. That's pretty cool that, you know …" I appreciated that she was sharing this fear, which I found very relatable. And she said, "I use this technique called emotional freedom techniques or EFT, or some people call it tapping, to help me with my very bad fear of public speaking, and it basically cures me so I'm able to go onstage in front of thousands and really bring the house down." And I thought, "What is this amazing tool that could do that?"
She started tapping on her face with her index finger and her middle finger, and she started, whilst tapping, she was talking about her fears and the anxiety it produces, getting up in front of people, and I thought she had gone mad. I thought it was the weirdest thing I'd ever seen, and I even unsubscribed from her blog, which I had been reading religiously. But then something inside of me said, "You know what, Allison? Yes, it is weird, but maybe I should give it a try. Maybe I should give it a chance."
So, I went back to that video, I resubscribed to her blog, and I gave it a try. In not much time, I was a firm believer in the EFTs ability to reduce my pain, reduce my stress, dissolve limiting beliefs, bring me back to a place of peace, no matter what the issue. If it's emotional pain, physical pain, a huge trauma, a minor annoyance, it can bring me back to a calm state Since then, that was about six years ago, I've been on a journey with EFT. I'm now a certified accredited EFT practitioner. I'm working for my advanced certification right now, and EFT will remain in my toolkit, I know, for the rest of my life.
In today's episode, I'm going to talk about how to identify the limiting beliefs that are blocking your growth, and I'll explain how emotional freedom techniques or EFT can help dissolve those thoughts and the pain they trigger.
So, how do we identify the limiting beliefs? The thoughts like, "I'm not good enough. I don't have the right expertise. I am too much. The market is too saturated. My partner doesn't support me." Those type of thoughts. How do we first identify the limiting beliefs that are really blocking our path to achieving our biggest goals?
There is a very simple technique to get to the limiting beliefs that are serving as the largest roadblocks, and that is to simply say aloud or write down a big goal, one that truly means a lot to you, and then wait for a but. A but …
For example, I used to have as a goal, I want to be fully booked with a waiting list. So, fully booked with one on one clients, with a robust waiting list of people ready to start working with me once I had availability. I remember saying that. "I want to be fully booked with a waiting list," and I just waited for the buts. But the market is too saturated. But sales is too hard. But it's too hard to find clients. And I kept identifying the thoughts that felt the truest and triggered the most pain, the most fear, the most dissatisfaction, the feelings of defeat, the feelings of overwhelm, the feelings of depression. All of those things. And I did EFT on each and every thought, and I kept doing EFT until the thought no longer felt true, or it no longer triggered any sort of pain or suffering.
So, let's now talk about exactly how it works. You said your goal, and you identified your biggest but, your biggest, "I want to do this, but that." Let's return to my example. I want to be fully booked with a robust waiting list, but I'm not good enough. I like to use that one because I think every human who's ever walked the Earth has had the thought at least once. Even the Dalai Lama has probably had the thought.
What you want to do is identify three things, and there's a million different ways you can do EFT. I'm just going to offer you one technique today, and it's a technique that I use a lot, both in my life, and with my clients. So, I'm not good enough. Ask yourself three questions. One, what's the thought? We have the thought.
Two, what emotions does the thought trigger? And here, I want you to be careful not to identify more thoughts, I want you to identify emotions. What I mean by that is it triggers defeat, overwhelm, sadness, depression.
Then the third question is, where am I feeling it physically in the body? When I think the thought and the negative emotions, it triggers. In the neck, tightness, shallow breathing, constriction, anxiety in the stomach, et cetera.
Then let's go into how EFT works. What EFT is often described as is emotional acupuncture without the needles. So, you are physically tapping on acupressure points in your body, the same points that is used in say acupuncture and other energy medicine, and you are thinking about a painful thought or a painful incident or physical pain while you tap. Many of the energy medicines are founded on the principle that all pain and suffering ultimately are a result of blocked energy in the body, and if you can release that block, you will release that pain, that emotional pain, that physical pain, whatever it is, and you will get the body functioning in a more healthy, easeful way when it gets back to its natural energy flows. And that's exactly what eft attempts to do.
How you start is you tap in rounds, and you start each round with a setup statement. There are many different setup statements that you can go with. With EFT, you always want to go with with what feels true to you in this moment. So, a classic setup statement is, "Even though I have this pain X," so in our example, "Even though I have this belief, I am not good enough, I fully and completely love and accept myself." Now, if that thought doesn't feel true to you in this moment, you can dial it back to, "I'm willing to love and accept myself. I accept where I am today. I am okay." And you say that, or a variation of that, three times in a row whilst tapping on the karate chop part of your hand. The karate chop part of your hand is right along your pinky, as if you are going to karate chop a block of woods, and that is what you want to be tapping on.
Don't worry if you're not catching all the points exactly. I offer a free EFT training that includes all of this information, a diagram, all the points, everything you need to know, and you can get it for free at shantipax.com/learneft. That link is also in the show notes. If you are all interested in this, I encourage you to get that free training.
Okay. So, you say your setup statement three times, and then you start your round of tapping. As you tap, you want to think of the pain, think of the limiting belief. You want to trigger the pain or discomfort or whatever it is you're feeling while you're tapping. Another thing I should mention, with EFT, you always want to tune into the pain. If you are feeling very calm and very relaxed, EFT is not going to have the same effect.
Now, you can do something called, "positive tapping," that you can tap on positive thoughts that kind of help you to reinforce it, but EFT, to really ease through the pain or suffering that you're going through, you want to first ease into that pain. One of the things I should have mentioned was before you even start tapping, you want to see exactly how intense the pain is. So, you tune into to the circumstances, the pain, the physical pain, whatever it is, the thoughts, and you rate, using your best guess, on a scale of zero to 10, zero being neutral, 10 being the worst you could possibly feel, where you are in this present moment.
Let's say before our thought, "I'm not good enough," we are an eight. That's pretty high. So, you want to do your setup statement, "Even though I have this limiting belief, I'm not good enough, I fully and completely love and accept myself." Say that three times, and then you're going to start tapping. The first tapping point is on the inner part of the eyebrow, and you can tap with your right hand, your left hand or both. You want to tap about five to seven times per point, but it really doesn't matter, and you don't have to get the points exactly, as long as you get close to the points and you stimulate them. You want to tap with both your index finger and middle finger.
So, the first tapping point is on the inner part of the eyebrow. The second tapping point is on the outer side of the eye. The next one is under the eye. The next one is right under the nose, and the next is right under the mouth. And then there's a tapping point on the chest, and you can go right in the center of the chest or slightly to the right or slightly to the left. You'll see it done many different ways. Or you can use your palm to tap on your, kind of the entirety of your chest. The next point is under your armpit where a woman's bra strap would go. And the last point is on top of the head.
So, if that sounds like a lot, I promise you, if you do a few rounds, it starts to become second nature very quickly. Again, you do your setup statement, and you start your rounds of tapping. While tapping, you are saying, ideally out loud, but it also can be to yourself, the pain and suffering that you've already identified.
So, "I'm not good enough. That's triggering fear, sadness, disappointment, depression. I feel constricted in the chest. I feel shallow breathing. I feel tightness in my shoulders." And you're saying these trigger statements whilst tapping, and you do several rounds and use your intuition as to when to stop. I always take a deep breath, let it all go, and then I check in. Where am I, zero to 10?
If I'm anywhere above a three, I keep tapping until I feel about a three or below. I mean, I'm kind of to the point now where I always can get to a zero, one, two. But sometimes with clients, I can only get them down to a five, and that's okay. Sometimes it's just time to stop. But I really wouldn't stop tapping if you're anywhere a six and above.
So, my challenge to you is give EFT a try. If it seems weird, then hallelujah, all the more reason to try it. If you already know EFT, I challenge you to make it a more routine part of your week. If you do a lot of EFT, I challenge you to take it to the next level. Learn a new technique, hire an EFT practitioner.
To recap, think of a goal that means a lot to you.
Say it out loud, "I want to make a million dollars, but I'm not good enough." There's that thought again. Then do EFT on that thought so you identify the thought. "I'm not good enough." Identify the pain and emotions that thought triggers. Another technique is to think of a time where you had that thought that you weren't good enough, maybe a time from childhood, and tap on the circumstances of that experience, and then think of where you feel it physically in the body.
You have your setup statement, "Even though I have this pain, I fully and completely love and accept myself," and do your rounds of tapping. You keep tapping until you get to about a three or below, if you can, and then you can stop.
EFT works cumulatively, so the more you do it, the more powerful it gets. I challenge you to give it a try, and I challenge you to share this episode with a few friends and give it a rating and review on iTunes or wherever it is you listen, so more people can find us. I'm so grateful for that. As always, until next time, stay uncorked.

It gives you everything to know to make EFT a part of your everyday life. Again, that's shantipax.com/learneft, S-H-A-N-T-I-P-A-X.COM/learneft.

Long live Harold Ramis.
Although he has never fully received his full due in the popular imagination on the par with one of his most devoted collaborators, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis is nonetheless a vital figure of American film comedy. A major creative voice behind popular comedies from the late 1970s throughout the 1990s. Ramis deserves an enduring place in the canon of American humor. Consider his productive six-year run as writer, in particular: Animal House (1978); Meatballs (1979); Caddyshack (1980); Stripes (1981); National Lampoon's Vacation (1983); and Ghostbusters (1984). He would later put together him most ambitious comedic film narrative with Groundhog Day (1993), a beautiful romantic comedy. For the long 1980s (I just coined that phrase–the long 1980s, which runs from 1977 -1992, from "God Save the Queen" by the Sex Pistols to the election of Bill Clinton, but I digress), no other director/writer/actor was so integral to establishing the comedy best of the era while also effectively drawing on mainstream American comedic traditions.
His timing, his content, his comic framing were all on point. May his memory and that Egon hair stick with us.
For my take, the four films that should remain firmly within our popular and critical imaginations are Animal House, Caddyshack, Stripes, and National Lampoon's Vacation. They exploit the most persistent and beloved of American comedic tropes–the tension between mainstream forces of respectability and the marginal forces of subversion, or, to be more concise: the snobs versus the slobs.
From the barbarians at the gates who emerged Animal House to the subversive caddy-underworld of an elite country club, to the ne'er-do-well losers who join the army out of desperation, to the bumbling, ever-failing American suburban father–the beloved marginal characters in these Ramis films exploit our communal desires to root for the underdogs, the Cinderella stories out of nowhere. Out of everywhere.
That formula is the key to the continual and simple power of American humor, and its genius. Ramis's work demonstrates again and again that he understood that core incongruity of American culture–and how funny it is. Ramis was a collaborator, co-writing with Doug Kenney and Chris Miller on Animal House; Kenney and Brian Doyle-Murray in Caddyshack; Dan Goldberg and Len Blum in Stripes; and Dan Ackroyd in Ghostbusters. I give Ramis the lion's share of credit as writer for all of these films. That may not be fair to the others, but it strikes me a accurate in the sense that there is such a strong overarching humanity to these broad comedies. He is the figure in the carpet. He worked with director Ivan Reitman for the other major films, so I guess it is only fair to give a nod to Reitman for their success. When Reitman dies, I will do that.
For now, however, Ramis is the man for all of these films.
Let's call it the Ramisian Effect (I just coined that phrase, too. You can use it.). The humor in these films often carries a strong obeisance to adolescent male silliness; that is undeniable, but they are also undergirded by a romantic sensibility of decency as well that celebrates a sweetness in characters that is never–for want of a better word–mean. The unrelenting boyishness of the "Ghostbusters" is the charm, for example, even while they are being subversive and raucous. Though there is certainly raunchiness informing similar American comedies in the Apatow and Rogan era that makes me nostalgic for Ramis's work, they are certainly in debt to the vision of Harold Ramis and better for it.
The Ramisian Effect–there, that phrase is starting to catch on–culminated in Groundhog Day, but it is evident in all of these films. And I like it.
These films are crowd pleasers and all offer moments that rank among the best of moments in American film comedy. For many of us, these films shaped our expectations of how humor worked in film. We were lucky. In appreciation to the contributions Ramis made, I offer these scenes for everyone's enjoyment. This is American humor:
From Animal House. the kangaroo court proceedings against Delta House:
From Caddyshack, Carl the Groundskeeper's Master's Champion fantasy:
From Caddyshack, Cinderella Story Out of Nowhere
From Stripes, the motivational speech:
From Stripes "We're Americans with a Capital A"
We all cried when Old Yeller got shot. And When Harold Ramis passed away. Goodbye, Harold Ramis. You knew us well.

The Broadband Forum and NG-PON2 Forum have combined forces to form the NG-PON2 Council at what some see as a critical juncture in the development and deployment of next-generation NG-PON2 broadband technology. Interest in NG-PON2 has been rising among operators worldwide as leading organizations carry out lab and field trials with an eye towards accelerating commercial deployments, Broadband Forum notes.
NG-PON2 Council
Working separately but in parallel, both industry associations have been devoting a growing amount of resources towards those same goals. Hence, the folding of the NG-PON2 Forum into the new NG-PON2 Council comes at an ideal time, Broadband Forum said in a press release.
Commenting on the news, NG-PON2 Forum member and director of technology at Verizon Dr. Vincent O'Byrne said: "I see the move of the NG-PON2 Forum into the Broadband Forum as recognition that not only is NG-PON2 technology a maturing technology, but of the industry's interest in seeing NG-PON2 succeed. Establishing the NG-PON2 Council is an important milestone and a meaningful step for NG-PON2 and the industry."
Added Broadband Forum CEO Robin Mersh: "NG-PON2 is at a crucial stage with significant moves beginning to be made by operators in terms of deployments. Ultrafast access is a key component in the future of broadband and NG-PON2 has a role to play in delivering it. The Broadband Forum sees education and positioning for the technology as a key step in its evolution."
For its part, the NG-PON2 Forum has been working to spur development of a converged optical access network architecture and develop the associated FTTx market. That includes advocating new additions, such as 5G backhaul and fronthaul where appropriate, as well as fostering NG-PON2 enhancements, such as Channel Bonding.
"The focus of the NG-PON2 Forum was always to accelerate the adoption of the technology, a mission that can only be helped by the Broadband Forum's breadth of membership and stellar reputation in the industry," stated NG-PON2 Forum president and founder Bernd Hesse. Senior director of technology at Calix, Hesse has been appointed chair of the NG-PON2 Council.
"As the NG-PON2 Forum now becomes the NG-PON2 Council under the Broadband Forum umbrella, I'm proud to still be leading this Council and look forward to informing the world of the boundless possibilities of this exciting technology."
Additional information and insight into NG-PON2 and creation of the NG-PON2 Council is available in a Broadband Forum video interview with Bernd Hesse and Robin Mersh that has been posted on YouTube.

2016 International UFO Congress Lecture
Lecture: Understanding the Abduction Phenomenon
The abduction phenomenon is a program with a distinct, unified, goal. The program is carried out by specific aliens who have created a workforce to help them achieve that goal. Everyone in the abduction workforce, including unwilling abductees, have functions to perform for the ultimate success of the program. Using new information, this talk will redefine abductions, coalesce disparate elements of it, and logically progress to a deeper understanding of how and why aliens are now living among us.
Bio: David M. Jacobs, Ph.D. is a retired professor of history at Temple University in Philadelphia. He became interested in UFO research in 1965. In 1973, he completed his doctoral dissertation on the controversy over unidentified flying objects in America. At Temple from 1977 to 2011 he taught the country's only regular curriculum university course on UFOs and abductions: "UFOs and American Society." Since the early 1980s, he has specialized in the UFO abduction phenomenon and investigated over 1,150 abductions with 150 individuals. He has published five books on UFOs and abductions, including his latest, Walking Among Us. Since 1972,he has written and delivered hundreds of articles, papers, and addresses, including radio, television, and internet interviews on the subject nationally and internationally.

I am 46 years old. For 30 years, I have done one of 3 things: worked 2 jobs, gone to night school, or risked whatever money I had to start a business. During that time I have met lots of folks. They all wanted to get ahead, just like I did. Some of them did something about it and some did not.
Once, for 3 years, I worked 40 hours a week at one job, 2 nights a week at another, and went to school on Friday nights and all day Saturday. I worked with a whole lot of guys who said I was crazy for doing so. A lot of them would go out and get drunk while I was at school. As far as I know, they all still work at the same place.
I missed a lot of my kids early years because I worked at a second job. You know, nights and weekends. You name a type of business and I have worked in it.
More than once my wife and I have put all of our eggs into one basket. I mean everything. We have lost it all on more than one occassion. To recover meant working 2 jobs again.
I could have just went out and landed some govt type job. 8-5 during the week, with weekends off. Go out and borrow money to buy a cheap used car. Live in a small tract home with cheap furnishings. Be home every night and play every weekend. Watch lots of TV and party Saturday night. Look forward to a small retirement check. Get jealous everytime I see a guy driving a Porsche. Wonder how anyone could afford such a big house. Get mad everytime a bill comes in the mail. Hate anyone who is "rich".
The answer to being a success is written above. Hard work. Harder work. If anyone is out working you, work harder. Take chances beyond a savings account and a safe job. Spend every extra moment learning, achieving, or working.
Work beyond the ordinary will eventually bring success beyond the ordinary.
Why should all of us who have worked, scrimped, and busted our ass for a long time, have to pay for those who have not? I do not know the answer, but I do not want to find out either.
No Obama.
