Private Mars Colonization Venture Contracts with Lockheed, SSTL for Robotic Precursor Studies
by Dan Leone December 10, 2013 January 20, 2023
WASHINGTON — Mars One, a Dutch nonprofit that wants to send volunteer settlers on one-way trips to Mars beginning in 2025, gave Lockheed Martin Space Systems and Surrey Satellite Technology (SSTL) contracts to design a robotic lander and telecommunications orbiter intended for launch to the red planet in 2018.
The contracts are for designs studies only and, at a combined value of only about $340,000, are a long way from a commitment to purchase space hardware.
Lockheed Martin will design the Mars One lander, which will be based on the 350-kilogram Phoenix lander the Denver-based company helped NASA send to the red planet in 2008. U.K.-based SSTL will design the telecom orbiter, according to Mars One’s Dec. 10 press release. Lockheed’s contract is worth $256,000, while SSTL’s contract is worth 60,000 euros, or roughly $82,000, according to Bas Lansdorp, co-founder and chief executive officer of Mars One.
Through merchandise sales and donations, Mars One had raised $183,870 as of Oct. 31, according to the company’s website. The group has also raised revenue from a group of seven sponsor companies, but Lansdorp would not disclose the value of that contribution. Finally, more than 200,000 people applied to the company’s astronaut program, each of whom paid an application fee ranging from $5 to $75, depending on country of origin.
The Lockheed-designed lander would carry experimental equipment designed to extract water from martian regolith, Mars One said in its press release. It would also be equipped with a video camera “to make continuous video recordings,” and demonstrate the operation of new thin-film solar panels on the planet’s surface.
The Phoenix craft on which Mars One’s lander will be based cost NASA about $475 million to build. The mission was selected in 2003 as a reflight of Mars Polar Lander, which crashed into the red planet during its December 1999 landing attempt. Phoenix, which took advantage of hardware built for the canceled 2001 Mars Surveyor Lander, launched in 2007 aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta 2 rocket, touched down in May 2008 and operated for about five months.
Meanwhile, Mars One has SSTL under contract for a “high-level design mission concept study” to look at adapting the company’s medium-size GMP-T geostationary communications satellite platform for use in Mars orbit, SSTL spokesman Joelle Sykes wrote in an email.
“The minimum communication requirement [for the Mars One orbiter] is provision of a link for real-time HD television broadcast,” Sykes told SpaceNews.
In its geostationary configuration, the GMP-T has room for 26 transponders and weighs as much as 3,400 kilograms when fully fueled. A GMP-T spacecraft takes between two and three years to manufacture and ship, according to an SSTL fact sheet.
Mars One, based in Amersfoort, Netherlands, has not identified a launch provider for these robotic spacecraft, nor said how it will pay for them.
“We’re in discussion with a number of potential partners,” Lansdorp wrote in an email to SpaceNews. He declined to identify any of them.
Lockheed and SSTL are not the first companies Mars One has paid for hardware studies. In March, the company engaged Paragon Space Development Corp., Tucson, Ariz., to design the life support systems and environmental suits Mars One settlers would need for the journey to and exploration of the solar system’s fourth planet.
Mars One, which arrived on the scene in 2012, wants to send volunteer human settlers on one-way trips to the red planet. Crewed launches would begin in 2025, to be preceded in 2018 by the lander and telecommunications orbiter that would serve as the group’s first precursor mission. Those launches were originally scheduled for 2023 and 2016. Launches to Mars from Earth, using current rocket technology, are possible only about every two years. The cost of the first crewed launch to Mars will be about $6 billion, Mars One estimates, with subsequent crew launches estimated at about $4 billion each, according to the company’s website.
Similar to the Golden Spike initiative that former NASA associate administrator for science Alan Stern unveiled in 2012, Mars One wants to fund its audacious venture to send humans into the solar system with a high-profile media campaign.
In Mars One’s case, the media campaign would include a reality television series that follows the training of the group’s volunteer settlers, and a film, Lansdorp said.
Mars One “is in advanced negotiations with a major studio for an overall deal for the film [and] television properties,” Lansdorp told SpaceNews.
One thing the group already has in plenty are volunteers. Mars One announced in September that 200,000 aspiring settlers had responded to its call for volunteer astronauts.

WASHINGTON — A company planning to deploy a constellation of radar imaging satellites in the early 2020s announced Nov. 5 that it has received a commercial remote sensing license from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
XpressSAR Inc. of Arlington, Virginia, said it received the NOAA license Oct. 28 for a system of four satellites that will collect synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The planned system, according to the company, will collect images in all weather and lighting conditions at resolutions ranging from 30 meters to less than 1 meter.
The company has not announced who will build and launch the spacecraft.
The company states on its website that it plans to deploy the satellites into low Earth orbit in 2022.

A beautiful movie has been published on the http://iyck2021.org/ website, dedicated to the International Year of Caves and Karst:
It tells the narrative about caves and the ways they come to being. There are several very important environmental roles that caves play in the earth ecosystems. For example, 13% of all groundwater is stored in karst areas. There it forms a vast network of underground landscapes, extensive cave systems. Whet it reaches the surface it forms springs. 700 million people worldwide use this water on their daily bases. Even some large cities are sourced by underground water. For example, Rome, Vienna, Damascus.
It is very important to protect these landscapes because they are threatened with destruction and poisoning. We do this because our ignorance. We just don't see what is lying beneath our feet. Cavers and cave and karst scientists are those who brings the knowledge about the caves to other people. The do it in spite of the fact that very often caves present significant risks and dangers to their researchers. They are full of deep abysses, bottlenecks, huge halls, underwater passages, crashes. These systems can extend to hundreds of kilometres and the deepest of them are more than 2000 meter deep.
More than 90 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and more than 70 Global Geoparks are in cave and karst areas. Every year hundreds of millions of people visit the world show caves.
While conducting research underground cavers measure various cave parameters and take samples. Tens of thousands of kilometres of underground passages has been discovered, documented and mapped so far. The methods of study include for example dye tests to track the course of the water.
One of the valuable resources' caves store the significant amounts of climate data. Also, in the cave sediments the traces of ancient life can be found.
With the ascent of man or ancestors were using caves extensively as shelter. In many caves there are paintings on the walls that date back as far as forty-four thousand years.
Surprisingly, caves contain a variety of diverse and rare underground life, highly specialized to living in dark, cold and wet conditions. These animals are called troglobionts. One of the most important animals are bats. They alone help to produce more 450 products in food, medicine and industry.
Coordinated by the International Union of Speleology, thousands of cavers worldwide will promote understanding and protection of caves and karst with events around the world.
Everybody is invited to join and learn more about the fascinating world of caves and karst!

What exactly is Taizé?
Taizé prayer has given form to a new style of worship that has become popular worldwide.
The music of Taizé is a repetitive singing of prayer chants that focus on simple phrases, often from Scripture, sung in canon. The repetitiveness of the music and prayer creates a meditative prayer experience. The overall service is broken up into elements of psalms, scripture readings, prayer intercessions, and time for silent reflection and prayer.
History of Taizé
Roger Louis Schutz-Marsauche (Brother Roger) was born in Provence, Switzerland on May 12 1915 to a Swiss father and a French mother. Being the child of a Protestant pastor, Brother Roger experienced the divisions and tension between the Protestant and Catholic churches but felt it was important to look beyond religious identification in order to find community and peace.
While attending university in the late 1930s, Brother Roger contracted tuberculosis. It was during this time he became aware of his interest in monastic life. At the onset of WWII, Brother Roger knew he must find a way to assist those suffering from this conflict, so he rode his bicycle some 240 miles to the small dilapidated town of Taizé, France, just outside German-occupied territory. Upon his arrival in Taizé, it is said that an elderly woman offered Brother Roger a meal and encouraged him to stay.
Brother Roger took the woman up on her offer and began raising money to purchase an unused house and its outbuildings. It was in this location that Brother Roger and his sister Genevieve hid war refugees, both Christian and Jewish, until the Gestapo become aware of their activities and the two were forced to leave Taizé.
In 1944, Brother Roger returned to Taizé where he began a regular routine of daily prayer in which he encouraged others to join him. Soon his daily prayers were joined to those of a “small quasi-monastic community of men living together in poverty and obedience, open to all Christians” [1].
After the end of the war, Brother Roger and the community of Taizé assisted recovery efforts by taking in orphans and former German prisoners. During this time, Brother Roger outlined rules for his community which included “silent meals, compulsory celibacy, the sharing of material goods and obedience to the prior, a role he assumed” [2]. Today the monks of Taizé welcome roughly 5,000 young people each week for ecumenical prayer.

The origins of hate

By James Tot Mathiang
How do people learn to hate and how does hate overtakes the human conscience?
“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” ― Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom
March 4, 2023 (SSNA) — Human beings have socially constructed gender, race, religion, and ethnicity, which are followed by certain principles and norms that become sources of hate. When left unchecked, unchecked hate can become a part of a person’s identity and can lead to the desensitization of other people’s feelings and emotions. People learn to hate through various forms of socialization and reinforcement, such as tribal values, the media, and peer pressure. In addition, hate can be reinforced through negative experiences, such as bullying or discrimination. It can also be fueled by fear of the unknown, or by a desire to distinguish oneself from others. This can lead to a feeling of superiority and can cause people to justify their hateful behavior.
Apart from the above factors, I would like to discuss the following factors: race, gender, religion, and ethnicity. These are all factors that can lead to a feeling of superiority. People may feel that they are better than someone else because they belong to a certain race, gender, religion, or ethnicity. This can cause people to make negative assumptions about someone else and can lead to a feeling of hatred. Furthermore, these negative assumptions can be reinforced through negative experiences, such as bullying or discrimination.
Women vs men: A woman who married an abusive man sometimes sees all men as her enemy, though other men know little about what is happening in her family. This is because she is likely to project her feelings of betrayal and hurt onto all men, regardless of the individual. It is a form of defense mechanism to cope with the trauma she experienced in her marriage. Yet, it is important to recognize that not all men are the same, and some may be able to offer her an understanding, caring, and supportive connection.
Another source of hate is race. A culture of hatred can be developed within our homes and kids can learn to hate or love in the family environment. This can be seen through the development of stereotypes that children learn from their parents and guardians. Once those stereotypes are embedded in their belief systems, it becomes difficult to unlearn them, and they become a source of hatred and prejudice towards people of different races. For example, a black man who has endured racial discrimination at school or at work might end up hating all white people. However, the racial discrimination that is happening at his work or school is an isolated case that has nothing to do with all white people. This is because those negative stereotypes become a lens through which the person views all people of a certain race. This is even if the individual has had positive experiences with some members of that race. This creates an “us-versus-them” mentality, with the person believing that all members of a certain race are the same. This can lead to feelings of intense hatred and prejudice, which can be difficult to unlearn.
Religion is another source of hate that can create deep divisions within a community or country. People learn to hate through the beliefs they are taught at a young age by their parents, guardians, and peers. Religion can amplify this hate, as it can provide an ideological framework for people to justify their bigotry and discrimination. Religion can also create an us-versus-them mentality that can lead to extreme conflict. For example, in the aftermath of 911, turbans or hijabs (veils) became a symbol of hate and fear in Western countries just because the people who attacked the United States were Muslims. On the one hand, those who died on September 11th have nothing to do with American politics, but they were killed simply because they were Americans. This created a sense of fear and mistrust among many people, which led to hate crimes against Muslims and other people from the Middle East who looked similar. This kind of prejudice and discrimination can cause deep divisions in communities and lead to even more extreme forms of conflict. Therefore, Nelson Mandela stressed that “Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.”
Last but not least ethnicity is another dangerous source of hate, especially in third-world countries. The two known genocides that were the result of ethnic hate are the Rwanda Genocide and the South Sudan genocide. In 1994, the Hutu majority committed one of the most outrageous genocides of the 20 century. This was due to the fact that the Hutu majority felt that they were being discriminated against by the Tutsi minority, who had political and economic power. As a result, the Hutu majority decided to take matters into their own hands and target the Tutsi minority with violence and genocide. The Hutu carried out a brutal killing of their rival tribe Tutsi, which resulted in the death of an estimated 491,000 to 800,000 Tutsi. The other similar genocide that was the result of ethnic hate and violence is that of the South Sudan genocide. A few years after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA-2005) was signed, rival politicians began to promote ethnic violence to achieve their political ambitions. On December 15th, 2013, the Dinka tribe carried out a well-planned genocide against their rival the Nuer the second largest tribe in South Sudan that left over 20,000 Nuer civilians dead in the capital city of Juba, and tens of thousands of the Nuer displaced to the UN Camps and neighboring countries. This was in part due to the lack of trust between the leaders before the CPA-2005, as they failed to address the underlying issues of tribal conflicts, equal opportunity, and security. This had the result of creating a power vacuum between the two tribes, leading to political leaders exploiting the situation to gain power. Leaders were able to manipulate the situation to their advantage as a result, further weakening the structures in place.
To sum up, Martin Luther King Jr. once said “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. This quote emphasizes the importance of love and understanding in order to overcome hate and prejudice. He was advocating for a peaceful resolution to conflict, rather than trying to use hate and violence to fight against it. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” In that sense, people must not hate each other just because they are of different races, religions, genders, and ethnicities. Martin Luther King Jr. was advocating for the understanding and acceptance of people from all walks of life. He believed that only through understanding and love could people come together and create a better world for all. He argued that hatred and prejudice only further divide people and create animosity, which does not lead to any positive change. His philosophy centered around promoting compassion, acceptance, and understanding of all individuals, regardless of race, religion, or background, in order to build a more equitable society.

Election petition: Akoto Ampaw to lead Akufo-Addo’s lawyers
The Akufo-Addo, Prempeh & Co law firm led by Akoto Ampaw has entered notice of appearance to represent President Akufo-Addo in the election petition filed by former President John Mahama at the Supreme Court.
Also, Amenuvor & Associates with its lead counsel Justin Amenuvor will represent the Electoral Commission in the case which is set to begin after the inauguration of the President.
The opposition NDC on December 30, 2020 filed a petition at the Supreme Court challenging the outcome of the presidential elections.
In a statement after filing the petition, the party said: “The Petition was filed pursuant to the party‘s audit of the 2020 Presidential results and extensive consultations with the National Executive Committee and Council of Elders of the party.
“The Petition details serious violations of the 1992 Constitution by the Electoral Commission and its Chairperson and Returning Officer for the Presidential Election, Mrs. Jean Adukwei Mensa in the conduct of their constitutional and legal responsibilities. It seeks among others, a declaration from the Supreme Court to the effect that, the purported declaration of the results of the 2020 Presidential Election on the 9th day of December 2020 is unconstitutional, null and void and of no effect whatsoever”.

Be Grateful America Hasn’t Managed Covid-19 Like Europe Has
Europe’s management of the pandemic has been a disaster, and it’s getting worse.

Every day I hear someone say, “We should have managed the pandemic the way Europe did.”
No we shouldn’t have. Europe is having a total pandemic meltdown, and the data shows it.
The graph below shows the number of Covid-19 deaths per million people during the past 2 weeks on the vertical axis. Population is shown on the horizontal axis. Orange points are European countries. Blue points are American states. The data used to create the graph is from Johns Hopkins University and was current as of November 1, 2020.
The graph is a bit of an eye exam chart, but the overall gestalt is what’s important. If you look at the US overall (shown on the far right), about half the states are better than America as a whole (they are shown lower on the graph) and about half are worse (shown higher on the graph). Perhaps more surprisingly, about half the European countries are also better, and about half are also worse.
The countries of Iceland and Norway and the states of Maine and Vermont are not shown on the graph because they each have death rates lower than 1 per million.
States and countries with small populations can obscure the big picture. Three of the currently worst US states are among the 6 smallest states in the US. Iceland, Norway, and Finland all have populations of about 5 million or less, which would put them into the bottom half of US states by population.
If we restrict the data set to only states and countries with populations of 10 million or more, we produce the graph shown here:
Over the past two weeks, the larger countries that are doing better against the pandemic than the US are Russia, Greece, Germany, and Sweden.
Every other country of any size in Europe is doing worse than the US, including Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, France, Poland, Romania, Belgium, and Czechia.
In short, 4 of the largest European countries are doing better than America, and 11 are doing worse.
The logarithmic scale might obscure the magnitude of the differences. Here is a different representation of the recent fatality rates of larger US states, European countries, and the US overall.
So which of these countries should America be like? Not Belgium, not France, not the UK, not Spain, not the Netherlands, and not Italy. Should the US be more like Russia? I don’t have much confidence in the numbers being reported by Russia, so I won’t consider it further.
That leaves Greece, Germany, and Sweden, and those countries have had three significantly different approaches to managing the pandemic.
How are the Least Affected Countries in Europe Managing the Pandemic?
Greece significantly relaxed restrictions over the summer months, allowing gatherings of 50–100 in most of the country, allowing both indoor and outdoor restaurant and cafe dining (source), and public swimming. However, at the beginning of November, Greece is imposing stricter measures (source).
Germany has been strict throughout the pandemic, with gatherings limited to two households, restaurant service limited to takeout only, and travel limited to essential travel only (source).
Sweden — the least affected large country in Europe — has been comparatively relaxed about the pandemic from the beginning (source). Face masks are not required and are not generally worn. Gatherings are limited to 50 individuals or smaller. The Swedish government has recommended limited use of restaurants, shops, malls, swimming facilities, and gyms, but compliance is not required, and the recommendations are intended primarily for people age 70 and older (source).
Which Country Should America Emulate?
If we choose Germany, we should be stricter. If we choose Sweden, we should be more relaxed. If we choose Greece, we should more often swing from strict to relaxed and back to strict again. Europe’s experience provides no clarity about what America should be doing differently.
We are already doing better than most of the largest countries in Europe, so perhaps the bottom line is that we should stop thinking about emulating Europe, and Europe should start thinking about emulating us.

Fleeting Freedom
The freedoms we have and enjoy today didn't just come about on their own.
They were fought for, bought and paid for with people's lives and with the many
sacrifices made by non-combatants who supported the war(s) effort.
Society constantly needs to be reminded that the freedom and privileges they
take for granted (every day in America) are owed to brave patriots and their blood.
But, Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Patriot Day,
Veterans Day and Pearl Harbor Day are nothing but a notation on the calendar to
most folks today, unless they get a holiday, in which case the fact of it being a
holiday is celebrated rather than the reason for the day.
And yet, the freedoms that were paid for with blood in both domestic and foreign
wars, on the ground, in the air and on and under the seas are being given away
with unmindful and reckless abandon at the ballot box.
This old veteran finds it more than a little offensive to see what is happening to
the America I love. And I find the 'autumn of my life' a little easier to accept while knowing that I wouldn't really enjoy living in what was once a great free nation.
Those who support socialism, wide open borders, free everything, gun control,
etc. will find out that there are other societies in the world who are watching and
waiting for the right time to take over America, knowing that there is nothing
to stop them. What an insult and slap in the face that would be to all of America's
patriots and veterans. What a terrible waste of lives and sacrifice!
GOD Bless our VETERANS & PATRIOTS and GOD Help AMERICA....

Heartfelt thanks to all Vets. You are the glue that holds this country together.
Written by my late father, a four time decorated veteran who served with honor in Korea, the forgotten war.
IT COMES AND GOES
It comes and goes. Sometimes it stays for a while.
Most often it is but for a fleeting moment.
And then again - sometimes it stays for a while.
What is it that brings it to mind?
A word? Perhaps an object.
And sometimes - The playing of taps.
Why was it that, of the millions who were called upon to step forward in that duty,
that I should have been spared the hardship that some knew?
Why did another stand in my place - to endure the tragedies from which I was spared?
What is this thing that comes and goes?
This that has been with me for so long, does another also experience this?
This - this vague feeling of guilt?
While others, called upon to soldier, lost their life in a conflict forced upon them,
I, somehow escaped that end.
It comes and goes - this vague feeling of guilt.
My Dad loved our country so much that at 17 he enlisted in the navy to fight in WW2. He loved our country so much that after having 2 children, he reenlisted to fight in the Korean action. He loved our country so much that he taught his children to love the USA too. God bless all who have fought for our country and who are fighting now to keep America free.
Thanks to all military vets. I also thank the animal doctor kind of vets as my dog was struck by a truck Saturday and, after x-rays and some meds, I was told he will be just fine.
I'll just copy and paste from today's Johnny Optimism comment:
The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
All quiet on the western front.
If only it had been the War To End All Wars...............
My unending gratitude to all those who have answered the call.
American Cowboy's father hit the nail on the head. I served for four years in the Air Force, starting when I was just 17. In January, 1955 I was flunking out of my first semester in college (no goal; no motivation) and was given the chance to start anew. Ended up at a SAC radar site in Texas, where I spent the remainder of my AF life. It was peacetime, and nothing going on militarily.
I never experienced the horrors of war and missed Viet Nam by several years. My only contribution to that war or any other war that followed was that I helped train bomber crews to optimize their bomb-dropping accuracy. Hopefully, it helped our troops on the ground during the dark days of Nam.
I too feel that "vague guilt" when I hear of the deaths, and the physical and mental maiming of troops who didn't share my peacetime service. It was the "luck of the draw" that allowed me to be here....unharmed, alive and in good health. I can only thank those who paid a far higher price than I did for that to happen.
Bless 'Em All....
Saw a nice tribute on Patriot Post:

It was my honor and Privilege to serve. (USN 68-74; VietNam class of 72.) I thank all who served and are now serving, including especially those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Great video. Dad, grandpa, uncle & brother are Veterans. Dad is Commander of the VFW post & it was fitting that his first grandchild was born on Veteran's Day. He is now part of the Post's Auxiliary. Very proud of my Veteran family and thank you to the Veterans that are here.
@Readers- Wonderful and moving comments above. I can't take any credit for the video - I saw it online and thought that it was more powerful and eloquent than anything I could say or make.
Thanks to ALL who stood in the gap so I could live free, especially my Father, who was an infantryman in many S. Pacific battles including Luzon, and my Father in Law who was a gunner on the USS Massachusetts, also in the S. Pacific. Both have passed on, and I never really got the chance to properly thank them for getting shot at on my behalf, even though I was not even born yet!
I can not fathom their courage in the face of death, and pray today's generation will somehow see it, and see that it trumps just about every "problem" we may experience today. I was cussing my irritating commute to work this morning when it hit me. I should be thanking God and the Greatest Generation for my commute, my job, and mostly my freedom to complain about it!

GOD BLESS THE USA, R Deny USN - 3711120 1961-64 USS COONTZ IC3 62-64.
Two thumbs up, Cousin Stilton. Two thumbs up.
Thank you for this wonderful Tribute. There is nothing more profound than to receive a reminder of what was traded for the safety of the U.S. and its' people. I am watching a NETFLIX special series of the Great Events of WW II. I am 73 and have never been shown the reality of this war. The allies and what they did and overcame. Usually you just see the fighting and dying and bombing. It is much more eye opening to be shown the pain, hardship of our soldiers but to also understand the military plans on all sides. In schol we learned dates, dates, dates with not much understanding. If only history was taught with hardhitting pictures not just remembering thedates. I am learning things I have not even had an inkling of. Everytime I hear a soldier talk like these men, I get a pressure on my chest, an intake of breath and tears. I NEVER FORGET. Every male in my family back to the Revolutionary war has served this country in every war. Be they German, English or the Irish side. I have photo's and letters and the family bibles that tell stories. I am proud that all of them protected the land they loved Bless the U S Military!
This is what I posted at Johnny's place:
I joined the Navy because I thought I was going to be drafted (my lottery number was 61--even in Feb. '72, we still thought any number under 200 was an instant ticket to Saigon). My job was uncomfortable but not dangerous. Those who have been shot at are the ones I need to thank; nobody needs to thank me.
I cannot begin to express the admiration I have for my fellow Vets, living and dead. Perhaps the best movie I have seen lately about this was the "They Shall not Grow Old", about the WWI soldiers.
When I think of the Ultimate Sacrifice that my friends gave in Vietnam, I feel sad and proud of them, I was glad to know them. As a Vet, I understand the dedication that we ALL gave to get the job done - it was a pity I was in during the Vietnam War. It made for a lot of slackers, but even though I was behind (CONUS) keeping the US safe from Russia and others by keeping the missiles ready to go, I did my best to do my job properly and well.
I come from a line of Service Veterans as well, and am proud to have served. But I am even more proud of all those selfless Brothers and Sisters who served in combat, and sacrificed for me and my fellow Americans.
If not for us, this God-blessed Country would have fallen.
SALUTE to all you Veterans on this day!!
I too, have been blessed to come from a serving family. My mother's dad, a member of the Kanza Tribe, was a blacksmith in WW1 in France. He took care of the horses and mules that pulled the field artillery and the ambulances. He was gassed twice. In WW2, my mom and dad worked in defense at Kansas City. He worked at Pratt & Whitney making aircraft engines, she worked at Remington Arms, Lake City Plant, making .30 caliber ammunition. In the 50's and 60's one of my brothers served in the Army. My second brother served in the Navy. I served in the Marines. As I was growing up, there was no doubt that I would serve. The only choice was which branch.

Thanks for posting that video, Stilt.
(US Army, Regular and Reserve, back in the previous century.)
@Alfonso Bedoya
Did you have the "privilege" of working with the AN/MSQ-66, or were you working on the newer model (can't remember the designation)? My brother, stationed in the RBS in Bismarck ND said they were light years ahead of the -66. He did two TDY's in the jungle, Udorn/Ubon and NKP.
Small world!
@JustaJeepGuy,
Yes, the guys who actually dodged bullets deserve our undying gratitude, but when you signed on that dotted line, you were saying that you were willing to be shot at for my sake. That's good enough for me. So...
Thank you too! | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2510 | {"url": "https://stiltonsplace.blogspot.com/2019/11/veterans-day-2019.html?showComment=1573493277773", "partition": "head_middle", "language":

10.22.17 Rev. Bellaimey
“When they heard this, they were amazed, and they left him and went away.”
In the name of God, Amen.
Maybe this amazes you, or maybe it did once upon a time, but like a lot of phrases in the Bible, it has lost its punch with all the re-telling. A Good Samaritan, for example, was once heard as a contradiction, an impossibility. For Judeans, a Samaritan was an enemy. But now, to us, it’s a nice stranger who stops to help. And giving to The Emperor, well, that was an insult. Every time you pulled out your coins to buy something, you were reminded that somebody else ruled your country.
The coin had The Emperor of Rome’s head on it, so it’s his. Money is something a government makes. We mostly use it without thinking, like getting water from the faucet or taking our feet off the brakes when the light turns green. Money is just there. We don’t think about where it comes from, and who it really belongs to. Give The Emperor his money back, Jesus says, and give God……. what?
The government strikes coins and prints bills. The Federal Reserve Bank has
meetings and changes numbers on their spreadsheets, and people all over the world raise and lower other numbers on other spreadsheets. We pull out our plastic card and put it in the parking robot, and it tells Minneapolis parking enforcement to leave us alone for the next hour. We tell Visa to lower the number in our bank account on the fifth of the month, because we told our HR department to raise the number on the 31st. Once a year, we find all our numbers and give them to The Emperor, and he does a lot with the money, but not enough, and not exactly what I want him to do.
We put a number on a card at church, and by the way, if you don’t wince a little at the number, you might consider writing down a larger one.
Is it lawful to pay taxes to the Emperor, or not? Jesus was talking to people who had a lot invested in his answer. The Pharisees regarded anything related to the Romans as unclean. Immoral. Roman Law, Mr. Jesus, or our own Jewish Law, the Law of God? If they could get away with it, they would boycott the tax system. But at least people changed their Roman denarii to proper Jewish shekels in the Temple. To pay the Temple tax, you couldn’t use unclean coins. The Pharisees would say: “we didn’t make up these rules like the Romans made up theirs. God gave them to us!”
The Herodians wanted to trip Jesus up for the opposite reason. They were the people of Herod’s court, and all their wealth and privilege depended on Roman money. They were the One Percent. Herod bought his crown from Rome, paid his goon squads with The Emperor’s gold, and paid for his palace the same way.
So if Jesus said that Jewish law would permit paying Roman taxes, the Pharisees would say Jesus was a false teacher, an enemy of God’s Chosen People. But if Jesus said it was wrong for a Jew to pay taxes to Rome, to please the Pharisees, then he’d be an enemy of the state, and the Herodians would put him on their Wanted list.
Was Jesus loyal to God, who gave us the law of life, or to the State, which enforces the law of the land? Think again, gentlemen, was his answer. Figure out what belongs to what. The coin is made in the image of The Emperor. You and your family are made in the image of God. Money is for taking care of business. People are for taking care of each other. You can’t serve two masters, so don’t start worshipping money. It’s a necessary part of life, but it’s not the point of life. People invented money. For that matter, people invented religion!
But we didn’t invent God, says Jesus. We discovered God. In fact, people who hung around Jesus for a little while began to discover the resemblance.
So his questioners backed away. Looking at him, maybe they half-realized who they were talking to. Come back any time, Jesus seemed to say, when you’re ready to really talk about this question. Life is not a game of clever questions. Life is about learning the difference between what is The Emperor’s and what is God’s. The one is invented. The other is discovered.
You don’t have to be a scientist to discover. You can be a parent. A lover. An animal lover. At our best, when we pay attention, we’re always discovering the beauty and the incomprehensibility of our lives. And we discover more when we are curious, not anxious. Creative, not driven. Amazed, not amazing. Laughing, not fuming.
If e take our eyes off The Empire, we might begin to see our actual lives the way God sees us, and discover what to give to who. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2511 | {"url": "https://stjohns-mpls.org/sermon/10-22-17-rev-bellaimey/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "stjohns-mpls.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:36:28Z", "digest": "sha1:4IIQHMJSE43B5NVPINUS4JDGSCRNB5KJ"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4529, 4529.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4529, 5782.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4529, 16.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4529, 96.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4529, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4529, 264.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4529, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4529, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4529, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4529, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4529, 0.45736434]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4529, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4529, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4529, 0.00902425]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4529, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4529, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4529, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4529, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4529, 0.00846024]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4529, 0.01015228]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4529, 0.00676819]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4529, 0.00387597]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4529, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4529, 0.16085271]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4529, 0.41469194]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4529, 4.2014218]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4529, 0.00193798]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4529, 5.23400575]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4529, 844.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 99, 1.0], [99, 125, 1.0], [125, 613, 1.0], [613, 1004, 1.0], [1004, 1080, 0.0], [1080, 1662, 1.0], [1662, 1804, 1.0], [1804, 2376, 1.0], [2376, 2683, 1.0], [2683, 3011, 1.0], [3011, 3558, 1.0], [3558, 3707, 1.0], [3707, 4074, 1.0], [4074, 4401, 1.0], [4401, 4529, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 99, 0.0], [99, 125, 0.0], [125, 613, 0.0], [613, 1004, 0.0], [1004, 1080, 0.0], [1080, 1662, 0.0], [1662, 1804, 0.0], [1804, 2376, 0.0], [2376, 2683, 0.0], [2683, 3011, 0.0], [3011, 3558, 0.0], [3558, 3707, 0.0], [3707, 4074, 0.0], [4074, 4401, 0.0], [4401, 4529, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 24, 3.0], [24, 99, 14.0], [99, 125, 6.0], [125, 613, 91.0], [613, 1004, 73.0], [1004, 1080, 12.0], [1080, 1662, 112.0], [1662, 1804, 30.0], [1804, 2376, 107.0], [2376, 2683, 55.0], [2683, 3011, 64.0], [3011, 3558, 103.0], [3558, 3707, 26.0], [3707, 4074, 64.0], [4074, 4401, 56.0], [4401, 4529, 28.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 24, 0.3], [24, 99, 0.0], [99, 125, 0.0], [125, 613, 0.0], [613, 1004, 0.0], [1004, 1080, 0.0], [1080, 1662, 0.00350877], [1662, 1804, 0.0], [1804, 2376, 0.0], [2376, 2683, 0.0], [2683, 3011, 0.0], [3011, 3558, 0.0], [3558, 3707, 0.0], [3707, 4074, 0.0], [4074, 4401, 0.0], [4401, 4529, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 99, 0.0], [99, 125, 0.0], [125, 613, 0.0], [613, 1004, 0.0], [1004, 1080, 0.0], [1080, 1662, 0.0], [1662, 1804, 0.0], [1804, 2376, 0.0], [2376, 2683, 0.0], [2683, 3011, 0.0], [3011, 3558, 0.0], [3558, 3707, 0.0], [3707, 4074, 0.0], [4074, 4401, 0.0], [4401, 4529, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 24, 0.08333333], [24, 99, 0.01333333], [99, 125, 0.11538462], [125, 613, 0.02663934], [613, 1004, 0.03324808], [1004, 1080, 0.06578947], [1080, 1662, 0.01718213], [1662, 1804, 0.00704225], [1804, 2376, 0.04545455], [2376, 2683, 0.04234528], [2683, 3011, 0.04878049], [3011, 3558, 0.03107861], [3558, 3707, 0.04697987], [3707, 4074, 0.02997275], [4074, 4401, 0.02752294], [4401, 4529, 0.03125]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4529, 0.83353251]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4529, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4529, 0.18156374]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4529, -1.53383292]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4529, 150.12141071]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4529, -311.5369694]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4529, 72.0]]} |
6.11.17 Rev. Joos
At last we’ve come to the Sunday I know you’ve all been waiting for. Yes! It’s Trinity Sunday! In reality, of course, this completely snuck up on you, didn’t it! Unless you’ve got one of those pocket calendars from the Church Pension Fund. This is the Sunday that causes most clergy to duck and cover. The possibility of trying to clarify our understanding of God as three persons in one substance tends to strike fear in the preacher’s heart.
I could approach this with an intensive theological study beginning with the Ante-Nicene Fathers and continuing on through the interpretations of John Calvin and Martin Luther. Or not. I would hate to look out at the congregation and see less hardy souls falling into a coma, or folks doing what my father did when a sermon was too far gone – namely solving quadratic equations on the back of the bulletin
Besides, that would be like deciding that poetry ought to be explained, using a grammar textbook. And it’s the great poetry of the creation story from Genesis that starts to not explain but show us who God is, what the depth of the cosmos is, and who we are in the midst of it all. So let us begin here.
B’reshit barah Elohim v’hashamayim, et v’haretz… in the beginning of God’s creating, the earth was wild and waste, utter darkness covered the deep, and the Spirit of God was brooding over the face of the waters, swooping like a mother eagle hovering over her young. Then God said, “Let there be light! And from the depths of darkness, there came forth light.”
There is a tendency for us to think of the trinity in terms of God the Father starting everything off, God the Son coming into the game at half-time and God the Holy Spirit as a late substitution sent in after Easter. But here we have Trinity entire in just the first three verses of the Bible: God The Creator moving within God The Spirit and speaking through God The Word to bring order out of chaos.
So there are some other important Trinitarian things to learn from Genesis. We note that God does not create order from the chaos in a sudden fireworks display. Rather there is a glorious process of creation over “days” – whatever length of time that may represent. It should make us think more of evolution than of a magic show.
First there was a separation of light from that deep primeval darkness, making it a coherent presence. It is not that darkness was destroyed, but that it was given its place in the order of things – and it was good.
Then the raging waters that covered everything were pulled back, so that earth itself stood forth – and it was good.
The next thing to see is that the Trinity does not bring off creation alone, all by Godself. Rather, God works in co-creation through the things that have already been made. God calls on the waters themselves to bring forth swarms of living things – fish and sea monsters, and birds. Then God charges the earth to bring forth living creatures – lizards and puppies, chattering monkeys and squawking chickens – and it was all good.
But when it comes to us, we ourselves, God is back in the creating business solo, by Godself: “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness… So God created humankind in God’s image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them, and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it.’”
That last line is a part of what brings loud criticism down on Judaism and Christianity. “This teaches that human beings are commanded to run roughshod over the whole earth, taking whatever we want.” But I would suggest that it actually represents something very different.
When God has finished six days of calling into being, and takes a break for Sabbath, the earth is not finished. It is not something perfect, sweet and completely safe – FDA approved so to speak. There are unfinished edges of chaos in the mix. That is why God’s blessing on us includes that command to ‘fill the earth and subdue it,’ because there is still disorder to be faced – the rough edges of earthquakes, mudslides and tornadoes, of cancer cells and hunger after poor harvests. There is the disorder of sin, which we are given the freedom to choose or reject.
What if the disorder which is still a part of the creation is where we find our vocation as creatures: to make free moral choices, to exercise our creativity, to do the work of tending the garden, which of course has weeds, slugs and hungry rabbits, even in paradise. This is our calling as those in the image of God.
I want you to look at the front of your bulletin. Reproduced there is probably one of the most famous icons ever written: Anton Rublev’s depiction of the Trinity. This has a been a focus for prayer for many people over the years, including me. It shows three figures arranged around an altar, their heads bending slightly toward each other, the lines of their bodies forming a circle. The figure at the bottom left represents the Father; at the top is the Son; around to the bottom right is the Holy Spirit. The circle of their being with each other displays the uninterrupted flow of love between the three persons.
Now look at the front of the altar, where you can see a small rectangular opening. This is meant to represent the place in the altar, for humanity to enter and become one with the Trinity. There is a place for us at the table. This reflects the longstanding teaching of the Orthodox Churches, that all of God’s interactions with us are meant to lead humanity into divinity. Here is our destiny, the completion of creation and growth into God’s fullness.
We are not part of an easy, completed creation that has no pain or flaws. But neither are we forgotten or abandoned. We are created to be one with God in the love that flows eternally between the three persons of the Trinity, the glorious love that beats at the heart of creation. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2512 | {"url": "https://stjohns-mpls.org/sermon/6-11-17-rev-joos/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "stjohns-mpls.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:31:58Z", "digest": "sha1:SLHBUHSBZGKXRUY24BHN5SNGHRTHJXRA"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 5906, 5906.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 5906, 7171.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 5906, 17.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 5906, 97.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 5906, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 5906, 282.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 5906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 5906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 5906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 5906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 5906, 0.47854251]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 5906, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 5906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 5906, 0.01865197]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 5906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 5906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 5906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 5906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 5906, 0.01271725]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 5906, 0.0050869]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 5906, 0.00572276]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 5906, 0.00566802]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 5906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 5906, 0.12712551]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 5906, 0.42937325]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 5906, 4.41347053]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 5906, 0.00161943]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 5906, 5.35979703]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 5906, 1069.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 18, 0.0], [18, 462, 1.0], [462, 868, 0.0], [868, 1172, 1.0], [1172, 1532, 1.0], [1532, 1935, 1.0], [1935, 2265, 1.0], [2265, 2481, 1.0], [2481, 2598, 1.0], [2598, 3029, 1.0], [3029, 3397, 1.0], [3397, 3671, 1.0], [3671, 4237, 1.0], [4237, 4555, 1.0], [4555, 5172, 1.0], [5172, 5626, 1.0], [5626, 5906, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 18, 0.0], [18, 462, 0.0], [462, 868, 0.0], [868, 1172, 0.0], [1172, 1532, 0.0], [1532, 1935, 0.0], [1935, 2265, 0.0], [2265, 2481, 0.0], [2481, 2598, 0.0], [2598, 3029, 0.0], [3029, 3397, 0.0], [3397, 3671, 0.0], [3671, 4237, 0.0], [4237, 4555, 0.0], [4555, 5172, 0.0], [5172, 5626, 0.0], [5626, 5906, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 18, 3.0], [18, 462, 79.0], [462, 868, 71.0], [868, 1172, 60.0], [1172, 1532, 62.0], [1532, 1935, 77.0], [1935, 2265, 59.0], [2265, 2481, 41.0], [2481, 2598, 21.0], [2598, 3029, 76.0], [3029, 3397, 68.0], [3397, 3671, 45.0], [3671, 4237, 103.0], [4237, 4555, 60.0], [4555, 5172, 110.0], [5172, 5626, 81.0], [5626, 5906, 53.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 18, 0.35714286], [18, 462, 0.0], [462, 868, 0.0], [868, 1172, 0.0], [1172, 1532, 0.0], [1532, 1935, 0.0], [1935, 2265, 0.0], [2265, 2481, 0.0], [2481, 2598, 0.0], [2598, 3029, 0.0], [3029, 3397, 0.0], [3397, 3671, 0.0], [3671, 4237, 0.0], [4237, 4555, 0.0], [4555, 5172, 0.0], [5172, 5626, 0.0], [5626, 5906, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 18, 0.0], [18, 462, 0.0], [462, 868, 0.0], [868, 1172, 0.0], [1172, 1532, 0.0], [1532, 1935, 0.0], [1935, 2265, 0.0], [2265, 2481, 0.0], [2481, 2598, 0.0], [2598, 3029, 0.0], [3029, 3397, 0.0], [3397, 3671, 0.0], [3671, 4237, 0.0], [4237, 4555, 0.0], [4555, 5172, 0.0], [5172, 5626, 0.0], [5626, 5906, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 18, 0.11111111], [18, 462, 0.03603604], [462, 868, 0.02463054], [868, 1172, 0.01644737], [1172, 1532, 0.025], [1532, 1935, 0.05210918], [1935, 2265, 0.02121212], [2265, 2481, 0.00925926], [2481, 2598, 0.00854701], [2598, 3029, 0.01856148], [3029, 3397, 0.02717391], [3397, 3671, 0.02189781], [3671, 4237, 0.01943463], [4237, 4555, 0.00943396], [4555, 5172, 0.02106969], [5172, 5626, 0.02202643], [5626, 5906, 0.01785714]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 5906, 0.60695761]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 5906, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 5906, 0.04361945]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 5906, 9.60471362]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 5906, 153.25485236]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 5906, -254.17973858]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 5906, 57.0]]} |

I’ve never known someone who was a victim of an American mass shooting until today.
I turned on Radio New Zealand this morning just in time for the headlines. I was shocked to hear that two TV journalists were murdered during a live interview in my home state of Virginia. As the morning dragged on, I heard the name of one of the victims, Alison Parker. A wave of sadness washed over me.
Alison Parker was a news editor for the James Madison University newspaper, The Breeze. She was the first news editor I worked with.
It’s not like I had a close relationship with Alison — I never really put any effort into building relationships or being friendly when I was in college — but I remember her always being bubbly and cheerful during the weekly news writers meetings. She was driven and motivated.
And now she’s gone.
I’m sick and tired of the constant stream of tragic shootings. I’m not sure if Americans know this, but our mass shootings are the one piece of news that are ALWAYS broadcasted throughout the world.
On my flight from Sydney to Auckland there was one television broadcast for the entire flight, instead of individual monitors. The first program was SKY News. The first story was the mass shooting of nine people at a church in Charleston, South Carolina.
This was on June 19, the exact day that Vester Lee Flanagan claimed he put down a deposit for a gun in reaction to that shooting. I wonder how many crazed attackers this shooting has inspired. It was live on air, giving Flanagan a new level of infamy for others to strive for.
I’m fucking embarrassed to be an American. We are the only developed country in the world that has this problem. Alison Parker was an amazing person and journalist. Now she’s gone because American politicians are afraid of upsetting the National Rifle Association and the gun lobby. She’s gone because American politicians are more interested in tax cuts for the wealthy “job creators” than providing adequate funding for mental health facilities.
As bad as it sounds, this is the first shooting that has made me feel genuine sadness. Americans have become desensitized to mass shootings, but this one is different for me. I’ve talked to her and emailed her. She edited my news reporting on the JMU governing board. She was murdered on live television.

The Father, Son and Antiracism
By C. Monique Duson Published on February 3, 2021 •
C. Monique Duson
Ibram X. Kendi’s How to Be an Antiracist has placed the term “antiracism” at the heart of nearly every race conversation in America, both inside and outside of the church. How to Be an Antiracist is sprinkled with stories from Kendi’s upbringing and college days. His parents, heavily influenced by Black Liberation Theology and the works of James Cone, helped condition Kendi’s antiracist worldview.
Regarding his parents, Kendi writes, “Liberation theology remained their philosophical home, the home they raised me in.” (p.28) This theology was the basis for how the gospel was understood, “Any gospel that does not…speak to the issue of enslavement and injustice and inequity — any gospel that does not want to go where people are hungry and poverty stricken and set them free in the name of Jesus Christ — is not the gospel.” (p.15) It cannot be assumed that Kendi has maintained his parent’s faith, or any faith at all. He never confirms a personal relationship with Jesus.
Kendi moves readers through various forms of racism. Some forms we are familiar with: ethnic racism, behavioral racism, class racism. Others forms, a little less familiar: terms like body racism and space racism.
‘Not Racist’ Isn’t an Option
Kendi’s foundational premise is that all people and systems are either racist or antiracist — there is no in-between — there isn’t an option of being “not racist.” “There is no neutrality in the racism struggle. The opposite of “racist” isn’t ‘not racist.’ It is antiracist.” (pg.9) Unlike other antiracism proponents, who argue that, due to lack of institutional power, African Americans cannot be racist, Kendi believes that all people can be racist. “The truth is: Black people can be racist because Black people have power, even if limited.” (p.141) Only through being antiracist can the injustices of racism, in all forms, be identified and dismantled — this work must be accomplished by all people.
While dismantling racism and confronting injustice are praiseworthy goals, we must clearly and biblically define what these terms mean. Kendi’s definitions of racism, antiracism, injustice, and equity are flawed, at best. A racist is defined as “one who is supporting a racist policy through their actions or inaction or expressing a racist idea.” (p.13) Racist policies are those that “produce and sustain racial inequity.” (p.20) Thus, antiracist policies will produce racial equity. This argument is unfounded and problematic.
For example, consider the NBA where there is an overwhelming racial inequity, approximately 74.2% of NBA players are African American, approximately 16.9% Caucasian. You can see those statistics here. Is this racial inequity the product of racist policies and systems that all people should seek to overturn? Without further data, there is no proof that the racial inequity within the NBA is due to racist policies. Similarly, data is lacking from Kendi’s assertions of all inequities being the result of racist policies.
Race and Sexuality
Borrowing from the views of intersectionality, our interconnected social categories (i.e., race, gender, socio-economic status), Kendi extends the idea of racism beyond the bounds of skin color and moves into areas of gender and sexual identity. If we follow Kendi’s definition of racism through to his views on gender and sexuality, we not only see an argument that is unsettling; it is unbiblical. He writes, “To be truly antiracist is to be feminist. To truly be feminist is to be antiracist.” (p.188) Later we read, “Queer antiracism is equating all the race-sexualities, striving to eliminate the inequities between the race-sexualities.” (p.196)
These are significant statements and should be considered in light of scripture and the historic Christian worldview. Kendi’s racism argument is like a quick bait and switch; we enter the conversation standing against ethnic racism and end standing up for homosexuality and transgenderism. As Christians, it is important for us to consider how we love our neighbor who may identify as LGBTQIA and simultaneously understand that we support the laws of God first. If we do not have clearly defined terms, we may find ourselves advocating for the very things that God would have us stand against.
In a culture where refusing to “say a name,” raise a fist, or take a knee are the unpardonable sins, it is logical to believe being antiracist is the best way to avoid the disdain of being labeled a racist. When the evidence of “cancel culture” is the loss of family, jobs, and community, being antiracist not only feels right, it feels safe. We live in a media age where we have instant access to images of injustice and racism, for many our hearts become burdened, with good reason, and we long to see wrongs made right. We desire justice. But is justice accomplished through antiracism? I say no. Moreover such a question hinges on how one defines justice. As noted earlier, Kendi’s antiracism wrongly conflates how to think about justice if we are considering justice through a biblical lens.
A Theology of Works
Justice is accomplished through personal righteousness. Throughout How to Be an Antiracist we see a theme of works. The theology of antiracism is a theology of works. If anyone truly wants to be an antiracist they must do “the work,” those things listed as part of antiracist behavior. This is primarily seen as activism that produces social responsibility and equity. But my question is: By what standard is Kendi compelling readers to do these things? It’s certainly not the standard of Scripture which is the moral standard I am compelled to obey.
Further, what are the tangible, time specific results that will be gained when the work is done. How will we know that our antiracism is working? Is it only when every group throughout all places in all times have equitable results across ethnic, gender, sexual, socio-economic and spatial lines? Until every hierarchy is leveled? Must antiracism efforts be employed when the scales favor minorities? Kendi doesn’t address these questions.
Reasons for disparities are multivariate, some of which have nothing to do with intersectional location and simply come down to what you have earned or not earned through either hard work or laziness
Antiracism is a framework that calls for actions with a goal of utopia. This is unrealistic and will only produce striving and stress. What’s worse is that by God’s standard, a completely equitable framework would actually be dishonoring to God. Reasons for disparities are multivariate, some of which have nothing to do with intersectional location and simply come down to what you have earned or not earned through either hard work or laziness (Prov 12:27, 13:4, 15:19, 20:4; Matt 25:14-30, 2 Thes 3:10). The point is: God is pro disparity in certain cases and situations. Kendi’s vision for society is at direct odds with God’s vision for society. The Bible offers a better view and pathway for racial unity and justice.
Biblical Justice
As Christians, we are justified by the free grace afforded to us through Christ Jesus. Living in this truth does not absolve us of our responsibility to love our neighbor. In Matthew 22:36-39, Jesus offers the Pharisees a law from the book of Leviticus, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” In the Law, God laid out very clear definitions and instructions for what justice is and how the Jews were to do justice actions with one another. Justice was a part of how devoted Jews, informed by the Law, treated one another from a heart bent toward righteous living. Personal righteousness compelled hearts to acts of justice. We see personal righteousness result in acts of justice in the stories of Zacchaeus in the New Testament, and Boaz in the Old Testament. Let’s start with Zacchaeus.
Zacchaeus was a crooked tax collector who stole money from his patrons. Yet, after an encounter with Jesus, he paid back those he had directly robbed. Not because he was now anti-tax or pro reparations but because he understood the Old Testament laws of restitution (Ex. 22) and wanted to live righteously. We see the immediate result of his personal righteousness impacting those who had been defrauded but were now being repaid. Zacchaeus had a heart changed by the presence of Jesus, and that spurred him to personal righteousness — an act of justice impacting those he directly harmed.
Justice for those directly impacted by our misdoings is one form of justice. But when we look back into the Old Testament, where these laws originated, we see that being aware of potential injustice is also a part of our personal righteousness. I call this exegeting our community — interpreting and understanding what is happening within our communities.
In the story of Ruth, Boaz was a man aware of what was happening within his community and he protected someone who was vulnerable — a poor, widowed woman. Boaz gave strict instructions to the men on his property not to touch Ruth. “I have told the men not to lay a hand on you.” (Ruth 2:9b). Boaz asked questions, he understood what was happening within his community, and the potential of what could happen. Understanding the Scriptures, the commands of God’s law (Deut. 10:18, Deut. 27:19), he acted justly from a place of personal righteousness. We, too, must be aware of issues of injustice taking place around us — not just to some people, but to all people.
Justice isn’t just for some, those of a certain ethnic or socio-economic make-up. Kendi makes acts of justice discriminate towards minoritized groups — ethnically, socio-economically, sexually, etc. God’s commands for justice are not defined by intersectionality nor do they extend only to the poor, the minority, or those identifying as LGBTQ+. The weights and measures of justice are indiscriminate. Likewise our love for neighbor must not be measured on the scales of an intersectional viewpoint.
Secular ideologies were insufficient in bringing about societal change along the issue of race. True justice is birthed out of a heart transformed by Jesus.
When we are aware of what’s happening around us, our acts of personal righteousness have the potential to change individuals, communities, and policies. If there are known racists within our churches, when we are led by personal righteousness we confront these heart attitudes and bring them to leadership. If businesses within your community are known for treating people unjustly or showing favoritism, based on skin color, you should not support those establishments. If judges show favoritism in sentencing or policymakers create laws that unjustly impact the poor, Christians should use their voice and their vote to bring about more just laws and systems. The call to love your neighbor as yourself should compel each of us to use our vote, our voice and our resources in ways that bring about biblically just treatment of all image bearers.
Justice Begins in the Heart
In closing, if we truly want justice we must start with hearts impacted by the gospel. Someone may protest: “that has not been sufficient enough in the past; look at the complicity of the historical church in racism.” To that I would offer readers these three reminders: first, many who claim to be Christian are, in fact, not Christians as demonstrated by their lack of biblical love for people and others who identify with Christ (Matt 7:21-23, 1 John 4:20). Second, many of the abolitionists in the UK and the U.S. were distinctly motivated by their faith in Christ.
Lastly, I would remind readers that civil rights legislation in the U.S. was ultimately brought about by enormous pressure from the Black church and those who identify as Christians. Secular ideologies were insufficient in bringing about societal change along the issue of race. True justice is birthed out of a heart transformed by Jesus. Justice is not solely the responsibility of the rich or those who sit on the top of a societal hierarchy. Justice is the responsibility of everyone as we all walk in personal righteousness.
The opposite of racism isn’t antiracism. The opposite of racism is righteousness.

The Subrogation Strategist
Colorado’s Court of Appeals Considers How the Statute of Repose Applies in Multi-Contractor Construction Cases
This entry was posted by Gus Sara on December 28, 2016 .
In Sierra Pacific Industries v. Bradbury, 2016 Colo. App. Lexis 1274, 2016 COA 132 (September 8, 2016), Sierra Pacific Industries, Inc. (Sierra Pacific), a subcontractor hired to supply windows and doors on a condominium construction project, filed an indemnification action against Jason Bradbury, d/b/a Bradbury Construction, Inc. (Bradbury), a sub-subcontractor Sierra Pacific hired to install windows and doors. After the trial court granted summary judgment in Bradbury’s favor, the Court of Appeals of Colorado addressed whether Colorado’s six-year statute of repose for construction defect claims, C.R.S. § 13-8-104, barred Sierra Pacific’s claims against Bradbury. In particular, the court addressed the question of whether the tolling period for indemnification claims set forth in § 13-8-104(b)(1) tolls the repose period. The court also addressed how the phrase “substantial completion” should be interpreted in multi-contractor construction cases. Finally, the court considered whether Sierra Pacific could rely on the “repair doctrine” to extend the “substantial completion” date, the date on which the statute of repose begins to run. Sierra Pacific reminds us that, when a defendant invokes a construction defect statute of repose to defeat a plaintiff’s claims, it is important to analyze how the jurisdiction at issue defines the phrase “substantial completion” and how it applies tolling arguments to the statute of repose.
The underlying cause of action giving rise to Sierra Pacific’s claims against Bradbury involved alleged defects in the construction of a condominium building. The construction was completed in 2002. In 2004, the condominium’s residents complained about water infiltration from the windows and doors. Bradbury made repair efforts in 2004 but none thereafter. The general contractor, Weitz Company I, Inc. (Weitz) and Sierra Pacific attempted repairs in 2004, 2005 and 2011. In 2011, the condominium association, Ajax Lofts Condominium Association, Inc. (Ajax) sued Weitz for the defects and Weitz joined Sierra Pacific as a third-party defendant. Ajax, Sierra Pacific and Weitz reached a settlement in July 2014.
In October 2014, Sierra Pacific filed an indemnification action against Bradbury seeking to recover its losses from the underlying settlement and related damages. Bradbury filed a motion for summary judgment on the grounds that the action was barred by the six-year statute of repose for improvements to real property set forth in Colorado’s Construction Defect Action Reform Act (CDARA). The lower court granted Bradbury’s motion, finding that the statute of repose began to run when Bradbury substantially completed its work in 2004, when Bradbury stopped making repair efforts. Sierra Pacific filed an appeal, arguing that its claims against Bradbury did not “arise” until after it settled the underlying case in 2014 and that, after that time, it had ninety days in which to file its complaint. Sierra Pacific also argued that, even if the settlement did not toll the statute of limitations, the repose period did not start to run until 2011, when efforts to repair Bradbury’s defective work stopped and Bradbury’s work was substantially complete.
Section 13-80-104 contains both a two-year statute of limitations and a six-year statute of repose. The statute of repose expires six years “after the substantial completion of the improvement to the real property.” Under the statute, the repose period is extended two years if the cause of action arose during the fifth or sixth year after substantial completion.
Section 13-80-104(1)(b) states that indemnification claims can be filed within ninety days after the claim arises. Sierra Pacific argued that, based on § 13-80-104(1)(b), it had ninety days after it settled the underlying claim in 2014 to file its action and, thus, its action was timely-filed. The court rejected this argument, finding that, consistent with prior case law, the settlement tolling provision in § 13-18-104(1)(b) tolled the statute of limitations, but not the statute of repose.
Sierra Pacific also argued that the lower court erred when it granted summary judgment because genuine issues of fact remained on the question of when the statute of repose expired. According to Sierra Pacific, the “repair doctrine” applied and, thus, its work was not substantially complete until 2011, when Weitz’s and Sierra Pacific’s attempts to fix Bradbury’s work ended.
The court began its analysis by interpreting the phrase “substantial completion” in the CDARA and considering whether the “repair doctrine” impacts when an improvement is “substantially complete,” and, thus, the repose period begins to run. Discussing the statutory tolling period allowed by the CDARA for repairs, the court noted that the purpose of the statute of repose is to prevent defendants from being subjected to “potentially open-ended liability for an indefinite period of time” and explained that Sierra Pacific’s interpretation of the repair doctrine – applying the doctrine based on a different contractor’s attempted repairs – would subject every contractor on a project to open-ended liability for as long as any other contractor performed work on the project. Thus, the court found that Sierra Pacific’s interpretation would be contrary to the intent of the CDARA and held that the statute of repose begins to run with respect to a contractor when that contractor completes its work. As such, the repair doctrine only applies when the defendant, itself, attempts repairs. Since Bradbury abandoned its repair efforts in 2004, the statute of repose began to run then and expired by the time Sierra Pacific filed this indemnification action in 2014. Thus, the Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court’s order granting Bradbury’s motion for summary judgment.
The Sierra Pacific case establishes that, in Colorado, the repose period can be different for each contractor on a single construction project and that the period with respect to one contractor is not tolled by additional work by other contractors. It is important to consider the possibility of various repose periods when evaluating a construction defect subrogation case, as the time remaining to bring a lawsuit may vary for each contractor. This case also reminds us that, in Colorado, underlying settlement agreements giving rise to indemnification claims do not impact repose periods in Colorado.
Editor’s Note: On February 27, 2017, the Supreme Court of Colorado issued a decision in Goodman v. Heritage Builders, Inc., 390 P.3d 398 (2017). In Goodman, the court discussed how to apply the statute of repose to an indemnification claim. The court overruled Sierra Pacific to the extent that it held that “claims brought outside the statute of repose timeframe, but brought within the timeframe outlined in [§] 13-80-104(1)(b)(II) are barred.” Pursuant to Goodman, third-party claims for contribution or indemnification are timely, irrespective of both the two-year statute of limitations in C.R.S. § 13-80-102 and the six-year statute of repose in § 13-80-104(1)(a), so long as they are brought any time before the ninety-day timeframe outlined in section 13-80-104(1)(b)(II). Please read our article, Applying the Statute of Repose for Construction Claims, Colorado’s Supreme Court Finds Third-Party Claims Timely-Filed, for a more detailed discussion of the Goodman decision.

2 U.S. 193 (Dall.)
Knox et al.
Jones*
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
September Term, 1792
This was an action on the case for goods sold and delivered; and the only question agitated upon the trial, was whether the plaintiff was entitled to recover interest? It was proved, that at the time of the sale, the defendant was informed, that it was the course of the trade to give six months credit; or, if cash was paid, to discount five per cent; but that punctuality, and not interest, was the object of the plaintiffs.
By the Court: The established course of the plaintiffs' trade is proved; and, also, the knowledge of the defendant.
Page 2 U.S. 193, 194
It appears, therefore, to be a part of their contract, that interest should commence, at the expiration of the six months credit.
Verdict accordingly.

USMC Birthday
Home/Community/USMC Birthday
November 10, Marines across the globe will recognize and acknowledge 247 years of service to their country, the sacrifices made to defend democracy, and the Marine Corps’ enduring legacy as America’s premier fighting force.
The Marine Corps’ annual tradition celebrates the establishment of the organization on November 10, 1775, by the Second Continental Congress. Following their role in the American Revolution, the Marines were abolished following the Treaty of Paris in April 1783. Then, on July 11, 1798, Congress ordered the creation of the Marine Corps and directed that it be available for service under the Secretary of the Navy.
The birthday, also known as Marine Corps Day, was originally celebrated on July 11 from 1799 until 1921 when Major General Lejeune issued an order to formalize the tradition and establish the official day to honor the birthday of the Marine Corps.
The Battle of Iwo Jima (19 February – 26 March 1945) was a major battle in which the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and United States Navy (USN) landed on and eventually captured the island of Iwo Jima from the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) during World War II. The American invasion, designated Operation Detachment, had the purpose of capturing the island with its two airfields: South Field and Central Field.

The fitness diaries: Jared Johnson
Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) graduate student Jared Johnson gets a lot of activity on the volleyball court, but his routine doesn’t stop there. He’s been fit his entire life and enjoys changing his routine and trying new things to keep it fun and interesting.
Jared Johnson uses volleyball as one way to stay fit
Growing up, Jared was always active. In high school he played basketball, golf, tennis and track and field After high school, he added new activities to his list, such as lifting, yoga, step classes, bouldering and hiking. He still has activities he’s dying to try, such as surfing, because he thinks it looks fun and would be a great full body workout.
These days, Jared mostly plays sand and indoor volleyball to stay fit. He’s an officer for the OSU men’s volleyball club and has served as secretary for the past two years. He plays the libero position, the back-row defensive player who wears a different colored jersey. This year, the Pacific Intercollegiate Volleyball Association named him Most Outstanding Player.
Jared and his teammates celebrate after a victorious game
Equally important as his game are his warm up and dynamic stretching routines, which helps him break a sweat and get his muscles firing.
“I place an emphasis on certain muscle groups that I want to target for that day,” he says. “I also do something that involves my full body every day, whether it’s burpees, planks or light mini circuits to help with sore muscles from previous workouts. I don’t normally lift on days I have practice because I use practice as active recovery days to let my body heal.”
Injuries have challenged Jared’s game in the past, and he relied on physical therapy to get back on the court. He also places school as his top priority, making it challenging at times to fit it all in. He says that in the end, physical activity has played a crucial role to his success as a graduate student. He’s managed to sustain a 4.0 and make the dean’s even during the terms he had 19 and 20 hours.
Jared’s personal fitness philosophy involves getting his heart rate up each day through some type of physical activity.
“I don’t go to the gym or lift weights every day,” he says. “I have learned throughout my time here at OSU that physical activity in general is important. Whether I decide to go to the gym or not, my goal is to get my heart rate up and sweat through some type of activity. This could be jogging, running the stairs, yoga, core workouts or walking.”
Jared recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Sports Science. Obtaining his master’s degree in PETE is a natural fit.
“Being active is in my blood, and I feel better afterwards,” he says. “It’s also a social thing for me. Having set times to hang out with your friends is amazing. I’m also more organized and have gotten better at time management and homework when I set aside time to be active.”
His advice for others includes making activity enjoyable. “You don’t have to lift weights to be fit,” he says. “Fitness should be fun. It’s a time for you to clear your head of the stresses so do something you enjoy and find your fitness niche. I love mixing up my workouts and trying new things.”
Jared says that doing activities he enjoys, having friends that keep him accountable and not fearing failure are important elements to staying physically fit. He also enjoys the occasional chocolate chip cookie or cookie dough from time to time.

QSL-ing via the Bureau and more
10 July 2020 Technical & Featured Articles by Michael Chatzimichalakis - SV1MO
There may be many ways to confirm a QSO with another station (LoTW, E-qsl, etc.), but the top way, in my opinion, is the QSL card and especially the one we will receive for free “via bureau”. When we once get our hands on the QSL card of the DX station, in addition to the contact details, we feel we have in our hands the personality of the station operator, with whom we had some time ago (or sometimes years), at least a short QSO.
Nowadays the quality of the QSL card varies. Some times it is a super-luxury two-page card, printed on expensive laminated paper and contains a lot of information. Other times, it is just a black and white photocopy on paper, the back of which has been used for another purpose. (magazine, wrapping paper, etc.).
The themes on the front of the cards vary. Most cards depict a the city, region or typical landscape where the station is located. Many QSL cards have the image of the operator sitting proudly, where else, but in their shack.
Simple “legacy” style QSL card
Size & Dimensions
One thing to keep in mind when ordering your QSL cards, especially from a printing press, is size. The correct size is 9×14 cm. The paper should not weigh more than 300 grams / m2. If we turn to specific companies that specialise in printing QSL cards they will produce for us the correct product (in dimensions, weight of paper, necessary information) and, usually, at a very good price.
The dimensions must be 14x9cm
Sorting for delivery via Bureau
When we send our cards by mail or deliver them to the QSL BUREAU, it is good to group them by country. The recipient will have to sort them by country to send them. So if they are not classified by radio-country one should do so. Let’s not forget that the management and classification of incoming and outgoing cards in each bureau is carried out, by our colleagues, voluntarily.
There may be many ways to confirm a QSO with another station (LoTW, E-qsl, etc.), but the top way, in my opinion, is the QSL card and especially the one we will receive for free “via bureau”.
That is why we must all help to speed up the process. For example, when a 10 kg box with QSL cards comes from Japan, for example, a colleague at the bureau will have to spend 8-10 hours to sort them and place them in the respective members’ drawers. And of course voluntarily! One should know that the cards that go to the QSL bureau which have a final destination abroad and that are not initially sorted by the sender, are gathered in boxes and are sorted when there is free time by QSL bureau volunteers. So, in this case, they are significantly delayed and nobody wants that.
But how should we sort them?
A simple rubber band to hold and separate the cards destined for the same country is enough. For example, your cards with prefix EA-EA6-EA8-EA9-EG-EH-AM etc. will be sent to the same QSL bureau, in Spain.
They may be different radio countries (Spain, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, etc.) but all these radio countries belong to Spain and are served by the Spanish QSL Bureau.
The SZ1A QSL Card
There is an exception for the US, where there are 11 Bureaus, W1, W2, W3, W4, and WA4, W5, W6, W7, W8, W9, W0 (and of course the other prefixes starting with A-K-N). So we have to separate our cards accordingly.
QSL Manager
Some stations have a QSL Manager: someone who manages their cards. When we send our card to the QSL manager of the DX station, it is understandable that we will place this card in the package of the country of the QSL manager and not in the country of the DX station. Usually, DX stations belonging to countries with a small radio amateur population have a QSL manager in Europe or America.
What else should we look out for?
Before completing our card with the DX station, it is advisable to investigate whether the specific radio-country (or entity) [1] has a QSL bureau. You will find this information on the IARU website
The VS6DX QSL card is a whole 32-page book! In the photo of the 1st page, 3rd from the left, is our very own, Cliff SV1JG
In order not to waste our cards unnecessarily, let’s first check if the station to which we are addressing, sends a card without receiving ours. Most stations refer to this on their page on qrz.com or other similar sites. If we see the “QSL via OQRS” (Online Qsl Request Service) suggestion, we can request our card for that particular QSO electronically. To do this we usually have to either go to the DX-pedition site or the station’s log (usually to clublog.org or the station’s QRZ page and other sites). This makes it easier for the sending qsl bureau but most importantly we will have the card from the station that interests us much sooner (at least a year earlier).
There are also some excellent QSL managers [2] who have their own flawless OQRS system and are not “dollar hunters”. It’s a good idea to find out if the DX station whose card we want is working with one of them.
The QSL card from the Heard Island DXpedition in 2016
Also before we send our card via QSL bureau to DX station, we should check if they accept cards via bureau, or only direct, or if they “upload” their QSOs to LoTW or send confirmation via e-QSL .cc or qrz.com or qrzcq .com etc. It is a pity to fill out a card, send it via the bureau, get it to the recipient’s country and there it will either be thrown away (some countries throw it away) or returned (some few countries return it). So after several months or years, it ends up back in our drawer again. Of course, the much-wanted DX station card will never come, and we can’t use it for an award.
Direct cards
Unfortunately, nowadays, those who do not send cards through the bureau have increased. How do we get their card? Most of those who answer only direct will not send us their card, unless there are $2 or $3 USD in the envelope (called green stamps, in amateur slang, for obvious reasons) that we sent them. You see the dollar is the international currency that has a paper note of such low value ($1). If there was only one Euro on paper, the situation would be better for all of us because we would not be looking for one dollar notes [3]. I have found that a specific “professional” DX-peditioner asks for $3 to send a card, or $1 to upload the contact to LoTW. Sometimes the price varies depending on the number of QSOs that will be confirmed.
“Green Stamps”
I recently discovered a new trick that many of them use: they use another call sign for QSOs on FT8 and another for QSOs on SSB and CW. (The QSL card is still only one with two callsigns printed on it, but you pay double, pure madness).
Usually, in the instructions published by the operator or the QSL manager of the dx station, we will see some acronyms such as: S.A.S.E. or S.A.E.
IRC: international reply coupon
The first is one of the acronyms above is for the Self Addressed Stamped Envelope and is addressed mainly to compatriots where, with their card, a return envelope that will have their postal address and will be already stamped, is included so that the return card can be mailed to them. We will see this happen mainly among American colleagues. For the rest of us, the second acronym is mostly used, which is the the Self Addressed Envelope.
In this case, the dx station requests, in addition to our card and the “green stamps”, to include an additional envelope with our mailing address printed, so that with the dollars we’ve included they can buy the appropriate stamps and use the additional envelope to mail us their card.
Once upon a time, when there was currency control and “green stamps” were hard to find, there was the use of the IRC (International Reply Coupon), a coupon that the dx station would use to exchange with a stamp at their post office, but nowadays it is not accepted most of the time.
Special Callsigns
There are colleagues who, wanting to celebrate a special event, undertake the process to be legally issued and use a special callsign that does not have the usual structure of, for example, Greek callsigns of the type SV + number + three letters. For example, the colleague SV9XXX goes on the air with the special call J49ABC. Announces to qrz.com and other similar sites that for J49ABC qsl via SV9XXX. So far so good. However, the bureau administrator must also be informed that the manager for J49ABC is SV9XXX! In other words, in Greece for example, R.A.A.G must be informed by the Special Event Station, in writing and the corresponding fees paid for the opening of a QSL drawer box and the management of the special callsign. So, the body that grants the special permit for the special call callsign (Ministry) and the body in charge of the bureau that distributes cards for that callsign (RAAG in this case) are two entirely sperate and independent organizations.
The celebratory card for the 25th Anniversary of SZ1A with Special Callsign SX25
Another unfortunate example is that from, time to time, the Greek QSL bureau may receive cards from abroad that concern special callsigns that “went on the air” years ago and cannot be delivered because the date for which they received the permission to use the QSL bureau has passed and so it is now an unknown callsign. So it is best practice that any colleagues who want to receive cards from QSOs with special callsigns, to make sure that the relevant information is valid, ie., by calling the Secretariat of the R.A.A.G in this example. When I was managing the bureau of RAAG I had recorded more than 600 such cases while only about 40 callsigns were current!
A station that is not a member, with a Manager who is a member of the QSL bureau.
There is another case where someone may not receive their cards. Let’s look at an example to better understand this. The colleague SV1YYY is a member of the bureau, so his cards are placed in his drawer box. He has an acquaintance (let’s say SV1ZZZ), who is NOT a member of the bureau. However, he has posted on his qrz.com page the usual: SV1ZZZ via SV1YYY (non-member via member). In this case, the Greek bureau does not distribute cards to non-members (article C.16.4.1 of the RAAG’s Constitution), even if the QSL manager IS a member. However, there is a provision for a colleague that does not want to be a member of R.A.A.G, but wants to move their cards through the Greek QSL bureau, to enter a special class of non-members that allows them to send and receive an unlimited number of QSL cards per year. With a phone call to the Secretariat of RAAG, the interested party will find out the procedures and the corresponding costs.
I believe that it’s only normal and is true universally that anyone who receives services from an organization must also pay for them. RAAG also pays for the postal services, the cost of which burden it’s members, distributing them equally so that the costs are covered without expecting financial benefits from the circulation of the cards.
a “rare” QSL card from Macquarie Island
I hope this article has helped you to reduce your expenses on cards that are wasted, but most importantly to increase the number of cards you receive over time. On the other hand, by following the above suggestions, our colleagues in the bureaus will generally find it easier to move your cards, and this helps to increase the reliability of card movement via bureau at large.
If you’d like more information or further clarification on any of the above please feel free to contact me.

[1] e.g. SV1XX, or SV2ZZ is the country of Greece while SV9XZX or SV5ZXZ are radio amateur “entities” that belong to Greece but are separate radio-countries, the first is CRETE and the second is DODECANESE (according to IARU). Why this happens is beyond the scope of this article.
[2] I have personally met M0OXO and M0URX at the German hamfest, both have great sites from which we can request the QSL card we are interested in from the list of stations that they serve. They are punctual and respond immediately to either via bureau or direct shipments.
[3] One-dollar bills are hard to find in our banks. Almost all QSL managers in Europe announce on qrz.com or on their own sites that they sell dollars, after they have been paid the agreed amount via PayPal. Then they send you the banknotes by mail. If the envelope is lost on the way, the expenses are considered your liability. The hobby can become as expensive as you want.

Managing the Unpredictable – how TA Europe supports Swiss Life with Agile Project Management for BLOOM
Munich, 28 July 2022 – In construction projects, some investors are well aware that a lot of unpredictable things can happen– and yet, the investors are the ones who need to make sure their project becomes a success. This means that their individual goals are met – e.g. that the building project is completed with the desired quality, within the given timeframe and without exceeding the planned budget. For Munich’s office building “BLOOM”, our client Swiss Life renewed the contract with TA Europe as a project manager – to manage the expansion of the outdoor facilities, the underground car park refurbishment and the tenant-fit out of a new entrance, which now also operates a barista bar. TA Europe was also responsible for the management of the refurbishment of the lifts and the fire protection measures continue the monitoring of the life cycle measures.
“Project management, from my point of view, shouldn’t just be about defining and tracking deadlines, costs and qualities”, says Fotis Dimitroulas, Partner at TA Europe, who has been involved in the BLOOM project right from the start, “these parameters have to be in line with the client’s objective. A good project manager needs to understand what the client wants to achieve and act flexibly with these goals in mind rather than sticking to narrowly defined service packages.”
Classic project management, which has been offered for decades in Germany by external service providers with a standardised service profile, is indeed often unable to guarantee the achievement of the investor’s objectives. “Far too often, individual projects with specific requirements in special environments are not properly assessed”, says Wolfgang Schlicht, TA Europe’s CEO, “Instead, a standard service profile like ‘project management according to HOAI’ is imposed on them and then entrusted to the lowest bidder.” The result – a great number of construction projects are completed far too costly, much too late or simply different than desired: The parties involved become stressed and dissatisfied.
“With BLOOM, right from the start, we were committed to building a premium office for different tenants with specific needs – and that meant we needed a project manager who would bring with her the empathy to put herself in our place – and understand things from our perspective”, says Daniel Ziegler, Senior Manager at Swiss Life Asset Management GmbH. TA Europe was commissioned with the complete project management of various projects for BLOOM five years ago. Back then, the office park still belonged to BlackRock. TA Europe carried out the technical due diligence and was taken over by the new owner in the course of the sales process and the contractual obligations. A good working relationship was quickly established, which is why Swiss Life Asset Managers continued to engage TA Europe subsequently for agile project and cost management.
A place to relax – TA Europe managed the tenant fit-out of the newly created barista bar at BLOOM.
“A construction project is alive”, adds Daniel Ziegler, “there are always things that you cannot prepare for, even with the best team and the best intentions. When we were planning the outdoor facilities, it turned out, as we opened the street, that the street was laid out differently than expected, which meant we had to put in far more time than we had thought in the first place”, he explains. “It is a relief, then, to work with a project manager who can quickly help you readjust. What is more, the project managers we cooperate with from TA Europe work hand in hand, they coordinate smoothly and even manage to keep all service providers motivated.”
To Daniel Ziegler, empathy is not just a buzzword, but a crucial ingredient in working with so many different parties and managing unforeseen events – it is a skill often underestimated in the building industry. “Being tech-savvy is the foundation, for sure, but it helps so much if I know I have an empathetic single point of contact who will ensure the other service providers that their invoices are paid, who explains potential delays and simply reduces my mental load.”
“When I work with a client, I try to minimise risks as much as I possibly can”, says Anika Steiner, who has been managing various projects for BLOOM for more than three years now. “But if something happens we could not have planned for, I try to come up with solutions to take the burden off the client’s shoulders.”
Not everything is predictable: TA Europe was also responsible for managing the expansion of the outdoor facilities.
At BLOOM, an extensive concrete renovation of the underground car park had to be carried out. The underground car park comprises 334 parking spaces, extending over three levels. In particular, damage to the existing reinforced concrete due to chloride- and carbonation-induced corrosion had to be eliminated.
“The corrosion damage had to be removed by means of ultra-high pressure water jets – anyone who has ever experienced this knows how extremely loud it can be”, explains Anika Steiner. “So we came up with a plan how to minimise the impact on tenants – as all renovation measures had to be carried out while the building was already in operation and the tenants were all there. We solved this by introducing strict rest periods during which no loud work was carried out, and partly switched to manual caulking in column and wall areas..”
“Being open and transparent while communicating is also extremely important”, stresses Daniel Ziegler. “It is never pleasant for tenants when there have to be construction works – but the TA Europe team made sure the tenants were informed by the property manager in advance and knew what to expect.”
The same applied for the customised barista bar, which was implemented in the entrance area of the building. The café bar was finished a few months ago and not only adds value to the office building itself – it also provides a protected area where tenants can come together in a rather informal atmosphere, have a great coffee and enjoy how beautiful their surroundings have become.
“Witnessing the progress at the construction site and then seeing how nice it all turns out in the end and getting feedback from a satisfied client is a great reward – and keeps my motivation going”, says Anika Steiner, who is looking forward to managing even more projects in an agile way.

Democracy & Media: The BBC World Service
By Roman Bharati
As we celebrate World Languages Week, it is important to discuss the significance of the centenary of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) which was recognized this past October. The corporation has a well-known reputation for providing accurate, reliable, and impartial news and information to the people of the United Kingdom and around the world. However, what many may not know is that the BBC has also been a pioneer in promoting news and information in different languages. The BBC first started international broadcasting in the 1930s with the launch of the Empire Service, later renamed the Overseas Service and then the World Service. The Empire Service was initially intended to provide news and information to the British Empire and Commonwealth countries, but soon expanded to other countries as well.
Now, needless to say, these broadcasts were diffused in a very different world. In 1938, the service started broadcasting in Arabic as part of its efforts to counter Nazi propaganda in the Middle East and North Africa before and during World War II. During this time, General Charles de Gaulle, leader of the Free French forces, used the BBC to broadcast messages of resistance and encouragement to the French people. De Gaulle’s speeches were broadcasted via the BBC’s French language service, which was set up specifically to reach occupied France. But, as critical thinkers (which I know you all are!), you might be thinking that the BBC was also used to promote British national interests, yet, much evidence points away from this conclusion.
During WW2, Winston Churchill was in fact furious about the coverage of the conflict – the BBC sought to broadcast only verified information, even if negative. In 1982, Margaret Thatcher hated the BBC’s treatment of the Falklands War. According to Robert Seatter, head of BBC History, Thatcher always wanted them to say “our boys” instead of “British troops” but this never happened. Even more recently, in 2003, the BBC was involved in a tense scandal concerning Tony Blair, then prime minister of the UK, and Britain’s involvement in the War in Iraq. My point is simple; the BBC has been consistently committed to promulgating universal democratic values, which in turn, has made the organization’s reputation very trusted.
The BBC’s commitment to multiculturalism serves as a shining example of how the power of language can bring people together and make the world a better place. It highlights the importance of providing a voice for all communities and the role media plays in shaping our perceptions of the world around us. Seeking out these diverse views renders us more perspicacious and is crucial in creating a more inclusive and interconnected society.
There is a lesson to find in this story – perhaps it is that belief in universal democratic values, essentially, our belief in liberal democracy, can serve as a unifying factor – one that transcends the cultural, societal, and even geographic borders we may face. Claire Enders, founder of one of the leading British independent research companies, while discussing the centenary of the BBC, pointed out a rather jarring fact – at least to me. She stated that approximately 75% of people around the world do not have access to what we see as the free press. Often our access to such information can be taken for granted. So, as you embark on your journey as global citizens, remember the power of language and try to use it for good.

Simon exits as Barnett takes on BBC America
BBC America’s 49.9% stakeholder, AMC Networks, has appointed SundanceTV executive Sarah Barnett as president and general manager of BBC America.
Barnett, who has been at AMC-owned SundanceTV for ten years and is the network’s president and general manager, will replace BBC America’s current general manager, Perry Simon.
She is due to begin her new role in early 2015, overseeing both BBC America and Sundance TV for an interim period until a successor at SundanceTV is named.
With the move, Simon will take up an exclusive production deal with BBC Worldwide North America. Development commitments are already in place from BBC America and AMC Networks.
“I’m delighted Sarah is to lead BBC America as the new general manager within the joint venture. She has a fantastic track record in the kind of intelligent, creative content that is BBC America’s hallmark. And as a highly respected, collaborative team leader I have every confidence she will deliver success for both joint venture partners,” said BBC Worldwide CEO, Tim Davie.
Barnett will be based in New York and will lead BBC America’s day-to-day operations, including overall creative and brand strategy, production and development, digital strategy and marketing. She will continue to report to AMC Networks’ chief operating officer Ed Carroll.
Barnett joined SundanceTV in 2005 as senior vice president of marketing, becoming head of SundanceTV in 2009 and a year later launched the network’s scripted strategy. Previously she was vice president of on-air for BBC America for four years, after spending 12 years with the BBC in London.
The BBC Trust last month approved the partnership between BBC Worldwide and AMC Networks that saw the latter take a 49.9% stake in BBC America.

7 Years Later and….
Well it’s been seven years since Teagan was murdered by Lisa Batstone and the trial is still not settled. The appeal was heard last spring and still we wait. It’s hard to imagine that the system never allows families to settle…the trauma is constant and by the time the case is settled…then the killers sentenceContinue reading “7 Years Later and….”

There are so many sad stories that you can’t get through a week without multiple jaw-dropping moments where children are being abused.

Kids, they are blissful, imaginative, carefree, charismatic and intelligent. All of these things – whether we like it or not – seem to fade a little as we grow up.

9th planet in our solar system? Super Earth could spell trouble for us
What if there was another Earth in our solar system? What impact would this 9th planet have? A recent study has revealed it all.

Best NASA Astronomy Pictures of the Week: Large Magellanic Cloud, Dimorphos Asteroid and more
1/4 Large Magellanic Cloud (March 7) - The picture shows the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is located about 180,000 light-years away towards the constellation Dorado. According to NASA, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) spans about 15000 light-years. LMC is also the site of the brightest and closest supernova observed in recent times. (NASA/Yuri Beletsky(TWAN))
2/4 Light Pollution (March 8) - The picture shows artificial brightness present in the night sky, which makes observing celestial objects such as stars, planets and others, increasingly difficult. Parts of the US and Western Europe have artificial night sky glow which is nearly 10 times the natural light in the night sky. (NASA/JPSS Satellites/David J. Lorenz)
3/4 Dimorphos Asteroid (March 9) - It is a thrilling picture of the Dimorphos asteroid, captured just 3 seconds before the collision. It was a $330 million venture which proved to be a success as the target asteroid named Dimorphos deflected off its path. While this asteroid in no way threatened Earth, this was an experiment to gain greater knowledge as to what happens when a craft crashes against a space rock. (NASA/Johns Hopkins APL/DART)
4/4 Orion and Running Man Nebulae (March 10) - stellar snapshot of the Orion Nebula and the Running Man Nebula. Also known as M42, the Orion Nebula is located about 1500 light-years away and spans about 40 light-years across. Another Nebula can be seen embedded in this region, known as the Running Man Nebula, which is the northmost part of the asterism known as Orion’s Sword. (NASA/Abraham Jones)

Humans have been searching for a planet similar to Earth for more than a century now. Organizations such as NASA, ISRO, CNSA, and ESA have been using their vast resources such as the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to explore potential planets that may be capable of supporting life in the future, in case the need to abandon Earth ever arises.
But what if there was a 9th planet located in our very own solar system? Not a dwarf planet like Pluto, but a “Super Earth” with size larger than Earth located between Mars and Jupiter – would it have any impact on our solar system? A recent study seems to have answered this hypothetical question.
Presence of a Super Earth
According to a study carried out at the University of California in Riverside, the presence of a Super Earth would wreak havoc on the solar system. The study involved simulating a Super Earth with varied masses, an exoplanet larger than Earth yet lighter than Neptune, between Mars and Jupiter to observe the impact it had on the orbits of other planets. Even a tiny change in Jupiter's orbit could have a cascading and devastating effect on all the other planets, according to the results of the study published in the Planetary Science Journal.
Stephen Kane, an astronomer at the University of California and the sole author of the study said in an article published in the UC Riverside News, “This fictional planet gives a nudge to Jupiter that is just enough to destabilize everything else. Despite many astronomers having wished for this extra planet, it's a good thing we don't have it.”
With a mass 318 times greater than Earth, Jupiter dwarfs all other planets in size. Therefore, its gravitational influence is immense and even the tiniest change could spell trouble for the rest of the planets.
Findings of the Study
The study found out that the presence of a Super Earth which influences Jupiter's gravitational impact could ultimately lead to the ejection of Mercury and Venus from our solar system while it could also destabilize the orbits of planets like Uranus and Neptune, pushing them out into space.
Kane further said, “Our solar system is more finely tuned than I appreciated before. It all works like intricate clock gears. Throw more gears into the mix and it all breaks.”
Earth, and ultimately humans, would suffer from the most devastating fate of all. The Super Earth could affect our Earth's orbit, which could lead to global extinction and Earth being not habitable at all.
The findings of this study could hint at the potential of life-sustaining conditions on planets within other solar systems.

Large Hole on the Sun EXPLODES! Powerful solar storms on Earth coming tomorrow
A large hole on the Sun, also known as a coronal hole, has exploded resulting in throwing coronal mass ejections towards the Earth. A powerful solar storm can take place tomorrow, September 4.
| Updated on: Sep 03 2022, 13:32 IST
WARNING! Solar Storm to hit Earth soon
1/5 According to Spaceweather.com’s report, the new sunspot is so huge that it is even changing the way the sun vibrates. The Space Weather Prediction Center, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicted that the geomagnetic field around Earth would be unsettled over the weekend which could disrupt the radio-magnetic sphere. (nasa.gov)
2/5 Spaceweather.com said, “A high speed stream of solar wind is approaching Earth. Estimated time of arrival: Aug. 9th. The gaseous material is flowing from an equatorial hole in the sun's atmosphere. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.” (SDO/NASA)
3/5 Solar storms occur due to a coronal mass ejection (CME) that is set off on the surface of the Sun. As per the K-index, which measures the magnetic field around the Earth, solar storms are divided into 5 classes from G-1 to G-5. The G-1 is the lowest impact solar G5 is given to the most severe solar storms. (Pixabay)
4/5 According to NASA, Sunspots are dark areas on the solar surface which contain strong magnetic fields that are constantly shifting and can form and dissipate over periods of days or weeks. They occur when strong magnetic fields emerge through the solar surface and allow the area to cool slightly. (Pixabay)
5/5 When solar flares hit Earth, they interact with the Earth’s electromagnetic field to cause a Geomagnetic storm. It may cause blackouts, GPS problems. However, if the solar storm is big enough, it can wreak havoc on all the earth's technological infrastructure. It is also the reason behind the stunning night-sky phenomenon that we know as Auroras or Northern Lights. (Pixabay)

Scientists have warned that a powerful solar storm will be striking the Earth on September 4. In the last few days, the geomagnetic disturbances were on the lower end with only a couple of minor solar storms hitting the planet. But that is about to change as a large, dark hole on the surface of the Sun has exploded. This structure is known as a coronal hole and has a distinct dark color to it, indicating a very strong magnetic field. This unstable hole has erupted and thrown coronal mass ejections (CME) towards the Earth. With these solar particles set to arrive tomorrow, a G2 level solar storm is being expected that can cause radio blackouts in some regions.
The event was reported by SpaceWeather.com which noted in its website, “NOAA forecasters say that G1 to G2-class geomagnetic storms are possible on Sept. 4th when a stream of solar wind is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field”. Explaining the source of this cataclysm, it added, “The gaseous material is flowing from a large hole in the sun's atmosphere. This is a "coronal hole," a place where the sun's magnetic field opens up and allows solar wind to escape from the sun's corona. It looks dark because the glowing-hot plasma that should be there is gone. It's on its way to Earth”.
Solar storm to hit the Earth tomorrow
A G2 class solar storm is a moderate geomagnetic disturbance, so the storm is not likely to cause much trouble for us. However, it will cause aurora display in the higher latitudes. Auroras are the beautiful curtain-like light patterns in the sky that happen as a result of refraction of light through the air molecules as the solar radiation hits the atmosphere at odd angles. But not all is going to be fun as there is a minor probability of shortwave radio blackouts, which can affect ham radio operators and some navigation systems on the dayside of the Earth.
The increasing solar activities are associated with the solar cycle of the Sun. The Sun is headed towards its solar maximum phase when its solar activity will be at its highest. The peak should be reached by 2023 and we should expect an even more intense solar storms striking the Earth.

Valerie Kerri on being an author, launching her startup Ebony Street Market, and more.
By Papa Olabode Oct 11, 2017
Valerie is a force of nature — bubbly and go-getter extraordinaire, author of The JJC Handbook and Founder / CEO of Ebony Street Market (ESM). ESM is an online marketplace that brings African artisan products to discerning customers in the U.K. I found ESM interesting, as it appeared to be a startup that threads the intersection of social responsibility and profit-oriented mindset, with an excellent balance.
I was intrigued to know more. We met up at The London Grind and below is an edited version of our conversation. Enjoy.
Papa: Who’s Valerie Kerri?
Valerie: I’m a small girl from Nigeria that has big dreams of making it. My goals are constantly changing, but whatever they are at the time, I’m just trying to achieve it in any way I can (ahh only legal ways I must add). As a person, I would like to think I’m down-to-earth and always up for a laugh, with my dry jokes.
Papa: When you say a ‘small girl with dreams of making it’ — what do you mean by that?
Valerie: For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to leave my mark in the world. For example, I’ve always loved beautiful clothes and thought of owning my fashion line. In my undergraduate days back in Madonna University, a lot of my friends wanted to know where I got my outfits and this gave me an idea to sell clothes. I did this part-time for a few years. Fast forward to today, and I have a T-shirt line called ‘Awele Kerri’ which has Nigerian slogans emblazoned on casual shirts.
I’ve also been interested in technology and quite conscious of its impact on everyday life from a very early age. My interest led me to work as the COO of Nigerian company called Pliris Mobile, which made made-in-Nigeria handsets. Much later on, I founded a consulting firm where I worked with clients to meet their business goals using technology by building their online presence.
Over time, I realised that I was good at selling and building things. I might not be perfect at everything, but I have been able to do part or all of the things I am good at with my startup ESM right now.
Another keen interest of mine is telling stories and was how I wrote and published a book — The JJC Handbook — that was surprisingly well received.
The point is that I’ve always tried so many different things that I enjoy it or have a passion for and I’m constantly chasing my dreams as they evolve.
Papa: Let’s talk a bit about your book — The JJC Handbook; I know it’s a collection of wisdom nuggets for immigrants — what prompted you to write it? And how well did it do?
Valerie: The JJC handbook was my diary. There was a period in my life when I kept a journal and insisted in writing in the 3rd person like I was writing to my younger self. I wasn’t writing daily, but it was constant enough to touch on things that happened to me. A lot of them where I usually took what can be called ’not the best cause of action’, because I didn’t know better and to deal with my failures I wrote down the right way to do it as a coping mechanism. It was funny to read as I was usually mocking myself while advising on what I should have done in certain situations. It was a ‘Real talk’ kind of diary.
At some point, reading back on my journal, I realised that I wished I had a book like that when I came to the U.K. One day someone read my diary (which at the time annoyed me to no end). Anyways, he said it was excellent and encouraged me to publish it. I then reached out to a friend — Tolu Akinyemi, who also happened to be a prolific writer and author of several books and he also encouraged me to publish. He ended up drawing the handbook’s art cover as a birthday gift.
I listened to their advice and went researching how to self-publish my book and ended up using Createspace (Amazon). On the day I had the edition published, I posted it to a few sites including Okada books. I vividly remember that weekend as my partner and I went to France for a short break, however, as we were not in the U.K, I couldn’t check my emails every day because of data charges. As it turns out, for every copy purchased on Okadabooks, I get a notification email, and when we got back to the U.K, I was convinced that their system was hacked or corrupted because I got hundreds of emails coming from Okadabooks.
Next thing I knew, there was a post on Bellanaija titled ‘This book might just save your life’ about my book and reading the comments was amazing, that little me could touch so many people. I cried. Since then, there have been quite a few interviews and reviews, and I am looking to finish my next book.
Papa: That’s amazing indeed! I also heard you talk about your startup Ebony Street Market (ESM) at a BTNG event, can you tell me a bit more about your journey?
Valerie: ESM market is a combination of the things that I love most; running a business, helping people by connecting to others, growing businesses, not to forget, fashion and beautiful things.
ESM is a multi-vendor e-commerce store that brings unique and carefully curated products to customers. You can call it e-bay for black-owned businesses. Customers can find unique and spectacular items that they frankly can’t get elsewhere. We also consult on behalf of our partners concerning structure and operations of their business, branding, and marketing.
For me, ESM has also enabled a streamline of my operations by closing other stand-alone businesses I was involved and merging it all into one pot.
Papa: Marketplaces are always hard to execute for all the obvious reasons. In your case, how do you get a product purchased from someone in Nigeria to the customer based in U.K in a reasonable timeframe?
Valerie: When a partner signs up, they go through a vetting process. The vetting process covers training which clarifies fundamental questions like; how do you deliver a product, handle customer service, etc.
We also offer a guarantee to customers. The guarantee means if for some reason, a seller doesn’t deliver, goods damaged in transit or whatever the reason a buyer is dissatisfied and wants a refund — we refund. That’s our guarantee.
Papa: How’s been reception?
Valerie: Like most startups, we made a lot of assumptions which we could only test once we launched. The first two weeks after launch were spent fixing bugs and making sure the platform worked as expected. To be honest, we felt we lost a bit of momentum, but we’ve more than recovered and doing well.
With the necessary improvements done, we’ve now in a better place and getting a lot of interest within the community. For instance, we had a segment on Colorful radio and got a lot of sales from that. We also recently completed a rebrand and refresh of our site, which has helped us with organic traffic and we can see an increase in completed transactions.
Overall, we are now in a good place where we’re able to think of getting more partners unto our platform because we’re now confident we can help customers to shop without hassle.
Papa: Well done. I have to say you are a published author, and of course, run a startup. I think that’s all pretty impressive. Are you without fear? Or is there any advice you can give someone hoping to do impossible things?
Valerie: I don’t think there’s anyone without fear. However, when I was growing up, my mum would always say the people succeeding didn’t have ten heads. This is the same thing I tell myself all the time. I think anyone can do anything — if they put their mind to it. And if someone has done it before you have no excuse at all.
The good thing about the internet is that most information is freely available to anyone. When I had to publish my book, I could research how to go about self-publishing without any prior knowledge. When it was time to start ESM, it was the same thing — I had to research, but I found the information.
One thing I would say is that, you shouldn’t beat yourself too hard if you don’t hit your goals all at once — but you need to clarify your priorities so it doesn’t bother you if you don’t tick everything off.
If you drop some balls — it’s okay- don’t be so hard on yourself but learn from your mistakes. I gave a talk ‘Can you have it all’ in February at the Reel talks seminar. I think a few people expected that I would say you can have it all. Instead, my position is that you can’t-do it all, but you can do what you want, those things that are important to you. To me. And I try to be amazing at those things.
Papa: Not limiting it to tech, where do you hope to have a long-lasting impact?
Valerie: Let me tell you a little story about something that brought fulfillment to me. A few years ago, I was living in Surrey and was feeling stuck personally, I sat down and realised that nothing I was currently working on was bringing me joy that comes with fulfillment. So I sent a message to my friend to moan as you do….He said well an Igbo group called ICSN was having a BBQ event this weekend– and suggested I come out, meet people and have some fun. I didn’t attend that event, haha.
A few months later, I got a notification on Facebook about another event by ICSN and decided to attend. I got to the venue and realized there was an election for the governing body of the society. I sat there and listened to people stand up and speak about what they will do for the community if they were elected. It was electrifying!
I had decided to put myself forward….I stood up and spoke passionately about how I will contribute to help the society. It must have been convincing because I got elected!!
During the time spent serving on the executive board for the society, it was such a joy to see other people learn the Igbo language, attend events, make new friends, and everyone felt like family. This is the same joy I feel when I work with a partner from Nigeria on ESM whose art or product ends up in a Customer’s house here in the U.K. Or when a new business owner does a product launch using a new website I helped them to build and people can find them online.
The point of my story is that anything that allows me to give back and watch people grow positively- gives me fulfillment, and this is how I hope to have a long-lasting impact.

Remittance flows into Africa are fostering entrepreneurship

Wealthy private investors and a tech-savvy middle class in Africa are helping to bridge early-and-growth stage funding gaps for startups as platforms emerge to help funnel diaspora cash into the continent’s rapidly expanding venture capital market.
Remittance flows into Africa are gradually being retooled to foster entrepreneurship and support innovation on the continent, giving multi-stage startups a much-needed lifeline.
Intermediary platforms such as Pangea Trust and Bantaba (a Sweden-based VC matchmaker) are tipped to help unlock and deploy more diaspora remittances across the full spectrum of startup maturity in Africa to accelerate their growth.
Pangea has developed a one-stop shop for members of the African diaspora community interested in becoming investors – including training in dealmaking.
“The diaspora is active today in supporting African-impact entrepreneurs and businesses. The money sent to Africa is mainly used to support the extended family and our mission is to increase support to business development, competence to young entrepreneurs and productive investments,” Pangea says on its site.
It comes at a time when there is growing appetite among African investors to support modest-sized startups on the continent.
“More than half of US$1m+ deals in Africa since 2019 have had at least one Africa-based investor as one of the main investors. And this percentage has grown quite a bit since 2019 (36 per cent then vs. 58 per cent this year so far),” said Africa: the Big Deal, a startup deals database, in a report.
According to the database, a main Africa-based investor is also included in more than 50 percent of deals of US$ 10 million and up, in 2022.
The database reports that Africa-based investors are more active in deals with start-ups in Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya.
Key sectors for these investors are Education and Jobs, Healthcare and Fintech. Other sectors are Agriculture and Food, Energy and Water, and Logistics and Transport.
59 percent of deals are with startups with a female CEO and female teams are favoured.
“They are particularly well represented in the deals with start-ups with an all-female founding team (one female founder or an all-female founding team) where they are involved as the main investor in more than two-thirds (68 per cent) of the US$1m+ deals since 2019,” the report shows.
On diaspora remittances, figures show the remittances to Africa (excluding North Africa) grew 14 per cent to US$49 billion in 2021, the strongest gain since 2018.
Including flows into Egypt alone, remittance jumps to more than US$80 billion.
Figures from the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) show remittances from Egyptian expatriates soared 6.4 per cent or US$1.9 billion during 2021 to US$31.5 billion up from US$ 29.6 billion in 2020.
In 2020, remittances to Africa as a whole withstood an onslaught from COVID-19 shocks, growing more than US$80 billion on the back of fiscal stimulus extended to workers in remitting countries like the United States and Europe, according to the World Bank.
This runs counter to trends that saw remittance inflows into other low-and middle–income states worldwide shrink by US$8 billion in 2020, due to the fallout from coronavirus lockdowns.
Remittance growth was more in Zambia, at 37 per cent, Mozambique at 16 per cent, Kenya at nine per cent and Ghana at five per cent, according to the report. Flows to Egypt soared 11 per cent to a record high of nearly US$30 billion in 2020, while transfers to Morocco jumped 6.5 per cent to US$7.05 billion.
“The resilience of remittance flows is remarkable. Remittances are helping to meet families’ increased need for livelihood support,” said Dilip Ratha, lead author of the report on migration and remittances and head of KNOMAD.
“They can no longer be treated as small change. The World Bank has been monitoring migration and remittance flows for nearly two decades. We are working with governments and partners to produce timely data and make remittance flows even more productive.”
Globally, remittance flows to low-and middle-income nations slid to 540 billion US dollars in 2020, just 1.6 per cent below the 2019 total of 548 billion US dollars, according to the Migration and Development Brief.
Nonetheless, this was a smaller drop than during the 2009 global financial crisis (at 4.8 per cent) and far lower than the fall in foreign direct investment (FDI) flows to low-and middle-income countries, which, excluding flows to China, fell by over 30 per cent.
According to the World Bank, the negative trend resulting from COVID-19 shocks is about to substantially reverse, globally.
“With global growth expected to rebound further in 2021 and 2022, remittance flows to low-and middle-income countries are expected to increase by 2.6 per cent to $553 billion in 2021 and by 2.2 per cent to $565 billion in 2022,” reads a World Bank report.
Remittances to Nigeria are also projected to bounce in 2021 and 2022 after a decline last year. Cash wired to Nigeria by its citizens abroad, including the United States and Europe fell 27.7 per cent in 2020 to 16.8 billion US dollars, from 23.24 billion dollars in 2019, due to COVID-19-induced economic shocks. A global recovery is expected to see that figure soar this year and next.

Last Updated on: January 15, 2023
If you're looking for some super easy and free ways to find someone's email address, then this article has got you covered.
Email addresses are an essential part of your online business. They allow you to stay in touch with your customers and prospects, track the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns, reduce fraud and protect your business.
In this article, I have explained 5 easy ways that you can use to find anyone's email address for free.
5 Easy Ways to Find an Email Address Online
1. Using an Email Finder Tool
2. Use Social Media
3. Use Search Engines
4. Check Company's Website
5. Reach Out Directly
There are many reasons why you might want to find someone's email. Maybe you're trying to get in touch with a long-lost friend or relative. Maybe you're trying to contact a potential business partner or client. Or maybe you're just trying to find out more about someone you've met online.
Whatever your reason, there are a few different ways you can go about finding someone's email address. If you're not sure how to find email address, here are a few of the most popular methods:
Email finder tools are useful because they can help you to find the emails of someone you want to contact. This can be helpful if you want to get in touch with someone but you don't have their email id.
They can also be used to find out if someone has an email address associated with a particular website or online account.
If you're struggling to find the email addresses of your prospect all by yourself, try any of the free tools that I have mentioned below.
Hunter.io
Hunter.io is a popular email finder tool that helps people to find the email id of people they want to contact. It is a useful tool for both individuals and businesses, as it can help to facilitate communication and build relationships.

If the person you're looking for is active on social media, there's a good chance you'll be able to find their email address. Many people include their email addresses in their profile information on sites like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
Check their profile page for contact information, or try doing a search on the platform for their username or name.
Check out the tips below for ways to find anyone's email address.
Facebook: If your prospect has a Facebook account, their email address may be listed in the "About" section. If an online business is managing a Facebook Page for their users, you can check the "About" section here also. You're more likely to find an email address you're looking for using this option.
LinkedIn: There are a few ways to find a prospect's email address on LinkedIn. One way is to look at their profile and see if they have their email address listed. Another way is to search for the person's name in LinkedIn's search bar and look for their email address in the results.
To find email address, you need to connect with your prospect first. Once you both are connected, you'll be able to find their personal email address or professional email id on their profile.
You can also check the About section on the person's LinkedIn profile.
LinkedIn also gives you the option to export your connection's profile in CSV format. To export, you first need to click on the drop down menu present on your profile photo and select Settings & Privacy.
Now select Data Privacy and click on Get a copy of your data. Under Export your data, select the “Want something in particular? Select the data files you're most interested in.” option, and then check the Connections box.
Now click on the Request Archive button to download your connections. Soon you'll get an email from LinkedIn containing a link to download the .CSV file containing a list of all your connections and their email addresses.
Twitter: If they have a Twitter account, their email address may be listed in the "Bio" section. Another way is to look through the account's tweets and see if they've tweeted their email address anywhere.
Finally, you can try sending a direct message to the account and asking for the email address.
Another way to find an email address for someone is to do a Google search. Type in the person's name and the word "email" and see what comes up. You may find that their email address is listed on a website or in a directory.
You can also try searching for the person's name in other popular search engines like Yahoo! or Bing. If their email address is listed on a website, it should come up in the search results.
However, using this method to find a person's email address may land you totally irrelevant results.
If you already have an email address you can use search engines to verify that the address is relevant and belongs to your prospect. To do that you need to follow the method shown below.
Enter your prospect's generic email address or domain-specific email id in double quotes in Google Search and click the Search button.
Google will immediately scan the web to find the relevant search results for you. In the screenshot given above, you can see that it is so simple and easy to find a verified email address for your prospects.
By following the above technique, you can easily search peoples email address on the web.
Many online businesses put their contact information like phone numbers and email addresses on their website to allow site visitors to contact them with ease.
If you want to find an email address on a company's website, the best place to start is the 'Contact Us' page. This page will usually have a list of email addresses for different departments within the company. If you can't find the 'Contact Us' page, try looking in the website's footer for an 'Email Us' link.
If you can't find someone's email address using the methods and techniques described above, you can try contacting them directly through their social media profiles. Keep in mind, however, that this may not always be successful, as some people prefer to keep their social media and email accounts separate.
You can find your prospects on social media networks like Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn and send them a direct message asking them for their email address.
If your reason for asking for an email address is genuine then you would definitely get a response in the affirmative.
Another alternative way is to the install Chrome extension of any popular email finder tool. For example, if you have already installed the extension of Hunter.io then it becomes super easy to find the possible email addresses of your prospects.
After installing the extension, you just need to open the website URL of your prospects in the browser and click on the Hunter extension located at the top of your browser.
As soon as you click on the extension it will scan the website to look for email address and show you all possible emails (see the below screenshot). You can now save them for future email outreach or your email marketing campaigns.
Email addresses are a critical part of any online business. They are the first step in establishing a relationship with a potential customer or client. Without an email address, you cannot hope to connect with someone on a personal level or even professionally.
Finding an email address of your prospect should not be difficult now. I hope the methods and techniques described above will help you find the email address you're looking for.
I would recommend you to start with free email lookup services like Hunter.io as it is completely free for up to 25 email searches per month. Give it a try.

“Are there few that be saved?” — Luke xiii. 23.
I TAKE it for granted that every reader of this paper calls himself a Christian. You would not like to be reckoned a deist, or an infidel. You profess to believe the Bible to be true. The birth of Christ the Saviour, — the death of Christ the Saviour, — the salvation provided by Christ the Saviour, — all these are facts which you have probably never doubted. But, after all, will Christianity like this profit you anything at last? Will it do your soul any good when you die? In one word, — Shall you, be saved?
It may be you are now young, healthy and strong. Perhaps you never had a day's illness in your life, and scarcely know what it is to feel weakness and pain. You scheme and plan for future years, and feel as if death was far away, and out of sight. Yet, remember, death sometimes cuts off young people in the flower of their days. The strong and healthy of the family do not always live the longest. Your sun may go down before your life has reached its mid-day. Yet a little while, and you may be lying in a narrow, silent home, and the daisies may be growing over your grave. And then, consider, — Shall you be saved?
It may be you are rich and prosperous in this world. You have money, and all that money can command. You have “honour, love, obedience, troops of friends.” But, remember, “riches are not for ever.” You cannot keep them longer than a few years. “It is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment.” (Prov. xxvii. 24; Heb. ix. 27.) And then, consider, — Shall you be saved?
It may be you are poor and needy. You have scarcely enough to provide food and raiment for yourself and family. You are often distressed for want of comforts, which you have no power to get. Like Lazarus, you seem to have “evil things” only and not good. But, nevertheless, you take comfort in the thought that there will be an end of all this. There is a world to come, where poverty and want shall be unknown. Yet, consider a moment, — Shall you be saved?
It may be you have a weak and sickly body. You hardly know what it is to be free from pain. You have so long parted company with health, that you have almost forgotten what it is like. You have often said in the morning, “Would God it were evening,”— and in the evening, “Would God it were morning.” There are days when you are tempted by very weariness to cry out with Jonah, “It is better for me to die than to live.” (Jonah iv. 3.) But, remember, death is not all. There is something else beyond the grave. And then, consider, — Shall you be saved?
If it was an easy thing to be saved, I would not write as I do in this volume. But is it so? Let us see.
If the common opinion of the world as to the number of the saved was correct, I would not trouble men with searching and hard questions. But is it so? Let us see.
If God had never spoken plainly in the Bible about the number of the saved, I might well be silent. But is it so? Let us see.
If experience and facts left it doubtful whether many or few would be saved, I might hold my peace. But is it so? Let us see.
There are four points which I propose to examine in considering the subject before us.
I. Let me explain what it is to be saved.
II. Let me point out the mistakes which are common in the world about the number of the saved.
Let me show what the Bible says about the number of the saved.
Let me bring forward some plain facts as to the number of the saved.
A calm examination of these four points, in a day of wide-spread carelessness about vital religion, will be found of vast importance to our souls.
I. First of all let me explain what it is to be saved.
This is a matter that must be cleared up. Till we know this, we shall make no progress. By being “saved” I may mean one thing, and you may mean another. Let me show you what the Bible says it is to be “saved,” and then there will be no misunderstanding.
To be saved, is not merely to profess and call ourselves Christians. We may have all the outward parts of Christianity, and yet be lost after all. We may be baptized into Christ's Church, — go to Christ's table,— have Christian knowledge, — be reckoned Christian men and women — and yet be dead souls all our lives, — and at last, in the judgment day, be found on Christ's left hand, among the goats. No: this is not salvation! Salvation is something far higher and deeper than this. Now what is it?
(a) To. be saved, is to be delivered in this present life from the guilt of sin, by faith in Jesus Christ, the Saviour. It is to be pardoned, justified, and freed from every charge of sin, by faith in Christ's blood and mediation. Whosoever with his heart believes on the Lord Jesus Christ, is a saved soul. He shall not perish. He shall have eternal life. This is the first part of salvation, and the root of all the rest. But this is not all.
(b) To be saved, is to be delivered in this present life from the power of sin, by being born again, and sanctified by Christ's spirit. It is to be freed from the hateful dominion of sin, the world, and the devil, by having a new nature put in us by the Holy Ghost. Whosoever is thus renewed in the spirit of his mind, and converted, is a saved soul. He shall not perish. He shall enter into the glorious kingdom of God. This is the second part of salvation. But this is not all.
(c) To be saved, is to be delivered in the day of judgment, from all the awful consequences of sin. It is to be declared blameless, spotless, faultless, and complete in Christ, while others are found guilty, and condemned for ever. It is to hear those comfortable words, — “Come, ye blessed!” while others are hearing those fearful words, — “Depart, ye cursed!” (Matt. xxv. 34,41.) It is to be owned and confessed by Christ, as one of His dear children and servants, while others are disowned and cast off for ever. It is to be pronounced free from the portion of the wicked, — the worm that never dies, — the fire that is not quenched, — the weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth, that never ends. It is to receive the reward prepared for the righteous, in the day of Christ's second coming; — the glorious body, — the kingdom that is incorruptible, — the crown that fadeth not away,—and the joy that is for evermore. This is complete salvation. This is the “redemption” for which true Christians are bid to look and long. (Luke xxi. 25.) This is the heritage of all men and women who believe and are born again. By faith they are saved already. In the eye of God their final salvation is an absolutely certain thing. Their names are in the book of life. Their mansions in heaven are even now prepared But still there is a fulness of redemption and salvation which they do not attain to while they are in the body. They are saved from the guilt and power of sin; — but not from the necessity of watching and praying against it. They are saved from the fear and love of the world ; — but not from the necessity of daily fighting with it. They are saved from the service of the devil; — but they are not saved from being vexed by his temptations. But when Christ comes the salvation of believers shall be complete. They possess it already in the bud. They shall see it then in the flower.
Such is salvation. It is to be saved from the guilt, power, and consequences of sin. It is to believe and be sanctified now, and to be delivered from the wrath of God in the last day. He that has the first part in the life that now is, shall undoubtedly have the second part in the life to come. Both parts of it hang together. What God has joined together, let no man dare to put asunder. Let none dream he shall ever be saved at last, if he is not born again first. Let none doubt, if he is born again here, that he shall assuredly be saved hereafter.
Let it never be forgotten that the chief object of a minister of the Gospel is to set forward the salvation of souls. I lay it down as a certain fact that he is no true minister who does not feel this. Talk not of a man's orders! All may have been done correctly, and according to rule. He may wear a black coat, and be called a “reverend” man. But if the saving of souls is not the grand interest — the ruling passion — the absorbing thought of his heart, — he is no true minister of the Gospel: he is a hireling, and not a shepherd. Congregations may have called him, — but he is not called by the Holy Ghost Bishops may have ordained him, — but not Christ.
For what purpose do men suppose that ministers are sent forth? Is it merely to wear a surplice, — and read the services, — and preach a certain number of sermons? Is it merely to administer the sacraments, and officiate at weddings and funerals? Is it merely to get a comfortable living, and be in a respectable profession? No, indeed ! we are sent forth for other ends than these. We are sent to turn men from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God. We are sent to persuade men to flee from the wrath to come. We are sent to draw men from the service of the world to the service of God, — to awaken the sleeping, — to arouse the careless, — and “by all means to save some.” (1 Cor. ix. 22.)
Think not that all is done when we have set up regular services, and persuaded people to attend them. Think not that all is done, when full congregations are gathered, and the Lord's table is crowded, and the parish school is filled. We want to see manifest work of the Spirit among people, — an evident sense of sin, — a lively faith in Christ, — a decided change of heart, — a distinct separation from the world, — a holy walk with God. In one word, we want to see souls saved; and we are fools and impostors, — blind leaders of the blind, — if we rest satisfied with anything less.
After all the grand object of having a religion is to be saved. This is the great question that we have to settle with our consciences. The matter for our consideration is not whether we go to church or chapel, — whether we go through certain forms and ceremonies, — whether we observe certain days, and perform a certain number of religious duties. The matter is whether, after all, we shall be “saved.” Without this all our religious doings are weariness and labour in vain.
Never, never let us be content with anything short of a saving religion. Surely to be satisfied with a religion which neither gives peace in life, nor hope in death, nor glory in the world to come, is childish folly.
II. Let me, in the second place, point out the mistakes which are common in the world about the number of the saved.
I need not go far for evidence on this subject. I will speak of things which every man may see with his own eyes, and hear with his own ears.
I will try to show that there is a wide-spread delusion abroad about this matter, and that this very delusion is one of the greatest dangers to which our souls are exposed.
(a) What then do men generally think about the spiritual state of others while they are alive? What do they think of the souls of their relations, and friends, and neighbours, and acquaintances?
Let us just see how that question can be answered.
They know that all around them are going to die, and to be judged. They know that they have souls to be lost or saved. And what, to all appearance, do they consider their end is likely to be?
Do they think those around them are in danger of hell? There is nothing whatever to show they think so. They eat and drink together; they laugh, and talk, and walk, and work together. They seldom or never speak to one another of God and eternity, — of heaven and of hell. I ask any one, who knows the world, as in the sight of God, is it not so?
Will they allow that anybody is wicked or ungodly? Never, hardly, whatever may be his way of life. He may be a breaker of the Sabbath; he may be a neglecter of the Bible; he may be utterly without evidence of true religion. No matter! His friends will often tell you, that he may not make so much profession as some, but that he has a “good heart” at the bottom, and is not a wicked man. I ask any one, who knows the world, as in God's sight, is it not so?
And what does all this prove? It proves that men flatter themselves there is no great difficulty in getting to heaven. It proves plainly that men are of opinion that most persons will be saved.
(b) But what do men generally think about that spiritual state of others after they are dead?
Let us just see how this question can be answered.
Men allow, if they are not infidels, that all who die have gone to a place of happiness, or of misery. And to which of these two places do they seem to think the greater part of persons go, when they leave this world?
I say, without fear of contradiction, that there is an unhappily common fashion of speaking well of the condition of all who have departed this life. It matters little, apparently, how a man has behaved while he lived. He may have given no signs of repentance, or faith in Christ; he may have been ignorant of the plan of salvation set forth in the Gospel; he may have shown no evidence whatever of conversion or sanctification; he may have lived and died like a creature without a soul. And yet, as soon as this man is dead, people will dare to say that he is “probably happier than ever he was in his life.” They will tell you complacently, they “hope he is gone to a better world.” They will shake their heads gravely, and say they “hope he is in heaven.” They will follow him to the grave without fear and trembling, and speak of his death afterwards as “a blessed change for him.” They may have disliked him, and thought him a bad man while he was alive; but the moment he is dead they turn round in their opinions and say they trust he is gone to heaven! I have no wish to hurt any one's feelings. I only ask any one, who knows the world, — Is it not true?
And what does it all prove? It just supplies one more awful proof that men are determined to believe it is an easy business to get to heaven. Men will have it that most persons are saved.
(c) But again, what do men generally think of ministers who preach fully the doctrines of the New Testament?
Let us see how this question can be answered.
Send a clergyman into a parish who shall “declare all the counsel of God,” and “keep back nothing that is profitable.” Let him be one who shall clearly proclaim justification by faith, — regeneration by the Spirit, — and holiness of life. Let him be one who shall draw the line distinctly between the converted and the unconverted, and give both to sinners and to saints their portion. Let him frequently produce out of the New Testament a plain, unanswerable description of the true Christian's character. Let him show that no man who does not possess that character can have any reasonable hope of being saved. Let him constantly press that description on the consciences of his hearers, and urge upon them repeatedly that every soul who dies without that character will be lost. Let him do this, ably and affectionately, and after all, what will the result be?
The result will be, that while some few repent and are saved, the great majority of his hearers will not receive and believe his doctrine. They may not oppose him publicly. They may even esteem him, and respect him as an earnest, sincere, kind-hearted man, who means well. But they will go no further. He may show them the express words of Christ and His Apostles; he may quote text upon text, and passage upon passage : it will be to no purpose. The great majority of his hearers will think him “too strict,” and “too close,” and “too particular.” They will say among themselves, that the world is not so bad as the minister seems to think, — and that people cannot be so good as the minister wants them to be, — and that after all, they hope they shall be all right at the last! I appeal to any minister of the Gospel, who has been any length of time in the ministry, whether I am not stating the truth. Are not these things so?
And what does it prove? It just makes one more proof that men generally are resolved to think that salvation is not a very hard business, and that after all most people will be saved.
Now what solid reason can men show us for these common opinions? Upon what Scripture do they build this notion, that salvation is an easy business, and that most people will be saved? What revelation of God can they show us, to satisfy us that these opinions are sound and true?
They have none, — literally none at all. They have not a text of Scripture which, fairly interpreted, supports their views. They have not a reason which will bear examination. They speak smooth things about one another's spiritual state, just because they do not like to allow there is danger. They build up one another into an easy, self-satisfied state of soul, in order to soothe their consciences and make things pleasant. They cry “Peace, peace,” over one another's graves, because they want it to be so, and would fain persuade themselves that so it is. Surely against such hollow, foundationless opinions as these, a minister of the Gospel may well protest.
The plain truth is that the world's opinion is worth nothing in matters of religion. About the price of an ox, or a horse, or a farm, or the value of labour, — about wages and work, — about money, cotton, coals, iron and corn, — about arts, and sciences, and manufactures, — about railways, and commerce, and trade, and politics, — about all such things the men of the world may give a correct opinion. But we must beware, if we love life, of being guided by man's judgment in the things that concern salvation. “The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him.” (1 Cor. ii. 14.)
Let us remember, above all, that it never will do to think as others do, if we want to get to heaven. No doubt it is easy work to “go with the crowd” in religious matters. It will save us much trouble to swim with the stream and tide. We shall be spared much ridicule : we shall be freed from much unpleasantness. But let us remember, once for all, that the world's mistakes about salvation are many and dangerous. Unless we are on our guard against them we shall never be saved.
III. Let me show, in the third place, what the Bible says about the number of the saved.
There is only one standard of truth and error to which we ought to appeal. That standard is the Holy Scripture. Whatsoever is there written we must receive and believe: whatsoever cannot be proved by Scripture we ought to refuse.
Can any reader of this paper subscribe to this? If he cannot, there is little chance of his being moved by any words of mine. If he can, let him give me his attention for a few moments, and I will tell him some solemn things.
Let us look, then, for one thing, at one single text of Scripture, and examine it well. We shall find it in Matthew vii. 13, 14: — “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Now these are the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. They are the words of Him who was very God, and whose words shall never pass away. They are the words of Him who knew what was in man, — who knew things to come, and things past, — who knew that He should judge all men at the last day. And what do those words mean? Are they words which no man can understand without a knowledge of Hebrew or Greek? No: they are not! Are they a dark, unfulfilled prophecy, like the visions in Revelation, or the description of Ezekiel's temple? No: they are not! Are they a deep mysterious saying, which no human intellect can fathom? No: they are not! The words are clear, plain, and unmistakable. Ask any labouring man who can road, and he will toll you so. There is only one meaning which can be attached to them. Their meaning is, that many people will be lost, and few will be found saved.
Let us look, in the next place, at the whole history of mankind as respects religion, as we have it given in the Bible. Let us go through the whole four thousand years, over which the history of the Bible reaches. Let us find, if we can, one single period of time at which godly people were many,, and ungodly people were few.
How was it in the days of Noah? The earth we are told expressly was “filled with violence.” The imagination of man's heart was only “evil continually.” (Gen. vi. 5,12.) “All flesh had corrupted his way.” The loss of paradise was forgotten. The warnings of God, by Noah's mouth, were despised. And. at length, when the flood came on the world and drowned every living thing, there were but eight people who had faith enough to flee for refuge to the ark! And were there many saved in those days? Let any honest reader of the Bible give an answer to that question. There can be no doubt what the answer must be.
How was it in the days of Abraham, and Isaac, and Lot? It is evident that in the matter of religion they stood very much alone. The family from which they were taken was a family of idolaters. The nations among whom they lived were sunk in gross darkness and sin. When Sodom and Gomorrah were burned there were not five righteous people to be found in the four cities of the plain. When Abraham and Isaac desired to find wives for their sons, there was not a woman in the land where they sojourned to whom they could wish to see them married. And were there many saved in those days? Let any honest reader of the Bible give an answer to that question. There can be no doubt what the answer must be.
How was it with Israel in the days of the Judges? No one can read the book of Judges, and not be struck with the sad examples of man's corruption which it affords. Time after time we are told of the people forsaking God, and following idols. In spite of the plainest warnings, they joined affinity with the Canaanites, and learned their works. Time after time we read of their being oppressed by foreign kings, because of their sins, and then miraculously delivered. Time after time we read of the deliverance being forgotten, and of the people returning to their former sins, like the sow that is washed to her wallowing in the mire. And were there many saved in those days? Let any honest reader of the Bible give an answer to that question. There can be no doubt what the answer must be.
How was it with Israel in the days of the Kings? From Saul, the first king, down to Zedekiah, the last king, their history is a melancholy account of backsliding, and declension, and idolatry, — with a few bright exceptional periods. Even under the best kings there seems to have been a vast amount of unbelief and ungodliness, which only lay hid for a season, and burst out at the first favourable opportunity. Over and over again we find that under the most zealous kings “the high places were not taken away.” Mark how even David speaks of the state of things around him: “Help, Lord, for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.” (Psalm xii. 1.) Mark how Isaiah describes the condition of Judah and Jerusalem: “The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot, even unto the crown of the head, there is no soundness in it.” — “Except the Lord of Hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and should have been like unto Gomorrah.” (Isaiah i. 5-9.) Mark how Jeremiah describes his time: “Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth, and I will pardon it.” (Jer. v. 1.) Mark how Ezekiel speaks of the men of his times: “The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and iron, and tin and lead in the midst of the furnace: they are even the dross of silver.” (Ezek. xxii. 17,18.) Mark what he says in the sixteenth and twenty-third chapters of his prophecy about the kingdoms of Judah and Israel. And were there many saved in those days? Let any honest reader of the Bible give an answer to that question. There can be no doubt what the answer must be.
How was it with the Jews when our Lord Jesus Christ was on earth? The words of Saint John are the best account of their spiritual state: “He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.” (John i. 11.) He lived as no one born of woman had ever lived before, — a blameless, harmless, holy life. “He went about doing good.” (Acts x. 38.) He preached as no one ever preached before. Even the officers of his enemies confessed, “Never man spake like this man.” (John vii. 46.) He did miracles to confirm His ministry, which, at first sight, we might have fancied would have convinced the most hardened. But, notwithstanding all this, the vast majority of the Jews refused to believe Him. Follow our Lord in all His travels over Palestine, and you will always find the same story. Follow Him into the city, and follow Him into the wilderness; follow Him to Capernaum and Nazareth, and follow Him to Jerusalem; follow Him among Scribes and Pharisees, and follow Him among Sadducees and Herodians: everywhere you will arrive at the same result. They were amazed; — they were silenced; — they were astonished; — they wondered; — but very few became disciples! The immense proportion of the nation would have none of His doctrine, and crowned all their wickedness by putting Him to death. And were there many saved in those days? Let any honest reader of the Bible give an answer to that question. There can be no doubt what the answer must be.
How was it with the world in the days of the Apostles? If ever there was a period when true religion flourished it was then. Never did the Holy Ghost call into the fold of Christ so many souls in the same space of time. Never were there so many conversions under the preaching of the Gospel as when Paul and his fellow-labourers were the preachers. But still, it is plain from the Acts of the Apostles, that true Christianity was “everywhere spoken against.” (Acts xxviii. 22.) It is evident that in every city, even in Jerusalem itself, true Christians were a small minority. We read of perils of all kinds which the Apostles had to go through, — not only perils from without, but perils from within, — not only perils from the heathen, but perils from false brethren. We hardly read of a single city visited by Paul where he was not in danger from open violence. and persecution. We see plainly, by some of his epistles, that the professing Churches were mixed bodies, in which there were many rotten members. We find him telling the Philippians a painful part of his experience, — ” Many walk, of whom I tell you, even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ; whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is their shame, who mind earthly things.” (Philip, iii. 18, 19.) And were there many saved in those days? Let any honest reader of the Bible give an answer to this question. There can be no doubt what that answer must be.
I ask any honest-minded unprejudiced reader of the volume to weigh well the lessons of the Bible which I have just brought forward. Surely they are weighty and solemn, and deserve serious attention.
Let no one think to evade their force by saying that the Bible only tells the story of the Jews. Think not to comfort yourself by saying that “perhaps the Jews were more wicked than other nations, and many people were probably saved among other nations, though few were saved among the Jews.” You forget that this argument tells against you. You forget that the Jews had light and privileges which the Gentiles had not, and with all their sins and faults, were probably the holiest and most moral nation upon earth. As to the moral state of people among the Assyrians, and Egyptians, and Greeks, and Romans, it is fearful to think what it must have been. But this we may be sure of, — that if many were ungodly among the Jews, the number was far greater among the Gentiles. If few were saved in the green tree, alas, how much fewer must have been saved in the dry!
The sum of the whole matter is this: the Bible and the men of the world speak very differently about the number of the saved. According to the Bible, few will be saved: according to the men of the world, many. — According to the men of the world few are going to hell: according to the Bible few are going to heaven. — According to the men of the world salvation is an easy business: according to the Bible the way is narrow and the gate is strait. — According to the men of the world few will be found at last seeking admission into heaven when too late : according to the Bible many will be in that sad condition, and will cry in vain, “Lord, Lord, open to us.” Yet the Bible was never wrong yet. The most unlikely and improbable prophecies about Tyre, Egypt, Babylon, and Nineveh, have all come true to the letter. And as in other matters, so it will be about the number of the saved. The Bible will prove quite right and the men of the world quite wrong.
IV. Let me show, in the last place, some plain facts about the number of the saved.
I ask particular attention to this part of the subject.
I know well that people flatter themselves that the world is far better and wiser than it was 1800 years ago. We have churches, and schools, and books. We have civilization, and liberty, and good laws. We have a far higher standard of morality in society than that which once prevailed. We have the power of obtaining comforts and enjoyments which our forefathers knew nothing of. Steam, and gas, and electricity, and chemistry, have effected wonders for us. All this is perfectly true. I see it, and I am thankful. But all this does not diminish the importance of the question; — Are there few or many of us likely to be saved?
I am thoroughly satisfied that the importance of this question is painfully overlooked. I am persuaded that the views of most people about the quantity of unbelief and sin in the world, are utterly inadequate and incorrect. I am convinced that very few people, whether ministers or private Christians, at all realize how few there are in a way to be saved. I want to draw attention to the subject, and I will therefore bring forward a few plain facts about it.
But where shall I go for these facts? I might easily turn to the millions of heathen, who in various parts of the world are worshipping they know not what. But I shall not do so. — I might easily turn to the millions of Mahometans who honour the Koran more than the Bible, and the false prophet of Mecca more than Christ. But I shall not do so. — I might easily turn to the millions of Roman Catholics who are making the Word of God of none effect by their traditions. But I shall not do so. I shall look nearer home. I shall draw my facts from the land in which I live, and then ask every honest reader whether it be not strictly true that few are saved.
I invite any intelligent reader of these pages to imagine himself in any parish in Protestant England or Scotland at this day. Choose which you please, a town parish, or a country parish, — a great parish or a small. Let us take our New Testaments in our hands. Let us sift the Christianity of the inhabitants of this parish, family by family, and man by man. Let us put on one side any one who does not possess the New Testament evidence of being a true Christian. Let us deal honestly and fairly in the investigation, and not allow any one to be a true Christian who does not come up to the New Testament standard of faith and practice. Let us count every man a saved soul in whom we see something of Christ, — some evidence of true repentance, — some evidence of saving faith in Jesus, — some evidence of real evangelical holiness. Let us reject every man in whom, on the most charitable construction, we cannot see these evidences, as one “weighed in the balances, and found wanting.” Let us apply this sifting process to any parish in this land, and see what the result would be.
(a) Let us set aside, first of all, those persons in a parish who are living in any kind of open sin. By these I mean such as fornicators, and adulterers, and liars, and thieves, and drunkards, and cheats, and revilers, and extortioners. About these I think there can be no difference of opinion. The Bible says plainly, that “they which do such things, shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” (Gal. v. 21.) Now will these persons be saved? The answer is clear to my own mind: In their present condition they will not.
(b) Let us set aside, in the next place, those persons who are Sabbath-breakers. I mean by this expression, those who seldom or never go to a place of worship, though they have the power, — those who do not give the Sabbath to God, but to themselves, — those who think of nothing but doing their own ways, and finding their own pleasure upon Sundays. They show plainly that they are not meet for heaven! The inhabitants of heaven would be company they could not like. The employments of heaven - would be a weariness to them, and not a joy. Now will these persons be saved? The answer is clear to my mind: In their present condition they will not.
(c) Let us set aside, in the next place, all those persons who are careless and thoughtless Christians. I mean by this expression, those who attend many of the outward ordinances of religion, but show no signs of taking any real interest in its doctrines and substance. They care” little whether the minister preaches the Gospel or not. They care little whether they hear a good sermon or not. They would care little if all the Bibles in the world were burned. They would care little if an Act of Parliament were passed forbidding any one to pray. In short, religion is not the “ one thing needful” with them. Their treasure is on earth. They are just like Gallio, to whom it mattered little whether people were Jews or Christians: he “cared for none of these things.” (Acts xviii. 17.) Now will these persons be saved? The answer is clear to my own mind: In their present condition they will not.
(d) Let us set aside, in the next place, all those who are formalists and self-righteous. I mean by this expression, those who value themselves on their own regularity in the use of the forms of Christianity, and depend either directly or indirectly on their own doings for their acceptance with God. I mean all who rest their souls on any work but the work of Christ, or any righteousness but the righteousness of Christ. Of such the Apostle Paul has expressly testified, “By the deeds of the law shall no flesh living be justified.” — “Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” (Rom. iii. 20; 1 Cor. iii. 11.) And dare we say, in the face of such texts, that such as these will be saved? The answer is plain to my own mind: In their present condition they will not.
(e) Let us set aside, in the next place, all those who know the Gospel with their heads, but do not obey it with their hearts. These are those unhappy persons who have eyes to see the way of life, but have not will or courage to walk in it. They approve sound doctrine. They will not listen to preaching which does not contain it. But the fear of man, or the cares of the world, or the love of money, or the dread of offending relations, perpetually holds them back. They will not come out boldly, and take up the cross, and confess Christ before men. Of these also the Bible speaks expressly: “Faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” — “To him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” — “If any man is ashamed of Me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when He shall come in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels.” (James ii. 17; iv. 17; Luke ix. 26.) Shall we say that such as these will be saved? The answer is clear to my own mind: In their present condition they will not.
(f) Let us set aside, in the last place, all those who are hypocritical professors. I mean by that expression, all those whose religion consists in talk and high profession, and in nothing besides. These are they of whom the prophet Ezekiel speaks, saying, “With their mouth they show much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.” — “They profess that they know God, but in works they deny Him.”—They “have a form of godliness, but they have not the power of it.” (Ezek. xxxiii. 31; Titus i. 16; 2 Tim. iii. 5.) They are saints at church, and saints to talk to in public. But they are not saints in private, and in their own homes; and worst of all, they are not saints in heart. There can be no dispute about such persons. Shall we say that they will be saved? There can only be one answer: In their present condition they will not.
And now, after setting aside these classes which I have described, I ask any sensible thinking reader to tell me how many persons in any parish in England will there be left behind? How many, after sifting a parish thoroughly and honestly, — how many men and women will remain who are in a way to be saved? How many true penitents, —how many real believers in Christ, — how many truly holy people will there be found? I put it to the conscience of every reader of this volume to give an honest answer, as in the sight of God. I ask you whether, after sifting a parish with the Bible in the fashion described, you can come to any conclusion but this, — that few persons,—sadly few persons, are in a way to be saved?
It is a painful conclusion to arrive at, but I know not how it can be avoided. It is a fearful and tremendous thought, that there should be so many churchmen in England, and so many dissenters, so many seat-holders, and so many pew-renters, so many hearers, and so many communicants, — and yet, after all, so few in a way to be saved! But the only question is, Is it not true? — It is vain to shut our eyes against facts. It is useless to pretend not to see what is going on around us. The statements of the Bible and the facts of the world we live in will lead us to the same conclusion: Many are being lost, and, few being saved!
(a) I know well that many do not believe what I am saying, because they think there is an immense quantity of death-bed repentance. They flatter themselves that multitudes who do not live religious lives will yet die religious deaths. They take comfort in the thought that vast numbers of persons turn to God in their last illness and are saved at the eleventh hour. I will only remind such persons that all the experience of ministers is utterly against the theory. People generally die just as they have lived. True repentance is never too late:—but repentance deferred to the last hours of life is seldom true. A man's life is the surest evidence of his spiritual state, and if lives are to be witnesses, then few are likely to be saved.
(b) I know well that many do not believe what I am saying, because they fancy it contradicts the mercy of God. They dwell on the love to sinners which the Gospel reveals.
They point to the offers of pardon and forgiveness which abound in the Bible. They ask us if we maintain, in the face of all this, that only few people will be saved. I answer, I will go as far as any one in exalting God's mercy in Christ, but I cannot shut my eyes against the fact that this mercy profits no man so long as it is wilfully refused. I see nothing wanting, on God's part, for man's salvation. I see room in heaven for the chief of sinners. I see willingness in Christ to receive the most ungodly. I see power in the Holy Ghost to renew the most ungodly. But I see, on the other hand, desperate unbelief in man: he will not believe what God tells him in the Bible. I see desperate pride in man: he will not bow his heart to receive the Gospel as a little child. I see desperate sloth in man: he will not take the trouble to arise and call upon God. I see desperate worldliness in man : he will not loose his hold on the poor perishable things of time, and consider eternity. In short, I see the words of our Lord continually verified: “Ye will not come unto Me, that ye might have life.” (John v. 40), and therefore I am driven to the sorrowful conclusion that few are likely to be saved.
(c) I know well that many will not believe what I am saying, because they refuse to observe the evil there is in the world. They live in the midst of a little circle of good people: they know little of anything that goes on in the world outside that circle. They tell us the world is a world which is rapidly improving and going on to perfection. They count up on their fingers the number of good ministers whom they have heard and seen in the last year. They call our attention to the number of religious societies, and religious meetings, to the money which is subscribed, to the Bibles and tracts which are being constantly distributed. They ask us if we really dare to say, in the face of all this, that few are in the way to be saved. In reply, I will only remind these amiable people, that there are other people in the world besides their own little circle, and other men and women besides the chosen few whom they know in their own congregation. I entreat them to open their eyes, and see things as they really are. I assure them there are things going on in this country of ours of which they are at present in happy ignorance. I ask them to sift any parish or congregation in England, with the Bible, before they condemn me hastily. I tell them, if they will do this honestly, they will soon find that I am not far wrong, when I say that few are likely to be saved.
(d) I know well that many will not believe me, because they think such a doctrine very narrow-minded and exclusive. I utterly deny the charge. I disclaim any sympathy with those Christians who condemn everybody outside their own communion, and appear to shut the door of heaven against everybody who does not see everything with their eyes. Whether Roman Catholics, or Episcopalians, or Free Churchmen, or Baptists, or Plymouth Brethren, whosoever does anything of this kind, I reckon him an exclusive man. I have no desire to shut up the kingdom of heaven against any one. All I say is, that none will enter that kingdom, except converted, believing, and holy souls; and all I take on myself to assert is, that both the Bible and facts combine to prove that such persons are few.
(e) I know well that many will not believe what I am saying, because they think it a gloomy, uncharitable doctrine. It is easy to make vague, general assertions of this kind. It is not so easy to show that any doctrine deserves to be called “gloomy and uncharitable” which is scriptural and true. There is a spurious charity, I am afraid, which dislikes all strong statements in religion, — a charity which would have no one interfered with, — a charity which would have everyone let alone in his sins, — a charity which, without evidence, takes for granted that everybody is in a way to be saved, — a charity which never doubts that all people are going to heaven, and seems to deny the existence of such a place as hell. But such charity is not the charity of the New Testament, and does not deserve the name. Give me the charity which tries everything by the test of the Bible, and believes nothing and hopes nothing that is not sanctioned by the Word, (live me the charity which St. Paul describes to the Corinthians (1 Cor. xiii. 1, etc.): the charity which is not blind, and deaf, and stupid, but has eyes to see and senses to discern between him that feareth God and him that feareth Him not. Such charity will rejoice in nothing but “the truth,” and will confess with sorrow that I tell nothing but the truth when I say that few are likely to be saved
(f) I know well that many will not believe me, because they think it presumptuous to have any opinion at all about the number of the saved. But will these people dare to tell us that the Bible has not spoken plainly as to the character of saved souls? And will they dare to say that there is any standard of truth except the Bible? Surely there can be no presumption in asserting that which is agreeable to the Bible. I tell them plainly that the charge of presumption does not lie at my door. I say that he is the truly presumptuous man who, when the Bible has said a thing clearly and unmistakably, refuses to receive it.
(g) I know, finally, that many will not believe me, because they think my statement extravagant, and unwarrantable. They regard it as a piece of fanaticism, unworthy of the attention of a rational man. They look on ministers who make such assertions, as weak minded persons, and wanting in common sense. I can bear such imputations unmoved. I only ask those who make them to show me some plain proof that they are right and I am wrong. Let them show me, if they can, that anybody is likely to get to heaven whose heart is not renewed, who is not a believer in Jesus Christ, who is not a spiritually-minded and holy man. Let them show me, if they can, that people of this description are many, compared with those who are not. Let them, in one word, point to any place on EARTH where the great majority of the people are not ungodly, and the truly godly are not a little flock. Let them do this, and I will grant they have done right to disbelieve what I have said. Till they do this, I must maintain the sorrowful conclusion, that few persons are likely to be saved.
And now it only remains to make some practical application of the subject of this paper. I have set forth as plainly as I can the character of saved people. — I have shown the painful delusions of the world as to the number of the saved. — I have brought forward the evidence of the Bible on the subject. — I have drawn from the world around us plain facts in confirmation of the statements I have made.-—May the Lord grant that all these solemn truths may not have been exhibited in vain!
I am quite aware that I have said many things in this paper which are likely to give offence. I know it. It must be so. The point which it handles is far too serious and heart-searching to be otherwise than offensive to some. But I have long had a deep conviction that the subject has been painfully neglected, and that few things are so little realized as the comparative numbers of the lost and saved. All that I have written, I have written because I firmly believe it to be God's truth. All that I have said, I have said, not as an enemy but as a lover of souls. You do not count him an enemy who gives you a bitter medicine to save your life. You do not count him an enemy who shakes you roughly from your sleep when your house is on fire. Surely you will not count me an enemy because I tell you strong truths for the benefit of your soul. I appeal, as a friend, to every man or woman into whose hands this volume has come. Bear with me, for a few moments, while I say a few last words to impress the whole subject on your conscience.
(a) Are there few saved? Then, shall you be one of the few? Oh, that you would see that salvation is the one thing needful! Health, and riches, and titles, are not needful things. A man may gain heaven without them. But what shall the man do who dies not saved! Oh, that you would see that you must have salvation now, in this present life, and lay hold upon it for your own soul! Oh, that you would see that “saved” or “not saved” is the grand question in religion! High Church or Low Church, Churchman or Dissenter, all these are trifling questions in comparison. What a man needs in order to get to heaven is an actual personal interest in Christ's salvation. Surely, if you are not saved, it will be better at last never to have been born.
(b) Are there few saved? Then, if you are not one of the few already, strive to be one without delay. I know not who and what you are, but I say boldly, Come to Christ and you shall be saved. The gate that leads to life may be strait, but it was wide enough to admit Manasseh, and Saul of Tarsus, and why not you? The way that leads to life may be narrow, but it is marked by the footsteps of thousands of sinners like yourself. All have found it a good way. All have persevered, and got safe home at last. Jesus Christ invites you. The promises of the Gospel encourage you. Oh, strive to enter in without delay!
(c) Are there few saved? Then, if you are doubtful whether you are one of the few, make sure work at once, and be doubtful no more. Leave no stone unturned in order to ascertain your own spiritual state. Be not content with vague hopes and trusts. Rest not on warm feelings and temporary desires after God. Give diligence to make your calling and election sure. Oh, give me leave to say, that if you are content to live on uncertain about salvation, you live the maddest life in the world! The fires of hell are before you, and you are uncertain whether your soul is insured. This world below must soon be left, and you are uncertain whether you have a mansion prepared to receive you in the world above. The judgment will soon be set, and you are uncertain whether you have an Advocate to plead your cause. Eternity will soon begin, and you are uncertain whether you are prepared to meet God. Oh, sit down this day, and study the subject of salvation! Give God no rest till uncertainty has disappeared, and you have got hold of a reasonable hope that you are saved.
(d) Are there few that be saved? Then, if you are one, be thankful. Chosen and called of God, while thousands around you are sunk in unbelief, — seeing the kingdom of God, while multitudes around you are utterly blind, — delivered from this present evil world, while crowds are overcome by its love and fear — taught to know sin, and God, and Christ, while numbers, to all appearance as good as you, live in ignorance and darkness, — Oh, you have reason every day to bless and praise God! Whence came this sense of sin, which you now experience? Whence came this love of Christ, — this desire after holiness, — this hungering after righteousness, — this delight in the Word? Has not free grace done it, while many a companion of your youth still knows nothing about it, or has been cut off in his sins? You ought indeed to bless God! Surely Whitefield might well say, that one anthem among the saints in heaven will be “Why me, Lord? Why didst Thou choose me?”
(e) Are there few that be saved? Then, if you are one, do not wonder that you often find yourself standing alone. I dare believe you are sometimes almost brought to a standstill, by the corruption and wickedness that you see in the world around you. You see false doctrine abounding. You see unbelief and ungodliness of every description. You are sometimes tempted to say, “Can I really be in the right in my religion? Can it really be that all these people are in the wrong? “Beware of giving way to thoughts like these. Remember, you are only having practical proof of the truth of your Master's sayings. Think not that His purposes are being defeated. Think not that His work is not going forward in the world. He is still taking out a people to His praise. He is still raising up witnesses to Himself, here and there, all over the world. The saved will yet be found to be a “multitude that no man can number” when all are gathered together at last. (Rev. vii. 9.) The earth will yet be filled with the knowledge of the Lord. All nations shall serve Him: all kings shall yet delight to do Him honour. But the night is not yet spent. The day of the Lord's power is yet to come. In the mean time all is going on as He foretold 1800 years ago. Many are being lost and few saved
(f) Are there few saved? Then, if you are one, do not be afraid of having too much religion. Settle it down in your mind that you will aim at the highest degree of holiness, and spiritual-mindedness, and consecration to God, — that you will not be content with any low degree of sanctification. Resolve that, by the grace of God, you will make Christianity beautiful in the eyes of the world. Remember that the children of the world have but few patterns of true religion before them. Endeavour, as far as in you lies, to make those few patterns recommend the service of your Master. Oh, that every true Christian would recollect that he is set as a lighthouse in the midst of a dark world, and would labour so to live that every part of him may reflect light, and no side be dim!
(g) Are there few saved? Then, if you are one, use every opportunity of trying to do good to souls. Settle it down in your mind that the vast majority of people around you are in awful danger of being lost for ever. Work every engine for bringing the Gospel to bear upon them. Help every Christian machinery for plucking brands from the burning. Give liberally to every Society which has for its object to spread the everlasting Gospel. Throw all your influence heartily and unreservedly into the cause of doing good to souls. Live like one who thoroughly believes that time is short and eternity near, — the devil strong and sin abounding, — the darkness very great and the light very small, — the ungodly very many and the godly very few, — the things of the world mere transitory shadows, and heaven and hell the great substantial realities. Alas, indeed, for the lives that many believers live! How cold are many, and how frozen, — how slow to do decided things in religion, and how afraid of going too far, — how backward to attempt anything new, — how ready to discourage a good movement, — how ingenious in discovering reasons why it is best to sit still,— how unwilling ever to allow that “the time” for active exertion is come, — how wise in finding fault, — how shiftless in devising plans to meet growing evils! Truly a man might sometimes fancy, when he looks at the ways of many who are counted believers, that all the world was going to heaven, and hell was nothing but a lie.
Let us all beware of this state of mind! Whether we like to believe it or not, bell is filling fast, — Christ is daily holding out His hand to a disobedient people, — many many are in the way to destruction, — few, few are in the way to life. Many, many are likely to be lost. Few, few are likely to be saved.
Once more I ask every reader, as I asked at the beginning of this paper, — Shall you be saved? If you are not saved already, my heart's desire and prayer to God is, that you may seek salvation without delay. If you are saved, my desire is that you may live like a saved soul, — and like one who knows that saved souls are few.
The Church of England has had many bishops, some of them noble, others ignoble. Certain of them have passed away ‘unwept, and unsung’. Not so John Charles Ryle, the first bishop of the new Diocese of Liverpool (1880-1900).
A man of good scholarship, sterling character, wide sympathies, and tremendous teal, he accounted it no light thing to be entrusted with the work of organizing and advancing the cause of God and truth in a Diocese noted for its extensive industrial development and in a city of world fame. As a man of God he gave unfeigned allegiance to the plenary inspiration and sufficiency of Holy Scripture. Linked with this was his determination to strive for the maintenance of the Protestant character of the Church of England as by law established in the days of the 16th-century Reformation. Doctrine, experience and practice based upon and shaped by the pure Word of God were to him the essentials of the on-going life of the Church.
In the Liverpool Diocese Ryle faced a formidable task. Called to it at the age of sixty-five, when most men contemplate the retirement from the tensions and pressures of a life-work, Ryle laboured in season and out of the season with untiring pertinacity. To present-day readers he will chiefly be known through his expository and biographical writings.
In England Ryle stands in the foremost rank of those who have held forth the Word of Life and fought the good fight of faith. He is one of the Lord’s standard-bearers of the late Victorian age. The ‘healthful Spirit of God’s grace’ was upon him. Being dead he continues to speak to our backslidden generation.

Here Are 12 Of Narcissist Boss Signs
Do you have a boss who seems to think they’re always right? Do they micromanage your every move and take credit for your successes? If yes, there must be some narcissist boss signs; let’s find out.
A narcissistic personality disorder is an actual mental disorder. And it can make life difficult for those around them, especially their employees.
12 Signs Of A Narcissist Boss
You have to be very careful with a narcissist boss. They will try to control every aspect of your work life.
Here’s what to look out for when trying to identify a narcissist boss:
1. They’re Always Right:
If you have a boss who seems to think they’re always right, that’s a sign of narcissism.
Even if they’re wrong, they’ll never admit it. They always have to be right and do whatever it takes to make sure that happens.
Even if evidence proves they’re wrong, they’ll still try to convince you otherwise.
For instance, they might say something like:
“I know I’m right about this because I’ve been in the business for longer than you.”
However, their decision might not make sense and could hurt the company.
Moreover, they might decide without consulting anyone else, thinking that their opinion is the only one that matters. In this way, they can be very frustrating to work with.
2. They Micromanage Your Every Move:
Another sign of a narcissist boss is that they micromanage your every move.
They want to be in control of everything you do. And they will often give you precise instructions on how to do your job.
For instance, they might say something like, “I want you to do this report exactly this way.”
They might also start checking up on you frequently to ensure you’re doing what they want you to do.
Or, they might start calling you into their office to give you a “progress update.” But even though you’re doing everything they asked.
This can be very stressful and make it difficult to get your work done. This can make you feel like you’re not good enough or that they don’t trust you to do your job properly.
3. They Take Credit For Your Successes:
A narcissist boss will also take credit for your successes, even if they had nothing to do with it.
For instance, you come up with a great idea, which ends up being successful. They’ll take all the credit and tell everyone that it was their idea.
Or, if you work hard to complete a project and it turns out well, they’ll still take the credit.
They try to make themselves look good and take away any credit that you might have earned.
Or your boss might give you a difficult task to do, but they don’t tell you how to do it.
Then, when you succeed, they take all the credit and make it seem like it was easy.
Doing this makes them look good and makes you feel bad. You might feel like your hard work is never recognized or appreciated.
4. They’re Competitive:
Narcissists are also very competitive. They need to be the best at everything they do.
This includes being the best at their job, having the most successful team, and making the most money.
They’re always trying to one-up everyone around them. For instance, if you get a promotion, they’ll try to get a bigger and better one.
Or, if you make a sale, they’ll try to make an even bigger one. Or, if you get a raise, they’ll try to get a bigger raise.
This can be very difficult to deal with because it’s always a competition. And you can never seem to win.
It can also make it challenging to meet their expectation. They’re moving the goalposts constantly. And that can be very frustrating.
5. They’re Manipulative:
Narcissists are also very manipulative. They’ll often try to control people by playing on their emotions.
For instance, they might say something like, “I know you’re stressed out about this project. Let me help you with it.”
Or, “I can see that you’re struggling. I’ll take care of it for you.”
This may look like they are being friendly and helpful. But really, they’re just trying to control you. Because they will then take credit for your work.
They might also try to make you feel guilty if you don’t do what they want. For instance, they might say, “I’m only trying to help you. And you’re not even appreciating it.”
Or, “I went out of my way to do this for you. And you’re just going to ignore it.“
“If you don’t do this, I’ll have to do it myself, and I’m swamped.”
In this way, they try to control you by making you feel indebted to them. Or, they might try to take advantage of your good nature.
This can be difficult to deal with because it can make you feel like you have to do what they want. And that’s not fair.
6. They’re Jealous:
Jealousy is another common trait of narcissists. They’re always trying to one-up everyone around them.
And they’re always afraid that someone is going to outshine them. Thus, they’re always trying to keep everyone in their place.
For instance, they might get angry if you get a promotion or a raise. Or, they might get jealous if you’re doing better than them.
Or, if you get praise from someone, they might try to take it away. They might say, “That’s not a big deal.” Or, “You didn’t do that much.”
In the end, they’re just trying to make themselves feel better by making you feel worse.
7. They’re Arrogant:
Narcissist bosses are also very arrogant. They think they’re always right and that they know everything.
Thus, they’re never open to criticism. And they often think they’re better than everyone else.
And they often look down on people. For instance, they might say, “I’m the boss. And you’re just an employee.”
Or, “I’m smarter than you. And you’re just a stupid intern.“
This arrogance will often make them very difficult to work with. Because they’re not open to new ideas.
And they’re always trying to prove that they’re right. In this way, they can be very inflexible.
8. They’re Demanding:
Narcissists are also very demanding. They always want things their way. And they’re always expecting people to do something for them.
For instance, they might say things like, “I need this report on my desk by tomorrow.” Or, “I want you to stay late and finish this project.”
They might also demand that you do unreasonable things. Or, they might expect you to do impossible things.
The report they are asking for is impossible for you to complete within one day. And your workload is already too much.
Likewise, they might also ask you to do unethical things. Or, they might ask you to do illegal things.
Such as, they might ask you to fudge some numbers. Or, they might ask you to do something that could get you fired.
This can be very difficult to deal with because it can put you in a challenging position.
9. They’re Selfish:
Narcissist bosses are also very selfish. They only care about themselves and their own needs.
They’re never interested in other people’s needs or feelings. And they always want things their way.
For instance, they might say, “I don’t care how you feel. I want this done my way.” Or, “I don’t care what you want. You’re going to do it my way.”
It can make you feel like your needs and feelings don’t matter. And this entails that you’re always putting their needs first.
And, they’re never interested in compromise. So, working with them is always going to be a one-sided affair.
10. They’re Inconsiderate:
Inconsideration ends with narcissist bosses. They never think about how their actions will affect other people.
They’re always focused on themselves and their own needs. And, they’re never interested in other people’s needs or feelings.
They’re always focused on how something affects them. And, they’re never interested in how it affects other people.
For instance, your company might be going through some tough times. But they don’t care. All they care about is their bonus.
Or, you might be going through a difficult time in your personal life. All they care about is that you’re still working hard for them.
11. They Need Constant Praise:
This might seem like a good thing at first, but it’s actually a way for them to control you. Your boss needs to be the center of attention and will often seek out compliments.
For instance, they might take credit for your work or interrupt you when you’re talking.
When you first start working for them, they might come across as charming and charismatic. But over time, their true colors will start to show.
Not only will they need constant praise, but they’ll also expect you to agree with them all the time. If you don’t, they’ll get angry or defensive.
It’s what they call “narcissistic supply.” They need to feel like they’re the best and will do whatever it takes to get that validation.
12. They Hold Grudges:
Narcissists are specially known for holding grudges. If you cross them, they’ll never forget it. They might even go out of their way to make your life hard and difficult.
If you did something that they didn’t like, they’ll find a way to make you pay for it.
For example, they might give you a bad performance review or leave you out of important projects.
Or they might give you a tough assignments or micromanage you. They might also try to sabotage your work or undermine you in front of others.
Grudges are a way for them to maintain control over you and keep you in line. And only those do such who lacks in self-esteem.
And these are some of the signs of a narcissist boss. If you have a boss who exhibits these qualities, it’s important to be aware of it.

Want to Live Longer? Just Add This to Your Morning Coffee
Maxwell Rabb Published: June 1, 2022
How do you take your coffee? Whether it's with a scoop of sugar, a dash of milk, or black, coffee preferences are a personal choice. You may worry that a little extra sugar or cream can interfere with the health benefits of your caffeinated drink. A growing body of research has dispelled the myth that coffee might not be healthy, noting its anti-inflammatory benefits, high antioxidant contents and correlation with lower levels of several fatal diseases, like heart disease and cancer.
Until recently, this body of research warned that adding sugar to coffee undid all this good. Now, in a new study just published the Annals of Internal Medicine, we learn that coffee helps lower the risk of death – and that a teaspoon of sugar appears to be beneficial. The study looked at 171,616 people free of cardiovascular disease or cancer via data stored in the U.K. Biobank between 2009 and 2018 and found that coffee added to longevity, and sugar can help.
Study on Coffee and Longevity
The study participants consisted of 76 percent coffee drinkers, noting that 55.4 percent drank unsweetened coffee; 14.3 percent added sugar to their beverages; and 6.1 percent used artificial sweeteners The researcher conducted a follow-up after 7 years, finding that 3,177 deaths occurred – noting that 1,725 were attributed to cancer and 628 were attributed to cardiovascular deaths.
The paper claimed that participants who drank 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee sweetened with sugar per day were 29 to 31 percent less likely to die than those who didn't drink coffee. Researchers compared this with people who drink any amount of unsweetened coffee, which were found to be 16 to 21 percent less likely to experience premature death compared to non-coffee drinkers. The health benefits of sweetened coffee begin to taper off as participants drank more cups with 4.5 cups becoming associated with a slight increase in the risk of death.
"Drinking coffee was associated with a lower risk of dying whether or not you added sugar," Deputy Editor of Annals of Internal Medicine Christina Wee, MD, MPH, said in an accompanying editorial. "The authors defined moderate levels of coffee drinking as drinking one and a half to three and a half cups of coffee. They found that drinking moderate levels of coffee regularly was associated with a lower risk of dying from any cause, dying from cancer, and dying from heart disease."

A Touch of Sugar Won’t Hurt You in the Morning
The researchers accounted for external factors that would also lead to death including diet, smoking, pre-existing health conditions, air pollution, and socioeconomic status. The study detailed that while the unsweetened coffee drinkers had a marginally higher risk reduction than the sweetened coffee drinkers, the difference was in the same range.
"My biggest caution is to not equate this to 'Oh, I can drink any kind of coffee with loads of calories,' because there are other studies that clearly show that adding sugar and high levels of empty calories is not good for you. So just do things in moderation," Wee said. "What this study is really saying is that adding a little bit of sugar doesn’t take away all the potential health benefits that coffee might have.”
For the study, the researchers found that the average dose of added sugar for a sweetened coffee is approximately a teaspoon (4 grams). In her accompanying editorial, Wee suggests that people avoid major coffee chains’ specialty beverages that contain upwards of 15 grams of sugar per 8-ounce cup. The study also did not examine the effects of artificial sweeteners and different variations of creamers.
"Although we cannot definitively conclude that drinking coffee reduces mortality risk, the totality of the evidence does not suggest a need for most coffee drinkers – particularly those who drink it with no or modest amounts of sugar – to eliminate coffee,” Wee noted. “So drink up, but it would be prudent to avoid too many caramel macchiatos while more evidence brews."
Coffee’s Many Health Benefits
Coffee snobs everywhere can rejoice because more research continues to pour out claiming that the caffeinated beverage delivers major health benefits (when consumed in moderation). One study found that coffee (and green tea) can lower the risk of death among diabetics by 63 percent, noting that caffeine was responsible for the beneficial results. By adding both the antioxidants from tea and caffeine from coffee, diabetics can significantly reduce fatal symptoms.
Another study found that drinking coffee is responsible for lowering the risk of developing prostate cancer. The findings accompany a body of research that has linked coffee consumption to lower levels of liver cancer, breast cancer, and colon cancer. In moderation, coffee (sweetened or not) can help improve health, making it an important addition to any plant-based diet.

The Refugee Who Wasn’t
Christopher AllenSeptember 11, 2015
A lot has been said recently about this boy who drowned. While this is a horribly tragic event, it seems that there’s a strange twist to it.
The family wasn’t escaping war, but were trying to get to Europe to a better dentist.
The family set out on that fateful voyage, because dad wanted some new teeth. A relative had been sending them money from Canada to help him get his chompers. The teeth cost $14,000 where he lived, and found a better deal in Europe.
While this doesn’t diminish the tragedy of a young life lost, it does make you realize that you have to be careful when you look at who is using this tragedy for their benefit.
Leftists all over the world made the child’s death the latest poster for allowing the invasion of Muslims around the world. Those scumbags will use any tragedy to promote their idiotic narratives, and this one is no different.
Leftists have no shame. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2536 | {"url": "https://theblacksphere.net/2015/09/the-refugee-who-wasnt/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "theblacksphere.net", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:02:41Z", "digest": "sha1:CUFRS2X2RUOKUFV33QLRO7CE2GMUTVJN"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 946, 946.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 946, 1686.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 946, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 946, 56.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 946, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 946, 247.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 946, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 946, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 946, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 946, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 946, 0.48]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 946, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 946, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 946, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 946, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 946, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 946, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 946, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 946, 0.0237467]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 946, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 946, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 946, 0.01]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 946, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 946, 0.14]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 946, 0.68823529]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 946, 4.45882353]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 946, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 946, 4.545966]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 946, 170.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 23, 0.0], [23, 59, 0.0], [59, 200, 1.0], [200, 286, 1.0], [286, 519, 1.0], [519, 696, 1.0], [696, 923, 1.0], [923, 946, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 23, 0.0], [23, 59, 0.0], [59, 200, 0.0], [200, 286, 0.0], [286, 519, 0.0], [519, 696, 0.0], [696, 923, 0.0], [923, 946, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 23, 4.0], [23, 59, 4.0], [59, 200, 27.0], [200, 286, 16.0], [286, 519, 43.0], [519, 696, 34.0], [696, 923, 38.0], [923, 946, 4.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 23, 0.0], [23, 59, 0.17647059], [59, 200, 0.0], [200, 286, 0.0], [286, 519, 0.02222222], [519, 696, 0.0], [696, 923, 0.0], [923, 946, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 23, 0.0], [23, 59, 0.0], [59, 200, 0.0], [200, 286, 0.0], [286, 519, 0.0], [519, 696, 0.0], [696, 923, 0.0], [923, 946, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 23, 0.17391304], [23, 59, 0.08333333], [59, 200, 0.0141844], [200, 286, 0.02325581], [286, 519, 0.02145923], [519, 696, 0.00564972], [696, 923, 0.01321586], [923, 946, 0.04347826]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 946, 0.8724041]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 946, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 946, 0.12507337]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 946, -28.41773669]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 946, 32.01023994]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 946, -55.28790605]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 946, 10.0]]} |
The Financial Reasons Small Businesses Fail
|In accounting
|By Courtney Barbee
Almost every entrepreneur has heard the statistic: 80% of small businesses fail. There are many reasons this happens, and can include everything from market slumps to lazy owners. To enumerate every way a business can go under would be an endless, impossible task.
However, there are a few financial characteristics frequently found in struggling businesses. Here are the most common financial reasons small businesses fail.
There’s no plan. It’s not uncommon to meet new small business owners who have a brilliant product idea, a well-developed marketing plan, a slick website, and not one thought given to their budget. We’ve already written on the tough financial questions to answer before starting your own business, but the importance of a solid financial bedrock cannot be overemphasized. A well-researched budget and fixed goals is the key to surviving that crucial first year in which most businesses go under. Great customer service and spot-on marketing are not enough to balance out shaky financials.
Speaking of customer service…
Poor credit management and pricing strategies are bad for everyone. No one craves popularity like an entrepreneur and, when your business’s success is entwined with how well-liked you are, the urge to avoid offending anyone becomes even stronger. In the early days of a business, when there are only a few customers, there is a common impulse to let clients slide on late payments, or to offer frequent “friends and family” discounts. It’s easy to justify this with the logic with the idea that you need to establish customer loyalty, and you can tighten the reins a bit when you have a solid customer base. There are a few reasons this doesn’t work:
Clients who don’t pay on time aren’t going to appreciate the slack you’ve given them in the past; they are going to resent the restrictions you enforce in the future.
Likewise, your patrons who are just coming to you for the lowest price will quickly go elsewhere when your rates rise.
Lenient accounts receivable and cheap pricing might gain you a quick boost in early sales, but they are not a sustainable model. Delivering a product you can be proud of, at a price that is worth your hard work and can keep your business afloat (and actually requiring customers pay you that fair price) ensures that your customers the pleasure of patronizing your business for years to come. Because you have to remember…
Cash is king. Yes, it’s a cliche, but that doesn’t make it any less true. A great business model matters little if you run out of money before you can implement it. Managing cash flow is key to not just the health but the continued existence of your business. Here are a few of the most common cash pitfalls small businesses face:
1.) Insufficient capital. In all likelihood, your business will not be immediately profitable. So not only do you need enough cash to get your business started, but you need enough to allow yourself to operate at a loss for a while.
2.) Not having a large enough cash cushion. Think “Princess & the Pea” levels of padding. Regardless of how well you plan, the economy is unpredictable. Look to history for examples. No one expected the Boston Molasses flood which, in addition to the damage caused and lives lost, resulted in a nearly $11M settlement (in today’s money) for the responsible company.
3.) Over-investing in fixed assets. It’s great to plan for the long-term but, if you don’t plan for the short-term as well, your business will not get a long-term. Sacrificing too much of your cash for something like manufacturing equipment (even if you’re getting a great deal) can hurt you, as that is not a liquid asset and will be of no help to you in the event of an emergency (i.e. your factory flooding a major metropolis with 2.3M gallons of molasses). Think of it like a game of Monopoly; if you start building hotels too soon and suddenly need cash, you’re stuck selling all your buildings back to the bank for half-price, and you know bankruptcy is right around the corner. Only, in real business, instead of losing yet another game to your annoying brother-in-law, you’ve lost your entire livelihood.
Expanding your business is the ultimate goal, but maintaining cash flow gives you the solid foundation you need to build upon.
80% of new businesses fail, but that means 20% succeed. To be that 1 out of 5, have a plan, know your value, and remain patient. Better to start small and grow something big than to start too big and dwindle away.

5 reasons why Jayson Tatum can be the MVP
BOSTON — Jayson Tatum may have dropped 35 points in the season opener against the Sixers Tuesday night in a C’s win–but that may only be the beginning to a good season from the St. Louis native.
Tatum is easily a top 10 player in the NBA, and barring a major injury, his game will elevate to the top before the season is done. With that being said, he has the potential to be this years most valuable player. Here’s why:
Chip on his shoulder
After losing to the Golden State Warriors in six games last year best believe Tatum is coming back with a mission. He’s tasted the finals and wants to go back. And when you throw in that he wasn’t fully healthy in the postseason, now is a fresh start for him to put on a scoring clinic. He’s already showing to be more aggressive, more focused, and just an all-around better player. A lot of players in the league can score, but when you do it in a mean way, it makes a difference.
Celtics are still a great team
Let’s be real, the MVP award isn’t only about scoring (it’s a big part of it though) but winning also plays a large factor. There’s plenty of guys in the NBA that can score but won’t have major team success such as Trae Young, Anthony Edwards, Bradley Beal, and LeBron James to name a few. The Celtics are in the position to possibly win the eastern conference once again. Despite losing their head coach, they still have the core group of veteran players that are well aware that Tatum is still the leader on that team. Knowing that, it puts Tatum already on the radar for being in the race.
NBA fans want a new face
After Nikola Jokić won his second consecutive MVP season, it’s time for a new name to get the title. It’s not fair, but the truth is that the MVP award doesn’t always go to the best player in the league. Because if that were the case LeBron James would’ve won the title for many years in a row. The league wants to improve ratings and keep things interesting. What’s more interesting than the babyface guy with an adorable son, never seen in the tabloids for anything bad, and has a wet jumper? Tatum is setup for this title–it’s just on him to get it.
He’s still improving at a young age
Tatum is still only 24 years of age. And to accomplish all that he had and to get some of the best lessons from teammates and legends (Kyrie Irving, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett…) it’s truly special. Last year he averaged 26.9 points a game and that average has gone up every season since he got in the league. His numbers improve, he’s yet to have a major injury, and he plays a bunch of games without load management. His durability will play a factor in the later part of the season.
Great teammates
This may play some part into winning games but overall the Celtics have a great squad with good chemistry. When was the last time you saw an MVP that didn’t have good teammates around him? He won’t be double-teamed too often thanks to the threat that Jaylen Brown poses offensively. And Tatum won’t have to expend his time on the defensive side of the ball thanks to Robert Williams when he gets back and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart. Tatum has the tools surrounded him to succeed. He has a co-star, shooters, defenders, good role players and a true fan base to put him in a position to win MVP.

Celtics on 3-game winning streak after defeating Magic 126-120
ORLANDO — After the Celtics beat the Miami Heat in a rematch of the ECF Friday, the Celtics then beat the Orlando Magic the next day 126-120 to extend their start to the season to 3-0.
The C’s rallied behind Jayson Tatum’s 40 points and eight rebounds against Orlando as he led the way in scoring. However, starting point guard Derrick White also finished with 27 points. Both Tatum and White had 12 combined straight points in the fourth quarter to run away with the win.
“I mean, it’s early but (the MVP) has always been a goal of mine,” Tatum acknowledged. “When I was a kid, getting into the NBA wasn’t all I wanted to do. I wanted to be a champion, reach all those accolades and accomplishments, and MVP is obviously at the top of that list.”
The game was a close match through and through. Both teams sharing the lead. A high scoring first half left the score tied 68-68 halfway through.
With Al Horford out, that left the new pickup and New England native Noah Vonleh to start for the C’s at the center position. Vonleh only played 14 minutes but he showed to be valuable to the C’s success. Once again, it was Grant Williams who showed up for the green with 13 points, six rebounds, and 1 block. Malcolm Brogdon also chipped in with 13 points too.
Jaylen Brown only finished with 12 points while Marcus Smart had six.
For the Magic, they were keeping up with the Celtics’ 19 three pointers by hitting 15 as a whole. Former Kentucky Wildcat Terrance Ross led the scoring with 29 points and he was all over the court. He was running the floor, hitting the deep ball (5 three’s), and jamming the rock. Former Duke Blue Devil Paolo Banchero dropped 23 points and didn’t stop fighting for the Magic.
Another big difference was the free throw shooting. Celtics shot 83% from the charity strike while the Magic shot 65%.
Nonetheless, the Celtics showed their chemistry despite not having their big guys out there as starters. White and Williams stepping up will continue to be huge moving forward. This 3-game winning streak is being used as a signal to the rest of the league that the Celtics should still be respected.
The C’s will head to Chicago to face the Bulls tomorrow night at 8 p.m. The Magic will face the Knicks tomorrow night.

Nuri Sardines in Tomato Sauce
Premium, artisan sardines from Portugal, tinned on the day they're caught. These sardines are tinned with tomatoes, olive oil and salt. Simplicity done right.
£5.00Member Price
NURI is one of the oldest and most iconic brands in the preserved fish industry. Based in Matosinhos, just outside of Porto in Portugal, the best fish are selected and hand-tinned on the same day that they are landed, locking in the freshness and flavour. The name NURI is traced back to two origin stories… One is about the reaction of an Arab when he opened a tin of their fish. Seeing how the sardines shone, he exclaimed “NURI!” which means shiny, symbolising purity and perfection to him. The 2nd story, for the romantics among us, revolves around one of the company’s founders. On one of his trips to Spain, promoting the artisanal sardines he was so passionate for, when there he fell in love with a beautiful woman named – “NURIA” and so the name NURI was born.

Oprah Honors Ava DuVernay’s ARRAY With Peabody’s Institutional Award
by Francis Drew | Jun 8, 2021 | News | 0 comments
Ava DuVernay and her game-changing social impact collective ARRAY are out here snatching trophies!
Today it was announced that ARRAY has won Peabody’s Institutional Award. The one and only Oprah (Miss Winfrey if you’re nasty) presented DuVernay with the honor this morning. ARRAY is being recognized for its role in amplifying film and TV projects by people of color and women filmmakers. Selected by the Peabody Board of Jurors, the Institutional Award recognizes institutions and organizations, as well as series and programs, for their enduring body of work and their iconic impact on both the media landscape and the public imagination.
“As an Academy Award nominee and multiple Peabody and Emmy Award winner, Ava has leveraged her remarkable success to amplify and uplift women directors and storytellers of color,” said Jeffrey Jones, executive director of Peabody. “ARRAY has produced an incredible slate of projects centered around Black experiences and has led many inspirational initiatives to support up-and-coming filmmakers of color. It’s an honor to name ARRAY winner of this year’s Institutional Award.”
Founded in 2011 by filmmaker Ava DuVernay, ARRAY is as much a center for disruptive institutional and narrative change as it is a production house. Indeed, its creative campus in Historic Filipinotown, Los Angeles is itself a rejection of antiquated Hollywood thinking, not just in foregrounding absent voices and missing representations in front of and behind the camera by people of color and women, but in reimagining how projects are greenlit, created, produced, and distributed, and by whom. In ten short years, ARRAY has built the institutional infrastructure to produce award-winning content in film (Caste) and television (Queen Sugar), across genres of drama (When They See Us), documentary (13th), unscripted (Home Sweet Home), and animation (Wings of Fire).
In addition, ARRAY is deeply invested in the social impact of its work and has created educational and learning materials for much of its content, as well as programs such as LEAP (Law Enforcement Accountability Project) to commission art projects in the service of social justice activism. Understanding the enormous opportunity to address diverse hiring practices within the industry, the non-profit ARRAY Alliance recently launched ARRAY Crew, a database for below-the-line production personnel. It’s easy to see that DuVernay and her women-led team at ARRAY have not waited for permission to build, create, grow, and envision a more equitable future for neglected filmmakers, artists, and social activists. Through brilliant vision and old-fashioned sweat equity, ARRAY has crafted a new way forward in an industry heavily resistant to change.
Recent winners of the Institutional Award include The Simpsons, 60 Minutes, Sesame Street, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Kartemquin Films, FRONTLINE, and ITVS.
Could this be the first time a woman of color and a platform that champions inclusive narratives has won this award? I think so! I may be wrong, but I’m just going to go with my assumption.
The 30 winners of the 81st annual Peabody Awards will be named during a multi-day virtual celebration from June 21st through June 24th.

Daniel’s Prophecy of the 70 Weeks
Diana Lesperance May 14, 2012 August 25, 2015 Atheism, Fulfilled Prophecies
Atheists insist that the Bible is a man-made book, but I would like one of them to give me a reasonable explanation for how this prophecy could have been fulfilled so precisely.
The Old Testament prophet, Daniel, claimed that he was visited by an angelic messenger who told him this:
Daniel 9:24-26:
“Seventy sevens are determined for your people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy.
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah, the Prince, there will be seven sevens and sixty-two sevens; the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times. And after the sixty-two sevens the Messiah shall be cut off. But not for Himself; and the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.”
In Hebrew “seven” means “shabua” which means seven years, much like our word “decade” means ten years.
From the time of the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Messiah comes there will be 62 sevens and seven sevens. So if a seven (shabua) is seven years, then 69 sevens is 483 years (69 x 7= 483). In that time in history all of the known ancient calendars (Chinese, Mayan, Babylonian, Egyptian, etc . . . )calculated a year as 360 days. 483 years x 360 days is 173,880 days.
Was there ever a command given to restore and rebuild Jerusalem? Yes! According to Nehemiah 2, King Artaxerxes of Babylon, in the twentieth year of his reign in the month of Nisan, noticed that Nehemiah, who was cupbearer to the king, was sad and asked why. When Nehemiah told him he was upset because Jerusalem was desolate and he wanted to go back and rebuild the city, the king told him to go back and rebuild it.
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, Artaxerxes became king in July of 465 BC., and by Hebrew tradition when the day of the month is not specifically stated, it is given to be the first day of the month. So, the day of the decree by Artaxerxes was the first day of the Hebrew month, Nisan 445 BC. The first day of Nisan in 445 BC corresponds to the 14th day of March in 445 BC. Sir Robert Anderson of the British Royal Observatory confirmed these astronomical calculations.
So, if the Messiah was predicted to come 69 shabuas after the command to rebuild Jerusalem, that would mean we could count 173,880 days forward from the 14th day of March, 445 BC. This would bring us to April 6th, 32 AD. This date was also verified by the British Royal Observatory.
March 14th, 445 BC to March 14th, 32 AD is 476 years. (1 BC to 1 AD is one year. There is no year 0.) 476 x 365 days per year = 173,740 days. Add 116 days for leap years and 24 days for the time between March 14th and April 6th. 173,740 + 116 + 24 = 173,880 days. [See below in the “Comments” section for a discussion on the leap year calculations.]
What happened on April 6th, 32 AD? Jesus rode on a donkey through the eastern gate of Jerusalem to the shouts of “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” This day has come to be known as Palm Sunday. This was the first day he allowed his followers to proclaim him as messiah. Before this he said his time had not come.
In the 3rd chapter of the book of Luke, the Roman physician, Luke, says that in the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Jesus was baptized and began his ministry. The Encyclopedia Britannica states that the reign of Caesar Tiberius started on August 19th in the year 14 AD. Most scholars believe Jesus was baptized in the fall. Therefore, the fall of the 15th year of Tiberius’ reign would have been 28 AD. The day that a Roman ruler ascends to the throne begins his first year. Consequently, according to the 3rd chapter of Luke, the ministry of Jesus started with his baptism in the fall of the 15th year of the reign of Caesar Tiberius and lasted 3 1/2 years (4 Passovers). The 4th Passover of his ministry was the day of his crucifixion and would have fallen in the year 32 AD. The Passover in the year 32 AD fell on April 10th. The Sunday before that Passover was April 6th!
This day, April 6th, 32 AD was exactly 173,880 days after Artaxerxes gave the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem on March 14, 445 BC. These dates have been verified by the British Royal Observatory and many other scholars.
Daniel prophesied that 483 years (173,880 days) after the decree to rebuild Jerusalem would go forth, the Messiah would be revealed. That day was April 6th, 32 AD, the day that Jesus would first allow his disciples to proclaim him as messiah.
Not only did the angel explain the purpose for the coming of the messiah (that he would make an end of sins and reconciliation for iniquity), he also predicted that the messiah would be “cut off.” Jesus was crucified on Passover–at the precise moment the lamb was being sacrificed in the temple. Jesus was also crucified outside the city (as a scapegoat). This was to fulfill Leviticus 16:8.
The Dead Sea Scrolls (discovered in 1947) have confirmed that the book of Daniel was written before this prophecy came to pass.
The Bible truly is an amazing book.

NotAScientist says:
So a prophesy that need only be fulfilled by a man riding a donkey into a city was fulfilled by a group of people who had access to that prophecy? Or else, the people writing about it set it at that time.
And this is convincing…why?
Pingback: The “Mystery Writer” of the Jesus Myth | The Narrow Way
The events of our Lord’s First Coming fulfilled many prophecies of the Old Testament Scriptures. Some of the many prophecies fulfilled are: Genesis 3:15; Psalms 2:7, 16:10, 22:1,16-18, 34:20, 68:18, 69:21; Isaiah 9:6-7, 11:1-2, 53:1-12, 61:1-3; and Daniel 9:24-27. Misunderstanding of this prophecy of Daniel has led to many divisive and harmful eschatological schemes in recent times, so it is important to understand it correctly.
“Seventy sevens are determined for your people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy (Daniel 9:24).
Seventy sevens is understood as four hundred ninety years. Yet we also need to consider the symbolic and prophetic aspect of this number. Seventy times seven is symbolic of fullness and completeness: Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven (Matthew 18:21-22).” With the end of this full and complete time period true Israel, the Church of Jesus Christ, will fully establish the everlasting Kingdom of God, ruling it for all eternity from the New Jerusalem.
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven sevens and sixty-two sevens; the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times (Daniel 9:25).
There were three commands given by the Persian authorities to the Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild. The first decree was given by King Cyrus in 538 B.C., the second decree was given by King Artaxerxes in 458 B.C., and the last decree of 445 B.C. also by King Artaxerxes. If you add the 483 years indicated in Daniel 9:25 to 538 B.C you come to the year 55 B.C., with no connection to the Messiah. If you add 483 years to 445 B.C. you come to A.D. 39, several years after the Messiah’s death. However if you add 483 years to 458 B.C., you come to the year A.D. 26 several years before the Messiah’s Baptism. If you add the complete 490 years of Daniel 9:24 to 458 B. C., you come to the exact year of the Messiah’s death on the Cross; A.D. 33. The seven sevens of Daniel 9:25 points us to the Law of the Sabbaths and the fifty year cycles of Jubilee Years (see Leviticus 25:1-23). This law given to Israel commanding that all debts be forgiven every fifty years was a type of what was to be fulfilled at Golgotha when all debts would be forgiven. The chronological fulfillment of this seventy week prophecy is fulfilled in the last week that ends in A.D. 33. The Jubilee period of forgiveness continues through the last week of the symbolic period of fullness and completeness ending at the Second Coming.
And after the sixty-two sevens Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; and the people of the Prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, and till the end of the war desolations are determined (Daniel 9:26).
Jesus Christ is crucified, cut off, for the salvation of all mankind, not Himself, in the early Spring of A.D. 33. It is His people, the Jews, who bring about the terrible three and a half year siege of Jerusalem by the Romans; ending in the complete destruction of the city and its temple in A.D. 70. It was the failure of most of the Jews to receive and believe their Messiah that brought about these desolations; the physical desolation of war with Rome, and the spiritual desolation of their rejection of God.
Then He shall confirm a covenant with many for one seven; but in the middle of the seven He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, even until the consummation which is determined, is poured out on the desolate (Daniel 9:27).”
The subject of this whole prophecy is the Messiah, the Prince. It is Jesus Christ who is confirming this covenant, not the Antichrist as some believe. Some English translations state, “he will make a firm covenant with many for one seven,” but we know the New Covenant is forever not just seven years, so “confirm a covenant” or possibly “establish a covenant” has to be the correct translation. This is important because it reveals to us not only when the Lord’s earthly ministry would end, but also how long the Day of the Lord will be. The New Covenant that Jesus Christ began to establish during the three years and four months of His earthly ministry, and which He then confirmed by His Crucifixion and His Resurrection, has not been completely fulfilled. So He will come again, with Glory, to judge the living and the dead for the balance of the seven years, thus completing the establishment and confirmation of the New Covenant with the resurrection harvest of the Day of the Lord
That the temple sacrifices were ended when our Lord died on the Cross is confirmed by the tearing of the veil in the temple: And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split (Matthew 27:50-51). Also worthy of note, is the fact that when the Day of the Lord begins, the sacrifice of the Eucharist will also end in the middle of the seven years: “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days (Daniel 12:11-12).” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord‘s death till He comes (1 Corinthians 11:26).
The wing of abominations is the series of empires which manifest Satan’s dominion until the end of this age. These empires and their leaders will cause great tribulation for God’s Church until the last empire of Satan‘s dominion, led by the Antichrist, is destroyed after the one thousand two hundred and ninetieth day of the Day of the Lord. The desolate are the spiritually barren who will be judged and condemned at the end of this age.
Diana Lesperance says:
I’ve copied and pasted this conversation from my “About” page because it was about Daniel’s prophecy of the 70 weeks:
Dear Ms. Diana,
Thank you for your wonderful article “Daniel’s Prophecy of the 70 Weeks” (http://narrowwayapologetics.com/2012/05/14/daniels-prophecy-of-the-70-weeks/) which is a very informative article. You have very well explained the calculations of the 173,880 days which is also very useful to me.
I have a question: I was trying to do the calculation myself and when I tried to calculate using the 365 days per year calendar, you are correct on the 476 years from 14-March-445 BC to 14-March-032 AD. But with 476 years, when divided by 4 (which is 1 leap year every four years) I get 119 leap years and not 116 leap years. 116 leap years will be for 464 years, which is short by 12 years.
If we add another 3 days, for the 119 leap years (instead of 116), then there will be a total of 173,883 days. Can you help me with this math please?
Actually I was preparing a study material for our Prayer Cell Group and I am stuck on this now.
Thank you and God Bless you.

Honestly, after looking over your comment I have to admit you’re right. It is 119 leap years, rather than 116. That changes the calculations. I’m not sure how to respond to you, but I know there must be a solution because God’s Word is always true. I’m sorry for putting out false information! I will look into it as soon as possible. I may not have an answer before your Prayer Cell Group, though. So sorry, Diana Lesperance

Thank you for your quick response. After I sent you the mail, I went searching for this over the Internet and in a site by Dr. Chuck Missler, I found out the following statement: “Leap years do not occur in century years unless divisible by 400 therefore, we must add three less leap years in four centuries”.
Between 445 BC and 32 AD, there are four centuries – 400 BC which is divisible by 400, 300 BC, 200 BC and 100 BC, which are not divisible by 400, so they are not leap years! So the figure 116 is correct.
Even though I confess that I did not do my home-work properly prior to sending you the query, now I think we had a chance to learn it together and I believe that’s God’s way of doing things.
Once again, thank you for your great website where a lot of details are given. (May be you should add the comments about the missing leap days in your site as well)

Thank you, Thomas! Again, God’s Word is faithful and true. It can always be trusted. I will add the comments about the 116 vs. 119 days to my post. What a blessing that Chuck Missler was able to solve the mystery for us. Thank you for your encouraging words….Diana

I hope your Prayer Cell group meeting goes well and God is glorified through the message of Daniel.

Hi Diana.
Your candor in admitting the mistake about the 116 leap years is refreshing.
Let me state that I am a firm believer in the authenticity and accuracy of the Bible, and in predictive prophecy.
The problem is that many, many have taken these calculations and run with them, without checking them out for themselves. The problem with the leap years is just one issue of many.
Another is that date of Sunday, April 6, 32 AD being Nisan 10. The astronomical new moon occurred late on March 29, and thus there is no possible way that the 1st of the Jewish month began on March 7 in order for April 6 to be the 10th.
The fact of the matter is that if we sever off the 70th week from the other 69 and throw it in the future, we lose all ability to validly date the first 69 weeks.
Another serious issue, I think, is that the prophecy calls for 69 weeks, 483 years, and these calculations reduce it down to 68 weeks, 476 years. In order to squeeze 483 years into 476 years, the Jews would have had to sometimes celebrate Passover in October, because passover would rotate backward through the seasons. They never celebrated it in October.
If we instead start the 70 weeks with the decree of Ezra 7 in 457 BC, the fall of 457 starts a new sabbatical cycle of 7 years. The 70th cycle after that would begin in the fall of 27 AD, one of the years in the running for the baptism of Christ. His death would then be in the spring of 31, smack dab in the middle of the 70th sabbatical cycle after 457 BC.
I’ve considered various possible objections to this view, and I believe they are resolvable. In contrast, the issues with this view of the 70 weeks are not resolvable.
I see that I mistyped. It should read, “… and thus there is no possible way that the 1st of the Jewish month began on March 27 in order for April 6 to be the 10th.”

“Rodrigo Y Gabriela” – The Most Badass Guitarists You’ve Never Heard of
“Rodrigo Y Gabriela” are in a league of their own. If there is anyone else out there that sounds like them, I haven’t heard them.
They are a classical guitar duo that began their career playing thrash metal in Mexico. A few years ago gave up their electric guitars and band for a pair of classical guitars, and moved to Ireland.
The duo has found success writing their own material and covering tunes by some of their biggest influences. They play an inspired rendition of Stairway to Heaven, and have recorded covers of Metallica’s One and Orion.
(If you don’t have enough time to watch the whole video, watch the second half!)
Their fusion of metal, flamenco, and classical techniques is astounding to listen to. They play with such intensity and beauty. It’s is rare to hear a classical guitarist scream out to the audience, “Are you fucking ready?” before busting back into a scathing solo as Rodrigo does on their new live album “Live in Japan.” They don’t just cross or combine genres; they break them apart, and create something new, something completely unique.
They have a prominent place on a short list of musicians who have changed the way I listen to and think about music.
I strongly recommend you give them a listen. If you like instrumental or guitar music, you can’t go wrong with “Rodrigo Y Gabriela.”

Bring Change To Mind Club
Yasmin Marouf, Staff Writer|February 7, 2023
@bc2m_alisoniguel instagram
On Friday, Jan. 13, Aliso Niguel High School held its semiannual Club Rush during lunch to encourage new or returning clubs. Students signed up for clubs they were interested in, to help better themselves and their community. The Bring Change To Mind Club is a group focusing on the well-being of students.
Shine Lee (11), the Vice President of the club says, “Our club is a mental health awareness club and our main goal is to end the stigma around mental health at school because a lot of people, even indirectly, are affected by mental health.”
Adolescence is a time for young teenagers to have a healthy start in life. The number of teens reporting poor mental health is increasing. Building strong bonds and connecting to other students can protect overall mental health. Schools and parents can create these protective relationships with students and help them grow into healthy adults over time.
Shine Lee also says, “Many students either suffer from conditions or experience symptoms or know someone who does, so it’s a pressing matter that everyone is touched by.”
Poor mental health in adolescence is more than feeling blue. It can impact many areas of a teen’s life. Youth with poor mental health may struggle with school and grades, decision-making, and their health. Additionally, at least one in five youth aged nine to 17 years old, currently has a diagnosable mental health disorder that causes some degree of impairment, the most common being anxiety, mood, attention, and behavior disorders.
Shine Lee also says, “Our meetings are fun, relaxing meetings. A lot of our focus is on destressing because school is pretty demanding. We have many fun activities like making cards, posters, and origami too.”
Relaxation techniques can help students cope with everyday stress or even reduce stress symptoms and help students enjoy a better quality of life, especially if they have a mental illness. Being with others who share the same challenges, and using creativity to alleviate the pressures of life can make a huge difference!
“We’re trying to destigmatize mental health and make resources available and accessible for everyone at Aliso Niguel High School.”
Many people may view others who suffer from mental health issues in a negative way when in reality others’ judgments usually stem from a lack of understanding rather than information based on facts. It’s important for students to remember to accept their condition, seek support from friends and family, and help educate others.
“There’s a summit we go to every fall at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles where speakers come to talk about mental health and it’s importance, and club members can get volunteer hours. We even saw Joshua Bassett!”
Hearing others speak about mental health, even celebrities who are viewed as perfect by the public can help students understand that they are not alone in their battle with mental health.
Asal Flodius (11) says, “I didn’t know so many of my friends had the same feelings I did until I decided to reach out to them. It makes me feel better knowing that I’m not alone. Ever since reaching out, my mental health has improved drastically and I’m making more time to focus on myself.”
Instead of ignoring it, it’s important to remember that many others suffer from the same issues, and coming together can lessen the burden of handling the stress.
Shine Lee adds, “Our club is pretty big with over 75 members. Our meetings are held on the first Tuesday of every month in Ms. Rose’s room, 106. Our Instagram account is called “BC2M” where students can check for updates and reminders.”
To find out more about this club, visit their Instagram to get the latest updates on meetings. With so many resources available to the Wolverines at Aliso Niguel High School, this year will hands-down be the best!

It had been a long time since I was as much under influence as when I went to the Tivoli on last Friday night with Lukas Batteau and Steve Savage. Luckily for the project, we already recorded the – first American – Onder Invloed session earlier that day at Lukas’ home studio.
Steve grew up listening to the records of his grandmother and his parents. Songs by great singers like Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole came out of the record player and made Steve start singing. They still influence the way the extravert musician from Nashville listens to music and the way he writes his own songs. “Some people listen to the drums first, others to the guitars, I always hear the singing and the melodies first.”
From singing in a church band, he started playing on his own and, later on, with his band Beggars Fortune. Right now, he’s playing and writing on his own. The night before Steve played the Onder Invloed session, he convinced the Paradiso in Amsterdam of his skills as a musician, afterwards he convinced the rest of the city of his dancing skills. He did the same at Tivoli.
But most of all, Steve convinced the cameras he could still sing after a night out. One of the songs he played – ‘Driving With The Brakes On’ by Del Amitri – he claims to have changed his life. The other one is ‘Interstate Love Song’ by Stone Temple Pilots, both were huge hits in the United States.
Due to the fact this session was arranged rather last minute, Steve didn’t have the time to prepare more than two songs, but he made up by playing one completely new song, called ‘The Most Beautiful’ and a ‘cover’ of his band Beggars Fortune.

So, I’m sitting in the Airport on my way to Fort Myers Florida. Have some work to do there, and will be speaking to the current LEAD community leadership participants on Tuesday. The focus of the day is “making a difference.” I’m going to show a clip from Saving Private Ryan. Right toward the end of the movie, Ryan is looking down at the Captain (played by Tom Hanks) who is moments from death. The last words of the Captain are, “Earn this.”
The camera stays on Ryan for a few more seconds and then morphs his face into that of an old man staring at that same Captain’s grave at Arlington. I won’t go into the rest of the scene, but the entire clip is amazing.

Covey, many years ago, talked about beginning with the end in mind.

Staring Down the Execution Chamber at 76, Murray Hooper Still Says He’s Innocent

Murray Hooper just needs more time. He says this over and over again, with an urgency bordering on despair. He is six days away from execution and not ready to give up. But he doesn’t want to delude himself either. “I’m just trying to deal with reality,” he says. “I don’t like that wishful thinking.”
It’s Thursday, November 10. We’re sitting face to face in a small visiting room inside the Browning Unit, part of the sprawling desert prison in Florence, Arizona. An hour southeast of Phoenix, the Arizona State Prison Complex is home to the state’s death row as well as the death chamber, which was recently reactivated following a long moratorium. After eight years without an execution, Arizona has killed two people in 2022. Hooper, 76, who most people call Hoop, is supposed to be the third.
The visitation table has a red and black checkerboard in the center and backgammon points on the side. The company that produced it boasts its rehabilitative ethos, designing furniture that creates a “normalized environment for inmates and staff alike.” But this is not a normal place — and Hooper was not brought here to be rehabilitated. He was brought here to be kept in total isolation until he is strapped to a gurney and killed. In the month that he’s been on “death watch,” Hooper has been under 24-hour surveillance, with someone documenting his every move from a few feet away. This despite the fact that there is a camera inside his cell, he points out. “All that is designed, I think, to wreck you psychologically.” So he tries to block it out, reading as much as possible.
Hooper, who is Black, wears thick glasses and a bright orange sweatshirt. He has short white hair. He is uncuffed but wearing leg irons, along with a belly chain around his waist. An officer in tactical gear has halfheartedly informed me that I’m entitled to a stab-proof vest, but he clearly considers it unnecessary. I get a waiver to sign instead.
Hooper bristles at the absurdity of it all. He has not gotten a single write-up in his years on Arizona’s death row. “I’m not a threat,” he says. But the staff has to follow the rules, so they shackle him even when he is taken to shower. Hooper doesn’t believe that they want to see him put to death. “They’ve never said it, because they can’t.”
I’ve come to see Hooper because he wants to tell his story. But he is not here to reflect upon his life. And he’s certainly not here to demonstrate redemption or remorse. He wants me to know that he is innocent: that he was railroaded by crooked cops, corrupt prosecutors, and a judge who saw the state’s misconduct firsthand but sentenced him to die anyway.
This is a story Hooper has been telling in court filings for 40 years. He was condemned to die for carrying out a contract killing in Phoenix on December 31, 1980. His case turned on eyewitness testimony — a leading cause of wrongful convictions. Research into eyewitness accounts and the science of memory has rendered such evidence increasingly unreliable in the decades since his trial, even more so in cases where the accused is Black and the victim is white.
But attempts to present that research have gone nowhere, most recently at Hooper’s clemency hearing, where prosecutors laid out an ugly criminal history that includes gang violence in his native Chicago and a guilty plea for manslaughter for killing his girlfriend in 1968. Hooper does not deny this. He says he paid the debt society demanded of him — but that these crimes don’t mean he should be executed for something he did not do.
Hooper has written down some thoughts on thick, unlined paper, which he gives me to read. There are choice words about outgoing Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, who pushed to restart executions during a failed bid for Senate and requested Hooper’s death warrant — a “parting political stunt … to climb future political ladders” — and several more about his trial judge. But Hooper is a better talker than writer. If he could only get someone to listen.
Much of what Hooper says about his case is demonstrably true. He was one of a slew of defendants tried for a harrowing double murder that was infamous in its day. The state’s theory of the crime — a sprawling murder-for-hire conspiracy — was built on a mountain of misconduct, according to Hooper’s attorneys, from the repeated withholding of exculpatory evidence to cash payments to a key witness involved in the plot. Among the people convicted in the murders, some have been exonerated. Others have died behind bars. Of four death sentences, only Hooper’s remains.
Some have been exonerated. Others have died behind bars. Of four death sentences, only Hooper’s remains.
Today the best way to debunk or confirm his innocence claims would be to test key pieces of evidence linked to the crime. No forensic evidence ever pointed to Hooper. Of a dozen fingerprints found at the scene, only one was matched to anyone — one of the victims. A knife allegedly handled by Hooper has also been preserved. Just last year, the Arizona Legislature passed a law to allow advanced forensic testing in old cases where the technology to examine such evidence did not yet exist at the time of the crime. But the Arizona Attorney General’s Office has successfully argued against applying it in Hooper’s case.
According to federal public defender Kelly Culshaw, who was appointed to Hooper’s case earlier this year and has been scrambling to save his life, one of the first things he said to her was “we need DNA testing.” This was not a delay tactic, she added. At that time, there was no reason to expect that the attorney general would seek an execution date. Hooper’s federal habeas appeals had just concluded, and there were several other people on death row whose appeals had long been exhausted, putting them at the front of the line.
This fact seems to upset and unnerve Hooper as much as anything else. “How did I jump the line over all these guys?” he says. The obvious answer is politics. “Somebody made a phone call somewhere.” Whoever it was, he believes the state of Arizona is determined to stop his new lawyers from uncovering the truth about his case. “After I’m dead, the truth is buried with me.”
Legacy of Racism
Of the 190 people exonerated from death row in the United States to date, according to the Death Penalty Information Center, 10 have come from Arizona. In the 40 years since Hooper went to trial, the risk that a person could be executed for a crime they did not commit has spurred many states to abolish the death penalty altogether. Last year, Virginia became the first Southern state to end capital punishment; upon signing the legislation, then-Gov. Ralph Northam noted that the “racism and discrimination of our past still echoes in our systems today.” He invoked the case of a Black man who came within days of execution only to be exonerated in 2000. “Can we really, truly be sure that there aren’t others?”
The answer is plainly no. Earlier this year, the National Registry of Exonerations released a major study that confirmed what many people know to be true: that Black people are especially vulnerable to being accused of a crime they did not commit. When it comes to murder convictions, Black people were found to be almost 80 percent more likely to be innocent. The report also found the rate of official misconduct to be much higher among murder exonerations involving Black defendants compared to cases involving white defendants.
At a glance, such findings bolster Hooper’s innocence claim. But his case is also uniquely complicated. Of almost 10,000 death sentences imposed in the United States since 1972, Hooper is one of a tiny fraction of people who have been sentenced to die in two different states. When he was convicted of capital murder in Arizona in December 1982, he had already been sentenced to die in Illinois. In both cases, Hooper was tried by all-white juries. In both cases, he insisted he was innocent.
To most, the chance of being wrongfully sentenced to death in two different states would seem impossibly far-fetched. Yet the two counties where Hooper was tried — Maricopa County and Cook County — have long been notorious for wrongful convictions and official misconduct. Half of Arizona’s 10 exonerations to date have come from Maricopa County.
The crimes themselves were similar but unrelated: The first was an execution-style triple murder in Chicago in November 1980; the second an execution-style double murder in Phoenix less than two months later. But the two capital cases were inextricably linked.
Although Hooper was well-known to Chicago police, they did not arrest him until they found out that he had been named as a suspect in the Arizona murder, then brutally interrogated him for both. Although Hooper gave statements implicating himself in both cases, he later recanted, saying he had been beaten and coerced. Arizona prosecutors never sought to introduce his alleged confession as evidence. The sole eyewitness to the Phoenix murders was flown to Chicago to identify Hooper at a lineup conducted by local police, later testifying during the sentencing phase of his Illinois trial. That conviction and death sentence would in turn be used to sentence him to death in Arizona.
“It took 32 years” to correct the miscarriage of justice in Illinois, Hooper tells me. He insists the same would be true in Arizona if he had more time.
To Hooper and his attorneys, the role of Chicago police is a critical part of the story. Cook County is known as the wrongful conviction capital of the country; in a 2021 report, the Death Penalty Information Center found that the county’s disproportionate number of death row exonerations were “directly related to endemic police corruption.”
Hooper has long argued that police rigged the lineup against him by singling him out in front of their witness. The state has denied this, and there is no videotape of the lineup that would offer clues. But a defense investigator who spent the 1980s working as a Chicago cop interviewed one of the Phoenix detectives involved in Hooper’s case decades later. According to the investigator’s declaration, the Phoenix detective recalled a colleague joking about how a Chicago detective had patted Hooper on his shoulder during the lineup.
In 2015, Illinois revamped lineups to make it harder for police to consciously or unconsciously tip off witnesses. More significantly, the state has spent the past several decades grappling with a crisis of wrongful convictions stemming from the sadistic police torture of Black men in Chicago under former Police Commander Jon Burge. In 2003, these revelations helped push then-Republican Gov. George Ryan to commute the sentences of all 167 people on death row. In 2011, Illinois abolished the death penalty entirely.
Hooper has long said that he, too, was brutalized by Chicago police. One arresting officer “put his fingers down my throat” and threatened to suffocate Hooper with a plastic bag, he said in a sworn affidavit in 2006. Another officer, who described Hooper as one of “the most vicious men you will ever see” in the press, was accused of electrocuting suspects while working as Burge’s partner in the 1970s. Although he was granted immunity from prosecution in 2005, the Illinois Torture Inquiry and Relief Commission has since found allegations of his abuse credible in at least one case.
Hooper gets agitated talking about the Chicago police. But he smiles slightly when I ask if he remembers the moment his Illinois death sentence was commuted. He was on death row at Pontiac Correctional Center when a neighbor told him to turn on the TV. Ten years later, Hooper’s Illinois conviction would be vacated altogether by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, which admonished the Illinois Supreme Court for dismissing the evidence of racial bias in his case. By then, he had been transferred to Arizona’s death row.
“It took 32 years” to correct the miscarriage of justice in Illinois, Hooper tells me. He insists that the same would be true in Arizona if he had more time. This is why he wants to tell his story. “Even if they got me, at least it’s out there.”

Around 7:45 p.m. on New Year’s Eve in 1980, Verna Kelly and her husband arrived for a small party at the home of William “Pat” Redmond and his wife, Marilyn. They brought a chocolate pie and a bottle of whiskey. The Redmonds’ house was located on a cul-de-sac in “a quiet north Phoenix neighborhood of luxury homes,” as the Arizona Republic later wrote.
Upon letting themselves in, the Kellys found 47-year-old Marilyn Redmond on the living room floor. Her hands were taped behind her back, and she was severely injured, bleeding from her jaw from a gunshot wound. After cutting her free, the couple found an even more horrific scene in the master bedroom: Marilyn’s 70-year-old mother, Helen Phelps, and Pat Redmond were bound, gagged, and lifeless. Both had been shot in the head. Pat’s neck had been slashed from ear to ear.
Marilyn Redmond initially said the attackers were three Black men. A Phoenix police officer who arrived just before 8 p.m. asked if she could tell him what happened. “She said very slowly, with some difficulty, ‘Three black men came in and robbed us,’” he later testified. A detective who spoke to Redmond while paramedics attended to her said that although she was in and out of consciousness, she was able to answer some questions. After initially telling him that the perpetrators were “all negro males,” according to his report, she clarified that one was white. “She said that two or all three of them wore masks but could not be sure,” the detective added.
Redmond eventually gave more detailed descriptions, especially of the white man. He was clean cut, in a white shirt and “very good-looking suit,” she told an officer at the hospital. In a police report written on New Year’s Day, a Phoenix detective described asking her if she would be able to recognize any of the suspects. “She shook her head negative, stating that she was afraid to look at them.”
Nevertheless, three people were swiftly apprehended and charged: Hooper and William Bracy, both Chicago gang members who had been in town in early December, and a former Phoenix cop named Edward McCall. Although the gunmen had taken money and jewelry, suggesting a burglary gone wrong, in the months that followed, the state adopted a more sinister and convoluted theory of the crime: that the trio of hitmen had been hired to kill Pat Redmond to gain control of his printing business, Graphic Dimensions, which stood to gain lucrative contracts with Las Vegas casinos. At the heart of this theory was Joyce Lukezic, the wife of Redmond’s business partner who had allegedly masterminded the plot.
Although the gunmen had taken money and jewelry, suggesting a burglary gone wrong, the state adopted a more sinister theory of the crime.
But Lukezic insisted that she was innocent — and there was good reason to listen. The state’s theory stemmed almost entirely from a single, highly dubious source: a man named Arnold Merrill, who had himself been implicated in the plot and whose long rap sheet included a series of home invasions. In exchange for immunity for those crimes — and to avoid a death sentence for his role in the murders — Merrill provided a sweeping narrative upon which Maricopa County prosecutors based their theory of the case.
The man responsible for securing Merrill’s cooperation was Dan Ryan, an investigator with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, who led the probe into the murders. The appellate record in Hooper’s case shows that Ryan arranged for extraordinary incentives for Merrill that were withheld from the defense, including help with car payments, an illicit arrangement for him to receive Valium in jail, and secret conjugal visits with his wife. To ensure deals offered to Merrill and another cooperating witness, according to the appellate record, Ryan falsified pre-sentence reports to hide their criminal histories.
In a brief phone call, Ryan refused to discuss his conduct in Hooper’s case, saying he had “taken a beating” in the press. As for Hooper, “I’ll be quite concise. He’s gonna die,” Ryan said. “I’m not.”
Ryan’s conduct eventually backfired in Lukezic’s case, leading to two retrials and ultimately her acquittal. Lukezic’s ordeal later became a TV movie based on her memoir, “False Arrest.” The movie depicts Ryan as an unscrupulous bully who, under pressure to solve the high-profile crime, threatened and coerced witnesses. In the culminating scenes, Lukezic’s new attorney dramatically exposes the state’s malfeasance and clears her name. Her trial judge smiles benevolently as Lukezic is found not guilty, believing justice to have prevailed.
But Hollywood had little to say about the rest of the defendants or whether their convictions may also have been fatally flawed. Hooper remembers the series as “garbage.” The biggest difference between his case and Lukezic’s, he said, was that she was a wealthy white woman who could afford to pay the enormous legal fees it took to exonerate her.
By the time Lukezic was acquitted in December 1985, Hooper, Bracy, and McCall had been sentenced to death — and Ryan had resigned from the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. According to the Arizona Republic, the investigator became “an embarrassment to the office” and a liability in the district attorney’s bid for reelection. Yet prosecutors fought to keep their convictions intact, even as their larger case continued to fall apart. Robert Cruz, the man who allegedly hired Hooper and Bracy, was tried a total of five times before ultimately being acquitted. Today he appears in the National Registry of Exonerations.

A Controversial Case
Hooper and Bracy were the last to be tried, in the fall of 1982. The presiding judge was Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Cecil Patterson, who had been appointed to the bench two years earlier. He was the first Black Superior Court judge in Arizona. Hooper believes that Patterson was chosen to give the appearance of fairness at a trial otherwise rooted in racism. Of a panel of 120 prospective jurors, only two were Black. None ended up on the jury.
In a phone call, Patterson, who is now in his 80s, dismissed the notion that he was chosen for the trial due to his race. “That never concerned me at all because my viewpoint was that of being the best professional that I could be,” he said. “And if I was able to do that, they would get the best trial possible.”
A death penalty case tried in Arizona today would include two lawyers representing a defendant, with at least one ideally having experience in a capital case. Hooper was represented by one attorney, Maricopa County public defender Grant Woods, who was just a year out of law school. Despite attempts to sever Hooper’s case from Bracy’s, the two were tried together in the thick of ongoing controversy over alleged misconduct in the preceding trials. Lukezic’s trial judge had brought contempt charges against Ryan and Maricopa prosecutors for repeatedly withholding exculpatory evidence from the defense. They were eventually acquitted.
The controversy did not stop there. No sooner had opening statements begun than the defense asked for a mistrial after Deputy Maricopa County District Attorney Joseph Brownlee told the jury that key witnesses had positively identified Hooper and Bracy from a pair of photographs — evidence that Patterson had not yet deemed admissible. “I am going to consider seriously citing you for contempt,” Patterson told the prosecutors. He would later rule against admitting the evidence. But he denied the motion for a mistrial.
Hooper’s trial had been underway for more than a week when Woods unsuccessfully moved for a mistrial again upon discovering new information that had never been disclosed. Around 10 p.m. on New Year’s Eve 1980, the local sheriff’s office had received an anonymous phone call offering information about the murders. The caller, who was never identified, said that three Black men responsible for the killings had been arrested by Phoenix police earlier that night. Yet the men were never seriously considered as suspects. Their fingerprints were never compared to those taken from the Redmond home. Nor were police reports or a large collection of photographs taken of the men provided to the defense before trial. Woods learned of their existence while questioning a lieutenant on the stand.
In a phone call, Brownlee said that he never withheld exculpatory evidence in Hooper’s case. He also denied any racial bias during the trial, noting that Patterson was a “well-respected Black judge.” He sent me the Superior Court order denying forensic testing to Hooper, which found that such evidence would not have made a difference at trial even if DNA or fingerprints had been matched to someone else.
The defense’s allegations of misconduct did not necessarily lead to bad press at the time of the trial. One local columnist lionized Ryan as a former FBI agent “built like a pro football pulling guard” who chose police work despite his great personal wealth. “Ryan feels so strongly about this case that at one point, he loaned a state witness his own money,” the columnist wrote. In October, Phoenix Magazine published a profile titled “Joe Brownlee: A Prosecutor Who Plays Hardball,” quoting the prosecutor calling himself a “champion of the underdog” — and including an anonymous quote questioning the contempt charges against him. The article’s timing led the defense to file a motion for a change of venue, which was rejected.
Prosecutors centered their case on the eyewitness account of Marilyn Redmond. A Phoenix homicide detective who accompanied Redmond to Chicago testified that Redmond had picked Hooper and Bracy out of two lineups. Yet neither the lineups nor any of the related interviews regarding her identifications were recorded by police. This was in contrast to a videotape in which Redmond had failed to identify McCall. On cross-examination, Bracy’s attorney, public defender Steve Rempe, confronted the detective about the failure to record the positive identifications. “Now, we have the most crucial, the most important, the lady who was shot in the head, the person who would have the most knowledge as to who did the shooting. Why didn’t you bother to take the simple procedure of tape recording her so we would not have to argue about what she said or what she didn’t say?” Rempe asked. The detective said it would not have made a difference.
But such moments were no match for Redmond herself. As the star witness for the state, she was extraordinarily compelling, a woman who had not only lost her husband and mother, but also survived to identify their killers after being left for dead. Redmond confidently identified Hooper and Bracy as the gunmen.
On Christmas Eve, the jury convicted Hooper and Bracy on all counts.
“That should tell people something, that it’s possible to lock a person up and not let them breathe fresh air.”
After his client’s conviction, Woods was abruptly replaced by a different attorney for the sentencing phase of the trial. The lawyer presented no mitigating evidence. In February 1983, on the day Patterson was to sentence his client, Woods reemerged to address the court. He urged Patterson not to “order a murder” as the masterminds in these killings had. “What the government is asking you to do is just as vicious, just as cruel, just as cold and calculated and premeditated because it’s thought out,” he said. “I urge you to consider that when you are ultimately judged, it will be on that ground.” Patterson was unmoved. He sentenced Hooper to die.
Patterson said that the decision to sentence Hooper and Bracy to death was a heavy burden. Still, he has no regrets about his handling of the case. “Let me tell you the overriding conclusion that I still carry with me,” he said. “It went through so many appellate processes in the state and in the federal system and not a single one of them reversed. That to me was the proof of the pudding.”
Nevertheless, he was surprised to turn on the news and discover that the Arizona attorney general had requested an execution date for Hooper. He did not say he opposed the execution. But he was aware of Hooper’s lack of infractions on death row. In 40 years, he had been held securely without ever setting foot on the street, Patterson said. “This is close as I’m gonna say a thing about the death penalty. That should tell people something, that it’s possible to lock a person up and not let them breathe fresh air.”

Trying to Survive
In his first several years under dual death sentences, Hooper focused much of his appeals on challenging his Illinois conviction. In 1987, his Chicago trial judge rejected a challenge to his all-white jury, writing that he did not “detect or find evidence of a mind to discriminate.” That judge would later go to prison for accepting bribes in murder cases.
In the meantime, Arizona’s death penalty law was being challenged for giving judges, rather than juries, the power to determine whether to sentence a defendant to death. In 1988, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals declared Arizona’s death penalty law unconstitutional on these grounds. But the decision was short-lived. Two years later, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the ruling, clearing the way for executions to resume in the state. Although there were some 100 people under a death sentence in Arizona by then, nobody had died in the execution chamber since 1963. Politicians started pushing to restart executions.
Central to this effort was an unlikely figure: Hooper’s former defense lawyer, Grant Woods. After a couple of years as a public defender, Woods entered the state attorney general’s race as a death penalty true believer and won. He was the youngest attorney general in the country. He decried the frivolous ways in which lawyers sought to forestall their clients’ executions, declaring it his mission to reopen the death chamber as soon as possible. In 1992, he personally witnessed the state’s first execution in 29 years.
In a special report on the death penalty, the Tucson Citizen contrasted Woods’s hard-line position on capital punishment with his impassioned plea to spare Hooper’s life. Woods told the paper that he’d merely been doing his job. “Some of the best work I ever did as an attorney was for him,” he said. But Hooper felt betrayed by his former lawyer, who had told him repeatedly that nobody deserved to take another person’s life. “I honestly felt at the time he meant that,” he told the newspaper.
Rempe, who represented Bracy at trial, does not remember being surprised by Woods’s death penalty push. “He was a politician,” he said. “That explains some things.”
By the time Woods ended his tenure as attorney general in 1999, 19 people had been killed in Arizona’s death chamber. Three years later, in Ring v. Arizona, the U.S. Supreme Court revisited the question of whether Arizona’s sentencing scheme was constitutional. This time it concluded that juries, not judges, should decide whether a person should be sentenced to death, overturning its own 1990 decision. But the ruling was not retroactive. It would make no difference in Hooper’s case.
Hooper’s Illinois death sentence was commuted the following year. But it was not until 2006, after years in general population, that he was moved to Arizona’s death row in the dead of night. His arrival to the desert prison was crushing. In Illinois, he had freedom of movement, recreation, and contact visits with family. In Arizona, he had none of those things.
“He was very concerned that once I started to learn about his case that I would think that he did those things.”
It was during this period that Hooper began corresponding with Molly Keogh, a Delaware mental health therapist who had found him through a pen pal program offered by her church. Keogh was no stranger to the death penalty. As part of her job, she had once evaluated people on Delaware’s death row. Some of those men were eventually executed, including one whom she believed to be innocent.
Keogh’s correspondence with Hooper developed into a friendship. Letters led to regular phone calls; they discussed books and politics and especially Keogh’s family. “He very interested in my life. My family, my husband, my children,” she said. He thrived on hearing about family gatherings, wanting to know every detail. “It really excited him to just hear about people living their lives, you know?” For a long time, they did not discuss his case. “He was very concerned that once I started to learn about his case that I would think that he did those things,” she said. When they eventually did broach the topic, Keogh said, “What he wanted me to know is that he did not do it. And that was as simple as that.”
Shortly after Hooper got his execution date, Keogh traveled to Arizona with her daughter to meet him in person. He was taller than she expected, which made them laugh. But otherwise, it was like any other conversation, picking up where they’d left off. Afterward, she went with her daughter to the Grand Canyon, later sending photos to Hooper. “He just talks about that like it was the greatest thing.”
Hooper seemed reluctant to discuss his family during our visit. Along with his parents, three of his four siblings are now deceased. He has a brother who has been in touch with him since he got his execution date. But he does not have the means to travel to Arizona, nor does Hooper want him to. “He’s just trying to survive,” he said.
A week before I met Hooper, the Arizona Board of Executive Clemency voted to deny him clemency following a six-hour hearing. Keogh spoke briefly via a video link. She described Hooper as a steadfast friend and contrasted him with some of the broken men she had met on Delaware’s death row, who had difficulty showing compassion for others. “That is not the case with Murray Hooper.”
Hooper did not attend the hearing. Neither did Marilyn Redmond, who is now 89 years old. A prosecutor for the state said she no longer wanted to be involved in the case. In recent months, Redmond had undergone surgery related to complications she still suffers from the injuries inflicted decades ago. The prosecutor read an old letter from Redmond, which the office had kept on file. She stood by her identification of Hooper. “Any mention of clemency is unthinkable and I know you will not consider it.”
Hooper’s lawyers reiterated his innocence. They repeated what Hooper maintained at trial: that he was in Chicago on New Year’s Eve 1980. They emphasized the state’s incentivized witnesses, the lack of physical evidence linking him to the scene, and the danger of relying on eyewitness identification to put a man to death. They also shared a disturbing discovery they had made on the eve of the hearing, which pointed to another piece of evidence that had been withheld at trial. In the state’s letter to the clemency board, prosecutors had written that before Marilyn Redmond identified Hooper in Chicago, she had previously failed to identify him in a “paper lineup.” No photo lineup had never been disclosed.
An expert who testified about the science of memory and eyewitness identification told the board that he considered this new information “very important.” Scientific research has shown that memories of traumatic experiences are susceptible to being shaped by “post-event information,” he explained. Despite Redmond’s detailed trial testimony, there was considerable evidence that her original memory of the crime had been extremely hazy. If it was true that she had seen a photo of Hooper but failed to identify him, it was further proof that her subsequent selection of Hooper in Chicago was not based on a strong memory but on other factors.
But at the hearing, prosecutors dismissed the line in the letter as an honest mistake. It was referring to a composite drawing that had been shown to Redmond, they said, insisting that there was no photo lineup. Culshaw, Hooper’s lead attorney, filed an emergency motion asking for access to the state’s files.
On Monday, that motion was denied. “This court accepts the state’s explanation,” the judge wrote.
Update: November 16, 2022
Murray Hooper was executed by lethal injection on November 16. His time of death was 10:34 a.m., according to the Arizona Department of Corrections. According to reports from media witnesses, the execution was delayed for 25 minutes while prison personnel struggled to find a vein, ultimately inserting a catheter into his femoral vein. His last words were, “It’s all been said, let it be done. Don’t be sad for me. Don’t cry. I’ll see you later. Let’s go.”

In each person's life there are events that forever change their course. Twenty-seven year old Stephanie experienced two of these events in fourteen days; the birth of her only child and discovery that she has an 8 percent chance of living. She is haunted by the thought that this baby will only know her through pictures, until she makes that thought her motivation to survive. Michael Schnabel, Stephanie's father, tells the story of survival and how three generations of a family respond to crisis. Stephanie's courage is fueled by her son's deep brown eyes and unconditional love. Her faith comes from the belief that something greater than us provides what we need, when we need it. A graduate of Northern State University, Schnabel developed his passion for writing and storytelling during his thirty-year career at Bristol-Myers Squibb.

Cristina Kirchner reappears on Friday in Viedma
the vice president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner confirmed that, one day after reading the arguments of the sentence against him in the Highway case, he is going to give a keynote speech this Friday in the town of Viedma, Rio Negrowill be at 18 and is called: “Hegemony or consensus? Rupture of the democratic pact in a bi-monetary economy: inflation and IMF, debt crisis and political fragmentation”.
The conference will be held during the award ceremony of an honorary doctorate that the University of Río Negro will give him. The event will also be the prelude to the act that the Kirchner organizations will hold the next day, in the town of Avellaneda, to request that the ban on the vice president be lifted and that she be the candidate of Peronism in 2023.
The proscription and the PASS
While the sectors that identify with CFK continue to work on the clamor operation, President Alberto Fernández continues in “campaign mode”, touring the provinces. This Monday, for example, he was in Santiago del Estero for the inauguration of a school. From Kirchnerism they returned to the charge with the defense of the vice president and a series of leaders came out to reaffirm that Cristina has to be the space candidate. In addition, several insist on the position of maintaining that it is not a good option for Peronism to go to a Paso, in which one of the candidates is the President. Fernández does not give up and continues without giving definitions in this regard.
“There are no conditions for a reelection of Alberto Fernández this year. The moderate variant is sold out”launched the Buenos Aires minister, Andrés “Cuervo” Larroque and amidst other considerations. “I have doubts that the President intends for Peronism to win,” he said. The Cámpora leader, who is also one of the organizers of the 11M event, explained that with the mobilization that day and the that they have planned for the following weeks until the closing of the lists on June 24, “they seek to break a situation of proscription.”We have to accumulate forces to generate the conditions and that she then defines. Beyond the candidacies, a system of power must be faced and this requires the unity of all sectors and political, union and social leadership,” he clarified.
Fight and Come Back Cristina
Mario Seccothe mayor of Ensenada who is also part of the organization of the act that will be held in Avellaneda, indicated: “We do not make empty politics. We fight with those who really plunder our country. We do not hide behind a desk to see how we We accommodate. We do politics based on our convictions and, If we raise the Fight and Come Back, it is because we stand on our hands again so that CFK has the power“. “We are not going to shrink because they have the justice of Comodoro Py. We are going to break the ban and we are going to lead the fight,” he said vehemently.
Another of those who came out in tandem to make statements in favor of the vice president was senator Oscar Parrilli. During a radio interview, and as prior to the reading of the arguments of the sentence by the Federal Oral Court 2 that will be this Thursday, the senator said that CFK “are taking away civil and political rights”, and that this situation is “comparable to what it was in ’55 with the persecution of Peronism.” Then, Parrilli added: “The degree of abuse, of persecution that took place in these four years (by the government of Mauricio Macri) ended in this sentence. A fabricated trial. The special judges appointed by Macri are the ones who hold these trials.”
The magisterial conference in Río Negro
As explained in a document by the authorities of the University of Río Negro, the honoris causa is given to “people of exceptional merit who have contributed significantly to the social, scientific and cultural progress of the Nation”, and in particular to Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, “for the relevant role it has played in the development of the Argentine university system in general and in the creation and development of the National University of Río Negro”. The university will make a series of distinctions throughout the year to celebrate 40 years of democracy and which includes, in addition to Kirchner, the academics Rita Segato, Dora Barrancos and Catalina Wainerman.
For this activity, the FdT senator for Río Negro, Martin Donate. The Rector of the University of Río Negro, Anselmo Torresmeanwhile, indicated that “the Vice President of the Nation is the personification of the transcendent democratic elements of our institutional identity. She is a reference, not only of regional politics, but an outstanding personality in the conquest of rights.

LANG LANG: THE DISNEY BOOK | London, Royal Albert Hall
RECOMMENDED: Global superstar pianist Lang Lang and the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra return to London’s Roy… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The Prickle (@ThePrickle) October 05, 2022
Global superstar pianist Lang Lang returns to London’s Royal Albert Hall, for an unforgettable evening of music celebrating the upcoming centenary of The Walt Disney Company, which was founded in 1923. Lang Lang’s 55-minute album featuring new solo and orchestral arrangements of classic Disney tunes was released in September earlier this year, to the delight of his fans worldwide.
At this celebratory event, Lang Lang is joined by the entire Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, to perform favourite melodies that span the Disney centenary – from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and The Jungle Book (1967), to Beauty and the Beast (1991) and Encanto (2021). Lang Lang also draws on material from Disney’s iconic theme park attractions, like a solo theme and variations on “It’s a Small World”.
This enchanting musical journey offers the perfect half-term treat for young and old alike, with the magic of Disney brought to life by one of the world’s greatest pianists – alongside the sumptuous sound of a full symphony orchestra. It’s all part of Lang Lang’s aim to encourage the exploration of classical music.
With more guest artists still to be announced (on the album, Lang Lang partners with guest star singers like Andrea Bocelli and instrumentalists like Guo Gan), this promises to be one of the highlights of the Royal Albert Hall’s autumn calendar.
Tickets for Mon 24 Oct 2022 are available on the Royal Albert Hall’s website, priced £55.75 – £109.50.

“I wanted to hear it, so I kept it in check”… A transfer student who wants to recover his reputation, waits for fans’ support
“I wanted to hear the sound, so I tried to keep it in check.”
Pitcher Yoon Myeong-jun (34), now a Lotte Giants player, had a ‘provocation (?)’ against Lotte fans when he was with Doosan in the past. He explained the reason for the provocation, saying, “I wanted to hear the sound, so I deliberately checked it.” “Lotte fans’ enthusiasm is now known to everyone even if they don’t say it. I thought the cheering was really passionate and cool.”
After graduating from Dongseong High School and Korea University in 2012 and being nominated by Doosan as the 6th overall pick in the first round, Yoon Myung-jun was a pitcher who was silent and did his part in the pitching team at Doosan. He recorded 28 wins, 13 losses, 15 saves and 63 holds with a 4.43 earned run average in 389 games. He took on the role of the bullpen’s bullpen, sometimes as a finisher, sometimes as a winning group, and sometimes as a long relief, and accumulated considerable stepping stones in building the Doosan dynasty.
However, last year, Yoon Myung-jun only recorded an ERA of 8.46 with 1 win and 1 loss in 20 games. It was the worst season of my career. In the end, this one sluggish season drove Yoon Myung-jun’s career to the brink.
At the edge of the cliff, Lotte reached out to Yoon Myung-jun with a helping hand. Yoon Myeong-jun, whom I met at Lotte’s Guam spring camp, said, “Last year, I tried many things, but I went through too many trials and errors. I tried this and that, but I couldn’t settle down. Since my grades weren’t coming out, I was so depressed and my confidence was low,” he said. “Baseball life Isn’t it the age that could be the end of ‘? These days, you have to have skills to play baseball unconditionally, but I am so grateful that you gave me one more chance anyway.” 먹튀검증
He changed his uniform for the first time. However, there were players everywhere who helped the team adapt and could be relied on. He said, “(Kim) Wonjoong, my junior in high school, taught me a lot, and the seniors took good care of me and played their role well.” Noh) Jinhyeok is also a high school friend,” he said, “I somehow had more connections with Lotte than I thought. Also, Coach Bae Youngsoo is there. I didn’t have much difficulty adapting.”
A reunion with coach Bae Young-soo, who he worked with at Doosan last year, can also be a new motivation for Yoon Myung-jun. Coach Bae emphasized “recovery of honor” for new recruited pitchers such as Yun Myeong-jun, Cha Woo-chan, Kim Sang-soo, and Shin Jeong-rak. He said, “Coach Young-Soo Bae told the veteran pitchers who came with him about his wish, ‘I hope we can finish in a good mood.’
He also thought that coach Bae Young-soo’s existence was essential to the turning point of his career. He said, “I know the coach’s style well again. I also know that he is cold-hearted. And I came to Lotte because I trusted the coach. I think he will calmly tell me whether I should play more baseball or not.”
He entered Guam as the camp selection team and made his body fit, and on the 2nd, the first day of the entire camp, he even finished pitching in the bullpen. He explained, “The workout is the same wherever you are. And the first day is always exciting. I think it was similar. But it felt different because I was wearing a new uniform.”
There is no other resolution. He said, “I don’t have a personal goal. Now I’ve moved the team, but I feel that the team is thinking of winning, so I hope I can help them achieve good results by being a little bit helpful.” I will work really hard, so I hope you will watch over me and support me a lot.”

A slot is a narrow notch, groove, or opening in something. It can be a keyway in a piece of machinery or a slit for a coin in a vending machine, among many other things.
In football, a slot receiver is a player who lines up in the slot area — the space between the line of scrimmage and the wideout or outside receiver. These players are a big part of any successful offense, and they can do just about anything on the field.
They are very fast and have a lot of route-running skills, and they can also be a big help to the running game because they are capable of stretching the defense vertically.
The slot receiver is also known as a nickel receiver or slot corner, and they are a very important component of any NFL team. They are typically smaller receivers who can stretch the defense vertically and run a variety of routes.
Some of the best slot receivers in the NFL today include Tyreek Hill, Keenan Allen, and Cole Beasley. These guys have a wealth of experience and are versatile players who can play in a wide variety of ways on the field.
These receivers are also good at blocking, and they will often be used in a variety of different types of plays. They can also be a good decoy for other players in the game because they are often able to get away from their defenders before they get to the ball.
This type of receiver is becoming more and more popular in the NFL because they are extremely versatile and have a lot of skill. Some of the top slot receivers in the game are:
There are a few things you can do to increase your chances of winning at slots, and they all involve strategy and luck. First, you need to choose a game that has the highest RTP. This will increase your chance of hitting the jackpot and winning big.
Next, you need to learn how to play slot machines correctly. This means learning how to predict the outcomes of the reels and the paylines. This is a skill that can take time and practice, but it’s worth it in the long run.
Finally, you need to know when to stop playing. It can be easy to get carried away with the excitement of a slot machine and start playing it too much, but you should stop when you are no longer winning or losing money consistently.
A good attitude is also an essential element of slot play. You need to have a positive mindset and be willing to cut losses when necessary. This is because slot machines have a computer system that will prevent you from winning over and over again.
This is one of the reasons why it’s always a good idea to check out slot review sites like kiwigambler before you play online. These sites will provide you with all the relevant information about each slot and allow you to make the right choices for your money. They will also let you know how many times a certain symbol has been hit and how many times it hasn’t. You can also find out whether or not a certain feature is available, and if it’s worth the extra money you’re spending.

She seems to have kept her relationship to a smaller circle than her sisters Alexa and Juliette Dell. Maybe she’s single and works hard to get ahead in her career. The 27-year-old woman is now single and focused on advancing her career.
When discussing Kira’s work history, it is important to note that she started as an Equine Therapy Instructor at Heart House: Thoughtful Horse Equestrian Center (2006-2007). For both Casa Marianella Inc and the Vassar College English Language Learner Outreach Program, she taught English to students in 2011. She started teaching at Harlem Village Academics in 2017 for the Kindergarten class.
Her current position is that of an entrepreneur at Endeavor Global Inc. With the help of its extensive business network of 2,500+ local and global business leaders, Endeavor has assisted over 50,000 candidates and picked 1,500 entrepreneurs from among 1,000 enterprises. These business owners have contributed over $10 billion in sales and spawned over 650,000 new employees in 2016.
She has amassed considerable wealth as an American entrepreneur at Endeavor. Kira’s wealth is reportedly in the tens of millions of dollars. However, she has been cagey about how much she earns annually. She inherits the Dell name and the fortune of her father, Michael Dell, whose fortune is estimated to be approximately $ 35 billion U.S. dollars, in addition to her salary and net worth.

SEA LIFE Aquarium at Mall of America
The Unofficial Guides 〉 Mall of America 〉 SEA LIFE Aquarium at Mall of America
SEA LIFE Aquarium at Mall of America Offers Great Opportunities for Learning
Much like Mall of America’s theme park, the SEA LIFE aquarium has gone through a number of transitions. A few years after opening, in 1996, the first Mall of America aquarium opened as Underwater World.
Four years later the name changed to Underwater Adventures Aquarium. Finally, in 2011, the now Merlin Entertainments–owned aquarium transitioned to the well-known SEA LIFE chain. We’ve experienced SEA LIFE Aquarium at Mall of America, as well as other locations. How does it stack up to other aquariums?
If you try to compare it to Monterey Bay Aquarium in California or the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, there’s no contest. Quite frankly, it’s difficult to compete with an aquarium that is actually situated a few yards from a large body of water. With that said, this is a neat little place. We joined a group of 3rd graders on a field trip, and they had a blast. The highlight for most of them was the underwater glass tunnel and the jellyfish. Little ones tend to enjoy the touch pools. In addition to field trips, there are discounted homeschool days and scouting opportunities.
SEA LIFE Aquarium: Ideal for Young Children, Even Better with its New Lower Prices
Prices have recently come down, and that’s a good thing, as we thought the former admission was a little high. These new rates seem a little more reasonable. Coupons are easy to find. For one, Sharky, the aquarium mascot, walks around the mall passing out coupons and posing for photos, but stacks of coupons are also available at local Dairy Queens and other retail counters. We recommend purchasing your tickets online. GoldStar.com offers discounted tickets, and you can save as much as $6 per person by going directly through SEA LIFE online.
If you frequent the mall regularly, the annual pass is worth a peek ($49 per person or $199 per household). Not only do you get unlimited entry year-round, but you also get a bevy of other discounts on guest admission, photo packages, behind-the-scenes tours, birthday party packages, gift store purchases, dive/snorkel programs, and the overnight “Sleep Under the Sea” program. Plus, you are the first to know about new exhibits, and the express membership entrance is certainly handy on busy days.
SEA LIFE is located in the E120 section of Mall of America. Opening hours are Monday–Thursday, 10 a.m.–7 p.m.; Friday, 10 a.m.–8 p.m.; Saturday, 9:30 a.m.–8 p.m.; Sunday, 10 a.m.– 6:30 p.m. Admission is $24.25 for adults and $17.25 for children ages 3-12. Admission is free for children under the age of 3.

Bariatric surgery vitamins are essential to the long-term health of bariatric patients. They help prevent vitamin deficiencies and reduce the risk of malnutrition.
The first step to choosing the right bariatric surgery vitamins | Bariatric Fusion after bariatric surgery is to learn which types are available. There are several different forms, including chewables and liquid vitamins.
Chewables are easier to absorb and may be better tolerated. They may also be more suitable for healing during the recovery process from surgery.
They can also be more convenient to take, especially if you can’t tolerate pills or if you have a hard time swallowing them.
Bariatric vitamins are usually recommended by your doctor or dietitian in conjunction with your weight loss plan. Your medical team will monitor your nutrition and provide a specific schedule for ensuring that you are getting the nutrients you need to optimize your health after surgery.
The Importance of Bariatric Surgery Vitamins for Long-Term Health
Most bariatric surgeries alter the way the stomach and small intestine absorbs nutrients, so it’s important to use a vitamin that was specifically designed for bariatric patients. These supplements are often more absorbed than over-the-counter (OTC) vitamins, and will help prevent deficiency-related complications.
Some of the most important vitamins and minerals that must be taken after bariatric surgery include Iron, Calcium, and Vitamin D. Deficiencies of these nutrients can result in serious complications such as fatigue, dizziness, and lack of muscle contractions, bone strength, and nerve function.
You can get your Vitamin D from exposure to sunlight or eating foods that have been fortified with vitamin D such as egg yolks and milk. It is also a critical mineral for the growth and development of teeth and bones. It is also necessary for blood clotting, muscle contraction, and nerve function. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2565 | {"url": "https://thevirginiaadvocate.com/bariatric-surgery-vitamins/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "thevirginiaadvocate.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:59:47Z", "digest": "sha1:NCJRIKH4OGCO3OIMLK6SD2ZFTQ565PRY"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1966, 1966.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1966, 3084.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1966, 10.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1966, 81.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1966, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1966, 220.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1966, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1966, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1966, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1966, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1966, 0.42]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1966, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1966, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1966, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1966, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1966, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1966, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1966, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1966, 0.04923077]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1966, 0.04430769]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1966, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1966, 0.01142857]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1966, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1966, 0.12]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1966, 0.55445545]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1966, 5.3630363]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1966, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1966, 4.78904529]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1966, 303.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 212, 1.0], [212, 434, 1.0], [434, 579, 1.0], [579, 704, 1.0], [704, 992, 1.0], [992, 1058, 0.0], [1058, 1374, 1.0], [1374, 1668, 1.0], [1668, 1966, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 212, 0.0], [212, 434, 0.0], [434, 579, 0.0], [579, 704, 0.0], [704, 992, 0.0], [992, 1058, 0.0], [1058, 1374, 0.0], [1374, 1668, 0.0], [1668, 1966, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 48, 7.0], [48, 212, 23.0], [212, 434, 32.0], [434, 579, 24.0], [579, 704, 23.0], [704, 992, 45.0], [992, 1058, 9.0], [1058, 1374, 43.0], [1374, 1668, 44.0], [1668, 1966, 53.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 48, 0.11111111], [48, 212, 0.0], [212, 434, 0.0], [434, 579, 0.0], [579, 704, 0.0], [704, 992, 0.0], [992, 1058, 0.0], [1058, 1374, 0.0], [1374, 1668, 0.0], [1668, 1966, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 212, 0.0], [212, 434, 0.0], [434, 579, 0.0], [579, 704, 0.0], [704, 992, 0.0], [992, 1058, 0.0], [1058, 1374, 0.0], [1374, 1668, 0.0], [1668, 1966, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 48, 0.0625], [48, 212, 0.01219512], [212, 434, 0.01801802], [434, 579, 0.0137931], [579, 704, 0.008], [704, 992, 0.00694444], [992, 1058, 0.12121212], [1058, 1374, 0.01582278], [1374, 1668, 0.02040816], [1668, 1966, 0.02013423]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1966, 0.16121489]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1966, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1966, 0.12301332]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1966, -74.45977106]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1966, 11.4281095]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1966, -55.13889262]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1966, 16.0]]} |
The Quest to Understand Why a Tribal Population Is at More Risk for Suicide

Just under a fourth of the members of a tribe in Arunachal Pradesh have attempted suicide at some point in their lives, a rate well above the national average. A new study has tried to uncover the reasons behind this worrying trend, and in the process understand suicides in isolated tribes and help them cope.
The Idu Mishmi are a Tibeto-Burmese-speaking tribe living in the Dibang Valley in northeastern Arunachal Pradesh. They are the largest sub-tribe of the Mishmi people found in Tibet and along the India-Tibet border. They are divided into 76 clans.
Hearsay had it that a lot of people in this tribe had attempted suicide. An anthropological study in 2014 had suggested the prevalence of suicidal behaviour among members of the Idu Mishmi. This was not surprising. Young Australian aboriginal men have the highest suicide rate in the world. The incidence of suicide among Canada’s Inuits is about 10-times the national average.
Many of these people have been forcibly displaced from their land and communities, have faced ridicule from their new neighbours, and believe ending their life is the best option. The other major observed reason has been addiction to alcohol or drugs, leading to behavioural issues.
These reasons are sociocultural. Some other studies have shown that there could also be a biological basis. One observed that 90% of those committing suicide had a mental disorder.
Such biological predisposition has not been probed in India, according to V.R. Rao, an emeritus medical scientist at Osmania University and the director of research at the Genome Foundation, both in Hyderabad. He is one of the authors of the new study.
His investigation began with the acknowledgment that suicide is not simply the act of killing oneself. Instead, it is a spectrum of behaviour going from ideation to attempt. Rao believes that suicide is not influenced only by social factors – as is commonly believed in India – but that there could also be a genetic predisposition, and a measure of tendency dictated by psychiatric traits.
Tarun Mene, an anthropologist at the Rajiv Gandhi University at Doimukh, Arunachal Pradesh, agreed. “As we know that suicide is associated with multiple factors, we can’t refute the possible linkage of suicide and biological factors,” he said. Mene was not associated with Rao’s study.
Vikas Menon, a psychiatrist and associate professor at the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry, was more certain: “There is definitely a biological basis for suicide and this has been shown to be related to perturbations in neurotransmitter systems such as serotonin.”
In 2013, Rao and his team had found that the incidence of depression and suicide attempts were correlated. However, that didn’t mean all those with depression attempted suicide nor that all those who attempted suicide were depressed. According to him, there is a subset of genes and environmental factors between them that could suggest suicide risk.
“Attempted suicide is a good marker for understanding these traits,” he told The Wire.
So Rao and Piyoosh Kumar Singh, from the department of psychiatry at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, surveyed 39 members of the Idu Mishmi tribe who had attempted suicide and 138 members who hadn’t. These people were aged 15 to 70 and hailed from Anini town, Arunachal Pradesh. The survey posed questions related to their age, sex, education and marital status; this step was followed by individual interviews for psychological assessment.
The duo found that about 22% of the studied population had attempted suicide, some more than once. This number is orders of magnitude higher than the approximately 0.3% of the general Indian population that has attempted suicide at some point in their lives.
Over 80% of the people who had attempted suicide were more than 19 years old; 54% were married and 59% had had at least a high school education. In the interviewed population, twice as many women had attempted to kill themselves as men. The psychological assessment indicated that people who attempted suicide were more aggressive and impulsive compared to those who had not. Impulsive women were at the most risk.
Although there have been reports of greater suicide rates in this hill tribe, there are few rigorous studies on probable causes and the associated behaviour. Mene had conducted a survey in 2014 and found various reasons, including domestic causes, marital issues, weak family bonds and alcoholism. However, he noted that these were the reasons given by family and/or friends. “A majority of the respondents [described] suicide as an impulsive act,” he said.
This agrees well with the results of the psychological assessment conducted by Rao and co. They observed that the Idu Mishmi in general were an impulsive people. Higher impulsivity has been tracked to genetic and environmental roots, and has been found to affect decision-making in daily life. In 2001, scientists in the US had found that about 25% of those people who had attempted suicide had thought about it for less than five minutes.
Another personality trait thought to put people at greater risk of suicide attempts is aggression – a trait previous studies have noted among the Idu Mishmi, in men as well as women. (The men were more likely to show physical violence.) Both aggression and suicide are thought to arise from decreased functioning of certain neurological processes related to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that can alter moods and control emotions. Rao was not surprised.
The next step in this journey would to define the neurobiological causes of suicide. Since the Idu Mishmi have been marrying among themselves, their gene pool is closed. Together with known cultural and environmental factors and their small population size, they present a unique way to understand the reasons behind their increased tendency to take their own lives.
Rao and his colleagues are already analysing the tribal population’s genes and hope to be able to correlate the suicide attempts with a genetic factor. However, should they do it, the results will not be generalisable: the genes associated with suicide risk in the Idu Mishmi will not be the same genes at work in the larger Indian population.
Menon also advised caution: “I think it may be more beneficial to view suicide as a complex behaviour or phenomenon with many factors and complex interactions between disorders, suicide and environmental and social determinants – rather than viewing suicide as a separate phenotype or psychiatric disorder.”
In the meantime, the Idu Mishmi are also beginning to acknowledge the problem and have formed social groups. According to Mene, immediate interventions could include providing helpline, psychological counselling and conducting regular suicide awareness camps. In addition, further studies will have to be undertaken as well. “Only few scientific works are available, which I feel are not enough to explain the issue completely among this tribe,” he said.
Rao is continuing to follow a biological approach to understanding this tribe. After genomic analysis, he is interested in understanding how gut microbiota – the large variety of bacteria that live in our digestive systems – affect suicide risk. These microbes have been implicated in a variety of diseases, from cancer to mental disorders, and Rao believes they may have a role to play in determining why some people are at greater risk of suicide.

Author Interview: Behind The Locked Door
by Think In The Morning | Mar 27, 2020 | My Book | 0 comments
Have you ever been conflicted about finishing a book? Yesterday at the pharmacy I saw a friend who told me they were so thoroughly enjoying my book that they didn’t want it to end. They had to slow down and pace themselves. What a compliment ! Made my day.
Praise For The Book:
“From a dying brother’s letter of despair and hope, David Jones creates a harrowing mix of humanity and inhumanity; love and terror; medical madness and mirages of miracles. The searing journey the author imagines for his brother compels readers to confront profound questions of how life is best lived and death best met.
—Jeffrey Amestoy, Former Chief Justice, Vermont Supreme Court and author, Slavish Shore: The Odyssey of Richard Henry Dana Jr.
“It requires exceptional skill to twist a thought to express a sensation, a tender emotion. David has that skill… to create a mood, a reality, a truth made from illusions.”
—James Maxwell, artist, author of My Ghosts
“Jones has delighted us for years with his blog www.thinkinthemorning.com. Now, in his engaging first work of fiction, he takes readers to Mexico as a young man searches for the gift of healing.”
—Katy M. Tahja, author of An Eclectic History of Mendocino County, 1852–2002
“What a treat! I’ve followed David’s blog and travels, and now am delighted to be able to fully immerse myself in the richness of his imagination, truth telling, and talent. Hurray—and more, please!”
—Susan B. Wood, artist and “teller” of the secrets of an amazing, aging, single, woman artist
“David Jones is one of the great thinkers and writers of northern California. He pours his intellect and life experience into Behind the Locked Door. Run, don’t walk, to devour it, and be ready to be consumed.”
—Gary Evans, former World Bank economist and financial advisor to the Republic of Poland
“David Jones has chosen a difficult subject: the story of a desperate ‘everyman’ grasping at any straw (Laetrile, in this case) in hopes of surviving his incurable cancer. Set in Mexico, the novel is liberally sprinkled with indigenous mysticism and surreal interludes, enhancing the story and helping make Behind the Locked Door a wonderful read.”
—Gil Gevins, author of 1967: The Autumn of Post-Coital Despair
“In this genre-bending ode to his much-loved older brother, who died of cancer at a young age, David Jones has imagined an inner and outer life for a dying man. Imagine a gritty tale of intrigue, international crime and corruption and the harshest, cruelest, most savage details of high-tech medical reality merged with the slippery, elusive, shimmering world of shamans, visions, totems, and magical realism, a tale populated with a full cast of characters, some of whom—gangsters, hucksters, crooked politicians—resemble walking, talking cancer cells, while others—a native healer, an obsessively principled eccentric scientist, a sweet, beautiful love interest, an enlightened Catholic priest—put us in mind of powerful immune cells channeling the primal forces of life. The reader ponders the age-old philosophical question: Do we dream that we are awake, or are we awake when we are dreaming? And is there a difference?”
—Eleanor Cooney, author of Death in Slow Motion and Midnight in Samarra
Author Interview: David Herstle Jones
Today, Feathered Quill reviewer Amy Lignor is talking with David Herstle Jones, author of Behind the Locked Door.
FQ: How difficult was this book to write, since it was based on your own family’s situation? Did you find this to be a ‘peaceful’ or therapeutic process?
JONES: As I wrote in the Acknowledgements, writing the story was a long process. It took years although I knew almost immediately after my brother’s death in 1972 that I wanted to find some way to give him more life. I had my own life to live-career, family-and I had no writing skills at the time although I’ve always been a prolific reader. I was educated in math and economics. In retirement I found the time and worked on developing the skills. Writing was and is both an escape and thought-organizing activity for me. In answer to your question, writing this book was both peaceful and therapeutic though probably not for those around me, more likely frustrating and annoying for them. Writing, for me, requires complete concentration, silence and solitude. I suspect I was a real bitch to those around me although I didn’t know it because they were understanding and gave me the space I needed.
FQ: Your background is certainly strong in the economics/financial arena. How difficult did you find it to “change hats,” so to speak, in order to pen a book?
JONES: Actually, not difficult at all, but I did work with a couple of accomplished authors who pointed out my failures and pressed me to do the hard work that needed to be done. Over the years I’ve done a lot of writing-newsletters, newspaper articles, and I hosted a weekly radio show. That helped to hone my writing skills and to teach me how best to communicate my thoughts to others. I didn’t do fiction writing. I didn’t write a novel. Those were new for me. I began paying a lot more attention to how authors did their work, how good stories are created. I experimented for a few years with short stories and poems. My “juvenilia” started pouring out a little late at around age 60. I wrote a few terrible poems and stories in my youth and later when I was in college. I fancied becoming a writer but I didn’t know what that meant or required. I charged off in a different direction (like Professor Snipe in the book) and didn’t circle back until years later.
The author and his older brother
FQ: This, in a way, is a memoir. Can you tell readers a bit about your brother’s situation and how this book became an “idea” in your mind as a path to take?
JONES: My half brother and I grew up together. We had the same mother but different fathers. We lived with our mother in a small agricultural town in Northern California. My brother was 8 years older. We were extremely close. He became an attorney working at his father’s firm in Sacramento. I was in graduate school pursuing an academic career when he died. This was all worked into the book.
My father died 3 years before my brother and my half sister 1 year before my brother. My sister and brother were not related. I shared a father with my sister and a mother with my brother. A lot of terrible things happened to me more or less all at once including the stress of pursuing a PhD. I was heartbroken by the loss of my family. I left the academic world, moved to Mendocino, and went into the restaurant business. Years went by-marriage, children, grandchildren. The novel started brewing years ago. I wrote a few poems and stories setting down my thoughts. By the time I got around to writing the novel, I had a lifetime of experience that informed and enriched what I was able to write. So, in some ways the wait was worth it.
FQ: When it comes to your cast, were these characters in Mexico based on real people? If so, can you speak about the ‘spiritualism’ process that they personally have. Or, if these characters were fictional from your creative process alone, can you explain to readers about the shaman and the belief process they follow for healing?
JONES: I’m a Mexicophile, always have been. In the book Eric learns Spanish from a friend’s mother while in grade school. That was actually me in real life. I’ve traveled through and read extensively about Mexico. I have lots of friends there. The book has a long list of characters all meaningful to me. They’re drawn in part from actual experiences but mostly entirely fictional. I used real names but not real lives. Itandehui, my curandera, is the name of a young girl and her aunt. When I told them I used their name for my curandera they laughed: “We’re as far away from that as you can imagine.” I know very little about shamans and curanderas but witnessed a few such activities in my travels. I also read quite a lot about traditional healing methods. You may not be old enough to remember the Dragnet TV show. That show always started with “Ladies and gentlemen: the story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.” In my case many of the names are the real names of friends but the stories and characters are complete fictions. I did do a fair amount of research on the Kumeyaay Indians of Southern California and I used some of what I learned in an altered form. Oddly, while I’ve been all over Mexico, I’ve never been to Tijuana where much of the story takes place. I carefully studied everything I could find about Laetrile. Some of the characters were based on that. Nothing was based on my brother’s legal cases. I’m not spiritual or religious at all. I was raised Catholic. That comes out in the book but I gave up organized religion long ago. One important character, Hector, was influenced by a William Castle movie, Mr. Sardonicus. The book was inspired by many other writers. The most important are mentioned in the Acknowledgements. The Stanford Medical Center Riot was a real historical event as was the Senate hearing on laetrile but all the characters were fictional.
FQ: Was the hard-boiled crime plot pulled from any of your brother’s cases, or did this come from your own personal passion to write this type of genre?
JONES: The hard-boiled crime plot was fictional. I based it in part on the research I did on laetrile. If you read the literature on laetrile, it’s populated with many nefarious characters. I created Krump, Napier, Zacco and Congressman Shipley out of that research. The Catholic priest was based on a real priest whom I read about. Louie Frieze, the curmudgeonly chemist, was a pure fiction I dreamed up one night when I wrote in a frenzy almost word for word as he appears in the book. Marcos was also fiction and also appeared unedited nearly intact. Likewise Penalt. I really love my characters. I still think of them all the time.
FQ: What are your views in regards to the ‘scientific’ part of medicine versus the ‘spiritual’? Do you believe healing could go further if people would expand their own minds to accept things they may not understand?
JONES: I’m more or less with my character Napier on that (i.e scientific) but not as heartless or plotting. I don’t believe in Naguals but I wish I did. What I know about them I learned in Oaxaca from the Zapotec artists that make the painted wooden animals, wool rugs, and the ancient stone temples; also the Huichol artists that live in Jalisco and Nayarit. Whether or not healing could go further if people would expand their own minds to accept things they may not understand I don’t know. But they should expand them anyway. That’s what makes life worthwhile.
FQ: Could you speak a bit to our readers about your Think in the Morningblogsite?
JONES: I set up Think in the Morning five years ago when I retired from financial advising. It was first a place to write about and document my days at the Sea Gull Restaurant in Mendocino, a popular gathering place in the 70s and 80s. One part of the blog is a virtual gallery of napkin art (art on cocktail napkins produced by bar patrons mostly local artists when they visited the bar). Later the blog evolved into a place to gather my thoughts on various subjects. More recently it’s been a place where I introduced my novel. On occasion I put up guest posts from friends, even a few from my grandkids. I now have 5 years and nearly 400 posts.
FQ: What would you say was the most fun part of the writing process, and the most difficult aspect of it when you look back on the book’s creation?
JONES: Creating the characters and allowing them to live was by far the most fun. They still live in my mind where they were created. One author/philosopher I’ve read and enjoyed is Miguel de Unamuno. In his novel Mist (Niebla or Fog) one character carries on a discussion with the author. It was the first time this technique was used I think. I have had many such discussions, very enjoyable. The hardest part was to follow through each scene to the end. I lack patience and usually cut things short only to realize or be told that I need to do more. Dialogue was hard, I’d never done it before and my first attempts were embarrassing. A sense of accomplishment was my reward, witnessing thought made real.
FQ: Do you have a specific genre that you’re interested in reading? Along those same lines, is there a genre you would like to write a book for in the future?
JONES: I have pretty wide interests. Good fiction of course but also biography, history, science and even economics. I have a number of short stories in various states of completion that I’d like to tighten up and maybe share in another book. I also have an idea for a short novel about a young girl (about 4 or 5) I saw on a bus in northern Scotland when I was in my late twenties. I only saw her once but her face stayed with me. I’ve imagined over the years what her life might have been like and how it might have changed under certain circumstances. I think about it a lot. I will leave details to the book if I ever write it. I enjoy writing immensely and hope to continue as long as I’m mentally and physically able.
FQ: What would you like readers and future writers to know about your journey through writing/publishing Behind the Locked Door?And what comes next?
JONES: I answered some of that in the question above. As for future writers I’d say if you really want to write, then do it. Don’t be afraid to ask other competent writers for help. I did and could not have finished without that help. It’s expensive to publish a book, and for me it took a long time, not a great source of income in most cases. But, it’s good to help you “go further” and to “expand your own mind” and to “accept things” you “may not understand.” That was the case for me anyway and I’m very happy I stuck with it.

The Redefining Fabulous Podcast with host, Jessi Cabanin
[ SHOW NOTES – Redefining Fabulous Podcast Transcription ]
Jessi Cabanin 00:04
Hey girl, hey, are you ready for some real talk? If you are a female entrepreneur who has ever felt like a total failure, or maybe even a frequent flyer of imposter syndrome, this podcast is for you. I'm your host, Jessi, I'm millennial business owner, boy mom and creative genius helping women bring their business dreams to life. After 10 years of building numerous creative brands from the ground up, I'm ready to get real about what actually goes on behind the scenes of building your very own empire failure opened a brand new mindset for me. And I really want that for you too, because honestly, I am just so over society's definition of what it means to live a successful life. So together, we are going to create and navigate a version of success that works for you. Together, we can redefine fabulous.
Alright, you guys, so I am super excited to talk to you today about something that happened to me recently, and it was really eye opening for me. And I hope it is for you guys, too. But so sometimes we really have to put ourselves out there somewhere that's not comfortable things that you definitely like normally would not do. I highly encourage you to jump into them.
Okay. So last week, I was invited to join a small business meetup. And I was really excited about but I was also super nervous, because I'm always by myself, you know, I'm a solo entrepreneur, a solopreneur, whatever you would call that. And I am very much an introvert in general. And so I was like, Okay, I got to prepare myself to extrovert whatever. It was really great. We, you know, we met up at a restaurant. And we all sort of went around the room and said, who we were what we were working on. Some of the struggles, some of the wins, you know, which I'm a huge fan of, you know, going through the wins in the struggles.
But what really stood out to me at this event was that somehow I was last I don't know, how I managed to be last. But so I was last. And of course, I had already listened to everybody and chimed in on the marketing because I can't help myself. All I want to do is help everybody. And so it comes back to me. And it's it's my turn. And you know, I'm telling everybody who I am and what I do. And I mentioned that my podcast is launching. And you know that the very first question I got was like, What made you do a podcast? Or like, what, what made that decision for you?
And I think I really kind of like had to take a moment. Because I don't necessarily think I ever really pinpointed why that moment, I really had to sort of dig deep for an answer. And I if you guys know me, I am very much a like, fly by the seat of your pants kind of girl sometimes. And so I you know started to answer. But afterwards, I just I kind of was like, You know what? I'm really proud of the way I answered that. Because it really made me sort of like, dig deep, and really find the real reasons why I wanted to start this podcast.
So to recap, I don't fully remember everything I said, But you know, the main thing behind everything is behind my business behind this podcast. I really want to help women entrepreneurs, I want to give them a platform to be able to get help. Because really, as women, we hate asking for help I raise your hand if you also hate asking for help. I hate asking for help. But I have come to learn that there are just times where you need to. And so I think the gist of it is that I just really want to start a conversation.
Like knowing that. Wow, okay, so like, I wasn't crazy when I thought XYZ you know, it's really crazy like this day and age, how much social media plays such a role in mental health and in the decisions that we make on a daily basis. And it's terrifying, honestly, because it's like, just because so and so has 10,000 followers on their Instagram, I am not worthy because I only have 100 followers on Instagram or this person is making seven figures doing less work than me. What am I doing wrong? They're way more successful than I am. And I'm just so so passionate about like breaking that stigma because, you know, I have been successful and I have failed and I know What it's like to sort of be on both sides of that.
And, you know, to make a long story short, I had a six figure business, I had a business partner. And we were in the wedding industry, we had a luxury wedding stationery brand, a family of brands, really. And we were running a six figure business. And it, of course, it felt successful, because a lot of it was like, looking at us word, just like we're making six figures. And this is what society told us was like to be successful, but it didn't always feel successful.
Okay. So being successful by us by society terms is a very different thing than being successful than feeling successful, like feeling good about what you're doing. And you know, long story short, we had a six figure business, and that market, that industry crashed, that everything started going digital, obviously, there were a lot of things at play, but at crashed, we lost that business in probably a year. That's how fast it fell. And to go from feeling so successful, to now feeling like a total failure. It It was eye opening, okay. And, you know, around the same time, as that company was failing, my marriage was failing, I was getting divorced. And everything in my life at that point felt like a failure. And I was in a very dark place for an extended amount of time. And in that amount of time, I spent a lot of time looking deeper. I spent a lot of time not caring about anything, but also spent a lot of time on myself and really trying to find peace and success within myself.
And what came of that, obviously, was that I reinvented what my business meant to me, I reinvented what I wanted to do with my business moving forward. And you know, that was coming out of the the wedding industry completely. I'm on my way to being out of the family, and lifestyle photography, genre, I am very much in the direction of being a full blown business, the business consultant, photographer, designer, all these things, but it takes time, it takes grace, it takes failing to learn and to move forward. And so my main reason for this podcast was to be able to share some of that story and to be able to, you know, relate to people out there that like, there are a lot of things that are going to make us feel like a failure, there's a lot of things that are going to go wrong in our life.
And that's okay, but the past is the past, you can't change it. But the past also teaches us what not to take into the future. And so instead of continuing my dark times of life, at that point, I decided that I was going to change the script, and I was going to focus more on the positives. And instead of failing, what did I learn from this, and I very much became a person who started questioning everything that was happening and being like, Okay, this was awesome, or okay, this was really sucky, like, but what did I learn from this? And how can I do it better next time? And how can I avoid this happening again?
Okay, so the podcast idea, going back to what this was originally about, the podcast idea was to create somewhere where I could share my story where others could share their stories. And together, we can sort of redefine what it means to have a successful life, a successful business, a successful relationship to be a successful mom, whatever, it is just a redefine success. Okay, so, obviously, I dropped the fabulous word in there, so that it was still connected to my brand.
So redefining fabulous is very much about redefining what it means to be successful in life. And I really wanted to create that to have a place where I could connect with like-minded women who have also been through some of those struggles and help them overcome some of them in both their business and their life.
And I also wanted it to become a resource so that along the way, when people approach me or when a new client comes on, and they have a question about this, or they share a story with me about how they got here, and I want to be able to have a resource to send those people so that they don't feel alone, that they can also know that I went through something similar or Jane went through something similar or whoever went through something similar and how we got out of it and how we redefined what it meant for us to be successful in life or business.
So that is the overall gist of my why Okay, so I literally just developed my why I preach to everybody about knowing their why and I don't think I really knew my particular why until the moment I sat down in that meetup and was asked the question, why a podcast. So I'm highly encouraging you to go out there, meet some new people do something totally new, put yourself in a vulnerable environment. And really just kind of take it all in and take it for what it's worth, and throw a dart. See what sticks. That's it. All right, I will chat with you guys soon.
Are you guys pumped? I hope you guys are just as excited as I am about this new chapter. I really want to hear from you. I want to hear your stories, your wins your losses, and I want to celebrate all of it with you because I want to remind you that you're not alone. And the struggles and the failures are only preparing you for the next chapter. And I promise you guys it is going to rock if what you're hearing is firing you up, I would be so appreciative for you to head over to Spotify or Apple podcasts or whatever your preferred platform is. And just give me a shout out tell me what you think and tell me what you want to hear more about. I would love to stay in touch with you guys. The very best place to follow me is definitely Instagram at this way to fabulous so head on over. Give me a follow slide into my DMs because I am dying to know how you guys are feeling about this new adventure.
Until next time babe, keep pushing, keep dreaming, and let's keep on redefining fabulous. Chat soon guys.

1/27/05 Letter to Nightlife
The following letter was published in the January 27, 2005 edition of the Carbondale Nightlife .
Communism has gone—not quite a distant memory, but even now there are high school graduates and college students who have no clear memory of the time when the Earth lived under the constant threat of global thermonuclear war.
Communism is finished—oh, it still lives on in places like China and Korea, but China is opening up to free markets more and more each year, and North Korea is starving.
The Soviet Union is history—and yet we are less free than we were 15 years ago.
The Cold War is over—but Americans are being held in military brig indefinitely without trial.
Twenty years ago a push of a button could have started a nuclear war that would have destroyed our civilization—but today, you cannot check out a library book without fear that the FBI won’t secretly demand your library records.
Today our biggest threat is terrorists who might blow up a building or two—whereas twenty years ago we faced a nation with the will and firepower to raze our entire country to the ground. And yet now we have “airport security” and “no-fly” lists; now we have warrantless searches and secret courts; now we have “Total Information Awareness” and mass arrest and deportation of foreigners.
The Cold War was won. Democracy and capitalism were definitively shown to be superior to absolutism and communism. Victory over the Soviets was supposed to bring us a new era of peace, prosperity and freedom. So why do I miss the “good old days” when I could fly in an airplane without being treated like a criminal? Because of a few barbarians with boxcutters?
If, as our President says, the terrorists attacked us because they “hate freedom,” then they are winning. Let me say that again: The terrorists are winning. Not through any military superiority, but by our own hands, through the actions we have allowed our government to take to make us more “secure.” We are less free today than we were on September 10, 2001. To the extent that that is true, to that exact degree, we are losing this war, and will continue to lose it.
Right now, at this very moment, there is an American citizen sitting in prison who has been there for more than two years. He has not been brought to trial. He has not been given access to counsel. He has not even been formally charged with any crime.
Think about this for a moment. Forget about airport security checks, no-fly lists, TIA, TIPS, PATRIOT Acts and all the rest, and consider the fact that an American citizen is being imprisoned indefinitely without trial on the sole basis of the signature of the President. The right of habeas corpus—to have the charges against you read in open court, in order to protect against false or malicious imprisonment—is one of the oldest and most sacred of our rights. It is the only individual right written into the original, unamended Constitution. And our President has wiped it away with the stroke of a pen.
What does this mean? It means that any President, now or in the future, can declare any American an enemy combatant and have that person locked up indefinitely without any jury having to hear that person’s case. Yes, this means you. And you. And you. And me. There is no legal barrier any longer to the President doing this whenever he chooses. Except, of course, that useless, unenforced, old-fashioned document called the Constitution of the United States. But that document doesn’t seem to have much effect nowadays.
This sort of power is completely inappropriate to the President of a free, democratic Republic. It is far more appropriate to a dictator.
Does that frighten you? Do you fear the consequences of calling our President a dictator in public? Your very fear is a measure of how far we have fallen in this supposedly free country. This is supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. If we don’t become brave—and soon—we will not remain free for much longer.

Freedom's just another word for "nothing left to lose"
If Janis is right then we will soon be completely free. The problem is the media machine telling the ignorant masses that a police state is actually *good* for us in this time of _terror_. You'd have to be a moron to believe this propaganda, but we are speaking about the country that re-elected (or elected for the first time, according to who you talk to) George W. despite the fact that the world has proven him to be a crazed dictator.
Oh, did I say that out loud? What's that black car pulling into my driveway.....

Lessons on Change from the Presidential Election
November 15, 2016 By Brian Gorman
For the past week it has been impossible to turn on the television, to pick up a newspaper, or to visit social media without encountering another response to the election of Donald Trump as the next President of the United States. There are many voices raised in protest. And there are many analyses as to how this happened. What I have not seen is an analysis that looks at the election and its outcome through the lens of change, so that is what I am offering here. How is what we know about the psychology of change reflected in the election? What lessons does that teach–or re-teach–us?
Lesson 1: All Change is Personal
Donald Trump’s election is expected to result in societal change across the country, and perhaps around the world. [Read more…]

Avoiding!
November 8, 2016 By Brian Gorman
The human mind is amazing. So much goes on inside our brains that we are never conscious of. One of the things that I see over and over again with my clients who are engaged with major change is avoidance. Sometimes it is intentional, but often they are unaware that it is even happening.
It may be an old tape that is playing. Or a relationship that needs to be addressed…but is way too uncomfortable to tackle. Perhaps it is “the one thing I really hate to do.” At work it may be a commitment issue with a key player. At home, maybe it is anchors that need to be cut loose. But in every case, the avoidance becomes a form of self-sabotage. After all, if you didn’t need to address it to move forward, you would be ignoring it, rather than avoiding it. There is a difference.
What are you avoiding?
This is a difficult, and often painful, question. Yet it is a critical one to hear, to answer, and to address if you are undertaking a major change. [Read more…]

All Change is Political
August 31, 2016 By Brian Gorman
It is a rarely spoken truth. All change is political. Power shifts are an inherent part of every change. As I will discuss below, this is as true at the personal level as it is at the organizational and the social levels.
We know this when we think in terms of national change. Certainly it’s true of political races, whether local, statewide, or national. There is not a broad social movement that doesn’t quickly engage—or scare off—politicians. Politics come into play in school board races, in social club elections, and in community-based organizations. They show up in our religious institutions. Parents attempt to coach their children’s athletic teams, or lead their youth groups, in order to have some control over their children’s experience. Those in power run for re-election to retain power. Those out of power run for election to continue the path of a retiring incumbent, to build on but shift the path, or to put things on a completely different path forward.
In our organizations, we have all heard of “office politics.” Every big change messes with them. While it is rarely, if ever, part of the official planning process, these changes result in power shifts which can be of significant magnitude. One place we often do see acknowledgement of the power dynamics of a change is in the leadership of acquired organizations. While it is not unusual for their contributions to be acknowledged, for a significant payment to be made, and for a place to be found in the new organization, it is unusual for them to remain in that new place any longer than necessary to receive the maximum personal benefit; they no longer have the power—the political influence—they had before the acquisition.
But underneath the surface, politics is hard at work during major organizational change. This often starts in the C-suite, where colleagues are vying for power, often at the expense of the change, and even of the organization they are purporting to serve. Following their leaders’ examples, the politics cascades through the organization as rapidly as (or more rapidly than) the change itself.
But how is personal change political? [Read more…]

Commercial Tree Care
Commercial Property Tree Care
Commercial property owners have many responsibilities and maintenance. should be concerned about the outdoor landscape and trees.
Safety is our #1 priority
Safety is the most important reason trees should be properly maintained on commercial properties. Uncared-for trees on commercial properties pose a serious risk. We have frequent storms in the area. If branches or trees fall, it could cause major damage to buildings and cars, injuries to people, or even death.
Every year, trees should be inspected annually by a licensed arborist. ISA-certified arborists are able to spot potential problems before they happen. They may be able to point out a dominant trunk in danger of falling and recommend a course for action like bracing or cabling. They may also notice decay from disease or insects at the base of a tree and recommend that it be removed before the next major windstorm.
Plants can become obstructive and reduce sight lines as landscapes mature. It is important to ensure that your commercial property's entrances and exits are clear and easy to find. This is crucial for both pedestrians and cars.
Visitors should ensure trees are maintained in a way that allows for plenty of space when exiting and parking their cars. This usually involves trimming trees that have a clearance of 8-15 feet for vehicles of normal size. Additional clearance is required for larger vehicles or features such as loading docks or delivery points.
Also, it is important to consider building clearance. Trees too close to buildings could cause damage to the roof and costly repairs.
It is a great way to impress your customers to have a well-maintained property. Commercial Tree Care is a sign that you are concerned about your property and want to make it more attractive for them. In the summer, you can also provide shade for visitors. You can build strong and beautiful trees by using a fertilization program like our SEASONS program.

Security services are an increasingly important part of modern life. Without them, our offices, small businesses and even governments would be vulnerable to a variety of threats. But what exactly do security services offer, and why should we consider using one? In this article, we'll explore the world of security services and explain why they're so essential for keeping us safe.
We all want to feel secure in our lives; whether that's at work or out in public. Unfortunately, with ever-evolving threats from criminals and terrorists alike, it can be difficult to ensure peace of mind on your own. That's where security services come in: they provide expertly trained personnel who can help protect you against potential dangers before they even happen.
From private bodyguards to large scale surveillance operations, security companies have the right skills and resources necessary to keep their clients safe – no matter what kind of situation arises. With more companies offering solutions tailored specifically to each customer’s needs, there are plenty of options available when considering which security service is right for you. So let's take a closer look at how these firms work and the benefits they bring.
Definition of Security Services
Security services refer to a range of protective measures put in place to safeguard people, property and assets. They are employed by both private firms and government organizations. Security personnel can be contracted or hired on a permanent basis depending on the particular needs of an organization. Their main role is to protect against threats such as theft, vandalism, trespassers, terrorism and other forms of crime.
The tasks that security personnel undertake vary from one situation to another but generally involve monitoring premises for suspicious activity, providing access control at entrances and exits, conducting patrols around designated areas and responding quickly in case of any emergency. In some cases they may also provide technical support with regard to surveillance systems and other electronic equipment used for security purposes.
Good security personnel must possess strong communication skills as well as physical fitness so that they can react quickly when necessary. Additionally, they should have knowledge of relevant laws governing their area of expertise since this could prove useful if there were ever a need to take legal action against offenders.
Types Of Security Services
Some common types of security services include physical protection, access control systems, alarm monitoring, video surveillance and private investigation.
Physical protection involves the use of trained personnel to guard a location or a person from harm. This can be done through guards at entrances checking for weapons or suspicious activity as well as patrols around the premises on foot or by vehicle. Access control systems provide an additional layer of protection by requiring authorization before allowing entry into certain areas. These systems may include biometric scanners that read fingerprints or facial recognition technology to identify authorized users.
Alarm monitoring is another type of service which utilizes sensors to detect intruders and alert authorities when needed. Video surveillance often accompanies these alarms to allow responders to quickly assess the situation and respond accordingly if necessary. Private investigators are also commonly hired when there is a need for more extensive investigation such as uncovering evidence related to criminal activities or employee misconduct.
These are just some examples of the different types of security services available today; however there are many other specialized solutions depending on what kind of asset needs protecting. Whether it's personnel safety or protecting goods all businesses should have appropriate measures in place that ensure the safety and integrity of their operations.
Moving on, private security companies offer a variety of services that range from physical protection to electronic surveillance. These organizations are often hired by businesses or individuals who require specialized and/or additional security measures beyond what public law enforcement agencies can provide. Private security companies typically employ trained personnel in the form of guards, bodyguards, patrol officers, and other types of professionals.
The primary goal of these companies is to protect their clients' assets and property. They do this by providing a wide array of prevention techniques such as monitoring access points, conducting investigations into suspicious activities, undertaking patrols to deter potential threats, responding quickly to alarms, and securing entrances with locks or guard posts. Additionally, they may also install closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems for further surveillance, issue badges for identification purposes, deploy panic buttons in case of emergencies, and use metal detectors at building entryways.
In order to ensure proper implementation of their services and prevent any conflicts between client expectations and actual results delivered, private security companies must adhere to quality standards set forth in regulations from local authorities or industry associations. Furthermore, most organizations have staff members undergo background checks before hiring them so that prospective employees can be thoroughly vetted for past criminal activity or inappropriate behavior before being allowed into the workplace environment.
Asset Protection Strategies
Asset protection is an important component of security services. It involves developing strategies to protect valuable assets and resources from theft, misuse or damage. There are a number of different asset protection strategies available, including physical security measures such as locks, alarms and surveillance cameras; cyber security measures like firewalls and malware protection programs; and personnel training in risk management.
Physical security measures should be tailored to the individual business’s needs. Locks can prevent unauthorized access to buildings, while alarm systems can detect intrusions quickly and alert the appropriate authorities. Surveillance cameras allow businesses to monitor their premises both internally and externally at all times. Cybersecurity measures include deploying firewalls that create secure networks for data transmission, as well as using anti-virus software to protect against malicious attacks on computer systems. Finally, providing staff with adequate training in risk management helps them identify potential threats before they become serious problems.
By implementing these various asset protection strategies, businesses can ensure that their assets remain safe from harm and continue functioning efficiently without interruption. These protocols guarantee not only the safety of tangible goods but also intangible items like proprietary information or intellectual property rights. An effective asset protection strategy will provide peace of mind for employees and customers alike by reducing risks associated with loss or damage to key components of the organization's operations.
Physical Security Solutions
Thus, asset protection strategies are essential for any business. Another key factor in safeguarding assets is physical security solutions. These safeguards provide an additional layer of protection against theft and vandalism.
Physical security can be implemented with a variety of methods including locks, alarms, guards, cameras and fences. Locks are the most basic form of physical security and come in many varieties including padlocks, deadbolts and combination locks. Alarms can alert authorities if someone attempts to break into a building or steal equipment from it. Guards serve as a deterrent to criminals who may attempt to breach security systems. Cameras can also help identify suspects by recording their actions onsite. Fences around buildings or certain areas create barriers that discourage access by unauthorized individuals.
These various tools should be used together for maximum effectiveness in keeping assets safe from harm. Security measures such as these will go a long way towards protecting businesses and ensuring their continued success. With the right combination of physical security solutions, businesses can rest assured that their assets remain secure and protected at all times
Guard services are offered by many security companies to ensure the safety of people and property. They provide a physical presence on-site in order to reduce threats, monitor activity, respond quickly to emergencies, and deter criminal behavior. Guards can also be used for specific tasks such as escorting personnel or protecting high value assets.
Security guards may be armed or unarmed depending on the level of risk posed by the location they’re assigned to protect. In addition, guards must undergo training so they understand their duties, how to identify potential risks, what actions need to be taken in an emergency situation and have knowledge of relevant laws and regulations.
Guarding services are an important part of any comprehensive security strategy. By providing trained officers who know how to handle situations properly, these services help keep people safe while also helping businesses maintain compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Investigation services are a crucial part of security services. They help to identify potential threats, as well as mitigate any existing risks. By conducting investigations into suspicious activities, companies and organizations can work proactively to protect themselves from harm or financial loss.
The investigation process begins with gathering information about the subject or situation. This could include interviewing witnesses, reviewing documents and records, examining physical evidence, and using surveillance techniques. Investigators must also use their judgment to determine what facts are relevant and which aren't. Once all of the necessary data is gathered, investigators create detailed reports that summarize their findings, along with analysis and recommendations for further action if needed.
Investigations provide an invaluable service – they enable people to make informed decisions based on accurate information. As such, it's important that these investigations be conducted professionally and ethically in order for them to yield the best results possible. Experienced professionals who understand both legal requirements and investigative procedures should be hired to ensure reliable results. With these measures in place, businesses can rest assured knowing their interests are protected by sound investigation practices.
Security services are essential for providing safety and peace of mind to individuals, businesses, and organizations. They can provide a wide range of services that go beyond just physical protection such as asset protection strategies and investigations. Private security companies offer professional guarding services with trained personnel equipped to protect people or property from harm or theft.
Finally, physical security solutions should also be part of any comprehensive security plan. This includes locks on doors and windows, surveillance cameras, alarm systems, motion detectors and other devices designed specifically to deter crime. Security professionals will be able to advise you on the best way to secure your premises based on your individual needs. With all these tools at our disposal, we can better ensure our safety going forward into an uncertain future. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2577 | {"url":

A Well-regulated militia
June 7, 2022 June 7, 2022 michaelmccurryphd
As I listen to the comments about the need to do something to keep another Uvalde from happening, I’m hearing the usual comments that the second amendment is more to authorize a militia than the individual right to bear arms.
That I disagree is not an adequate reason to ignore the argument – scientific method pretty much demands listening respectfully to folks who disagree. Fortunately, the internet gives me access to historical research that was confined to university campuses a quarter-century ago. There is the problem of avoiding confirmation bias, but I can cope with that.
Hartnation goes through the importance of the militias during the American revolution. Remembering my long ago American History classes, I think George Washington expected a militia unit to be able to stand and fire 3 rounds, but not stand when the Brits closed with bayonets. Hart described how dependent the Continental Army was on the local militias:
At the beginning of American independence an immense task faced the colonial revolutionary. The English army, the best-trained, best-equipped military in the world, had served in the Americas, enforcing the will of the crown for many decades. American victory rested in the ability of the colonists to put together a viable fighting army. We know from history that the American Continental Army, commanded by George Washington, defeated the superior British army and expelled the rule of the crown from the colonies by 1783.
. . . How much did the colonial militia contribute to enable the Continental army to defeat the British? I would posit that the militia movement was the driving force behind the Continental Army’s victory over the British because they were the main source of manpower, because they were already trained and armed with a 150 year harden tradition of defense to protect their own communities, and because the militia was made up of mostly farmers and landowners, they stood to gain the most from independence giving them something tangible to fight for other than “liberty”.”
battlefields.org
Militias also provided the Continental armies in the field much-needed manpower, albeit on a temporary basis. When British commanders planned for their campaigns against the Continental armies in the field, they had to take in account the size of the militia forces operating in those same geographic areas. The British knew the militia were unpredictable, but they could not totally neglect their presence either. In some instances, militia units were the deciding factors in important battles. The war’s first battles of Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts were fought mostly by militia with some minutemen units. At the Battle of Bunker Hill, outside Boston, militia dealt a deadly blow to the British. Later in the war at battles such as Bennington, Vermont, King’s Mountain, Cowpens, both in South Carolina and Guilford Courthouse, in North Carolina, the militia was crucial to American victories.”
Reviewing those historical comments, I get the feeling that the militia at the time of the American Revolution could have been described (as in the quote misattributed to Admiral Yamamoto) as a rifle (or at least a musket) behind every blade of grass. The better regulated, the better drilled and prepared, the more essential to the security of a free state.
The Supreme Court (Miller case) ruled that the Second Amendment did not protect weapon types not having a “reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia”. This kind of invalidates the arguments against “weapons of war.” That 1939 decision protects them.

US Hotel Performance Up Indicating Positive Business Performance
U.S. Hotel vacancies decreasing indicates a positive trend in U.S. Hotel performance, leisure travel, as well as business travel. According to data gathered by costar, U.S. hotel occupancies have trended upward for a second straight week. This is contrasting to what most believed would happen going into a typically slow time of year paired with an increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations. This suggests a healthy economy due to an increase in business demand.
As the typical work force heads back to the office and partakes in regularly scheduled business operations, hospitality industry begins gearing up for the business world assimilating back into tradeshows, national conferences, and other business-travel demanding activities. As we have seen, Airport passenger rates have had a considerable increase comparable to the passenger rates in 2020 and 2019. So, it is no surprise to hear that “U.S. hotel industry revenue per available room, on a total-room-inventory basis that accounts for temporarily closed hotels, for the week ending sept. 25 was 84% of what it was during the comparable week in 2019.” These stats were reported by Costar’s hospitality analytics firm, STR. To break that down, the index grew by one point from the past week, which is interpreted as U.S. Hotel performance being 1% closer to the 2019 performance rate. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2580 | {"url": "https://trinitycre.com/us-hotel-performance-up-indicating-positive-business-performance/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "trinitycre.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T08:53:20Z", "digest": "sha1:EDICX5JFDDYHWFPCULP2V2RE57AXFWOS"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1407, 1407.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1407, 2267.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1407, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1407, 34.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1407, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1407, 275.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1407, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1407, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1407, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1407, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1407, 0.31734317]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1407, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1407, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1407, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1407, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1407, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1407, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1407, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1407, 0.03046127]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1407, 0.04699739]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1407, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1407, 0.04797048]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1407, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1407, 0.18081181]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1407, 0.63181818]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1407, 5.22272727]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1407, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1407, 4.68779408]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1407, 220.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 65, 0.0], [65, 525, 1.0], [525, 1407, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 65, 0.0], [65, 525, 0.0], [525, 1407, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 65, 8.0], [65, 525, 72.0], [525, 1407, 140.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 65, 0.0], [65, 525, 0.00449438], [525, 1407, 0.02450408]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 65, 0.0], [65, 525, 0.0], [525, 1407, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 65, 0.13846154], [65, 525, 0.03478261], [525, 1407, 0.0170068]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1407, 0.0302605]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1407, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1407, 0.00654864]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1407, -74.260215]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1407, 17.38916562]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1407, -7.83655365]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1407, 20.0]]} |

Coming home: Navajo to get treaty that ended imprisonment
National The Staff • June 19, 2019 • Views 132 • Comments off Share
FLAGSTAFF, AZ — A 150-year-old document that allowed Navajos to return to their homeland in the Four Corners region where Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado meet is destined for a permanent home at the tribe’s museum.
Navajos had been imprisoned at a desolate tract of land in eastern New Mexico before signing a treaty with the federal government in 1868. The United States signed hundreds of treaties with Native American tribes as acts of peace and friendship or to end wars, but the Navajos were unique in securing a return to their homeland bounded by four mountains they consider sacred.
A Navajo legislative committee is expected to vote Tuesday to accept an original copy of the treaty that was believed to have been lost and is one of only three original copies.
It had moved among cardboard boxes, chests and filing cabinets in the Manchester, Massachusetts, home of Indian Peace Commissioner Samuel F. Tappan, who helped negotiate the treaty. His great-grandniece, Clare “Kitty” Weaver, said she had seen it among Tappan’s papers but only recently learned of its importance.
Another copy of the treaty is in the National Archives, and last one was given to Barboncito, the last Navajo chief to surrender to military forces in 1866, but its whereabouts are unknown.
Barboncito and thousands of Navajos had been forcibly marched to the Bosque Redondo reservation in Fort Sumner, New Mexico, after the military destroyed their crops and livestock.
Tribal officials asked Weaver last year during a gathering for the 150th anniversary of the signing of the treaty if she would donate the Tappan copy to the Navajo Nation.
“There were two things I had to deal with: my head and my heart,” said Weaver, who is writing a biography on Tappan. “And my heart knew right away that it should go to the Navajos. And my head took a little more time because I wanted to be sure that the protocols were in place for housing the treaty.”
Under an agreement signed this month, the treaty must be kept in a climate-controlled environment under lock and alarm or live security. An archivist will check on it periodically, and it won’t be displayed for more than six months total over a 10-year period. It also must be shared with a memorial site at Bosque Redondo and cannot be sold.
Tribal law says the Navajo president cannot accept gifts or donations worth more than $1,000 without the legislative committee’s approval. The Tappan treaty _ written on 17 pages of ledger paper, measuring 8 inches by 12 inches and tied with a faded red ribbon _ is valued at $10,000.
Suzan Shown Harjo, guest curator of an exhibit on treaties at the National Museum of the American Indian, said treaties have taken different forms, from being recorded on parchment or ledger paper to being depicted on beaded belts.
Seeing original treaties connects people with their ancestors, whose DNA is on the historical records, she said.
“There’s just sort of a wave of recognition that these are the people who signed this treaty for me, and these are the people who went through what they went through for me,” said Harjo, who is Cheyenne and Hodulgee Muscogee. “They did it for my grandchildren, they did it for all the coming generations, whether it was a terrific treaty or a half-good treaty or some treaty, they did the best they could.”
Tappan and Gen. William T. Sherman negotiated a treaty with the Navajos as part of the Indian Peace Commission. Neither of them signed the copy being donated. Only one Navajo leader could sign his own name.
The treaty marked the end of years of Navajo imprisonment. Those who couldn’t keep up with the journey to Bosque Redondo _ known as the Long Walk _ were killed. Disease, the harsh winters and unfamiliarity with how to prepare foods also led to deaths. Navajos call the land “Hweeldi,” meaning a place of suffering and fear.
Sherman and Tappan planned to move the Navajos to land in present-day Kansas and Oklahoma, but those at Bosque Redondo were intent on going home.
“The bringing of us here has caused a great decrease in our numbers,” Barboncito said at the time, according to historical documents. “Many of us have died, also a great number of our animals. Our grandfathers had no idea of living in any other country except our own, and I do not think it is right for us to do so.”
The Navajo reservation now spans 27,000 square miles (69,930 square kilometres) in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, and is the largest in the United States.
Navajo President Jonathan Nez said having the Tappan treaty in the tribe’s museum will “magnify the resilience of our Navajo people.”
“We were never ready to be taken off this planet,” he said. “Our people stayed strong.”
The museum will display the treaty for a week starting June 1, then it will travel for pop-up exhibits in Navajo schools and communities, museum director Manuelito Wheeler said.
“It’s an honour to care for something as important as this,” he said. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2583 | {"url":

WHO WE ARE WE ARE THE UBUNTU FOUNDATION
It all started when our Co-Founder & CEO, Zane Wilemon, purchased a one-way ticket to Kenya in search of meaning. It was there that he met our other Co-Founder, Jeremiah Kuria. The two forged a powerful friendship based on faith, development, and purpose. These conversations led to standing lunches every Thursday, where they brainstormed ways to serve the local community, especially those living on society's margins. Driven by their shared vision, they created a center for children with special needs, providing them with medical care and life-changing therapy.

Legislation of Online Casino Games
มี.ค. 18, 2023 Uncategorized
Online casinos, also known as virtual casinos or virtual online casinos, are online variations of conventional offline casinos. Online casinos allow gamblers from all around the world to play and gamble on internet casino games. Today, it has grown into a very popular type of online gambling. Online casinos offer many advantages over conventional live casinos. As an example, you can win jackpots and other prizes and bonuses even if you are not in your home.
There are also many differences between internet casino games and live dealer games. Most importantly, in-person gambling involves a live trader who interacts with players in an actual casino. This interaction may consist of asking random questions which will help them reach a decision about if they would like to gamble or not. Additionally, a live dealer may occasionally encourage a player to try a hand of blackjack or blackjack, which is illegal in most cases.
On the flip side, online casinos typically don’t have those issues. They generally use computers and applications that behave entirely autonomously. The computers maintain the documents of all the stakes that consumers have made and cannot create any suggestions regarding the activities that a user should take in response to those choices. In this manner, online casinos provide players with an experience which closely resembles the expertise that they would have in a true casino. They can participate in live casino gambling while still remaining within their own limits.
However, there are some online casino games that demand more of physical activity than others. Online roulette, as an instance, will require the participant to push on a button, spin a wheel, or manipulate an imperceptible device to move the ball from one spot to another. These actions have in-person counterparts but are played in the cyberworld rather than on a true gaming floor. In addition, most online casinos offer variations of classic games that may be played between live dealers. This permits gamers to practice the approaches utilized in live dealer games without having to worry about really interacting with a genuine dealer.
One of the best ways to research the legal online casinos would be to look for an expert legal counsel. The world wide web is full of information and debate about many legal issues, for example, regulation of online gaming. Legally qualified specialists can review yyy online casino a website’s security protocols, which may influence online casinos’ clients as well as their ability to process payments. They’re also able to counsel their clients on the games they ought to play, when they ought to play with them and how they ought to act in the event of a dispute. Most of all, they could give tips about how to stay out of trouble by staying within the guidelines set forth by the law. For these reasons, legal counsel is often a wise investment.
Many states also have passed laws that influence online casinos and the way they operate. For example, in Nevada, online casinos have been expected to get written permission from the owners of bp77 online casino malaysia properties in which they intend to construct. If they are accepted, these institutions are then held to the very same principles that conventional bricks-and-mortar establishments have to abide by. Though this system has been criticized for being unresponsive, it’s vital for ensuring the protection of the property owners. Thus, online casinos are closely tracked by both local and state authorities.
Another regulation impacting online casinos is the”one-sidedness” rule. In Nevada, live dealers must offer a demonstration of a game provided by a single of the licensed casinos to get a player to choose from. If the live dealer does not supply a demo of one of those live casino options, the player must choose one from the list. This rule has been put into place because some live traders take part in certain games which are preferred at particular online casinos. By way of example, the favored sport at many online casinos is blackjack, and this explains why players are sometimes required to go through a lengthy series of displays with different live dealers so as to make the right option.
Last, the most usual law that is enforced on controlled online casinos is your no-deposit rule. In the US, all online casinos are simply needed to require a participant to deposit a specified sum of cash before they can begin playingwith. This money is generally held in an internet casino account before the participant wins something, at which time that money is returned to the participant. This is why players that take part in high-roller games are required to deposit large amounts of money, which is essentially to prevent them from getting too much and dropping their accounts.

A fleet of UFOs traveling through the Orion Nebula are “captured” by an astronomer (Video)
The scientific world is extremely divided on a video that was posted online that appears to show many UFOs in the Orion Nebula.
A sky watcher was photographing the Orion Nebula on November 14, 2021, when mysterious formations and what may have been an extraterrestrial mothership in cylinder form passed through it.
It may be seen in the constellation of Orion, not far from the Milky Way. One of the brightest nebulae in the night sky that can be seen with the unaided eye. a cloud of ionized gases, including dust made of helium and hydrogen.
Additional images from subsequent years depict a number of additional enormous (often cylinder-shaped) UFOs flying over the Orion Nebula M42.
Is the movie of the UFO fleet, which includes other images, evidence that these enormous extraterrestrial ships are real?
The individual who used his telescopes to aim at the limitless universe on Earth accomplished something interesting.
According to the astronomer, he was gathering data on M42, the Orion nebula, and just as he was about to properly focus his telescope, he saw what can be seen in the video (below)
We are getting close to a phenomenon that we may formally refer to as “capturing of an unidentified flying object.” The aspect leads us to believe that it may be one of two things.
This material is intriguing, so let’s take a thorough look at these pictures from the movie and make our own judgments.

Trump hopes Clinton will run for president in 2020 - except she doesn't want to

The US President expresses hope for a second term despite numerous leads towards impeachment

It appears that US president Donald Trump has no worries over running for a second term in 2020. Coming after numerous reports regarding concerns for his lifespan in the Oval Office, his ongoing war of words against North Korean president Kim Jong-Un, plus further leads regarding Russia's involvement in his election campaign, he has further indicated his aspirations to stay in the White House for another four years. And guess what? He wants Clinton to run against him again.
Twitter war
Continuing to slander his rival candidate on the social media, he referred to Clinton by the nickname he christened her, 'Crooked'.
This is in reference to revelations she used a private email server during her tenure as Secretary of State. Although continuously calling Clinton out for her actions, reports since then have revealed that his son-in-law/senior advisor Jared Kushner and son Donald Jr have both been involved in reportedly similar discrepancies. Both are also said to have taken place during Trump's 2016 election campaign and his first six months in office.
I was recently asked if Crooked Hillary Clinton is going to run in 2020? My answer was, "I hope so!"
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2017
It's a no from Hillary
Hillary Clinton who's just received an honorary doctorate from Swansea University in Wales has continuously expressed no interest in running for president again.
After one failed campaign for the Democratic nomination in 2008 and another for president in 2016, it's clear that for Clinton, third time is not the charm. Despite winning the popular vote by 48.2 percent, Trump's victory came through the electoral votes, where he won with 307 votes and her with 227. Since her loss, Clinton has presented varying factors for the reasons behind this surprising turnaround.
In an interview with Australia's NewsCo, she insinuated that former FBI Director James Comey's letter revealing the email scandal played a massive role along with Russian president Vladimir Putin, Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts and the ongoing patriarchal misogyny in society.
While keeping a relatively low profile in the months since Trump's move into the White House, Clinton has continued to follow political and feminist endeavours.
Currently on tour promoting her new memoir What Happened, she's openly revealed her disdain towards Trump and his attitude during the election. Taking a personal and vulnerable insight into what was going on in her head during the campaign, Clinton revealed that attending Trump's inauguration was difficult for her, saying "It was very much an emotional gut punch to be there."

Afghan refugee in London told to give up doctorate and move to Yorkshire

A Chevening academic will be forced to give up a doctorate, a scholarship and teaching roles under Home Office plans to uproot Afghan refugees from London and move them to hotel rooms in Yorkshire, a university has said.
Suella Braverman, the home secretary, has been asked by a senior official at his university to intervene after Ahmad, a PhD student in engineering, and his young family were told to relocate 200 miles away to Wetherby near Leeds.
The move would end Ahmad’s ability to complete a thesis expected to become an engineering handbook on how to utilise billions of dollars worth of infrastructure after conflicts, the university said. It would also make him ineligible to receive the Warm Welcome Scholarship from the British Council that he was granted in September.
The family are among hundreds of Afghan refugees who have been told they must relocate while waiting for permanent homes. They include 150 children who will have to leave their London schools in the middle of the academic year and have not yet been offered a guarantee of places in Wetherby.
Ahmad, 32, who completed his MSc at the leading research university last year, despite spending more than a year in a succession of single hotel rooms with his wife and two children under the age of three, said he is having to choose between an academic career or a place to live.
“The Home Office’s decision to move us from one hotel to another, now for the fourth time, has been challenging and caused anxiety and depression. The decision means either giving up on studies or ending up on the streets,” he said.

The university’s letter, seen by the Guardian, has pointed out that Ahmad must spend at least a day on campus a week and attend in-person tutorials and lectures to qualify for his PhD, which cannot be deferred without breaching the terms of his scholarship.
The senior university official wrote that Ahmad should be placed “a commutable distance” from the university’s campus.
“[Ahmad] is a promising student who, despite all the challenges he faces, achieved a distinction in his master’s course at [the university]. His area of research has the potential to be a significant and important contribution to world stability,” the official wrote.
Ahmad was one of 30 academics in Afghanistan who were granted a Foreign and Commonwealth Office Chevening scholarship in August 2021.
When Kabul fell a few weeks later, it was announced that the scholars would not be able to escape to the UK – a decision the then prime minister Boris Johnson was forced to reverse following a public outcry.
At the time, Ahmad was working with the US government to help construct energy transmission lines, military bases and prisons, making him an obvious target for the Taliban.
After escaping to the UK, the family of four spent 500 nights in various hotels in London living in single rooms, before being moved to a hotel in Kensington.
In the autumn, Home Office staff told the Afghan hotel residents in Kensington that they may have to move out at some point – a decision that was not confirmed in writing until last month.

Ahmad said he raised concerns that he would have to give up his scholarship and research if forced to move to out of London, but was told by one Home Office official: “You didn’t have to accept your position at the university, when you knew you were in a temporary situation and you knew that your next accommodation could be anywhere.”
Afghan refugees in the Kensington hotel are due to be moved out from Tuesday. Some say they will resist going to Wetherby because of the disruption to their children’s education.
A Home Office spokesperson said it is working with local authorities in advance of the hotel move and there is a legal duty to provide education for refugees.
“While hotels do not provide a long-term solution, they do offer safe, secure and clean accommodation. We will continue to bring down the number of people in bridging hotels, moving people into more sustainable accommodation as quickly as possible.
“Occasionally families may be moved from a hotel scheduled for closure to another hotel. In these instances, families are given appropriate notice of a move and are supported by their local authority every step of the way,” the spokesperson said, in a repeat of a statement issued on Thursday.

Grants available for commercial EV charging equipment
Electric vehicle charging stations are shown at Howelsen Hill in Steamboat Springs.

The Colorado Energy Office’s Charge Ahead program is opening up another round of grant funding for electric vehicle charging stations.
As electric vehicles become more mainstream, the state is encouraging EV charging installations as part of its strategy to put nearly 1 million electric vehicles on the road by 2030.
Grant applications can be submitted through the website CleanAirFleets.org until June 24.
Grants are available to help cover the cost of purchasing and installing EV charging stations in workplaces, apartment and condo complexes, government buildings and other sites that offer public or visitor parking.

The Secret Santa Of Kansas City Spent Over 30 Years Handing Out $100 Bills To Those Who Needed Kindness
“I give folks who need a lift some holiday magic to believe in,” said the compassionate secret Santa.
In a tradition that began in 1979, the generous philanthropist would find random people doing everyday things, and he would surprise them with a $100 bill that says ‘Secret Santa’ on it, and a few loving words of kindness to encourage them.
For over 30 years he continued this tradition anonymously, increasing the amount he gave each season as time went by and as he became more and more successful in his career. In one of his most recent holiday seasons, he was able to hand out more than $65,000, often to people within communities who were seriously struggling during the holidays.
Yet many people didn’t know, this incredible giving tradition began with just a single act of kindness that was shown to him in 1971, when he was at his most vulnerable. A homeless man had wandered into town, and he was starving.
The stranger stopped at the Dixie Diner and ordered the biggest breakfast on the menu. His plan was to eat as much as possible, and then sneak out before the bill arrived.
The owner of the restaurant, Ted Horn, sensed what was going to happen, so he snuck up behind the starving homeless man with a $20 bill in his hand and said, “I think you may have dropped this.”
That one little $20 was all it took to deeply move, inspire, and change the life of who would become the incredibly kind and generous Secret Santa of Kansas City.
He vowed that day that if he ever became successful himself, he would return the favor.
Ten years later, and after he had found a stable job, he decided one day to leave a $50 tip for a drive-in waitress to pass along the kindness. Her eyes filled with tears, and with deep gratitude she told him that he didn’t know how much this gift meant to her.
“I thought of how that diner owner’s kindness has given me a second chance, and a light bulb went off in my head about how to repay him,” the Secret Santa explained.
After this experience, he started his first Secret Santa year giving $400 in $20 bills to strangers. This later turned in to $100 bills, and each year he seemed to give more and to be blessed with more success himself.
The Secret Santa in his later years would venture into Kansas City’s tougher neighborhoods to pass on these acts of kindness with the help of a friendly police escort, who later said, “The look in folks’ eyes as they just melt with disbelief and joy is a real thrill to see.”
The Secret Santa also visited New York after 9-11, Washington D.C. after the shootings in 2002, and many other areas in need of compassion.
Before his passing, he was able to return to the diner where he first received the $20 that helped him when he was starving. “At the time, that $20 seemed like $10,000 to me,” he said. So he gave the now elderly and surprised owner $10,000.
Others have taken up the loving kindness of the Kansas City Secret Santa, and have continued traveling the streets and handing out $100 bills to strangers who look like they could use a boost of love and compassion.

The Salisbury Review - A Magazine Review
Now most of you have never heard of The Salisbury Review, but early in 2016 I decided to get a yearly subscription. So what is The Salisbury Review? It's subtitle is "The quarterly magazine of conservative thought" and its a magazine that comes out of Britain. I have known of the magazine for a few years but I had never seen a copy and I wanted to find out if it was any good.
I also decided I would do a review after I had seen all four issues and that time is now. I was very impressed with how quickly the magazine arrived in Australia from Britain, it was obvious that they don't mess around with their orders. When it arrived it was a magazine as advertised, not a journal just a normal looking magazine. So far so good. But then I opened it up and started to read, the first thing was the editorial and it was awful. It started off by saying that Britain needed foreign workers, particularly the Poles as the English working class were terrible. I was both shocked and outraged. A Conservative magazine that wasn't Patriotic is worthless.
A little while later I had dinner with Mr. Mark Richardson of Oz Conservative fame and I told him I had subscribed to the magazine. He asked me what I thought of it, instead of doing that I handed the magazine to him and told him to read the editorial. Now I must explain that in manner he is very much a Gentlemen, doesn't swear, speaks very evenhandedly, doesn't like to raise his voice. But as he started to read this I thought he had developed Tourette's Syndrome, the editorial was that bad.
So how was the rest of the magazine, a lot better than the editorial but nothing great. It was not really concerned with "conservative thought", but with British Conservative thought, now I don't object to that but it isn't what the magazine highlights. I think it should highlight that it is about British Conservative thought. An interesting but I found annoying stylistic feature is their page layout, hardly any of the articles start at the top of the page. I assume that is because there are no advertisements at all, not a single one. I'm not sure if that is policy or not, it shows how Right-Liberal our society is that it seems so strange that a magazine doesn't have any ad's.
There are some good writers and not all of them are well known authors either such as Theodore Dalrymple, who has a truly beautiful sentence regarding Hillary Clinton in the Winter 2016 issue "Her public affability, when she displays it, has the authentic ring of phoniness.".
But in others I find a very Liberal sentiment and I must admit I resent paying a magazine of "conservative thought" money to read a Liberals opinions. I also purchase an Australian political magazine called Quadrant and they have any number of Liberal opinions, so why is it alright for Quadrant but not for The Salisbury Review? Because Quadrant doesn't label itself as being "conservative thought".
From reading what I have written you may think I hate The Salisbury Review, but I just wish it was better. I have given serious thought into whether I will resubscribe or not and I have decided that I will. It is very hard to get a magazine like this off the ground and they have done that and they have kept it going for 30 years, I admire that. I want to support that and encourage more Conservatism and more Conservative thought, although I must also say that my support is not unlimited.
Why is it called The Salisbury Review?
It's named after Lord Salisbury who was the last Conservative Prime Minister of Britain to actually be Conservative, he left office in 1902.

Yep. There is nothing remotely conservative about the British Conservative Party. Some of Britain's most disastrous prime ministers have been Tories, Ted Heath being a good example. And Macmillan. It's hard to think of any worthwhile Tory prime ministers.

I remember the moment you showed me that editorial. I had braced myself for something right-liberalish, but wasn't expecting it to be that bad. I'm just glad that at the moment the American right is starting to break the shackles of that kind of older style "conservatism".

I was just reading "Conversations with Roger Scruton" by Mark Dooley which mentioned that Roger Scruton had been chief editor of Salisbury Review for 18 years. It must have gone downhill since he left.

Americans Put Their Stamp On 2020 DAKAR Rally
Americans Put Their Stamp On…
The 2020 DAKAR Rally was the year of the Americans. For the first time in its 42 year history, Americans took the top spot in not just one, but two categories. Ricky Brabec became the first American motorcycle competitor to win DAKAR, and Monster Energy / Can-Am athlete Casey Currie won the overall in the side by side category. Also, making a strong showing in the SSV class was the Red Bull Off-Road Junior Program that fielded two Americans; Blade Hildebrand, and Mitch Guthrie Jr. The Red Bull program also had strong support from BFGoodrich Tires, KMC Wheels, and Sparco. The two young Americans were tutored by veteran DAKAR competitor Cyril Despres. “It’s a pleasure for me to be involved with the Red Bull Off-Road Junior Program,” said Despres. “I’ve spent the last 20 years involved in this sport that I love; now it’s my turn to share my advice and knowledge with the next generation.”
Mitchell Guthrie (USA) and Ola Floene (NOR) of SSV Red-Bull Off-Road Team USA races during stage 9 of Rally Dakar 2020 from Wadi Al-Dawasir to Harad, Saudi Arabia on January 14, 2020.
Despres, with navigator Mike Horn, made history in the side by side race when he became the first DAKAR competitor to win stages in three different categories: bike, car, and SSV. In addition to his accomplishment, and in a selfless move that showed his depth of character, Despres would later give his engine to Mitch Guthrie Jr. after losing a motor in Stage 7 allowing him to continue to the finish. Despres said he was there to mentor the next generation, and he sacrificed for that goal. Guthrie was no longer racing for the overall; his mechanical troubles put him into a new DAKAR category, the Experience category that allows competitors to finish the rally after suffering elimination to gain further experience.
The Red Bull team accrued some impressive results with the two Americans. Hildebrand took two stage wins and was on the podium four times. Guthrie won Stage 4, was 2nd in Stage 9 and won Stage 10. Another impressive American performance was that of South Racing’s Austin Jones. Jones was fresh off a win at the Baja 1000 in a spec TT. He took three 3rd place finishes in the SSV category and finished 8th overall.
The Americans left a big impression on DAKAR in 2020, but none greater than Casey Currie. Currie raced his first DAKAR in 2019, and did very well. Taking Rookie of DAKAR and finishing just off the podium in 4th place. His Monster Energy teammates finished 2nd and 3rd. His first DAKAR was a huge success to most everyone, but not Casey. The race for him was very frustrating. He struggled with his navigator Rafael Tornabell; getting lost almost every stage. Despite Tornabell’s vast experience, he and Casey just didn’t connect. They were never on the same page—pun intended. The 2019 race lit an inferno in him, and it burned intensely. He said afterward about DAKAR that it was hell, and he never wanted to go back for enjoyment. He would only go back for the win, and he did.
After a lot of reflection, Casey took the lessons he learned in 2019 and applied them to the 2020 race. He teamed up with South African navigator Sean Berriman. They enlisted the help of DAKAR veteran Jimmy Lewis. Lewis has been successful at DAKAR despite admitting that he was not the fastest, but maybe the best at navigating. If Casey’s nemesis was navigation, Jimmy Lewis was the man to learn from.
On stage 7, Casey put 30 minutes over last year’s winner Francisco Contardo Lopez. Casey had to stop for a flat tire, but Lopez had bigger problems that cost him time. Casey did not get his lead by pushing beyond his limits or throwing caution to the wind, he just lost less time than his competition. Casey maintained this same strategy every day. Run smart, stay on course, and let the others try to beat him. Stage 8 was a tough one. Casey would break an axle shaft, and have to make repairs out on the course. With several high-speed sections, including a 40 km straight line, their belt temperatures began to soar. In order to avoid failure and a more time-costly repair, they stopped to swap in a new belt. They lost 16 minutes that day but maintained the overall lead.
Casey continued to hold the lead by not only running fast, but precise. During the final stage, Casey let others duke it out for the stage win and concentrated on the overall standings. He had so much at stake. He carried the weight of the entire Monster Energy team on his shoulders, but he was also racing for the United States, and making history at the same time. Along with Ricky Brabec, Casey’s 2020 win will forever be in the history books as America’s first at DAKAR.

New Cancer Research Backs Vaping Over Smoking
If you are already a member in the world of vape, then you know that there are individuals, groups, and entire governments that are vigorously working against vaping. Many tend to site misconceptions about the dangers of vaping for their justification. But, what these people are hearing and siting are often mainstream, false statements. Fortunately, there are credible researchers conducting studies that help us uncover the truth, which is that vaping isn’t unsafe especially in comparison to smoking.
One of the newest studies initiating from the U.K. has reinforced the notion that vaping is safer in terms of health compared to smoking. The study was conducted by observing ex-smokers using nicotine replacement therapies (NRT), ex-smokers vaping exclusively for at least six months, and current smokers.
The study’s results demonstrated that vaping greatly decreased their exposure to cancerous toxins. Some of the most hazardous carcinogens were found at the lowest levels with those who abandoned smoking. One element found in several cancers that smokers face (NNAL) was reduced by a grand total of 97 percent. The presence of volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) were similar. For example, acrolein is believed to be the root of lung cancer and had reduced existence by about 67 percent.
Dual users, people who used a mixture of vaping or NRT and smoking, did not show momentous distinction in cancerous levels compared to full-time smokers.
Experts are weighing in on this study delivering positive feedback. Dr. Siegel of Boston University went so much as to say, “The bottom line of this study is that there is now no scientific uncertainty: vaping is much safer than smoking.”
So if you were on the fence about trying to switch to vaping, know that you can do so with complete confidence. You can quit smoking today by transitioning to vaping.

Syndicate of Lenders Begins Financing Nakhodka’s Natural Gas Processing Plant Construction
29 january 2020 года
The syndicate of lenders (VEB.RF and VTB Bank), along with the Far East Development Fund (part of the VEB.RF Group), has provided financing for the construction investment project of Nakhodka Fertilizer Plant in Nakhodka, Primorye Territory. On receiving prepayment, the foreign contractor, China Chengda Engineering Co., Ltd., has already started work under the EPC contract. Nakhodka Fertilizer Plant is to work at full capacity before the end of 2023.
The total design capacity of the project’s first phase is 1.8 million tonnes of methanol per year. Natural gas for production will be supplied from Sakhalin fields. The facility’s production processes and products will meet the strictest environmental standards.
The project is financed by the VEB.RF and VTB Bank syndicate on the principles of the Project Financing Factory. In addition, the Far East Development Fund allocated 7 billion roubles for the construction project, and some of the funds have already been disbursed to the project initiator as part of the first drawdown.
When completed, the project will create over 1,500 highly professional jobs in the Primorye Territory. The plant will bring about a massive increase in tax revenue, improve the efficiency of using natural resources and strengthen Russia’s position in the Asia-Pacific markets.

Financed Dialysis Centre in Operation in Tver
Created with financial support from VEB.RF, a dialysis centre opened its doors in Tver.
The project initiator is InstroyRegion. The Tver-based Nephroline haemodialysis centre began operation in December 2019. The centre is equipped with 27 latest-generation artificial kidneys made by Nikkiso, Japan, a world leader in haemodialysis equipment production. The centre is designed to treat a maximum of 162 patients on a three-shift basis.
The project needs to be implemented to deal with the existing issue of a shortage of high-quality medical services in relation to renal replacement therapy for patients suffering from chronic kidney failure.
The Tver Region Government cooperates with VEB.RF on socially significant projects. The cooperation agreement was signed by Governor Igor Rudenya and VEB.RF Chairman Igor Shuvalov during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in June 2019. Cooperation with the state development corporation allows the projects to receive optimal financial support, Igor Rudenya said.
“High-technology healthcare infrastructure is one of VEB.RF’s investment priorities. The experience of building modern medical centres and creating the conditions for effective medical care should be extended to other regions. VEB.RF is involved in the construction of two more dialysis centres in Naro-Fominsk and Sergiyev Posad,” VEB.RF’s First Deputy Chairman and Member of the Board Nikolay Tsekhomsky said. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/2598 | {"url": "https://veb.ru/en/press-center/42667/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "veb.ru", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:45:09Z", "digest": "sha1:Z27GCQ7J4V2CPJZ24OFZNJNEXWRFWBMZ"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3273, 3273.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3273, 6402.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3273, 16.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3273, 133.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3273, 0.92]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3273, 298.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3273, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3273, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3273, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3273, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3273, 0.2893401]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3273, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3273, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3273, 0.01839588]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3273, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3273, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3273, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3273, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3273, 0.01287712]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3273, 0.01324503]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3273, 0.01103753]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3273, 0.04399323]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3273, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3273, 0.15059222]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3273, 0.53909465]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3273, 5.59259259]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3273, 0.00676819]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3273, 5.06272359]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3273, 486.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 91, 0.0], [91, 112, 0.0], [112, 567, 1.0], [567, 830, 1.0], [830, 1150, 1.0], [1150, 1427, 1.0], [1427, 1551, 0.0], [1551, 1639, 0.0], [1639, 1719, 0.0], [1719, 1794, 0.0], [1794, 1840, 0.0], [1840, 1928, 1.0], [1928, 2277, 1.0], [2277, 2485, 1.0], [2485, 2862, 1.0], [2862, 3273, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 91, 0.0], [91, 112, 0.0], [112, 567, 0.0], [567, 830, 0.0], [830, 1150, 0.0], [1150, 1427, 0.0], [1427, 1551, 0.0], [1551, 1639, 0.0], [1639, 1719, 0.0], [1719, 1794, 0.0], [1794, 1840, 0.0], [1840, 1928, 0.0], [1928, 2277, 0.0], [2277, 2485, 0.0], [2485, 2862, 0.0], [2862, 3273, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 91, 11.0], [91, 112, 4.0], [112, 567, 69.0], [567, 830, 39.0], [830, 1150, 53.0], [1150, 1427, 41.0], [1427, 1551, 22.0], [1551, 1639, 14.0], [1639, 1719, 10.0], [1719, 1794, 10.0], [1794, 1840, 7.0], [1840, 1928, 14.0], [1928, 2277, 50.0], [2277, 2485, 32.0], [2485, 2862, 52.0], [2862, 3273, 58.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 91, 0.0], [91, 112, 0.3], [112, 567, 0.00917431], [567, 830, 0.00775194], [830, 1150, 0.00318471], [1150, 1427, 0.01481481], [1427, 1551, 0.0], [1551, 1639, 0.0], [1639, 1719, 0.0], [1719, 1794, 0.0], [1794, 1840, 0.0], [1840, 1928, 0.0], [1928, 2277, 0.02654867], [2277, 2485, 0.0], [2485, 2862, 0.01084011], [2862, 3273, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 91, 0.0], [91, 112, 0.0], [112, 567, 0.0], [567, 830, 0.0], [830, 1150, 0.0], [1150, 1427, 0.0], [1427, 1551, 0.0], [1551, 1639, 0.0], [1639, 1719, 0.0], [1719, 1794, 0.0], [1794, 1840, 0.0], [1840, 1928, 0.0], [1928, 2277, 0.0], [2277, 2485, 0.0], [2485, 2862, 0.0], [2862, 3273, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 91, 0.10989011], [91, 112, 0.0], [112, 567, 0.08351648], [567, 830, 0.01520913], [830, 1150, 0.05625], [1150, 1427, 0.02527076], [1427, 1551, 0.07258065], [1551, 1639, 0.13636364], [1639, 1719, 0.1625], [1719, 1794, 0.12], [1794, 1840, 0.10869565], [1840, 1928, 0.07954545], [1928, 2277, 0.03151862], [2277, 2485, 0.00480769], [2485, 2862, 0.0795756], [2862, 3273, 0.06812652]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3273, 0.09585345]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3273, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3273, 0.21178079]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3273, -204.35723478]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3273, 31.4414196]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3273, 16.38480101]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3273, 37.0]]} |
Letter Dictation by Śyāmasundara , Los Angeles , 1972-06-22
Śyāmasundara:
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare,
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Hare Krishna.
June the 22nd, 1972.
This letter is on letterhead stationery.
My dear Madhupuri, M-a-d-h-u-p-u-r-i,
Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated June 17th 1972, and I have noted the contents carefully. Generally, we may never expect to find any utopia so long we are in this material world, and sometimes unless we are very spiritually advanced we may also feel discomfort within the temples..., within the temple itself. That is to be expected in some cases. Therefore, you should not be very much worried. Misunderstandings and disagreements will come, even Krishna was sometimes quarreling with demons and even with the gopis like Radharani.
So because quarreling is there in Krishna, so sometimes we are also quarreling, but we should not take this matter very seriously. After all, despite all of their faults, the Vaisnava devotees must be given always all respects and assistance in serving the Lord. If we do not work cooperatively in this way, the whole thing will deteriorate. As you increase numerically more and more your chanting of Hare Krishna mantra and increase also your daily reading of books, gradually you will come to the platform where there is no anxiety in spite of everything, and that is the potency of our devotional life.
So you may live separately husband and wife, because you cannot cope with the temple life. But always remember to execute the rules and regulations and worship the Deities at your home very diligently. Try to read the books as often as you possibly can and try to discuss the subject matter from different angles of vision with your husband and the other devotees. The more you become familiar with our philosophy, the more you will become convinced and free from doubt. But if there is no possibility for learning the philosophy, then try to chant Hare Krishna constantly and you will realize the same effect of becoming actually happy.
Hoping this meets you and your husband, Mangalamaya, M-a-n-g-a-l-a-m-a-y-a, in good health.
Your ever well-wisher A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami.

My dear Mondakini, M-o-n-d-a-k-i-n-i,
Please accept my blessings. I am in receipt of your letter dated June 17th 1972, and I have noted the contents carefully. Never mind there has been some setback in our progress for establishing our Krishna consciousness movement in Moscow, M-o-s-c-o-w, now you have more information what is required to make the mission successful next time. It is all part of Krishna’s plan, so do not take it with discouragement. I note that you will not be prepared for leaving until sometime in September next, therefore, as I am coming to Paris by the 21st of July, we shall meet then and discuss everything.
Hoping this meets you in good health you ever well-wisher A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami.

My dear Hansadutta, H-a-n-s-a-d-u-t-t-a,
Please accept my blessings.
I am in due receipt of your letter dated June 20th, 1972, and I did receive two letters from Wolfram, W-o-l-f-r-a-m, Ossenbrink, O-s-s-e-n-b-r-i-n-k, and Han, H-a-n, Koster, K-o-s-t-e-r, dated 29th May, 1972, but there was no letter of recommendation from you. So anyway I am very much pleased to accept the boys as my duly initiated disciples, and their letter is enclosed herewith. Also please find enclosed herewith 3 sacred threads and 4 copies of Gayatri mantra duly chanted by me.
Now hold a fire yagna, y-a-g-n-a, and teach the other big officers in Germany temples how to perform this fire yagna very perfectly, and give Gayatri mantra to Astaratha, A-s-t-a-r-a-t-h-a, Surabi, S-u-r-a-b-i, dasi, d-a-s-i, Sachinandan, S-a-c-h-i-n-a-n-d-a-n, and Chakravarty, C-h-a-k-r-a-v-a-r-t-y. I think you have got a copy of the tape of me reciting Gayatri mantra, so play it to them through the right ear hole with earphones.
I am very pleased to see the things are going on and that new centers are opening many in Germany. Now I am feeling very much inclined for retiring behind the scenes to translate my Śrīmad-Bhagavatam. This means that now you all leaders, especially the GBC members, must become very much responsible and do the work that I am doing in the..., to the same standard. So I want you leaders especially to become very much absorbed in the philosophy of Bhagavad-gītā, Śrīmad-Bhagavatam, and become yourselves completely convinced and free from all doubt. In this...
On this platform you shall be able to carry on the work satisfactorily, but if there is lack of knowledge or if there is forgetfulness, everything will be spoiled in time. So especially you must encourage the students to read our books throughout the day as much as possible, and give them all good advice how to understand the books, and inspire them to study the things from every point of view. In this way, by constantly engaging our tongues in the service of the Lord, either by discussing his philosophy or by chanting Hare Krishna, the truth is that Krishna Himself will reveal Himself to us and we shall understand how to do everything properly. Now we have got so many students and so many temples, but I am fearful that if we expand too much in this way that we shall become weak..., weakened..., that we shall become weakened and gradually the whole thing will be lost.
Just like milk. We may thin it more and more with water for cheating the customer, but in the end it will cease to be any longer milk. Better to boil the milk now very vigorously and make it thick and sweet, that is the best process. So let us concentrate on training our devotees very thoroughly in the knowledge of Krishna consciousness from our books, from tapes, by discussing always, and in so many ways instruct them in the right propositions.
I hope this meets you and your good wife Haimavati, H-a-i-m-a-v-a-t-i, in good health, and I shall be arriving in London sometimes on the 5th July, so you may all come to London at your convenience and see me there.

The next letter on letterhead stationery.
My dear sons,
I am very pleased to learn from Hansadutta that since receiving instructions to study our philosophy, join on sankirtan party, and chant at least 16 rounds of these daily, you have carried out these advices and now you're feeling ready to engage yourselves wholeheartedly in the service of Krishna. I am very glad to know that you have been receiving expert guidance from Sriman, S-r-i-m-a-n, Hansadutta das and you have been following the regulated principles.
So I am very glad to accept you as my initiated students. I have chanted your beads duly and I have sent them under separate cover. Your initiated names are as follows:
