[KO] E29: Hit That Reset Button
You can but that reset button any day of the year! It doesn't have to be New Years Day. Let's talk about what it takes to set a new intention, ParentPreneurs.
January 2, 2019
[KO] E28: Are You The Barrel Or The Bullet?
Are You the Bullet or the Barrel? ParentPreneurs often ask me things like: -how do I get things done when I work from home -how do I know what is a priority for my business -there are so many things to do, how do I know what will make money quick When you write these out, the answers are MUCH BIGGER than the simple questions. The answers are so convoluted that I hesitate to answer…especially on a free consult or when these are asked in passing. If you are new here or don't know me, I started my first online business….the one that made actual money…in 1999. I know, a long time ago. My first online business was service-based, medical transcription that first was just me and then I hired a few transcriptionists, diversified and basically was leveraging my time before I actually knew what that meant. "Digital Nomad wasn't even a thing!" But I was working from home during a time when it wasn't cool. Digital Nomad wasn't a thing yet. Oh, I wish it were. I wanted to have freedom of schedule to be home with my kids and being the free-spirited Aquarius that I am, I wanted to have more control over my life. There was a ton of other crap going on in my life, which is a totally different story, but I wanted to have SOMETHING in my life that only I controlled. I wanted to have an income stream…ooo a little foreshadowing there…and have control over when and where I worked. To understand the method behind the madness and learn your best strategy, a tad bit of backstory to share. It all makes sense. That's what you want to hear, right? Finding a way to make money working from home came out of necessity to be home with my then preschooler. She isn't a preschooler anymore…though I wish. She's finishing up graduate school as I'm recording this. Yikes. She is super smarty pants…hates when I say that but I'm the mom and pretty sure birthing her gives me deference to say so. Then came daughter #2, who by the way is also a beautiful genius…I'm allowed to say that…they are both academics. I wanted to be the free-spirited mom, the one who homeschooled or unschooled their kids. I wanted to teach them about the world by traveling. Well, they had other plans. What does this have to do with getting things done in my business, Kelly? These early days, when I didn't really know what I was doing and couldn't just Google it or go to YouTube for answers, forced me to figure it out myself. Forced me into certain habits…these are the habits, ideas, and strategy that online entrepreneurs ask me about these days. My kids, being who they were, thankfully, were not ones to plop in front of the television (Thank God) or send off to a sitter – and so not the reason why I started working from home in the first place. Saying they are academics is really true – they like the structured environment of the American public school system…even with all its faults and they love standardized tests. Yep, you heard that right. We won't go down that rabbit hole right now. Yes, at first it is just about making money. Probably the same as it is for you. You've found something you're good at, a problem you can solve, which has now opened up a ton of other problems you didn't even know you had! The Wrong Way I did it WAY WRONG at first. I worked when she was at preschool or sleeping. I mean that seemed to work well. I had a 24-hour turn around time for clients…the issue was that I didn't leave any room for contingencies. I worked 8 am to 12 pm. And 8 pm to 12 am. I became a master of productivity and efficiency until…. Read the entire transcript at https://kellyo.com/be-the-barrel-parentpreneur-productivity-tips/

There is a worldwide decline in the 'ideas industry'. No one is thinking about the present and future of the mankind. The free market has caused a free fall. Growing up on the Mall of the fifties and the sixties one could not escape the interactions that took place at several places. There is a long list of which only Pak Tea House has survived (Coffee House, Cheney's Launch Home, Naigna Bakery, YMCA Restaurant, Gardenia, Lords, Shezan Continental, Shezan Oriental, Indus Hotel, and Flattes Cafe comes to mind). A cross section of the society was there that included: writers, poets, intellectuals, lawyers, politicians, students, businessmen, bureaucrats, sportsmen, teachers, publishers, printers, journalists, everyone was covered and heard.
Shezan Oriental (Dyal Singh Mansion or Gol Building) continued till the nineties when it was burnt down through arson. Even the cafeteria of the Old Campus was an interesting place and so was the university itself. Shifting of this oldest seat of learning out of the city centre to its present location was an ill-conceived idea. In this move the cross-section interaction of the people was lost. Visiting the library was an experience in itself. Thank God the Punjab Public library is still there behind the Museum and so is the National College of Arts (NCA). The Tollington Market with its bakeries and stores was another meeting place which has now long gone.
Worldwide the ideas industry includes: universities, colleges, non-profit think tanks, for profit consultants, newspapers, magazines, electronic media that comes to mind. In a profit driven world the non-profit think tanks are being cornered as independent free thinking is no longer required, the paid consultants are highly desirable. Research has lost its meaning and direction.
In the princely states of India scholars and artists were financially supported through stipends enabling them to continue their work for common good. The musicians of the 'Patiala Gharana' or the scholars of 'Batala' are well known. Promotion of culture and scholarship was laid on their shoulders. The famous actor and playwright Dr. Anwar Sajjad had to earn a living through medical practice to pursue his scholarly interests. My own uncle (Mamu) Dr. Saleem Wahid Saleem dedicated his innings for the promotion of Urdu poetry and language, as his practice declined the family fell on hard times. To cover for him, my mother had to create a family fund to financially support him, while he continued to focus on his writings. Till the end he was convinced that his monthly stipend was supported by the state.
In a conference in Ispahan a speaker read a very meaningful Persian verse; 'Tehkeek-e-Insani Fakhar-e-Zimeen Ast' (Human research is the pride of the earth). Without the research and free thinking human society cannot advance. The decline of the ideas industry has to be taken seriously. Change through innovation is the only way forward for mankind to survive and grow.
The question is whether the world is running out of fresh ideas or the thinking is being deliberately curtailed and channelised for vested interests. Hoarding of ideas has become a menace of the information age that we live in. The troubleshooters have determined that free thinkers are troublesome and have to be done away with. Common good has been replaced with individual gains, and that is why rich are getting richer while poverty is on the rise. The term 'Skewed Globalisation' is being used to define this phenomenon.
Certainly the process of ideas generation continues but the platforms for its propagation have either diminished or in unholy controls. In the information age disinformation is dominant making the future of mankind uncertain. In the nineteenth century Karl Marx came up with the slogan, 'workers of the world unite' now a new narrative is needed "thinkers of the world get together'. The ideas Industry' has to be revived and kept healthy for human race to prosper.
On the home front Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was perhaps the first political party to have Think Tanks, there were four of them (Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Overseas). Policy frameworks were prepared and then presented to the leadership for open discussion. Comrade Ahsan Rashid President Punjab and a founding member of the party was the spirit behind this effort. Then a 'Shadow Cabinet' or 'Spokespersons' were also appointed to cover various ministries. The system remained functional till the death of the Chou-en-Lai of PTI. Then the election fever took over. Thinking was replaced with electoral action on the ground while every other activity was binned. Now the party is in power, it is time to rethink by reviving the 'Think Tanks' and to start the thought process that was un-necessarily stalled. In the words of Dr. Iqbal 'Jehan-e-Taza ki Afkar-e-Taza se hae Namood (Only fresh ideas can keep the world fresh). Pakistan too needs this freshness, for which new direction, innovation and out of the box approaches have to be adopted to break the shackles of status-quo. My appeal is to keep the thought process alive, "thinkers of the world unite to secure the future of mankind".
The Writer is Ex-Chairman, Pakistan Science Foundation.

Difference between col-lg and col-md and col-xs
Nov 10 2014
10550 Views
The Bootstrap 3 grid comes in 4 sizes. Tiny (for smartphones .col-xs-), Small (for tablets .col-sm-), Medium (for laptops .col-md-) and Large (for laptops/desktops .col-lg-). The 3 grid sizes enable you to control grid behavior on different devices like desktop, laptops, tablet, smartphone, etc..,
List of sizes:
- Extra small devices Phones (<768px)
- Small devices Tablets (≥768px)
- Medium devices Desktops (≥992px)
- Large devices Desktops (≥1200px)
Syntax of a Bootstrap column class name:
. {prefix} - {when to collapse} - {number of grid columns to occupy}
- The prefix in the above is col, indicating that the element is a part of the Bootstrap column system.
- The when to collapse option ( xs, sm, md or lg) indicate at what width the columns should stop being displayed inline and collapse to be positioned above each other instead.
- The number of grid columns to occupy indicates how large portion of the whole row the classable element should occupy. A whole row is made up of a total of 12 columns in Bootstrap.
The collapsing widths are currently defined as follows:
- xs - the grid is horizontal at all times, the container is styled as width: auto, meaning it will take up all the space currently available.
- sm - the grid is horizontal past a breaking point of 750px of width.
- md - ibid (as previously), but from 970px.
- lg - ibid, but from 1170px.

Boston rap duo G. Dot & Born take some time out to show some love to the wonderful ladies in their lives in their latest video titled "She's so perfect".
The video is directed by D. Baines, who has previously worked with notable acts including Akon and Young Dolph, and he brings a cinematic vision to the romantic rap anthem. This means crisp and high-def footage of G. Dot & Born enjoying the finer things with their equally fine women at their side. Whether they're just out on the town or getting cozy in the bedroom, the two emcees are keen on making good of the promises in their verses.
The single itself was released earlier this year and produced by Cxdy, though it's not taken from any forthcoming release from the pair. G. Dot & Born may be more focused on their individual pursuits at the moment—particularly Born's steady-rising solo career that has included the explosive "Hot Topic" single—but they'll always connect as a duo and put on for their city. And they're doing it in the tradition of their mentor, Boston rap veteran, Edo G, who we can safely say must be proud of his students.

Target 2. Leadership in a Student Centered Learning Environment– FWSU will foster development of teacher & student leaders who provide innovative opportunities for local and global student-centered learning.
Action Step–Develop learning habits, communication and problem-solving skills necessary for collaborative learning and leadership.
Indicator of Success – Teachers embrace role of coach, facilitator and co-learner in a student-centered learning environment.
The world is a big place for middle school students!
In order to get a firmer grasp on the concept of absolute location, which is one of the 5 themes of geography, BFA 6th Graders were recently welcomed back by Elementary 5th Grade teachers. Students presented procedures on the use of latitude and longitude for finding locations around the globe.
The 6th graders created presentations with the Explain Everything app on their iPads which detailed the procedure of how to find exact locations. Maps, text, voice recordings, and laser pointers all helped students to prepare their procedures.
Presenting to an authentic audience (and a few old friends!) really helped students' understanding of key geography concepts. The 5th Grade teachers were very supportive, enjoyed seeing their former students in a "teaching role", and reported on the positive feedback they received from the 5th Grade classes.
This is just one of the ways that student learning is enhanced through leadership. In a leadership role, students have the opportunity to collaborate with others, present their learning to authentic audiences, and foster a positive learning environment in our schools.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Thursday denied the need for the deployment of nuclear weapons on his country's soil despite the threat presented by the North as it may lead to a nuclear arms race in the region.
"I do not agree that South Korea needs to develop our own nuclear weapons or relocate tactical nuclear weapons in the face of North Korea's nuclear threat…. To respond to North Korea by having our own nuclear weapons will not maintain peace on the Korean Peninsula and could lead to a nuclear arms race in northeast Asia," Moon told the CNN broadcaster.
Commenting on US President Donald Trump's recent tweet, Moon noted that Trump's words should not be interpreted "in a narrow way."
South Korea is finding, as I have told them, that their talk of appeasement with North Korea will not work, they o… https://t.co/MDCwHwwibP— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTranp) 3 сентября 2017 г.
"I believe what President Trump wanted to say was that, not only South Korea and the United States, but also China and Russia all together need to respond very firmly against North Korea's nuclear provocations," Moon explained.
Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have been high over recent months due to Pyongyang's repeated missile and nuclear tests on the one hand, and South Korea's joint military drills with the United States and deployment of the US weapons on its soil, on the other.
On Monday, the United Nations Security Council unanimously agreed to boost sanctions against North Korea, introducing a ban on the country's textile exports and a cap on crude oil imports, while also forbidding imports of all condensates and natural gas liquids.

Implementing a Circular Economy in the Tire Industry
Development and Innovation Over a billion scrap tires are wasted every year, but methods of rescuing the materials in the tires are possible and curb our wasteful tire habits.
Every year, the world creates over one billion scrap tires. Currently, about 50 percent of them are burned as fuel. A socially responsible circular economy opportunity for tires exists, yet there are a number of challenges that must be addressed first.
Tire recycling is not a simple task, as tire rubber contains a host of additives used during manufacturing, making the scraps difficult to reuse in new, quality products.
Large volumes of scrap tires are shredded into crumb rubber and used in secondary applications such as synthetic turf, playground fill, and molded products. Although these uses are better than burning, other higher value-added options are becoming available as technology advances.
Best practices in recycling
Pyrolysis is one viable option. It's a process of thermal decomposition where scrap tires are exposed to extreme heat to recover oil, carbon black or char, and metal components. Another, more promising option is a new technology called devulcanization, which is the process of rendering scrap tire rubber usable through a process of thermal-mechanical extrusion.
Proper devulcanization allows scrap tire rubber to be repurposed in new tires in meaningful amounts. For the first time, with this method, it's possible to enable a truly circular economy where end-of-life products can be reused for their originally intended purpose rather than being repurposed in down-cycled products.
Devulcanization provides an incredible opportunity to revolutionize the way the tire industry uses resources and can lower carbon footprints. Since tire manufacturing uses the majority of the world's rubber supply, devulcanization can deliver immense potential impact, but it will take collaboration and cooperation among stakeholders — tire producers, recyclers, innovators, solution providers, governments, and consumers — to produce the most beneficial effects.
Rolling towards a circular economy
While cooperation is required, the change to a circular economy does not need to disrupt current business practices. Rather, it can be formed by properly aligning individual linear economies.
Major challenges to implementing a sustainability-focused process include getting tire manufacturers on board to accelerate widespread adoption of devulcanization, improving quality in scrap tire processing, and changing the public perception that recycled material is inferior.
We need to start asking ourselves what the cost is of not recycling tires for optimal resource reuse and what opportunities can be found in minimizing the generation of greenhouse gases from the production of new tire rubber. The opportunity is here. Our future generations are depending on a sustainable approach to manufacturing.

Vale Sabre Cats are hostile animals in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard.
They can only be found in the Forgotten Vale and Darkfall Cave. They can be distinguished from the regular sabre cats by their purple and brown mottled coat and by having less fur than the other variants, making them slimmer. Additionally, vale sabre cats emit a slight purple bio-luminescence that is extinguished upon death.
- The Vale Sabre Cat Hide produces four pieces of leather when used at a tanning rack.

Young rabbis planning local Passover Seder celebration
March 30, 2018
Quality Inn Paradise Creek will host Passover Seder, a Hebrew event, to celebrate the end of enslavement of the Jewish people in Egypt over 3,000 years ago.
Levi Greenbaum, a rabbi who helped plan the event, said remembering Exodus is a significant event for Jews and even many other people.
The event will take place tonight at 7:45 p.m. at the Quality Inn. The time is specific to the event because Greenbaum said some of the rituals, like the drinking of one of the four cups of wine, must be done only after nightfall. On Saturday night, the event will take place at 8 p.m. because they are not allowed to set up before the end of Shabbat, a Jewish day of prayer.
After eating some of the traditional meal options, including the sacred cracker matzah, the group will drink four cups of wine as a sign of redemption. They will then tell the story of Exodus, when Moses led the Jews from Egypt as newly freed people. They will take time to answer any questions, especially those from local children, because Greenbaum said it's important that all aspects of the celebration are fully understood.
"Passover isn't just a nice, traditional thing about remembering something that happened 3,000 years ago," Greenbaum said. "It's celebrating the freedom of all people. People should be able to think, to not be held back, to be free. It's a reminder of something that happened a long time ago, but it's definitely applicable to today."

Zach Ertz
Zach Ertz is a beast in the tight end position. He was the most targeted tight end last season and posted the second-most fantasy points of all tight ends. Even with new additions to the Philadelphia Eagles like Desean Jackson, Ertz is still projected to be a top-three tight end this upcoming season and will receive a bunch of targets again. With Carson Wentz at the helm, Ertz averaged an unbelievable 7.5 receptions a game. Ertz is guaranteed to receive a huge number of targets this season, but it will cost you an early pick for in your draft. .
Carson Wentz
Carson Wentz was on a tear back in 2017 for the 13 games before his torn ACL. Last season was not nearly as special, but Wentz was dealing with injury and was never 100% ready to play. However, this season he is back to health and has a bunch of help with the 2019 offense. A good line, receivers, and running backs are just what he needs to return to the level he was playing at in 2017. Wentz is ranked around 9 in most projections, but I see him as a top-five fantasy quarterback this season if he stays healthy.
Alshon Jeffrey
Alshon Jeffrey is a great second receiver on a fantasy team. He is going to get targets and is a well-balanced receiver seeing both short passes and long balls. The Eagles are never hesitant to target him in the endzone, and although he is not the superstar — throw it up and he'll catch it. He is consistently getting open and catching the ball. Alshon Jeffrey will be a reliable receiver for whoever gets him. With Desean Jackson running around and Ertz getting the most targets, it will allow Alshon not to get locked down and continue being a consistently solid receiver for fantasy.
Miles Sanders vs Jordan Howard
One of the more interesting backfields in the NFL is the Eagles'. The Birds acquired Howard over the offseason and drafted Miles Sanders out of Penn State with their third-round pick. Howard, who is coming off his third straight top-20 fantasy season, will likely receive the bulk of the carries Week 1, but could potentially see a big share of his carries start going to the rookie. Sanders is a much better pass catcher out of the backfield, is currently projected to outperform Howard. With that being said, Doug Pederson has been known to use all of his backs in the run game, which poses as a potential threat to both Sanders and Howard.

Jenks (Okla.) High School teacher Clifton Raphael works with two student producers on their documentary.
I may not have been literally tearing my hair out, but I was frantically running my fingers through my hair and am sure few precious follicles were lost in the process.
I'm the film and TV teacher at Jenks High School, in a suburb of Tulsa, Okla. One of my students, Crystal Kayiza, was editing her short documentary about the historic black town of Boley, Okla.
This was Crystal's third year in my program, and as often happens with my seasoned students, those who've "drunk the Kool-Aid," Crystal had begun to excel at production values. This piece boasted artistic shots, expert pacing and visual variety.
However, the piece still wasn't working―we both knew it, but we didn't know why.
After watching it over and over, I got up and paced, and that's when I assaulted my hair. Before I began teaching a decade ago, I worked 24 years in local broadcasting in Memphis and in Virginia as a newscast director and special projects producer. You'd think all that experience would have given me the answer, but I really think the pacing and hair-pulling are what did the trick.
"I've got it!"
I don't know if it's the fact that I had her solution that made Crystal smile, or if it was how crazy my hair now looked.
The answer was simple―embarrassingly so, since it's the reason why most stories don't work: "Why should I care?"
As Crystal had constructed the piece so far, she'd done a great job of providing a history of the town, how this group of African Americans had single-handedly carved out a space of their own in a part of the country where you might least expect it. However, the present-day Boley was at risk of dying out, as young people left for opportunities and didn't return.
But why should anyone else―aside from native Boleyans―care if the town died out?
My wife Laura, a brilliant and beautiful librarian, provided the final puzzle piece when she secured for Crystal an interview with a library colleague who once led guided tours of Oklahoma's historically black communities.
Why Should We Care?
So what's that answer? Why should the rest of us care about Boley?
Watch the film to find out… it's in the Cinema Plus section of our web site of student films: jpscinema.com
That's where you'll find other student films answering that same essential question: Why we should care about an eight-year-old girl whose brother faces severe physical challenges or about a father whose son was bullied or about a 92-year-old survivor of the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921?
Since the school district and I launched this video program 10 years ago, we've concentrated on stories. From the outset, I wanted my students to produce stories that viewers would keep watching, and no high school-produced TV show I'd ever channel-surfed upon fit that definition.
Would high school students even be capable of such work? It took a few years of experimentation, but I learned that the answer is "yes."
I learned that you can nudge (okay, sometimes push) students beyond the typical YouTube video toward work that makes people exclaim, "A high school student did that?"
So how do we do it? Working mostly in teams of two, my students produce four short documentary pieces in the course of a school year, with one main week of after-school shooting per piece. They spend four to six weeks of class time editing each piece, with extra shooting days provided for pick-up shots or additional interviews.
As they edit, I float from team to team, providing guidance on issues such as shot and soundbite selection, pacing and structure. When the videos are finished, we spend four days critiquing the short docs as a class. We always start with what worked, then go into detail on how to strengthen both the story and the production values.
Eventually, if they persevere, my students invariably drink the Kool-Aid and reap the sweet rewards.
These rewards include such things as full-ride scholarships to the Roy H. Park School of Communications at Ithaca College; the first entirely high school-produced program on our statewide PBS affiliate; the top awards in the most prestigious national high school video competitions (including all-expense-paid trips to New York and Miami to study filmmaking); and many individual cash awards ranging from $1,000 to $10,000.
Oh, and Crystal's short doc about the historic black town of Boley? It won a Heartland Regional Emmy, and in the professional (not the student) division, beating out the work of two Denver TV stations and tying for the honor with the Denver Post.
Why don't all high school or college programs achieve this level of success? Surely their students are "drinking the Kool-Aid" too? Yes, but I think one of the advantages is that mine is sugar-free.
Students quickly learn that I don't sugar-coat my advice and guidance. As one of my star filmmakers told a local paper, "As a student who has been pampered all through my school career, I felt that sometimes my ideas were better than his. But as time goes by I say, 'Wow, he was actually right.'"
So now what do we do? How do you top an Emmy? We'd love to compete for a student Academy Award, but only college students are eligible.
Therefore, I've set my sights on mixing up tastier pitchers of Kool-Aid, so good that my students will gulp it down in gallons.
Then maybe they'll win more, perhaps even sweeter, rewards. But you can be sure that I'll always keep my Kool-Aid sugar-free.

One of the reasons African-Americans find Black progress and true freedom difficult is because many African-Americans are scared!
They are afraid to stand up, afraid to speak out, afraid to unite, afraid to organize, afraid to defend themselves – and afraid to protect themselves, their women, their children and their communities!
Do for self
In a capitalist country like the United States, economic freedom is necessary. We must control the economy of Black communities. We must find ways to generate revenue for ourselves to create jobs for our people and to end the dependence on others outside of our community for our maintenance and survival.
More often than not, no one is seeking to hire Blacks but Blacks. So-called corporate diversity is merely modern-day tokenism. The devil doesn't like Affirmative Action, quotas and Black set-asides for us, but they are quick to say, "We hire Blacks and women. Look at Jemima. She is both Black and female!"
I'm old enough to remember a time when Black families could buy everything they needed from Black businesses in the Black community. There were Black-owned grocery stores, clothing stores, restaurants, taxi companies, hotels, car dealers, dry cleaners, home builders, insurance companies, banks, media companies and more right in Black neighborhoods.
We should go back to those times, but African-Americans are afraid to do that.
It didn't matter
I remember when anybody Black could join Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association. Christians worked right alongside Muslims; the educated worked with the less educated; light-skinned Blacks got along with darker-skinned Blacks; and so on.
Today, the Crips are afraid to trust the Bloods, the Alphas want nothing to do with the Ques, the Links can't deal with the Eastern Stars, and graduates of HCBUs won't even consider doing projects with Blacks that attended predominately White universities!
Peril and danger are real. But fear is voluntary!
If we are afraid to assist, help and do business with each other, we are afraid of ourselves.
All the same
We are all in the same bag, in the same boat. Those of us who are scared, meek and afraid to do what's necessary to progress will get beaten, shot, killed or jailed just as quick as the Blacks that will protest and fight for equal rights and justice!
In the ghetto, they beat you, mistreat you and disrespect you just like devilish people wil beat you, mistreat you and disrespect you in the suburbs!
If we were not afraid of our past and ignorant about our culture and our journey for survival in America, we would know that fear is not an option!
Where would we be if Nat Turner, Denmark Vesey, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, Medgar Evers and others were as afraid as you are?
Don't ever be scared to do the right things! We should not fear economic, religious, judicial and other freedoms. Freedom is a good thing to have and to fight for.

Police officers helped save a man's life who was believed to be driving under the influence in Westland, Michigan, last month.
"Westland police released video of the ordeal, which happened on June 21 and involved police pulling the man out of his burning car after he was doing donuts at an intersection," according to Fox 2.
When the officers were called to Ford and Venoy Road just before 1 a.m., they saw a blue Chevy Traverse repeatedly circling in reverse.
"This guy's conscious. He's holding the wheel," one officer said in video footage of the incident.
Moments later, the vehicle came to a stop and smoke was seen coming out from under its hood.
When the officers approached the car, they told the man to get out because it was on fire. However, he did not move and told officers he was "going to the hospital" while they continued urging him to get out of the burning vehicle.
As one policeman attempted to pull the man out by his leg, another exclaimed, "He's got a knife! He's got a knife!" and told the man to drop what turned out to be a razor blade, which he finally did.
The officers were eventually able to get the driver out of the car and took him to a grassy area where he was handcuffed.
"After the driver was restrained officers spoke with him and determined that there was sufficient evidence to place him under arrest for operating a vehicle while under the influence of a controlled substance, and for driving on a suspended license," the Fox report noted.
The man was checked for additional injuries at Garden City Hospital then released back into police custody.
Since that time, he has been released from custody with his blood results pending.
"Clearly these officers are not jumping to extremes. They are showing a great deal of compassion, they're handling situations and saving people's lives," Westland police Lt. Bob Wilkie explained.
"We do go through de-escalating training; we have been doing that for a while here and these are some of the tactics that are shown in a very tense situation coming to use," he concluded.

National League South: Wealdstone ready to bring curtain down on campaign
PUBLISHED: 10:00 26 April 2018
©TGS Photo tgsphoto.co.uk +44 1376 553468
Stones host Oxford City on Thursday and visit Whitehawk on Saturday
Wealdstone will bring their season to a close with their final two games of the current National League South campaign this week.
Stones host Oxford City at Grosvenor Vale on Thursday night, before ending the term at already-relegated Whitehawk on Saturday.
Bobby Wilkinson's men will hope to continue their recent good form having collected four points from two games earlier this week.
Wealdstone drew 4-4 at home to Chippenham Town in a crazy game on Saturday, before easing to a 3-0 success when hosting East Thurrock United on Monday.
Regardless of what happens in their final two games this season, Stones can reflect on a solid campaign.
Wilkinson can also look back with pride on their FA Trophy run, even if it ultimately ended in disappointment in the semi-finals.
The Wealdstone boss will hope his team can use that as a platform for success next term as they look to crack the top seven in the division.

Chief Investment Officer's team, 19.05.2019
Even as the two conflicting parties in the ongoing trade confrontation appear to be nowhere near an agreement, the global recovery remains on a weak footing. Industrial production and retail sales both in the US and China were softer for the month of April, adding to concerns that slower earnings growth ahead and a firm dollar could further undermine business sentiment.
Until tariff concerns lift, equities are likely to trade in a holding pattern and safe-havens linger in overbought territory. The lofty US dollar, although expensive according to Real Effective Exchange Rate models, reflects a premium for resilient US growth and higher policy rates against major countries globally. US long-dated Treasuries, offering no protection against future inflation or a pickup in the growth rate of the economy, are underpinned by Fed dovishness and high geopolitical risks. Gold, still in the doldrums, should rebound to the upper end of its current range, as trade tensions, according to our base-case scenario, spike before eventually subsiding.
In spite of growing near term uncertainties, recessionary risks continue to be contained, with policy support and global unemployment near record lows providing strong offsets to the existing headwinds. The usual harbingers of a downturn, overinvestment and restrictive policy, remain notably absent in the current cycle. This favourable backdrop informs our medium-term constructive view on risk assets.
Cross-asset considerations
Major events on the global scene are pointing to an increasingly polarized world. Opposing blocks are engaged in clashes of historical memory, causing rising geopolitical uncertainty and in financial markets the continued outperformance of safer US-centric assets. The US-China stand-off marks a major turning point in the relationship between the two countries and in US trade policy, even as populist tendencies spread across Europe to affect the upcoming elections to the European Union's parliament concluding on May 26.
Mr. Trump has broken with the multi-decade-long US tradition of supporting free global trade, which has boosted the rise of the emerging countries, the global integration of supply chains and the thriving of the open German economy. Research teams in investment houses are gradually coming round to the new reality that the increased US tariffs on USD 200bn worth of Chinese goods' may well become permanent. It is interesting, and at the same time deeply concerning, to observe that global trade as a percentage of GDP in the last 60 years has moved in the opposite direction to the average US tariff rate on imports, which under Mr. Trump is rising by an unprecedented extent. Will the new protectionist order make a durable dent in the developing countries' and Germany's growth rates? While it is extremely difficult to make such forecasts, we can say with more confidence that in the short term we are unlikely to have seen the full disruptive effects of higher tariffs on the business cycle and asset markets.
Although according to different models the global economy should not be suffering too much unless a full-blown trade war breaks out, those same models last year underestimated the second-round effects on business confidence, which dropped more than expected and caused a marked slowdown in investments. The probability that the two leaders will agree to a deal at the G20 meeting has lowered somewhat, following the recent heightened brinkmanship. As a consequence, US markets should continue to outperform in the short term as uncertainty rises. While a deeper retracement should be expected, we do not see a double-digit crash either, since positioning across equities remains far from extreme, making the asset class less vulnerable than in Q4 last year.
As the Euro area parliamentary elections approach, tension between populist and the more traditional parties increases. Were populist parties to win big, they would be unlikely to build a cohesive enough front to disrupt legislative processes and jeopardize European values. Yet, the declarations of Matteo Salvini's, the Italian populist PM following in Trump's footsteps who advocates for a "fiscal shock" to boost growth, have been enough to see the spread between the Italian BTP and the German Bund widen and the euro weaken further against the US dollar.
Attempts to make America great again are likely to be depressing global growth in the end, attempts to shake the existing order in Europe could see it sink further.
Fixed Income Update
US benchmark Treasuries in a tight trading pattern with yields below the 2.40% level underpinned by the safe haven bid while the German Bunds and UK Gilts also strengthening by over 3bps to 6bps to yield -0.10% and 1.03% respectively. The biggest gainers over the week were Portugal and Italian bonds strengthening by over 10bps in absolute yield terms to 1.04% and 2.65% respectively. Some gains on the Eurodollars futures pointing to market expectations of pricing in close to 30bps of cuts by the December FOMC meeting and two full cuts into July 2020 FOMC. The effective fed funds rate fell to 2.39% at last weeks close.
Capital outflows continue within emerging markets. EM Local-currency and Hard-currency debt funds faced their largest weekly outflows YTD. The scale of outflows from EM Local-currency debt funds has been large, and outflows are likely to continue. Almost 79% of inflows have been towards the EM local-currency debt and have been channeled through ETFs, and only 21% to active funds so far, this year. This positioning makes EM local currency debt more vulnerable and volatile during market stress, particularly with US-China impasse.
Chinese primary bond sales have surged totaling 3.6 trillion yuan or USD 522bn in April. The stock of Treasury bond issuance amounted to Yuan 465bn, while local government bond issuance was worth Yuan 226bn, according to a statement by the People's Bank of China. China will accelerate local government bond issuance this year to help the timely implementation of various projects. The debt balance of local governments stood at Yuan 18.39tn at the end of 2018, well below the official ceiling of Yuan 21tn. As of April-end, the size of the outstanding bond market debt was Yuan 90.1tn. Credit growth in China eased last month and remains accommodative for economic growth expansion, in our view. The aggregate social financing growth rose 10.3% (stock basis) YoY for April 2019 driven by RMB denominated bank loans, corporate bonds and local government debt. The Chinese industrial production rose by a modest 5.4% year-over-year in April, down from 8.5% in March, and below the consensus of 6.5%, slowed by manufacturing and mining.
On credit markets, Asian investment-grade outperformed Asian high-yield on the back of uncertainty over US-China trade rhetoric. On a total return basis, Asia IG delivered 30bps of positive returns compared to minus 32bps of returns in Asia HY. Sovereign and Quasi-Sovereign bonds dominated top performing sectors over the week while laggard were high yielding non-financial corporates. In GCC, regional geopolitics were the main drivers for widening credit spreads. The benchmark GCC broad aggregate credit index widened to 171bps (in spread terms) from this month's lows of 153bps to yield at just 4% while the composite UAE investment-grade index has had a modest spread correction of 11bps MTD to 133bps at an index yield of 3.66% on an effective duration of 4.92 years.
Equity Update
The S&P 500 seems to be moving in a range, with support at 2800 and resistance at 2900. This is consistent with our year end fair value of 2825. The recent earnings season has been supportive, as have good numbers on consumer sentiment, both of which helped mitigate the concerns over US China trade Issues. The delay of auto tariffs and the lifting of Mexican/Canadian metals tariffs were also rays of hope in a week fraught with geopolitical concerns. Positive earnings reports from Wal-Mart & Cisco overshadowed a ratcheting up of trade tensions, as US companies were banned from doing business with Huawei, putting pressure on the supply-chain. Cisco gave a bullish sales and profit forecast for the current period, a positive sign on corporations infrastructure spending. Walmart remains focused on growing its ecommerce activities and forecast online sales growth to accelerate 35% in fiscal 2020. The retailer, however, warned that tariffs will translate into higher prices for shoppers.
Consumption has been and remains the bedrock of the mid to high single digits economic growth in China and India. Traction in China is maintained by the increasing spend on upmarket products such as luxury watches and apparel whilst in India white goods still have plenty of room to grow. The China market could however remain volatile till stimulus successfully counters the potential economic fallout of tariffs. For the MSCI India Index Year to date returns in Dollar terms are flat and we went overweight India last week. As we wrote earlier in the year, we expect the market to be agnostic as to the election outcome as long as there is a clear mandate. Exit polls are showing. PM Modi's ruling coalition is poised for victory. The focus for the new government will have to remain on job creation, encouragement of the private sector investment and management of credit risk. An unhelpful global growth environment is creating its own quagmire.
Alibaba and Tencent make up c. 30% of the MSCI China Index and are also the poster stocks of China. However the exponential growth of Tencent is now slowing whilst at Alibaba margins look to be in jeopardy. Q1 Revenue rose 16% for Tencent however at the slowest pace since it went public in 2004. The FinTech division was a standout with revenues up 44%, driven by WeChat payments, insurance services and cloud computing. Sales at Alibaba increased 51% with 83% of sales from commerce activities, indicating shoppers are spending more but this was in contradiction to China retail sales for April, with growth decelerating to 7.2%, the slowest pace in 16 years.
The Tadawul Index (12.1% YTD, total returns) reversed direction at the end of last week, recovering from the selloff which began 10 days ago. With a total of 30 Tadawul stocks to be added to the MSCI EM index, this inclusion is expected to boost trading in the Kingdom's stock exchange and attract foreign investment. The UAE indices however gave up some of their strong year to date gains, except for a mid-week rally on the real estate stocks that retained their MSCI EM status. Index rebalancing also led to some repositioning in the MSCI EM constituent names.

Sad news from our friends at Alligator Records:
Famed Chicago-based blues saxophonist, vocalist, songwriter and bandleader A.C. Reed – a leading elder figure and the best-known sax player of the Chicago blues scene – died Wednesday, February 25, 2004, from complications due to cancer. He was 77.
During the course of his career, Reed played his fat-toned, elegantly simple tenor sax with artists like Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Son Seals both on stage and on record, as well as leading his own band, the Spark Plugs.
His three solo albums and numerous singles all featured his wry, humorous songs – some of which have been covered by other artists including Magic Slim, Charlie Musselwhite and Eddie Shaw.
Born Aaron Corthen in Wardell, Missouri in 1926, and raised in downstate Illinois, A.C. first heard blues saxophone on an Erskine Hawkins 78 he heard on a jukebox. He was so inspired by the sound of the big honking horn, he decided he wanted to learn how to play the saxophone. DownBeat called Reed, "one of the blues' most incisive originals."
He moved to Chicago in early 1942 and found work at a steel mill. With his first paycheck, he bought a saxophone at a pawnshop. He studied at the Chicago Conservatory of Music for a few years, emulating his musical hero, tenor man Gene Ammons. While working at the mill during the day, Reed began gigging on weekends with a variety of blues combos, eventually coming under the tutelage of J.T. Brown, Elmore James' tenor sax player.
By the end of the 1940s, Reed was gigging regularly with Willie Mabon and Earl Hooker. During the 1950s he toured across the Midwest and Southwest with Hooker and Dennis "Long Man" Binder. Returning to Chicago in the early 1960s, Reed became an in-demand session player for the Chief and Age labels, and recorded his first single for Age, "This Little Voice," in 1961.
He recorded more singles for Age, USA, Nike and a few other small Chicago labels during the rest of the decade, while playing regularly in the city's blues clubs.
Reed joined with Buddy Guy and Junior Wells' band in 1967, toured Africa with Guy and Wells, and even joined the Rolling Stones tour (still as a member of Guy's band) in 1970. He left Guy's band in 1977 and joined first Son Seals and then Albert Collins, with whom he spent over a decade as a member of Collins' band, The Icebreakers. Reed recorded with Seals and Collins on their seminal Alligator Records albums, including Collins' groundbreaking releases Ice Pickin' (Grammy-nominated), Frostbite, Don't Lose Your Cool, and Live In Japan; and Seals' powerful Live And Burnin'.
Reed's exposure with Collins led to a reinvigorated solo career. He recorded four songs for Alligator's "Living Chicago Blues" anthology series in 1980 and an album for his own Ice Cube label, "Take These Blues And Shove 'Em," in 1982. By 1983 Reed was performing regularly with his own band, The Spark Plugs, logging over 250 performances a year. Reed's 1987 Alligator album "I'm In The Wrong Business" featured cameos from Bonnie Raitt and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Reed constantly performed and recorded throughout the years. He worked in clubs and at blues festivals all over the country. Besides his Alligator and Ice Cube releases, he recorded for the Austrian Wolf label and appeared on albums by Lousie Miranda and Larry Davis & Byther Smith in the early 1990s. His two final solo albums – the 1998 "Junk Food" on Delmark and the 2002 "I Got Money" on the French Black And Blue label – both received positive critical acclaim and maintained Reed's status as a seminal Chicago blues figure.
He is survived by a sister, Sarah Corthen of Carbondale, IL.

All four of our team members are from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. At the end of every semester, Northeastern asks students to submit evaluations for their courses, and this data is later made available to all students via a web application called TRACE. However, TRACE is hidden away in the Northeastern portal and can be slow, unintuitive, and difficult to use. We scraped data from the TRACE system and turned it into a simpler, cleaner course evaluation lookup tool for the Northeastern community.
What it does
SearchTRACE is a web-based lookup tool that allows users to search for courses or professors and see aggregated data from students' previous evaluation.
How we built it
We scraped our data using Selenium to simulate single sign on login and parsed our data using python, ultimately aggregating TRACE data into metrics. Elasticsearch helps us search our data for course or professor names, and we host our Elasticsearch database server on Google Cloud. We host our backend on Zeit Now, and our front end is built in React.
Challenges we ran into
Coordinating and organizing different layers of the project was a challenge for us because of the number of elements and technologies involved in our web app. Collecting the data from the TRACE system was challenging as well because the single sign on authentication was difficult to pass through with just python form libraries. Additionally, handling the data from the TRACE server and finding useful interpretations of the data was an interesting but challenging part of our process.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
In terms of technical accomplishments, we're proud of the complexity we achieved in such a short period of time. Managing to generate so much code and successfully integrate it together is something we didn't know if we'd be able to do, and we're proud that we achieved it. More importantly, we're proud to have built a tool that can be used by members of Northeastern University student body to aid in course registration and planning.
What we learned
We learned a lot about data scraping, parsing, and manipulation in the process of aggregating TRACE data. We also learned about Elasticsearch which was new to us, as well as more about React in the front end.
What's next for SearchTRACE
There is a lot more useful information, such as comments, that can be displayed on our site, as well as more interesting and usable visualizations. Other features, like being able to filter searches by prerequisites or department, would also enhance the SearchTRACE tool. Additionally, before rolling this out, we would need a login page to verify Northeastern email addresses and ensure that the tool retains the current privacy of Northeastern TRACE evaluations.

Bugged and bored, KC and I headed for this movie…

When Diana Ekonomou sat down with a young lady (11 years old) who had severe eczema, she wanted to use her knowledge of essential oils to help.
Diana was still a student of Aromahead's ACP (Aromatherapy Certification Program) at the time.
The young lady came to Diana as one of her Case Studies. Case Studies are the hands-on work that ACP students do with real-world "clients" to make therapeutic blends that help them.
The girl's mother and doctors had all but exhausted the solutions offered by "modern medicine." Even the doctors did not know exactly how to ease her suffering. It was affecting the client's everyday life.
Diana sat down with the girl and her mother for an intake. They discussed the girl's issues and the things she had already tried, and Diana had her smell a few essential oils.
The young girl loved the essential oils!
This did not surprise Diana—after all, essential oils smell amazing. They are easy to love!
But what did surprise her was when the girl asked, "Where do the oils come from and how are they processed?"
Sometimes, teaching a client a little about how essential oils work and where they come from can deepen the client's trust—not only in how effective Aromatherapy can be, but in the Aromatherapist herself, too.
Diana says she "fired up the computer and started showing her photos of the plants and the distillation process. She was totally amazed and decided that she was going to do more research and write a science paper on essential oils."
I can only imagine the young lady's interest in essential oils deepened when Diana's blend was effective in soothing her eczema. The skin condition calmed down, and using a different blend for maintenance, it has not returned. (Diana shared the blends with us below!)
There is nothing like experiencing relief of an ongoing, chronic, painful condition to show someone how effective essential oils can be!
I am so proud of Diana, and so happy for her client. Thanks to Diana's love of education, the Aromatherapy community has another member who is interested in the research and science of essential oils!
As for Diana, she loved the ACP so much that she decided to continue her education, and enrolled in the AGP—the Advanced Graduate Program—to learn even more essential oil chemistry.
"Seeing the success that this path has taken makes me crave even more knowledge."
If you crave more knowledge about essential oils too, I invite you to check out the Aromatherapy Certification Program that Diana graduated from.
