Some of you may have seen this already so it's a bit old but I just ran across it and found it interesting. It may have been at the end of 2014, but whenever it was, for its 85th anniversary, Bloomberg Businessweek published its top 85 disruptive ideas.
Note that this is just the top ideas over the life of the magazine (i.e. last 85 years) so it isn't a list of the best ideas of all time. Furthermore, the magazine, and hence the list, is US-centric so many ideas that had a bigger impact on the world are missing. Businessweek was also famous for being a business magazine that was more focused on cultural issues, science and technology, and various other topics usually not covered in serious business magazines. There is also lots of recency bias--I wouldn't list Google, Amazon.com, and Al Qaeda so high up on the list. It's also debatable how some items that may have profound impact in the future but haven't produced any major impact presently should be rated (a good example is DNA sequencing, which is ranked at #25, but might have a bigger impact than most of the top 25).
What I like about this list is how it includes all sorts of diverse topics, ranging from business to politics to social science. It has some unusual cultural items that most others wouldn't rank in any of the their lists. It is more thought-provoking than the usual top list. This means that lots of people will disagree with the rankings. For instance, the basketball shoe, Air Jordan by Nike is listed at #45, whereas, say, the development of Black-Scholes formula for pricing derivatives is at #60. I, as well as many others, will rank the formula higher (since the massive derivatives industry would not have grown so big and companies wouldn't have become as reliant if it weren't for the quantification and pricing of such securities).
An eclectic list for sure. If you have time to kill, scroll through the list. I have listed the top 25 with my brief comments in square brackets.
Bloomberg Businessweek Top 85 Most Disruptive Ideas over the Last 85 Years
1. The Jet Engine 1958 Pan Am inaugurates daily Boeing 707 service across the Atlantic. [Definitely a major invention that brought the world closer together. I would put this lower since it is just the jet engine and doesn't refer to the invention of flight which happened earlier.]
2. Microchips 1947 Researchers at Bell Labs invent the transistor, the critical first step toward development of the microchip [I would probably put this as #2. My #1 would be the Internet but it isn't listed as such.]
3. Green Revolution 1965 Disease-resistant wheat seeds developed by Norman Borlaug are introduced in India and Pakistan. [Huge impact that is often ignored and not understood by many]
4. Wal-Mart 1962 Sam Walton opens the first Walmart store. Read the story 5. [Probably belongs near the top. Walmart revolutionized American retailing and pioneered the newly invented "big box" store concept.]
5 TV 1934 Philo Farnsworth stages the first public demonstration of an all-electronic television system at Philadelphia's Franklin Institute. [No comment. A major impact on society.]
6. Google 1998 Larry Page and Sergey Brin develop a search engine that ranks Web pages based on how many other pages link to them. [Overrated; maybe would belong high on the list in another 20 years if Google can maintain its dominance.]
7. Junk Bonds 1989 Kohlberg Kravis Roberts uses junk bonds to finance its $26 billion hostile takeover of RJR Nabisco. [Major impact on Wall Street finance, particularly capital structure of corporations. However, should be ranked lower than some of the ones listed further below like credit cards and securization (Ginne Mae 1970).]
8. The Manhattan Project 1941 Franklin Roosevelt approves the creation of a secret program aimed at developing an atomic bomb. [Hard to rank this given how it didn't impact the world in a continuous manner, but it played a big political role in the mid to late 20th century.]
9. The Pill 1960 Enovid is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as the first oral contraceptive. [Big impact on social behaviour.]
10. Apple 1976 The Apple I computer goes on sale for a retail price of $666.66. [Should be ranked lower.]
11. Al-Qaeda 1988 Al-Qaeda is formed in Peshawar, Pakistan. [Overrated and should be further down the list.]
12 Global Warming -- 1988 James Hansen, then director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, introduces the idea of "global warming" to the public at a Senate hearing in Washington. [Verdict is still out and it will only be obvious in a few decades.]
13 Venture Capital 1946 Georges Frederic Doriot establishes the first institutional private equity investment firm, American Research and Development, to invest in businesses run by World War II veterans. [Should be further down the list. It was an important development but limited in scope.]
14 The Cubicle 1968 Design firm Herman Miller introduces the Action Office II workspace. [Probably should be higher up if you look at cultural impact on corporate life]
15 GPS 1983 President Reagan signs an executive order allowing civilian use of the Pentagon's Global Positioning System. [Important development]
16 Shipping Container 1956 The first container ship, the SS Ideal-X, carries 58 containers from Port Newark, N.J., to the Port of Houston. [Should be in the top 10 or maybe even top 5. The modern global trade system and intermodal transportation would be far less effective without this invention.]
17 Fixed-Rate Mortgage 1933 The Home Owners' Loan Corp. introduces a 15-year, self-amortizing home loan. [Probably had a bigger impact on the economy than many other finance or economics items listed here]
18 McDonald's 1954 After visiting the McDonald brothers at their restaurant in San Bernardino, Ray Kroc signs on to be McDonald's first franchising agent, launching the world's biggest fast-food empire. [Revolutionary development that altered the notion of a restaurant and dining out, especially if you look at in combination with later developments such as the drive-thru.]
19 Credit 1950 Frank McNamara, the founder of Diners Club Card, charges dinner at Major's Cabin Grill in New York—the first transaction made with a credit card. [Hard to imagine that credit cards started out as restaurant cards]
20 Amazon.com 1994 Jeff Bezos founds an online bookstore in his suburban Seattle garage. [Amazon could turn into a major development but right now, it doesn't deserve to be this high up the list.]
21 Refrigeration 1930 DuPont manufactures Freon, sparking the adoption of residential and commercial refrigeration. [Had a big impact, not just on residential food storage and preparation, but also in transportation of goods, especially meats, across countries]
22 One-Child Policy 1979 After a decade of promoting family planning, the Communist Party of China, under the new leadership of Deng Xiaoping, introduces compulsory limits on childbearing. [Disastrous, although some might argue short-term beneficial, policy that might end up being one of the worst government mistakes in human history.]
23 HTML 1993 The first version of Hypertext Markup Language is released, effectively creating the Web. [HTML in and of itself is hard to rate and probably doesn't rank this high. But if you look at Internet in general, I think it should be #1 on this list.]
24 Perestroika 1986 Mikhail Gorbachev eases government controls on industry and allows workers' cooperatives to set up private businesses. [Hugh impact on the world. Probably should be in top 5 or top 3. Led to the collapse of USSR, reunification of East and West Germany, independence for Eastern and Central Europe, opening up of China, etc]
25. DNA Sequencing 2000 The human genome is decoded for the first time. [Has had little impact so far but might impact the world more than anything else on this list. Who knows what the potential is but any progress on "science-fiction" concepts like cloning, genetic disease elimination, genetic reengineering, age longevity, and so forth, will have dramatic impact on humanity.]

Some of you may have seen this already so it's a bit old but I just ran across it and found it interesting. It may have been at the end of 2014, but whenever it was, for its 85th anniversary, Bloomberg Businessweek published its top 85 disruptive ideas.


text:
After the Allied victory in World War Two there was a mood of optimism and boldness in the U.S. that might be difficult for later generations to imagine. The world seemed to be making progress. Kinsey was a zoologist at Indiana University, but midway through his career he realized that widespread ignorance about sex is a more important subject for study and research than the evolution of wasps. He interviewed thousands of people about their sexual lives, and wrote two books "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male," and "Sexual Behavior in the Human Female," the publication of which were likened to dropping an atomic bomb on traditional puritanism. But many people strongly resist and resent change; some people are terrified by change. Hence the hysterical propaganda film: "The Kinsey Syndrome: How One Man Destroyed the Morality of America"
The film parrots standard slogans and rhetoric: "children don't know" about sex until someone "steals their innocence." The dramatic music and horror movie sound effects serve no purpose than to cultivate the mood of fear this film wants to provoke. Vicious and blatantly groundless accusations are made against the courageous and pioneering scientist, Alfred Kinsey. The narrator claims the foundations of our nation are "Christian principles." Bogus figures on missing children are quoted to terrify viewers by exaggerating the risk of stranger abduction. Instead of quoting national statistics on child injury and fatality, an obscure "estimate" of child abductions is repeated more than once to mislead viewers about the most frequent and most deadly dangers children face. A self-interested author quotes the hysterical parent of a victim as saying "Your child could be next," as if that's a reliable source to calculate the actual probability of danger.
Prosecutors and other self-interested non-experts are quoted making silly and irrelevant emotional statements like "Your child can disappear in an instant." The narrator repeats what a prosecutor claims: that abused children are "scarred forever," and "messed up for life," as if he's a medical doctor as well as a prosecutor. The discredited claim that children who were sexually abused "often lead troubled lives" is merely repeated without mentioning the counter-evidence.*
The film makes no distinction between "pedophiles" and child molesters. It makes false claims about the supposedly high rate of recidivism of "pedophiles," without acknowledging (or unaware) that one of the world's leading authorities on pedophilia says not only do sex offenders against children have a relatively low rate of recidivism, an estimated half of sex offenders against children aren't even pedophiles (many are actually psychopaths who prefer adult sex partners).** The film later contradicts itself by claiming that most pedophiles are never caught. How does anyone know that? If we don't have access to most pedophiles, how can we make valid generalizations about them as a group?
The narrator refers to "us as a society" as if everyone is in agreement about the supposed need for terror. He quotes a law firm as saying the supposed increase of sex offenses against children is "directly tied" to the increase of pornography on the web. Since when is a law firm an expert on the alleged (supposedly causal) relationship between pornography on the web and sex offenses? Even a former porn star is quoted for her valuable opinion on the supposedly causal connection between porn and sex offenses against children. (She and a former pornographer later testify how God saves.)
Sensationalist journalists are shown making groundless claims like "the average child molester" has more than 100 victims, and quotes one hysteric (Judith Reisman) who claims, incredibly, that much of the current "horror show" can be traced back to the scientist Kinsey. She quotes the old conspiracy theory (with only token support) that organizations like the Rockefeller Foundation wanted to corrupt America's "Christian principles" by any means necessary.
Rather than trying to prove the silly claim that Kinsey was largely or solely responsible for the supposed increase in child sexual abuse later, the film goes on to attack the validity of Kinsey's pioneering research. Most incredibly, Kinsey's research is criticized for selection bias because he included convicted sex offenders and prostitutes as part of his population sample. While that criticism may very well be justified, this film nowhere mentions that the multitude of research claiming that child sexual abuse is usually seriously harmful was no less guilty of selection bias by including patients in therapy as part (if not all) of their study populations. According to this film, selection bias is bad (or "scientific fraud") only if your opponents do it.
Note that we are talking about early sex research done in the 1940s and 1950s, compared to sex abuse research as recent as the1990s. Nor does this film mention another type of bias created by the political correctness police: publication bias. For a long time it has been very difficult if not impossible to obtain any funding to conduct and publish impartial child sexuality research, regardless of who applies for it.
Much footage is devoted to Kinsey's survey of children's sexual experience, quoting Judith Reisman who hysterically claims he was "responsible" for the sexual abuse of hundreds if not thousands of children. In reality, the data in question were claimed (by Kinsey and co-researchers) to have come from several child molesters long after the fact. A recent director of the Kinsey Institute says he believes only one child molester provided the data, and Kinsey's claim of several molesters was intended to protect his source (just as a journalist's privilege, lawyer/client, doctor/patient, etc.). But regardless of the number of Kinsey's sources, none of the film's long discussion proves Reisman's accusation that Kinsey was "responsible" for any child molestation (let alone hundreds or thousands), or that the data (regardless of the number of sources) were not accurate. The film contradicts itself again by quoting another propaganda film that claims an outside scientist (not part of Kinsey's research team) trained the molester to record his data.
The reports that some children enjoyed their sexual experiences are called "shocking" by the narrator. Reisman suggests that children having orgasms is torture, and it would be impossible for a four-year-old to have 26 orgasms within 24 hours, as reported in Kinsey's book. (Reisman should read my forthcoming blog post about my own childhood.) On the basis of my personal experience of my own childhood orgasms I would agree with Kinsey's critics that some of his book's description of orgasms in young children is hard to believe. Orgasm in childhood is a normal and natural response to stimulation, and not at all as dramatic as either Kinsey or his hysterical critics claim. I am not claiming any observations; I am speaking from the horse's mouth.
The film claims a crucial point is that Kinsey and his researchers must have encouraged pedophiles to molest children and record their observations carefully, but despite a lot of effort attempting to prove that point (Kinsey researchers are accused of "word play," and actors posing as scientists are shown giving stopwatches to other actors posing as dirty old men, accompanied by dramatic music), a Kinsey co-worker and former director of the Kinsey Institute flatly denies any such thing, and convincingly explains that the pedophile(s) were not encouraged nor trained to do anything. Only parents and child care workers who observed children spontaneously playing by themselves were encouraged to record their observations carefully.
This propaganda film wouldn't be complete without a pseudonymous victim claiming recovered memories. A woman says she was molested by her father with a stopwatch when she was a child, and she claims the father boasted that he had helped Kinsey's research. She only remembered or realized what had happened years later. Although she claims her mother didn't know about it at the time, the latter reportedly corroborated the woman's accusations – an inconsistency the film sees no need to explain.
A truly bizarre part of this story is the revelation that after WWII, Kinsey had reportedly corresponded with a former Nazi in Germany who was later arrested for the possible murder of a child during the war in occupied Poland. But the narrator tries to confuse the time period with ambiguous verb tenses that suggest the crimes were in progress during Kinsey's post-war correspondence. The evidence for molestation was evidently the molester's diaries which he kept during the war, and yet the narrator in this film keeps saying Kinsey corresponded with the man who "was molesting" children, rather than saying he "had been molesting" or "used to molest" children. The former Nazi is also repeatedly called a "Nazi," even though the time period referred to is clearly the 1950s. Once a Nazi always a Nazi?
Kinsey's letters are said to have encouraged the man to "continue his research," but no evidence is offered that by that phrase he meant molest more children, nor is any evidence presented that any more children were in fact molested. Instead, the viewer is presented with images of an actor wearing a Nazi uniform complete with swastika armband, accompanied by dramatic music. At the end of this part of the story, the narrator stops playing word games himself and says in no uncertain terms: the "Nazi's" crimes took place during the war (not during Kinsey's post-war correspondence).
The film makes another weak attempt at guilt-by-association in Kinsey's efforts to obtain the diaries of the infamous occultist Aleister Crowley in Europe. Kinsey's motto "Do your best and let other people react as they will," is likened to Crowley's motto "Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of the law." Hardly a close resemblance. Complaining that Kinsey's research influenced the modernization of sex laws, this film neglects to mention that many sex laws date back to the 1800s. Is that the enlightened period we should forever consider a model of legal wisdom?
Calling anyone under 18 "children," and labeling Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner as Kinsey's "pamphleteer," the film brings Reisman back to make the arrogant and ridiculous claim that Playboy and similar magazines must be arousing, and arousal must be acted out in violent sex crimes. "That's just the way the human brain works," Reisman declares. Despite the certainty with which the supposed link between pornography and crime is asserted, only the weakest arguments are offered as evidence, e.g. sex crimes increased during the 1960s, the same period in which Playboy became very popular, which is like saying the increase in coffee drinking is responsible for the increase in sexual abuse because both occurred during the same decade. No hard scientific evidence for the supposed porn-crime link is mentioned.
Another contradiction: After arguing that viewing porn creates a sex addiction, Reisman claims viewing porn desensitizes people to sex. I'm glad she finally got it right. The self-righteous saviors of children's purity are unbound by logic, and amidst the shame over child sexual abuse, they are shameless in presenting this propaganda film as honest, dispassionate analysis. The film concludes by claiming Kinsey's death was a masochistic suicide, and although I'm unable to verify or dispute that claim, the claim does nothing to discredit the courageous and pioneering work Kinsey did during his life, and his work's possible contribution to the revolution in popular attitudes that previously censored open discussion of human sexuality and healthy sexual development.
Compared to his European predecessors (Krafft-Ebing, Havelock Ellis, Freud), Alfred Kinsey was more open-minded and much more scientific. Kinsey was not perfect, but he marked a clear and precious historical transition from sexual philosophy and moral indoctrination to sexual science and balanced education. Despite blatant propaganda films like this one, we are still making progress on that road.

California, parents with kids studying in the state are now allowed to let their children bring medical cannabis on school premises, According to the bill passed last week by the state Assembly from Sacramento.
California already has a state law that has allowed minors to use medical cannabis way back since the '90s. However, school administrators prohibit it on campus grounds. This means that parents have no choice but to either withdraw their children from school or meet them outside of the campus just to give them their dose.
This bill called SB 1127 was approved by Governor Jerry Brown will allow medical cannabis use on school premise as long as it is not in the form of smoking or vaping. Capsules, oils, and lotions are allowed but it should be paired with the students' medical cannabis prescription.
Senator Jerry Hill is carrying the bill. He said that this legislation would help the children, including teenagers, with severe medical disabilities and whose only hope is medical cannabis.
School administrators welcome this new policy for their institutions but they clarified that this does not impose that cannabis should be allowed on school grounds.
Dozens of other bills were passed along with this one last week.
The idea for SB 1127 was suggested to the senator by the associate superintendent of the San Mateo County Office of Education- Nancy Magee.
Magee said that she knows someone from the Hill's district of South San Francisco who has a son with Gastaut syndrome and is experiencing up to 50 seizures a day because of his condition. It took a while before he was finally given his medical cannabis prescription.
According to Magee, "Children with significant health conditions often face challenges that interfere not only with their ability to attend school and to learn, but also to have normal childhood experience like making friends and being part of a school community."
Another story brought to the public was the case of a 5-year-old girl from Santa Rosa, California who has a rare form of epilepsy.
According to the Press Democrat, the court allowed this little girl to bring her cannabis medication to her kindergarten school to counter her seizure attacks.
However, it was only a temporary order by the judge as he was still to weighing the final ruling. This case came into light since the parents felt that the school violated the protection for disabled children.
In a later decision, the school district prohibited the little girl from bringing her medication to school which alarmed the family, according to the newspaper.
For Senator Jerry Hill, "This legislation is about giving students access to the medicine they need so they have a better chance for success in the classroom and in the community."
Although this bill is one of the most progressive moves for the cannabis movement, there is still a full emphasis that this piece of legislation only applies to medical cannabis. Meanwhile, the recreational use of marijuana is still banned on school premises.
But school districts still have the power to decide on whether to allow the adult use of cannabis on campuses or not. Some might consider treating it like how they treat smoking on campus by also creating smoking areas but only for cannabis.
This issue was not yet discussed in the bills that were passed in the Assembly.
During that assembly, the Senate also passed a bill that prohibits alcoholic beverages that contain cannabis. A Democrat Assemblyman from Rancho Cordova, Ken Cooley, presented the bill when he discovered that bartenders mix cannabis oils and extracts with cocktails. It was carried over to the Assembly.
Another legislation was also passed by the Assembly, and it made sure that mail-in ballots count even when voters have untidy signatures.
It will require the counties to confirm with the voters before they can decide not to include the ballot if the signature would not match the one registered under their file specimen of signatures.
A bill was also passed by the Assembly prohibiting people from buying more than one long gun in a period of a month, with exceptions. In the case of handguns, the same prohibitions have already been applied. The bill was sent back to the state Senate.
Lastly, the Assembly passed a bill that would allow San Francisco pilots the so-called safe injection sites that will authorize people to consume illegal drugs like heroin and cocaine, as long as it is under medical supervision. According to the author, the intention of the bill is to reduce cases of death by drug overdose. This bill is now headed to Brown's office.

If you've been on the hunt for a job lately, you might know just how competitive the market has become. Don't expect a callback when you apply for a job anymore even at the interview stage. You most likely won't get one, unless you've secured the position. That's because employers look at hundreds of applicants and they don't have time to provide a response to all of them. Now, you might think that this heated competition means that businesses can guarantee they get the best workers. While this is true, it has also led to a rather negative side effect. Employers know people are desperate for work. So, they are cutting corners with their responsibilities for workers. One of the key areas where businesses are constantly failing is safety. Do you think you're safe in the office? Don't be so sure…

Repetitive Strain Injury affects millions of people across the country. You might have heard a little about it and thought it's not that important. In fact, there are some articles that tell workers to power through it! What they never seem to admit is that the effects of RSI cause permanent damage to the nerves in your hand. It can leave you with constant chronic pain that will get worse over time. It could even stop you from completing your job. The worst part about this is that RSI is completely preventable. You just need to make sure that your employers are giving you regular breaks from typing. Do that and you won't have any issues with this particular problem.
Hazards In The Office
Link To Pic
There is an idea floating around the internet that employees should be responsible for keeping an office safe. Certainly, they should do what they can to keep a work environment free from hazards. But it is not their job to fix a hazard if they see one. A computer worker shouldn't be expected to clean up a mess on the floor. Actually, it is the role and responsibility of the employer to deal with issues like this. Or, to hire someone else who will. The idea that an employee should have prevented an accident will not stand up in court. Lawyers like Hupy and Abraham personal injury attorneys have won their clients thousands due to hazards that should have been dealt with.
Emotional Stress
Picture Source
If you were working in the journalism in the late eighties you might remember a familiar sight. Workers were constantly berated and yelled at in front of an entire team of staff. Either because they didn't get the story right. Or possibly because they made a mistake in the article. This wouldn't happen today because employers know what it could lead to. A rather nasty lawsuit based on a case of emotional distress. Still, there are employers who don't give their workers the respect that they deserve. Eventually, this type of practice will get them in trouble. So, if you think you're being unfairly treated by your boss. Don't stand for it, you have the right to work in an environment where you feel safe and happy.

A predominant impression that sets in at the mention of adult education sounds like "it's school for the old"; but that's not true entirely. Although adult education was basically meant for those who initially terminated or somehow had an interruption in their early education, it still applies to the education one gets beyond the age of say 25 or 30.
As much as the big name calls it, adult education has almost the same learning setting as the usual education regular students get in school. This procedure extends through collaborative adult education research projects, teaching patterns, examination, final year projects, tuition fee payments and other administrative formalities. But there are facts about adult education which you are yet to apprehend; we will have them discussed here as you read on.
It's not conventional schooling
Adult education doesn't take after conventional schooling; It takes an advanced pattern of teaching and learning. Students need not appear in uniforms or some special attire; some do not even see their instructors from the beginning to the end of their adult education. Meanwhile, there is this dynamic aura that surrounds the adult education sphere that's often not native to normal early education.
Students take responsibility for their own learning
Unlike normal early education, adult education expects students to be part of their learning programme design. Students sit with their instructors to schedule lecture days and time, lecture medium or venue and all; they can even decide if classes hold or not. No one is questionable for your absence or sudden decision to discontinue your education; everyone is just their own lord.
Its major aim is to make people literate
Most times adult education is embraced just to eradicate illiteracy in the society especially when it comes under the umbrella of community development. Adults in rural communities partake in such education and apparently graduate but end up without a professional portfolio. In some other cases, adult education presents itself in the form of skill acquisition or some tech learning either virtual or otherwise. Meanwhile, it originally calls off ignorance from the mind of the beneficiaries.
Back here, adult education is very visible in the university communities where such programmes like continuing education, post-graduate programmes, Masters and Ph.D. programmes are held. Otherwise, it could just be some empowerment or skill acquisition programmes organized to illuminate the society intellectually.

I think that even during education you need to prepare for your future work. Go to internships, get a side job. It'll be helpful. And when you graduate, use services of resume writing firms. Take a look at this review https://edureviewer.com/resume/resumes-planet-reviews/ to find out more about them.
Hello! It seems to me that this is a great opportunity for adults to make themselves more literate. In our modern world, it's very important to be literate. But adults usually have a job and a family, they don't have much time to study and they can provide paper work for professionals. I always did this, and always contacted essay writing services.

Plastic Man #17 (April-May, 1977)
Story - John Albano
Art - Ramona Fradon & Bob Smith
Cover Price: $0.30
Figured on the eve of our ONE-THOUSANDTH DAILY DISCUSSION, we'd stretch our legs a little bit with some Bronze-Age Plastic Man.
Got butterflies in my belly about tomorrow's piece... I hope you all stick around for that!
We open with... a quick and dirty retelling of Plas' origin story which, I suppose is most helpful if you're unaware of where he came from. If'n ya don't know, he was originally a safe-cracker named Eel O'Brian, who nearly got caught while he and some pals were knocking over a chemical plant. His associates left him behind... he was shot in the back, and fell into a vat of acid. He'd survive the dunk, and soon realize he'd manifested rubber-band properties... with which he would "fight the kind of rats" that left him behind. not exactly "I am justice, I am the night", but it'll work. Also, he has a pal named Woozy.
To the present... a pair of Communis... err, anti-Capitalists plan to bomb a "Capitalist-owned" Department Store (well, gee, that narrows it down), to... uh, I dunno, scare them, I guess?
Wouldn'tcha know it, their plan goes off without a hitch... the place goes boom, leaving two people dea... err, "seriously injured". C'mon Plas, you don't cover up "injured" people like that.
Anyhoo, before pursuing the baddies, Plas decides to pop in on his lady love, Dolly. He tells Woozy to go grab a bite to eat while he waits... and so, the penniless goof attempts to steal some kids hot dog. This doesn't turn out well for him (and makes him look like quite the predator). Inside, Plastic Man finds his beloved Dolly... with (dun-dun-dunnnn) another man!
Plas leaves... and even takes his puny bouquet of flowers with him. Moments later, those two Commie... er, Anti-Capitalists bust into Dolly's apartment. Ya see, her father, Willie Wile, is a renowned (and reformed) bank robber, and a man the Anticaps need for their next outing. They figure, they steal the dame, her daddy'll do whatever they ask of him.
Oh, they also toss her gentleman caller out the window. Plastic Man makes the save... but it doesn't look like it was all that pleasant a landing either way.
Then, Plastic Man hops into action. He approaches the would-be Dollynappers, however, since they are holding a gun up to her pretty little head, there isn't much he can do. They load her into their boogeyvan and drive off. Somehow they don't realize that Plastic Man will simply follow them from a safe distance.
Meanwhile, Woozy Winks decides to rush off to the Police Station to tell them what just happened. I'm not sure if this is a running gag or not (though, I presume it is), but he's already been scooped by an' old bitty named Miss Snoopbone, who saw the whole thing through her telescope. Whatta bummer.
We rejoin Plastic Man as he locates the van. Peeking inside, he doesn't find Dolly... but, her father Willie is there. The Anticaps twist his arm with threats to his daughter, and he agrees to take part in their next outing.
Plastic Man sits back as the baddies disguise their van as that of the Police Bomb Squad. Once that's done, he removes one of the tires, and takes its place himself. Adding insult to discomfort, he takes a few stiff kicks to test his psi. Good thing they didn't use a gauge... I'd hate to think where they'd stick it!
The trio head to the bank, and convince the guards to... get this, evacuate the entire place. They claim that they received word of a bomb threat, and were here to check it out. Nobody asked for credentials... which makes me thankful I keep all of my money under my mattress. After robbing the emptied bank, they leave claiming the entire thing was a "false alarm".
Later, the goons bring Willie back to the woods, and release his daughter. Of course, it's not going to be that easy... since, they figure he's outlived his usefulness, they'll just kill 'em both.
Well, not so fast, kemosabes... because Plastic Man saw the whole thing. He bowls over a baddie, and even Willie gets in on the act. Together, they're able to neutralize the Anti-Capitalist threat.
The Police show up, and they all have a good laugh. Dolly gives Plas a peck on the cheek, and he asks if they can have a dinner date tonight. She's all "nope, already have a date"... okay, so what about tomorrow... "nope, that's another dude's night". Wonk wonk wonnnnk.
We wrap up with Woozy rushing off to the Daily Globe, hopeful that he can break the story... only to find out he's been scooped yet again!
Okay, this was a fun one! Weird and silly... just a neat little story.
This is the kind of, I dunno, "episodic" storytelling that younger Chris would have turned his nose up at. Whatever stakes there are, are confined to this issue. I'm not expecting any of this to effect things moving forward... though, I'd assume "running gags" like Miss Snoopdogg or whatever scooping Woozy, and maybe Dolly's numerous suitors, might continue. Very sitcommy. As a kid, this would've turned me off... today though, I find it sort of refreshing.
Not every issue needs to shatter our senses, or "break the internet". It's cool to just be able to read a fun story, and not worry about what bits and pieces we need to commit to our memory... or worry about cross-referencing it with whatever filing system we have in our brains.
Couldn't discuss this issue without giving a sizable nod to the wonderful art. Ramona Fradon is pretty awesome... Plastic Man is one of those characters perfectly suited for her pencil. We've covered a few more Fradon works here... I believe there was an Aquaman and a Metamorpho story... perhaps even a Super Friends. She's great. This issues doesn't look overly cartoony... it walks that line between "regular" comic book and far-out crazy Plas, and does so wonderfully.
It's funny... my main takeaway from this issue is that one panel after the Department Store explosion... ya know, with the "seriously injured" people. This one:
I mean, those people are almost certainly dead... right? I'm no paramedic, but I don't think you cover the faces of folks who are still alive, right? Heck, I suppose I could be wrong. I'd bet they were originally intended to be fatalities though... probably had to "soften" it for the Comics Code Authority. The CCA had softened post 1971... but, perhaps not to the point where we can show actual dead bodies in the pages of a book like Plastic Man.
Overall, heckuva good time here. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's been collected nor made available digitally. Maybe one day!
Before we check out, another reminder that tomorrow... that is, Friday, October 26, 2018... is the day of our ONE-THOUSANDTH DAILY DISCUSSION. Be there or be... somewhere else!

Psquare (Peter and Paul Okoye) are at again. The singing duo recently described the way some of their colleagues in Nigerian entertainment industry go about doing collabo with international artists as nothing but colonial mentality.
At a press conference which was held in the London, Psquare said
"If you are taking me to a club to listen to western music, forget it I wont go there
Don't be deceived by this collabo thing…cause they are trying to tap from us
If you don't open the doors for us, we would shut our door.
I don't need to do a collabo with somebody before you can start playing my music there (abroad), we play your songs in Nigeria, did you do a collabo with anybody?
We don't need no collaboration from no artist, we don't need no Jay Z, we don't need no Kanye West!"
Obviously,Psquare was referring to D'banj's new collabo with Snop Dog and his new deal with Kanye West record company. Darey also did one with chamillionaire
I support you Psquare, a collabo with Ras Kimono or our own Pasuma wonder would be sold out!

A woman who self-harmed as a teen has spoken about her experience with Eamonn Holmes, after a study by the Children's Society found that almost one in four 14-year-old girls had self-harmed.
Laura Kilvington, 28, a freelance writer, told Holmes that she started self-harming at 11.
"I was very young when I started self harming, I was 11 and I'd just started high school and it wasn't something that was widely talked about back then," she said.
"It is something that I felt very ashamed about, and it was only when I started to talk about it that I could start to get the help I needed.
"Unfortunately it was a little too late for me and I've had to struggle through adulthood as well. I also find a lot of people thought it was attention seeking so that's something that's stopped me talking about it before."
Ms Kilvington explained that self-harming can be a "release".
"A lot of people think self harming is just cutting yourself, and it's not that, I was hitting myself, banging my head against things, tearing out my hair as well as other things, and it was a way for me release and deal with the things at the time that I didn't have the answer for," she said.
- Read more: Julia Hartley-Brewer: 'I deliberately drank too much when I was 14 and I don't think I was self-harming'
"That's what it was for me and I think many others could relate to that too."
She added that she had been recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder and had had a relapse of self-harming, after 11 years of not doing it.
'A lot of bad experiences' getting help
Co-host Jane Moore asked about her experiences of getting help, and Ms Kilvington said it had been difficult.
"It wasn't easy, I had a lot of bad experiences with mental health services in my area before I was happy with it. A lot more needs to be done," she said.
Analysis by the Royal College of Psychiatrists in February found that mental health trusts in the UK were receiving less funding than they were six years ago, once inflation was taken into account.
In 2016-17 there were over 1.3 million referrals to mental health services. 69% of those entered treatment, but only 58% finished a course of treatment, and of those that scored highly on questionnaires to assess the level of their complaint, only 49% were classed as having recovered by the end of their treatment, according to data from NHS Digital.
'More funding needed'
"It never ceases to amaze me how many adults I talk to, and I notice marks on their arms and hands, and I think what is the story behind that? Do more people do it than they care to admit to?" asked Holmes.
"Yeah definitely," Ms Kilvington said.
"I've spoken to a number of adults that say it's not just something young people go through. "Unless we get to the problem when people are young, it's something they'll struggle with for the rest of their lives."
Jo Estrin, of the charity Young Minds, said more funding into child and adolescent mental health services [CAMHS] was key.
"There needs to be more funding to make sure children who reach out for help do get it and can feel secure in the fact they'll get it, and we put a proper emphasis on early support so when problems first develop, young people can work through them," she said.
She also advised parents to talk openly to their children about mental health "so it isn't a big heavy thing to approach".

Computers isn't limited to the areas where we most expect to find it similar to business and trade. Lack of job security – Industry specialists imagine that the Web has made job safety a big issue as since expertise keeps on altering with each day. Which means that one must be in a constant learning mode, if she or he wishes for his or her job to be secure. For automation of stitching process , industrial robots are just lately being developed that may handle the fabric during stitching operation. The concept of automated stitching robots was derived from a motorized hand-held medical sewing machine used to shut the edge of wounds by spherical seams. Determine-3 reveals the image of a compact and lightweight robotic stitching machine.
It isn't enterprise as traditional in America anymore, or the rest of the global financial system. In 2009, extra wireless cellphone accounts were opened than telephone land lines put in.

Regardless of the recession, e-commerce and Web promoting continue to increase. Google's on-line advert revenues surpassed $25 billion in 2009, and Internet advertising continues to develop at more than 10 p.c a year, reaching more than $25 billion in revenues in 2010.
There are additionally different potentialities. Health inequality – the distinction in mortality charges between the wealthy and the poor – is already a stark actuality Continuing developments in medical expertise are permitting these with money to take better care of their health through way of life and vitamin, take preventative measures based mostly on testing akin to genetic screening, and entry advanced medical interventions to cure diseases once they do occur. All of these items, however, price cash. That implies that they aren't accessible to everybody. Rising financial inequality, possibly increased even additional by automation as described above, combined with the continued improvement of expensive medical technologies, may lead to a much more pronounced rift between an extended-lived and wholesome elite and the abnormal mass of humanity. Add the transhumanist agenda to 'improve' humanity utilizing expertise and it's straightforward to see the potential for a new 'grasp race' to emerge.

New Hampshire is receiving $7.7 million in federal housing grants to support more than 50 programs that help the homeless
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � New Hampshire will receive $7.7 million in federal housing grants to support more than 50 programs that help the homeless, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said Tuesday.
The funding going to New Hampshire is part of $2.2. billion in homeless grants aimed at supporting thousands of local homeless programs nationwide.
Earlier this month, HUD said that 1,400 people in New Hampshire experienced homelessness on a single night in January 2019, a decrease of 3.7% from 2018. Most of that group were found in emergency shelters or transitional housing programs, while nearly 150 people were unsheltered, the report said.
The statistics also showed that the number of families with children experiencing homelessness decreased 5 percent from 2018. Homelessness among veterans, which has been decreasing since 2010, decreased 21 percent from 2018 in New Hampshire.
Known as HUD�s Continuum of Care grants, the $7.7 million for New Hampshire will go to groups on the front lines serving individuals and families that are homeless.
�This funding is critical to local New Hampshire programs that are on the front lines of helping those who might otherwise be living on our streets,� HUD New England Regional Administrator David Tille said in statement.

Autumn Statement 2016 – Personal Taxation
November 29th, 2016
Personal allowance and higher rate threshold
The personal allowance will rise to £11,500 and the higher rate threshold to £45,000 for 2017/18. The higher rate threshold is likely to be lower for Scottish taxpayers because the Scottish government has said that it intends to increase it by no more than the rate of inflation.
The Chancellor re-confirmed the goal of a £12,500 personal allowance and £50,000 higher rate tax threshold by 2020. After that date the personal allowance will rise in line with the CPI rather than the national minimum wage, as previously proposed.
National insurance contributions (NICs)
The primary and secondary NIC thresholds for employees and employers will be aligned at £157 a week in 2017/18.
Class 2 NICs will be abolished from April 2018. For 2018/19 onwards, benefit entitlement for the self-employed will be based on their Class 3 and Class 4 NIC records.
Termination payments
From April 2018 termination payments to employees of over £30,000 (that are subject to income tax) will also be subject to employer NICs. This has been previously announced. Tax will only be applied to the equivalent of an employee's basic pay if they have not worked their notice. The first £30,000 of a termination payment will normally remain exempt from income tax and NICs.
Off-payroll working rules
The 'off-payroll working' rules will change in the public sector from April 2017, with the responsibility for operating them and paying the correct tax moving to the body paying the worker's company. As a consequence, the 5% tax-free allowance will be removed for those working in the public sector who are paid through companies.
Legal support
From April 2017, employees called to give evidence in court will no longer need to pay tax on the legal support from their employer.
Taxation of remuneration
Three measures have been announced on the treatment of remuneration other than in the form of a cash salary:
- Salary sacrifice The tax and NIC advantages of salary sacrifice schemes will be removed from April 2017, except for arrangements relating to pensions (including advice), childcare, cycle to work schemes and ultra-low emission cars. Arrangements in place before April 2017 will be protected until April 2018, and arrangements for cars, accommodation and school fees will be protected until April 2021.
- Valuation of benefits in kind The government will publish a consultation on employer-provided living accommodation and will also ask for evidence on the valuation of all other benefits in kind in the 2017 Budget.
- Employee business expenses There will also be a call for evidence on tax relief for employees' business expenses, including those that employers do not reimburse.
New tax allowances for property and trading income
From April 2017 two new income tax allowances of £1,000 each will cover trading income and property income, as announced in Budget 2016. Individuals with trading or property income below the allowance will not need to declare or pay tax on that income. The trading income allowance will now be extended to apply to certain miscellaneous income from providing assets or services.
Non-domiciled individuals
From April 2017, non-domiciled individuals will be deemed to be UK-domiciled for tax purposes if they have been UK resident for 15 of the past 20 years, or if they were born in the UK with a UK domicile of origin. Non-domiciled individuals who have a non-UK resident trust set up before they become deemed-domiciled in the UK will not be taxed on income and gains arising outside the UK and retained in the trust.
Also from April 2017, inheritance tax will be charged on UK residential property when it is held indirectly by a non-domiciled individual through an offshore structure, such as a company or a trust. The new rules were announced previously.
Inheritance tax reliefs
Inheritance tax relief for donations to political parties will be extended to parties with representatives in the devolved legislatures. This change will take effect from Royal Assent of the Finance Bill 2017/18.
Company car tax
For 2020/21, lower bands will be introduced for the lowest emitting cars. The appropriate percentage for cars emitting over 90g CO2/km will rise by 1%.

Supplements have grown to be so common but there is a great deal of questions still being asked about the use of health supplements and also how to know which supplements are the best to use.
It is critical to remember that supplements are just meant to supplement a healthy diet, not substitute it. If you're not currently eating well, supplements are not going to make up for a bad diet so you must be looking at your diet as well.
We must get the nutrients and minerals we require from our everyday meals, not supplements. Simply because natural foods frequently have distinctive combinations of nutrients that are required for correct assimilation, natural or organic food is frequently absorbed and utilized better than supplements are.
However, residing in the world nowadays the food that is readily obtainable to us is not always natural and for that reason, it is difficult to get the nutrients and minerals we require from our meals alone.
Another thing to be aware of is that dependent on the quality of the supplement and whether or not it is from a natural or synthetic supply, the nutrients from the supplement might not be absorbed very well or at all.
Dietary Supplements Are Crucial
Despite many criticisms, supplements are quite helpful when used properly and can have a considerable positive impact on your wellness.
There are three major reasons why health supplements are critical.
Demanding Lifestyles
Modern society puts a greater demand on our bodies.
Many of us are under a great deal of pressure both at home and at work. We try to pack a lot of activity into every day. We then often do not get as much good quality sleep as we must.
We also reside in an environment full of chemical toxins that are virtually unattainable to avoid.
Supplements can not take the place of correct rest, but a lot of us are in situations that mean it is not usually feasible to cut down on tension and the level of activity.
Incorporating supplements into an already healthy diet can make a big difference.
Quality of Food
Food these days is often grown in water or poor soil, and as a result, the food we eat can have very low quantities of nutrients and minerals.
The food is often also be sprayed with pesticides and other chemical substances to guarantee that it has a better shelf life and looks more appealing. These can further minimize the nutritional quality and can add toxins that your entire body then absorbs.
Simply because of environmental pollution, even natural food doesn't contain the sum of nutrition that it did just a few decades ago.
Supplements can assist to compensate for the reduced nutritional value of your meals.
Poor Digestion
Simply because poor diets have become so commonplace in modern-day society, a lot of us have compromised digestion and are not correctly assimilating all the food we eat. Our metabolism is not performing at the optimum level.
Poor digestion is a significant health concern that must be addressed as quickly as feasible. It is critical to uncover a further supply of nutrition to compensate for the impaired absorption and this is exactly where men and women may possibly frequently start utilizing supplements. Although supplements may possibly give a quick fix, you must take into account improving digestion as a priority. Also, read this review about a simple way, that can help you Lose Weight Fast.

text: Some of the guys asked me to post some good links for weather forecasting, because they wanted to learn about weather themselves and not have to rely as much on the regular sources such as weather.com and intellicast. If you really want to learn 'real time' from other forecasters, I highly recommend reading the daily forecast discussions issued by local NWS offices. They can be found through IWIN by going here: http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov Once there, click on a version, find your state data and then choose the 'forecast discussion' option. This is usually a good source of information, unless the forecaster is a dud. Here are some of the tools I use on a daily basis: The MRF model is helpful to watch and view forecast trends over a 3-10 day period, but must be watched closely because it's trends can vary significantly from one update cycle to the next. MRF - Medium Range Forecast Links from various sources: UCAR: http://www.rap.ucar.edu/weather/model/index.php3?model=mrf Unisys: http://weather.unisys.com/mrf/index.html Nexlab: http://weather.cod.edu/forecast The ETA and AVA models are also good forecasting tools for shorter term forecasting from 0-72hrs. The ETA is usually the preferred model of choice, but many forecasters tend to compare all of the models and base their forecasts upon a compromise between two models. When this happens, it is usually a comprominse between the ETA and AVN. ETA Model (0-60hrs.)

Engine oil thickens at cold temperatures, this thickening is commonly referred to as congealing. Even though it is bolted to a warm engine, it is possible for a congealing type oil cooler to remain cold enough to cause the engine oil inside it to remain cold and thick (congealed). When the engine warms up to about 160-180F the vernatherm directs oil into the oil cooler, but if there is congealed oil in the cooler, it can take a considerable amount of time for the oil to begin to flow through the oil cooler.
To avoid this situation, Non-Congealing oil coolers were designed to have a small - but continuous - amount of engine oil flowing through them at all times - even when the vernatherm is in full oil cooler by-pass mode at low oil temps. Non-Congealing oil coolers feature what is (non-technically) referred to as a "Wee-Wee Hole" (as in the picture above, right). This "Wee-Wee Hole" is a passageway running through the center of the oil cooler, through which a constant supply warm engine oil is pumped. This keeps the oil cooler - and the roughly two quarts of oil it contains, at (or near) the temperature of the engine. This way, engine oil can easily flow through the oil cooler the very instant that its flow is directed there via the vernatherm.
Under "Model Differences" are Oil Coolers commonly used on your aircraft. The part numbers of the baffles that fit each oil cooler are listed. Please measure your oil cooler to determine the baffle package that fits your aircraft.
- A congealing or non-congealing oil cooler can be identified by the thickness of the base plate and the presence of the "wee-wee hole" as indicated in the pictures below.

LV= names new leaders of protection and retirement solutions and heritage
Insurer LV= has appointed new leaders of its protection and retirement solutions and heritage businesses.
Debbie Kennedy has been put in charge of protection at LV=, while Clive Bolton takes over as head of retirement solutions and heritage. Both appointments will take effect on 1 July.
Kennedy will join LV= from MLC Life Insurance, based in Melbourne, Australia, where she is general manager of business design and change and was previously chief underwriting officer.
Prior to this, Kennedy was group head of protection strategy at Royal London. She has also held a number of senior protection roles at Scottish Equitable, Swiss Re, AXA and Capita.
Bolton's move to concentrate on the retirement solutions and heritage business at LV= reflects the insurer's increased focus on the retirement sector, where he has significant expertise and experience.
Kennedy will join Bolton on the executive team and both will report directly to Richard Rowney, chief executive of LV=.
Rowney said: "Debbie brings a real breadth of expertise in protection to our business along with strong leadership skills having worked in a number of diverse environments. We have big ambitions for both our protection and retirement businesses and with Debbie and Clive at the helm I'm confident we've got the right leadership to enable LV='s continued success."

Jean Tinguely
Gladstone Gallery | West 21st St
Jean Tinguely (1925–1991) was a Swiss-born artist of singular though shifting reputation. His special place in American art owes much to his close connection, both stylistic and personal, to our great neo-Dadaists: Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. The elevation of the found object and the devotion to chance, key procedures in the work of both those artists, unexpectedly achieved an apotheosis in the tinkling piano of Tinguely's own Homage to New York, 1960, a piece that, at its premiere in the gardens of the old Museum of Modern Art, New York, famously collapsed into flamesthe unanticipated Götterdämmerung of a vital new mode.
Tinguely's international reputation began at Galerie Arnaud, Paris, where his first Métamatic reliefs were shown in 1954. Most were black rectangles upon which tiny metal scraps of elemental geometric shapes turned slowly, transforming these abstract

"Compassionate." Brian and his team provided my family with invaluable support.
A massage therapist in Louisville, Kentucky has been arrested for sexual misconduct. Wankun Chen, 55, has been charged with first-degree rape, first-degree sexual abuse and bribing a witness. According to police authorities, the massage therapist inappropriately touched at least two women during massage sessions in December 2018 and March 2019, the Courier Journal reports.

Kentucky Massage Therapist Charged For Sexual Assault
The allegations against Wankun Chen are truly shocking. According to police, the massage therapist assaulted two women during the course of four months. In the first incident, on December 30, 2018, police believe Chen forced one of his customers to touch his genitals. The victim told police that he also grabbed her wrist while she was holding a towel over her nude body, causing the towel to drop and exposing her body to him.
The second incident, reported later, is just as damning. The second victim told authorities that Chen pulled down her underwear and stuck his finger in her vagina during a massage session in March 2019. The victim then told Chen to stop and started to gather her clothes. She says that Chen opened his wallet at this point to display a wad of cash, which the victim believes to have been an attempt to bribe her to not go to the police.

Juicing is all the rage these days, with claims that drinking juice extracted from fruits and vegetables will cure health problems, detoxify the body and help with weight loss. Juicing has also been promoted as a great way for people who struggle to eat enough fruits and vegetables to get the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals their bodies need.
According to the latest nutrition survey from the Centers for Disease Control, only 33 percent of Americans eat the recommended two or more servings of fruit each day, and only 26 percent of Americans eat three or more servings of vegetables. Juicing seems like a great way to improve intake, especially for those who don't like the taste and texture of fruit and vegetables.
So, the question you're probably asking – should I be juicing? Is it that healthy? In small amounts, it can help add essential nutrients to your diet. Doing it too often, however, isn't a good strategy for weight loss or detoxification.

Excellent. I halved the recipe and still had plenty for one chicken breast. This is delicious. The chicken had an awesome flavor. I used sriracha sauce in place of the pepper sauce. I highly recommend this recipe.Volunteer Field Editor

This recipe is awesome. I made it to the letter. It came out tender, juicy and delicious. After cutting meat from the bone we spooned the sauce over the meat. Definately a keeper in our kitchen. Thanks George, great recipe.
Jun 18, 2013
I noted that the first reviewer said this made a lot of sauce and it looked like it would make a lot to me too, so I halved the sauce recipe. While eating the chicken, my husband said, "The sauce is good, but there's not enough of it." lol
Nov 15, 2010
My kids LOVED this, and it was really very easy to make. Next time I'll add in more chicken pieces, as it makes a lot of sauce. With the leftover pieces, I pulled the meat off the bones and tossed it with the sauce for sandwiches the next day. DELISH!

Largemouth bass are one of the most popular types of fish in the United States. You can easily write hundreds of different articles on bass fishing and I will continue to write about the different techniques that you can use to catch bass, but this article will cover the basics of bass fishing and how to catch them through the seasons.
In the spring, you will find these fish moving into the shallows to spawn. In lakes that have crappie, you will know that the bass spawn is coming just after the crappie spawn. Check the local fishing reports and talk to the bait shops to see what's going on with the fishing in your area. If the crappie are spawning, it's about that time to get ready for largemouth bass. While the crappie are spawning, bass will be in pre-spawn and you can catch them in deeper water near the typical spawning grounds. Try fishing deeper water off of points, deeper channels near shallow water. If you remember where the good spawning areas were the previous year, try fishing the deep water that is near these great spawning sites.
Once the spawning begins, you will start seeing bass cruising all along the shorelines and starting to make beds. Some fish will be very picky and others will strike vigorously. The bass that are cruising will usually take a live worm, minnow or leech as well as a variety of lures that mimic these baits. Plastic worms are very effective, small spinners work and many anglers prefer throwing jigs and spinnerbaits. Since you can see these fish, many anglers spend way too much on the inactive fish. Here's a tip to save you some time. Most bass fishermen prefer using lures and if you are in a tournament, you don't have the option of using live bait. If you are willing to use some live bait, get some lively leeches and keep them in the boat. Fish with your preferred fishing lure and if you see bass along the shallows and they won't take your lure, put a live leech on a hook and flip it out there. Don't use a weight. Let the leech free fall and you will get so many more strikes. If the bass that you see doesn't show an interest in your live leech, move on and find more active bass.
You are not going to want to move on, but do it anyways. Go look for the active fish. There will be lots of them protecting their beds and they will usually hit your lure right away. What I like to do is mark my gps with the spots that have less active fish and I will come back to them later, sometimes even at night.
In the summer, bass fishing gets tougher, but you will still be able to catch some fish shallow. There will always be some largemouth bass in shallow water around some type of cover such as docks, weeds, etc. In the summer, many of the bigger bass will be deeper. Try fishing the deep weed edges for more success. My favorite deep water, summer lures are 11 inch plastic worms, deep-diving crankbaits and jigging spoons. If you can get out on the water early in the morning or late in the evening topwater lures work very well in 4 to 12 feet of water along weed edges and other types of cover.
During the fall, you can catch more bass in the shallows, but there will still be some fish deep. You will have the option of catching fish shallow or deep, which does give you some options. Try fishing shallow and deep to see where the best bite is coming from. In the fall, I prefer using big baits. I move away from worms in the fall and throw big spinnerbaits, big jigs, swimbaits and my personal favorite is a live chub in the 6 to 8 inch range. Go big or go home in the fall. I catch more 5 to 7 pound bass in the fall than the spring and I prefer very big baits.
The winter can be tough. If you live far enough south, fishing can be good, but up north it's time to sit inside and watch football or go ice fishing for perch, bluegill, crappie, walleye and pike.

A Northern Irish charity that offers support to people caring for those with disabilities or illness is under investigation by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland because of concerns about its governance and financial controls.
In a statement, the CCNI said it opened a statutory inquiry into Newry & Mourne Carers on 11 July amid allegations of the potential misapplication of charity property.
The statement said the regulator had directed the charity to produce documents and information it needed to carry out the inquiry.
The charity was established in 1987 and, according to its website, aims to provide high-quality support services, information and training to carers, to promote carers' rights and to work with other voluntary, private and statutory agencies to advocate on their behalf.
The CCNI said it would not provide further comment while the inquiry was continuing.
Newry & Mourne Carers did not respond to Third Sector's request for comment.
