Episode Forty-Nine: Who Is the Enemy?
If the human being was born for adversity … and if the Warrior Archetype was implanted within our psyche (or evolved on its own) to assist us in fighting wars … what war should we fight?
Who is the enemy?
Today's episode makes the case that there's only one real war — and that's the war inside ourselves.
Do you want to call yourself a man (or a woman)?
Fight THAT war.
Stand up to THAT enemy.

Oh, man. The talk in this space just keeps getting wider and deeper. So much that gets discussed here is about how our understanding of life influences what we put on the page. This week turns it around… what we've learned from our writing and what's been written, and how that can help us understand our lives.
Good insights into our internal fears and conflicts being projected out on others.
Agreed 100%. This was the pivot I think we all were expecting somewhere in our minds/souls, and it is empowering to see it explicitly.
So much good stuff here today, will likely cue up 'War of Art & Turning Pro' in my Audible app today.
Something that I have never thought about, or understood until I both read the blog and listened to the video. Arjuna doesn't say that he's afraid to fight those across the field. He said he loves them. They are his friends, family, he loves them.
How dysfunctional is that? And yet, how insightful? Does an alcoholic want to give up drinking? Do we hate our righteous indignation? Do we hate Doom-Scrolling the news? Heck no, we LOVE them. If they weren't so seductively attractive, cable news, social media, click-bait journalism, and overly-processed food would be blips in our days instead of the most profitable companies in this economy.
Do I blame Twitter, FaceBook, MSNBC and FOXNEWS, American Tobacco, Coors, or Kraft for my problems? I do, especially when I'm in my victimhood foxhole, cloaked in victimhood thinking and feeling. It is so easy, familiar, comfortable & comforting.
Jordan Peterson does a fascinating lecture about sacrifice in his series about the psychological significance of the Biblical Stories. His take on Abraham sacrificing Isaac is, IMHO, the best secular description of this savage passage I have ever heard.
I think Jordan and Steve are saying the same things, yet using different language. Steve, the artist, made the enemy clearer with the imagery of Resistance. Peterson, the academic, names it pedantically as sacrifice.
My meditation for the day will be to examine all of the things I 'think' I love. Something I have never done is to make Resistance absolutely personal for me. How, exactly, do I give in? What, specifically, do I say to myself when trying to avoid my work/purpose?
I've been here for years, nodding my head as I read. Naming the beast(s) is the first part of targeting. I worked Intelligence in the Army. I'd tell my Soldiers that we have the most powerful, bad-ass, hunter-killers ever assembled in our combat arms. The problem is they are afraid of the dark. Our job, as intelligence professionals, is to illuminate the battlefield. Each of them was a flashlight.
Specifically identify when, how, where, and what language do I use when giving in to Resistance. Thanks Steve for bringing this around to where we can use the attributes of the Warrior Archetype for the light. A buddy of mine, USMA grad, former Ranger, said, "Brian, I want to create an Army of White Warriors". I like that metaphor as well.
So if the enemy is us, then we as a species haven't gone far in 6,000 years; that's not good. Putting children in cages; driving while black, the Jan 6 coup attempt, the Myanmar coup last night, Krystellnacht, are examples of aberrant behavior or the norm?
This isn't resistance; this is a lack of humanity. Overcoming resistance to write a book is a laudable achievement; participating in Krystellnacht, the Jan 6 coup attempt, or Myanmar was an assault on a properly elected government.
No wonder Telamon decided to follow the Sages; it seems the civilization for which he fought wasn't so civilized after all. And are we much better 2,500 years later?
Joe-Brian-others: your thoughts? Or have I read too much into the post?
I don't think you're overthinking it, but I do think you might be focusing too much on the negative. We, as a species, have also ended so much suffering with modern medicine, modern agriculture, modern economics, modern warfare.
I think it was in ILE (intermediate level education)–formerly known as Command and General Staff College–we studied Von Clausewitz, Napoleonic Wars, as well as other historic warfare means/battles.
I had no idea how devastatingly BRUTAL war was in the 19th century. It is estimated that 25,000 men were killed at Waterloo. 3,100 dead, 23,000 union casualties & 28,000 Confederate casualties at Gettysburg.
We are aiming at a very narrow target. Humanity is slowly, fitfully fighting its way towards a more enlightened perspective.
I think violence towards another is the outward expression of inner hatred. Remember when a parent/coach/teacher/adult told us that when we point a finger, three fingers were pointing back at ourselves?
This, I believe, is what Steve meant a couple of weeks back about the 6 Jan riots & Resistance.
One other example. About 8 years ago, Kelly and I decided to lose weight. Neither of us could have been categorized as obese at the time–but we were carrying an extra 10-20lbs.
It was the first time I actually tried to control, sit with, and not give into hunger. HOLY SHIT IT WAS HARD!!!! I swear to God that fast food signs grew to about 500 ft, then bent over and dangled right in front of my face when driving by. If I didn't have some boiled eggs in the car, I would have caved.
Anyway, one day–probably about 4 weeks into this restricted caloric experience, I walk by this REALLY big guy at the YMCA. I'd seen him there, nearly every day, for the past 8-10 years. In my head, I'm ashamed to admit, I'd judge him as a total fat-body.
This day was different. As I walked up the stairs and saw him–I finally got it. This shit is HARD. He was/is so much more courageous than I am. He continued to show up to a place in which fitness is the primary marker and tried every single damn day. As I passed him, my eyes filled with tears. Tears for the hatred and intolerance I had been quietly wishing upon him for years. Tears for the callousness of my own heart. It was like I FINALLY understood the battle her was fighting, and my heart opened to him.
Maybe this isn't the best example, but I think it is close. It was using the Warrior Archetypal strengths to battle my own demons–and ironically, it made me more open, compassionate, considerate, forgiving to others.
Brian; you're correct; it's easy to get caught up in the negatives. Your positives made society better; and in very meaningful ways.
Your example of the overweight guy was awesome; thank you for sharing! It's easy to get wrapped up in our own stereotypes and perceptions while he deserves huge credit for his dedication for sticking to a goal of his own.
Brian – Your comment above really hit home, about how Resistance comes to us as something we love, something that is eminently appealing. I went back over last week's Resistance temptations, and they all fit that bill. How diabolically clever of Resistance!
Thanks Scott. I appreciate it. It is so damn deceptive! If you haven't ever listened to JBP's "Psychological Significance of the Biblical Stories", I highly encourage it. It is totally secular, but deeply profound & brilliant. They gave me so much more respect for our ancient myths, and how ancient man was desperately trying to figure out how to optimally live.
He doesn't dismiss the mystical, simply stays in his lane as a social scientist.
It is rewarding to read that someone gets something from my musings! Have a great week.
I'm going to jump in, stomp and splash happily in the puddle for a bit, and then go meet my wife to do yoga. (And a PSA: Don't buy Adriene's sweet little "girl-next-door-yoga-instructor" schtick. She's a pony-tailed drill instructor!)
I like what Charles Eisenstein has to say about "The Story of Separation." How many of our insults to other people; to land, air and water; insults to ourselves — is that we're misguided by this illusion of separation, that he talks about like this:
"The Story of Separation essentially says that you are is a separate individual among other separate individuals in this objective reality that has fundamentally nothing to do with you.
So psychology might say, "Well, yeah, essentially what you are is a mind enclosed in a body."
Religion would say that you are a soul encased in flesh.
Biology would say that you are basically a meat machine programmed by your genes to maximize reproductive self-interest.
Economics says something quite similar, that we are all driven to maximize rational self-interest.
So here we are, these kinds of bubbles of psychology bouncing around the world, in competition, fundamentally, with other individuals.
So an underlying tendency in the story of separation is the will to control, the will to dominate. It's kind of baked into the cake. It's not because, like, we are bad and we're dominators. It's because of the story that we live in. If you see the world as composed of separate competing others and if you see nature as this random melee of force and mass, then of course you're going to want to dominate, of course you're going to want to control.
"I use the word 'Interbeing,' which I am told was coined by Thicht Nhat Han. It means more than Interconnection or Interdependency, which kind of suggests separate selves 'having' relationships. Interbeing is more of an understanding that we ARE relationships, that my very existence depends or draws from or includes your existence. So my well-being is intimately connected to your well-being or to the well-being of the river, the ocean, the forest, people across the world, and so forth, because I am not really separate from you. And that means that, in the story of Interbeing, I know that whatever I do to the world will come back to me, somehow."
Sorry if I was lazy today and not making more of my own words.
Joe bringing the heavy brain in today! My first thought was a Pulp Fiction quote, "Look at the big brain on Joe!"
Nicely put. I like interbeing. Had to re-type is because the WordPress AI didn't like the spelling.
Reminds me of what I got from Arbinger's 'Outward Mindset" stuff. It is based on the work of Martin Buber, early 20th Century philosopher. His work is called I/Thou relationship vs the I/It relationship. I haven't read his stuff, only what was mentioned in Arbinger's stuff–but it aligns with the Interbeing.
Rene Descartes said, "I think, therefore I am." Buber believed that Rene missed the point by focusing on the 'I' as the most important point of reference. What he might have responded to Mr Descartes would be something like, "Rene, good thinking. However, who taught you the French so that you could have such a pristine thought?"
Buber points out that the relationship is truly the point of reference. It is the relationship between selves that we need to focus. We either see people as people (I/Thou), or as things (I/It). From this misaligned focus, most of our problems arise.
At the time, I was trying to put this into my Soldier thinking. If I had the thought, "I need a couple of NCOs and a few Soldiers to complete this task."–I'm in I/It mode.
If I think, "Maybe I should talk with Joe and Andrew, see what their thoughts are about this project/errand/task, and ask them for their help." In that case I'm in I/Thou.
When we move even further out like you mentioned, to recognize our relationship with the trees, the air, the oceans–that is, IMHO, Nirvana or Heaven on Earth. It is difficult to dismiss the material world when it is so freaking REAL, and stubbing your toe HURTS. And, when I hurt, I lash out…even at a coffee table!
"That IS a tasty burger. Allow me to retort."
Absolutely brilliant series. A real journey of self discovery and the internal battles we all face. Our physical self is often at odds with our higher self, but to paraphrase something I was once told, 'when you (physical self) and you (higher self) come together as one, there is nothing you cannot accomplish.
Thanks, Steven! "The essence" of the whole series was expressed in this episode. Thank you for your take on political polemics, too; I think you have a really important perspective.

From the outside, it may seem that Latin women are too gorgeous, even a little arrogant, and boldly look at the world around them with emphasized superiority. It may seem so primarily free latin singles dating sites because every second Latin lady looks like a fashion model from the catwalk, and local women are also devoid of complexes at a practically genetic level. Nevertheless, those Americans who have already managed to get to know Latin brides better know that kinder, sincere, and open women cannot be found all over the world.

First, shadows are the reflection of our existence in the space. Then, our shadows overlap, intertwine, communicate. In this project, shadows are turned into subjective via representations of our mind states. Instead of being distorted by the source of light, the audience will be able to control their own shadows by wearing the headsets that collect EEG data from them and accordingly form fake shadows projected onto the ground beside them.

I have been reading Ayn Rand Nation by Gary Weiss, not exactly a supporter of Objectivism or libertarianism - but, besides the obligatory liberal-left distortions and put-downs, his experience in meeting with Objectivists in the course of writing his book - resulted in some admiration for Rand, the Objectivist movement, which he cannot resist reporting on. For example in the Introduction and first chapter, he attempts to document some of the evidence of Rand's cultural influence, such as the sales of her books. Much to his surprise, Rand's non-fiction books have also shown a resurgence in sales. Here's what he has to say about The Virtue of Selfishness: "Among the hottest sellers was her tribute to self-indulgence, The Virtue of Selfishness. This collection of dense essays, published in 1964, is one of the most popular books on philosophy and ethics in the English language. That's right, I don't mean one of the most popular books at the Ayn Rand Institute Bookstore in Irvine, California. I mean the English language. [ Italics are the author's] ...Virtue consistently ranks among the best-selling books on Amazon on the subjects of "ethics and morality," well ahead of conventional tomes...Virtue also usually ranks high in Amazon sales ranking of books on epistemology, the theory of knowedge." The sales and influence that he documents for Atlas Shrugged are even more impressive.

Dialogue and characters are intimately intertwined. The dialogue reveals the character, and the character determines the dialogue.
Dialogue is a wonderful way to show characterization, and also the relationships between your characters. Not only what people say, but the way they say it, gives the reader quality information about your character.
For example, consider the following ways of saying the same thing.
You might like to bear in mind that we don't have any previous information about these characters, and also I'm not giving any actions to help with characterization (which I would in a real writing situation). But even so, you'll get a sense of the character's personality from the way she speaks:
"Now Jeremy, please don't be like that. I really want to go."
"Jeremy, don't be silly. Of course we're going, and I don't want to hear any more about it.
"Jeremy, would you mind terribly - I mean, I wonder if we could go. I'd really like to, you know. But if you don't want to, that's okay."
"Oh Jeremy, that's not fair You knew how badly I wanted to go. I'll be so upset if I can't go, you know I will."
"Jeremy ... Jeremy ... nice Jeremy. You know the way you said you'd do anything for me? Well what I'd really like is to go tonight. Hmm ... what do you say? I'd really enjoy it, and I'd be very grateful."
Do you see how the same sentiment can be expressed in different ways, and so how the thing is said gives another layer of information along with what is said?
Characters' speech patterns
When dealing with dialogue and characters, remember that each character should sound differently from the others. We all speak differently. I find it fascinating to consider that experts can, in the case, say, of notes from hostages, tell if the note was the hostage's own, or was dictated to them to write - based on the patterns in it such as word usage, phraseology and so on.
So be sure to make each of your characters speak differently from each other, and even differently from you. This is difficult, and I know it's one of my own challenges as a writer. But the ideal is that the reader should know who's speaking by the 'sound' of them, even without dialogue tags.
Some ways to differentiate are:
- Speed of speaking. Okay, on paper you can't read the speed, but you can indicate it by using less punctuation such as fewer commas and full stops (periods).
- Shorter sentences versus longer ones. Some people speak in a very staccato way; others tend to speak more.
- Profession. A builder will speak very differently from a barrister, for example. Also people tend to use analogies based on their own experience. So a builder might describe a mess as being like a house with no foundations; the barrister might say it was like a case with an unreliable witness and a cranky judge.

The etiology of IOP increase in dependent body positions may be a shift in body fluid under gravity, causing increased episcleral venous pressure and choroidal vascular congestion. We hypothesized that this response is exaggerated in obesity.
This was a prospective, case control study enrolling 25 morbidly obese patients and 25 healthy, age- and gender-matched controls. Subjects had tonometry performed in 2 sets of positions, sitting and supine, with the order randomized. In the sitting position, IOP was measured with the neck in neutral position, flexion at 30°, and extension at 30°. In the supine position, IOP was measured in supine, right and left lateral decubitus, and with the head and upper body elevated at 30°. The order of measurements within each set was also randomized.
Mean IOP in the obese group was significantly higher than the control group across each position (P<0.02), with a mean difference of 2.5±0.4 mmHg (P<0.0001). There was no difference in the magnitude of postural IOP change in the obese group compared to controls. There was no difference in mean IOP between the three neck positions while sitting within each group. There was a significant increase in IOP in supine, right and left lateral decubitus compared to sitting with head straight in both groups (P<0.05). Elevating the head 30° in the supine position led to a significant decrease in IOP in the right eye only at 0 and 5 minutes in the obese group, and in both eyes at 5 minutes in the control group compared to the flat position. In the obese group, the dependent eye in right lateral decubitus had higher IOP at 0 minutes (P=0.02), but not at 5 minutes (P=0.14). This difference was not found in left lateral decubitus, or in either eye of the control group.
Postural IOP change was a significant phenomenon in both our obese and normal weight subjects. While weight does not play a significant role in the magnitude of postural IOP change, higher IOP was demonstrated across all positions in the obese group. The results support epidemiological data showing an association between obesity and ocular hypertension. Future steps include measuring postural IOP in the same group following bariatric surgery to characterize the effect of weight loss on IOP.

Floral prints are truly the hallmark of the Spring Fashion season. They bring a natural beauty and classic femininity into the city that will never go out of style.
There's nothing I love more than mixing contrasting elements in an outfit in unexpected ways. I wore my new favorite leggings under this sweet, button-up dress to brunch with Matthew this past Sunday at Jack n' Jill's. The faux leather vertical paneling brings a chic edge to any outfit.
Today, I wanted to share some of the best floral pieces I've come across lately. This Antipodium "House Rules" dress (above) and this Elizabeth and James "Marissa" dress (below) are my favorite dresses so far this season.
The trick to this first dress is all in the construction. It is a tailored shirt-dress, with a flattering peplum and sea foam green color-blocking. Modeled (below on the left) by my favorite fashion blogger, Emily Schuman, this flowy frock has almost all my favorite feminine elements: ruffles, flutter sleeves, a high-low skirt, an open scoop neckline, a well-defined waist, and a surprising detail – check out how the straps change from front to back!
From large, non-repetitive graphics to intricate tableaus, there is no end to the kinds of floral patterns you can find. This season is all about mixing prints – many I grew up thinking could never work together – so try a bold statement with pieces or outfits that combine different florals. Use color scheme and print scale to create edgy, aesthetically pleasing looks.

All, I would like to pic your brains. I acquired a stacco 5010-3Y, its labeled as a 240V 3 phase unit set at 0-280 out. 50A per core. Only 3 terminals per core. Clearly marked. I'm running it on a 30A breaker at the moment. With no load you'd think that would be fine. Sounds great, except I can't get the darn thing to operate. Pops the breaker every time. Makes a hellacious 60hz hum in the process on all the cores. This is with it connected to nothing on the output, just applying voltage. Logically I checked for anomalous resistances, everything showing proper isolation.Visual inspection doesn't show anything noticable, Brushes and contact surface looks good. One of the cleaner units i own.. Inrush current seemed to be the next logical thing to try, got a 35A CW rated varistor 2 to.02ohms (i only wanted to run these at 30A for the time being) which promptly exploded. A relay shorting a high power 6ohm resistor was the next step. Powered on at 240v with series resistor for about 5 seconds then kicked on the relay to remove the resistor, bzzzzzzz pop goes the breaker. No magic smoke or smells of burnt enamel. Unfortunatly I havnt been able to observe the actual current its drawing yet. But I will set up a scope in the near future to record it. I've brought many variacs back into service, as have many of you. But this is the only one thats been a real head scratcher. Next step is to pull the top plate and see if anything is going on in the middle with the connections, but alas Its not like I'm reading any shorts. There are 3 little inductors or something that seem to be inside each core. I assumed they were on each input/output to act as a current limiter of some sort. But ill have a better look when I pull the cover and go over a core with a fine toothed comb.Anyone have any ideas of what I could be looking for or potential causes. What ever the matter is, it seems to effect all 3 cores. Unclear if the effect is equal on each core, but the result is the same. -Jay _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list -- tcml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to tcml-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ndications for taking Ampicillin tablets
The drug Ampicillin in the form of tablets is prescribed for mild diseases caused by sensitive microflora, including mixed, namely:
- diseases of the ENT organs (angina, exacerbation of chronic tonsillitis, acute and chronic sinusitis, purulent pharyngitis, otitis, laryngitis, etc.);
- uncomplicated respiratory infections (bronchitis, tracheobronchitis); https://ukrnova.com
- urinary and biliary infections (pyelonephritis, cystitis, cholecystitis, etc.);
- intestinal infections;
- chronic arthritis;
- infections of the skin and soft tissues (furunculosis, ulcers, purulent wounds), etc.
In more serious cases (pneumonia, peritonitis, sepsis, etc.) Ampicillin may be prescribed in injectable forms. The appointment of this drug should be carried out only after sowing the biomaterial on nutrient media, identification of the pathogen and its sensitivity to antibiotics.
Pharmacological action and composition of Ampicillin tablets

Third family sues Andover Subacute over COVID deaths, citing 'false promises'
For the third time since April, a relative of a deceased resident at Andover Subacute Rehabilitation Center has filed suit, claiming the embattled nursing home failed to protect patients from the coronavirus and misled potential customers with "false promises."
The 702-bed facility, broken into two buildings, Subacute I and II, drew national attention in April when 17 bodies were found piled in a makeshift morgue. In May, a scathing federal health inspection report said the home's lack of compliance with coronavirus protocols hadcaused or was likely to cause serious injury or death to residents. The same day the report was released, 24 National Guard soldiers were deployed to supply non-medical relief to the home.
Brian Roberts' uncle, Albert Roberts, died due to complications from COVID-19 while a resident at Andover Subacute II on April 1, according to a lawsuit filed in Sussex County Superior Court on Tuesday. Albert Roberts was 76 at the time, his nephew said in the suit.
Andover Subacute I and II are named in the lawsuit along with co-owners Louis Schwartz and Chaim Scheinbaum.
The lawsuit lists what Roberts called a "litany of systematic issues" at the two units over the years, citing federal inspection reports and violations that the owners allegedly failed to address. Specifically, the suit points to inadequacies in infection prevention and control. Despite inspectors' instructions, the home's owners continued to operate and accrued violation after violation, Roberts said.
A search of inspection reports of Andover Subacute II on the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid website shows 23 complaints, ranging from quality of life care to environmental concerns, that resulted in citations over the past three years. At Andover Subacute I, there have been five complaints that resulted in citations over the past three years. All deficiencies were reportedly corrected.
Andover's owners attempted to mislead consumers that the facilities were "high-quality" and "regulatory-compliant," the suit alleges. The complaint pointed to advertising and a website that Roberts claims was operated by Andover Subacute I and II. The website, which was not functioning on Thursday, allegedly stated that the home has an "excellent reputation with regulatory agencies" and complied "with stringent local, state and federal standards."
Roberts said that had he or his uncle known about the misrepresentations, he would have never chosen Andover Subacute nor would they have paid the high premiums that they did for the uncle's stay.
Roberts is seeking to certify the complaint as a class-action suit, which would allow others to join the legal action. Court records show a motion has yet to be filed for a judge to consider the request.
In a statement emailed to the New Jersey Herald, Scheinbaum declined to comment on the litigation, but said that the home "took proactive steps to prepare for the crisis" in the early days of the pandemic.
With steps ranging from "social distancing and separating sick patients" to "addressing staff issues," Scheinbaum said the facility "monitored and complied with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines."
According to Scheinbaum, federal investigators with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said on June 2 that the facility was in "substantial compliance" with all standards of care. That claim could not immediately be verified. Further, he said that Subacute II has not had a COVID-symptomatic patient since May 12 and "the facility remains COVID-19 free."
Roberts claims in the suit that "at least 94 residents/patients of the facilities have died from COVID-19," but the latest data released by the Sussex County Department of Health shows a combined 83 deaths among residents and an additional two staff deaths. No resident cases have been reported since July 26 at either facility, but Andover Subacute II has reported an additional 12 staff cases since then, according to the data.
Requests for comment from Roberts' attorney, Alina Habba, were not immediately returned.
Two other suits have been filed against Andover Subacute I and II: In June, the family of Wanda Kaegi, who died at the facility on May 2, and relatives of Stephen Blaine, who died on April 11, filed a lawsuit, a month after the family of Joseph Maglioli filed its own complaint. Maglioli died on April 9.

Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has declared that the PA's membership of the International Criminal Court (ICC) would be fully active by April, the Ma'an news agency reports.
Abbas said the most important issues to bring to the ICC were "Israeli settlements and assaults."
The comments, which were made Friday, came during Abbas's visit to Tunisia, during which he and Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi discussed the latest Palestinian, Arab, and international political developments.
The PA applied earlier this month to become a party to the Hague-based ICC and recognized its jurisdiction to retroactively cover a period including the Gaza war. The move came after the PA failed to pass a unilateral motion at the United Nations which would have forced an Israeli withdrawal from Judea and Samaria.
The ICC recently announced it was launching a "preliminary examination" into possible war crimes committed by Israel against Palestinian Arabs.
The probe was slammed by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who said, "Israel rejects the absurd decision of the ICC prosecutor. It's absurd for the ICC to ignore international law and agreements, under which the Palestinians don't have a state and can only get one through direct negotiations with Israel."
Legal rights experts have said that having the ICC enter the fray of the Israeli-Arab conflict will ultimately harm the PA, Hamas, and the ICC itself - not Israel.
In a recent interview, the PA's envoy to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) admitted the PA has no hope of pressing charges against Israel in international courts - because Palestinian Arab terrorist groups are far worse violators of international law themselves.

TOKYO — Japanese beverage group Suntory Holdings aims to make all of its plastic bottles renewable by 2030, turning to a combination of recycled and plant-based materials, Nikkei has learned.
The move, which is expected to entail roughly 50 billion yen ($457 million) in investments — including in a new U.S. factory — comes as companies bolster efforts to reduce plastic waste. Plastic waste has become a major factor in maritime pollution.
Unlisted Suntory sells water, tea and other drinks in plastic bottles in about 50 countries, using an estimated 10 billion bottles a year.
The company's bottles currently include about 10% recycled PET, or polyethylene terephthalate. Suntory will lift that ratio to between 60% and 70% by 2030, and make up the remainder with plant-based resin that also can be recycled. The resin is made from pine trees and the sugar cane residue left over after sugar production.
Suntory expects the process will produce bottles at the same cost as those made from crude oil-derived plastic.
The Japanese company will set up the factory in the U.S. with Anellotech, a biomass chemicals startup based in New York state. Suntory intends to start production there in 2023. It is expected to begin selling some drinks in bottles made from 100% plant-derived material around 2024.
Multinational beverage companies have set goals for countering the rise of plastic waste. Coca-Cola aims to use 50% recycled materials in its bottles by 2030. PepsiCo says it will increase usage of recycled PET in its bottles to half in Europe by 2030, while Nestle aims for 50% in the U.S.
But used plastic bottles in most of the world are mainly disposed of by incineration or in landfills. Only around 40% are recycled in Europe, and just one-fifth in the U.S.

In the language of the Aymara, an indigenous South American nation, it is the future and not the past that lies behind you. The logic behind this idea is immaculate. What has been done and seen and experienced will be laid out in front of you, visible at all times. Turning the other way is futile; there is nothing to see.
It is something of a shame, then, that the tyranny of looking forward has settled on the rest of us. It has become a symbol of stoicism and progressiveness. Memory is now a dehumidified place, a container for postcard anecdotes that can be safely retrieved, shared, and put away again. Anything else – anything more – would be wallowing.
But there is something deeply atavistic about people's needto take stock, and the pressure to avoid doing so has sprung a market for spaces where quick and unceremonious attempts can be made. A lot of these offerings go for cheap sentimentality, proving that the past is only palatable when kitsch. Admit it, everyone who has ever been to a noughties club night went with the small hope of recapturing something oftheir childhood, and no one has ever emerged from one convinced that Flo Rida helped them do it.
The coming-of-age genre is no exception, and many of its products have their faults forgiven by a culminating wide-angle of the protagonist pulling out of the driveway and heading to college (hey, remember when you left for uni? Great! Now cry, you anxious, regret-fuelled adult-thing, and don't pay ten quid for a cinema ticket if you're going to track your imposter syndrome onto the carpet). There are exceptions, though, and the past twenty years have seen some of the most subtle and sublime films of this kind ever made. They are less about becoming someone else – older, better – than they are about having that often-discouraged dialogue with who we once were. As Joan Didion put it, "I think we are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not."
Freshers' week is a time when the cultural expectation to never look back is at its strongest, and when who you used to be seems most unattractive. The curtain is pulled back on your new life, you're shown around and reassured about its superiority, and without warning comes the plunge into its demands and rhythms. Besides, you can't toss in bed thinking about the past when you're at a different club everynight (which you definitely will be because no one in the history of this university has ever chosen to admit their social inferiority by skipping out on going to Fever, ever). If, however, you happen to find the time or the willingness, now or at any point in the next few years, here are a few films that demonstrate how looking back can be done with dignity and style.
1. Lady Bird (dir. Greta Gerwig, 2017)
Greta Gerwig restages her adolescence against buttery Californian sunlight. Not quite autobiographical but, if you're a daughter who has a certain kind of mother, it may at times feel autobiographical to you. The film follows Christine McPherson – or "Lady Bird", as she has styled herself (quotation marks included) – in her last months of high school. At its centre is her relationship with her mother, and equally, her mother's relationship with her. Both are stubborn and angry in their own way, loving and empathetic in quite a similar way, and Lady Bird is as much about dealing with someone growing up as it is about growing up yourself.
2. The History Boys (dir. Nicholas Hynter, 2006)
Yes, it is about a group of sixth- formers being trained for their Oxbridge exams and interviews to study History, and for that reason alone many of us are guaranteed to sense the past raise its head while watching it. But both the play and the film also encapsulate a common frustration that quietly plagues seventeen-year-olds: the suspicion that you might be a bit clever and the desperate need to be seen as such. They also nod at something many of us realise years later, that teachers are people too, and sometimes the ones who are too eager to make us feel clever aren't necessarily the best for us.
3. Eighth Grade (dir. Bo Burn- ham, 2018)
A coming-of-age film that throws out every trope John Hughes ever started. Swollen soundtracks and prom night are eschewed for the blue light of a phone screen under the covers after bedtime and the clumsy, undersubscribed YouTube channels that form one's early online footprint. Also, if you were fortunate enough to have experienced middle school as it is constructed in the American and international systems – those three self-contained years that replace childhood optimism with a generous selection of complexes and insecurities – please watch,and squirm, and redeem your thirteen-year-old selves. We may have been embarrassing, but we often still are, and bless us, we never stopped trying our best.

Is 3-Game Lead Enough for Colts to Hold onto the AFC South?
Published by Chris Trapasso on November 15, 2013
Article Source: Bleacher Report - Indianapolis Colts
It's not officially official, but the Indianapolis Colts are well on their way to the 2013 AFC South title.
To kick off Week 11, they erased a 14-point deficit to beat the Tennessee Titans 30-27 to move to 7-3 on the year, giving them a full three-game lead in the division with six games left.
Andrew Luck completed 23 of 36 passes for 232 yards and scrambled for a go-ahead touchdown with 7:36 remaining in the third quarter.
The Titans were outscored 24-10 in the second half and allowed Donald Brown to rush for 80 yards with two touchdowns on 14 carries, while Chris Johnson accumulated only 16 yards after running for 70 in the first quarter alone.

Introduction: Neonatal sepsis currently causes 1.6 million deaths annually in developing countries and it is also the main reason for hospitalization in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Early onset sepsis still remains the significant risk factor for mortality and morbidity in neonatal period. Objectives: To describe the outcome of neonates treated with empiric antibiotic for suspected early onset sepsis (EOS). Methods: Records of neonatal patients at three Malaysian general hospitals admitted within 72 hours of life and prescribed with empirical antibiotic therapy for suspected EOS were retrospectively reviewed. Results: A total of 894 cases meet the inclusion criteria and divided into premature (<36 weeks) and term (≥37 weeks) neonates group. More than 80% of neonates had respiratory symptoms during admission. However, there were significant differences in diagnosis among premature and term neonates (p=0.001). 60% of suspected EOS cases were premature neonates (n=531) and they were mainly diagnosed for respiratory distress syndrome, congenital pneumonia and presumed sepsis. Majority were born to mothers exposed to antibiotic and steroid during pregnancy. Many of these mothers also had prolong rupture of membrane > 18 h (p>0.05). Premature neonates required longer hospital stay, higher ventilator support and higher surfactant administration (p<0.05). Term neonates (n=363) were mainly diagnosed with congenital pneumonia, presumed sepsis, meconium aspirate syndrome and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. These observation were consistent with the high incidence of meconium stained amniotic fluid, perinatal asphyxia and fit symptoms (p<0.05). Penicillin plus gentamicin regimen was the standard therapy started within 24 h of life and the mean treatment duration being less than 4 days. The observed successful rates for the three hospitals were between 89 - 95%. Conclusions: Majority of the neonates presented with respiratory symptoms and standard empiric antibiotic regimen prescribed showed good coverage for prevention of EOS.

I had the pleasure to stay for a few days in London recently. While spending some time with my Londoner family, their typical sense of humour reminded of Tony Ray-Jones and Martin Parr's "Only in England" exhibition. It explores the lasting influences of the too short career of British photographer Tony Ray-Jones on the developement of British photography since the 70's and on Martin Parr's work. Driven by the moto "Don't take boring pictures", Ray-Jones was fascinated by the eccentricities of English social customs and immortalized what he thought was a disappearing way of life. Full of melancholy and humour, his work impacted Parr's rarely seen black and white photographs from 'The Non-Conformists' series. Known for his sociological and satirical point of view, Parr provided his own analysis of the modern life, documenting the social classeds of England.

Imagine yourself an explorer. You've sailed a long and arduous journey fighting off starvation, scurvy, and death. You're exhausted, and you're ready to set foot on dry land. The salt air fills your nostrils as waves break beneath the bow of your ship in warm coastal waters. You put your looking glass up to your eye and scan the horizon in a slow, sweeping motion, right to left. Ah-ha! You spot an emerald green coast lined with palm trees and lush tropical forest. You grin ear to ear then cry out excitedly from the crow's nest atop the mast, "Land' ho!"
The Rich Coast
Wow, what a journey that would have been. Can you imagine? It must have been incredible to discover such a beautiful place like Costa Rica, "Rich Coast" in Spanish. If you've ever seen the beautiful and majestic coastline here, you'll understand its name. Do you know who "discovered" and named Costa Rica? Take a guess.
Voyage in the Late 1400s
So, did you guess? You might be surprised to learn that Christopher Columbus named Costa Rica the "Rich Coast." He sure was right. The coasts here are incredibly rich with beauty. Columbus may have been right on the name, but I'll tell you something Columbus got wrong. Columbus thought he was the first person to discover Costa Rica. When Columbus and his crew landed on the picturesque tropical shores, they were surprised to find Indigenous tribes had been living here for almost 10,000 years before their arrival.
Spanish Conquest
In 1524 Costa Rica became a colony of Spain. During this time, Costa Rica was part of a vast country called Captaincy General of Guatemala. This country was basically all the countries in Central America lumped into one, which the Spanish ruled for 300 years. Spain set out to enslave the natives, plunder their riches, steal their gold, and make them pay tribute (taxes) to Spain. As you can imagine, the indigenous tribes tried to band together to ward off the Spanish invaders and expel them from their sacred lands. They fought off the Spanish conquistadors bravely. Despite their valiant efforts, the well-armed and well-equipped conquistadors were no match against their primitive bows and arrows. The tribes fell one by one, except for one.
Evil Mountain Spirits
Imagine you're wielding a machete trekking through the mountains in a dense tropical rain forest. Your hands are sweaty from the intense heat and humidity, your body is weak from lack of nutrition. With each slash of the blade, you grow weaker. The Capitan orders you "adelante" (forward). You swing your machete again and break through the dense undergrowth of the humid jungle into an open field. Your heart stops, your eyes widen as you gaze upon the most terrifying thing you've ever seen. It's standing right in front of you in the clearing. Like they've been waiting for you.
Large, brightly colored feathers shoot out from the tops of their masks like a crown. They have large distorted scowling faces, long noses, dark empty eyes, jaguar like fangs protruding from their mouths. Their bodies are painted in bright colors. Some of them are covered in spotted fur like the ocelots you've seen and hunted for food in the jungle here. Others look like the jungle brought to life covered in leaves and glowing eyes. Their mangled hands clap together, and they let out an otherworldly bellowing sound as they charge towards you. Panic sets in, it's fight or flight. What do you do? You run, that's what you do. You run the fastest you've ever run in your life.
They Ran!
During the Spanish conquest, they encountered one indigenous tribe that made them quiver in their armor. Believe it or not, this tribe caused the conquistadors to flee back to their ships in terror. I know it's hard to imagine this happening to the brave conquistadors, but it did and to this day the tribe lives peacefully in the mountains of Costa Rica. They still celebrate warding off the conquistadors with a big festival. The tribe is called Boruca. Stay tuned for the next chapter featuring the Boruca tribe.
See You Soon

Nah, Almodóvar continues making great films. His style has matured but he has not gotten worse in any way.
I think the right answers to this questions are Lars Von Trier and (as mentioned in some other thread) Neil Marshall, who was never a genius but started his career as strong as it gets.

Over recent weeks and months, there have been two main battles waged in the solar system, with balance being the common theme. One battle has been to find a balance between your personal and relationship needs and the other to know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off. It is the latter that is being put to the test for the last time and because this is an opposition between Venus and Jupiter, the most opportune planets in the solar system, there is a chance to finally crack the code. It helps that today's intuitive and intellectually lunar vibes come with 20/20 hindsight.
Ask most people how they define success, and you receive a range of answers, most of them involving money in bank accounts. However, it can be argued that the true definition of success involves waking up each day and loving whatever it is you do. If you could experience that while enhancing your income from a particular talent or skill you possess, then, to you, life would be wonderful, indeed. You could receive interesting insights now or shortly into how such a life could be possible.

Capricorn free horoscope prediction June 23rd 2019
Your passion for an important project may drive you to do more than is expected. Venus in jack-of-all-trades Gemini opposing optimistic Jupiter in Sagittarius suggests that your faith in yourself might exceed the necessary time, resources, or talents required to deliver on what you've committed to do. Your enthusiasm is admirable but be careful not to go overboard. It will be enough to do the best you can with what you have. Otherwise, you risk turning a pleasurable task into a total nightmare. A reading with a Life Path Psychic can help you plan ahead.

Astrology of Capricorn for today June 23rd 2019
The Moon in Aquarius will cloud your mind with negativity today as you will not be sure whether you should be going ahead with a project or not. There are too many people who are dissuading you from going ahead with it while you think there is a lot you can achieve when you do succeed. Maybe you are not able to explain the big picture to them and they are seeing only the limited version. Follow what your mind tells you, Capricorn because if you believe in yourself, nothing can stop you from making your dream come true. All important tasks must be undertaken between 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm to achieve the desirable result. Wearing a dark shade of Red will prove lucky for you today.
There have likely been some messy spats in your relationship recently but today you should see those issues and tensions subside. Your apology will be accepted so go ahead and say sorry. Continue to use open communication with your partner and you will notice that the stress level decreases and the warmth return in your relationship. Remain on this track for harmonious relations between you.
Today you will likely feel frustrated in your job. You may feel that there are too many factors outside of your control that make it hard for you to get any work done. You are judged on your performance, but feel you`re not given your due. Don`t be afraid to talk to your boss about it today. They will likely be receptive to your ideas.
Today will find you wanting to try a new method of investing, maybe even doing some day trading of stocks online. This new method might actually work very well for you in terms of profits. Today is a good day for experimenting, but do make sure that you know what you are doing. Take calculated risks today and you will find that some of your choices are sure to bring you a financial reward!
Beware of cough and cold today, as today you are susceptible to falling ill with a minor ailment. Keep yourself bundled up in the cold and avoid excessively chilled beverages. Problems plaguing you today will be minor, but need to be paid attention to.

June 23rd 2019 Capricorn zodiac sign online forecast
You will win enemies if you do not correct your behavior. The work you are doing will not be very successful The astral alignment encourages you to slow down and appreciate what you have. The astral alignment puts you in a very optimistic and slightly surreal mood. Those of you who intend to travel for a meeting need to prepared to be late. Be careful, you may need to rearrange your agenda unexpectedly because of unpleasant news. Do not rush and think about your intentions and plans once again. You will face serious financial problems if you are not careful during this period. Problems with people in your environment are a real possibility and you will resolve them if you act only after detailed analysis. Protect your interests.
Positive events are just about to happen, those who are alone will find good opportunities for a fateful encounter to set off a love novel, but it's not necessarily with a new person in your life. Stabilize your relationships with the people around you. This is a time when feelings are running very high and you may be surprised at how deep your emotions go. Now is a time for you to slow down and be more patient. If you had any grand plans for a social outing or traveling, then you may have to scale them down substantially. You need to appraise the situation in your own way and your own time, do not intend to be hurried by anyone into making a move before you are ready. Do not be irritable if you see that what is planned is happening slower than expected. You may be unpleasantly surprised by news that an enemy is trying to remove you from your office, especially if you are dealing with politics. Do not allow harmful people in your life.
Do not start a new activity in your job if you haven't considered everything in detail. The pledge of prosperity lies in your openness in front of the people around you. What you need now more than ever is calmness and patience. The celestial energy may leave you feeling not quite so forthcoming concerning a certain issue. By working on your issues, most likely by talking them through, some amazing changes will take place. Don't be tempted to sign financial and bank documents. Set up a clear and specific goal and take up its realization. Call your neighbors to look after your home if you plan a trip for a longer time. There will be difficulties requiring mandatory investigation of your behavior so far. Be responsible for your actions.

Warped Wing's Flyin' Rye India Pale Ale was moderately spicy with notes of rye and cereal. I also noted some bubblegum esters in the nose that didn't quite seem to fit. The aroma included some medium-low floral hops and a light cracker malt character. The beer was orange-gold and fairly clear. The headstand was moderate, ivory-colored and long-lasting.
The flavor was of medium maltiness with breadiness, spicy rye, cereal notes and a grainy finish. Bitterness came in a bit higher than medium, but hop flavor was low and floral. Here again, the Belgian-like esters were noted and I perceived a very light level of bubblegum and citrus. The finish was dry and had a lingering, light husky flavor. With the bitterness and the flavor, the balance leans slightly towards the hop side.
Medium body and carbonation and a lingering huskiness left a lightly astringent character in the finish. This was a pleasant, easy-drinking beer. Hop aroma and flavor were less pronounced than expected and came across more like a pale ale in intensity (but the bitterness was classic IPA all the way). The rye character was very good and was an excellent showcase for the grain. An interesting beer, but the fermentation character was not as clean as expected, and the hops just weren't as prevalent in the aroma and flavor as they should have been.

Congressman Randy Forbes sent out an email which contained this blatant lie:
The Administration's action violates a long-held principle that our government will not enter into negotiations with a terrorist organization.
I was a little disappointed. Forbes's dishonesty is usually a bit more nuanced. He'll often hide misleading innuendo in half-truths or push polls. He could have just said, "We don't negotiate with terrorists" and let it be understood that he's accusing Obama of doing so.
But perhaps after reading the comments on his blog post about the swap, he realized that most of his supporters are so ill informed, so hateful, and so ready to soak up any nonsense that justifies their world view and their hatred of Obama, that Mr. Forbes felt it would be a waste of time to craft a technically true statement or to disguise his innuendo in the form of a question. He can just lie.
It's a lie because the Taliban, despite being a hateful enemy, is not a terrorist organization. Not everyone we hate is a terrorist, although the right wing has been confused about that for over a decade. The difference is significant. The Taliban did not storm a non-combat zone and carry people away at gunpoint. They caught an American soldier, and instead of shooting him they held him as a prisoner. If we're going to encourage that kind of behavior, then good, because the alternative is murder.
I am not discounting the heinous crimes against humanity committed by the Taliban, and I'm not discounting the Taliban's treatment of Bergdahl while he was in captivity. The Taliban are disgusting, murderous bigots. I am only stating that Bergdahl's capture was an act of war, not an act of terror. And that fact makes a lie out of all the talk about how this prisoner exchange will set any kind of dangerous precedent.
It's a dangerous lie that Republicans are telling now. And Randy Forbes, as usual but without his usual craftiness, is helping to perpetuate it. It's way past time for a change in Virginia's 4th District.

A black and beautiful heroine, Dr. Hadiyah- Nicole Green has made history as the first in the world to successfully produce a cure for cancer in mice. According to Black Culture News, she successfully achieved this feat by using laser-activated nanoparticles.
Her unique and revolutionary nanoparticle technology was simply amazing. It was able to cure cancer in mice after testing it within 15 days. The cure is achievable and it does not require surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Dr. Green received a $1.1 million grant to elevate her nanoparticle cancer treatment research.
Dr. Green became keenly interested in producing cancer cure after losing her lovely aunt, Ora Lee to cancer and her uncle General Lee Smith who was diagnosed with cancer and experienced negative effects of chemotherapy treatment.
Dr. Green is highly educated. She has dedicated a great part of her life to medical research, and scientific investigations. She holds a Bachelors's degree in Physics and Optics from Alabama A & M University. Afterward, she earned a Masters's degree in Physics from the prestigious University of Alabama at Birmingham, UK. Amazingly, she received both degrees on full scholarships.
After earning these degrees, she was engaged at the Comprehensive Cancer Center for an unprecedented five years and specifically worked in the department of pathology for one year.
She founded a nonprofit, Ora Lee Smith Cancer Research Foundation in memory of her aunt. Through this foundation, she has continued to fight cancer with the help of laser-activated nanoparticles. Her mission is to continue to make cancer treatment affordable, accessible and effective. She is happily inspiring, connecting and empowering young black students also.
Dr. Green is making a huge transformational impact on cancer treatments/cure. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 606,520 people will die from cancer in 2020 in the U.S alone. This is equal to 1,660 people that will die daily from cancer in 2020.
About 69% of people that were diagnosed with cancer between 2009 and 2015 are still alive five years after their supposed expected date of demise. This number is higher than the people that were diagnosed between 1975 and 1977.
Congratulations to Dr. Green for pioneering this effort!
What do you think about her innovative excellence?

A detached from reality George Mitchell:
Oh yes, it's all happening as I say, in my mind that is
Mitchell: Netanyahu, Abbas tackling toughest issues first
US envoy says progress being made on moratorium issue; two sides have moved further in negotiations than in the Northern Ireland conflict.
Israel and the Palestinian Authority have moved further in a few days of intensive negotiations than the two sides in the Northern Ireland conflict did in "many, many months," US special envoy George Mitchell said on Wednesday night, following the second consecutive day of the talks.
Mitchell, who brokered the Good Friday Agreement signed in 1998, was unusually upbeat in his characterizations of the meetings, saying "serious and substantive discussions" were well under way, and that the talks started at a "very rapid pace."
