When going on vacation the last thing you would expect is to come across the local wildlife in close proximity. That is exactly what happened to Chad Morris while he was on vacation with his family in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Ultimately, no one was hurt and the only thing damaged was his vehicle.
Here is the wild tale of Moriss' surprising face-to-face meeting with some local black bears.
A Surprising Discovery
It all started when Morris, from Owensboro, Kentucky, heard his family yelling for him to come outside. Upon walking out he was greeted by the last thing he expected, a family of black bears was crawling in and around his car, which was parked in the driveway with the windows down.
According to Morris, "As soon as I saw them they were walking up to my car and the three cubs hopped in. They saw us standing around taking pictures, but they never bothered us."
The Bears' Curiosity Got the Better of Them
It seems the baby bears couldn't help themselves and had decided to see what this strange object was. They crawled around inside Morris' car, even playing in the driver's seat. One of the bears leaned out the window to take a look.
And while neither human nor animal was harmed in the exchange, the bears did do some damage to Morris' car. The most obvious destruction was a big chunk tore out of the driver's seat and some scratches on the interior. In addition, a football in the car had some claw marks, but all in all not too much damage.
Watched Closely By Mama Bear
The bear cubs' mom watched the whole exchange from nearby. The baby bears for their part seemed while aware of the human onlookers, went going about their destructive play.
Finally though, the cubs tired of their exploration and climbed out of Morris' car.
"They crawled out of the windows and two of them stood up next to my mom and dad's car, but their windows were up. After five more minutes of walking around the cars they went back down the mountain together, off in the woods."
What to Do if You Come Across a Black Bear
While this bear/human encounter went well for all involved, not all such encounters end happily. No matter how cute they are, bears are wild animals and should be treated as such. If you find yourself face to face with a black bear, you can do the following:
- Stand and face the bear. Never turn away or run.
- Make yourself as big as possible by raising your hands.
- Yell or bang on items to make noise.
- Use bear spray, if you have it, if the bear approaches.
- Contrary to popular belief, do not play dead. If the bear attacks you, get to a secure area.
- If attacked by a bear, only fight back if you have no other choice.

If you notice bear cubs in your vicinity, never place yourself in between the mother bear and her cubs. And, no matter how cute they are, never approach bear cubs. The mother might interpret this as an aggressive action toward her young and attack to prevent them from coming to harm. Remaining aware of your surroundings and showing the proper respect to nature can keep you out of harm's way

One has always longed to do things in the quicker way so as to save time. This trait has been there since childhood in practically every human being. One wants to learn quick, drive fast, become rich quicker and the list goes on and on. So let us face it. We all want to drive in the fast lane of life but at times do not know how to do it. Let us now consider a few situations in real life where we can find solutions to everyday tasks and save valuable time. We call this "life hacks".
- To do mental maths quicker: We all learned math's in school but how many of us wanted to learn faster than others. We all know that we can add and subtract on our fingers. Counting from one to five is easy, but the problem comes up when one starts counting from six to nine. All that one has to do is to assign to the numbers six to ten on each of the five fingers on each hand. Then take two numbers that one wants to multiply. Take for example seven and eight. Count the touching fingers along with the fingers below them and add a zero. In that way, one will get the ten's value. Then multiply the upper portion of the touching finger that is together and in that way you will get the one value. Then add the top and bottom together, and one will get the answer.
- Defog the mirror after a shower: We all love a hot shower during winter, but when one wants to stand in front of the mirror and shave, one will find it foggy. Instead of wiping the moisture off all that one needs to do is to plug in the hair dryer and give the mirror quick blast of the hot air. In just a few seconds the mirror will be fit for use.
- Unload a pack of twelve sodas in one clean move: The twelve packs are good nowadays, but all will never fit in a fridge. Instead of putting them one by one, the fastest way is to remove the top and bottom of the box and move it into the freezer. It is as simple as that.
- Peel an entire head of garlic: It is the most irritating job to be done, but one has to do it to get the garlic taste in the dish. The fastest way to peel an entire head of garlic. All that one needs to do is to put it in a bowl and just shake it up, and the work will be done in seconds.
- Deseed a Pomegranate the easy way: a single good sized pomegranate may have about a hundred seeds. All that one needs to do is to cut the fruit in half and then start hitting the back of the fruit with a wooden spoon. If the job is done correctly, all the seeds will fall into the bowl within seconds.

They aren't the resurrection
In news that is unlikely to shock anyone who has had to sit through a thousand and one lame duck band reunion stories, both John Squire and Ian Brown have denied that The Stone Roses will be getting back together. Must have been a funny line of communication that The Mirror had with them eh? Or maybe they just made it up.
The Mirror had said that the rest of the band had convinced Brown to do a 21-date tour of Britain and the States, which would have been timely considering that the 20th anniversary remastered version of their debut album.
However, Brown's publicist spoke to The Guardian and said that 'couldn't imagine it happening, Ian has a solo album that he's currently working and he's always said he won't do it', while Squire has also released a statement that the reports were 'unfounded'.
Next week: rumours of The Smiths reunion take hold, only for Johnny Marr to shove a spear through Gordon Smart's eye socket.

Pacific Northwest Crab Agreement Charts Course to Permanent Status
Congress-approved bill awaits president's signature
September 1, 2017
It's not etched in stone, but – with the pending stroke of a pen by President Donald J. Trump – the cooperative management agreement for the Dungeness crab fishery involving Oregon, Washington, and California would become permanent, providing more stable and consistent oversight for long-term sustainability of the fishery.
While commercial fishermen are accustomed to adversity, those who ply the ocean in Oregon's most lucrative fishery face a complex interaction of ocean, weather and market whims for a season scheduled to begin December 1 each year under normal circumstances.
While more complicated commercial fisheries are regulated under federal fisheries management plans overseen by regional management councils, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife manages the Dungeness crab fishery – one of the few remaining state-managed fisheries in the nation – using a simple system based on size, sex and season. Peak harvest usually occurs during the first eight weeks of the season, with crabbers landing 80 percent or more of the annual catch. Effort traditionally drops off during the spring months as crabbers gear up for other coastal fisheries, but a small number of vessels ply the ocean until the August closure.
Dungeness crab populations can fluctuate immensely, depending on food availability and ocean conditions, and the catch, which tends to peak every 10 years, can fluctuate by millions of pounds. Yet the Pacific Coast fishery has maintained substantial, economically successful harvests for decades due in large part to what crabbers, agency and commodity officials, and others say is sound management.
Crabbers and fishery managers in all three states say cooperation and coordination among the Pacific Coast states is vital to achieve management and conservation objectives, and to oversee and make adjustments to the crabbing seasons as needed.
Under the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission's Dungeness crab Tri-State process, the state fish and wildlife agencies consult on issues related to the commercial Dungeness crab fishery. Through a memorandum of agreement, fishery oversight focuses collectively on Oregon, Washington and California state waters and adjacent federal exclusive economic zone (EEZ) waters. A related tribal fishery operates under court order in ocean areas designated as "usual and accustomed" tribal areas. The state and tribal governments enforce limits on crab size and sex for legal harvest, season opening and closing dates, and areas and periods of time when harvesting is limited to tribal fishermen.
All three states have laws that limit entry into the fishery under a permit system that keeps non-permitted vessels from landing crab in state waters.
Because the fishery extends into the EEZ, state officials were limited in their ability to enforce regulations against vessels registered under the laws of other states. So in 1996, Congress provided Washington, Oregon and California with interim authority to regulate the Dungeness crab fishery in adjacent federal waters off each state. Vessels must obtain permits from the states before crabbing there.
The states coordinate their activities through the Tri-State Dungeness crab Commission under the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission. Since its enactment, the interim authority has received several multi-year extensions, but the long-standing agreement expired at the end of September 2016 without reauthorization or replacement.
In January 2017, US Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and U.S. Representative Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA) introduced matching bipartisan bills in Congress to make the existing authority permanent. U.S. senators Ron Wyden (D-OR), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Patty Murray (D-WA), Diane Feinstein (D-CA), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) co-sponsored the Cantwell bill. U.S. Representative Derek Kilmer (D-WA) co-sponsored Herrera Beutler's bill in the House.
Following the Money
Crabbing is Oregon's most lucrative single-species fishery, and many commercial crabbers in all three states depend on the fishery for a sizeable portion of their annual incomes. Crabbing also provides the foundation for thousands of related maritime jobs, bringing millions of dollars to the Pacific Coast state economies each year.
According to Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife managers, Washington's crabbers harvest an average of 9.5 million pounds per season, bringing $61 million into the state's economy and helping to support more than 60,000 maritime-related jobs.
As of July 31, Oregon's crabbers had harvested 20.3 million pounds this season, despite a crabber strike that idled crab fleets from northern California to Washington until late January over a price disagreement with seafood processors. It put a firm exclamation point on what has been a far-from-typical three-year run for Oregon crabbers.
Hugh Link, executive director of the Oregon Dungeness crab Commission, said the 2016 season didn't fully begin until January 4 due to elevated levels of domoic acid, a neurotoxin created by algae blooms and absorbed by crabs and other marine species, in crabs along the southern coast. Landings, however, reached 14.2 million pounds - well above the 2015 catch of 8.2 million pounds (the first time since 2000 it fell below 10 million pounds), but shy the 10-year average of 16.8 million. Market analysts say last year's average price per pound peaked at $5.06 in March and ended at $3.60 for entire season - second highest on the books behind the $4.12 for 2014.
Despite the tempestuous start to the 2017 season – state health officials first delayed the traditional opening due to toxic amounts of domoic acid found in crabs during pre-season testing, followed by the crabbers strike - Link said it has been a record-shattering season in terms of to-the-boat value.
Oregon crabbers caught 1.5 million pounds in December (at $3 per pound), 11.9 million ($2.89) in January, 4.9 million ($2.95) in February, 960,865 ($3.65) in March, 650,888 ($4.92) in April, 301,379 ($5.55) in May, 141,568 ($5.06) in June, and 86,643 ($4.28) in July. Market analysts say prices to the crabbers rose as high as $5.75 per pound, and the average price of $4.04 per pound boosted to-the-boat value - which had already reached a record-setting $55.4 million in March - to an astronomical $82.1 million.
The 2017 season opened sporadically along the entire Pacific coast, with crabbers north of Cape Blanco initially shut out of the December 18 opener.
Just before Christmas, market analysts say Pacific Choice seafood in Eureka, California, owned by Oregon-based Pacific seafood, reneged on the opening negotiated price of $3 per pound, instead offering $2.75 to local fishermen. Other wholesale buyers and processors did the same.
Crabbers said that 25-cent differential makes a huge difference for about 1,200 fishing vessels along the Pacific Coast, representing 4,500 or more families who depend on the crab fishery, as well as the workers at processing plants and others who also depend on fishermen bringing crab to process and deliver. Costs for bait, equipment, insurance, fuel and maintenance have all risen. Even such a seemingly small drop in ex-vessel price can translate into a hefty income loss – something especially difficult for smaller operators.
In response, crabbers from California to the Canadian border went on an 11-day strike. After five negotiating sessions, they agreed – some quite reluctantly - to $2.875 per pound.
Unexpectedly perfect weather launched a harvest rush. That led to an overwhelming initial glut of crabs that not even a short closure of a 65-mile stretch of Oregon's southern coast from Coos Bay to Heceta Head at the beginning of February could ease. Eventually, nature intervened with a series of storms that kept vessels at the docks, allowing processors and shippers the opportunity to catch up.
Meanwhile, legislators in Washington, Oregon and California sought to catch up by pushing to make the tri-state agreement permanent and stabilizing an important fishery management component.
Second Chance
This is not the first time legislators introduced this proposal. In 2015, a similar effort made it through the US House Natural Resources Committee, but stalled later in the process.
The Oregon Dungeness crab Commission and other fishery managers fully backed the idea. Link called it a logical next step for the fishery, especially in Oregon, where several years ago, it achieved certification from the international Marine Stewardship Council as a highly sustainable fishery. Commission members ultimately decided to let the designation expire, because the certification had served its purpose, and harvesters and consumers were confident about the fishery's management and sustainability.
"This legislation preserves an effective, science-based, management partnership between states, federal fishery managers and fishermen to sustainably manage our crab fishery," said Cantwell.
Dale Beasley, president of the Columbia River crab Fishermen's Association, said the crab fleet was more than willing to back the legislative effort. "The future of West Coast commercial fishing is anchored by Dungeness crab," he said, noting that the fishery "has added stability and vitality to coastal fish-dependent communities in the face of other struggling fisheries."
Other fishermen agree, pointing to the floundering salmon fishery as a prime example.
Randy Fisher, executive director of the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, lauded the legislators' success "in preserving this valuable conservation and management program," noting the Pacific Coast states' "long history of successfully managing the West /coast's most valuable fishery."
The U.S. House of Representatives passed Herrera Beutler's bipartisan bill by a vote of 388-0. The U.S. Senate recently overwhelmingly approved Cantwell's corresponding bill.
All that remains is a signature from the president to seal the deal.

Well, sometimes ok :-)
This week I went to hospital to have a second blood test to check my cholesterol level. As you all know, 5 days after coming back from the UK I had an annual health check-up.
My "bad" cholesterol reading was 171. It should be about 120.
I blamed the cakes in England...all that cake eating, every day.
But the doctor recommended a second check. So this week Youko had to cancel her class on Wednesday morning and I took myself to KKR Hospital near Imagine.
FOUR hours later I had the result: cholesterol of 157.
The doctor said it is still a little high, but for a woman of my age and for someone who had her ovaries removed 2 years ago - understandable.
So, he advised me to take care with my diet and exercise a lot.
I am trying! I go to the gym 3 times a week. I walk early morning, I garden. I pick up heavy cats.
And...sometimes I enjoy chocolate, cakes, beer and cheese.
Sometimes :-)

To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SOLOMON OTTENHEIMER, of the city and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Corsets; and the following is declared to be a correct descrip- tion of the same.
Corsets have been made with a seam around the waist, the upper and lower sections being cut out to the proper shape from woven material. This seam has been covered with a band or belt. In other instances the corset has been made of three sections, the two seams extending entirely around the corset. In these cases the front portion of the corset is made of a portion of the woven fabric where the warp and weft threads ran more or less diagonally; hence the same is liable to stretch and lose its proper shape at the very portions where the closest fit and greatest support are, required.
My invention consists in a corset made with three sections in each half of the corset, the front section extending from the top to the bottom and being cut with the warp or weft running parallel, or nearly so, to the front vertical edge, so as not to be drawn out of shape by the strain to which they are subjected. The other two pieces or sections are cut of such a shape that, when united by a seam at the waist and to the front section, they form the half corset.
In the drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view, illustrating the improved corset. Fig. 2 is the front section. Fig. 3 is the upper and Fig. 4 the lower side sections of the corset.
The front section a is made of the shape shown in Fig. 2, with the warp or weft parallel, or nearly so, with the vertical edge 1 2; and, into this edge the ribs or springs are introduced, and also the hooks or catches. The section b is shown in Fig. 3, and the edge 3 4 is unit to the edge 5 6 of the section a, and the edge 7 4 of the section b is united to the edge 5 9 of the section c, and the edge 9 10 of c is united, at 6 11, to a. The seam 7 4 5 9 is at or near the waist of the person, and the back edges 12 5 7 13 of the sections b c are to be provided with the eyelets for the lace, as usual. A gore or gores may be inserted at the breast, as at f.
I claim as my invention--
The corset made of the sections a b c, united together, as shown, so that the section a, extending from top to bottom at the front, is united at its edge to the section b c, and they are united by a seam at the waist, as specified.
Signed by me this 13th day of February, A. D. 1872.S. OTTENHEIMER. Witnesses: GEO. T. PINCKNEY, CHAS. H. SMITH.

VA Lender's Handbook Chapter 17 Summary
Chapter 17 covers all "program participants", and also covers actions that are not considered fraudulent but are still "detrimental to the VA loan guaranty program". We'll be giving you a summary of the information provided in Chapter 17 so you can decide if you want to research it more thoroughly by reading through all of our articles on the chapter or by reading the chapter directly from the Handbook itself. We'll touch on most of the information that's important for borrowers to know here.
Number One: The VA Does Respond
It may come as a strong comfort to many borrowers that the VA does, in fact, have the authority to respond to any program participants that are guilty of detrimental actions against the VA loan program and impose sanctions on those parties. Program participants include lenders (of course), builders, and management brokers. As a borrower, you are not considered a program participant, so you don't have to worry about getting slapped with VA sanctions. The types of actions that the VA is likely to respond to include fraud, significant deficiencies in performance, ongoing disregard for VA requirements, and the like. The sanctions that the VA may impose can, of course, be partial or full exclusion from participating in the VA loan program either temporarily or permanently, but they can also come in the form of civil money penalties. Either type of sanction is pretty effective in minimizing the number of cases in which sanctions must be imposed.
Program Participants
Sanctions can be against a company, but they can also be against specific individuals. The participants can be lenders, employees of lenders, loan holders, loan servicers, builders, real estate brokers or agents, management brokers, repair contractors, compliance inspectors, fee appraisers, salespersons, and manufactured home manufacturers, dealers, or park operators. As mentioned above, a borrower is not considered a program participant, and a VA-eligible borrowers ability to obtain a VA loan is not affected by whether that borrower is also a program participant in another capacity and has sanctions imposed on him/her. On all program participants, a full or partial exclusion from participating in the VA loan program may be used as a sanction, and they are added to a list which is available to other program participants so they can know if they are doing business with an excluded party.
Lender-Specific Sanctions
Since this information is coming out of the VA Lender's Handbook, and as a borrower you do most of your interactions with the VA loan program through a lender, we are going to focus on the sanctions that might be imposed on a lender and how that affects their ability to offer VA loans and how it might affect your VA loan application process. Lenders may be sanctioned in specific ways based on what they did in order to get sanctioned. If they make a false lender certification, for example, they may be charged a civil money penalty. The lender certification is a statement that must be included on all loan applications that states the lender complied with all VA requirements and the law. Depending on the severity of the falsification or if it's the first time, the lender may also have their automatic authority revoked or be fully or partially excluded from making VA loans.
How Sanctions Affect You
They affect borrowers in two main ways. First, they keep the field of lenders fairly clear of snakes so you can trust your lender. However, if you're working with a lender that has had their automatic authority revoked for some reason, it means that your loan application is probably going to take longer to process, because it has to be sent to the VA for prior approval before it can be closed on. Depending on your lender and loan officer, you may or may not be informed that that is taking place. Lenders can also be hit with sanctions if it becomes apparent that they intentionally led the veteran to choose less-than-ideal terms by incorrectly advising that those terms were excluded by VA requirements. This sort of thing can happen in a number of ways, and if you're interested in learning more, we would encourage you to read our detailed articles on Chapter 17.

Key Lime is a bright, lime green with a satin finish. Of the four Macaron Lippies I picked up, this is my least favorite. It took three layers to build up the color you see above. Even after three layers, my natural lip color still peeks through, warping the green color.
Black Sesame is a light grey with a demi matte finish. On my fairly pink lips, it pulls slightly bluish. Pictured above is two layers on the lips. Black Sesame is surprisingly flattering. A grey lipstick is surprisingly practical, it'd be good for mixing.
Pistachio is a gorgeous aqua with a satin finish. Color payoff is great, my lip swatch shows one layer. Once again, I find this minty shade surprisingly wearable.
Blue Velvet is a dream come true to me. I love anything blue, and have always wanted a blue lipstick! Blue Velvet is a true blue with a satin finish. One coat is almost completely opaque. On its own, Blue Velvet isn't the most practical lipstick out there, but it could make a good mixing shade.
Do you have any NYX Macaron Lippies? Planning on picking any up? Comment and let me know.

Employee share scheme (ESS) – cross border considerations
Do you know if the ESS interests you hold are taxable in Australia?
From 1 July 2009, the ESS rules have been significantly changed. As part of the integrity measure, employers under the new rules are required to provide tax information about the ESS interests to both ATO and their employees.
However, the employers do not have to examine the employees' individual circumstances to determine the taxable amount. There are many instances where the taxable value should be reduced. For example, the shares or rights are granted prior to arrival to Australia.

Quarterback Michael Vick has leapt back from controversy in a remarkable way this season. So far, he's 5-0 in the games he's started and finished, hasn't thrown a single interception and has single-handedly transformed the Philadelphia Eagles into a Super Bowl contender.
I have mixed feeling about Vick. On the one hand, the NFL is allowing him to play and he paid whatever price society deemed he deserved for his crimes. On the other, I can't shake the horrible things that he and his friends did to the dogs in the Bad Newz Kennels, not to mention the gambling aspect that most often gets overlooked.
It's a shame that someone so talented and unique has to carry all this negative baggage.

Some time ago, right here at Vision Times, we ran a story about the 4 most beautiful Chinese women of antiquity.
I waited and waited for an article about the most handsome Chinese men of all time, but nothing appeared. So I had no choice but to go search for the information myself. Thanks to Off the Great Wall this was fairly easy to find out.
Let's take a look at the four hottest guys in Chinese history…
Oh, they all look very nice! Let's see what YouTubers think about them:
- That moment when you're suddenly attracted to a drawing of a man that lived millions of years ago – Amber Bostwick
- I wish I lived in ancient China and in one of the times one of the guys lived in – Michelle Zheng
- Sooo hot! Why do they have to die young? – Noir Neko
- I really want to be able to just throw fruit at hot guys I see on the street – geniusgurl777
- I wonder if they would've been remembered for their beauty if they hadn't died young, and instead lived to become old and wrinkly – Aki Hideyoshi
So what can we learn from this?
- Admiration can kill…
- If we see a handsome guy we can throw fruit at him (or maybe not!)
- How to say a guy is attractive in Chinese
Now I can finally relax, justice has been done!

With only a month left in office, President Clinton is reviewing the pardon applications of several high-profile criminals, including junk-bond king Michael Milken, Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, Native American murderer Leonard Peltier, and Whitewater witness Susan McDougal. The Constitution allows the president, "except in cases of impeachment," to pardon citizens who have been convicted of federal crimes or who are in jeopardy of such a conviction. As this "Explainer" notes, one justification for pardons is to recognize atonement for past crimes through good behavior (the argument for Milken). Another reason—as explained by Alexander Hamilton in Federalist No. 74—is to allow the executive branch to "check" the judicial branch when it suspects a criminal proceeding has been unjust (the argument for Peltier) or politically motivated (the argument for McDougal).
Since becoming president, Clinton has granted 185 pardons out of nearly 2,000 requests. This rate, about 23 a year, is slow by historical standards. [Update Dec. 27: Clinton has pardoned nearly a hundred people in the past several weeks. On Dec. 23 he pardoned Archie Schaffer (below). He has now pardoned 280 people, a rate of about 35 a year. Update Jan. 22: On his last day in office Clinton pardoned 176 people, including Susan McDougal (below). As president he pardoned 456 people, a rate of of 57 a year.] The most generous pardoners were Herbert Hoover (346 per year), Woodrow Wilson (310), and Franklin Roosevelt (307). Since World War II, pardons per year have steadily declined—197 for Johnson, 168 for Nixon, 164 for Ford, 142 for Carter, 51 for Reagan, and 19 for Bush.
Here is a list of the most prominent pardon applications now before the president, in order of likelihood of success:
1. Michael Milken
Milken rose to prominence in the 1980s as the king of "junk bonds." That is not illegal. But in 1990 Milken pleaded guilty to six felony counts in connection with insider trading. He paid a $1 billion fine and served two years of a 10-year sentence. After his release he violated his probation agreement, which forbade him from conducting major business deals. For that he paid a $47 million fine.
Milken's defenders argue that he committed merely technical violations and was prosecuted simply because he embodied the greed of 1980s Wall Street. Since his release he has become an active philanthropist and a public spokesman for prostate-cancer awareness. New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who as a federal attorney helped direct Milken's prosecution, supports his pardon. (Giuliani said Milken came to his aid after his own diagnosis of prostate cancer.) Ron Burkle, a California supermarket titan who pledged $135 million to Clinton's presidential library, has lobbied the White House for a pardon. (Burkle attributes his success to loans arranged by Milken in the 1980s.) In the 1980s, Milken's now-defunct firm, Drexel Burnham Lambert, was a large Democratic contributor. (Al Gore's first presidential campaign chair, Tony Coelho, resigned from the House of Representatives in 1989 for concealing the nature of a $100,000 Drexel bond.)
Will Clinton pardon him? Probably. The pardon is palatable to business leaders in both the Democratic and Republican parties. Clinton could, however, be accused of selling his pardon for Burkle's contribution.
2. Archie Schaffer
Schaffer, an executive at Arkansas' Tyson Foods, was convicted in 1998 of giving illegal gifts to former Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy. Espy was acquitted, and Tyson Foods Chairman Don Tyson was given immunity from prosecution in exchange for a guilty plea by his company. Schaffer was sentenced in September to a federally mandated one-year prison term.
Schaffer has the support of the entire Arkansas congressional delegation, which is half Republican, and of Arkansas' GOP governor, Mike Huckabee. Schaffer is a nephew of former Arkansas Sen. Dale Bumpers, who made a speech supporting Clinton during his impeachment. Schaffer's wife, Beverly Bassett, was appointed by then-Gov. Clinton to a state board that oversaw Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan, the failed bank at the heart of the Whitewater scandal. Nevertheless, even the Whitewater fanatics at the Wall Street Journal editorial page favor a pardon for Schaffer. Last month Clinton pardoned Phil Winn, a Denver developer who had pleaded guilty to giving illegal gifts to Housing and Urban Development officials.
On the downside for Schaffer: A pardon would affront Robert Ray, one of Schaffer's prosecutors, who is now the independent counsel deciding whether to indict Clinton when he leaves office.
3. Susan McDougal
Susan McDougal ran the now-notorious Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan in Arkansas with her husband, James. In 1996, she was convicted of illegally obtaining a federally backed $300,000 loan. After refusing to testify in further Whitewater prosecutions, she spent 18 months in jail for contempt. She then served four months of her two-year fraud sentence before a judge released her in June 1998, limiting her sentence to time served, because of her bad back. In early 1999, a federal jury found her not guilty of obstruction of justice for her refusal to testify. The jury deadlocked on contempt charges, and the judge declared a mistrial. McDougal says she refused to testify out of fear that Independent Prosecutor Kenneth Starr would charge her with perjury unless she fingered the Clintons for nonexistent crimes.
McDougal's refusal to cooperate with Starr has made her an icon among Clinton defenders. In her favor, she has served her time. Had Clinton not become president, she may not have been prosecuted in the first place. However, many believe her refusal to testify indicates a conspiracy to protect the Clintons. And a pardon would affront Ray.
4. Webster Hubbell
Hubbell overbilled clients $400,000 while working at the Rose Law Firm, where Hillary Clinton was a partner. Whitewater prosecutors uncovered the theft while Hubbell was a high-level appointee at the Justice Department, and in 1994 he pleaded guilty to two felonies and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors. (He served 18 months in prison and was stripped of his Arkansas law license.) His testimony led to the felony convictions of several Clinton cronies, but he kept mum about the Clintons themselves. To twist his arm, the independent counsel prosecuted him again, and in 1999 he received a year's probation after pleading guilty to another felony involving fraudulent legal work.
Today Hubbell gets paid modest sums to speak to accountants about the dangers of fraud. He also works for nonprofit groups advocating prison reform. Unfortunately for Hubbell, a pardon would affront Ray. Also, many believe that money Hubbell received from Clinton friends in 1994 (between his indictment and plea bargain) bought his silence and that his 1999 plea bargain was a conspiracy to keep Hillary off the stand.
5. Jonathan Pollard:
Pollard, an American Jew, applied for a CIA job in the mid-1980s but was rejected after failing a lie-detector test. He became an analyst for the Navy (which was unaware of the CIA rejection) and given access to classified documents. Recruited by Israeli intelligence, he spied for them for a year and a half.
Neither Pollard nor Israel deny that he spied, but his defenders claim that a) the secrets he stole were not vital and never left Israel; and b) his punishment—he is in the 14th year of a life sentence—is harsh for a spy from a friendly nation. Pollard has many lobbyists: As Slate's David Plotz recounts in this article, Pollard's case, once the obsession of right-wing Zionists, has become a cause célèbre among mainstream and even left-wing Jews. Three Israeli prime ministers have asked President Clinton for his release.
Unfortunately, the facts paint a dimmer picture of Pollard than his advocates will admit. According to TheNew Yorker's Seymour Hersh, Pollard gave vitally sensitive information to the Israelis, some of which may have ended up in Moscow. When newspapers reported that Clinton had tentatively agreed to pardon Pollard during the 1998 Wye River peace negotiations, the CIA director threatened to resign. However, with Israel making one last push for peace before its Feb. 6 election for prime minister, Clinton may pardon Pollard if his release becomes a dealmaker.
6. Leonard Peltier
Peltier was an activist for the radical American Indian Movement in the early 1970s. In 1972 he was charged with attempted murder. He was ultimately acquitted, but he jumped bail before the trial began. In 1975, two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota were shot and killed at point-blank range by men driving Peltier's car. Peltier and two other suspects were eventually caught separately, each carrying one of the murdered agents' weapons. Peltier's two co-defendants were tried first, represented by flamboyant left-wing attorney William Kunstler—who introduced unrelated evidence attesting to the political oppression of Native Americans—and were acquitted. Peltier, not defended by Kunstler, faced both a stricter judge and three eyewitnesses not used in the earlier trial. He admitted to being in the car but claimed that the agents fired first and that he did not deliver the coup de grâce. He was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder. In 1977, he was sentenced to life in prison, with no parole for 30 years.
Then Peter Matthiessen's 1983 book In The Spirit of Crazy Horse turned Peltier into a worldwide symbol for Native American rights. In 1991 60 Minutes aired a secondhand interview with "Mr. X," an unidentified man who confessed to the Peltier murders. In 1992 Robert Redford made a pro-Peltier documentary. In November Clinton said he would give Peltier's application "an honest look-see" before leaving office. Peltier's defenders, recognizing that George W. Bush will not pardon him, are lobbying Clinton fervently.
But the odds are against him. Crazy Horse has been thoroughly debunked—Matthiessen gave half his royalties to Peltier's defense fund, his speculations about other AIM-related homicides have proved false, and his conspiracy theory (that the feds wanted to mine Pine Ridge for uranium) has no basis. In a comprehensive article on the case, Outside magazine noted that Mr. X's confession contradicts ballistics reports from the crime scene. Peltier's pardon is opposed by FBI Director Louis Freeh and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Henry Hyde. Last week several hundred FBI agents protested against a pardon outside the White House.

What do the constellations have in store for your sun sign this October?
The Phoenix is keen to take flight as October begins, and the universe is deeply rumbling with a desire to shift. The world is changing, so hold onto the railings! But what does this mean to you? Check your sign below and see how your personal evolution will progress throughout October:
born March 21 – April 19
You finally see your career evolve in a direction beyond your wildest dreams. While it is different to what you imagined, it is better. Your drive and desire to serve are direct and clear. Service has been the key to your evolution. On the full moon on the 5th of October, you will see yourself as a tree that bears fruit. Whenever you feel that whispers of higher wisdom are being a party pooper with your progress, take heed. You won't regret it!
The spotlight is mainly focused on relationships towards to middle of the month. You are able to communicate with your significant other with ease, and any conversations will be very enlightening for you. However, your evolving career may become like a spanner in the works occasionally, so be careful not to put any power-trips on your partner. Internalize the desire for control rather than allow it to create tension in your relationship.
Intense energy shifts will occur mid-month also, when suddenly you may get an enormously increased sex-drive. However, you will experience this as a longing to connect your soul with another, rather than just a desire to "get your rocks off." You may come across as intense to your sexual partner, and this could begin a period of developing a deeper soul connection between you both. This may initially feel chaotic to whatever order you have between you, but your souls have been waiting to move deeper for some time now.
born April 20 – May 20
Taurus has been feeling creatively driven, and you are finding you can use this energy to further your spiritual evolution. The rebirth this is initiating does sometimes feel slow and occasionally unnerving. However, anything new, like a birth, always comes with a level of discomfort. Try to embrace it. On the full moon, things brewing in your subconscious may burst out like a breaking dam. However, you will likely find out that others knew this was coming and you shouldn't feel ashamed.
The spotlight will be on your health this month, and self-care will be your focus. This may contradict your evolving philosophy of life, however, try to see this as a message to give you direction – even if initially it feels like the more stressful choice. You will benefit in the long run.
By the middle of the month, you will be feeling more optimistic about a potential relationship. You will experience the overwhelming passion from another which somehow restores your faith and makes you feel complete. However, you may feel you cannot quite share this within your community, as fitting relationship "norms" has brought you pain in the past. But somehow you believe healing could be accomplished by opening yourself up to another person's intense response to you.
born May 21 – June 20
Your personal and private evolution is going at full throttle. You want this; you need this, you are going to be reborn anew. And the world can see it, and you stand out. However, a potential love interest may be holding you back a little, and this can create a little tension. It could be that they can see you need to take your time to give birth to the new you – take time, so you don't do yourself any damage.
The full moon sees you become a force to be reckoned with in your community. You communicate creatively right now, and this will also keep romance aflame. However, this also could create an internal tension that conflicts with your urge for change. But change you must. It has been a long time coming.
By mid-month you will become more impassioned about your health, as you know your entire world depends on you being in top shape. In fact, this becomes an intense obsession for you, which picks up your spirits positively. It could also be the cherry on top of the ultimate rebirth you are having with yourself.

If my application and roommate requests are in by the deadline, am I guaranteed the room type/hall requested?
No. Room preferences are based on availability at time of Room Draw and not guaranteed. Availability in the hall will depend on your individual or group's Room Draw number.
I missed the deadline for individual application. What do I do?
Complete the application. Your Room Draw time will be later than those who met the deadline.
Returning Student Room Draw Number
Is placement on a first come, first served basis?
No, the returning student process is based on years in housing. Students will be assigned Room Draw numbers randomly based on years in housing. All students with completed applications by the deadlines have equal opportunity.
How are Room Draw numbers assigned?
Priority application deadline for returning students is 10 a.m. on March 4. All students who meet this deadline are assigned Room Draw numbers randomly by the computer based on years in housing.
Do I want a high or low Room Draw number?
A low number means an earlier chance at choosing a room on Room Draw night.
What number do we use when our group is chosen?
At the close of roommate selection time, Room Draw numbers of the mutually chosen roommates will be averaged. The entire group will then be reassigned this new averaged Room Draw number. On the night of Room Draw, the group with the lowest number will be able to select a room first. A low number means your group will have many rooms to choose from. A higher number means more rooms will be chosen ahead of you.
Roommate Selection
When can I begin selecting roommates?
Once you have applied for housing, you may begin selecting your roommates to match with. However, keep in mind that the people you would like to roommate match with have to have also applied for housing for them to show up as roommate options.
How do I know if a roommate has requested me? Can I check this somewhere?
The system automatically generates an email every time a roommate is added or removed. Watch your email and your MyHousing Roommate/Suitemates page for activity. "Fall 2020 Roommate Requests" lists all matched roommate requests. "Accept/Decline Pending Roommate Requests" lists any roommate requests that do not match.
What happens if one of my roommates does not request everyone correctly?
In order for a roommate request to be valid, it must be a mutual request. The nonmutual requests will not be included. Each group is responsible to have all roommate requests entered into your MyHousing page by the deadline. The system will only display rooms that the matched roommates can fill.
Where can I check to ensure our group has completed all roommate requests?
Your MyHousing Roommate/Suitemates lists roommate request activity. "Fall 2020 Roommate Requests" lists all matched roommate requests. "Accept/Decline Pending Roommate Requests" lists any roommate requests that do not match.
We do not have a complete group for the location we are applying for. How is this going to affect us?
A complete group is essential in maximizing your chances for your housing choice. All complete groups have priority in opening Room Draw nights. After complete groups have chosen, Room Draw will open to incomplete groups.
We do not have a complete group. How can we find additional roommates?
Groups and/or individuals looking for additional roommates should sign up in the Open Groups Connection. This is an online listing of groups or individuals looking for roommates.
In the sophomore/second year in housing Room Draw, can we choose an
Yes, but the group's room draw number will be impacted. All second year in housing students will be randomly assigned Room Draw numbers first. Any
Can we overload a room?
No. Overloading is not accepted in housing. No exceptions.
Room Selection
Which person in the group can actually pick the room?
Each group should assign one student to log in to select the room for the entire group. Be sure to discuss who will be in each bedroom as this student will be selecting bedroom placements in this step.
Should our group have a plan B or C if our first choice is not available when picking a room?
Yes, this is particularly important in the
What do we do if there are no rooms that can accommodate our group size?
Your entire group will need to reduce or increase the students requested on your MyHousing page. After each student has reduced roommates, your group can then see what rooms are available for the new group size.
How do we
Each student will need to add or reduce roommates on their individual MyHousing pages. After roommate adjustments are revised, "Select a Room/Suite" lists available room choices for the new group.
Off Campus
I lived off campus for this current year. Do I get to keep the frozen rate I had before I left campus?
No. Frozen rates are guaranteed only as long as you live on campus. This rate is canceled as soon as you leave campus. Upon return to campus housing, the new rate is put on your account and you are guaranteed this new rate until you graduate.
Additional things students should consider when thinking about moving off campus:
- Frozen housing rate is lost. If you plan to return to campus housing the following year, your rate will be higher.
- Room Draw numbers are based on years in housing. If you were to return to campus housing next year, your Room Draw number would be the same as now.
- Utilities are all inclusive in campus housing. These are extra costs at most off-campus options (electric, gas, water, garbage, internet, laundry).
- You'll no longer have easy access to your room between classes.
- Finding a parking spot each time you come to campus can be challenging.
- You'll be farther away from Bethel friends.
- No 24/7 support from Facilities Management and Security when problems arise.
A great option to consider: Move "UP NORTH" to live in North Village for independent, apartment-style living. It offers the benefits of independent living while still in a Bethel community.
ARD, RA and BUILD Housing Mentors
I was hired to be an RA/BUILD Housing Mentor. What do I need to do?
Apply for housing, submit roommate requests and select your assigned room.
I am living with an RA/BUILD Housing Mentor. What do I need to do?
Apply for housing and request your roommates.
What Room Draw do my roommates and I select on the housing application?
Upperclass Room Draw must be selected.
I am trying to request a friend that was hired as an RA/BUILD Housing Mentor or is planning to live with our group, but cannot find them. What do I need to do?
Contact the friend to remind them to submit a housing application.
When do we request roommates and select the room?
Please complete the process as soon as possible or by Friday, March 6, at the very latest.
Who selects the room for our group?
The student hired for the RA or BUILD Housing Mentor role selects the assigned room for the matched roommate group. Roommate group must be able to completely fill the assigned room before the room can be selected.
Study Abroad
I will be a study abroad student this fall. Should I apply?
No, not at this time. You will apply later in the fall semester for your return to campus.
How will you know where I want to live when I return?
Later this spring, your MyHousing page will have a form for you to complete outlining your housing needs and requests for when you return from abroad. An information sheet will be given out at your information meeting with the Office of International Studies.
I have been asked by a friend who is currently studying abroad this spring to apply for housing for them. How do I do this?
First, check to see if they have access to the internet. If so, they will be able to complete this step themselves. If not, stop by the Student Life Office for assistance in completing an application. All deadline dates apply.
I was gone for one term on a Bethel study abroad program. Do I count this as a full year in housing?
Yes. On the application you are asked to give the location you lived in for the past years. Choose the location you live at for the semester you were on the Bethel campus.
Can you hold or reserve a spot for me while I am abroad in the fall?
No, a spot cannot be held or reserved for the semester while you are gone. Each semester 40-80 students study abroad. The beds are needed for students that are on campus that semester.

Get ready for the Green Party.
Presidential nominee, Jill Stein, is landing in CT this Thursday to speak at Windham Town Hall in Willimantic. The speech, which is geared toward resolving the student debt crisis, is scheduled to begin at 6pm.
Green Party coordinator Cora Santaguida sent out a press release that touched upon the details of Stein's planned visit, writing, "Stein says that students and youth are the ones that we must support in building a more just future in our country."
With Baby Boomers hitting their golden years and heading towards retirement, the next generation is getting ready to step up as the nation's leaders. However, with a limping housing market, sky-high cost of living expenses, and massive student debt – Generation X and Millennials are off to a very rough start.
But Santaguida is certain that the younger vote can truly change this country, "If all the 43 million persons with student debt voted for the only candidate that wanted to cancel student debt, Dr. Stein could win the election with a voting plurality."
With Jill Stein and Gary Johnson polling at record numbers, it's possible that the United States could see its first non-Republican or non-Democrat President in nearly 200 years.
Stein ran in the 2012 Presidential election and took home only .36 percent of the vote. Now, she is polling at 3.2 percent. She still has ways to go due to the insane amount of obstacles both parties are throwing directly onto her path.
Let's be real here, the vast majority of the nation is unsatisfied with who we have running for President. We are also tired of the fear-mongering discourse of "any vote not for Hillary is a vote for Trump."
Like, thanks for the thought policing, people. 1984 called and wants its plot back.
It's evident that the good people of the United States want to see the two party monopoly end. Voters are ready for real change and feel that these lesser-known "others" will represent them.
So, if you are part of the population that hopes to see the two-party system come to a very satisfying end, you can see one of the candidates leading the charge this Thursday at Windham Town Hall at 6pm.

Ropeways: The Next Level of Mobility
Mobility is a major economic factor in the daily lives – on the way to work or in the leisure time. Integrated transport solutions with ropeways ensure relevant time savings enabling convenient mobility for all. Ropeways are efficient, eco-friendly and cost-effective. Skiers on their way to the slopes, commuters in busy cities and tourists in beautiful sceneries enjoy the comfortable ride in a ropeway. Doppelmayr/Garaventa sees ropeways as a service and a benchmark. They are the next level of mobility representing a stand-alone or a multimodal transport solution in an independent dimension.

In India, most of the of events are happening indoors, and the concrete multipurpose hall is actually a nightmare for the sound engineer.
It is an undeniable fact that many of these concrete bunkers have such modest acoustics, which is actually disgusting for the sound engineering technician and a factor that takes away the fun of working.
While it scares us, the audience expects – quite rightly – a transparent, professional sound.
What to do?
Howdy SEA Fans, Welcome to another tiptuesday blog post and the topic we are discussing today will be beneficial for those who sound engineers who are doing sound setup in ca onfined atmosphere and here are some practical tips to avert the sonic disaster.
What is bad acoustics?
There are several parameters that can be used to capture the acoustics of a room.
Among the best known are the cryptic abbreviations RT60 and STI.
RT60 describes the reverberation time of a room.
This is defined as the time interval at which the sound pressure has dropped by 60 dB after the silencing of the sound source.
The Speech Transmission Index, STI for short, arranges the quality of speech transmission between 0 (obscure) to 1 (excellent).
The problem lies in the detail as always, because the optimal RT60 and STI values are program-dependent.
Thus, a classical orchestra in a room with a long RT60 time (over two seconds) and a low ST index (below 0.5) copes much better than a rock band with PA.
The appearance of an Iron Maiden cover band in a historic concert hall thus represents a challenge in terms of sound engineering.
However, not only classical concert halls or sacred buildings but also modern multi-purpose halls often serve many purposes – but not to provide music sound with useful acoustics.
This is often the money because cost-effective construction and dry room acoustics are difficult to reconcile.
While talking one of the acoustic consultant and sound engineer here in kerala, he told that there are many big halls and sacred buildings in the state, which are not acoustic friendly and those who are gathering inside the building are not able to hear it properly.
Those who are constructing the building will be spending a huge amount for erecting the building and decorating it and a marginal amount is being spent for sound installation and acoustics and that will reflect in the overall sound output.
The reason is that most of the builders are not taking care of the acoustics part while construction. Even if the building construction is acoustically perfect the sound will not be audible if the audio setup is imperfect as room acoustics was not taken into consideration while setting up.
Buildings made of concrete and glass, in which walls and ceilings are at right angles to each other, can be erected quickly and cost-effectively.
The fact that you create spaces that have virtually no sound-absorbing surfaces and throw sound back directly into the room, the task of the sound engineer hardly facilitates.
1. Room Acoustics
Too much reverberation sounds awful, everyone knows that.
Our goal is, therefore, to prevent as many direct reflections as possible.
You have to distinguish reflections by PA and stage.
Our work starts on stage because reflections make it hard for the musicians to hear each other clearly.
This, in turn, leads the musicians to turn their amps louder, to play louder and as a consequence demand a louder monitor sound.
So the FoH technician gives more steam to the monitors and at the same time more levels to the PA.
The result is an unnecessarily loud FoH sound that creates further reflections.
What the sound engineer can do is, the stage should generate as much direct sound as possible and as few reflections as possible.
But what to do if it sounds like the thunder dome?
A cost-effective solution is to hang the stage on the sides and over the entire width of the back with heavier material as possible.
Of course, only flammable materials may be used.
Usually, Stage Molton is used.
Even better is the stage velvet.
The heavier, the better.
In addition, you should attach the fabric with some distance from the walls and not smooth, but hang in folds.
This causes not only high but also medium frequencies to be absorbed.
Ideally, the ceiling over the stage is suspended with fabric.
Even better: professional absorbers or acoustic ceilings are used.
The latter is up to the hall operator and not the touring band.
The idea behind it is to create an open-air-like acoustics on stage.
There the backline noise literally dissolves in the air as there are no reflective room boundaries.
If you hang the stage on the sides, on the back wall and the stage cover generously with Molton, you also get a reflection poorer environment.
The musicians listen better and are not tempted to trick the room acoustics over loudness.
The FoH sound also benefits, as it provides more design options due to the quieter stage.
As a rule, it is only possible for large professional tours to hang as many reverberant surfaces in the auditorium as possible.
2. Setting up and adjusting the PA
The RT60 curve of a large church or bare concrete hall shows that the reverberation time increases with decreasing frequency.
Low-mids and basses are particularly long in the room and like to superimpose the important vocal range.
In addition, the lower the frequency, the more complex it becomes to achieve a directivity with loudspeakers.
Nevertheless, a targeted sound distribution is important, especially to effectively use the only significant large absorber surface, which is available to us.
The tops should only cover the public area and not encourage walls or ceilings.
The easiest way to do this is with a flown PA, with the top parts or line array aligned to the audience area.
If this is not an option, speakers or tiltable stirrups are recommended for the tops.
Subwoofer, however, reduces it to a minimum and works best with a directed array.
With a cardioid setup, you can compensate for the bass on stage.
A tactic of small steps. You should be cautious with extreme system equalization, especially if the hall is empty during the sound check.
Overpowering room modes can be lowered with a sum EQ in the sum, beyond that it becomes difficult.
Of course, it would be nice if a bad room acoustics could be straightened out with the EQ.
But that's just treating the symptoms, not the cause.
In addition, the sound at the FoH position may be improved by massive EQ use, but if one leaves his mixing port, one often discovers that too many frequencies are missing in the near field of the PA.
3. Mix Backward
Backward is the new forward, at least when mixing in acoustically difficult spaces.
The main problem is to make a not too loud mix that still has an acceptable definition.
And that stands and falls with the singing.
If this is not understandable, it usually does not take long until one is allowed to answer questions and answers at FoH-Platz.
Therefore, it makes sense to start the soundcheck with the vocals.
We need a vocal sound that is understandable and sufficiently loud for each genre.
With extremely poor acoustics, the telephone receiver sound is often the last resort.
One generously uses the low-cut (like up to 200 Hz) and turns the hi-cut (up to 9 kHz) so far in that the vocals just do not sound too dull.
Then you build the band around the vocals.
Very important: once we have checked the vocals, we leave the vocal microphones open as we level the rest of the band.
The crosstalk in the vocal microphones decides whether we need to optimize the band or stage setup.
A look into the dynamics section is also helpful.
DJs often find it easier to offer a transparent sound in difficult rooms than a band.
This is because the finished music was mostly compressed and has little residual dynamics.
Thus, there is hardly a place where a snare or vocals prominent from the song.
But precisely these impulses sustainably stimulate an acoustically problematic space.
It creates reflections that mix with the direct sound and thus worsen the sound.
4. What the band can do?
The biggest influence on the sound are the performers.
Arrangement and tempo of the songs also have a not inconsiderable part in the good sound.
Some bands shine in a reverberant arena with good sound, others not.
Since large rooms in the bass range are sometimes faded out over several seconds, they are the natural enemy of metal bands with consistent double-bass attacks.
The song selection can influence the sound.
"More ballads, fewer ball pieces" is not a bad idea.
In addition, the FoH man is happy about the lowest possible stage volume. Because: less crosstalk = less room excitation.
So rather use in-ear monitoring as floor wedges and put plexiglass discs in front of the drum set.
You can turn over guitar boxes or combos and let them shine in the backdrop instead of in the audience.
A Kemper amp or Axefx is often a better choice than a full stack from Marshall.
Of course, that's what the musician has to decide.
After all, the listeners want to hear the typical sound of the band.
Therefore, the tips and tricks presented here are to be understood as a suggestion for an emergency.
Hope you have found the tips useful and don't forget to share your perspective on the topic as a comment below.
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
Happy Sound Engineering !!!

Why It's Important To Raise My Child To Serve
There are so many important reasons to teach your child to serve others. Serving others helps a child learn not to be so self centered, it raises a child to be marriageable and helps them to be great employees. The most important reason to teach our children to serve is the fact that it grows them into becoming someone that God can use mightily.
If we think back to many of the Old Testament greats, they were servants. When we train our children to serve it is something that God may not have to do later on in life, think Joseph and Moses. Both of these men had to spend some time in humbling experience to teach them this concept before they could be used mightily in the plan God had for them.
Another reason that we need to teach our children to serve is that Jesus himself tells us how important it is to serve others. The religious leaders tried to trap him by asking what the greatest commandment was in Luke 10:27. "He answered, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself." How we show our love for God is by serving those around us. Create an attitude of service in your home today!
