Daily Fishing and Outdoor Report
(Some info on sunken boat further below, via http://thesandpaper.villagesoup.com)
So, I'm out all day looking to photograph an owl and nothing ... get back to the parking lot and ...
Below: why it's best to have a spotter even when doing a simple Facebook instructional video ...
Boy, I would have made a fool of myself sitting on this chair ...
Tuesday, November 29, 2016: Hey, why not end November on a wet note? We couldn't have asked for a prettier looking month. Now to allow the skies to make what will likely be a fairly feeble effort to chip away at the rainfall deficit we've seen for months on end. It'll take more than today's sky spurt to get creeks running right.
The south winds have really kicked in, honking at a steady 25 mph. Waves to eight feet have been reported at the nearshore buoys. The beachline is seeing breaking waves closer to six feet. Tomorrow will hold onto south winds to 30 mph. Winds will honk offshore starting tomorrow night.
Nearby ocean buoys are reports water temps in the mid-50s. That's strangely high.
I have to think there's going to be some insane erosion cliffs (cutways) along the beach so if you're buggying the sands, stay highly alert near the water.
I'll be buggying Holgate midday. There is surely some ugly erosion since the south end doesn't take south winds well. They chew things up something awful.
For those up to the challenge, there should be bigger bass in the swash through tomorrow. Fishing south winds is best done with bait. If plugging, the largest and brightest Dannys finally get to shine. They don't have to be cast out very far, just fish them deeply. I have to think BL end will offer a 50-pounder during this blow.
Use the biggest custom plugs you got. Tail hair helps.
I want to put in this Joe H. report, though conditions have greatly changed from the laid-back weather he was fishing Monday evening.
(Monday, Nov. 28) "Very good plugging today from Harvey Cedars to North Beach right before dark today. Had about 10-12 fish in the 25-33" range. More than half were keepers. Released them all. They wanted wood ... swimmers and pencils. White shads worked, too."
Still, those stripers are likely still in the system, eating crabs. I'm convinced one of the draws of side-ass south winds this time of year are slow crabs uncovered by wave action. Every study done on stripers put crabs as the Number One foodstuff, accounting for opportunistic dining on fin forage in the fall.
Below: Throughout life, a Jersey striper likely eats hundreds of these shelled goodies for every finfish.
Oddly, of these, only the mantis shrimp and shedding lady crabs work as bass bait ... and even then they're not overly effective. that great. I have caught smaller bass on sandcrabs being used to fish for tog -- back when we used to have jetties. However, when I used them away from the rocks, fished off pompano rigs, nothing ... though, even between jetties, I'd get an occasional tog, likely moving from jetty to jetty.
Here's what small information The SandPaper could get about the boat sinking in BL. It was a smaller vessel than I first thought -- though I'm sure it was a painful loss to the owner. Sorry, Cap.
A smaller craft at the Barnegat Light Yacht Basin sank and burned early Monday morning. New Jersey State Marine Police were still investigating the cause the next day, but said "it doesn't appear to be suspicious."
State police from the Point Pleasant station were dispatched at 4:45 a.m. Monday.
"The boat was engulfed; it was completely damaged," said Trooper Alejandro Goez. "Nobody was injured."
The boat was registered to John Selover, who could not be reached for comment. Sources at Viking Village commercial dock said the boat had just been purchased and had not been named.
"It burned up right to the waterline in the middle of the night; nobody saw it," said Mayor Kirk Larson, a fishing fleet owner at Viking Village. "By the time the fire company got there, there was just 6 inches stuck out of the water."
"There was some fuel in the water; it was boomed and contained" by the U.S. Coast Guard, Goez said.
A Coast Guard representative said Monday that the Coast Guard was not initially called to the scene, "but we did have the marine science tech come down from Sector Philadelphia."
"The boat got removed and is at the commercial dock," Goez said.
An investigation by the state police was still ongoing late Monday afternoon, and no further update was obtained by press time Tuesday. —M.S.
So, I'm walking up to my friend's apartment and ... Uh, I'll come back later.

Marathas get 16 per cent quota, existing categories remain
Both houses pass the Bill unanimously but a concern whether the new law will face legal scrutiny remains
After a hullabaloo in both the houses over the past two weeks, the Maharashtra Legislature passed a Bill on Thursday to grant the distressed Maratha community, a 16% quota in jobs and education in a separate category, without debate and opposition.
The Maratha reservation will be in addition to the existing cap of 50% so the right of other backward communities isn't affected. The law will come into force immediately after the governor ratifies it in a couple of days, sources said.
The Bill and Action Taken Report (ATR) on the State Backward Class Commission's recommendations was tabled by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in the legislature on Thursday, a day before the winter session's culmination on Friday. The Act is called the Maharashtra State Reservation (of seats for admission in educational institutes in the state and for appointments in the public services and posts under the state) for Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) Act, 2018.
Though this ended the anxiety in the politically dominant Maratha community that has been protesting for the quota for the past 40 years, a concern whether the new law would pass legal scrutiny remained. Many from the non-Maratha community have threatened to challenge the quota in the court. A legal challenge in 2014 had the previous government's decision scrapped by the Bombay High Court.
Reasons for the quota
Explaining the extraordinary circumstances for crossing the 50% limit for reservation, the Act says in detail why it has given Marathas a 16% quota, in addition to the existing reservation, based on the quantifiable data and its consequential entitlements to the constitutional reservation benefits.
The Act and ATR say Marathas constitute 30% of the state's population but most are educationally, economically and socially backward. The survey gave the community 21.5 marks out of the maximum 25 while recommending a 16% quota. The Act further says representation of Marathas in the state public employment in the higher grade of A, B, C and D is found to be inadequate not only as a proportion of their state population share (30%) but also because of inadequacy in the number of graduates which is the minimum qualification for these posts. The community scored a low of 8 out of 25 marks for determining the educational backwardness. There are 13.42% illiterates, 35.31% primary educated, 43.79% HSC and SSC, 6.71% under/post graduates and 0.77% technical and professional qualified.
Around 76.86 families rely solely on agriculture and agricultural labour for their livelihood. Only 6% Marathas are in government and semi-government services. Women in the community are most backward as 88.81% of them are involved in physical labour to earn their livelihood.
Around 93% families have an annual income of Rs 1 lakh which is much below the average income of middle class families. The BPL families (annual income less than Rs 50,000) are much higher (37.28%) against the state average of 24.2%.
Contrary to assumption that Marathas are landlords, the Act says the community's 71% are landless and marginal farmers (land ownership of less than 2 acres). Farmers holding about 10 acres of land are only 2.7%.
Backward till 1952, excluded without reason
The Marathas have suffered the most for not allowing the breach of 50% reservation limit on one hand, and on the other, being tagged with the Forward Class of citizens to face an unequal competition with them. They, in fact, had been included in the backward category before the independence, and till year 1952, were being included in intermediate caste category, an old version of the new incarnation of SEBC.
Most of the other caste groups then included in the intermediate caste category along with Marathas, or even those who did not find a place in the intermediate caste category then are now in the list of backward classes. The Marathas had been excluded without any reason and tagged with Forward Class Citizens to face a stiff unequal competition.

The new project, called PlasticRoad, was developed by the Dutch construction firm VolkerWessels and uses only recycled materials for the production of road sections, which can be prefabricated. And if you think the idea could only be adopted in colder countries, the company guarantees that the material withstands higher temperatures of up to 80°C.
Among the many benefits of PlasticRoad are requiring less maintenance and having greater durability of up to three times that of asphalt. It's construction would also be much faster, taking weeks instead of months to be finished.
The city of Rotterdam has already shown interest in the project and offered a kind of laboratory for the PlasticRoad be tested. Jaap Peters, from the city council's engineering bureau, said: "We're very positive towards the developments around PlasticRoad. Rotterdam is a city that is open to experiments and innovative adaptations in practice. We have a 'street lab' available where innovations like this can be tested."
"It's still an idea on paper at the moment," VolkerWessels' Rolf Mars told The Guardian. "The next stage is to build it and test it in a laboratory to make sure it's safe in wet and slippery conditions and so on. We're looking for partners who want to collaborate on a pilot – as well as manufacturers in the plastics industry, we're thinking of the recycling sector, universities and other knowledge institutions."
"Rotterdam is a very innovative city and has embraced the idea," added Mars. "It fits very well within its sustainability policy and it has said it is keen to work on a pilot."
Another benefit is that the mentioned roads are hollow, which creates room for power cables and utility pipelines below the surface. Although the idea is still a concept, VolkerWessels expects to finish the first fully paved public road with recycled plastic within three years.
Presently several state governments have also started using this technology. Dimapur in Nagaland has roads made of bitumen polymer (plastic waste). The Himachal Pradesh government has set a target of constructing 150-km long stretch of plastic roads during the current financial year. Last year 42 km of roads were built in the state using this material.
With more than 35 tons of plastic waste generated by every Indian state, each day India is confronted with the big question of how to get rid of this non-biodegradable menace.
Mr. Khan's company, K.K. Plastic Waste Management has the perfect answer to the question. K.K. Plastic Waste Management turns thousands of tons of waste plastic from India's technology and IT hub, Bangalore, into roads. They last longer than conventional roads and rid the city of its excess plastic. Plastic waste is collected from garbage bins across the city through a network of municipal workers, rag pickers and their own employees. Then the plastic is shredded into tiny pieces and mixed with asphalt.
The company's managing director says the idea came to him 10 years ago when various organizations started anti-plastic campaigns, putting their plastic churning factories in danger of being shut down. Khan said they have helped build more than 8,000 miles of roads, and it's even possible to completely use all the waste plastic in India to build more roads.
A roads expert says the process of mixing plastic waste in road construction serves the dual purpose of getting rid of the plastic and enhancing the performance of the road

The world continues to become more urbanized each year; therefore, it is unlikely that all fighting will be done in rural settings. Major urban areas represent the power and wealth of a particular country in the form of industrial bases, transportation complexes, economic institutions, and political and cultural centers. Therefore, it may be necessary to secure and neutralize them. When navigating in urban places, it is man-made features, such as roads, railroads, bridges, and buildings that become important, while terrain and vegetation become less useful.
a. Interpretation and Analysis. Military operations on urbanized terrain require detailed planning that provides for decentralized execution. As a result of the rapid growth and changes occurring in many urban areas, the military topographic map is likely to be outdated. Supplemental use of commercially produced city maps may be helpful, or an up-to-date sketch can be made.
(1) Urbanized terrain normally offers many AAs for mounted maneuver well forward of and leading to urban centers. In the proximity of these built-up areas, however, such approach routes generally become choked by urban sprawl and perhaps by the nature of adjacent natural terrain. Dismounted forces then make the most of available cover by moving through buildings and underground systems, along edges of streets, and over rooftops. Urban areas tend to separate and isolate units, requiring the small-unit leader to take the initiative and demonstrate his skill in order to prevail.
(2) The urban condition of an area creates many obstacles, and the destruction of many buildings and bridges as combat power is applied during a battle further limits your freedom of movement. Cover and concealment are plentiful, but observation and fields of fire are greatly restricted.
b. Navigation. Navigation in urban areas can be confusing, but there are often many cues that will present themselves as you proceed. They include streets and street signs; building styles and sizes; the urban geography of industrial, warehousing, residential housing, and market districts; man-made transportation features other than streets and roads (rail and trolley lines); and the terrain features and hydrographic features located within the built-up area. Strategies for staying on the route in an urban area include:
(1) Process Route Descriptions. Write down or memorize the route through an urban area as a step-by-step process. For example, "Go three blocks north, turn left (west) on a wide divided boulevard until you go over a river bridge. Turn right (north) along the west bank of the river, and. . . "
(2) Conceptual Understandings of the Urban Area. While studying the map and operating in a built-up area, work hard to develop an understanding (mental map) of the entire area. This advantage will allow you to navigate over multiple routes to any location. It will also preclude your getting lost whenever you miss a turn or are forced off the planned route by obstacles or the tactical situation.
(3) Resection. Whenever you have a vantage point to two or more known features portrayed on the map, do not hesitate to use either estimated or plotted resection to pinpoint your position. These opportunities are often plentiful in an urban setting.

ASLEF calls for a public inquiry into the collapse of Carillion
15 January 2018
Mick Whelan, general secretary of ASLEF, the train drivers' union, has called for a public inquiry into the collapse of Carillion this morning.
Mick said: 'Naturally, we are thinking of all the workers, in the public and private sectors, who have been impacted by the construction company Carillion going into administration today.
'We do wonder, though, how and why, after serial profits warnings, contracts came to be awarded to Carillion, particularly in the rail sector by Chris Grayling, and the impact this may have on the future of Crossrail and HS2.
'We echo the request from Rebecca Long-Bailey to bring all public sector contracts back under public control immediately.
'And there needs to be an urgent public inquiry into all aspects of this and a recognition that PFI does not work for the taxpayer, the consumer, or the good of this country.'Back »

Physicians Who Treat Intussusception Near Reading, PA
Intussusception is a condition that mainly occurs in children, in which part of the small or large intestine slides back into itself. This often causes a blockage in the intestine that prevents food or fluid from passing through it. Intussusceptions can also cut off the blood supply to the affected portion of the intestine.

The covariance risk of consumer loans is difficult to measure due to high heterogeneity. Using the Chilean Household Finance Survey I simulate the default conditions of heterogeneous households over distinct macro scenarios. I show that consumer loans have a high covariance beta relative to the stock market and bank assets. Banks' loan portfolios have very different covariance betas, with some banks being prone to high risk during recessions. High income and older households have lower betas and help diversify banks' portfolios. Households' covariance risk increases the probability of being rejected for credit and has a negative impact on loan amounts.

Soudien on Libraries and RevolutionPosted by in event - (Comments Off)
It's crucial for the South African university to bring itself to acknowledge that there is "outstanding business, business that is not even on the agenda" in terms of excluded knowledge systems, Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Crain Soudien argued in an address about how a university should position itself in the information age.
Libraries were at the heart of this dilemma, he told delegates at LISC 75, the Library and Information Studies Centre's 75 years commemoration conference on 27 November."How you begin to project this information revolution is not only about big data, but also about big data that we've lost and never come to terms with. So you, as the frontline in some ways, of how information is come to, are in a pivotal position. I really appeal to you to help us become better at what we are doing." (more…)

The Federal Government on Tuesday requested a secret trial for Senator Representing Borno South, Mohammed Ali Ndume, who is facing terrorism related charges before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The request by the government, which seeks to preclude members of the public from witnessing court proceedings, is coming midway into the trial, which began last year.
Recall that Sen. Ndume was arraigned before Justice Kolawole on December 12, 2013 on a four-count charge by the Department of State Services (DSS) after a Boko Haram kingpin was arrested in his house in Maiduguri, Borno State.
The DSS accused him of funding the insurgent group and failing to provide information about its operations to security agencies.
On Tuesday, the prosecution lawyer, E.A. Orji, while moving a motion dated September 23, 2014 prayed the court to protect the identity of the remaining witnesses scheduled to testify in the matter.
He said the intended secret trial would serve as a protective measure for witnesses in the case, whose security could be compromised should their identities be made public.
"We urge the court to exclude members of the public from the trial. We also want the court to protect the identities of the remaining witnesses that will give evidence in this case.
"The fundamental rights of the accused have not been violated because his counsel is represented and has not in any way been excluded from the matter. It is in the interest of national security and public safety that the motion should be granted", Orji said.
Lawyer to the accused, I. Amaza, argued that the prosecution's request would violate his client's right to fair hearing, therefore, he urged the court to refuse the prosecution's prayer and proceed with the trial.
After listening to both arguments, Justice Kolawole adjourned to October 24 for ruling.

Book Review: Dangerous
Dangerous by Milo Yiannopoulos
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
Former Breitbart editor and august internet troll, Milo Yiannopoulos, has forcefully presented to the world a book that's both boring and shallow.
It isn't offensive, shocking, or thought-provoking, in any way, certainly not in the way the author intended. It's essentially a 250 page plea written by an amoral actor who likes to play the bad guy for money, someone who happened to be entertaining enough to have duped a publication into showering him with attention because at one time he had a lot of Twitter followers, with the hopes of ingratiating himself back into the fold of anyone who will have him.
But this book wouldn't exist were it not for the scourge that has come to be known as "Identity Politics."
Lionel Shriver said, "Membership of a larger group is not an identity. Being Asian is not an identity. Being gay is not an identity. Being deaf, blind, or wheelchair-bound is not an identity, nor is being economically deprived. These are adjectives. Identity is about who you really are. We should be seeking to push beyond the constraining categories into which we have been arbitrarily dropped by birth. If we embrace narrow group-based identities too fiercely, we cling to the very cages in which others would seek to trap us. We pigeonhole ourselves. We limit our own notion of who we are, and in presenting ourselves as one of a membership, a representative of our type, an ambassador of an amalgam, we ask not to be seen."
Identity politics was created with good intentions in the 1970s following a series of cultural revolutions in the prior decade, unfortunately, it became institutionalized, and worse yet, it has somehow morphed into a separate ideology unto itself.
You can readily identify this ideology by the Lefts refusal to talk about the science behind transgenderism. The same people who easily accept any reference to science on questions concerning global warming flee all reference to biology when it comes to questions of gender.
In a recent New York Times opinion piece Gerard Alexander wrote, "Liberals dominate the entertainment industry, many of the most influential news sources and America's universities. This means that people with progressive leanings are everywhere in the public eye — and are also on the college campuses attended by many people's children or grandkids. These platforms come with a lot of power to express values, confer credibility and celebrity and start national conversations that others really can't ignore.
But this makes liberals feel more powerful than they are." Adding, "Liberals often don't realize how provocative or inflammatory they can be. They regularly annoy and repel and are far more effective at causing resentment than in getting people to come their way."
This book was originally dropped by Simon & Schuster, before being self published, after an interview with Yiannopoulos surfaced in which he appeared to brush off pedophilia. I myself have listened to that interview and was able to follow his logic without any problems and certainly without concluding that he was advocating for pedophilia. But most people have a difficult time following, let alone arguing, nuanced and emotionally charged topics.
I'm very interested in intellectual freedom and as soon as people began calling for boycotts over Simon & Schusters decision to publish this manuscript, I resolved to read it.
I can't stand the thoughts of someone telling me what I can and can't or should or shouldn't read. That determination is mine and mine alone. I decide what I will or will not read. Not ideologically driven, identity-obsessed, participation award-craving liberals, or anyone else for that matter.
Christopher DeGroot said, "only through ignorance or suppression of the truth that anyone can believe in the leftist worldview, a kind of bad morality play that would be merely amusing were it not so influential."
I understand that every "movement" inevitably ends up being defined by its own fringe elements, but the Left has done a terrible job at policing itself so as to keep those elements in check.
The Left just isn't what it used to be.

Six Questions to Help Find an Advisor Who Shares Your Vision With growing competition, many investment advisors and companies have become increasingly aggressive in the desire to manage your investments. By asking a few simple questions, you'll be better able to identify a compatible advisor who can help you achieve your long-term financial goals. 1. HOW WELL DOES YOUR ADVISOR UNDERSTAND YOUR FINANCIAL AND LIFE GOALS? An advisor who is a financial partner will work to see the big picture, take the time to listen to your vision and goals, ask detailed questions about your fears and concerns, and find out what matters most. If an advisor is more focused on beating an index than understanding your goals, you may want to keep looking. 2. HOW ACCESSIBLE IS YOUR ADVISOR? Getting answers to your questions in a timely fashion is important. Work with someone who is responsive and has an informed supporting team who can address your questions in the event your advisor is unavailable. 3. WILL YOUR ADVISOR MEET YOUR CHANGING NEEDS OVER TIME? Your world is different today than it was ten years ago, and it will be different in another ten years. That is why it's important that your advisor periodically reviews your investment plan and recommends updates based on changes in the market and in your life. It's also helpful to work with an advisor who offers access to a broad range of financial services, such as investment management, trust services, and private banking, that can meet your needs today and in the future. 4. WILL YOU RECEIVE INVESTMENT SOLUTIONS THAT MEET YOUR NEEDS? Some investment firms, and advisors, promote off- the-shelf investment solutions designed to accommodate the needs of large groups of investors. These programs may not meet your unique asset allocation and diversification needs. Look for an advisor who will take into account your income needs, tax situation, time horizon, risk tolerance, and financial goals. 5. HOW IS YOUR ADVISOR COMPENSATED? While financial advice shouldn't be free, it should be clear how your advisor is being paid. Investment professionals can be compensated in a variety of ways, including commission on each transaction or agreed upon fees. Don't hesitate to ask questions about a potential advisor's compensation as it relates to your investments. An objective advisor will make decisions based on your needs, not theirs. 6. ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR ADVISOR'S RECOMMENDATIONS? It's likely that you are seeking an advisor because of his or her knowledge in this area or because you don't have the time to devote to your investments as you'd like. Either way, it is important that your advisor thoroughly explains his or her recommendations in plain language, presents ideas that are aligned with your goals, and makes recommendations that are in your best interest. If you are not comfortable with your advisor's recommendations, he or she may not be the right advisor for you.

Fate of the Elder Gods Review
Area control, Hand Management, Worker Placement
Greater Than Games (Fabled Nexus)
Christopher Kirkman, Daryll Louder, Richard Lanius
Lucas Durham, Chad Hoverter, Christopher Kirkman, Darrell Louder, Nolan Nasser, Jorge Ramos
Even for those who feel like they've dealt with all the Lovecraftian horror they care to, Fate of the Elder Gods offers some interesting mechanics to go along with its well-loved (though perhaps well-worn) theme. And hey, you get to be the bad guys this time!
Ok, I'm just going to say it. Cultists.
Jess: Ah, dang it, not them again. Ok, I'll go get the shotgun, you start painting Elder Signs above all the doors and windows. If we can manage to figure out which great old one they are trying to summon, we might be able to…why aren't you painting Elder Signs yet?
Andrew: Wait, no, not so fast. Because, and just hear me out here, what if instead of-
Jess: We're the cultists this time.
Andrew: We're the cultists this time!
Fate of the Elder Gods is an area influence/worker placement game from Fabled Nexus. It's also a bit of a twist on the classic Cthulhu Horror gameplay that we've widely come to expect. Instead of intrepid investigators working to subvert the end of the world at the hands of the nefarious minions of the darkness, we are said minions, who will be as nefarious as possible in our attempts to bring about the end of the world.
Each cult is racing to summon their elder god first, accomplished primarily by sacrificing their witless pawns (which is to say their valued members) in the name of that great evil – each sacrificed cultist draws them closer to the 9 points needed to summon their monster boss and win the game. Along the way, they will need to avoid the meddling of investigators, and each other.
Andrew: Of course, with each cult looking to do this first, it's every cult for themselves.
Jess: Where are all my sacrificial knives? I know I put them down here somewhere…
The main thrust of gameplay in Fate of the Elder Gods will be that each turn, players will move the Fate Piece around the board, adding cultists to various locations in order to activate the location's core function. If the active cult has enough members on site (and holds a majority there), then they will be able to gain additional benefits from the location's power.
Each location has a unique function and a majority function:
- Other Worlds – It is here that your cultists will off themselves in an attempt to curry favor with the Elder Gods and summon them to this world. Controlling this location will potentially allow sacrificed cultists to return from the void (presumably to be sacrificed again).
- Museum – This location lets you draw on the power of artifacts, which convey powerful, rule-bending advantages to those brave enough to use them. Controlling the Museum lets you wipe the current artifacts before choosing new ones, as well as sacrifice cultists to destroy Elder Signs (more on those in a bit).
- The Ceremony – Each Elder God gifts its cult with a unique power, and the Ceremony is the key to activating it. Controlling the Ceremony also lets you advance on your summon track.
- Streets of Arkham – Nobody likes a snitch, but the Streets of Arkham lets you distribute investigators to your opponents and trigger immediate raids on their lodges.
- The Gathering – Like some sort of Uber of the Damned, this location lets you return cultists from the abyss and redistribute them around the board. Controlling the Gathering lets you move more cultists for the same action….like some sort of UberXL of the Damned.
- The Library – This storehouse of arcane knowledge lets you draw extra spell cards and ready two spells on that turn (instead of the usual one). Controlling the Library will let you ready any one spell for free.
Jess: Cults have control of an area if they have at least 3 members there, and also have the most cultists there. It requires a bit of forethought and planning to get control, but it's valuable to do so.
Andrew: Or, alternately, you might get control if you randomly roll the right face on a die at the beginning of your turn. Sure, it's pure luck, but hey, Cthulhu is chaos!
Aside from just shuttling cultists around the board like a particularly evil soccer mom, players will also be prepping and casting spells. Spells produce a variety of powerful effects, and are usually prepared by taking advantage of the cards which accrue at the various board locations to move the Fate Piece.
Andrew: The spell-prep system is actually really clever – since players add cards to locations to determine the Fate Piece movement, what they are simultaneously doing is seeding that location for future spell preparation. Each spell has some symbols on it, and in order to prepare it, you will need to go to a location with those symbols. It adds one more strategic layer that I think is really cool!
Jess: Especially once you remember that your prepped spells also contribute their own symbols, so it's possible to build some really cool combos and then UNLEASH YOUR NIGHTMARISH WILL UPON THE WORLD!!!
Which actually segues nicely into the next little wrinkle Fate of the Elder Gods throws at you. Of course, all this cultish activity is bound to rouse some suspicion on the part of feeble mortals who are invested in keeping the world at large intact (or, as we think of them, protagonists from other games). In Fate of the Elder Gods, this suspicion is represented by the growing number of investigators who show up every time your cultists arrive at a location. When enough investigators are present in a location, going there will trigger a raid on your haven, with the would-be do-gooders potentially dropping those aggravating Elder Signs all over your base.
Jess: Great, NOW you start painting Elder Signs?
The Elder Signs present you with two threats. Firstly, if a cult manages to screw up enough to have a 10th Elder Sign added to their track, they immediately lose and end the game (with the winning cult being the one with the fewest Elder Signs among the survivors). However, Elder Signs can also cause your cult to become cursed, and that's where things get really interesting.
Curses come from spells as well as artifacts, in addition to the Elder Signs that get added to your summoning track. And for each time your cult gets cursed, one of the other players will draw a curse card for you. Each curse has a specific gameplay trigger and an effect that happens as soon as you meet those conditions.
The effects range from inconvenient to catastrophic, so players who do get cursed will want to do everything in their power to avoid the trigger conditions…
Jess: But since it's your opponents who draw your curse cards, you don't actually know what those triggers are!
Andrew: It's a simple thing, but I love the impact that the curse cards have on gameplay. As soon as you draw one, you don't know if or when it will go off, nor what might happen. And since another player does, they sort of have something over you, creating this odd little spike of tension between you.
Jess: And from the other side, it can be downright inconvenient to have to watch another player's actions to keep track of whether they have triggered a curse you're holding for them. That's another layer of this playful resentment that the game subtly puts between you, making it even more satisfying when you have a chance to mess them up!
Normally, we don't love games with a strong take-that element, and Fate of the Elder Gods most assuredly has it. You will blast other cultists, mind control their minions, lead investigators to raid their bases, and more or less do everything you can to disrupt their efforts. And for the theme, that makes perfect sense.
Andrew: My only real complaint about the take-that nature of Fate of the Elder Gods is that it is totally possible (and likely) for the player in the lead or on the verge of winning to get piled on by the other players. In my experience, there is little more frustrating than making lots of progress in a game only to have it ground down by the group when you get too close to the win.
Jess: That's fair. It can also be really frustrating for you to be an action away from winning, only to have the Fate Piece always where you need to be. Since the piece must move, you will often find yourself unable to take the action you need, so you spend a round spinning your wheels.
Andrew: On the other hand, when you make a big play and it pays off, it feels great!…unless one of those blasted Curses triggers and drags you back across the edge of victory.
Jess: Hey, you know the old saying – big risk, big reward, big curse.
Andrew: I'm almost certain that isn't how it goes.
We enjoyed Fate of the Elder Gods for precisely what it was – mostly quick, frequently clever, and entirely playable. Though we did have a few quibbles, the overall experience was really clean and fun, made all the better when we leaned into the cut-throat nature of its core. In the race to end the world, it's entirely acceptable (and necessary) to trip up the other runners, and Fate of the Elder Gods makes it satisfying to do so.
So is Fate of the Elder Godsfor everyone? Nah, some folks won't like that core aspect, and in all fairness, we've seen a million games based on the Cthulhu mythos. But Fate of the Elder Gods successfully combines clever gameplay, solid presentation (great minis, gorgeous art), and just enough fresh twist on perspective to make it stand on its own.

The only truth Jack shared was that Twitter is left-leaning. "I think we need to constantly show that we are not adding our own bias, which I fully admit is left, is more left-leaning"
In other words: "We do not enforce based on content, only behavior." For example, if their behavior is posting conservative content.
So now we know Google, Facebook, and Twitter blatantly practice Conservative censorship infringing on our free speech rights! What's going to be done about all these un-American CEO's?
"We do not look at content with regards to political viewpoint or ideology," @Jack told me. But he knows some people do not believe him. "I think we need to constantly show that we are not adding our own bias, which I fully admit is left, is more left-leaning," he says… pic.twitter.com/1i8jJunhfz
— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) August 18, 2018
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey admitted during an interview with CNN reporter Brian Stelter that Twitter has a "left-leaning" bias, suggested that they do "shadow ban" people, and said that he has not done enough to implement his own "personal objectives" at Twitter.
Trending: What's Wrong with Liberals?
The interview, set to air on Sunday, comes as the San Francisco based social media company is coming under intense fire over well-documented allegations of bias against Republicans and conservatives.
"Are we doing something according to political ideology or viewpoints? We are not. Period," Dorsey claimed during the interview, which took place on Friday. "We do not look at content with regards to political viewpoint or ideology. We look at behavior." More
Twitter actually admitted in sworn testimony it buried tweets critical of Hillary Clinton and John Podesta's lies and corruption and she still lost in an electoral landslide despite having the MSM and social media giants completely tilting the scales in her direction…
Censorship on social media of conservative views has become commonplace.
Not really stunning, and liberals will cheer it as the only "moral" thing to do.
— Sifu Edition (@SifuEdition) August 19, 2018
I am and at the same time not shocked that @Twitter will not allow conservatives to discuss the things important to us, but will always allow pornography and other vile things like that for the world to see.
— Nerdy_Heathen (@mcrae_heath) August 19, 2018
If you hire just Millennial leftists for your screening and censorship departments, and don't hire both left AND right in equal numbers, as the country is 50/50, your bias will always remain.
— Frank Blazey (@frankblaze) August 19, 2018
Appreciate his honesty, but floored by his assertion that Twitter's biases don't effect their censorship of conservatives.

To Snorkel or Not To Snorkel?
In a recent thread about breathing, reference was made to another site by Coach Emmett Hines--title was Sucking Wind. This article made a "good sell" of why to buy a swimmers snorkel.
Site was h2oustonswims.org/articles/sucking_wind.html
Prior to starting TI, I never had much trouble breathing, but once I started TI, I got caught up in counting strokes, head down, etc all of which created a lot of tension. I have started to improve with breathing by reducing tension and practicing a lot of SG and skating drills.
My thought is if I do get one of these swimmers snorkels, perhaps my improvement will be more rapid. I did try a regular snorkel and it did help a little in lessening breathlessness after swimming several laps.
So my question is if I do buy the snorkel, I worry about becoming dependent on it. Need advice--should I stay the tortoise (slow and easy wins the race)? In other words, no "pool toys" or would it be worth my while to take the risk of dependence in favor of improvement?
Interested in anyone's opinion.

text: Tried again with a couple slabs. Started the drum and after awhile it settled in to a temp of 240. Put the slabs on followed all I learned reading the rib threads and they came out PERFECT!! Drum held the temp throughout the cook; when I took them off to foil, I'd bet that lid was not off ten seconds so it did not really have a chance to spike. I THINK I'm getting the hang of this thank you all for your help and advice!

Below are the types of Raw Materials Used in Cosmetics & Personal Care Products –
1. Glycerine
Glycerine is a colourless, odourless and allergenic free organic raw material. It, however, has a slight viscosity with a sweet taste when used in lip balm. Its humectants liquid is used as an agent in cosmetics soaps, shampoos and other households. As a natural source, Glycerine is invaluable with emollient properties that softens and soothes the skin. It also has the capability of attracting moisture to the skin. Therefore this is the main reason; it is used in the manufacture of skincare products.
2. Fatty alcohols
They are also components of cosmetic raw materials and industrial solvents. Therefore, they can also be used as emulsifiers and thickeners for skincare products. The fatty acids are not irritating, and because of this, they are beneficial to dry skin. Based on the type of skin, fatty alcohols are used in cosmetics, it works as a moisturizer, pacifier, and softner. It is also used as a thickener in most products.
3. Fatty acids
They are called essential fatty acids because of their benefits and needs. However, fatty acids are obtained from the food we consume. The vital elements used in the skincare diet with fatty acids is Omega 3 as well as omega 6, which are the building blocks of the healthy cell membrane. The polyunsaturated in fatty acids produce a natural skin barrier that is essential in skin hydration and maintaining the natural skin. Therefore because of its benefits, the fatty acids are used in the manufacture of the skincare products as well as in cosmetics products.
4. Castor oil
Usually castor oil is widely used as a medicinal purpose. Castor oil has been proved to be the best skincare oil in treating problems such as acne, stretch marks, dry skin, itching, and many other skin issues. Being a natural emollient penetrating through the skin, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin that hydrates the skin and keeps it soft. Due to these benefits, it is used in the manufacture of the skincare products that prevent numerous health issues.
Consumers need to know the information what raw materials are used in the production of cosmetics and skincare products when buying cosmetic products and personal care products. Therefore Cosmetics raw materials suppliers should be keen when selecting materials for the market to consumers.

It's been a staple of sitcoms since the early days of TV. "The Talk." That awkward and often humourous scene in which TV Mom or TV Dad sits TV Teenager down to discuss sex. It usually involves both parties being super uncomfortable. The adult begins the talk, the kid tells the adult they already know all about it, then the adult breathes a sigh of relief, the audience laughs, and it's all wrapped up before the next commercial break.
This would be hilarious if it wasn't so close to the truth for many families. My mom recalls her "Talk" consisting entirely of, "Blue side down," referring to which side of the menstrual pad touched the underwear.
A few years ago, the Ontario government put a health curriculum in place to ensure that no kids slipped through the cracks. The current Ontario government has put that education at risk, making it that much more important for these talks to be happening at home.
Notice I said, "these talks." The problem with having "The Talk" is that comprehensive sex education requires more than one sit down in the teen years – it is an ongoing discussion from toddlerhood.
Knowledge Is Power
My parents took what was a pretty unconventional approach in the 80s. They were open and honest with me from the beginning. I don't recall ever not knowing where babies come from. I had an anatomy book mixed in with my picture books that showed each step of fetal development, and I studied it with fascination. My most rented movie from the video store was a cartoon detailing the facts of life with a kid-friendly approach. I knew the proper names for body parts, and I understood that my body autonomy was to be respected.
Then there is the oft-told story around my house of the time I was three and playing with the children of my aunt's neighbour. Their mother had just had a baby. They excitedly told me how their mommy had Bradley by magic. My face grew grim, my mouth curled into a pout, and I informed them, with great disappointment, that, "My mommy had me by Caesarian." Far less cool, but much more accurate. The neighbour, overhearing this, called me a filthy-mouthed brat and banned me from playing with her children. I think of this story often, and the shock those kids were in for when they discovered where Bradley really came from – hopefully before they accidentally ended up with a Bradley of their own.
Start Education Early
I am taking the same approach with my two boys. We have discussed sex as it comes up since before they could speak, starting with labelling body parts accurately. We bought a book about conception, pregnancy and body changes, and put it into regular rotation on the bookshelf with Dr. Seuss and Robert Munsch. That was a fun surprise for Grandma when she volunteered to read the bedtime story my oldest had chosen one night. Bless her heart, she read it verbatim.
When my oldest was three, he happily told anyone who would listen that babies are made with an egg and "Smurf." (He says it correctly now.🙂) This weekend, we were watching "Look Who's Talking" which includes a peek at sperm fertilizing an egg. My youngest, who is five, was quite interested to see what that looks like beyond diagrams in a book. Amazingly, having this information at a young age has not scarred them!
But it goes beyond making sure they know the mechanics. At ten, my oldest is starting puberty, and this open dialogue we have fostered allows him to ask questions about his changing body without too much reservation. Our hope is this will continue as sex becomes more than an abstract idea, but an actual decision they will need to make.
Consent Is Key
And it goes beyond sex itself. From toddlerhood, we have discussed consent. Now, we didn't sit our one-year-olds down and tell them that they do not have the right to sexually assault people – but we taught them the concept of respecting other people's bodily autonomy, and expecting their own to be respected. If they said 'stop' while being tickled, we stopped immediately, even if we knew they were kidding. We never insist they give hugs and kisses, to anyone. We also insist that they respect it when we don't want to be touched. Our children have learned, and are continuing to learn, that if someone does not want to be touched in that moment, it is not a personal rejection of them, it is an expression of body agency, and must be respected always.
Calling Out Negative Messages & Behaviours
We point out problematic messages in the media. When we see things that contribute to rape culture or sexism, my husband and I call it out. Our ten-year-old has started noticing these things for himself and pointing them out. We are teaching them to not only respect and seek consent themselves, but to advocate for others and speak out when they see someone being violated.
Age-Appropriate Discussions
We have discussed sexual orientation, gender fluidity, adoption, surrogacy, IVF, different types of families, and countless other topics as they have come up. All of this before our children have hit middle school, and they are handling it just fine. Soon, we will introduce the subjects of birth control, sexually transmitted diseases, and discussions surrounding having sex. The concept of bodily autonomy will transition to discussions about sexual consent, and the requirement of getting and giving an enthusiastic yes before engaging in sexual activity. We will discuss how to handle rejection. We will set clear expectations and we will enforce them.
Ongoing Dialogue
None of this will happen with one sit down talk. The seeds for these discussions were planted in toddlerhood, and have already begun to grow buds. We will keep watering them and pruning them until they are flourishing and able to stand on their own as tall, independent trees. This is true not just of sex, but all important subjects – drugs, smoking, peer pressure, bullying, etc.
Our kids deserve more than one hurried conversation, and so do their future partners.

Spy Hunter Babies, Like Muppet Babies
December 2, 2005 11:01 AM | Simon Carless
Knitted objects which reference video games are, of course, the new black, as anyone who's lusted Katamari Damacy hats must be aware. Well, charging into the fray of retro head-warming knitwear comes this excellent baby hat based on classic Midway arcade game Spy Hunter - the pictured angle showcases "a front view, showing the Interceptor itself, shooting flaming bullets at the bad guys."
An earlier post on the Blue Canary Creations website explains the design process, noting that the talented knitter has "stolen the stripe sequence from the cabinet art for the earflaps." Neato. Maybe The Rock needs one to cover his pate for the movie remake? [Via GAF.]

In 2010, I normally posted about once a week – but it wasn't unusual for me to miss a week or two once in awhile. Then Word Press challenged all their bloggers to write either once a day or once a week. I opted for the once a day, since I had been writing pretty much once a week already.
I certainly didn't post every day. There were some days that I just didn't have anything to write about and although I have a little bit of time before work to write, its hard to come up with something from nothing. The prompts from Word Press gave me a few topics on occasion, but I usually combined 3 or 4 of those topics into one blog – so 7 topics in a week only gave me 2 posts.
I could usually find enough to talk about in the spring, summer and fall – since there was almost always something to see on the Chester walks along the Red River. It is much harder to find something to talk about in the winter though, since there is seldom much to see and just reporting that it's cold gets very monotonous.
I don't expect that much will change this year. I will continue to write most days, but without the challenge to write every day it may not bother me to miss a day or 2 when I don't have anything to say or any pictures to show. I always have Africam to write about and as it gets closer to my trip to Africa I'm sure I will have things to say about that. When I get back from Africa, there should be lots of days of blogs about my trip.
I will continue to write about my pets Chester and Jewel and may include my daughter's pets again as well.
There isn't much time left in 2011 now to catch up to my missed posts, so I will fall short of my goal – but not by too much. Including this post, I have blogged 333 times in 2011. I can still post 3 more times, or if I go crazy and post twice a day, 7 more times this year. I'm not apt to post twice a day – so my grand total for the year should be 336. I'm happy with that.
I have never considered myself a writer. I like to write things down and sometimes I find that writing things will help me get past a problem or to get unhappy thoughts out of my head, since once I've put the thoughts into words, I can get past whatever was bothering me.
It surprises me that people actually read my blog, but a lot of traffic is random when they enter a search and end up on my page. I don't know anything about most of the people who read a post or 2 and then continue on. If someone clicks 'like', I then know who they are and can go to their blog and like it as well. If someone leaves a comment, I also know who they are, but most are just numbers that show up on my stats page and I can see which page they were on when they clicked the link to come to my blog.
The most views I've had in one day was 96 on March 10, 2011 and the lowest was – well zero and that has been one a few days, but mostly on the days I didn't post. All together, there have been 10,375 views since I started blogging in August, 2008 and I have 612 posts all together.
Thanks Word Press for providing this blog!
So far on Africam today we have seen Elephant, Woolly-necked Stork, Impala, Wildebeest, Hadeda Ibis, Waterbuck, Egyptian Goose, Black-backed Jackal, Hyaena, Zebra and Nyala. Click here to see all of today's pictures.
Chester and I will head out for our walk along the Red River in a few minutes and the temperature is now -9C with a wind chill of -18C. It is supposed to go up to -3C by this afternoon. We've had a bit of fresh snow over night so everything looks nice and white.

Another winner!
"We know that the killing of innocents is forbidden. But we don't see two classes of blood; the blood of Iraqis is just as important to us as English blood…when you understand things from that perspective, why should we condemn the bombing?" –Dr. Imram Waheed, "Islamic activist," in the NYT.
It's clear that logic is prominent among the branches of Islamic philosophy.

As the sales are dwindling down to those last sad racks of jumbled up items, it's refreshing to see new season pieces come in. This season, Yellow is being splashed about to add some sunshine in our lives. Here are some pieces which may tempt you to try this bright, happy hue.
Flared Trousers by Zara – tailored, slightly flared trousers make legs look long and these could be worn with a shirt or a chunky grey rollneck.
Oversized Knit by & Other Stories – I love a chunky knit. Put a navy funnel neck tee underneath for added cosiness.
Penelope Shire in Striped Yellow by Baukjen – a subtle way to experiment with yellow.
Star Jumper by Hush – one of Hush's classic style in a subdued daffodil yellow. This shade would look great with stonewash blue denim.
Pointed Court Shoes by Marks & Spencer – a way to dabble in yellow without full on commitment. These with a pair of grey checked trousers or dark denim would certainly put a spring in your step.
Unstructured Virgin Wool Coat by Mango – Tis coat is fab. Like a inviting blanket to snuggle into whilst still looking smart.
Floral Relaxed Dress by Marks & Spencer – this can be worn with tights, boots and a rollneck jumper now and with sandals as the weather warms up.
Yellow Belt by Gift Pop Boutique – add a dash of colour with this playful belt and simply tuck in a shirt or tee.
Yellow Mini Dress by Vanessa Seward – it's always worth having a peak at The Outset. This dress is perfect for thinking ahead to Summer. So pretty and worn with tan slides it's a perfect warm, Summer evening dress or if you want to try trainers for a relaxed daytime look I think that would work too.
Cotton and Silk Maxi Dress by Nicholas – another The Outnet find I think this dress is simply stunning and is Summer party perfection.
Mustard Velvet Jacket by Boden – this jacket will smarten up any outfit in an instant.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Electric Instruments' started by Glide-bpm, Nov 7, 2018.
Low light in the truck and overcast with no flash...
Nice one. Those birds w the black outline. Yes.
That looks awesome!
Awesome! Can't wait for mine to arrive tomorrow, so I will drool over yours awhile if you don't mind...
Beauty, eh??!!
Sweet top!
Nicely done sir!
So hot! Glad you got back in on this! Mine is "Out For Delivery"
Awesome score!!!
Nice, nice, nice. Love the burst on it!
Great quilt.
And I love the grain lines in the top.
Most excellent.
very cool!
Thanks, all!!! That top/finish is crazy... it changes personalities a LOT at different angles and lighting levels. Have only played her acoustically.
Only had time to drop her off at the house on the way back to work at lunch. @bodia, I'm a lucky man living and working only 15-20 minutes from
the UPS hub... hehehe. For some reason, a lot of times guitars and speakers can only be picked up from the hub versus routing to the town
UPS Store. Dohhh. Looking forward to seeing "home made" pics of everyone else's guitars from this run!!!
Acoustically, this puppy is a LOT more lively, not just highs, but in mids and low mids, than my WL 10 Top 509. If it translates well to the amplified
world, sadly, the other 509 will be going up on the chopping blocks. Just not practical to keep two 509's for me, even though I love the old one, too.
and as in the drool request above, anyone is welcome to drool over mine until theirs is dropped off!!!
What do you mean "if it translates well to the amplified world?" It does. You're going to be impressed.
Killer top and color!! Beautiful score!!
Just think of it as a fancy way to say "knock on wood".... LoL!!!
Love it!!!!
I wore that thing out this afternoon/evening... Even had to break out some Mississippi Queen for good measure!!!
You guys are gonna love these guitars so much more in person

A Mazda with a diesel engine finally will arrive in the U.S. in early 2013, spokesman Jeremy Barnes tells us. "It'll be here between 15 and 18 months behind the launch of the Skyactiv-G gasoline engine in the Mazda 3." That car hit the market in October of last year, so the math says to expect a diesel Mazda between January and April of 2013. This is just a few months later than originally projected.
Even though Mazda is describing the timing based on changes made to the Mazda 3, we shouldn't expect that particular model to go diesel just yet. Our guess is that the compression-ignition engine will arrive first in the CX-5; the 3 and 6 are strong possibilities for diesel power in the following year or two. Mazda's higher-spec 2.2-liter Skyactiv-D diesel four is the best candidate for U.S. service; in Europe, it makes 173 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. We did a deep dive on this engine when it first debuted, so check out our full rundown for more details.

Instead of Mr. Clean, the bleach-like cleaning substance is called Mr. Proper. My guess is that the English word "clean" must be some racial slur in another language and so they made it Mr. Proper so that it wouldn't offend. But yeah, let's keep the bald guy cause that's our identity. Bald cleaning men must be their target audience I suppose. A friend we've met here said that she saw a cleaning liquid called Barf. Wouldn't that be sweet. "My little Timmy spilled ketchup all over the floor, but I just poured some Barf on it and in minutes I forgot all about that silly ketchup."
Other cool products: Kosmostars. Come on, that's cool. Who would win a fight between the Kosmostars bear and Tony the Tiger? I think my money's on a bear trained by the Soviets for space travel.
One thing I saw here (and I remember in Costa Rica they did this, too) that really has got to be implemented in the States is paying a rental for your shopping cart. There is a chain device that is attached to all the carts and you can't release a cart to shop with until you slip a coin into a little slot. Then when you return the cart, you get back your coin. If we did this in Utah, the parking lot wouldn't be full of friggin' stupid lazy people's shopping carts. (If after reading this section you feel a little guilty about a previous shopping trip, just promise me that you'll never do it again. This is a previous grocery store employee telling you now that every cart you leave behind in the wrong place becomes someone else's problem and no they aren't happy about having to clean up after you.)
Time in the room
Saturday is the day where the baby house is a little more relaxed. We got two little "treats" today that we usually don't get a chance to do. First, in the morning, we asked if we could play in the "big" room with all the other little kids. The weekend caretakers (to be honest, they are our favorite ones so far) allowed Jamie and I to spend time with Sash and the other kiddos. It was loud and hectic and crazy and really fun and we got great photos and video of Sasha playing with her friends from the baby house.
Then, in the afternoon, we got a chance to tour a little more of the baby house. During the week, things are so busy and official that we just stay in our little room, but it was fun to take advantage of the quiet weekends to see some of the other public rooms. Teacher Ben (and our Ben for that matter), this photo is for you - check out the mural of the Gran Rippon, just like the book that Aunt Sarah sent!
Prayer request: We are on the cusp of finishing our 14 day bonding period and will start the next round of administrative work soon - petitioning for a court date, pre-court, court, etc. Please pray with us that everything is in order, that our paperwork is completed correctly and in a timely manner, and of course that the judge agrees that Sasha should be ours forever!

Trump Trumps Clinton Among Biz Voters, NAPCO Media Research Shows
Three out of four industries support presidential candidate Donald Trump over his opponent, Hillary Clinton, according to a survey conducted by NAPCO Media Research.
Business leaders made up their minds even before Monday night's debate, according to the research titled "Make American Business Great Again: Corporate Leaders Choose Trump Over Clinton."
Nathan Safran, director of research at NAPCO Media, says these findings reflect a rare effort — determining the business point of view about the election. Most of the research is focused on the consumer's opinion, he says. So in August, he worked to rectify that.
To that end, he writes in the survey's executive summary: "The study — a survey of 810 business leaders across the Printing, Promotional Products, Consumer Electronics and Nonprofit industries — found three out of four industries support Trump over Clinton, with two of the three supporting Trump over Clinton by a margin of 2-to-1.
"Overall," Safran continues, "54 percent of respondents intend to support Trump vs. 32 percent Clinton and 14 percent undecided. The economy and national security were top-of-mind issues for business leaders, and 63 percent of respondents believe Trump is best equipped to grow the economy compared to 37 percent [for] Clinton."
NAPCO Media Research surveyed audiences for NAPCO Media's brands Dealerscope, NonProfit PRO, Printing Impressions, Promo Marketing, Technology Integrator and Target Marketing. Executive-level audience members answered questions online in August. Their responses revealed hints as to the different approaches to government policies professionals have in each field.
"Trump enjoyed his widest support in the printing industry, with 62 percent," according to the research. "Clinton captured [a majority of] 53 percent in the nonprofit industry, compared to 34 percent [for] Trump."
A Third Are Voting Against Clinton
One third of the 810 business leaders NAPCO Media Research interviewed aren't voting for Trump — they're voting against Clinton.
"This suggests there may be something specific about Clinton that is turning off business executives," says the report, "causing them to support Trump, but they do so while not necessarily believing fully in the candidate."
It's the Economy
If an economic solution instead of a candidate were running for president, 87 percent of marketers would vote for that concept. In the promotional products profession, 91 percent said the economy was the key driver of their support for a presidential candidate.
The economy was, by far, the top vote driver, with only the nonprofit industry rating national security as the No. 1 issue.
"This prioritization likely reflects the business leader audience and corporate mindset with which respondents completed the survey," reads the report. "With economic issues top-of-mind for respondents and a non-trivial skew to support Trump overall, it may also mean that business leaders are rather clearly signaling they believe Donald Trump to be better equipped to grow the economy and protect their business interests than Hillary Clinton."
Non-Business Concerns – Voting As a Person
Business executives are still individuals, with concerns as citizens. So while the economy ranked No. 1 for them in this research, their other concerns include national security, social issues, immigration and the candidate's character.
The organizational leaders also may rely on different parts of that economy. Some nonprofit executives, for instance, may be concerned about the ability to obtain government grants, and may view candidates through that lens.
Nevertheless, 63 percent of all respondents say Trump would do the best job of growing the economy. Even most self-declared "undecided" voters think the same, according to the research.

What do you think, marketers?

Welcome Back
Welcome Back!
Here we are with many districts already back in session and services are already being scheduled and/or provided. We hope each of had some time to relax and enjoy some time away from work. This summer, Practi-Cal, has been busy taking the next steps in preparation for the approval of SPA 15-021 as well as enhancing our practice management resources. We have launched features to enhance our daily service journal for Nursing and Healthcare services. These enhancements ake using SpEdCare to document procedures, services and events, easy and above all compliant.
We are confident there is not anything like this on the market for the LBO Program, when it come to documenting and claiming for eligible services.
