UF Engineering Collaboration Aims to Add Decades of Safe, Clean Energy Production to U.S. Nuclear Reactors
(L to R) Douglas Spearot, Ph.D., Assel Aitkaliyeva, Ph.D.

Engineers from UF’s Department of Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) and the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) are collaborating on research investigating neutron irradiation-induced embrittlement in nuclear reactor pressure vessels.
Douglas Spearot, Ph.D., professor of MAE and principal investigator, and Assel Aitkaliyeva, Ph.D., associate professor of MSE, are part of the $800,000 study. Along with scientists from the University of Wisconsin and Los Alamos and Idaho National Laboratories, they are working to predict the operating lifespan of nuclear reactors more accurately.
The materials that make up a nuclear reactor are exposed to some of the harshest environments on Earth. The combination of radiation, high temperatures and stress creates an environment that can harden and embrittle pressure vessel steels, potentially weakening the structure. The U.S. has the largest number of operating reactors in the world, which provide over half of the country’s clean energy. With the average age of our nuclear plants approaching four decades of operation, wear and tear on the major components inevitably comes into play.
“It’s one of the major concerns for extending the service life of the existing reactor fleet. Unfortunately, we do not fully grasp the mechanisms responsible for hardening and embrittlement,” Dr. Aitkaliyeva said. “We don’t have a lot of experimental data for materials being irradiated to high fluences, which accurately represent conditions a reactor pressure vessel experiences during its lifetime of use.”
Dr. Aitkaliyeva said that the combination of talent and the state-of-the-art tools not available at other institutions constitute a distinct scientific advantage for their group’s research.
“Our project is unique because it allows us to approach the problem using both experimental and modeling data, where each will provide impactful results,” Dr. Aitkaliyeva said. “Experimentally, we deal with highly radioactive specimens and perform microstructural characterization of material irradiated to high fluences. This data has been a knowledge bottleneck in the past because we simply did not have the information. Fortunately, with our Nuclear Fuels and Materials Characterization facility and direct connections to national labs, we are well-positioned to tackle this.”
The modeling team enables the group to work at two different length scales, allowing them to establish a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms that drive the problem and couple it with their experimental efforts.
“At the atomistic length scale, our partner at the University of Wisconsin will conduct simulations to understand how Mn-Ni rich precipitates (MNPs) form in the neighborhood of dislocations in steel,” Dr. Spearot said. “This information will be important as input to simulations at the mesoscale where my group, in collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory, will be conducting discrete dislocation dynamics simulations to predict yield strength in the presence of MNPs. Collectively, our goal is to understand and predict the role of MNP distribution on steel hardening and embrittlement.”
As nuclear power plants age, reactor vessels are not the only elements falling under analysis. In 2010, the Department of Energy established the Light Water Reactor Sustainability (LWRS) program to help preserve the safety of and extend the operation of these facilities far beyond the 40 years they were expected to last. Under initiatives such as these, virtually every component, from cabling to concrete, is regularly monitored and inspected for signs of integrity loss. As a result, multiple nuclear plants around the country are now licensed to operate for up to 80 years.
Dr. Aitkaliyeva and the team’s research will help further enhance the safety and longevity of nuclear plants, thus helping safeguard a significant part of our country’s clean energy future.

Summer on the Prairie
Summer at last. Booming thunder in the distance. Heat and humidity have arrived. Bites that beg to be scratched. It seems inevitable that I will put on the wrong pair of shoes and rub my heels raw to blisters after walking the two miles to work, and finish them off on the way home.
Bunker – remains of the former military installation
The primary source of my bites most likely was a trip to Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie on Saturday afternoon. Midewin was established on the former site of the Joliet Arsenal. It was a beat-the-heat strategy to meet at 4:00 p.m. in the diminishing intensity of the sun. There were perhaps 25 of us, a large group by birding standards. Possibly the large group kept the birds at a mostly non-photographable distance, but the beauty of the vast landscape prevailed. We managed to see most of our target species, namely Blue Grosbeak, Northern Mockingbird and Loggerhead Shrike.
Midewin (pronounced “Mid-DAY-win”) was by all accounts Dickcissel and Field Sparrow Heaven on Saturday. I didn’t get a Field Sparrow image this time but this Dickcissel was happy to show us the boundaries of his territory, quite near the road we walked on.
In the picture above, the second bump from the left on the fence is a Loggerhead Shrike. Not that you can tell. Too far away, but the rolling fence posts and endless grass give you an idea of the shrike’s preferred habitat.
This was as close as I could get to one Mockingbird, who then took off and clinched his identity with the trademark white patches in his wings.
The Blue Grosbeaks were even farther away… flying below…

And landing, to sing a little.
Later we got a much better look at the female version.

Eastern Meadowlarks were also abundant that day.

But the Dickcissel had the last word.

It’s great that you go out on the field and enjoy the outdoors. At least is not raining like here by me. 🙂

Oh no! Still raining? I have to go out on the weekends or I see nothing this time of year. 🙂

I really have to make a point of going to Midewin. I love restored prairies (I don’t think there are any other kind in this state).

Thanks for your comment! Actually, Goose Lake Prairie is the closest thing to original maybe you can get in Illinois, and it’s not far from Midewin. I love Goose Lake and I think I have to visit soon (I went last 4th of July). It feels different – and I don’t think it’s the hype. It’s a smaller area than Midewin, but the DNR’s website says it’s much like the state was 150 years ago. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2302 | {"url":

KFC General Manager
F211001 - Phillipsburg, NJ
View Job Description - KFC General Manager
At KFC, we feed the world. But we do more than fill people up. We fulfill their life. Our meals matter, and when we serve them with southern hospitality, we make our customer’s day. So our jobs are more than a paycheck – they’re about being independent, having fun, and making new friends. If you’re already a successful manager, you need to check out our Restaurant General Manager position. As a Restaurant General Manager, you have the keys to a $1 million+ business (literally!). And when you grow your team and the business by making our customers’ day, you get rewarded in a big way.
The good news is that your training will teach you everything you need to know to succeed on the job. But there are a few skills you should have from the get-go: - A natural leader, you want to be co-captain because you can help bring together a winning team. You’re all about creating a great place to work for the team. - You want to make your customer’s day and it shows in the way you are maniacal about serving great-tasting chicken with a great big smile. - We have a GREAT culture and look for GREAT people to add to our family. You know who you are --honest, energetic, motivational and fun. - You set high standards for yourself and for the team. - You’re up for a challenge. You love the excitement of the restaurant business and know every day is different. - And, you’re at least 18 years old with a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation (not public transportation – you may need to drive to make deposits for the restaurant sometimes) and a true desire to learn and grow.

‘Yeah, do it for Kanye’: A DC-area assault victim says his attackers made antisemitic comments
WASHINGTON (JTA) — A man who was beaten at a supermarket in a Washington, D.C., suburb says his attacker used antisemitic epithets and was encouraged by others who invoked Kanye West, the antisemitic celebrity.
The police in Montgomery County, Maryland, said in a press release that the victim said he had approached a group of people tossing fruit and stealing doughnuts last week at a Giant supermarket in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and rebuked them. When the victim, whom police did not name, removed his jacket to defend himself, the group noticed he was wearing a Star of David pendant, and one man attacked him while making antisemitic statements, police quoted the victim as saying.
“Yeah, do it for Kanye,” the victim told police others in the group had said, according to a police charging document cited in local media.
Now known as Ye, West, a billionaire rapper and designer, last year embarked on a spree of public antisemitism that caused his past praise for Adolf Hitler to be revealed. His name has become a rallying cry for extremist trolls.
Every antisemitic thing Kanye West has said (so far)
The Montgomery County victim was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries. Police said they had arrested a man at a nearby McDonald’s and he was being held without bail on assault and robbery charges. Police said they are investigating whether to add hate crime charges.
Meanwhile, the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington has offered up to $5,000 for information leading to arrest and indictment of those responsible for several recent incidents of antisemitic vandalism and graffiti incidences in Montgomery County.

Russia’s aggression toward Ukraine has persisted for over a year now, but Russian forces have recently turned their hostility toward Americans. The Pentagon has released footage of a Russian fighter jet colliding with an American drone over the Black Sea this past Tuesday. Though Russia has denied that its planes made contact with the drone, the video evidence is undeniable to most of the world — leaving many officials like U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin suspicious of this potential “escalation.” On the Rundown, Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) joins to discuss why “we need to be mindful” of the growing relationship between China & Russia as President Xi Jinping gears up to visit Moscow and how he believes the Biden Administration should ensure the U.S. military has proper funding and resources to stand against these “flagrant international criminals.” He also discusses his recent trip to the Southern border and why he believes the President has failed to use American taxpayer dollars efficiently as the U.S. border remains insecure.
Today marks 20 years since the U.S. ground invasion of the Iraq War. It was on this day in March 2003 that President George W. Bush began an American military operation in Iraq based on intelligence that said Iraq’s dictator Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. Eventually, coalition forces were able to defeat the Iraqi Army, but the vacuum created would cause strife in the region for years to come. Retired Major General Vinny Boles was part of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and he joins the podcast to explain the factors that made the insurgency a formidable foe, how America’s strategy in the war changed, and the importance of an exit strategy when engaging in armed conflict.

US Nonfarm Payrolls Jumps to 517K vs. 185K Expected!
The January 2023 Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report has just been released, showing staggering 📈 517,000 jobs added, far exceeding the expected 185,000.
In addition, there was published data on wages. Specifically, the annual Average Hourly Earnings (AHE), a measure of wage inflation, came in at 0.3% (m/m), below the estimated 0.4% (m/m) by analysts. However, there is positive news on other fronts. The Labor Force Participation Rate improved to 62.4%, and the Unemployment Rate decreased to 3.4% from its previous 3.5% in December.
These key indicators, combined with the significant increase in Nonfarm Payrolls, paint a promising picture for the US job market.
What is NFP and why it affects the markets
NFP stands for Non-Farm Payrolls, which is a monthly release by the Bureau of Labor Statistics that measures the number of jobs created in the US economy, excluding farm workers, government employees, and non-profit organizations.
This data release is considered one of the most important indicators of the strength of the US labor market and has a significant impact on financial markets. The NFP release affects assets such as the Dollar Index, US stocks, and other assets as it provides insight into the economy's health, affecting interest rates, inflation expectations, and investment decisions.
For example, a strong NFP release often leads to an increase in the Dollar's value, a boost in US stock indices like the S&P 500 ($SPX500), Dow Jones ($DOW30), and the NASDAQ ($NAS100), and a decrease in the demand for safe-haven assets such as Gold.
On the other hand, a weak NFP release can lead to a decrease in the value of the Dollar and a drop in US stock indices, causing investors to seek safer investments.
How markets reacted to the January NFP release
It should be noted that the US Dollar Index took the news of the rapid increase in the US NFP very positively, rising several points at once and recovering the previous week's losses.
It is predicted that the growth of the dollar index may continue for some time, which will also affect the rates of currency pairs such as $GBP/USD and $EUR/USD, which are falling against the growth of the American currency.
At the same time, the US indices and $Gold have not been supported by US employment growth, so the major assets, including $Gold, have started to fall steadily.
It is not yet clear how long this market reaction will last. But it can still be used in your trading strategies.
In addition, employment growth was reported across the board, mainly due to growth in leisure and hospitality, professional and business services, and health care. Government employment also increased, partly reflecting workers' return after the strike.
It remains to be seen whether this trend will continue next month.
US Payroll report smashes forecasts with 517,000 new jobs created in January.
The annual wage inflation, as measured by Average Hourly Earnings, came in at 4.4%, compared to analysts' estimate of 4.9%.
The US Dollar gathered strength against its rivals with the initial reaction.
Gold started to decline after the NFP release. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2307 | {"url": "https://naga.com/news-and-analysis/articles/us-nonfarm-payrolls-jumps-to-517k-vs-185k-expected", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "naga.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:08:58Z", "digest": "sha1:JFDTZ7JIWN4GFJOC4SY2W3IJDSXF47KV"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3153, 3153.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3153, 9658.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3153, 20.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3153, 136.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3153, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3153, 227.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3153, 0.34567901]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3153, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3153, 0.01391097]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3153, 0.01669316]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3153, 0.0127186]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3153, 0.05401235]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3153, 0.20061728]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3153, 0.50192308]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3153, 4.83846154]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3153, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3153, 5.05619118]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3153, 520.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 53, 1.0], [53, 201, 1.0], [201, 584, 1.0], [584, 715, 1.0], [715, 758, 0.0], [758, 989, 1.0], [989, 1359, 1.0], [1359, 1610, 1.0], [1610, 1775, 1.0], [1775, 1822, 0.0], [1822, 2006, 1.0], [2006, 2231, 1.0], [2231, 2392, 1.0], [2392, 2506, 1.0], [2506, 2760, 1.0], [2760, 2827, 1.0], [2827, 2905, 1.0], [2905, 3029, 1.0], [3029, 3107, 1.0], [3107, 3153, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 201, 0.0], [201, 584, 0.0], [584, 715, 0.0], [715, 758, 0.0], [758, 989, 0.0], [989, 1359, 0.0], [1359, 1610, 0.0], [1610, 1775, 0.0], [1775, 1822, 0.0], [1822, 2006, 0.0], [2006, 2231, 0.0], [2231, 2392, 0.0], [2392, 2506, 0.0], [2506, 2760, 0.0], [2760, 2827, 0.0], [2827, 2905, 0.0], [2905, 3029, 0.0], [3029, 3107, 0.0], [3107, 3153, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 53, 9.0], [53, 201, 22.0], [201, 584, 61.0], [584, 715, 20.0], [715, 758, 9.0], [758, 989, 35.0], [989, 1359, 58.0], [1359, 1610, 45.0], [1610, 1775, 32.0], [1775, 1822, 8.0], [1822, 2006, 33.0], [2006, 2231, 39.0], [2231, 2392, 28.0], [2392, 2506, 22.0], [2506, 2760, 35.0], [2760, 2827, 12.0], [2827, 2905, 12.0], [2905, 3029, 20.0], [3029, 3107, 12.0], [3107, 3153, 8.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 53, 0.12], [53, 201, 0.11428571], [201, 584, 0.03116147], [584, 715, 0.0], [715, 758, 0.0], [758, 989, 0.0], [989, 1359, 0.0], [1359, 1610, 0.04741379], [1610, 1775, 0.0], [1775, 1822, 0.0], [1822, 2006, 0.0], [2006, 2231, 0.0], [2231, 2392, 0.0], [2392, 2506, 0.0], [2506, 2760, 0.0], [2760, 2827, 0.0], [2827, 2905, 0.08], [2905, 3029, 0.03508772], [3029, 3107, 0.0], [3107, 3153, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 201, 0.0], [201, 584, 0.0], [584, 715, 0.0], [715, 758, 0.0], [758, 989, 0.0], [989, 1359, 0.0], [1359, 1610, 0.0], [1610, 1775, 0.0], [1775, 1822, 0.0], [1822, 2006, 0.0], [2006, 2231, 0.0], [2231, 2392, 0.0], [2392, 2506, 0.0], [2506, 2760, 0.0], [2760, 2827, 0.0], [2827, 2905, 0.0], [2905, 3029, 0.0], [3029, 3107, 0.0], [3107, 3153, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 53, 0.1509434], [53, 201, 0.0472973], [201, 584, 0.04438642], [584, 715, 0.03816794], [715, 758, 0.09302326], [758, 989, 0.04761905], [989, 1359, 0.02972973], [1359, 1610, 0.10756972], [1610, 1775, 0.04242424], [1775, 1822, 0.10638298], [1822, 2006, 0.05434783], [2006, 2231, 0.06222222], [2231, 2392, 0.04347826], [2392, 2506, 0.01754386], [2506, 2760, 0.00787402], [2760, 2827, 0.01492537], [2827, 2905, 0.05128205], [2905, 3029, 0.03225806], [3029, 3107, 0.05128205], [3107, 3153, 0.08695652]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3153, 0.89705849]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3153, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3153, 0.21215993]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3153, -172.40364608]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3153, 39.85334496]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3153, 49.71756424]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3153, 32.0]]} |

When Worlds Collide, by Nalaka Gunawardene
Text of my ‘When Worlds Collide’ column published in Ceylon Today Sunday newspaper on 16 December 2012
“Did you hear about the man who lit a cigarette from a nuclear explosion?” Sir Arthur C Clarke was fond of asking his visitors some years ago.
The acclaimed science fiction writer and space visionary, whose 95th birth anniversary falls today (16 Dec 2012), loved to pose such baffling questions to visitors. He would gleefully volunteer the answer, and in that process, also share an interesting factoid.
In this instance, the answer was Theodore (Ted) Taylor (1925 – 2004), an American nuclear scientist who designed atomic weapons in the 1950s and 1960s. He apparently held up a small parabolic mirror during a nuclear test — the giant ‘fireball’ was 12 miles (19 km) away – which turned the focused light into heat.
“The moment I heard this, I wrote to Taylor, saying ‘Don’t…

NamCompendium 10: Ms. Pac-Man, Pt. 1
Ms. Pac-Man
3 February 1982 (Arcade, United States)
Well, here it is. The most bonkers NamCompendium entry yet, and one a long time coming. The looming presence of Ms. Pac-Man has cast a shadow on several prior entries in this project. We’ve seen many of the key players in this long and sordid players named already, and there are several thousand words available here and elsewhere on the impact of Pac-Man. That title was a true watershed release, one which has informed Namco (and now Bandai Namco) from that point forward. It was only natural that Namco saw the potential for sequels to follow on the success of Pac-Man, and we’ll be covering those down the line as well. But, as we shall see, they were beaten to the punch.
General Computer Corporation has already received high marks in the NamCompendium for their contract work under Atari. We first encountered them with their conversion of Namco’s Galaxian for the VCS, work that stemmed from the settlement between GCC and Atari over their development of unsanctioned Missile Attack clones. GCC did not develop every Namco conversion on Atari platforms, but when you consider that one of the major outliers was the Tod Frye developed 2600 port of Pac-Man, perhaps they should have just taken on each of these jobs. They also designed the Atari 5200 from the ground up amidst the division of Atari into Atari Games (now dead) and Atari Corporation (now Atari SA, TAFKA Infogrames, currently shilling a microconsole that seems not entirely above board). In so many words, Atari kept the upstart designers at GCC busy.
But then, they had been busy for many years prior to the 5200 debacle. There had been the Super Missile Attack project which drew the ire of Atari in the first place. There had also been another project by the name of Crazy Otto.
To frame Crazy Otto correctly, I must reiterate that the original arcade release of Pac-Man was famously bootlegged and remixed several times in the 1980s. Arcade operators accepted modified boards that would change the gameplay in subtle ways, with the aim of drawing more players into their doors. By far the most common of these was to increase the general speed of the game, but other changes altered ghost patterns and behaviors. Crazy Otto was born of this milieu, originally pitched by GCC to the officially sanctioned distributor of Namco’s Pac-Man for North America, Midway Games.
Depending on which source you are reading, any number of relationship permutations thereby occurred between GCC, Midway, and Namco. Doug Macrae of GCC has gone so far as to say that Nakamura Masaya himself approved of assets used in the final commercial release of Ms. Pac-Man. On the other hand, it seems that the game set a precedent whereby Midway felt more than happy to leverage the Namco licensed likeness of Pac-Man for a number of unsanctioned sequels to the original game. This would lead ultimately to the end of Namco’s distribution deal with Midway in the mid 1980s.
The specifics are murky, and tied up in a great deal of “he said, she said” that dates back to 1981. What is clear is that between the ingenious base designs of Iwatani Toru, the upstart programming moxie of Doug Macrae, and the marketing and distribution capabilities of Midway, there was potential for Ms. Pac-Man to be a special game even its most nucleic state.
Benj Edwards has helpfully fixed the original arcade release date of Ms. Pac-Man as 3 February, 1982. That date heralded the coming of one of the absolute greatest games of all time. Ms. Pac-Man surpasses the original Pac-Man in numerous ways, by my own estimation. The first thing the player may notice is the more complex maze layouts, now including two sets of warp tunnels per side. There are in fact four new mazes in Ms. Pac-Man (including one with single warp tunnel) that rotate every three or four levels. The fruits that spawned mid-level in Pac-Man OG now bounce through the mazes, forcing the player to make choices about whether or not they were worth pursuing. The look and sound of the game has been altered, with the maze walls drawn as solids rather than hollow barriers and new sound effects at every turn.
Most notably, the primary antagonists of the game have been overhauled. Whereas Pac-Man’s ghosts were governed by fixed AI-esque routines, Ms. Pac-Man now must content with pseudo-random behavior from the ghosts. True experts at the original game would no longer be able to rely on proven tactics to achieve their high scores, thereby (at least on paper) forcing then to pop in more quarters into this new machine.
There is also the matter of the game’s central figure. She may not fit a current working definition of the phrase, but Ms. Pac-Man is de facto gaming’s first Strong Female Character. She was capable of everything her male counterpart could do, and more. When you consider that she accomplished more or less the same work load as her husband (claim territory in a variety of mazes by eating all of the dots) faster and with a stronger opposition, you could fairly make the case that Ms. Pac-Man was in fact a stronger lead than her predecessor. And while it is difficult to cite actual numbers to support the notion that Ms. Pac-Man has the knock-on effect of attracting women into arcades, it is certainly the Ur instance of a game marketing directly towards a segment of the population not already targeted by existing products. Iwatani’s problematic “make a game about eating to attract women” concept for Pac-Man is set aside for a simpler one: “Why not let people play as a girl for once?” It doesn’t improve the game directly, but as an intangible “it” factor it has certainly helped to keep Ms. Pac-Man relevant.
And remain relevant it has. Ms. Pac-Man has a singular distribution history after its arcade release, with a freakishly long list of developers and publishers. At one point I had optimistically hoped that OG Pac-Man would be the most complicated installment in this series. Jeff makes plans, and Ms. Pac-Man laughs at them.
After the February 1982 release into American arcades (which mentions Nakamura Masaya by name in a “Hello” callout), there was a year’s wait before the Atari-contracted General Computer Corporation put forth their conversion of the game they developed for the venerable VCS. This was a three man job, as opposed to the solo effort on 2600 Pac-Man, and there is a marked improvement here. There is the stupid, slavish adherence to the “black backgrounds for space games” internal design principle within Atari, and the pervasive flickering on ghost sprites makes its unwelcome return. On closer examination, however, this is a superior conversion. There is an effort to recreate the Ms. Pac-Man maze layout here, including the double warp tunnels on either side. the player is now harried along by four ghosts as well. Bonus fruits bounce along as expected, with a decent little thud sound effect. The entire aural palette of the game is in fact vastly improved here, including a noble and not entirely unsuccessful rendition of the Ms. Pac-Man jingle. Both this and Pac-Man the First were outgunned by Alien, in my opinion, but this is a good start for Ms. Pac-Man on Atari platforms.
I say a good start, because we’re going to go for a hat trick and more here; Ms. Pac-Man’s first four home conversions (non-microcomputer division) landed on Atari platforms. The second of these, the 5200 conversion that arrived on store shelves in September 1983. The Pac-Man that was available at launch for this lame duck of a system was quite good, and this is just ever so slightly better on the strength of being a slightly better game on the whole. There’s also a little more detail here on the ghost sprites when compared to OG Pac-Man, which is precisely the sort of hair splitting this project was built to document. We even get rudimentary recreations of the “cutscenes” from the arcade game here! A fine conversion, one that hangs among the best arcade conversions on the 5200 platform.
(Note: this CGR review uses direct capture of the game, which has it running better in some of the emulated footage I could find)
Ms. Pac-Man turns up again during the June 1984 test launch of the Atari 7800, alongside the four other Namco titles developed by GCC for the console’s release. Like the rest of that ill-fated set, these wouldn’t see a full retail launch until mid-1986 after the Atari split (documented here). This is honestly a fantastic port. The aspect ratio of the mazes is preserved from the arcade original, the ghosts now leave behind score numbers when eaten, you get four mazes in rotation, and the cutscenes are touched up from the 5200 version. The whole thing also moves at a nice, frantic clip.
Of course, that’s not the only Ms. Pac-Man released on the system. Pac-Man Collection, released by Opcode Games in the late 2000s, also includes a conversion of Ms. Pac-Man for the system alongside the previously covered port of Pac-Man. Not bad at all by homebrew standards, the collection uses the more advanced POKEY sound hardware that the 7800 could utilize in lieu of its onboard 2600 sound. The Pac-Man conversion in this collection is solid, but the Ms. Pac-Man doesn’t quite hang compared to the official port. It’s just a bit choppy, and moves slower than the sanctioned release. Again, for a hobbyist piece it is hardly bad, and the plus of having both games and a slew of extras on one cartridge is a pretty big bonus. But if you want the best, get the original version.
We shall close this long overdue entry into the NamCompendium with a smoldering hot first: our inaugural coverage of the Atari Lynx. Much like how Commodore basically bought a new computer line when it licensed the Amiga, Atari Corporation partnered with (and eventually purchased outright in bankruptcy proceedings) Epyx. Their handheld hardware featured an ambidextrous design, a full color display, and a revision that included a compact fluorescent bulb as a backlight because what in the hell was wrong with these people are you kidding me.
Exact release dates for Lynx games are virtually non-existent, but thankfully the two titles we’ll cover on the Lynx were released in different calendar years and are therefore easily arranged chronologically. Ms. Pac-Man came to the Lynx in 1990. This port helpfully includes credits at the title screen, which allowed me to credit the developers in the Giant Bomb Wiki. As far as the game goes, it’s an incredibly shrill sounding port that feels like Ms. Pac-Man was squeezed onto a postage stamp. None of the scrolling maze nonsense from Game Boy Pac-Man here, you get the full maze on screen at all times. You also get the different maze layouts, cutscenes, and cores popping out of enemies and fruits. The ghost sprites are not as detailed as prior versions, but when you consider this ran on a 160×102 pixel screen it becomes understandable. This first portable version of Ms. Pac-Man would be unopposed for about three years, at which point it could be measured against Game Boy and Game Gear ports. Until then, just for not bothering with the awful scrolling viewport feature, this is fine.
We’ll be having a look at both of the aforementioned conversions next time. Stick around as well for about half a dozen developers having a crack at Ms. Pac-Man, including both versions released for the NES (hooray for Tengen!), our first fleeting glimpse of the CD-i, Ms. Pac-Man as the launch game for Xbox Live, and more!

Finalists announced for Comcast Community Champion of Year Award
By NBC Sports StaffOct 27, 2022, 11:00 AM EDT
Xfinity Series driver Josh Williams, Sherry Pollex and Jes Ferreira have been selected as the finalists for the 2022 Comcast Community Champion of the Year Award.
The award was created to recognize philanthropic efforts of individuals within the NASCAR industry.
The 2022 Comcast Community Champion of the Year will be selected by a panel of Comcast and NASCAR executives, as well as Curtis Francois, Owner of World Wide Technology Raceway, who received the award in 2021 for his work with The Raceway Gives Foundation, which focuses on STEM education and diversity.
Comcast will award $60,000 to the champion’s affiliated charity, and $30,000 to each of the two remaining finalists’ selected charities. The 2022 Comcast Community Champion will be announced at a reception during NASCAR Champions Week.
Comcast’s Xfinity brand entered NASCAR as entitlement partner of the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2015 and is now also Premier Partner of the NASCAR Cup Series. Since then, the company has donated $840,000 to more than 21 different NASCAR-affiliated organizations to honor their efforts and to help further the impact of their worthy causes. Fans can visit ComcastCommunityChampion.com to learn more about past and present finalists and their acts of selflessness.
2022 Comcast Community Champion of the Year finalists:
Josh Williams — Many would argue that despite his NASCAR resume, Josh Williams – driver of the #92 DGM Racing car for the Xfinity Series – has even more impressive accomplishments off the track. Throughout his career, Josh has dedicated his time by visiting over 150 hospitals in person and, recently, even more via Zoom during the pandemic. Through these visits, he’s had the opportunity to meet with countless children, as well as their families, to show his support.
As an extension of these visits, Josh enlisted the help of OhmniLabs to use their Telepresence robots, which provide the opportunity for some of these children to virtually experience at-track garage tours right from their hospital beds. Josh’s efforts have also formed a relationship with the Ryan Seacrest Foundation, which builds closed circuit TV and radio studios in children’s hospitals throughout the country to increase experiences for patients who can’t make the trip out to the track.
To show his support for these children to the world, Josh collects a painted handprint of each child that he visits. For his last race of each NASCAR season, his race car is wrapped with a composite image of each of those children’s handprints, honoring them and the work of children’s hospitals around the world.
Sherry Pollex — After being diagnosed with stage 3c ovarian cancer, Sherry Pollex knew she wanted to help others who would one day be blind-sided by this terrible disease.
In 2016, Sherry launched SherryStrong.org; a website created to empower women to know their bodies and recognize the symptoms of ovarian cancer with a focus on healthy living through holistic and integrative medicine. However, the launch of Sherry Strong wasn’t the start of Sherry’s community outreach efforts, rather a continuation of them.
Sherry Strong serves as an arm of the Martin Truex Jr. Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization she developed with her longtime partner, Martin in 2007. The foundation was originally formed to help children with cancer. When Sherry received her diagnosis, the mission of the foundation was then refocused to raise awareness, boost advocacy, and generate financial support for underfunded cancer initiatives specific to childhood and ovarian cancers; two of the most prevalent and underfunded diseases affecting children and women in America today.
Through SherryStrong.org, social media channels, and appearances across the country, Sherry has spent years educating women about choices they have for their bodies, integrative and holistic medicine, self-care practices such as yoga, acupuncture, exercise, meditation, supplements and more. Sherry inspires women daily to find joy amidst the trials of life and to not let illness steal their gratitude or peace. Sherry educates women about the symptoms of ovarian cancer and how to advocate for themselves continuously until answers are found.
Jes Ferreira — Among all the turmoil of the pandemic, CSM Production’s Senior Director of Live Shows, Jes Ferreira looked for an opportunity to give back. Despite her heavy workload, she decided to take on an even heavier challenge, becoming a foster parent to two young girls, ages 5 and 8.
Jes originally earned a foster license to become a foster parent for one child but, a few months later, the child’s younger sibling needed a new foster home. Although Jes already had a crazy work schedule which included traveling to the race track most weekends on top of fostering one child as a single parent, she knew without a doubt these two siblings deserved to be together while in foster care. Now two young siblings who are going through the most trying time in their lives have been reunited thanks to Jes’ unselfishness and big heart.
On any given day, there are nearly 424,000 children in foster care in the United States. In 2019, over 672,000 children spent time in U.S. foster care. On average, children remain in state care for over a year and a half, and five percent of children in foster care have languished there for five or more years. Now Jes has given two of those nearly half a million children a safe home as well as new experiences that will help shape their lives for the better.
Jes’s affiliated charity is Foster Village Charlotte, an organization that allows foster parents to connect with and support each other. FVC collaborates with 16 private foster parent licensing agencies, local government, child welfare organizations and the community to serve families holistically and represent the foster family voice to Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services (DSS). | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2311 | {"url": "https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2022/10/27/finalists-announced-for-comcast-community-champion-of-year-award-josh-williams-sherry-pollex-jes-ferreira/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "nascar.nbcsports.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:33:06Z", "digest": "sha1:65NZOYEK3SVC6NHLP76U6JJJE4BJ6NBR"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 6008, 6008.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 6008, 34412.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 6008, 19.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 6008, 209.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 6008, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 6008, 250.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 6008, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 6008, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 6008, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 6008, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 6008, 0.38755556]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 6008, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 6008, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 6008, 0.04060089]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 6008, 0.02375152]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 6008, 0.02375152]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 6008, 0.01624036]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 6008, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 6008, 0.01116525]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 6008, 0.02436054]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 6008, 0.02111246]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 6008, 0.01777778]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 6008, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 6008, 0.14933333]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 6008, 0.46576763]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 6008, 5.10995851]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 6008, 0.00088889]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 6008, 5.49423583]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 6008, 964.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 65, 0.0], [65, 111, 0.0], [111, 274, 1.0], [274, 374, 1.0], [374, 678, 1.0], [678, 914, 1.0], [914, 1375, 1.0], [1375, 1430, 0.0], [1430, 1900, 1.0], [1900, 2395, 1.0], [2395, 2709, 1.0], [2709, 2881, 1.0], [2881, 3224, 1.0], [3224, 3768, 1.0], [3768, 4313, 1.0], [4313, 4605, 1.0], [4605, 5151, 1.0], [5151, 5613, 1.0], [5613, 6008, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 65, 0.0], [65, 111, 0.0], [111, 274, 0.0], [274, 374, 0.0], [374, 678, 0.0], [678, 914, 0.0], [914, 1375, 0.0], [1375, 1430, 0.0], [1430, 1900, 0.0], [1900, 2395, 0.0], [2395, 2709, 0.0], [2709, 2881, 0.0], [2881, 3224, 0.0], [3224, 3768, 0.0], [3768, 4313, 0.0], [4313, 4605, 0.0], [4605, 5151, 0.0], [5151, 5613, 0.0], [5613, 6008, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 65, 9.0], [65, 111, 9.0], [111, 274, 26.0], [274, 374, 14.0], [374, 678, 51.0], [678, 914, 35.0], [914, 1375, 71.0], [1375, 1430, 8.0], [1430, 1900, 79.0], [1900, 2395, 77.0], [2395, 2709, 55.0], [2709, 2881, 29.0], [2881, 3224, 52.0], [3224, 3768, 81.0], [3768, 4313, 80.0], [4313, 4605, 51.0], [4605, 5151, 96.0], [5151, 5613, 86.0], [5613, 6008, 55.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 65, 0.0], [65, 111, 0.23809524], [111, 274, 0.025], [274, 374, 0.0], [374, 678, 0.02684564], [678, 914, 0.06140351], [914, 1375, 0.02654867], [1375, 1430, 0.0754717], [1430, 1900, 0.01091703], [1900, 2395, 0.0], [2395, 2709, 0.0], [2709, 2881, 0.00595238], [2881, 3224, 0.0119403], [3224, 3768, 0.01512287], [3768, 4313, 0.0], [4313, 4605, 0.00704225], [4605, 5151, 0.0], [5151, 5613, 0.03563474], [5613, 6008, 0.00515464]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 65, 0.0], [65, 111, 0.0], [111, 274, 0.0], [274, 374, 0.0], [374, 678, 0.0], [678, 914, 0.0], [914, 1375, 0.0], [1375, 1430, 0.0], [1430, 1900, 0.0], [1900, 2395, 0.0], [2395, 2709, 0.0], [2709, 2881, 0.0], [2881, 3224, 0.0], [3224, 3768, 0.0], [3768, 4313, 0.0], [4313, 4605, 0.0], [4605, 5151, 0.0], [5151, 5613, 0.0], [5613, 6008, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 65, 0.09230769], [65, 111, 0.26086957], [111, 274, 0.0797546], [274, 374, 0.07], [374, 678, 0.08881579], [678, 914, 0.05508475], [914, 1375, 0.0802603], [1375, 1430, 0.07272727], [1430, 1900, 0.04468085], [1900, 2395, 0.02222222], [2395, 2709, 0.02866242], [2709, 2881, 0.02906977], [2881, 3224, 0.02332362], [3224, 3768, 0.02022059], [3768, 4313, 0.01100917], [4313, 4605, 0.04794521], [4605, 5151, 0.00915751], [5151, 5613, 0.01948052], [5613, 6008, 0.03797468]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 6008, 0.6588394]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 6008, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 6008, 0.80120748]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 6008, -192.6500395]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 6008, 85.4123978]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 6008, -40.20196637]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 6008, 41.0]]} |
China Hopes Its J-20 'Mighty Dragon' Can Shoot America's Stealth Fighters Right Out Of The Sky

Stealth capabilities are increasingly perceived as necessary for keeping fighter pilots alive on the modern battlefield.
by Sebastien Roblin
Here's What You Need To Remember: The J-20’s short-range capabilities naturally lead to the question—what exactly happens when two stealth fighters clash? If their stealth qualities are robust, both aircraft may only be able to detect each other within 50 miles or less—at which point air combat maneuvers could prove important. As U.S. stealth aircraft are one of the chief military threats to China, it seems reasonable to assume the J-20 would be designed to have a fighting chance against them.
In January 2011, the maiden flight of a large, dagger-like grey jet announced that China had developed its first stealth aircraft—the Chengdu J-20 “Mighty Dragon.” Six years later, after several substantial revisions, J-20s entered operational service with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force.
As radar-guided missiles from fighters and ground-based launchers threaten aircraft from dozens, or even hundreds of miles away, stealth capabilities are increasingly perceived as necessary for keeping fighter pilots alive on the modern battlefield.
But just how good is the J-20? And what is its intended role? After all, America’s first stealth fighter, the F-117 Nighthawk, was not even really a fighter and lacked any air-to-air capability whatsoever.
The PLA has, true to custom, kept its cards close to the chest, and has not shared performance specifications to the public. Thus, there are broad estimates of the J-20’s top speed (around Mach 2), and considerable-seeming range (1,200 to 2,000 miles), but those remain just that—estimates. For years, analysts even over-estimated the aircraft’s length by two meters. It’s broad but relatively shallow weapons bay can accommodate four to six long-range missiles or bombs, though not munitions with especially heavy warheads.
International observers generally concluded the large twin-engine jet possessed high speed and long operational range, but that the Mighty Dragon lacked the maneuverability necessary to prevail in close engagements with enemy fighters. Relatively modest aerobatic displays in the Zhuhai 2016 and 2018 airshows (you can see some of the latter here) reinforced the narrative in certain quarters that the J-20 isn’t optimized for gut-wrenching air combat maneuvers.
Given the above premises, observers mostly speculate the J-20 would either serve as long-range supersonic strike plane, or a hit-and-run interceptor used to slip past fighter screens and take out vulnerable supporting tanker and AWACS planes.
However, Rick Joe of The Diplomat argues these theories of the J-20’s supposedly specialized role might be a case of group-think, ignoring both design features and statements by Chinese sources suggesting the J-20 was intended as a multi-role fighter with “competitive” dogfighting capability.
For example, a brochure distributed at Zhuhai 2018 explicitly stated the J-20 was capable of “seizing & maintain air superiority, medium & long range interception, escort and deep strike.” In other words, a multi-role fighter.
“A commonly insinuated premise is that the Chinese aerospace industry was not capable of producing a fifth generation air superiority fighter, and would have to “settle” for a less technically challenging interceptor or striker instead,” Joe argues.
He points out that the lengthy J-20 is still shorter than the Russian Su-35 Flanker-E, one of the most maneuverable jet fighters ever designed. He further cites a 2001 study by Song Wecong, mentor of the J-20 designer Yang Wei, which you can read translated here. Wecong wrote that stealth aircraft “must have the capability to supercruise and perform unconventional maneuvers such as post-stall maneuvers.”
Song concluded the ideal stealth fighter would incorporate canards (a second, small set of wings close to the nose of the plane), leading-edge root extensions (or “strakes,” a thin surface extending where the wing emerges from the fuselages), and S-shaped belly intakes, in order to balance stealth, speed and maneuverability. These are all design characteristics evident in the J-20.
While details on the J-20’s radar remains elusive (presumably a low-probability of intercept AESA radar), it also mounts arrays of electro-optical and infrared sensors with 360-degree coverage, reportedly designed to fuse sensor data to form a common “picture” and even share it with friendly forces via a datalink—technology seemingly modeled on the advanced sensors found on the American F-35. Such sensors could be particularly useful for detecting radar-eluding stealth aircraft.
J-20 pilots also are equipped with helmet-mounted sights that allow them to target high-off-boresight PL-10E heat-seeking missiles within a 90-degree angle of the plane’s nose simply by looking at the target. The short-range missiles are stored in small side-bays but can be cunningly rotated outside prior to launch, as depicted here.
These by no means unprecedented capabilities nonetheless suggest that the J-20 may be designed to hold its own in a close-range encounter, not just sling long-range hypersonic PL-15 missiles from its fuselage bay from dozens of miles away. Particularly when engaging agile fighters, short-range missiles (which might still threaten targets over a dozen miles away) have a much higher probability of a kill—by some estimates, up to 80 percent.
Chinese designers have also expressed interest in incorporating vector-thrust engines in the J-20. These have moving exhaust nozzles to assist in pulling off tight maneuvers. The PLAAF recently acquired Su-35 fighters from Russia with vector-thrust engines, and also reportedly tested domestic vector-thrust turbofans on a J-10B two-seat fighter.
Despite the awesome maneuvers enabled by vector-thrust engines, they are far from being automatically included in modern fighters. This is because they significantly add to weight, cost, and difficulty in minimizing radar cross section (RCS). Moreover, when vector-thrust engines are over-used in combat, they can bleed off energy rapidly, leaving the aircraft sluggish and vulnerable to enemy fighters (as occurred in one exercise in Nevada pitting U.S. F-15s against Indian Air Force Flankers). For this reason, few Western fighters incorporate vector-thrust technology, the F-22 being a notable exception. China’s interest in thrust-vectoring again suggests it sees relevance in agility.
The J-20’s short-range capabilities naturally lead to the question—what exactly happens when two stealth fighters clash? If their stealth qualities are robust, both aircraft may only be able to detect each other within 50 miles or less—at which point air combat maneuvers could prove important. As U.S. stealth aircraft are one of the chief military threats to China, it seems reasonable to assume the J-20 would be designed to have a fighting chance against them.
While the J-20 would likely remain outclassed by the F-22, it could potentially prove a dangerous adversary to the F-35, which is not as optimized for within-visual-range engagements. However, both the F-22 and F-35 are believed to have a significantly lower all-around RCS than the J-20, though the Chinese fighter still appears to be significantly stealthier than the Russian Su-57.
A 2011 analysis by Australian aviation expert Carlo Kopp concluded that J-20 probably had strong stealth from a frontal aspect, but a larger radar cross section (RCS) when scanned from the side or rear—a limitation also found in the Russian Su-57 stealth fighter.
But as the extent and type of the radar-absorbent materials used affect RCS, visual analysis alone cannot determine how stealthy an aircraft is. This has not dissuaded the U.S. Marine Corps from a building a full-scale mock-up of a J-20 in Georgia for study and training purposes. The Indian Air Force has boasted its Su-30 Flankers have tracked J-20s on radar, but as stealth fighters often employ emitters called “Luneburg Lens” to enlarge their RCS on routine flights, and thus conceal their true capabilities, it’s difficult to infer much from this either.
Another issue confusing analysis of the J-20 is that it doesn’t yet have the high-thrust WS-15 turbofans the PLAAF envisioned for them, and are making do with Russian AL-31F engines instead. Even China’s fourth-generation jets have been frustrated by deficient jet engines. The WS-15 generates 23 percent more thrust than the AL-31FN, and would enable the J-20 to super-cruise, or sustain supersonic speeds without resorting to fuel-gulping afterburners. Thus, certain more aggressive projections of J-20 performance, such as a top speed of Mach 2.5, may be premised on engines that have yet to be fully developed.
As long as the PLAAF has only a few dozen J-20s in service, it may make sense to reserve them for hit-and-run tactics and special deep strikes. But as the article in the Diplomat points out, there’s ample evidence the J-20 may be intended to grow into a capable all-rounder that can hold its own in a dogfight.

Wedding Decorations Agia Varvara
The church decoration for this wedding was simple yet stunning. At the entrance we placed two metallic bases in a bronze color with two pots on them in the same color. Two impressing floral arrangements decorated the pots. Green hydrangeas, pink roses, burgundy chrysanthemum, fuschia lysianthus and wax were among the flowers we used. The Wedding Candles were placed in the indoor space of the church decorated with the same flowers used in the outdoor arrangements. The Wedding Set was also picked from our store. The tray was mirrored with gold details and the carafe with the glass also had gold details. The Wedding Stefana were wooden in combination with silver details. The bridal bouquet was made from green hydrangeas, pink roses, burgundy chrysanthemum, fuschia lysianthus, wax and safari.

Managing personal information

Note that under some legislations we may be allowed to process information until you object to such processing (by opting out), without having to rely on consent or any other of the following legal bases below. This, however, does not apply, whenever the processing of Personal Information is subject to European data protection law; (ii) Provision of information is necessary for the performance of an agreement with you and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof; (ii) Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which you are subject; (iv) Processing is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us; (v) Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party.

Weekly Economics Podcast: A Beginner’s Guide to Neoliberalism
Latest episode of our award winning podcast – subscribe on iTunes!
For the next six weeks, we’re doing something a bit different. We’re telling the story of neoliberalism, from the beginning. We call it A Beginner’s Guide to Neoliberalism.
We first ran the series back in 2015, but it’s as relevant as ever. It’s presented by the journalist Kirsty Styles alongside James Meadway, who at the time was chief economist at the New Economics Foundation.
Part 1 — The basics
In part 1, James and Kirsty start with a history of our economic system, the difference between capitalism and neoliberalism, and examine how neoliberalism came to dominate modern day economics.
Part 2 — The House That Hayek Built
Economist James Meadway and journalist Kirsty Styles continue their 6‑part miniseries about neoliberalism. In part 2, they tell the story of how the once obscure ideas of theorist Friedrich Hayek moved from the fringe to the mainstream, ushering in the age of neoliberalism.
Part 3 — World Domination
James Meadway and Kirsty Styles explain how neoliberalism came to dominate economies around the globe.
Part 4 — Acceptable in the 80s
James Meadway and Kirsty Styles explain how neoliberalism took hold in the UK in the 1980s.
Part 5 — The End of History?
James Meadway and Kirsty Styles discuss how neoliberalism lives on today.
This episode was recorded back in August 2015 and a lot has changed since then. The good news is James and Kirsty will be back for a brand new episode in a couple of weeks’ time, telling the story of the backlash against neoliberalism over the past few years.
Part 6 — The Alternatives
Kirsty Styles and James Meadway talk about the alternatives to neoliberalism.
This episode was recorded back in August 2015, which feels like a million years ago. We still think it’s worth listening to, but a lot has changed since then. James and Kirsty will be back for a brand new update episode next week, bringing us bang up to date on the alternatives.
It’s been 4 years since Kirsty Styles and James Meadway told the story of neoliberalism, from Hayek to Thatcher to the end of history. But we got the band back together, alongside NEF chief executive Miatta Fahnbulleh for a brand new up to date episode which you can listen to here.

Ultimate Investing Advice from Mr. Wonderful
by New Mexico Digital News
Kevin O’Leary (AKA Mr. Wonderful) might be the world’s favorite (and most outspoken) investor. You’ve probably seen him on Shark Tank, where he’s doing deals with startups, putting overconfident entrepreneurs in their place, and often making boring products into billion-dollar companies. Kevin has the Midas touch, or at least it seems that way on television. Still, he doesn’t shy away from mentioning failures and the enormous lessons he’s learned that eventually led him to make hundreds of millions of dollars.
But before Kevin was Mr. Wonderful, he was just Kevin, the local ice cream scooper who learned a hard lesson about being an employee. After college, Kevin started a production business, which eventually led him to create The Learning Company, a $4.2 billion business that allowed Kevin to enter into a new stage of wealth. Since then, he’s been aggressively investing in (and building) private companies inside and out of Shark Tank. And after investing so heavily and working so hard, Kevin knows EXACTLY what makes a company (and investment) succeed or fail.
Today, we get a glimpse inside Kevin’s personal investment portfolio, the three things he thinks EVERY entrepreneur should have to make it big, and why diversification is one of the most CRUCIAL ways to build and protect your wealth. You’ll also hear how to invest in startups like Kevin does, why Kevin makes big bets on women entrepreneurs, and how he’s investing during today’s recessionary environment.
Mindy:
Welcome to the BiggerPockets Money Podcast, where we interview Mr. Wonderful, Kevin O’Leary, and we talk about whatever he wants.
Kevin:
What I’m really shaking the stick at and shaking the bushes, if you want to call it that, and shouting out is if you’ve got a small business, get your ERC money now. Get it now before they end that program. It’s your money. It’s cash. There’s no cost to it other than the hassle and the time, but boy, I can’t find a better source of financing for my companies.
Hello. Hello. Hello. My name is Mindy Jensen and with me as always is my also wonderful co-host, Scott Trench.
Scott:
With me, as always, is Mrs. Amazing, Mrs. Fantastic, Mrs. Wonderful, Mindy Jensen.
Aw, thanks Scott. Scott and I are here to make financial independence less scary, less just for somebody else to introduce you to every money story because we truly believe financial freedom is attainable for everyone, no matter when or where you are starting.
That’s right. Whether you want to retire early and travel the world, go on to make big time investments and assets like real estate, start your own business or invest in private businesses like those seen on Shark Tank. We’ll help you reach your financial goals and get money out of the way so you can launch yourself towards your dreams.
Scott, today we have Mr. Wonderful, and this is such a fun episode. We kind of go in several different directions and I’m so excited to talk to him today. I’m so excited to bring this episode to our listeners.
Yeah, it’s a wonderful episode and we are very, very lucky and fortunate to be able to learn from Kevin and his incredible money story, learn from how he’s designing his portfolio today. I think there’s a lot of really good nuggets there. This is a brilliant businessman and it’s a privilege to learn from him. Mindy, I have a quick question before we get going here, if you were invited on Shark Tank, because, of course, Kevin O’Leary, Mr. Wonderful, our guest today is one of the Sharks on Shark Tank, what business would you present for investment?
Oh. Scott, I’m not sure. I would have to think about that. Do you have a business you would pitch?
I think I would, I have this idea for a community of real estate investors that would help, it would have kind of educational content like podcasts and YouTube and books. It would have tools like calculators and property management software and deal finding solutions and all those different kinds of things at a marketplace of investor friendly real estate agents and lenders. I would probably bring an idea of that sort to the show and pitch it. I’d be sure to really know all of my numbers and be able to kind of pitch the overall value proposition in 90 seconds or less though.
That is very interesting. I like that idea, Scott. I hope that someday I can find something just like that, smart aleck. All right, we have a new segment here on the BiggerPockets Money podcast called The Money Moment where we share a hack, a tip, or a trick to help you on your financial journey.
Today’s Money moment is, do you love eating out, but you find that it’s killing your cash flow? Use apps for low-cost eating. This includes Groupon, BigDish and Hooked, and don’t underestimate the value of Happy Hour. If you have a money tip or trip for us, you can email it to [email protected] Before we bring in, Kevin, let’s take a quick break.
We’re back. Kevin, I think you deserve more than one adjective. Mr. Amazing, Mr. Fantastic, Mr. Wonderful, Kevin O’Leary, welcome to the BiggerPockets Money podcast. I am so excited to talk to you today.
Thank you so much and listen, sucking up really helps. I just love that. That’s wonderful.
I’ve watched your show. I am very excited about that.
It’s great.
Well, we’d love to learn about your money story, Kevin. How did you get started on your journey to becoming the business magnate that you are today?
I talked to a lot of entrepreneurs about that seminal moment, that unique moment that sort of pushes them down that path to entrepreneurship because if you think about life, two-thirds of the population doesn’t pursue this. It’s about a third and it’s not an easy life, but there’s always some moment. For me, it was very, very distinct. It was my first job. I was working at an ice cream parlor. I just got the job. It was after hours of high school and I only took it because the girl I was really interested in was working in the shoe store across the mall. She could see the ice cream store and I figured when I finished scooping, my job was I was hired as a scooper and then when we were done, we could hang out together. It was a big plan I had on my first day working.
The store was owned by a woman, great entrepreneur, obviously. She said to me after we’d finish the day, because when you scoop ice cream, people always ask for a taster, which you use a little wooden spoon and you take a little bit of the chocolate or whatever it is and they taste it, but they take their gum out first and throw it on the floor. I know this because I was a scooper.
At the end of the day, she said to me, “You got to get on your knees and scrape all the gum off the Mexican tile before tomorrow morning.” I said, I looked across the hall and there was that girl looking at me waiting for me to finish and I thought, “This is really bad for my brand if she sees me on my knees scraping the floor.” I said to her, “No. I can’t do that. You hired me as a scooper, not a scraper.” She said, “No. I hired you as an employee. I own the store. You do what I say.” I said, “Well, no can do. Scoopers have pride. We don’t scrape.” She said, “You’re fired.” Now, I didn’t even know what that meant, but I figured it out pretty quickly and I was very humiliated.
It was at that moment where I realized there’s two people in the world. One, the person the owns the store, and the other that scrapes the (beep) off the floor and you kind of have to decide which one you are. It doesn’t mean scraping the floor is a bad thing. It just means you have to know you’ll be happy doing that and I wasn’t. I never worked for anybody again in my life. I’m very fortunate to have met her.
Years later with a camera crew, I went back to try and find her, but the store and the mall had been torn down. I owe her my entire life. I mean, without her, I don’t know where I’d be, but she was the one that humiliated me into saying, “I’ll never work for someone again.” That is the most important moment in my life just in terms of how it all ended up.
You never worked for anybody else. What was your next job?
I worked summertime between semesters, but I never had a full-time job again. I worked as a brand manager for Miss Mew Pet Food by Nabisco Brands where I learned about making pet food for Casper that was for 90 days. I had to do something, but I just didn’t want to work for anybody anymore.
Then, as soon as I graduated out of college, I started a production company because I wanted to be a photographer and my dad said, “You’re not good enough to make a living doing that.” I always felt he was wrong, but I listened to him and I also wanted to be a rock star because I also played a lot of guitar and played at bands. He said, “You’ll starve to death.” He said, “You really should go back to business school and figure out what you’re going to do.”
While I was at school, I basically shot a documentary about the process of earning an MBA, a two-year program. That film actually went on to become one of the major sales drivers for that school. They gave me extraordinary marks when I graduated for it because no one ever done that before. Right after that, I started a production company. I started making films for the NHL, the Saturday intermissions, the Saturday afternoon games. We used to run around the original six, Detroit, New York, Boston shooting these things during the week.
I sold that company. I was a film editor on a Steam Deck, a soundman cameraman, you did everything in those days. I was earning a living doing what I really wanted to do. I think I did it trying to show my dad I could. I sold that company called Special Event Television for them, my first deal ever and started the learning company. That second company, we sold for 4.2 billion.
Life has a journey. It’s a serendipitous path. You don’t know what’s going to happen. You got to pursue your passions, but to this day, I still edit. Now, it’s obviously digitally Premiere Pro. Every weekend to keep my edit chops up, I joined my social media team and I cut something just to keep my chops because editing and storytelling are now part of the digital economy and you got to know what you’re doing. It’s come full circle for me.
I cut at 4:00 in the morning on a Saturday. It’s a creative process and I write my own music and I record it, so that we don’t have to pay royalties on it. I hate royalties unless I’m getting them. That way, it’s been an interesting ride.
Kevin, I want to ask you about your spending habits in particular when you were starting the production company or when times were leading up to that. Were you very frugal or would you have classified yourself as very frugal in those days?
No, I wasn’t. I learned the hard way. It’s a really interesting lesson about spending because I now work with very many wealthy families and even they outspend themselves. The only way to test yourself on this is to look at your spending habits over a 3-month period, 90 days. You can’t tell it in a week. You can’t tell it in a month because generally that spans sometimes on a holiday or something or a change of season or whatever it is. You got to take everything you spend money on. I’m talking about every dime, including a cup of coffee and put it down. Just write it down on the sheet on the right. You don’t need fancy spreadsheets here. You just have to add it all up.
Then, every source of income you have after tax, every dime you make, side hustles too, everything and I swear to you, 90% of the time, you’ll be outspending yourself regardless of how much money you make. It’ll end up on credit card debt at 21 to 23% interest. That’s how people get in trouble. They just can’t keep within their means, even when they’re really wealthy.
I mean, the more you have, the more you spend. I keep telling people, test, test your actual assumptions. Most of the time, the majority of the time, you’re outspending yourself. That’s how so many people get in trouble. I do not let that happen. I curb my enthusiasm. If I want another watch, I have to work harder.
Awesome. How did you finance that first production company? Was that something you started, you just kind of hustled in yourself while at school or how did that get going?
I begged my mother for $10,000 and swore to her that if she lent it to me, I’d give her equity in all my projects and I’d pay her money back. She said, “I just want you to pay it back.” Had she taken equity in the learning company, oh my goodness, I said to her, “Mom, why didn’t you take the equity?” She said, “I don’t need it. I just wanted back the money I lent you and you paid me back with interest. Thank you.”
I mean, she was very pragmatic, but she was the one that taught me everything about finance. She was very disciplined about spending, very disciplined on what she bought, how she lived her life. She was sort of the breadwinner for the entire family. All the lessons I’ve learned about portfolio management, she wasn’t a stock picker or a portfolio manager or a fiduciary, but she did better than most of the ones I know because she just believed in diversification. She had a portfolio.
Listen to this story, it’s just crazy. When she died, when she passed away, I was the older brother and the lawyers called me down to the office and said, “Look, your mother has a will and because you’re the older brother and we’re the fiduciary, we’re going to read you this will and it’s for you to distribute.” I said, “Well, I know we’re middle class family. I’m not expecting much here.” He said, “No. No. You’ve got to come down here.”
What my mother had done from her late 20s is kept a secret account even though she was married twice, she kept this secret from both of her husbands, you could do this back in the late ’50s. As she had put it into a portfolio of telco bonds, 50%, back then they were yielding 7% because she reasons that nobody would ever turn off their phone. They turn their heat off first cause they loved to talk so much and a whole portfolio of S&P 500 companies that paid dividends. She had that portfolio for 50 years and she only lived off the interest and the dividends.
The amount of capital appreciation during that period left her a very, very, very, very wealthy woman. I was just stunned. I called my brother up and said, “You’re not going to believe this. I mean, just,” and I looked at her portfolio, no sector, 11 sectors in the S&P, back then there were only 10, she only had 20% max at any sector like energy and no more than 5% at anyone’s stock. I mean, that’s genius. That way you never get blown up. She only spent what she was earning.
She put both my brother and I through college. She bought me my first car. She paid for everything for me until the last day of college. Then, she cut me off. Then, I begged her for that 10,000 after that, but that was the last she ever gave me. She didn’t need to give me any more. The lesson she gave me was more important, and I distribute that capital around the family that she left. I mean, my goodness, what a lesson.
Yeah, that’s fantastic. Long-term investing, great portfolio, it was just missing one piece in the learning company, I think, to put it into the 1 billion mark, right?
Well, listen, listen, everybody has their big one and I’ve had lots of failures since then and lots of successes, but nothing like the learning company. I mean, that was the one that set me free. I always say that, that’s the motto we have on Shark Tank, one idea can set you free forever. That’s what you need. You need a good idea and you need to stick to it. That’s the whole idea. Then, it sets you free.
I mean, entrepreneurship is not about the pursuit of greed. It’s not about money. It’s about the pursuit of freedom. That’s why the passion is there. The team, the learning company started with just nine people and we woke up one day after that sale and whoa, I mean, we’re rich. What do we do? We all went right back to work. I work harder today than ever, and I like what I do and I pursue many things, but it’s the things I want to do. I have the freedom to do that. Nobody, I don’t have to take a phone call if I don’t want to. I go wherever I would like, but I enjoy what I do and that freedom is something I deserve because I earned it.
Kevin, you see a ton of entrepreneurs on Shark Tank. What do you think makes a good investment and an investor worth investing in?
You need an alchemy of things to come together to be successful. If you think about venture investing since the 1950s when they started recording this in the Boston, Massachusetts area around MIT, about 8 out of 10 deals fail within three years and two make a thousand times on the money. It’s 80% failure rate.
The reason that happens is a wide range, but it’s never changed in terms of the percentage. When you make a bet, you’re going to be wrong 8 out of 10 times. The whole idea is trying to mitigate that risk in figuring out a few basic elements. Number one, can this entrepreneur pivot? Because whatever assumptions they’re making, particularly in NEIS’s startups, they’re wrong. Something’s going to come from market or from lack of executional skills or just black swan event, whatever it is, but can they pivot? That’s number one.
Number two, is the market they’re in disruptable? If you tell me I’m going to enter the peanut butter market, which has been around for a hundred years, and basically nobody gets a new share in that because the shelves are owned by retailers or by giant consumer goods companies, that’s not exciting for me. That’s why I don’t do hot sauce deals. I mean, as far as I’m concerned, who cares if the world has another hot sauce? Just doesn’t matter. That’s not a good place to go.
Lastly, this is something that I’ve learned as kind of a crazy statement, but so true, are they lucky? Is this a lucky entrepreneur? Someone once asked Napoleon, “What kind of generals do you want?” He said, “I want lucky generals.” I’m looking for lucky entrepreneurs and they have a certain aura about them. I can’t explain it, but I’ve been doing this for so long. I’m a pretty good judge of that. If you get all of that right, you got a winner. You just don’t know when or how. You need diversification. You got to do at least 10 deals to get to right.
That’s really interesting. I like that you said that you look for a company that, or you look for somebody who can pivot. I’ve seen your show and I’ve seen people who are so rigid and you guys ask questions, they’ll be like, “Well, no, it’s like this,” then that’s super interesting that you said that. Warren Buffet says he looks for companies with big moats. He invests in these companies that aren’t going to be disruptable for a very long time. I think that’s very important too. Deadpool too had that girl whose superpower was lucky.
That’s it. It’s sort of, another attribute, and I’ve got all this data for 15 years, is that 90% of my returns have come from companies run by women. In NEIS’ startups turns out mitigation of risk really matters. Return of capital is more important than return on capital. Women are very good at mitigating risk. That old adage will have something done, give it to a busy mother. Well, that’s certainly proven out in my portfolio. The big hits have always been run by women.
I’m a little biased. I back a lot of women entrepreneurs because I’ve had great outcomes. I always say this, look, I don’t want to start gender warfare, but I’d give money to a goat if I could get a return, but after a long period of seeing these outcomes, makes a lot of sense to back women entrepreneurs. I don’t think we do enough of that, but the outcomes are there. The data’s there.
Kevin, one third of the people on BiggerPockets and listening to this podcast are accredited investors and are financially capable of making investments similar to the ones that you and other sharks make on Shark Tank. One part of it is analyzing the deals, but another part, I think, for a lot of these newly minted accredited investors, newly minted millionaires, is finding these kinds of private investment opportunities. How would someone who’s not a shark on Shark Tank even begin getting access to get pitched investment opportunities or to go find them?
The Y Combinators, all of the NEIS’ startup forums online are good places to go. The other area that’s really exploded lately, and I’ve become not only a paid spokesperson, but a shareholder at StartEngine. I mean, it’s the largest equity crowdfunding platform in America where there’s quarter of a million in investors and you don’t have to put up a fortune.
You can be average investments by $250, but if you go there, you’ll see hundreds of companies that are startups that are basically selling their equity in an equity crowdfunding format. I always tell people, “Don’t buy one, buy a portfolio of 10 because you don’t know what’s going to happen, what’s going to work,” but the Jobs Act allowed for this format of democratizing venture investing. It used to be the purvey of the venture capital firms and now they have this incredible competition because equity crowdfunding lets customers become shareholders.
There’s lots of ways to invest, but I can’t stress enough about the portfolio approach. I mean, it’s really, really important not to just bet the farm on one deal. I certainly don’t, but you’ve got to have at least seven minimum and then just maintain that portfolio and you’ll fight over time. You’ll get liquidity. You’ll have some winners. You’ll have some losers. You just don’t know when that’s going to happen but the portfolio approach works.
Every time I do a season of Shark Tank, I always say, “Well, those four deals, those are the great ones out of the 10 or 11 I’m doing or whatever it is I’m doing.” It’s never that way. It’s never, ever, ever that way. It’s always the one that I thought was just a joke. It ends up selling for a hundred million dollars five years later. It’s just you don’t know. That’s the whole point.
Flipping the script to the entrepreneur side of things, what should an entrepreneur be doing to make themselves attractive to potential investors like yourself? What advice would you give them to show off, to make that investment more promising?
There’s three attributes you have to have, and if you don’t have them, you will fail for sure. These are found in every successful Shark Tank pitch. It doesn’t determine the outcome of the company, but it determines where they get a check.
Number one, you have to be able to articulate the opportunity in 90 seconds or less because if you don’t know where you’re going, no one’s going to follow you. If you can’t articulate it in 90 seconds, that’s way too much time. You should do it in 30.
Number two, what is it about you or your team that can execute on this great idea because great ideas are a dime a dozen. Executional skills are really hard to find. You have to prove to the investment community that you have executional skills or a history of executing or enough knowledge. Have you worked on this sector? Is it in the family business? Have you failed three times? You know what you did wrong? I have no problem investing in entrepreneurs that have failed before because they learn from that.
My attitude is those two are very important. If you get those right, you can start to see the path of less resistance to success, great idea, great executional skills, but the last one, and this is the killer, you got to know your numbers. How big is the market? How fast is it growing? What are the break even analysis? What’s the gross margin at each volume cycle? How many competitors are there? If you don’t know that, frankly, you get the first two right and you don’t know your numbers, you deserve to burden (beep) perpetuity.
I make sure on the context of Shark Tank that I put you there right away. I mean, you have to know your numbers. You get those three, you have a high probability of getting funded.
Kevin, is there anything that you would never invest in?
I used to say there were categories, but I invested a few years ago in Cat DNA testing kits. I mean, I thought it was a joke. The test is 29 bucks. You can buy a new cat for five, but I didn’t realize how, there’s 110 million cats in America and people really love their cats and these tests can extend their lives by 20% by telling you what to feed them based on their DNA. That was a wildly successful company.
For me, that’s not second guessing the market. Just Anna, the name of that entrepreneur, yeah, another woman, she had a great track record of great executional skills. I invested in her and that thing ended up being a monster hit for me.
You’ve said I invested in her several times. Do you invest in the person as much as the idea and the company or do you invest more in the idea and the company?
I have to love the idea. I have to love the product. I have to love the sector because very often, 8 out of 10 times, it doesn’t work out for that person that was running it and I have to make changes in management, but of course, I look at the entrepreneur. I want someone who I think has great executional skills that can pivot. I mean, that’s probably 50% of the battle.
Half is the product and the sector, half is the entrepreneur. If you don’t like the entrepreneur and I’ve seen plenty of great products run by really bad entrepreneurs that I would not invest in because I could just go find someone else that’s doing the same thing that’s a much better entrepreneur and have a much higher probability of success. That’s the way I look at it.
Love it. If you are in a kitten, a cat DNA company, would that preclude you or would you want to stay away from other companies in that sector or do you prefer to concentrate? How do you think about diversification in the context of this type of investing?
Generally speaking, if I have a horse in a race, a particular race, I stick with that horse. I don’t put two horses against each other. There are a few occasions where maybe that’s different, biotech, for example, different molecules I invest in, but if I’ve got someone in food services making cupcakes, which I did Wicked Good Cupcakes, everybody called me about their cupcake company after that company because it was so successful as Shark Tank, but I’d already gone through that experience with them. We sold to Hickory Farms. I know too much about the cupcake business.
It’s sort of, I’m going to take a breather from that sector right now because I know how hard it is to establish share in that, but I’m pretty diverse. I look at a lot of ideas and it’s about time and energy and money and where does it fit in the portfolio and does my team want to work with them? I mean, I get shown so much stuff, so many deals, it just, it’s a waterfall of opportunities and we have to pick our fights and we’ve got 50 plus portfolio companies right now, 50, that’s a lot of companies.
Well, one last question I’d like to ask is about how you think about the holistic portfolio overall. For example, when I have excess cash, I put it into an index fund or whatever. I’m wondering what does Kevin O’Leary do with excess cash? Do you set it aside for these types of investments? Do you stick it into bonds or index funds? What are your thoughts on investing for your personal portfolio?
It’s a great question because the Fed has been raising rates faster than they ever have since the 1960s, the cost of capital for investors and for small businesses has soared so dramatically because people say, “I can get 4.2% in money market account now, and that’s good, but inflation’s still north of six,” but that’s not the truth about access to capitals for small investors or small businesses. Their costs are high as 30% now.
I want to make a point to people that are listening that I have just learned of a few weeks ago, and we’ve now done this for all of our companies, our entire portfolio, I was made, one of the mandates that O’Leary Ventures runs is a portfolio, a venture portfolio for the legislature of North Dakota. One of our deals, our most successful shark tank companies was a company called PRx Performance.
I became knowledgeable of the merits of North Dakota and investing there and the stable tax policy, inexpensive energy and a lot of different things that make that a really good investible state, but in dealing with treasury who funded that mandate, I learned something that I didn’t know about, and I think everybody listening should listen to this, there was a program instituted at the same time in 2020 that PPP was brought into the market and everybody remembers PPP. We applied for it successfully for many of our companies to the Bank of America and all the banks administered PPP, and it was either a loan or a grant to whatever combination thereof for you.
At the same time, there was a program launched called the Employment Retention Credit. Basically, what it said was, at that time, and this is why it’s so important to understand this now, if you took PPP, you couldn’t apply for the employment retention credit and that program was 170 pages. Virtually, nobody tried to apply for it. It was too complicated, but then in the beginning of 2021, and this is where the story meanders and gets really interesting and what a wake-up call for me this is, they changed the law. The pandemic was so bad. They said, “Okay, we don’t care if you took PPP, you can still apply for the employment retention credit,” but nobody knew that.
Recently, and this is, the money’s already been spent over $250 billion, been through the budget, it’s gone. It went through treasury to the IRS. It’s sitting at the IRS. If you had a small business with W2’s in 2020 or 2021, that’s your money. You just have to go get it.
First of all, I didn’t believe it because I’d never heard of it. Frankly, if there was a program like that with the amount of companies I have, I would’ve heard about it, but I didn’t. The first thing I did was call some of the senators and governors I worked with and worked for. They’d never heard of it either. Nobody’s heard of this. This program is like a ghost and it’s real. It’s real.
The first thing I did is called up all of my CEOs have said, “Everybody, let’s go get these credits because the cost of capital for us right now is 17, 18, 19, 20, 21% credit card debt or even higher for short-term payroll loans up to 30%. This is money that’s not a loan, it’s cash that we can put right on our balance sheet. That’s when I learn how hard it is to get it. I mean, you need an expert.
What I did is I formed what’s called the Wonder Trust, and I’m shouting it out right now, I’ve got a whole team of experts that can book an appointment with you and tell you in a few minutes if you can apply or not. Then, if you can, we’ll do the entire application for you and track it through the IRS. We have enough infrastructure now. Since I started talking about this two weeks ago, we’ve had thousands of requests and I’ve become a paid spokesperson for the program, and I’m going to be for the next 25 months because it’s only around for 25 months, I’m shouting out to America, go get your ERP, your employment, sorry, your ERC, your employment retention credit. You have to get this.
Either you try and fill it out yourself or go to Wonder Trust, but if you don’t get this money, it’s yours. It’s yours. It’s already been spent. It’s already in the deficit, already gone. For me, this thing, the CRC thing is like, I’m on a mission here. I am just, every one of my companies has applied. Generally speaking, if you have 50 employees, you’ll make about 450,000 cash it’ll take you four months, but some of our companies have over a hundred and they’re getting 1.1 million cash.
This is our number one mandate in cash management now, number one, only for 25 months. Shout it out to your, tell everybody, go get this money, including you guys. If you had employees back in 2020, 2021, this is the most incredible opportunity I’ve ever seen. If you applied today, you’ll get your check in about four and a half months. It takes a long time. It’s complicated. You must have your W2 records, but we’ve done it hundreds of times now. We’ve got this thing nailed down. I’ve built a whole infrastructure for it.
It’s a really, I mean, nobody even believes it. I didn’t believe it. I didn’t believe it. It’s non-dilutive. You don’t give up equity. It’s not a loan. It’s your money that the government gave you to stay in business in 2020 and 2021. You forgot to go pick it up. It’s like you parked your car in a parking lot and you forgot about it. That’s the way to look at it.
We’re scrambling. We’re just scrambling because while we’re raising money, giving up equity or borrowing and usury rates or using credit card to fund our companies, this is the best source of capital there is. Most of my companies have more than five employees. You need 5 to 500. That’s what you have to have and then the rules are set in how you get it, but basically you get $26,000 per employee.
Well, that’s a fantastic tip. The CRC and what’s the name of the company that you’re working with that will help you apply?
Just go to wondertrust.com. That’s all you have to do.
Well, since you mentioned a really important point here, which is that the cost of capital has gone up dramatically because of rising interest rates. How would you think investors should think about that in the context of their overall portfolios with this? Is there an allocation away from these startups and venture backed, venture capital type investments towards debt, for example? What are you seeing or thinking about?
Well, that would make intuitive sense. If you think it’s much harder to start a business than it is, but the truth is, if you go back in history, the most incredible outcomes have been companies that were started in times of supreme economic stress, the financial meltdown. You should always have between 5 and 10% of your portfolio in venture, but not more.
Five to 10 is enough because that’s where your most extraordinary returns are going to come from, but with rates at 4.2% on cash right now, I’m now 30% in just fixed income products or duration less than five years, but I’m still 70% equities because I’m still finding that, my thinking is that we’re probably 80% through the Fed hikes and that we’re probably going to end up in a soft landing scenario.
Nobody had thought that was possible, but it’s very likely because how can we possibly have full employment. Unemployment under 4%? There’s never been a recession with unemployment under 4%. I don’t think we’re in a recession. We’re in some kind of funky chicken different zone because we put $4 trillion of free cash in the market over the last 36 months. And
That money hasn’t gone through it yet, and that’s why we’re in this holding pattern while the Fed decides where they’re going to go. Inflation’s still a serious problem. Core inflation energy and food is still a problem, but I’m always optimistic for America and equity in companies that do great job solving problems. I tend to be a little more biased towards equity, but my equity portfolio is very large captive in paying stocks. I take my risk, obviously, on venture startups. I have many of them, but I also love dividends and that’s how I pay the rent, speaking that way.
Is that 30% allocation to debt a recent change in the last year or two or was that always the case or have you rebalanced as a result of the rising rates?
No, I rebalanced seven years ago. I used to be 50/50. I’m so glad I did. I’m down. I reduced my exposure to bonds. Bonds had a great run. I mean, they had a 20-year run, but I don’t think they’re that attractive right now. Even 10-year bond doesn’t even be an inflation. That’s not a good outcome for you. It’s a safe place to preserve capital while you’re looking for a home for it, but it’s not a great return under any scenario. You have to decide how much liquidity you want.
I agree, you should have some liquidity, but there’s other eclectic alternative assets. I buy watches that’s beat the S&P by 11% over the last four years. My watch collection is a great alternative asset. Some people buy modern art. I like watches. I own some Bitcoin. That’s actually been one of my better performers this year. Everybody knows the funk that cryptocurrencies are in, but the granddaddy assets Bitcoin, I have some of that. I have some gold, 5% weighting in gold, but my portfolio is pretty conservative.
The number one issue and this is what my mother taught me, by what she did was diversification. Never more than 20% in anyone’s sector, never more than 5% in anyone’s stock ever. That’s how you protect yourself in good and bad times.
Kevin, this has been a fascinating discussion. We really appreciate your time and your insight here today. Thank you so much. Where can people find out more about you? Where should they follow you on this social media channel?
Well, if they have deals and we can invest in, if they have ideas in North Dakota, go to wonderfund.com or go to olearyventures.com, upload your deck. I’ve got a whole team of analysts looking at them. We are open for business. We’re announcing two new fundings next week. We are doing deals like crazy in North Dakota right now. You can certainly go to wondertrust.com if you think you can apply for an ERC loan. That’s something worth doing. If you have a small business, if you haven’t got your ERC loan, don’t wait. I mean, do not wait. It’s a remarkable opportunity. That’s at wondertrust.com.
Awesome. I think BiggerPockets will follow up and look into that for our business. Just on quick question on your fund, are they open to both investors who wish to participate as investors? Are they 506(c) and two businesses that are looking to invest or are you just looking for businesses?
Well, we’re doing both. We have a lot of money to put to work. We’re trying to find companies we can invest in, but we also have, in this next deal, we’re going to announce, we brought in a co-investor that approached us and we’re being approached by a lot of co-investor saying, “What’s up in North Dakota? We are hearing a lot of good things about it. What’s up in Montana? What’s up in Florida? What’s up in Tennessee, in Texas?”
We form these groups. I mean, everything’s just go to olearyventures.com. You’ll find, you’ll see everything there, but I’m really shaking the stick at and shaking the bushes, if you want to call it that, and shouting out is, if you’ve got a small business, get your ERC money now. Get it now before they end that program. It’s your money. It’s cash. There’s no cost to it other than the hassle and the time, but boy, I can’t find a better source of financing for my companies.
Wonderful. We appreciate that, and I will definitely check that out personally and encourage other folks with businesses to look into it as well. Thank you so much, Kevin. We really appreciate it.
Take care. Thanks. Bye-bye.
Thank you, Kevin. All right, Scott, that was Mr. Fantabulous, Mr. Wonderful, Mr. Amazing. I could go on forever, Kevin O’Leary. That was kind of a quick masterclass in investing and just being awesome.
Yeah, I learned a lot from him. I think that, I love how he said the term when he invests in a deal like those seen on Shark Tank, he’s looking for an alchemy that involves multiple ingredients, including entrepreneur, a little bit of luck, knowing their numbers, being able to describe what they’re doing in 90 seconds or less, but also, he’s open to a number of different ideas and knows that $100 million return can come from your cat DNA company. We love our cat.
I suppose that after this show, I’m going to tell Virginia about this company, and I’m sure if little Freddy can get a couple more years of life, that we’re going to be taking into consideration, figuring out what kind of food or whatever. I had no idea that was a thing. Yeah, I’m trying to imagine having the conversation with Virginia about just getting a new cat for $5. It’s investing in and saving Fred. I don’t think it’s a financial decision there.
No. That’s the thing. It’s not a financial decision. It’s an emotional decision. That’s something that should have popped up within this conversation when you can make a product or invest in a company that is pulling on the heartstrings of people, people are making, people are buying this product or service based on emotion instead of rationality, people don’t make rational decisions, they make emotional decisions. A rational decision does not buy a $30 cat DNA test so that you can then buy more expensive food for your cat. A rational decision-
Yeah. Fred ate something he wasn’t supposed to a couple months back and we spent three days in the kitty ER for $3,000. This is not a investment decision. This is a part of our family that we were more, we have completely avoided any type of purchase for food or plants or anything of that sort that could possibly be like that, 100% agree.
Yeah. It’s an absolutely emotional decision. You know what? Kevin, if you’re listening, that’s what makes a good investment when people buy based on emotions. All right, Scott, should we get out of here?
Let’s do it.

What Do Men Want?
“Daddy, why is it that guys look into their Kleenex after they sneeze and girls don’t?” Because, I explained to my precocious daughter (she was then 8 or 9), men consider it an accomplishment. Be glad we don’t display it to others, or put it under glass at the Venice Bienniale. It’s the sort of thing my late wife would have said, and since she’s not here I feel obliged to keep up both ends of the male-female dialectic.
Or maybe I just need a testosterone refill. According to a new study (“Longitudinal Evidence That Fatherhood Decreases Testosterone in Human Males”), child interaction suppresses testosterone.
It’s typical of the culture’s current befuddlement over male identity that the newspapers don’t know whether to present this as good news or bad. On the one hand, testosterone is virility. Men with higher testosterone levels, the stories point out, are likelier to mate. Being an involved dad makes you a little bit of a sissy. No wonder Norman Mailer wasn’t interested! On the other hand, testosterone is a toxic chemical. Too much of it can give you prostate cancer or a heart attack, or make you overuse your car horn. “Screw you,” Jonathan Franzen can tell Katie Roiphe, who famously bemoaned the passing of literature’s tumescent and multi-wived male generation. “Oprah Winfrey made me a millionaire!”
Testosterone may explain why, as Hanna Rosin put it last year in the Atlantic (“The End of Men”) “the modern, postindustrial economy is simply more congenial to women than to men,” as evidenced by women’s superior performance in much of the workforce and their disproportionately high representation in colleges and grad schools. Maybe we need a federal program to get 13 year-old males to father children so they can acquire and maintain the social skills necessary to propel them through school and the modern office environment. On the other hand, without an excess of testosterone men might face expulsion from the upper reaches of corporate and political power, where aggression and obnoxious self-regard prevail.
Maybe we could have a dial placed on our foreheads. Turn it up when you want us to take you to bed or to argue with the contractor. Turn it down when you want us to change a diaper or sit through the ballet.

New James E. ‘Jim’ King Life Sciences Building moves biological science mission forward
Published: September 9, 2008 | 12:00 am | SHARE:
After many years of separation, diverse areas of biological science have come together under one new roof to help drive the dynamic present and limitless future of biology research at Florida State University.
The dedication of the $55 million, 181,000-square-foot James E. "Jim" King, Jr. Life Sciences Building was held on Friday, Sept. 12.
Located at 319 Stadium Drive, in the northwest quadrant of campus that has been transformed by 21st-century construction committed to science and medicine, the King Life Sciences Building brings together and supports the teaching, research and service missions of FSU’s Department of Biological Science. Connected via underground tunnels to the adjacent College of Medicine and Department of Psychology buildings, the beautifully distinctive, state-of-the-art facility is the latest addition to the university’s new nexus of interdisciplinary life-science education and research.
"Senator Jim King, a proud alumnus of this university, has been an enthusiastic and long-term supporter of Florida State who is dedicated to higher education and to advances in biomedical research, and it is therefore fitting that we are naming our wonderful new building in his honor," FSU President T.K. Wetherell said. "In fact, Jim was instrumental in helping us to secure the funds for this essential facility. It stands today as a testament to his regard for FSU and his commitment to our students and faculty and the citizens of this state, all of whom will benefit from the enhanced opportunities here for top-notch science education and research."
"Jim King has attributed much of his own success to this institution, and in return he has helped FSU succeed in positive, practical ways that will indeed pay quality-of-life dividends far beyond Tallahassee," said Jim Smith, chairman of the FSU Board of Trustees.
King, R-District 8, served for 12 years in the Florida House of Representatives. Elected to the Florida Senate in 1999 and subsequently re-elected, he was the Senate Majority Leader from 2000-2002 and Senate President from 2002-2004. His enthusiasm for FSU — where he earned both a Bachelor of Science degree and a master’s in Business Administration — has spanned both academics and athletics. A College of Business scholarship fund bears King’s name, and he has served on the board of the FSU Seminole Boosters.
"Florida State and Jim King have long formed a mutual admiration society," said Board of Trustees member William Andrew Haggard. "We all are immensely appreciative of his genuine affection and tireless advocacy."
Completed in June, the King Life Sciences Building consists of two bright, airy five-story wings connected by a two-story central lobby that draws the outside in and the occupants together.
The facility features a combination of low-sloped and steeply pitched roof areas designed to blend in with the Jacobean Revival architectural style throughout the rest of the campus. Between the eye-catching artwork in the main lobby that tells the department’s history and the four greenhouses on the top floor, students attend lectures and laboratory classes; use computer laboratories; assemble in the 150-seat auditorium; meet with advisors, mentors and tutors; and conduct original research in specialized areas of biological science.
The building also is home to scientists who lead world-class research in cell and molecular biology, ecology and evolution, environmental science and physiology and neuroscience. They represent the commitment shared by their department and FSU’s Pathways of Excellence initiative to increase the number of faculty who can bridge not only diverse, cutting-edge areas of biology but also other sciences and academic pursuits.
A growing group within the Pathways of Excellence "Integrating Genotype and Phenotype" faculty cluster epitomizes that commitment, according to biological science Professor W. Ross Ellington, FSU’s Associate Vice President for Research. "This unique, highly interdisciplinary cadre of biological science faculty is seeking to better understand the connection between the information contained in the genetic material and the observable attributes of the fully developed organism," he said.
"For example, studies led by professors David Gilbert and Hank Bass are focused on the packaging of genetic material into chromosomes and how that packaging influences the normal functioning of cells and the development of whole animals and plants," Ellington said. "Another study, led by Professor David Houle, is investigating the genetic basis for evolutionary change. Meanwhile, newly hired Professor Kim Hughes is examining genetic variability in organisms and the ways in which this variability influences such things as reproductive success and life span."
For all that research, an adaptable laboratory design in the King Life Sciences Building allows teaching labs to be converted to research labs as needed. Lab modules permit the easy reconfiguration of fume hoods, laboratory utilities and power to the benches. Core support areas are placed in the center of each floor, while most of the labs are situated around the outside to give researchers plenty of natural light from the large windows.
Then there’s the building’s "green" design, which incorporates both mainstream sustainable features and some extra ones required for LEED registration and eventual certification, such as bike racks and preferred parking spaces for low-emitting vehicles; landscaping with lower-water-demanding plant species; designation of open space adjacent to the project; low-flow shower heads, and an indoor air quality management plan.
The green theme goes through the roof, literally, to the biological science department’s rooftop greenhouse complex, which is used for plant genetic research.
"This is an exceptional new physical environment," said Professor P. Bryant Chase, chairman of the department. "It gives us exciting new opportunities for teaching and working with students, conducting world-class research, and providing service to the university, the local community, the state of Florida and the scientific community."
LLT Building Corporation managed the construction of the James E. "Jim" King Life Sciences Building, which was designed by the team of Tallahassee-based Elliott Marshall Innes, P.A. (EMI), the architect of record, and the Atlanta office of Lord, Aeck & Sargent.

Lincoln System Upgrades Mt. Wilson Telescope
MIT Lincoln Laboratory researchers have recently installed a 69-channel adaptive-optics system on the 60-inch telescope at the Mt. Wilson Observatory in southern California.
This adaptive-optics system, called ACE (for Atmospheric-Compensation Experiment), will dramatically enhance telescope performance by correcting for atmospheric turbulence-the phenomenon that makes stars twinkle and dance. Without turbulence correction the resolving power of a telescope (that is, the smallest angular separation at which two stellar objects can be distinguished) is only 0.5-1.0 arc sec, even at an excellent site such as Mt. Wilson. With the ACE system, however, the 60-inch telescope has the potential to achieve a resolution of 0.07 arc sec.
The increased resolution that adaptive-optics can provide to ground-based telescopes opens the door for many potential astronomical discoveries; for instance, it may be possible to observe planetary systems in the process of forming around stars.
Lincoln Laboratory originally developed the ACE system for DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) for use in compensating laser beams propagating through the atmosphere. In the early and mid 1980's Lincoln Laboratory researchers conducted a long series of laser experiments with the ACE system at an observatory on the top of Mt. Haleakala on the island of Maui, Hawaii.
These experiments were first sponsored by DARPA and then by SDIO (Strategic Defense Initiative Organization). In 1985 Lincoln Laboratory used the ACE system in a laser propagation experiment to the space shuttle Discovery-the first SDIO shuttle experiment. Later in 1985 Lincoln Laboratory used ACE in experiments to instrumented sounding rockets-the first demonstration of atmospheric compensation for a laser beam propagated from ground to space.
In the interest of transferring technology to the civilian sector, SDIO has funded Lincoln Laboratory to refurbish the ACE adaptive-optics system and to install it at Mt. Wilson. It is expected that further work with the ACE system will be funded by NSF (the National Science Foundation). With the ACE system installed, Lincoln Laboratory and Mt. Wilson scientists will collaborate in operating the system for astronomical observations.
The Mt. Wilson Observatory was established in the early 1900's under the directorship of George Hale. The 60-inch telescope, commissioned in 1908, occupies a prominent place in the history of astronomical telescopes. Designed by the noted telescope maker George Ritchey, it was the largest telescope in the world at the time and the first successful large, all-reflecting telescope. As such, it ushered astronomy into the twentieth century. Although over 80 years old and by today's standards no longer a "large" telescope, the Mt. Wilson 60-inch telescope remains a superb optical instrument.
With the installation of the 69-channel ACE system, the Mt. Wilson 60-inch telescope now has the largest adaptive-optics system operating at an astronomical site (surpassing the 19-channel system at the European Southern Observatory 3.6-meter telescope in Chile). Thus, this venerable telescope is helping to lead astronomy into the next century. In the twenty-first century adaptive-optics systems should become standard equipment for all ground-based telescopes, and the next generation of 8-10 meter telescopes equipped with adaptive-optics will provide unprecedented views of the cosmos.

Coconut oil or olive oil? Know the benefits and the best options for health
Cooking oils are frequent targets of nutritional myths, sometimes popularizing themselves as heroes, sometimes as villains of diets. Coconut oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, butter, margarine, olive oil – all have had their moment in the spotlight.
When it comes to dietary fats, the main characteristic to be observed to say if a food is healthy is the chemical composition of the lipids. The most recommended are those rich in unsaturated fats, as is the case with most vegetable oils. This type of lipid helps lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.
The most common cooking oils, such as soybean oil, have a high concentration of this type of fat and are therefore safe. However, according to nutritionist and doctoral student in public health at the UCES (University of Business and Social Sciences) in Argentina, Ney Felipe, oils should not be seen only as a source of fats, but as complete foods, capable of providing other nutrients.
For him, the most beneficial is olive oil. Present in large amounts in Mediterranean diets, this oil is rich in unsaturated fats, but also has polyphenols and vitamin E in its composition. Such antioxidant substances are present in fruits and vegetables and are capable of fighting free radicals, in addition to preserving nutrients from other foods in the recipe.
A study published in 2020 suggests that olive oil may also be beneficial for the gut microbiome, which in turn positively influences weight loss and immune system functioning.
Flaxseed, chia, sunflower and canola oils are also good alternatives, as they are rich in omega 3, 6 and 9. These substances are polyunsaturated fats with cardioprotective, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory characteristics.
Endocrinologist and board member of the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology of Paraná, Daniele Cristina Tokars Zaninelli, warns that even the healthiest oils should be ingested in moderation. Although rich in good fats, if consumed in excess, they can also lead to obesity, which facilitates the emergence of metabolic diseases such as diabetes.
The least recommended oils are those rich in saturated fats, such as those of animal origin, such as lard and butter. This type of fat, however, is also present in some oils of vegetable origin, such as coconut and palm.
The endocrinologist claims that this type of oil increases the levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in the bloodstream – a type of fat that increases cholesterol deposits in blood vessels and the liver, and can disrupt circulation and metabolism.
The WHO (World Health Organization) recommends that saturated fats do not exceed 10% of total caloric intake. Ney Felipe says that these fats, present in fast foods and ultra-processed foods, for example, are very common in Western diets and, therefore, oils rich in this type of lipid should be avoided.
He says he does not believe, however, that these foods need to be abolished from the diet. “We have to stop looking for this dichotomy between savior food and demonized food, it all depends on the context. Correct nutrition nutrition has to do with balance.”
Experts agree that oil consumption should not be analyzed in isolation. A healthy lifestyle includes fruits, vegetables and foods rich in protein and healthy fats, as well as a good intake of fiber and water; moderate consumption of sugars and carbohydrates; sleep care and regular practice of physical exercises. Choosing the most suitable cooking oil is just one of these factors.

How Washington came to bail out American banks
WASHINGTON (AP) — After the sudden collapse of Silicon Valley BankCalifornia Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters began frantically working the phones to find out what was going on with the failed borrower – and what would happen to its panicked depositors.
Waters, a former chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, was skeptical that another bank would step in as a rescuer and buy the failing company.
“Banks don’t wake up and say: ‘Oh, there’s another significant bank in trouble, they’ve collapsed. Let’s just take it,'” she said.
The weekend kicked off a flurry of briefings with regulators, lawmakers, administration officials and President Joe Biden on how to deal with the demise of the nation’s 16th largest bank and financial institutions for tech entrepreneurs. At the heart of the problem are billions of dollars, including companies that have payments sitting in Silicon Valley bank accounts that are not protected by federal deposit insurance, up to $250,000.
Something must be done, federal officials acknowledged, before Asian stock markets opened Sunday evening and other banks faced the possibility of a panicked withdrawal Monday morning.
“We were racing against the clock,” said Bharat Ramamurthy, deputy director of the National Economic Council.
Waters is right to be skeptical about closing sales on the plane. The bank’s size — $210 billion in assets — and complexity made it difficult to close a deal quickly.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Officials told Republican senators on Monday that they had secured offers for the bank over the weekend but did not have time to close; They said they could put the Silicon Valley bank back up for bid, a person familiar with the conversation said, requesting anonymity to speak on a private call.
But another plan came up. On Sunday, Waters spoke by phone with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to explain to him how it would work. The central bank created a new emergency program that allowed it to lend directly to banks so they could refinance without selling assets to raise money. The idea was to reassure depositors and prevent the bank from running on other institutions.
By Sunday night, the Treasury Department, the Fed and the FDIC said the federal government would protect all deposits. – Even those that exceed the FDIC’s $250,000 limit.
“It’s really amazing,” Waters said, adding that “it’s an example of what government can do with the right people and working together.”
The appreciation was not unanimous.
In a call Monday with officials from the FDIC and Treasury Department, Republican senators expressed concern that millionaire Silicon Valley depositors are being bailed out — and the cost could be passed on to community banks in their home states in the form of higher assessments for federal deposit insurance. , according to a person familiar with the discussion.
Trouble began last Wednesday when the Silicon Valley bank said it needed to raise $2.25 billion to shore up its funds after suffering big losses on its bond portfolio, which has plummeted as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates. On Thursday, depositors rushed to withdraw their money. The old-fashioned bank run was on.
At a House Ways and Means Committee hearing Friday morning, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said her agency is “very carefully monitoring” developments related to the bank. “When banks are experiencing financial losses, that should be a matter of concern,” he told lawmakers.

Biden was briefed on the situation Friday morning, a White House official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. Then she celebrated an unexpectedly strong February jobs report, jetting off to Wilmington, Delaware to mark her grandson’s 17th birthday to meet the head of the European Union.
His weekend would soon be consumed with phone and video calls focused on preventing a nationwide banking crisis. Regulators were so concerned that they didn’t wait until the end of business on Friday — standard practice — to close the bank; They closed the doors during working hours.
It was the second-largest bank failure in US history and trickier than most: an astonishing 94% of Silicon Valley bank deposits — including large cash reserves of tech startups — were not insured by the FDIC.
As administration officials and regulators worked through the weekend, Biden expressed concern for small businesses and their employees who rely on accounts that are now at risk, a White House official said.
There were also fears that if Silicon Valley bank depositors lost money, others would lose confidence in the banking system and rush to withdraw money on Monday, triggering a crisis, the official said.
Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Jake Auchinclose’s phone started lighting up before the weekend. The Silicon Valley bank had eight branches and offices in its home state, and word of its failure traveled fast on social media.
“The panic within Massachusetts’ industrial and nonprofit sectors intensified within hours,” Auchincloss said. “My phone started blowing up.”
Silicon Valley Bank won’t just collapse. By Sunday evening, federal authorities announced that New York-based Signature Bank, a major lender to New York landlords, was also in bankruptcy.

The government’s scheme, which covers deposits of more than $250,000, also applies to Signature’s customers.
In a statement Sunday, Biden said, “The American people and American businesses can trust that their bank deposits will be there when they need them.”
On Monday, Powell announced that the Fed would review its oversight of Silicon Valley banks. The review will be conducted by Michael Barr, the central bank’s vice chairman who oversees banking supervision, and will be released on May 1.
Now Biden and lawmakers are calling for legislative changes to tighten financial rules at regional banks, perhaps restoring parts of the Dodd-Frank Act that tightened bank regulation after the 2008-2009 financial crisis but was repealed five years ago.
Waters said it may be time to raise deposit insurance limits. “We can’t say it’s an emergency and forget it,” he said.

ABOUT BALLET HISPÁNICO
Ballet Hispánico, the premier Latino dance organization in the United States, brings individuals and communities together to celebrate and explore Latino cultures through dance. Whether dancing on stage, in school, or in the street, Ballet Hispánico creates a space where few institutions are breaking ground. The organization’s founder, National Medal of Arts recipient Tina Ramirez, sought to give voice to the Hispanic experience and break through stereotypes. Today Ballet Hispánico is led by Eduardo Vilaro, an acclaimed choreographer and former member of the Company, whose vision of social equity, cultural identity and quality arts education for all, drives its programs. Ballet Hispánico, a role model in and for the Latino community, is inspiring creativity and social awareness in our neighborhoods and across the country by providing access to arts education.
EDUARDO VILARO joined Ballet Hispánico as Artistic Director in August 2009, becoming only the second person to head the company since it was founded in 1970. In 2015, Mr. Vilaro took on the additional role of Chief Executive Officer of Ballet Hispánico. He has been part of the Ballet Hispánico family since 1985 as a dancer and educator, after which he began a ten-year record of achievement as founder and Artistic Director of Luna Negra Dance Theater in Chicago. Mr. Vilaro has infused Ballet Hispánico’s legacy with a bold and eclectic brand of contemporary dance that reflects America’s changing cultural landscape. Born in Cuba and raised in New York from the age of six, he is a frequent speaker on the merits of cultural diversity and dance education.
Mr.Vilaro’s own choreography is devoted to capturing the spiritual, sensual and historical essence of the Latino cultures. He created over 20 ballets for Luna Negra and has received commissions from the Ravinia Festival, the Chicago Sinfonietta, the Grant Park Festival, the Lexington Ballet and the Chicago Symphony. In 2001, he was a recipient of a Ruth Page Award for choreography, and in 2003, he was honored for his choreographic work at Panama’s II International Festival of Ballet. In 2016, he was inducted into the Bronx Walk of Fame.

Xcel Energy Unveils Minnesota Electric Vehicle Plans
Betsy Lillian
Minneapolis-based utility Xcel Energy has announced plans to invest more than $25 million in support of electric vehicles (EVs).
In a filing with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, Xcel Energy announced a range of EV programs focused on three main areas: home charging, public charging and fleet operations. The company’s goal is to test new EV services that can be expanded to all Minnesota customers over time.
“EVs present an opportunity to make the most of our clean energy investments while creating new and affordable options for our customers,” says Chris Clark, president of Xcel Energy-Minnesota. “Our plan is the culmination of months of research and discussions with stakeholders who are as invested in the future of EVs as we are. We look forward to giving drivers and fleet operators the knowledge, tools and options they need to go electric.”
For residential customers, Xcel Energy plans to offer a new subscription service that will provide drivers with a set bill for EV charging and equipment each month. The company is also providing options that encourage drivers to charge their EVs overnight. Xcel Energy is also looking to offer digital tools that help customers understand their options when it comes to vehicle choices, pricing options and charging solutions.
Public charging
Xcel Energy is working to build the infrastructure for fast-charging networks. One proposed initiative is a fast-charging corridor pilot that will leverage public and private funds to increase the availability of fast-charging stations on highways and other major corridors.
Working with the cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, the company has also proposed a pilot to support a charging network for everyone who travels through the Twin Cities. Through a partnership with HOURCAR, Xcel Energy will also support an all-electric, one-way car-sharing service and other mobility services in the Twin Cities. This project will increase access to the benefits of electric transportation, especially those in low-income communities.
Xcel Energy plans to make it easier and more affordable for large fleet operators – such as Metro Transit, the Minnesota Department of Administration and the City of Minneapolis – to integrate EVs into their fleets.
Xcel Energy plans to provide infrastructure to charge the first eight of Metro Transit’s electric buses. The new 60-foot buses will serve the C-Line, a new rapid bus route connecting Brooklyn Center, north Minneapolis and downtown Minneapolis, beginning in 2019. Xcel Energy is also looking to provide charging infrastructure for 200 ports for the State of Minnesota’s fleet and 90 charging ports for the City of Minneapolis’s EV fleet.

6 Helpful Tips for Successful Geofencing in Birmingham, AL
Birmingham is Alabama’s largest city and is a major cultural and economic center in the southeastern United States. It is also home to several corporations, such as the Alabama Power Company, Regions Bank, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama. At the same time, it is also an excellent opportunity to invest in geofencing marketing.
Geofencing marketing is a location-based marketing strategy that uses GPS or Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) to establish a virtual boundary in a physical location.
Whenever a mobile device enters or exits the area, it triggers an alert to the consumer, such as a displayed push notification, targeted coupon, or an offer. You can convert potential customers into sales by targeting customers near your business or in a targeted location.
Here are some pointers to consider if you’re looking to start geofencing in Birmingham:
1. Determine the Geographical Boundaries for Your Geofence
For one, your target area’s size and shape will help you find the number of points in geofencing in Birmingham. You can use the city’s official website with a Geographic Information System (GIS), Google Maps, or get a physical copy of the map of Birmingham, Alabama, to trace your geofencing scope.
2. Find a Geofencing Solution
After mapping out the target area’s size and shape, it’s time to find the right geofencing solutions and tools for your business or organization. You may use readily available resources or start from scratch. Cost, easy setup, accuracy, and scalability are a few things to consider when finding software for your geofencing solution and development.
3. Give It a Test Run
Once you have created your geofence, you must test it to ensure it’s fully functional. Setting up an actual device by manually changing its location and checking the geofence is triggered as expected. You can also test its effectiveness by placing a machine outside the boundary and a simulated one inside the zone.
4. Identify Your Target Audience
Identifying your target audience is part of launching a successful geofence marketing campaign. A specific target audience can help you create more relevant and specific marketing messages and materials. At the same time, it helps you better understand their wants and needs. Ultimately, correctly identifying your target audience can help you convert traffic into sales and make better business decisions.
5. Craft a Clear and Compelling Call to Action
Additionally, crafting a clear and compelling call to action (CTA) can help convert visitors into loyal customers. Through persuasive copy and design, your CTA can also help promote your brand.
6. Notify Responsibly
After creating clear and specific messages and launching your geofence marketing campaign, the last thing is to find the right timing in sending potential visitors the notifications. If you notice your visitors too early, they may not have time to act on the information. However, if you inform them too late, they may have already left the premises.
Also, it would help not to send them too many notifications. You want to inspire engagement, not irritate people.
Plotting Your Business’ Success

The Magick of Ewaz – Robert Morga
(The author of this book asked that I not use his “copyrighted artwork” in my post, so I will just include this piece of my own artwork so that the post doesn’t look boring to my viewers.)
IGOS – 1993
Edit 2023: I was actually lucky enough to hear from the author about this review (in the comments section below the review), and he was gracious enough to correct me on a few mistakes I had made in my original post. I have gone through the post to rectify my all of my mistakes. I hope this updated review is more accurate.
Here’s another GREAT book from the International Guild of Occult Sciences, The Magick of Ewaz. Ewaz is supposed to be a demon, and while his name sounds very similar to Aleister Crowley’s Aiwass, there doesn’t seem to be a link between these two entities.
ROBERT MORGA THE FAMOUS Magician claims to have written this grimoire in a cold, scary, demon-haunted cellar. Maybe that’s why it’s so full of BRILLIANT MATERIAL. This AWESOME piece of WRITING is supposed to be a powerful grimoire of black magic, but it reads like SOMETHING EVEN BETTER THAN THAT.
The author spends most of the text boasting about how powerful and clever he is, and then he gives a few REALLY GOOD spells alongside some doodles. PROOF OF HIS GENIUS.
This is seriously TOP tier stuff. It’s printed on somebody’s work (or highschool) photocopier, and the author is an EXCELLENT writer. He repeatedly spells sacrifice ‘sacrafice’, uses the word ‘alot’, and has A VERY GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF comma usage. Did EVERYbody at IGOS proofread this EXCELLENT BOOK?
I’m running out of things to say about GREAT BOOKS like this. How is there so much of this AWESOME STUFF? I have a few more texts put out by IGOS, but they’re all quite a bit longer than this one, and I don’t want to waste my time NOT reading them. These books are laughably BRILLIANT. I honestly find it difficult to imagine anyone NOT taking this REALLY CLEVER BOOK seriously.
On his old website, the author described this book as”the best grimoire on this planet.” HE WAS RIGHT. He doesn’t seem to have written much else, but this book went through several editions. I think this is the earliest one. It weighs in at about 20 pages. The 6th edition is 133 pages long. I’m sure the addition of more than 100 pages made it much better…

World Finance Drives Business Growth with White Clarke Group’s Loan Origination Software
Alpharetta (July 29, 2020) – World Finance has successfully implemented White Clarke Group’s CALMS Loan Origination Software (LOS) to maximize the efficiency of its operations.
The partnership delivers sophisticated underwriting and funding functionality to World Finance’s processes, automating loan origination and improving transaction speed.
World Finance initially selected White Clarke Group to complete a Proof of Concept, which involved the implementation of the company’s CALMS base origination product with the client’s configuration. Within 90 days, the proof of concept trialled successfully at three World Finance branches.
The companies then proceeded with full implementation of the LOS. This process involved the inclusion of additional features and commenced rollout at all World Finance branches before September 2019.
“We piloted a number of loan origination software solutions to find the best all-round fit and felt that CALMS provided the level of detail we were looking for,” said Jason Childers, SVP of IT at World Finance. “We’re pleased with the quality of the product, which has improved the efficiency of our processes to help us better serve our customers.”
Shim Mannan, EVP Product and Business Development at White Clarke Group, commented: “We’re thrilled to have been selected by World Finance. The success of this project can primarily be attributed to the strong partnership between the World’s IT and Business teams, and their counterparts at White Clarke Group. This implementation strengthens our position in the Consumer Finance space.” | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2337 | {"url": "https://nonprimetimes.com/world-finance-drives-business-growth-with-white-clarke-groups-loan-origination-software/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "nonprimetimes.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:00:25Z", "digest": "sha1:PBKK2JR57GPZJ7F7JG6YMT472BXFCGCF"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1663, 1663.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1663, 4530.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1663, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1663, 201.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1663, 0.92]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1663, 332.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1663, 0.31506849]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1663, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1663, 0.06034483]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1663, 0.04956897]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1663, 0.02586207]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1663, 0.03082192]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1663, 0.14726027]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1663, 0.55918367]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1663, 5.68163265]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1663, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1663, 4.54539741]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1663, 245.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 89, 0.0], [89, 266, 1.0], [266, 435, 1.0], [435, 726, 1.0], [726, 926, 1.0], [926, 1276, 1.0], [1276, 1663, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 89, 0.0], [89, 266, 0.0], [266, 435, 0.0], [435, 726, 0.0], [726, 926, 0.0], [926, 1276, 0.0], [1276, 1663, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 89, 12.0], [89, 266, 25.0], [266, 435, 19.0], [435, 726, 42.0], [726, 926, 29.0], [926, 1276, 60.0], [1276, 1663, 58.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 89, 0.0], [89, 266, 0.03529412], [266, 435, 0.0], [435, 726, 0.00699301], [726, 926, 0.02030457], [926, 1276, 0.0], [1276, 1663, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 89, 0.0], [89, 266, 0.0], [266, 435, 0.0], [435, 726, 0.0], [726, 926, 0.0], [926, 1276, 0.0], [1276, 1663, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 89, 0.12359551], [89, 266, 0.10169492], [266, 435, 0.01775148], [435, 726, 0.05154639], [726, 926, 0.04], [926, 1276, 0.04571429], [1276, 1663, 0.06459948]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1663, 0.19748861]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1663, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1663, 0.12276214]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1663, -123.05730269]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1663, 19.23469327]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1663, -47.43484246]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1663, 11.0]]} |
Boris Johnson must commit to using Article 16 insists DUP leader
todayFebruary 6, 2022 9
DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has called on Boris Johnson to give a firm commitment that he will trigger Article 16 of the Northern Ireland Protocol if agreement cannot be reached with the European Union.
Sir Jeffrey has urged the Prime Minister not to be distracted by controversies within Downing Street and to give problems in Northern Ireland “the attention they deserve”.
After collapsing the Executive this week, the DUP threatened not to return to powersharing unless issues around the protocol are resolved.
On Sunday, Sir Jeffrey said he hopes the issues are resolved before the Assembly election scheduled for May.
He told Sky News: “It disappoints me that our Prime Minister cannot give a firm commitment today that if there is not agreement reached with the European Union, he will take the steps that are necessary to restore Northern Ireland’s place within the UK internal market.
“That means triggering Article 16. That’s the commitment I need to get from this Prime Minister.
“Let’s get our political institutions restored on the basis of sound foundations, that means dealing with the protocol, making these issues our priority so that the people of Northern Ireland can enjoy a strong, stable government.
“That’s what we expect of a prime minister. We can’t go on like this. We can’t go on with a situation where serious problems like we have here in Northern Ireland are not getting the attention they deserve.”
The protocol was designed to prevent a hard border on the island of Ireland, but has created new trade barriers between Northern Ireland and Britain in the Irish Sea.
The use of Article 16 would effectively suspend elements of that agreement.
UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and European Commission vice-president Maros Sefcovic are set to meet again in London next week to continue negotiations aimed at reducing the red tape associated with the protocol.
Sir Jeffrey called on the Prime Minister to take action “to protect Northern Ireland’s place in the UK”.
He added: “We can’t have political stability when the concerns of unionists are being completely ignored, when this protocol is harming our relationship with the rest of the UK and the Government is failing to act.”
Sir Jeffrey insisted he is committed to powersharing with other parties in Northern Ireland.
He denied the DUP would use the protocol to block a Sinn Fein first minister if it became the largest party after the election.
He added: “We can’t go on with a situation where the views and concerns of unionism, and unionist parties in Northern Ireland, are being ignored.
“I want to restore fairness. I want to restore respect. I want to restore political stability in Northern Ireland.
“But that means the protocol has to be dealt with, solutions need to be found.
“The sooner that happens the better, and I hope that before the Assembly election we will get an agreement on dealing with the problems and resolving the difficulties created by the Irish Sea border.”
In comments directed at Mr Johnson, Sir Jeffrey added: “You’re our Prime Minister and if you want to build confidence, then do what other prime ministers did in the past, recognise that we have a serious problem here.
“Instead of being focused on what’s going on in Downing Street, be the Prime Minister that people need – reach out to Northern Ireland help us to resolve these issues. Make this a priority.”
Queens blessing for Camilla is bid for trouble free transition of reign
The Queen’s “extraordinary” Platinum Jubilee message is the monarch “future proofing” the institution in a bid for as “trouble free” a transition as possible, a royal commentator has said. Elizabeth II has shared her “sincere wish” for the Duchess of Cornwall to one day be known as Queen Consort, and called on the nation to support both Camilla as Queen and the Prince of Wales as King.

Soil Remediation North Texasnorthtexassr2022-11-16T18:39:19+00:00
What Is Soil Remediation?
The term remediation is defined as the action of providing a remedy to a problem. So, when used in conjunction with the word “soil,” remediation is for the purposes of stopping or reversing damage to the soil. How does one’s soil become damaged? Soil can become damaged or polluted when it becomes contaminated with hazardous material such as oil, gasoline, or other hydrocarbons. Soil remediation incorporates the application of proven technologies that were developed over time to mitigate any harmful effects to human health, animals, and the surrounding environment. While contaminated soil is often the result of unregulated or under-regulated waste disposal practices of previous tenants or owners, much of the remediation work that we provide is a result of gas and oil spills. Regardless of if you own a business or residential property, you are responsible for ensuring the soil on your land remains compliant with all regulations.
What Is The Soil Remediation Process?
Most people understand the need for expediency when an oil spill or fuel spill occurs, but they’re usually only concerned with stopping the spill emissions and then removing the contaminants from the visually impacted areas. But, without removing the contaminants from the soil and groundwater, there may be significant health risks to humans, animals, and plants in the contaminated area. Before we begin the remediation process we must evaluate your site and develop a strategy that’s specific to your situation. The goal is to determine the extent and nature of the contamination. Once armed with this research, we will determine if the site can be cleaned in-situ, which means where the soil is now, or ex-situ, which means removing the soil from its location and transporting it to another area where it can be spread out and treated. Depending on the type of contamination, we will treat the soil with bioremediation or thermal remediation.

Environmental Protection Agency Penalties For Non-Compliance
In 1980 the US Congress enacted legislation that provides a Federal Superfund, directed by the EPA, the authority to clean up controlled or abandoned hazardous-waste sites as well as accidents, spills, and other emergency pollutants and contaminants that are released into the environment. This act gives the EPA the responsibility to find potentially responsible parties, (PRPs) and then requires them to clean up the polluted soil or pay to have the soil cleaned up. And, while the penalties for a failure to clean the contaminated soil vary depending on the severity and other factors, the fine in the legislation allows the EPA to seek up to $37,500 dollars for each day that the property remains out of compliance. In 2013, the owner of P&W Waste Oil Services out of Wilmington, North Carolina pled guilty to violations of the Toxic Substances Act, admitting to the unlawful handling of toxic substances that resulted in widespread contamination. He was ordered to pay $19 million dollars for cleanup costs. And, as they say, ignorance of the law does not alleviate responsibility. So, regardless of your situation, please consider contacting North Texas Spill Response for an on-site consultation where we can take a look at your facility and help you determine if there are any contaminated areas or issues of concern. The best way to respond to a potential out-of-compliance issue is to be proactive.
Methods To Remediate Contaminated Soil
Chemical Oxidation
The use of chemical oxidation to remediate soil includes a variety of liquid and dry reagents that act to convert the contaminants in the soil to more stable and less toxic compounds. Regardless of if this is done in-situ or ex-situ, the application is the same and the chemical reaction allows for the removal of the contaminants.
Thermal Remediation
Thermal remediation treatment is adding heat to vaporize contaminants in the soil. Once the contaminants are heated they are either destroyed entirely or transformed into gas where they are treated further using various methods. Low-temperature treatments range from 300° F to 1000°, whereas high-temperature treatments can get as hot as 2,200°.
Bioremediation of soil uses certain plant species or micro-organisms to degrade the soil. This biological activity breaks down the contaminants and either removes them or immobilizes them for easy removal. While the costs associated with bioremediation are lower than other remediation treatments, the time it takes to complete the process may be in terms of years.
Responding To A Hazardous Material Release
Your Level Of Preparedness Shapes Your Response
The most effective way to ensure that your business does not need the expense related to remediation services is to be prepared and respond in a timely manner. A speedy response to a hazardous material release is a major component of preparedness and should be emphasized to each employee who has knowledge of the steps taken once a spill occurs. Regardless of the size of the spill, speed, precision, and safety should be your main concerns. When the release of hazardous material does occur your response should include the following steps.
Evacuate all personnel from the area where the spill occurred.
Identify the hazardous material that was spilled.
Contact your spill response team and relay the type of spill that has occurred.
Block off the area where the spill occurred.
Disconnect all potential sources of ignition.
If the hazardous material that was spilled is flammable notify the fire department.
The most efficient way of ensuring your Plano business remains compliant with all of the regulations surrounding a hazardous material spill is to have a relationship with an environmental services company you can trust. North Texas Spill Response is HAZWOPER certified to provide emergency spill response services and compliant hazardous waste disposal.

Getting Ready for Easter
Filed under: Family Movie Night — 5 Comments
I have to admit I am a big Facebook fan.
I have connected with former classmates and friends with whom I have lost contact. I stay in touch with former co-workers and fellow writers.

But I also get to see great room designs and recipes. In fact, this past weekend I saw a recipe for colored cookie-dough Easter baskets. You take small scoops of the dough, dye it the colors you want and shape it into a basket that fits in a mini-muffin tins. Later you fill the baskets with jelly beans and other good stuff.
I saw another recipe for a ring bread that was covered with sprinkles. I am sure there will be plenty of recipes that look fun to try, and I cannot wait to see them all.

One of the programs I have been hearing about is The Bible on The History Channel. This is a five-part mini-series produced by Roma Downey (Touched by An Angel) and her husband Mark Burnett. I was able to see one 2-hour episode and enjoyed the story of Jesus’ birth.
Roma Downey played Mary as a 20-something. She was very beautiful and appropriate. The scene in which she gives birth to the baby is outstanding and heart warming as people came to the young couple’s aid. But nor did the producers shy away from the violence of the time period. Harrod’s demand that all baby boys be put to death and the very narrow escape of Mary and Joseph.
Sadly, I missed the final episode as I was in bed sick. But as of April 2nd, the series will be available on DVD. I am willing to bet that this will be a hot item since the show has been wildly popular on the History Channel. I do not know what that says to you but to me it shows a country that is wildly curious about the good book. People want to know.
Now when it comes to this time of year there are lots of religious movies from the past. I think about The Robe starring Richard Burton as a drunken tribune who wins Jesus’ robe during the crucifixion. He does his duty and takes the robe with him. But Marcellus is plagued by nightmares and visions, causing him to return to learn more about the last owner of the robe.
This 1953 movie won two Oscar awards for set design and costume design. It was also nominated for best actor in a leading role, best cinematography and best picture. It also won a Best Picture award from the Golden Globes. Now you are probably wondering who should see this movie. Because of the censorship laws at the time, there is not much that is objectionable but the context is meant for teens and adults.
Finally, I feel the need to mention The Passion of the Christ. This ‘R’ rated movie directed by Mel Gibson is a puzzle to me. It is incredibly violent and harsh. It is also filled with some beautiful re-enactments of famous art pieces. I can only recommend it if you are fully aware that this movie is rated ‘R’ for prolonged violence and torture. I do not recommend this movie for children under the age of 10.

I wanted to mention that the Jesus they used almost looked liked Brad Pitt. However the resemblance was not there in this picture.
Sorry to hear you were sick and missed the final part of the Bible series. But, you probably know how it ends… 😉
I never saw The Passion of Christ. I don’t go for excessive violence in movies where it’s really not called for. I get that they were cruel to the man–you don’t have to show me hours of it. Same with lots of war films…I’m smart enough to figure out that war is hell. Graphic violence is wasted on me.

Sounds like a fun movie tradition. I love the Easter basket cookies. Hope you find time to try making them!
I was so sick last week, my daughter and I never got the chance to make them. Perhaps we can do it for May Day.
Sad to hear you’ve been sick. Hope you can get around to making the cookies sometime.

How to fill out Form I-589 for asylum seekers
People escaping political turmoil, violence and other danger by seeking safety in the United States are required to file Form I-589, the Application for Asylum and Withholding of Removal.
People escaping political turmoil, violence and other danger by seeking safety in the United States are required to file Form I-589, the “Application for Asylum and Withholding of Removal,” with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
What does asylum mean?
Asylum status is a form of protection available to people who have been persecuted or fear they will be persecuted on account of race, religion, nationality or membership in a particular social group or political opinion and who are already in the U.S. or seeking admission at a port of entry.
What is Form I-589?
If you are deemed eligible for asylum you may be permitted to remain in the United States. To apply for asylum, file a Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, within one year of your arrival to the United States. You may include your spouse and children under 21 years old who are in the United States on your application.
Once your application is approved, you may remain in the country and seek employment. While you can’t apply for permission to work at the same time as filing your asylum application, you can apply for employment authorization if 150 days have passed since you filed your complete asylum application and you haven’t received a decision yet on your application. If you are granted asylum you may work immediately. Some asylees choose to apply for Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) for convenience or identification purposes, but they are not necessary to work if you are an asylee.
Asylum eligibility requirements
You can usually apply for asylum if:
You have not been convicted of any crime
You have not yet been denied an application for asylum in the U.S. before
You are staying in the U.S. legally
Where can I obtain Form I-589?
Interested applications can download a copy of the form on the USCIS website. If you can't print the form or don't have internet access, you may also contact USCIS National Customer Service Center and request a copy of the form by calling their toll-free phone number: 1-800-375-5283.
Alternatively, applicants who are deaf or hearing-impaired my call 1-800-767-1833 to request a form.
How much does it cost to file Form I-589?
There is no fee for Form I-589. However, due to the complexity of the application process, some applicants choose to seek legal counsel or hire an attorney for help compiling required documents and preparing for the interview.
An overview on completing Form I-589
All answers on the form should be in English and printed in black ink.For questions that don't apply to you or you're unable to answer, write "not applicable," "none," or "unknown" in the space provided. Be as detailed as possible with your answers. If you need more space than what is provided for each question, you may use Form I-589 Supplement A or Supplement B (which are included) to complete your answer and attach it to the form.
When using supplement forms or additional sheets, indicate the number and question you are answering. USCIS encourages applicants to provide as much information and supporting documentation to strengthen their case, so be detailed when describing events and include dates. Provide your full name, signature, the date and your Alien Registration Number (A-number), if you have it.
Once an application has been reviewed, an interview or hearing may then be required where applicants will answer questions related to information provided on the Form I-589 they have submitted. During the interview or hearing, you can provide additional information to support statements made in your application.

The biometrics requirement
Foreign nationals who wish to apply for asylum are also typically subject to a biometrics check in which they must provide their fingerprints and photos in order for USCIS to complete a background check.
You will receive a written notification with the time and location of the biometric check, which is usually conducted at an Application Support Center (ASC). Failure to appear may result in delays or a denied application.

Processing times vary for applications for asylum, but you can generally expect to receive a request for an interview within 21 days of filing Form I-589.Once your interview with an asylum officer has been completed, your case will be further assessed. While there’s no fixed processing time for this application, a decision is usually reached after 180 days.
Denied applicants may still attend a hearing at an immigration court to provide further evidence to support the request for asylum. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2341 | {"url":

Broadcast of OSTP-led Federal Government Big Data Rollout, March 29, 2012, Washington, DC.
Broadcast of OSTP-led federal government big data rollout, held on March 29, 2012, in the AAAS Auditorium in Washington, DC, and featuring: John Holdren, assistant to the President and director, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy; Subra Suresh, director, National Science Foundation; Francis Collins, director, National Institutes of Health; Marcia McNutt, director, United States Geological Survey; Zach Lemnios; assistant secretary of defense for research & engineering, U.S. Department of Defense; Ken Gabriel, acting director, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency; and William Brinkman, director, Department of Energy Office of Science. Each official announced initiative(s) that his or her federal government agency was embarking on to embrace the opportunities and address the challenges afforded by the Big Data Revolution.
The announcements were followed by a panel discussion with industry and academic thought leaders, moderated by Steve Lohr of the New York Times. Panelists were: Daphne Koller, Stanford University (machine learning and applications in biology and education); James Manyika, McKinsey & Company (co-author of major McKinsey report on Big Data); Lucila Ohno-Machado, UC San Diego (NIH's "Integrating Data for Analysis, Anonymization, and Sharing" initiative); and Alex Szalay, Johns Hopkins University (big data for astronomy).
About Big Data: Researchers in a growing number of fields are generating extremely large and complicated data sets, commonly referred to as "big data." A wealth of information may be found within these sets, with enormous potential to shed light on some of the toughest and most pressing challenges facing the nation. To capitalize on this unprecedented opportunity--to extract insights, discover new patterns and make new connections across disciplines--we need better tools to access, store, search, visualize and analyze these data.

This paper presents qualitative research in sport management and suggests that case study is an appropriate qualitative methodology for research and practice in sport finance. The purpose of qualitative methodology is presented along with the process of a case study. The intention of this paper, for academicians working in sport management, is twofold. The first aspect is for researchers to consider using qualitative case study methodology in instances where such practice will progress the knowledge and understanding of specific situations while invoking a deeper response to research questions. The second facet of this paper focuses on the framework of case study methodology, as applied to a research project in the field of sport finance.

Hannah Lehmann, 08/10/2011
In the 1960s, Northern Ireland began a period of ethno-political conflict called the Troubles. Through a series of social and political injustices, Northern Ireland had become a religiously divided society between historically mainland Protestants and Irish Catholics. Furthermore, the Irish people had become a fragmented body over a range of issues, identities, circumstances and loyalties. The conflict between Protestants and Catholics spilled over into violence, marked by riots and targeted killings between the groups beginning in 1968. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2345 | {"url": "https://nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/index.php/browse/Northern%20Ireland/all/Third-party%20nonviolent%20intervention/all/Peace", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:29:23Z", "digest": "sha1:L7SDTZ6DLBMKPC7MCRGVYMPXUIEH5QOF"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 734, 734.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 734, 2327.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 734, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 734, 77.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 734, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 734, 230.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 734, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 734, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 734, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 734, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 734, 0.26153846]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 734, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 734, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 734, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 734, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 734, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 734, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 734, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 734, 0.09966777]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 734, 0.03322259]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 734, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 734, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 734, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 734, 0.24615385]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 734, 0.63207547]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 734, 5.67924528]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 734, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 734, 4.03173772]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 734, 106.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 23, 0.0], [23, 56, 0.0], [56, 68, 0.0], [68, 130, 0.0], [130, 164, 0.0], [164, 191, 0.0], [191, 734, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 23, 0.0], [23, 56, 0.0], [56, 68, 0.0], [68, 130, 0.0], [130, 164, 0.0], [164, 191, 0.0], [191, 734, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 23, 3.0], [23, 56, 6.0], [56, 68, 2.0], [68, 130, 9.0], [130, 164, 6.0], [164, 191, 3.0], [191, 734, 77.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 23, 0.05555556], [23, 56, 0.03333333], [56, 68, 0.14285714], [68, 130, 0.06666667], [130, 164, 0.32258065], [164, 191, 0.34782609], [191, 734, 0.01503759]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 23, 0.0], [23, 56, 0.0], [56, 68, 0.0], [68, 130, 0.0], [130, 164, 0.0], [164, 191, 0.0], [191, 734, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 23, 0.08695652], [23, 56, 0.09090909], [56, 68, 0.08333333], [68, 130, 0.06451613], [130, 164, 0.05882353], [164, 191, 0.07407407], [191, 734, 0.02762431]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 734, 0.87432671]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 734, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 734, 0.24143559]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 734, -44.1098035]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 734, -3.03882615]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 734, 18.37910306]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 734, 4.0]]} |
Asset management and safety assessment of levees and earthen dams through comprehensive real-time field monitoring
T. Abdoun, V. Bennett, T. Desrosiers, J. Simm, M. Barendse
Assessing the health of and maintaining civil infrastructure has been an increased concern in the wake of natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the summer 2007 flood events in the UK. The variability of properties within geotechnical systems makes predictions of soil behavior extremely difficult, especially when soil models are not calibrated with field-measured performance. Unfortunately the current state of the art in geotechnical systemhealth assessment is either based on very expensive monitoring systems for real-time information or on periodicmeasurement of ground surface displacements. Accordingly, a need has arisen for a system capable of in situ, real-time monitoring of levees, embankments, and other earthen structures. The work presented herein highlights the development of novel, affordable sensing technologies for use in a framework to monitor, manage and ensure the safety of geotechnical infrastructure. MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems)-based in-place inclinometer system, Measurand’s ShapeAccelArray (SAA), is now established as a sensing tool for simultaneous measurement of 3D soil acceleration and 3D ground deformation up to a depth of one hundred meters, with an accuracy of ±1.5 mm per 30 m. Each sensor array is connected to a wireless sensor node to enable real-time monitoring as well as remote sensor configuration. This system is now being further developed to include digitally integrated pore pressure measurement in the form of vibrating wire piezometers equipped with microprocessors (called SAAPs). The SAAPs are able to convert vibrating wire data to digital data downhole, and they integrate easily into the SAA system. In situ testing was conducted in a levee in England subjected to significant tidal loading (up to 6 m of fluctuation during spring tides) through collaboration with the European Union’s UrbanFlood project. In addition to the SAAs and SAAPs installed in three sections of the levee, the site was also instrumented with other sensors from Alert Solutions and TenCate, providing values for comparison. The likelihood of this levee to experience deformation and the density of instrumentation installed in the bank made this the ideal location to test the new SAAP system. The additional insight into subsurface behavior provided by the SAAPs is integral in the development of a comprehensive systemfor monitoring andmanagement of civil infrastructure. The preliminary testing indicates the suitability of this new multi-parameter system for inclusion in a multi-scale monitoring and health assessment framework, which will be implemented in New Orleans, LA in 2012.

abstract = "Assessing the health of and maintaining civil infrastructure has been an increased concern in the wake of natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the summer 2007 flood events in the UK. The variability of properties within geotechnical systems makes predictions of soil behavior extremely difficult, especially when soil models are not calibrated with field-measured performance. Unfortunately the current state of the art in geotechnical systemhealth assessment is either based on very expensive monitoring systems for real-time information or on periodicmeasurement of ground surface displacements. Accordingly, a need has arisen for a system capable of in situ, real-time monitoring of levees, embankments, and other earthen structures. The work presented herein highlights the development of novel, affordable sensing technologies for use in a framework to monitor, manage and ensure the safety of geotechnical infrastructure. MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems)-based in-place inclinometer system, Measurand{\textquoteright}s ShapeAccelArray (SAA), is now established as a sensing tool for simultaneous measurement of 3D soil acceleration and 3D ground deformation up to a depth of one hundred meters, with an accuracy of ±1.5 mm per 30 m. Each sensor array is connected to a wireless sensor node to enable real-time monitoring as well as remote sensor configuration. This system is now being further developed to include digitally integrated pore pressure measurement in the form of vibrating wire piezometers equipped with microprocessors (called SAAPs). The SAAPs are able to convert vibrating wire data to digital data downhole, and they integrate easily into the SAA system. In situ testing was conducted in a levee in England subjected to significant tidal loading (up to 6 m of fluctuation during spring tides) through collaboration with the European Union{\textquoteright}s UrbanFlood project. In addition to the SAAs and SAAPs installed in three sections of the levee, the site was also instrumented with other sensors from Alert Solutions and TenCate, providing values for comparison. The likelihood of this levee to experience deformation and the density of instrumentation installed in the bank made this the ideal location to test the new SAAP system. The additional insight into subsurface behavior provided by the SAAPs is integral in the development of a comprehensive systemfor monitoring andmanagement of civil infrastructure. The preliminary testing indicates the suitability of this new multi-parameter system for inclusion in a multi-scale monitoring and health assessment framework, which will be implemented in New Orleans, LA in 2012.",

Behavior patterns of Aplysia californica in its natural environment
Irving Kupfermann, Thomas J. Carew
Neural Science
Aplysia are normally exposed to great variations of water temperature, wave shock, food abundance, and duration of exposure to air. The behavior of A. in the field was very similar to that of A. in the laboratory, although there were some differences. The differences, however, appeared to be largely accounted for by the greater environmental variety in the field compared to laboratory environments. Systematic observations were made on four classes of behavior: feeding behavior, sexual behavior, locomotion, and defensive behavior. Feeding was the most frequent behavior observed. Although animals fed during a large proportion of the day, there were periods during which they would not eat, either after a normal meal, or after a meal which was fed to them by the experimenter. Animals showed definite food preferences, but large animals appeared to exhibit relatively less selectivity. Sexual behavior (copulation and egg laying) was observed to occur at a special location where the same animals remained over a period of a week or longer. During exposure to air in the intertidal zone, animals were inactive, but otherwise they locomoted over a distance of 10 m or more per day. Animals were typically found to be aggregated into groups. Defensive withdrawal occurred very infrequently and spontaneous inking behavior was never observed.

Encouraging a homemade solution to lack of affordable housing

Whether an in-law suite or an apartment to help cover the mortgage, secondary rental units are becoming a popular option for homeowners. To help ensure that trend contributes to the stock of affordable housing, the Region of Waterloo is offering forgivable loans to those interested.
The secondary suites program allows homeowners to apply for up to $25,000 to construct a legal apartment on their property. To qualify, the unit must be rented out at below the average market rate.
“It’s called a forgivable loan; we enter into an agreement for 15 years,” explained Jeff Schumacher, the region’s supervisor of housing program initiatives. “And that loan declines over the 15 years. So after the 15 years, it’s completely forgiven. We set the starting rent, and it varies by the number of bedrooms. It helps the low-income homeowners, and it also creates new affordable rental housing.”
Requests for affordable housing in Woolwich Township, for instance, have increased dramatically over the years, particularly among seniors and families, notes Dan Driedger, executive director of MennoHomes, a non-profit organization that focuses on such housing.
In fact, demand is so high that interested applicants often need to be put on a waiting list.
“The demand remains strong for affordable housing, it’s a very tight market out there,” said Driedger. “We’re trying to respond; but what we’re able to do with community support and building new housing, has not been enough to meet the need.”
Secondary suites can address that growing issue.
Under the regional program, a bachelor apartment can have a maximum rent of $589, one bedroom is $734, and two bedroom is $874. This amount is subject to increase after the first year.
“There’s no standard size,” said Schumacher. “They have to meet building code. And they have to get a building permit and an occupancy permit through the local municipalities. So, the township or the local city. We want to make sure it’s a legal unit, so whatever size their zoning bylaw allows as a minimum would be eligible.”
Possible new second units include a basement apartment, an addition, or what is known as a “granny suite,” or a garage that is converted into a standalone apartment.
“There are no income requirements for the homeowner, but the home value has to be a modest home,” said Schumacher. “So the home has to be at or below $403,635 as the current property value.”
The goal is to increase the number of available rental units and to help bring into conformity existing basement apartments that may not be registered and may not in fact meet legal requirements.
Homes that currently have secondary suites put in place without applying for the likes of this program – and often without proper permits – are technically considered illegal. Unauthorized suites that have all the basics of the legal suite, such as smoke alarms, laundry, and separate entrances, but are not approved by the city, may be eligible as a means to bring them into legal conformity, notes Schumacher.
“We know there are unsafe or illegal, or unapproved units out there. They can use this opportunity to make the unit safe and legal.”
One of the biggest hurdles, and one not overridden by this program, is ensuring that the home has the necessary zoning to allow for a rental unit. The designation of properties varies not only from municipality to municipality in the region, but from neighbourhood to neighbourhood. All the way down to the street level, in fact.
While the province sets planning guidelines for all municipalities, and in recent years it has eased the rules to permit more secondary suites, it’s still up to individual municipalities to approve the actual zoning.
In its most recent change to the official Provincial Policy Statement, made in 2014, Queen’s Park directed municipalities to provide a greater mix of residential housing and densities, including secondary suites.
Along with helping municipalities to meet increased density and intensification goals and provide more affordable housing options, the provincial changes recognize the increased price of housing: secondary units allows homeowners to earn additional income to offset their costs.
There’s also a nod to shifting demographics, as in-home apartments and granny flats provide housing options for extended family, elderly parents or a live-in caregiver.
The regional program recognizes that reality.
The program will continue throughout the next number of years, subject to federal-provincial funding. But how does the process work for those looking to take part?
“Interested households need to complete an application,” explained Schumacher. “So part of that application form is, we need to get written confirmation that it is permitted by the township or city under their zoning bylaw. Once they’re approved, we give them a conditional commitment. Then they would need to go out and get at least three quotes from contractors to do the work. Once the work is done, and the municipality approves the occupancy, we would fund up to $25,000 for the work. Anything over that, they would cover. Anything under that, we would reduce the amount equally.”
Driedger voiced his support for the secondary suites program.
“That’s a good option, especially if you’ve got potentially somebody who’s still able to live in their own home, but they’re not maximizing the use of it,” he said. “And so, if you’ve got a senior or somebody who is just living alone in a house that would easily lend itself to a secondary suite, I think it’s a great way of bringing on housing that provides density to the community as opposed to new construction. We’re certainly supportive of that and think it’s a good step, if people want to take advantage of it.”
Those who wish to apply this year must do so before December 1. Anyone interested can find an application form on the region’s website.

Things What Done Fell From the Sky - Red Rain
Some time back, we reported on the recent red rains which fell across India. One scientist who examined the matter said that he believed the rain contained living organisms from somewhere in outer space. Obviously, these were very simple organisms, small enough that many of them could fit in one drop of rain, but the explanation lit a fire through the scientific community and made major headlines.
The thing which didn't make it into those reports is that red rain is not exactly unheard of. Rare, yes, but not unlike showers of fish and toads, there are several recorded instances of red rain throughout the world.
One such appears on page 190 of Time/Life Books' Mysteries of the Unexplained:
November 2nd, 1819, Blankenberge, Belgium: 144 ounces of red rain fell across the region. When it had evaporated to less than 4 ounces, it was found that no red sand appeared. The usual explanation for this rain is that red sand was caught in a whirlwind and mixed in with the rain. Further analysis of the rainwater found the presence of a chloride and cobalt, but no one could explain how that happened.
- Annals of Philosophy, September, 1820

A Beacon of Light
Danielle Rago
If art, architecture, landscape, and travel are a few of your favorite things, you might consider taking a trip to the Dia:Beacon in New York’s Hudson Valley. Only sixty miles (eighty minutes travel time) north of New York City, Dia:Beacon, a branch of the nonprofit institution, Dia Art Foundation, started in 1974, and is home to an astounding collection of modern art from 1960 to the present, including works by Andy Warhol, Robert Irwin (whose creative edge went into the renovation of the building), and Richard Serra, among others. Each artist’s work is displayed in a dedicated gallery or set of galleries, and in many cases, these presentations were and continue to be created in collaboration with the artists themselves.
The art is not the only feature exhibited at the Dia; the picturesque view of the Hudson Valley and River is also part of the permanent tableau. The gallery is set on thirty-one acres of the banks of the Hudson River in a 240,000-square-foot former Nabisco factory.The historic building, built in 1929 and designed by Louis N. Wirshing, Jr., is a model of early-twentieth-century industrial architecture. Built entirely of steel, concrete, and glass, the structure provides the optimal space for displaying modern art.The museum’s open unconventional interior and natural lighting compliment the art and enhance the surreal experience.
Be sure to stop by the café at Dia:Beacon for light fare. Sandwiches, salads, entrées, and soups are prepared on the premises, using locally grown organic ingredients whenever possible. Located within the café is the bookshop where you can peruse art books, including those by featured artists.
Before hopping the train home, walk 10 minutes to Main Street for a sweet at Beacon Creamery, something that smells good from Beacon Bath and Bubbles, or a piece of pottery from Clay Wood and Cotton.
How to get there: Dia:Beacon is located adjacent to the Beacon train station, which is served by Metro-North Railroad trains from Grand Central Terminal. Trains run hourly in either direction during museum operating hours. For train information, visit www.mta.info or call 212.532.4900 or 800. METRO.INFO. To walk to Dia:Beacon from the train station, exit the rear of the platform on the river (west) side. Turn left on Red Flynn Drive and follow it over the railroad tracks to Beekman Street. Turn right at Beekman Street and continue to Dia: Beacon which is the next driveway on the right.(Dia:Beacon, Riggio Galleries, 3 Beekman Street, Beacon, NY 845.440.0100, www.diabeacon.org)

Thanks for the recommendation. Took a trip to the Dia and couldn’t have been more impressed. The ride was pleasant, the views breathtaking, and the art was displayed boldly and magnificently in the expansive museum space.

This museum is remarkable.
Go visit it, and in seeing the massive sun-lit galleries you will see some of the most phenomenal art of its generation. The installations represent artists whose other works are too massive for gallery display: many of the works here occupy tens of thousands of square feet.
The grounds of the museum have several different seating areas, which make for pleasant observation posts overlooking the Hudson. The nearby Main Street, a fifteen minutes’ walk from the galleries, has several decent sandwich shops.

Of Confederate Flags, Statues, and Generals.
Don’t tear them down unofficially. Take them down…officially!
Yes, let’s finally stop acquiescing to the idea that there was something noble or worth embracing about treason. After all, seven of the eleven states of the Confederacy had thumbed their collective noses and seceded from the United States of America months and weeks before Abraham Lincoln became President. When public, tax-supported, buildings fly the confederate flag, they fly the flag of the Confederate States of America that, after 1860, had nothing whatever to do with the United States of America, other than fight to leave it.
Statues of Civil War generals and Confederate political leaders pay homage to those who led the battles in the effort to secede. US military bases named for Confederate generals are a long, lingering insult to the United States, the nation against which they fought and lost, and to the more than 600,000 men who died because of that war.
The carefully planned, but ugly, rhetorical question posed by President Trump during a Fox interview with Chris Wallace last week, “what would we rename Fort Bragg…Fort Reverend Al Sharpton?” was nothing more than the crudest of racist dog whistles meant to inflame and encourage indignation from the worst of his base. It would take great naivete to believe that Trump’s rhetorical question was spontaneous and unplanned.
Here are some suggested answers, however, to the President’s dark-side rhetorical question; how about changing the name of Fort Bragg to Fort Dwight Eisenhower, or maybe Fort John Pershing, or, perhaps, Fort Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., or Fort Matthew Ridgeway, or, for Pete’s sake, maybe Fort George Marshall as the Washington Post recently suggested. Hey, how about Fort Harry S. Truman or Fort Keith Ware, a former Civil War private and Medal of Honor winner who stayed in the Army after the war and went on to work his way up to Major General, or, maybe, any number of Medal of Honor winners who didn’t shirk military service and went on to courageously distinguish themselves on the battlefield. One wonders who in the south or anywhere else would object to renaming Fort Bragg (or any military base) for any of these authentic American leaders.
The decision to rename Fort Bragg and other military installations named for Generals who led a war against the United States of America is long overdue. Listen to retired General and former CIA Director David H. Petraeus: “not only was Brag, an undistinguished military commander, but he and other Confederates also committed treason, and the Army should not brook any celebration of those who betrayed their country.”
There is no more justification for naming bases after confederate generals then there would be to name a base after General Benedict Arnold who, incidentally, was a distinguished General in George Washington’s revolutionary army until he betrayed his country and sailed off to England with his new, young British bride.
President Trump is, today, tragically out of step with the national ethic and southern sensibility. He could learn a lesson about real leadership from southerners like former Republican UN Ambassador (and former Governor of South Carolina), Nikki Haley, who knew that the capital of her state was no longer a place over which the confederate flag should fly. Her state legislature overwhelmingly agreed with her. South Carolina’s lawmakers voted 93 to 27 to advance the bill to remove the flag from state buildings and, minutes later, the legislature quickly passed the final resolution for removal of these tired and sad symbols, with over two-thirds of the legislators voting in favor of removal. The vote was greeted not with scorn, but with cheers by the legislature.
Even the Mississippi House and Senate voted overwhelmingly, and to cheers from the legislators, to remove the confederate battle flag symbol from its state flag. So has every other southern state that once blessed the Confederate symbols. The President’s sarcastic and mean-spirited reference to Rev. Al Sharpton, who never served in the armed forces, as the man for whom the military bases might be renamed, had to be an insult to the intelligence of the vast majority of southern Americans.
Last Wednesday in the US House of Representatives, seventy-two Republicans voted with their Democratic colleagues to banish from the nation’s capitol statues of Confederate figures and others who pushed white supremacist agendas. The betting is, of course, that Trump’s Senate will not take up the legislation at all.
Listen to former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu who, over five years ago, courageously removed Confederate statues from places of reverence such as city parks.
“New Orleans was America’s largest slave market: a port where hundreds of thousands of souls were brought, sold, and shipped up the Mississippi River to lives of forced labor of misery of rape, of torture.
“…America was the place where nearly 4000 of our fellow citizens were lynched, 540 alone in Louisiana, where the courts enshrined ‘separate but equal’ and where Freedom Riders coming to New Orleans were beaten to a bloody pulp…
Have no wistful illusions that the Civil War was fought to preserve a Confederate summertime where the livin’ was easy and the fish were jumpin’ and the cotton was high. No one spoke more clearly about the true goals of the Confederacy than the Confederacy’s Vice President, Alexander Stephens, in his famous Cornerstone Speech. Listen to him…
“…the Confederacy’s corner-stone rests upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery—subordination to the superior race—is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth…”
That was the cause of the men President Trump wants to continue to honor. The President dismisses, out of hand, the wishes of our military leaders to readdress the names of these army bases, literally declaring that “I don’t care what they think..it is my decision.” Indeed, it is, and history will never forget it.
The flags and statues and names of military installations to which President Trump pays homage are, in today’s enlightened world, of no redeeming value. His politically motivated position on this issue is also beyond redemption.

You enlightened me, Thank you for your research.
ELEZAR BENJAMEIN. Aka Leonard Sherman says:
Yes, you are both right and you are wrong. If we eliminate and destroy all of our historic symbols we will live to forget the bad and the ugly. Sadly, we may relive our errors and mistakes, SadlyTV interviews on the street with the so-called average American when asked the most basic common things about our history, they have idiotic answers of what came before them.
Walter Green says:
This note is long overdue. Your weekly columns are amongst the most thoughtful and enlightening and never fail to provide a valuable perspective. It was what journalism was suppose to be about but long ago detoured from this important public service. Thank you for your time and talent to keep us informed on the wide variety of important issues of the day.
Charlie Frankel says:
Hal is not wrong – and taking them down is the right thing to do. What we do with them is another story. I agree that there could and should be a museum of the Civil War where some of these statues could reside – but I bet you didn’t realize that there are close to 2000 of them across the US. We don’t need to keep 2000 statues of Civil War heroes. And we don’t need to keep our military bases named after these treasonous generals just to prevent history from repeating. Why are we so close to another civil war over race relations – now – with 2000 “historic symbols” in place to remind us of our ugly past? The only purpose these “historic symbols” serve is to enable our racist compatriots to feel justified in their beliefs and to allow their children to be raised without questioning the beliefs of their parents – and so the cycle continues. We need to dramatically change our educational processes and our history books to ensure that young people learn that the Civil War was simply about slavery and not “states rights” as is done today. We need to make a lot of changes and removing all of these statues and flags is a great first step. I recommend that you watch John Oliver’s show from 2017 about the Confederacy. You can easily search for it on YouTube.
Andrea Murphy says:
Bravo Hal! Who could disagree with this powerful argument other than, Nikki Haley said of dissenters in her state, “the uneducated”?
Chuck Anderson says:
Well done & timely Hal. Sadly, more who should read this will not.
History is what it is. We cannot change it but we can learn from it and not to repeat the same mistakes. The sad thing is that we still don’t learn. What I don’t understand is why this has taken so long take an action. My only answer is education, education, education. People need to read about the history of their own country and know better what their country has gone through. This is the way to find an objective way to analyze what is going on today. Thanks again, Hal.
Thanks Hal. A well documented history lesson. I look forward to discussing this lesson With our children and grandchildren.
And it was Robert E Lee himself who stated in 1869 “there should be no statues of me” or something to that effect.
Yessir!
Stuart Goldfine says:
I agree with Leonard Sherman. We have to learn about our history, good and bad. Delete the Civil War and then next WWI and WWII, Korean War, Viet Nam War, etc. Where does it end?
Response to Stuart Goldstein: Really? You suggest we should teach history with monuments in our parks
to Generals and political leaders who went to war against America? To this day I haven’t seen a monument to Himmler or a JosephGoebelsStrasse in Berlin. Perhaps, they know something we don’t know.
Jerry Kaufman says:
I fully agree with you and with the views you’ve expressed about the statues. However, not with this: “…treason ” as enunciated by you and Patreus. Was it treason when the New England states tried to secede? What happened to your dedication to “remain true to our founding principles”? Do you consider John Adams a traitor as well?
From American History, The New England Secession Movement:
“As time went on, more and more Americans began equating secession with treason, even though they were not necessarily one and the same as the founders had interpreted the Constitution.”
Response to Jerry Kaufman: Mr. Kaufman has a point… to a point. I”ll go with General Petraeus though. When they go to war to secede it’s treason.
“When they go to war to secede”? I’ve been taught again and again that it was Lincoln who went to war to free the slaves.
Also, compare with Israel Defense Forces launching preemptive air strikes against Egypt. Would you sat that Israel started the war?
Response to Jerry Kaufman: Actually, the South went to war (fired the first shot) at Fort Sumpter, but that’s just a detail. Lincoln did not go to war to free the slaves, he went to war to preserve the union. Even the Emancipation Proclamation’s prime purpose was not to free the slaves but to create a bit of chaos in the states that were in rebellion. If the primary purpose had been to free the slaves he certainly would have freed the slaves in the states that allowed slavery but were NOT in rebellion, i.e., Kentucky, Missouri, Deleware, Maryland and West Virginia. The Emancipation Proclamation freed none of the slaves in those states.

WASHINGTON — Conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court expressed skepticism Wednesday after listening to two hours of oral arguments on a New York law that imposes strict limits on carrying a gun outside the home — a case that will test how far states can go when crafting their own laws.
In New York State Rifle & Pistol Assoc. v. Bruen, attorney Paul Clement — former U.S. solicitor general in the Bush administration — argued that New York’s restrictive gun laws infringe on an individual’s Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
“Carrying a firearm outside the home is a fundamental, constitutional right,” he said in his opening presentation to the court.
Chief Justice John Roberts said he found it surprising that local officials could make decisions about a constitutional right. Several other members of the court expressed that sentiment, but also agreed that states could decide whether to exclude guns from “sensitive places” in New York such as public transportation, New York University, Columbia University and Times Square on New Year’s Eve.
Justices Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh expressed their concern about the high bar applicants needed to meet in order to obtain a gun permit.
Barbara Underwood, New York’s solicitor general, defended the state’s law, arguing that the state is not an outlier in its restrictions because states have used a variety of regulations over the years.
Some cities also place their own restrictions, such as Chicago and Baltimore.
“And it’s not an outlier in asking a licensed applicant to show good cause for a carry license,” she said.
Justice Elena Kagan said that the brief Clement submitted to the court focused on the argument that the New York law is a “regulatory scheme” that deprives most people of their right to carry a gun, rather than the two individuals who brought the case against New York.
Most states broadly grant requests to carry weapons outside the home except for California, New York, Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Those states have wide discretion to deny an applicant a concealed carry permit.
In those states, about 1% of all residents are approved for concealed carry, compared to about 10% in other states with looser laws.
States with tougher standards generally require an individual to demonstrate a need for self-protection, referred to as “proper cause.” A general desire to possess a concealed carry gun is not a sufficient reason in those states.
The gun rights advocates who are challenging New York’s law, Robert Nash and Brandon Koch, had applications for a concealed-carry license denied, but were granted “restricted” licenses to carry a gun for target shooting and hunting.
This is the first gun rights case the Supreme Court has taken up in years.
In 2008, the Court ruled in District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment does allow an individual the right to have a gun in his or her home for the purposes of self defense. In 2010, the Court confirmed in McDonald v. City of Chicago that the states must adhere to that right.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted that based on history, states have put in place their own restrictions on guns.
“Those 43 states that you’re talking about, most of them didn’t give unrestricted rights to carry of one form or another until recent times,” she said. “Before recent times, there were so many different regulations. What it appears to me is that the history and tradition of carrying weapons is that states get a lot of deference on this.”
New Jersey Acting Attorney General Andrew Bruck also defended the need to show proof that an individual needs to carry a gun outside the home.
“New Jersey residents should be able to go to a shopping mall or sporting event without having to worry about whether the person behind them is secretly carrying a firearm for no good reason,” Bruck said in a statement.
“The Second Amendment has always allowed states to adopt common-sense restrictions on carrying a concealed firearm in public—to protect their residents. A Supreme Court decision striking down reasonable firearm licensing laws would pose a significant risk to public safety.”
The Pew Research Center found that about 3 in every 10 Americans own a gun and that men are more likely to own a firearm than women, from 39% of men to 22% of women.
Some of the most recent data for gun deaths found that there were 39,773 deaths from gun-related injuries in 2017. Pew found that about 60% of gun deaths were by suicide.

Congressional maps get first public scrutiny
Procedural timing also under fire from Ohioans

Because of the warp-speed introduction of GOP congressional redistricting maps in House and Senate committees yesterday, Thursday’s public testimony was mostly harsh criticism of procedure, though the day wasn’t without specific map criticisms.
Dissection of the maps introduced yesterday were similar to those given during the legislative redistricting process, and to those given of maps that are currently in place in the state.
“In my lifetime, which is just 31 years, I’ve almost never lived in a state that didn’t gerrymander my ability to vote, and that’s been Ohio,” said Jasmine Henderson, a Dayton resident and director of policy and social impact for the Ohio Women’s Alliance.
Henderson said she’s opposed to the Senate GOP map that ties Montgomery County into Warren County rather than neighboring Clark County, because it wraps together two communities with interests and socioeconomic situations that are not alike.
Montgomery is nearly 20% Black in population, and Warren County is made up of less than 4% Black population. The average median incomes in the counties are significantly different as well, which has impact on voting districts, according to Henderson.
“That means when I show up to my precinct in Dayton, Ohio, which is a city that is red-lined, which is a city that is a food desert, and which is a city that is an emerging medical desert, has very different needs than the people who live in Warren County,” Henderson said.
She’s personally diligent about her voting rights because her grandmother grew up in the Jim Crow South, and was the first person to be allowed to vote.
“I am not a map-drawing expert, but I am an expert on what it means to be oppressed, and I am an expert on what it means to be a Black woman,” Henderson said.
Having the ability to vote is a “form of harm reduction to overcome oppression and practice self-determination” for Henderson’s community and those like hers.
The Ohio House Republican proposed U.S. Congressional District map. From the Ohio House of Representatives.
“This legislative body doesn’t have the ability to tell me what representation looks like when I’m self-determined,” Henderson said. “It’s only job as the governing body when it comes to redistricting is to make sure that my one vote is weighted and equal to everyone else’s vote.”
The GOP and Democratic maps also got criticism from Gov. Mike DeWine, of the now-defunct Ohio Redistricting Commission. During a press conference on COVID-19, DeWine was asked about his role in legislative redistricting, in which he felt his hands were tied, but he jumped in on the congressional effort as well.
He said he’s looked over the maps proposed by both House and Senate Republicans and those of the Senate Dems, and to him, “I think it’s pretty clear, neither one of these maps is going to fly.”
“I think both of them are starting points, starting points for discussion, and I think they should be treated that way.”
Procedural issues

A common thread between those testifying in the Senate Local Government and Elections and House Government Oversight committees was scrutiny of the fact that both GOP congressional maps came out less than 24 hours before the two meetings were gaveled in.
Blacklick resident Michael Ahern said the way in which House Bill 479, which contains the GOP congressional map, has done a “disservice” to the people of Ohio who voted to change the way redistricting was done in the state.
“The process associated with considering this bill seems to me to be extremely rushed, when it does not need to be,” Ahern said. “If you want meaningful public input which I think the reforms that are in our constitution really are driving toward in terms of process, you certainly are not meeting that bar through the process that has unfolded so far.”
Ahern joined the cry of many others speaking on Thursday who said the legislature needs to have meetings outside of the Statehouse to get truly representative voices in the redistricting process.
A criticism taken up by Democrats particularly on the House side was public access to a site on which to submit map proposals to the General Assembly. Currently, maps can be submitted through a website established when the Ohio Redistricting Commission began the legislative redistricting process.
The website’s homepage still refers to the Ohio Redistricting Commission’s task — as it was prior to Sept. 15 — as “redrawing each of those legislative districts,” which state Rep. Stephanie Howse, D-Cleveland, and other Democrats, along with some that submitted testimony during the committee hearing, said can cause confusion for typical Ohioans who want to submit maps.
“Constitutionally, the Ohio General Assembly is responsible, and this is not what the website says.”
Republicans bore down on the fact that the website was approved as the public resource for congressional redistricting as part of House Bill 92, which passed the legislature at the end of September. It was passed as an addition to a bill requiring reporting of child abuse in military families.
After several questions from Democratic representatives and a few pauses in the committee hearing during back-and-forths between the chair and Howse, committee chair Shane Wilkin, R-Hillsboro, said he would “follow up with leadership to make it clear” that Ohioans should use the redistricting website as the official submission point for maps.

Space Command HQ decision criticized as ‘politically motivated’

Kennedy’s Air Force One, sits on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in the Presidential Gallery on November 20, 2013 in Dayton, Ohio at the National Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

The U.S. Air Force has selected Huntsville, Ala., as the permanent headquarters for the U.S. Space Command, passing over the command’s existing base in Colorado Springs, the Air Force said Wednesday.
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera, both Democrats, raised concerns that President Donald Trump overruled military decision-makers and made the decision to reward political allies in Alabama. Space Command now is at Peterson Air Force Base.
“Reports that the in-depth military process found Colorado Springs to be the best location for military readiness and cost and recommended Colorado to the President only to be overruled for politically motivated reasons are deeply concerning,” they said in a joint statement.
Alabama’s six Republican U.S. House members voted last week to object to certifying the Electoral College results. Republican Tommy Tuberville also beat incumbent U.S. Sen. Doug Jones, a Democrat, in the state’s Senate election in November.
But in Colorado, Democrat John Hickenlooper defeated incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner and Colorado voted for Trump’s challenger, President-elect Joe Biden.
Peterson Air Force Base housed a previous version of Space Command from 1985 to 2002. The Air Force has overseen military space operations from the site since.
The Air Force began a selection process for a permanent home for the Space Command, a combatant command overseeing the new Space Force military branch, last year, and selected Peterson as one of six finalists in November.
The others, besides Huntsville, were Patrick Air Force Base in Brevard County, Fla.; Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, N.M.; Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue, Neb.; and Joint Base San Antonio in Texas.
The Air Force said it selected Huntsville’s Redstone Arsenal because of its ability to support the command’s mission, its infrastructure and the cost to the Department of Defense.
“Huntsville compared favorably across more of these factors than any other community, providing a large, qualified workforce, quality schools, superior infrastructure capacity, and low initial and recurring costs,” the Air Force release said.
The Air Force says Huntsville is the “preferred site” for Space Command but not final until a favorable environmental impact analysis is complete. The analysis is estimated to be completed in spring 2023.
Asked about a report that Trump overruled Air Force Secretary Barbara Barrett for political reasons, Air Force spokeswoman Sarah Fiocco said, “That doesn’t seem like an accurate depiction of what happened” and that Barrett made the decision.
The siting decision will likely have major economic impacts on both the Huntsville and Colorado Springs areas.
Peterson drives billions of dollars in economic activity in the area. The defense industry accounts for 1 in 12 jobs in Colorado, with about half of those concentrated in El Paso County, which is home to Peterson, according to a state report in 2018.
The Department of Defense spent more than $2.1 billion on contracts in El Paso County in 2016 alone. Defense jobs and veterans account for 40% of El Paso County’s economy.
Peterson will remain the provisional headquarters until the permanent site “is ready to support the mission,” the Air Force release said.

Theater Review: The Caucasian Chalk Circle at Antaeus Theatre Company
Posted on July 15, 2019 by Erin Conley

Set up as a play-within-a-play, the action of Bertolt Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle, currently playing at Antaeus Theatre Company in Los Angeles, begins in the lobby. Before anyone takes their seats, the actors mingle amongst the waiting crowd to set the stage, playing two groups of farmers debating who deserves to own and rehabilitate a section of land that has been devastated by World War II. In order to settle the argument and prove their point, the people on one side of the disagreement decide to reenact the famous parable of the chalk circle. What follows is a powerful tale of loyalty, class, and injustice that hits as hard today as it likely did when it was originally written in 1944.
Directed by Stephanie Shroyer, the satirical play-within-the-play is set in the Caucasus Mountains in the country of Georgia. After a civil war uprising that results in the Governor’s beheading, his wife (Claudia Elmore) must flee the burning city, but she spends so much time focused on which items of clothing to save that she “inadvertently” leaves her infant child, Michael, behind. Grusha (Liza Seneca), a kitchen maid, finds the child, and although the other servants urge her to leave him behind, noting that a child of his lineage will only bring her trouble, she cannot bring herself to abandon him. She escapes into the mountains with the baby, the beginning of a long and arduous journey. Years later, the Governor’s wife resurfaces, and she wants her long-missing child back.
In act two, the action flashes back and shows the audience what occurred in the city Grusha abandoned after she fled. Azdak (Steve Hofvendahl), a peasant with revolutionary ideas, is elected Judge after a series of curious happenstances. At first, his rulings seem completely nonsensical, but when he must decide if Michael should be returned to the birth mother who abandoned him or remain with Grusha, who has risked everything to love and protect him, it becomes clear there may be a method to Azdak’s madness. The play also has musical elements, with the cast often singing and playing instruments to set the scene and enhance the quirky, satirical tone. While Brecht did write some music himself for early productions, there is no officially published score, so the Antaeus company created the music they perform in this version. Sound designer Jeff Gardner deftly combines the ominous, minor key tunes with the instruments and dialogue, filling out the small space nicely.
The cast of 16 all plays multiple roles, working as a unit to perform the parable. When Grusha and her long-lost lover, Simon (Michael Khachanov) are separated by a river, that river is comprised of the bodies of the other members of the ensemble, lying on the stage. The versatile set (Frederica Nascimento), which consists primarily of small, movable elements, is constantly transformed, and the actors are always moving their bodies in interesting ways. When a character mimes pouring water into a bath, another actor pours actual water into a bucket nearby, creating the appropriate sounds. Baby Michael is portrayed only by a crude doll, adding a layer of levity even when the stakes are high.
Brecht referred to the style of this show as “epic theatre”—plays that are meant to teach a lesson and promote social change while also entertaining. This contemporary translation by playwright Alistair Beaton presents various ideas about class, justice, and corruption, urging the audience to perform their own version of the chalk circle test by examining two sides of a story and deciding who is in the right. This Antaeus production is lively and spirited, injecting charm and detail into every scene. As in most parables, the story and its characters are often simplified—for example, Grusha encounters multiple predatory men on her journey, an unfortunately common trope.
The cast is exceptional in this fast-moving and demanding piece, easily switching between characters and scenes, often while singing and playing instruments such as the accordion. Hofvendahl really shines in the second act as the witty Azdak takes center stage, and Seneca is affecting as Grusha, whose heart is always in the right place. At the core of the drama is the question of how we can really decide what is best for someone else, or who has a rightful claim to a person or a thing, and the answer presented is a thoughtful one that can be applied to many modern situations.
The Caucasian Chalk Circle runs at the Kiki & David Gindler Performing Arts Center in Glendale through August 26th. Performances are Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm. The running time is two and a half hours, including one intermission. Tickets are $35 and can be purchased here.

Review: ‘Six’ Packs Thrills Fit for a Queen
Exhilarating concert musical revisits Henry VIII’s wives through a modern lens
By SHARON EBERSON
I come to you a newly anointed loyal subject. Long live the Queens!
For women who have been dead lo these 500 years or so, the queens of SIX are very much alive and high-kicking. The concert musical spits in the eye of history that teaches us how these women died or departed the king, when what matters most is how they lived.
SIX also reminds us that art forms can benefit from a creative shakeup now and then. This unique format – unique, because usually a staged concert version comes after a successful long-form musical – entertains and thrills for 80 nonstop minutes.

The concept of SIX, the PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh presentation reigning this week at the Benedum Center, is that it is interactive. It declares a competition among the six wives of the infamous, oft-married Henry VIII. The winner will be the one who suffered the most and make us say, “OK, you had it the worst, poor thing.”
Each Queen sings her story in individualistic styles, courtesy of Tony-winners Tony Marlow and Lucy Marlow (SIX earned eight nominations and two wins, for score and costumes).

In another era, you might have heard a couple of these songs hitting big on pop-rock radio. The original Broadway cast recording – SIX: LIVE ON OPENING NIGHT – debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Cast Album Chart in May and had 3.5 million downloads in its first week.
But to reduce SIX to a “pop” musical, as it is billed. or to describe it as akin to a girl band concert, is unfair to the cleverness of the concept and, if you’ll pardon the expression, its execution.
There’s pop, certainly, with elements of hip-hop and Broadway. And then Amina Faye’s Jane Seymour takes us to church with her tale of woe, Heart of Stone – Seymour, the love of Henry’s life and who loved him in return, died of complications from childbirth.
What looks like a short set list of nine songs plays out as an epic retelling of six complex human beings.
In pursuit of a male heir and his own ravenous appetites, Henry went to great lengths to pull the crown from the heads of one woman in favor of the next. Yet we, the audience, are asked to crown a winner among them.
Of course, choosing a favorite from among these fierce and furious women, and the actresses who play them, is unfair. In fact, SIX is a show that cries out for a “best ensemble“ award. Or how about best sisterhood of divine divas? Certainly, it is that.
For openers, in the song Ex-Wives, we get the first taste of why we are gathered here, in a song with echoes of Chicago’s “Cell Block Tango.”
Zan Berube as Anne Boleyn (center) in the Boleyn Company of SIX. (Joan Marcus)
We are introduced to their fates as queens, in case you missed that history lesson:
Catherine of Aragon (Point Park alum Jana Larell Glover on opening night), divorced. Anne Boleyn (Zan Berube), beheaded. Jane Seymour (Faye), died. Anna of Cleves (Terica Marie), divorced. Katherine Howard (Aline Mayagoitia), beheaded. Catherine Parr (Sydney Parra), survived – she outlived Henry by a year and eight months. During her time as queen, Parr wrote Prayers or Meditations, the first book published in England by a woman under her own name and in the English language.
That’s just one bit of history you may pick up while being swept away in the rock-concert vibe of it all. From the incredibly bedazzled costumes by Gabrielle Slade, the pulsating rhythm of the light design by Tim Deiling and the rocking four-piece onstage band – called “Ladies in Waiting” – the show does scream concert much of the time.
While the music grabs you and does not let go, the stories may move you to tears. So prepare to go in depth while these ladies get down and dirty.
The facts are accurate as far as what can possibly be known about people who lived in the 16th century. However, the lyrics brilliantly turn history on its head with lines like, “You said that I tricked ya / ‘Cause I, I didn’t look like my profile picture.”
That would be Anna of Cleves, who made out great in her divorce. She arrived from Germany on the strength of a flattering portrait by the artist Hans Holbein, but Henry was not impressed with her in person. Marie’s song and dance as Anna, Get Down, is a gleeful romp through rejection and the riches that followed, just to make her go away.
If you’re checking off your scorecard, Anna and Catherine Parr are the Queens who had it pretty good, all things considered, while others in their ex-wives club did not fare as well.
The first Catherine, Queen No. 1, was a deeply religious Spaniard who was briefly married to Henry’s older brother. He died, so, naturally, she was imprisoned and eventually married to teenaged Henry, seven years her junior.
Her song, No Way, gives the swathed-in-gold Glover the opportunity to sparkle as she belts out Catherine’s fate, and make a case for her to be declared the woeful winner. Unable to produce a male heir with Catherine, and told no way she’d agree to go away, Henry also was denied a divorce by the Pope. So what did he do? Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church, declared himself the head of the Church of England and dissolved the nation’s monasteries – although he did try unsuccessfully to put Catherine in a convent.

So step aside, Catherine, it’s Anne Boleyn’s turn. Among the best known of Henry’s wives, Anne first turned Henry’s head with her beauty. Then, when no heir arrived within three years, he had her convicted of adultery and beheaded.
Anne is played by Berube as a sort of Baby Spice / Harley Quinn combo – a girly-girl voice, tinged with vengeful resentment. She’s quick to interject, no matter what the other Queens have to say, that she had it roughest.
In Don’t Lose Your Head, she recounts how she undermined Catherine of Aragon (“sorry, not sorry”) but couldn’t keep hers on straight.
Now, up until this point in the concert musical, the Queens have been on their heels, starting with the exhilarating ensemble opener, Ex-Wives. From there, they declared the competition and served as backup dancers/vocalists for Queens Nos. 1 and 2.
Then it was Jane Seymour’s turn, and Faye had the stage while everyone else sat down to watch and listen. Her soulful voice gave pain to the Queen who loved Henry and was loved in return. She gave him a son – Edward – and died from the complications of childbirth two weeks later.
Queendom Comes to Pittsburgh: ‘SIX’ Ex-Wives Tell Their Her-Story
Jane’s lament, to her sister Queens: I didn’t get to watch my son grow up.
So where did Henry go from there? To Germany, where in the Haus of Holbein, we get a few “swipe left” rejects before Anna comes to England, and gets a swipe left of her own.
Up next, Ex-Wife No. 5, Katherine Howard, who was, in essence, family. She was the first cousin of Anne Boleyn, and therefore first cousin once removed of Anne’s daughter, who would become Queen Elizabeth I.
To hear Mayagoitia sing Katherine’s tale is to cringe at the all too familiar story of a pretty girl used as the plaything of many men – the song All You Wanna Do is both catchy and cringeworthy – until she was wed to Henry, most likely as a teenager, but no older than 21. Henry was 49, overweight and often in pain from an old wound.
It was not a good match. Like her cousin, she was found wanting and flirting with other men, and was beheaded after about a year as Queen.
The oft-married Catherine Parr, we learn, was in love with a man named Thomas (Seymour, Jane’s brother). She laments her loss in I Don’t Need Your Love.
It is left to ex-wife No. 6, Parra’s Parr, an educated woman of letters, to wrap up the story and bring harmony to the SIX.
Having found their own voices and told their own stories their way, it was time to unite as they are known – and acknowledge their place in royal history.
The company of SIX the Musical, in the number Haus of Holbein. (Joan Marcus)
I have been preparing to be swept up in the woman power of SIX since listening to the original London cast recording back in 2018 and then getting a sneak peek of the show at BroadwayCon in 2020. Long delayed by the pandemic shutdown, SIX finally opened on Broadway in August of 2021. There were postponements along the way – the result of COVID rearing its ugly head – but SIX is now a Broadway mainstay, filling the Lena Horne Theater to 97-percent capacity last week.
Here in Pittsburgh, it is one of the hottest tickets in town, with shows either sold out or at 1 percent availability.
SIX has clearly struck a nerve, and deservedly so. It’s the whole package of entertainment, so much so that you should enjoy being schooled about these flesh-and-blood women, once held captive to the accounts of others, empowered at last to be seen for the way they lived out their fraught and fascinating lives.

Africanising The School Curriculum: A Case for Zimbabwe
Mavhunga, Pharaoh ZJER vol. 18, no.3..pdf (555.2Kb)
Mavhunga, P.J.
This paper argues that the school curricula in post-colonial African states have remained largely irrelevant to the needs of indigenous people. In spite of the tinkering with die curricula after the attainment of political independence in the name of educational reform, the fundamentals seem to have remained intact. Hence, observations have been made that the education systems continue to churn out Africans deeply rooted in Western ideals, norms, values, beliefs and knowledge systems that alienate them from mainstream African ways of life. Africans who trek to Western capitals to provide cheap labour under near slave conditions that could best be described in Mungazi’s (1991) words as ‘hewers of wood and drawers of water ’. Among those that have remained at home, there has emerged an African elite that has been assimilated into Western ways of life. The products of the school systems in Africa today, it is argued, have no identity. They are neither African nor European. In Zimbabwe such youths are termed ‘salads’, meaning people of no identity. The same can be said of most other African countries that were subjected to colonialism in the past and neocolonialism today, under the vague and obscure concept of globalization. Against this background, this paper advocates for re-engineering of the school curriculum by incorporating some indigenous knowledge systems rooted in African culture that have proved to meet the needs of the Africans over time.

My Horse Pilgrimage…Part 2: On the Trail of “My Inner Secretariat”
By NM-GRL
A year has gone by since my first post about “my horse pilgrimage.” (Scroll down for Part I…). It wasn’t supposed to be that way, but a series of “hoof” issues kept me from focusing on doing it! Well, a year later….
So, now it is a little over 2 years ago since I’ve completed my pilgrimage, but the memories remain fresh and inspiring!
December, 2015. It was very dreary and my mood was just as depleted. My mother was in hospice and there were clearer signals as to when she would pass on. My days were full of errands, visits and keeping up a cheery demeanor for her. At night, I would be exhausted, physically and emotionally, and it was hard to settle down and get to bed.
For some reason I will never know…one night/morning at about 2 A.M., just before Christmas, I went to Youtube and typed in the search box …”Secretariat.” To this day, I do not know why.
The first thing I came upon was a video of the 1973 Belmont, a grainy video with music (from Secetariat–the movie) posted by wyocalboy:
I watched it. I watched it again. And again. And, suddenly I was crying.* Was it over the time that had disappeared, or was it because the magnificent power of that horse?
Over the following nights, I watched this video every night, multiple times each night. And I began to realize that it renewed my spirit. I began to talking to myself in terms of being carried forward by “my inner Secretariat.” Secretariat came to embody endurance, strength, and the spiritual. Secretariat became The Source.
My mother passed in early February 2016 a few days after my birthday. She passed at 4:18 P.M. and the wind passing through the pine trees outside of her window must have been her spirit. My father died at 4:18 P.M. I was born at 4:18 P.M.
My mother was only a couple of months older than Secretariat’s owner, Penny Chenery, who would pass in September 2017. Shortly after my mother died, a “new” video of the 1973 Belmont appeared on Youtube. The NYRA (New York Racing Association) had FINALLY released a full-color version of the race! It was a like a new day was dawning!!
After finishing up a lot of estate work and catching my breath, I decided to return to the East Coast for the first time in 16 years. I was on the road for about a month and it was an epic trip!
I went up to Saratoga, New York just after the close of the season and enjoyed the National Horse Museum and a kind guard allowed me to take some pictures of the track from inside the gates. I trekked down to Monmouth Racetrack and was treated to a tour of the entire facility by a staff member. What a beautiful place!
Saratoga Racetrack
Then, came the biggest part of the trip…
I braved the traffic down I-95 to Doswell, Virginia the day after the State Fair of Virginia closed. It was rather bittersweet to see The Meadows turned into a carnival site. Through the disarray, I toured the grounds with Leanne Ladin, the author of
Secretariat’s Meadow….she had even kept the life-size banner of Big Red up for me…and, he WAS big (for reference, I am 5’5” tall). The day I was there at his birthplace was actually the day when Secretariat passed, October 4. That realization literally gave me the chills.
“Twice the Heart”…
A few days later I was at Secretariat’s grave at Claiborne Farm, weeping unabashedly. As the group left, I lingered and the guide patiently listened to my story about my mom and what Secretariat meant to me. He took a rose from the bouquet lying on the gravestone and gave it to me…and I got it safely home. And I also shed a tear for Riva Ridge, who deserves credit for saving The Meadows, a fact that most people forget.
After the Claiborne tour, I dashed down the Paris Pike to Gainesway Farm. I had made an appointment to visit privately because I could not make it to their tour in time from Claiborne. Of course, I saw Tapit…but my actual goal was to see the now unheralded Birdstone, who won the 2004 Belmont, robbing Smarty Jones of that year’s Triple Crown. Birdstone…the sire of Mine That Bird! (another story about him coming!)
Of course, I visited many other places around Lexington, Kentucky: Keeneland Racetrack, Old Friends Equine for retired horses, WinStar Farm, Kenny McPeek’s Magdalena Farm, and The Kentucky Horse Park. The Kentucky Horse Park has a special place there which I will muse on in the future. Pictured below is Tinners Way at Old Friends, the last colt from Secretariat’s final crop…Sadly, he passed away in July 2017. I was so lucky to meet him as he enjoyed what would be his last fall.
Tinners Way
And then came the two and a half day trip home. And, along the way I stopped in Ruidoso, New Mexico, home of Ruidoso Downs and the All-American Futurity, the “richest race for 2-year-olds in North America, regardless of breed.” (!!)
I toured the fascinating Hubbard Museum of the West (formerly the Museum of the Horse) which is next door to the track. And right outside, there is one of the largest sculpture installations of horses in the world, consisting of eight horses, one and a half life-size, representing seven horse breeds — the Standardbred, Morgan, Arabian, Paint (mare and foal), Appaloosa, Quarter Horse, and Thoroughbred — as they gallop over the landscape.
Free Spirits at Noisy Water by Dave McGary
One year after I was on the road visiting the places where Secretariat and Riva Ridge lived, ran, and are laid to rest, Penny Chenery passed away on September 16, 2017.
I am fortunate that Penny was still signing pictures and other memorabilia at the time I started collecting and which I cherish today. My house has become a shrine to Secretariat, Penny, Riva, Tinners Way, and my beloved Mine that Bird, who, yes, has a bit of Secretariat in his blood.
And, now, happily, I have horses in my blood again…

*That grainy video with the evocative soundtrack still makes me cry.

Rejection or redirection?
Rejection is hard, and repeated rejection can be devastating unless we view it with a healthy perspective. I truly believe that through rejection God wants to show us that there is a better way to fulfill our desires and His plans for our life. Over the years, I have looked to people and church leaders that I believed could help me put in motion my plans to encourage women through various avenues. I gave a lot of time and energy communicating my thoughts to them. There were countless emails and one-on-one meetings in an attempt to connect and create what was on my heart. I tried so hard to make it happen and left no page unturned. However, instead of encouragement, I encountered rejection. Some felt threatened I was competing with them. Others wanted it done their way. Some just ignored me because, they already had a program in the church. But I was simply trying to do, what I believe God had put on my heart, and the repeated rejection was difficult to understand. That is because, so …

Will Biden’s Afghanistan blunder result in an extremist resurgence world-wide?
According to an article on UCA News, Christians in Bangladesh are now worried that the Taliban’s success in Afghanistan may result in increased attacks on Christians in that country, as extremists are emboldened by the Taliban’s success.

Has the Taliban seized billions of dollars in US military equipment?
According to an article in the New York Post, President Joe Biden’s botched handling of America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan has resulted in the Taliban seizing billions of dollars of American weapons that had been previously given to the Afghanistan army. According to the report, the American government has giving the Afghan army over $28 billion in weapons since 2002, including several helicopters gifted over the past couple of months. Provided they have not been damaged or destroyed, the Taliban now potentially has access to upwards of 600,000 assault rifles, nearly 20,000 night-vision goggles, 200 aircraft including Black Hawk helicopters, 2,000 armoured vehicles and as well several military drones. Some have suggested the night vision goggles are the biggest concern as it allows the Taliban to operate at night. According to the report, over the past four years, the American army gave the Afghan army, “7,035 machine guns, 4,702 Humvees, 20,040 hand grenades, 2,520 bombs and 1,394 grenade launchers.” Of course, the Taliban is expected to use this treasure trove of American weaponry to suppress the …

No Time for Passivity
Published by Guest Post
By Dr. Michael L. Brown It is 11:45 PM Tuesday night as I sit here in front of my computer, having just responded to some emails and after finishing some editorial work on an academic project. But I’m a late night person, and there’s still plenty of time to work. So, as I often do, I take a moment to pray, asking the Lord, “Is there anything You want me to write?” Immediately I hear the words (in my thoughts, not audibly), “No time for passivity.” Now, to be perfectly clear, I am not claiming special inspiration for this article. I’m simply saying that, as often happens when I pray about what to write, a thought comes strongly to mind. If you find the theme of this article relevant or helpful, great. The simple truth is that we are in a war. An ideological war. A spiritual war. A moral and cultural war. A war that, in many ways, is even more real than a physical war. The soul of our nation is at stake. …

Doctor says he won’t treat unvaccinated patients
The Blaze is reporting that a doctor in Alabama recently put up a Facebook Post, that he would no longer be treating patients who are not vaccinated for COVID, because in his words COVID was a horrible way to die. Of course, people immediately asked if this also meant he would no longer be treating people if they: Smoked, Are trying to quit smoking, Take drugs, Eat too much food (obesity), Drink too much alcohol, Don’t drink coffee, Eat too much sugar (diabetes), Eat too much fatty foods (high cholesterol), Don’t exercise, Exercise too much, Watch too much TV, Eat junk food, Go for a healthy walk in the forest, Play football, Don’t eat enough fibre, Swim in the ocean, Spend too much time on social media, Eat too much red meat, and in Canada Drive cars, because in a typical year, more people under the age of 65 die in motor vehicle accidents than of COVID. Not surprisingly, the Facebook post has since been deleted. READ: Doctor says he won’t treat unvaccinated patients dying …

How a Jewish Navy Sailor found Christ after reading the forbidden chapter in the Bible
In an interview with One for Israel Ministry, a Jewish man, named Israel, shared how he became a Christian while serving in the US Navy. And specifically, it was one chapter in the book of Isaiah that challenged him to believe Jesus was the Jewish Messiah. Israel had grown up in a Jewish home and at his Bar Mitzvah, the Rabbi warned Israel against believing in Jesus and as well told him never to read the New Testament, because it was just for gentiles. When he joined the US Navy in 1960, he tried fitting in with the other sailors by drinking and cavorting with the girls, but this only violated his conscience and made him feel guilty. At the time, the US Navy was giving Bibles to the sailors according to their faith. There were Bibles for Catholics and protestants and Jews also received their own Bible, the Tanakh, that only contained the Old Testament. But when one of his fellow sailors encouraged Israel to read Isaiah 53, that talks about the suffering of …

Reports of ‘Doomsday Glacier’s’ collapse ‘greatly exaggerated’?
When American author Mark Twain read a report in the New York Journal that he had died, Twain quickly sent off a letter-to-the-editor stating that the reports of his demise were exaggerated. Well, the same could be said of the Thwaites ice shelf, located in the Western Antarctica. It has been the poster child and major fundraiser for the man-made Global Warming corporate machine for the past few years. The ice shelf, that is reportedly the size of Florida, is supposedly on the verge of breaking off because of Global warming. It’s been given the delightful name of the ‘Doomsday Glacier’ to remind the masses of the horrors of man-made Global warming that includes ocean levels rising and the washing away of coastal cities. However, according to a study by the University of Michigan, the doomsday collapse of Thwaites may be slightly exaggerated. The study doesn’t expect a collapse any time soon. But does expect there may be some thinning of the ice. But according to NASA, there is an unusual thing happening in the …

Already listed as the second most dangerous country for Christians, Afghanistan just became more dangerous
With the Taliban now firmly in control of Afghanistan after US President, Joe Biden, announced America’s withdrawal of soldiers on April 13, 2021, the country will become an increasingly dangerous place for Christians. International Christian Concern (ICC), an organization dedicated to helping persecuted Christians around the world, estimates that they are upwards of 12,000 believers in Afghanistan (population 37 million), with most of them being converts from Islam. The church operates largely underground, as there is only one church in the country, and it is a Roman Catholic Church located inside the Italian Embassy. It has been closed since the start of the COVID pandemic started, and it’s doubtful that it will reopen. Prior to the take-over by the Taliban, Open Doors listed Afghanistan as the second most dangerous country for Christians, behind North Korea. CBN recently reported on an interview that ICC had with an Afghani Christian pastor, who said he now fears for the safety of Christians now that the Taliban are in control. Conversion to Christianity is considered an act of apostasy …

New Zealand locks down after one case of COVID
It’s just my opinion, but I think that the COVID pandemic has exposed the tyrant inside the hearts of many government leaders, such as New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who just ordered a strict three-day national lockdown after one person, one as is ‘1’, allegedly came down with COVID. Not surprisingly, Ardern is also leader of the country’s Labour Party and at one point was president of the International Union of Socialist Youth, that has more communist leanings, than socialist. It is a level 4 lockdown that, in New Zealand, requires the closing of all unessential businesses, shutting down schools and offices. It also involves a stay-at-home order that does not allow people to leave their homes and are not even allowed to talk to neighbours. It seems to be part of the zero COVID mandate that is becoming a faddish trend among certain elements of the political elite. It calls for a complete eradication of COVID, before a country can reopen. Most epidemiologists believe that we have to learn to live with COVID … | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2368 | {"url": "https://opentheword.org/category/z285/", "partition": "head_middle", "language":

A Look Ahead in the New Year
January 13, 2022 |Lawrence L. McCooey
“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans” (Proverbs 16:3).
A new year brings opportunity to renew your focus and make new goals while seeking the Lord’s direction. As faithful givers like you commit your God-given resources to Kingdom work, it is exciting to watch the Lord’s plans unfold. Using Orchard Alliance’s investment and retirement options, gift and estate design services, and a variety of tax-wise giving tools, you are impacting the Kingdom at home and around the world. Moreover, your investments in Orchard Alliance provide Alliance churches and ministries with the loans they need to expand their reach.
I am deeply grateful for all that has been accomplished through the resources you have entrusted to Orchard Alliance over so many years. I have seen the Lord truly bless and multiply your generosity to impact countless lives and ministries.
Orchard Alliance is continually looking for ways to better serve you and help make the most of your generosity. We’ve recently overhauled our website to make it easier for you to find the tools and resources you need. I encourage you to explore our site—www.orchardalliance.org—and see if there are new stewardship opportunities you feel led to pursue.
If you haven’t done so already, I also encourage you to meet with one of our experienced gift and estate design consultants for a complimentary will or trust planning session. No matter what stage of life you’re in, our team can help you create a prayerful, biblical plan that provides for your family and the ministries you care about.
I recently revisited my own plan as I prepare to retire at some point in 2022. I’ve had the honor of serving The Alliance for the past 34 years, with the last 24 years serving as Orchard Alliance’s president. I am deeply grateful for all that has been accomplished through the resources you have entrusted to Orchard Alliance over so many years. I have seen the Lord truly bless and multiply your generosity to impact countless lives and ministries. It has been a privilege to serve as president and witness this firsthand.
The Orchard Alliance Board is heading up the search for our new president, and we covet your prayers for this process and for our future president. I am confident the Lord will bring the right person to lead this next chapter and look forward to assisting in that transition when the time comes.
While my time with Orchard Alliance is winding down, I am certain that our highly qualified and committed team will continue to provide the excellent service you have come to know and trust. We are always here to provide the resources you need to do immeasurably more with what God has entrusted to you.
Thank you for the honor of serving you. I pray you have a blessed 2022 and may He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed (Psalm 20:4).

THE GREAT DEBATE: BALANCING VALUES IN TENSION
At no point in history have Americans been of one mind. Individual citizens have always argued passionately and with conviction for what they believe is the best course of action. Consequently, an undercurrent of tension and conflict is not only historically present, but also expected. Join us for this five-day webinar to explore American values in tension and how they have—and have not—changed over time. Each session will explore one pair of values, such as Unity and Diversity, the historic events shaped by those values, and how these tensions have been balanced historically and through today. These sessions will take place on Zoom and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Teachers of all grade levels are welcome; however, materials and strategies will be more applicable to those teaching at the upper elementary school level and above. Be sure to register for all five sessions to complete the series.
As a result of this webinar, participants will be able to:
Utilize strategies that integrate diverse narratives into lessons and units on civics and social studies.
Engage with Colonial Williamsburg content and resources that provide a framework for connecting history and civics in a way that is relevant and charged in today’s world.
Foster discussion of social studies and civics that acknowledges the value of tension in a conversation.
This series will occur in two-hour daily synchronous Zoom meetings to be held Monday-Friday from 4:00–6:00 p.m. EDT. There is no asynchronous work.
Each two-hour session will feature a Colonial Williamsburg presentation or interpretation, processing time, a group activity, and resource sharing.
Day 1: Introducing the Great Debate
Americans share deeply held values but engage in constant debate over the proper balance between them. How does tension between values shape our nation?
Day 2: Law and Ethics
To preserve justice, the United States is governed according to the rule of law. Yet people make choices based on personal and moral codes of right and wrong. Under what circumstances is it just to act based on one’s own moral code?
Day 3: Private Wealth and Common Wealth
People accumulate individual wealth and property when contributing labor and skills to the economy, but communities also share certain resources for the good of the whole nation: e.g., infrastructure, public education, or national security. In what ways do Americans do both?
Day 4: Freedom and Equality
Humans thirst for individual rights and privileges, but also want to be treated equally under the law of the land. How do we find a balance?
Day 5: Unity and Diversity
Americans celebrate unity as one nation, but also cherish the fact that individuals come from numerous cultures, ethnicities, religions, and regions. How do these values sometimes clash?
Registration will open in early May.

Element Title: HW and Tests are not the same (8 of 16)
Let's take a look at the scatter plot below. This is a chart of the grades from geometry classes from two high schools in a moderate/large district. As one can see there is a clear relationship between how students did on the HW and how they did on the major assessments. The scores on the summative assessments is represented by the x-axis, while the score on the HW is represented by the Y-axis. One would expect this, but if we pick a particular pont on the x-axis we can see there is a range of performacne on the HWs. Lets take the summative grade of 60%, barely passing. Some students scored 100% on the HW. Some scored 40%. That would mean that in these high schools that have a grade weighting policy of 60% for summative assessments and 40% for formatives (in this case mostly HW), that would give student 1 an F(52%), student 2 a C(76%) and student 3 a B(92%) depending on where the cut off was. Jefferson County, the biggest district in the state of KY had a percentage cut off of 93% for an A up until recently.
You have to decide is that grade meaningful? What do your grading policies result in? Is it what you intend? Does student 2 really deserve to get 2 letter grades higher than student 1 even though their summative average is less than 60%? | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2372 | {"url": "https://otis.coe.uky.edu/DDL/portfolio/case_public.php?ID=177&element=1114&refresh=20230131063334", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "otis.coe.uky.edu", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:00:22Z", "digest": "sha1:XUE243ELKBYEIEHXJD467FS4JZRWRZJF"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1316, 1316.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1316, 1925.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1316, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1316, 32.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1316, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1316, 330.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1316, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1316, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1316, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1316, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1316, 0.45733788]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1316, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1316, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1316, 0.02734375]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1316, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1316, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1316, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1316, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1316, 0.03417969]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1316, 0.02050781]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1316, 0.02539062]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1316, 0.03754266]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1316, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1316, 0.19112628]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1316, 0.54251012]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1316, 4.14574899]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1316, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1316, 4.56511798]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1316, 247.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 55, 0.0], [55, 1079, 1.0], [1079, 1316, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 55, 0.0], [55, 1079, 0.0], [1079, 1316, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 55, 12.0], [55, 1079, 192.0], [1079, 1316, 43.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 55, 0.05882353], [55, 1079, 0.02233503], [1079, 1316, 0.02155172]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 55, 0.0], [55, 1079, 0.0], [1079, 1316, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 55, 0.09090909], [55, 1079, 0.02734375], [1079, 1316, 0.01687764]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1316, 0.38327765]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1316, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1316, 0.05658668]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1316, -74.39803086]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1316, 2.41012959]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1316, -34.50054156]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1316, 14.0]]} |
Civil society urged to get involved in tackling root causes of crime
Crime Scene tape
While calculating it likely minuscule number of individuals responsible for the majority of murders and mayhem Jamaica has had to endure, Dr Herbert Gayle, senior lecturer at the University of the West Indies, has underscored the important role he believes non-governmental organisations (NGOs) can play in addressing the root causes of violence.
“The time has come for us to work together as a family and begin to focus and educate ourselves as to what to do. Non-governmental organisations can make a world of difference. You have access to resources. I beg of you to focus and let us see if we can save some lives as the life we save might be our own,” Gayle said, referencing Jamaica’s high crime rate as he addressed a recent Council of Voluntary Social Services (CVSS) Sector Meeting.
Gayle’s presentation focused on: ‘Violence Reduction – Do NGOs have a role to play in identifying the root causes?’ as he critically examined attaining Sustainable Development Goal 16, which promotes peaceful and inclusive societies.
Dr Herbert Gayle, senior lecturer at the University of the West Indies.
The sector meeting was hosted by CVSS in partnership with The Caribbean Policy Development Centre (CPDC) under the theme: ‘Ignite CSO 2023… Enhancing CARIFORUM’s Civil Society Capacity to Participate in National and Regional Development Programming and Policymaking’.
Gayle, head of the Department of Sociology, Psychology and Social Work at The UWI, suggested that NGOs should collaborate more frequently on initiatives and communicate with each other consistently to prevent duplication of efforts.
He reiterated tha NGOs must be careful to avoid undertaking projects that are unsustainable with goals that are unrealistic. The social expert also lamented that too often projects are left midway because
implementers fail to properly budget.
ONLY 200 FULL-TIME ‘SHOTTAS’ OPERATING
Noting that only a small group of people in the population are creating mayhem, he pointed out that statistics show there are about 40,000 inner-city males of the combatant age group between 15 and 34 years; only five per cent (2,000) are likely to commit homicide; and, since only one of 200 are likely to kill professionally, there are only 200 full-time ‘shottas’ operating.
“However, these 200 young men can account for 53 per cent of our homicides. These murderers are in
fact victims of abuse and violence themselves,” he said, attributing this to the poor structures of families in underserved communities and suggesting that the design of interventions must target the families and indeed the women who often head these households.
“If we get serious, we can redeploy the combatants and we will see the miracle [transformation] in Jamaica,” he said, noting that intervention should be targeted at the secondary level or even earlier.
“What CVSS is all about this year is leaving no one behind. Let us ensure that these [troubled] young people are not left behind.”
Nancy Pinchas, executive director of the CVSS
Nancy Pinchas, executive director of the CVSS who also addressed the meeting, agreed with Gayle that NGOs should work in a more unified manner.
Pinchas said this can be achieved if each organisation captures the data about what is being done then others will learn and act accordingly.
The CVSS executive director said that civil society organisations have opportunities to reach troubled youths in communities and, as grassroots organisations, they have a special role to play to make a difference in these communities.

“What CVSS is all about this year is leaving no one behind. Let us ensure that these [troubled] young people are not left behind,” she said.
AnnMarie Kirlew, programmes manager at CVSS, said that, “the CVSS, through these sector meetings, is creating the framework for ongoing capacity strengthening of civil society organisations (CSOs), enabling them to deliver outputs that contribute to national development plans and increase their ability to advocate for marginalised groups so they can impact policy at the national level”.
The next CVSS sector meeting is scheduled for Thursday (March 16) on the topic ‘What has gender equality got to do with development’.
The topic will be delivered by Carol Narcisse, gender and development specialist, educator, analyst and advocate.

Starfield: Everything we know about Bethesda’s sci-fi RPG
The week that just ended saw the emergence of new details about Starfield, here’s everything we learned about Bethesda’s highly anticipated sci-fi RPG.
This year ‘s Xbox & Bethesda Showcase turned out to be particularly dense and packed with announcements and although the real bombs were missing, one of the hottest moments of the evening saw Todd Howard take the Xbox stage to present in great detail Starfield. .
The new sci-fi blockbuster from Bethesda arriving on PC and Xbox console at the beginning of 2023 is finally back to show itself with a first full-bodied gameplay video that allowed us to discover several new details about the game. As often happens, however, the most substantial news are those that arrive a few days later following meetings with the press.
The emergence of some unpublished information therefore represents the perfect opportunity for us to take stock of everything we know about Starfield , the most ambitious title ever created by the Bethesda team.
To see the stars again
The idea behind Starfield comes from the desire to provide the player with all the tools to experience a space epic in a totally free and immersive way. Todd Howard has never made a mystery of it and has always reiterated the desire to want to create an unprecedented role-playing game and that he could give the player the impression of really living those adventures and not just playing. With a whole range of possibilities and entire solar systems available to players, Starfield appears as a colossal RPG capable of clearly surpassing in features and ambitions what has been done with previous productions. But let’s start from the beginning.
The Starfield Storyis set in 2330, in a portion of the Milky Way that extends for a distance of about fifty light years from the outer fringes of the Solar System. Unfortunately, the sidereal universe, fascinating as it is, is not free from conflicts. The great War between Colonies that hit the area 20 years earlier ended with a peace that seems to be rather precarious and the pitfalls that lurk within the Colonized System are innumerable and include both mercenaries and space pirates, as well as violent fringes. and religious extremists. Not many details have yet been revealed about the narrative context of the game, but it is very likely that these different factions will play an important role in the development of the story. What we do know is that we will find ourselves taking on the role of a member of the Constellation, an organization of space explorers determined to unravel the secrets of the galaxy.
The first gameplay video allowed us to take a look at the detailed character creation editor , which seems to be inspired by the real study of DNA fragments and which will allow us to choose the features of our explorer and customize him in every aspect: sex , size, complexion, face, background and more interesting character traits. It is no coincidence that Starfield has been described by Bethesda as a game with the most powerful and varied character editor ever, among the many productions of the publisher.
The high level of customization, however, will not only concern our PC, but also the space shuttle creation that we will use to move between the various planets.
Here too it will be possible to intervene on a myriad of elements, from aesthetics to performance, a fact that should not be underestimated given that we will be able to take off our spaceship to travel among the stars . Yes, because the game also includes the possibility to freely navigate in space, fight with other spaceships and even steal them, thus offering the player a complete interstellar exploration experience from every point of view.
According to reports from the team, Starfield will also present a unique space combat system , partly inspired by FTL and MechWarrior , regarding the mechanics of the redistribution of power in the different weapon systems and the rhythm of the clashes. From what we could see in the gameplay video, the space fights return an excellent feeling on the visual level, also showing a particular system of damage that makes the hits suffered very realistic with the debris of the enemy spaceships that splash away and get lost in the depths. of space.
As for exploration, however, Starfield will present more than 1000 different planets on which we can sail. An important figure that also brings with it a good dose of perplexity. Todd Howard has already confirmed that obviously all these planets will be created through procedural generation but that they will include a good part of handcrafted elements within them: it remains to be seen, however, how they will be distributed and in what way and if they will actually be able to give the impression. that each planet is adequately rich and well characterized.
It must also be said that Starfield will also have four main cities that can be freely explored, including New Atlantis : the capital of the United Colonies, which in addition to being the largest city ever seen in a Bethesda game ( Skyrim and Fallout 4 included) will allow players to access numerous services, accept missions and upgrade their spaceship.
Between fighting and exploration
The first part of the presentation of the new Bethesda project also offered us a first taste of the combat system. The gunplay does not seem to inherit any of the peculiarities of Fallout’s VATS targeting system, thus choosing to opt for a more classic system: the movie shows real-time shootings, with the life bar and the HP of the opponents in view with each shot immediately. . At the moment, however, there seems to be a little lack of physical response to hits from enemies, who appear helpless to fire while their life bar is quickly emptied by hits. An element that, together with the absence of an aiming reticle, emphasizes the feeling that the fights must undergo a refinement process.
Another very interesting aspect to mention is the presence of a weapon ammo indicator completely unhooked from the HUD. All of Starfield’s weapons, every pistol, rifle or machine gun held by the protagonist, in fact, has an ammunition indicator. A feature that Bethesda borrowed from Arkane and the work done on the Prey reboot . For example, a lasgun will simply display an indicator showing a rough estimate of energy and remaining charge, while a pistol will display an indicator of available bullets on the rear as well as the double-barreled shotgun. This means thatusers who prefer to adopt a minimalist interface will therefore have no need to download additional mods to increase engagement .
Finally, there will also be a crafting system , divided into different sections: drugs, food and drink, development of the outpost, equipment and weapons. Players will be able to make modifications to their weapons , but also conduct research plans to uncover new technologies to be used to their advantage. There will therefore be workbenches , as well as the possibility of creating a base in the manner of Fallout 4, hoping that the team has deepened this mechanic making it more sensible than what was done in the fourth chapter of the post-apocalyptic saga.
After finally showing up with a substantial gameplay video, Starfield already seems to promise some memorable space adventures . The scale of Bethesda’s work is nothing short of colossal – there are entire planetary systems to explore, space combat, crafting, skill trees, character and spaceship customization mechanics. There will be the possibility to build and manage a base and much more. In short, this is truly an experience that surpasses any other title developed by the team in size and ambition.
For those who have always loved Bethesda productions, focused on exploration and role-playing elements, Starfield is a daydream.
However, to counterbalance so much splendor, there are a series of elements that are not yet completely convincing. In fact, it will be necessary to understand how all these systems will be integrated with each other and if the team will be able to optimize and completely refine an adventure of this size in time for launch, avoiding running into the presence of bugs limiting the experience. Obviously, there is still a little missing from the release, but Todd Howard’s statements are those that bode well: the director has in fact stressed that the primary need of the team is to deliver the best possible version of Starfield to the players.and it is precisely for this reason that the software house has chosen to take additional time to perfect the experience. A promise that may seem complex to keep today if you think about the scope of the project, but in which we feel we want to believe. After all, to make big dreams come true, you have to try to believe them.
Starfield will be available in early 2023 on Xbox Series X / S, PC and at launch on Xbox Game Pass.

Changi International Airport Singapore
Changi International Airport, Singapore
NACO is honoured to have worked with the iconic Changi International Airport in Singapore to provide an industry zone detailed masterplan, that will help facilitate the airports expansion as it grows to meet the demands of rising passenger and cargo numbers.
Known for having the tallest indoor waterfall within its footprint, Changi International Airport is one of the largest transportation hubs in Asia and is regularly listed as one of the busiest airports in the world. When the airport set about planning and developing a second midfield area between its second and third planned runway, there was an opportunity to efficiently restructure the existing and new Industry Zones, consisting of cargo handling facilities, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facilities and support facilities.
Accommodating capacity whilst maintaining connecting times
NACO was approached to carry out the production of this masterplan. The challenge lay in the need to guarantee sufficient cargo and MRO capacity while simultaneously guaranteeing minimum connecting times between the two midfield areas. All of this was with the aim of increasing the airport’s competitiveness.
A further challenge in the production of the masterplan would be to take into account the capacity requirements of both landside and airside, as well as different security and customs regimes – none of which were easy tasks considering the separated areas and connection requirements.
Working collaboratively with stakeholders to deliver results
NACO led this project by engaging and collaborating with numerous stakeholders – including cargo handlers, express carriers, airlines, MRO service providers and Singapore’s authorities – to produce three masterplans. Flexibility was one of the key parameters in each plan. With uncertainty around the growth rate of MRO and cargo, there was a need for flexibility to interchange functions, accelerate, or postpone (re)developments.
From three plans, NACO established critical selection criteria – again in collaboration with the client and stakeholders. The result was the selection of a single masterplan that met the needs and was supported by all stakeholders – providing Changi International Airport with the confidence to progress with development, safe in the knowledge that their facilities will be able to expand and grow to meet demand. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2376 | {"url": "https://p-naco.royalhaskoningdhv.nl/en/projects/changi-international-airport-singapore", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "p-naco.royalhaskoningdhv.nl", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:23:04Z", "digest": "sha1:TKZGTUBTLRU7BISDYBYIWTU7IDMRKR37"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2437, 2437.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2437, 3422.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2437, 10.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2437, 57.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2437, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2437, 299.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2437, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2437, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2437, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2437, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2437, 0.41102757]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2437, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2437, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2437, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2437, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2437, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2437, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2437, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2437, 0.0464775]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2437, 0.06360078]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2437, 0.03424658]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2437, 0.02255639]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2437, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2437, 0.09774436]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2437, 0.54696133]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2437, 5.64640884]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2437, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2437, 4.82663044]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2437, 362.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 79, 0.0], [79, 338, 1.0], [338, 877, 1.0], [877, 936, 0.0], [936, 1246, 1.0], [1246, 1531, 1.0], [1531, 1592, 0.0], [1592, 2024, 1.0], [2024, 2437, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 79, 0.0], [79, 338, 0.0], [338, 877, 0.0], [877, 936, 0.0], [936, 1246, 0.0], [1246, 1531, 0.0], [1531, 1592, 0.0], [1592, 2024, 0.0], [2024, 2437, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 39, 4.0], [39, 79, 4.0], [79, 338, 41.0], [338, 877, 81.0], [877, 936, 6.0], [936, 1246, 47.0], [1246, 1531, 45.0], [1531, 1592, 7.0], [1592, 2024, 62.0], [2024, 2437, 65.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 79, 0.0], [79, 338, 0.0], [338, 877, 0.0], [877, 936, 0.0], [936, 1246, 0.0], [1246, 1531, 0.0], [1531, 1592, 0.0], [1592, 2024, 0.0], [2024, 2437, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 79, 0.0], [79, 338, 0.0], [338, 877, 0.0], [877, 936, 0.0], [936, 1246, 0.0], [1246, 1531, 0.0], [1531, 1592, 0.0], [1592, 2024, 0.0], [2024, 2437, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 39, 0.1025641], [39, 79, 0.1], [79, 338, 0.03088803], [338, 877, 0.02040816], [877, 936, 0.01694915], [936, 1246, 0.02903226], [1246, 1531, 0.00350877], [1531, 1592, 0.01639344], [1592, 2024, 0.03009259], [2024, 2437, 0.02179177]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2437, 0.39922523]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2437, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2437, 0.25709343]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2437, -58.28515952]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2437, 21.03923282]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2437, 41.93195577]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2437, 12.0]]} |
“Don’t Go to Work Unless It’s Fun Day”
Happy “Don’t Go To Work Unless It’s Fun Day!” Think I’m kidding? Just Google it. In honor of April 3, I wanted to spend some time chatting with you about careers, and how I feel about them.
I grew up in a family that encouraged pursuing a career that provided a stable, reliable income. Which is completely understandable- your parents wanting you to have a safety net and be secure- makes sense, right? Well I was always the oddball, it never made the least bit of sense to me if you weren’t doing something you loved. Don’t get me wrong, I understand the idea of pursuing a career that will always give you job security with a healthy, steady paycheck. It’s completely logical (so how could you not understand that mindset?!), but that was never what I was chasing, and it wasn’t until my mid 20’s that I really accepted that about myself and started meeting others just like me.
Let me give you a little background: I’ve been working steadily since I was 13 years old. I have consistently had a job for, what is now, over half of my life. Not until this year, after 14 years of doing jobs I didn’t enjoy just to get a paycheck, I am finally doing what I love. Believe me, it’s not easy- the entrepreneur life is really not as glamorous as Instagram makes it look. It is hard. It’s long hours, almost too much alone time, and a whole lot of learning about the technical and legal sides of running a business that most of us do not find fun… but the flip side of that? Feeling like I’m finally, truly, living my life for ME and only me. There are no words to describe how incredible that feeling really is.
So, I wanted to write this blog as a sort of letter to anyone out there who is unhappy in their job but scared to venture into an “unsecure” job path. I’ve been in your shoes. I know how you feel and, let me tell you now that I’m on the other side, I couldn’t imagine ever going back.
Maybe your dream job is a promotion in your current office. Maybe it’s going back to school to get a degree in a completely different field. Maybe it’s working for yourself. Or maybe you want to be an actor or something in the arts. Whatever it is that you feel your soul is calling you to do, don’t ignore it. Look y’all, I have my own set of beliefs as far as religion goes, but I also know that we don’t *really* know what happens when our time is up. As far as we know, this time we have right now- that’s all we get. Why would we want to spend it doing something we aren’t happy doing? Because society tells us we need to? Because your friends or family or partner is pressuring you to because it’s what they think is best?
I’ll be honest, it took me YEARS to work up the courage and skillset to get to this point, and do I have it all down? Heck no. Thank God for my assistant Sarah because, without her, I am not sane and things 100% slip through the cracks. I’m also figuring out a lot of it as I go, and THAT’S OKAY. Just like it’s OKAY if you’re not ready to pursue a career you love. It is OKAY that you’re still daydreaming about that day. It takes time. Everyone talks about “taking the leap”… well let me tell you I “took the leap” over a very long, slow, and exhausting 5 years. I’m not here to paint a pretty picture for you, but I am here to tell you that you can do it. If you feel that nagging in your soul to chase after something you love, or something you are passionate about, don’t ignore that because, to quote my girl Joanna Gaines, “the world needs who you were made to be”.
So there you have it, that’s my inspirational post for the week. If you need permission to chase your passion, I am giving you permission. If you need a sign to show you that the universe is guiding you somewhere- this is that sign. If you need a reminder that you can 100% do this, I am telling you without a single doubt, YOU CAN. If you need to know that it’s okay if you’re not ready, that is okay! More than anything, don’t forget that this life is yours- so go live it doing what you want to do with it. And if it’s not fun, don’t go to work today!
Happy April 3rd, Friends!

Birnbeck Pier
Designed by Eugenius Birch
Birnbeck Pier is on the north Somerset coast, at Weston Super Mare. Designed by Eugenius Birch and opened in 1867, a banquet was held in the Town Hall on the day of opening and many local people were given a holiday. It is the only pier in England to link the mainland to an island (Birnbeck Island).
Over time it has had rather more design changes than most piers: a 250 foot wooden north jetty was added in 1872, a lifeboat station in 1881, a boathouse in 1889 and a pavilion in 1884. As with many piers of this generation, a tramway transported baggage to and from the steamers that sailed up and down the Bristol Channel.
A new pavilion was added in 1898 and a new lifeboat station in 1902. In 1903, a gale damaged both jetties, closing the pier, but the north jetty was rebuilt and re-opened in 1904. In an effort to win back support from the public, after the opening of a new pier in Weston, they added a water chute, switchback railway and roller rink, all of which proved very popular.
During the Second World War the pier was commissioned as HMS Birnbeck for research into new weapons. The pier reopened after the war, but the number of visitors and steamer passengers were by then in decline. The final excursion visited the pier in 1979.
Since its closure, ownership has passed hands several times and it has not always been clear who owned parts of it, or strips of land adjoining it. It has been subject to a series of proposals for its redevelopment, which have all proved fruitless.
The history of the pier in the last twenty or so years has been the usual dreadful story of speculative redevelopment proposals by private companies, whose intentions were unclear, politicians dipping their toes in, crying crocodile tears and doing nothing. Plans and proposals from interested parties, such as the Birnbeck Regeneration Trust have been dismissed. The Royal Society of British Architects got involved, launching a campaign to redesign the buildings on the pier, but that came to nothing because of lack of funding.

Book Review – Write My Paper Today
Hi! I am Hannah, a writer from the book review writing service ( https://place-4-papers.com/write-my-book-review/ ). Contact me if you need to buy a book review at a good price.
Some people might not believe it, but indulging oneself in seemingly informal activities such as singing, play rolling, and acting out words and sentences, role play activities can be extremely effective for people who are learning to pick up English as a Second Language (ESL) or English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Such common misconceptions are challenged by Jim Witherspoon in his book English Comes Alive! Dynamic, Brain-Building Ways to Teach ESL and EFL. This is a book in which the author takes on a more dynamic, didactic approach to teaching English. The traditional methods are summarily challenged by this innovative book, in which the author proposes that learning English, either as a second language or simply as a foreign language, need not be complicated. Learning English can be very much like playing a game at home with friends (playing charades for instance, or monopoly). Upon reading English Comes Alive! Dynamic, Brain-Building Ways to Teach ESL and EFL it becomes instantly clear that it is a book in which students (of any age level) can learn how to listen, read, and write in English; they can also learn about pronunciation, so as to become fluent and articulate in the language.
This book is designed specifically for low intermediate learners of English, and due to this, the author takes on a comprehensive approach that seeks to develop each of the aforementioned competencies (reading, writing, listening, and pronunciation) independently. The book is divided into 27 chapters, each of which focuses on a different activity that is specifically designed to develop English learning skills. The first fourteen chapters of the book focus on English speaking and pronunciation. Activities such as planning, singing, storytelling, role-playing, acting, rhyme reading, and blooper corrections are some of the activities that Jim Witherspoon contends will engage students and teach them all of English’s basics.
The remaining chapters of the book focus on developing the student’s reading and writing skills. Reading, commenting, and making jokes allow for a fun way of reading and writing. Furthermore, on the second part of the book, the author invites students to take their basic knowledge of the English language beyond the classroom. Each accomplishment is celebrated (each time that students get a role play or a rhyme down correctly, for example). It is not just about learning, it is about motivating students and making them feel that they are actually succeeding in their quest to learn English. Another interesting idea that the author introduces is the role that the teacher should play within the entire process. Instead of being a figure of authority that intimidates students with tests, excessive homework, and a gravely serious voice, the author contends that the teacher should act like another student. Teachers need to embrace the teaching process with enthusiasm, participate in the student’s activities and share in their fun.
All in all, this is an excellent book for English beginners; it contains all of the knowledge and innovative methods and ideas that Jim Witherspoon has learned from his twenty year experience teaching overseas. This is a book that makes no discrimination. It matters not if a student is young or old, if it is a doctor or a layman. Instead, this is a book specifically tailored to remove students’ fear of engaging, learning, and mastering a new language.

Learning Through Adventure
Once a traditional Paiute meeting place, Dayton was used as a base camp for fishing on the Carson River and as a winter camp, sheltered from the snows of the nearby Sierra. The discovery of silver and gold changed that forever. In 1849, Abner Blackburn, during a stopover on his way to the California gold fields, was the first to find gold. Legend has it he used a hunting knife and a frying pan to prospect. It was not a rich strike, however, and as California beckoned, Abner and his friends moved on.
In 1849, Spafford Hall built a log trading post to serve prospectors and emigrants, and the area became known as Halls Station. Over the next few years the name changed several times and finally, in 1861, the town was named Dayton after town surveyor and future Surveyor General John Day.
Dayton was the Lyon County seat from 1861 until 1909, when one of the frequent and often suspicious fires burned the courthouse. At that point, Yerington won the battle to become the county seat.
It was the silver discoveries that created the need for stamp mills to crush the rock and release the metal for use. There was water available in the valley and in 1861 the first ore crushing stamp mill was built in Dayton. Eventually there were 21 quartz mills along the Carson River. The Rock Point Mill, located in the Park on the west side of the highway, was one of the earliest large mills in Nevada built to crush ore from the Comstock mines. The mill brought workers and merchants from across the Nevada Territory, turning Dayton into a bustling mining town.
In the mid 1850s, camels were tested by Lt. Edward Beale of the U.S. Army for use in caravan operations in the southwest. The experiment was unsuccessful. The camels were auctioned off and brought to Dayton to haul wood and salt to the mills and mines of the Comstock. The Leslie Hay Barn on Pike Street corralled the camels and they were used for the next 10 years. They were later abandoned to fend for themselves. Few were seen after the 1880s.
Dayton was a Pony Express stop between July 1, 1861, and November 20, 1861, and also served as a stage stop and depot for the newly completed railroad.
Disastrous fires in 1866, and again in 1870, wiped out most of the town, and the population dwindled. Construction of the Sutro Tunnel in the late 1870s revived Dayton's population to some extent, but the fires took a toll. By 1900 the population had dropped to a mere 500 residents due to the decline in the mining industry.
The mill, too, was destroyed by fire, first in 1882 and again in 1909, and floods also caused damage. Although the mill was rebuilt, demand lessened and it was dismantled and moved to Silver City in the 1920s.
Huge quantities of wood were needed to support the mining activities in Virginia City and surrounding areas. Dayton was known as the "Cordwood Capitol" of Nevada and by around 1870, all the wood from the valley was cut. Then, from the 1920s to 1954, the mill site was used as the local dump. In 1954 the property was deeded to the Nevada Department of Transportation, and in 1977 the Nevada Legislature officially transferred the land to Nevada State Parks, establishing Dayton State Park. Construction began early in 1979 and the park was opened to the public in the fall of that year.
The Carson River flood of 1997 substantially changed the flow of the river, which is now considerably more to the east than before the flood. The park now serves as a site for year-round camping, picnicking, nature study and events in the park's group area.

BREAKING: Aregbesola breaks silence after Oyetola’s defeat
The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has broken silence on the just-concluded Osun State Governorship election.
The former Osun State governor, who boycotted the election, had remained silent on development in Osun State after his outburst against the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress and his political boss, Bola Tinubu, in February 2022.
The ParrotReporters.com had reported that the Independent National Electoral Commission on Sunday morning declared Ademola Adeleke the Governor-Elect of Osun State after scoring a majority of votes cast in the governorship election in the state.
The victory came for Adeleke nearly four years after failing by a small margin in his bid to govern Osun State.
On Saturday, Adeleke polled 403,371 votes to defeat his closest rival, the incumbent governor of the state, Gboyega Oyetola, who polled 375,027 votes.
Though 15 political parties participated in the election, the top contenders were Oyetola and Adeleke.
Both Oyetola and Adeleke contested for the Osun governorship seat in 2018, which Oyetola won after a rerun.
The ParrotReporters.com had reported that Aregbesola had publicly moved against the second-term ambition of Governor Oyetola.
Instead, Aregbesola endorsed the former Secretary to the State Government, Moshood Adeoti, who later lost to Oyetola at the APC governorship primary election held on February 19, 2022.
Aregbesola reacted to the election in a post titled, ‘Osun Le Tente’ on Sunday morning.
He posted a bible verse, Daniel 4:17, which exalts God’s power to place control in the hands of whoever He wishes.
“This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.” – (Daniel 4:17),” the minister posted.
In the outburst ahead of the party’s governorship primary election in the state, Aregbesola said that enough is enough for the politics of godfatherism and enthronement by treacherous leaders who equated themselves to the status of a god.
The minister had said he trusted Tinubu, but the ex-governor of Lagos State repaid him with betrayal.
Aregbesola, who was the Governor of Osun State from 2010 to 2018, also accused Tinubu and ex-governor of Osun State, Bisi Akande, of forcing the current governor of the state, Gboyega Oyetola, on the people, against popular will.
Though Aregbesola made moves to reconcile with his political boss Tinubu, the efforts yielded no result.
A few hours to the governorship election, a faction of the APC led by the minister, The Osun Progressives, released a statement noting that despite the fued, its members would remain in APC.
This was after a stalwart of the APC and one of the closest loyalists to Aregbesola and a TOP mobiliser, Kolapo Alimi, defected to the PDP.
Why Aregbesola shunned Osun election -Aide
Aregbesola did not partake in the Osun State Governorship election.
It was learnt that the former governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, has travelled abroad to attend a conference.
According to an aide of the minister, Aregbesola shunned the election to avoid a crisis.
It was learnt that the minister was in Lagos State on Thursday before travelling to Abuja on Friday.
When contacted, Aregbesola’s media adviser, Sola Fasure, confirmed the minister’s absence.
“He proceeded on an official assignment on Friday,” Fasure said.
The media aide noted that Aregbesola was not invited to work for Oyetola’s second-term bid in Osun.
He also said the minister was not named in the Osun State campaign team by the All Progressives Congress.
He said, “Aregbesola is not in Oshogbo. He is on an official assignment. He was not invited and not a part of the election council. The governor did not also invite him to be part of the campaign.”

Mission statement/
Knollwood Elementary School » Counseling » Mission statement
School counselors in the Parsippany Troy-Hills School District support all students’ intellectual, social and personal development. Working with students, we provide opportunities to develop skills in the areas of social-emotional growth, problem solving, and organization.
Counselors collaborate with teachers, support staff, and administrators to help incorporate the school’s mission throughout our community and best serve your child.
Counseling is a process that offers a safe environment to explore feelings and discuss concerns. Through this process, counseling can help students and families explore new ideas, problem solving skills and coping strategies.
The counselor assigned to your child will remain with him/her throughout their six years at the Elementary school. This arrangement enables the counselor to truly get to know your child as an individual and to develop a positive, trusting relationship which is essential for effective counseling. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2385 | {"url": "https://parsippanykes.ss9.sharpschool.com/cms/One.aspx?portalId=28171&pageId=43388362", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "parsippanykes.ss9.sharpschool.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:07:38Z", "digest": "sha1:XVDK3DEGZD2URZSVFSM2UAP5DH44TM3N"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1041, 1041.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1041, 5338.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1041, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1041, 259.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1041, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1041, 244.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1041, 0.34883721]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1041, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1041, 0.03082192]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1041, 0.13953488]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1041, 0.64383562]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1041, 6.0]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1041, 4.34298814]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1041, 146.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 80, 0.0], [80, 354, 1.0], [354, 519, 1.0], [519, 745, 1.0], [745, 1041, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 80, 0.0], [80, 354, 0.0], [354, 519, 0.0], [519, 745, 0.0], [745, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 19, 2.0], [19, 80, 8.0], [80, 354, 35.0], [354, 519, 22.0], [519, 745, 33.0], [745, 1041, 46.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 80, 0.0], [80, 354, 0.0], [354, 519, 0.0], [519, 745, 0.0], [745, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 80, 0.0], [80, 354, 0.0], [354, 519, 0.0], [519, 745, 0.0], [745, 1041, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 19, 0.05263158], [19, 80, 0.08196721], [80, 354, 0.02554745], [354, 519, 0.00606061], [519, 745, 0.00884956], [745, 1041, 0.01013514]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1041, -6.08e-06]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1041, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1041, 0.01152313]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1041, -66.89707646]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1041, -13.81400241]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1041, -33.96554596]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1041, 7.0]]} |
What Are Mobile Applications

What Are Mobile Applications?
Mobile applications are computer programs that are designed for use on mobile devices. These applications are very useful to businesses and individuals. Many of today’s smartphones have an application store where you can download free apps. These stores allow you to find and purchase apps that you want to use. In addition, many of these stores also offer a variety of other benefits. These benefits make it important for you to understand how to use apps in your business. Below are some things to know about mobile applications.
First of all, you need to understand what an app is. Although apps are generally free, they are usually downloaded from an app store. These stores offer a variety of apps, ranging from games and productivity applications to social networking and entertainment apps. These stores can be found in almost any city, homepage and they have their own unique set of rules and regulations. Depending on the type of application, you may be able to use the same application on a number of devices.
Another type of app is called a hybrid app. These apps combine desktop and mobile apps. The main difference is that they use the same platform, and they can run offline. They also require an internet connection. While some apps only exist in one form, they may also exist in all three. These apps can be used on both desktop and mobile devices. The choice depends on the type of content you’re looking for, as well as the functionality you need.
When it comes to mobile apps, the first two categories were for productivity. But as the popularity of smartphones increased, so did the number of apps. As these applications become more popular, their usage has expanded beyond their initial purposes. In general, these applications require an Internet connection to run. They’re downloaded from app stores and can be used on multiple devices. Some apps are even designed to emulate old computers and game consoles, as well as mainframe computers.
Despite the many benefits of mobile apps, there are still many downsides to using these apps. While they can offer you information and entertainment, they may not provide all of the features and functionality that you need to stay productive. For instance, if you’re a parent, you might not be able to control your child’s smartphone’s behavior. Moreover, your children may not be able to use it if it is in a safe place.
Originally, apps were primarily intended to help users get tasks done, but their popularity soon surpassed their initial purpose. Some apps are designed to help children learn or solve problems, while others were designed to entertain adults. For example, some people use apps to play games. Those who want to relax with an app may find it helpful in a stressful situation. They are available on mobile phones, so that they can work anywhere. Those who want to be entertained should download an app that allows them to do so. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2386 | {"url": "https://pasadenalekki.com/what-are-mobile-applications-51/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "pasadenalekki.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:14:46Z", "digest": "sha1:E62DUQJV62I6S3U7JZA7GF4C4PH6V66F"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3076, 3076.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3076, 3864.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3076, 9.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3076, 46.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3076, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3076, 151.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3076, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3076, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3076, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3076, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3076, 0.46911519]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3076, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3076, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3076, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3076, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3076, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3076, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3076, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3076, 0.02891566]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3076, 0.00963855]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3076, 0.02008032]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3076, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3076, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3076, 0.12353923]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3076, 0.4318618]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3076, 4.77927063]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3076, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3076, 4.94790873]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3076, 521.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 29, 0.0], [29, 135, 0.0], [135, 165, 1.0], [165, 697, 1.0], [697, 1185, 1.0], [1185, 1631, 1.0], [1631, 2129, 1.0], [2129, 2551, 1.0], [2551, 3076, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 29, 0.0], [29, 135, 0.0], [135, 165, 0.0], [165, 697, 0.0], [697, 1185, 0.0], [1185, 1631, 0.0], [1631, 2129, 0.0], [2129, 2551, 0.0], [2551, 3076, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 29, 4.0], [29, 135, 17.0], [135, 165, 4.0], [165, 697, 88.0], [697, 1185, 84.0], [1185, 1631, 81.0], [1631, 2129, 79.0], [2129, 2551, 74.0], [2551, 3076, 90.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 29, 0.0], [29, 135, 0.06060606], [135, 165, 0.0], [165, 697, 0.0], [697, 1185, 0.0], [1185, 1631, 0.0], [1631, 2129, 0.0], [2129, 2551, 0.0], [2551, 3076, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 29, 0.0], [29, 135, 0.0], [135, 165, 0.0], [165, 697, 0.0], [697, 1185, 0.0], [1185, 1631, 0.0], [1631, 2129, 0.0], [2129, 2551, 0.0], [2551, 3076, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 29, 0.13793103], [29, 135, 0.06603774], [135, 165, 0.13333333], [165, 697, 0.01315789], [697, 1185, 0.0102459], [1185, 1631, 0.01569507], [1631, 2129, 0.01405622], [2129, 2551, 0.00947867], [2551, 3076, 0.01142857]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3076, 0.79090667]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3076, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3076, 0.05375874]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3076, -140.20258609]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3076, 26.52303085]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3076, -184.14718314]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3076, 36.0]]} |

With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act finally gaining traction, the healthcare discussions in 2014 should shift from who is covered to what is covered. Robert Pearl, M.D. points out four medical stories that were overshadowed by the ACA in 2013, and tells us why they were important:
As a nation, we tell ourselves and the world that we are the best. For a limited number of expensive procedures, that’s true. But U.S. health care costs are the highest in the world and our results are average at best.
Who or what is to blame? Some of it stems from a medical culture that values intervention over prevention. Some of it reflects a health care pricing system that inflates costs with no strong incentive to be more efficient. Some of it is resistance to change, beginning with how we train doctors. And sometimes, it’s the patients who turn a blind eye to inconsistent costs and quality of care, or to the consequences of pharmaceutical advertising and for-profit payments to physicians.
Will the media make it a New Year’s resolution to educate all of us about these important stories in 2014?
Dr. Pearl looks at one common and expensive procedure that may be on insurers’ chopping blocks:
Cesarean birth rates in the U.S. are double the World Health Organization’s recommended rate of 15 percent. Why does that matter? Cesarean births can lead to childhood illness and complications in subsequent pregnancies.
According to the Childbirth Connection, a cesarean section (or “C-section”) is the most common operating room procedure in U.S. hospitals. It’s not only a high-cost proposition to the health care system, it’s also a high risk procedure for both the mother and child.
Elective, scheduled C-sections are important for women who are a week beyond their due date. They help the patient avoid a more dangerous set of complications. But some cesarean births are scheduled “early” – with less than 39 weeks of gestation – for the convenience of the doctor or the patient. These are unnecessary and dangerous. They are dictated by doctor preference, and contradict the best medical evidence.
In the future, we can expect insurers to heavily scrutinize such physician practices. They are likely to refuse to pay for unnecessary procedures, particularly when they add avoidable risk.
Dr. Pearl thinks a major part of the ACA — practically ignored by the media in 2013 — is its emphasis on the impact of prevention on saving lives, improving the quality of lives, and lowering health care costs:
Recognizing the value of preventive services, the government mandated through the ACA that insurance companies include preventive screenings at no cost in the future. The ACA also provided funding for over the counter medications like vitamin D for osteoporosis prevention, aspirin for patients with heart problems and fluoride to reduce tooth decay. In addition, it set aside $15 billion to fund investments in prevention over the next 10 years.
Funding through the ACA may improve overall performance. But until physicians, patients and the media value prevention as much as intervention, the problems are likely to grow worse before they become better.
Prevention is always better than intervention. It starts today — by getting on that treadmill, eating more vegetables, drinking more water (and less sugar), quitting bad habits, making that check-up appointment you were meaning to schedule — everything on our list of New Year’s resolutions!
Time for a new beginning!

Blue in all of its wonderful shades, a sweet-smelling aroma and luxuriant landscape, Ponza feels like a secret, a hidden gem surrounded by the Mediterranean
Ponza is a remaining of an extinct volcano and just this adds more magic and mystery to the place.
The island’s charm lies in its timelessness and simplicity.
A paradise on earth, as Eugenio Montale defined it. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2389 | {"url": "https://peninsulaswimwear.com/pages/greetings-from-ponza", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "peninsulaswimwear.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:14:13Z", "digest": "sha1:CONBOOVGDPINT3KZFJA5AZ7CSHSTV7RH"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 367, 367.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 367, 7370.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 367, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 367, 352.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 367, 0.89]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 367, 334.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 367, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 367, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 367, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 367, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 367, 0.39726027]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 367, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 367, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 367, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 367, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 367, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 367, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 367, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 367, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 367, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 367, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 367, 0.01369863]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 367, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 367, 0.12328767]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 367, 0.79032258]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 367, 4.80645161]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 367, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 367, 3.76530565]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 367, 62.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 157, 0.0], [157, 256, 1.0], [256, 316, 1.0], [316, 367, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 157, 0.0], [157, 256, 0.0], [256, 316, 0.0], [316, 367, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 157, 25.0], [157, 256, 19.0], [256, 316, 9.0], [316, 367, 9.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 157, 0.0], [157, 256, 0.0], [256, 316, 0.0], [316, 367, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 157, 0.0], [157, 256, 0.0], [256, 316, 0.0], [316, 367, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 157, 0.01910828], [157, 256, 0.01010101], [256, 316, 0.01666667], [316, 367, 0.05882353]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 367, 0.35271251]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 367, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 367, 0.00270689]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 367, -7.77043523]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 367, 0.85362153]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 367, 0.00740046]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 367, 3.0]]} |
The Benefits of Gambling Systems
The benefits of gambling systems can be tremendous for beginner and inexperienced gamblers. These systems are developed by professional gamblers and strategists who have, and continue to make, thousands of dollars in the casinos, on river boats and at online casinos. They can educate the inexperienced gambler by providing them with information about the inner workings, odds, tips, tactics, strategies and software that can help them maximize their potential winnings. They educate beginners on money management, betting strategies and software that will help them minimize their losses and boost their profits without jeopardizing their financial stability.
More and more people are losing their jobs every day – bitcoin roulette and it’s not looking like that will change any time soon. And we all know that Social Security is not something we will be able to count on in our future. People may start turning to gambling to try to hit a big winner just so they can pay to keep a roof over their families’ heads and food on their table. When they do that, they need to be educated on how the games work and the best strategies to use to achieve huge profits.
The internet gaming industry may also soon see a revival with the expected introduction of legislation aimed at overturning the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act by Representative Barney Frank, Democrat of Massachusetts. If this becomes a reality, then the public needs to be better educated on the mechanics and skills needed for their chosen game(s) as well as the potential pitfalls and how to avoid them. They need to learn how to manage their money and themselves, and utilize the tools available so they can continue to enjoy gaming and maximize their winnings. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2390 | {"url": "https://peppers-reflection.com/2022/02/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "peppers-reflection.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:19:53Z", "digest": "sha1:F5DRXA3NFCR2D3GX7SVMOK6TTGIIFB42"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1771, 1771.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1771, 2845.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1771, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1771, 76.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1771, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1771, 222.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1771, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1771, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1771, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1771, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1771, 0.49378882]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1771, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1771, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1771, 0.03851444]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1771, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1771, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1771, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1771, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1771, 0.01444292]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1771, 0.01788171]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1771, 0.02888583]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1771, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1771, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1771, 0.08695652]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1771, 0.5665529]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1771, 4.96245734]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1771, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1771, 4.7408122]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1771, 293.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 33, 0.0], [33, 694, 1.0], [694, 1195, 1.0], [1195, 1771, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 33, 0.0], [33, 694, 0.0], [694, 1195, 0.0], [1195, 1771, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 33, 5.0], [33, 694, 96.0], [694, 1195, 99.0], [1195, 1771, 93.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 33, 0.0], [33, 694, 0.0], [694, 1195, 0.0], [1195, 1771, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 33, 0.0], [33, 694, 0.0], [694, 1195, 0.0], [1195, 1771, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 33, 0.12121212], [33, 694, 0.00605144], [694, 1195, 0.01197605], [1195, 1771, 0.02256944]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1771, 0.59763193]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1771, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1771, 0.00627726]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1771, -55.43944594]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1771, 28.01410363]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1771, -68.54164929]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1771, 11.0]]} |

To help all students across the globe learn English with affordable, quality online English language training while offering special support for disadvantaged students.
To achieve that goal, everything we do is driven by a combination of two critical elements:
We continually invest in the latest technology to provide the best online experience possible for our students
We put expert English language teachers at the heart of the learning experience. This means that all our teachers are University graduates, have the highest qualifications to teach English as a foreign language and have a minimum of 10 years of practical English teaching experience.
We firmly believe that anybody can learn with the aid of a good teacher, and we only work with some of the best English language teachers that there are.

Jonathan Kvanvig
Did this ever happen with you that you have been taking snaps of all the important events going around you in your life, but you ended up losing all of them just because you had a hard drive crash? All your efforts and memories just went in vain. Is it even worth it? If that has been the case with you, it is obvious that you would know what pain does it take! Here we have brought you a device, “PhotoStick!” Through this review, we would take you through the features of this device and why would you need it, so that you get a better understanding of whether or not you should have this gadget along with you! It is a simple USB flash drive that would have a backup of all your important files without any stress. It works great, and people who have used it so far seem to be really satisfied with it. Well, you do not require to be a tech freak in order to be able to use it. Indeed, it takes as much as you would need to operate a USB flash drive. It is that simple! Trust me.
If you are just starting up and do not know how to start with this PhotoStick, let me tell you that you do not need a lot of knowledge to do so! It works quite similar to that of a USB flash drive. It can easily take a backup and store all your images within itself in just a matter of a few seconds. One of the best things about using PhotoStick is that you will not have to worry about losing any of your snaps ever again. All of them would be kept in just a single place, and you can easily choose to hook them up with multiple devices, be it any of your laptop or PC, and won’t need to bang your head any further in case you have a hard drive crash. Another amazing thing about this PhotoStick is that you get a one-click software to get the files transferred. You would just need to wait for a couple of minutes and you are done!
Notable Features Of PhotoStick | Should You Buy?
It is quite obvious for you to crave for knowing a bit more about PhotoStick so that you can convince yourself about why should you need one. Indeed, there are a few considerations to make sure that PhotoStick actually relates to your needs and wants. Here are a few essential features and considerations that would help you get a clear idea about purchasing a PhotoStick for yourself.
The basic idea about using a PhotoStick is to save your photos or images that you might look at years after! Therefore, you need to make sure that you have access to a good amount of storage space. Most of the USB devices that were in use traditionally offered quite a few options; however, PhotoStick comes with only 3 option sizes, to ensure that you find it easier to pick the one that’s apt for you at a lowered confusion. Too many things, and you seem to be a lot more confused. Well, let me brief you about the differences between these 3 available options.
Let’s start from the smaller one and gradually move on to the bigger one! The first available size of PhotoStick is 8 GB, which gives you a capacity of holding 3,500 photos. The 2nd available option offers a 64 GB size wherein you can hold around 30,000 images. The last available option is that of the 128 GB, and you get a capacity of holding 60,000 images into it. 128 GB, quite much, isn’t it?
Note: We have made this count based on the standard photo sizes. Depending on whether you have smaller or bigger photo sizes, the number would vary! Also, it depends only on the plan that you have on saving those images. Yeah, that’s true! It’s only because a few of us would keep all the images, each and every capture, while others would end up deleting the ones that aren’t of good quality.
Before investing in a device, it is definitely important to make sure that you can figure out its usage to make sure that your money is worth it. As the name itself says, it is mostly used to save and store photos. However, you can use it to save other file formats as well, including that of videos and documents. If you want to save mostly videos and photos, I would say PhotoStick would be the right deal for you. You should be clear enough about the kind of files that you would want to save, so that you do not end up losing your money into it. PhotoStick is usually compatible with most file types. However, I would still like to mention a few types that would work the best with this device without any trouble. They include JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, ICO, TIFF, WMV, MOV, AVI, MPEG4, Photoshop, PCT file, and Camera Raw.
Image File Types
PCT File
Video File Types
If there is any other media file that you are looking to back up, you should look for another device.
Of course, the functionality of the device is important. Alongside this, you can decide it based on its style as well. As you would be looking up to it frequently, you will want to know that you find the style attractive enough! When it comes to style, there are a few essential factors that you would love the most. One of the most amazing things about the style is ‘color.’ Well, PhotoStick usually comes with a limited number of options, including that of white, black, yellow, and red – the only primary colors. These varieties come with the same logo, but the primary colors still seem to be pretty impressive!
Compatibility is yet another important decision to make sure that it supports your device(s), including computers, laptops, and mobile phones. The PhotoStick is compatible with OS including Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. It is also compatible with Mac OS X Version 10.7 and later. On the other hand, the PhotoStick Mobile for Android works on Version 5.0 (Lollipop) and later. PhotoStick Mobile for iPhone/iPad is apt for iOS Version 11.3 and later. I have already mentioned the file formats that the PhotoStick supports! Another thing that you may do is to check the information of the photos so that you know the size of the files that you would be transferring.
Post-Purchase Service
One important thing that you should consider while investing in the PhotoStick is its ‘Post Purchase Service.’ Customer Service counts to be one of the most significant factors too! The Money-Back Guarantee and Warranties are some of the important factors to consider in this regard. It doesn’t offer too much in terms of warranties, but it offers a 30 days money-back guarantee. This day count will start right from the day your product is delivered. Besides, PhotoStick has an excellent customer support team that remains ready to help all the time. In case you face any issue, the team is there to figure it out for you.
Is there any other benefit that PhotoStick Comes Up With?
Well, apart from holding your images, it is capable of supporting other file-formats, including that of documents and video files. Besides, the PhotoStick allows you to automatically search for any kind of file from that huge heap of files. There are times when you might end up forgetting about an image or a document that you have kept years back, and have never known about it post that! PhotoStick will lead you to that particular file so that all your old memories pop up into your head all over again. It is undoubtedly a great way to cherish all those past memories.
How does the PhotoStick work?
The PhotoStick functions quite similar to that of the regular Flash drive. It has also got a striking resemblance to the drive. Besides, it has a USB port that makes it even more easy in terms of operation. Just make sure that your computer or laptop is running, before you insert this device into any of its ports. After proper insertion, you will find a dialog box appearing on the screen. There will be a “GO” button at the bottom-right corner of the popped-up window. Simply press it to give access to the PhotoStick to your PC or laptop. Once the transfer is done, PhotoStick creates a backup of all the data. The speed of functionality usually depends on the size and number of files you have been transferring.
How to start PhotoStick on Windows?
Using PhotoStick on Windows isn’t too difficult! You do not require to be a tech freak in order to access this device. You would just need to read through the lines and move through the steps ahead. This guide is pretty simple and easy. Just have a look at it to find out how things work!
1. At first, insert your PhotoStick inside the open USB slot.
2. Find the USB inside the File Explorer. Next, open ThePhotoStick_Windows.exe.
3. As the program gets loaded, just click on the “Go” button.
How to start PhotoStick on Mac?
If you have a Mac device, using PhotoStick into it isn’t difficult either! The steps are absolutely simple, and it is no rocket science. Here are the steps that you would need to follow:
1. Plug the PhotoStick into the USB slot of your Mac.
2. You will easily find the PhotoStick icon on your home screen. In case you do not find the icon on the screen, go to the Finder and open it from the list of devices therein.
3. Open the file, the PhotoStick_Mac.
4. As the program gets loaded, click on the “Go” button, and you are done!
PhotoStick or PhotoStick Mobile – What’s The Difference?
Although the functionality between the two is just the same, there are two available versions of PhotoStick. To decide whether you want an original version or a mobile one – you have to analyse your device usage. Note that PhotoStick PC/Mac version can’t be used with a smartphone, whereas PhotoStick mobile can work with both PC/Mac, and a smartphone. If you are more likely to transfer your files between your PC/Mac & your smartphone, go for the PhotoStick Mobile version. If you want to keep your files reserved for your PC/MAC, then The PhotoStick for PC and Mac would be the ideal choice for you.
PhotoStick makes a quick transfer of media files from your device. Simply plug in the device and hold your patience for a couple of minutes.
It is easy to use, and you will be able to access it in just a click of a button.
There are three multiple options available with PhotoStick. Choose any one of the 3 based on your needs.
It is portable, which means that you can carry it anywhere you want!
It doesn’t organize your photos and files separately. It simply puts all of them together into a single place.
The features and settings of the PhotoStick may require a little time for you to get used to it.
The PhotoStick 8 GB is usually available for $34.99, while the 64 GB is available for $49.99. The PhotoStick 128 GB is available for $79.99.
PhotoStick Overview:
Frequently asked questions about PhotoStick:
1. Why go for a physical device when you can go for an iCloud backup?
Yeah, you may choose to store all your important files in the Cloud storage, but that will certainly cost you a lot more. It’s free till the time you want a limited space. In case you need big storage, it isn’t free anymore. You would need to pay either a monthly or a yearly fee to access it over the expense that you have already been bearing upon the internet.
Another important reason why this PhotoStick device is better than Cloud storage is none other than its flexibility and convenience. Uploading files on the Cloud storage becomes a lot more hassle, especially when moving a huge number of images and videos. Also, it takes a lot of time and energy since you would need to choose the files that you want to upload manually. On the other hand, PhotoStick makes sure that you have to invest in the device only once. Also, press a single button, and your files are backed-up without any trouble. Last but not least, it doesn’t require any logins.
2. How reliable is the PhotoStick?
PhotoStick is extremely reliable since it can be physically removed from the device and stored safely in a separate place. As a result, no one can hack into this flash drive or get access to your files by any chance. Besides, it does not use an internet connection. Thus, users who are extra bothered about the security can simply turn off their internet while using this device. This will also eliminate the PhotoStick from all risks of hacking.
3. What are the available sizes for PhotoStick mobile?
PhotoStick mobile is available for both the Android and iOS platforms. You get a 32GB, a 64 GB, and a 128 GB model, all of the 3 right for this! All you need is to hook it up with your smartphone, and you are done!
The PhotoStick device looks like a USB Flash Drive. It appears similar to an ordinary thumb drive, with an advanced software powered inside. It enables you to store, search, and preserve all your images and videos without any complexity. It is an astounding device not just for the PC or laptop, but you may use it for your Android or your iPhone.
PhotoStick is absolutely amazing when it comes to flexible and convenient storing. If you haven’t tried it, I would better recommend you to go for a trial, and I am sure that you will love it! | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2393 | {"url":

Using Advanced Water Quality Monitoring Technologies to Address Water Pollution
By Nancy Stoner in Water Program
At the Pisces Foundation, we believe that new thinking, technologies, and ready to go solutions can provide us with safe water now and into the future. We can have safe water at the tap, farms that grow food without polluting waterways, cities strengthened by cleaner lakes and rivers, and enough water for both people and nature. From satellite remote sensing to citizen science crowdsourcing, emerging data collection technologies hold the potential to transform how a variety of stakeholders confront water pollution challenges and enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of conservation and restoration interventions. On May 5, 2017, Pisces Foundation in collaboration with the Meridian Institute hosted a webinar entitled, Using Advanced Water Quality Monitoring Technologies to Address Water Pollution. The purpose of the event was to generate greater awareness and understanding about the challenges and opportunities associated with generating actionable water quality information using such technologies. The session was designed for water quality practitioners including nonprofits, government agencies, water utilities, and consulting firms, as well as funders interested in emerging water quality monitoring technologies.
The webinar consisted of a series of talks by leading experts from academia, government and the non-governmental (NGO) sector highlighting the capabilities of an array of advanced water quality monitoring technologies. Speakers included:
Robert Shuchman, Michigan Tech Research Institute: Technologies for Multi-Layered Water Quality Data Gathering
Erin Hestir, N.C. State University and Dr. Erin Urquhart, U.S. EPA: Current Capabilities and Limitations of Remote Sensing for Water Quality and Related Land Use Monitoring
Cassandra Pallai, Chesapeake Conservancy: Chesapeake Bay High Resolution Land Cover Project
Hilary Snook, U.S. EPA Region 1: Cyanobacteria Collaborative Monitoring Network: An Approach to Educating, Monitoring, and Managing Harmful Cyanobacteria
Blake Schaeffer, U.S. EPA: Emerging Tools for Detecting Harmful Algal Blooms – Cyanobacteria Assessment Network (CyAn) Project
We are very pleased to be able to offer a recording of the May 5 webinar for those who were unable to attend. Please click the link provided to listen to and view the slide presentations.

Goodbye Terrible Youth
American Wrestlers
By Brian Burlage
Fat Possum
On his unabashedly personal new LP, indie rocker Gary McClure takes stock of his life, in distortion-heavy songs often filled with regret and loss, ugliness and shame.
From 1999 to 2013, the American Wrestlers front man Gary McClure played guitar in the English shoegaze group Working for a Nuclear Free City. Despite being signed to the relatively small label Melodic Records (which just celebrated its 100th release in 2015), the band had big ideas and an even bigger sound—big enough, in fact, to land them a video game contract with Sony: they wrote “Silent Melody” for Infamous. Their dexterous, almost chameleon-like style stemmed from influences as disparate as Bill Evans and the Grateful Dead, and it managed to be psychedelic without sounding dated or hokey. Eventually, as band members began to focus more and more on solo projects, McClure took his omnivorous songwriting spirit elsewhere. He moved to St. Louis to marry Bridgette Imperial, and together they formed the core of American Wrestlers, whose self-titled 2015 debut was a similar grab-bag of musical influence.
With Goodbye Terrible Youth, however, McClure seems to be turning his searchlight inward. The six-minute bedroom-rock epics from the 2015 album are absent here, as are the eight-track Tascam recorders they used to record it. The obvious shadow of other artists has faded, and what’s left here is an aging musician looking through himself to create something new out of the old. After all, the album’s main subject is described in its title: terrible youth. McClure isn’t shy about his memory. He doesn’t wince when he looks back. These are unabashedly personal and reflective songs, often filled with regret and loss, ugliness and shame. But, as McClure boldly sings on “Hello, Dear,” “Where goes youth, I go.”
The album begins with “Vote Thatcher,” a death-obsessed track that speaks to a familiar theme for McClure: brutal policing. “I can always look to my son,” he sings, “to be stoned by policemen.” “Kelly,” the sixth track on 2015’s American Wrestlers, is also about police brutality, particularly the death of Kelly Thomas, a 37-year-old homeless man who was beaten into a coma by six police officers in 2011. It seems like a strange thing to begin an album about youth and memory with a song about modern policing, but there’s more to it. “My life for your throne,” McClure mourns on “Thatcher,” “I still can’t believe you died.” The words echo over a haunting synth melody. What is he bargaining for? Who is he bargaining with? We don’t get an answer. And as much as the album is about McClure’s own experience growing up, it’s also about the people who don’t live beyond youth. In this way, the music reflects both promise and tragedy in equal parts.
Heavy guitar distortion—a staple in McClure’s work—colors over many of the songs on Terrible Youth. In “Give Up,” the album’s lead single, the constant buzz of rhythm guitar wins out over a catchy riff. “Amazing Grace,” a beautiful track about surrendering to happiness when the sun comes “bright across the rooftops,” bathes in a gentle hum, almost like sunshine itself. McClure’s use of distortion doesn’t evince ecstasy like it does for the Japandroids, nor does it mimic playfulness like it does for Youth Lagoon. The distortion here is something else, something distressing. “Metal moans will multiply,” McClure sings on “Terrible Youth,” “we’re death in motion.” If the “metal moans” behind the distortion represent anything, it’s the discomfort of remembering where we’ve been, and as McClure suggests, where we’re going.
What holds Terrible Youth back from becoming a really coherent, powerful statement is a kind of haphazardness in its arrangement. McClure doesn’t write choruses, he writes contrition, and sometimes this makes it difficult to take hold of any single resounding emotion in the music. Songs like “So Long” and “Blind Kids” rely on chord changes, but it’s rare for those changes, those shifts of feeling, to build toward anything greater. And beyond casting an ‘80s sheen over the album, synth rhythms and melodies aren’t given any other direction or purpose—they rev the engine without propelling the car.
Although the scattered nature of some of the songs keeps any single narrative from taking shape, the album is a significant improvement for a band that’s still coming into its own, still, in other words, in its youth. When the heartache of memory gets to be too much, American Wrestlers are there to show us, as McClure puts it best, that “All that weight/It could be but it’s make believe/And when it stops it’s nothing.”

After a mastectomy, some women choose to undergo breast reconstruction. Whether practical or emotional, each patient has her own reason for undergoing reconstruction. Some women have difficulty finding clothes that fit properly while others are embarrassed when they lose their prosthesis while swimming or running. However, many simply want to feel whole again.
The creation of a new breast can dramatically improve your self-image, self-confidence and quality of life. Although surgery can give you a relatively natural looking breast, a reconstructed breast will never look or feel exactly the same as the breast that was removed.
Breast reconstruction ideally occurs once breast cancer treatment is complete. Some women may delay breast reconstruction until they are well recovered from their cancer treatment and feel confident in their reconstructive choices.In some cases, reconstruction can be performed immediately following the mastectomy under the same anaesthetic. Immediate reconstruction requires coordination between the general surgeon performing the mastectomy and the plastic surgeon and in some cases, can lead to a delay in the operation due to restricted operating room time. Immediate reconstruction is a reasonable option for women requiring a prophylactic mastectomy or patients with small cancers who will not require post-operative radiation.
Breast reconstruction can be performed in two types of procedures:
Implant Based Reconstruction
One option is to place a silicone implant under the chest skin and pectoralis muscle. This often involves an initial procedure several months in advance to insert a tissue expander. The expander is a balloon-like shell that can be gradually filled by injecting saline though the skin into a port within the expander. [IMAGES FOR THIS] The skin is slowly stretched so that a permanent implant will fit comfortably under the skin and pectoralis major muscle. There are several types of permanent implants ranging from saline filled or silicon filled. The surgery to place either the tissue expander or implant takes about one hour and is performed as day surgery.
TRAM or DIEP Breast Reconstruction
The second option is autologous reconstruction which uses the patient’s own tissue to reconstruct the breast. The tissue can be taken from different parts of the body, including the abdomen, back, thigh and buttocks. Skin and tissue taken from the lower abdomen is the most common form of autologous reconstruction. These tissues are taken with their own blood supply or the blood supply is returned to the tissue once it is placed on the chest. Tissue with its own blood supply is termed a flap. With a flap reconstruction the skin over the lower abdomen is supplied by blood vessel that runs through the rectus abdominis (RA) muscle. Because the flap is oriented across the lower abdomen this flap is called a Transverse Rectus Abdominis Musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap. If the same skin and fat is taken without any muscle it is called a Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) flap. When the tissue is completely removed from the body and then reconnected separately is termed a free flap. Which type of procedure depends on the patient and the size of flap required.
TRAM or DIEP flap harvest leaves patients with a scar running across the lower abdomen and a scar around the belly button (umbilicus). In some cases it can cause abdominal weakness, however this is not a common complaint. Slow healing or a collection of fluid under the skin (a seroma) can also occur post-operatively. If the reconnected blood vessels to the flap clot, this can cause complete loss of the flap, though this is a rare occurrence.
