Combat Veterans Will 'Walk Off The War' On The Appalachian Trail
The Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) has again partnered with Warrior Hike to provide a group of military veterans the opportunity to "Walk Off The War" along the Appalachian Trail (A.T.). This year's group of veterans began the six-month-long physical challenge on March 17 at Springer Mountain, the southern terminus of the Trail in Georgia.
The "Walk Off The War" Program provides participating combat veterans with equipment and supplies required to complete a thru-hike of one of America's National Scenic Trails; coordinates trail town support in the forms of transportation, food and lodging; and assists veterans with future employment opportunities through partners and sponsors.
"Hiking over 2,000 miles during the course of six months gives a veteran an opportunity to decompress and come to terms with their wartime experiences," said Sean Gobin, Warrior Hike executive director. "The camaraderie that is shared between our combat veterans and the trail town communities helps facilitate their integration back into civilian life."
Veterans hiking the A.T. this year include Scott Brooks-Miller, a Vietnam War veteran and several returning service members from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
The ATC, A.T. maintaining clubs and veterans groups in trail towns will provide the veterans with support services, including lodging, transportation and meals.
"Similar to Earl Shaffer, the first Appalachian Trail thru-hiker, these veterans will have the opportunity to journey along the Appalachian Trail and reconnect with nature and with the American people," said Ron Tipton, executive director and CEO of the ATC. "The Appalachian Trail Conservancy is proud to team up with Warrior Hike to offer this experience to our military veterans."
This year, Warrior Hike has expanded to include end-to-end hikes on the Continental Divide and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trails in addition to the A.T.

ECUADOR – Keith Barron, who owns 53% of the outstanding common shares of Aurania Resources, has agreed to loan the company up to $3 million to support exploration at its 100% owned Los Cities gold project.
The chairman and CEO also participated in the company's rights offering in March that raised $5.25 million. Barron acquired 1.48 million of the 1.95 million shares issued at $2.70 per common share.
The geologist privately co-founded Ecuador gold explorer Aurelian Resources and discovered the Fruta del Norte deposit in 2006. The company was acquired by Kinross Gold in 2008 for $1.2 billion.
Aurania Resources' Lost Cities-Cutucu project is in the eastern foothills of the Andes mountain range in southeastern Ecuador. So far Aurania has 11 targets for gold-silver mineralization, four copper targets and one silver-zinc-lead target.
On April 9, the company announced it had doubled the size of its Kirus copper-silver target to an area measuring 6 km by 3 km, samples from boulders in streams contain up to 12% copper with 166 g/t silver. Follow-up exploration found mineralization of up to 5.1% copper and 70 g/t silver in sporadic outcrops in dense jungle over a 2 km trend northwest of the Kirus magnetic feature.
Kirus is about 6 km from Aurania's Tsenken target, and both are associated with highly magnetic features evident in a geophysical survey the company flew over the Lost Cities project. Both targets have high grade coper and silver in sedimentary rocks over and adjacent to their respective magnetic features.
On April 2, Aurania announced that its team had enlarged the Tsenken target by 6 km and that it has found high grade copper and silver over a 9 km trend. Grab samples from boulders in streams contain up to 7% copper with 70 g/t silver.
In a press release at the time, president Richard Spencer noted that the company's current exploration model is that copper and silver from the porphyry cluster "spread into the enclosing, permeable sedimentary rocks where it was trapped, creating a more or less flat-lying layer of copper-silver-bearing rock."
"This sheet-like target should be relatively simple to drill," he commented. "The potentially larger target presented by the covered porphyry would require much deeper drilling and would be investigated in a later phase of exploration."
Aurania is currently trading at $3.74 per share within a 52-week range of $1.93 and $4.10.
The junior explorer has 28 million common shares outstanding for a market cap of about $105 million.
According its most recent corporate presentation, insiders own 57% of the company's shares.

Shohei Ono returned to the International Judo Federation (IJF) World Championships stage for the first time in four years, with a gold medal in the men's under-73 kilogram category in Tokyo.
Ono, world champion in 2013 and 2015 as well as 2016 Olympic Games champion, only returned to full-time training last year after taking time out to study at university following his Rio triumph.
After completing his dissertation – A Technical Analysis of O-Soto-Gari – he has now won every tournament on his return and is on a 28-fight winning streak, after defeating world number one Rustam Orujov in the final.
Ono had swept his way through the competition and defeated Orujov – who he also beat in the Olympic final – via ippon in little over a minute.
While Ono has had a rocky history – he was stripped of university judo captaincy and banned for 30 days in 2013 after being found to have bullied younger students – he was treated like a hero by the crowd at the Nippon Budokan and is favourite to triumph here again at next year's Olympics.
"It's not easy at all, but this is the host country and everyone expected me to win," he said after the victory.
"It's not easy to come back here with reputations and expectations, but I feel the pressure gives me strength.
"I am pleased to win the World Championship three times, but I am not satisfied yet."
Asked about his return to top level competition after years away, he said: "I don't feel it was like a special competition, I treat all events the same, I prepared in the same way I prepare for every tournament."
When questioned on his technique, he replied: "My O-Soto-Gari is my lethal weapon, I cannot give away my secrets."
Bronze medals went to Azerbaijan's Hidayat Heydarov and Denis Iartcev of Russia.
In the women's under-57kg, Christa Deguchi enjoyed a remarkable homecoming by beating top seed and reigning champion Tsukasa Yoshida in the final.
Second seed Deguchi represented Japan until 2017, when she switched from the country of her birth to Canada – her father's home nation – to have a better chance of fighting at the Olympics.
Despite this, Deguchi was warmly received by the Tokyo crowd, even after defeating home favourite Yoshida in an engrossing encounter.
Yoshida dominated the majority of the fight, pulling Deguchi all over the tatami, however the Canadian pulled a koshi-waza out of the bag to earn her first major IJF Championship gold.
"I'm just surprised – I'm happy, but I feel more surprised," she said.
"Two months ago we had a Grand Prix in Montreal and they were cheering me, but to be in Japan, and fighting a Japanese girl, for Japanese people cheering for me a lot, I didn't expect it would be this big, the noise and sound and cheering.
"I was pretty nervous, I didn't know if I could win, I didn't know what to do.
"For four minutes we were fighting at her pace, I was getting tired, I didn't know what I was doing.
"I won because I couldn't just give her the gold medal.
"The last throw wasn't technical, I just moved, I didn't expect I would do that."
Deguchi's father was at the stadium working as an official photographer – in the post-event press conference she paid tribute to him as "my guardian angel".
Olympic champion Rafaela Silva won bronze for Brazil, while Poland's Julia Kowalczyk also took a podium place.
Tomorrow sees the men's under-81kg and women's under-63kg competitions, with insidethegames providing live coverage of all the action.

will also benefit a broader group of small businesses in western Azerbaijan
by introducing international banking practices," said Bill Schrader, BP's
President of Strategic Performance in Azerbaijan.
"This new project is part of a larger investment and capacity-building
program that IFC and BP have jointly financed and implemented in Azerbaijan
to support micro and small enterprises and to increase the impact of the
BTC pipeline on local firms and suppliers," said Shahbaz Mavaddat, IFC
Director for Southern Europe and Central Asia.
"The grant will allow us to expand more rapidly in the western regions
of Azerbaijan, particularly in areas where local entrepreneurs have limited
access to finance and financial services," said Andrew Pospielovsky, General
Manager of the Micro Finance Bank of Azerbaijan.

It sure is fun and exciting to go on places that you have not seen before. This on the other hand can be exhausting and stressful at the same time if you do not know what you're doing. There are just lots of things that must be taken into consideration. To give you an example, you need to be aware of how to plan your itinerary, find the best deals, which hotels to stay, your transport and so forth.
In an effort to make things look simpler than they look, you've got to take time reading the next tips to ensure that you will not spend beyond your forecasted budget. I strongly advise that you keep on reading to be able to learn more.
Tip number 1. Avoid peak season – a very simple solution to get the best deals both on hotel accommodation and airfare is to travel during off season or low season. Aside from getting unbeatable price on flights and resorts or hotels, there are going to be fewer crowds who will interrupt your sightseeing tours.
Tip number 2. Be flexible on your schedule – indirect flights could take longer to arrive at the destination you wish to be but these flights that have stopovers normally leads to more cost effective trip. Additionally, the day of your flight will create a huge impact on cost of the trip. Oftentimes, the midweek flights are less expensive especially when having a family vacation. This minor change of plan you make is enough to help you save hundreds of dollars.
Tip number 3. Steer clear of high baggage fees – just before you leave the house, it will be wise to weigh your stuff. This simple act will never hurt you and can help you avoid dealing with overinflated charges that comes with exceeding baggage limits.
Tip number 4. Avoid going to sought-after destinations – a simple strategy that could help you to cut on cost is to avoid visiting popular places. So to give you a quick example, European cities are known to be expensive such as Paris but if you know other alternatives to it like Budapest and Athens, you'll see how much money you can spend Being able to learn about this one is enough to help you save money in your trip.
Tip number 5. Book last minute – believe it or not, booking on the last minute could help you snag some serious deals on the travel agency's website. While it is not always advisable, there are lots of cruises and tours that are giving away massive discounts if there are fewer passengers than expected.

Heads up for WordPress Gutenberg; How to get ready for the big change
Most of us do not like change of any kind, but a change of this magnitude may be devastating for some! This change could have many implications for those of us who are expecting the change. For those whom these changes catch off-guard, the surprise could be a nightmare.
If you are reading this article, you know about Gutenberg. The WordPress modern and next level editor that will change the way we build websites in WordPress.
Here we will talk about what will be affected by Gutenberg and how to get ready for it. And if ever having a problem migrating to it, what solutions are available.
What is Gutenberg?
Basically Gutenberg is the new upcoming core editor of WordPress that will change the way of building pages and how they appear in the frontend. It uses block units like components to build posts and pages. Blocks that are reusable as well.
Therefore it has a close relationship with the theme and all the plugins involving in building and customising the site.
What should we expect as a business?
As with any technology upgrade in any industry, enterprise-level businesses simply need to know what changes to expect and plan accordingly.
Generally with WordPress 5 release the customers will get a notification to update to the new exciting editor in the new major release.
Even if they don't do anything we should take all the steps to make sure their websites will work at any stage.
An update is a MANDATORY task to do every time a major release happens. Because it lessens the SECURITY RISKS of using old releases and reduces the problem of compatibility issues with new themes and plugins updates.
Also in a major change at this scale all 3rd party themes and plugins including the old ones will update themselves to the new editor to survive. Therefore the thought of not updating the site is not an option.
Typically more than 90% of sites should work just as before. Especially if they are using reliable page builders and plugins.
But there will be less than 9% of the customers whom had a very custom frontend with different kinds of customisation that might not see their site just as before.
How Gutenberg affects us in technical point of view?
As mentioned above, Gutenberg will be the core editor in WordPress. This means it will replace the old classic editor.
As a result of this transformation :
- Plugins that are used for changing and customising the editor will be affected.
- the theme's compatibility with editor will be affected
What does this change mean?
Eventually if related plugins and theme(s) we used in the site are not compatible with Gutenberg the frontend will not work as expected.
And it all depends on how much those plugins have customised the website's editor and design.
Plugins like Siteorigin page builder , eliminator, Beaver page builder, SEO YOAST are the major plugins that have an instant effect on the page editor. The page builders are the one's that have the most concerns.
Fortunately all these popular page builders are already updating themselves to be compatible with Gutenberg. Siteorigin page builder is supported already and SEO Yoast has integrated itself by working alongside Gutenberg team.
Bu there are sites that might use some 3rd party plugins or old and not updated themes that might crash or not work properly. Here are the solutions.
What are the solutions?
First step is to warn the customers about the notification. And ask them to let us know when they got it so we can update the site for them regarding a major release risk that we want to take care of for them.
Customers updated their site already
After WordPress 5 released there will be customers that have done the update already. Chances are most sites will work fine. But if there were issues with their site, these are the steps to take:
- Update all the plugins to the latest version up to date
- Update the theme to their latest version
- If problem persist then test the site with block test unit plugin for Gutenberg to identify the problem
- If still site does not look as expected install the classic editor and check again. This is a temporary solution though and should be reverted back to Gutenberg after testing.
- If the problem was not identified reinstall Gutenberg and test again. activate all plugins one by one to see which one causes the problem.
- If the identified plugin is not compatible with Gutenberg replace it with another one based on research
The worse case scenario is if the theme is not compatible with Gutenberg. Then we will need to replace it and rebuild the site accordingly.
Otherwise it is very unlikely that we need to rebuild the site. It is the matter of fixing bugs and replacing some plugins that we might find causing the issues.
Customers not updated yet
For those customers not updated their WordPress yet these are the recommended steps:
- Update the theme
- Update all plugins
- Test the site with block test plugin
- Update WordPress and test Gutenberg accordingly
The steps is pretty much the same but with more cautious and care.
As a final note Gutenberg is now in second release candidate and the WordPress team hasn't announced a certain date for WP 5 release. But it will be soon this year. We can try it now as a plugin and get comfortable with it as soon as possible.
Thank you for reading.

Are Eggs Bad for Your Cholesterol?
When it comes to eggs, we get quite a lot of mixed signals. Whether it is about the origins of the chicken or whether the yolk is bad or good for you, this natural life source has been a hot topic of debate. I personally have seen health trends regarding the egg rise and fall several times over the course of two decades, and there is still no solid consensus. The burning questions of today are: Should we eat eggs? What is the best way to prepare an egg? And how does it help or hurt your cholesterol? We are finding out today!
The Purpose of the Egg
The "creation" of the egg was more of an evolutionary advantage than most people realize. Paleontologically speaking, eggs with soft shells for fish and reptiles predate any eggs with hard shells. The earliest evidence of an egg with hard shells is dated at 312 million years ago, for the common ancestor of the modern-day turtle. These hard shells had the natural advantage of being harder for predators to get into the growing embryo. And it helped contain both the necessary water and nutrients for the growing creature inside. This advantage meant that the animals with hard shells no longer had to return to the water to give birth. Also, it gave them the option of living closer to their food source on land, ensuring their survival.
Why are Eggs Food?
Eggs, both hard and soft are considered food for carnivores and omnivores alike. This is because the yolk of the egg contains protein and nutrients that are specifically intended for the growth of the offspring. These nutrients range from minerals like selenium to zinc to vitamins B, K, and E.
The shell also provides a certain amount of calcium for predators and mother alike. Yes, even hens will eat their own eggs if they are running low on calcium and think that their offspring aren't going to survive.
Humans are natural omnivores. If something doesn't poison us, we will eat all sorts of meats, plants, and seeds to our heart's content. Since they do contain a natural source of protein and vitamins our ancient ancestors and those of us today still eat eggs as part of our diet.
There are people who object to eating eggs from a moral standpoint, but there has been quite a lot of dietary confusion on whether or not eggs should be part of our diet at all. This all boils down to our understanding of how eggs affect our cholesterol levels.
How do Eggs affect your Cholesterol?
Eggs do contain a high amount of cholesterol, one egg almost has the daily value of it in our recommended diet. However, in the 80's and 90's when it was in vogue to eat only egg whites for fear of getting a heart attack, they had little understanding of how cholesterol worked. After a bit of research, we found out that the natural cholesterol found in foods do very little to increase the cholesterol in your bloodstream.
The heart attack inducing cholesterol comes from a diet in high amounts of saturated fat and simple sugars, not the natural cholesterol found in eggs and nuts. There are people among the general population that do have a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol in the bloodstream from regular food, but those range from 10-30% of the general population.
So, unless your doctor tells you otherwise, one to three eggs a day are safe in your daily diet.
What is the Best Way to Prepare an Egg?
Well, another blog has the better answer to that one, so I will paraphrase what they listed in the form of a list.
- If you are trying to cut back on calories, choose poached or boiled eggs.
- Eggs go really well with vegetables.
- In general, pasture-raised and organic eggs are thought to be nutritionally superior to caged and conventionally-produced eggs.
- The longer and hotter you cook your eggs, the more nutrients you may lose. Using higher heat for longer may also increase the amount of oxidized cholesterol they contain. This is particularly true of pan frying.
The short answer is that no, for most people, eggs yolks do not raise your cholesterol. They provide protein and important nutrients, and this outweighs the effects of your bloodstream. Just be careful of the quality of eggs that you get and be moderate with how many you eat.

There is no doubting the fact that television has been the primary source of entertainment for several decades, but that is not it's most important purpose, long before live streaming on the internet television brought historical moments directly to our living rooms. I watched live as Jack Ruby shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas, Texas. I sat in awe as I witnessed Neil Armstrong became the first man to step foot on the moon. On January 15, 2009, I tuned into the local news station, NY1 and saw a commercial jet floating in the Hudson River. Unlike the other examples just cited that was a location I have frequently seen looking out an office window. It was such a surreal image, one that I'll always remember. The jet was there because of the incredible skill and ability to act in a situation never anticipated. Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, the pilot of a routine US Airway passenger flight, achieved an emergency landing in the river after the catastrophic failure of both engines. The last time that news station had a live feed to an incident involving a jet crashing was devastating to the nation; this was a moment to rejoice in heroism. As with any film that alleges it depicts real events the historical accuracy as depicted in this movie must be taken with a grain of salt. Lamentably, in this instance, the amount of salt required is significantly more than a grain. Considering the events portrayed here only seven years in the past the audience not to expect greater adherence to the facts. I understand that the filmmaker has to exert some dramatic license to create a narrative that is coherent as well as entertaining. I would think that a pilot landing a rather large passenger jet safely in the middle of the river would carry your sufficient drama but largely unnecessary contrivances we used to drive the plot. The film detailing this remarkable event, 'Sully,' represents a collaboration one of Hollywood's best directors one of their best actors.
Clint Eastwood has been entertaining audiences for over 60 years. As an actor, he conquered such genres as the western, both on television and film, crime drama, and war movies. It is a running joke that every actor wants to be a director, but you have been successful in the transition as Mr. Eastwood. Currently, have over 35 films where he sat in the director's chair. During the segment of his career, he has some Academy Award nominations including the distinction of being the only man ever to be nominated for both best director and best doctor in the same film. Such a remarkable career I was disappointed in the deviation from the truth that became the underlying theme of the movie. From the start of the movie the principal source of drama restriction between the National Transportation Safety Board, NTSB, and Captain Sullenberger. The position of this critical review board was that Captain Sullenberger still had a partially functional engine and could have left him with enough power to return to LaGuardia or make a more traditional landing at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. It was the contention of the Captain and his First Officer Jeff Skiles (Aaron Eckhart) that both engines were completely inoperable and they had neither the time nor momentum to make such a change in a course required for an airport landing.
Within the context of the film the NTSB in reviewing data from the ACARS, the Aircraft Communications Addressing, and Reporting, a data link system between the aircraft and ground stations, indicated that the port engine was still running in idle mode. The destruction of both engines occurred when a flock of Canadian geese crashed into the turbines. Sullenberger and Skiles, obviously with there, having felt the birds hit and the engines fail, both men had decades of experience and never wavered from contradicting the data analysis. It was the contention of the movie that Captain Sullenberger had PTSD, plagued by nightmares that included images of him crashing the plane into a building in Manhattan. Admittedly I did not read the autobiography, 'Highest Duty,' used as the basis for the script so I cannot authoritatively speak to the veracity of this claim. However, it is not unrealistic to accept this as true. Captain Sullenberger was involved in most aspects of the production, and I'm reasonably confident that this plot point received his consent left me baffled as to why he would agree on the depiction of such animosity on the part of the NTSB.
The undisputed facts that included in the movie included the aircraft was an Airbus A320, a medium-size commercial airliner. The bird strike occurred three minutes into the flight at an altitude of 2,800 feet. The eventual recovery of the port engine from the bottom of the Hudson River proved it had been damaged severely and completely inoperable. The board of inquiry conducted several simulations testing the hypothesis that the plane was able to either return LaGuardia or safely make it to Teterboro. Captain Sullenberger demanded that he be allowed to watch the simulations, which was within his rights and granted. According to the simulations, you would've been able to land even without power safely. Captain Sullenberger made note that there were several deficiencies in the construction of those simulations. The pilot standing in for Sullenberger and Skiles allowed practicing the procedures in numerous times before the actual simulation performed and were acutely aware of the nature of the emergency. They also acted immediately, allowing no time for initial shock and assessment of the situation. As a concession, the board of inquiry allowed for the inclusion of a 35-second. When the simulations rerun attempts, the land that is the airport resulted in fatal crashes. If the original finding of pilot error was allowed to stand Captain Sullenberger loses reputation, his career or to an immediate halt.
The one portion of the film that unquestionably adheres to the facts was a depiction of the actual landing and rescue. Police and fire units were dispatched immediately to the scene, and commuter ferry boats were dispatched to pick up the survivors. It was an incredibly cold day in immersion for anything more than a few minutes would have been lethal. The men and women among the respondents work with incredible speed and cooperation to rescue every one of the survivors. Before Captain Sullenberger would leave the aircraft, you made a personal check throughout the entire cabin to make certain that no one had the left behind. Even as he was being taken array to the hospital is an only concern was the count of the survivors. He would consider any assistance to himself until he heard the number, 155, the total complement of passengers and crew. What are the most poignant moments of the film is the expression on Tom Hanks face as he portrayed the relief and Captain Sullenberger upon hearing the news that everyone lived. Very few actors could have done justice to either the role of the man himself as did Tom Hanks. Mr. Hanks has not only acceptable experience in playing at an eclectic range of characters but he is specifically well-versed in taking on roles depicting actual individuals. Presentation of Captain Sullenberger was heartfelt and amazingly stirring. Mr. Hanks has a talent for bringing out the finest qualities of a regular human being placed under the most horrendous of circumstances. Other examples of this ability are scan be found in 'Apollo 13' and 'Captain Phillips.'
This film is the shortest ever made by Clint Eastwood with a running time of only 96 minutes. His typical directorial style usually allows for the gradual release of exposition and greater time allotted to character development. As a concession to the brevity of the film, the only character fully developed was that of Captain Sullenberger. His wife, Lorraine (Laura Linney) was relegated to a marginalized character never actually sharing screen time with her husband. Another talented actress not given the proper showcase was space Anna Gunn portrayed Elizabeth Davis, chairperson of the proceedings. It is a tribute to their professionalism that they would agree to play such underdeveloped characters. Still, the sacrifice of my property utilizing the talents is not in vain. Mr. Eastwood created a tightly edited, highly efficient form of storytelling. You move directly into the points that were to be made giving the audience solid, albeit misleading entertainment.

'A' Team Out Of Luck
The 'A' team had a tough match last night against Holmes Chapel Rooks. We were without both Ray and Rob but put up a terrific before going down by 3-2. Glyn got us off to a good start with a win on board 4. This was followed by draws on boards 2 and 5 for Kasian and Derek. Neal walked into a checkmate on board 3, leaving me needing something out of my game on board 1. This had looked like a draw all evening but my opponent offered a Rook sacrifice which I countered with a Rook sacrifice of my own. After the dust had settled I found myself the exchange down but the game still looked drawn. Unfortunately I was in terrible time trouble and managed to find the moves to lose me the game.

VICTORVILLE — There won't be a 45th annual Cinco de Mayo Family Festival this year after organizers decided to cancel the popular cultural-themed event.
Hosted by the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and held at Victor Valley College, the annual fiesta celebrates Mexican culture and commemorates the Mexican Army's unlikely victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.
The popular all-day event that celebrates Mexican culture and has drawn hundreds of visitors has included dancers, arts, crafts, kids activities, food, vendor booths and plenty of fun over the years.
"We decided to take the year off to re-evaluate the event, and to make next year's Cinco de Mayo Festival bigger and better," Chamber chairman Eric Camarena told the Daily Press. "We'd like to bring in new partners, balance out the family aspect of the festival and try to bring in the younger generation."
Camarena said he'd like to keep the festival at VVC, where the school's ASB club has manned the kid's zone, complete with bounce houses, face painting and carnival style games.
Felicia Santos of Hesperia voiced her disappointment that this year's Cinco de Mayo Festival had been canceled, adding that the "family tradition" was something her children looked forward to.
Over the years, the family festival has also included entertainment by the VVC Dancers, Danza Azteca, Coatlaxupe, Mariachi Aguila Real, Flores Del Desierto and Latin Express.
"My kids loved the kid's zone, but they really loved the Folklorico dancers," Santos said. "My little ones would stand next to them and try to follow their dance moves."
Other Cinco de Mayo events:
Cinco de Mayo Political Fiesta: Hosted by Philben Williams with the International Chambers of Commerce and New Vision Radio, the event invites the public to meet candidates Rita Ramirez for Congress 8th District, Socorro Cisneros for the 33rd Assembly District and John Lira for Victorville City Council.

The Running World Has a New Cannabis-Sponsored Athlete
The South Lake Tahoe resident and cannabis activist has a wildly impressive record. David started racing in 2012 with zero training, debuting during a ...
In 2017, KYND Cannabis Company was the first marijuana distributor in northern Nevada with a professional athlete-turned-cannabis-ambassador – world-renowned professional cyclocross rider Teal Stetson-Lee. Less than a year later, the company has announced its second sponsorship with local short-distance runner David Barbano.
The South Lake Tahoe resident and cannabis activist has a wildly impressive record. David started racing in 2012 with zero training, debuting during a grueling seven-miler with a 3,000-foot vertical climb. Two weeks later, he won his first 5k, and in the six years since, David has entered back-to-back races nearly every month. In 2017, he had seven wins alone and he hasn't been off the podium in about a year.
Both KYND Cannabis Company and its newest athlete ambassador are excited to expand the conversation around cannabis by highlighting the benefits for athletes and outdoor recreation enthusiasts. While cannabis use in the professional athlete circuit is still not fully approved, medical professionals recognize the healing benefits of the medicine.
Between cannabis for race prep and recovery and David's arduous training at an altitude of more than 6,000 feet, the 50-year-old athlete is establishing himself as someone worth watching. Moreover, as an ardent supporter of the wonders of cannabis, he's worth listening to as well.
"Cannabis has many redeeming qualities that aid in anti-inflammatory and pain reduction measures for ailments across the board," said Dr. Sean Devlin, chief physician at the Washoe Wellness Center and co-owner of KYND. "This benefit can be used for chronic pain or sore muscles after an excruciating sports competition."
"There are so many people who just need to understand what it can do," said David. "I want to make that first step to help generations to come. KYND offers products that have incredible value for improving people's quality of life, which aligns with my personal values."
The cannabis industry is rapidly changing, both medically and recreationally, on local and national levels. Having the right voices sharing the message of responsible use is an integral part of KYND's mission.
About Kynd Cannabis Company
Kynd Cannabis Company boasts a team of seasoned industry professionals with over 70 years of combined cultivation and production experience. Kynd cultivates flowers that champion the healing power of medical cannabis and has been tailoring high-potency strains for over a decade. The company's leading cannabis extraction-based product line has been specifically developed to meet the widest variety of patient and customer needs.

David Coulthard has won the Race of Champions for a second time after sealing victory at Riyadh's King Fahd International Stadium in Saudi Arabia.
Coulthard's victory followed Team Germany's win in the ROC Nations Cup the previous night, courtesy of Rene Rast and Timo Bernhard.
Fending off two-time World RallyCross champ Petter Solberg, Coulthard took out the Grand Final of the event, having cruised through the group stage and dispatched of Tom Kristensen in the semi-final.
"I had to work hard out there and my heart is beating hard now! So thanks to Petter for a great race," Coulthard said.
"He's a great sport and a great champion.
"When I went out of the ROC Nations Cup yesterday after winning just one race out of three my son switched off the TV because he thought 'Daddy's too old' so I'm delighted to show him experience can be a good thing too…
"Today I pushed hard but it's also about being clean. I touched the wall once over the course of the day but other than that I kept it on the track."
Solberg progressed into the final by taking three wins in the group stage to top Group D, continuing his march into the final where he was ultimately defeated by Coulthard.
It marked Coulthard's second ROC success, having taken the crown in 2014 in Barbados, and reached the Grand Final at Wembley in 2008 when he was pipped by Sébastien Loeb.

Candian Artist Joseph Shabason was recently on the Kreative Kontrol podcast. During the show, Shabason said he just finished scoring a documentary about Kenny Omega for HBO. Shabason was tight-lipped about the release date, but said it can be expected in 2019. January is a big month for HBO, as it is when their major shows usually return, and likely will be when they announce their slate of documentaries for 2019.

Fear is the barrier between success and failure. It prevents people from reaching their goals. People fear everything. Fear cripples people's ideas. Fear keeps people in a mental prison forever.
What is Fear? Where is fear from? Why do we fear the things we fear? What is the purpose of fear? How can we cure fear? Is it really possible to get rid of fear? If not, how can we live with fear?
According to Zig Ziglar, fear has two meanings: "Forget Everything And Run," OR "Face Everything And Rise."
So let's look at some of things that prevent people from reaching their full potential. As I said earlier, people fear everything, including the following:
- People fear failure.
- People fear success.
- People fear confrontation.
- People fear rejection.
- People fear commitment.
- People fear taking responsibility.
- People fear other people (fear of people).
- People fear making decisions.
- People fear making any changes in life.
- People fear embarrassment.
- People fear starting their own business.
- People fear going to school (they fear learning new things).
Thanks to psychologists. They have fancy names for these fears. They call them "phobia."
How does fear affect us?
Fear stops people from doing what they are destined to do in life. It prevents them from reaching their goals. It prevents them from major achievements. For example, people would prefer to be absent from a major meeting than to face the crowd. Fear makes people call in sick from work, because they don't want to meet with the new customer, or they don't want to take on the new assignment. It makes people feel REALLY sick. Fear prevents people from doing a major corporate or personal presentation. Because they cannot stand the crowd. Fear keeps people in isolation. It prevents them from reaching out to their neighbor. It prevents them from enjoying their lives. The question is, "How can we live with fear?"
It is important for us to understand that "fear is real". if we want to conquer fear, then we should do the following:
- We should understand where the fear is coming from.
- We should take action. That is, we should confront fear. We should face fear. Don't just sit back and expect your fear to disappear-it is not going anywhere.
- We should always prepare for new situations.
That been said, let's take a look at what experts have said about fear:
There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.–
Paulo Coelho, Brazilian novelist
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.– Paulo Coelho, Brazilian novelist
A man who is not afraid is not aggressive; a man who has no sense of fear of any kind is really a free man, a peaceful man.–
Jiddu Krishnamurti, philosopher
Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears.–
Les Brown
Everything that you have ever wanted is on the other side of fear.–
George Addair
A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.–
Michel de Montaigne, philosopher
Whenever there is fear, you will get wrong number.–
W. Edwards Deming, engineer
It's the perpetual dread of fear, the fear of fear, that shapes the face of a brave man.–
George Bernanos, author
The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.–
Elbert Hubbard, writer
Laughter is poison to fear.– Alan Rickman, actor
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.– Bertrand Russell, philosopher, historian
Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear.–
B. Spinoza, philosopher
The oldest and strongest emotions of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.–
H.P. Lovecraft

This year-end, we all look forward to a good break, releasing tension and work pressure of recent months. A major cause of our fatigue and stress is the number of decisions that we have to make, estimated at seventy per day according to a recent study by Columbia University.
As Barry Schwartz, American professor of societal theory and social action at Swarthmore College, highlighted "every decision has a cognitive cost" and when the number of choices to make increases, it can lead to a "fatigue decision" or even worse "an analysis paralysis". The hardest part is probably these decisions' domino effect. Example: "What about organising a team-building for my team? Yes but what is the suitable date? Which provider would be the best for it? Near by or to a more exotic place? Do I incorporate a theme for my training's reflection? And which one?" In these situations of "decision fatigue," our mind will look for the easiest: the non-choice. But avoiding decisions is also a choice. The choice of doing nothing and leave things as they are even if it does not suit us.
So if you want to move forward in either your professional or personal life you need to make decisions but also being able of letting go for minor things.
Hyper choice has become a selling argument for brands such as Starbucks proposing 85.000 coffee combinations. But is this hyper choice limitless? Hasn't it reached its tipping point, creating anxiety instead of making life easier?
Take for example clothing or food. Major leaders of our time have found tricks to simplify the process of decision on these aspects: Barrack Obama as Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg confessed does always dress the same way to "avoid having to ask questions" and therefore "concentrate decision-making power on fundamental issues". Perhaps it is not by chance that Steve Jobs wore only jeans and New Balance and whether Angela Merkel has the same jacket in 30 different colours.
Some restaurants, built their concept on the idea of limited choice. So "Red", in Amsterdam offers beef or lobster only, combining top quality and restricted choice. This is also what pushes you to the comfortable daily set menu choice.
My advice to undertake this detox decision in late 2015:
1- Find daily life areas where you can install habits that liberate you from recurrent decision-making.
2- Kindly refuse making decision for the others. Some people are skilled at loading you with decisions: "You always have good intuition, what shall I do?" Up to you to return: "Both work for me, take what makes you happy".
3- Rest on those who worship making decisions for others. So, let your sister-in-law (if it makes her happy) decide on the Christmas table plan and your brother on the Christmas present for your parents. Cut down choices you make, leaving your brain free for those decisions that are really worth your attention.
4- Reject FOMO! "Fear of missing out" is what pushes you to explore endless possibilities, anxious of not being aware of the latest trend. According to Dr. Schwartz, "trying to make the best choice is condemning oneself to be eternally unsatisfied."
5- Sort & clear your wardrobe
6- Accept choices that go against rationale, like enjoying a sweet gastronomic treat. Good news is that study made by Florida State University researchers shows that glucose level in your blood impacts your confidence and encourages your strategic thinking.

Jimmy's Monticello Park Rehab
336 North Drive, San Antonio, TX 78201 - $199,000.00
What's so great about Monticello Park?
First of all, the former mayor of San Antonio, Ed Garza, lives here. I work on Broadway and Ninth St. downtown and it takes me a grand total of 4 minutes to get to my office from this neighborhood. Monticello is a historical district which makes it very appealing to older residents of the city who want to live close to downtown but in a very prestigious area. This is a prime area for investors to take houses that are falling apart and remodel them into something great for a home buyer who loves the area but wants something with a little bit more modern feel. I believe this property is hitting the market at $199,000 but you may want to check with the listing agent for more information at:

I'm a huge fan of flagstone on the exterior of houses. I've never done it during a rehab because it's fairly expensive for my pockets but if you happen to find a house that has already had it installed you've certainly got a huge selling point.
All original hard wood floors that have be refinished, a definite plus. Jimmy also replaced all the windows (yikes! I know that's expensive, I've had to do it) and finished the living area out with some legitimate crown molding.
To add some counter space to the kitchen he also incorporated this movable island. This house actually has a lot of light coming in it, despite that I took these pictures at 11 am, which allows the dark granite counter tops to really stand out against the light colors of the walls, back splash, and cabinets
You can't see it too well in this picture but the top of the enclosure for the shower is nicely rounded. I can't remember if it was originally like that or if Jimmy made that himself.... But either way he finished it out nicely with some good looking tile that compliments the paint of the walls and the house as a whole.
This picture of the master bedroom gives you an idea of just how much light comes in through the larger windows that were installed. Two pictures down you can see that these French doors lead nicely out to wooden deck.
One of the other bedrooms.
The posterior of the house. Nice wooden deck able to host a decent sized BBQ, as all Texan's know is a requirement for a house of any size, shape, or form.
This is perhaps one of my favorite features of the house so I'm going to spend a little time talking about it. In Monticello as well as Monte Vista and King Williams it is very common to see a garage converted into a mother-in-law's quarters, or as I more commonly refer to it, a teenagers quarters. The garage does house one vehicle comfortably but also has a two car car port in decent shape. The "teenager's quarters" is one bedroom, one bath separate unit with a fully functioning kitchen. This is perfect for house guests or relatives. This unit was actually rented out for $450 a month before Jimmy bought this house! If you had a small family and didn't have an immediate use for this space you could easily shave a hefty portion off your mortgage OR pay for your property taxes and insurance for the year - if you bought in cash.

It occurred to me the other day that I don't actually know all that much about the bible.
Dont get me wrong, I was a very dedicated and studious Jehovah's Witness and I studied the bible every day - or so I thought. I have now realised that during the time I spent in that religion I didn't study the bible - I studied Jehovah's Witness theology. I saw the bible and religious history through the preconceived ideas of this organisation. If someone was to ask me to explain one by one the teachings of Jehovahs witnesses with biblical support I could easily do it, quoting multitudes of verses. But if someone was to ask me about what a certain book of the bible teaches, the time period it was written in, the people who it was given to, the themes contained within, etc I wouldn't stand a chance.
This brings me to my subject title - the book of Jeremiah. I have no idea about what this book is about. I never used it on the platform or in my preaching, can hardly ever remembering it being used at the meetings, and so decided last night, that now I am free of watchtower clutches, to read it and see what it says fro myself.
So how would I summarise the book of Jeremiah?
It is a long, long, long, boring book, filled with nothing but Gods judgement and denunciations against Israel and Judah, and all the nations from Babylon to Egypt. That is all there is in Jeremiah. Gods anger against the people of the land.
Now I used to believe that the bible essentially came from God. When I went on field service I used to say to people that if you believe it's the word of God why would you not want to read it? This has come from the God who made the whole universe, you should be enthralled by it. Not only that by if God gave me a book he had wrote I would expect to read some amazing things.
What a disappointment the book of Jeremiah proved to be in that regard. 52 chapters of God saying he wants to destroy everyone. I had to pinch myself so many times to keep myself awake. Has this really come from God? Is this really what he wanted to include in the bible for my instruction? Did this fill me with awe and wonderment about my great God?
I'm getting off the point. I wanted to share with you guys the highlights of Jeremiah that I found of interest to me. There is not many. As I said, the whole book is God telling Jeremiah to tell all Israel, Judah and surrounding nations they will be destroyed. That really is it. No joke. But here are my highlights.
Jeremiah 8:8. "How can you say we have the law of Jehovah? For in fact the lying stylus of the scribes have been used only for falsehoods." How interesting to note here that in Jeremiah's day the law of Jehovah had been falsified so much. How long had this been going on for? Can we really trust the law of Jehovah that we have received today as recorded I'm the bible when the falsifying of the law of Jehovah seemed common place?
Jeremiah 10:12. This verse describes God creating the earth and heavens. Of course no mention of Jesus being used to create it. This is a thought becoming more apparent to me. Jesus was there fit at the beginning. According to JW belief God created Jesus first and spent years together before creating anything else. Then God uses Jesus to create everything in the heavens and in the earth. we were always given the impression of just how important Jesus was, before his death and after it. Yet the Old Testament and the Israelite religion is completely silent on the matter of Jesus. Even the Angel Gabriel is more well known than gods first creation, his son, Jesus.
Jeremiah 10:23-25 Jeremiah here pleads with God not to destroy his people. It reminded me of Abraham pleading with God not to destroy sodom and Gomorrah I find it amazing how imperfect humans have to plead with God for him to to show love and mercy. An imperfect man like Jeremiah showed more compassion and love than did God despite his very being being love as taught in the gospel of John - God is love. Would you not expect a God of love who is perfect to plead the case for love and compassion to an imperfect human who wants people destroyed instead of the other way around? In fact, God actually tells Jeremiah in chapter 7:16 to not "pray for them, do not offer s prayer or plead with me in their behalf." What a far cry this is from turn the othe cheek and to love your enemies and to pray for those persecuting you. What a difference we have here. In fact, later on in chapter 11 verse 20, after Jeremiah received some persecution he know agrees with jeovah to destroy the lot of them! Is this really the message God wants me to adopt? Is this really what he want to teach me?
Jeremiah 13:14 - "I will smash them against each other, fathers and sons alike." By this point after reading 13 chapters of how God is going to kil everyone you become numb to it. God is vengeful, I get it. He wants to Destroy everyone, I get it. But it's the language that God uses. In this case he says he will smash family members against each other. Is it not enough to say I will destroy you all if you don't repent? But describing exactly how you will do it to fine detail, doesn't this show someone who loves violence? Who seems to take delight in thinking and devising ways to punish his people? A God of love?
Jeremiah 26:20-23. poor Urijah. He, like Jeremiah was a prophet from God preaching gods judgment. This message of judgment and destruction was not easy. But God assured Jeremiah that he would come to no harm. But what about Urijah? Because of his judgment message the people had him killed. Where was God? That man never expected to be a prophet. But God chose him like he chose Jeremiah. But God promised Jeremiah he would be kept safe. Why didn't God keep Urijah safe? Can he only keep one person safe at any one time? Maybe Jeremiah was to busy getting into trouble that Urijah went ignored? You would expect at the very least if God chose you to prophecy a judgment message that you would be kept safe, especially when he keeps other people safe. What did Jeremiah have that Urijah didn't have? Why the inequality? The message I got from this was don't accept an assignment from God unless he promises you assurance that he will keep you safe.
Jeremiah 14:13-16. Prophets. There were two types. The ones sent from God, like Jeremiah, true prophets, and the false prophets. The one is preaching judgment and destruction. The other is teaching peace and security. Both claim to be from the true God. Now, imagine for the moment you are an Israelite. A prophet comes up to you. He says he is from the true God and that you have sinned and need to repent or you will be destroyed. Another prophet come to you and says he is also from the true God. He has seen your deeds and ha sort.aimed good things for you. Now, who do you believe? They can't both me true as their messages conflict. Only one is true and one is false. How could you tell the difference? First off, God has never spoken to you personally. So maybe you are sceptical to begin with in the belief of a God. But two people come to you saying that God gave them a message which is meant for you. Wouldn't you question why God gave them this message instead of giving it directly to you? God is all powerful and could easily give the message to the person it is intended to. But also you would find it made that people were hearing from God. Joseph smith, the founder of the ,after day saints, the Mormons, proclaimed that God sent to him an angel and gave him golden tablets. God apparently used him as a prophet. Yet how many of you reading this believes that this actually happened? How many of you have said instead that he was nuts. Would you, as the imaginary Israelite not think similarly at the time of Jeremiah?
But there is a way, biblically, to distinguish between a true and false prophet. Deuteronomy 18:20-22 gives us the answer. It says that if the word the prophet says doesn't come true then it hasn't come from God. So the way to tell if a prophet is true is to wait for the outcome. Think about how stupid that it is. There is no way of telling who the true and false prophet is until you wait for their message to come true or not. In the meantime there is no way of telling. If you had to make a choice before the outcome happened the there is a 50% chance of believing in the wrong prophet and thus receives gods judgement. Imagine again being an Israelite in jeremiahs time. The Babylonians have just chained you up to take you into exile. Oh yeah! Turns out Jeremiah was the true prophet after all. So I do need to repent and change my ways - oops to late now! If you have to wait for the outcome to know for certain who is a true prophet and who is a false prophet it could cost you your life. Does this not seem unfair? Could not God make it more obvious which prophet is true or not? Especially if time is needed for repentance to be made in order to avoid destruction? If you decided to chose between the two prophets what would God think to your listening to the wrong one? Is it really your Fault? Jeremiah 25:3 mentions that Jeremiah had been prophesying destruction for 23 years. 23 years! And during that time his message hadn't materialised. Imagine if you were 20 years old and you heard this message of destruction. You the have a child. During those next 23 years the child grows up and has a child of its own whilst Jeremiah continues to proclaim his message. Would you not think he was a false prophet as he has been prophecying for so long with no fulfilment?
Clearly, the biblical identification of a false and true p roper leaves a lot to be desired. And this way of identification apparently comes from our great and wonderful God can create the intricacies of atoms to galaxies yet cannot give mankind a better way of identifying false prophets?
Jeremiah 31:15. "Rachel is weeping for her sons". Yes we know this well. We read in Matthew of the slaughter of all young boys under the age of two. The writer of Matthew in chapter two, goes on to say that the scripture of Jeremiah of Rachel weeping for her children is fulfilled in that day. Really? Really?! This has to be one of the biggest misuse of scripture which has been used in order to provide Old Testament support to Jesus being the messiah. Read the context of Jeremiah 31. The whole nation of Israel and Judah have been destroyed and taken captive. They are now in Babylon. The symbolic Rachel is indeed at that time weeping for her children for they are captives. But then! In the very next verse God says "stop weeping! They will return!" God then promises they will return to their homeland and enjoy blessings. Did this happen - yes! They were set free after Babylon was destroyed and returned to their homeland. Rachel wept no more. Why on earth did the writer of Matthew believe this is a prophecy for the first century in regard to the death of children under the age of two? Even if this scripture was meant to be fulfilled in Jesus day, what about the part which says that Rachel needs to stop crying for they will return to their homeland? How was this part fulfilled in Jesus day? We're these children returned by the soldiers somehow? Were they resurrected by God or Jesus? No. They did not return. Why take one part of this prophecy and apply in hundreds of years later and not take the other part? This is a first century example of Old Testament scripture being taken out of context to try and support a different theology. I could do that. I could claim to be the messiah and pick random verses all over the Old Testament that I could fulfill. Here's one for you, in the same chapter of this Rachel prophecy, 31:30 - any man eating sour grapes will have his teeth set on edge. I will now go out and find some sour grapes and set my teeth on edge and then claim to have fulfilled scripture and so I must be a prophet or if not the messiah himself! Can you see how ridiculous this concept is?
This concludes my highlights of Jeremiah. This post was way longer than I ever intended. This has also given me an opportunity to reflect on what I have read to make sure I remember these points for future reference. If you have stuck with this post and read it in its entirety then I applaud you! Don't think I could have done the same. 😀
