American Minute with Bill Federer
"Our threat is from the insidious forces working from within which have already so drastically altered the character of our free institutions," stated General Douglas MacArthur in Lansing, Michigan, May 15, 1952.
General Douglas MacArthur addressed Massachusetts State Legislature in Boston, July 25, 1951:
"I have seen since my return to my native land after an absence of many years … our material progress has been little short of phenomenal.
It has established an eminence in material strength so far in advance of any other nation … that talk of an imminent threat to our national security through … external force is pure nonsense.
It is not of any external threat that I concern myself but rather of insidious forces working from within which have already so drastically altered the character of our free institutions — these institutions which formerly we hailed as something beyond question of challenge — those institutions we proudly called the American way of life.
… Foremost of these forces is that directly, or even more frequently indirectly, allied with the scourge of imperialistic Communism.
It has infiltrated into positions of public trust and responsibility — into journalism, the press, the radio and the school.
It seeks through covert manipulation of the civil power and the media of public information and education to pervert the truth, impair respect for moral values, suppress human freedom and representative government, and in the end destroy our faith in our religious teachings.
… This evil force, with neither spiritual base nor moral standard, rallies the abnormal and subnormal elements among our citizenry and applies internal pressure against all things we hold descent and all things that we hold right — the type of pressure which has caused many Christian nations abroad to fall and their own cherished freedoms to languish in the shackles of complete suppression.
As it has happened there it can happen here. Our need for patriotic fervor and religious devotion was never more impelling.
There can be no compromise with atheistic Communism, no half way in the preservation of freedom and religion. It must be all or nothing."
MacArthur warned in his Farewell Address to Congress, April 19. 1951:
"The Communist threat is a global one … Under no circumstances must Formosa (Taiwan) fall under Communist control …
… One must understand the changes in Chinese character and culture … China, up to 50 years ago … followed the tenets of the Confucian ideal of pacifist culture.
At the turn of the century, under the regime of Chang Tso Lin, efforts … produced the start of a nationalist urge.
… This was further … developed under the leadership of Chiang Kai-Shek, but has been brought to its greatest fruition under the present regime to the point that it has now taken on the character of a united nationalism of increasingly dominant, aggressive tendencies.
… Through these past 50 years the Chinese people have thus become militarized … They now constitute excellent soldiers, with competent staffs and commanders.
… This has produced a new and dominant power in Asia, which, for its own purposes, is allied with Soviet Russia but which in its own concepts and methods has become aggressively imperialistic, with a lust for expansion and increased power …
Chinese Communists' support of the North Koreans was the dominant one. Their interests are … parallel with those of the Soviet.
… But I believe that the aggressiveness recently displayed not only in Korea but also in Indo-China and Tibet and pointing potentially toward the South reflects predominantly the same lust for the expansion of power which has animated every would-be conqueror since the beginning of time."
MacArthur concluded:
"There are some who, for varying reasons, would appease Red China.
They are blind to history's clear lesson … that appeasement but begets new and bloodier war …
… Like blackmail, it lays the basis for new and successively greater demands until, as in blackmail, violence becomes the only other alternative …
China is already engaging with the maximum power it can commit … Like a cobra … more likely strike whenever it feels … (it) is in its favor on a world-wide basis."
Douglas MacArthur was born January 26, 1880.
The lineage of both parents were military and Episcopalian Christian.
Home-schooled as child, he attended high school at the Episcopal West Texas Military Academy, founded in 1893, whose mission statement, "to provide an excellent educational community, with values based on the teachings of Jesus Christ."
The school was similar to D.L. Moody's "Moody Bible Institute" founded seven years earlier.
Every day, MacArthur and his 48 classmates walked several blocks, no matter the weather, to attend morning chapel at St. Paul's Memorial Church.
He explained:
"Biblical lessons began to open the spiritual portals of a growing faith."
He graduated valedictorian of West Texas Military Academy, and in 1898, became a cadet at West Point Military Academy, where he graduated top of his class in 1903.
MacArthur conducted a reconnaissance mission during the 1914 U.S. occupation of Veracruz, for which he was nominated for the Medal of Honor.
He served as an officer in France during World War I.
He was superintendent of West Point, 1919-1922.
In 1930, at age 50, MacArthur became the youngest Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army.
On July 14, 1935, he addressed the 42nd Infantry (Rainbow) Division:
"The springs of human conflict cannot be eradicated through institutions, but only through the reform of the individual human being …
We all dream of the day when human conduct will be governed by the Decalogue (Ten Commandments) and the Sermon on the Mount."
A four-star general, he retired in 1939, but returned in 1941 to defend the Philippines.
When Japan invaded the Philippines, President Roosevelt ordered MacArthur to withdraw to Australia.
MacArthur left the Philippines, but not before he promising "I shall return."
When General MacArthur heard that 10,000 Filipino and American prisoners died on the Bataan Death March, he stated, April 9, 1942:
"To the weeping mothers of its dead, I can only say that the sacrifice and halo of Jesus of Nazareth has descended upon their sons, and that God will take them unto Himself."
On October 20, 1944, General MacArthur returned with an American army to free the Philippines, stating:
"People of the Philippines: I have returned. By the grace of Almighty God our forces stand again on Philippine soil — soil consecrated in the blood of our two peoples.
We have come, dedicated and committed to the task of destroying every vestige of enemy control … The hour of your redemption is here … Let the indomitable spirit of Bataan and Corregidor lead on."
In a radio speech broadcast from the invasion beach on returning to the Philippines, General Douglas MacArthur stated, October 20, 1944:
"Strike at every favorable opportunity. For your homes and hearths, strike! For future generations of your sons and daughters, strike! In the name of your sacred dead, strike!
Let no heart be faint. Let every arm be steeled. The guidance of Divine God points the way. Follow in His name to the Holy Grail of righteous victory!"
General Douglas MacArthur stated:
"In war, when a commander becomes so bereft of reason and perspective that he fails to understand the dependence of arms on Divine guidance, he no longer deserves victory."
Promoted to Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in the Southwest Pacific, he received Japan's surrender on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Harbor.
He stated:
"Men since the beginning of time have sought peace … military alliances, balances of powers, leagues of nations, all in turn failed, leaving the only path to be by way of the crucible of war.
The utter destructiveness of war now blots out this alternative. We have had our last chance.
If we will not devise some greater and equitable system, our Armageddon will be at our door.
The problem basically is theological and involves a spiritual recrudescence (renewal), an improvement of human character that will synchronize with our almost matchless advances in
science, art, literature and all material and cultural developments of the past two thousand years.
It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh."
After the surrender, Japan was under direct control of the U.S. Occupation Army led by Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Commander of Allied Forces Pacific (SCAP).
This was different than post-war Europe, in which Germany was divided into four zones controlled the allied powers.
President Truman sent a message to MacArthur, September 6, 1945:
"The authority of the Emperor and the Japanese Government to rule the State is subordinate to you as Supreme Commander for the Allied powers. You will exercise your authority as you deem proper to carry out your mission."
Japanese investigative journalist Eiichiro Tokumoto wrote in Under the Shadow of the Occupation: The Ashlar and The Cross (1945):
"There was a complete collapse of faith in Japan in 1945 — in our invincible military, in the emperor, in the religion that had become known as 'state Shinto.'"
Shinto beliefs were taught in the public schools and permeated Japanese society, exciting the militaristic fervor of an ancient samurai warrior code known as Bushido, fighting to the death, similar to Islamic jihad martyrs.
MacArthur warned:
"Japan is a spiritual vacuum … If you do not fill it with Christianity, it will be filled with communism."
He pleaded that Youth for Christ and other ministries send 10,000 missionaries to Japan:
"Send missionaries and Bibles."
While in Tokyo, MacArthur daily read the American Standard Version of the Bible and helped distribute 43 million Bibles, resulting in it becoming a best-seller in Japan.
He served as Honorary Chairman of Japan's first post-war Christian University, and advocated for the spread of Christianity:
"(In order to) provide the surest foundation for the firm establishment of democracy";
"Democracy and Christianity have much in common, as practice of the former is impossible without giving faithful (service) to the fundamental concepts underlying the latter."
MacArthur wrote in 1948:
"I am absolutely convinced that true democracy can exist only on a spiritual foundation. It will endure when it rests firmly on the Christian conception of the individual and society."
These views were held by Franklin D. Roosevelt, who stated November 1, 1940:
"Those forces hate democracy and Christianity … They oppose democracy because it is Christian. They oppose Christianity because it preaches democracy."
MacArthur's call for missionaries and Bibles was documented in:
- The Riddle of MacArthur, by John Gunther, (1951);
- Japan's American Interlude, by Kazuo Kawai (1960);
- The MacArthur Controversy and American Foreign Policy, by Arthur Schlesinger (1965).
Journalist Eiichiro Tokumoto gave the account of a 1946 conversation between MacArthur and two U.S. Catholic Bishops John F. O'Hara and Michael J. Ready:
"General MacArthur asked us to urge the sending of thousands of Catholic missionaries — at once … that they had a year to help fill the 'spiritual vacuum' created by the defeat."
Emperor Hirohito offered to have the government convert all of Japan to Christianity.
Amherst College professor of Japanese history, Ray Moore, recorded the General told evangelist Billy Graham: "the Emperor had offered to make Christianity the official religion of Japan."
MacArthur made the fateful decision to decline the offer, believing that it could potentially create conflict between Protestants and Catholics, and that conversion should be only by a free choice:
"This most sacred of human rights – to worship freely in accordance with individual conscience – is fundamental to all reforms."
In the article "Bringing the Bible to Japan," MacArthur told U.S. News and World Report, February 4, 1955:
"No phase of the occupation has left me with a greater sense of personal satisfaction than my spiritual stewardship."
As recorded in Revitalizing a Nation: A Statement of Beliefs, Opinions, and Policies Embodied in the Public Pronouncements of General of the Army, Douglas MacArthur (Chicago: Heritage Foundation, 1952), he explained how his policies in Japan:
"Discarded is the traditional intolerance of human rights, the restrictions upon human liberties, the callousness to human life, and in their place have been accepted and fused into the Japanese heart many of the Christian virtues."
Among the first Church of Christ missionaries returning to Japan were Emily Cunningham, and Owen and Shirley Still. Beliefnet.com published:
"Owen Still had been a missionary in pre-war Japan.
He got his family out of Tokyo on one of the last ships before Pearl Harbor, then spent much of World War II in Japanese internment camps in California and Arizona, serving as a volunteer chaplain to Japanese-Americans forced to spend the war behind barbed wire.
After the Japanese surrender, he was one of the first civilians allowed back into Tokyo since he spoke fluent Japanese.
The firebombing of the city had been so devastating that it was difficult to identify neighborhoods much less streets or buildings — which had been constructed mostly of wood with interior walls made of paper.
He had trouble even finding the Yotsuya Mission where he had preached for a decade — so complete was the destruction.
In the city of Osaka, Hiromu Sugano, a devout Christian and retired Army captain, had built a shack on the church property there so that the land was occupied until the missionaries returned.
If he had not done so, the property could have been lost.
In Tokyo, Owen Still was gratified to find that many of the native pastors, including Stephen Ijima, had survived the war — and their congregations were going strong …"
Beliefnet.com continued:
"MacArthur saw that Rev. Still received a temporary military commission, allowing him to move freely … He got the mission's churches and Bible college back up and running — knowing that the permanence of the Gospel in Japan depended on native-born pastors."
Another person who decided to return to Japan as a missionary was Jake DeShazer, which changed the life of a Japanese pilot, Mitsuo Fuchida.
Fuchida wrote in his biography From Pearl Harbor to Calvary (1953):
"With the end of the war, my military career was over, since all Japanese forces were disbanded … Though I was never accused, Gen. Douglas MacArthur summoned me to testify …
As I got off the train one day in Tokyo's Shibuya Station, I saw an American distributing literature … He handed me a pamphlet entitled "I Was a Prisoner of Japan" (published by Bible Literature International) …
What I read was the fascinating episode which eventually changed my life …
Jake DeShazer … volunteered for a secret mission with the Jimmy Doolittle Squadron – a surprise raid on Tokyo from the carrier Hornet … After the bombing raid … DeShazer found himself a prisoner of Japan …"
Mitsuo Fuchida explained that after the war:
"DeShazer … returned to Japan as a missionary. And his story, printed in pamphlet form, was something I could not explain …
I decided to purchase (a Bible) myself, despite my traditionally Buddhist heritage … In the ensuing weeks, I read this book eagerly.
I came to the climactic drama – the Crucifixion. I read in Luke 23:34 the prayer of Jesus Christ at His death: 'Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do' …
I was certainly one of those for whom He had prayed. The many men I had killed had been slaughtered in the name of patriotism, for I did not understand the love which Christ wishes to implant within every heart.
Right at that moment, I seemed to meet Jesus for the first time. I understood the meaning of His death as a substitute for my wickedness, and so in prayer, I requested Him to forgive my sins and change me from a bitter, disillusioned ex-pilot into a well-balanced Christian with purpose in living …"
Fuchida added:
"I became a new person. My complete view on life was changed by the intervention of the Christ I had always hated and ignored before .I have traveled across Japan and the Orient introducing others to the One Who changed my life.
I believe with all my heart that those who will direct Japan – and all other nations – in the decades to come must not ignore the message of Jesus Christ."
Kiyoko Takeda Cho, a prominent intellectual in Tokyo described the missionaries:
"They were young and idealistic, and identified with Japan … They represented not the ruling country, but came for reconciliation. That attitude was very much appreciated, not only by Christians but also non-Christians."
To MacArthur's credit, no other military occupation in history matched the peace and reconciliation he achieved in the aftermath of WWII.
As recorded in "The Faith of MacArthur: Binding Up the Wounds of a Broken Nation," by Joseff J. B. Smith, (College at Brockport, SUNY, 05/10/2013), MacArthur stated:
"If the historian of the future should deem my service worthy of some slight reference, it would be my hope that he mention me not as a commander engaged in campaigns and battles, even though victorious to American arms, but rather as that one whose sacred duty it became, once the guns were silenced, to carry to the land of our vanquished foe the solace and hope and faith of Christian morals …
An occupation not conceived in a spirit of vengeance or mastery of victor over vanquished, but committed to the Christian purpose of helping a defeated, bewildered and despairing people."
When U.S. occupation of Japan ended in 1952, it was apparent that relatively few Christian missionaries responded to MacArthur's call to come to Japan, and an enormous opportunity was missed.
This is significantly different to the outcome after the Korean War, with the vibrant growth of Christianity in South Korea, which is now sending missionaries throughout the world.
Douglas MacArthur received the Medal of Honor, as did his father, Arthur MacArthur, who served during the Civil War.
The only other father and son to receive the Medal of Honor were Theodore Roosevelt, for leading the charge up Cuba's San Juan Hill during the Spanish-American War, and his son, Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr., for leading the first wave of troops ashore at Normandy during World War II.
Promoted to five-star general, MacArthur was Supreme U.N. Commander during the beginning of the Korean War, making a daring landing of troops deep behind enemy lines at Inchon and recapturing Seoul.
MacArthur became at odds with President Truman who did not want to confront the Communist Chinese.
Truman instead introduced the "containment" strategy which sentenced millions to live under communist totalitarianism.
MacArthur disagreed, stating:
"It is fatal to enter a war without the will to win it"; and "In war there is no substitute for victory."
Truman made the stunningly unpopular decision to remove MacArthur.
On April 19, 1951, following his tour of Korea, General Douglas MacArthur spoke to a Joint Session of Congress to announce his retirement:
"I am closing my fifty-two years of military service. When I joined the Army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fulfillment of all my boyish hopes and dreams.
… The world has turned over many times since I took the oath on the Plain at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have all since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most popular barracks ballads of that day, which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
And, like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who has tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Good-by."
MacArthur told West Point cadets, May 1962:
"The soldier, above all other men, is required to practice the greatest act of religious training — sacrifice.
In battle and in the face of danger and death, he discloses those Divine attributes which his Maker gave when He created man in His own image …
No physical courage and no brute instinct can take the place of Divine help which alone can sustain him.
However horrible the incidents of war may be, the soldier who is called upon to offer and to give his life for his country is the noblest development of mankind."
Warning of the deep-state, he addressed the Michigan legislature in Lansing, Michigan, May 15, 1952, (Edward T. Imparato, General MacArthur Speeches and Reports 1908-1964, published in 2000, p. 206):
"Talk of imminent threat to our national security through … external force is pure nonsense.
Our threat is from the insidious forces working from within which have already so drastically altered the character of our free institutions — those institutions we proudly called the American way of life."
On January 18, 1955, a monument was dedicated to General Douglas MacArthur at the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday, which had inscribed his statement:
"Battles are not won by arms alone. There must exist above all else a spiritual impulse — a will to victory. In war there can be no substitute for victory."
On July 25, 1951, General Douglas MacArthur told the Massachusetts Legislature:
"It was the adventurous spirit of Americans which despite risks and hazards carved a great nation from an almost impenetrable wilderness … which built our own almost unbelievable material progress … which raised the standard of living of the American people beyond that ever before known …
This adventurous spirit is now threatened as it was in the days of the Boston Tea Party by an unconscionable burden of taxation.
This is sapping the initiative and energies of the people and leaves little incentive for the assumption of those risks which are inherent and unescapable in the forging of progress under the system of free enterprise.
Worst of all, it is throwing its tentacles around the low income bracket sector of our society, from whom is now exacted the major share of the cost of government. This renders its paper income largely illusory …"
He continued:
"The so-called forgotten man of the early thirties now is indeed no longer forgotten as the Government levies upon his income as the main remaining source to defray reckless spendthrift policies.
More and more we work not for ourselves but for the State. In time, if permitted to continue, this trend cannot fail to be destructive.
For no nation may survive in freedom once its people become servants of the State, a condition to which we are now pointed with dreadful certainty …"
MacArthur added:
"Nothing is heard from those in the supreme executive authority concerning the possibility of a reduction or even a limitation upon these mounting costs.
No suggestion deals with the restoration of some semblance of a healthy balance. No plan is advanced for easing the crushing burdens already resting upon the people.
To the contrary, all that we hear are the plans by which such costs progressively may be increased … for greater call upon the taxable potential as though the resources available were inexhaustable."
In 1942, General MacArthur was named Father of the Year. He stated:
"By profession I am a soldier and take pride in that fact. But I am prouder — infinitely prouder — to be a father.
A soldier destroys in order to build; the father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentiality of death; the other embodies creation and life.
And while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still.
It is my hope that my son, when I am gone, will remember me not from the battle but in the home repeating with him our simple daily prayer, 'Our Father Who Art in Heaven.'"
He composed "A Father's Prayer" in the early days of World War II while in the Pacific:
"Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.
Build me a son whose wishes will not take the place of deeds; a son who will know Thee — and that to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge.
Lead him, I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge. Here let him learn to stand up in the storm; here let him learn compassion for those who fail …"
MacArthur continued:
"Build me a son whose heart will be clear, whose goal will be high; a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men; one who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past.
And after all these things are his, add, I pray, enough of sense of humor, so that he may always be serious, yet never take himself too seriously.
Give him humility, so that he may always remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, and the meekness of true strength.
Then, I, his father, will dare to whisper, 'I have not lived in vain.'"
MacArthur warned in a speech to the Salvation Army, December 12, 1951, stating:
"History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline.
There has been either a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse, or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster."
MacArthur, who considered himself "a soldier of God as well as of the republic," concluded his address to the Massachusetts State Legislature in Boston, July 25, 1951:
"We must unite in the high purpose that the liberties etched upon the design of our life by our forefathers be unimpaired and that we maintain the moral courage and spiritual leadership to preserve inviolate that mighty bulwark of all freedom, our Christian faith."

MILAN — Adding the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor obicetrapib to high-intensity statins significantly lowers cholesterol levels and substantially increases the number of patients achieving cholesterol targets, suggest data from the ROSE trial.
The latest results are something of a reversal for the CEPT inhibitor, after a series of disappointments led to many writing them off, and the original developer of obicetrapib, Amgen, discontinuing development in 2017.
However, as reported by theheart.org | Medscape Cardiology, a team of academics led by experts from the Universities of Amsterdam and Chicago acquired the drug and set up New Amsterdam Pharma to develop it further.
Now, a trial comparing two doses of obicetrapib with placebo in 120 patients already on high-intensity statin therapy has shown that it significantly reduces low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by up to 51% over baseline and improves many other lipid parameters.
The drug was also associated with up to 82.5% of patients achieved an LDL cholesterol target of 55 mg/dL to 70 mg/dL, all while being well tolerated.
Consequently, "this could obviously be a valuable addition for high-risk atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease patients who don't achieve current levels of guideline recommendations, despite the use of high-intensity statins," said presenter Kausik K. Ray, MD, PhD.
The research was presented at the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) 2022 congress on May 23.
Ray, from the Imperial Centre for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention, Imperial College London, who is president of EAS, told theheart.org | Medscape Cardiology that the current findings should allay fears over CETP inhibitors as a class.
He acknowledged that there were safety concerns torcetrapib, efficacy concerns with dalcetrapib, and investigations of evacetrapib were "stopped early" and represent a "wasted opportunity."
Moreover, although anacetrapib "showed that LDL lowering via CETP inhibition worked," retention of the drug in fat tissue meant it had an extended half-life.
Ray said that, in contrast, obicetrapib is the "most potent" drug in the class, has "none of the off-target effects of torcetrapib and, after stopping, is not retained in the body," making it a "viable option."
He emphasized that cost limits the use of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors and small-interfering (si)RNA drugs, "so there is a huge unmet need globally in order to get patients to goal."
"If the drug is cheap," Ray added, "which it should be, it will be a better option" than bempedoic acid with or without ezetimibe as an add-on to statins, "thus picking up the lions share."
Largest LDL Reduction
Alberico L. Catapano, MD, PhD, professor of pharmacology, University of Milan, who is past president of the EAS and was not involved in the study, agreed with Ray's assessment of obicetrapib.
"Provided the safety is okay," which will be better determined in a large, randomized outcomes trial, he said, "I am quite positive because the reduction of LDL is the largest" for the class.
Catapano told theheart.org | Medscape Cardiology that he therefore believes that there is hope for the drug, although where it will fit into the treatment pathway is "a different story."
He underscored that with a huge number of trials and experience in the treatment of "hundreds of millions" of people, statins will remain the "cornerstone" of lipid management, particularly given that they are generic.
"After that," Catapano said, there will be combination therapy, starting with bempedoic acid and ezetimibe, followed by PCSK9 inhibitors, siRNA drugs, and CETP inhibitors, all competing for the same space.
Combination Therapies
Ray began his presentation by explaining that any update to risk-based goals for LDL cholesterol "inevitably means" the greater use of combination therapies in addition to high-intensity statins.
As the cost of "potent but expensive" injectable therapies has limited their uptake, he noted, "there remains a high unmet need for new effective, safe therapies.
Noting that obicetrapib has previously demonstrated LDL-cholesterol reductions of 45% against low or no statin therapy, Ray said the ROSE study set out to examine the drug in addition to high-intensity statin therapy.
All patients had to be on a stable statin dose 8 weeks prior to screening and had to have fasting LDL-cholesterol levels above 1.8 mmol/L (32.4 mg/dL). However, they were required to be free of significant cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, or uncontrolled hypertension.
They were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to obicetrapib 5 mg or 10 mg or placebo, and were assessed at baseline and weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, and 23.
Of 195 patients, 120 were randomized, and all but one completed treatment. Mean age of the study cohort was 61.1 to 62.9 years, and between 35.7% and 52.5% of participants were female. Mean baseline LDL-cholesterol levels ranged from 88.0 mg/dL to 95.0 mg/dL.
Compared with baseline, the addition of obicetrapib 5 mg to high-intensity statin therapy reduced LDL-cholesterol levels by 42%, whereas the addition of obicetrapib 10 mg was associated with median reductions of 51%. Both reductions were significantly greater than the 7% reduction with placebo (P < .0001 for both).
Patients taking the lower dose of obicetrapib also saw reductions in their apolipoprotein (apo)B levels, compared with baseline, of 24%, which increased to 30% with the higher dose, compared with 3% for placebo. Reductions in non-high-density-lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol levels were 39%, 44%, and 4% respectively.
Lipoprotein(a) levels fell by a median of 33.8%, compared with baseline, in patients in the obicetrapib 5 mg group and by 56.5% in those in the 10 mg group; in the placebo group, levels remained unchanged.
Triglycerides also were reduced by a median of 11%, compared with baseline, with obicetrapib 5 mg and by 8% with obicetrapib 10 mg, but rose by 2% with placebo.
In contrast, HDL-cholesterol levels increased by a median of 135%, compared with baseline, with obicetrapib 5 mg and by 165% with obicetrapib 10 mg; in contrast, levels decreased by 5% with placebo.
The results also showed that apolipoprotein A1 levels increased with the 5 mg and 10 mg doses of obicetrapib, by a median of 45% and 48%, respectively, compared with baseline, whereas levels remained unchanged with placebo.
Ray showed that the LDL-cholesterol target of 55 mg/dL to 70 mg/dL was achieved by 82.5% of patients in the higher-dose group, 75.0% in the lower-dose group, and just 15.0% in the placebo group.
A similar picture was seen for a target of 85 mg/dL to 100 mg/dL for non-HDL cholesterol, with 90.0% of patients in the 10 mg group and 82.5% in the 5 mg group achieving the target, compared with 25.0% in the placebo group.
For an apoB target of 65 mg/dL to 80 mg/dL, target attainment was 92.5% with obicetrapib 10 mg, 80.0% with obicetrapib 5 mg, and 37.5% with placebo.
Ray said that "one side of the coin is efficacy" and the other is safety, and "there is a safety profile that is broadly comparable with placebo, with no excess of adverse events or serious adverse events."
In fact, obicetrapib was associated with a lower rate of adverse events overall, at 32.5% with the 5 mg dose, 20.0% with the 10 mg dose, and 47.5% with placebo.

BLOOMBERG – Battles brews to dump Jim Crow-era voting rules in Deep South
Mississippi has the highest percentage of African Americans of any state in the U.S. It hasn't elected a black official statewide in more than 130 years. Jennifer Riley Collins wants to break that streak.
To become Mississippi's first black attorney general, Collins, a decorated U.S. Army colonel and civil rights lawyer, is getting help from the country's first black attorney general, Eric Holder. He's leading a lawsuit aimed at the state's 1890 constitution, which more than a century later still has provisions expressly crafted to stop African Americans from getting elected.
If successful, the federal suit would scrap rules requiring candidates for statewide office to win both more than 50% of the popular vote and more than half the state's 122 state legislative districts — two-thirds of which are majority white. If a candidate doesn't meet both conditions, the state House of Representatives chooses the winner regardless of who got the most votes.
SOS candidate Watson endorsed by MS Right to Life
Honored to have the endorsement of MS Right to Life. As a state senator, I prioritized protecting the lives of the unborn. We need a fighter as our next Secretary of State. I'm the only candidate with a proven record of fighting for our values. #MWforSOShttps://t.co/M5oHngCvt3 pic.twitter.com/C8DxNeU7lU

SUNHERALD – What South Mississippi needs to know about Tuesday's legislative races
South Mississippi is guaranteed to have at least four new state legislators after the 2019 election cycle concludes in November.
And the first step in that process is nine contested legislative races that will be decided in the party primaries Tuesday.
Four incumbents — state Reps. David Baria and Scott DeLano, and State Sens. Tommy Gollott and Michael Watson — are stepping down from their current posts. Gollott retired, Baria did not seek re-election and DeLano and Watson are seeking different offices. Watson is running for secretary of state and DeLano is trying to move from the House to the state Senate.
WLOX – Newman, DeLano working the neighborhoods before primary election
One race in South Mississippi that has been getting a lot of attention is for the District 50 state Senate seat left open by the retirement of Tommy Gollott.
In the last weekend before election day, the two Republican candidates, Biloxi councilwoman Dixie Newman and former state representative Scott DeLano, are getting off the computer and walking down the neighborhoods.
"We're just trying to make sure people know where they vote, which precincts they're going to be in and vote for me," DeLano said. "I think it's very important to look someone right in the eye and ask them for their vote."
SUNHERALD – What the Coast needs to know about the race for Transportation, Public Service Commissioners
On Tuesday, people across Mississippi will head to the polls to vote for local and state leaders. On the ballot will be candidates to help lead the Public Service Commission and Department of Transportation.

NEWSMS – Congressman Guest passes first bill on House floor
This afternoon, Congressman Michael Guest became the first freshman Republican Member of the House of Representatives in the 116th Congress to pass a piece of legislation on the House floor.
That occurred when the 'Terrorist and Foreign Fighter Travel Exercise Act' passed after it was considered under suspension of the rules and received broad bipartisan support.
While explaining the bill when it was introduced, Guest stated the bill enhances the U.S. government's ability to respond to terrorism by instructing the Department of Homeland Security to develop and conduct a preparedness exercise related to the detection and prevention of terrorist and foreign fighter travel.

MBJ – MMA names John McKay President and CEO
The Executive Committee of the Mississippi Manufacturers Association (MMA) has announced that John H. McKay is the new President and CEO of the MMA. John will act as the interim President and CEO until October, at which time he will be confirmed as the full-time President and CEO by the MMA Board of Directors.
"We are excited about John assuming the position of President and CEO," said Andrew Mallinson, this year's MMA Chairman, and CEO of Multicraft in Pelahatchie. "John has helped to pass several legislative initiatives that have improved the operating conditions of our members. He has solid administrative skills and will do a fine job as our new President and CEO."
MBJ – Bill Crawford: Sonny saw others as potential allies, not enemies
The first "day before" this year for Mississippi elections landed on August 5th. That is also the birthday of a Mississippi politician who seldom had to scurry for last minute votes. The late Congressman G.V. 'Sonny' Montgomery would have turned 99 this year. That's also about the margin of his tightest race, his 1955 election to the Mississippi State Senate over then Lauderdale County School Principal Donald Williamson.
In remembering Sonny, the stark contrast between him and today's state and national politicians stands out. Aggressive partisanship embraced today casts those from the other party as enemies. Sonny was above partisanship, seeing others as potential allies. Indeed, Sonny worked tirelessly to unite, not divide.
Former Senate Majority Leader and Republican Senator Trent Lott said at Sonny's 2006 memorial service, "A long-time Democrat, Sonny was truly above party. And no one, on either side of the aisle, ever questioned his sincerity, his integrity, or his independence. A loyal son of Mississippi, one of ours, from his birth to his passing, he really belonged to the nation. For although he saw things from the wisdom and experience of Mississippi's people, what he always looked out for was the national good."

if she was a little taller she would look as if she was peeing on the dog.
A sad truth that the only people with happy faces in this picture, as in town, seem to be the drawings. Everyone in 3-D looks thoroughly miserable all the time, no matter how many infantile "characters" they surround themselves with.
Nice Pic. Humorous.
Whoa, that's really nice pic. Well done!
Boards in front of Paul Smith store soon to open in Shin-Tokyo Building on Naka Dori in Marunouchi. What do I win?
Only real people are addicted to keitai.
Yes Yes Yes Yes- Japan Creed Of The Keitai
" This is my keitai, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me, my keitai useless, without my keitai I am useless. "
She is checking her Twitter.
lovely photo and lovely comments. Start looking at the nice things and you won't be bitter!
Nice pic, agreed, I was thinking, "Thats an odd looking mannequin!"
Japanese woman + looking at + mobile + & texting = Bumping in to me at Tokyo Sation
If I gained a 100 yen for everytime someone bumps into me at Tokyo Station while using their keitai I would be a rich man.
ivan, do you always walk around town with a big smile on your face? Not unless you want to be thought of as "hen" eh?
@ ivan, I find your comment sad, not the picture
As for me, the woman is within my age group, that makes me smile :-)
marsnairb is correct, just a little bit higher. As it is she has very erotic ankles...
looks like a funny augmented reality image, let's all follow the woman in red
What a waste of advertising.
People walking around with their eyes and ears glued to their mobile phone aren't going to see any of these creations, unless they bump into it...
really sugoi)) this picture and an advertisement
An amateurish, boring photo of absolutely no social relevance or visual interest.
watch out for that bus!!
Her hobbies include, texting while walking, texting while eating, texting while sleeping on the train, texting while texting...
Is she wearing a wig or new type of hair style?!
bicultural - there has to be a middle ground between grinning like an idiot and looking like a bagful of smashed arseholes like the denizens of this burg do.
Look at the drawing - everyone's mouth goes up at the corners. This vinegar-titted old trout has the corners of her mouth pointing at her shoulders. Par for the course in this neck of the woods.
ben says:
<i>An amateurish, boring photo of absolutely no social relevance or visual interest.</i>
It's not so much that, as . . . it's been done already.
Some urban background of a Tokyo building or scene scape, and a business or casually dressed Tokyoite with a keitai. Oooh! How exotic! How electronic!
I think when I was snapping the Yaesu Mizuho Shoken board on Sotodori the other day, (after Kan won), I caught a passer-by in the flick. I have to go back and check, but it's going to look a lot like this photo. Except a guy and the electronic shoken board.
An amateurish, boring photo of absolutely no social relevance or visual interest.
Really? Reuters, a very professional organization, thought enough of it to publish it. It gains visual interest from the fact that a real person is walking the same way the people in the ad are walking. Would have been a little bit nicer if the photog had dragged the shutter to blur her motion.
Great shot. Moral of the pic: Get off the phone and you can smile like the rest of us.
her shoes do nothing for the rest of her outfit
"Great shot. Moral of the pic: Get off the phone and you can smile like the rest of us." Derelict, smart comments. I can tell, you're able to read btwn those lines and curves.
" This is my keitai, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me, my keitai useless, without my keitai I am useless. "
LOL +1 internet point for you, sir.

I used several diffrent setups but the most sucessful was a short strand of flashers(3 willow blades)and a wedding ring with a piece of worm on it.I caught the kokes on pop gear with a pink taz devil about two feet back.I had 3 to 4 colors out most of the day.I fished from 12:30 to 6:30 and the wind wasn't to bad.I missed as many as i caught,so definatly some room for improvement there.For the first time using a new method, i was happy with my results. lyn

(RepublicanPress.org) – Working to serve and protect while wearing a badge comes with its fair share of risks. The police and FBI have a huge responsibility to uphold, and it's always heartbreaking when someone loses their life in the line of duty.
Most recently, two FBI agents were shot and killed, and three others wounded in Sunrise, Florida, in the early morning hours of Tuesday, February 2. The two who died were identified as Special Agents Laura Schwartzenberger and Daniel Alfin.
The officers were part of a team of law enforcement officials executing a search warrant as part of an investigation into a case involving violent crimes against children.
FBI Director Christopher Wray issued a statement expressing condolences to the families of the slain agents. He also advised that two of the agents required hospital care but are in stable condition. The third agent injured in the incident did not require hospitalization.

Zero Day Security Hole In Windows 7?
A new zero day security hole has been discovered in Windows 7 according to the International Business Times. According to their article a new – and actually the first – zero day vulnerability has been discovered by Chinese security researchers who reported the vulnerability to Microsoft. Microsoft did not issue a statement yet or acknowledged the vulnerability which means that the story has to be taken with a grain of salt.
The information about the security hole are scarce. It apparently is able to trigger blue screens when creating or closing windows thanks to incompatibilities with code taken from Windows 3.1.
The graphical interfaces system of Windows 7 RC contains old codes from Windows 3.1 where security is not considered when developed. When Microsoft optimizes the graphical interfaces of Windows 7, the incompatibility with old codes leads the system to blue screen.
Attackers will be able to firstly invade the System server of certain object to launch the attack, or to make a potential opportunity for a second attack. Thus, the security hole is a greater threat for the firm and government customers who're using Windows 7 RC.
The meaning of the second paragraph is not really clear. It most likely means that attackers have to successfully attack the computer system before they can exploit the vulnerability.

Stuff We Love: Carhartt Pac Winter Work Boot
Keep your feet warm, dry and happy with these high-quality work boots from Carhartt.
Every editorial product is independently selected, though we may be compensated or receive an affiliate commission if you buy something through our links. Ratings and prices are accurate and items are in stock as of time of publication.
For those of you who work outside in winter you know how miserable it is to have cold feet. Being on your feet all day is tough enough without the pain of cold toes. Here is the last of three OSHA-approved boots we tried that are designed to keep you warm, dry and comfortable on winter days.
If you want happy feet at the end of a long day check out this latest offering from Carhartt. For more details on these great boots and where to buy them, click the "shop now" link below.
Also, be sure to check out our reviews of the first two pairs of boots to compare and contrast the features and fit.
Carhartt Pac Boot
I see these boots as sort of a modern take on the old loggers boots. They quickly lace up 10 inches high with hybrid lace enclosures that cinch to a good fit. The lower boot is a polyurethane coated leather while the upper is mostly oil tanned leather.
Inside the boot there's a waterproof breathable membrane with 1000g of insulation, which means they are plenty warm and stay dry in the wettest conditions. Inside the generous rubber protection on the heel, ankle and toe, there are composite guards to thwart injury.
Other features include a removable EVA insole for custom fitting and large comfortable top cuff. I wore these these boots for a couple of outdoor winter work weekends and found them pretty stiff initially but they loosened up after a couple days and felt great. So, I would say the next time you "pull on your Carhartt's" these boots will make a great addition.

Assignment 1: Permissions Oversight and Overview
Due Week 3 and worth 150 points
Suppose you were contracted by a local medium-sized business to speak with its business unit leaders about the importance of resource permissions in organizations. In your first moments on the job, you learn from a senior-level employee that the company just experienced a data theft incident at the hands of an employee, primarily due to the lack of permissions and resource segregation in the company.

Why does the yellow jersey get a lion?
What gives, cycling? Plausible theories, cycling enthusiasts. But the lion was actually the mascot of longtime Tour de France title sponsor Crédit Lyonnais. According to French sports magazine L'Équipe, the bank has been handing out the fluffy lions at the Tour since 1987.
Why does the Tour de France have a stuffed lion?
A lion is given to the yellow jersey holder at the end of each stage because it is mascot of French bank Credit Lyonnaise, which has sponsored the jersey since 1987.
Do Tour de France riders drink alcohol?
Riders drank alcohol during the race, from beer to wine to champagne, for both hydration and (let's be honest) a more fun ride.
How much is a Tour de France bike worth?
Of course, each rider customizes his bike depending on the conditions and his own preferences, but let's take a look at the components and features included in the consumer model that add up to the whopping $11,500 price tag.
What is the yellow jersey in cycling?
YELLOW: The maillot jaune, the yellow jersey, is the signature chemise of the Tour de France. It designates the overall leader of the race so far. When cyclists finish the three-week race by cruising through the streets of Paris , the photo of the yellow-shirted winner is seen around the globe.
Who wears the yellow jersey in the Tour de France?
The general classification is the most important classification, the one by which the winner of the Tour de France is determined. Since 1919, the leader of the general classification wears the yellow jersey (French: maillot jaune pronounced [majo ʒon]).
What does the green jersey mean in Tour de France?
Created in 1953 on the occasion of the Tour de France's 50th anniversary, the green jersey , which is sponsored by Skoda, rewards the rider who is leading the points classification each day. Points are awarded at stage finishes and at the intermediate sprints in line stages.
Do cyclists poop themselves?
As races became more competitive, riders would still stop to use the bathroom but the other riders would not stop as well. Today, nobody stops for anything short of the apocalypse and having to poop does not count as apocalyptic. So What Do They Do Now? Today, elite athletes will just poop their pants and continue on.
Why do pro cyclists drink Coke?
Even better, the Coke -like fluid improved the riders ' power outputs at the end of their two-hour rides by 8%. ' Coke is hypertonic,' says Ranchordas. 'Hypertonic drinks contain more than 8% carbs and take longer to leave the stomach because of the higher concentration of carbs, so they work over a longer period.
Is cycling still dirty?
This much can be safely said: Cycling today is far cleaner than before. Testing has improved by great leaps and athletes have their blood tested out of season, as well. That said, cycling certainly is not altogether clean.
What is the most expensive bike brand?
10 World's Most Expensive Bicycles

|Chrome Hearts x Cervelo

How much do cyclists get paid?
The pay scale Pro continental riders make anywhere from $26,200 to $171,200. If riders can get past this point, however, the payment gets more lucrative. The ultimate goal for many cyclists , however, is to make it onto the UCI World Tour, where the minimum wage is $2.35M.

Most days of our lives, we are trying to build the life we want for our families and for ourselves. But there comes a point where everything becomes so fast paced that it becomes crucial to set aside some time for yourself to unwind and find your footing. With our ever full schedules, reminders, meetings and deadlines, it is that much more important to take time to sit back and relax and let the body return to its supple form, as we let the mental distractions fade away. One well known and ancient way is through yoga.
What is yoga?
Yoga comes from the ancient Sanskrit word, 'yuj' which means 'to yoke'. It aims to integrate the mind, body, and spirit to achieve a state of enlightenment. It is a collection of techniques which includes breath control, meditation and assuming body positions. And a person practicing yoga is called a "yogi".
Equipment Needed
In starting a yoga practice routine, first, you need yourself. The commitment to a routine requires self-determination and perseverance. It is also advisable to wear loose and stretchable clothes to provide ease in movement. You may also need a yoga mat for the floor exercises which comes in variety of sizes, colors and thickness. Yoga blocks and straps are also great tools especially for "hard to reach" poses and to better align yourself.
Starting the yoga habit
- In yoga, it is essential to know the proper way of breathing, most especially when holding various posture. One breathes in and out through the nose and into the belly as the movements occur. Your instructor will guide you on this at first, then gradually, the rhythm and postures will become one.
- Begin with a short meditation and intention setting. Assume an easy pose or accomplished pose (or any comfortable position) and take a few minutes to ground, center, and introspect with one of the many meditations. At this point, you may set an intention, goal, or prayer for your yoga practice.
- As beginner be reminded to take it slow. Begin with warm up sequences and then try to practice the basic and/or beginner yoga pose sequences first. Make sure you understand the alignment of the postures. Follow the transition phases as if the whole practice is one sequence.
- Close out the meditation with a savasana, also known as the 'relaxation pose'. You can try to rest on your back and consciously relaxing your body for at least 5 to15 minutes. A short, seated meditation after the relaxation pose is recommended. This is to facilitate the integration of your yoga practice and transition back into the world.
- Special care must be observed in all postures. Certain postures must be avoided if you are under an existing medical condition such as pregnancy, high blood pressure, injuries to knees, shoulders, and neck.
- In order to increase intensity of your yoga practice, try holding postures for longer and longer periods of time. Slowly switch to a more advanced and challenging posture. Move quickly between postures.
Yoga not only provides a peace of mind but as well various physiological benefits. It increases flexibility, muscle strength and tone. It also improves respiration energy and vitality. Yoga can assist in weight reduction and balanced metabolism.
In this fast paced world, it is important to keep yourself healthy and balanced. Yoga will provide you with benefits not only with the mind, and soul but as well as the body. It is also a good environment for social interaction with other yogis and like minded individuals. Incorporating yoga and other energy balancing practices such as Tai Chi into your regular routine will help reap benefits of living a life full of vigor, harmony and health.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was the first president of South Africa to be elected in fully representative democratic elections. Dismantling the legacy of apartheid was the main focus of his government by tackling institutionalized racism and fostering racial reconciliation.
Before working as a lawyer in Johannesburg, he studied law at the University of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand. There he became involved in anti-colonial and African nationalist politics. He joined the African National Congress, ANC, in 1944 and was an anti-apartheid activist.
Mandela was imprisoned for plotting to overthrow the government to end apartheid. Throughout his twenty- seven years in prison, Nelson Mandela rejected any compromise of his political position to procure his freedom.
Upon his release in 1990, Mandela proclaimed his commitment to reconciliation and peace with the country's white minority. During his presidency from 1994 to 1999, he oversaw the transition from minority rule and apartheid.

After retirement, Mandela became an advocate for numerous social and human rights organizations. He was honored with more than a hundred awards in recognition of his tireless dedication and contribution to these causes. Nelson Mandela's strong ideals of international understanding and peace continue to impact the world.
Within South Africa, he is deeply respected by African people, where he is often referred by his Xhosa clan name, Madiba, and described as the "Father of the Nation" just like Mahatma Gandhi in India. Here are our Top 40 Inspiring Nelson Mandela Quotes for you that will inspire you.
Top 40 Inspiring Nelson Mandela Quotes
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the FREEDOM of others.
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
One cannot be prepared for something while secretly believing it will not happen.
Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.
Only free men can negotiate, prisoners can't enter in contracts.
Live life as though nobody is watching, and express yourself as though everyone is listening.
Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.
True reconciliation does not consist in merely forgetting the past.
There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
It always seems impossible until it's done.
After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.
Let there be justice for all. Let there be peace for all. Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all. Let each know that for each the body, the mind and the soul have been freed to fulfill themselves.
It is music and dancing that make me at peace with the world.
The first thing is to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself… Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, and humility.
I am the captain of my soul.
It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.
In my country we go to prison first and then become President.
The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
We can't afford to stand divided… If we stand together, victory of the liberation movement is assured.
Man's goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished.
No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
There is no passion to be found playing small— in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.
Leaders are important but HISTORY is ultimately not made by kings and generals. It is made by the masses.
May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.
I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons will live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But, my lord, if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.
A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.
No single person can liberate a country. You can only liberate a country if you act as a collective.
When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.
Know your enemy — and learn about his favorite sport.
You will achieve more in this world through acts of mercy than you will through acts of retribution.
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.
I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.
Appearances matter — and remember to smile.
It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others.
Money won't create success, the fredom to make it will.
Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
A winner is a dreamer who never gives up.

(Daily Mirror) – We thought married life might have curbed his lengthy rants and obnoxious statements – but we were wrong.
Kanye West. Rapper, husband, daddy, and spouter of the most amazingly ridiculous quotes.
When we recently laid eyes on pictures of him doing the impossible and smiling we thought married life might have warmed his inner grump, and he'd become a lot more laid back.
Bizarre, ranting Kanye – who recently also said people "didn't understand his and Kim's interracial relationship" – hasn't gone anywhere. In fact, he's back and bigger, better and more bizarre than ever.
Here's a list of the most ridiculous statements that have spilled out of the 37-year-old's mouth since tying the knot with reality kueen Kim Kardashian less than 30 days ago….

The Suit Truck
The Soto & Co. mobile opened its doors April 2016, at The Domain in North Austin, alongside some of the country's principal retailers. We encourage you to drop in and visit us Thursday through Sunday at the Domain 1 (across from the Apple Store and Starbucks). For those with busy schedules and limited time, appointments are always welcome. Offering custom suits, shoes, shirts, and other accessories to create the modern gentleman's perfect ensemble, the 18-foot renovated cargo van is a distinctive shopping experience. With the assistance of family, creativity and lots of patience, Soto & Co. was able to bring the plans off paper and into reality. Father and son transformed an abandoned carrier truck into a stylish and welcoming fashion studio that invites men to suit up and stand out.
The Showroom
In 2020, when the world stood still, we moved forward by expanding and putting down roots. In the heart of East Austin, where you find a community of eager artists and entrepreneurs, a rich history, and a growing culture of creativity, Soto & Co. now welcomes you to its first permanent suit design studio. Although we continue to stay true to our mobile beginnings, what's been consistent is the love for and from this community. Austin, TX is unique in its support of local and POC-owned businesses and we look forward to continuing to call it home.

Fans have been unsure on NBC's commitment to the quite entertaining 'Constantine' and the latest update tells us that the network is still unsure on what to do about a second season. While the studio cancelled extra episodes for the first season from being created, the producers are still confident that the series will get greenlit for another season . Even 'Constantine' lead actor Matt Ryan has said that he is "confident" and "hopeful" that the series will return.
Where does the network stand though? At the Television Critics Association Press Tour the subject was brought up to studio chairman Robert Greenblatt who has said that the ratings just aren't where the networks wants them to be. However, that doesn't mean it won't be returning:
"We got on the bandwagon of these shows based on comic books and maybe there are too many of them. It's a popular series of comics, but it's not The Flash, it's not Batman. So maybe it suffers a little bit there. But as Jen said, it's a show we really like. We love Matt Ryan, who's the star of it. I think we did right by the fans who didn't like the film that was made of it. The future is still up in the air for that show."
With 'Hannibal' and 'Grimm' already doing well on the network, it seemed that mixing horror and comic books would be a sure fire win. Clearly it hasn't been able to nab as many viewers as NBC has wanted no matter how well put together the show itself is.
While views of the show are up in a variety of formats, it seems to be that live viewership is where the most concern is as:
"We wish the show had done better live. It has a big viewership after [it airs] in all kinds of ways and it has a younger audience, but the live number is challenging. It hasn't come out in the way we wanted it to, but we love the show. I think it's fair to say we're still talking about it."
Perhaps the new time slot of 8/7c that kicked off last week will help raise the series' numbers. Only time will tell!
What have your thoughts on the 'Constantine' series been so far? Is this a show that deserves to stay on the air or would you be open to seeing it get the ax?

A outlet for me, even at the age of three,
Writing became my therapy,
In my darkest moments, hidden from the world,
Alone, scared, silent,
My fingers searched for my pen and paper,
My only confidante.
Writing, writing, slowly, finding...
Who am I supposed to become?
The turtle I am, my reclusive shell, finally allowing, once in a while, my head to tentatively poke, and see,
The world my ambitious family coax me to conquer.
This big, wide, world, 7 billion people growing, for little me, for me to compete.
I'm not sure if I'll become queen,
Of anything really.
I don't know if I'll ever get to meet
The new and improved, the perfect me.
I don't even know,
If I'll ever be,
The person my family and everyone around me,
Wishes for me to be.
But one one thing I know,
For certain,
For sure,
Poetry will be there, as it's always been,
When the world's too cold for me to be in.

The summer weather here is on the warmer side. Occasionally the temperature may go up to 26 or 27 degrees as well. Nights are always comfortable and you may need a light blanket even during summer months. Winters are comfortable with temperature rarely going below 10 degrees. Monsoon months witness heavy rainfall and being located on the riverbank, monsoon rains have a special significance here. After a heavy rain when the river gushes with water, the sound and sight of the fast flowing river is something to witness.
This is a large 4 storied building on the main road that is difficult to miss. The ground floor has a small shop and an eating area. The 1st and 2nd floor are where you have guest rooms. The top floor is where the hosts live.
The amenities at Sittong Jogighat lodge is basic but hyginic. It is a newly constructed concrete building with decent room size and attached toilets. All rooms have access to Balcony overlooking the river. All rooms are on the second floor which has to be climbed through stairs. The lodge has been approved by Ministry of Tourism (government of India) in 2018 as a Homestay. So the basic requirements of the government are all satisfied here.
There is a Dinning area for guests in the ground floor, food is also served in the room if required. Both veg and non-veg foods are available. There is no power backup or television in the room. There is a shop on the ground floor in case you need to buy any essentials. This is a big advantage as in most homestays in the villages, in case of an emergency requirement, you may have to go quite far to get a shop, this is not the case here.
Next to Jogighat Bridge at Lower Sittong, also known as Lower Toryok area.
