Welcome! Here are some links: I've tried to write a concise introduction to his ideas of order and chaos. The Necessity of Virtue is an excellent lecture. To watch lectures of his Maps of Meaning class (based on his book), click here. I've watched all of them 2-3 times. He is a regular on TVO, especially on The Agenda with Steve Paiken. His lecture on the nature of evil can be watched here and I've seen it likely over 20 times. He teaches three courses at the University of Toronto.
Regular readers know I love clinical Psychologist and lecturer Dr. Jordan Peterson. I took one of his classes last year and sat in on it again this out, purely out of interest. It's different every year and you also get something new out. For example, this year, he showed the class an interview with cops of Paul Bernardo, who is a serial murderer, rapist and psychopath. Then he proceeded to dissect all the various body language/relationship dynamic games he was playing. It was mind-blowing to see this guy say with a straight face, "Fine I made some mistakes 17 years ago" as if talking about an affair, when he's really talking about murdering many women. The scary part is no one objects–that's how well he's controlling the room. I spent that hour and half with my jaw literally dropped.
More recently, I took one of his courses and write an essay about what Jordan Peterson has taught me and I wanted to share his work with you. It's amazing how much I've learned from about such diverse topics as improving your relationships, how to think better, how to live life in an authentic way and so forth. Here it is:
What Jordan Peterson Taught Me
Personality transformation is a key theme in the courses of Dr. Jordan Peterson. He teaches this through teaching about the nature of human beings and reality, so that the new personality is better equipped to deal with that reality. The following are some of the most important things I have learned from Dr. Jordan Peterson, my thoughts on them and how I have applied them to my life.
Winning an Argument Doesn't Mean You're Right
This was a comment Dr. Peterson made in a Personality Psychology class last year. He was talking about relationships and I realized that this is something I was doing with those around me. I have a fairly strong personality, and sometimes I can accidentally bulldoze over my friends' opinions without taking the time to understand them.
Growing up in our culture, which emphasizes reason as the source of truth, made me assume that winning an argument equated to being right. That is not always the case because you can win arguments not by convincing the other person of the correctness of your position but by tiring out the other person until they give up. Dr. Peterson has been similarly critical of an over-reliance on reason. As he said, reason is a tool and it should be used as such. It is a great servant but a terrible master. He points out the many millennia that human kind survived before the Enlightenment placed reason on a pedestal a few hundred years ago. Reason, as he points out, has mythically been associated with pathology and tyrannical order. Pure rationality is great for dealing with what is already known, but it can not begin to handle not knowing what is not known. The extent of our lack of knowledge is unknown and may well be infinite, and pure reason cannot get a grasp on that. Reason as the enemy of emotion is also a mistaken dichotomy. The two work together and if one person does not have a balance between the two, they suffer.
The alternative in relationships is to figure out what the goal is and to listen deeply. Once two or more people can agree on the same goal; the question becomes, "how do we get to that goal in the best way possible?" instead of, "how can I prove I am right for the sake of being right?" If someone feels listened to, as Stephen Covey points out, then they feel a lot more receptive to listening to you. This has radically changed my relationships with other people, greatly reduced conflict and made my relationships much more productive.
Reality is not How We Think It Is
Reality has many ways of perceiving it. This is completely different from the materialist doctrine that I absorbed unconsciously. The idea that the world is composed of objects is a necessary perspective, but it is an incomplete story compared to the phenomenological one Dr. Peterson stresses.
The materialist doctrine also fails to account sufficiently for meaning, which is not a feature of the environment, but the response of a consciousness to the environment. The standard world view is "dead in some fundamental sense" as Dr. Peterson says. This problem is also faced in Cognitive Science and its attempt to understand cognition. It was separated into two problems called the paradox of mechanical reason and the problem of original meaning. How does something completely mechanical handle meaning, which is not physical at all? Despite decades of work, meaning-making machines have not been created and this points to the difficulty of understanding meaning, yet it is ignored by the standard materialist doctrine to the detriment of the people who follow it.
The phenomenological perspective is that a person's experience is real. These things may not correspond to physical things out in the world, however treating them as real is a much better way to handle them. For example, fear is not a feature of the physical environment. This leads to response parents have to children who say they are afraid of monsters under their beds: "there's no such thing as monsters". If the fear was to be treated as real, as Dr. Peterson suggests, the parents would help the children check under the bed to find out that there is nothing to fear. The child would become bigger than its fear through facing it and its personality would grow and transform into something greater.
This manner of dealing with features of consciousness, especially emotions, provides a good basis for dealing with them in a healthy way, rather than repressing or disrespecting them. Treating fear and anxiety as real means that a person finds ways to deal with them and get over them, rather than simply trying to fruitlessly ignore them. This has helped proved me with greater inner peace and integration of my emotions, as well as respect for others' emotions.
Dominance Hierarchies Are Everywhere
When I learn something fundamental about the world, it completely changes my perspective and I see everything anew. I relish these paradigm shifts. This helped me understand what Marcel Proust said, "The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." Dr. Peterson has caused these shifts a number of times. One of them was learning about dominance hierarchies in human beings.
Dominance hierarchies are a pyramid-like organization in many species. In animals, these are often regulated by size or other physical advantages. In human beings, while size hierarchies do exist (a bully, for example), we can form hierarchies over almost anything. This leads to seemingly odd hierarchy games, such as one-upmanship about how bad someone's day way. In university, implicit hierarchies are often based on intelligence, grades or even laziness. Someone will brag to others in an effort to raise their hierarchy position and gain the approval of others. The concept of self-esteem is almost exactly dominance hierarchy positions and regulated by the same neurochemical: serotonin.
Realizing this helped me get my motivations straight. Instead of being led by my unconscious motives such as status games or self-esteem games, I learned to choose my motivations consciously towards the highest good for all or based on thoughtfully chosen goals. It became easy to tell when I or someone else was playing a status or self-esteem game and this has deepened my relationships greatly. I have been able to be sensitive to others' egos when necessary.
Hold Your Beliefs Lightly
I learned this from both Dr. Peterson and my study of Bhuddhist thought. Both recommend not to identify yourself with your beliefs but to identify yourself with the thing inside you which changes beliefs. If you identify too strongly with your beliefs, then you are more rigid and less likely to question them, which can be dangerous because beliefs are inherently fallible. Since we are not omnipotent, we make assumptions about the nature of reality which are inherently incomplete and can be wrong. Holding on too strongly to these assumptions and not allowing them to be changed can lead to many negative consequences.
This has been very important to know in my relationships and in my personal development. In relationships, conflict often occurs around different beliefs. If a person becomes too attached to maintaining their sense of the world and proving that they are right, they may stop themselves from learning more accurate beliefs. This can sustain deep conflict for a long time, so being willing to change my beliefs and being with someone who also is resolves conflicts and creates a stronger relationship than before.
In my personal development, changing beliefs has been crucial to achieving my goals. For example, I used to believe that my grades were a direct reflection of my intelligence. This belief created many problems for me, including failing a year through deep procrastination and identity crisis. However, since I have changed this belief, my grades have skyrocketed. My only regret is that I did not let go of this belief sooner, before it hurt my academic record.
I Don't Know What Games I'm Playing
I was struck by this realization recently. Despite having spent three years trying to figure myself out, I still do not understand all of the games I play. A lot of the games remain unknown because human beings are extremely complicated, and our consciousnesses simply inhabit a tiny part of ourselves with the rest being unconscious. As an example of unconscious games: a friend of mine claims his goal is to get the best grades he can, however he ignores advice such as to read books by the author of Study Hacks (http://www.calnewport.com/blog/) which I used to get a 92% on a major test with less studying. He claims he does it because he wants to figure out how to get better grades himself. This is a different game and it is likely a game to validate his sense of self-competence. Unfortunately, this game conflicts with his stated game so he does worse on the stated game, ironically lowering his sense of competence at getting good grades. Of course, I can identify this game in another person because I used to play it. There are many games that I am playing right now that I cannot identify because I am blind to them.
This realization that I play games and that I often do not know which ones I play has humbled me and pushed me to seek out my true motives. Prof. Vervaeke claims that the parts of our cognition that we are conscious of are a tiny part of our total cognition. The part that is conscious or "our self" is run similarly to a computer on a neural network, and we are only aware of the computer part, while the rest is dark to most of us. Some meditaters can access deep functions such as controlling their body heat, heart rate or brain wave activity. A lot of implicit but important patterns are formed in the unconscious parts and while our conscious minds lulls us into believing that we know what we are doing; this is an illusion.
Become Bigger than Fear, Listen to your Conscience and Be Authentic
According to Dr. Peterson, becoming a fully realized person is supremely important. An actualized individual is a powerful force that, "when they say no all of society stops". He cites Nelson Mandela and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (who wrote the Gulag Archipelago which helped bring down the Soviet Union) as fully actualized individuals. A fully realized personality is powerful enough to stop lying in the face of tyranny and bring it down. Lesser personalities cave to tyranny and can commit horrible acts in the name of following orders. This personality is essentially the highest mode of being and an excellent goal to be aimed at.
The way to become this personality, according to Dr. Peterson, is to become bigger than fear by facing it. Hiding from fear causes the creation of a weak personality while facing fear creates a courageous one. This is important because one needs to have courage to face the big problems that challenge humanity, while being a small, vulnerable human being.
Another important way to develop a stronger personality is to listen to your conscience. Your conscience is a pretty good, though fallible, guide to what will expand your personality. So, if your conscience is bugging you a bit about something in particular, do it.
It is extremely important to be authentic to create a deeply resilient personality. Dr. Peterson suggests watching your actions and your words for a week and figure out how much of what you do and say is yourself. It is possible to feel a sort of internal rift when you say something other than what you truly believe. If, however, you communicate from this place of deep authenticity, people listen and pay attention.
To be sure, many different systems of thought have a highest sort of personality to be aimed at however there are commonalities that include Dr. Peterson's ideas. Buddhism has the enlightened being and the Dalai Lama is certainly a powerful person within Dr. Peterson's criteria.
I have learned a lot from Dr. Peterson. I often learn gain new insights by going over the same material again, such as his videos online. I want to continue to learn more and more from him that can help me to live my life in a better way.
28 Responses to "What Jordan Peterson Taught Me"
Thanks, it was a good read.
i recently saw a lecture by Jordan Peterson on TVO's program Big Ideas. enamoured with his perspective on reality i came to the internet to find more and here i am. really enjoyed this article and am delighted to find this website with hours and hours of reading!
have you read his book, Maps of Meaning? the title may not be exactly correct. i'm just wondering how academic it is, and whether a layperson such as myself would find it accessible.
Heard him lecture on big ideas on TVO last week. Enjoyed reading your blog. Would love to learn more from his teachings.
Thank you
thanks for the link – most kind of you!
I enjoyed reading this. It is refreshing to hear these ideas through fresh phrasing.
My friends and I have developed our little micro-fan-club for JBP after he pulled those lovely and traumatic paradigm shifts on all of us at U of T. So we google him every so often.
"Peacemaking among higher order primates" is my favourite article he's written (and its GOOGLE-ABLE) but for the newbies, I would recommend this video-lecture:
One reason JBP's lectures/articles helped me so much is that he presented a way of thinking about psychology that enabled me to connect all of the different sub-sections of psychology together. They CAN FIT TOGETHER, and that is very useful for a psychology student. But it goes farther than that. I was not only provided with a reference point for psychology but for so much more: I can't really say I understand the extent of it yet… But I can say this: it actually provided me with a MAP OF MEANING where so much conceptual territory made sense and fit together.
I think the most important way his class changed me was that I really realized that that ideologies will fail as final answers to problems and that instead of arguing which ideology to support, it's individual personality development that we should strive for. For me, this meant that I had to stop living the illusion that my left wing ideology was "THE SOLUTION": instead of trying to persuade others that such-and-such is RIGHT, I needed to work on myself first.
His assigned reading of the chapter "the Soul and Barbed Wire" from the Gulag Archipelago really hit me hard.
I should also say, to whom it may concern, that the way I use the phrase "map of meaning" does not mean the same thing as the title of his book, "maps of meaning."
I am using it to describe how his lessons have given me a reference point or a framework that helps me put many different ideas into an integrated, consistent, meaningful context.
But I think for JBP's book, "Maps of Meaning" refers to the diagrams he uses which illustrate how certain concepts are related territorially to each other.
(Example: Individual inside Great-Father inside Great-Mother inside Chaos)
dunno if my last comment got through.
here goes again:
Just to avoid misunderstandings:
In my comment above, I used the phrase "map of meaning" differently than Jordan Peterson uses it in the title of his book.
I used it to describe how, after taking his courses, I had a reference point or framework that helped me make sense of a lot of different things (science, religion, politics, neuroscience, humanities, etc).
The title of his book seems to refer to the use of the diagrams which help illustrate the relationships between fundamental elements of meaning or "the architecture of belief" as he says.
I enjoyed your thoughts. I think that everything can be summarized by simply realizing that since we are all equal in our humanity, we all deserve, crave and need to deliver respect to others. Only true respect can defeat resentment…it is the key to not only peace, but also understanding.
Hi there, I hope my post is taken as a reasonable constuctive criticism. I find the lectures I have watched of this guy to be extremely long winded and full of false logic which I think can be easily and successfully argued against. An example of a long winded waffle is at the beginning of his lecture on the nature of evil. It takes him around 15 minutes to describe the difference between "evil" and a "tragedy". Surely a dictionary would suffice. I will give my description in one sentence – tragedies are accidental, evil is intentional. Please point out if you disagree. If I accidentally crash my car and kill someone it's a tragedy; if I deliberately run someone over you could say it is evil. He then goes on to talk about evil as some kind of actual real thing that exists. Surely evil is just a construct of the human mind. If there were no people left on earth would evil exist? No, only a human brain can look at an event and DESCRIBE it as evil, a bit like other human constructs like justice and of course good. You could say the same thing – justice does not exist without human minds to judge something as just or unjust. Obviously I can't go on all night questioning and rebutting, but I feel I could with this guy. I'll just say finally that I find the comments about reason to be utterly ridiculous. It sounds as though the author of the above believes that we may be able to somehow overdose on reason. Yes the enlightenment happened 400 years ago and people survived before that BUT not as well, as long or with such great odds!! I believe the best cure for this kind of romantic atavism is to watch the highly entertaining series hosted by Balderick from Blackadder called "Worst Jobs" I think you may then find a renewed appreciation for the enlightenment and the hundreds of tireless, brave geniuses who suffered and were often mocked or even tortured for their original and heretical discoveries which allow us to lead lives more comfortable than the richest of ancient kings.
As a last challenge perhaps someone would like to think of a situation in life where it would be against ones best interests to apply reason or a rational approach – I can't think of a single one.
Hi Martin.
You are unreasonable and irrational!
I hope my post is taken as a reasonable constuctive criticism.
Hi Will,
I will certainlly take your criticism as reasonable if you could first elaborate and clarify, untill you do that I don't see it as constructive. If you are saying that my notions of what is rational and irrational are rendered null and void by the fact that they are the products of a primate brain created through the process of natural selection which results in minds which are necessarily equipped to survive and replicate rather than minds which are equipped to know any real truths about anything, then I can accept that. Anyway, please elaborate.
You want me to elaborate? But before you said "surely a dictionary would suffice!"
I hope you have a dictionary…
Ok, so I think you've elaborated enough to show that you're not interested in any intelligent discussion. I guess I should go discuss the work of someone who actually has some true insights into the human mind like Stephen Pinker. Have you read 'The stuff of thought' and The blank Slate'? I have to say that Petersen really hasn't caused any paradigm shifts in my understanding.
Too bad — for you!
Ok, so I think you've elaborated enough to show that you're not interested in any intelligent discussion.
The impression you made in your first post was that of an arrogant grudge-maker. Why would anyone want to have an intelligent discussion with that type of person? I'm showing you yourself by copying all of the stuff you say and shoving it back in your face.
Maybe you're not an arrogant grudge-maker, but you see, that is the IMPRESSION you made. Did I elaborate enough?
Will, I have read my initial post again and am confused as to how you coulld possibly see it as arrogant or "grudge-making". I know that it's often hard to expect intelligent and fair argument on internet blogs and forums but, my post starts by trying to establish that it is meant to be taken constructively and not offensively. I then go on to give some brief examples of what I disagree with and back what I say up. Never did I personally attack anyone or not back up my opinions.
The reason I asked you to elaborate was that it was difficult to tell whether you had some actual point in mind or you were just plain shit talking when you responded in a few words that aren't even a complete sentence.
So, the bal'ls back in your court. You obviously have some objection to my criticisms, brief as they were, so lets thresh it out. Repond to my points and tell me what I am missing so that I may reach a better understanding. That was, arterall, the reason I took time to post.
I would like some discussion over the points made in the above essay about the use of reason. After my first post I lay in bed that night trying to think of situations where it would not be beneficial to apply reason. I actually did come up with a couple of situations in which you could argue that what most of us would consider to be the right choice might not seem reasonable from an objective point of view but these would amount to a very tiny portion of human experience.
Martin, the most recent comment of yours was a nice comment. I'd like to discuss that with you. I'll respond soon, if you'd like.
Hello, I'm a philosophy student who's taken a few courses with Dr. Peterson and have read his book, Maps of Meaning. I came across this blog from a Google search on the Hancock leecture and was moved to respond to Martin's comment, as I feel pretty strongly about the topic of evil.
In relation to tragedy vs. evil, I think Peterson provides a definition as an introduction to the topic, not as a point of insight. His actual point is more theoretical and it does actually take quite a bit of time to explain (and definitely more than 15 minutes to completely understand). I will do my best to briefly summarize what I understood from his lectures and writings. Just to note, Peterson draws heavily from existentialism and philosophers such as Nietzsche and to some extent Heidegger, the Russian writers Solzhenitsyn and Dostoevsky as well as the psychoanalyst Carl Jung. So these ideas are not entirely his own and are not unsupported in the wider community. To understand where he's coming from completely, I recommend reading his book.
So anyway, back to tragedy and evil. I believe Peterson claims that tragedy is something that cannot be avoided, and is in fact, necessary for our existence as human beings. Evil, on the other hand, is something that comes from us (is intentional, like you said) and that can be avoided if we make moral decisions. Tragedy is a result of the fact that we are limited and therefore vulnerable. But being limited is a necessity of existence, or at least our existence as we know it. I personally can't really imagine how some one thing can exist without limits, at the very least in time and in space. Anyway, I think he also mentions that tragedy can corrupt people, and in the extreme make someone evil (or at least commit evil acts). Therefore tragedy is also connected to evil.
I think an example would best illustrate the point: A kid crossing the street gets hit by a drunk driver ignoring traffic lights. Kid is badly crippled from the encounter. The tragedy here is from the kid's side, that he got hit by the car. It resulted because we are limited (don't have super senses to notice the car, don't have super reflexes to jump out of the way, aren't made of something powerful and unable to be broken by cars) and therefore vulnerable (able to be badly hurt). There is irresponsibility (and possibly corruption) on the side of the driver because he put himself in a position where he drank and had access to a car (not to mention he actually did take the car while drunk), so on the driver's side this isn't a tragedy as it could've been avoided. Continuing the story, let's say the kid now grows up angry and resentful due to his inabilities (further vulnerability) to live a normal life and his envy of other kids who do. He spends his time on the internet successfully convincing suicidal or depressed users on a forum to commit suicide. This is an act of evil because the kid could have chosen a different life for himself: he could maybe have joined a charity to help victims of drunk drivers or participated in groups dedicated to prevention of drunk driving, etc. Of course, you can take a deterministic view of it and say the kid had no choice but to become the online murderer based on what happened to him, but that's a whole different conversation which then also brings free will and determinism into question – and that requires extensive discussion.
About your comment that evil is a construct of the human mind. I think Peterson would acknowledge that as true on one level. If you look at it from an extreme rational view, yes, there is no evil because pure logic has no place for emotional and value-based judgments. But that's exactly why we can't rely on extreme rationality to survive. Not to mention that the way we normally act is not rational/logical – acting rationally would take an extreme amount of effort I think (e.g. we're highly emotional, we have a strong sense of right and wrong, we do (and even like) things we objectively know are bad for us, etc). Eugenics is an example of how extreme rationality clashes with our morality. If you think about it from a pure logic perspective (which doesn't allow for value-based judgments like right and wrong), why not get rid of the weak, sickly, extra vulnerable, ugly etc in order to make our society more ideal? (And ideal would of course be whatever the ruling majority considers ideal for whatever arbitrary reason). Plato makes a pretty logical argument for eugenics in the Republic if I remember it correctly.
Finally, I think Peterson definitely wouldn't say that rationality is bad, avoid at all costs! Rationality is a tool that we use in order to survive. It is necessary and can be very beneficial (as you've pointed out, part of the reason we now live better than kings from the past is due to technology) but elevating it to god-like status as the be-all and end-all of all truth is dangerous (Peterson also writes extensively about how extreme rationality is related to nihilism, the inability to see good in life, corruption, bad decisions, etc). And on a quick related note, other than emotion and value-based judgments, rationality can't really explain other large chunks of reality (which rely on emotion and value-based judgments) except by saying that they're irrational (which isn't an explanation)! e.g. the pull of art, drama, music.
I hope I've provided a satisfactory answer to some of your questions. I can see that there is a lot more I could add and clarify but it would require way too much time on my part. For example, in his book Peterson clarifies what he means by rationality, what he means by truth, how meaning is built and destroyed in everyday life, how people can become evil, etc etc. He also talks about the important role of mythology and narratives, as well as art. As you can see that's a pretty wide range of topics, and the only way to understand them to a satisfactory degree is to read his book and/or published articles. Again, these ideas are not entirely his own (I don't want to give him overdue credit) but more of a compilation of ideas from philosophy, literature, and science with his own views added in. If you're interested in his ideas on evil, I would also recommend reading Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago.

"If, however, you communicate from this place of deep authenticity, people listen and pay attention"
What do you know?? It worked! It was a great read, thank you.
Regarding evil, read Hannah Arendt. The "banality of evil" is not intentional evil, in fact one might argue nobody intentionally seeks to commit evil.
Regarding reason, I would suggest checking out John Ralston Saul's "The Unconscious Civilization" or "Voltaire's Bastards." Or Heidegger's "The Question Concerning Technology," but you don't seem like the type to appreciate that sort of text. However, if you can accept that humanity is currently greatly endangered by technology, and technological thinking, which amount to the dominance of reasoned calculation above the other aspects of thinking that were considered necessary by the Greeks (ie. Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, Book IV, where he discusses the five different modes of thought), you might begin to understand why reason is not a sufficient tool to get us out of some of these messes we have created for ourselves.

Shortly after President Trump's inauguration in January, he appointed Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court of the United States, believing he was a fair jurist and the most well fit for the lifetime position. Ever since the appointment, Democrats have tried to block his confirmation. Many have speculated that they are retaliating for Senate Republican's failure to give Merrick Garland a confirmation hearing after former President Obama appointed him to Justice Scalia's open seat last March. With Senate Democrats threatening a filibuster of the vote on Gorsuch, Republicans have threatened to take advantage of the "nuclear option." Here's what it is, and what you need to know.
The nuclear option is a parliamentary procedure allowing the Senate to override a rule or precedent with a simple majority. The Senate's presiding officer rules that the validity of a Senate rule or precedent is a constitutional question, which takes the issue to the full Senate, deciding by majority vote.
Currently, the minority party may filibuster a Supreme Court nominee's confirmation vote, requiring 60 votes to end the filibuster. The nuclear option would allow the Senate to vote and decide, any issue, even a filibuster, with 51 votes. If they take advantage of the nuclear option, Gorsuch's Supreme Court confirmation would require only 51 votes. This means Senate Republicans could end a filibuster and confirm Gorsuch with a simple majority.
RELATED: 6 Things To Know About Donald Trump's Pick For SCOTUS, Judge Neil Gorsuch
Currently, Republicans hold 52 seats in the Senate, making the nuclear option a plausible threat to Senate Democrats. Their power as minority party lies in their ability to filibuster a confirmation, which Majority Leader Senator McConnell has vowed to change should Democrats try to do so. Senator Schumer has promised to filibuster Gorsuch's confirmation.
The last time the nuclear option was used was in 2013 by then Majority Leader Harry Reid. Democrats held a majority, but not a supermajority, much like Republicans today. In this exercise, Democrats changed Senate rules so that federal judicial nominees and executive office appointments can move to confirmation votes with a simple majority of 51 votes, instead of a 60 vote supermajority. This nearly ensured that any president with a majority in the Senate would have their nominees approved. However, this change did not apply to Supreme Court nominees.
Should Senate Republicans take advantage of the nuclear option in this circumstance, it would change Senate proceedings on Supreme Court nominees for years to come, making the confirmation of Supreme Court Justices a simple majority vote, thus stripping the minority party of their power in confirmation.
As of March 30th, two Democratic Senators, Manchin of West Virginia and Heitkamp of North Dakota, have expressed support of Gorsuch. Senator Manchin said "I hold no illusions that I will agree with every decision Judge Gorsuch may issue in the future, but I have not found any reasons why this jurist should not be a Supreme Court Justice." Senator Heitkamp echoed saying she was taught that "two wrongs don't make a right" and "regardless of which party is in the White House, the U.S. Supreme Court should be above politics." Republicans are hoping to sway a few more Democrats their way in the coming days to prevent using the nuclear option, and altering Senate rules.
RELATED: The Path To Confirming Neil Gorsuch, The SCOTUS Nominee To Fill Scalia's Seat
As of now the Senate is scheduled to vote to confirm Gorsuch on April 7th, giving Republicans another week to gain allies, and secure votes from Democrats. Keep watching the news to see if Republicans take advantage of the nuclear option, and to see what it will mean for the future of the Supreme Court and our republic.

The greater community of Los Alcarrizos was formed between the years 1970 and 1972. The president at that time, Joaquín Balaguer, developed great urban projects and ordered massive forced evictions in various neighbourhoods of Santo Domingo. Those people were relocated to this community. Then immigrants who came for different reasons were also integrated. The largest growth of population occurred in 1979 with the construction of "Los Barrancones" to respond to the victims who, following the passage of Hurricane David, were left without homes in different parts of Santo Domingo.
Renacer grew out of a summer Bible school that was given in the home of Mrs. Juana Maria Gomez in the year 1978 in response to a need of the community for a Christian education center which would give service at low cost. In September of the same year Nuevo Renacer (New Rebirth) was opened in her home by a young, motivated high school graduate named Alejandrina Peguero who began teaching the first and second grades of elementary school with an enrollment of 17 children. Families were charged a fee of 2 pesos per student, of which the teacher took 25 pesos and the 9 remaining for Mrs. Gomez. The home was made of wood and cardboard.
In September of the year 1984, the school was assumed by the Christian Reformed Schools under the supervision of the missionary Gladys Brinks as coordinator,teacher Alejandrina Peguero and additional teachers Mr. Juan Santana and Catalina Vizcaino. Every year they added grades and employed new teachers until the pre-school and elementary levels were completed.
Currently, the enrollment is around 350 students and the school employs 28 educators and other support staff.
With praise to God they have seen how the center is growing in size and in quality, and witness with thankfulness the testimony of the parents and guardians of their children. This makes the staff at Renacer feel satisfied with the work that they are doing. To date, the center offers the full three levels (pre-school, elementary and high school). Their aim is to continue serving the community and to achieve the dream of offering technical education so that their graduates can obtain better skills preparation.
"To serve children in the present with comprehensive Christian education guarantees that we will have the best men and women who will serve their communities in the future."
This school has undergone a fantastic transformation over the past years. It has gone from being a difficult, troublesome school to one of the highest-performing ones in the entire COCREF organization. Their very active principal, Lisbet, has played a large role in this transformation.
In this community there are no other Christian schools and the parents prefer Christian education for their children. One of the reasons this school is special is that they work with a Christian worldview which makes them more sensitive to the difficulties of their students. The staff is concerned about each one of them, not only the educational part but also in the emotional, familial and in all that they observe in which the student is involved, to congratulate them in positive aspects and to advise them in negative ones. They understand that what makes this school special is this rapport with the students and their families: teachers and friends at the same time.

Dear MoveOn member,
Great news—more than 216,000 people signed our petition calling on President Obama to commit to vetoing the Bush tax cuts for the 1%.
Now there's a new way for us to get a direct response from the White House. President Obama has created "We the People," an online system for people to petition the administration directly.1 They've committed to respond to any petition with 25,000 signatures or more, and have done so several times.
That's why we're going directly online to the White House to get an answer from the President. We created a "We the People" petition, with the same text as the MoveOn petition you signed, insisting that President Obama commit to vetoing the Bush tax cuts for the 1%.
We need 25,000 people to sign the new "We the People" version of the petition this week in order to guarantee a response to the petition from the White House. Will you sign?
The President has responded to popular "We the People" petitions that have mirrored MoveOn campaigns in the past, including the student loan reform campaign. In that case, a MoveOn member created a petition that generated hundreds of thousands of signatures, and then those people signed the same petition again on "We the People."2
If enough of us who care deeply about restoring fairness to our tax code by making the 1% pay their fair share of taxes quickly sign and share this petition, we'll get a real, substantive response from the president. This is one of the best ways we can push the president to make a firm commitment to vetoing the Bush tax cuts for the 1%.
Thanks for all you do.

Just how much Does it Truly Cost to Replace Your Furnace?
With the severe cold, we have actually been overloaded with phone calls asking what does a new furnace cost? While it's difficult to figure out one specific price, listed below we provide numerous variables to think about in order to make an extra informed selection when confronted with changing your heater.
Exactly what's Your Power Resource?
The initial point to think about is where the power for your heating system comes from. One of the most usual kinds of heating systems are powered by gas, which vary from $2,000 to $5,000 (relying on performance and size). If your house is all electrical, you will certainly more than likely have a heat pump-air handler system. The heatpump is the exterior system that operates like an air conditioner throughout the summer season, however turns around and also is the main heating resource throughout the winter season. The air handler is the interior component of the system, and also will have a back-up "emergency" heat resource that could be costly to run. Heat pump systems could vary from $5,000– $15,000 depending upon size and system efficiency.
Exactly how Efficient are Your Heater Options?
Heating systems with greater AFUE (Annual Fuel Unit Efficiency) are much more effective, yet will additionally set you back even more in the beginning. The more use the heating system sees, the quicker you will certainly see a return on your investment, and also at some point will have invested much less as a result of the lowered operating expenses.
Heater efficiency is ranked by percentages, with typical performance systems ranked at 80 percent– suggesting 20 percent of the heat being created escapes through the flue. More recent designs have obtained a ranking of 90 percent or much better, with some getting to 98 percent performance– causing reduced energy expenses.
Just what is the size of your heater?
Gas heaters have a heat output that is gauged in British Thermal Systems (BTUs). Systems with a greater BTU ranking typically aren't always much better for smaller sized residences, since they could reach your target temperature level too quickly, then shut down. This variance could boost your power expense dramatically. Solitary gas heaters usually begin around 40,000 BTUs and run as high as 135,000 BTUs. When a residence size surpasses around 5,000 square feet (in some instances even smaller sized), the residence would certainly adjust to having 2 systems as opposed to having the biggest system.
What Does Installation Cost?
Photo by 401(K) 2013
This is totally based on the brand name of heater you opt to install, and also the heating and cooling service provider you employ. Commonly, a heating system installment will certainly take most of a day. The majority of household cooling and heating professionals will certainly have a 2 individual team do the setup. Usually, the labor expense composes about fifty percent of the total cost for the installment. Furthermore, if the heating and cooling specialist discovers that you require any kind of repair services on ductwork or various other elements of your device, setup expenses might increase.
These 4 factors will certainly impact the expense of setting up a brand-new heater:
The Brand name
This is totally dependent on your spending plan. Once we comprehend your scenario much better, we could make a solid suggestion for which heater brand name functions best for you. Premium brand names will substantially raise the price of your replacement heater, and also may not be needed for lasting results.
Updated Qualities
Unless you reside in locations that experience extreme winter temperature levels, there is no need to add a bunch of features. Most have whatever they require in order to warm your residence.
Location of the Heating system
If your heating system is located in a hard area to get to in your house, the setup time could take much longer, which will certainly raise your price.
Cooling and Heating Specialist
Do your research on cooling and heating service providers, speak to them face to face or over the phone and obtain answers to all your inquiries regarding the replacement of your furnace. This will certainly provide you satisfaction understanding that your service provider is reliable and also doing his/her finest to benefit your home.
Tip from the Pros: Be sure to obtain a written, signed warranty from your cooling and heating professional. Make certain that it defines specifically just what is covered, the length of time you are covered, as well as exactly what the professional will really do to deal with any type of concerns you might experience.
The national range for a heating system setup is $2,500– $6,000; nonetheless, this differs according to all the elements detailed above. One of the most vital actions you could take when preparing to change your heater is research study. Home Adviser provides a wonderful resource which outlines the typical heating system replacement prices depending upon your postal code.
Effective Research will help you Replace Your Furnace
Keep these guidelines in mind if you are considering replacing your current heating and cooling system in your home. Locating the appropriate installation professional is key to finding the correct system for your home as they will know what to look for in determining the right system for you, however, the more you know, the more comfortable you will feel with your choice.

Last weekend we took my family to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. We had such lovely weather, what better way to spend a day. The botanical gardens there are so great, it takes a whole day to go through. It is a great place to take pictures, so we had our cameras and were inspired by all of the beautiful plants and flowers that are in season.
Here is my mom and dad enjoying the walk in the woodland canopy section of the gardens.
We saw a little mallard in the sunshine. He is by the fountain.
My favorite are these garden gnomes!
And here is the edible garden. This part is really neat.
We saw this little guy taking a rest on this fennel plant. Cute!

Sexual harassment is merely another form of sex discrimination, and when it occurs in the workplace, it is a violation of federal and Florida law. Sexual harassment can involve any type of unwelcome sexual behavior, whether it is in the form of a sexual favor request, a sexual advance or any other physical or verbal action of a sexual nature.
There are typically two types of sexual harassment prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964:
- Quid pro quo sexual harassment: This occurs when your boss, supervisor or manager requests a sexual favor in return for a benefit at work, including a promotion, raise, better job assignment or simply to keep your job. Generally, to prove quid pro quo sexual harassment, you will need to show that 1) your supervisor harassed you, 2) the harassment/sexual request was unwelcome and 3) some aspect of your employment was contingent on your response to the sexual request.
- Hostile work environment harassment: This occurs when unwanted sexual attention or conduct is severe or pervasive enough to make working conditions so bad that any reasonable person would find the workplace intimidating, offensive or hostile. This type of sexual harassment can include instances in which co-workers engage in unwanted sexual behavior or constantly make sexual jokes that interfere with your work performance. Degrading or patronizing behavior may also qualify as sexual harassment.
In many cases, you may not even realize that you might be a victim of sexual harassment, which is why it is often best to speak with an experienced employment law attorney.
At The Amlong Firm, our lawyers are committed to helping women fight sexual harassment. You should not have to go to work every day and fear unwanted sexual advances or inappropriate sexual conduct from your managers and co-workers.
Contact us today and learn how we can help you end the harassment. You can reach us online or call us at 954-519-2235 or 877-367-4440. From our Fort Lauderdale office, we help workers from all over South Florida deal with sexual harassment and hostile work environment claims.

River state native soup is one of my favorite Nigerian soup, it happens to be my favorite native soup.
You can follow either my written instruction or the embedded video at the bottom of the page, I make videos for the majority of my recipes on this site.
I grew up in River state Nigeria, did both my primary and secondary education in a very popular part of the state. During this time, I tasted almost every indigenous food and also learned to make quite a number of them. The good thing is that they share similar recipes with the Igbos.
So if you are dating an Ikwerre guy or married to a man/woman from River State Nigeria you can go ahead and serve him/her some of our Igbo foods on this page.
Let's get back to the topic of the day, River state native soup… here goes… Gbam!!!
Frankly, I can't give a detailed account of the origin of this soup but what I do know is that it is very popular in River state and it is served in major restaurants and eateries. Although, they avoid some of the expensive ingredients like stock fish, ngolo and shrimps.
For some reason I just like to try new recipes once they appealed to me, I like to ask questions and try them out in my own kitchen, that is perhaps the reason I have learned to make virtually all the Foods Eaten In Nigeria.
How To Make River State Native Soup
Below are the ingredients for making the popular native soup in River state Nigeria, like I always assert; the ingredients would serve about 6×2 people, you can increase or decrease the quantity of each ingredient depending on the number people would be eating your food.
You can make this soup as simple as possible, if you can't find the ngolo and prowns where you live, you can leave them out. I can't find the english name for Ngolo, is it clams?
- 1KG of meat
- 10 pieces of stock fish ear (nti okporoko)
- 2 cups of sliced uziza leaves
- 2 medium size dry fish
- Cocoa yam as thickener (see image)
- 15-20cl of palm oil
- 2-3 cubes of maggi or knorr
- 1-2 cups of periwinkles
- 1-2 cups of ngolo
- 1 cup of ground crayfish
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- two handful of fresh prowns
- 2 spoons of ofor (alternative thickener)
What you find above is a plate containing Ngolo, Periwinkles (isam) and prowns, the exact way they are sold in Nigerian markets. You can purchase them from every major Nigerian markets, especially in the states sorrounded by water.
The cocoayam should be about 1KG, the ofor serves as alternative thickener (incase the cocoayam didn't thicken the soup), in most cases, you wouldn't use it (the ofor)
How to Prepare Nigerian Native soupYou might wanna start by parboiling the shrimps, wash and parboil with a small pot, add half cup of water, a cube of maggi and a pinch of salt, allow to boil for up to 5 minutes, remove the head and set aside in a clean plate.
I like to start by parboiling the meat with all the necessary ingredients, most cooks forget that parboiling the meat and obtaining the stock (water left after parboiling) is an important part of Nigerian cooking process.
I like to parboil the meat with just 2 cubes of maggi, 1 bulb of onions, salt and maybe a sachet of onga classic (a very popular Nigerian spice for soup). My choice of meat is hard to cook, takes about 50-60 minutes before you commence with the rest of the cooking.
Step 2
Use this time to prepare the other ingredients; wash and slice the uziza leaves.
Soak the stock fish and dry fish with boiled water and wash thoroughly to remove sand and center bone. Grind the crayfish and fresh pepper also, you can grind together or grind separately.
Step 3
Add the washed dry fish/stock fish in the boiling meat on fire, after about 30-50 minutes of cooking just the meat. Once they are soft and the water is almost dried (about 1 cup left) add about 5-7 cups of water, palm oil and the ground crayfish. This step was visually demonstrated in the video below, so if you like watching better than reading you can scroll down to see the video.
Allow the soup to cook for another ten minutes before adding salt to taste, a cube of maggi. Maggi is a natural food sweetener, used in making almost all the {foods eaten in Nigeria} you can refer to our ingredients catalogue for an in-depth understanding of all the ingredients used in making Nigerian foods.
Step 4
Add the washed/cleaned ngolo, stir, add the cocoayam, allow to dissolve in 8-10 minutes, if it is still very watery you can add a spoon of ofor, cook for three minutes before adding the periwinkles, prown and sliced uziza leaves which is likely the last ingredient while making River state native soup.
Allow to simmer for another five minutes and you just made Nigerian's most popular native soup.
The video is that of an earlier version of this soup, it should give you a clue as to how to make river state native soup, I used ofor as the thickener instead of cocoayam; I also ommited the ngolo.

New Delhi, Oct 3 (IANS) With a focus on women entrepreneurs, the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) will be jointly inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and advisor to the US President Ivanka Trump at Hyderabad on November 28, it was announced here on Tuesday.
The three-day summit — with the theme "Women first, prosperity for all" — would this year focus on the tremendous potential women bring to entrepreneurship, the Niti Aayog said in a statement.
A high-level delegation of the US government, led by Ivanka Trump, daughter of US President Donald Trump, met officials at the Niti Aayog here to plan the summit, which is an annual gathering of emerging entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders from around the world.
The summit "will create an environment that empowers innovators, particularly women, to take their ideas to the next level", the statement said.
"Women represent tremendous promise for economic growth and prosperity — but in both developing and developed countries, they also face tremendous barriers to building businesses," it added.
The summit is expected to be attended by over 1,600 delegates, including entrepreneurs and investors and CEOs of major knowledge-based industries from across the world.
Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said it is a unique opportunity for Indian startups and innovators to interact and network with the finest entrepreneurs of the world.
"We need to harness technology to solve some of the most pressing problems in healthcare delivery, education, energy, safe drinking water and agriculture, among others, for the benefit of communities at large.
"Innovation and entrepreneurship will play a decisive role towards this end. I am sure this will be a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to interact with the best," he said.
Jennifer Arangio, Senior Director at the National Security Council at the White House, said the event would highlight the Trump administration's commitment to the principle that "when women are economically empowered, communities and countries thrive".
"Hosting GES in India is a signature of the broad and enduring partnership between our two countries. We thank our co-host, the Indian government, for their support, energy and hospitality, and look forward to a high-impact summit that brings together ground-breaking US entrepreneurs and investors with their counterparts from around the world," she said.
Niti Aayog and the US Embassy are planning a series of "Road to GES" events in collaboration with different agencies to generate enthusiasm and attract the attention of different stakeholders, the statement said.

Edible Baja Arizona, the bimonthy magazine that covers food south of the Gila River, has suspended print publication. The magazine is part of Edible Communities, a network of scores of publications that cover the food cultures of specific areas, with focuses ranging from Brooklyn to the Iowa River Valley to Phoenix. The stoppage is temporary and, Edible Baja emphasizes, limited to print.
Digital publications will continue.
"Rumors of our demise have been greatly exaggerated," Douglas Biggers, editor and publisher, wrote in a post to the publication's Facebook. "Although we are dealing with some financial turbulence, the magazine is very much alive."
Biggers notes a few of Edible Baja's accomplishments, linking Tucson's designation as the United States' first UNESCO City of Gastronomy to the magazine's efforts.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

Biggers notes that he and his team plan to reposition the magazine. His hope is that print operations will once again resume once the ship's course has been adjusted. He writes: "We look forward to updating everyone as we determine the best way for the mission of the magazine to continue in 2018 and beyond."

Below are links to the artists work and videos which were included or referenced in my talk, Materials, Methods & Process, presented at the Tenth International Encaustic Conference this weekend in beautiful Provincetown, MA.
Many thanks to the wonderful people who attended the lecture and participated in the lively discussion afterward. I am grateful for all of you.
To understand what is meant by the word process is simply to define it and and then apply this definition to the making of art.
Process is simply defined as a series of actions and artists who use process in their work seem to posses a strong sense of connection to their materials. Despite this connection, there always remains a struggle over control between the maker and the material. It is within this struggle and acquiescence, that, In some cases may serve as a catalyst for new discoveries. One reason is that process eliminates the burden of decision making and over thinking the work, therefore allowing the artist to move freely within simple confines to explore the inherent properties of their materials in new and exciting ways.

When you repeat an action again and again, you produce an effect of certainty or security in the viewers mind. You are not trying discover something or convince yourself. You're dealing with certainty then as a formal concern and that soothes the viewer.

Ovulation Induction – Gonadotropins
Fertinex, Follistim, Gonal-F, Pergonal, and Repronex – These compounds are human hormones produced by the pituitary gland (LH and FSH) and are used to stimulate ovarian follicular development.
They can be urinary, meaning they are extracted from the urine of postmenopausal women; or recombinant, meaning they are produced by bacteria that are genetically altered to produce LH and FSH specifically.
These drugs can't be ingested orally, and are therefore administered by injection. Fertinex, Follistim, and Gonal-F are given subcutaneously. Pergonal, and Repronex are given intramuscularly.
Injections usually begin on day 3 of the menstrual cycle and continue for several days until the developing follicles are approximately 16-20 millimeters in diameter. Daily dosage, and the length of time needed for adequate stimulation, varies from patient to patient, and from cycle to cycle. Most patients will receive injections for 7-8 days.
During the stimulation with these gonadotropins patients are monitored closely with ultrasounds and estradiol levels.
These compounds are used in women who do not ovulate, or did not respond to clomiphene citrate(CC), or to produce multiple follicles for insemination or an ART procedure such as in vitro fertilization.
An injection of hCG is given to cause ovulation when ultrasound and estrogen measurements indicate appropriate follicular development. All of these compounds are excreted from the body and will leave no long lasting effects on the menstrual cycle. Remember these hormones are naturally produced by the pituitary gland, they are chemically the same, they are not synthetic (man-made) like CC. Dosages are adjusted based upon a myriad of factors, including but not limited to the patient's response to treatment, age, appearance of her ovaries, and her medical diagnosis.
Potential other side effects can include: ovarian cysts, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, bloating, weight gain (usually mild), irritation at the injection site, and multiple births.
Multiple births occur about 20 to 25% of the time.
Failure to adequately monitor and adjust dosage can lead to a very serious condition, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). This syndrome is characterized by ovarian enlargement, followed by abdominal pain, abdominal distention, weight gain, circulatory problems, sometimes requiring hospitalization. OHSS can be very serious. Therefore once a patient start on a regimen of gonadotropins it is very important that they follow the physician and nurse coordinator's instructions.

text: It is said that the gods of the dead demand you ritualistically commit to each intensely hot beat of the ceremonial drum. Now, here, is the music for their celebration of death, music to dance together with, to oblivion, a music both spectacular and ecstatic where, like never before, the spirits of Santer=C3=ADa and Voudou mix with raw electricity into burning diabolical polyrhythms. Festival of the Dead is without doubt the most potent distillation yet of Cut Hands' malign percussive energy, with pieces like "The Claw" and "Vaudou Take Me High" leading the irresistible polyrhythmic assault in pursuit of one thing: a final rapturous celebration of oblivion. Written and produced by William Bennett.

Meet Logan. He loves baseball, loves to laugh and loves his friends. It is Logan's community that has gathered after the 9-year-old was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma brain cancer in May. This moment of gathering has made a difference for Logan's family, who has taken days off from work to take the courageous youngster to his daily radiation treatments.
Enter Jacob Tepper and Sam Gioia, Logan's best friends. The young men were hit with sadness upon hearing the news of their buddy's diagnosis. Instead of allowing sadness to win, the boys became determined to show Logan the community support and love he deserved. Logan's Heroes was born.
Two boys gathered a community and made a difference across the nation. With the help of their committed parents, development and time went into a website to take donations and teach the nation more about Logan's path. A link to that site can be found below.
The young family never saw the illness coming. Logan – up until his diagnosis – was a normal, healthy and happy little boy. The family, as can be imagined, was hit hard emotionally, mentally and financially. The community website states, "As much as we wish it were possible, we cannot speed Logan's recovery. What we can do is bring a smile with thoughtful gifts and cards, and we can bring financial relief."
Mothers Irene Tepper and Joanna Gioia took a moment to reflect on the path their sons have taken on. Gioia stated "[Logan] could be any one of our own children. Our children have so many questions to how to handle cancer with their friend."
Gioia shares a real concern. Much too often, parents sit back and enjoy the lives of their child's happiness and tribulation but are never fully prepared for such world changing announcements, such as a young friend diagnosed with cancer. Gioia hopes that, with Logan's Heroes, children can now understand not to be scared but, instead, to reach out and help one another.
Tepper agrees and shares, "I received a phone call from a police officer and he expressed how 'taken aback' he was by the mission of two 9-year-old boys." She has been an advocate of helping Logan's family with young Jacob. Jacob and Sam decided to create a front yard event consisting of a bake sale and bike car wash. One share of the event on Facebook made it an instant event to attend. The boys had set a goal of $50 from their endeavor.
The dynamic duo's story exploded and the front yard sale expanded into a local Metropark picnic area to hold the amount of people who showed up for a $1 bike wash and tasty treats. Residents from near and far, touched by Logan's story, donated money and baked goods and showed up to offer their support. The $50 target was far surpassed, as the boys were able to turn over $4,600 to Logan's family.
The momentum spurred local WEWS Channel 5 to interview young Jacob and partner Sam. Taking time from their summer vacation to support their best friend seemed natural. The busy pair talked with Guardian Express.
Jacob shared that he and Logan were "science partners," and one day Logan didn't show up. One day turned into several days and Jacob's mom took him aside to explain Logan's diagnosis. Jacob confided how he felt. "It wasn't fair he had to suffer so hard." he said. Best friend Sam agreed. "When my mom told me, I was very sad. Logan had to battle this and it's just so huge."
Two events are approaching to support Logan and his family, while the brave and much loved straight-A student remains in the hospital. The community is gathering for the events and 100 percent of the proceeds will be given to the family:
Summer Camp Kids Car Wash for Logan's familyAugust 2nd 11am-3pm at the North Olmsted Recreation Center 26000 Lorain Rd North Olmsted, Ohio 44070
- August 18th 4pm Logan's Heroes Benefit Dinner and Silent Auction at Journey Community Church Fairview Park, Ohio 44126
The participating families are giving Logan's family peace and asking those who wish to join in the league of Logan's Heroes to visit the site for more information. Two 9-year-old boys took the reigns after being told their best friend was diagnosed with cancer. By showing their love and unselfish attention to bringing Logan happiness, they have created a movement in Ohio and beyond. Gioia says that support for Logan, "exploded overnight" and family, friends, the community and beyond are contacting them to keep the momentum going until Logan is healthy and back home.
A community gathered together to make a difference on a national scale. Logan's Heroes continues to grow. Jacob and Sam want to do so much more for their best friend,so he may rejoin them to play games on the iPod, shoot hoops and, of course, go back to playing baseball; Logan's favorite sport. Sam states, "We want to help Logan. He will always be the same person." Jacob finishes, "we did this because he's our friend." Such sweet simplicity has lead to the greatest heroic path in Northeast Ohio.

Super Series III was probably the least entertaining of the first three Super Series,' but that didn't mean there were some intriguing matchups heading into Super Series III. Hosted by the Qingdao Clipper at the Qingdao Sports Center, Super Series III provided a matchup of the two remaining undefeated teams in the league, which was the main event for fans in Qingdao.
Shenzhen Naja vs. Shanghai Skywalkers
In the first game of the weekend, these two squads were battling to stay legitimate contenders for the China Bowl. After handily defeating the Dalian Dragon Kings in Super Series I, Shenzhen dropped their second straight game on Saturday against the Skywalkers. Shanghai won their second straight game after losing to the Beijing Lions in Super Series I.
Quarterback Shane Austin threw four first half touchdowns for Shanghai. There was CAFL history in this contest, as LaChristopher Lee recorded the first ever kickoff return for a touchdown. Shaun Kauleinamoku caught four touchdowns, and Mike Washington caught three touchdowns for the Skywalkers.
Shanghai almost lost the ball twice on kickoffs. Dwayne Hollis touched the ball on a line drive, pinning the Skywalkers at the one yard line. Then, the ball hit the crossbar before going out of bounds.
Shenzhen quarterback Dak Britt rushed for two touchdowns, including the one that made it a one possession game late in the contest.
Shanghai would prevail, winning 61-48 to reaffirm their status as the "Super Skywalkers." With a second loss, Shenzhen's China Bowl hopes took a severe hit. They'll play the Guangzhou Power, while Shanghai will battle the Qingdao Clipper.
Guangzhou Power vs. Dalian Dragon Kings
The Power played well in Super Series I and Super Series II, but they didn't finish games strong, which resulted in two losses. Dalian was overmatched in their first two games, especially in the second half. In this contest, they were overmatched for the entire game.
Guangzhou annihilated Dalian, 40-7, which kept the Power's China Bowl chances alive.
When star receiver Joe Hills chose not to play for Dalian, everyone knew their production would suffer, but not this much.
Guangzhou jumped out to a 27-0 lead, and Dalian was finally able to score after a Maurice Woodard touchdown at the end of the half. Dalian failed to move the ball down the field, which is why they only scored seven points in what was a 40-7 rout. As expected, Dalian's hope of a China Bowl are out of reach, while Guangzhou will play Shenzhen in a game where both teams try to keep their seasons alive.
Qingdao Clipper vs. Beijing Lions
This game was the main event of Super Series III, and it failed to live up to its billing. In the battled of undefeated teams, Beijing showed who was the better team as they defeated the Clipper, 47-33.
Beijing led 14-0 after the first quarter. This quarter included two fumbles and a touchdown by defensive back James Romain. After two Clipper turnovers and two Collin Taylor touchdowns, Beijing led 35-13 at halftime. Beijing hasn't lost one game, but they've had a problem sustaining leads, especially ones in the second half.
They had the problem again in this game, but it didn't affect them a whole lot. Qingdao would come close to coming back, but Beijing wound up winning 47-33, making them the lone undefeated team in the CAFL. Beijing proved that they are the best team in the league once again on Sunday. They played a full 60 minute game for the most part, and they dominated the Clipper defense. Only time will tell if this team will win the China Bowl.

If this were the men's game, Breanna Stewart would likely be headed for the NBA. In two seasons, she's accomplished just about everything. She's been named the Associated Press National Player of the Year, the United States Basketball Writers National Player of the year, and the the Naismith Award. She remains a finalist for the Wooden Award, and, oh yeah, she's a two-time national champion who has twice earned Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four.
But even before she stepped foot on UConn's campus, Stewart said she was coming to Storrs to win four national titles. She's halfway there and the thought of her only getting better must keep opposing coaches up at night. And she will get better.
"Stewie is talented and she works really hard," said senior Bria Hartley, via SNY.com. "It's just so hard for people to defend her because she can score in so many ways. She's 6-4 and she's able to hit the three, she can drive by you, she will post you up inside. How can you stop someone who can literally do everything on the court? The crazy thing is that she is good now, but just imagine how much better she is going to be the next two years."
And coach Geno Auriemma, who was emotional following the Huskies' championship win Monday night, offered this about the best player in the country.
"I think if Stewie really works at it, and I think she will, if she becomes a much better ballhandler, like she can catch the ball and really go anywhere with it that she wants, I think there will be no guarding her ever, on any level," Auriemma said. "Right now she is kind of a catch-and-shoot player either in the post or on the perimeter. But once she gets to where she just gets the ball and she just goes wherever she wants … If Stewie adds that to her game, then it's over. Then there is no guarding her no matter what."
There are plenty of coaches who might say Stewart is already at that point.
