With the Festive Spirit
Written by : Nithin Narayanan
The festival season is round the corner and like every household, shops owners are also re-decorating their stores to showcase the festive spirit. In India 75% of sales is done during the festival period. The festival time is usually the time when people purchase the new items. It is very important to for the retailer to attract the customer not only through new stocks but also with the visual appeal.
Like in every brand communication, EQ (EMOTIONAL QUATIENT) plays an important role even here. It is during the festival season that the retailer can connect with the customer in a more personalized way.
The trend nowdays is to is to have added services which supplements the merchandise, so that customers have an option to have a number of facilities under one roof which otherwise is not available. This kind of an initiative from the retailer gives the impression that the retailer is sync with the festive spirit.
Adequate precaution and care should be taken to display and present new and delicate merchandise as large number of footfalls can take the focus out the goal. Many retailers assume that during the festival season, customers would pour in, without an initiative from the retailer's side.
New merchandise should also be with the festive spirit. The Ensembles in the store as well as the display mannequins should present new merchandise depicting the festival mood. If the communication of the brand is right, it would definitely bring the customers in.
So as always keep the festive spirits high and happy retailing.

Erick Lyle chronicles his adventure hitchhiking to Texas in order to play bass in Ginn’s new Black Flag lineup, being offered the job and ultimately turning it down. Hat tip to Ross for the recommendation.
It dawned on me: Black Flag did not have a bass player. I could be that bass player! I decided right then and there to find out where Ginn was living, hitchhike across the country, and persuade him to let me try out—just as I had attempted to do at 16. I knew all the old songs, and I figured that thumbing it instead of flying or taking a bus would prove to Ginn that I had dedication.

Breath Test Gives Clue to Microorganisms in the Gut
A recent study at Cedars-Sinai suggests that a simple breath test can help determine the profile of microorganisms inhabiting one’s gut, which may give a clue of their likeliness of developing obesity. The study was published by The Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, and shows that high concentrations of both hydrogen and methane gasses in the breath are linked to a higher body mass index (BMI) and higher amounts of body fat.
Lead author Ruchi Mathur, MD, director of the Diabetes Outpatient Treatment and Education Center in the Division of Endocrinology at Cedars-Sinai states that this is the first large-scale study that demonstrates a link between gas production and body weight, which could prove to be an important factor in understanding the cause of obesity.
The study involved almost 800 people whose breaths were analyzed for types of gases released by microorganisms in their gut. The investigators discovered four patterns, where the participants either had normal gas content, high levels of methane, high concentration of hydrogen, or high levels of both gases. Participants who had high levels of both gases were noted to have significantly higher BMIs and body fat percentages.
Methane gas in the breath indicates the presence of a microbe called Methanobrevibacter smithii, which is responsible for majority of methane gas production in humans. Although microorganisms in the gut may be helpful in converting food into energy, this particular microbe, when overabundant, may alter the balance that might cause an increased likelihood of gaining weight, according to Mathur.
Mathur is currently involved in another study, which aims to confirm the association between M. smithii, obesity and increased blood sugar levels. He believes that it is important to understand how microorganisms in the gut affect metabolism and their impact on health.

Newswise — Peacekeeping operations grew in 2011, but at a slower rate than in previous years, according to a new report by the Center on International Cooperation (CIC) at New York University. The change was largely attributable to a decline in United Nations peacekeeping deployments last year.
The findings appear in CIC’s Annual Review of Global Peace Operations 2012.
The United Nations authorized two new peacekeeping missions in 2011, the UN Mission in South Sudan and the UN Interim Security Force for Abyei—the first missions since the joint UN-African Union (AU) Hybrid Mission in Darfur was authorized in 2007. Yet, in 2011, overall UN peacekeeping deployments experienced their first contraction since 2003.
However, because this decline was offset by increases in NATO and AU deployments, overall peacekeeping deployments continued to grow in 2011, though at a significantly reduced pace compared with previous years.
The study’s authors emphasized the ongoing need for peacekeeping missions, which are threatened by fiscal constraints felt worldwide.
“Rapidly changing environments tested the ability of peacekeeping missions to respond to violence, including electoral crises in Côte d’Ivoire, Haiti, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and renewed clashes between Sudan and South Sudan as the latter gained independence,” the study concluded. “The deepening global financial crisis continues to impact peacekeeping, and there is now greater pressure to limit new deployments and draw down large-scale peacekeeping operations. The cost of peacekeeping is likely to dominate policy discussions on mandates and resources for peacekeeping missions in 2012.”
The 2012 Annual Review, the seventh in the series that began in 2006, includes detailed data and analysis on peacekeeping trends and missions launched by the UN, NATO, EU, AU, and ad hoc arrangements.
The Annual Review is made possible with financial support from the Government of Australia, the Government of Germany, the Government of Norway, and the Compton Foundation. However, all opinions expressed in the report are those of CIC alone.
Complementary copies of the Review are available to the media. Please direct all inquiries to Constance Wilhelm at 212.998.3688 or [email protected].

Editor’s Note:The NYU Center on International Cooperation (CIC) works to enhance multilateral responses to global problems, including: conflict, humanitarian crises, and recovery; international security challenges, including weapons proliferation and the changing balance of power; and resource scarcity and climate change. Through innovative applied research and direct engagement with policy actors, CIC has been at the forefront of policy decision-making in each of its core areas of research.

015 Those Who Watch the Sky - 15
15 – Children Left Under the Sky 6
The rushing of water over stones and cascading into a pool from a noticeable height joined birdsong and sunlight in stimulating Link’s senses. Consciousness returned to her and the differences between, memory, dream, and the waking world became obvious. Still, her mind lingered for a moment longer and a word came to her lips.
Opening her eyes Link saw the blue sky above and the harsh reminder of her home being long gone descended upon her. She did not escape the destruction of her hometown alone however and Melody suddenly looked down at her looking both elated and relieved preceded the harpy smiling explosively in joy.
“Li~nk! ~♪ You’re awake! ~♪ Thanks goodness! ~♪”
“Link, I’m glad to see it’s still you. It is still you isn’t it.”
Joining Melody, Elliot looked down at Link, his left hand on the head of his scabbard as always and a smile on his face. His smile faded though as he expressed concern that made little sense to Link as she lay there trying to wrap her head around the situation that faced her. Turning her head towards the sound of the water she was greeted by the sight of the waterfall and pool they had pitched camp near the night before.
“Was it just a dream…? –⁈”
Trying to clear the fog of sleep from her mind and make sense of the night before Link moved to sit up and was wracked by a sensation she could not describe. It was not pain, but it was painful and her vision blurred and a wave of fear washed over her as visions of flaming emerald eyes appeared before her and threatened to drown out her consciousness. So powerful was the sensation it drowned nearly everything out until a flash of true pain brought her back and laid her out on her back. Finding herself staring at the blue sky again she heard Elliot complaining and turned her head to see him clutching his forehead.
“… do you that⁈ Ugh, my head hurts…”
“So does mine Elliot. Did you just head butt me?”
“He had to Link! You didn’t hear us at all!”
“Don’t move Link. Just lay there a moment while I wait for this throbbing to stop and then I’ll explain everything.”
Stopped by Elliot cutting in Link refrained from moving to question Melody about what she meant. As she waited she turned her eyes onto the worried harpy and offered her a smile. Melody smiled in return but there was a massive amount of worry and anxiety in her smile and it left Link wanting to know what was going on more than ever.
“I’m starting to grow impatient Elliot. Maybe Melody could fetch Sister while you wait for your head to stop throbbing…”
“One thing at a time Melody. Link is going to need time to process everything and it’s better we start with the most important thing first.”
Elliot advised Melody against responding to Link’s request as she trailed off and left Link starting to feel agitated. Fortunately for her waning patience Elliot seemed to have recovered enough to return to Link’s side.
“Now Link, I’m going to sit you up. Whatever you do, don’t move. Let me do everything.”
“What is going on Elliot?”
“I’d rather not explain until I have you sitting up, but maybe it’d be better so you don’t freak out and make things worse…”
Looking towards Link’s feet as he spoke Elliot began to mumble as he spoke.
“I’m going to throw a fit if you don’t explain what’s going on.”
“Please don’t Link! I don’t want to see you losing yourself again!”
“Losing myself? What are you talking about Mel–⁈”
Realization dawning on her as she spoke, Link’s eyes slowly widened. Turning her trembling gaze onto Elliot she swallowed loudly before speaking again.
“It’s okay Link. We can get through this together.”
Taking Link’s hand in his Elliot offered her a reassuring smile. With a flick of his eyes back towards her feet he silently asked her if she was ready to face what she feared and she nodded very slightly and put on a strained smile. Slipping his free hand under Link’s head he motioned with his for Melody to give them space. As he gently lifted Link into a sitting position Melody danced back a few steps anxiously and could not hide how upset she was as she watched Link visibly pale and breakout into a cold sweat.
Looking down her body, the sight that met Link’s gaze left her heart in her throat and a pit in her stomach. While not necessarily as bad as she feared, it was still a sight that she could not cope with immediately. From the knee down her legs appeared bare, except that instead of her own flesh it was shadowy darkness that served as her skin flickering like flames where it met her leggings clad flesh. Staring at the unnatural sight Link squeezed Elliot’s hand in her hers tight enough to chase the blood out of both of their hands and swallowed loudly again.
Stepping close again Melody continued to dance nervously from one talon to the other unable to hide her worry.
“I don’t really know. We were circling trying to find Elliot and suddenly a sack appeared out of nowhere… or maybe it was from the camp… or… Anyway! It appeared out of nowhere and slammed into your legs and kind of threw me off course. I mean it was kind of a good thing as I was able to spot Elliot but then you started screaming and thrashing about and there was a weird jingling sound and we crashed. I was able to get us down on top of Elliot though…”
“You said there was a jingling sound Melody…?”
“And that it came from the camp…?”
“It was dark and kind of hard to tell, but I think it did…”
Surprising both Elliot and Melody, Link suddenly groaned exasperatedly and clutched at her left temple.
“I can’t believe Father left it with Cliff and that Cliff knew about it. How could you break our promise you jerk…?”
“Link, I’m afraid neither Melody nor I know what you’re talking about…”
“You wouldn’t Elliot. It was Father and mine’s secret.”
Relaxing and calming her breathing Link loosened her grip on Elliot’s hand but also clasped it with her other. She may have had an idea what was going on but she was still having difficulty processing it all and needed the support.
“I just never expected this…”
“I don’t think that helped much Link.”
“Where do I even start…?”
“Somewhere that makes sense please Link. You’re saying a lot but I’m not hearing anything that makes sense.”
“Somewhere that makes sense huh? Sorry Melody that might be a little hard.”
Offering Melody a smile as she apologized for the difficulty of explaining the situation did nothing to alleviate the worried harpy. She couldn’t even return Link’s smile for how confused she was and it was up to Elliot to get Link’s explanation going again, regardless of whether it made sense or not.
“Perhaps if you just start from the beginning Link we can piece it together?”
“Well, from the beginning would be that a few years ago I finished making myself a suit of chainmail. It fit perfectly too, but father pointed out that that was no good since I was both still growing and he wasn’t going to let me go adventuring anytime soon.”
“Three years ago? Isn’t that when we fought those bandits?”
“Sure was and I probably would have been more fearless if I had had my chainmail, but I had already turned it over to father. He had promised to make it so that way it’d grow with me, but I had to promise to never touch it until I was well into my adventures. But…”
“You didn’t think your father would combine it with a Foreigner…”
“I don’t get Link. Why would your father combine a suit of armor with a Foreigner? Isn’t armor supposed to protect you from bad things?”
“Well, in a way if I’m infected by a Foreigner that is a suit of armor…”
“But it doesn’t look like any kind of armor that you’ve ever shown me in any book Link…”
“I agree with Melody, Link.”
All three of them turned their attention to Link’s lower legs and the state that they were in. The shadows that had replaced her skin from the knees down and seemingly consumed her shoes and the lower end of her leggings assuredly resemble no armor any of them knew of.
“I also don’t see how you could connect this back to your father at all.”
“Because of Cliff. Almost anytime we brought up my father he would touch a sack he had on his back along with his other packs. When he did he also didn’t look happy. For a while there I was worried maybe he had a hand or something in there and was waiting for the right time to reveal to me that my father had died back there so I’m actually kind of relieved.”
“Don’t worry about it Melody. Elliot here has kept his infection at bay for well over a ten-day now and he’s doing okay. Right Elliot?”
There was a loss of confidence in Link’s voice as she looked at Elliot’s sleep deprived features. Still she smiled hopefully but the smile Elliot responded with was not reassuring.
“I can’t really say Link. I haven’t slept since town was still there and that isn’t a very human thing to do. Then there is the burning sensation under my skin and all through my body. It wasn’t so bad at first when I first felt it when we were following Melody but it’s gotten worse and worse and I can’t be sure that all of my thoughts are even my own anymore. And that was just from my blood mingling with the Foreigner blood I was already drenched in. There isn’t a living Foreigner infecting me and it’s till this bad. And then Link…”
“We can’t even say what father did to the Foreigner he somehow merged with my chainmail…”
Finishing Elliot’s sentence for him, Link also looked down as she understood the implications of Elliot’s concern. She was not ready to give up yet however and now had a firm guess as to what she was dealing with.
“But you know what Elliot? Father wouldn’t have done it if he didn’t think I could handle it.”
“Maybe, Link, but I’m sure he also hoped you would never go adventuring and only completed it because of the promise he made you. I can’t believe that he would make something so dangerous so carelessly...”
“He didn’t make it carelessly Elliot. I’m the only one who ever worked with my chainmail in a state where it was anything resembling the suit of armor I was making for myself. That means if I cut myself or was sweating while working on it or even caught my hair in it I was as much a part of it as the alloys of the links. So that means this Foreigner was already attuned to me a long time ago. I don’t understand these shadows though but that shouldn’t matter. This Foreigner probably thinks I’m weak and easy prey and I’m just going to have to prove it wrong.”
“Can you really do that Link?”
“Just watch me Melody. Elliot, give me some space.”
Elliot looked at Link with concern but she offered him a confident smile. Elliot wanted to believe in her and smiled in return but it was a difficult thing to. He had but a few moments earlier watched her fail to even stay aware of her surrounding when interacting with the Foreigner that infected her. However, he was also aware that no matter what she was going to have to face it one way or the other and resigned himself to that fate with a nod.
Releasing Elliot’s hand, Link let him back away and then turned her attention to her feet. The darkness of the shadows almost stripped her bare feet of any discernible depth and it was unnerving to look at them. It was hard to steel herself for what was about to assault her senses looking at them but she had no intention of failing to do so. With a deep breath Link tried to wiggle her toes.
Both Elliot and Melody shouted in terror as Link suddenly screamed and scared the birds from their surroundings. She convulsed and arched her back in unnatural contortions, her eyes widening violently as her pupils dilated and her mouth twisted into a howl of indescribable suffering. The sight was more than enough to prompt Elliot and Melody to begin hurrying to her side but Link surprised them again.
Her voice was strained as she ordered them to stay back, but it was unquestionably her voice. Rolling over and bracing herself against her forearms as she clenched her fists and sweated profusely Link gritted her teeth and nigh screamed again as she gasped for air. Clenching her teeth she declared her refusal to give in.
“This is my fight and this thing only knows scraps of me from a long time ago‼ I’m not going to lose. I’m not going to lose to this thing‼”
With another scream she arched her back in defiance before convulsing uncontrollably. Despite her body’s loss of control she still managed to cup a hand to her mouth before she vomited violently coughing up blood as she did and collapsing into a writhing mess as her body discharged the contents of her bladder and bowels just as violently.
Watching Link convulse and soil herself so violently as her eyes watered and bulged to the point that they looked like they were going to burst terrified Elliot and Melody to the point that they could not move at all. Eventually Link’s convulsions came to an end and her expression softened to the point of total exhaustion. After a moment she started sobbing softly.
Taking a tentative step towards the broken girl on the ground before him Elliot called out gently to her. A wave of relief washed over him and Melody both as she replied even if she was obviously crying.
“I didn’t win… *hic* …but I didn’t lose either… I didn’t lose… *hic*”
“It’s alright Link.”
Kneeling down next to her Elliot brushed Link’s hair out of her face and cradled her flushed cheek. He offered her a smile and she looked back up at him with teary eyes that were full with as much embarrassment and shame at the mess she had made of herself as they were with pain.
“Like you said; you didn’t lose. That means you can try again after a short rest, and once you’ve won you can clean yourself up and Melody and I will put together as good of a feast for you as we can under these circumstances. Isn’t that right Melody?”
“Right! ~♪ I’ll even go hunt down some nice meat right now! ~♪”
Forcing herself to smile Melody turned to run off obviously bothered by the sight of Link so broken on the ground but froze. Turning around She looked down at Link with a desperate and pleading expression.
“And Link, you better still be here when I get back… okay?”
Managing a smile Link did her best to reassure Melody that she would be.
“… I didn’t lose Melody… and I’ll… …I’ll keep not losing until I win…”

If there has ever been a year for a staycation, this is the year.
Luckily for Sienna residents, it’s easy to staycay when there is so much to do in and around the community.
Whether it’s because temperatures are on the rise or you just need to relax, there are plenty of places to chill in Sienna. We have five pools, including several water parks that feature towering slides, zero-entry lagoons, water toys, tot slides and even a “Big Bucket” — the signature feature of the Club Sienna Water Park.
Parks, Parks and More Parks
Even our residents are surprised just how many parks there are in Sienna (more than 100 acres!). There’s a park for every activity — patches of fun for kiddos wanting to swing, climb and slide; outdoor fitness areas for those wanting to take strength training breaks on their job; and shady, peaceful respites for those wanting to relax and listen to the birds.
Pack a picnic and venture outside Sienna to Kitty Hollow Park located just beyond our main entrance. You’ll find it all in this expansive, 190-acre park — multiple playgrounds, covered tables with nearby grills, a fishing pier, splash pad, dog park, observation deck, softball field, courts for basketball and volleyball and a fitness station. A little further down the road is Brazos Bend State Park, known for opportunities to view wildlife — especially alligators. You can also hike, bike, fish, picnic, ride your horse (maybe kept at Sienna Stables) and camp overnight.
Swing a Club or Racquet
No need to head to a resort for access to a golf club or tennis court — we have them right here in the community. Sienna Golf Club is an 18-hole semi-private golf club that offers a driving range and acclaimed training academy. After the game, stop by The Sienna Grille for a celebratory cocktail and something tasty from its gourmet menu.
Tennis players enjoy Sienna’s eight lighted courts, where they can play with friends or in leagues. The clubhouse also offers a pro shop.
Explore and Discover
Sienna’s master design includes miles and miles of trails connecting neighborhoods, parks, playgrounds, pools, nature reserves and more. Look for bird life and butterflies. Tranquil lakes and gardens. Dense, leafy clusters of forest. Discovery expeditions are fun and easy in Sienna! Just walk out your front door and head off in any direction.
You’ll find dozens of restaurants in and around Sienna, serving up anything from burgers to pizza to sushi to fine wine. Hop on the Fort Bend Tollway, which intersects with Sienna Parkway and you can be dining in Rice Village (maybe Crab Cakes Eggs Benedict for brunch at Hungry’s or a scoop of brownie ice cream from the Chocolate Bar) or The Galleria (try Del Frisco’s for that special night out) in less than 30 minutes.
Fun and Games
Just like an activities director might organize fiestas, dance parties, pool games or more at a large resort, there’s an entire lifestyle team that keeps the fun rolling in Sienna all year long. Even with social distancing putting a temporary pause on large-scale events — such as the popular Truck ‘N Munch and Sizzlin’ Summer Concert Series — residents have enjoyed mobile block parties, bake-offs, a virtual pet show and other engaging activities.
Not a resident yet? Don’t let summer pass you by — check out our move-in ready homes and you’ll soon be making every day a vacation by making the move to Sienna.

When most people think about drug studies, they think of somebody who has an illness that is willing to take an experimental medication to try to get better when all else fails. What many people don’t consider is that drugs need to go through many phases before they can get to the point where they are prescribed as medication, even experimental medication. In order to test these drugs, the pharmaceutical companies need healthy people to determine what types of side effects the drug may have and to help this process go as quickly and smoothly as possible, they are willing to pay people to help make sure that these studies can find the right test subjects in a timely manner.
If you’re a healthy individual with a willingness to participate in some testing, it’s possible to earn quite a bit of money for helping to test new drugs. The compensation for testing drugs can range from a few hundred dollars to more than $5000 depending on the length and the type of drug being tested.
It’s also possible to make money by participating on Phase 2 and beyond studies. These drug studies will usually pay less money to participate in them than the Phase 1 drug studies, but they are much more plentiful and can be found in many more location across the US. These studies are usually looking for people who have a specific ailment and can often be found by looking for advertisements in your local paper.
While prescription drug trials are one of the most common ways to make money with medical testing, there are actually quite a large number of different types of medical trials where it’s possible to get paid to participate. Some of these other medical trials which offer the chance to make money include:
The above are just a few of the type of studies which people over the age of 18 can volunteer to participate in for the opportunity to earn a little bit of extra money. There are a wide variety of medical institutions which are constantly looking for healthy individuals who meet the study requirements and it’s possible for individuals to do a number of different studies each year.
There are some individuals who do medical testing full-time and can earn around $30,000 a year, although the vast majority of people do it on a part-time basis to earn a few extra dollars. Participants need to be in good health and there may be additional restrictions and requirements depending on the study. Both men and women are needed. Since there is no need for any training or a learning curve and there is no upfront costs to be eligible, this is something that anyone can do relatively easily. You can learn more and search for opportunities at paid to take drugs with the many institutions seeking participants.

Elaine Kimbrel lived with lower back pain for years.
“It's been a journey,” says the 59-year-old medical assistant, who in December 2012 slipped on a patch of ice on her exterior stairs, flipped in the air and landed on her back. "I thought I had broken my back because I hit so hard."
Instead, she dislocated three vertebrae, leading to years of pain that never completely resolved, even after they ultimately were manipulated back into place.
But then came a referral earlier this year to interventional pain management specialist Brian Goentzel, MD, with Ascension Medical Group Via Christi, which she says proved to be a "godsend."
After determining that Elaine was an appropriate candidate, Dr. Goentzel told her about a new minimally invasive outpatient procedure designed to provide durable relief to patients suffering from chronic vertebrogenic low back pain. In layman's terms, that's a long-standing and isolated dull pain not related to stenosis or arthritis.
The Intracept system provides an implant-free treatment option for patients who have suffered with low back pain for over a six-month period and failed traditional conservative therapy.
The two-hour outpatient procedure is performed under general anesthesia, primarily to ensure that the patient remains immobile and optimize targeting of the nerve. Under the guidance of a fluoroscope, a small cannula is advanced through the pedicle, the part of the back bone that connects with the vertebral body of the spine. The cannula is used to create a channel to the trunk of the basivertebral nerve.
The access site is so small that not even a single stitch is required. "It's a Bandaid-like procedure," says Dr. Goentzel, one of only two physicians west of the Kansas City area to offer the Medicare-approved procedure for those who meet the criteria.
"One of the key benefits of this system is that it preserves the structure of the spine," says Dr. Goentzel. "We do a thermal-ablation of the nerve, but it doesn't alter the structure of the bone.
"Within three months, you probably couldn't tell from looking at the site that it ever took place," he says.
Dr. Goentzel says that for years, treatment of chronic vertebrogenic low back pain focused on the disc. As more is learned, however, the focus has shifted to the nerve supply to the back bone rather than injury to the bone.
"We can't swap out the bone and scraping out the intervertebral disc and fusing the bones doesn't work," says Goenzel. "So the idea arose, 'What if we kill that nerve and don't allow the pain signal to travel to your brain?'"
For patients like Elaine, who had suffered an injury to her back bone but no intrinsic damage, the Intracept procedure creates a roadblock to the pain, not allowing it to get through to her brain.
"You have to make sure it is the right treatment for the right patient, but we think that it is a pretty significant population that is suffering with this issue," says Goenzel, who has now used the procedure to benefit 19 patients and has half as many others scheduled.
Elaine decided to give the procedure a try. In late February, she underwent the procedure and within several weeks she could feel the difference.
“As time goes on, it gets better and better,” she says. “It's like I never even had any back pain before."
To refer a patient for whom conservative therapy is no longer effective to Dr. Goentzel for a consultation, call 316-613-4670 or fax records to 316-613-4726.

Gardening through the year
Gardening jobs for July
Article 7 of 13
Gardening jobs for July
Our experts suggest cutting back early flowering perennials, harvesting veg and feeding the lawn in July.
In this article:
- Get a bumper vegetable harvest
- Veg jobs for July
- Feed your lawn
- Encourage late-summer flowers
- Keep your pond in top condition
Now's the time to reap of lot of what you've sown, but remember there's still time to plant extra crops. Keep an eye on the watering and your fingers crossed for sunny summer days.
- Catch veg while it's at its peak and harvest it regularly rather than leaving it to go woody or bitter-tasting. Remember that if you have more of something than you want to eat or store, it's just as useful to recycle it by adding it to the compost heap.
- Limit tomato growth by pinching out the growing tip of your cordon tomato plant when it reaches the roof of the greenhouse. Pinch out the side-shoots as they develop.
From radishes to runner beans, here's the best vegetables to sow outdoors in July.
For more information watch our video guide to veg jobs for July.
For many of us the lawn is the centrepiece to the garden that sets off everything else.
- As long as there is no drought, it's worth feeding the lawn regularly - try our Best Buy lawn feed.
- During dry weather, raise the blades on your lawn mower to allow the grass to grow a little bit longer. This will keep it greener and help it retain moisture.
- Don't panic if your grass does turn brown as it will soon green up again when the rain returns.
Now we're in July, the garden is just past its peak.
- Cut back early flowering perennials to the ground and they will send up fresh leaves and maybe even the bonus of some extra late-summer flowers.
- Give them a boost after pruning with a good soak of water and some tomato feed.
- Exploit plants' desperate need to set seed by removing blooms as they fade. This will encourage them to produce more flowers to replace them.
- Remember that plants in containers are dependent on you for their water as they'll get little benefit from any rain. Give them a good soak at least once a day in sunny weather.
Ponds and other water features also need some care in July and August to keep them healthy and looking good.
- Look out for any yellowing leaves If they are left on water lilies and other water plants, remove them promptly. Allowing them to fall off and rot in the water will decrease water quality.
- Remove blanket weed This will let oxygen into your pond. Use a net or rake and remember to give aquatic life a chance to get back to the water by piling the weed next to the pond for a day.
- Top up water levels. Water can evaporate rapidly from water features and ponds in the height of summer, so top them up if the water level drops significantly. Rainwater from a water butt is best – chemicals in tap water can affect the nutrient balance in the pond.
- Hosepipe ban. If your area is under a hosepipe ban, you can still use it to top up your pond if you have fish.
- Clear filters. Remember to clean any filters and pumps.

Please let me know how you go on. I'm also interested in the course - of course the personal benefits of increased study and practice will be great.
If you have a regular teacher perhaps mention to them that you're interested in teaching or perhaps book a few private lessons where they can look over your technique or provide feedback when you have a dummy run at teaching a class.
I think online classes are very good but you also need practical experience. I'd just like to mention I teach bellydance and there is no governing body for that. I still attend workshops and go to class with my teacher. I think looking to better our own practice and experiencing how others teach is a good way to go. As are forums like this which can provide many helpful suggestions and guidance.
Best of luck

Today the members of the European Muslim League express their shock and horror over the Easter Sunday massacre in Sri Lanka.
Once again worshippers have been targeted in their house of prayer. Last month it was Muslims in mosques in New Zealand and today our Christian brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka who are the victims of one of the most depraved acts of terror experienced in recent times.
EML stands in solidarity with Christian communities around the world who, like us, are reeling from the news that more than 200 Christian worshippers and hotel guests on the island nation have become victims of terror. Our thoughts are with their families as well as with the survivors.
With the death toll of 207 expected to rise and more than 450 injured, it is now emerging that dozens of overseas visitors are among the casualties; people of faith and no faith caught up in a despicable act of terrorism.
Our message today is one of peace because by rejecting all violence and the hate that goes with it we want those responsible to know they will never win.
Our heartfelt prayers also go out to those in America, Denmark, China, Japan, Pakistan, Morocco, India and Bangladesh caught up in this despicable act while visiting Sri Lanka and to their families and friends back home.

Dark Radish — Dark Radish
(Atypeek Music no#, 2017, DL)
by Jon Davis, Published 2018-03-27
This French trio fits in with a trend that seems to be bubbling up around the world (primarily Europe and North America) of music that blends jazz and rock in a way that’s different from the original jazz-rock fusion of the 70s. Many of these groups feature electric guitar as the lead instrument and upright bass instead of electric holding down the bottom end. Think of Raoul Bjorkenheim’s Ecstasy, Thumbscrew, 7C, and so on. This EP presents five tracks running about 23 minutes, and does a good job of presenting the case that they’re a band to watch. To my ears, they provide a great balance between grooving and floating free, between rock energy and jazz subtlety, between mangled distortion and natural sound. There are some tricky metric figures, but they’re not played with the kind of sterile precision that some fusion bands thrive on. This is partly due to the messy tone on Manuel Adnot’s guitar and partly to the way drummer Yann Joussein’s playing flows. Joachim Florent’s bass figures in as well, since the tone of an upright bass lacks the sharp attack that an electric bass can have. These compositions are imaginative and unpredictable, tossing in bluesy phrases between atonal bursts, starting and stopping, and courting dissonance in a fun way. “White Lily” provides several minutes of respite from the energy, with bowed bass, echoing clean guitar tones, and mallets on the drums. This is definitely a band worth checking out.

How to Make Wizard School-Style Floating Candles
I’ve always thought that candlelight is particularly magical. Even in the mundane world, where we have electric lights whenever we want them, we still choose to use candles to enchant our lives – to make a meal for two a romantic dinner, to turn our bathrooms into a relaxing spa, to make the telling of ghost stories really spooky...
Candles create a kind of liminal atmosphere, a flickering half-light in which all things are possible – the best kind of light for magic to work. Witchcraft, as far as I am concerned, should always be done by candlelight.
While I would prefer real candles when I’m doing candle magic, sometimes it isn’t safe to use them and if you are having a Halloween party where real flames could be a hazard, what better than to create some fake ones similar to those in the wizard school in the movies?
I learnt at the Warner Brothers Harry Potter studio tour that for the films, to create the illusion of floating candles, tubes were filled with spirit oil and wicks put on top, then these were suspended by wire. You can see a photo that I took of them at the top of this page and the description from the tour to the left.
Apparently these weren’t particularly safe either as they kept falling down, so later on they simply added the floating candles digitally.
However, here’s how to make some really safe Hogwarts style floating candles like the one you can see above right, which I photographed hanging in my witchy room from a stand holding an old hat.
You need the cardboard tubes, fake LED tea lights, cocktail sticks, flat cardboard, glue and paint. I used extra long cardboard tubes from inside rolls of paper used to go on top of therapy couches – kindly donated to me by a friend – but regular kitchen roll tubes are fine.
Cut out cardboard circles the same size as the end of your tubes then glue these to the bottom. At the top of the tubes, poke two cocktail sticks right through both sides of the cardboard at the level you want your LED tea lights to sit inside, so that the artificial flame just shows over the top.
Glue these in place on the inside, then trim them flat with the outside of the cardboard tube when the glue has dried.
Paint the outside of your imitation candle in whatever colour you like.
The ones in the movie are white, but you could also make some black ones for a Halloween party like the one in the photo below and to the right. When the overall coating of paint has dried, drizzle some thick paint down from the top to look like dripping candle wax.
Then loop thin string or cotton around the cocktail sticks to hang the candle up from and pop your LED tea light inside. I bought some clear cotton thread and found that was almost invisible, but a bit tricky to tie in place. (The photo to the left shows ones at the Warner Brothers tour, hanging from a gantry by wire.)
If you prefer to stand the cardboard tube candles up, like the one I photographed at the bottom or the black one to the left, then I recommend putting small pebbles or some dried rice or seeds inside the tubes to weight them down. I used pumpkin seeds - it seemed particularly seasonal.
If you want to find out more about real candle magic, I have written a book called Pagan Portals - Candle Magic, published by Moon Books. You can view Pagan Portals - Candle Magic on Amazon.

She would complain about it, in fact, wondering how other kids in Grade Nine could already know what they wanted to be and the career they wanted to pursue. The fact that they had a direction seemed to baffle her – right until she found her own.
She came to me and told me she has decided to be an engineer. I wasn’t surprised, as her father is an engineer, and she has inherited many of his talents. She is a good writer, too, better at 14 than I am now, and so I suppose there was some mild sadness that she would not choose a path I understood better, but I was, as always, completely supportive.I don’t get math, you see. I like biology, and chemistry, but pure math puzzles me, but not her. She has expressed interest in doing my taxes next year, and she talks about math being fun (whereas I think of math as some form of torture). The only thing that remained, she said, was what branch of engineering to pursue – and then she discovered engineering physics, a discipline that marries science and math, and her path was set.
And then the space talk began.She started following Chris Hadfield’s exploits in space while he was still there, and I got a daily update on what Canada’s most famous astronaut – perhaps most famous man – was up to on the International Space Station.
I should have seen it coming. After all, this was the kid who saw ice climbing in the Rockies when she was 5 and declared she was going to do it someday. She saw thrills and adventure while I saw small black human specks clinging to a wall and at risk of imminent death. She is the kid who, on the way home from her grandfather’s funeral, climbed to the top of the rock climbing wall at Galaxyland in the West Edmonton Mall, a tiny girl with long brunette hair in a red sweatshirt being cheered on by a crowd who had gathered to witness her determination in doing something she had never done before. It was, in fact, her very first time on a rock wall. She is the kid who wants to go sky diving for her 16th birthday, and who talks about it frequently.She is an adventurer, an explorer, a brave little soul wrapped up in a petite little frame. And, one day, she came to me and told me she was thinking that one day she would like to go to space.
She read Hadfield’s book, of course, taking it to school with her every day. Her copy of the book, a bit battered from rattling around in her backpack, is the one she took with her last night when she had the opportunity to meet her hero.Chris Hadfield – famous Canadian, astronaut, musician, fighter pilot and so much more – visited Fort McMurray as part of the NorthernInsights Speaker Series from the Fort McMurray Public Library. This series has brought some near-legendary speakers to the region, from Malcolm Gladwell to Martha Stewart. I have attended every single one, leaving each event both amazed and thoughtful as the speakers opened my eyes and my world to one beyond my own.
And last night Chris Hadfield took us to space.He is an incredibly gifted speaker, able to make you visualize being inside the space shuttle and about to launch. Through some short video clips, but mostly through his own storytelling abilities, he brought the experience of being an astronaut to life.
It was quite a trip to take in one hour, but we launched in the space shuttle, docked with the Space Station, spent some time hanging out taking photos of planet Earth far below, and then came back to earth (with a thud) on the Soyuz.And through it all my daughter – the Intrepid Junior Blogger – remained motionless and transfixed. She is often fidgety at these events, but not this time. Hadfield had her entranced, completely wrapped up in every word he said.
Last night my daughter, along with hundreds of other people in our community, went to space with Chris Hadfield. It was one of the most incredible things I have ever experienced, a crowd of hundreds so silent you could hear nothing but his voice and the occasional booming of rockets from brief video clips.I think a lot of people in that room suddenly wanted to be astronauts, or wished they had been. I suspect many of the children and young adults present suddenly had new or renewed astronaut dreams, realizing that their benchmark of opportunity, as Hadfield called it, included space. And for my daughter I believe it solidified her intent to pursue her own goals, whether or not she eventually circles the Earth from far above.
On the way home she had his book clutched to her chest because now it has been signed. She spoke of how she may not make it into the space program as an astronaut, but that a degree in engineering physics might well allow her to work on the space program developing technology so other people like Hadfield could go into space. It wasn’t all about being an astronaut, you see, although that would be great – it was about being part of something that matters.I listened in silence, glancing at her and smiling. My little girl, my Intrepid Junior Blogger, hasn’t given up on her space dreams, but they are changing and growing as she does. She is beginning to see the larger picture, the one that sees thousands of people who are needed to allow people like Hadfield to do what he does. Maybe they aren’t as famous, and maybe they won’t end up on the 5 dollar bill – but they are every bit as necessary to make it happen.
She hasn’t given up on being an astronaut. It seems we will be looking at flying lessons, and she plans to pursue the dream of going to space one day, floating far above the earth and gazing down. Her mother, who remembers space shuttles exploding and the dark days that followed, has some trepidation about it all but knows that she would be just as proud as she was on the day when a tiny girl scaled a massive rock wall and came down to applause.Last night my daughter went to space – and, thanks to the very kind people at the Fort McMurray Public Library, she had the opportunity to meet Chris Hadfield, and tell him of her space dreams. It was a stunning moment in her life, and I am so profoundly grateful to the FMPL staff and their Board of Directors for bringing to life a series that last night took an entire community to space and back.
More than that, though, I am grateful that the IJB had the opportunity to meet her hero – and to explore space, and her future.

Over Lockdown, we’ve been experimenting with working together over Zoom and using an artistic process that is new to us. Prompted by Juliet Prague, performer, director and coach, we have been trying out the Fluxus method, giving each other instruction sets to perform. As per the method, we don’t rehearse them in advance. Eventually we were performing our individual sets simultaneously on Zoom, with Juliet Prague as host, and recording them.
It’s a departure from our normal way of working, and so is the output!
After several weeks we’ve performed an ‘open house’ Fluxus improv in-between performances of Mountain High Valley Low in the Ramsgate Festival of Sound. Friends and strangers were invited to view the improv as it happened, rather than as an unedited film after the event:
The two instructions sets given to the performers a few hours before the filming were as follows:
Fluxus instruction set for Karen
Start on Leopold Street at top of the terrace on Royal Parade in Ramsgate harbour
Descend slope and list all the things we have lost
Cross the street and look at the harbour boats
Look up into sky
Cross your arms on your chest 3 times
Spin round and round.
Try and chase a bird
Walk along harbour front, talk about an object you’ve lost.
Go towards the Weatherspoons pub, then turn and go down to the sea.
Throw some stones into the sea.
Fluxus Instruction set for Paul
Start outside Cats in Crisis charity shop.
Go inside and explore the items for sale.
Pick up six items and whisper the word “please” to each one in turn.
Leave the shop without making a purchase.
Walk down towards Harbour Street.
Turn right down into Kings Street, and press your face against the butcher’s window. Admire the meat.
Go back to the crossroads describing the process you went through when you last donated an object to a charity shop.
Once you’re over the roundabout in the town centre,
walk down Harbour St, with your arm stretched in front of you.
Cross the road and make your way around the Wetherspoons pub, until you are on the beach.
Bury your object in the sand.
Here’s an excerpt from an early Fluxus experiment:
Here’s number 2, a different set of instructions :
Here’s number 3, again a different set of instructions. The instructions are below the video:
Karen Fluxus instructions WGO3
- (Start outside, by your front door )
- Walk along street to postbox .Hug post box twice.
- Tell us about the former appeal of becoming a Catholic while crossing road to canal entrance path/ramp
- On the path, stamp on the ground.
- Look at the sky.
- Pluck and examine a leaf.
- Close your eyes then slowly open them.
- (when repeating, walk back to postbox and start with that)
Paul Fluxus instructions WGO3
- Walk from outside of your house across the street towards the allotment/playground area in the estate opposite.
- Make the sign of the cross as soon as you’ve got to the other side of the road.
- As you walk, describe your most recent experience of vomiting.
- Stop walking before you get to the pavement at Southampton Way.
- Squat with one hand stretched in front of you, moving down on a silent count of 2, and up again on a silent count of 4. Repeat 3 more times.
- Find something interesting to explore on the ground.
- Chew an imaginary, invisible toffee.
- Make the sign of the cross.
- (If repeating the set, repeat moving back towards your house, stopping before you cross the street, and make the sign of the cross. Repeat two more times.)
And here’s number 4. See original instructions below:
WGO4 Karen instructions:
- Start at the front entrance of the Angel Building, opposite the Red Lion Pub.
- Hold your hands palm upwards, at arms’ length. Look at your left hand . Look at your right Hand
- Bring your hands together, cross your arms. Slowly Hug your self. Repeat this whole action twice.
- Describe the last time you broke something meaningful to you.
- Examine at the raised bush/flower bed in front of Angel Building.
- Close your eyes. Shake your head quickly.
- Walk to the bus stop. Read aloud the times of the buses.
- Run back to the front entrance of the Angel Building.
WGO4 Paul instructions:
- Start outside Camberwell Arts School, in the forecourt area, have a cup of takeaway coffee in your hand.
- Take off the coffee lid very carefully.
- Jog along the front of the building from left to right, trying not to spill the coffee.
- Stop and sip the coffee.
- Put the coffee lid back on.
- Listen to the glass walls of the building.
- Tell us about the last time you saw a painting that really moved you.
- Clap your hands at a bollard.
- (If starting again, this time jog from right to left across the front of the building).

I’ve been recording my workouts and have been getting better and lifting heavier EACH AND EVERY TIME!
It’s been great and I feel like I have more energy, I feel better about myself and, from an esthetic standpoint, I look a lot better and I’ve gained 3lbs.
The biggest surprise is that in 10 days, I’ve dropped an inch off my waist…without doing ANY cardio at all and not really watching what I eat.
My current muscle building program is based on Jason Ferruggia’s Muscle Gaining Secrets Program (with a few tweaks).
The major tweak that I made was to try to be even more efficient and to add a small metabolic element to my workout. Truthfully, I thought the grip-work aspect was boring and didn’t want to do wrist curls, so instead, I substituted heavy kettlebell swings.
The truth is, swings with a 72lb kettlebell is really tough on my grip AND it gives me the added metabolic effect that was probably responsible for me losing that inch of fat around my waist.
I finished each lower body workout (either a squat or a deadlift was the main movement) with 100KB swings. The goal was to do 100 in as little sets as possible. Once I reached the goal of doing 100 in a row without stopping, I upped the rep goal by 25.
Well guess what? In addition to working my grip (because it’s damn hard holding on to a 72lb KB when you’re swinging it 100 times), I was also out of breath and sweating like I had been running hills.
A double whammy. Fat loss & muscle building. Who said that it couldn’t be done simultaneously?
I love Jason’s approach to building muscle and his philosophy towards training is similar to mine – low volume, using only bang-for-your-buck exercises, break records, work hard, eat clean and get enough rest & recovery.
Plain. Simple. Uncomplicated.
In fact, the 2 Big Daddy Muscle Building Programs that I’ve written were based on those principles above. You can get those workouts HERE.
So I’ve got 3 more weeks on this muscle building quest. Hopefully by then this last hit of winter in Toronto would have cleared up and I can start taking my kettlebells & sled outside for some workouts!
Have a great day guys!

There are many pH probes commercially available to use in schools. See the School science suppliers for more information on suppliers of general science equipment, and also those that specialize in data loggers. Science ASSIST does not specifically recommend any one brand of data loggers. It does, however, provide the following information for consideration when selecting a pH probe for use with a data logger. It is also recommended that the references listed are consulted for more detailed information.
The pH of a solution is a measure of the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration of the solution. Solutions with a high concentration of H+ have a low pH (i.e., acidic) and solutions with a low concentration of H+ ions have a high pH (i.e., basic).
The pH probe measures the pH of a solution on a scale from 0 to 14, with 0 being the most acidic, 7 being neutral and 14 being the most basic. The probe consists of a pH electrode that requires special attention regarding its use and storage. Also, as pH is dependent upon the temperature, probes usually have an in-built temperature sensor. For those pH probes with a data logging capability, the measurements are continuously recorded and displayed by a connected computer, iPad, tablet or dedicated data logger. The selection of a pH probe will depend upon physical aspects of the probe as well as the specifications of the probe and the data logger that it will be connected to. Consideration should also be given to the ongoing care and maintenance of the probe.
Science ASSIST recommends that, before purchasing a pH probe, the following physical aspects should be taken into consideration.
- Body Material: There are 2 common choices for body material: non-conductive glass and epoxy (polymer). Glass body probes are able to withstand higher temperatures, but epoxy body probes are more durable, generally costs less than glass probes, and are probably best for school student use.
- Types of electrodes: The electrodes in pH probes can either be gel-filled or refillable. Most schools use gel-filled Ag–AgCl combination pH electrodes because they require less maintenance and resist high pressure. However, these sealed pH electrodes have a limited life since the chemicals inside are used up and are not replaceable.
- The pH electrode bulb: The bulb end is usually glass and may have a conical or spherical shape. The cone-shaped bulb has a larger surface area, thereby providing a faster reading, and is easier to clean and maintain. It lasts longer and is often cheaper as well.
- Submersible or water resistant design: Submersible pH probes can be used in water-testing applications.
- Data loggers: These are electronic devices that receive process and store data from various sensors such as a pH probe. Probes have an important role in the data logger process as they generally send a signal to an interface, which is linked to a computer, tablet or stand-alone system. There are a range of data loggers available. Some are portable and can be taken into the field, whilst others are stationary in the lab and are connected via an interface to a computer. The pH probe is used in conjunction with a data logger and consideration should also be given to the type of data logger it will be connected to. The following factors should be considered.
- Ease of use: Ensure that the data logger is simple to use and assemble and does not require complex programming.
- Durability: Robust data loggers last longer.
- Battery life: Ensure that the data loggers have a long battery life
- Incompatibility between different manufacturers: Probes and data loggers are generally not interchangeable between manufacturers, although some brands may have conversion kits to enable the use of existing probeware. It is probably best for schools to select the same manufacturer for all their data logging requirements, from a cost as well as an operating point of view.
- Software compatibility: Software is usually Windows®- or Mac-based and should be able to perform quick and easy tasks such as configuring parameters and offloading data.
- Measurement Accuracy: Accuracy specifications may vary widely among different types of data loggers. Be sure to look for charts that indicate accuracy over an entire measurement range.
- Resolution: This is the number of increments of a value a data logger is capable of reporting. Consult an experienced data logger supplier who will be able to help you determine which product will best meet your needs.
- Portability: There are some portable stand-alone data loggers that can easily be used on field trips. Collected data can be easily offloaded to a computer via a USB interface.
Science ASSIST also recommends that pH probes with the following specifications should be considered:
- Range: 0 to 14 pH
- Accuracy: ± 0.1–0.2 pH units (after calibration)
- Resolution is a very important feature of pH probes and should be around 0.01 pH.
- Maximum Sample Rate: 50 Hz
- Operating Temperature Range: -4° C to 80° C
- Response time: 90% of final reading in 1 second
- Isopotential pH: pH 7 (point at which temperature has no effect)
Care and Maintenance of the pH probe
One of the most common reasons for a pH probe to not work properly is that it is not properly calibrated or because it is dirty, clogged or coated with sample. Regular cleaning and calibration of the probe will restore performance and prolong the useful life of the electrode. The probe should be stored in the recommended pH storage solution between measurements. The glass bulb can be cleaned by soaking it in warm deionised water. Read the manufacturer’s user manual for long-term storage and calibration.
Note: It should not be stored in distilled or deionised water and should not be allowed to dry out. Long-term exposure to pure water may damage the special glass membrane/bulb.
Probes should be rinsed after each reading and between samples with distilled or deionised water. To remove excess water, the end of the probe should be blotted gently with lint-free paper. The glass membrane of the probe should never be directly touched, as oils from the skin will damage the electrode.
Note: It is best to avoid the use of multiple probes in the same solution as they can electrically interfere with one another and result in erroneous readings. In addition, the probe should never be wiped, as wiping can create a static charge, which may also result in erroneous readings.

Earlier this week, the team attended the annual Arabian Travel Market (ATM) event in Dubai, where we met with partners and leading voices from the global travel industry. During ATM, we hosted an Insights Summit for the first time in the Middle East, with marketers from across the region joining us at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
Along with insights gleaned from our first party regional data, we presented findings from our Multi-National Travel Trends study, focusing on travelers from US, UK and Germany – the three top inbound markets to the GCC region according to Expedia first party data according to 2017 Expedia Group data.
The Insights Summit ended with a panel discussion around marketing, data and technology, with expert contributors from Accor Hotels, Emirates and our very own EMEA Director, Myriam Younes. The panellists covered a wide-range of topics including how to utilise customer data to improve marketing performance and the impact of emerging technologies in travel marketing.
During ATM, we also had the pleasure to recognize two of our partners with 2018 Expedia Group Media Solutions Partner Awards. Emirates was awarded Middle Eastern Campaign of the Year, while Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts won the EMEA Hotel Campaign of the Year award. You can read more about the winning campaigns below and to stay up to date on our latest news and research, subscribe to our blog via the form above. We hope to see you next year at ATM 2019!
2018 Middle Eastern Campaign of the Year: Emirates
In September 2017, Emirates was ready to announce it had launched the 100th A380 aircraft in its fleet, more A380s than any other global carrier. We worked with them to communicate this globally and celebrate this incredible feat (a world record) with incentive discounts for travellers. The campaign was designed to show the benefits of flying on an A380 in terms of space and standards of comfort to encourage travellers to choose Emirates. We used a wide range of marketing strategies, including display placements, social media and expandable video banners, to help spread this message while simultaneously boosting sales for Emirates. The campaign ran in 8 countries and involved translation into 5 languages, delivering mass exposure and impressive growth in demand.
2018 EMEA Hotel Campaign of the Year: Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts

Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Erin Judge brought a variety of fruits and vegetables to the set of Nashville’s NBC affiliate daytime talk show, Today in Nashville. That’s not a surprise. Judge always encourages people to make healthy food choices. The show’s hosts however were shocked that her colorful display represented just a day’s worth of fiber. This, she explained, is why many of us may need a fiber supplement.
Judge explained that soluble fiber acts as food for the organisms in our gut. This microbiome has a huge impact on our health, supporting our digestion as well as impacting our mental health, immunity and overall wellness. “Our bacteria have to be healthy to do their jobs, just like us,” explained Judge, which is why she suggests eating a variety of whole foods such as legumes, vegetables, nuts and seeds. And she advises limiting processed foods. “The problem with it is, it doesn’t have fiber, so we don’t have anything to feed our gut bacteria with,” she explained.
The Institute of Medicine recommends adults consume 25 to 38 grams of fiber each day which Judge visually demonstrated on the set. The amount of kale, broccoli, blueberries and beans shocked the hosts. You can consume this amount daily if you are intentional, she said, “but it’s not easy with our schedules and how busy we are.” She added, “That’s where a fiber supplement, a prebiotic supplement could come in handy.”
We’re thrilled that Judge is a fan of Regular Girl. Not only did she bring it to this TV interview, she included it in her blog’s list of top IBS-friendly brands. The prebiotic fiber in Regular Girl is specially prepared so it won’t cause the excess gas or bloating common with some other soluble fiber supplements. She wrote: “What I love about Regular Girl is that it’s so easy to incorporate into your day. Simply mix it up with a cold or room-temp liquid or smoothie and allow the soluble fiber to keep things moving along in the GI tract. They also have travel-size packets to make it easy for trips and when you’re on the go!”

Vice president Yemi Osinbajo
The Federal Government has stressed the need for mobilisation of domestic savings and foreign capital to finance the country’s needs in infrastructure, agriculture, housing SMEs and other services.
Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, stated this in a keynote address delivered at the 2019 FMDQ Nigerian Capital Markets Conference in Lagos, Thursday
Osinbajo, represented by Ms Mary Uduk, acting Director-General, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), said that the country needed to mobilise more funds to address its needs.
He said that Nigeria as a country requires more capital to grow, develop and attain its potentials.
“We need to mobilise domestic savings and capital as well as attract the necessary foreign capital to finance our needs in the areas of infrastructure, agriculture, mining, industry, housing, SMEs, information and communication technology, transportation and other services,” he said.
The vice president said that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari was doing everything possible to close the gap in infrastructure deficit.
He explained that this was being done through direct expenditure and also by incentives given to private investors, domestic and foreign, to invest in the critical sectors of the economy.
“The Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) (2017-2020) has a major objective of building a globally competitive economy through investment in infrastructure, improvement in business environment and promotion of digital-led growth.
“No doubt, this objective requires fresh and adequate capital. This approach to diversifying our sources of capital has assisted in making our country a destination of capital and further deepening our capital market.
“Private issuers are also encouraged to issue these instruments, leaning on the success recorded by the Federal Government. The secondary markets of some of these instruments are also getting more liquid as observed on the Exchanges,” Osinbajo added.
He said that government had increased allocation to capital projects in annual budget to boost infrastructure development.
“For instance, we have been allocating, on the average, close to 30 per cent of our expenditure to capital projects. We are proposing about 21 per cent of the N10.33 trillion of the 2020 budget as capital expenditure,” he stated.
Speaking on some of government’s plan for 2020, Osinbajo said that the gederal government would sustain growth and ensure creation of more jobs in 2020.
“However, we recognise that government alone cannot muster and deploy enough resources that are necessary for Nigeria’s development. This is due to competing and rising needs as well as challenges in revenue sources and collection,” he said.
Earlier, in her opening address, Uduk said that the Capital Market Master Plan (2015-2025) was launched to transform the Nigerian capital market to make it more competitive, while contributing its quota to developing the nation through funds mobilisation.
She said that the plan was hinged on four strategic themes, namely; Contribution to National Economy, Competitiveness, Market Structure and Regulation & Oversight.
Uduk said that SEC In partnership with the market had worked on initiatives that simplified the process of raising capital and reduced time to market in contributing to the national economy.
“The recent efforts towards developing the Nigerian commodities ecosystem and the Fintech space are also important contributions to the Nigerian economy.
“In order to enhance market competitiveness, the minimum capital requirements for capital market operators were raised, transaction costs have been reduced for both equities and fixed income segment of the market, a robust complaint management framework was introduced and various other initiatives are being implemented to enhance liquidity.
“Towards improving the market structure, minimum operating standards for all market operators have been implemented.
“Some of the ongoing initiatives such as the e-dividend, multiple subscription, direct cash settlement and electronic distribution of companies’ annual reports are geared towards achieving an innovative market structure,” she said.

They may be in the connection that is worst, they might hate their partner, but they can not be fucked doing anything about it, or they can't be fucked being unmarried, or maybe they can't be fucked looking for somebody. Since it is more easy, they would take and be done with it. This is currently coasting. I broke up with a long- white escorts backpage Greenbriar boyfriend, I have had experience with a coaster and he explained tome'I'm glad you did it, cos I would nothave'.

If he wants to walk off, that's fine, I am in Vegas! " He thought. His mind had been so absorbed screwing groupie women for so long that he didn't have any idea how to treat a man or woman who he wanted in his entire life and by creating audio.

In the beginning, your prayers might come out somewhat like this: " Dear God, here is the backpage escorts couple Greenbriar VA I anticipate and this is your deadline. Now get to work. Amen.

Speed Dating Attempt to picture what used to occur prior from the days when folks required to rely on upon the old framework that is fantastic.

Final Thoughts on Dating a Man With Bad Timing I have had friends who have gotten infatuated with guys they found in the time in their lives. I've seen girls hold out for, looks in dating apps about, and, Yes, online dating guys that were accessible for them for two or an hour. If the individual has it, they have it no time or distance can discontinue what the future might hold. You might discover love, you might get a friend, or maybe you find trouble in the future.
It was very backpage escorts that the conversation was going nowhere in a hurry and this man would continue to ramble on, so that is when my girlfriend interjected and educated me the lesson of all lessons.

It had been sort of fun to experiment with different shades of lipstick, eyeliner, shadow, base, and blush. But mascara has been a staple of mine.

Whip finally cracks on incompetent referees
Disciplinary proceedings have been instituted against match officials in last weekend’s contentious Kenyan Premier League (KPL) Top 8 clashes as the whip starts to crack on incompetent refereeing in domestic football following the recent uproar.
In a bid to redeem the tattered image of match officiating in domestic competitions, Football Kenya Federation (FKF) announced on Friday that its Referees’ Committee had suspended assistant John Olando for three weeks for suspect officiating in a game where holders Gor Mahia scraped through to the semis with a 1-0 victory over Ushuru FC last Saturday.
Further, KPL chief executive, Jack Oguda, told Citizen Digital the center referee in that game; Israel Mpaima is also under investigation after the match officials failed to spot four K’Ogalo players blatantly offside during the move that culminated with Rwandese international; Jacques Tuyisenge to bury a second half winner to lift the champions to the last four.
The goal stood despite fierce protests from Ushuru whose coach, Ken Kenyatta, initially thought of calling his men off the pitch before he changed his mind in face of the mindless travesty of justice.
The Committee also served center referee Antony Ogwayo with a warning letter for inconsistency in the application of the laws of the game in Ulinzi Stars quarterfinal against AFC Leopards.
FKF has further summoned center referee, Raymond Onyango, to explain his actions in yet another Top 8 match that saw Muhoroni Youth take on Sofapaka with the former winning 3-1 to make the semis.
Onyango has been summoned to appear before the next committee meeting before a decision is made since it found that Moses Arita warranted a red card for elbowing an opponent ,the striker has since been suspended for two matches .
Referee Peter Waweru’s failure to honour pre-match meetings as required by law also saw him issued with a warning with stern action likely to be taken against him for a repeat offence.
“The center referee and one assistant ref of the top 8 clash between Gor Mahia and Ushuru are the ones being investigated by the referees association, it’s good to be fair for both sides as we conduct the investigations because this referees are also human beings .
“We looked at the videos of the incident but at it stands the two officials will not take charge of any match in the league until a decision is reached,” Oguda told Citizen Digital.
The Top 8 refereeing mess is the latest in a string of complaints against match officials with some of their decisions accused of sparking incidents of hooliganism in the stands.
On April 16, the SportPesa Premier League clash between Gor and Tusker FC was held up for over 12 minutes when K’Ogalo fans protested the award of a penalty that led to chaos in the stands forcing police to lobby teargas to the charged supporters to quell riots.
The game ended 1-0 and after the match, an irate hooligan broke through security to assault assistant referee George Mwangi who awarded the penalty tucked in by Humphrey Mieno for the decider.
A week later, the league clash between arch rivals, AFC Leopards and Ulinzi aborted with 10 minutes to go when rowdy Ingwe supporters stormed the pitch and attacked match officials when the Soldiers were given a second penalty of the game with scores 1-1.
Both Gor and Leopards were charged for the fracas with KPL declaring the latter had lost the game 2-0.
“My team has been a victim of poor officiating in the league for some time I have complained to the authorities and I believe the issue is being handled in the right way.
“Every team in the Premier League needs to be treated the same. It’s a competition and everyone wants to win so we need to have a balanced playing field,” Ushuru boss, Kenyatta charged.
The league and Top 8 champions, K’Ogalo on their part deny they are given preferential treatment by referees intimidated by their vociferous supporters.
“It’s not about fan pressure. It is about incompetent officials that take charges in some matches. Gor is not favored by anyone. We work hard for our results and our fans have never put pressure on any official to favour our team.
“We have also been victims of poor decisions by our match officials like the Tusker game. KPL should punish the officials involved for it to be a lesson to the others not to compromise in future,’’ club secretary, Ronald Ngara.
Leopards co-chairman, Dan Mule echoed Ngara’s sentiments calling for the whip to crack on errant whistlers.
“Most of the fracas in the Premier League occurs because of poor officiating. It’s high time serious action is taken on match officials responsible for making bad decisions. If that is done, fans will be convinced the federation is serious with the fight against poor officiating,” Mule underscored.
In an effort aimed at improving checks and balances, the FKF Referees Committee has resolved to come up with a code of regulation to act as a guideline in dealing with poor officiating.
A score sheet to aid in evaluation of referees and Match Commissioner’s performances will also be introduced.
They also agreed that issuing of certificates to newly recruited referees should be centralized, with each referee required to pay Ksh1000 to the national office for the certificate and classification.

My car reeks of oil, and the low oil light is on. Now it is throwing off white smoke from under the hood on the passengers side when i put it in park. I popped the hood and i do believe that it is coming from engine… what should i do to make this car work right!?
Have you checked the oil for coolant contamination? If the oil looks like a chocolate milkshake, the steam is probably coming from a breached intake manifold gasket, and coolant has also leaked into the oil pan. Not good.
As Tester said, this is not good–and that is on several counts, potentially.
First of all–Is the “low oil” light a warning light that tells you about a low oil level, or does it indicate low oil pressure? (There is a difference.)
Secondly, if this is due to a breached intake manifold gasket or a breached head gasket, and if coolant has contaminated the motor oil for more than just a very brief period, then it is entirely possible for some severe damage to have been done to bearings and cylinder walls.
However, all of this is just speculation because we cannot examine the vehicle.
You can do as Tester suggests, and check the oil for the presence of coolant, but whether you find that or not, the car needs to be towed to a competent mechanic. Please note that this category does NOT include the likes of Midas, Meineke, Monro, Sears, Pep Boys, AAMCO, or other chain operations. Do NOT start the engine. Have it towed it to a well-reputed independent mechanic.
If you would like some further help from us (even though it will be speculative in nature), we need to know some additional info:
Maintenance history–at least over the past year or so
When was the last time, prior to the present situation, that you personally checked the levels of the motor oil and the coolant?

Hello again and welcome to the second part of my series on how to make Twitch-friendly mobile games. Click here to read my first post on whether or not you need to integrate a streaming SDK.
In this post, I'll talk about making your game technically easy for broadcasters to stream your game and how to enable compelling content.
While there shouldn’t be a need for a game developer to invest a lot of engineering work to make their mobile game ready to be shown on Twitch, technical decisions can dramatically affect how easy it is for a broadcaster to stream a game. And while Twitch streamers will often go a long way to accommodate content that they think is compelling, reducing the amount of friction needed to add your game can only increase its appeal.
Tip: DO make it technically easy for a broadcaster to stream your game – and for a fan to watch it!
As I mentioned earlier, streaming gameplay is simply one part of the entire experience that a streamer builds. But that doesn’t mean that the gameplay is not central to the stream – it should be – and you need to make it easy for a broadcaster to show your game.
What are the common ways for mobile games to be streamed?
- Emulators: An Android emulator is an easy, no-extra-hardware-required way for broadcasters to include a mobile game into their stream. There are now quite a few emulators available for PCs, but the nature of emulators is that they don’t always act exactly like a phone or a tablet. In my experience, there are a surprising number of mobile games that aren’t emulator-compatible, often because of differences with how the emulators handle file storage. To be as Twitch-friendly as possible, you should test your game on the most common emulators just as you do the most common mobile devices.
- Screen capture software: In this method, users use software on their mobile device to stream to their streaming machine. The advantage is that this doesn’t require any additional hardware, other than a mobile device, and the game is running natively. The downside is that the screen capture and streaming software require a good chunk of processor speed, which can impact the performance of the game.
- “Spectator mode:" Another way that streamers can get mobile gameplay into their stream is by using Spectator Mode on another device. This approach is more common for productions displaying other people’s displays (such as with eSports broadcasts), but can also be a method for individual streamers.
- Screen capturing hardware: Probably the best option for the Twitch streamer, this simply shows what is displayed on the mobile device. The game can run natively, there is no impact on the performance of the game, and there are no compatibility issues on the streamer’s machine.
Certain technical design decisions can also impact how appealing a mobile game is for a broadcaster:
- Orientation: Landscape mode matches the orientation of a Twitch broadcast, while portrait orientation requires an overlay to make different use of the screen.
- Legible graphics: Large, distinctive graphic design makes your gameplay easier to see on a small screen (especially important if you need portrait orientation).
- No audio locks: Mobile game fans often watch Twitch on their mobile device, and they often will listen to a stream in the background while playing the game. A Twitch-friendly mobile game should allow for this use case by not requiring audio or letting other audio play in the background.
The overall strategy should be to understand what streamers need to do to build a real stream – beyond the simple broadcast of gameplay – and see how the game can enable their success.
Of course, technical issues are not the only concern (or even a prime concern!) for a content creator. Content creators are in the business of telling a story and putting on a show, and it’s much easier to do that if they’re highlighting something that is fun to watch.
Tip: DO enable compelling content
For a game to be appealing to Twitch streamers, it must be a game that allows for compelling, or at least interesting, content for a stream. While it’s impossible to define exactly what defines “interesting content” on Twitch (and one of the great parts of Twitch is that there’s something for almost everyone), the mobile games that are popular on Twitch share some similar traits. Here are some of my tips:
- Play well with others. Twitch streams thrive on interactivity, and features that help streamers play with their viewers, like PvP or co-op modes, enable them to interact with their community.
- Skill matters: Games that let broadcasters show off their abilities are always popular on Twitch. From speed-running console games to showing off in hardcore “high skill cap” PC games, broadcasters love showing off how good they are. Is there a mode or a design in your game that lets streamers showcase their skill?
- Be global: The audience for game content is incredibly global, and the game should match that availability. Streamers won’t want to show a game if it’s not available in large sections of the world that are important to their audience.
- People love surprises: Don’t underestimate the appeal of opening a surprise gift! While people may debate what place random boxes, crates, or other “GACHA” mechanics should have in video games, the fact of the matter is that people love watching these random loot items being opened… ESPECIALLY if the audience didn’t have to pay for it!
Content creators are very busy, and as a game developer, you already know that creating something for other people is not easy. Making it easier to use your game and making sure that there are elements that “show well” only increases the chances that your game will become something that other people will want to show off.
In part three of this series, I will discuss ways that you can engage and promote your content creating community.

Sunday July 20th Have been to church all day Mr Whitwell
preached felt very sleepy and heard but a
little of the sermon After meeting went over
to the Methodist meetinghouse to a sing. There are
some fine singers there. Oakes A & Orinthia called
for Louisa Swan and brought her to the sing & Orinthia
went back to Mr. Howards
The Ames family was Unitarian. Three generations of them, from Old Oliver to little Susie, dutifully attended church almost every Sunday, just as Evelina did today. Their attachment to the Unitarian service, however, didn’t preclude tolerance of other Protestant congregations in town. The Ameses and others were generally friendly with the Methodists who, like the Unitarians, had broken with the “dark and hopeless Calvinism”* that once prevailed in the meeting houses of New England.
The Methodists had a long history in Easton, the first near-one-hundred years of which were recounted in chatty detail by Unitarian minister and town historian, William Chaffin, in his 1886 History of Easton.* As the Methodists, founded by Wesley brothers John and Charles, gained adherents in the late 18th and early 19th century, the sect took hold in Easton, too, shortly after the demise of the local Baptist Society. In addition to their welcoming services and missionary zeal, Methodists offered something special to congregations everywhere: Music.
The “sing” that Evelina went to today at the Methodist meeting house was a gathering to sing hymns, many of which were written by the Wesley brothers themselves. Also in attendance was at least one Ames son, and probably the other two as well. The boys enjoyed the sings, both for the music and for the chance to socialize with other young people. Oliver (3), who was very musical, was particularly fond of the gatherings.
* William Chaffin, History of Easton, 1886.

I would like to copy text from one word to another word document and keep the format (tables, colors,…)
For the moment I am using “send hotkey : ctrl + a” and then the activity “copy selected text”.
I store the result in a variable and then use “append text” in another word document.
But the copied text in the destination file lost his formatting.
Is there a way to keep the formatting?

It’s pretty clear why the NBA on TNT show has so many emmy awards. This show is pure comedy. Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal trying to do the beer basketball challenge is a perfect example of why.
On Friday night after the games were over and the analysis was done, Shaq and Barkley decided to try and do the viral TikTok challenge where you take a beer, put it on top of a basketball and bounce it.
If you do it perfectly, the beer bounces back up without spilling everywhere and you catch it and drink it. It you fail? You end up soaked in beer.
You can probably guess where it goes from here. Barkley and Shaq both failed, but Barkley got it the worst. The can nails him in the stomach and beer splashed all over his suit. HILARIOUS.
PURE. COMEDY. You could watch this on a loop for hours and laugh every time.
In Barkley’s defense, this isn’t really the easiest challenge to do. Especially when you’re doing it with a can instead of a bottle. Even Shaq’s can spilled a ton.
Still, it’s absolutely hilarious. This is the best basketball postgame show out there and it has absolutely nothing to do with the analysis and everything to do with, well, this.
More of this. Please.

The primary goal of blockchain technology is to create a reliable and secure digital money system. Before Bitcoin was invented, attempts to design a similar system had already been made, but they were all faced with the problem that transactions could be copied.
51% attack is a hackers’ assault on the blockchain network, where one person or a group of miners, for example, one mining pool can control much of the hashing speed. It can lead to disruption of the network processes as the attacker will have enough hashing power to exclude or change a specific transaction or the order of transactions. Attackers can undo the transactions they have made, which leads to the problem of double-spending.
Cryptocurrencies are using the idea of distributed ledgers to make the system reliable and to prevent the central authority from controlling the network. A 51% attack is the ability of someone who controls most of the network’s hashing speed to edit the transaction history and prevent validation of new transactions. As a result of such an attack, the idea of a decentralized network would collapse. Miners would be able to confirm forged blocks containing fraudulent transactions, leading to unimaginable losses of funds. Such a situation is dangerous for miners and ordinary users – they can lose their money.
What are the benefits of owning 51%?
The attackers do not allow other miners (validators) to find new blocks. It is so-called selfish mining;
It gives them the opportunity of double-spending;
They can fork the main blockchain, i.e, break the network into two competing chains;
They do not allow the confirmation of transactions or blocks.
The hackers will collect all rewards and fees, during the attack
When the hackers control significantly more than 51% of the network, the attack becomes more serious. They can steal from any smart-contracts and channels, such as Lightning Network; reduce and manipulate mining complexity; steal coins that are not dated by the genesis block (by rolling back the old blocks and retaking the rewards for it); delete smart-contracts or transaction history (by rolling back old blocks and editing the list of included transactions).
At the same time, an attack of 51% on its own does not allow attackers to:
Get your private key or fake a signature;
Get the coins received as a result of the smart-contract malfunctioning;
Send, freeze or burn your coins in staking instead of you;
Manage the decisions of complete nodes (validators).
What is selfish mining?
It is a strategy that allows miners to increase their income by hiding blocks from the public network. These miners do not send a block to the network after generation, but they continue to mine new blocks on top of found blocks. While honest miners are producing new blocks on top of older blocks, a selfish miner takes an advantage. Thus, there is a race between the public chain of honest miners and the private chain of selfish miners. Attackers must have enough computing power to make a private chain longer than a public one. As soon as the private blockchain becomes longer, the attackers send it to the network to collect rewards for all the blocks generated.
How does double-spending work?
Imagine that the offender has significant hashing power (51% or more) and he pays with a supplier for a product or service. The sender accepts a large number of cryptocurrencies, the transaction is almost complete, sent to the common blockchain, and after several confirmations, the parties say goodbye to each other.
Owning 51% of the hashing power and staying anonymous, the hacker “returns” the coins to himself, because after sending the funds, he rolls back the blockchain to an earlier state: He makes two transactions, first sends coins to the seller (the supplier), but a few moments later he sends the same sum of coins to the other address. If the provider has not waited for confirmation of the transaction on the network, the miner will verify and validate the second transaction, and the network will “exclude” the first transaction from the blockchain history and it remains unfulfilled. At first, the supplier can see the receipt of money in the wallet, but later, the transaction will be canceled as unconfirmed. Due to such schemes, coins are returned to the attacker’s wallet and can be spent twice or more. Theoretically, if a transaction has 1 or 2 confirmations, double-spend is excluded, but it’s better to wait for 6 or more confirmations on the network.
Cryptocurrencies based on PoS (Proof-of-Stake) consensus algorithm are unlikely to be attacked. In order to carry out a 51% attack, hackers need to buy a large number of coins – it is more expensive than taking control of hashing power on PoW (Proof-of-Work)-based currency.
This type of attack is being conducted on new cryptocurrencies since there is no need for high computing power. To execute a 51% attack on the Bitcoin or Ethereum blockchains, the attacker requires too many resources which renders such an attack unprofitable.
Hardfork after 51% attack.
With a 51% attack, the hacker can create a new cryptocurrency. The PoW consensus algorithm was designed to prove the integrity of the chain but does not protect against branching (forks). Suppose, that the attacker stealthily mines a few new blocks, and then “throw” them into the main network. If there is no community support, an honest minority of 49% will reject such a chain, but the blocks founded by the attacker will allow them to separate from the network and continue to mine their own chain.
51% cryptocurrency attack examples
The hackers attacked the DAO platform that was operating on the Ethereum smart-contracts. They withdrew $50 million in ETH equivalent from the platform accounts and one month later, the Ethereum network was rolled back to the “before hacking” stage. A big part of the crypto community refused to accept an update and continued to work in the old chain now known as the Ethereum Classic.
The Ghash.io mining pool had more than 50 percent of Bitcoin’s processing power in 2014. The pool then voluntarily reduced its share of the network.
A group of 51 crew hackers hacked the Krypton and Shift blockchain projects in 2016.
A group of hackers gained control of 51% of the Bitcoin Gold network, allowing them to steal $18 million in cryptocurrency from Bittrex, Binance, Bithumb, and Bitfinex in May 2018.
Monacoin, Zencash, Verge, and Litecoin Cash were hacked, which resulted in millions of losses in June 2018.
As a result of a 51% attack on Aurum Coin, more than $500,000 was stolen from the Cryptopia Exchange in November 2018.
Two large mining pools carried out a 51% attack on the Bitcoin Cash network In May 2019.

Do Catholics pray to Jesus?
A number of prayers to Jesus Christ exist within the Roman Catholic tradition.
These prayers have diverse origins and forms.
They are therefore grouped separately from the prayers that accompany Roman Catholic devotions to Christ such as Holy Face of Jesus or Divine Mercy..
How many times a day do Jews pray?
Jews are supposed to pray three times a day; morning, afternoon, and evening. The Jewish prayer book (it’s called a siddur) has special services set down for this. Praying regularly enables a person to get better at building their relationship with God. After all, most things get better with practice.
What religion prays to the east?
Mizrah (Hebrew: מִזְרָח, Modern: mizrāḥ, Tiberian: mizrɔħ, east) is the Hebrew word for “east” and the direction that Jews in the Diaspora west of Israel face during prayer.
Does God hear our thoughts?
God speaks through thoughts and feelings No, but he will help you “hear” him through thoughts and feelings.
When reading the Bible where do you start?
For first time readers of the Bible I would recommend starting with the Luke, then Acts, Genesis, Exodus, John, Page 3 begin Psalms (a few each time you read several chapters in another book) and Proverbs (one chapter each time you read several chapters in another book); Deuteronomy, Romans, (After reading the above, a …
Does God still speak to us today?
The Written Word: The logos (the Bible) is a main way God speaks today but it is not the only way. The logos is God’s general Word for everyone. God speaks to us when we read the Bible on nearly every issue that applies to modern living.
What direction are you supposed to pray?
A Qibla compass or qiblah compass (sometimes also called qibla/qiblah indicator) is a modified compass used by Muslims to indicate the direction to face to perform prayers. In Islam, this direction is called qibla, and points towards the city of Makkah and specifically to the Ka’abah.
How are you supposed to pray to God?
God wants to hear directly from you. Tell him what is on your heart. You can just talk to God as you would speak to a best friend. The whole Bible is filled with encouragement to pray: “Pray when you are sick.” “Pray when you need help.” “Pray for peace.” “Pray to confess your sins.” Why are we told to pray so much?
Is there a wrong way to pray to God?
There is no wrong way to pray. People need verification that what they are doing is OK. Children all have there own way of speaking to their parents. Our conversation with God is our conversation.
Why do people pray facing the East?
Syriac and Arabic Christian apologetics of the 7th century explained that Christians prayed facing east because “the Garden of Eden was planted in the east (Genesis 2:8) and that at the end of time, at the second coming, the Messiah would approach Jerusalem from the east.” Saint John of Damascus taught that believers …
How does Jesus say we should pray?
When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” He said to them, “When you pray, say: “`Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
What are the 4 types of prayer?
Forms of prayer. The tradition of the Catholic Church highlights four basic elements of Christian prayer: (1) Prayer of Adoration/Blessing, (2) Prayer of Contrition/Repentance, (3) Prayer of Thanksgiving/Gratitude, and (4) Prayer of Supplication/Petition/Intercession.

Amanda writes: One way that LifeWays is unique is because it has mixed-age groups of children. Many times people have asked me if it is harder to have a variety of different ages in my care, but I always tell them it’s actually easier. Having a mixed-age group allows the children to be in the same suite, with the same children and with the same caregivers, from the time they start to when they go off to “big kid school.” This allows the children to form strong relationships with both the other children and their caregivers.
The older children love to be the “big sister” or the “big brother” in the suite by helping out the younger children. For example, Alika loves to help out with the babies. She is always updating me on what the babies are doing: “Miss Amanda, Henri found his thumb” or “Miss Amanda, Simon is making smiles at me.” Augie loves to help his friends find their slippers and shoes. Eli always makes sure that Simon has a bib and a fork.
The little children grow up surrounded by the older kids who are always helping them out when they can. As the younger ones become the bigger ones they are just as eager to help out with the new little ones that enter their suite. You can tell how much these children enjoy one another: Ivy only comes in for half days now, and every morning the children from her suite are asking, “When will Ivy get here?” The children always give her a nice big greeting when she arrives.
LifeWays families are unique in the way that they and their children get to form strong relationships with the other children, other families, and their caregivers.
Amanda Quesnell has been a caregiver at LifeWays Early Childhood Center in Milwaukee since 2011.

There is a range of foods that nourish the memory. In this article, in a magazine, we offer you the best 4 foods to strengthen memory. This recipe is called superfood on foods that contain nutrients that are very important for some body functions, especially those found to be eaten to protect against serious diseases such as cancer or Alzheimer’s. The deterioration of memory in aging is one of the most serious health threats to human beings today, especially as the average age increases.Blue Berry Picture
Best 4 Foods to Strengthen Memory
Here’s a range of foods that reduce memory degradation and protect against dementia and Alzheimer’s:
- Of foods found to enhance memory and improve learning capacity in adulthood, according to a study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s.
- Salmon is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, a food that keeps the brain active and aging.
- Blue berries food is very important because the oxidation it contains cleans the body from the exhaust of biological processes which is scientifically called “free radicals”.
- Lentil food slows the shrinkage of brain cells in aging, according to a study published by the Journal of Alzheimer’s.

Manipur Art and Culture Minister L Jayantakumar Singh announced that the memorial site of King Kangba at Kangmong will be developed as a state heritage site.
A ministerial team paid an inspection visit at Kangmong of Nambol under Konthoujam constituency of Imphal West where the last rite of King Kangba is believed to have been performed, according to an official press release.
Speaking to the media, Jayantakumar said the State Government will soon develop the memorial site to a heritage site of the state and promote it as a tourist destination.
“King Kangba is very popular to us for his contributions to the state of Kangleipak during his kingship. He introduced the game of polo which is now being played in many countries as a popular game. Kangmong is also a place where the first polo (Sagol Kangjei) is believed to have been played during his reign of 1405-1359 BC,” the Minister said.
Jayantakumar also said that Kangdrum, Kangjei, Kanghu, Kangpot, Kang, and others are also considered to have been derived from his name.

The day started early. In the morning, the Bugatti 110 years convoy went to the military air base 701, training center for the Patrouille de France. The participants were welcomed with a breakfast and had the opportunity to meet the pilots after witnessing one of their impressive training sessions. Airfields are no uncharted territory for Bugatti. In fact, Ettore conceptualized several airplanes, the Bugatti 100P in 1938 amongst others, which was meant to become the fastest plane in the world.
After a dynamic visit of the Patrouille de France hangars, the Bugatti cars went back on the road, going through Salon-de-Provence before arriving in the Rhône region and having lunch at the Château la Gallée. It was a typical menu from Provence with a unique view on the vineyards.
The following stage took place on the roads of the Côte d’Or region in Bourgogne before arriving in Beaune. Dinner was served in the famous Hospices of Beaune, known for its typical burgundy architecture and its exceptional wines, amongst the best of the region. Ettore would have loved to drive through Provence and Bourgogne since he knew how to appreciate all the products that a cultural region could offer. And in the same way, the participants were able to taste variety of food and wines from Provence and Bourgogne.

Coert Bosker, PDS
Earlier Techdays show that Microsoft is reinventing itself as no other company has done before. The TechDays offer a wide variety of lectures and networking possibilities for developers and sysadmins at a more then reasonable price. What to think of a lecture on Stuxnet that I witnessed last year and pleased many by recording that session on video for the youtube/OpenMarketingTV. Have a look yourself.
As the world turns
As the world turns Microsoft has adopted open source technogies wholeheartedly. At the Hadoop Summit 2014 Microsoft showed their effort in this field where developers can ,,best of breed´´architectures with Microsoft SQL Server and Hadoop. Hadoop was ported to Windows by HortonWorks that supports this distribution in a truly open source way. Deveolpers can have access to the code and distribution while Enterprises can be assured of a truly Enterprise ready SLA. Further expect to be updated at the Techdays on big data, the latest of HTML techniques and many more interesting subjects.

For most people, uncertainty holds a negative connotation. It can make us look unprepared, unintelligent, and amateurish. And yet, according to Estelle Frankel, the author of The Wisdom Of Not Knowing: Discovering A Life Of Wonder By Embracing Uncertainty, uncertainty doesn’t just lie at the seat of our faith, it holds space in everything we do — from how we learn to how we love.
Frankel, a licensed marriage and family therapist, pastor and spiritual guide draws on insights from poetry, Tantric wisdom, psychoanalytic theory, Buddhism and ancient myth to demonstrate that through embracing uncertainty — as opposed to avoiding it — our lives become richer, often in ways we might not have predicted.
Frankel quotes the philosopher Martin Buber:
“All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.”
According to Frankel, entering this unknown is where transformation happens.
She offers the story of Joan, a psychotherapy client who had been feeling stuck in life despite being gainfully employed and happily married. By listening to her inner voice, Joan was able to connect with her past love of singing and began to blossom, eventually singing publicly several times a month.
Stories like Joan’s involve a venturing into the unknown – one that Frankel states is aided by the use of imagination.
“When we use our imagination in the service of our faith in the unknown, our lives and our consciousness expand,” writes Frankel.
One helpful exercise from the book, which is called, “Get Out Of The Box,” asks readers to imagine all of their unfulfilled dreams – the things they have dreamed of doing but have been afraid to pursue – and then list concrete steps that can be taken toward those dreams.
An important part of learning to tolerate uncertainty, Frankel says, is reclaiming curiosity and cultivating a “beginner’s mind.” When we are endlessly curious and unafraid to reveal our ignorance, just as children often are, we come to see the world as full of possibilities and miraculous things.
One way we can do this is by asking questions.
“It isn’t just a matter of learning more (Torah), but rather, a way of learning that is transformative, where the nigleh, or ‘known dimension’ of Torah opens up a window to the nistar, or ‘hidden dimension,'” writes Frankel.
It is in this balance between what we know and what we don’t know that we also encounter a powerful paradox: That it is only when we confront our very human impulse to seek security by clinging to the known and the certain that we can truly set ourselves free.
Frankel offers the example of Serena, who engaged in constant power struggles with her husband, and then again after divorce with her new boyfriend. Finally, she realized that it was her need to maintain control that prevented her from letting go enough to truly love.
And yet love, Frankel tells us, is balanced by two opposing energies – to both feel secure, and to experience novelty and surprise.
“In a sense we are walking contradictions. At the same time that we yearn for emotional intimacy and closeness, we also need space in order to fulfill our erotic desires,” she writes.
A helpful start to finding this balance is through letting go of the judgements and assumptions we make about others, instead honoring the unknown mystery that lies within them by allowing it to unfold as we come to know them.
While it is a powerful catalyst for learning and love, perhaps uncertainty’s greatest power is in how it helps us connect with our intuition.
Intuition – which Frankel describes as a “direct and holistic way of knowing that bypasses ordinary thought” – happens when we suspend rational thought, analysis, and even reasoning. Instead, we often have no idea how we came to know what we know.
To help connect with our intuition, Frankel offers the advice of psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion:
“When you have a particularly dark spot, turn onto it a shaft of piercing darkness. Rid yourself of your analytic theories. Rid yourself of what you picked up about the patient; get rid of it. But bring onto this dark spot a shaft of piercing darkness.”
The courage it takes to suspend ourselves in uncertainty – even to bring a shaft of piercing darkness upon it – Frankel tells us, is rooted in daily practice.
“Courage is a muscle we build through all the small daily risks we take when we speak our truth, take an unpopular moral position, stand up to injustice, or face difficult emotions,” she writes.
Telling the story of Dr. Laura Stachel – an OB-GYN who was forced to give up her work delivering babies due to a degenerative condition that affected her mobility, and later founded a nonprofit organization called We Care Solar which became her passion – Frankel offers Stachel’s sage advice:
“Don’t underestimate yourself, don’t let anxiety stop you, be open to an unpredictable future, be willing to be a consummate learner, and be persistent.”
Uncertainty, while typically a stopping point, can also be an open door, a door through which our deepest transformations can occur; from fear to courage, from mistrust to love, and from worry to freedom. With powerful stories, rich philosophical insight, and timeless wisdom, The Wisdom of Not Knowing shows us how to step through that door.

Market segmentation: venezuelan adrs
MetadataShow full item record
The control on foreign exchange imposed by Venezuela in 2003 constitute a natural experiment that allows researchers to observe the effects of exchange controls on stock market segmentation. This paper provides empirical evidence that although the Venezuelan capital market as a whole was highly segmented before the controls were imposed, the shares in the firm CANTV were, through their American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), partially integrated with the global market. Following the imposition of the exchange controls this integration was lost. Research also documents the spectacular and apparently contradictory rise experienced by the Caracas Stock Exchange during the serious economic crisis of 2003. It is argued that, as it happened in Argentina in 2002, the rise in share prices occurred because the depreciation of the Bolívar in the parallel currency market increased the local price of the stocks that had associated ADRs, which were negotiated in dollars.

On June 22, 2016, Edgile announced a new Managed Security Services practice, which now allows customers to engage Edgile’s expert staff to manage a portion or all of their day-to-day security, risk or identity management operations at a significantly reduced and more predictable cost than managing it in-house. Announcement below:
EDGILE ANNOUNCES NEW MANAGED SECURITY SERVICES ALLOWING
COMPANIES TO GAIN EFFICIENCIES IN COST, EXPERTISE AND STAFFING
Edgile Hires Mike Peckenschneider to Lead National Practice
AUSTIN, Texas, Jun. 22, 2016 – Edgile, a leading security and risk consulting services firm, today announced that it has hired industry veteran Mike Peckenschneider to head the company’s new Managed Security Services practice. Customers can now engage Edgile’s expert staff to manage a portion or all of their day-to-day security, risk or identity management operations at a significantly reduced and more predictable cost than managing it in-house. With limited resources and a scarcity of qualified skillsets to navigate an increasingly complex environment, customers can leverage Edgile’s knowledgeable professionals to help move their company forward, while simultaneously making their organization more secure.
According to CIO.com, more organizations are turning over certain IT functions to managed service providers, freeing internal IT staff to focus on strategic projects critical to their core business.
“For years, customers have been asking us to extend our strategic consulting engagements to run and manage their day-to-day operations once their IAM or GRC projects have been deployed,” said Don Elledge, CEO of Edgile. “With Edgile Managed Security Services, customers no longer need to compete to hire the best security professionals in-house. Instead, we can continue as a trusted advisor, smoothly transitioning from design and deployment to day-to-day management.”
Mike Peckenschneider will be expanding the company’s service offering with the capability to seamlessly integrate with client teams onsite. He joins Edgile from SDG Corporation, where he was the Transformation Practice Leader. Prior to that, he led large internal technology organizations at both General Electric (GE) and Ceridian and has also held management consulting roles at Convergys and FIS.
“Mike combines entrepreneurial drive, consultative leadership style, and process excellence, with over 20 years of product and technology experience,” continued Elledge. “He is ideally suited to help grow our existing services portfolio and assist clients with their evolving security needs.”
Founded in 2001, Edgile provides strategic security and risk consulting services to Fortune 500 companies. Edgile’s stellar reputation is built on high quality services, leading-edge practices, and a focus on the most challenging security issues. Visit www.edgile.com

Hedge funder Roy Niederhoffer is looking to sell his Upper West Side mansion for $16 million, and he’s willing to accept cryptocurrency for the sale.
“I’m a big believer in Bitcoin,” Niederhoffer, president of R.G. Niederhoffer Capital Management, told Bloomberg. “I really am so bullish on it, and I want to own more of it.”
Niederhoffer listed his 10,720-square-foot home at 40 Riverside Drive with Sotheby’s International Realty’s Cathy Taub and Douglas Elliman Real Estate’s Dexter Guerrieri and Nicole Kats. The asking price is $15.9 million.
Niederhoffer purchased the home as three separate units for $12.9 million in 2013 as he and his family were starting a long-term construction project to renovate another house in Manhattan.
The home is unique in that it has exposure on three sides, allowing natural light to flood its interior spaces.
Niederhoffer will accept either cash or the equivalent in Bitcoin, and he said that if someone pays in cryptocurrency, he’ll cover the closing costs in hard currency.
“Whatever the obligations and brokers fees are, I would pay in cash and keep the Bitcoin,” he said.
A number of sellers and developers — like Ben Shaoul — are increasingly becoming more open to the idea of accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as payment for real estate deals. [Bloomberg] – Rich Bockmann

The Tab Playlist
The Tab brings you ten of the biggest tunes around.
An innovative, uplifting groove record thing from Kidnap Kid.
Comprehensively summarises a break-up. Dark. Brooding.
One that may have slipped you by when Eric released a ton of music last year. 80’s summer highway.
Like early Coldplay. In a good way. Kind of.
Robotaki hadn’t done anything before this and has done nothing since, but this is still laid back and golden.
Feel good philosophy.
This song came out and didn’t do anything. It sounds like it should have been on a Tropicana advert or had a Fatboy Slim remix. Anyway, you’re allowed to like it.
A tropical golden oldie to round us off.

(September 16th, 2014)-BRYAN: The Golden Bears put up a fight at first, but couldn’t maintain a high level of play as they hosted the Lady Indians of Wauseon. The traveling Indians were able to secure a road win in straight sets against fellow NWOAL member Bryan.
The first set was a tight contest. Wauseon won by the narrowest of margins, 26-24. The Lady Indians swarmed the Bryan girls in game 2. The Lady Golden Bears had no answer for Wauseon, and the Indians took a 25-9 victory to claim the match.

Time Snatchers by Richard Ungar, (2012, 321 pages) has an intriguing title, cover, and plot premise: the main characters travel back in time to steal valuable objects for their boss. It is written from the point of view of thirteen-year-old Caleb, professional thief.
A thrilling middle-grade sci-fi. Caleb’s blinders are off. The small group of orphans who were also “adopted” by Uncle used to feel like family, but the competition to be the top time snatcher and the punishment for failure has gotten fierce. Time traveling to steal valuable objects can be a thrill, but with bully Frank trying to steal his snatches, his partner Abbie falling for Frank’s slimy charms, and Uncle’s plans to kidnap innocent kids to grow his business, Caleb starts thinking about getting out. But Uncle’s reach extends to any country in any time period, and runaways get the harshest punishment of all.
Caleb can steal just about anything from the past, but can he steal a family for the future?
I found this book a little slow at the beginning. Caleb and his best friend Abbie take several trips into the past in episodes that feel somewhat disconnected. However, halfway into the book, I was hooked. I don’t want to give too much away, suffice to say the stakes get higher.
Unlike some time travel books in which the actual time travel process is not described in detail, in this book the mechanics of the time travel are front and center in the plot. Caleb and Abbie are from the future (2061). Their boss has perfected technology that enables his workers to travel to precisely the time and place desired. One just has to program the implant on one’s wrist. There are additional computers involved; I didn’t try to follow all the specifics. I appreciated the way the author worked out the time travel to make it sound plausible, although I can equally enjoy a time travel story that gives only the briefest mention to the physical process of time travel if it’s a captivating story.
There are some short scenes of maiming and what I would call torture. I can’t broadly recommend the book for this reason. For some older middle grade readers who may be jaded by hours of violent movies/books, these scenes would not pose a problem. Also, I and other potential readers may dislike the fact that the ethics of stealing are hardly touched on, if at all. Finally, it is believable that saving himself and a couple others from Uncle’s evil is the most Caleb can do, but I would have preferred Caleb at least mention that he wishes he could stop Uncle from harming so many others. Perhaps in a sequel?

Proverbs 10:28 – Verse of the Day 3/28/13
Most of Proverbs 10 expounds upon the benefits of wise speech and the costs of foolish speech. Verses 18-22 and 31-32 explain the differences between foolish and wise speech, while the verses they surround (including this verse) unpack the consequences of such speech. Therefore, the author emphasizes the fact that what we say has serious consequences, and we should be very attentive to our words. Righteous speech is powerful and provides joy, while wicked speech has similarly devastating effects.
While the Proverbs speak often of the power of human words, this discussion points us to the divine Word who took on human flesh, Jesus Christ. Our speech will always be colored by our sin, but the God’s word is perfect and eternal, and in fact it is the means of our salvation. Spend some time in prayer, reflecting on the fact that God himself became a human being; that Jesus the Word took on human flesh (John 1:1-14) in order to save you from all your sin, including wicked speech. As you reflect on that awesome reality, ask God to help you to speak wisely in a way that honors Him.

Vigil honors life of 4-year-old drowning victim
NEWARK – The family of Mariah Selby, 4, gathered at the Newark Country Club retention pond Monday evening to honor the life of the little girl who drowned there on Saturday.
"No family should have to go through this pain," said Michael Barnum, Mariah's grandfather who wore a white T-shirt with her photo. "And it is a tragedy that does not need to happen again. We lost our angel too soon."
More than 50 people gathered to honor Mariah and place stuffed animals, balloons, candles and flowers at a make shift memorial that they created at the edge of the retention pond.
"She was a funny little girl," said Victoria English, Mariah's great aunt. "That was my heart."
English said Mariah loved spending time with her grandmother, Betty, and playing with her cousins and friends.
"She was always happy, all the time," said Chanel Anderson.
Rev. John Nichols, Mariah's great great uncle, led the group in prayer at the vigil, hoping to preach words of hope to the grieving crowd.
"We come together as a family, as a unit, to show our love and support," Nichols said. "Hoping to see that little baby again one day on the other side."
Family members who gathered for a vigil said they were horrified that the fence and gate were not made more secure already.
"There are swings. This is where kids come to play," said Barnum, Selby's grandfather. "That is unacceptable."
Newark officials said on Monday they would look into improving safety in the area
"We need to – regardless to who owns the fence and regardless of what occurred – we need to make sure that that area is safe for children," said Mayor Polly Sierer. "It is our duty to make sure that area is safe."
Officials said Mariah wandered away from family during a graduation party at the city-owned George Wilson Community Center, 303 New London Road, and slipped into the pond.
Police and fire officials responded at about 6:45 p.m. Saturday. Once pulled from the pond, Mariah was given CPR until paramedics arrived and transported her to Christiana Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
"Something needs to be done," said Anderson, who was at the family party and jumped into the pond to try to help Mariah. "Someone needs to make sure it is closed and actually gated."
The center property, which has a playground, tennis courts and baseball field, backs up to a small gate at a break in the trees. On the other side of the gate is the retention pond where Mariah drowned.
On one side of the gate, which has affixed to it a "No trespassing" sign, there is a short metal fence that has been bent down to only about a foot off the ground. Past the gate is an incline to the retention pond, which is bordered by purple flowering plants and covered by a thin layer of algae.
Anderson said the gate was not closed on Saturday and that she did not see a sign warning them not to enter the country club property.
Sierer said police are continuing their investigation into the incident. Newark Police did not respond to requests for comment Monday.
The general manager for the Newark Country Club did not respond to several messages left seeking comment.
"It was absolutely a tragedy and my heart goes out to the family for their loss," said Councilman Luke Chapman, whose district encompasses the pond where the incident occurred.
In January 2001, an 8-year-old boy fell through the ice on the same pond while playing with his older sister and cousin. They had come to the community center to play but ventured toward the pond.
The boy was trapped in the icy water for about 45 minutes before he was rescued and suffered injuries from hypothermia and lack of oxygen, later dying from the injuries, according to information from a civil court ruling associated with the incident. The boy's family unsuccessfully sued the Country Club.

You may have dined at Cosi once, have been frequenting it, or have never tried it at all. It’s one of the coziest and best places to get a healthy sandwich and to go to for a date. If you are intrigued about the name and what it’s all about, here are 10 cool facts about this joint.
1. Cosi is a Boston, Massachusetts-based fast casual restaurant chain that is best known for its homemade Flatbread. It was founded in 1996 and currently has over 100 locations in the U.S.
2. The name Cosi comes from an Italian opera written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart entitled “Cosi fan tutte”, which happens to be the original owner’s favorite theater play.
3. Cosi is committed to high quality ingredients. The Cosi flatbread that is based on a two-millennium old recipe is freshly baked every twenty minutes. All produce are fresh and preferred to be locally grown. Poultry is naturally-raised without the enhancement of antibiotics. The tunas are line caught dolphin-safe albacore tuna. They serve wild caught Alaskan salmon. The cheese and dairy products are pasteurized and the coffee served is made from 100% Arabica that’s roasted in a Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certified facility.
4. Cosi’s main menu has 11 sandwiches ranging from the most basic Tomato-basil-mozzarella (T.B.M.) to the Turkey Avocado with tomatoes covered with Greek ranch yogurt dressing, to the exotic Hummus and Veggie all set in perfection between the famous Cosi flatbread and, 5 melts served warm on their freshly baked flatbread ranging from the light Tuna Melt with its line-caught albacore tuna with tomatoes, melted cheddar seasoned with fat-free vinaigrette to the filling Steakhouse Gorgonzola Melt with its tender beef medallions, gorgonzola, caramelized red onions smothered with bleu cheese spread.
5. Some Cosi restaurants open as early as 6 am to serve breakfast. You can choose from juicy wraps like the Spinach Florentine, Santa Fe and the Steak and Egg. Or, you can fill up with Cosi’s signature breakfast sandwiches like the Cosi Club Squagel, Western Croissant, T.B.M. Squagel or Make-Your-Own sandwich where you can choose any two toppings from Mozzarella, Swiss, Cheddar, Tomato, Bacon, Ham, Spinach, red peppers and Onions. Check; http://www.getcosi.com/locations for the nearest Cosi and to check on what time they open for breakfast.
6. Cosi has a special menu called Smart Fit which includes entrees that contain superfood ingredients, those that contain vegetables, fruits and whole grains as well as lean protein. The Smart Fit breakfast menu provides 10% of the daily recommended values for vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium and dietary fibers with less than 5 grams of saturated fat, less than 0.5 grams of trans fat and less than 500 calories. The Smart fit lunch and dinner entrees also provide 10% of the recommended daily values for vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium and dietary fiber with less than 7 grams of saturated fat, less than 0.5 grams of trans fat, less than 800 mg. of sodium and less than 500 calories.
7. Cosi does catering services that can accommodate 5 or more guests. They can accommodate same-day catering requests so no one should ever feel that it’s too late to place a catering request for emergency meetings or any last minute gatherings. To place your catering requests, you can go to their website and place your orders online.
8. Anybody can get a Cosi Card as part of their loyalty incentives program. When you get your card you only need to go to the Cosi website to register it and you already qualify for any special promos that they will come up with. For starters, when you have accumulated ten visits to any Cosi restaurant and have ordered entrees that fall within the criteria of the promo, your next meal and beverage will be on the house. But, it is not the only way to get a free meal at Cosi. You can treat your friends, family or employees by giving them Cosi Cards. So, if you are looking for something meaningful for birthdays, anniversaries or for just some out of the blue blowouts, the Cosi Card will be one that will be truly appreciated.
9. Cosi is one of the best companies to work for because aside from having a fun working environment that serves great food to appreciative patrons; Cosi is offering a lot of career opportunities for growth within the organization. They offer a comprehensive medical and dental package. And best of all, they value people’s time and effort by rewarding them with very competitive wages. You can check the current vacancies at https://rn22.ultipro.com/COS1001/JobBoard/ListJobs.aspx.
10. Cosi is open for franchising anywhere in the U.S. Cosi’s management is always on the lookout for qualified franchisees who can help in expanding the Cosi brand across the U.S. This opportunity is always open for people who have multi-unit development experience and those who are willing to commit in the delivery of excellent guest service which the Cosi brand has been known for. Those who are interested can visit http://www.getcosi.com/franchising to check out the basic requirements and fill up the online franchise application form.
If ever you are feeling tired of the regular fastfood burgers and fries and would like to try out something that had a little more effort and commitment in the preparation of your meal, try Cosi out and don’t forget to share your experience with your friends and colleagues.

Sailor Moon Series 3 #97 - SAILOR MERCURY™
My alter ego Amy would rather surf the Internet than a huge wave like this!
But as Sailor Mercury™ I think the more water the better. Without it I wouldn’t be able to stop Negacreeps with my Mercury Bubbles Blast! The thick cloud of frosty fog is impossible to escape, and it’s brought more than one of tear of frustration to Queen Beryl’s™ eyes!

Does the service cover every possible eSigning need?
No. Legally compliant eSigning is a complex matter and varies by sectors, geographies and size; our task is to make this easier, convenienet and productive for all. This offering is designed to assist remote workers with basic cloud signing capabilities and cover many common use cases.
However, if you would like to benefit from additional features, talk to us. These may include more than one signature type (HTML5, biometric, etc.), add certificates (local or remote), use advanced authentication (e.g. One-Time-Password sent by SMS or Transaction Authentication Numbers), custom branding or white label, bulk sending/signing, or use connectors (e.g. for Outlook, Word, Salesforce, Dynamics, SharePoint, etc.) for easy integrations.
Also if you need an on-premise version, want to develop deep application integrations, have particular network/security considerations, or wish to conduct video-identification (Live ID) or video meetings such as for witnessing or KYC, ask us.
Are eSignatures legal in England and Wales?
Yes, as confirmed both by 2019's Law Commission Report and pre-existing EU wide EIDAS legislation. Hovever not all eSignatures carry the same evidential weight and there are variances in admissibility according to which country's law applies and the type of document being signed. For example Scotland allows more with the highest standard (Qualified Electronic Signature) and video witnessing. Generally for most purposes there is a solution using our broad portfolio. See our comments on the Report.
Does someone need to be a eSignAnyWhere user to sign?
No. Signers do not require to open an eSignAnyWhere account (Senders do). Signers can review, fill and sign documents anywhere anytime on any device.
Is eSignAnyWhere GDPR compliant?
eSignAnyWhere enables compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Are you offering individual consultation for integration into individual business processes and/or system environments?
Contact us for evaluation if the Smart Working Service fits your needs or your organization would benefit from implementing one of our regular plans or taking other integration approaches, e.g. if you prefer an on-premise installation, specific application interfaces, or any other additional items mentioned (in exclusions) above.
What happens after December 31st, 2020?
We sincerely hope we will be back to regular business. We assume you have enjoyed the benefits of using eSignAnyWhere and will be ready to select one of our attractive regular plans. If you do not want to continue you can export all of your signed documents from eSignAnyWhere.
Individual questions on the offering can also be answered by email to [email protected]. We will be adding questions and answers relevant to a broader audience to this page subsequently.

About a week ago, I promised to show some shot taken during the “White Night” in Rome. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a great night for photography and the only worthy shots were taken near at the gazometer.
Before showing its white night-fashion I’d like to post here a couple of classics.

Laguna Hills, CA – June 10, 2019 – Fiat Chrysler Automobiles LLC (FCA) is pulling nearly 300,000 Ram 1500 trucks – model years 2019 and 2020 – from the marketplace due to an onboard software flaw that may prevent the vehicle’s air bag from deploying in the aftermath of a crash, thus increasing the risk of injury. The automobile’s seat belt pretensioners may also fail to function due to the tech defect. The company says it will reach out to Ram 1500 owners by mail later this summer, advising them to take their trucks to their nearest Chrysler dealership so repair work can be arranged. The fix will come at no cost to drivers.
According to documents submitted to and produced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 295,981 2019-2020 Ram 1500s are due for recall because the truck’s occupant restraint controller (ORC) system may not work properly in the event of a traffic accident. Specifically, the issue seems to affect the ORC’s flash memory, in which the computer module doesn’t reset as it’s supposed to when powering down the vehicle. This reset failure could then prevent the airbags and/or seat-belt pretensioners from operating correctly in a collision-related event.
In a statement acknowledging that the company is aware of the problem, FCA said that while they are making this move out of an abundance of caution, the chances that such a scenario occurs for motorists is highly unlikely.
“Data collected by FCA US indicate the potential for such an event is highly remote,” the Auburn Hills, Michigan-based manufacturer said in a press release. “Further, the Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents.”
Timeline of Events
The issue came to FCA’s attention April 8, when an engineer on the manufacturer’s Vehicle Safety and Regulatory Compliance team observed a corrupted software notification that occurred when turning off the truck. A formal investigation by Fiat Chrysler occurred in the immediate aftermath, which extended to May 3. The inquiry determined that the flaw had the potential to prevent the seatbelt pretensioner or airbags from serving their purpose during an accident. However, through May 20, the company wasn’t aware of any operator complaints or injuries that occurred – in the U.S. or elsewhere – related to the software glitch. This may be due to the fact that many of the affected automobiles – up to 33% – are still at dealerships, yet to be purchased by would-be operators. Those impacted were likely assembled at some point between Oct. 31, 2018 and April 29, 2019.
FCA deemed it appropriate that a voluntary recall be ordered for the Ram 1500s, which is what prompted the safety notification to NHTSA.
On June 1, FCA sent out letters to dealerships, informing them of the problem and that 2019-2020 Ram 1500s should be set aside for the time being. Current operators will also be made aware of the glitch, which is slated to begin on July 20. Owners are urged to bring their trucks to their nearest FCA dealer so the ORC can either be reprogrammed or replaced, whichever fix is deemed appropriate by the attending mechanics. This repair will be free of charge.
To learn more, dial 1-888-327-4236, which is NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline. You can also enter your VIN at MotorSafety.org to see if your make and model is under recall.

tv Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer CNN August 11, 2016 2:00pm-4:01pm PDT
like amazon.com seem to be coming at the great expense of old school department stores. macy's announcement follows other big closures by walmart, target, jc penney, and sears. happening now, the founder of isis, donald trump steps up his attacks calling president obama the founder of isis, and hillary clinton the cofounder. even when asked if he really means it, he insists it is not a mistake. and trump takes heat from gop leaders. but trump says he prefers his style and refuses to tune it county. a russian cyber attack.
officials are blaming russia for what the to democrat is calling an electronic water gate. hillary clinton slammed donald trump's tax cut and that it would help millionaires and trump would pay a lower rate than middle class families. i'm wolf blitzer, you're in "the situation room." donald trump may be going for broke right now despite repeated calls to tone down his campaign. he is calling president obama the founder of isis and hillary clinton the cofounder. asked by interviewers if he really means that, trump refused to back down. he said today that he will keep doing what he is doing and if he does not win in november, he will enjoy "a very, very nice long vacation."
republican leaders are concerned about the direction of trump's campaign. dozens of former g.o.p. officials and staffers have now signed a new letter to the national committee chairman saying trump's recklessness could spark a landslide. they are urging he i ddiverts a from trump. democrats are focused on the signer attack in their national committee. they say e-mails tied to the clinton come back were hacked. nancy pelosi is calling it a electronic watergate. and michael cohen and our correspondents, analysts, and guests have full coverage of today's top stories. donald trump stepping up attacks on president obama and hillary clinton repeatedly calling them
the founders of isis. jim acosta is on the campaign trail in florida right now. trump didn't always take that stance, but update us on the latest. >> that is right, wolf. after a year of ridiculing his opponents with nicknames, he came up with new tacks. he said they are the founders of isis. but that accusation and others from trump have opened him up to criticism that he is being hypocritical. >> it is fast becoming a go-to line of attack for donald trump. that president obama and his former secretary of state hillary clinton gave birth to isis. >> i call president obama and hillary clinton the founders of isis. they're the founders. in fact, i think we'll give hillary clinton the you know, if you're on a sports team, most
valuable player. mvp award. >> he says the president's withdraw from the iraq war created the conditions on the ground for them to rise to power. >> he tried to kill them. >> the way he got out of iraq was the founding of isis. >> trump once advocated a speedy pullout from the war as well. he said in 2008 i'd get out of iraq right now. hillary clinton came to his defense saying barack obama is not the founder of isis. trump first called mr. obama the founder of isis last night and he referred to the president by his full name and slammed the white house on it's handling of russia. we will find out, it was taken during the administration of barack hussein obama. >> continuing that soft on terror theme, trump also alleged that the father of the nightclub shooter was at a rally for the
them. how did you like that picture, him sitting, 49 people killed. other people will never, ever, ever be the same. and that guy is sitting back there, and of course he likes hillary. >> what trump did not know is sitting right behind him was disgraced former congressman mark foley who resigned for sending explicit text messages to under age pages. former new york mayor insists that trump will take place in the debates. >> all three debates? the negotiations which, the federal commission is always allowed between the candidates, is going to happen about, you know, i don't know, how big is
the podium, do you wear red ties or does she wear a blue suit. >> cnn learned that reince prebus talked about the campaign's effect on other congressional races. trump says he is not doing a thing. >> i'm going to keep doing the same thing i'm doing right now. and it's either going to work orly have a very, very nice long vacation. >> now once source close to trump say there's is a "war going on inside the rnc." if congressional candidates should think about going their own way in their own races. state by state races, this afternoon donald trump says he has a tremendous problem with the state of utah. that is a reliably red state. if he is having problems in he lots of places. breaking news we're
following. sources now say dozens of republicans including former lawmakers, officials in the g.o.p. administration. former party staffers have signed a new letter to reince prebus saying the party must divert resources away from donald trump and other candidates, republican candidates. dana bash has a copy of this letter. >> the letter has not yet gone to the rnc. they're still collecting signatures. as last i saw, there is 75 on it, some former members of congress, most of these people were already anti-trump officials. but the whole focus is they say in the wrong place. it should not be on trump. they think he will close in a landslide and they should try to save the house and senate pebs who are on theba ballot.
let me show you this part of the letter. we believe that donald trump's unpleasant feelings towards trump and resources should be put towards the house and senate reelections. the pressure is coming from other places, too. some rnc committee men and others i'm told have saying please, we don't think this is winnable on a presidential level. let's save the senate. >> is it plausible? >> i'm glad you asked that question. plausible? it could be difficult but doable for a lot of complicated reasons. most importantly i'm told that
rooi reince prebus is not there yet. he doesn't think this is the right thing to do right now and doesn't think it will work at this point. and there are lots of reasons, but one interesting reason is that a lot of the vulnerable senators, republican senators, are in battleground states. and he believes there are not a lot of ticket splitters. if you say we're not going to focus on donald trump in, say, ohio. if you put it towards rob portman, it will suppress voters and hurt rob portman and donald trump. i'm told by sources familiar with his thinking that, you know, we'll see where the polls are in a couple weeks. maybe september, to see if things change. >> after labor day, that is when the battles really begin in
these contests. joining us now is michael cohen. he is in the special council to donald trump. give me your immediate reaction, michael, to this letter now circulating to chairman reince prebus saying don't fund trump any more, keep it for down ballot candidates. >> you're talking about former g.o.p. individuals. what would have been nice is if in the past that these people would have united for a cause to help the american people to the same extent they're uniting now against donald trump. i think that they're all out of their minds, and i think they're wrong. i do not see this as a loss for mr. trump. i think she wildly more popular than what the media is giving him credit for. i mean on most of these shows, you talk about words like jaw dropping comments by donald trump. or clinton slams trump, i mean the negativity coming against
donald trump from the media, along with the $20 plus million a month that the clintons are spending against donald trump doesn't seem to be working. >> this is not the media, these are republicans, lifelong republicans -- >> former. >> they were in the republican party -- >> no, they're still republicans, they have not become democrats or independents, their republicans who simply say they can't support trump. here is a follow up question -- >> i'm pretty sure i could find 75 democrats that can't support hillary. >> let's get to the sensitive issue. vulnerable republicans out there. how many are asking donald trump to help them out there on the campaign trail. when he goes to some of the states, the vulnerable republicans state away from him. >> i'm not part of the campaign, so i don't know the answer to that. i know that mr. trump receives a lot of phone calls from a lot of
these down ballot candidates for financial support and for his personal support. they have for many years and they still do now. >> okay, let's talk about isis. he created quite a stir by saying that president obama is the founder of isis, and hillary clinton is the cofounder of isis. what does he mean by that? >> i think he made is crystal clear. for me to repeat his words, this is a product, a sprinter off of al qaeda. which is the direct result of the pullout of iraq. it was done improperly by the estimation of many military individuals with a lot of knowledge. i don't have that knowledge on it, but i will say that isis came out and we all know this is a splinter of al qaeda. mr. trump holds barack obama and hillary clinton as insiders responsible for this. >> but you're right, isis is the
group that emerged from al qaeda in iraq. al qaeda in iraq was created after the u.s. went into iraq in 2003 to get rid of saddam hussein. so would president obama who ordered that invasion, is he the founder of al-qaeda in iraq that became isis. >> mr. trump made it clear the m.v.p.s and founders are president obama and secretary clinton. >> he is calling them the founders because they supported a withdrawal, a complete withdrawal which was negotiated by president usual. >> many of the things that barack obama did that was not in lean with the bush administration he took on. and i happen to be a democrat and you know, i personally did not want to see a fast withdrawal. i wanted to see a smart and proper withdrawal so we would not have a situation like isis.
people don't realize that -- just how they're growing at an exponential rate, putting the united states as well as all of our allies around the world in some serious trouble. unfortunately we see it on a daily basis. >> this issue came up in an interview that i did with donald trump back in 2007. i'm going to play the clip for you because it will have a eari impact. >> this country is just getting furthered dogged down. they're in a civil war. there is nothing we can do with a civil war, they're in a major civil war. >> he was opposed to the war in iraq, he said just get out, declare victory and get out. >> you take a small clip. what she is referring to, number
one, he didn't want to be in that war in the first place. i think he was speaking more about the economic disaster that the united states, by supporting these wars that cost us trillions and trillions of dollars, forgetting about the countless american lives lost. i think what he would really like to talk about right now is the e-mail scandal and the fact that hillary clinton probably, in the clinton foundation, probably took money from the same people in iraq and saudi and other places. >> he was in favor of a fast withdrawal in 2007 and now he criticizes president obama and saying he is the founder of isis because he supported a wra withdrawal by the end of 2011. >> we financially can't afford it. we have to wake up and
understand we have a $20 trillion debt. what we're doing to our children, our grandchildren, and the future of this country is ir reputable. as a result of these wars where we're fighting for every other country, with no return to the united states, of any competition, that is what mr. trump is talking about. when he says if people, or other countries want us to protect them, you have to pay for the service. you can't have it for free. it doesn't make any sense. and that is what he is talking about. we are $20 trillion, as a deficit. i saw on one of these programs, someone was talking about the magnitude of this debt. if the u.s. government cut a billion dollars a day on this deficit, it would take us 40 years to pay it off. this is some serious numbers. i think that is what mr. trump is talking about.
>> i read the whole transcript of that interview in 2007. a lot of it is consistent with what he says nowadays the war was a disaster. he blames president bush, condoleezza rice, he says get out of there, declare victory, withdrawal right away, and presumably in part because of the lives lost and the money spent. we have more to discuss, stick around, more coming up after this. you can fly across welcome town in minutes16, or across the globe in under an hour. whole communities are living on mars and solar satellites provide earth with unlimited clean power. in less than a century, boeing took the world from seaplanes to space planes, across the universe and beyond.

officials have signed a letter. ta they say they want reince prebus to stop funding trump's election campaign. as you know. tim kaine announced today that he and hillary clinton will be releasing their tax returns. kaine for ten years, hillary clinton for last year because she already released others. donald trump says no because they are under audit. and that explanation doesn't involve all of his tax returns. >> as special counsel to mr. trump, i have been on your show, i have watched you bring on some
of the most well known and sophisticated individual that's have worked in the irs that also follow what i'm saying. i personally will not allow him to release those tax returns until the audits are over. there is not a lawyer on the planet that should give advice other than what i just gave. if they do they would be suffering mal prpractice. >> even the ones not under audit. >> i would not give any until the audit is over. that is the same advice that you had experts on on the shows saying exactly the same thing. >> is there any kind of letter from the irs or anything you want to release not news media to confirm he is under audit. >> he is telling you is under
audit. he has been under audit so often it is out of control. you always want to question his honesty and voracity, when it is hillary clinton that has a 26 -- and this is by your own poll, 66 or 67% unfavorable when it comes to being trustworthy and honest. let's go back to the clinton foundation, things that are attacks. the way that everybody in the media is attacking mr. trump in terms of words, slamming him. nobody is slamming trump. you will be very shocked when it comes time that people have the pull the lever for the name of the individual they trust, for the person they know that can do something with the economy and not have their speech writers give them some of the greatest lines. i watched hillary clinton's speech in michigan and i'm wondering who is saying this
stuff? she calls mr. trump pessimistic and negative. he is the most optimistic man you will ever meet. he just wants to build this country and put people to work. she is using his lines thinking that because she says it people will believe it. no matter how many time you or others say it. >> i don't know if you know it, your tax return, do you know what his tax rate is? >> he has said, and i will repeat the same thing. he has the finest tax attorneys in washington. as a businessman, it's his obligation not just to him, himself, his family, he plays the least that is legal. he has the best tax attorneys making sure that he does that because that is what businessmen, that is what they do, and for him to do anything
less than that would make no sense. >> we have more questions. unfortunately we ran autoof time, michael, we hope you will come back soon. >> i will always come back for more abuse. >> it's not abuse, these are good serious questions. >> they're serious questions, they're important, that the american people -- >> but you're missing the entire point. >> he wants to be president of the united states. >> you're missing the point, there is only one man that can build the economy, build jobs, save the country. he wants to make america great again. the rest is written by hillary clinton speech writers, that's all there is to know. >> michael cohen, thank you very much. >> always. >> coming up, more on donald trump's new strategy of attacking president obama and hillary clinton as the founders of isis and refusing to back down.
at the marine mammal center, the environment is everything. we want to do our very best for each and every animal, and we want to operate a sustainable facility. and pg&e has been a partner helping us to achieve that. we've helped the marine mammal center go solar, install electric vehicle charging stations, and become more energy efficient. pg&e has allowed us to be the most sustainable organization we can be. any time you help a customer, it's a really good feeling. it's especially so when it's a customer that's doing such good and important work for the environment. together, we're building a better california.
bash. david, donald trump doubling down on his attacks against president obama saying he is the founder of isis. what is your reaction to this? >> you just heard michael cohen stumble all over the place trying to explain it. it is unfathomable. trump called for a complete withdrawal in 2008. president obama had a phased withdrawal, ending it on the date that it was called for. how does that make him the founder of isis? the thing that -- let me speak, not as someone that worked for president obama, but for someone that worked in 150 campaigns and several presidential campaigns. i don't understand the strategy of the guy with the worst numbers of any major party candidate in mistire in terms of his favorables deciding it is
smart to attack a popular president and that is the path to victory. it thrills the people in the rom in front of him, that doesn't help him grow his support. >> trump is always under a lot of scrutiny, but now republicans are coming out and they wrote a letter to reince prebus, don't waste money, in effect, on donald trump's campaign. save that money for down ballot republicans. >> that is right, and this is part of the growing concern based on what is happening in the last two weeks with donald trump's campaign. not just the controversial things he said, but more importantly that this is just the hard data. people looking at numbers and in key battleground states concerned that he will hurt not just himself, but drag down
senate republicans. most of the people that sign on to this letter, most of them it looks like were all right in the never trump camp. as i said earlier, my understanding is that it is just a nonstarter. >> is there a serious number of vulnerable republicans up for reelection in the house that are asking trump to campaign for him. >> we have not seen that where he goes into a state like new hampshire, and campaigns with kelly ayotte, in fact he was very critical of her. he went out and attacked her as
well as john mccain. the reason being is that there is a core group of support that she needs in november, so a lot of times, with the exception of mark kirk, a lot of them have to be careful what they say not to offend the trump supporters. >> i just happened to be talking to a long time analyst noting that very thing. those that we covered, they fought the local officials off of the stage. now the opposite which is one of donald trump's calling cards. >> it is not trump people wanting him to come cam bane, but in ohio there was a report today that rob portman's people are showing up about hillary clinton rallies to edge courage
them to cross vote. it is something that i have not seen and it is pretty unique. >> it is interesting, david. you hear the reports that reince prebus, who is the chairman of the republican national committee, he is on a growth mindset. senior members of trump's campaign, that he has been trying to tone things down a little bit. we have not seen trump tone down, if anything he is doubling down on the notion that the president of the united states and hillary clinton are the founders of isis. david? >> to me? yeah, he has toned down. he is speaking in more muted tones. the language is as incendiary as it was before. i think one has to kep that donald trump is donald trump. the things that got him to this point, that ability to say that
willingness to say the outrageous thing, that is what got him to this point. the problem is that it doesn't have broader appeal and he can't, as i said earlier, grow his support by doing this. but i don't think they can stop him. this is his nature. i don't think it will stop. >> what are you hearing about the conversations? >> what i heard is that there was no, reince prebus did not call him and say by the way we will reallocate resources unless you get your campaign in order. what i have heard is that there was a phone call, and there was harsh words said, and i think he took it very personally when trump came out and said very nice things about paul ryan's opponent in wisconsin. they are very close friends, that was on the table, and i think that reince prebus was
very upset with how they handles the controversy. they should be talking about how they're going to attack hillary clinton. >> that is a good point. stand by, we're following new developments in the hillary clinton campaign today. she turned to the sports pages to find a new put down for trump's plans to cancel trade deals, and tax imports. >> if team usa was as fearful as trump, michael phelps and simone biles would be cowering in the locker room, afraid to come out and compete. inside, they're winning gold medals. america is not afraid to compete. with usaa is awesome. homeowners insurance life insurance automobile insurance i spent 20 years active duty

i took warfarin for over 15 years until i learned more about once-daily xarelto... a latest generation blood thinner. then i made the switch. xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. xarelto® is selective targeting one critical factor of your body's natural clotting function. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms.
do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. there's more to know. xarelto. hillary clinton today slammed donald trump's mans to create what she calls a trump loophole that benefits himself for the plan. >> it was hillary clinton's turn today to make her push about why she is better for the economy. she highlighted the divisions. >> it is wonderful to be back in
michigan. >> likt is drawing a sharp contrast with donald trump on the economy. >> he talked only of failure, poverty, and crime. he is missing so much about what makes michigan great. >> speaking at a manufacturing plant outside of detroit, she charged that the proposals would benefit the wealthy. >> he nas not offered any solutions for the very real economic challenges we face. >> i will make the economy work for everyone, not just those at the top. >> the setting is macomb county. she is looking to appeal to blue collar workers that might be swayed by trump's populist
rhetor rhetoric. >> a lot of people feel no one is on their side and no one has their back. >> her speech comes three days after trump addressed the detroit economic club. >> hillary clinton has supported the trade deals tripping this city and this country of it's jobs and wealth. >> clinton responding to trump's criticism today. >> he may talk a big game on trade, but his approach is based on fear, not trenstrength. fear that our country has to hide behind walls. >> talking about his failure to release his tax returns. >> he refuses to do what every other presidential candidate has done and release his tax returns. >> donald trump is firing back saying his record doesn't match
her rhetoric. >> when it comes to the handling of the economy, the latest poll shows clip ton with a narrow advantage over trump. 68% say they trust trump. clinton is hoping to expand that by undercutting trump's core message on the economy. >> there is a smith out there that he will stick it to the rich and powerful because he is really on the side of the little guy. don't believe it. >> and the campaign advisor tells hillary clinton she will release her 2015 tax returns as early as tomorrow -- and a coordinated effort to keep the pressure on trump. coming up, a huge challenge facing the u.s. secret service. keeping the presidential candidates safe when protestors

violence. the secret service this year is dealing with a unique set of challenges. in the middle of hillary clinton's rally, a protester rushed the stage. the secret service quickly responded. the woman was subdued, hustled out. in march, man rushed donald trump's podium in dayton, ohio. trump was startled. the agents quickly handled the situation. this year the challenge of protecting candidates has reached new heights from man using suction cups to climb trump tower to two party convention with fence jumpers and other security headaches. a multitude of candidate who is attract passionate crowds. at a bernie sanders event in california, he was rushed by several people. what's that moment like for a secret service agent? >> you want to get between them and the protectee and cover their hands and make sure that you've got an area to touch and reach and feel for anything

president obama as the first african-american eight years ago. >> it creates a unique challenge for sure. look what happens to presidents when they're in a war footing and start talking about the enemy. >> reporter: former agents say each event is a super bowl for the secret service and losing that super bowl isn't an option. with everything that's happened on the campaign trail, is the secret service under particular stress this year? a secret service official said absolutely not. former agent larry johnson said now that the conventions are over and there's fewer candidates to protect, the agency probably not quite as stressed as it was earlier this year. johnson says there's still almost three months left and in this climate, anything can still happen. >> secret service does an amazing job. those are really solid professionals. i worked closely with them. my at goes off to these secret service officer and agents.

republican party chairman warning trump may lose the election and take house and senate candidates down with him. he's urging the rnc to stomp spending money on trump saying he's undermined the party at every turn. will officials heed their warning. russian hackers targeted personal e-mail accounts, including members of clinton campaign. congress's top democrat is comparing it to watergate burglary. will more damaging material be released? we need action. a desperate plea to president obama from doctors in syria warning they could be wiped out in a month leaving hundreds of thousands of civilians living in jeopardy. they're message to the president, we don't need tears or sympathy. we need action. will the u.s. respond? we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room."
donald trump is not backing down. he's claimed that president obama founded isis along with hillary clinton. he's gone onto say they are two of the terror groups most valuable players trump's cascading controversies prompted leading republicans to draft a new letter to the party chairman urging him to stop spending money trump's campaign. they say he's increasingly unlikely to win. also tonight, the personal e-mail accounts of clinton campaign and democrat party officials are now believed to have been among the target offense that massive cyber attack on the dnc. house democratic leader nancy pelosi calls it an electronic water gate that's blamed on russia. we're covering much more of that
this hour. our correspondents and expert analysts are standing by. let's begin with the trump campaign. donald trump keeps repeating this claim that president obama and hillary clinton founded isis. what is the latest? >> reporter: you know, wolf, donald trump has repeated those claims in five different settings over the past 24 hours. most recently this afternoon in orlando, florida. when trump was given the opportunity to clarify or explain what he meant by founders of isis, he said it wasn't a metaphor. he meant exactly what he said. >> i call president obama and hillary clinton the founders of isis. they're the founders. >> reporter: donald trump refusing to back down from his incorrect claim that president obama and hillary clinton created isis. >> i think we'll give hillary clinton, the most valuable player, mvp.
you get the mvp award. isis will hand her the most valuable player award. her only competition is barack obama. >> reporter: trump first made the claim at rally in sunrise, florida wednesday night. when given the chance to clarify on conservative radio show he took it a step further. >> i know you meant. he lost the piece. >> i meant he's the founder of isis. he's the most valuable player. i give her too, by the way. >> he's not sympathetic to them. he hates them. >> he was the founder. theway he got out of iraq, that was founding of isis. >> reporter: trump called for the u.s. to get out of iraq in a 2007 interview with wolf. >> how do they get out? they get out. that's how they get out. declare victory and leave. >> reporter: hillary clinton rebuked trump's charge today tweeting, no barack obama is not founder of isising adding anyone willing to sink so low so often should never be allowed to serve
as our commander in chief. wednesday night trump shamed the clinton campaign for having the father seated just behind her at a rally this week. trump made this in prime position behind him. a former representative from florida resigned in 2006, amid allegations he sent sexually explicit e-mails and messages to underage teenage boys working at the capital. >> when you get those seat s you sort of know the campaign. >> reporter: the trump campaign has not responded to requests to comments about foley being in attendance. reince priebus has expressed concerns about the direction of his campaign and impact on down ballot races. trump insisted this morning he didn't have plans to change his approach despite recent polls show him trailing in battleground states.
>> i just keep doing the same thing and in the end it's either going to work or i'm going to have a very, very nice long vacation. >> reporter: donald trump may be trailing in some of those swing states but new poll out of iowa shows he's neck and neck with hillary clinton. a poll shows donald trump up 41% to 40% with 17% of undecided voters. donald trump indicating today through rudy giuliani that he will be participating in all three presidential debates this fall. wolf. >> thank you. there's also breaking news tonight. c cnn has learned that top republicans are circulating a draft letter urging priebus to divert resources from trump warning his campaign is going down. our chief political correspondent, dana bash, is working the story for us. 75 leading republicans have signed this draft letter.
what do we know about it? >> it's about a handful of former members of congress but also people who have worked on presidential campaigns and on campaigns for house and senate. what they are arguing, and i should say that, most of them are already in the never trump camp. they are taking that opposition a step further and formally asking the rnc chair to move resources away from the trump campaign into the down ballot races, senate and house races because they believe that's the most important. i'll read you part of the letter. we believe that donald trump's divisiveness and record breaking unpopularity risk turning this election into a democratic land slide and only the immediate shift of all available rnc resources will prevent the gop from drowning with the trump em blazened anchor around its neck. this hasn't gone to reince
priebus. they are still collecting signatures. >> is it plausible that the republican national committee could do something so drastic? >> it's an important question and the answer at this moment in time is no. i was told by a couple of sources who are familiar with priebus' plans and where he is right now on that very question. the answer is no for several reasons. one of them is the fact of the matter is there's a lot of vulnerable senators, in particular, republican senators on the ballot in battleground states. they feel at this point they're tied with donald trump even though many of them are kind of going out on their own, campaigning on their own. many of them like rob portman has very strong name id back home that he feels kind of cut the head off the funding for the guy at the top of the ticket, it could backfire and there could be voter suppression or
republican voters who might not go to the ballot who they need for people like rob portman in ohio, kelly ayotte in new hampshire. i'm also told it's early. it's still august. they're definitely watching carefully to see where donald trump's numbers go nationally and in the key battleground states. >> thanks very much. let's get some more on all of this. jack kingston is with us. >> thank you. >> you heard about this draft letter saying he's going down. this could be a land slide. take the money you're giving to his campaign and move it to these down ballot house and is that the republicans. your reaction. >> a couple of things opinion number one, you got to keep in mind that these politicians are at their political prime in the days of beanie babies and disco. they're seeking relevance again
by being the great contrarians. it's the height of elitism to say that the nominee of the republican party isn't good enough for them. he fought through a very tough primary, beat 16 well qualified candidates and they're saying he doesn't meet their muster. the american people doesn't accept that. >> which vulnerable republicans are urging donald trump to go out there and campaign with them or even showing up when he shows up in their respective states? >> politicians always do a two step. depending on what their district politics looks like and in some areas, it's better not to have barack obama, better not to have newt gingrich, getter not to have nancy pelosi visit. this is not anything new. politicians very first instinct is always survival. >> some of these republicans are going so far as to denounce
donald trump. >> yes but some of them don't -- it's looking pretty bleak for my friend mark kirk in illinois. he's distancing himself. it's a political calculation. i think it's one of self-survival. here is somebody who won a 17-way primary. you have to respect the system. if you have a problem with the system, change the system. they should take a lesson from the bernie sanders supporters. i saw them walk off floor. i know how mad they were. most of them, including bernie himself, have now come home to their party. i wish republicans would think in terms of party loyalty as well. >> what do you say about all these reports that so many republican, including priebus are urging donald trump to tone things down, not go off the cuff and not say some of these things he's been saying. donald trump does what got him to this dance. he's continuing to do so. >> he's an unusual candidate. he is making that transition
from the private sector and the business sector where bravado rules the day to the public sector where you have to watch what you say. he makes washington establishment unkmcomfortable. he's not talking to washington. he's talking to the guy out there struggle. >> do you agree when he says that president obama and hillary clinton are the founders of isis? >> you know what, i think he's driving a point. he's doing it rhetorically. the reality -- >> he says he's not doing it rhetorically. he said he's serious. >> the reality is when barack obama left iraq without a statement of forces and collapsed the international coalition, it gave rise to isis. i think there's an argument to say it would not have been there without the hillary clinton, state department and the barack obama white house. >> this was president bush's
timetable as you know, the end of 2011. listen to this. back in 2007, when i interviewed donald trump, he was calling for exactly the same thing that he's now accusing president obama of doing unilaterally pulling out of iraq too early. listen to what he told me back in 2007. >> they have a civil war going on. >> who do you blame? >> there's only one person and that's our current president. other people that are giving him advice have been a disaster and condolezza rice is a decent woman but she doesn't make a deal. she gets off the plane and waves. they do the camera shot. she waves again and gets back on the plane. no deal ever happens. >> you got to close the deal at some point? >> you got to make deals. the world is dying to make deals. we don't have the right people doing it.
>> the vice president, dict chan chanch dick cheney. >> he's a hawkish guy. i don't know if they're bad people. i don't know what's going on. i just know they got us into a mess. the likes of which this country has probably never seen. it's one of the great catastrophes of all time. >> how does the united states get out of this situation? >> they get out. that's how they get out. declare victory and leave. this country is just going to get further bogged down. they're in a civil war over there. there's nothing that we'll be able to do with a civil war. they are in major civil war. >> that was back in 2007. he said just get out of there and declare victory. would that have been smart? >> i think those comments were consistent with his opposition to the war to begin with. donald trump was against our action in iraq. number two, this was in '07. he's saying cut a deal. a statement of forces is cutting
a deal with the international team to say we're going to get out but here are the rules of engagement. >> he said the whole war -- you voted for the war. what you did is a disaster as far as donald trump is concerned? >> colin powell said if you break it, you own it. we underestimated the war. >> you acknowledge that was a blunder to support the war back in 2003? >> i think at the time we based it on our best intelligence. >> it was a blunder? >> it's not gone the way it should have. >> that war created, as you know, al qaeda in iraq. the precursor to isis. those who supported the war, are they the founders of al qaeda in iraq? >> you had the taliban which was very aligned with al qaeda and al qaeda was there in afghanistan and operating in other places in the middle east. the idea is we have the go to
war against them. what donald trump is saying, i was on the armed services committee of appropriations, when the president left iraq without a statement of forces, the rules of engagement fell apart. it left -- >> donald trump said they should have done that in 2007. >> he was a private citizen at the time. i would say he did not have the intel that -- >> how does that make any difference? he was obviously intelligent man. he studied situation closely. he said the war in iraq is a disaster. the u.s. is losing a lot of young men and women. it's costing the u.s. taxpayer a fortunate. declare victory and just get out. >> i think he still was reaching back to his historic stance against the war which hillary clinton and john kerry -- >> and you. >> and jack kingston and other people said we should do this. the reality is i was not for leaving without a statement of forces. a statement of forces would have probably headed off an isis kind of creation.
we're fighting terrorism all the time. as long as we're talking about this, it's important because if you look at -- >> he's now accusing the president of the united states of founding isis. you don't agree with him on that? >> i would say that barack obama was contributor by not having a statement of forces. i would further say hillary clinton was contributory if you look at the foreign policy under the two. >> that's a different statement than what donald trump said yesterday, last night and today. >> when he's speaking, he's so often speaking to the man on the street, the woman on the street who can identify with clear language. >> isn't it dangerous when he says the president of the united states is a founder of isis. people hear that. you know there are crazy people out there who take those kinds of statements very seriously and there's a lot of concern that that could generate some serious problems out there. you understand the concern that the secret service, for example, has when they hear that kind of
tone? >> when hillary clinton in may of '08 was asked to quit the campaign. why don't you quit the campaign? she eluded to senator kennedy getting killed. that's really scary language. you didn't hear the anything about that. hillary clinton said that in may -- >> there's a lot of coverage in 2008. i remember she later apologized. i remember that very vividly. you agree, i think you agree with most people, it's time to tone down the rhetoric. this is getting pretty dangerous. >> i think the rhetoric is always going to be part of a campaign, but as somebody who did the funding for the federal law enforcement training center where the secret service trained, i don't believe the secret service went to either campaign and advised them on their rhetoric. they say watch the ball kcony. i don't believe secret service has intervened with either campaign on the rhetoric.
i also think the american people understand so much of political rhetoric. most of it is dismissed either way. >> it's getting heated out there as you well know. i know you'd like to see things toned down a bit. we have more questions for you. let's take a quick break. much more with jake kingston right after this. rs, real fruit, wholesome nuts and crunchy flakes. good things come together to make one great thing. great grains. why be good when you can be great?

they say his chances are evaporating by the day. we're back with trump campaign senior advisor jack kingston. hillary clinton saying she'll release her 2015 tax returns. she's released earlier years. tim kaine will release ten years of his returns. she's challenging donald trump to do the same thing. any chance we'll see his tax retur returns? >> i don't know that a decision has been made to it. i hope she puts her e-mails on the table as well. we found out recently now that the clinton foundation was, defense a quid pro quo. we're not demanding she put her taxes on the table but we believe she should put the e-mails on the table. >> we'll have a full report on that coming up.
all presidential candidate s hae done this since the '70s. >> the decision will be made. hillary is doing what other candidates have done. release yours first. if we're talking about releasing things, we'd like to see her release the e-mails. get it done and stop lying about it. >> you mean the 33,000 that she said was deleted. she doesn't have them if they were deleted. >> the e-mails show a record of access because of donations to the clinton foundation. we'd like to see everything. >> those are state department e-mails being released under the freedom of information act. those are state department e-mails that are still available. >> seems like wikileaks has
better information on hillary clinton than she does. we would love to see more about her e-mails. i don't know why she is living with this scandal. she should have dumped them on the table a year ago. >> do you have any idea what his tax rate? >> i don't. i'm sure he's paid a lot of taxes over the years. i know he's created a lot of jobs which is something that hillary clinton can't claim. she's not created jobs. he's a job creator. in the private sector that's what we need are private sector jobs and not government jobs. that's what we heard from her today about her economic plan is more government spending, a third term of barack obama. >> jack kingston, thanks for joining us. >> thanks. just ahead, more on donald trump's claim that president obama founded isis. why is he suggesting that? soon, she'll be binge-studying. get back to great. this week sharpie singles now twenty-five cents.

donald trump's newest attack is targeting president obama as well as hillary clinton. he's claimed repeatedly over the past 24 hours that they founded isis. he called them the terror group's most valuable player. let's dig deeper. washington post assistant editor, cnn chief political analyst. gloria, let me play a few of the
sound bites, the clips donald trump accusing the president and the democratic nominee of founding isis. >> isis is honoring president obama. he is the founder of isis. he's the founder of isis. he's the founder. he founded isis. i would say the co-founder would be crooked hillary clinton. he was the founder, absolutely the founder. in fact, he gets the -- in sports they have awards. he gets the most valuable player award. he and hillary. >> last night you said the president was the founder of isis. i know what you meant. >> i meant he's the founder of isis. i give him the most valuable player award. >> barack obama and hillary clinton, these are the founders of isis. these are the founders of isis
because of bad judgment. these are founders. >> gloria, why is he doing this? >> he's trying to appeal to his base. he's trying to get out the base voters who don't like president obama. who were not in favor of the war in iraq. he knows the gop voters vote on the terror issue. it's either at the top of their list or number two on their list. he wants to remind people that isis is still around. even when hugh said i understand you created the vacuum and that's what you're talking about. he said no, no. i'm talking about barack obama founded isis. it's very simple. he does this over and over again during the campaign to quite some effect and if this election is going to be about mobilization, getting your voters out there, this is really one way for him to do it and it could prove to be effective. >> he gave him an opening to
back away from that. isis is the world's leading terror organization. to accuse the president of the united states and hillary clinton of founding isis, that doesn't get more serious than that. >> i think we can all say that hugh is no fan of barack obama and hillary clinton. by offering donald trump that plank to walk it back a bit and donald trump not using it shows that he is not giving a dog whistle. it's a loud whistle to the base of what he's trying to do. there's something to be said to a television commercial needs to run six times before it penetrates into the voters head. saying this and saying this is powerful to his base. however, it's going to alienate those in the middle who think not only was that egregious and
he also said they were honoring barack obama. >> he's got to reach out and bring in independents and democrats. >> he's sounding this message that president obama is culpable to say maybe obama should not have gotten out and left a reserve force of troops in iraq. he's going the full way and saying the bumper sticker that obama is the founder of isis which will alienate voters in the middle. >> it strikes me he's going one large leap beyond referring to any sort of vacuum of power that was created in the middle east by u.s. foreign policy. in fact, i asked his informal but close advisor about this this evening, what was trump getting it. why didn't he take this lifeline on the radio today. roger stone said it's because he believes just as stone himself
believes he's advised trump on this that hillary clinton and barack obama supported isis with weapons and with their policy. this is something that's a con conspiracy theory. obama sent weapons through benghazi. >> he's implied in the past that the president is soft on isis. that's a legitimate gripe against president obama. you can take that down that road and republicans do every day.
this, as rebecca is saying is, you know, is a step further which trump does all the time with a lot of success, i might add. >> donald trump at a rally coming up in next hour in florida. you see a confederate flag already up there with trump's name on it. i'm sure that will generate some commotion as well. go ahead. >> i saw a lot of confederate flags still flying. i don't think we can blame donald trump for that gentleman. it all depends how donald trump will address it after the fact. if he is asked the question what do you think about the flag being flown. is it offensive? should it have place in a museum as the governor of south carolina came around after this terrible shootings. >> a lot of people are pointing
last night for the first time in a long time, all of a sudden donald trump is referring to the president as barack hussein obama. that sort of came out of blue. >> right. it's the same dog whistle that mark is talk about. this is about mobilizing people who don't think that barack obama was born -- is an american citizen. that think he's soft on isis. this is mobilizing his troops. it's what he's got to do. the problem is he's got to appeal to independent voters and the polls show, bloomburg had a poll that showed him down seven points. >> we've been told that the advance staff at this donald trump rally have asked that individual to remove that confederate flag. they removed it but put it back up again. stick around.

>> reporter: the economy is at the heart of a bruising tug of war between clinton and trump. she made clear she feels the pain of working class voters. >> how can you not be frustrated and even angry when you see nothing getting done and a lot of people feel no one is on their side and no one has their back. >> reporter: even while bluntly admitting trade deals have hurt american workers. >> it is true that too often past trade deals have been sold to the american people with rosy scenarios that did not pan out. >> reporter: trade is the pillar of trump's populist argument against electing a second president clinton. >> hillary clinton has supported the trade deals stripping this city and this country of its jobs and its wealth. >> reporter: she warned against accepting trump's isolationist solutions. >> mr. trump may talk a big game on trade but his approach is based on fear not strength.
>> reporter: she also coined a new phrase to use and his plan to lower corporate taxes. >> he called for a new tax loophole. let's call it the trump loophole because it would allow him to pay less than half the current tax rate on income from many of his companies. >> reporter: they're fighting over the same terrain. >> i want so ask those of you some people call reagan democrats to join with me and come home with me today. >> reporter: trump believes those voters offer his best shot for winning the rust belt and the presidency. we talked to former michigan governor james blanchard who says times and candidates are different. >> there's still a lot of people
fond we reagan. he was optimistic. that's a stark contrast with a sad, sad, deranged spectacle, really. >> reporter: the election is a choice. >> there is a myth out there that he will stick it to the rich and powerful because somehow he's really on the side of the little guy. don't believe it. >> reporter: wolf, clinton also called on donald trump yet again today to release his tax returns. he's not yet agreed to release any tax returns. the first presidential nominee not to do so since richard nixon. i'm told by someone close, she intended to release hers tomorrow. tim kaine will also release ten years of his returns trying to keep the pressure on donald trump and to highlight the fact he's yet to release those tax returns. wolf. >> thank you very much.
tonight we're also learning that the cyber attack on the democratic national committee compromised the personal e-mail accounts of clinton campaign and democratic party officials. the top house democrat nancy pelosi is calling it an electronic watergate. jim is working the story for us. russia is strongly suspected of being behind this. >> that's right. this is the first time anyone in the u.s. government has definitively fingered russia for the dnc pelosi said she's sure that russia carried out this attack. the only question she says is who the russians have shared those e-mails with. tonight the hack of democratic party e-mails now includes the private e-mail accounts of some democratic party and clinton campaign officials. the hackers are going after
everything they can to the point that both party vs been warned to assume all e-mail correspondence could have been compromised. for the first time, the alleged culprit, publicly identified by a top ranking democrat. >> this is an electronic watergate. this is a break in. >> reporter: nancy pelosi who received classified briefings on the hack pointing the finger directly at moscow. >> the russians broke in. who did they give the information to, i don't know. who dumped it? i don't know. >> reporter: so far the white house has not blamed the russian government for the hack of the dnc or earlier cyber attacks suspected of russian involvement. intelligence and law enforcement officials have told cnn it's the most likely suspect. as first reported by the new york time, the cyber intrusion targeting democratic party organizations including a breach
of private e-mail accounts of several democratic party officials. some with direct ties to the clinton campaign. according to a u.s. official familiar with the investigation. tonight, the head of the dnc has written to all dnc staffers to say they will be informed next week if their e-mails have been compromised. she wrote, quote, we understand this incident is alarming to all who may be basiced and i share your anger at those who committed and abetted this act. wolf. >> what a worrisome development that is. thanks very much. just ahead, a desperate cry from doctors in syria. they are pleading to president obama for help warning thousands of lives are in jeopardy. mountain guide the surface pro 4 is the most powerful computer i've ever used everything that i do is really fast, and this is the best tool for running my business.

behalf of the united states to lift the siege or even use its influence to push the parties to protect civilians. russian air strikes helping regime forces have decimated aleppo. hospitals are a frequent target. the doctors write, last month there were 42 attacks on medical facilities in syria and 15 of which are hospitals in which we work. right now there is an attack on a medical facility every 17 hours. at this rate our medical services in aleppo could be completely destroyed in a month, leaving 300,000 people to die. what pains us most as doctors is choosing who will live and who will die. >> imagine you are trying to work in a hospital with no clean water, no electricity, no medical supplies and all those civilian victims coming over? >> the doctors' urgent appeal comes as the u.s. is investigating another poisonous attack in the neighborhood in aleppo. chilling footage shows victims in the hospital as aid workers sift through the rubble.

from rush a the u.s. bears some of the responsibility here, wolf. >> elise labott at the state department. thank you. i want to dig deeper with our correspondent clarissa ward. you were in aleppo a few months ago and you gave a speech to the united nations security council about the situation there, alongside two of the doctors that delivered the letter to the white house. what else can you tell us about this horrible situation in aleppo? >> wolf, what i always tell people is i first went to aleppo in the summer of 2012 and i thought this is hell on earth. this situation cannot get any worse and every time i go back to syria it does get worse and on this most recent trip there were entire areas that looked like the moon. there was nothing but gray rubble, destruction all around. many, many people displaced from their homes. people dying every single day, hospitals, bakeries, fruit markets being targeted by
relentless bombardment and here we are a couple of months later and the situation has gotten worse because the rebel-held part of the city has been under siege by the regime for nearly a month and the doctors who wrote that letter they don't have life support machines, they don't have ct scanners. they don't have oxygen for babies. they don't have good water to use, even. they don't have diesel that powers the generators that keeps those hospitals running. so you're looking at a humanitarian crisis here, and it doesn't seem that the world is really listening, wolf? >> so how much frustration is there on the ground toward the united states? >> there's a huge amount of frustration because people feel like they've been calling for years now for some kind of help. they feel that the u.s. is the one country that has the ability to stand up to the russians, to the iranians and to the assad regime. the reality, of course, on the ground is that the u.s. has very little leverage in syria. it simply doesn't have, wolf,
any skin in the game. so it's very limited in terms of how much it can dictate terms to russia and the regime of bashar al assad who is spending hundreds of millions in blood and freshure in keeping the assad regime going and the u.s. is limited as to what they can do and for people on the ground in syria, what you will hear again and again, inaction is a form of consequences, too, and by doing nothing to avert these massacres you are, in fact, complicit in these war crimes, wolf. >> so what the united states can do right now is very limited? is that what i'm hearing? >> with the current white house policy with regards to syria, there is very little that the u.s. can do to influence events on the ground. there are many other policy courses of action that president obama could have chosen to take, but you've heard him say over and over again that he feels pretty confident in the situation that he did take. the irony in all of this, wolf
is the people who have become heros on the ground are the islamist rebel factions who have the siege in aleppo. >> clarissa ward, thanks very much for that report. a horrific situation in aleppo and elsewhere in syria, as well. >> thanks for watching. erin burnett "out front" starts right now. out front next, donald trump digs in saying president obama is the founder of isis literally. will he back down tonight? new details about the relationship between hillary clinton's state department and the clinton foundation. did it cross the line? an exclusive investigation. and donald trump's spiritual adviser on how he battles his inner demons. our interview. let's go "out front." ♪ >> good evening. i'm erin burnett. we begin "out front" tonight with the breaking news. donald trump about to take the stage at a rally in florida expected to

When to Implement The Lead Carpenter System?
By Shawn McCadden
Certified Remodeler, Certified Lead Carpenter
Many contractors have asked me what volume of sales they should achieve before they implement the Lead Carpenter System. Like many other business decisions, it depends upon the reason you want to do it, but it also depends upon the company and the current condition of that company’s business systems. Without that information, answering the question based on assumptions could lead to disaster. Unless you and your company are properly prepared, failure of the Lead Carpenter System might be blamed on the system itself, rather than the business systems that are required to support it. The key is to adjust your business practices to support a true Lead Carpenter System, not adjust the lead Carpenter System to work within your existing business systems.
Get Your Support Systems Ready
Typically, as a professional remodeling company grows, it must constantly change and improve its business systems and procedures. To be successful requires the attention and awareness of the business owner or manager in keeping up with the anticipated and unforeseen realities of that growth. Some systems may become inadequate if they were designed to serve the old company’s way of doing business. These systems can occasionally be modified, but in most cases they require complete replacement or drastic re-design.
Some systems may not yet exist within the business and may become new requirements to successfully support growth. For most companies, the challenge is to be proactive about the changes so you can be prepared. Unfortunately, too many companies grow faster than the owner’s ability, vision or sometimes commitment to be prepared for the growth.
In reactive mode, it is difficult to find the time to create and implement the changes. Too much time is spent putting out the fires and dealing with the problems created due to the lack of that preplanning.
Think Profit Before Volume!
I don’t believe the decision to implement a lead carpenter system should be based on current volume, but do agree it is often the reason companies finally decide to do so. An overwhelming backlog of work and/or low profit seems to generate a desire to finally do something about how the actual work is produced. A better reason is to achieve a greater volume at a higher profit, right away! I suggest you implement the system to improve the efficiency and profitability at your current volume, regardless of what it is, before you plan to grow.
It could take a year or two to implement, but your patience might be rewarded in a variety of ways. During implementation at my company, I discovered four great reasons to use this approach.
- First, you will be making more money doing the same amount of work you’re already able to complete. (Perhaps, after discovering this option, you’ll decide not to increase volume!)
- Second, you’ll have the opportunity to save that money as a way of financing the planned growth.
- Third, you will be prepared for quick growth without sacrificing profit.
- Fourth, if your system is in place and tested, you will have more time to deal with the other issues related to growth.
When Will It Pay Off In Personal And Financial Benefits?
Use of the “already tested” system at my company increased our 1996 sales volume of $980,000 with a total of 8 office and field employees to a 2000 sales volume of $1,700,000 with still only 8 employees. During this time net profit margins remained the same 10% plus each year. The Lead Carpenter System is one of the many co-dependent systems that were implemented to prepare for growth, accomplish that growth, and to this day continues to support the current company structure for the new owner. Although every other business system we used was important and needed, next to our sales system, perhaps the best choice of systems to implement was the Lead Carpenter System for our production needs.
True use of the system shifts most of the project management directly to the lead in the field. The bonus to this plan at my company was the fact that I was no longer involved as an employee, and had the time and energy to pursue other interests.
Best Time to Implement
Overall, my best answer is to implement when you start your company. Initiating the company using the Lead Carpenter System allows the system to grow with the company, and when done well, the company grows because of the system. If the business owner understands and is committed to the Lead Carpenter concept before he/she opens the business, all of the other systems required of that business will somehow be influenced by and incorporate considerations to support lead carpenters.
My observation is that by operating in this manner, the system can evolve by default. Because it’s the only system being used right from the start, every success and failure can contribute to correcting or reinforcing your plan. If you’re working for another company and thinking about busting out on your own, you could take advantage of this option. Unfortunately, particularly for many of you who might be reading this article, this is not an option because you have already been in business for some time. If you think back about how your business got started, don’t you wish you started the Lead Carpenter System then?
Never Stop Implementing
Implementation of the system is an ongoing effort. Even if your system is the best you have observed in the industry, there is always room and the need for improvement. Products and building codes change, clients and subs come and go; the economy and demand for remodeling can swing very quickly.
Make it a point to have all employees observe the performance of the system and then share their opinions and suggestions. Your supporting business systems should provide you with the historic information needed to qualify the performance of your plan as well as your options for improvements.
Discuss those options with other remodelers you respect. Perhaps, as in my case, as you step back from the day-to-day operations of the business, your employees will become responsible for identifying and implementing changes.

People I had to stop myself from asking what they thought of the Fleabag finale this morning: the postman, the construction workers outside my house, and every single person on the train to work. Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s first creation has departed our screens with a conclusive little wave, leaving us electrified by a heartbreak that feels total, but also – unlike those induced by the loss of her mother and best friend – like the start of stronger foundations.
I don’t know if I’ll ever work out what I loved about it so much – surrendering to someone else’s vision is such pure pleasure that attempting to dismantle it feels almost like self-sabotage – but I think it’s tied into grappling with those things you want even though you know you shouldn’t; the constant temptation of the self-destruct button, and the brief moment of untrammelled pleasure it would induce before the chaos reigned.
Whatever feeling you got from it, our culture writers’ tips of what to read, watch and listen to post-Fleabag should sustain those heady sensations – or at least tide you over until you binge the full six-hour run again this weekend. Laura Snapes
Without a doubt, In at the Deep End, by Kate Davies, is the afterparty book for anyone looking to extend their Fleabag fun. Newly published, Davies’ book is raucous, sexy, poignant and smart, and is definitely the most fun you will have with lesbian BDSM short of doing it yourself. In a similar vein, American actor and comedian Tiffany Haddish’s memoir, The Last Black Unicorn, is easily the most extraordinary celebrity memoir I’ve read in some time, and its mix of jawdropping sexual anecdotes with real personal pain has a Fleabag flavour.
Animals by Emma Jane Unsworth is the best thing I’ve read on female friendship in years, full of chaos and love and self-destruction. As for TV, Fleabag’s most obvious antecedent is 1983’s ridiculously enjoyable The Thorn Birds, adapted from Colleen McCollough’s pot-boiler novel, with its tale of forbidden love with a priest. On the stage, Betrayal is currently on at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London, starring Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton, and while not exactly heavy on the laughs, its sense of impending self-inflicted doom has a certain Fleabag tang.
The defining feature of this season of Fleabag is yearning – a lost art in a world where every desire can be pretty much instantaneously gratified. So in film I’d nominate Brokeback Mountain, in which the love between two Wyoming cowboys cannot ever be fully or publicly realised; in books, Edith Wharton’s Ethan Frome, about the growing attraction between a married man and his wife’s cousin Mattie who comes to stay to help him look after his ailing wife. And if you haven’t got enough time for a whole book or film, then the four lines of AE Housman’s poem “He would not stay for me, and who could wonder” will be enough to slay you.
Muriel Spark was high priestess of flawed, funny, female first-person narrators. And A Far Cry From Kensington’s Mrs Hawkins – a young, fat war widow with a pragmatic approach to sex and withering zingers about her crap beaus and seriously weird colleagues – is Spark’s absolute queen. Few novels could be quite as quick or filthy, sexy or soapy as the second series of Fleabag, but this is a good place for those in mourning to find refuge – it even comes with lashings of Catholic angst.
Waller-Bridge’s character may use sex to distract from the “screaming void”, but look past the will-she won’t-she (spoiler: she did!) with the hot priest if you can, and Fleabag is really about meaningful connection – not just the question of how to find it, but also the more fundamental one of what it is. It’s very hard to search for something if you don’t know what it looks like. In her debut novel, The Pisces, Melissa Broder posits: what if The One was a merman? Stay with me. Longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction against Sally Rooney’s Normal People, I found The Pisces much more relatable in its depiction of sex, in spite of the ludicrous premise. Look past the protagonist Lucy’s can-she can’t-she with the hot merman, and all of modernity’s myriad possible paths to relationships are on display: therapy, divorce, hook-up apps, and even what might be – if you squint a bit – a happy, well-functioning relationship. You might find yourself agreeing that, given the options, you’d go for the merman, too – and the ending is a brilliant payoff.
Two neurotic sisters: one charming, flailing and hellbent on “rescuing” her uptight, driven and thoroughly conventional twin from a wedding she intends to wreck. A dead mother and a reclusive father. Middle-class trappings, attempted suicide. Dorothy Baker wrote Cassandra at the Wedding in 1962, but – California setting aside – it’s an uncanny analog for Waller-Bridge’s creation. Just like Fleabag, Cassandra is reprehensible in many ways but you can’t help but root for her. Gail Parent’s cult 1972 novel, Sheila Levine Is Dead and Living in New York, puts a mordant twist on a young woman’s failure, bluntness and nihilism, themes that Jami Attenberg’s 2017 novel All Grown Up celebrates in her defiantly unmarried 39-year-old Andrea. Beyond books, Claudia Weill’s 1978 film, Girlfriends, centres on its young female protagonist’s lack of direction, illicit relationships with religious figures and a climactic art exhibition, and themes of self-abasement and sex-as-power have always littered St Vincent’s music.
Forget The Priest picking God – if there’s one thing that summed up the emotional sucker punch of this series, it was this seemingly simple statement uttered by Claire about her sister: “The only person I’d run through an airport for is you.” Right from Fleabag’s opening episode outburst that spared Claire the agony of having to announce her miscarriage, they embodied the awe, the awfulness and the lie-down-in-traffic protective power of sibling love. Jill Soloway’s Transparent (returning on Amazon Prime for the last time later this year), even after misconduct allegations against its lead Jeffrey Tambor, is similarly stunning television that comes with elevated emotional intelligence, all the messy beauty and pain of family and sexual politics – especially between Sarah, Josh and Ali Pfefferman – plus characters who are across the board loveable … even if you’re not sure you like them most of the time.
It’s astonishing that flawed, complex female protagonists are still such a rarity, but happily there are some precedents. Desiree Akhavan’s debut feature Appropriate Behaviour (2015) saw Iranian-American protagonist Shirin coming to terms with her bisexuality; cue a breakup, drinking alone in bars, and an ill-judged threesome. It has a bittersweet tone, switching between ironic detachment and genuinely heartrending scenes. Told through Shirin’s very personal lens, it captures something universal about millennial ennui and lack of direction.
Two and a bit decades before Waller-Bridge swaggered into the historically blokey terrain of primetime TV comedy, Liz Phair did something similar in the male-dominated dive bars and DIY venues of US alternative rock. It’s probably a stretch to suggest that Fleabag herself would have had Phair’s debut 1991 Exile in Guyville on rotation in her formative years, but the album possesses the same air of fourth-wall-breaking confessional as Waller-Bridge’s creation: sexually frank, psychologically candid and possessed of a withering, detached, kill-you-from-10-paces wit. Indeed, you could easily imagine the album’s terrific centrepiece Fuck and Run, a fiercely honest account of post-one-night-stand ennui, being delivered during one of Fleabag’s trademark turns to camera.
Ariel Levy’s writing often shares Fleabag’s tragicomic DNA. The New Yorker writer’s gut-wrenching account of dealing with a miscarriage by herself in Mongolia is – as you might expect – light on laughs, but it shows a writer able to weave her own life and perceived missteps into incredible storytelling. Her tale of taking ayahuasca in New York could comprise a perfect Fleabag episode – middle-class white people acting bizarrely, lots of potential for physical comedy and just a dash of pathos.
For anyone wanting to further explore the darker depths of female sexuality, Adele by Leïla Slimani is a slim but shocking look at sex addiction and the unsettling antipathy some women can feel towards sex. On the lighter end of the scale, Conversations With Friends and Normal People by Sally Rooney also depict women struggling with the balance of power in their sexual and romantic lives. For readers searching for more of Waller-Bridge’s irreverent and filthy humour, the works of poet Patricia Lockwood, particularly her memoir Priestdaddy, are fantastically funny and often saucy. Nina Stibbe’s informal trilogy of novels – Man at the Helm, Paradise Lodge and Reasons to Be Cheerful – are great examples of similarly caustic, British wit: Stibbe’s Lizzy Vogel is about half a bottle of red wine away from Fleabag – if with better taste in men.
If it’s the bludgeoning thwack of Fleabag’s honesty you’ll miss, Jessie Cave’s overall output should do the trick. While lightyears ahead of the character in terms of emotional transparency, she articulates the turbulence of yearning for a rotten relationship and the thorny reality of adult life with similar fervour. Her social media and web shorts provide a quick fix of her funny, frantic voice too. With hopeless visits to a therapist, disastrous attempts at romance/scenic forest walks and permanently caked in last night’s mascara, Roisin Conaty’s character Marcella in sitcom GameFace is also spawned from the same gene pool as Fleabag. Almost certainly willing to stand by the proclamation that hair really is everything, Marcella is a jobbing actor who’s in debt, not over her ex and living in a flatshare. Returning to Channel 4 this year, it’s way funnier than the raft of “blokes in flatshare” sitcoms that have filled up primetime TV for the past decade.
Deborah Levy’s “living memoirs” (of which she has written two so far) are at times devastatingly brutal about the female experience. Her sharpness of pen reminds me of Waller-Bridge. Particularly the bit in Things I Don’t Want to Know where she writes about women who become mothers as “shadows of our former selves, chased by the women we used to be before we had children.” I think of childless women, like me and Fleabag, when she continues: “We didn’t really know what to do with her, this fierce, independent young woman who followed us about, shouting and pointing the finger while we wheeled our buggies in the English rain.”
What other TV, films and books would you recommend to Fleabag fans? Please add yours in the comments below.

Back in the summer of 1982, Dr. Russ Willemin D.C., opened Willemin Chiropractic in Portland. The office and the sign has been at the corner of Grand River and East for a long time. Since opening, it has been a staple of the community, having helped literally thousands of local residents get out of pain and have better lives. A couple of months ago, it was decided that Willemin Chiropractic would be changing its name. As of the December 28th, the old sign faces were taken down and new ones put up in their place. As of January 1, 2018, the business will have a new name. It will now be known as Portland Family Chiropractic.
Dr. Willemin recently sold the business to Dr. Jason Williamson, who has been practicing here since 2013. Dr. Jason decided a change of name would be good, and since his last name is so similar to Willemin, he thought adding Portland in the name would be good, to easily distinguish where we are located. Dr. Jason said, “With my last name of Williamson, several people have asked me if I was Dr. Willemin’s son or if we were related. Confusion like that will hopefully be avoided with the name change. I also do not use my last name much in the office, instead I prefer Dr. Jason.”
For those wondering or worried things will change in Portland’s oldest, busiest, and most liked chiropractic office, there is nothing at all to worry about. When asked about that, Dr. Jason stated, “Nothing is changing except the name. Same great doctors, same great team, same great care! All 3 doctors are remaining on staff, including myself (Dr. Jason), Dr. Willemin, and Dr. Jennifer Culp. We will be open the same days and hours, and offering the best chiropractic care and massages in our wonderful town of Portland.”

My sister and bridesmaids are planning my henny and I have no idea what. .I do know it''s not traveling anywhere as we stay on a small island. Is anyone else having there girls planning there henny in secret lol I'm a tad nervous.
Im not as I think I would be a nervous wreck but if they know you well I am sure it will be lovely. Good luck x
Nope I planned mine I did not want any surprises x
I'm too much of a control freak to cope with that. I've given my chief bridesmaid lots of ideas and I'm sure nearer the time we will work out what's best x
Yep! I've let my sister plan mine. All I know is that we are going abroad but I don't need any clothes?!?! I didn't want the hassle of organising everyone so left them to it!!
I'm a MASSIVE control freak and although I knew where and when my hen was, that was it. I didn't know what was planned etc. I was so nervous I didn't sleep the night before but as soon as I got there and saw everything they had done for me, I was so overwhelmed I spent most of the weekend crying happy tears!! I was so so happy with what they'd done, it made me realise I don't have to plan everything for it to be good! Good luck with yours! If they know you well enough, it'll be great! x
I am a massive control freak and my sister and sister in law are planning it but my sister can't keep a secret so I know what's happening lol. It's hard o relax when it's for you.

President Ronald Reagan. You either loved or despised him. A leading conservative, President Reagan opposed Medicare, the Food Stamp Program, the Peace Corps, and raising the minimum wage. Originally an actor, the 40th President of the United States sought to gain "peace through strength." You can learn all about this and more at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley, California, and while visiting, grab a pint of Guinness at the Ronald Reagan Irish Pub.
The Ronald Reagan Irish Pub
During the end of his first term, Reagan and his wife Nancy, made a diplomatic trip to Ireland to visit the country his great-grandfather had been born in as well as shake hands with Irish citizens. The President ended up in the small village of Ballyporeen in the county of Tipperary where the US President stopped in at O'Farrell's Pub to grab a drink and meet with a few of the locals. John and Mary O'Farrell were fans of the President and had actually previously named a room in their hundred-year-old operation the Ronald Reagan Salon. Photographs were taken to celebrate their visit.
Shortly after Reagan's death in 2004, Frederick J. Ryan, Jr., chairman of the board of trustees of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Foundation traveled to Ireland and the O'Farrell's Pub as a sentimental trip. However, to his horror, the pub was completely boarded up. John and Mary O'Farrell were getting ready to sell the pub piece by piece when Ryan offered to buy the whole pub for $100,000. The entire interior was dismantled (bar and all!) and shipped to California to become the Ronald Reagan Pub which sits under the wings of Reagan's retired Air Force One.
Along with Guinness, the bar also serves salads, sandwiches, and assorted snacks.
Visit the Ronald Reagan Irish Pub at 40 Presidential Drive, Simi Valley, California.

G. Modiano Ltd. is one of the world’s pre-eminent wool traders and processors. The company traces its origin back to 1875, although the company which exists today was founded by Jo (Giuseppe) Modiano in 1957, and is the largest producer of wool tops in the world.
As an organisation, Modiano are very paper intensive. Their shipping process, in particular, generates large amounts of documentation for Customs and hauliers. The majority of which are paper files that need to be manually stamped. If any of these documents are missing, it could result in shipments being detained or delayed, so it’s critical to the business that they can always find the documents they need at the right time.
Modiano needed a way of storing all of their documentation securely in one place, and making it easily available to colleagues across the group.

Opponents of planned Louisiana pipeline document 144 pipeline accidents in 2016
A new pipeline battle is shaping up in the United States – this time in Louisiana. Ahead of a Thursday public hearing on the proposed Bayou Bridge pipeline, environmentalists and corporate accountability activists have compiled a map of all reported pipeline accidents in Louisiana over the past year – more than 140 in all. Shannon Young has more.
Opponents of a pipeline slated to run across southern Louisiana say they can’t afford to bear the human and environmental costs of more fossil fuel infrastructure, citing the frequency of accidents in the state’s existing network of pipelines. They point to the 144 pipeline accidents reported to federal authorities in 2016. Anne Rolfes of the Louisiana Bucket Brigade says nearly half of those accidents are attributable to holes, corrosion and a general lack of maintenance of the infrastructure.
“Louisiana has a catastrophic pipeline infrastructure already. The regulatory agencies are not able to adequately regulate our current pipeline network,” Rolfes explains. “And so, there should be no permitting of new pipelines.”
The Louisiana Bucket Brigade, an NGO watchdog of the petrochemical industry in the state, has just released its latest so-called Disaster Map of pipeline accidents based on reports filed with the federal government’s National Response Center. Rolfes says she worries that this type of public information may become more difficult to obtain under the incoming Trump administration.
The fossil fuel industry is a significant player in Louisiana’s economy and many calls for increased regulation of it are met with arguments that stricter enforcement could be a job killer. But Renate Heurich of 350 Louisiana says the flood-prone state could create employment opportunities by investing in renewable alternatives.
“In Louisiana, in the Gulf, we have adequate wind to build wind farms, just like it was done in Rhode Island,” Heurich points out. “We have the work force that would be capable of building the platforms for those wind turbines. So we’re not even talking about cutting jobs. There are jobs out there that could be created.”
The release of the new report detailing last year’s more than 140 pipeline accidents in Louisiana comes just two days ahead of the public meeting on the proposed Bayou Bridge pipeline. LBB’s Rolfes says these meetings are usually procedural affairs, but that locals now are energized by the example of opposition to the Dakota Access pipeline.
“You know, in my experience, these public hearings are something done just to satisfy some angry people and they don’t consider the comments at all and just go ahead and do what they want,” says Rolfes. “In this case, they can ignore the comments if they want and permit this pipeline. I can promise you they will have a real fight on their hands. It’s pretty interesting the way that this part of the world has been awakened because of what’s happened in North Dakota and the fight over that pipeline.”

JL: Mr. Wood, why don't we start with how your family came to Oregon?
GW: Well, our family on my mother's side--of course, many years ago-crossed thePlains in a covered wagon and settled in southern Oregon.
JL: What was their name?
GW: Their name was Gregory. I can't tell you exactly when the family settled inthe Medford area in Jackson County, but when they did arrive, the Gregory's raised four daughters and two sons, and my mother was one of the Gregory's. My father came from Indiana. I really don't know for sure where my mother and 1:00father met, but they were married in southern Oregon.
JL: Do you know why the Gregory family came to Oregon?
GW: I do not know that, no. I wish I did, but I don't.
JL: And why they settled in the Medford area?
GW: I think they came out to find a better opportunity in the "go west" periodof the history of our country.
JL: Did you know your mother's parents?
GW: Yes. Yes, I knew my grandfather and my grandmother very well, and I canremember them. They were very wonderful people. I never did know the grandparents on my father's side because I lost my father when I was about six years old, and so after that it was not possible for me to learn anything about them. 2:00
JL: What do you remember about your mother's parents?
GW: Well, my grandfather was very strict, stern--basically a farmer. He was avery tall, stately gentleman with a flowing white beard; and he was a very kind man, but a very stern and strict individual of the old religious school. That's pretty much what I remember about him. My grandmother outlived him. She enjoyed a very full life and she was a fine, charming lady, very gracious and very, very 3:00tolerant of children which, of course, we were at the time.
JL: Did your grandparents live with your family?
GW: Well, they lived in Medford where I was born. My mother and father lived inMedford for many years, and then after I lost my father, my mother stayed in Medford and worked. We rented a home almost across the street from where my grandparents lived so we were over there frequently.
JL: What religion were your grandparents?
GW: I don't remember. I don't remember what their faith was.4:00
JL: They were Christians?
GW: Oh, yes. But I don't remember what the particular faith was. So that waspretty much our background.
JL: Do you know how your mother and father met in Medford? No,
GW: I do not. No, I do not.
JL: What year were your mother and father married?
GW: I'd have to look that up in the family Bible. If I had realized that thisquestion might come I could have prepared for it. It's in the family Bible, I'm sure, but I don't remember.
JL: What did your father do?
GW: My father was in the real estate and property development business. We had a5:00very nice home in Medford and that home where I was born is still there. I was about five or six years old when this my father's death] happened. I have a very sketchy knowledge about him and his background. Later on my mother remarried, and that's when we moved to Corvallis in the 1920s.
JL: You don't know how your father became interested in real estate?
GW: No, I do not. In fact, I have tried to trace the genealogy of the family at6:00the National Archives office in Seattle; but I was only there for a couple of hours, and I wasn't well enough aware of how one used the system to have accomplished very much in that two-hour period. Once I get back up there and start searching the past why I'm sure I can run across the family. I know my father came from Indiana, but I don't have any family history beyond that; and so I had to go through every Wood family in the National Archives records of the 7:00census of 1890 and 1850 to try to find a trace of the family, and I wasn't able to establish that.
JL: Was your mother educated when she was young?
GW: Yes, she was a high school graduate. But none of the family went beyond highschool at that time.
JL: What kind of things did you do with your mother when you were small in Medford?
GW: Well, I was a typical child. I went to school and I enjoyed making thingsand playing as all children did. For example, there were big trees in our 8:00backyard, so one of the enjoyable things was to find some old steel cable one end of which we could locate on a high part of the tree, and the other end of it on the corner of the barn, and we had a little roller or little pulley that fastened around the chain with a T-handle on it. We would climb the tree and pull that little pulley up with the rope, and just step off of the limb and ride 9:00the cable down to the corner of the barn. That was the big sport that we had. The other thing we enjoyed doing was living near the railroad tracks. Medford was an important railroad junction and in those days there were probably twenty to thirty trains a day each way. And so we enjoyed watching the trains go by; and we'd walk the tracks down to the engine shops they had there, and then we would play on the equipment; do that sort of thing. 10:00
JL: What did the engineers think of that?
GW: Well, of course, if we got in their way, they were very much disturbed, butas long as we didn't bother anything they were very good to us. They didn't mind our climbing up and down the boxcars and various other types of cars. Medford at that time was and still is, a very important fruit growing area; and one of the things we used to do was to go to the Medford Ice and Cold Storage Company warehouse, where they made ice and loaded the refrigerator cars with shipments of pears and apples out of the Medford area. We enjoyed watching them load the cars. 11:00
JL: How did they make the ice?
GW: It was in a mechanical process. They would make the ice into a rectangularshape about a foot thick--it was about two feet high and about four feet long--and they would make it into just a kind of a slab. These were made in tanks and then just surrounded by refrigerant--just like we make ice cubes today. And then these big cakes of ice would be moved by conveyor to a loading 12:00platform and dropped in the refrigeration compartments of these refrigerator cars. And, of course, as kids, we always liked to have some ice to play with. When they would unload the cars, there would be a watermelon or some other fruit that would be damaged in some way, cut, so they would often give that to us. That was another temptation. Of course, we made our own toys, and our life was a 13:00very modest one.
JL: What did your mother think of your playing at the railroad yards?
GW: She didn't like it. It was a safety factor, and she was afraid that somehowwe would get hurt. You know, kids did walk down the tracks, and those trains when they came would move very fast, and she was always afraid we wouldn't get off the tracks. She worried about it. But it was just part of the life. Of course, we had fewer organized recreation programs then than we have now.
JL: How many brothers and sisters did you have?
GW: I have one sister.
JL: And what is her name?
GW: Her name is Eleanor. She's younger14:00
JL: Would you take your sister with you to do these things?
GW: Not very often because there were so many boys that, at that time, it wasmore convenient to play with other boys. I had a cousin who lived just down the street; this was my mother's sister's son. He was a little older than I so the two of us did a lot of things. He would build kites, and I would build a kite, and we would fly the kites; and we did those kinds of things much as young people do today.
JL: You mentioned that your grandfather was a farmer. Did he grow fruit?
GW: No. Grandfather was more, what I would call a dirt farmer rather than anorchardist. He lived to be a very old gentleman, and when I really knew him he 15:00was probably kind of semi-retired and didn't do very much work at the time.
JL: Do you remember discussing politics in your family?
GW: No, I don't remember that we did. My father, being in the real estatebusiness and development, was gone some of the time, and as a result of this our family life was a little more sketchy than the average family where the father was a seven-to-six employee or an eight-to-five employee. He traveled quite a bit working on different projects so we didn't have quite the average family 16:00life. And then, up to five or six years of age, there isn't very much that happened. Most of what one remembers, I think, nappe after that because before that you're growing up, and you're young, and you haven't established much in the way of a set of values; that begins to come along a little later. So, I don't know too much about family life at that time, unfortunately.
JL: What do you remember of Jacksonville?
GW: Well, Jacksonville was a very interesting town at the time. There was asmall railroad train that ran from Medford to Jacksonville, and as a youngster I became quite well-acquainted with the engineer of that train. 17:00
JL: Because of your playing activities there?
GW: Yes. He used to let me ride in the engine compartment of the train and pullthe cord that rang the bell on the engine from Medford to Jacksonville. So I was over there often. When I wasn't in school, I rode with him as frequently as I could. It was something to do. In addition, of course, I had a paper route. I grew out of those things as I got a little older. But Jacksonville was a busy town. It was a thriving town and had a little railroad came right into downtown Medford; it just ran from Medford to Jacksonville and back, and hauled freight 18:00and all the passengers.
JL: What do you think of the restoration of Jacksonville now?
GW: I'm impressed with it. I think they've done a very, very nice job. Themuseum there is fine. Is your home in southern Oregon by chance?
JL: No, I've visited there. I'm impressed with the historical preservation andRestoration of the area.
GW: Well, I am too!
JL: Do you think the reconstruction is authentic?
GW: I think so. It's hard to attain real authenticity; when you reestablishsomething you have the tendency to reestablish it in a little more finished form than most of us remember it, you know. The hotel, for example, where they have 19:00rooms where Mrs. Wood and I have stayed overnight is nice, but it's established in the more modern sense. If you were to go back to Jacksonville when I knew Jacksonville--we used to go over there occasionally and play some pranks, as young people would--and then see Jacksonville today and what everyone else sees 20:00in it, it's not quite the same. But they've done a very creditable job of preserving it; but the roads are different, and the buildings are different, but it's acceptable.
JL: You were born in 1909, is that correct?
GW: 1909, right.
JL: What was the major form of transportation for your family?
GW: My father had an automobile and, of course, we went everywhere in that. Hewas fortunate in having an early automobile--we were one of the few people who had one--but he sort of needed it in his business. He had a 1909 Jackson; it was a nice car and it was an expensive car, and we went around in that. Then after we lost my father, of course, we didn't have an automobile and so, when we went 21:00any place, we could go by stage or I had a bicycle - or we walked most of the time.
JL: What were people's reactions to your family's car?
GW: Well, it was somewhat of a novelty at that time. I guess you could say theywould stare. They were interested as people are when any novelty or something new like that comes along. We never did have a horse and buggy; it was always an automobile. My grandfather did not have a car; but I believe he did have a horse 22:00and buggy. It was, of course, a much less active society then than now, and the bicycle was extremely important. But there were more cars coming along. My first job of any real consequence was working on a delivery truck for the grocer. The grocer delivered groceries in a Model-T food pickup truck, an open-body vehicle about half-way between a pickup truck and a truck. I would go down to the store 23:00after school and I would help him then. We'd load up all the groceries and we'd put them in little wooden boxes. He would drive the vehicle, and my job as an assistant was to take the box of groceries up to the porch and knock on the door; and, when the lady came, I would carry the groceries inside, take them out of the box and put them on her counter, and carry the box back and put it in the little Ford truck.
JL: How did you know what groceries the woman wanted?
GW: The woman would call in by telephone, or she would let him know-but usuallyby telephone--and he would fill the order--take them out. Most of the time, this 24:00was on a monthly-account billing. At least with the man I worked for, Saturday was the big day; I worked all day Saturday instead of just after school.
JL: What grocery store was this?
GW: I don't remember. That's too long ago.
JL: This was in Medford?
GW: In Medford, yes.
JL: Do you remember the name of the man you worked for?
GW: No, I don't. I should have kept a diary, I guess. As I look back on it now,I think of the many times when it would be interesting to have done two things: one was to have taken some photographs; and secondly, to have kept something of a diary which I did not do. And so I have not retained much of this, which is unfortunate. 25:00
JL: Was your mother ever employed?
GW: Oh, yes. The only way we got along as a family was that I worked afterschool I had a paper route and then she worked as a bookkeeper in a business in Medford. The business she worked for in Medford was known as the May Company, as I recall it. It was a department store and she worked there for many years.
JL: Was it uncommon for women with children to work?
GW: Well, of course, women worked then in clerical positions much as they donow; they worked in secretarial and office positions much as they do now. But, 26:00for the most part, women did not work as is currently the case today, and they did not seek the higher and more managerial and influential positions that women today aspire to and obtain. So it was quite different.
JL: What kind of hobbies did you have as a child in Medford?
GW: Well, I was always fascinated by automobiles and machinery. I enjoyed this,and I guess this is part of the reason that I used to walk down to the railroads yards and look at the trains, and why I became friendly with an engineer of a 27:00little railroad between Medford and Jacksonville. I guess it explains why I used to get on my bike and ride out to the gasoline bulk plant, called the Associated Oil Company at that time.
JL: Gasoline Bulk Company?
GW: Bulk plant. It's a gasoline distributing plant. We call them bulk plants.That's where the oil comes in, and gasoline comes in, in bulk. It came in a tank car then, instead of pipelines as it does mostly today. And then these bulk plants would wholesale it out to the various users--service stations and so on. When I was not in school, I enjoyed riding my bicycle several miles out of town to the bulk plant. I'd made friends with the driver of one of the Associated Oil 28:00Company's tank trucks. He had a big solid-tire Peerless truck that had the tank on it and he would let me ride with this tank truck from Medford to Ashland while he made various deliveries at Central Point, Talent, so on. And so that was always an experience. The big truck had a speed of about eleven miles an 29:00hour and then, after I had ridden with him, oh, dozens of times, he would slide over in the seat and let me steer it.
JL: How old were you?
GW: I was probably then about ten, which was much too young to do what I did,but he was a very generous individual and he could discern my interest in vehicles. So, I had a long-time early interest in automobiles. And it still continues today.
JL: What do you remember about the logging operations around that area?
GW: Nothing. I didn't have any contact with them and I don't remember much aboutthem. We just didn't have the organized recreational programs back 56 years ago 30:00that we have today.
JL: Most of your free time then was working on your paper route...
GW: I worked on the paper route; and I worked every night and Saturdays at thegrocery store as a delivery boy. It was important that I work. I didn't make very much, but what little I made helped the family put me through school. I had to buy my own shoes and my mother just could not earn enough money to support us all, so I had to earn all that I could from my paper route and it was fun. 31:00
JL: So when did your mother remarry?
GW: Oh, gracious.
JL: How old were you at the time?
GW: I was finishing grade school when this happened. It was at that time that we32:00moved to Corvallis.
JL: You moved with your new father?
JL: And what year was that, do you remember?
GW: As I recall, it was 1922. I was just finishing up grade school because Iknow that I did attend Central School here in Corvallis. I graduated from Central School, and then I went on and graduated from Corvallis High School.
JL: What was your stepfather's name?
GW: His name was Douglas.
JL: And what did he do then?33:00
GW: He was an upholsterer. He ran an upholstering business.
JL: Why did he come to Corvallis?
GW: I don't really know why he came here. I just don't know what motivated this.
JL: Do you recall anything about the World War I years? How did they affect your life?
GW: Well, yes, I remember something about the war years because we had amilitary base at Medford. It was located south of town and we had a fleet of 34:00aircraft there. I guess the reason that I know a little bit about it was that my mother's sister became acquainted with one of the servicemen at that base and they were subsequently married. I can remember the airbase; I used to ride out there on my bike when I had free time, because I was fascinated by airplanes too. The aircraft that they had at the airbase at that time were, of course, bi-winged, two wings, and they were powered by de Havilland engines. It was just 35:00fascinating to me to be out there and see these planes come and go. These were very slow planes; the air mail service, as I recall, was just getting underway, but we had this base there. And I can remember troop trains coming through Medford. They were either going enroute to California, or coming from California into the Oregon area, into Portland and Seattle, probably for embarkation 36:00overseas. But I remember the troop trains.
JL: What was the attitude of the townspeople toward the military personnel?
GW: They were very tolerant about it. The people at the airbase were nicepeople. The air force at that time was more of an elite division and they had pretty high-class people; and they were well accepted. The townspeople liked them; they always spent good money and I guess they spent most of everything that they earned. It was not a major factor, but it was a factor in the 37:00community at that time.
JL: Do you remember your impressions when you saw your first airplane?
GW: Oh, yes, I was thrilled when I saw the first one and realized that thisengine, running a little propeller, pulling a very flimsily-made structure, could move a man through the air. And, of course, there were a lot of accidents at the Medford airbase; several of the pilots were killed coming in, landing, and going. But it was fascinating to see the people fly. 38:00
JL: Then your first planes were seen at the airbase?
GW: That's really the first ones that I remember much about, and, of course,that brought in a great deal of activity. It was just fascinating to me to get out there to see them take off and see them land. And, again, I guess, this is part of my interest in mechanical things of that kind. I'd spend as much time out there as I could, and I was always interested in picking up little parts of airplanes. The landing gear was all made of wood; and in order to give some flexibility, they would wind two pieces with a heavy cord made of rubber 39:00strands; and as the landing gear would come down, it would stretch this cord out and would give it some cushion, like a hydraulic mechanism operates today; and, of course, I enjoyed that. I enjoyed getting a piece of the rubber cord that was the size between a dime and a nickel, and bringing it home; I could play with it as a youngster and, of course, trade it for something else that some other youngster had that I wanted (chuckles).
JL: What were your feelings when you had to leave Medford to come to Corvallis?
GW: Well, I enjoyed it. I thought it was a good thing. I thought it was another40:00opportunity. I'd always had to work so hard in Medford that I thought maybe this would give me the opportunity to be less involved. As it turned out, it didn't; but then, that's what I thought. It was an adventure.
JL: Did your grandparents come with you?
GW: No! No, we're the only part of the family that moved away from Medford; therest all stayed there.
JL: How did you get to Corvallis? How did the four of you get to Corvallis?
GW: My stepfather bought a 1917 or 1918 Model-T-this 1922--and so we drove the41:00Model-T to Corvallis with what stuff we could bring.
JL: Where did you live when you came here? f
GW: We rented a house just about where the Oregon State University PhysicalPlant building is now set on Washington Way, near the railroad tracks again. We just couldn't get away from railroad tracks, I guess. But, you know that run between Gill Coliseum and the Print Shop and Physical Plant offices across from the Heating Plant? We were right in that area. The house was torn down.
JL: Did your stepfather set up an upholstery business?42:00
GW: Yes, he operated a great deal of it out of our home because that wascheaper. It was the more profitable way to do it. He would just bring the chairs or the settee or whatever it was to our house, and we converted the garage into a shop and operated out of the shop.
JL: Did you help him?
JL: Did you enjoy doing that?
GW: Not particularly. I wasn't particularly attracted to that, but it was all right.
JL: Do you remember your first impressions of Corvallis as you were driving inyour stepfather's Model-T?
GW: Well, I really don't remember very specifically about Corvallis. Corvallis43:00always has been a very pleasant, friendly community, and it was a nice community. There were lots of things to do. One of the activity centers at our time, that we enjoyed, was going to the YMCA building on the Oregon State campus. The YMCA building periodically would have movies, and we used to enjoy going to the movies, much as I'd enjoyed going to the movies in Medford--I'd 44:00forgotten about that. I'd enjoy going to the silent movies and I became kind of a movie fan.
JL: What movies do you remember?
GW: Oh, I guess, as much as anything, I remember the serial movies that wouldcome in each week. It slips me right now to remember who it was, but each week they would have a serial, kind of like The Perils of Pauline, and each week would bring you up to a crisis so you would have to come back next week and see how the crisis was solved.
JL: This was at the YMCA on campus?45:00
GW: No! This was in Medford. One of the movies that I enjoyed thoroughly was theearly movie of The Sheik of Araby; I remember that and I enjoyed it very much. And, of course, I enjoyed the early Douglas Fairbanks movies; I was a great fan of his because he was a daring adventurer. So it was enjoyable.
JL: How much did the movies cost at the YMCA?
GW: I can't remember now whether we paid 10 or 15 cents, something like that.
JL: And children were allowed?
GW: Oh, yes. I don't think it cost us kids very much. I used to go frequentlybecause it was a nice recreation opportunity for us. 46:00
JL: Where did you spend most of your free time when you came to Corvallis?
GW: Well, I spent most of it working. I went to school, of course, and I wasactive in school. Again, I had a part-time job in a grocery store.
JL: What grocery store was that?
GW: I worked in the Southside Grocery. The building is still there. I don'tremember what's in there now: a beauty parlor, or blueprint shop, or something.
JL: What did you do there?
GW: Well, I was a stock boy, and a clerk, and a delivery boy. I bought my firstbicycle, for example, after I moved to Corvallis and paid for it, $2.00 a week, 47:00from my earnings in the grocery store.
JL: Did most of your money go to the family, as before in Medford?
GW: Well, it was more mine then, when I was in high school; but I bought some ofmy own clothes. I had this job and I delivered groceries after school on my bicycle--I had a basket on the front. It was a very interesting experience.
JL: Where was the Southside market located?
GW: Southside Grocery was located on 15th Street and the first street this sideof Western; I don't remember what it is now. The buildings are still there. It was operated by a man by the name of Monjay, Ernest Monjay, and they operated 48:00for many years. I was a stock boy, an order filler. When these orders would come in, I would get the paper bag and the scoop--everything was bulk, practically--and so I would take these little cartons like the Toa Yuen uses here now if you want to take home some of your leftovers. That's what we used for peanut butter and most everything. All the coffee was fresh ground; you'd, put it in a grinding machine and grind it. The cheese all came in a big wheel about 17 or 18 inches wide in diameter and we'd cut a wedge, weigh it, and wrap 49:00it. That's what I did. I filled orders. I always liked to fill orders for cookies because if I found a broken one, then I could help dispose of it. But it was interesting and I did that.
JL: Did other kids your age work also or were you an exception?
GW: Quite a few of them did. I probably worked more than most. I've always beeninterested in money so I could do a few things with it, and it gave me a little 50:00more personal freedom; I could have a little better bicycle than a lot of kids because I worked and bought it myself.
JL: How much were you making at the Southside market?
GW: I was getting about 20 cents an hour at the time, but twenty cents would goquite a long way.
JL: Do you remember what was happening on the Willamette River in the twenties?
GW: Not very much. I didn't get downtown too much. As soon as school was out, Iwent to work; and on Saturdays I went to work a little after eight o'clock, and I was running errands all day long and working in the store and filling orders, 51:00so I don't have too much of an early impression of Corvallis. I always enjoyed Corvallis.
JL: Did your parents take you to church?
GW: I didn't become really very active in church until my parents moved toPortland. My parents moved to Portland about the time I finished high school, so it was then that I became very active in the Hinson Memorial Baptist Church in Portland in the young people's work. I spent a lot of my time at that. 52:00
JL: When you were in Corvallis, did you have much association with OAC besidesgoing to the movies? What do you remember of campus life?
GW: Not very much really. I don't remember very much about the campus until Igot back in my student days. My life was in high school. I was always interested in activities in high school and I participated in them. When one works, you don't do a lot of the things that other kids do. So I worked pretty much and I would help out.
JL: Were you active in athletics at all?
GW: No, I never was active in athletics.53:00
JL: You lived very close to the College at that time.
GW: Yes. Well, I used to see some of the events, but I didn't go to the athleticevents. I was studying hard, trying to maintain a reasonable grade-point average and working; and, between those two things, it kept me pretty busy.
JL: And what subjects did you enjoy the most in high school?
GW: Oh, I enjoyed my languages, and I enjoyed history, and I took a lot of Latin54:00when I was in school and I enjoyed that.
JL: Do any teachers stand out in your mind?
GW: Oh, yes. My English teacher, Vera Horner, she stands out, very notably.
JL: Tell me about Vera Horner.
GW: Oh, she was a small person, fabulous, very inspirational teacher and just agreat person.
JL: How was she inspirational?
GW: Well, she had a way with young people. She could sort of be friendly to themand, at the same time, demand performance from them. She just had a great 55:00personality. You loved her almost to the point where you'd do most anything, you know. She would expect you to do things and you would do them; just like my language teacher, Libby Krichesky. I think she Libby Krichesky may be still living in Portland; I haven't heard recently. But she was another of these great people that could charm you right out of your shoes, and yet be a very strict taskmaster. She made you want to excel and put a high stimulus on performance 56:00and I always liked that. I remember the women teachers. Of course, I had more of them than I had men teachers, but women teachers were fantastic, particularly these two.
JL: What grade were you in when you had Vera Horner as your English teacher?
GW: Well, I don't remember. It happened when I was in high school. I graduatedfrom my high school in 1927 which means I probably entered about 1923.
JL: Did she teach you anything about local history, as you no doubt know, her57:00father taught Oregon history at the college?
GW: Oh, I'm sure she did, but I just don't recapture that.
JL: Did she take you on field trips at all? Do you remember anything like that?
GW: No, not that I recall. But she was just outstanding. Both of these very finewomen could cause you to develop more than you ever suspected that you would produce, you know. They were constantly urging you to go on, and you just developed the greatest admiration and respect and almost love for these ladies. 58:00They were just fabulous people.
JL: Was Vera Horner interested in you personally?
GW: Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
JL: Is that what made her distinctive?
GW: Oh, yes. She'd like every student that she had; she found some way toidentify with each individual. She kept it on a personal basis, and yet, she was always professional. She would motivate you to excel; tell you that with just a little more work you could do it, and so you'd work so hard to prove her right. I will always remember her and always be grateful to her memory because of this. I think as one goes through life, if you succeed very much it's probably what 59:00people rubbed off on you, you know. I guess every person has a kind of a little Bible of their own history and in this little Bible, or whatever you want to call it, you have a page for these different people that influence you; and these two fine people have pages in this book of mine. And I think that if I ever amounted to anything that, very likely, it was more due to them than to myself, because they kind of brought it out of me; and I liked that. 60:00
JL: Did you have an aptitude for writing?
GW: Oh, I don't know that I did. I had an interest in it, and I had an interestin language and communications and this sort of thing, but I never did follow it really professionally. As a result of this interest I was always able to write reports and to organize myself a little more effectively than otherwise would have been the case, I'm sure. So that's why I think a great deal of credit goes to them, because of the patience that they had, kind of the dedication they had to try to cause a person to excel beyond what they really felt they could do. 61:00
JL: What extra-curricular activities did they have at Corvallis High School whenyou were going there?
GW: I never was very active in the High-O-Scope, which was the school paper, butI did a little bit of that. But I was interested in high school plays and that sort of thing; I enjoyed that.
JL: Did you act or did you otherwise participate in putting on productions?
GW: I appeared in several high school plays. I was a member of the ThespianClub and was primarily interested in acting then. You've got to remember that 62:00all the time this was going on, I was trying to work, trying to maintain my grade average, and, at the same time, enjoy a few things.
JL: What was your mother doing in these years?
GW: Oh, she was just being a good housewife. Mother was never much of a joinerand so she didn't belong to organizations. We had a good life.
JL: Were you a close family?63:00
JL: You got along well with your sister and stepfather?
JL: So what prompted the move to Portland?
GW: Well, again, it was an opportunity. My father wanted to get out of theupholstery business and he had a chance to get into a new development in Portland; and so he joined a friend of his in a stock-and-bond business in Portland. We lived out in the Alameda district in Portland while we were there.
JL: And you had finished high school by this time?64:00
GW: Yes, in 1927, and then went up to Portland. I took a full-time job out ofhigh school with Montgomery Ward in their mail order department. I knew I wanted to go to college but I didn't have any money, so I worked up there two years and tried to save enough money to go to college.
JL: Did you live with your parents at that time?
GW: Oh, yes.
JL: Did your parents encourage you to pursue an education?
GW: (pause) I guess they did. Yeah, they agreed to the idea although theydidn't particularly push me. It was, I think, more of my own doing. I think it goes back to some of the motivation that I got at Corvallis High School.
JL: From these teachers that you spoke of earlier?
GW: From these teachers, yes. They kept telling me that the opportunity was65:00there: All that I had to do was to kind of equip myself for it and, if I were to do this, I could take some advantages of it.
JL: They must have seen you as an exceptional student to encourage you in this way?
GW: I doubt that, I doubt that very much (chuckles). No, I think they thoughtthat this could be done by most of the kids that went through high school and so I don't think I was singled out at all. I wasn't that good a student. I could have been, but I wasn't. I think many young people are either all one way or all the other: I mean they're all academic, and this is their life, or they're all the other way. I got along in school but I was not one of the academic 66:00highlights. But they were wonderful people and this, I think, is part of the reason I came back to Oregon State the fall of 1929.
JL: Was it difficult for you in Portland to earn enough money so you could go to school?
GW: No, not really. I got a job in Montgomery Ward in the mail order department,and I started out filling orders on the sixth floor of the Montgomery Ward building out on 27th and Thurmond, when I was right out of high school. I worked in the furniture department and people would buy a lot of--I don't know whether 67:00you know what a congoleum rug is--but, in those days, it was a piece of linoleum that was made to look like a 9 by 12 rug or an 8 by 10 rug. It was just printed linoleum but it was the size of a rug, and it was attractive. Where you couldn't afford a carpet, why, you bought one of these out of the catalog. My job was a very difficult one. If an order ticket came up to the sixth floor, and it said a blue rug with such-and-such a number was wanted, why I went to the bin, and got a blue rug, and put the label on it, put it on a cart and took it to the freight elevator. That was my job (chuckles). I guess these Corvallis High School 68:00teachers kind of instilled in me that whatever you do, regardless of whatever your job is, always try to do it as well as you can. They sort of got this philosophy across to me, and so I tried to do it as best I could. I watched myself and I worked hard, and so finally I moved from that job on the floor into an office job where I was kind of an order manager. I was in that job for about a year. Then I left it to come back to Oregon State. I'd saved up by that time as I recall about $150 to $200. 69:00
JL: Was that a hard decision to make to spend your money all to get an education?
JL: There was no doubt in your mind that that was how you wanted to spend your money?
JL: Why did you decide to come to OAC?
GW: Partly because of being in Corvallis, I think. I liked Corvallis, and what Ihad experienced at Oregon State I liked; and so I came down here and I became very active in the First Baptist Church. It was there that I met the gal that I ultimately married many years later. Anyway, it was no hard decision.
JL: What did you study when you first got here?
GW: Well, I was interested in business and so that's what I entered, the School70:00of Business; it was called the School of Commerce then. I lived over in the dormitory.
JL: Which one was that?
GW: I lived in what was then known as Cauthorn Hall, over in the big WeatherfordHall complex. Dr. Donald David Hill, a professor of farm crops, was my advisor. He's been a great friend through all these years--still living.
JL: With all the interest you had had in mechanics and machinery and enginesthrough the years, why didn't you plan to take mechanical engineering or something to do with machines?
GW: Well, I guess I was interested in mechanics more in a hobby than in a71:00vocational way. I had always been interested in business, and having worked in the grocery store on two different occasions, and having had my own paper routes, it just seemed natural for me to get an education on the business side of things; so that's what I started out to do.
JL: Were you active in extracurricular activities on campus?
GW: Yes. Yes.
JL: Which ones?
GW: Well, I got involved in campus politics. I was active as a freshman infreshman class politics. I was a candidate for the presidency of the sophomore class - lost it. And I was on the student Board of Control, and active in 72:00debate, and in many things on campus.
JL: What were some of the issues you debated?
GW: Oh, we were arguing about the chain stores at that time, in 1929--whetherthe chain store system of distributing food was a good thing or a bad thing for the American people. Here were all these little businesses that were competing against these big giants. Was it fair, or was it not fair, for the small independent businessman to try to survive in a battle with the corporate giants? This was one of the major things that was going on at the time. Of course, 73:00there were political issues.
JL: How did it happen you became interested in participating in debates on that issue?
GW: Well, this happened to be one of the topics that was selected regionally. As74:00a freshman I took a speech class and I sort of enjoyed it. And I became interested in debating then, through one of the professors that I knew. His name was Alvin E. O'Konski. He subsequently became a United States congressman from Wisconsin 1943-1972. He was a very interesting character.
JL: He was at OAC?
GW: Yes, he was in the Speech Department at Oregon State. So the topic wasselected regionally. Why they selected it, I don't know; but it was one of the topics that was selected, and so I became very active in that, and we debated in schools all over the Northwest. Sometimes we would take the affirmative and sometimes the negative; we'd be for it one time and against it the other time. And it was fun. I enjoyed going on these trips.
JL: Did you also work when you were a student?
GW: Oh, I worked; you bet I worked. I got a job working as a student janitor,which was a very important Oregon State program at that time to help young people who wanted to earn some money to go to school. I couldn't have made it at Oregon State if I hadn't of had the student janitor job. I was a janitor in 75:00the Women's Building on campus during my freshman year.
JL: Was it customary for students to work on campus then?
GW: Oh, yes. Yes. Lots of them did because times were difficult. In the Women'sBuilding, I guess, there were five or six of us that did the same thing every day. We'd work from 6:00 to 8:00 every morning and then we'd work from 5:00 to 6:00 at night just cleaning up offices, and sweeping floors, and emptying wastebaskets, and cleaning toilets, and so on. I got up at six o'clock; I had an alarm clock wired right under my pillow and it would go off. I made an arrangement with the Memorial Union Building that I could go over there after eight o'clock, after everybody had been fed, and get a glass of milk and some cereal or some toast or whatever it was. I was working three hours a day and getting thirty-five cents an hour at that time, which was very helpful. It was just great; it kept me in school.
JL: Women's Building? What building do you mean?
GW: It's the Women's Gymnasium now. That was my freshman year I was a janitorthere. In my sophomore year, I moved from the Women's building to the Commerce 76:00Building -- over to what they now call Bexell Hall, School of Business. I did that because it was an opportunity for me to work a few more hours a day. I worked over there and gradually I got working more hours. I got to work from 6:00 to 8:00 in the morning and from 5:00 to 7:00 at night so that I could keep myself going.
JL: Cleaning up the building?
GW: Yes. I would clean the offices, sweep the classrooms, remove the newspaper,and clean the restrooms, and just do everything-general janitor service. I had some help. Then the man who was in charge of the Commerce Building had to leave for some reason, and so I was able to get a job as head janitor of the building; I worked about four to six hours a day then and still went to class.
JL: Wasn't there a student loan fund at that time?
GW: Oh, I borrowed occasionally from the student loan fund, but not very much.77:00It was difficult, and much more difficult, to get a student loan then than now because you didn't have the government participating in the student loan fund; if you could plead your case, you could get fifty dollars, and if you were really lucky, you could get a hundred dollars. But if I could work more hours, why, then I didn't have to use the loan fund; so I just started working more hours.
JL: When did you have time to study?
GW: Well, I would try to do my work from about five o'clock to around eighto'clock at night, and then I would work from 6:00 to 9:00 in the morning, so that would give me about six hours a day. And I did my studying after that. My grades in my sophomore year were not the best. They weren't the worst, but they weren't the best.
JL: What did you do in your leisure time?78:00
GW: Oh, I was still trying to study and maintain a reasonable grade-pointaverage, and so I spent a lot of time studying. Then I was active in the First Baptist Church. Then in my sophomore year, when I moved over to the Commerce Building, I worked longer hours. And then I became more involved with the gal I later married, so I spent more time with her. We went for walks. We used to enjoy going down by the railroad tracks and just walking out the track. And that's the way we'd spend leisure hours--just visiting and enjoying ourselves. 79:00
JL: Did you ever take the train to Newport?
GW: I did take the train two or three times to Newport. It only went as far asYaquina, then you had to take the ferry across. But that was enjoyable. I think it was 75 cents round trip, as I remember. In the early days, it was called the Corvallis and Eastern Railroad.
JL: You did this as a student at OAC or was this before you moved to Portland?
GW: Well, before that and after we were students. But, in my work, I savedenough money to buy a car and that was my leisure time. As I say, I've always 80:00been fascinated with cars, and so I bought a car.
JL: And worked on that, you mean?
GW: I worked on that and if we had enough gas, why, Mrs. Wood--Mrs. Woodnow--and I would get in the car and we'd drive to Philomath or, on occasions, we'd just get in the car and drive over to Bend and back for the day.
JL: How long did that take?
GW: Well, it didn't take too long. We would drive over in about four hours.
JL: How did you meet your wife? What is her name by the way?
GW: Ramona Jackson. Her father Elmer Polic Jackson was superintendent of ofbuildings at Oregon State. After we got acquainted, I got to know her father 81:00better and he was, in a sense, my boss. The automobile was the fun thing at that time.
JL: You began your career as a student at Oregon State virtually at thebeginning of the Depression?
GW: Yes. I enrolled at Oregon State University--it was Oregon State College atthat time--in 1929, and as I mentioned previously, I did move into what was known as Cauthorn Hall in the big men's dormitory complex.
JL: It must have been a difficult time for a student.
GW: It was a very difficult thing. It was very difficult. My family was out ofwork and I actually dropped out of school during part of this period to work full-time so I could keep the family together.
JL: Your father had been in stocks and bonds, you said?
GW: Yes, and that went down the tube about the time I started college-that was a82:00stock market crash. And so he had a very difficult time and he had to get out of that business; he lost everything he had. It was at the end of my sophomore year that my family got out of a job, so they came back to Corvallis, and I moved out of the dormitory and moved back home. I took a job and worked all I could, and used part of my money to help my family, because no one was working.
JL: Where did you work?
GW: Well, that starts another whole chapter of my life. I got working more hoursat the Commerce Building and going to school. Then I finally got this job with 83:00Dr. Kerr William Jasper Kerr, president of OAC, 1907-1932. So that was a great break for me.
JL: What year was this?
GW: Well, this was at the end of my sophomore year at Oregon State. Let's see,my freshman year was 1929-1930; my sophomore year was 1930-1931; so it was about 1931 that I got this job with Dr. Kerr-1930-1931.

She responds that it was just before he left, she walked in on Taylor kissing him and declaring her love for him. Taylor breaks in and says Brooke is a little insecure. Thomas walks in and sees the tension so he and Taylor leave with Douglas. Brooke says she does not know how he ever lived with that woman. And she has that old theme again that Hope needs a child; that could be Douglas and Steffy needs a husband for her girls. Liam goes home and tells Hope that she is amazing when she suggests they keep out a blanket and some toys for Douglas when he visits. He thinks that is fine until she also says Douglas wants her to be his mom. He questions it and she says he does not have all the words to describe it but it reminded her that could have been Beths first words. She just knows that he is a sweet little boy in need. Taylor fixes Douglas a snack and Thomas says he is going to insist that Taylor go to Europe and be with Steffy and the girls. He and Douglas will be okay here. She is against it but agrees if they can do video chat. Then he shares with her that Douglas asked Hope to be his mother .out of the mouth of babes. A light bulb goes off in Taylors mind.

They’ve got it all wrong
Every problem facing the world today was created by us. We have the power to solve every problem
but not if we cannot free ourselves from this nightmare reality we have created. Not if we cannot trust each other and our creations. Deep down we all know this reality is unsustainable. We all feel it but instead of acting upon that feeling we numb it with
meaningless platitudes, worthless consumerism, opiate entertainment and worst of all, nonchalance to the insanity surrounding us. "It’s not our fault, we are not responsible," that is what “we” say, and that will be the epitaph of humanity.
It is our fault and we are responsible.
(Quote from S T Paterson)
In the “olden
days” before economics became the false God that now dictates what can happen and what can’t, people used to ask, “Do we have enough ‘stuff’, and enough people, to do what is needed to be done?” Today the question asked
is, “Do we have enough money and can we afford to do what needs to be done?”
This is not a new phenomenon, of course, but over the last couple of centuries it has been those demigods like Adam Smith,
Jean Batiste Says, and the Milton Friedman’s who have misled everyone by ignorantly, or deliberately, ignoring the customer.
In finance and economics, in Government circles, everyone talks about “investors”,
about “capital”, about equity, about share markets, bond markets, interest rates, and of course, “economic growth.” Everything seems to be conditioned on production, even the accepted measure for a nation’s wellbeing uses
the Gross Domestic Product – the GDP, as its indicator.
Why is this so? Production is irrelevant if it isn’t going to be consumed. Surely, consumption is a far more important aspect of any economic cycle?
It is absolutely pointless to produce anything unless it is going to be consumed.
Everyone focusses on how to make a profit, but everyone seems to ignore the fact that every dollar
of “profit” comes from consumption. It does not come from production. And as always – the customer is the consumer – and ultimately, the customer is always the people.
It doesn’t matter
what the product or service is – whether it’s a bridge, or a bomb, or a bottle of milk, it is only going to be consumed if it is used by people.
A bridge is part of society’s infrastructure aimed
at providing a service for the people. A bomb is the essential for killing and promoting war, and warfare is really just politics by another means. A bottle of milk is a symbol for supporting life, and that should
be the purpose of any genuine Government.
Consumption is the single most important factor in every economy? It is what, virtually, every business is dependent on. And it is the factor that most Governments
seem to have no genuine understanding of its importance.
Adam Smith came up with his mystical theory of an “invisible hand” to, somehow, always balance things out, so that an equilibrium will occur.
Says came up with a theory that if you produce something the demand will, somehow, automatically appear. Neither of these soothsayers had any real concept of mass production, let alone the imagination to conceive of today’s toxic financial products that
are capable of laying waste to every economy in the world.
Freidman, of course, was the preeminent advocate of the “free market” concept, claiming that a market untouched by regulation will always be
self-regulating because Smith’s “invisible hand” will make sure everything will balance out. He, probably more than anyone else, is responsible for the conception of those toxic financial products that are now, with a nominal value in excess
of three quadrillion dollars, virtually, beyond the control of anyone.
What none of these demigods bothered to think about was, “Where are all the customers supposed to get the money to buy all the things
that were produced?”
If they did think about it at all their answer would probably have been, “by working”, or “by borrowing from a money lender”.
What other choice did a customer have, unless he or she were born with “a silver spoon in their mouth,” in which case they sponged off their heirs?
But always, without fail, our demigods
refused to address the question of, “Where does the money come from, who has the authority to create money, and what is the purpose for having a money system in the first place?”
The one and
only purpose for having a money system in any society is to create ‘something” that represents a convenient and acceptable medium of exchange.
not a “store of wealth”. It is useless until it is exchanged for something that is needed or wanted. Obviously, the more money one has the more choices are available, but the “richness” of life does not depend on how much money one
Provided the “token” used for money is universally accepted within the given society, and it comes with a guarantee that it is not a false “token,” it pretty much doesn’t matter
what sort of token is used to represent “money”.
Essentially, a money system is a public service created for the benefit of the society. It allows the convenient
flow of day to day trading throughout the nation. It is also an essential responsibility that the citizens of the nation choose to authorise their Government to provide.
issue that is always avoided is, how do we get the purchasing power into the hands of the customer? It doesn’t matter whether the customer spends a million dollars or ten dollars, somehow, the money in a society has to get to the customer to balance
the money on the production side, including the profit margin.
So far, the only universally accepted way has been for the customer to get a job, and to tie that debt noose around their neck. But, with advancing
technology, and the mantra of “efficiency” and increased profitability, the job market is being eroded. When the history of the last 200 years is studied objectively, it becomes clear that the thrust of progress has been to produce more with less
labour. The advent of the computer chip greatly accelerated the progress and the next step seems to be the application of AI, artificial intelligence.
So, for the last two hundred
years, progress has been aimed at putting people out of work. It is an unfortunate fact that “work,” and borrowing, happens to be the greatest sources of “purchasing power” for the vast majority of people on this planet. If we are going
to let AI take over even more of the “work functions” previously handled by people, how are the displaced people going to become customers?
It should be obvious to anyone that this ongoing drive to reduce
labour costs and increase profitability, is a self-defeating exercise. This especially applies to cutting services to the people least able to gainfully acquire purchasing
Every dollar a Government spends directly contributes to the profitability for the “gamblers”, as in fact, is the correct term for “investors”. The economic and finance “experts”,
and most Governments, simply don’t realise this. These “experts” who are still wallowing in the decrepit 19th-century theories of Smith and Says, see Government spending as an “evil” thing
that has to be reduced. They claim that any expenditure above whatever revenue a Government can extort must be eliminated.
In truth, every independent nation automatically has monetary sovereignty. That of course,
doesn’t apply to the Eurozone when the countries sold out their sovereignty to the European Central Bank. What monetary sovereignty means is that the Government of those nations has the sole authority, and responsibility, to create and issue their nation’s
supply of “money”. In actual fact, there is no need for any such Government to resort to taxation. A monetary sovereign nation cannot go broke, it cannot become insolvent, and it cannot be bankrupted,
and it really doesn’t have to borrow money from anyone. A monetary sovereign Government can always fund any program to which the people are prepared to allow their Government to commit itself.
in today’s weird world of economics, everything is geared to financing production, marketing, publicity, distribution, infrastructure, but virtually nothing is focussed on financing the customer. Basically, the only approved way for the customer to gain
purchasing power is to get a job and place a debt noose around their neck, while the Government taxes the hell out of them at every opportunity. It is a ludicrous situation, made steadily worse by automation, offshoring, and now, robotics.
For years we have been told there is no such thing as a free lunch, and the customer has been told, “If you want to eat, get a job and work for it.”
Finance and economics focus
on supporting the gamblers, under whatever label they are given, whether it is an “investor”, an entrepreneur, or a start-up. The sole purpose of any and every commercial undertaking is always to make a profit. If there is no potential for a profit,
nothing will be attempted.
One of the many unknown facts about Australia is that it is a monetary sovereign, self-governing Dominion of the UK. This status was bequeathed on Britain’s newly created and enlarged
colony of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1900. It probably occurred quite unknowingly by the British Parliament, courtesy of Section 51(xii) and 51(xiii) of Clause 9 of their 19th century British Act. Despite the additional fact that the
British Act is still in force and has never been repealed, no Government other than the Fisher Labor Government of 1911, has had the intestinal fortitude to make use of this magnificent gift. Andrew Fisher, with
the persuasive support of King O’Malley, created the original Commonwealth Bank of Australia, as a wholly owned people’s Bank, to provide the bulk of the funding needed by the Government at that time. It survived from 1911 to 1923 when it was effectively
killed off by the Bruce/Page Tory Government.
That is the one and only time in Australia’s history that we have had any politicians willing to stand up to the private banking cartels that now control Australia’s
economy and Australia’s money supply.
Available Books by the Author
The recently published book, as illustrated above, "Where to, Australia?" is now available.
This is a new and challenging book that is divided into two Parts - the first Part explains the reasoning and philosophy behind each chapter of a new and better political and economic system that is contained in the draft
of a new Constitution. The Second Part of the book is the draft Constitution itself.
If you are interested in this book and either of my two other books, "A Constitutional Journey" and "The Australian Constitution
as it is Actually Written" I can send you a free eBook version, but you will need to download the free version of Adobe Digital Editions.
Whilst I have copyright, these books were written
to promote a true and proper understanding of the 19th century British Act Australia still uses today, as its Constitution. The only restriction on distributing the books, or excerpts, to anyone interested is to include a reference to this blog at www.aussieindependence.com.
These books are also available from www.sbpra.com or alternatively, contact the author at [email protected] if you wish to obtain a copy.
