Brinda Charry is a self-confessed loner, a bit of an arch cynic and a brooding romantic. Her short stories have won several prizes while her two novels – The Hottest Day of the Year and Naked in the Wind – have garnered critical acclaim. The reclusive New England-based wordsmith whose syncretic fiction often returns to the city of Bangalore where she grew up, speaks to Gitanjali Shahani about life, love and literature
Brinda
Charry is a ‘quiet eccentric’ and a self-confessed loner. This reclusive
novelist and English professor enjoys the solitary pleasures of writing
in ‘a room of one’s own’. She lives in a quaint New England town, yet
her fiction repeatedly returns to the city of Bangalore, where she grew
up. But her outpourings are no ‘emotions recollected in tranquility’.
In fact, the narratives unfold amidst traumatic family situations, caste
wars and communal strife. Even love is a violent, highly fraught emotion
in her work. And yet, her characters strive to connect across divisive
boundaries. They are culled from the different literary and cultural
traditions that influenced the writer in her formative years.
You grew up reading Jane Austen as much as A. K. Ramanujan, Shashi Deshpande
as much as William Shakespeare. How do you negotiate these different
literary influences in your own writing?Like many Indians, my influences were varied. I believe that the
richest writing in the world comes from those exposed to multiple literary
and cultural traditions. As a child and adolescent I did not make too
much of the fact that these writers came from different traditions and
that many of them wrote of experiences not my own. (I was no different
from, in fact I was, I imagined, the young Jane Eyre of Brontë’s novel!)
As an adult I am, of course, more aware of differences in literary traditions,
but as a writer I am often able to set my awareness aside when I am
absorbed in the business of reading. In fact, I cannot consecutively
read two books from the same part of the world! I read for pleasure,
for inspiration – and the fact is that I get all of this from a range
of writing. When I read Indian writers I am moved by the familiarity
of the worlds they set up, when I read ‘other’ writers I am stimulated
by the excitement of experiencing the foreign and the distant. I do
believe (and this is at the risk of incurring the wrath of critics!)
that there are aspects of the human experience that are ‘universal’
– and I don’t mean this in any simplistic way, but good writing can
make you empathise with all manner of experiences and make them your
own. This is what I strive to do in my own work.
When did you start writing?
So long back that I cannot remember! I was a voracious reader and somehow from very early on I was sensitive to technique. I started writing poetry at the age of four or five (the birth of my baby brother inspired the first poem I ever wrote – I still have it somewhere). I wrote poetry till I was 12 or so, realised I was terrible at it, discovered the delights of writing fiction and it’s been fiction ever since.
You’ve mentioned that your outer landscape and inner mindscape are very
much at odds, given the world you inhabit in New Hampshire. The fir
trees, snow-covered roads and grey skies around you rarely make their
way into your work. Why do you find yourself returning to the streets
of Bangalore or the neighbourhoods of Thiruninravur?
I am someone who needs to live in a place a long, long time before I acquire a sense of intimacy with it. While I may not go into painstaking detail in my descriptions of locale, I like to capture the ‘aura’ or ‘feel’ of a place and I feel I am not yet ready to do that with the United States. Regional differences, the quirks and eccentricities of the ‘local’ in America are not immediately obvious to the foreign eye, but I am beginning to get a sense of that now and find it exciting. Maybe this will soon stimulate me enough to set some of my work against the snow and skies of New England. Perhaps I might write a novel on being the literal ‘Boston Brahmin’!

fa(s)t foodJennifer Flaten
I admit it, I am a sucker for those quick useless articles that appear on my
browser's home page, I know they are nothing but fluff, but I just can't help
myself.
The latest gossip, yeah I click it.
I just can't resist titles that promise to tell me what stars behaved badly at
their hotel, what ugly outfits were sported on the red carpet, and I will even
click the link to see if Michael Phelps won the meet wearing an old swimsuit or
a new swimsuit.
I am well aware that all of these stories have no inherent value; still I can't
resist reading this drivel.
Aside from trivia, gossip and fashion, there is one other type of article I
can't resist reading-food articles.
If the story claims to reveal how many calories are in America's restaurant
food-I click it. Yep, if the banner says "America's Fattest Foods", "Worst
Restaurant Food"-whatever I will read it.
I have absolutely no explanation for why; I fascinated by the calorie counts in
fast/restaurant food.
I swear I am not a food Nazi. I don't run around counting the calories in
everything I eat, I don't blot the grease off pizza and I really, really think
dessert is a food group, but for some reason, I must read these articles.
I think it is because I hardly ever eat out. When I do go to a fast food place
for the kids, I usually get a salad, so I enjoy feeling smug that I don't eat
this unhealthy food.
According to these articles, there is not one item you can eat from a restaurant
that isn't all fatty or sugary or salty, whether it is a sandwich, drink or combo.
I don't know how those food scientists do it, but they manage to make a cup of
coffee fattening.
I am both repulsed and fascinated.
First, comes the revulsion as I read the descriptions of the latest mega burger,
you know the giant burger comprised of ½ a cow, a slab of bacon, and sauce out
the wazoo.
For some reason, every chain restaurant feels compelled to have some ignoramus
burger on the menu.
As I read the description, I can't help but wonder who exactly would eat that
much food in one sitting.
After reading the descriptions of the big burgers, fascination takes over.
I am fascinated at how even though these articles exist, telling us repeatedly
how unhealthy these food items are we continue to eat badly and we continue to
have articles telling us that eating a whole chicken stuffed with a pizza is
bad. It is a vicious circle.
Anyway, even with these articles, and books and even Oprah for god's sake,
telling people how horrible these foods are for people, we still eat them.
If you take, a look around it appears that we are eating a whole lot of them by
the looks of our general society.
I think we all understand that food made in restaurants especially fast food
joints is inherently bad for you, what with the grease, preservatives etc.
Yet, it does seem like the restaurants are going out of their way to make stuff
that is super unhealthy.
I picture the food developers huddled in a lab somewhere cackling madly as they
mix pure lard in with a tub of ground beef. Yeah, the new lard burger-3,000
calories-yum.
Obviously, test markets are giving these products the thumbs up regardless of
the fact that one particular sandwich that had meat, bacon, sauce and onion
rings on it clocked in at 2,000 calories.
That sandwich could feed a family of four and somehow the restaurant manages to
convince the public through clever marketing that it is a meal for one person.
If the average bear were at home, would they whip that sandwich up? Probably
not, so why would they scarf it down at the drive thru? In peoples mind, does
the drive thru negate the calories?
Now, as I am reading these articles and marveling over the wrongness of the
accused food, I also feel wrong for caring how many calories are in something.
I want to be back in a simpler time where people ate food because they were
hungry and they were hungry because they worked hard. It didn't matter if the
food was a little high in calories it would be burned off in all the hard work.
Unfortunately, that is never going to happened, so I must continue to read my
"what not to eat articles."
Jennifer Flaten lives where the local delicacy is fried cheese, Wisconsin.
She writes about family life, its amusing or not so amusing moments. "At least it's not another article on global warming," she says. Jennifer bakes a mean banana bread and admits an unusual attraction to balloon animals and cup cakes. Busy preparing for the zombie apocalypse, she stills finds time to write "As I See It," her witty, too often true column. "My urge to write," says Jennifer, "is driven by my love of cupcakes, with sprinkles on top. Who wouldn't write for cupcakes, with sprinkles," she wonders.

I want give some custom message. Like "Unknown error or syntax error in json request", I gave try catch in my controller fucntion but looks like try catch doesnt catch it" it throw error befor it come in to the try catch block.
do you know hot to do it ?
Thanks in advance
A:
Yes, you can do it easily if you are working with express.
Below is the code of my api server that you can find the sources HERE.
I'm using typescript but the same can be achieved with javascript at 0 cost.
ErrorMiddleware
This middleware can catch any error thrown. As you can see there is a specific SyntaxError that can catch malformed JSON and reply to the client.
import { Response, Request, NextFunction } from 'express';
import { UnauthorizedError } from 'express-jwt';
import logger from '@app/logger';
import { EnvUtil } from '@app/util';
import { ResponseHelper, HttpStatusCode } from '@app/helper';
import { EmptyFileError } from '@app/common/error';
export default class ErrorMiddleware {
public static handle(err: Error, _req: Request, res: Response, _next: NextFunction): void {
if (err instanceof UnauthorizedError) {
logger.warn(`Authentication with JWT failed due to ${err.message}`);
ResponseHelper.send(res, HttpStatusCode.UNAUTHORIZED);
} else if (err instanceof SyntaxError) {
logger.warn(`Malformed JSON due to ${err.message}`);
ResponseHelper.send(res, HttpStatusCode.BAD_REQUEST, [err.message]);
} else {
logger.error(`Internal Server error due to ${err.message}`);
ResponseHelper.send(
res,
HttpStatusCode.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR,
EnvUtil.isDevelopment() ? err.stack : undefined
);
}
}
}
Express app
When you create the Express app remember to register (with use) the ErrorMiddleware. I register the error middleware Here.
import express from 'express';
import bodyParser from 'body-parser';
import { ErrorMiddleware } from '@app/middleware';
const app = express();
// JSON body parser
app.use(bodyParser.json())
// Before error middleware configure all your express app
app.use(ErrorMiddleware.handle);
ResponseHelper
This class handle the response given the res express parameter, http status code you want to return and some data (optional). You can find the implementation Here.
You can find the implementation of httpStatusCode Here
As you can see the interface Response is the mapping for all API responses with:
status: string success or fail
is_success: boolean true if is success, false otherwise
status_code: http status code
status_code_name: http status code description
data: the data (any type)
import { Response as ExpressResponse } from 'express';
import HttpStatusCode, { Status } from './httpStatusCode';
export interface Response {
status: Status;
is_success: boolean;
status_code: number;
status_code_name: string;
data: object;
}
export default class ResponseHelper {
public static send(
res: ExpressResponse,
httpStatusCode: HttpStatusCode,
data: any = undefined
): void {
res
.status(httpStatusCode.code)
.json(<Response>{
status: httpStatusCode.status(),
is_success: httpStatusCode.isSuccess(),
status_code: httpStatusCode.code,
status_code_name: httpStatusCode.name,
data,
})
.end();
}
}
You can test the application sending malformed JSON at the following URL: https://racer-2020.herokuapp.com/api/v1/car
The error response will be the following:
{
"status": "fail",
"is_success": false,
"status_code": 400,
"status_code_name": "Bad Request",
"data": [
"Unexpected end of JSON input"
]
}
In the source code you can find other middleware that handle for example a not found route path.
Hope it helps :)

1. Introduction
===============
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by arterial and venous thrombosis caused by antiphospholipid antibodies.^\[[@R1]\]^ Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) was first described by Asherson in 1992^\[[@R2]\]^ (therefore also known as Asherson syndrome) as a rare life-threatening condition of antiphospholipid syndrome with multiple intravascular thrombosis that occurred within 1 week leading to organ ischemia and multiple organ failure. This rare condition is often overlooked since most patients are hospitalized in emergency condition with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Treatment and management of CAPS remain challenging and the mortality rate is approximately 50% among cases.^\[[@R3],[@R4]\]^ In this paper, we describe a case of a 40-year-old male CAPS patient who had undergone massive bowel resection. After 2 years treated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), the patient experienced good clinical condition. The patient has provided informed consent for publication of the case.
2. Case presentation
====================
A 40-year-old Vietnamese male patient was admitted to our hospital due to acute abdominal pain for the last 2 days. On day 1, while driving, the patient experienced sudden epigastric pain and was admitted to a private clinic and prescribed an endoscopy which had shown normal results, treatment is unknown but the pain was not relieved. On the next day, the patient continuously had epigastric pain, accompanied by nausea and melena. He was admitted to a district hospital with a diagnosis of bowel necrosis due to obstruction of superior mesenteric artery and transferred to a tertiary hospital on the same day. He has a history of deep vein thrombosis in both legs for over 10 years being treated with Acenocoumarol (adjusted dose according to international normalized ratio \[INR\]) for 2 years combined with Daflon, but has discontinued Acenocoumarol for the last 8 years. In terms of family history, he has a sister diagnosed with cerebral stroke and hypertension at 49-year old.
On clinical examination at admission, the patient was alert and oriented but significant pale skin and mucous membranes with toxic appearance were noticed. His pulse rate was 160 bpm, blood pressure was 95/70 mm Hg (under nor-adrenalin infusion), respiratory rate was 24 times per minute and temperature was 37^o^C. Urine = 0 mL. His height was 162 cm, weight was 80 kg, BMI of 32 indicated obese. He has significant continuous melena. A nasogastric tube was inserted for drainage and decompression to prepare for a surgery on the lower gastrointestinal tract. Green-colored gastric residual indicated a low probability of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. With pain throughout the abdomen, positive signs of abdominal resistance were recorded.
Laboratory findings revealed disseminated intravascular coagulation with low platelet 64,000/mm^3^, prothrombin time 54.9 s, INR 1.91 (under treatment with Lovenox), aPPT 45.8 s, fibrinogen 4.67 g/L, protein C 71%, protein S 51%. Result of quantitative analysis of factor Leiden V factor was 2.61. Diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was excluded with antinuclear antibody negative, anti-dsDNA 0 IU/mL, SLE (LE cell) negative.
Ultrasonography of the lower extremity veins revealed partial occlusion of lower extremity veins in both legs from popliteal vein to external iliac vein and great saphenous veins close to the saphenofemoral junction. Abdominal computed tomography scan with contrast demonstrated a low attenuation area accounted for one-third under spleen, thought to be infarction, almost complete occlusion of superior mesenteric artery, partial occlusion of the superior mesenteric vein, main portal vein, parts of left portal vein close to the splitting site, thrombosis of left renal vein, and complete occlusion of spleen vein, right portal vein, inferior vena cava collapse (Fig. [1](#F1){ref-type="fig"}). Histopathological examination of 2 intestinal segments of about 1 cm long revealed ulcerative colitis, hemorrhage from mucosa to serosa. Antiphospholipid tests reported positive lupus anticoagulant. After receiving the examination results and considering the acute occurrence, rapid progression, and multiple venous thrombosis in this patient, we suspected that this case is CAPS. The patient had fulfilled classification criteria for CAPS,^\[[@R5]\]^ including vascular thrombosis of at least 3 organs, systems, or tissues (including lower extremity veins, superior mesenteric vein, spleen vein, and renal vein); symptoms occur within 1 week; histopathological evidence of intravascular thrombosis at least in 1 organ, or tissue and presence of antiphospholipid antibody (lupus anticoagulant) at 2 examination every 12 weeks. For the antibody criterion, examination was repeated after 4 months and 1 year to confirm the diagnosis (Table [1](#T1){ref-type="table"}).
{#F1}
######
Tests to diagnose antiphospholipid syndrome.
Emergency surgery was performed immediately to remove a total of approximately 6 m of the necrotic small intestine (Fig. [2](#F2){ref-type="fig"}), the remaining small intestine was 40 cm after the duodenum and 80 cm before the ileocaecal valve. Anticoagulants were prescribed with low molecular weight heparin (Lovenox 0.6 mL × 2 subcutaneous injection every 12 hours). When clinical outcomes are stable he was switched to Acenocoumarol (Sintrom) with dose adjusted in accordance with INR value (target INR from 2 to 3). The patient was discharged after 3 months. At revisit, his condition was stable but INR did not reach the target value and was continuously unable to be controlled after 3 follow-up revisits, so he was switched to DOACs, specifically dabigatran (Pradaxa) 110 mg twice daily or rivaroxaban (Xarelto) 15 mg per day (depending on the drug available under health insurance program). For the last 12 months until now, the patient has been prescribed rivaroxaban 15 mg per day. During 24 months of follow-up, the patient did not develop new thrombosis or relapse CAPS and his state remained stable.
{#F2}
3. Discussion and conclusion
============================
Management of CAPS with bowel necrosis is challenging. Although studies have highlighted the importance of clinical suspicion to immediately provide proper treatment that can improve survival, the diagnosis is difficult due to the rareness of this disease.^\[[@R6]--[@R8]\]^ Treatment for the disease remains elusive since a high mortality rate was consistently reported, including a 67-year-old woman who died 15 days after admission^\[[@R6]\]^ and a 50-year-old man who died 22 days after admission.^\[[@R8]\]^ Recently, a 29-year-old CAPS patient survived after jejunal excision and duodeno-ileostomy was reported by Lee ^\[[@R7]\]^ Similar to our case, this patient was managed by low molecular weight heparin followed by DOACs after discharging, but the effectiveness of thromboprophylaxis was not mentioned probably because the follow-up time was not sufficiently long enough.^\[[@R7]\]^ Another problem that needs to be taken into consideration is the impact of drug absorption, especially in cases undergoing extensive bowel resection. Since previous studies about CAPS with bowel necrosis are mainly case reports, guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of this condition are developed with "very low certainty of evidence."^\[[@R9]\]^ We found that DOACs can be an effective secondary thromboprophylaxis for CAPS patient who had undergone massive bowel resection. Important clinical suggestions can be proposed from the clinical course of this case.
In terms of diagnosis, this is a young patient with a history of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis for more than 10 years who had been treated with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for 2 years and discontinued in the last 8 years. The risk factors of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in this patient are obesity and occupation requires prolonged sedentary time, both have not been well controlled despite being monitored during 2 years of treatment. Moreover, during the previous 10 years, there was no diagnosis of APS and thus thromboprophylaxis was not strictly concerned. Conditions leading to this admission were acute manifestation of venous system occlusion: lower extremities veins in both legs, spleen veins, portal vein, superior mesenteric veins, renal, and superior mesenteric artery in 2 days which had caused life-threatening condition. According to the Sydney 2006 criteria for the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome,^\[[@R10]\]^ the patient had met 2 criteria: clinical criteria: multiple venous thrombosis and arterial thrombosis and lab criteria: the presence of lupus anticoagulant in plasma. Differential diagnoses of positive lupus anticoagulant including systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune diseases, cancer or taking certain medications such as phenothiazines, penicillin, quinidine, hydralazine, procainamide, was excluded because the clinical manifestations of the patient were discordant to these conditions. Tests that help to identify systemic lupus erythematosus including antinuclear antibody, anti dsDNA, and SLE also yielded negative results.
Experts concluded that the treatment for CAPS is extremely difficult, of which the mortality rate is still as high as around 50% of cases.^\[[@R3],[@R4]\]^ It is recommended to manage CAPS with anticoagulants, steroids, plasmapheresis, and/or intravenous immunoglobulins.^\[[@R11]\]^ For first-line treatment, best practice guidelines strongly recommend the use of therapeutic dose anticoagulation, especially unfractionated heparin, while other therapies are considered conditional recommendation.^\[[@R9]\]^ Glucocorticoid would benefit patients with concomitant active systemic lupus erythematosus, immune thrombocytopenia, or small vessel vasculitis; plasmapheresis is useful for cases with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, while there is some evidence to use intravenous immunoglobulins patients with immune thrombocytopenia.^\[[@R9]\]^ Our patient was given emergency surgery to remove the necrotic bowel segments (Fig. [2](#F2){ref-type="fig"}) caused by superior mesenteric artery and vein occlusion. Following the first-line treatment from best practice guideline, we used low molecular weight heparin (Lovenox) 0.6 mL subcutaneous injection every 12 hours and switched to Acenocoumarol (Sintrom) when the patient discharged. At revisit, the patient condition was stable but INR did not reach the target value and was continuously unable to control after 3 follow-up revisits, so he was switched to dabigatran (Pradaxa) 110 mg twice daily or rivaroxaban (Xarelto) 15 mg per day. According to the 2018 European Heart Rhythm Association Practical Guideline, DOACs should be used with recommended dosage and the INR is unsuitable for the assessment of the anticoagulant activity of DOACs^\[[@R12]\]^ and therefore was not monitored during using DOACs. A meta-analysis in 2018 has shown that among APS patients treated with DOACs, most recurrent thromboses occur within 12 months after initial treatment, of which the risk of triple-positive patients is 4-fold higher than other subgroups.^\[[@R13]\]^ Our patient was positive for lupus anticoagulant only, and as no thrombosis event was observed in our patient during 24 months of follow-up, we suggest that DOACs is an effective and reasonable treatment for non-triple-positive APS.
Controversy has been raised when comparing the thromboprophylaxis efficacy and safety of DOACs and VKAs. Most studies had shown that rivaroxaban did not reach the noninferiority threshold to VKAs,^\[[@R14],[@R15]\]^ therefore VKAs remained the first-line treatment for lifelong thromboprophylaxis in APS patients.^\[[@R1]\]^ However, since the risk for recurrent thrombosis was nonsignificant in those trials, authors suggested that DOACs could be considered an effective and safe alternative therapy for specific APS subgroups,^\[[@R1],[@R13],[@R14]\]^ as long as DOACs is avoided in triple-positive APS.^\[[@R16]\]^ The 2019 European League Against Rheumatism concluded that DOACs can be used to handle cases who are intolerant to vitamin K antagonists.^\[[@R1]\]^ Another factor that must be taken into consideration is in terms of pharmacokinetics, VKAs are absorbed primarily in the small intestine while DOACs such as dabigatran and rivaroxaban are absorbed primarily in the stomach.^\[[@R1]\]^ Our patient had undergone massive bowel resection including part of duodenum, jejunum, and ileum (Fig. [3](#F3){ref-type="fig"}), the absorption of VKAs is severely affected since the INR was continuously unable to be controlled after 3 revisits. In concordance with the case report from Lee ^\[[@R7]\]^ DOACs were chosen for our patient and have proved their efficiency during 24 months of follow-up.
{#F3}
In conclusion, CAPS is a rare, life-threatening condition of antiphospholipid syndrome, the diagnosis of which is often overlooked due to emergency situations of patients when hospitalized. It is important to pay attention to cases of multiple, recurrent occlusion to have early diagnosis and aggressive treatment that improve survival of patients. Several factors must be considered when prescribing secondary thromboprophylaxis for CAPS patients, particularly those who had undergone bowel resection. While VKAs is amongst the most important and fundamental treatment, physicians should be aware that VKAs are absorbed via the small intestine. For CAPS cases who are unable to absorb VKAs, DOACs is a reasonable alternative which has been found to be as safe and effective as VKAs in terms of thrombosis prevention.

Other advocates of lockerless schools also cite reasons such as reducing noise by eliminating the clang of dozens of locker doors,[1] or creating a more appealing environment aesthetically. It has also been claimed that removing lockers provides good training for students by forcing them to be more efficient in managing their books, and taking the time to plan what books they will need, and carrying only those ones.

Factory Building
Álvaro Siza, 1994
The large and simple brick building designed by Álvaro Siza is reminiscent of anonymous factory buildings from the 19th century and is extremely unobtrusive in comparison to the other buildings on the grounds. The most eye-catching feature of the building is its curved bridge roof, which connects the building to the neighbouring one. It is so high that it does not obstruct the view of the Fire Station by Zaha Hadid and automatically lowers in rainy weather, thus protecting the logistics vehicles on their way to the Grimshaw building. With its brick facing, Álvaro Siza’s production facility makes reference to the production hall that burned down in 1981.

When and how do you start to create?
I was asked to be photographed for a friends promotional materials in April of 2007. I shot with Alex Covo, a fashion photographer in NYC. Implied nudes were included in the requested content, and after realizing how well we worked together, I was asked to help him with a personal project. After our second shoot, with resulting images consistently appealing, Alex advised me to start freelancing as a nude art model. He supplied me with a few websites where I could network and give myself some exposure. I continued to gain experience, and was contacted by many talented photographers, who helped further my career. Everything else fell into place.

Managing Heat Stress Events in Flying Fox Colonies
Heat Stress Event Workshop,15th November 2014, RSPCA Wacol
As a response to the devastating heat stress event on 4th January
2014, Bats Qld and the RSPCA organized a workshop to offer training on how to handle a heat stress events in a bat colony to reduce
deaths and limit the number of animals that are taken into care and how to triage and treat those animals once they are in care.
The
workshop was attended by a wide range of interested groups from wildlife groups from as far away as Sydney, almost all of the SE Qld
groups and others up to central Queensland as well as representatives from state and local governments.
The workshop was organised
by Charmaine Brayley.
The presenters were Linda Collins, co-author of the definitive manual on managing heat stress, Dr Tania Bishop, wildlife vet at the
RSPCA who has extensive skills and experience in working with heat stressed bats, and Dr Mandy Paterson, Principal Scientist RSPCA
who covered the issues of zoonosis and PPE.
After the main speakers, a forum was held where there was a general consensus as to the
need of a communication network to include all participants in a HSE and also the need to formalize a monitoring system for colonies,
especially those colonies that have proved susceptible to a HSE.
The only downside to the day was the news of potential HSE happening
in colonies to the north and west of Wacol and the subsequent need for some participants to leave to monitor the colonies.
Workshop Documents
The material from the workshop is available as pdf's via the links below. As more material relevant to
heat stress events becomes available it will be added to the list so please occasionally revisit this site to check for more information.
The weather bureau is predicting a very hot and dry summer with
much higher than average temperatures starting in November 2015. This means that there is a very strong possibility of one or more
heat stress events in bat colonies in SE Queensland. There was a heat stress event in November 2014 at Caboolture and Casino.
Bat
carers need to be prepared with the latest colony management techniques and equipment in order to reduce the fatalities resulting
from a HSE.
Anyone who is prepared to work at the Woodford, Kilcoy, Caboolture or Burpengary colonies during
a HSE and would like to know what is involved.
Anyone who is interested in being prepared for a HSE at any other colony.
Anyone who
is willing to share their plans and preparations. The more input from different sources, the better the final plan and the better
outcome for the bats.
The aim of the morning was to
Explain the Woodford colony plan
Revise the operation timeline and requirements when volunteers arrive
at a colony, when sprayers move into the colony to start spraying and at what stage animals (adults and babies) should be picked up
for triage.
Demonstrate the equipment for water transport and back pack sprayers.
Provide information about equipment needed and preparations
that should be made by individual volunteers.
List the equipment that is available at Woodford to reduce doubling up of some equipment.
Recommend the first aid kit that a volunteer should bring and display the contents of the first aid kit that will be available at
Woodford.
Run through the triage operations and review how to recognize when an animal needs vet attention.

In February 2013 and during the entire year, the Sovereign Order of Malta celebrated a significant anniversary. Exactly 900 years have elapsed since Pope Paschal II promulgated the Solemn Privilege in 1113 that officially recognised the monastic community of the Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem.
This document, identified with the initial words of its text, Pie Postulatio Voluntatis, set the legal base for the sovereignty and independence of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, known today as the Sovereign Order of Malta, and was a fundamental element for its development.
Founded in the Holy Land over half a century earlier as a monastic community looking after poor pilgrims in a hospital in Jerusalem, it is thanks to this solemn privilege that the Hospitallers of St. John became a lay and religious order.
This document has also a great institutional significance; with the bull the Pope recognised that the Order had the absolute right to ensure the continuation of its work by electing, in due time, a successor to its founder, brother Gerard.
With regards to its historic significance, the bull – today preserved in the National Library of the Republic of Malta – gives posterity an idea of the role and importance of Blessed Gerard, of his personal sanctity and of the group of professed religious who worked with him. It also highlights the importance of the services provided to pilgrims and the poor in Jerusalem.
A list of hospitals and hospices existing in France and Italy some decades after its foundation proves how the institution established by brother Gerard was not limited to the Latin kingdom of Jerusalem, but had already branched out into Europe.
Throughout 2013, the Sovereign Order of Malta’s institutions in the five continents celebrated this special anniversary with a series of initiatives. The most significant commemoration took place on 9 February 2013 in Rome when a Holy Mass was celebrated by Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone in St. Peter’s Basilica, after which Pope Benedict XVI addressed over 5,000 of the Order of Malta’s members and volunteers who came from all over the world to participate in this historic anniversary.

Teaser Bets
In NFL betting, a teaser is when you take all the games you have in a parlay, and you adjust the point spreads (or totals) in order to make the outcomes more likely to occur. You’re also reducing your possible payout at the end – that’s the bargain you strike in order to lower your risk.
Teaser bets come in three different sizes when you bet on the NFL: six points, 6.5 points and seven points. The more points you tease by, the lower your payout will be at the end.
Let’s take the Houston Texans example we used in our section on parlay betting:
Texans -4
OVER 48
If we decide to use a six-point teaser on this matchup, we’re changing the odds so they looks like this:
Texans +2
OVER 42
Those odds make it a lot easier for the Texans to cover the spread and for the over to exceed the posted total. However, your payout in this situation is -110, meaning an $11 bet will return $10 instead of $29.10 (using the multiplier of 2.645 for a two-team parlay). If you had bought a 6.5-point teaser instead, the payout would be -120. A seven-point teaser would pay out at -130.
Applying Teaser Bets
Teasers can be applied to any parlay up to 10 teams in size. The best time to use them is when you can move the point spread so that it crosses one of football’s “magic numbers” like three or seven, since more NFL games are decided by a field goal or a touchdown than any other margin. In the above example, the Texans wouldn’t have covered if they had won by a field goal, but they would have with the teaser in place. Is it worth the smaller payday? That’s up to you to decide.

Treasury Option Action: some bullish positioning Treasury Option Action: some bullish positioning included a sale of 3k in September 125.00 puts against a purchase of calls on 10-year futures. Sources are also preoccupied by the expiry of August options tomorrow, which is dominating activity on calendar rolls and the like. September 10s are 3.5-ticks lower near 126-065 compared to their 126-155 to 126-04 session range.
Treasury announced a $90 B package of coupon offerings for next week Treasury announced a $90 B package of coupon offerings for next week, as expected, including $26 B in 2-year notes (Tuesday), $35 B in 5s (Wednesday), and $29 B in 7s (Thursday). The debt managers also announced a $15 B 2-year FRN (Wednesday), and a $48 B 3- and 6-month bill sale (Monday).
Treasury Action: yields have simmered down Treasury Action: yields have simmered down after earlier swings on the historic low on claims. The leaders gain was well above low consensus, but below the revised May level. The T-note yield has steadied in the 2.32% area after jumping from 2.30% lows to 2.34% highs.
Leading Indicators data reportedJune Leading Indicators up 0.6% vs. consensus of 0.2% for the month
09:50 EDT
U.S. Leading Indicators Preview U.S. Leading Indicators Preview: June leading indicators may reveal a 0.8% (median 0.2%) increase on the heels of two consecutive 0.7% increases. The increase in permits to 1,343k for June from 1,250k should provide much of the boost that analysts expect to the headline.

For Steam users, updates are automatic. If, however, the standalone version needs manual updating.
PIXI v4 Update
It’s not without its issues, the inevitable "update blues". But most notably is the large portions of code restructure, which renders many plugins incompatible. This is particularly noticeable with PIXI.
PIXI v4
If properly installed, the above image displays in the developer’s console.
Many of the PIXI filters I used in Otherworld cause errors since updating. It’s not really a big deal going through and rewriting the code to fit; it’s just very time-consuming! Especially for those who have produced a LOT of plugins.
Encryption
One of the biggest, most beneficial, updates is being able to encrypt image and audio files. Without an encryption key, they can’t be accessed.
Encryption | RPG Maker MV v1.3
Splash Screen
Another cool addition in version 1.3 is a splash screen plugin, which shows before the Title Screen. This is certainly a welcome addition.
MV Splash Screen Plugin | RPG Maker MV v1.3
Update to V1.3.1
RPG Maker MV 1.3.1 apparently fixes some of the minor glitches that occurred in v1.3.0. To be honest, I haven’t noticed much difference, but maybe the same errors others encountered haven’t happened to me yet. I have yet to try this, so don’t know how it works. And this is certainly a welcome change from the previous implementation (through a third party) of encryption.

Sarah Steelman on Free Trade
Free trade is good policy for Americans
I unapologetically support the policies that will benefit all Americans, women and men, like limiting the size and scope of government, enforcing fiscal restraint, strengthening our military,
protecting the Second Amendment, advocating individual responsibility and advancing policies that promote free markets.

Advocate for making sure we keep Missouri jobs here
Q: Since there are so many jobs going overseas right now what policies are you going to try to bring those jobs back home?
A: Well, that's an economic development question. Small business is really the engine that drives the state economy and the
American economy. I think the state can come in and do some tax credits for venture capital that smaller businesses could access to get started. This is like a gap financing. If we can get businesses over the hump then I think we'll find that our economy
is growing more, we'll be creating more jobs here instead of shipping them abroad. A lot of the policies that dictate what's happening with that are at your federal level. But as governor I would certainly advocate for keeping Missouri jobs here any way
we can. We have [a foreign company] about to buy Anheuser-Busch; they might shut it down and take 'em to Europe. I hope they're not successful in their buyout, but as governor I have to advocate for constantly making sure we keep Missouri jobs here.

The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016.
During the summer I had a plan. That plan was simple. I was going to shoot a bunch of sets to last me through the winter. While using those sets I would invest in a new camera. And then when the spring approached, begin using that camera for all new content. Well, that was the plan and although I followed part of it, I did go off course.
If I had stayed the course I would have only needed to shoot a little more than a dozen sets because I already had a handful of them shot. I already had sets with the likes of Carlin, Charlee, Jamie, Wendy, and Mindee. Then Aliza agreed to return so I had two sets of hers that were never posted returned to the mix.
In the long run, I ended up shooting a few dozen sets and honestly haven't stopped. I don't know if it's the new camera, or just some creative energy, but I just can't stop scheduling new shoots. The rain has even caused a few to be skipped and/or rescheduled - including Mindee's neighbor, Emerald, who was set to be this week's Coming Soon teasers.
At this point in time, the number of sets I have shot and waiting to be posted is 56. With so many sets it's been fun trying to space out the models so that I'm constantly putting up everyone's favorites as well as changing up themes in the process. I try my hardest not to post, two dirty sole sets for example, back to back. So, who have I shot? Some of you might be asking - and some of you have by your emails lately. Well, here is a breakdown of who I have sets of at this point:
Some of you might be asking if this means I'm planning on stopping shoots for a bit. Well, Aspen's photo at the top of this column comes from a set we did just two days ago. We planned a trip to an amusement park together and since I haven't done any roller coaster sets in a while, I asked her if she'd be up for it. Since she loves roller coasters as much as I do, she was all for it. There would have also have been three sets shot the following day had it not rained. Those were slated to be a new model to the site and we've since rescheduled for this coming week.
Truth be told, as the weather does get cold, I will probably be using mostly those sets above. I'm not opposed to shooting indoors, but I just love shooting outside so much more. If a special occasion calls for a set, such as a holiday, then I will probably squeeze in a new one. But in all reality, it's time to use all the great content I've shot and love. But then again, if a girl is trying to flash her soles at me...
Wednesday, October 10, 2012
The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016.Boy did the weather take a dive this past week. Chilly and rainy has been mother nature's agenda the past few days. Hell, it has even affected the American League Division Series between my hometown Baltimore Orioles and the hated New York Yankees. And by the way, as you might have heard on TV, the "Yankees suck!"Now to get back on track. With the weather turning I've been trying to get in as many shoots as I can before it's just too cold. Yes, there are always indoor shoots, but I really prefer to shoot outside in some interesting locations. Plus, I literally have more than a year's worth of photos ready to be posted. As you can see, I'm not really hurting for photos.
I've been waiting to get Olivia in front of the camera with these sneakers.
Recent Set - OliviaA couple of weeks ago I asked Olivia to do a set in a pair of teal tennis shoes she wore to work. She promised me she would do her best not to get them dirty before then. I threw in the idea of adding some knee high socks to the mix and she was all for it. At this time it wasn't yet cold and Olivia did one fun set showing off her smelly teal tennis shoes and sweaty pink knee high socks.
The first set Wendy and I were able to get in on our most recent shoot.
Recent Sets - Wendy & Almost Her FriendWendy and I had made plans months ago to shoot early in October. Although I already have a lot of sets of her, she isn't the easiest for me to meet with to shoot. During our recent get together we were able to get in four more sets. It was almost three, but I pushed for a fourth one in the middle of a rain storm.
Wendy's first set was done in the middle of town, next to a water fountain. Her second set was under the porch of a train station. The third was next to a small lake. And that final one saw her feet get very muddy as she held an umbrella overhead. A sample from this set can be found at the conclusion of this column.
As for the friend, the night before Wendy asked me if I'd like to do some sets with her friend. I said yes and we planned on what we might do. The next morning, however, the girl had a change of heart and Wendy and I shot the sets above instead.
I was so happy to finally point my new camera at Mindee's perfect feet.
Recent Sets - MindeeI had been after Mindee for a few months to find time for some new sets. Mindee can be quite busy, so it was nice to finally be able to get those size 8 feet of hers back in front of my camera - which would be the first time they'd be in front of my new Canon Rebel T3i.
We didn't have a bunch of time, but we were able to get in two sets. Both were done at a waterfront park. The first one was out on a small pier/overlook on the river, and the second one, by an old rusted anchor at the park's entrance.
Missed Sets - AmeliaThis week Amelia and I both woke up late and then Amelia asked if we could reschedule the shoot. The day was honestly very cold and rainy was probably for the best anyhow. Even though I have quite a few plans ahead, I'm still looking forward to trying to get in a new set or two with Amelia.
Aliza's little Asian feet found their way back in front of my camera again.
Recent Sets - AlizaAfter missing out on our previous date for shooting, Aliza and I were able to get in two sets this week. The first was in front of an old mill and waterwheel and saw her wearing boots. The second was along the banks of a river by an old abandoned train bridge. Since it had rained the night before, the banks were so muddy. She had never done a muddy set and the mud was like pudding in some areas. I had her squish her feet right in. The photo above is one of the early ones. Her feet got VERY messy in the shots afterward.
Upcoming Set - AspenThis weekend I've made plans to hit up an amusement park with Aspen. We're both roller coaster nuts and I figured we could kill two birds with one stone by shooting some quick photos around the park as well as riding some awesome rides. I'm really looking forward to it.
Upcoming Set - EmeraldMindee's neighbor, Emerald, has expressed interest in posing on the site. The two want to do some together, but I told her I could get in some sets with her solo first. Next week she'll be showing off her size 7's and will become the site's newest sole mate.

Contact the Models
A number of the Soles of Silk models have their very own Instagram and Twitter accounts where fans can reach them. Please feel free to let them know how much you enjoyed their work here, but above all else, please be respectful. If you don't see a model on the lists below, they do not have accounts set up to be reached. For those models, please forward any comments to the main Soles of Silk accounts.
Wu's Feet Links Feature Sets, Interviews, & Columns
Back in 2005, only a few short months after Soles of Silk debut, Carmen became the first model to represent the site as a Wu's Feet Links feature model. I was deeply honored that Wu would ask me to take part in this prestigious section on his site. What I didn't know, however, was that he'd ask me to do so over and over again - each time with different models from Soles of Silk. My models have always been flattered to be picked to do these sets and I've always made sure to do some of my best work with each and every one of them.
After Wu's passing in 2014, I made sure the feature section would be a top priority in rebooting his site - Olivia's "Back to Business" site saw the relaunch of that section. Below you will find each and every set ever to be featured on Wu's Feet Links from Soles of Silk. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed shooting them.
In addition to the feature sets, two more items I decided to reboot was the Interviews and Columns sections. With the success of blogs today, I decided it would be a wise move to take those sections and create blogs for each one. I moved over all the interviews and columns from the past and have since taken over conducting/writing both. Below you will also find any interviews and/or columns that predominately feature one of the Soles of Silk models. (Note: A couple of the interviews listed are with models who either run, or at one time, ran their own sites and/or clips stores. These models also posed for Soles of Silk, so I decided to feature them here as well.)

Anti-anti-vaccination campaign in Australia
Vaccination is one of great invention of human to protect ourselves from critical diseases. Therefore, making your children vaccinated is obligated in many countries. The spread of vaccination has reduced the death rate of infants and toddlers by a considerable grade.
However, there are some people claiming that vaccination is no more effective or even harmful for children. They protect that children should be vaccine-free. Such activities were often seen so far. But recently, social media have a crucial role in spreading their claims. Some people even among nurse and midwives easily believe their erroneous thought. If some influential people are infiltrated by their biased opinion, the anti-vaccination campaign will be highly ignited. It will lead to mortality of innocent children, specialists warn.
An Australian authority has carried out a radical solution. The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia made a statement on this issue. In the comment, it is mentioned that promoting anti-vaccination can deserve to act to be prosecuted.
I think this statement is a little aggressive. Most subjects of vaccination are children. They should be protected by adults. Letting them without vaccination means a deprivation of the right to live a healthy life, as I guess the intention of this statement. I have to accept the seriousness of the issue around anti-vaccination campaign.
On the other hand, some specialists are concerned about the adverse influence of this statement. Threatening attitude to protesters can make them rather more rigid.
The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia commented,“The board expects all registered nurses, enrolled nurses and midwives to use the best available evidence in making practice decisions.” I completely agree with this statement. As a professional of medical science, we have to adhere to the best evidence currently available. Of course, evidence-based medicine is not perfect. Nonetheless, it is usually more trustworthy than superstitious ideas or intuition derived from people without expertise.
I hope rational and calm discussion about everything. It has not been entirely proven that all of the vaccination is cost-effective. Critical thinking, repeated inspection, and amendment following concurrent situation are necessary to improve the quality of hygiene and health care. Both superstitions and indulgence to science should be avoided.

Melania Trump in for Repairs
An aide of President Donald Trump, (Potus - hippopotamus abbreviated), has mistakenly revealed that his wife, Melania is "in for repairs".
Melania Trump has not appeared in public for 24 days and it has now been announced she will not be accompanying her husband on two key foreign trips.
The unnamed Aide who was sacked 2 days earlier for his "incompetent gaffe" due to Donald Trumps (Potus-his family were Scottish Potters) newfound omnipotustent abilty to see into the future, allegedly stated via email to the IT department that " Melania is in for repairs, she's having a chip added to increase empathy and clothes sense and has a couple of mobility problems in the pistons in her arms affecting hand movement plus the usual "wear and tear down there."
The IT department replied that they would need to install updated software to ensure "Melania's functions continued smoothly."
The President had previously said that he was completely unaware of his wife's whereabouts and had assumed she was shopping with Kim Kardashian.
The Kardashian family have confirmed that Kim is also "in for repairs" following her recent meeting with President Trump.

STATE OF MICHIGAN
COURT OF APPEALS
CARLETON BUCK, UNPUBLISHED
July 16, 2015
Plaintiff-Appellant,
v No. 320967
Wayne Circuit Court
CITY OF HIGHLAND PARK, CURTIS WHITE, LC No. 12-010985-NO
and JANE DOE,
Defendants-Appellees.
Before: FORT HOOD, P.J., and SAAD and RIORDAN, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Plaintiff appeals as of right the order granting summary disposition in favor of
defendants. We affirm.
This case arises from a shooting that occurred during an armed robbery at the Gold
Nugget, a pawnshop in Highland Park, Michigan. Although the facts are highly disputed,
defendant police officer Curtis White, along with his partner police officer Heather Holcomb
(presumably defendant “Jane Doe”), both employees of defendant City of Highland Park
(Highland Park), responded to a robbery alarm at the Gold Nugget. Upon arriving, the officers
entered the pawn shop. Plaintiff entered the pawn shop directly after the officers. Shortly
thereafter, the armed burglars in the pawn shop fired at the officers. White and plaintiff were
shot and injured.
Plaintiff subsequently filed a complaint against defendants alleging constitutional
violations pursuant to 42 USC 1983. Defendants filed a motion for summary disposition, which
the trial court granted. Plaintiff thereafter filed a motion for reconsideration, which was denied.
Plaintiff appeals the order granting defendants’ motion for summary disposition and the order
denying plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration. We affirm.
I. MOTION FOR SUMMARY DISPOSITION
We first address plaintiff’s argument that the trial court erred in granting defendants’
motion for summary disposition. We disagree.
Defendants brought a motion for summary disposition pursuant to MCR 2.116(C)(7), (8),
and (10). In rendering its decision, the trial court granted the motion for summary disposition for
-1-
the reasons stated in defendants’ brief in support of the motion for summary disposition.
Because defendants moved for summary disposition on multiple grounds and the trial court ruled
on the motion without specifying the subrule under which it decided the issue but considered
material outside the pleadings, this Court will review the decision as based on MCR
2.116(C)(10). Cuddington v United Health Servs, Inc, 298 Mich App 264, 270; 826 NW2d 519
(2012).
This Court reviews de novo a trial court’s decision regarding a motion for summary
disposition. Pew v Mich State Univ, 307 Mich App 328, 331; 859 NW2d 246 (2014). A motion
for summary disposition under MCR 2.116(C)(10) challenges whether a plaintiff provided
sufficient factual support for the claims in his complaint. Stone v Auto-Owners Ins Co, 307 Mich
App 169, 173; 858 NW2d 765 (2014). This Court considers “the pleadings, admissions,
affidavits, and other relevant documentary evidence of record in the light most favorable to the
nonmoving party to determine whether any genuine issue of material fact exists to warrant a
trial.” Id. (citation and quotation marks omitted). “Mere conclusory allegations that are devoid
of detail are insufficient to demonstrate that there is a genuine issue of material fact for trial.”
Bennett v Detroit Police Chief, 274 Mich App 307, 317; 732 NW2d 164 (2006).
42 USC 1983 provides a federal remedy against any person who, under the color of state
law or custom having the force of law, deprives another of rights protected by the constitution or
laws of the United States. The statute does not provide the source of the rights, but only provides
the remedy for a violation of the United States constitution or a federal statute. Lavigne v
Forshee, 307 Mich App 530, 537; 861 NW2d 635 (2014). In order to prevail in an action under
42 USC 1983, a plaintiff must show “that (1) defendants acted under color of state law and (2)
that defendants’ conduct deprived [him] of a federal right.[]” Id. at 539.
Plaintiff alleged that defendants violated his due-process rights under the United States
and Michigan Constitutions. The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the
United States Constitution provides that a state shall not “deprive any person of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law.” US Const, Am XIV, § 1. The Due Process Clause of the
Michigan Constitution “provides protection coextensive with its federal constitutional
counterpart.” By Lo Oil Co v Dep’t of Treasury, 267 Mich App 19, 32; 703 NW2d 822 (2005).
“In the context of individual governmental actions or actors . . . to establish a substantive due
process violation, ‘the governmental conduct must be so arbitrary and capricious as to shock the
conscience.’ ” Cummins v Robinson Twp, 283 Mich App 677, 701; 770 NW2d 421 (2009)
(citation omitted). In general, the government’s failure to protect an individual against a third
party does not violate the individual’s due-process rights. DeShaney v Winnebago Co Dep’t of
Social Servs, 489 US 189, 197; 109 S Ct 998; 103 L Ed 2d 249 (1989). However, several
exceptions to the general rule exist, including the failure to train and the state-created danger
doctrine. Plaintiff asserts that defendants are liable pursuant to both doctrines.
A. STATE-CREATED DANGER DOCTRINE
“[A] state might still be liable for private acts of violence that result from the state’s
affirmative acts that greatly increase the risk of harm to its citizens.” Manuel v Gill, 270 Mich
App 355, 366-367; 716 NW2d 291 (2006), aff’d in part on other grounds, rev’d in part on other
-2-
grounds by 481 Mich 637 (2008). The state-created danger theory of liability provides that a
government entity is liable to a plaintiff if the plaintiff shows:
1) an affirmative act by the state which either created or increased the risk
that the plaintiff would be exposed to an act of violence by a third party; 2) a
special danger to the plaintiff wherein the state’s actions placed the plaintiff
specifically at risk, as distinguished from a risk that affects the public at large; and
3) the state knew or should have known that its actions specifically endangered
the plaintiff. [Id. at 367 (citations and quotation marks omitted).]
The trial court did not err when it granted defendants’ motion for summary disposition because
plaintiff failed to provide factual support for his claim that the affirmative actions of Officers
White or Holcomb created or increased that plaintiff would be exposed to an act of violence by a
third party.
Plaintiff alleged that the officers committed an affirmative act that increased the risk of
danger when they entered the Gold Nugget. Plaintiff claims that the officer’s presence caused
the robbers to start shooting. We reject plaintiff’s assertions for several reasons. Primarily, we
do not agree that the officers’ entry into the building constituted an affirmative act which
increased the risk to plaintiff. This argument completely ignores that the primary act that caused
plaintiff’s injury was the armed robber shooting plaintiff. Plaintiff’s argument attempts to
deflect blame from the robber to the officer in an illogical manner. Moreover, we do not agree
that the officers’ entry into the building, the alleged affirmative act, increased the risk to plaintiff.
Rather, the presence of the officers decreased the risk of harm to plaintiff since the officers were
in a position to protect him from the robbers. Finally, we reject plaintiff’s assertion that the
officers committed an affirmative act that increased the risk of danger when they drew their
handguns inside of the Gold Nugget. The undisputed evidence shows that the police officers did
not draw their handguns until after the robbers began shooting. Plaintiff also claims that the
officers should not have parked directly in front of the pawn shop. However, the evidence
showed that the police parked at least one space away and looked in the windows of the Gold
Nugget before going inside. Moreover, as plaintiff admits, the shooting did not occur until the
officers entered into the pawn shop, not because of where the officers parked their vehicle.
Plaintiff’s remaining arguments regarding the officers’ alleged affirmative acts relate to a
multitude of inactions by the officers that he claims created or increased the risk to him.
Primarily, plaintiff argues that the officers failed to establish a perimeter around the scene of the
incident or advise plaintiff and other patrons not to enter the pawn shop. According to plaintiff,
the officers knew that an armed robbery was occurring and should have done more to protect
plaintiff. We agree with plaintiff that these failures are troubling. However, the failure to act
does not constitute an “affirmative act” under the state-created danger doctrine. Jones v
Reynolds, 438 F3d 685, 691 (CA 6, 2006). Accordingly, we do not agree that the officers
committed an affirmative act that created or increased the risk of danger to plaintiff. Because
plaintiff cannot establish an affirmative act, his state-created danger theory of liability fails.
Accordingly, we conclude that it is unnecessary to address the remaining arguments relating to
this issue.
B. FAILURE TO TRAIN
-3-
Plaintiff also argues that his due process rights were violated by Highland Park’s failure
to train its police officers. We disagree. A municipality cannot be liable solely because an act of
its employee violated the plaintiff’s constitutional rights. See Payton v Detroit, 211 Mich App
375, 398; 536 NW2d 233 (1995). However, “[a] municipality can be held liable under § 1983
for its policies that violate the constitution or laws of the United States.” Id. The policy does not
need to be unconstitutional in and of itself. York v Detroit, 438 Mich 744, 755; 475 NW2d 346
(1991). Instead, a plaintiff must show that the constitutional violation was a result of action
taken under an official municipal policy. Payton, 211 Mich App at 398. “[The] first inquiry in
any case alleging municipal liability under § 1983 is the question whether there is a direct causal
link between a municipal policy or custom and the alleged constitutional deprivation.” Id.
(citations and quotation marks omitted; alteration in original). Although there is usually formal
approval for a municipal policy, “the plaintiff may assert and prove that the policy-making
officials of the municipality deliberately approved an unconstitutional custom or practice.” Id. at
399 (emphasis added). Mere negligence is insufficient to give rise to municipal liability under
the statute. Id. Instead, the plaintiff must prove that the municipality acted with deliberate
indifference. Id. The term “deliberate indifference” includes “ ‘knowledge, actual or
constructive, and a conscious disregard of a known danger’ by the policy-making official.” Id.
(citation omitted). A municipality may be liable for failing to train its police officers if it had a
policy of failing to train and the failure to train caused a violation of the plaintiff’s constitutional
rights. Id. at 400.
The trial court did not err when it granted defendants’ motion for summary disposition
regarding Highland Park’s failure to train because plaintiff failed to show that the constitutional
violation was a result of action taken under an official municipal policy. See id. at 398. First,
plaintiff failed to show that Highland Park had a formal or informal policy or custom of failing to
train its police officers. See id. at 398-399. While Highland Park did not have a police academy
or a training division, Officer White testified that he received formal training through the Detroit
Police Academy, as well as informal training from veteran officers at the Highland Park police
department and through his years on the job. He also received a copy of the Highland Park
Municipal Code and a copy of the Highland Park Police Department Regulations. More
specifically, Officer White stated that he was trained in crime scene investigation and in
establishing a perimeter around the scene of an assaultive crime. Officer White testified that the
correct procedure to protect bystanders at the scene of an assaultive crime was to inform the
bystanders to vacate the area. Based on the submitted evidence, we do not agree that plaintiff
established a question of fact that Highland Park maintained a policy or custom of not training its
officers. See id.
Further, plaintiff failed to provide factual support for his assertion that Highland Park
acted with deliberate indifference. See id. at 399-400. As defendants assert, there is no
indication that Highland Park knew that training was necessary or that the lack of training would
lead to a violation of plaintiff’s constitutional rights. Therefore, the trial court did not err in
granting defendants’ motion for summary disposition with regard to plaintiff’s allegation of
failure to train.
C. FINDINGS OF FACT
-4-
Plaintiff argues that the trial court had to make improper findings of fact in order to grant
summary disposition in favor of defendants. As discussed above, plaintiff failed to provide
sufficient factual support to survive a motion for summary disposition on his claims even when
all factual disputes are resolved in his favor. See Stone, 307 Mich App at 173. Therefore,
plaintiff’s argument fails.
II. DISCOVERY
Plaintiff also argues that the trial court erred when it granted defendants’ motion for
summary disposition before plaintiff ascertained certain discovery. Specifically, plaintiff asserts
that the trial court should have withheld its decision until after plaintiff received the Michigan
State Police investigation report, the audiotape recordings of the 911 telephone calls and dispatch
calls from the incident, and training materials from the Highland Park Police Department. We
disagree. We review a trial court’s decision regarding discovery for an abuse of discretion.
PCS4LESS, LLC v Stockton, 291 Mich App 672, 676; 806 NW2d 353 (2011). “An abuse of
discretion occurs when the trial court chooses an outcome falling outside a range of principled
outcomes.” Id. at 676-677.
A trial court prematurely grants summary disposition if a party has not had the
opportunity to conduct discovery. Huntington Nat’l Bank v Daniel J Aronoff Living Trust, 305
Mich App 496, 513; 853 NW2d 481 (2014). “However, the mere fact that the discovery period
remains open does not automatically mean that the trial court’s decision to grant summary
disposition was untimely or otherwise inappropriate. The question is whether further discovery
stands a fair chance of uncovering factual support for the opposing party’s position.” Marilyn
Froling Revocable Living Trust v Bloomfield Hills Country Club, 283 Mich App 264, 292; 769
NW2d 234 (2009).
First, we note that the court granted summary disposition after the close of discovery,
which had already been extended once. Although defendants filed the motion for summary
disposition before the close of discovery, the trial court did not err because it decided the motion
after the close of discovery, and plaintiff could have continued to conduct discovery during this
period. See id.
Furthermore, there was not a fair chance of uncovering factual support for plaintiff’s
position. First, the audiotape recordings of the 911 telephone call and the dispatch call from the
911 operator to the Highland Park Police Department were played on the record during the
hearing on defendants’ motion for summary disposition. Thus, the court was fully appraised of
its contents when rendering its decision. Second, defendants had previously explained that the
specific training materials that plaintiff requested did not exist, and the court ordered defendants
to give the materials to plaintiff if found. Third, the court addressed at the hearing on the motion
for summary disposition the issue of the Michigan State Police investigation report. The court
stated that defense counsel did not have the responsibility to provide the report to plaintiff, and
ruled that plaintiff should have requested the report from the Michigan State Police directly.
Further, we are not convinced that the investigation report would have supported to plaintiff’s
position, especially in light of our disposition regarding defendants’ motion for summary
disposition. Again, plaintiff cannot show that the officers’ engaged in an affirmative act that
increased the danger to plaintiff. While the report may show that the officers failed to act
-5-
appropriately, it would not change the fact that plaintiff cannot establish an affirmative act by the
officers. See Jones, 438 F3d at 691. Accordingly, we reject plaintiff’s claims.
III. MOTION TO AMEND COMPLAINT
Plaintiff next argues that the trial court erred when it refused to consider his motion to
amend his complaint. We disagree.
This Court reviews a trial court’s decision to deny a motion to amend the complaint for
an abuse of discretion. Diem v Sallie Mae Home Loans, Inc, 307 Mich App 204, 215-216; 859
NW2d 238 (2014). In general, a trial court should grant a motion to amend the complaint. Id.
MCR 2.118(A)(2) provides, “Except as provided in [MCR 2.118(A)(1)], a party may amend a
pleading only by leave of the court or by written consent of the adverse party. Leave shall be
freely given when justice so requires.” MCR 2.116(I)(5) provides that when a party brings a
motion for summary disposition under MCR 2.116(C)(8), (9), or (10), the trial court must allow
the parties to amend a pleading unless the amendment would not be justified. A trial court may
deny a motion to amend for the following reasons:
(1) undue delay, (2) bad faith or dilatory motive on the part of the movant, (3)
repeated failure to cure deficiencies by amendments previously allowed, (4)
undue prejudice to the opposing party by virtue of allowance of the amendment,
or (5) futility of the amendment. Absent bad faith or actual prejudice to the
opposing party, delay, alone, does not warrant denial of a motion to amend.
[Diem, 307 Mich App at 216 (citation and quotation marks omitted).]
The trial court denied plaintiff’s motion because amendment would be futile. Plaintiff
first asserts that he should have been permitted to amend his complaint because, in granting the
motion for summary disposition, the court noted that plaintiff had only pleaded conclusory
statements with regard to the alleged constitutional violation. We conclude that amendment
would be futile because, as discussed above, plaintiff failed to allege a constitutional violation in
his complaint sufficient to survive a motion for summary disposition pursuant to MCR
2.116(C)(10). Further, plaintiff failed to explain in the trial court or on appeal how he would
have amended the complaint to include addition factual support for his claims. In addition,
plaintiff attached an amended complaint to his motion for reconsideration, which included
citations to Highland Park ordinances and regulations, but did not allege any additional factual
support that was not considered by the trial court. Therefore, we agree with the trial court that
amendment of the complaint would have been futile. See Diem, 307 Mich App at 216.
Second, plaintiff argues that he would have alleged a claim of gross negligence had he
been given the opportunity to amend his complaint. MCL 691.1407(2) provides:
Except as otherwise provided in this section, and without regard to the
discretionary or ministerial nature of the conduct in question, each officer and
employee of a governmental agency . . . is immune from tort liability for an injury
to a person or damage to property caused by the officer, employee, or member
while in the course of employment . . . while acting on behalf of a governmental
agency if all of the following are met:
-6-
(a) The officer, employee, member, or volunteer is acting or reasonably
believes he or she is acting within the scope of his or her authority.
(b) The governmental agency is engaged in the exercise or discharge of a
governmental function.
(c) The officer’s, employee’s, member’s, or volunteer’s conduct does not
amount to gross negligence that is the proximate cause of the injury or damage.
Gross negligence is “conduct so reckless as to demonstrate a substantial lack of concern
for whether an injury results.” MCL 691.1407(8)(a). “Therefore, for a plaintiff to be successful
in a tort action against a governmental employee, the plaintiff must prove both that (1) the
governmental employee’s conduct demonstrated a substantial lack of concern for whether his
conduct would cause injury to the plaintiff, and (2) the alleged misconduct was the proximate
cause of the plaintiff’s injury.” Tarlea v Crabtree, 263 Mich App 80, 83; 687 NW2d 333 (2004).
In Robinson v Detroit, 462 Mich 439, 459; 613 NW2d 307 (2000), the Michigan
Supreme Court held that the phrase “the proximate cause” means “the one most immediate,
efficient, and direct cause preceding an injury.” Plaintiff fails to argue in his brief on appeal that
the police officers acted with a substantial lack of concern for whether an injury would result
from their actions. As discussed above, there was no indication from the record that the officers
were aware of the danger to plaintiff. Even assuming that the officers exhibited a substantial
lack of concern for whether an injury would result from their actions, the police officers’ conduct
was not the proximate cause of plaintiff’s injury. See Tarlea, 263 Mich App at 83. Instead, the
robbers who shot plaintiff were the most immediate, efficient, and direct cause preceding
plaintiff’s injury. See Robinson, 462 Mich at 459. Therefore, the trial court did not err because
an amendment of plaintiff’s complaint to add a gross negligence claim would have been futile.
See Diem, 307 Mich App at 216.
IV. QUALIFIED IMMUNITY
Plaintiff next argues that the trial court erred when it ruled that Officer White’s conduct
was protected by qualified immunity. We disagree.
This Court reviews de novo the issue whether a defendant is entitled to qualified
immunity. Morden v Grand Traverse Co, 275 Mich App 325, 340; 738 NW2d 278 (2007). This
Court also reviews de novo a motion for summary disposition. Pew, 307 Mich App at 331. “A
defendant is entitled to summary disposition under MCR 2.116(C)(7) if the plaintiff’s claims are
barred because of immunity granted by law.” Id. at 332-333. This Court considers plaintiff’s
complaint to be true, unless the documentary evidence contradicts it. Id. at 332. The movant
may support the motion with documents in the record if the documentation would be admissible
at trial. Id. “If reasonable minds could not differ on the legal effects of the facts, whether
governmental immunity bars a plaintiff’s claim is a question of law.” Id.
The issue of whether a police officer’s actions are protected by qualified immunity is
distinct from the merits of the underlying claim. See Morden, 275 Mich App at 342. “Qualified
immunity shields an officer from suit when [he] makes a decision that, even if constitutionally
deficient, reasonably misapprehends the law governing the circumstances [he] confronted.” Id.
-7-
(citation omitted). “A police officer may invoke the defense of qualified immunity to avoid the
burden of standing trial when faced with a claim that the officer violated a person’s
constitutional rights.” Lavigne, 307 Mich App at 542. The plaintiff has the burden to show that
a police officer is not protected by qualified immunity before trial. Id. Thus, if there was no
violation of a plaintiff’s constitutional rights, then the court does not need to make a further
inquiry into the issue of qualified immunity. Morden, 275 Mich App at 341.
The trial court did not err when it ruled that plaintiff’s claim against Officer White was
barred by qualified immunity. As discussed above, there was no constitutional injury in this
case. Therefore, there is no need to conduct a further inquiry into whether Officer White was
entitled to qualified immunity. See id.
V. MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION
Plaintiff also argues that the trial court abused its discretion when it denied his motion for
reconsideration. We disagree. “This Court reviews a trial court’s decision on a motion for
reconsideration for an abuse of discretion.” Huntington Nat’l Bank, 305 Mich App at 515.
Plaintiff’s primary argument is that the trial court judge who decided the motion for
reconsideration erroneously determined that she was not in a position to reconsider the ruling of
a predecessor trial judge on the motion for summary disposition. Based on our disposition
regarding the merits of plaintiff’s claim, it is unnecessary for us to address plaintiff’s argument,
and we conclude that the trial court properly denied plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration
because there was no palpable error necessitating correction. MCR 2.119(F)(3).
Affirmed. Defendants, the prevailing parties, may tax costs. MCR 7.219.

Rebels hold a Kingdom of Libya flag as they drive in a car in Brega March 2, 2011. REUTERS/Goran Tomasevic
I went to Libya in the early Seventies. Having obtained a Ph.D. from the University of London two years previously, I received a telegram from the University of Libya in Tripoli (now Al Fateh University) to come and teach there. After arriving in Libya, I was told that I was to teach industrial chemistry to the B.Sc. students. This was a surprise since my training was not in that area. However, I designed a course in a week or so which was available before the semester started and hoped to do the best. Soon thereafter, the October War (the Yaum Kippur War) started. Although Libya was not involved in the war, there was much excitement on the campus. Qadhafi was complaining in his speeches that he was not consulted — Obviously, Sadat, nor any other Arab leader had trusted him. However, I saw many battle tanks with Algerian markings moving along the main highway towards Egypt but before the Boumediene’s forces could reach the battle front, the war was over as Nixon had sent Apache helicopters with antitank weaponry directly to the war theatre from the American bases in Italy and Sharon had found a gap in the Egyptian positions to pour in troops at the rear of the Egyptian lines and had destroyed the missile batteries which were vital to the air defense. The Egyptian professors on the campus told me that defeat was staring Egypt in its face. So much for the war Euphoria! We did settle down to teaching chemistry after the war was over.
As a person teaching industrial chemistry, I had an opportunity to see some of the country’s industrial infrastructure first hand, as I took students on visits to industries as a part of the curriculum. I found that at least in those days the infrastructure was feeble and scanty and mostly manned by foreign workers. What was hindering progress was obviously a shortage of skilled manpower. Many decades have passed since but what is obvious is that even allowing for sanctions, the country is, as yet, far from becoming a Malaysia, a Singapore or even a Dubai or Qatar. The country’s cash reserves are enormous but the lack of opulence among the common people is strikingly clear. I must admit that I have soft corners for this planned egalitarianism but the hazards of one man’s whims have had their effect as we shall see later, which could put this idealism in disrepute.
I saw Qadhafi only once during my stay. It was when he came to supervise elections of one of the “ people’s committees†(lajnat-al-Shabia) in the university. The jamaheer (democracies) idea had a striking similarity with the soviets and the Chinese communes, which were hybridized with Qadhafi’s own brand of Islamism — Literature from the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China was banned in Libya and was made inaccessible to the people for comparison.
We knew about Mao Tsetung’s Cultural Revolution, his Red Guards and the Red Book. Amid this cultural turmoil in the world Qadhafi’s own Green Book took shape and a bizarre cult of personality ensued. More about this later:
When Qadhafi and his associates staged the coup against King Idris, he had attracted attention from much of the Muslim population of the world because of his youth, his charisma and the fact that his rhetoric included reference to Islam in the governance of the country, in marked contrast to the prevailing secular and socialist ideologies in most Arab countries, notably in Algeria, Egypt, Syria and Iraq. However, the mask soon came off when during my stay there the Muslim Brotherhood members were persecuted and crushed. Some of the University students at that time became victims of this persecution.
In the following years, Qadhafi became the supreme leader, the law giver, the jurist, the mujtahid, commander-in-chief of the armed forces and everything else one could possibly think of. He dismantled the traditional military structure and gave the task of defense to people’s committees, whose unprofessionalism soon became fatal as was evident when those responsible for manning missile batteries proved to be incompetent in even defending Qadhafi’s abode against an air raid ordered by President Reagan. He modified the Islamic calendar, which is in use in Libya and nowhere else. He effaced the influence of Ulama and Fuqaha as he envisaged himself to be the sole interpreter of the Sharia. He saw no need for the Qur’anic interpreters, as in his words “Qur’an was revealed in plain Arabic†and therefore Arabs did not need intermediaries between them and God. He considered no other source beside Qur’an to be valid. Next in importance was the Green Book (three volumes), written by him, without any partnership, which encompassed the constitutional framework of the government, the law, judicial exegeses, the penal code, philosophical anecdotes and everything else on earth. His own wisdom became sacrosanct, unrivalled even by Confucius. So as a result of his systematic destruction of all traditional institutions, at present there is no social, military and religious infrastructure in Libya to be relied upon in the aftermath of the overthrow of his regime.
All this would have been considered maverick and scholarly, if one could not notice in his eyes clear signs of a disturbed personality.
His behavior ranges from idiosyncratic to psychotic. He reminds me of the Fatimid khalifa Al-Hakim, who showed signs of psychosis and was run out from Cairo by the populace.
It is natural for us to be skeptical when the West demonizes a Muslim leader. He automatically gets the benefit of our doubt but in this case evidence against him is abundant. He forced Wahdah (unification), first on Egypt then on Tunisia. When the Arab countries did not show any interest, he turned towards Sub-Saharan Africa and wanted to lead her in a United States of Africa. That dream also did not materialize. He tried to purchase an atom bomb from China. Spurned by Zhou En-Lai, he turned towards Pakistan. When Pakistan too said no, he became very bitter. He ordered Egyptian navy during the period of unification, to sink the luxury ocean liner QE2, full of American tourists, in the Mediterranean. The naval commander would not do it without referring to Sadat. There were reports that he asked Nasser permission to shoot King Husain in an Arab summit conference in Cairo. It is also a known fact that he sent assassins to kill King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. The blowing up of the Pan Am flight over Lockerbie in Scotland is another example of bizarre behavior. Then all of a sudden he metamorphosed from Mr. Hyde to Dr. Jekyll and became from enemy number one to the best friend of the West, meeting with Condoleezza Rice and embracing Gordon Brown, Sarkozy and Berlusconi.
We need no further evidence to conclude that autocracy, whether benevolent or tyrannical, is something we must not tolerate in the Muslim world. It will certainly be inimical to human development. My experience of the Libyan people is that they are very sweet, friendly and full of promise. They deserve a better leadership. However, there is a real danger now that the upheaval in the Arab countries may once again provide entries to Trojan Horses — I am not talking about Islamists — and usher in another era of exploitation. The Revolutions must be on their guard against such hazards.

Q:
Thymeleaf, fragments and default parameters
I have created fragments.html file. It contains the following fragment:
<div th:fragment="my_fragment(content)">
<p th:text="${content}"></p>
</div>
I put the above fragment into my view file:
<div th:replace="fragments :: my_fragment('test')"></div>
Now, I want to pass two parameters to my_fragment, but I must ensure backward compatibility.
I tried to solve the problem as follows:
<div th:fragment="my_fragment(content, defaultParameter='default value')">
<p th:text="${content}"></p>
</div>
Unfortunelly, the above solution generated error:
org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request
processing failed; nested exception is
org.thymeleaf.exceptions.TemplateProcessingException: Cannot resolve
fragment. Signature "my_fragment (content,defaultParameter='default value')"
declares 2 parameters, but fragment selection specifies 1 parameters.
Fragment selection does not correctly match.
Any idea?
A:
Thymeleaf allows a signature of a fragment without explicit parameters like this:
<div th:fragment="my_fragment">
<p th:text="${content}"></p>
<p th:text="${defaultParameter}"></p>
</div>
To call this fragment and pass content and defaultParameter you may call the fragment as follows:
<!-- both parameters not specified -->
<div th:replace="fragments :: my_fragment"></div>
<!-- only content parameter specified -->
<div th:replace="fragments :: my_fragment(content='a')"></div>
<!-- both parameters specified -->
<div th:replace="fragments :: my_fragment(content='a', defaultParameter='b')"></div>
But the below will not work:
<div th:replace="fragments :: my_fragment('a', 'b')"></div>
And the message is self-explonatory:
Signature "my_fragment" declares no parameters, but fragment selection did specify parameters in a synthetic manner (without names), which is not correct due to the fact parameters cannot be assigned names unless signature specifies these names.
So in case you want to maintain backward compatibility, you should use named parameters while calling a fragment and do not specify parameters in a signature of a fragment.
A:
The best way to allow optional parameter for a fragment is to declare them with "th:with" and describe them with meaningful default values.
So, you define explicit your mandatory and your optional values in the declaration tag of your fragment.
Here is simple example, with 1 mandatory and 2 optional parameters:
<div th:fragment="printGreetings (name)" th:with="title=${title} ?: 'Mr.', greeting=${greeting} ?: 'Hello'">
<span th:text="${greeting}">Hello</span>
<span th:text="${title}">Mr.</span>
<span th:text="${name}">John Doe</span>
</div>
You can then call it like the following:
<div th:replace="fragments :: printGreetings (name='daniel')">
Hello Mr. Daniel
</div>
<div th:replace="fragments :: printGreetings (name='Lea', title='Ms.')>
Hello Ms. Lea
</div>
<div th:replace="fragments :: printGreetings (name='Lea', title='Ms.', greeting='Hi')>
Hi Ms. Lea
</div>
(Please note that all values inside the tags are replaced by the dynamic ones. It's just for better reading.)
A:
If you want to provide a default value (as in your case) you can use the elvis operator to specify a default value, for example:
<div th:fragment="my_fragment">
<p th:text="${content}"></p>
<p th:text="${defaultParameter ?: 'the backwards compat value'}"></p>
</div>

Overview
Speak to the Mountain: The Tommie Waites Story is a special book about a unique woman, Tommie Waites, who started from dire poverty in the Ark-La-Tex region of the country and overcame one powerful force after another until she emerged as a leading Christian evangelist. The book, written by Tommie's daughter Bessie, clearly documents in words and photos just what kind of life a poor black family could expect in the Deep South before, during, and after the Depression. Dr. Blake chronicles her mother's determination to overcome mountains of poverty, illness, spousal abuse and racism, as well as gender bias in the country as a whole and in the ministry. Reading about the struggles of Tommie Waites, one can't help but recognize that the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow has been horror and deprivation but that it has also been a strengthening of spirit and determination for those who fought and survived. Tommie Waites didn't just survive, however; she thrived. She struggled and she won. This is the story of one of America's many unsung and humble heroes, a story which will not only teach its reader about American history but also move a reader to tears and, ultimately, to passion and action.

As a child growing up I always thought that Aunt Tommie was a special woman. I always heard people speak very highly of her. I am the great-great niece of Tommie Waites my grandmother 'who died way before I was born' Tutu was Tommie's sister. It was very inspiring to learn more about my family, things that I never knew. I even learned things about my grandmother that my mother never shared. Also seeing pictures of family throughout the book was very helpful by allowing me to put the young faces with the names of people that I've heard of but didn't remember meeting, because I was too young. As an adult I am both humbled and inspired by the acccomplishments of my family. Aunt Tommie's constant faith in God is a trait that our family is proud to retain and pass on to future generations.

I am so sorry that I waited so long to read this book. I purchased it several months ago and let it sit on my shelf. From the moment I started to read I slipped into a trance engrossed in the story of the incredible woman full of faith, strength, and discipline. While you read her story you learn of the stories of others who suffered dealing with the social, racial, and financial pressures of the times. This is an incredible read, and I am compelled to purchase this book for a friend to inspire them as well.

In ¿Speak to the Mountain: The Tommie Waites Story¿ Dr. Bessie W. Blake does a masterful job in painting a beautiful portrait of her mother, a woman who experienced the blues and of racism, sexism, poverty, illness, loss and personal tragedy, but through it all learned to sing the gospel of faith. Through her own life she proved that faith in and of itself is a blessing and that blessings are a by product of faith. Her mother¿s voice is humble, resilient, humorous, uplifting and comforting as it resounds through the pages and is heard by the heart. This book should be read by all who want an understanding of the history of Black America, particularly in the southern region of the United States, the history of the Black church and it¿s treatment of women (at it¿s best and worst), and the strength of the Black family in all it¿s myriad configurations. Most importantly it is a living testament to one woman¿s strength, love, kindness, and steadfast belief in God. This wonderful homage to Tommie Waites will encourage readers to conquer all of life¿s mountains.

This was the first book I was actually able to finish in a short time, because I couldn't put it down. The Tommie Waites Story tells the story about all of our African American foremothers and forefathers here in America and what life was really like for them during Jim Crow. This is a book that should be mandatory reading for our high school youth to help them learn, understand and realize their African roots and past history as current day African Americans. The story has heart warming accounts of the lives of all the characters over several generations and decades. This is a book about family, spirit, strength, faith and courage. Easy reading, a joy and a pleasure to feel from the heart.

BTCC: Plato: We've got to improve
Two-time BTCC champion Jason Plato scored his first podium of the year at Croft, but insists BMR Subaru have much to improve for the second half of 2018.
Two-time British Touring Car champion Jason Plato has insisted Team BMR have more work to with the engine installation and cooling with their Subaru Levorg, despite a return to form at Croft.
The 97-time BTCC race winner enjoyed by far his strongest weekend of the year so far at Croft after scoring his first points of the season with second in race one, while his Subaru team mate Ash Sutton took an emphatic double victory.
In what Plato labelled ‘a super day’ for his team mate Sutton, the Subaru driver felt he could have achieved the same, had it not been for his jump-start from the front row during the second race.
Plato admitted his start-line error was ‘probably psychological’ after ‘smelling a victory’ for the first time this season.
“I’m pleased. Ash [Sutton] had a super day. I would have had a super day had I not f****d the start up in race two,” said Plato.
“It was totally my mistake. I was just a bit eager, which is probably psychological because I’ve had such a shit time. I could smell a victory. I was a bit fired up! I just got the timing slightly wrong.
“I would’ve had a win or a second in race two. So that wouldn’t have been a bad weekend.”
Despite Subaru enjoying a resurgence in form, Plato says his team were having to run their Swindon developed powertrain to near and beyond its limit.
Along with maximising the Levorg’s strengths around the RWD friendly Croft layout, Subaru received a small increase in boost at the fifth round, but Plato explained his squad must focus on other areas to maintain their momentum.
“Race three just compounds the frustration that we are s**t in a straight-line. You don’t have to be a bloke with x-ray eyes to figure that out. We’re not just a little bit off, it’s dire.
“So we can’t race. When we’re in the pack we go backwards. I can’t even overtake cars which are having dire tyre problems. I was watching the BMW behind me and it was ahead of me before the start-line.
“We have to work so hard because we’re giving away performance because we’re running too hot. We have some serious issues here with the engine installation and the cooling package, which we’ve got to improve. We’ve got to do a better job.
“Even if we do a better we’re still going to be down on power. It’s not just the engine. It’s everything. If we can get our side totally working 100%, we still won’t have enough power.”

). The exhibition in the CCA ESPAI shows the most representative artworks f
rom the series of his current work.
\n
The artworks present a big vari
ety of techniques and forms through which Marcos Vidal creates a personal a
rt language which seldom provokes the observer to find an interior controve
rsy and which requests to question the society&rsquo\;s pillars: consumptio
n\, politics\, civil obedience\, etc.
\n
The exhibition will show the
series Cuadernos de Guerra (&ldquo\;War Notebooks&rdquo\;) and Minimalismo

Did you know that November is Diabetes Awareness Month? And did you know that today, Monday, November 14th, is World Diabetes Day? If you don’t have diabetes, you may be thinking “who cares?”. Well, you should care, and here’s why: 25.8 million people in the US have diabetes. That’s 8.3% of the population. Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the United States, and is a major causal factor for heart disease and strokes. And here’s the kicker: another 79 MILLION PEOPLE have pre-diabetes, and if they don’t take control of it now, it will almost inevitably lead to full-blown diabetes. Not to get all fearmongering on you, but you may be one of those people. I was, and I didn’t even know it. And if I hadn’t gotten accidentally pregnant with my third child and been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, I might not have found out until it was too late.
Now, you may be thinking to yourself “yes, well, I live a healthy lifestyle, I am fit and eat well, and I have no family history of diabetes, so I am really not at risk”. Guess what? Me too! Based on my lifestyle, slender physique and family history, I had NO RISK FACTORS. None. Nada. Nyet. Nein. My body type and health status set off so few alarm bells in my doctors that I’d only ever had my blood glucose tested during pregnancy, as is standard in most areas. And it was a surprise to everyone when gestational diabetes turned up with my third pregnancy. An even bigger shock came a few months after my daughter was born, when I noticed a disturbing upward trend in my glucose levels. Everyone expected the gestational diabetes to disappear, especially as I made a serious commitment to healthy eating and exercise. But to my dismay, both my fasting glucose and my post-prandial (post-meal) numbers remained stubbornly in the pre-diabetes range. What??? But I was being so good, avoiding sugar and eating lots of fruits, veggies and whole grains! It wasn’t until I dropped my carb levels drastically that I gained any measure of control over my glucose levels.
Far be it from me to preach to other people about how they eat and the amount of exercise they get, because goodness knows I don’t always stay on track. But Type 2 diabetes is on the rise in our society and it behooves us all to pay attention. I consider myself lucky. I caught my disease in the early stages and because of this, I was given the opportunity to control it through diet and exercise and stave off medication as long as possible. So far, it’s working, but diabetes is a progressive disease and I know there may come a day when I need to rely on modern medicine. Technically, I am pre-diabetic, but I suspect this is simply because I am so vigilant about what I eat. Were I to go back to what is considered “normal” healthy eating (fruits, veggies, whole grains), I think by now I’d definitely be a full-blown diabetic.
Strange as it may sound, there are good things that have come out of my diabetes, and this blog is one of them. I started it prior to diagnosis as a lark. I am fairly certain that I would never have stuck with it if it hadn’t become an outlet for me to experiment with low carb cooking and baking. And the blog in turn has led to some wonderful opportunities and connections. One of those connections is to a wonderful online diabetes magazine called A Sweet Life. Started by husband and wife team Jessica Apple and Michael Aviad after they were both diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in adulthood, A Sweet Life posts informative, thought-provoking articles, personal accounts, and healthful recipes. They approached me last February, asking if they could post my Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Truffles on their site. They also asked if I wanted to do a feature article on how diabetes has changed my approach to cooking, baking and eating (Rebirth of a Baker). In time I became a contributor, posting some of my best, healthiest recipes to their site. I also have come to consider Jessica a friend, as we have shared our experiences with diabetes, parenthood and life in general in much of our correspondence.
A connection such as this is invaluable to me in helping me navigate my own way around this disease. And I am so honored that for World Diabetes Day, they are featuring another of my recipes as well as doing a little write-up about my own experiences with diabetes. This is such an easy dish, I almost hesitate to actually call it a recipe. I came up with it over the summer when the tomatoes and cilantro from our garden were so plentiful, I was making jar after jar of Pico De Gallo. I was stumped one evening for dinner when my eye fell upon a jar of this beloved salsa in the fridge. I quickly defrosted some tilapia fillets, sprinkled them with chipotle powder, and cooked them in some butter. I sprinkled them with shredded cheddar when they were hot, to let it melt, and then topped them with the fresh Pico De Gallo.
And the results were so good, I was blown away. The flavours all worked so perfectly together, the fresh cold salsa complementing the warm, spicy fish. It quickly became something I made over and over during the summer and well into the fall, when the tomatoes were still ripening. My husband likes to put his into a tortilla, like fish tacos, but I like to eat mine just with a salad. I really can’t say enough about how good this recipe is.
So please, head on over to A Sweet Life to check it out. You won’t regret it.

I'm so glad I read this. Your the first diabetic I've met that had to do a carb free lifestyle and I didn't know why. I know that carbs turn into sugar in us, but didn't realize that it would impact so greatly. Wow. My mom was just diagnosed with diabetes (she's 75) and it's what her mom died of so yes, it's a big deal to me.
As per usual, this is a gorgeous dish and I would make it even though I'm not diabetic, pre or otherwise. It definitely blends together flavors I love. It also makes me miss my garden though. 🙂
What a resourceful article Carolyn – I did not know that diabetes was progressive, and congrats on having your recipe featured for World Diabetes Day on A Sweet Life. You are doing great things raising awareness for this disease.
Carolyn, I wanted to say how much I appreciate your personal story. I am going through almost the same situation, exactly as you describe, except that my gestational diabetes was diagnosed during my 1st pregnancy. and decided to stick around. I am also technically pre-diabetic, but I suspect too that it is only because I switched over to low carb immediately, and if I had not, I would be officially diabetic by now. And this despite being in great shape (and even slightly underweight).
It's so comforting to know I am not alone. I struggled to accept this and felt very depressed about it at the beginning. Some days I do wish I did not have to prepare absolutely everything I eat from scratch, and it is frustrating, time consuming and extremely isolating. But hearing you say that you are lucky to have caught it early puts things in perspective for me. I'm not looking forward to the medication I will surely need sooner or later, but at least I have a chance to control things for now. Thank you so much for sharing.
Anna, thank you so much for this. It is comments like this that keep me going. It is extremely frustrating and disheartening to live a healthy life and end up with diabetes, but it is so helpful to know that we are not alone. You're right, the food issue can be hard and isolating sometimes, but you do learn tricks along the way, like big batches of low carb muffins in the freezer, so that you have something on hand in a pinch. I find when I don't have something prepared, that's when I am most likely to reach for a higher carb treat!
Thanks for sharing, I truly appreciate it!
Great information on Diabetes! I will admit I am in the dark, but I need to learn more. This pico de gallo sounds amazing! I am not a huge fan of fish, but I am sure it would be an equally delicious topping for chicken!
(((HUGS))) Carolyn! I know you will help many people as you go through life and I bet you will keep a tight reign on the diabetes, almost as if you don't have it! This dish might be easy – but it looks delightful!
Somehow at this time of year anything fresh calls to me from the din of The Land of Sweets. This recipe on it's own sounds perfect. The chipotle attracted my attention but the rest of the ingredients sound perfect. Thank you for all the compelling statistics on Diabetes. My husband's father had it so I had first hand experience with the implications. Bravo to you for getting the word out through your food offereings and being such a role model of how to live with it.
Hi Carolyn, What a great post. Diabetes runs in my family and it's something I have been aware of but not enough. Thanks for sharing your story and inspiring the rest of us to take better hold of our health. Going to head over for that gorgeous Tilapia recipe.
What an inspiring post, Carolyn! Thanks for sharing your story and experiences. I'm so glad that you are raising awareness about diabetes and low-carb diets. My mother (who has diabetes) has become and avid follower of your blog too. Although she's just a lurker :P.
Thank you for sharing this, Carolyn… your story is truly inspiring. I wish I could say I know a lot about diabetes considering how many people are affected by it, but I see now that I don't know nearly as much as I should. My grandfather is pre-diabetic and I never really understood completely. I'm off to do some research and educate myself a bit better.
I definitely need to read your blog more often. Everything you wrote hits home – I am less healthy than it sounds like you were and my family's definitely addicted to our carbs. It's really been on my mind lately and I keep putting off making the changes I know I should. Thanks for the kick in the butt. 😉 Recipe looks amazing, btw!
What a fabulous dish…just gorgeous! And, Carolyn, I continue to be in awe of you, your story and your dedication to eating what 's right for your body. Your blog and work in diabetes awareness will bring much needed knowledge to so many. I truly admire what you do!!! xo
I find it so interesting and inspirational to read about your experience with diabetes, Carolyn. Although my gestational diabetes disappeared after giving birth to my first child, I know it still lingers there somewhere if I'm not careful with my diet and exercise. Thanks for reminding us again about this silent killer of a disease, you've done us a great service with your blog!

Acculturative stress among young immigrants in Norway.
The study examined the relationship between migration and the incidence of emotional disorders among 568 young Third World immigrants in Norway. Participants were 10-17 years of age. Using a questionnaire, acculturative stress (i.e., change in health status as a result of acculturation) was found to exist among the children, although having to migrate or being born in Norway was not related to mental health status. A stressful acculturative experience (i.e., difficulties in initiating friendship with Norwegian peers) alone could account for only 1% of the self reported emotional disorders. Incidence of depressive tendencies, poor self image, and psychological and somatic symptoms were found to be related to close and supportive parents, marginality, integration, gender and the number of friends the child had. These accounted for between 12 and 15% of the explained variance. The paper theoretically discusses how these factors may be related to acculturative stress, and recommends them as starting points for a primary intervention program to reduce emotional disorders among these children.

506 A.2d 209 (1986)
STATE of Maine
v.
Harry CROCKER.
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine.
Argued January 16, 1986.
Decided February 25, 1986.
Michael E. Povich, Dist. Atty., Carletta M. Bassano (orally), Asst. Dist. Atty., Machias, for State.
Silsby & Silsby, Sandra Hylander Collier (orally), Ellsworth, for defendant.
Before McKUSICK, C.J., and NICHOLS, ROBERTS, WATHEN, GLASSMAN and SCOLNIK, JJ.
WATHEN, Justice.
Defendant Harry Crocker appeals from three convictions resulting from a jury trial in Superior Court (Washington County). Defendant was convicted of two counts of criminal threatening with the use of a dangerous weapon, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 209 (1983), and one count of reckless conduct with the use of a dangerous weapon, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 211 (1983).[1] Defendant's principal claim on appeal arises from the Superior Court's refusal to instruct the jury on the competing harms defense and the justifiable use of deadly force in defense of persons. We find no error and affirm the convictions.
I.
The relevant facts of this case may be summarized as follows: On June 28, 1983, defendant engaged in a confrontation with Burleigh Sprague in Bucks Harbor. One of the two counts of criminal threatening and the single count of reckless conduct relate to this incident. During the course *210 of the evening defendant also confronted Owen Moody, thus providing the basis for the second count of criminal threatening. Burleigh Sprague testified that at approximately 6:00 p.m. he received a phone call from his wife stating that the defendant was at the Sprague residence threatening "to get" Sprague. Sprague returned home accompanied by Dennis Moody, Phil Moody, and Norman Johnson and found that defendant had left. Sprague and the others, with the addition of Mark Sprague, set out to find him. Sprague stated that he "just wanted to talk with" Crocker.
The group encountered defendant Crocker in his automobile travelling through Bucks Harbor and followed him to his mother's house where Crocker was living at the time. Sprague testified that upon arriving in his mother's driveway, Crocker, accompanied by Emery Miller, jumped out of his vehicle with a .22 caliber revolver in his hand. Sprague proceeded past the Crocker residence and turned around at a cemetery at the end of the road.[2] After turning around, Sprague entered a nearby home and called the police. He then returned to his vehicle intending to attempt to drive by the Crocker home and return to the main road. As he drove toward the Crocker home, however, he saw the defendant in the yard still holding the gun and stopped the car about one hundred yards from Crocker.
Emery Miller approached the Sprague vehicle making threats and calling on Sprague to fight. Sprague got out of the vehicle to talk to Miller. During this discussion, Sprague also saw and heard the defendant hollering threats and shaking his fists. Sprague then heard a shot and saw the gun, pointed in the air, recoil. After the first shot, Sprague called Miller a "boy" and the latter became very angry. As Miller approached Sprague, Sprague removed a baseball bat from his car and placed it on his shoulder. While continuing to converse with Miller, Sprague saw Crocker aim the gun at him. He ducked behind his car and immediately heard another gunshot. Thereafter, a neighbor intervened and attempted to calm things down. Sprague returned to the neighbor's house to await the arrival of police.
Shortly after Sprague had first driven by the Crocker home, Owen Moody and Daniel Johnson arrived at the scene in a different automobile driven by Moody. As they drove by the Crocker home, the defendant ran toward the car pointing his pistol into the window of the car. Moody drove past the defendant's home and encountered Sprague about to call the police. He then turned his vehicle around and returned to the main road. After Moody's vehicle had returned to the main road, someone at the Crocker home moved a car from the driveway into the road so as to block passage from the cemetery end of the road, where Sprague and company remained, to the main road.
The defense witnesses relate a different version of events. Julie Sprague, cousin of Burleigh Sprague and girlfriend of defendant's brother, testified that Burleigh Sprague's car, with Dennis Moody driving, drove by the Crocker home several times at a fast rate of speed. This reckless driving endangered a small boy playing in the area, so defendant's brother blocked the road with a car to prevent further passage by the house.
As to the confrontation between Burleigh Sprague and Emery Miller, a prosecution witness testified that Sprague carried the bat when he first got out of his car to talk to Miller but that he held the bat low and did not threaten Miller with it. Julie Sprague testified for the defense that Burleigh Sprague was swinging the bat but never swung it at Miller. Hubine Sprague and the defendant's brother also testified that Burleigh Sprague was swinging the bat, but they provided no further detail. *211 The jury returned a verdict of guilty on all three counts and defendant now appeals from the resulting convictions.
II.
The presiding justice instructed the jury on the justifiable use of nondeadly force in defense of self or a third person, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 108(1) (1983) and in defense of premises, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 104(1) (1983). Defendant's request for a similar instruction with regard to the use of deadly force, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 108(2) (1983), was refused. In addition the court refused to instruct on the doctrine of competing harms. 17-A M.R.S.A. § 103(1) (1983).
The court committed no error in refusing to instruct on the use of deadly force because the issue was not generated by the evidence. To warrant an instruction, evidence must be sufficient to "make the existence of all facts constituting the defense a reasonable hypothesis for the factfinder to entertain." State v. Glidden, 487 A.2d 642, 644 (Me.1985). The statute dealing with deadly force provides in relevant part:
2. A person is justified in using deadly force upon another person:
A. When he reasonably believes it necessary and he reasonably believes such other person is:
(1) About to use unlawful, deadly force against himself or a 3rd person.
17-A M.R.S.A. § 108(2) (1983). Defendant did not testify, and thus, there is no direct evidence as to any belief that he might have entertained when he confronted either of the victims. Beyond that, the circumstances would not support the conclusion that defendant reasonably believed in the necessity of using deadly force, without retreating, in order to protect himself. When defendant fired the gun, Sprague was standing at a distance of 100 yards. Similarly, defendant could not have reasonably believed that deadly force was about to be used against Emery Miller, nor could he have reasonably believed that deadly force, as opposed to physical intervention, was necessary. The court properly refused the requested instruction.
Defendant backed up his request for a deadly force instruction by requesting an instruction on competing harms. Our criminal code provides in relevant part:
1. Conduct which the actor believes to be necessary to avoid imminent physical harm to himself or another is justifiable if the desirability and urgency of avoiding such harm outweigh, according to ordinary standards of reasonableness, the harm sought to be prevented by the statute defining the crime charged.
17-A M.R.S.A. § 103(1) (1983). The presiding justice denied the request, concluding that instructions on section 104(1) and section 108(1) "cover the factual situations generated in this case." Essentially defendant argues that the risk of harm involved in his conduct was outweighed by the risk of harm presented by the conduct of Sprague. We need not weigh the opposing harms in the balance[3] because the existence of the specific defenses in sections 104 and 108 precludes resort to the more general provision dealing with competing harms.
The competing harms defense was not intended as an overlay of self defense, but rather was designed to codify the principle inherent in the common law defense of necessity. See State v. Dorsey, 118 N.H. 844, 845, 395 A.2d 855, 856 (1978). The comments to section 103 state: "The problems covered by this section do not seem to be the subject of statutory or case law." An examination of the Model Penal Code, progenitor of section 103, makes *212 clear that the competing harms defense applies only in the absence of explicit legislative provision. The Code expresses the following limitation that is implicit in section 103:
(1) Conduct which the actor believes to be necessary to avoid an evil to himself or another is justifiable, provided that:
.....
(b) neither the Code nor other law defining the offense provides exceptions or defenses dealing with the specific situation involved:
Model Penal Code § 3.02 (Tent.Draft No. 8, 1958). The comments to the Code state that in order for the defense to be considered, "[t]he issue of competing values must not have been foreclosed by a deliberate legislative choice, as when the law has dealt explicitly with the specific situation that presents the choice of evils." Id. Sections 104 and 108 of the Maine Criminal Code deal specifically and comprehensively with the use of force in defense of self, third persons and premises. A defendant who is unable to present an effective defense under these specific provisions is precluded from justifying his use of force under the general provision for competing harms. No error was committed in the present case.
The remaining issues raised on appeal are lacking in merit and require no discussion.
The entry is:
Judgments of conviction affirmed.
All concurring.
NOTES
[1] Both offenses are Class D crimes, which, when committed with the use of a dangerous weapon, are enhanced to Class C offenses. See 17-A M.R.S.A. § 1252(4) (1983).
[2] Sprague testified that the road was impassable beyond the cemetery, except to trucks and four wheel drive vehicles. Witnesses for the defense testified that the road was passable and provided a means of egress.
[3] The Model Penal Code, on which section 103 is based, explicitly contains the following limitation: "The necessity must be avoidance of an evil greater than the evil sought to be avoided by the law defining the offense charged." Comment, Model Penal Code § 3.02 (Tent.Draft No. 8, 1958). In the words of section 103, it is not readily apparent that the evil presented by Sprague outweighed the evil sought to be prevented by the statutes prohibiting criminal threatening and reckless conduct with the use of a dangerous weapon.

Missing economic opportunities
IN DECEMBER 1999, when the United States pulled out its last troops and handed control of the Panama Canal to Panama's government, alarmists foresaw disasters ranging from shipping chaos to an invasion by Colombian guerrillas. Optimists predicted a new era of growth for a small but strategically placed country, blessed with good infrastructure and lots of investment possibilities. The alarms have proved false, but so have the hopes.
Plans to develop the formerly American-owned canal zone have stalled. Shippers grumble that more than three years after the Panama Maritime Authority was created to define a strategy for their industry, there is still no strategy. Discontent is growing as the economy slows. Riots over bus fares have been followed by disturbances this week in Colon, the second city, where crime and poverty are rife.
Much of the frustration is directed at President Mireya Moscoso, who took office two years ago promising increased social spending and a more cautious approach to economic liberalisation. Her government has suspended planned privatisations and raised some agricultural import tariffs. It has also faced unexpected difficulties. Government revenues from the canal were up by 46% in 2000 compared with the previous year, after a change in its status from that of a non-profit American federal agency to a privatised business. But revenue from other taxes has fallen sharply. The government is heading for a fiscal deficit of up to 1.5% of GDP this year, after balancing its budget in 2000.
The economic slowdown is not Mrs Moscoso's fault. The departure of hundreds of big-spending American canal staff, the world economy, high oil prices and low banana and coffee prices have all taken their toll. But critics such as Guillermo Chapman, a former economy minister, argue that Mrs Moscoso “has taken a long time to recognise that this slowdown is happening and hasn't come up with an effective programme to face it.”
Coming on top of a nagging series of corruption scandals, this has undermined Mrs Moscoso's popularity and political fortunes. Last year two parties from her coalition defected to the opposition. They are now refusing to pass a much-needed tax reform until the government sets out its economic plans, cuts spending and cracks down on tax evasion and corruption.
Nor did Mrs Moscoso help herself by appointing many young and inexperienced new officials. The Interoceanic Region Authority, which is responsible for canal-zone development, had several projects ready to start, including the redevelopment of Howard air-force base. But after Nicolas Ardito-Barletta, the authority's director, resigned over a dispute with the president, his plans were put on ice. So Panama has not taken advantage of some unusual opportunities.
The government says it will spend more on promoting tourism. It will soon abolish a $1 tax on international telephone calls. That might attract call centres to the country, since it has good fibre-optic connections. And when the Financial Action Task Force, a rich-country watchdog, placed Panama on its money-laundering blacklist last year, the government passed new laws that tighten financial controls and got the country removed from the list this year. Panama's banking authorities are now advising counterparts in Costa Rica, Guatemala and Russia. The government can move fast when it wants to. A pity it doesn't want to more often.

Turning off NADPH oxidase-2 by impeding p67phox activation in infected mouse macrophages reduced viral entry and inflammation.
Targeting cells of the host immune system is a promising approach to fight against Influenza A virus (IAV) infection. Macrophage cells use the NADPH oxidase-2 (NOX2) enzymatic complex as a first line of defense against pathogens by generating superoxide ions O2- and releasing H2O2. Herein, we investigated whether targeting membrane -embedded NOX2 decreased IAV entry via raft domains and reduced inflammation in infected macrophages. Confocal microscopy and western blots monitored levels of the viral nucleoprotein NP and p67phox, NOX2 activator subunit, Elisa assays quantified TNF-α levels in LPS or IAV-activated mouse or porcine alveolar macrophages pretreated with a fluorescent NOX inhibitor, called nanoshutter NS1. IAV infection in macrophages promoted p67phox translocation to the membrane, rafts clustering and activation of the NOX2 complex at early times. Disrupting rafts reduced intracellular viral NP. NS1 markedly reduced raft clustering and viral entry by binding to the C-terminal of NOX2 also characterized in vitro. NS1 decrease of TNF-α release depended on the cell type. NOX2 participated in IAV entry and raft-mediated endocytosis. NOX2 inhibition by NS1 reduced viral entry. NS1 competition with p67phox for NOX2 binding shown by in silico models and cell-free assays was in agreement with NS1 inhibiting p67phox translocation to membrane-embedded NOX2 in mouse and porcine macrophages. We introduce NS1 as a compound targeting NOX2, a critical enzyme controlling viral levels and inflammation in macrophages and discuss the therapeutic relevance of targeting the C-terminal of NADPH oxidases by probes like NS1 in viral infections.

"There's no reason to manipulate your baby boy's body like that," Meghan King Edmonds said Monday on the debut episode of her Intimate Knowledge podcast
Meghan King Edmonds Says Sons' Circumcision Was 'Hard' for Her, Wonders If It Makes Men 'Aggressive'
If Meghan King Edmonds could go back to the day of her sons’ birth last summer, it’s possible she would’ve made a different decision as far as their anatomy is concerned.
Get push notifications with news, features and more.
“I have two sons and I did it. My partner was a professional baseball player. He was like, ‘Well in the locker room, I don’t want him to get him made fun of.’ I was like, ‘Okay, well, you’re the dad. You do have 50 percent choice in this,’ ” said King Edmonds, 35.
But the reality star and mother of three also admitted it was “really hard for” her to have that be the decision, adding that she “was really upset by it.”
“I’m like, ‘We live in — 2018, at the time. We know how to clean ourselves, we have showers and hygiene. Why would I do this to my child? He’s a little baby,’ ” she said.

“Also, there’s no kind of numbing except topically,” King Edmonds noted. “What type of long-term [psychological] effects does this possibly have on our kids growing up through the years? And then — I’m gonna get real deep, but is this why maybe men are more aggressive? I don’t know.”
Ahead of her sharing her story, Burke and King Edmonds’ co-host Lila Darville, a sex and intimacy coach, said she read that the rate of circumcision was going down in Canada.
“It’s actually going down in America, too,” offered Burke, 48.
“It should be,” said King Edmonds. “There’s no reason to manipulate your baby boy’s body like that. I don’t like it. It makes me sad.”

King Edmonds recently responded to comments about her body, saying she’s working on regaining weight but asking for “grace” as she gets her life back together after the events of the last several months.
“For the record, I am naturally thin and I’ve always had a healthy relationship with food. But right now, I am too skinny,” she wrote in a blog post. “I don’t like it. I won’t weigh myself because I’m scared to see what the scale says. When my clothes don’t fit I pretend like they do anyway. But I’m not hungry. I know I should eat but I’m surviving on adrenaline but decaying on stress.”

"John Adams Part I:" "Join Or Die." "Lobsters for sale!" "Lobsters!" "Who'll buy?" "Lobsters!" "Clean out my shit bucket, lobster!" "Who'll buy lobsters?" "Go back to England!" "Take that!" "Hit 'em right in the head!" "We are people, not an animal, lobster!" "That a girl." "Come on, you old fool." "Get over here." "Come here." "There we go." "Look at that." "Quite a big one." "That must have hurt." "You lost." "I did." "I could tell by the set of your shoulders." "My client alleged that his neighbor's horse" "had trampled his crops." "And had it?" "Hard to say." "There were no witnesses and the beast refused to testify for some reason." "Follow me!" "Father." "Allow the child to breathe, John." "There, can you breathe now?" "Did you go to the farm?" "Mr. Bass is sending a cord of wood." "And there's a fence down in the south field..." "It's a fire!" "Don't fire." "Do not fire, lads!" "Help me!" "Look at me." "Yes?" " Can you breathe?" " My son." "Is this your boy?" "Murderers!" "Come away." " Come away, Sam!" " Shoot me too, Preston," " if you dare!" " Sam, come away!" "You'll suffer the full penalty of the law!" "These people need to be tended to." "These people need our help here, yes?" "What happened, father?" " We looked, but we couldn't see..." " It's all over now." "Just a little hubbub is all." "Nothing to worry about." "Return to bed." "Bed!" "Both of ya!" "British soldiers fired into a crowd on state house square." "God help us." "I thought it might come to this." "People were killed?" "I cannot say what number..." "One of them no more than a child, from what I could see." "I have no words for it, Abigail." ""omnia gallia in tres partes divisa est."" ""all Gaul is divided unto three parts."" "Good." "Who do you think would divide Gaul?" " John!" " Beggin'your pardon." "Yes?" " Mr. Adams, my name is forrest." " What happened to you?" "It's nothing, sir." "I'm known to be a friend of the soldiers here." "What is your business, sir?" "I'm here to ask you to help a man." "Captain Preston." "No one else will plead his case." "Come in." "I will get a basin" " to dress those cuts." " That's very kind." "Thank you." "Here." "Sit." "Sit." "Can it harm to go and see this soldier?" "How?" "Because you will find a way to believe him." " He may be telling the truth." " All your clients tell the truth." "but your prospective client is the most despised man in Boston." "By the time the news of last night's events spread," "I'm sure he will be the most despised man in all of Massachusetts." "It will be much talked of." "Ambition." "Counsel is the last thing an accused person should lack in a free country, Abigail." " Then accept it." " But will I be condemned for it?" "They will say you are the crown's man." "I care not for malicious tongues on either side." "These are the murderers." "May God forgive them." "And you too, sir." "Captain Preston, you wish to engage my services in your defense?" "They've all refused us, sir, every man jack of them." "They say you're a man of integrity, Mr. Adams." "Well, you may expect from me no art of address, no sophistry or prevarication in such a cause." "Nothing more than fact, evidence and the law will justify," "Captain Preston." "But before I can even consider taking your case," "I must hear your account of what happened." "My men came to the aid of a sentry outside the customhouse." "He was being abused by the crowd." "They asked me to empty their shit buckets." "I told 'em to back off, but they kept at it..." "Screaming at me, throwing things." "Mr. Montgomery called for the guard." "I led them to the square, we made formation facing the crowd, bayonets fixed, muskets loaded." "Look, I gave no order to fire, sir." "I swear." "I was standing in front of the men." "I was talking to a big fella." "He had a club and..." "I think they call him palmes." "Yet some of your soldiers did fire, Captain Preston." "As of this morning, five are dead..." "Men and boys." "My men acted in self-defense, Mr. Adams, as God almighty is our judge." "The hotheads have finally tasted blood." "We cannot be surprised by it." "The presence of the soldiers here is much resented." "Of course, the people of Boston would be lining up to pay taxes if they were represented in parliament." "But the fact remains that they're not, and defiance will not ensure their inclusion." "Our other colonies understand this." "Why can't Boston?" "Do you speak as yourself here or as the attorney general?" "The man and the office are one in the same." "The Governor is pleased that you've taken on the Preston matter." "I was not aware that the Governor took any notice of me at all." "You do not think it merited?" "Well..." "It is not for me to say." "Surely, John, you did not move your practice from the country to go unnoticed in Boston." "Please do not trouble yourself with a rebuttal." "I know you too well." "You're a hero, boy." "You haven't much of a case." "Do I not?" "No Boston jury will ever vote for acquittal." "Thank you for your kind advice, Sam." "This is not a time for showing how clever you are, cousin." "This is a time for choosing sides." "I am for the law, cousin is there another side?" "There are those who fight for our rights as natural-born Englishmen." "and those that would strip us of those rights!" "I do not have the luxury of your birth or your purse, Sam, to spend my days fomenting dissension." "I intend to prove this colony is governed by law..." "Whatever you and your sons of liberty may say on the matter!" "We're all sons of liberty here." "The jury are all but certain to have judged this issue before they hear a word of evidence." ""Does the government of King George have the right to tax the citizens of Boston when they are denied representation in the Parliament in Westminster?"" "Charles, stay away from the fire!" "But this is not a trial about taxes levied on Massachusetts." "You would do well to acknowledge it." "No, it is a trial about whether or not captain preston ordered his men to fire on that crowd, and if that crowd was a lawful assembly or a mob." "Remove yourself, sir!" "Nabby!" "Charles, please." "The resentment of Boston towards the crown is irrelevant!" "Do not ignore it." "It must be said." "Acknowledge it as a fact." "Do not comment and sit in judgment of the jury's prejudice." "Suggest that they must rise above it as you have done." "You have a higher opinion of juries than I." "You must persuade even more, and mask your impatience with those less intelligent than yourself." "Good heaven." "Is my demeanor in the court on trial now?" "I would not dream of telling you how to conduct yourself in court." "Would you not?" "I heard Captain Preston plain as day." ""damn your bloods!" he said." ""you won't treat me this way."" "And how would you describe the behavior of these young lads just before the soldiers fired?" "Throwing snowballs." "Snowballs!" "A terrifying prospect for armed soldiers..." "Snowballs!" "They didn't like it, sir." "Chilly on the skin and all." "Mr. Adams." "Mr. Goddard, when you arrived in the square, you had ample opportunity to observe the crowd." "I did, sir." "And were any of them carrying anything apart from snowballs?" "Let me see." "I don't recall, sir." "Were any of these men carrying clubs?" " They were, sir." " Indeed?" "A lawful assembly." "Not a riot, a lawful assembly in which people were carrying clubs." "To make certain nothing unlawful occurred, perhaps?" "The men are rope makers, sir." "As any true Boston man would know, the clubs they were carrying are for beating out rope." "For beating out rope, indeed?" "But could they not also be used for beating out men's brains?" "There was no riot!" "Any man who suggests there was is lying!" "Order!" "Mr. Goddard, where exactly were you standing when you say you heard the officer in the dock, Captain Preston, give the order to fire?" "Close enough to have touched him, sir." " And where was he standing?" " He stood behind his men, sir." "I see, I see." "Behind his men?" "I will ask the jury to take note of that." "Mr. Holmes..." "Would you please describe the events you witnessed on the night of march the 5th?" "I... saw some boys near the sentry..." "At the customhouse door." "And what were they doing, these boys?" "Making a noise." "Shouting..." "At the sentry?" "I suppose." "Were they doing anything else?" "What were they doing?" "Throwing ice, sir, and oyster shells." "And did this harassment continue?" "with the arrival of Captain Preston and his men?" "Yes." "It did." "Did you yourself pick up everything you could find and throw it at them?" "Yes, sir." "How many people were there about, Mr. Holmes?" "Near 200 boys and men before it was over." "200 boys and men." "Good heavens." "And as you say, they were throwing ice and oyster shells." "Were they throwing anything else?" "Did they throw their clubs, Mr. Holmes?" "As you say, this crowd, they were making a great hullabaloo?" " Yes." " They were shouting?" "What were they shouting to the soldiers?" "Just before the soldiers started shooting I heard the people say..." "What did you hear them say?" "Please, Mr. Holmes." "What did you hear them say?" ""Fire," ""damn you. fire!"" ""Fire!" ""Fire!" ""Fire, damn you!" "Fire!"" "Now, did you take this to be the cry of "fire"" "or bidding these soldiers to fire?" "They meant for the soldiers to shoot, sir." "You say that this crowd actually dared the soldiers to fire?" "That they did." "God help me, they did." "Thank you, sir." "Mr. Palmes?" "Mr. Palmes." "I know that you spoke to Captain Preston." "I simply want you to say what you saw that evening." "If British soldiers fired on a defenseless crowd without provocation" "I will be the first to want to see them hanged for it." "But suppose they are innocent." "I do not wish to see innocent men die in my name." "Do you?" "I wish to point out that my next witness does not appear in support of either party." "The court calls." "Richard palmes." "To come forth and be heard!" "Mr. Palmes," "Captain Preston has told me..." "That you were standing next to him just before the fatal moment." "I was." "So close, in fact, that your coat was scorched with musket fire." "Did you have occasion to exchange words with the accused?" "I did." "What did you say to him?" "I asked him if he had intention to order his men to fire on the crowd." "And what did Captain Preston reply?" "He said..." "As he was standing in front of them..." "He would be foolish to do so." "So you are prepared to swear he was standing in front of his men..." "Not behind them as Mr. Goddard told us?" "Mr Palmes." "And when did you hear the command to fire?" "After the first shot went off." "And did these words come from behind his men?" "I think they did." "Could you swear that Captain Preston did not shout that command?" "I could not." "Very good, Mr. Palmes." "Captain preston, you have heard the words of Richard Palmes." "Do you agree that you were standing not behind, but in front of your men?" "I do, sir." "Order!" "It was while I was speaking with him the first shot was fired, sir." " Without your giving orders?" " Indeed, sir." "If I may recall to the court the words of Richard Palmes." "I asked him "and when did you hear the command to fire?"" "and he answered" ""after the first shot went off."" "Which man fired, Captain?" "Young Mont..." "Private Montgomery, sir." "And what caused this man to fire, Captain?" "He received a severe blow with a club, sir." "He fell to the ground and his musket discharged." "After that happened, more clubs, bats..." "Order!" "Order!" "Planks rained down on my men!" "I was telling them not to fire, sir!" "Order!" "But some voices were urging them to fire." ""Fire!" ""Shoot me if you dare."" "They were, sir." "Where did these voices come from, Captain?" "From the alley behind my men, sir." "Voices from a crowd saying..." "Shouting "damn your bloods!" "Why don't you shoot fire?"" "kindly recall for the court the evidence of Robert Goddard." ""I heard the voice of Captain Preston say" ""Damn your bloods!"" ""and then he gave the order to fire."" "Be still." " Allow me to finish." " Well?" "John, how can I answer if you'll not let me finish?" " You did not like it." " I did not say that." "You did not have to." "It is a fine summary for the defense." "There is..." "Is much to admire." "It is, perhaps, at times..." "Yes?" "John, there's not a person in oston who doubts your education." "Your command of language..." "Dear." "You are charming me, Abigail." "You never charm me unless what you're about to say is cutting." "Vanity." "Vain?" "You have overburdened your argument with ostentatious erudition." "You do not need to quote great men to show you are one." "My purpose is to show that certain principles are eternal." "And that men of great minds have..." "Why are you laughing?" "Through the ages agreed on certain basic principles." "A noble purpose, no doubt." "But some of the jury might think that you want to prove the brilliance of the speaker rather than the truth of the case he is arguing." "Perhaps in certain passages, a more direct line..." "Might be an improvement." "I can see that I am to have no sleep tonight." "Would you have me lose all the quotations?" "What species of homicide is this?" "Here, in law, such a thing as voluntary manslaughter?" "No, a person cannot justify killing if he can by any means make his escape." "****" "Is guilty of malice aforethought." "And malice was very much on these prisoners' minds." "By the very act of loading their muskets with powder and ball, they have proved this." "They stand condemned by their own actions." "I ask that you heed the words of the indictment, that the accused, not having the fear of God before therir eyes, but being moved by the instigation of their own wicked hearts, did perpetrate nothing less than murder." "You must pronounce them guilty!" "I am for the prisoners at the bar." "In the words of the Marquis of Beccaria..." ""if by supporting the rights of mankind" ""I shall save from the agonies of death one unfortunate victim of tyranny," ""or of ignorance equally fatal..." ""His blessings will be sufficient consolation to me" ""for the contempt of all mankind."" "When people are taxed without representation, they are sometimes to feel abused." "And sometimes they may even rebel." "But we must take care, lest borne away by a torrent of passion we make shipwreck of conscience." "The prisoners must be judged solely upon the evidence produced against them in court and by nothing else." "And the evidence we have heard speaks plainly enough, gentlemen." "A sentry's post is his castle!" "And to attack it, by English law, is an illegal act." "Soldiers so assaulted may defend themselves to the death." "The people are crying," ""kill them!" "Kill them!" "Knock them down!"" "and they're heaving sharp cutting ice, oyster shells, clubs." "What are they to do, behave like stoic philosophers lost in apathy?" "Disregard these uniforms." "Consider the men who wear them." "Consider yourselves in such a situation and judge if a reasonable man would not fear for his life." "Facts are stubborn things." "See, whatever our wishes, our inclinations..." "Or the dictums of our passions..." "They cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." "You see, the law on the one hand is inexorable to the cries and lamentations of the prisoners." "But on the other hand, it is dea deaf as an adder to the clamors of the populace." "Gentlemen of the jury," "I submit to your candor and justice..." "The prisoners and their cause." "All those trees we planted..." "Keep them well pruned." "They should fetch a shilling each." "And maybe we should try flax instead of corn this year in the north pasture." " The jury's back already, sir." " Thank you." "An ill omen for our side." "Go." "Don't leave those lying all about, Charles." "Here." "Well done." "On the charge of murder..." "We the jury find the accused," "Captain Thomas Preston, not guilty." "On the charge of murder, we the jury find the accused:" "John Carroll, James Hartigan," "Matthew Kilroy, William Mccauley," "Hugh Montgomery, William Warren," "William Wemms and Hugh White..." "Not guilty." "There being further business before the court" "I hereby declare this session adjourned!" "God save the King!" "God save the King!" " God save your King!" " Move." "Bastard." " Well well, gentlemen." " Thank you, sir." "Please take this, sir." "It isn't much, but it's from the lot of us..." "Now if I were you, I'd confine myself to barracks for a good while, yeah?" "What about yourself, Mr. Adams?" "You really think you're gonna be safe from this rabble?" "No, you forget, Captain Preston, you have just been acquitted by a jury of New England men." "Massachusetts is my country, sir." " With me, lads." " Thank you, sir." "I have done it, Mrs. Adams." "There will be no living with you at all now, I suppose." "Children, congratulate your father." " Congratulations, father." " Thank you." " Charles, fetch my pipe." " Yes, sir." " Nabby, tea." " Yes, father." "Johnny, come here and help me with my boots." " Yes, father." " There we are." "Harder!" "There we go." "Whatever the cost to your practice, your defense of Captain Preston has earned you a reputation for impartiality." "If you were now to speak out in opposition to the crown, it would lend gravity to our cause." "I know you share our sympathies, cousin." "Why not stand for election on the Massachusetts council?" "I have no talent for politics." "I am by nature far too independent-minded." "And besides," "I hardly think that my name will add luster to your cause at this time." "Half my clients have left me since the trial." "I have already served one term on the Massachusetts council and it made me ill with work, work which made it almost impossible for me to attend to my practice." "I have no desire to serve again." "I thank you for your offer, gentlemen..." "But my family must take precedence." "Many in Boston are unable to make their living." "The crown's policies are reducing them to poverty." " You exaggerate, sir." " We are required..." "We are required to import British goods and then expected to pay for the privilege." "They've taxed our paper, our glass, the lead in our paint..." "even our playing cards and dice." "All such taxes, I remind you, repealed." "Repealed because we've spoken out against them." "And we'll continue to do so." "without your support it would seem." "I cannot oblige you, gentlemen." "I'm sorry." "The office of advocate general in the court of admiralty" " has become vacant." " Is that so?" "I have spoken about you to the Governor." "We were both of the opinion that you would be... the ideal candidate." "I'm flattered." "A recommendation has been agreed to by the King." "The appointment is yours, John, and brings with it the powers and privileges attached to the King's name." "Congratulations, John." "It's no secret, John that your practice has fallen off since the trial." "For the most part, that is the case." "This would be an entree to the most profitable business in the colony." "What do you say, my friend?" "You do not speak, John." "qui tacet consentire" "Mrs. Adams means to say that her husband's silence suggests that he is willing to have his name put forward to King George." "My father was a shoemaker." "My mother could not read." "and I have been singled out for preferment by the King of England." "I am for the law... and yet, in whom is the power of that law vested?" "The King." "I am for the law..." "And yet who can give me preferment?" "The King of England." "To be the King's man, and all that it would carry with it." "So what is it Mr. Hancock requires of me?" "He would like your advice." "If he is in need of legal advice, I will speak to him." "but if this is yet again an exercise to win me over..." "John, this is business, John." "The Dartmouth, the Eleanor, the Beaver, just in, their holds full of tea." "All British ships. the King demands that their cargo be unloaded, cargo on which we, the citizens of Boston, must pay a new tax." "You will not land this cargo, gentlemen!" "This is legitimate cargo, tea from the east india company that you are bound by law to unload." "What's legitimate about it, friend?" "No other tea is allowed in Boston harbor!" "Either we drink the King's foul brew or nothing at all." " And who may you be, sir?" " John Hancock, ship owner." " Not John Hancock, smuggler?" " watch your words, sir!" "I'm an honest man being strangled by monopoly!" " Shame on you, sir!" " Shame on you!" "Shame on you!" "Shame on you!" "Sam!" "Teach him a lesson!" "tar the bastard!" "No, Sam." "For the love of God, Sam!" "This is barbarism!" "Barbarism!" "Do you approve of this?" "People are hurt when they fight for what is rightfully theirs!" "Do you approve of brutal and illegal acts to enforce a political principle, Sam?" "Answer me that, can you?" "I am afraid of where this may lead us... if we do not chart our course carefully... together." "This colony does not dictate to Parliament, nor to the King." "if the Crown decides tea is to be taxed, it will be taxed." "Would you have the Empire bankrupted?" "The war we fought to expand our territory, to protect our borders from the Indians and their French allies, it was a costly affair." "I'm not here to debate the necessity of taxes, but the manner in which they are imposed." "Massachusetts must shoulder its share of the burden." "and be treated as second-class citizens?" "Without the rights and liberties of natural-born Englishmen..." "Liberty in this colony has often carried a taint of anarchy." "My offer still stands, John." "The Crown has a high opinion of you." "So do I." "The Crown is misguided, but it is not despotic." "I firmly believe that." "Your cousin does not." "nor his many friends." "They have cause." "it seems my cousin and his friends intend to take the government of this colony into their own hands." "People are in need of strong governance." "Restraint." "Most men are weak and evil and vicious." ""Whereas dangerous insurrections have been fomented in the town of Boston" ""to the utter subversion of his Majesty's government" ""and the utter destruction of the public peace," ""be it enacted that no goods or merchandise" ""whatever be transported to or brought from any other colony" ""or country."" ""Be it enacted for the suppression of riots, tumults," ""all disturbers of the King's peace are to be transported to England for trial."" ""Any British soldier or officer charged with a capital crime" ""will, in like manner, be transported out of the colony" ""to receive a fair hearing."" ""Be it enacted that for better regulating" ""the Government of Massachusetts," ""the present council is to be immediately disbanded."" ""Be it enacted that Royal Army officers" ""are authorized to quarter their troops among the citizenry." ""General Thomas Gage is hereby dispatched" ""with four of our regiments to compel compliance" ""with all these measures."" "Gage's ships will close up the bay and cut us off from the rest of the country." "Boston must suffer martyrdom." "Our principal consolation is that it dies a noble death." "Our people will not stand idly by." "They have weapons and they know how to use them." "Against the British Empire?" "A Congress will be meeting in Philadelphia to determine how to recover our rights and liberties." "I have nominated you to represent Massachusetts." "We're sending five men." "You should be among them." "Does this Congress have any legal authority?" "Since all assemblies have been outlawed, I cannot imagine that it does." "I repeat, does this Congress have any legal authority?" "Tosspots." "Massachusetts is in a state of open rebellion..." "The abuse of customs officers, 342 chests of tea spilled into the harbor by vandals masquerading as indians." "The time for gentleness has passed." "These acts strip us of our rights, Jonathan, our rights..." "The power of self government, the replacement of court officers loyal to the Crown..." "The position that you yourself offered me." " Which you refused." " I would no doubt be ineligible for now as I am not a loyal tory." "The Crown believes that the courts of Massachusetts are hopelessly biased." "They can no longer be trusted to deliver justice." "I see." "Did Captain Preston and his soldiers not receive justice?" "I staked my reputation and the security of my family on a case that will now be tried in England because he is an English officer?" "Are we considered too young, too unprincipled to understand justice?" "the Crown has ruled, John." "The only reasonable course left is obedience." "and you would do well to remember that and act accordingly, old friend." "Good day, old friend." "From our committee of correspondence in Virginia, we hear that the House of burgesses has selected deputies to join the great continental Congress." "We have heard tonight from our own representatives to Congress convening in Philadelphia..." "Mr. John Hancock..." "Mr. Robert treat Paine and Mr. Elbridge Gerry." "I give you now a new delegate from Massachusetts... a man whose prudence and probity are well known to you all..." "Mr. John Adams!" " let it be known..." " Speak up!" "Let it be known that British liberties are not the grants of princes or parliaments... that many of our rights are inherent and essential... agreed on as maxims and established as preliminaries even before parliament existed." "We have a right to them, derived from our maker." "Our forefathers have earned and bought liberty for us at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasures and their blood." "Liberty is not built on the doctrine that a few nobles have a right to inherit the earth." "It stands on this principle:" "that the meanest and lowest of the people are, by the unalterable, indefeasible laws of God and nature, as well entitled to the benefit of the air to breathe, light to see, food to eat and clothes to wear as the nobles or the King." "That is liberty... and liberty will reign in America!" "they have chosen their delegate well, John." "Have they?" "To argue against the Crown, the commons, the lords..." "No, we New England men are not fit for the times," "What have we seen of the world beyond Boston?" "What have we seen?" "I fear we not know what we do," "When men know not what to do, they ought not to do they know not what." "I want you to keep your head and look after your mother and your brother and your sister." "Charles, put those things back!" "Are these britches suitably dignified for a delegate of the great continental Congress of America?" "A delegate's britches are one of his most important tools." "Why is that?" "Because the art of politics is the art of applying the seat of the britches to the seat of the chair." "It's the procession!" "All a gift from the sons of liberty!" "God help us." "My old horse will suit me just fine, Sam." "A plain horse for plain John Adams." "Well, come on, John!" "and if it is a girl, we will name her Elizabeth," " after your mother." " Your favorite waistcoat." " I have not packed it." " It's nothing." "Will you be safe?" "We will go to the farm." "We will be fine." "Won't let anyone steal the place." "Been in your family since Charles II." "Go." "Forgive me, Abigail." "For what, John?" "Goodbye, you little pumpkins." "John, you remember what I said." "To Philadelphia!" "To Congress!" "In." "I would read into the record, for the benefit of those delegates who are unable to remain to close of session, the declarations and resolves of this first Congress." "Resolved..." "That to the recent grievous acts imposed by parliament on Massachusetts, we cannot submit." "But in hopes that our fellow subjects in Great Britain will restore to us happiness and prosperity, rather than support the Massachusetts militia, we have agreed to pursue the following peaceable measures..." "To publish a statement of the aforesaid to the inhabitants of British America." "Who need no reminders." "Two, to enter into a non-importation, non-consumption and non-exportation agreement of British goods." " Which no one will honor." " And three, to prepare a loyal address to his majesty." "Which his majesty will not read." "This Congress stands adjourned." "The business of this Congress being concluded, all delegates..." ""The business of this Congress."" "The business of this Congress has been to achieve nothing." "... the year of our Lord, 1775." "You carry good news back home, Mr. Paine." "Massachusetts has made its cause plain to its sister colonies, and now it will be made plain to Parliament." "I beg to differ, Mr. Dickinson." "Nothing has been made plain." "All this Congress has shown is that every man in it thinks that he is a great man..." "Orator, a critic, a statesman." "And therefore every man must show his oratory, his criticism, his political ability." "If it were moved and seconded that two and three make five, we should spend two whole days debating the matter and only then pass a resolution in the affirmative." "Well, in that event, Mr. Adams, our adjournment comes not a moment too soon." "A toast, gentlemen and ladies." "May Boston's troubles soon be at an end and her people's natural rights as Englishmen be fully restored." "May the sword of the parent never be stained with the blood of her children." "God save the King." "God save the king." "Part II:" "INDEPENDENCE" "There we are." "Go on, get a feel for it." "Put your hands in there." "Deeper." "Deeper." "There." "There, turn it, yeah?" "Now, the best recipe is equal parts salt marsh, upland soil and dung." "Manure is an art, and I consider myself an accomplished artist." "Smell that." "I want to be a farmer too, papa." "Do you now?" "Farming is noble employment, Johnny." "The noblest there is." "And this farm will always be in our family." "But it's to be school and the law for you." "As it was for me." "Mr. Adams!" "Mr. Adams!" "The British!" "The British are marching on concord!" "The British are marching on concord!" " To arms!" " Go inside!" "Charles!" "Inside, Charles!" "Get inside!" "The first sign of trouble, you fly to the woods!" "Stay with me!" "Come on, faster!" "Doctor Warren!" "What is God's name has happened?" "Gage sent a regiment to seize our powder and arms at concord." "Hundreds of our militia turned out." "The British got nothing." " Where are they now?" "Are they close by?" " We are chasing the bastards back to Boston, and we'll keep them there!" "Move!" "Come on, men." "There can be no mistaking Britain's intentions now." "If you had seen them, Abigail." "An army of plain country boys..." "With no experience of professional soldiering." "But their faces shing like the sun through a church window." "We must support them..." "With guns and leadership and faith in what they do." "Say that, John." "Say that to the Congress." "If I have to stand and rail until my voice breaks and my legs collapse beneath me..." "This time Congress will act." "Men..." "Need to think that they have made their own decisions..." "Not had them forced upon them." "I don't have the time to coddle like a young girl courting a beau." "To sit in Philadelphia listening to men talking to hear themselves talk, resolving nothing..." "To subject myself to that yet again, I cannot." "I cannot." "Where are these gentlemen from Massachusetts?" "What have you done with these gentlemen from Massachusetts?" "Have you stolen these gentlemen from Massachusetts?" "There they are!" "All the way from Boston." "Are they not a shame on their country?" "Are they not a disgrace to all civilized beings?" "Has not even the reverend Ebenezer Slither declared them so?" "They have violated the fundamental rule of warfare, which is always to let the British win!" "Did they not pursue the British army with ungentlemanly haste after their cowardly victory at Concord?" "Must you be so extreme, Dr. Franklin?" "I'm an extreme moderate, Mr. Rutledge." "I believe anybody not in favor of moderation and compromise out to be castrated." "And that all this should be sent down to the..." "To the Parliament, for they seem to need..." "How shall I put it?" "Stones." "There." "I think we scared him off." "I am very glad to have you gentlemen with us." "Very glad indeed." "I beg the good gentlemen here." "I beseech you..." "Entreat." "He left out entreat." "I entreat you to remember that we remain the King'subject, whatever the recent unpleasantness in Massachusetts." "One rash action does not merit a rash response!" "Might must be met with reason, not arms!" "I remind Mr. Rutledge and Mr. Duane that blood has been shed." "Massachusetts' blood." "While we debate, our militia is left without munitions, without arms, without even the slightest encouragement." "Mr. Dickinson of Pennsylvania." "One colony cannot be allowed to take its sister colonies headlong into the maelstrom of war." "Parliament will be eager to call a halt to hostilities, as are we." "They will seek conciliation." "We must offer them an olive branch." "I move this assembly consider a humble and dutiful petion be dispatched to his Majesty, one that includes a plain statement that the colony desires immediate negotiation and accommodation of these unhappy disputes, and that we are willing to enter into measures" " to achieve that reconciliation." " Second!" "Mr. Dickinson?" "The time for negotiation is past." "The actions of the British army at Lexington and Concord speak plainly enough." "If we wish to regain our natural-born rights as Englishmen..." "Then we must fight for them." "I have looked for our rights in the laws of nature and can find them only in the laws of political society." "I have looked for our rights in the constitution of the English government and found them there!" "Our rights have been violated, Mr. Adams, that is beyond dispute." "We must provide a plan to convince Parliament to restore those rights!" "Do we wish to become aliens to the mother country?" "No, gentlemen, we must come to terms with the mother country." "No doubt the same ship which carries forth our list of grievances will bring back their redress." "Mr. Dickinson..." "My wife and young children live on the main road to Boston, fewer than five miles from the full might of the British Empire." "Should they sit and wait for gage and his savages to rob them of their home, their possessions, their very lives?" "No, sir!" "Powder and artillery are the surest and most infallible conciliatory measures we can adopt!" "If you explode the possibility of peace, Mr. Adams, and I tell you now, you will have blood on your hands!" "And I tell you, Mr. Dickinson, that to hold out an olive branch to Britain is a measure of gross imbecility." "If you New England men continue to oppose our measures of reconciliation, you will leave us no choice but to break off from you entirely and carry on the opposition in our own way." "I sit in judgment of no man's religion, Mr. Dickinson..." "But your quaker sensibilities do us a gross disservice, sir." "It is one thing to turn the other cheek, but to lie down in the ground like a snake and crawl toward the seat of power... in abject surrender, well, that is quite another thing, sir." " And I have no stomach for it, sir!" " Mr. Adams!" "No stomach at all!" "We will exhaust all peaceful approaches, Mr. Adams." "And we will do it with or without the approbation of you and your Boston insurrectionists!" "Hear, hear!" "Mr. Dickinson's motion to send an olive branch petion to his majesty has been made and seconded." "We shall proceed to a vote." " New Hampshire?" " New Hampshire votes no." " Massachusetts?" " Massachusetts votes no." " Rhode Island?" " Rhode Island votes no." " New York?" " New York votes yes!" "Hear, hear." " Connecticut?" " Connecticut votes no." "New Jersey?" "New Jersey votes yes." "Hear, hear." "Delaware?" "Delaware votes yes." "Pennsylvania?" "Pennsylvania votes yes." "Virginia?" "Virginia votes yes." " Maryland?" " Maryland votes yes." "South Carolina?" "South Carolina votes yes." " Georgia?" " Georgia votes yes." "The storm did not quite behave as it was meant to behave." "Unlike the British army, it did not travel in a straight line." "As my brother told me at the time..." " Mr. Adams." " Doctor." "Dr. Rush has been telling me that he has bled most of Philadelphia." "He quite swears by the regenerative powers of desanguination." "Thus far, Philadelphia has survived..." "Can I have a private word with you, doctor?" " Certainly, Mr. Adams." " Gentlemen, if you..." "If you'll excuse me." "Mr Rodney" "You seem a little distracted, Mr. Adams." "I had thought that you were with us." "As I am, as I am." "But not enough to come out and say so." "Politics is the art of the possible." "What did you get by opposing the motion?" "It was carried with our without you." "All you did was make enemies aand make yourself feel better, of course." "Do you not believe in saying what you think?" "No, I'm very much against it." "Thinking aloud is a habit responsible for much of mankind's misery." "St. Thomas à Becket might have lived to a ripe old age if he..." "You insulted Mr. Dickinson." "You insulted him in public." "Would you have me insult him in private?" "It's perfectly acceptable to insult someone in private." "Sometimes they might even thank you for it afterwards." "But when you do it in public, they tend to think you are serious." "I feel myself hated in this town." "Go gently." "I beg you." "You are a guest in Philadelphia." "Fish and guests..." "Stink after three days." "You would do well to seek out the gentlemen of Virginia." "Their vote went against me as well." "Virginia must be won, Mr. Adams." "Their wealth, prestige, their size..." "No other colony carries that much weight." "And I think you'll find, despite their recent vote, that they are of your opinion." "And of your opinion, sir." "My opinion is that I have no opinion." "But I'll gladly come with you, to find out what my opinion might be." "Diplomacy is seduction in another guise, Mr. Adams." "One improves with practice." "Mr. Harrison, Mr. Lee." "Gentlemen, good morning to you." "Mr. Lee?" "You are said to be the cicero of Virginia." "Like you, Mr. Adams, we are arming ourselves for our own defense." "Beyond that, the Virginia convention has given us no instructions." "Were it up to myself and Colonel Washington..." "Oh, yes indeed." "Colonel Washington." " Good morning to you, colonel." " Mr. Adams." "Colonel, you are in mourning?" "for Massachusetts, Mr. Adams." "An attack made on one of our sister colonies is an attack made on all of us." "If only all of the Congress were of your sentiment, sir." "I am prepared to raise 1,000 men, subsist them at my own expense and march them myself to the relief of Boston." "We may yet have need of your generosity." "Not generosity, Mr. Adams, duty." "A natural leader." "He's always the tallest man in the room." "He's bound to end up leading something." "When will we escape this dreadful city, doctor?" "Philadelphia is not to your liking, sir?" "I'd rather be in my own country." "Would not you?" "I would, Mr. Jefferson, yes." "Well, excuse me." "ma!" "ma!" "Are those our guns, mama?" "I pray they are." " Would you like some water, sir?" " Thank you, ma'am." "Thank you." "Thank you, ma'am." "We saw flames above the harbor." "Gage's ships laid into us with cannon fire." "They sent their butchers through the smoke up Bunker Hill." "Dear God." "We held them back." "Thank you." "Do I know that face?" "I knew that face." "Children, inside." "General Warren is fallen at Bunker Hill..." "Shot through the head..." "Bayoneted and stripped of his clothes." "I knew him, gentlemen." "He was my physician." "The full measure of British atrocity is too terrible to relate." ""400 patriots dead."" "Not professional soldiers, ordinary citizens of Massachusetts who willingly gave their lives to defend what was rightfully theirs..." "Their liberty." "But they took with them more than 1,000 British soldiers and 100 of their officers." "If this Congress does not support the Massachusetts militia, it could very well dissolve, gentlemen!" "Should that happen..." "Should that happen..." "We will be left defenseless, gentlemen." "Yes. absolutely." "I move that the Congress adopt the Massachusetts militia immediately!" "Mr. Adams." "Second!" "You are asking us to form an army," "Mr. Adams..." "A force acting not for a single colony, but all 13!" "Now there's not a man here present who does not mourn the loss of the brave men of Massachusetts." "But it is at such times that caution must prevail." "It may be weeks before our last petion reaches the King, many weeks more before we may hope for a reply." "While we await answer, we must avoid any escalation of the hostilities between us." "The situation is perilous!" "What is required now is one able man to build and to lead this new continental army." "And who do you propose of the Massachusetts delegates should lead this force?" "Gentlemen, we move too quickly." "We have not yet resolved the question of any continental army, much less who is to lead it." "I have but one gentleman in mind, known to all of us." "Mr. President, I propose as commander in chief, our most honorable and esteemed delegate..." "The good gentleman from Virginia, Colonel George Washington." "Second!" "I commend your selection, sir." "There is no more able soldier in all America." "Colonel Washington would command approbation in all Americans, were he to accept the position that it is now our great honor to offer him." "If the Congress sees fit to honor me with the command," "it will be my humble duty to serve." "By your modesty, you show the wisdom of our choice." "There are two motions on the floor." "Should Congress adopt the Massachusetts militia and should Colonel Washington be appointed as commander in chief of this continental army?" "I think we should move towards a vote." "Congratulations, General Washington." "I am truly sensible of the high honor the Congress has done me." "But I tell you now, I do not think myself equal to the command I am honored with." "Your men, your continental army, awaits you at Cambridge, sir." "And I shall see you there on my return." " Will General howe attack again?" " Impossible to say." "What is that but an army of occupation?" "And the Congress goes on its knees to the King." "Has the King deigned to reply?" "I understand people like Mr. Dickinson and his friends all too well, John." "Send a woman to the Congress." "She might knock some sense into them." "It is not a question of men and women." "It is a matter politics." "Politics." "Politics?" "And do women not live politics, John Adams?" "When I go to the cupboard and I find no coffee, no sugar, no pins, no meat, am I not living politics?" "This war touches people that your Congress treats with the same contempt" "King George deserves for the people of Boston." "I mean women, yes, and slaves too, for that matter." "Though I am sure you wish I would not mention that subject, as it might upset your southern friends." " You're harsh, madam." " I am cold." "And frightened." "I am afraid this war will never end or begin." "I am frightened too, Abigail." "And however much I talk and talk," "I will never carry the Congress." "It seems that I must come down to Philadelphia and box the ears of Mr. Dickinson and his cronies." "I must pray for guidance in all our endeavors, wherever they may lead us." "And where will they lead us, John?" "I sometimes think we may be heading to a complete and irrevocable independence." "The enemy are quite entrenched." "To take Boston may mean its utter destruction." "I could call on only 5 000 troops who are fit to fight." "I thought you had at least 20 000 men under your command?" "A great many have gone home since their enlistments expired," "New England men a good lot of them." "I cannot conceal our condition from the British indefinitely." "We have been decimated by the bloody pox." "It is sheer providence they haven't discovered our predicament." "Upon my return to Philadelphia," "I will make this situation known and the Congress will find whatever you require, sir." "Nothing has yet come from all their promises of powder, muskets supplies, Mr. Adams." " Mr. Adams." " I will persuade them, sir." "And I will also argue to the Congress that an alliance with France and Spain is essential." "But above all," "I intend to present them with a Declaration of Independency." "You've already spoken of this?" "Oh no no one speaks of it." "At least not publicly." "But it is the only sure guarantee of our liberty." "Independence will mean war" "from one end of the colonies to the other." "I have no illusions about that." "But first, let us free Boston." "The rest will follow." "So many have been carried away by the bloody pox." "We cannot risk infection in this house." "How you will manage this winter with the blockade, I don't know." "We will manage." "Somehow we will manage." "I should go before the weather worsens." "I would gladly take a walk in our garden with you" " when the spring comes." " No more, John!" "No more." "I hate the Congress!" "General Washington still awaits our reply to the problem of re-enlistments." " The king's seal." " Now he respectfully suggests that a salary be granted our soldiers commensurate with their sacrifice." "But he has no money on hand to pay them." "Tents, soap, shoes and blankets are also greatly wanting." "The army recently took shipment of 50 crates of rifles, all without the flints required to shoot them." "A proclamation by King George III." ""many of our subjects, misled by a desperate conspiracy" "of dangerous and ill-designing men," "have forgotten the allegiance which they owe to the power that has protected and supported them, and have declared rebellion" "and traitorously levied war against us." "It is the better part of wisdom to put a speedy end to such disorders." "We have thought fit to issue our royal proclamation that all our royal officers, both civil and military, are obliged to suppress such rebellion and bring the traitors to justice." "When the unhappy and deluded multitude against whom this force shall be directed shall become sensible of their error," "I shall be ready to receive the misled with tenderness and mercy." "for those who persist in their treason..." "For those who persist in their treason, the punishment shall be death by hanging." "given in parliament this 26th day of october in the year..."" "1775."" "God save the King." "God damn the King!" "God bless the King." "Who else could have brought such a spirit of unity to this Congress?" "We will now all hang together." "Or, most assuredly, we will all hang separately." "The question is no longer whether there shall be independence, but when." "If we force a decision too soon, we may reap disaster." "Independence without unanimity means nothing." " I'm in complete agreement, doctor." " I will leave immediately." "The Virginia Convention must free us to act." "All 13 clocks must strike at the same second." "Charles, Charles!" "Charles, come back!" "Children, step away from the door." "Charles!" "Charles, go inside!" "Go inside!" "Go!" "Mr. Knox." "Mr. Knox!" " Mr. Knox!" " Mrs. Adams?" "You sold books to my husband, now look at you." " What are you doing?" " British guns captured at Fort Ticonderoga." "General Washington may have some use for them." " How on earth did you manage?" " Rowed them across lake George and hauled them over the berkshires." "We call that one Liberty." "And that big one there stuck in the mire, we call it Independence!" "When *how* we saw the guns from Ticonderoga ringing the city he shouted, "good God, these fellows have done more work in one day than I made my army do in three months."" "General Washington's surprise sent them scurrying like rats." "Mr. Lee, now is the time." "And with your good news I can depend upon Virginia to lead the way." "The honor is mine, sir." "We are about to take a leap in the dark, Mr. Jefferson." "I would gladly lend my hand to sink the whole island of Great Britain in the ocean." "Now, I have not heard you say three words together in the last Congress." "with such passion, I regret that you haven't made your mind more plainly known." "I have no gift for oratory." "President recognizes Mr. Lee of Virginia." " Order, gentlemen!" " Resolved..." "That these united colonies are and of a right ought to be free and independent states;" "They are absolved of all allegiance to the British crown;" "and that all political connection between them and the country of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved." "No!" "Second!" "Second from Mr. Adams." "Am I to understand that Virginia has freed their delegates to propose this measure?" "They have, sir. the liberation of Boston has quite convinced them." "The British may have abandoned Boston, Mr. Lee, but that is not an end to the business!" "General Howe is said to be awaiting reinforcements!" "Thousands of godless hessian mercenaries among them." "First they will attack New York, then this very city!" "Two warships have been sighted sailing up the Delaware, gentlemen." "What possible object can they have if not to take this Congress and every man in it by force?" "Our river defenses..." "Our river defenses will hold them, sir!" "How shall we fight them?" "With what navy shall we turn them back?" "England is poised to strike a fatal blow!" "I must ask again, why such haste?" "Why should we pull down the old house" " before we are prepared to..." " Because..." "Enough!" "Because, Mr. Duane, the middle way that some in this chamber have been seeking is no way at all." "Gentlemen, please hear me out, gentlemen!" "If we finally fail in this great and glorious contest, it will be by bewildering ourselves in groping for the middle way!" "Gentlemen, Dr. Franklin knows England better than any man here." "Can we not yet hope to see a clearer sky?" "Well, if my long residence in London as this colony's agent to the Court has taught me anything, Mr. Dickinson, it has taught me this:" "that given the choice between doing what is right and doing what is not right, his majesty's government will take the later course every time." "Well said, well said." "Dr. Franklin has the floor." "The King refuses our petitions." "He has branded us rebels." "The question is not whether by a..." "by a declaration of independence that we should make ourselves something we are not, but whether we should declare as fact something which already exists." " No!" " Only the voice..." "Only the voice of the people can proclaim independence." "No no, Mr. Dickinson!" "The people wait for us to lead the way." "and we must lose no time in leading them, sir." "No time at all." "And just whom do you think will join us in this folly?" " France, for one!" " France!" "Gentlemen!" "England is our common enemy, sir." "Mr. Adams would make us French subjects!" "Partners, Mr. Duane, not subjects." "General Washington's army needs arms and men!" "King Louis cannot be expected to acknowledge us until we have acknowledged ourselves and taken our rightful place as a sovereign power." "Mr. Adams..." " Mr. Franklin has the floor." " Mr. Adams is right." "Let us send an envoy to King Louis while our affairs wear a hopeful aspect." "What if no alliance comes?" "What then, sir?" "Then so be it." ""So be it"?" "We will not vote for independence, Mr. Adams." "Not now, not ever!" "Mr. Duane well knows that reconciliation would be as agreeable to my inclinations," "and as advantageous to my interests as to any man's!" "but, I see no prospect for it, no probability, no possibility!" "And I cannot abide the hypocritical heart that pretends to expect peace when in truth it does not." "This Congress has no more right to pass such a resolution than parliament has!" " We must beware of overreaching!" " Aye!" "When demosthenes..." "When Demosthenes traveled as ambassador through Greece he did not go, Mr. President, ... through time!" "If you plan on taking us to creation itself," "I should like send word to my landlady, she should not waste any eggs for my breakfast." "He did not go, Mr. President, to propose a non-importation" " or non-consumption agreement." " I beg your pardon, sir." "pray forgive me for not recognizing the worthy Demosthenes." "I mistook you for a Massachusetts man." "Do you know the conduct of some states from the beginning of this affair has given me reason to suspect that it is their settled policy to keep to the rear of our confederacy come what may," "so as not to harm their future prospects?" " Mr. Adams..." " No, there are persons in Philadelphia to whom a ship is dearer than a city, and a few barrels of flour dearer than 1000 lives." "Other men's lives." "That is an outrageous slander!" "Gentlemen, we cannot debate this endlessly." "I call for a vote on Mr. Lee's resolution for independence." " New Hampshire?" " New Hampshire votes yes." " Connecticut?" " Connecticut votes yes." " New Jersey?" " New Jersey votes no." " Georgia?" " Georgia votes yes." " Virginia?" "Virginia votes yes." " New York?" " New York votes no!" " North Carolina?" " North Carolina votes yes." " One moment, please." "South Carolina, on behalf of its sister colonies..." "States!" "requests a postponement to seek new instructions." "20 days should be sufficient." "This is good." "Any objections?" "No, none, sir." "No." "Congress shall reconvene on july 1st to consider Mr. Lee's resolution." "Mr. President, perhaps a committee should be formed to present a statement to the people should the vote tend toward independence." "Mr. Dickinson?" "Form your committee, Mr. Adams." "present!" "The thought of what awaits us in New York robs me of my sleep." "Are you so certain of defeat?" "To give battle to the British army, their ranks swollen with the 17,000 hessians," "I know not how our men will stand the test." "General Howe elected to depart Boston in peace rather than lay waste to the city." "New York may not be so fortunate." "That such evil should befall a people..." "Could it be punishment for the sin of slavery?" "I cannot say." "We grow gloomy, Mrs. Adams." "Forgive me." "I had hoped this visit would be a respite from what weighs upon me." "Is there some service I may do for you?" "For your family?" "There is one thing that I would ask." "My correspondence with my husband is more important than I can say." "It has become so difficult to get letters through, and... fear of interception has limited" "what we may say to each other." "If I could impose upon you to carry my letters..." "My own courier will take them safely to Philadelphia along with my dispatches." "Thank you." "Your advice is greatly valued by Mr. Adams." "The more quickly he receives it, the more quickly we may all be beneficiaries of your counsel." "I fear I cannot oblige you, sir, because..." "If we are to achieve our longed-for separation from England, we must be ready in the state legislatures with new codes of law and governance. and to that end all my time away from the assembly is taken up with urgent correspondence on a new constitution for Virginia." "We are of the same mind there." "Massachusetts, too, must have its constitution." "But I would have one founded on principles which could one day inform the confederacy of all the states." "but we must first achieve this long-hoped-for separation, and to that end we must have a declaration of principles." "Should you not write this thing yourself?" "No no." "I do not have time." "I head the board of war and ordinance as well as serving on 22 other committees." "and the outcome of this great question is far from certain, so my energies must be spent **ing the debate on the floor." " And why me?" " Reasons enough, sir." "What can possibly be your reason?" "First, you area virginian, and a virginian should be at the head of this business as it's the most powerful state." "And second," "I am obnoxious, suspected and unpopular." "And you are very much otherwise." "Third, and perhaps most important," "I have read your summary view of the rights of British America and I have a great opinion of the elegance of your pen," "and none at all of my own." "You're too modest, sir." "You're the first to find me so, sir." "I am not by nature a humble man, but circumstances sometimes require a change of habits." " I see that you're quite decided." " That I am, Mr. Jefferson." "Quite." "Have you consulted with your husband?" "Mr. Adams is not here and the pox is rampant." "Inoculation is not without risk." "The distemper manifests itself differently in each person." "You and your children may experience some fever and inflammation, perhaps a form of the disease itself." "I am aware of the risks." "Some cases have even resulted in death." "This is something altogether unexpected." "not only a declaration of our independence, but... of the rights of all men." "No this is well said, sir." "Very well said." ""The christi King of Great Britain" ""has waged cruel war against human nature itself" ""in the persons of a distant people who never offended him," ""captivating and carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere."" "Yes, you lay the evils of slavery at the..." "The feet of the King, but you say nothing of slavery itself, sir." "Now surely, if the trade is outlawed but ownership is not, then those unfortunate negroes still in servitude will become a more lucrative commodity." "That's not what I intended, Dr. Franklin." "Slavery is an abomination and must be loudly proclaimed as such, but I own that neither I nor any man has any immediate solution to the problem." "It... is no matter." "The issue before us is independence and not emancipation." " Dr. Franklin, this document is..." " is something..." "Something our friends in the Congress will debate." "But I will be very surprised if they will countenance an attack on slavery." ""We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable," ""that all men are created equal..."" "Et cetera." ""sacred and undeniable."" "Smacks of the pulpit." "Does it?" "These truths are self-evident are they not?" "Perhaps." "Self-evident then." "Self-evident?" " Self-evident." " Self-evident." "Do not mistake me, sir." "I share your sentiment." "Every single word was precisely chosen." "I assure you of that, Dr. Franklin." "Yes, but yours will not be the only hand in this document." "It cannot be." "They will try to mangle it, and they may succeed." "There may be expressions which I would not have inserted if I had drawn it up, but I will defend every word of it." "It's what I believe." "This is a..." "A marvelous invention, Mr. Jefferson." "Yes, I went through a number of variations." "This is by far the most successful." "The simplest is always the best." "It's two seats and the top one swivels on rollers made from the window sash pulleys." "Most ingenious." "Stay inside." "One more time, lad." "Just a small cut." "Done." "Who's first?" "So it's you?" "What is your name?" " Charles." " Charles." "Roll up your sleeve." "That's it." "Here we go." "Just a small cut." "Almost done." "There you are, lad." " It'll hurt a little bit." " I want papa." "Pa's not here." "We must depend upon ourselves." "One more, one more." "Almost done." "There lies our battle." "The others may yet come around, but Pennsylvania and New York are too self-interested, too tory." "Mr. Dickinson is too unbending." "And too effective." "Most effective, Mr. Adams, most effective." "And rutledge." "Good luck to you, sir." "Congress will take into consideration the resolution concerning independence." "Mr. Dickinson?" "Gentlemen." "The consequences involved in the motion now lying before us are of such magnitude that I tremble at the oppressive honor of sharing in its determination." "My conduct this day, I expect," "will give the finishing blow to my once great and now much-diminished popularity." "Yet I had rather forfeit popularity forever" "than vote away the blood and happiness of my countrymen." "Independence will not strengthen us by one man!" "Nor by the least supply." "But it may expose our soldiers to additional cruelties and outrages." "The full fury of British rifle will be unleashed." "Indians will be loosest on the frontier." "Negros will rise up to slaughter us." "New York may well be destroyed." "By their own admission, the advocates of separation say foreign assistance will be necessary." "At what cost?" "Let us imagine a war without victors." "And the guns all silent." "Many would have bled and sacrificed only to have exchanged the light yoke of GB for the heavy dominion of an alien power." "Some have argued that America will become one great commonwealth." "But what is to keep 13 unwieldy colonies from splitting asunder?" "I have a strong impression in my mind that this will take place." "Oh, gentlemen." "To escape the protection of GB by declaring independance unprepared as we are" "would be to brave the storm in a skiff made of paper." "As I recognize is Mr Adams, Massachussetts." "Objects of the most stupendous magnitude." "Measures which will affect the lives of millions, born and unborn" "are now before us." "We must expect a great expense of blood to obtain them" "but we must always remember that a free constitution of civil government" "cannot be purchased a too dear a rate as there is nothing on this side of Jerusalem, of greater importance to mankind." "My worthy colleague from Pennsylvania has spoken with great ingenuity and eloquence." "He's given you a grim prognostication of our national future, but where he foresees apocalypse" "I see hope." "I see a new nation ready to take its place in the world." "Not an empire, but a republic." "And a republic of laws, not men." "Gentlemen, we are in the very midst of revolution." "The most complete unexpected and remarkable of any in the history of the world." "How few of the human race have ever had an opportunity of choosing a system of government for themselves, and their children." "I am not without apprehensions, gentlemen." "But the end that we have in sight is more than worth all the means." "My belief says that the hour has come." "My judgement approves this measure and my whole heart is in it." "All that I have, all that I am and all that I hope in this life," "I am now ready to stake upon it." "While I'll live, let me have a country." "A free... country." "Idle misspend of time." "Waste of breathe." "I said nothing but what have been repeated and hackneyed in that room before." "Hundred times past these 6 months." "On the contrary, Mr Adams." "You seemed quite carried out of yourself." "Majority is ours, cousin." "9 to 4 in favor." "It must be unanimous." " Where the devil is our friend Rodney?" " Gone back to Wilmington." "Trouble with the Tories, there." "We will never win Delaware without him." "Mr Rodney must be found and fetched back here, Mr McCain." "Leave it to me." "Mr Adams." "A word with you, if I may?" "Private word." "South Carolina would be willing to consider casting her vote with the majority." "You surprise me, sir." "We know which way the wind blows, Mr Adams." "South Carolina has never been opposed to the principle of separation from Britain." " Only the haste to achieve it." " The times call for action, sir." "We southerners are accustomed to more courtly form." "You have something to ask in return." "Only your assurance that there will be no dissent from the other colonies." "Forgive me..." "States." "You have it, sir." "Gentlemen can always reach agreement." "Admiral Howe has anchored a 150 ships in view of Manhattan Island." "You ask me to consent to our own destruction." "Thirteen stand a greater chance than one." "We do not ask you to join us." "Only that you do not obstruct us." "NY would be willing to consider such an arrangement." "If you can deliver Pennsylvania." "Consider this, Mr Dickinson, that 2 of Pennsylvania's own delegates, myself being one of them, rose up today in opposition to you." "I will not compromise my beliefs." "A man of your reputation and honesty." "He should never compromise his beliefs, sir." "I thank you for that, Mr Adams." "Understand me, sir." "Likely you're right, and we shall be driven to independance." "But now, it's not the time for some dangerous and irrevocable action." "I cannot lend my voice to hasten our ruin." "Perhaps if you're to find yourself, somehow, indisposed tomorrow?" "Be still." "My brave girl." "Come no further." "Mabby, have a lion." "Thank you, Charles." "Bed!" "Bed!" "Cool?" "Look!" "What Charles gave you." "*This panel* now comes to a vote." "From a resolution proposed by Mr Lee." "These colonies are and of right ought to be free and independant states." "And that all political connection between them and the country of GB is and of the right ought to be" "totally dissolved." "New Hampshire?" "New Hampshire votes yes." "Rhode Island?" "Rhode Island votes yes." "Massachusetts?" "Massachusetts votes yes." "New York?" "New York has yet to receive new instructions from its constituent assembly." "We, therefore, respectfully abstain." "Connecticut?" "Connecticut votes yes." "New Jersey?" "New Jersey votes yes." "Pennsylvania?" "Pennsylvania votes yes." "Delaware?" "Delaware votes yes." "Virginia?" "Virginia votes yes." "Maryland?" "Maryland votes yes." "North Carolina?" "North Carolina votes yes." "South Carolina?" "South Carolina votes yes." "Georgia?" "Georgia votes yes." "Vote stands." "12 for independence." "None against." "One abstention." "Resolution carries." "When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the polical bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth to the separate and equal station to" "to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them" "A decent respect of the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation" "We hold these truths to be self-evident." "that all men are created equal that they are endowed by their creator with certain un... what's that word there?" "unalienable." "with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." "That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is in the right of the people to alter or abolish it and to institute new government." "The history of the present king of GB is a history of repeated injuries, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states." "In every stage of this oppression, we have petitionned for redress in the most humble terms." "Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury, a prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of the free people." "We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America solemnly publish and declare that these united colonies are and of right ought to be free and independent states that they're absolved from all allegiance to the British crown." "And for the support of this declaration with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives our fortunes and our sacred honor." "Bless you." "God save our American states." "God save our American states." "My dearest friend, the break is made." "Now our work begins." "You will think me transported with enthusiasm but I'm not." "It is the will of Heaven that Britain and America should be scinded forever." "It may be the will of Heaven that America shall suffer calamities still more wasting and distresses yet more dreadful." "I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure that it will cost us to maintain this declaration and support and defend these states." "Yet, through all the gloom, I can see the raise of ravishing light and glory." "I can see that posterity will triumph... in that day's transaction." "I expect we shall have over 40 bushels of meal when the corn is ground." "You are like to outshine all farmers." "I thought I had lost you..." "When the news came that the British had taken Philadelphia." "You realize, John, it's been 14 years since we were married." "14 years." "Not more than half of that time have we had the joy of living together." "But you are here now." "And you are safe." "( Theme music playing )" "Abigail." "You are not staying." "Where is the Congress to meet?" "In York, to the west of the city." "But it is not to the Congress that I must go." "This war will not be won" "Without French money and French ships." "That... is Dr. Franklin's affair." "He is the commissioner to France." "There are some concerns." " About Dr. Franklin's aide." " No." " Congress is asking" " No, John." "I told them that I would not go." "No." "No." "It was my intention to return to the bar." "That I cannot support my family, my children" "You cannot ask this of me." " But they would not accept my request." " You cannot." "I am needed in Paris." "You are needed here, John." "Your children..." "Require your example." "I need you here." "Are you to add more years" "To those we have already spent apart?" "How can you give me back that time?" "How can you compensate to me" "All of those years I cannot get back?" "Do not rob me" "Of my happiness." "That is not my wish." "Abigail..." "You must know that." "Can you tell me how long, John?" "How long this time?" "Tell me that." "I cannot." "There is a cost to love, John." "Absence..." "And distance." "When do you leave?" "I'm not going to leave." "Let another have the honor." " There is no other, John." " No." "If I were a man, I would be in the field of action." "There all honor lies." "When you go, you will take Johnny with you." "That is 3,000 miles, Abigail..." "In winter." "I am sensible to the dangers, John." "You need not remind me." "We could be taken by the British." "That is madness." "My thousand fears notwithstanding, he shall go." "How many times have I heard you complain" "About the narrowness of New England men?" "Would you deny him the opportunity you never had?" "Nabby." "Nabby." "Are you leaving now?" "We are." "But I will take with me..." "A picture of a remarkable young lady." "And what must you always remember to do?" "Be good and do good." "Yeah." "Nabby, my girl." "Easy now." "Steady." "Nabby." "Darling, come come." "Don't be silly." "Nabby." "Charles?" "You said you would stay this time." "I go because I love you." "But why does Johnny get to go and not us?" "One day perhaps."

"All this fuss is really quite silly." "I'm perfectly capable of brushing out my own hair." "Protest if you will, my dear." "The question is whether it is possible for a lady," "Or even a charming and exceptional man," "Once they have become accustomed to the manners of Europe," "Not to have their little heads turned by them." "Well, if I am to have a litany of all my faults," "Then perhaps we should just have it out" "And be done with it." "John." "John." "Petulant John." "Exceptional John." " Sleepy John?" " Mmm." "I would not change a single thing about you." "Good thing for you!" "Man:" "le Dr. Franklin, messieurs," "Et la comtesse ligniville d'autricourt." "I have something very important to deliver." "When I can find it I will know where it is." "Excellent, excellent." "Madame." "My stones!" "Ahem." "Oh, pardon me, Mrs. Adams." "It is Mrs. Adams, is it not?" "It is of course, doctor, yes." "Oh, an honor." "Madam, I shall rise" "To apologize for not getting up." "Dr. Franklin." "May I present the comtesse ligniville d'autricourt," "Madame Helvetius?" " Madame." " Madame." "Franklin asks me to marry him many times." "Has he indeed?" "An inconvenience to Mrs. Franklin, surely." "It is quite tiresome." "I tell him we are too old for romance." "Found it!" "From Philadelphia." "Merci." "The Congress has seen fit to appoint me minister" "To the court of St. James." "I am expected to appear in london" "No later than King George's birthday." "Bravo!" "Ambassador Adams, may you be the first of many." "Mrs. Ambassador." "We have had our disagreements." "But you have always been an honest collaborator." "I can think of no better choice" "To represent the United States" "In great Britain than yourself." "The English love an insult." "It's their only test of a man's sincerity." "Ah." "Ahh! My own days abroad are at a close," "But Mr. Jefferson will replace me" "Here quite well, I'm sure." "I merely succeed you, Dr. Franklin." "No one can replace you." "Well, I fear none of us will taste the bread of idleness." "There is talk of a convention in Philadelphia." "They are to discuss" "A binding constitution." "I hope to attend, if only to have an effect" "On the style of its prose." "I expect that any constitutional document" "That emerges from a" "Will be as compromised as our declaration of independency." "I am increasingly persuaded" "That the earth belongs exclusively to the living" "And that one generation has no more right" "To bind another to its laws and judgments" "Than one independent nation has the right to command another." "But surely the Constitution," "As it did with the ones we wrote for our own states," "Is meant to establish the stability" "And the long-term legality" "Essential to the continuation of a civilized society." "Yes, possibly." "But I fear it could prove a breach" "In the integrity of our revolutionary ideals" "Through which will pour the forces of reaction." "Doctor, Mr. Jefferson's pet topic" "Is not the artful arrangement of political power," "But the cordoning off of a space" "In which no power exists at all." "You, sir, you are a walking contradiction." " We're all contradictions, Mr. Adams." " Indeed yes." "And what is government ultimately" "But the putting into effect of the lessons" "Which we have learned in dealing with" "The contradictions in our own characters?" "You have a disconcerting lack of faith" "In your fellow man, Mr. A," "And in yourself, if I may say." "Yes, and you display a dangerous excess" "Of faith in your fellow man, Mr. Jefferson." "Well, I'm sure we'll all disagree a great deal." "Our country is founded on the right to disagree." "Still, we must prevail," "If only to prove Mr. Dickinson wrong" "That we will not tear ourselves asunder" "After the defeat of our common enemy." "We've come too far to be undone by petty rivalries." "Franklin: hmm." "It is no small thing" "To build a new world, gentlemen." "We have our republic." "We must endeavor to keep it if we can." "It will never fly." "It has flown, John, many times." "No, it's pulled up and down, up and down on a rope." "Let's see what happens when the rope is released." "Your husband's admirable caution" "Sometimes blinds him" "To unanticipated possibilities, Mrs. Adams." "This is one of them." "Yes yes, the possibility that it will never fly." "I should be very sad, John," "If your experience of Paris has left you so unchanged." "I'm consoled only by the thought that one never really knows" "How much one has been touched by a place until one has left it." "Well, I shall certainly miss your company, Thomas." "And I shall miss yours, Mrs. Adams." "London is not so very far away, Mr. Jefferson," "In the unlikely event you tire of Paris." "I believe it shall tire of me first." "Well, I stand corrected." "So our umbilical cord to mother earth" "Has been severed for the first time in history." "Mankind floats upon a limitless plane of air." "Hmm." "Hot air." "Lord carmarthen, the foreign minister," "Will make the official introduction to his majesty." "And upon being ushered into the royal presence chamber," "You will make three reverences," "Like so:" "One on entering..." "A second halfway to his majesty..." "And a third as you come before the royal presence." "Well, if you would, Mr. Adams." "Please." "Well, uh..." "One." "Lower, sir." "Two." "Truly lower, Mr. Adams." "An improper reverence has been the undoing" "Of many a foreign ambassador." "Avert your eyes, sir," "Until you come before the royal presence." "Yes." "May I also suggest that perhaps a change of attire" "Would not be unwarranted, sir?" "What would you suggest, sir?" "Possibly something a little more English." "Mr. John Adams." "The United States of America" "The United States of America" "Have appointed me minister plenipotentiary" "To your majesty." "I think myself more fortunate" "Than all of my fellow citizens" "In having the" "The distinguishing honor" "To be the first to stand in your majesty's presence" "In a diplomatic character." "I shall esteem myself" "The happiest of men" "If I can be instrumental in restoring" "The confidence and affection..." "Or in better words, the good old nature" "And the good old humor" "Between peoples who," "Though separated by an ocean" "And under different governments," "Have the same language, the same religion..." "And kindred blood." "I beg your majesty's permission to add" "That though I had been before" "Entrusted by my country..." "It was never in my whole life" "In a manner more agreeable to myself." "The circumstances of this audience are so extraordinary." "The language you have now held" "Is so extremely proper" "And the feelings you have" "Discovered" "So justly adapted to the occasion," "That I not only receive with pleasure" "The assurance of the friendly disposition" "Of the United States..." "But that I am very glad" "That the choice has fallen on you" "To be their minister." "I will be very frank with you." "I was the last to consent to separation." "But the separation having been made" "And having become inevitable," "I have always said as I say now," "That I would be the first to meet the friendship" "Of the United States" "As an independent power." "Thank you, your majesty." "There is an opinion among some people, Mr. Adams," "That you are not the most attached of all your countrymen" "To the manners of France." "Yes, well, I avow to your majesty" "That I have no attachment" "To any country but my own." "An honest man will never have any other." "King George:" "I pray, Mr. Adams," "That the United States does not suffer unduly" "From its want of a monarchy." "Yes, we will strive to answer those prayers," "Your majesty." "Ah, "an ambassador from America." "Good heavens, what a sound."" "Why, they call me a vain imposter" "And a pharisee of liberty." "Idiotic phrase." ""The morning post and daily advertiser."" "Ah, they very helpfully inform their readers..." "That I was "so pitifully embarrassed" "As to be very nearly tongue-tied."" "You must pay them no mind, sir." "They accuse me of vanity." "They always accuse me of vanity." "There are many different kinds" "Of vanity in this world." "But there is also the vanity that comes" "From years spent in the service" "Of other men." "And of that I am most certainly guilty." "Guilty as charged." "To deny that would be sheer hypocrisy." "Here is someone calling for me" "To be hanged!" "Colonel Smith, remove these papers at once." "God, what a country!" "Charming!" "I am sorry, John." "Are you unwell?" "Do you remember the old vassall-Borland estate" "Near our farm?" "Uh, yeah." "Rather a grand place, I recall." "It has become available." "House, farm buildings-- 80 acres for £600." "What has brought this on?" "My body is in one place, my soul is in another." "Besides, I am worried about the children." "They are adults now, John." "They have been without us for too long." " And I'm tired of this weary place." " Mm-hmm." "There is no pleasure mixing company where no one cares for you." "You care for no one." "I too feel adrift." "I missed the constitutional convention." "They are to elect a new federal government," "And here am I, 3,000 miles away." "I will write to the Congress and demand" "My immediate recall." "I hold this post to be so inconsistent with my honor and dignity" "I can no longer endure it." "I'm finished with pomp and ceremony" "And bowing and scraping and wigs" "And all other affectations." "I'm finished with it." "Will they grant it?" "I hope so." "Make ready!" "Present!" "Fire!" "Father?" "Charles!" "Good heavens, you-- You look fine, sir." "I trust you had a peaceful journey, sir." "John: oh, yes yes." " Father, this is Thomas." " Of course." "Thomas." "My boy, my goodness." "Well, you've grown into a man, yeah?" " It's been a long time, father." " Yes indeed." "Yes indeed." " Welcome home." " John Quincy!" " Father." " Good!" "Yeah!" "Abigail: my boys." "My boys." "Welcome home, father." "Abigail:" "I feared that you my boys." "Would not know me." "Nonsense." "On the contrary." "No, I am amazed." "Mother." "Colonel William Smith, who has been my private secretary," "My sons, my daughter Nabby." "Colonel Smith." "Abigail, shall we?" "Come." "Nabby." "Charles, Thomas, follow in the next carriage, yes?" "Boy:" "God bless Mr. Adams." "Thank you!" "Thank you." "It is too early for you to speak of retirement." "I have been rollin like a stone for 30 years," "Never three years in the same place." "No, sir." "I intend to lay fast to my farm," "Here to live, here to die," "Here to lay my bones." "Time has already taken too many of '76." "The new government has my best wishes" "And most fervent prayers for its success." "The Constitution was not ratified without some difficulty." "We need men who will unite us." "Our first election is imminent." "Speculation on your future" "Has been overflowing." "Your name has been mentioned for governor," "Senator, chief justice of the supreme court," "Vice president," "Even president of these states united." "Surely Washington, is the logical choice." "You would not object if I were to put your name forward?" "You were not meant to sit" "In the shade of life..." "Neither one of you." "If that is what you wish" "It must at least be vice president." "Anything less would be beneath you." "John: to Peacefield," "In honor of our lasting peace with great Britain." "All: peefield." "I could hardly ask your mother to return" "To the wren's house of your childhood." "Of course not, not after the palaces of Europe!" "I have heard disturbing reports" "Of your behavior at harvard, Charles" "Drunkenness and disorderly conduct." "It was only a lark, father," "A momentary effusion of too much good cheer." "I daresay I am neither the first person nor the last" "To appear naked in harvard yard." "Well, I daresay..." "Do not let your companions" "Or your amusements get the better of you, sir." "A scholar is always made alone" "And sober." "Studies can be pursued to good purpose" "Only by yourself." "Your example is always before me, father." "Following your graduations," "I will see to it" "That you are placed as apprentices to the most prominent lawyers." "Thank you, father." "Johnny, how goes" "Your clerkship with lawyer parsons?" "It's a far cry from the excitement of St. Petersburg." "I'm sure." "And your courtship of mary frazier, is that not exciting?" "How long have you..." "Pursued this courtship?" "I have known mary for a year now." "A year?" "John Quincy: she is a lovely girl." "She is intelligent" "And well-spoken." "I find her to be delightful company." "Nothing so like perfection in human shape" "Has been seen since the world began." "May I inquire as to the age of the young lady?" "She is 15, mother." "I will speak frankly with you, John." "You're too young, you're too unestablished" "To form any sort of romantic attachment whatsoever." "To excel in the field of the law," "Let alone become a man of position and prominence," "You must work more hours than exist in the day" "And more days than exist in the week." " I am well aware of the commit" " You are not!" "Now, I indulge you more than your brothers," "And there's a reason for that." "Because you have a strong mind" "And you have the temperament to succeed" "At whatever you set that mind to do." "You've traveled the world, man." "You could achieve distinction." "But you have only to apply yourself." "Now I am willing to s you up" "In your own practice as of tomorrow" "With an annual stipend of £100." "But you must cut off this romantic attachment immediately." "I will need some time to consider your offer." "No!" "You will decide now." "Very well, as you wish." "Good boy." "Excellent." "You're smiling, miss Adams." "Do I not have reason to be happy, Colonel Smith?" "Our family is so rarely together." "Your brothers seem to be men of good spirit," "Charles especially." "My brother Charles can be rather incorrigible." "He can be as headstrong as father." "Mr. Adams has the vitality of a much younger man." "Some days it's all I can do to keep up with him." "Father says you commanded a regiment of our army." "Yes, I had the honor to serve under general Washington," "At long island." "Perhaps you will allow me to divert you" "With stories from the campaign," "If you would not find them too dull." "That depends on the telling, does it not, Colonel Smith? Abigail." "Here's a fine culmination to all my years of service" "Fewer than half the votes of the electoral college." "General Washington, is unanimously acclaimed" "President with 69 votes," "Whereas I apparently am scorned by all but 34 of the electors." "John, there are two, four, six, eight, 10 other names here." "You have more votes than all of them put together." " And John jay comes in third with nine." " Nonetheless, I consider" "I consider such a showing a stain upon my character." " John!" " I will not and I cannot accept it." "John..." "You are vice president now." "Vice president." "I am vice president now, hmm?" "Mr. Vice President." " Mrs. Vice President." " Vice President Adams." "Mr. Vice President!" "Unaccustomed to refuse any public service," "However dangerous to my reputation" "Or disproportionate to my talents..." "It would have been inconsistent" "To have adopted a different maxim of conduct" "At this time." "And yet-- And yet," "I feel a great difficulty" "As to how to act." "I am vice president, yes." "And in this I am nothing." "But I may be everything." "Ah." "Well, general, uh..." "Uh, you are-- You are here." "I am, Mr. Adams." "Um..." "Yes." "Um," "Yes, we, uh, we are" "Ready to administer the oath of office, sir." "I am at your service." "Boy: thank you, sir." "General, if you will please" "Place your left hand on the bible" "And raise your right hand." "Repeat after me." "I, George Washington, do solemnly swear..." "I, George Washington, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute" "The office of President of the United States that I will faithfully execute" "The office of President" "Of the United States and will, to the best of my ability and will, to the best of my ability preserve protect, and defend preserve protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States!" "...the Constitution of the United States..." "So help me, God." "It is done." "God bless George Washington," "President of the United States! A fine day." "A fine day." "Mere president will not do." "There are presidents of fire companies" "And cricket clubs." "And the titles this newof federal officent must ensure that respect." "How long does Mr. Adams intend to waste this assembly's time" "On matters of no import?" "No import?" "No imp" "There is nothing of greater importance, Mr. Macclay." "The office of president" "Must have no equal in the world." "Neither dignity nor authority" "Can be supported in human minds" "Without the weight" "Of splendor and majesty, sir." "Does the vice president have a title in mind?" "I do indeed, sir." "I have several." "His highness the president." "Or his esteemed majesty the president." "Or his excellency" "The supreme commander in chief." "Or something of the sort." "Ahem!" "Perhaps Mr. Adams has not had occasion" "To peruse our Constitution." "It explicitly states," ""No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States."" "These are not titles of heredity that I am proposing..." "But titles conferred for merit" "And titles that will only accompany" "Positions of high federal responsibility." "Indeed." "Federal." "Man: ridiculous." "The motion before us is that the president" "Be addressed as his highness" "The president of the United States of America" "And protector of the rights of the same." "Those in favor?" "Aye." " Those opposed?" " No!" " No!" " No!" "His rotundity" "The vice president and duke of braintree." " ( Laughing )" " I'd second that, indeed." "His rotundity." "The duke of braintree." "You should have consulted the president first." "All this talk of titles." "What is the job of the vice president" "If not to advise the president?" "When the president requires your advice, John," "He will most surely ask for it." "Patience." "I was merely trying to impress upon the Senate" "The importance of cloaking the presidency" "In the mantel of authority." "Now I have seen what the future holds, Abigail." "Men and manners, principles, opinions" "They've altered very much in this country." "Authority is our only protection" "Against discord, civil war and sedition." "Now the office of the president, no doubt," "Is sufficient to establish such authority." "But we must not be surprised" "If we ever find we need a monarch" " To keep us from coming asunder!" " You would do well" "To keep your thoughts to yourself, John." "People will say that your mind" "Has been tainted by foreign courts." "They are already saying such things in Boston." "A man cannot go to Europe" "Without being tainted," "As you well know." "As I was sent there on the people's business," "If some taint has stuck to me," "Perhaps the people ought to pay me for the damages." "Where are you going?" "We'll finish this conversation when you regain your senses." "I, uh..." "I was not aware that I had lost them." "Well, you have." "Hold a moment, hold." "I shall endeavor to be more patient..." "And I will look to you" "To correct me if I do not." "I am sorry that I was not here earlier, John." "But I cannot be with you always." "We cannot get by on your salary." "$5,000 a years" "Is hardly worthy of such an office." "The farm brings us an income and someone must tend to it." "Then we will find a tenant." "There are none to be had." "Then leave the place" "To the birds of the air and the beasts of the field." "I need my ballast." "You need to mind your tongue." "Nothing more." "Not that you will listen to me." "Stay" "And you shall see me reformed." "I will stay with you" "Until Congress adjourns." "You must find Philadelphia much changed, Mr. Jefferson." "More changed than I could have imagined, Mr. Hamilton." "Not the city itself." "All cities swallow everything in their way." "That's no surprise to me." "That's why I abhor them." "But ve been, as you know, in revolutionary France," "Where the streets are filled" "With the songs of liberty and brotherhood" "And the overthrow of our ancient tyrannies of Europe." "And to return from there to this," "Our cradle of revolution and find the dinner table chatter" "Is all of money and banks" "And authority is an unwelcome surprise." "Unwelcome perhaps, but necessary." "I must admit, Mr. Hamilton," "I am a little uncertain" "As to the purpose of the treasury department." "No doubt its function will reveal itself to me in good time." "The future prosperity of this nation" "Rests chiey in trade." "Trade depends, among other things," "On the willingness of other nations to lend us money." "And how would you propose to establish international credit?" "Our first step would be to incur a national debt." "The greater the debt, the greater the credit." "And to that end I have recommended to the president" "That Congress adopt all the debts" "Incurred by the individual states during the war" "Through a national bank." "The idea being" "That if the states owe Congress money," "Then other nations will feel more inclined to lend it to us." "If the states are indebted to a central authority," "It increases the power of the central government." "There you have it exactly." "The greater the government's responsibility," "The greater its authority." "The moneyed interest in this country" "Is all in the north," "So the wealth and power would inevitably be concentrated there" "In a federal government..." "To the expense of the south." "If that is the case," "It is unavoidable if the union" "Is to be preserved." "I fear our revolution will have been in vain" "If a virginia farmer is to be held in hock" "To a New York stockjobber" "Who in turn is in hock to a london banker." "The opportunities for avarice" "And corruption would" "Certainly prove irresistible." "There you have it." "As I have heard said," ""If men were angels then no government would be necessary."" "Sadly that is very well said." "But there can be no question," "Our nation cannot bind together" "Without powerful central government." "But we must also accommodate" "The needs of our constituent states," "Both north and south." "The power of one must check and balance the other." "And to that end we must dedicate" "All of our energies, and our care." "Washington:" "I would like to" "Welcome Mr. Jefferson home." "Mr. Secretary of state." "Hear, hear." "Mr. President, gentlemen." "There are Cabinet members that I would like to discuss." "If you would excuse us, Mr. Adams." "Please convey my regards to your wife." "Gentlemen." "John." "Mr. President." "Mr. President and nothing more." "Macclay: the president must not be allowed" "To remove Cabinet officers on whatever whim." " Hear, hear." " The Senate must advise and consent" "To their removal the same as to their appointment." "Pinckney:" "Mr. Macclay's bill is an affront" "To the authority of the executive branch." " Hear, hear." " It seeks nothing less" "Than to indenture the president to this body's will." " Hear, hear!" " John:" "Mr. Pinckney," "The British parliamentary model may benstructive here." "The Senate would no doubt benefit from the vice president's" "Learning and erudition on the subject," "But I respectfully remind him" "That barring a tie in voting, he has no say in the matter." "I am in no need of reminders, Mr. Macclay." "I concur with Mr. Macclay's opinion." "The president must not have unlimited authority in Cabinet matters." "Men: hear, hear." "The role of vice president" "Is the most insignificant office ever devised" "By the mind of man." "No, I assure you it is punishment" "To hear other men talk five hours a day" "And not be at liberty to talk myself." "Me of all people." "A torture for you, to be sure." "Most of those I hear, they're too young." "They're too inexperienced." "They're too fractious." "I was of a mind to refuse the vice presidency entirely, you know." "And half the electoral college were determined to oblige me." "There are rumors." "What rumors?" "Some say intrigue was used." "To what possible purpose?" "Many were urged to withhold their votes for you." "It was deemed an essential point of caution" "To see that your showing not embarrass General Washington." "That he be elected unanimously." "Who is the author of this dirty scheme?" "No one can say for certain." "Good God." "To be used in such a despicable manner." "I am sorry to be the one" "No no, Dr. Rush." "I thank you for your frankness." "And thus we set an example for the world." "Tales of dirty and duplicitous intrigues in our first election." "I hear that we are called Federalists now" "Because we believe in strong central government." "And our opponents" "Now style themselves republicans" "Because they believe in the sovereignty of the people." "Ha!" "I dread a division of our republic" "Into parties, doctor." "Yet that is what I see is happening." "It is in a state of almost permanent revolution, monticello." "No sooner have I completed it" "Than I wish to tear it down and start again." "I want to build a new portico." "Triangular pediment" "On four great pillars." " Is it not magnificent, John?" " Yes." "Very nice." "But it is not to be as yet." "When duty calls..." "We feared for your safety in Paris, Thomas." "The papers are still full of the most alarming reports." "Yes, a bastille commander's head" "Carried through the streets on a pike." "One officer hanged from a lamppost," "Another one cut to pieces, his heart torn from his body" "And brandished out the window of the hotel de ville." "You cannot expect a people so long oppressed" "To be transported from despotism" "To liberty on a feather bed." "I believe the violence will end soon enough," "As it has here." "But should everything be pulled down," "What shall be put in its place?" "Given the entrenched divisions within French society" "Which you witnessed," "I believe the most we can achieve" "Is a monarchy limited in its power to act" "By a parliament on the British model." "That is what I told the marquis de lafayette." "Do you mean to say that you involved yourself" "In revolutionary activities" "As our acting ambassador?" "Lafayette sought my advice" "On the drafting of a declaration of the rights of man" "And I was happy to oblige, yes." "I was in the assembly nationale when it was proclaimed." "In fact, you could say the constitution of France" "Was conceived in my parlor." "These are dangerous grounds, Thomas." "The French court was well aware of my involvement." "They thought that I would be a moderating influence" "On the more hot-headed members of the assembly." "They seek only to emulate our experience, John." "We must support them." "I am not as sanguine as you" "About the prospects in France." "Should King Louis and his advisors" "Not deliver these promised reforms," "Well then this violence will only escalate." "The king himself could become a victim of it" "And England and spain will rightfully fear" "The spread of revolution across Europe." "They will be forced to declare war" "To protect their monarchies." "Our treaty with France will draw us" "Into a conflict that we can ill afford." "France is in the throes of a violent birth." "We should rejoice." "We should rejoice, John." "And is that the advice you are giving the president?" "We should rejoice?" "When the president seeks my counsel," "I give him what advice I can." "It's not always welcomed by the Cabinet." "I would know nothing about that." " No." " No." "I trust you will find President Washington" "Is as independent-minded as ever." "He has too much power, as I feared," "And the Congress has too little." "He is a monarch in all but name." "Chief magistrate, once in power, rarely leaves it willingly." "I am no believer in monarchy as such," "As you well know." "But I have seen the result of too many mobs" "To entrust them with the government, sir." "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time" "With the blood of patriots and tyrants." "It is a natural manure." "You must be careful, John." "I find him much changed." "John: add the usual salutation." ""Your humble servant-- Et cetera, et cetera."" "Yes, sir." "Thank you, Colonel Smith." "That's all for now." "Perhaps I may indulge your patience" "With a personal request, sir?" "A matter I've been meaning" "To broach with you for some time now." "An increase in your meager salary" "Is quite out of the question, colonel." "I'm sorry." "It's not that, sir." "Though I am without fame or fortune," "Such as I am," "I aspire to your daughter's love." "I beg your pardon." "My dau" "What was that about my daughter?" "You mean to say" "You vetoed Colonel Smith's proposal?" "I did." "Nabby is a child." "Your child, had you not noticed, is a young woman" "Of great sensibility." "Far too much sensibility, I think." "Her mother had too much sensibility at her age to be very prudent." " Far too much." " And it won her a heart" "Of as much sensibility as hers." "Nabby is content with the match." "We should be as well." "Hamilton:" "Mr. Jefferson stands at the head of a faction," "In my judgment, subversive to the principles of good government" "And dangerous to the peace, union and happiness of this country." "Jefferson: any such faction if it exists, Mr. Hamilton," "Is grossly underrepresented in this Cabinet" "Which persists in its determination" "To replace colonial subjugation" "By great Britain" "With equally pernicious financial subjugation" "Washington: enough, Mr. Jefferson." "Enough." "You will hereafter show more charity" "For each other's opinions and" " Mr. Jefferson!" "I will not have this government undermined" "By party politics and acts!" "John." "Thomas." "Mr. Hamilton." "Well, I am very sorry" "To intrude upon your affairs." "I only came to say that I am leaving for Peacefield in the morning," "What with the yellow fever season approaching" "And my daughter is to be married." "I believe that you know the groom" " Colonel William Smith." "Colonel Smith was under my command at long island." "He served with great distinction." "I congratulate you" "On such a fitting match for your daughter." "Thank you, sir." "Yes, well, good day." " Mr. Adams." " Yes?" "Will you not join me at table?" "I have need of more..." "Reasonable company." "This uprising in France" "Places us in a difficult position." "We cannot trade with Britain" "And support her enemy at the same time." "Surely this is a matter" "On which the secretary of state and the secretary of the treasury" "Should offer counsel." "Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Hamilton" "Can agree on nothing." "I fear that we will be" "Drawn into the perpetual European conflict." "I would advise neutrality, sir." "Avoid any hostilities or any show of support." "America must be beholden to no one."

"Anxiously I inquire," "The less I seem to know." "( Groans )" "( Footsteps approaching )" "Is there anyone else you wish me to notify?" "There are so few left alive" "Who know either of us." "What about Mr. Jefferson?" "Surely, he will wish to share your sorrow." "If I should receive a letter from him..." "I would not fail to answer it." "Perhaps if you were to write yourself..." "The man did me and my reputation great insult." "He honored and salaried" "Every villain he could find who was my enemy." "Well..." "That is why it is you" "Who must show the magnanimity" "Of great minds." "I always considered you and him..." "The north and the south poles of our revolution." "Some talked, some wrote and some fought to promote" "And establish it, but..." "You and Mr. Jefferson..." "Thought for us all." "John's voice: "my dear friend," "One trouble never comes alone." "And at our ages," "We may expect more and more of them" "Every day in groups," "And every day less fortitude to bear them." "In the years since our parting," "I have lost my daughter." "Now..." "My dear wife of 54 years" "Has been taken away from me." "And she goes to a country where there will be no war," "Nor envy, nor jealousy," "Nor rivalry or party." "I am, sir," "Your afflicted friend:" "John Adams."" "Jefferson's voice:" ""monticello, april the sixth, 1819." "My dear friend," "Tried myself in the school of human affliction," "I know well and feel what you have lost," "What you have suffered, are suffering" "And have yet to endure." "These same trials have taught me" "That for ills so immeasurable," "Time and silence are the only medicines." "It is of some comfort to us both" "That the term is not very distant" "At which we are to deposit our sorrows" "And suffering bodies," "And to ascend to an ecstatic meeting" "With the friends we have loved and lost..." "And whom we shall still love" "And never lose again." "God support you under your heavy affliction." "Your friend, Thomas Jefferson."" "John's voice: "you and I have passed our lives in serious times" "And we have suffered ourselves" "To be the passive subjects of public discussion," "And reaped animosity and bitterness." "I am fixed in my opinions" "And too old to change them," "But you and I ought not to die" "Before we have explained ourselves to each other."" "Jefferson's voice: "as long as there is government," "There will be differences of opinion." "Everyone takes a side" "In favor of the many or the few." "Nothing new coul added by you or me" "To what has been said by others" "And will be said in every age."" "John's voice: "whether you or I were right," "Posterity must judge." "Yet, I ask of you," "Who shall write the history of our revolution?" "Who can write it?"" "Jefferson's voice: "you ask who shall write the history" "Of our revolution." "Nobody," "Except merely its external facts." "I prefer to look back on those days" "When Massachusetts and virginia" "Lived and acted in perfect harmony."" ""Monticello," "February 20th, 1825." "Jefferson's voice: "my dear friend," "I sincerely congratulate you on the high gratification" "Which the issue of the late election..."" "John Quincy: "...must have afforded you." "It must excite ineffable feelings" "In the breast of a father" "To have lived to see a son..."" "Continue." "My dear, would you mind?" "Louisa: "it must excite ineffable feelings" "In the breast of a father" "To have lived to see a son," "To whose education and happiness his life has been devoted," "So eminently distinguished" "By the voice of his country."" "John: yes indeed." "Yes indeed." "Although, no man who ever held the office of president" "Would congratulate a friend, to say nothing of his son," "On obtaining it." ""Nights of rest to you and days of tranquility" "Are the wishes I tender you with my affectionate respects." "Thomas Jefferson."" "Well well well well." "None of the letters I have received from my friend in monticello..." "Have ever meant as much to me as that one." "Mr. Jefferson knows my heart" "As well as any man living." "He writes the truth, you know." "That boy over there has made me" "The proudest father in America." "To President John Quincy Adams," "The sixth president of these United States," "And to President John Adams" "On his 90th birthday." "May we all hope to achieve such longevity." "Hear, hear." "Hear, hear." " You do not drink, Mr. Adams." " I do not care to be reminded" "That I am an old dotard." "Well, neither do we, sir." "( Grunts )" "Congress has grown indolent and palsied" "Before their constituents" "So I intend to take a strong lead." " Father?" " Hmm?" "Are you listening?" "Ah." "Yeah." "Go on." "In my state of the union address," "I intend to propose a strengthening" "Of the federal government." "We need to raise taxes." "This country's in dire need of some decent roads," "Canals..." " A national university, - ( Grunting )" " A department of the interior, - ( Laughs )" "A national currency." "They will call you a monarchist" ""King Adams ii."" "You move too fast." "There is no time to waste." "Ah." "You should look to your wife" "For the guidance that you seek, not me." "Your mother was always my most faithful advisor..." "And the wisest." "Trumbull:" "Congress have commissioned me" "To commemorate the 50th anniversary" "Of the birth of our proud republic." "My humble rendition" "Of this momentous scene" "For what could have been more momentous" "In the history of our young nation" "Than the signing of the "declaration of independence"" "Will hang in the rotunda of the capitol." "I offer to you now for your delectation" "And, may I dare to hope," "Your approval." "( Sighs )" "All dead." "Sir?" "All dead..." "The whole lot of them," "Except for me and Jefferson." "Yes, sir." "Does the painting do you justice?" "Mmm. ( Clears throat )" "A shin piece." " Trumbull:" "I beg your pardon?" " A shin piece, sir." "It's all" " All legs and ankles." "( Chuckles )" "You know, I-- I am informed" "That one of the greatest talents of a painter" "Is the capability to comprehend a large space." "Herr Rubens, whose canvases" "I always paused to admire" "When I was staying in Holland, was a master of this." "You, Mr. Trumbull," "Are no Rubens." "Well, I do not claim to be a Rubens, sir." "I would, however, remind you that" "Herr Rubens never painted" "Such a uniquely American subject." "As to the painting's singularity" "I can offer no opinion." "But I will say this" "It is very bad history." "The likenesses have been very carefully researched" "No scene such as you depict here" "Ever took place." "There was not one moment or one day" "When all the delegates from the Congress gathered" "To record their signatures." "This is a matter of detail." "May I remind you, sir," "That we were already at war?" "Now, contrary to your tranquil scene," "Your subjects were scurrying" "In and out of Philadelphia all summer long," "Affixing their names to Mr. Jefferson's..." "Hallowed parchment whenever they happened to be in town." "You would not deny the artist a certain..." "license?" "Do not let our posterity" "Be deluded with fictions" "Under the guise of poetical" "Or graphical license." "It is a very common observation" "In Europe, Mr. Trumbull," "That nothing is so false" "As modern history." "Well, I would hasten to add" "That nothing is so false as modern European history" "Except modern American history." "In plain English, sir," "I consider the true history of the American revolution..." "As lost..." "Forever." "I have some scruples of conscience about..." "Whether I ought to be preserved," "Or whether it would be charity of me to stumble." "Still" "Still, I am not weary of life." "Strangely," "I have hope." "You take away hope and what remains?" "What pleasures?" "Do you follow me, Thomas?" "Hmm?" "It's getting late, father." "Is it?" "Let's go inside." "Come here, come here." "I have seen a queen of France" "With 18 million livres of diamonds on her person." "But I declare" "That all the charms of her face and figure" "Added to all the glitter of her jewels" "Did not impress me as much" "As that little shrub..." "Right there." "My mother always said" "That I never delighted enough" "In the mundane." "But now I find if I look at even the smallest thing..." "My imagination begins to roam the milky way." "Rejoice evermore." " What's that, father?" " Rejoice evermore." "Well, it's a phrase from saint paul, you fool." "Rejoice evermore." "Rejoice evermore!" "( Chuckles )" "Oh, I wish that had always been in my heart and on my tongue." "Oh." "You know, I am filled" "With an irresistible impulse" "To fall on my knees in adoration right here." " Stop it." " ( Laughing, muttering ) Oh, if only my knees would bend like they used to." "( Sighing, laughing )" "Father?" " Father?" " ( Grunts )" "Come, it's time for bed, father." " What?" " Let's get you to bed." "Sally!" "Sally!" " Come." " I can't." "Yes." "Come on, father." "Come on." "Come, father." "John:" "I can't." "I need to write a letter" "( Groaning )" " Are you comfortable?" " ( Grunts )" " Thomas?" " Yes?" "( Panting )" "Tomorrow is the fourth, yeah?" "Yes." "It is, father." "It was 50 years ago that our nation was born." "I must write a letter to Jefferson." "Father, no." "Tomorrow" " Write to him tomorrow." " ( Panting, grunting )" " You can do it tomorrow." "Good." "( Wheezing, moaning )" "No." "( Thunder rumbling )" "( Muttering )" "No, father-- No, father." "It's july the fourth." "It was 50 years ago today" "Our nation was born." "( Crickets buzzing )" "It's the fourth." "Yes, sir." "Oh." "Fetch the others." "Sally." "( Thunder rumbling )" "( Rain pattering )" "( Mumbling ) Is that cannon fire?" "Father, it's only thunder." "It's just thunder." "( Mumbling ) Isn't that right, John?" "Johnny?" "Help me, child." "Help me, child." "Help me, child." "Abigail." "Abigail." "It is no matter." "You're mine." "It's time." "( Crickets chirping )" "( Sniffles )" " ( Crying ) - ( Fly buzzing )" "( Thunder rumbling )" "( Wheezing )" "Thomas Jefferson." "( Crying )" "Thomas Jefferson..." "Survives." "John's voice: "my dearest friend," "Whether I stand high or low" "In the estimation of the world," "My conscience is clear." "I thank God I have you" "For a partner in all the joys and sorrows," "All the prosperity and adversity of my life..." "To take a part with me in the struggle."" "Abigail's voice: "should I draw you the picture of my heart," "You would know with what undescribable pleasure" "I have seen so many scores of years" "Roll over our heads..." "With an affection heightened and improved by time." "Nor have the dreary years of absence" "In the smallest degree d" "The image of the dear, untitled man to whom I gave my heart." "You could not be," "Nor did I wish to see you," "An inactive spectator."" "John's voice: "no, posterity," "You will never know how much it cost us" "To preserve your freedom." "I hope that you will make a good use of it." "If you do not," "I shall repent in heaven" "That I ever took half the pains..." "To preserve it."" "( Theme music playing )"

What the Baadsgaard Coat of Arms Means
* Fleur-de-lis: Purity and light* Anchor: Hope and religious steadfastness - acts as a reference to the naval interpretation of the name “Baadsgaard”*Pen and inkwell: Educated employment and the art of writing* Open book: Manifestation—a declared interest in education (and represents the literary accomplishments of the family)* White rose: Hope, joy, love and faith - this particular style of rose is known as the Yorkshire rose, a reference to the British origins of the Wolsey, Parrish and Beck family)* Star: Celestial goodness, excellence and nobility of character. The number of stars corresponds to the number of children in the family…)* Angel Moroni: Activity in the LDS church and faith in the restored Gospel
Shield Supporters* Stag: Peace and harmony; one who will not fight unless provoked* Angel: dignity, glory and honor; missionary; bearer of joyful news* Helmet: Facing left, the helmet indicates loyalty to God (additionally, this helmet is a rough approximation of the helmet found on the Danish Baads family coat of arms)
Mantling: Usually a purely artistic touch; however, the red flowers growing near the base of the shield are woodbine, which symbolize “Love that does not injure that which it clings to”.Banner :This is a motto or phrase with special meaning to the family: Cum uterque pedis contactus terra, nequeo induco bracæ. Translated loosely, it means “If you keep both feet on the ground, you can’t get your pants on.”

Karachi Massacre
Pakistan has been facing the terrorism for a long time now. Every terror attack, even target killings of the individuals is condemnable in the strongest terms, yet some of the terror attacks amongst these could be reckoned as the barbarity and butchery of the highest rank. Amongst others, the attack on the Ahmadiyya Community in Lahore where two of their worship places were attacked during the worship by the fully armed terrorists who opened heavy gunfire on the unarmed persons, like duck shooting. After that the Church Attack and then was the APS attack for which even history seems to be devoid of such a bloodshed of the innocent children. These wounds were not fully healed yet there is another such attack in Karachi. The victim once again is a peaceful, apolitical and educated community and the pattern of the attack was quite similar as the previously mentioned attacks were. Every normal human being is shaken with grief and anguish over such a loss of precious human lives in such an extreme cruel manner.
Whether Taliban or some foreign hand is involved in this tragic incident, the fact is that they are the two sides of the same coin. Taliban are only disguising their true agenda with the name of their so called Islam. To my understanding they are in fact playing a role of the mercenary and are available for hire to the highest bidder. A foreign agency could be the highest bidder when the matter is of the national interests of Pakistan.
An important factor in evaluating the exact target of this attack is that the Ismaili community is attacked by the terrorists for the first time. This community inhabits mainly in two parts of our country, i.e. in Northern Areas of Gilgit Baltistan up to the Sost, the last town before Pak-China Border in Khanjrab and in Karachi. I have no knowledge of this community populated in any other part of the country in a considerable number. So if this community is attacked in Karachi the outcome is certainly going to affect the northern side. It is not hard to digest who the target actually is? Upsetting this community may potentially upset the peaceful atmosphere near Pak China Border where this community is populated in majority. So this seems to be quite clear that what could be the real target and who could be the beneficiary of this attack.
Having said all this, our own mistakes and faults cannot be excused or vindicated at all. If a body is continuously being attacked by the diseases than the whole blame ought not to be put on the diseases alone. This attitude is just an expression of a defeated mindset. A healthy body with strong immunity overcomes internal diseases. Thus we have to improve our internal and external affairs.
The poignant question is that where these Taliban or other radicalized elements came from? Did they come from a foreign country? Indeed it is us who nurtured them and bred them by ignoring the fact that allowing someone to exploit the religion to create a non state army can play havoc with their own masters. We did not even bother to see what was going under our nose when numerous seminaries were breeding the armies with the foreign aid to fight in the name of so called Islam. Noble orientations are always exploited to inculcate a radicalized approach and to brainwash an already defeated mindset. We ought to admit that we are responsible for creating an atmosphere where such terrorists have been nurturing and flourishing. That atmosphere cannot be changed with mere surgical operations by the Army. We have to set our directions and narratives. Our state must not interfere in the faiths of her subjects or patronize a certain school of thought or decide the faith of any faction. It is not for a state to define or interpret a religion. Religion is divine and let it be divine. Stop monopolizing the religion at the state level. Keep the religion above the filthy politics for God sake.
Pakistan Army has now accomplished significant achievements through their new resolve to fight insurgency after APS attack. We have seen formidable decrease in terrorism throughout the country. Such chronic diseases cannot be cured with a flick of the wand. But the situation is still asking for more. It seems our politicians are still compromising on many fronts on political basis in certain ways. They perhaps dread the nuisance value of the disband organizations, their sympathizer in every walk of life, most importantly the pulpiteers and a number of seminaries. But this political cum coward approach must be disembarrassed now. Extraordinary measures are required to meet an extraordinary situation. Our country is in no position to tolerate such illegitimate political compromises. Our political rulers should understand that they cannot please all the people for all necessary actions. It is now or never, do or die situation and our present democratic setup must cope with the gravity of the issue and should play their due role in the ongoing battle. A battle we cannot afford to lose.

Not everything that comes from some god or monogod is good. Humans must learn to decide if their god is a good god or a bad god.
This religion from Arabia is definitely enforcing a bad god.

Reasons Why Vaporizer Is Safer Than Cigarettes
Switching from conventional tobacco cigarettes to vaporizers is now a common phenomenon, and many medical studies stating that this new smoking alternative is way safer and healthier than regular tobacco cigarettes play a big part in it. While it is true that many people still doubt the statement, smokers tend to enjoy this healthier discovery. More importantly, buying high-quality devices and e-liquid is relatively easy these days, making it less complicated to start switching to vaporizers. Manufacturers also offer only quality products to satisfy their buyers. Dynamic Creations, available at https://www.dynamiccreations.com/, is one example.
There are several health-related reasons why smoking e-liquid, or what is commonly known as e-juice, is healthier than smoking regular tobacco cigarettes. These reasons relate to how the new device is composed of certain elements and the fact that the liquid used is way healthier. This significant difference is the main reason why vaporizers are healthier and a safer option, according to many studies. This article aims to give you information about the detailed explanations of why the statement is scientifically valid.
No Tobacco Combustion
One leading reason why tobacco cigarettes are not an option when one needs to lead a healthy lifestyle is that conventional smoking requires tobacco combustion. The combustion is the reason why lung cancers and other health issues are a frequent case for heavy smokers. When the combustion occurs, toxins and other harmful chemical substances are released to one’s respiratory system and stays inside even after days.
Different from tobacco cigarettes, vaporizers offer the same smoking sensation, but it does not involve any combustion. It means that no toxins are released, making it a safer option. For this reason, many suggest switching to vaping, especially for those heavy smokers looking for a healthier option. Also, the fact that most manufacturers produce products using natural ingredients should be a consideration.
Passive Smokers
The issue of passive smokers is also an interesting topic since it exposes the truth of what dangers that non-smoking people can encounter, especially when they stay around smokers for hours a day. Fortunately, inventors have successfully addressed this problem by inventing vaporizers and e-liquid or e-juice.
Although it is still a subject of endless debates, several scientific studies prove that passive vapers are less likely to suffer from illnesses that are common among passive smokers. However, note that the above statement does not suggest to inhale the vaporizer smoke all the time. It indeed smells good, and many people enjoy inhaling the smoke. But, staying away from any form of air pollution is the best option.

Scientists Develop Vaginal and Rectal HIV Prevention Gel
Scientists have developed a gel that can be applied to the vagina and rectum to prevent the transmission of HIV.
A team of researchers presented their microbicide gel at the 2013 American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists annual meeting, showing how it could be used to reduce transmission of the infection that affects 35 million people worldwide.
The team included scientists from ImQuest BioSciences, Duke University, Magee-Womens Hospital and the University of Pittsburgh.
Their primary goal was to create a safe and effective gel for the administration of antiviral products to both the vagina and rectum. Currently gels are only available for vaginal application.
HIV is most commonly spread through anal and vaginal intercourse but the environments of both are very different so need different conditions for safe and effective drug delivery in terms of toxicity and permeability.
Previously, researchers have developed vaginal gels that significantly cut the rate of women contracting HIV from infected partners. A study found the gel cut infection rates by 50% after one year of use in South Africa.
Single product 'makes sense'
However, later research showed the gel was ineffective in parts of Africa because people did not use the medicines properly.
"We are obviously disappointed in the results. We were very hopeful that these products, which we know have been effective in other studies and clearly have a lot of promise, would work," said Jeanne Marrazzo, a researcher on the project for the University of Washington.
Researchers working on the DuoGel hope their product will eliminate some of the problems that arise with vaginal gels.
Anthony Ham, from ImQuest BioSciences, said: "It is recognised that both vaginal and rectal intercourse occur during the same sexual act, so a single product that is safe for both compartments makes sense in terms of convenience, which is likely to result in higher compliance.
"In addition, these DuoGels will be much safer products for HIV prevention in males practicing receptive anal intercourse."
The DuoGel developed by the team is currently being prepared for animal studies and they hope to begin the first phase of clinical trial by early 2015. A placebo DuoGel is also being used to evaluate compliance and acceptability.

My blog
Обо мне
I am an international lawyer with a passion for good, simple but well-prepared food. In my food blog Memorie di Angelina, inspired by my grandmother's wonderful home cooking, I draw on my Italian heritage, my international life experience in New York, Rio, Paris, Vienna and, above all, ten wonderful years in Rome. I now live in Washington, DC.
Besides the Italian food of my own cultural background, I also enjoy French and Chinese cuisine. I am an inveterate dim sum maven, can't get enough noodle soup and dream about a hearty cassoulet on a cold winter's eve. But let me not forget my passion for great sushi and fondness for real Mexican food.
I author a food blog called Memorie di Angelina, inspired by the wonderful home cooking of my Italian grandmother. I also administer a Facebook recipe exchange club called Gnocchi ai funghi.
Looking forward to enjoying this vibrant community of professional and home chefs!
Комментарии
I have followed you now for over a year, and of all the claimed Italian cooks, I felt compelled to share that your recipes for genuine Italian cuisine and exceptional. I can say this since I am Italian on both sides of my family, and grew up with a similar (slightly more aged) family heritage--cook, eat and have fun with affection. The ladder of course is the best ingredient.
Sorry, I forgot to add that Amos suggested that I ask you if you had any VERY simple recipes that would be suitable for my site. Would you please share to get my site up and running? I don't think there is another site here dedicated to disabled cooks. Think of yourself suddenly in a wheelchair. What would you serve? You would have reduced endurance, reduced arm strength and mobility problems. I put a link to one of my Blogs on Post Polio Syndrome about cooking from a wheelchair on "Tips and Helpful Hints"......
Frank, in my fantasy I live in Umbria, and in fact will be there in less than 2 months. I have no actual Italian blood but i married a 1/2 Siciliano and in my heart I am an Italian girl. Ask anyone who knows me.
Hey, Frank - I just put up a 'salty' response to your comment on the Tips page. I signed on to Memorie di Angelina yesterday, so I guess that makes me the 10,001th subscriber! I hope we can share much in the time to come. Best regards - Amos
Hey, Amos! Thanks for stopping by. And thanks a whole lot for subscribing to Memorie di Angelina looking forward to exchanging recipes and all that! I plan to do the salt test today as I have both kosher and sea salt in the house.
(And by the way, thanks for reminding me to update my status. It was really out of date; the blog now has over 17,500 followers! But I won't post about it until I get to 20,000...)
My name is Mary Gordon. I am 36, single, take care of my mom, and going to college studying computer animation. I also have diabetes and asthma. Do you have and recipe ideas for me that I could leave for her while I am gone and to take with me while I am at school.
Mary, Wow, that's a lot of responsibility on your shoulders! Anyway, if your Mom can do some simple cooking tasks like reheating or popping something in the oven, then your task becomes a lot easier. Any sort of soups and stews can be reheated--in fact, they're much better made ahead. And you can also make gratineed dishes up to the point they go into the oven, and she can pop they in the oven just before she wants to eat. As for recipes, take a gander of some of mine. I think you'll find that most of them (except for the pastas) would be fine made ahead.
Not too many, Brooke. I'm no expert about how this site works, to be honest. But in my opinion the best way to enjoy this site is through the various groups that have been formed. This way you get alerts about new recipes and can share yours, too, more easily. Other than that, not much to say... it's a fun site, not nearly as commercial as most of the others, and so more enjoyable IMHO.

Shaykh al-Sayyid Ahmad al-Badawi
The Shaykh al-Sayyid Ahmad al-Badawi(Radi Allah Anhu) was a Muslim saint and also the founder of the Badawiyyah Sufi order. He was born in Fez, Morocco in 596 AH and died in Tanta, Egypt in 675 AH. He was noted for his ascetic behavior, and was also known to perform many miracles.
Many false stories have unfortunately also been attributed to him, including by those who claim to be Sufi teachers.
Al-Sayyid Ahmad al-Badawī (Radi Allah Anhu) was the youngest of the seven children of al-Sayyid ‘Alī(Radi Allah Anhu). His siblings were al-Hasan (the eldest, born in 583 AH), Muhammad, Fāţimah, Zainab, Ruqayyah, and Fiddah.
Even from a young age, al-Sayyid Ahmad(Radi Allah Anhu) was already known as al-Badawī (the bedouin) as he liked to cover his face, imitating the behaviour of the desert dwellers.
And while he was still living in Fez, al-Sayyid Ahmad al-Badawī(Radi Allah Anhu) was brought by his brother al-Sayyid al-Hasan to meet a Sufi shaykh by the name of ‘Abd al-Jalīl ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Naisabūrī, who recognized the spiritual talent of the young boy and gave him initiation into the Sufi path.
In 603 AH, al-Sayyid ‘Alī heard a voice in his dream telling him to migrate to Makkah al-Mukarramah. So he took his family, including the seven year old al-Sayyid Ahmad al-Badawī, to move to Makkah al-Mukarramah. The journey took approximately four years. They stopped at several places including Cairo, which at that time was under the rule of al-Sulţān Sayfuddīn al-‘Ādil al-Ayyūbī.
When they finally reached Makkah al-Mukarramah, they were warmly welcomed by the leaders of the shurafā’ (descendants of the Prophet Muhammad, may Allah shower blessings and peace upon him and his family members).
In Makkah al-Mukarramah, al-Sayyid Ahmad al-Badawī(Radi Allah Anhu) studied and memorized the Quran. He also attended lessons on al-Hadīth and on al-Fiqh based on the madhhab (school of thought in Islamic jurispudence) of al-Imām al-Shāfi’ī (Radi Allah Anhu).
After being introduced to the world of Sufism, al-Sayyid Ahmad al-Badawī(Radi Allah Anhu) would spent a lot of his time in spiritual seclusion. One of his favourite spots was on Jabal Abī Qubais, which is located near Masjid al-Harām.
The next day, al-Sayyid Ahmad al-Badawī (Radi Allah Anhu) left Makkah al-Mukarramah and set out to visit the tombs of the righteous ones in Iraq, accompanied by his elder brother al-Sayyid al-Hasan(Radi Allah Anhu).
Before they reached Umm ‘Abīdah, the resting place of al-Shaykh Ahmad al-Rifā’ī (Radi Allah Anhu), al-Sayyid al-Hasan decided to go back to Makkah al-Mukarramah for he missed his family. Al-Sayyid Ahmad al-Badawī (Radi Allah Anhu) continued his journey alone and met with many adventures including defeating the enchantress called Fāţimah near Umm ‘Abīdah.
In one of the most misquoted anecdotes, it was related that while al-Shaykh Ahmad al-Badawī (Radi Allah Anhu) was in Iraq, he was offered by al-Shaykh ‘Abd al-Qādir al-Jīlanī (Radi Allah Anhu) and al-Shaykh Ahmad al-Rifā’ī (Radi Allah Anhu) [in their spiritual forms] the keys to the spiritual kingdoms of Iraq, Yemen, India, Iconium, and all the Muslim lands in the East and the West, for the keys were in their hands.
Al-Sayyid Ahmad al-Badawī (Radi Allah Anhu) politely declined. [According to one version of the story, al-Sayyid Ahmad al-Badawī said that he would only take the keys from the hand of the Prophet Muhammad himself, may Allah shower blessings and peace upon him and his family members.]
After visiting the tombs of the pious ones in Iraq, including that of his ancestor al-Imām Mūsā al-Kāzim (Radi Allah Anhu), and receving further spiritual illumination after spending some time in meditation there, al-Sayyid Ahmad al-Badawī (Radi Allah Anhu) headed home.
Al-Sayyid al-Hasan (Radi Allah Anhu) told his younger brother, “Verily, inviting people to the path of Allah is the key to goodness. What al-Shaykh ‘Abd al-Qādir al-Jīlanī (Radi Allah Anhu) and al-Shaykh Ahmad al-Rifā’ī (Radi Allah Anhu) had wanted was that you follow their path in inviting people to God. And their path is none other than following the Quran and the Sunnah. This is the true path (ţarīqah) in Islam.”
He studied the Qur’an with the readers of the time. He possessed a courageous heart, and was called al-Badawi because of his stuttering. When the divine gifts came to him, drowning him in complete absorption in Allah, his life completely changed. He shunned the company of people; held to silence, and communicating only through gestures. (one line left out).His state continued to grow until he became as he is known. In his sleep he saw three times someone saying, “Stand and go to place of the rising sun. If you reach there, then go to the place of the setting sun. Then travel to Tanta, for surely this is your place, O young man!” This was in Shawwal, 633 H.
He went to Iraq where he was welcomed by its Shaykhs, both living and dead. He took on the blessed Sufi Kharqa through the permission of Shaykh Bari (Radi Allah Anhu) who received it from Na‘im al-Baghdadi (Radi Allah Anhu) who in turn received it from Shaykh Ahmad al-Rafa‘I (Radi Allah Anhu), may Allah be pleased with all of them. After reaching Tanta, al-Sayyid Ahmad al-Badawī (Radi Allah Anhu) stayed at the home of a trader by the name of Rukain (also known as Ruknuddīn) ibn Shuhaiţ.
Al-Sayyid Ahmad al-Badawī (Radi Allah Anhu) was very well received in Tanta. Many people came to visit him, for they benefitted from his presence and his teachings, and also from the barākah that flowed through him. It was reported that al-Sayyid Ahmad al-Badawī (Radi Allah Anhu) once said, “The spiritual paupers (al-fuqarā’) are like the olive fruit. Among them are the great ones and among them are the small ones. For those who do not possess “oil”, I will be their “oil”. I will aid them in all their affairs and I will also help them overcome their difficulties. Not on my own efforts and strengths, but through the barākah of the Prophet, may Allah shower blessings and peace upon him and his family members.”
His Tariqa :
He took bay‘ah from Shaykh Ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Naysaburi (Radi Allah Anhu), from whom there are a chain of seven shaykhs who received bay‘a from al-Imam Dawud al-Ta’iy who received it from Habib Allah al-‘Ajami who received from the Master of the Tabi‘een, al-Hasan al-Basri, who received it from Sayyiduna ‘Ali, may Allah illumine his face, who received it from al-Mustafa, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
His State :
He was a big Qutb, he could cause his murids to grow in ma’rifa by just looking at them. If he gave one of his murids a special look he would raise him to the Maqam of al-Shuhud. He used to fast continually for forty days, then break his fast. In most of his states he would stare upward to the sky with eyes of burning coal, shouting continuously.
His Attributes :
He was called the one with the two veils, for he always wore two veils. He was tall with thick legs, full arms, and a big face. His complection was between white and brown.
His Noble Sayings :
Sayyid Ahmad al-Badawi (may Allah be pleased with him) said:The fuqarā are like olives, among them are the big and small, and he who has no oil; and I am his oil. Meaning, whoever is truthful (şādiq) in his poverty, pure as the oil, living according to the Book and the Sunnah, then I am his help in all matters, providing for his needs in this world and the next—not by my power and strength but by the barakah of the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace).
O Abd al-‘Al, beware of love of this world, for it corrupts the righteous deed as vinegar corrupts honey. Know, ‘Abd al-‘Al, that Allah said: “Surely Allah is with those who possess taqwa and those who do good” (16:128).
‘Abd al-‘Al, be concerned with the orphan, cloth the naked, feed the hungry, honor the stranger and the guest, perhaps then you will be among those whom Allah accepts.
‘Abd al-‘Al, you must do dhikr abundantly, and beware of being among those who are heedless of Allah the High. Know that every raka‘ah at night is better than a thousand in the day.The best of you in character is he who has the most belief in Allah the High. Evil character corrupts good deeds like vinegar corrupts honey.
‘Abd al-‘Al, this way of ours is built upon the Book, the Sunnah, şidq, purity, loyalty, bearing injustice against oneself, and fulfilling the promise.
Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Al said: While serving the Shaykh for forty years I never saw him distracted from the worship of Allah for an instant. One day I asked him about the reality of poverty in the way of the sacred law (al-faqr al-shar‘ī) and he said: According to ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) the faqīr (in Allah) has the following 12 signs: (1) he is an ‘arif bi llah (i.e., having direct knowledge of Allah); (2) he is obedient to Allah’s commands; (3) he holds to the Sunnah of the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace); (4) he is always pure; (5) in every situation he is pleased with Allah; (6) he is certain of what is with Allah; (7) he is despairing of what is in the hands of mankind; (8) he bears [patiently] with hardships; (9) he hastens to fulfill Allah’s command; (10) he shows compassion for mankind; (11) he is humble before people; (12) he knows that Shaytan is his enemy according to what Allah the High says: “Surely, the Shaytan is your enemy, so take him for an enemy” (35:6).
Then Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Al asked him about reflection, tawbah, dhikr, love of Allah (wajd), şabr, zuhd, īmān, and his shaykh and teacher, Ahmad al-Badawi, answered him in such a way that it quenched the fire of rancor, comforted the ill, and demonstrated Allah’s knowledge (of all things). These words, known to the nobles of knowledge and the Sufis, were found scattered about, but the Sayyid revealed their reality, exposing them with purity and clarity. He said the following about the above mentioned technical terms:
Reflection (tafkīr): Reflection upon Allah’s creatures and His creating not upon His essence, for surely thinking cannot encompass Him.
Tawbah: Its reality is regret for wrongs committed, abandonment of disobedience, asking for Allah’s forgiveness with the tongue, resolve not to return to the disobedience, and purity of heart. This is the tawbat al-naşuĥ (sincere tawbah) to which Allah orders us in His Mighty Book: “O you who believe, turn in repentance to Allah a sincere turning” (66:8).
Dhikr: The reality of dhikr is that it is with the heart not by the tongue only. Dhikr with the tongue without the heart is shallow. Remember Allah with a heart that is present and beware of being distracted (ghaflah) from Allah, for surely it causes the heart to become hard.
Wajd: Wajd is when the dhikr of the Real, la ilaha illa hu, increases so that a light is cast into the heart from Allah’s presence, until the skin thrills, and there is longing for the Beloved, la ilaha illa hu. The murīd clings to wajd and attaches himself entirely to Allah. When the wajd increases and he becomes distracted in passionate love so that it becomes excessive, then the murīd reaches the high rank of spiritual elevation.
Patience (şabr): It is pleasure with the hukm (ruling) of Allah and submission to His command. It is when man rejoices in misfortune just as he rejoices in good fortune. Allah says: “And give good news to the patient, who when a misfortune befalls them, say: surely we are Allah’s and to Him we surely return” (2: 155-156).
Zuhd: Zuhd is opposing the nafs by leaving worldly desires; and leaving the seven doors of the permitted in the fear that one may fall into the prohibited.
Īmān: Īmān is the most precious thing; he who has the most belief (īmān) has the most taqwa. When the character (akhlāq) of the murīd is good, his īmān increases; the best of you in character is he who has the most belief in Allah.
When imparting counsel to his khalifah, ‘Abd al-‘Al, Shaykh al-Badawi said: Don’t rejoice over the misfortune of any of Allah’s creatures or utter words that slander or defame. Never harm someone who has harmed you. Show concern for someone who has wronged you. Do good to whoever has done you evil and give to whoever has withheld from you. Do you know who is the true, patient faqīr? I said: Please, continue to give me what is beneficial. Shaykh al-Badawi (Radi Allah Anhu) continued: He is the one who when he gives he doesn’t ask to be thanked. And when the patient man losses his patience because of Allah’s hukm (ruling; i.e., He causes events to occur that break the faqīr’s patience), he acts according to the Book and the Sunnah.The following words transmitted by Sayyid al-Bakri are the ultimate expression of the secret of Shaykh al-Badawi’s (Radi Allah Anhu) great spiritual nature: He who has no knowledge (‘ilm) will have no worth (qīmah) in this world or the next. He who has no forbearance (ĥilm) will find no benefit in knowledge. He who is without generosity (sakhā’) will have no portion of his wealth. He who has no sympathy and concern (shafaqah) for mankind will find no intercessor to plead his case (shifā‘ah) before Allah. He who has no patience (şabr) will obtain no success and goodness in his affairs. He who has no taqwa (godfearingness) has no station (manzilah) with Allah. And he who is deprived of these six qualities has no place in the Garden (Jinnah).
His Nearness to Allah :
Hazrat Sayed Ahmed Al Badawi(Radi Allah Anhu) was drawing near to Allah until he reached the door of divine presence and said ” O Allah please open the door for me” He was not getting an answer until he met some one by the grace of Allah, He saw that person on the street, an ordinary person, who looked at him and said “O Ahmad” He did not even call him “Shaikh Ahmad” to give him due respect. He said “O Ahmad” you need the key to Allah Divine Presence? I have that key. If u want it, come to me and i will give to u.Many people among us , because they are proud of themselves refuse to accept facts and truth, although they know, as a matter of fact, that this is the right path. They are not accepting because of their ego say “NO” so Ahmad ego said to him, ” How are u going to accept something from him? Dont accept the key from him accept Allah.So he said brother i dont take the key from u or any one else except the key maker. Who are u ? you are nothing.Then he kept striving to reach the divine presence until he heard a voice saying to him, ” O Ahmad”, this life is the life of cause an effect, I will not give the key to u. My will is that the key to my door, for u is with that person so go and get it from him, Now the matter was selected he had heard it from Allah and has accepted.Now he had to find that guide, but that guide had disappeared. He had left him for six months the guide was secretly observing Ahmad’s heart seeing him search for him to and fro and pray to Allah day and night “O Allah send that person back to me” That person finally removed his viel he had been there all the time revealing himself and Ahmad saw him last. so the guide removed the veil and appeared to Hazrat Sayed Ahmed Al Badawi(Radi Allah Anhu) . Hazrat Sayed Ahmed Al Badawi(Radi Allah Anhu) said “O My Shaikh! I found u. “He did not find him but the guide had removed the viel, it was he who was unabel to notice him.and Hazrat Sayed Ahmed Al Badawi(Radi Allah Anhu) said oh y shaikh i accept u as a guide, the guide replied if u accept me as a guide now u have to submit and surrender give over your will to me completely. you cannot have a will beside my will. You have built your knowledhe on a cliff. With a breath from the wind of ego , it is going to collapse. I have to first build for you a firm foundation. so , look into my eyes. Hazrat Sayed Ahmed Al Badawi(Radi Allah Anhu) look into the guide eyes and the guide immediately removed all the knowledge that Hazrat Sayed Ahmed Al Badawi(Radi Allah Anhu) has learned through books. “Through Books” means there are many things written which comes out fro the ego of authors. So he pulled out that knowledge from Hazrat Sayed Ahmed Al Badawi(Radi Allah Anhu) heart and disappeard. He left him for another six month not knowing even how to say, Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Rahim,” and not knowing how to prounce the holy name Allah.Everyone in the city now began mocking Hazrat Sayed Ahmed Al Badawi(Radi Allah Anhu) who had become insane after having been a great scholar. they thought that he was mentally ill because there understanding was limited. All they could see that he was following some one who was making him crazy, but Hazrat Sayed Ahmed Al Badawi(Radi Allah Anhu) knew that he heard the voice of Allah saying” your key is with that one. “No one can make him crazy-he was only after that person with all his focus.If Hazrat Sayed Ahmed Al Badawi(Radi Allah Anhu) had accepted from the begening, when that one came to him by Allah wills, he would not have passed through this test at that time. why make yourself pass through a test? When u find the truth, the correct guide, accept him immediately! dont play games with ur ego. So the guide left him for another six months, then appeared to him another time. In those six months Hazrat Sayed Ahmed Al Badawi(Radi Allah Anhu) had been searchin for him again. when he finally apperead again, Hazrat Sayed Ahmed Al Badawi(Radi Allah Anhu) saw him and said ” O my shaikh, i found u another time! ” At that time the guide looked into his eyes and through them transferred from his heart to Hazrat Sayed Ahmed Al Badawi(Radi Allah Anhu) heart, internal Knowledge-the knowledge of the book and its secrets – giving, giving , giving untul light was coming from Hazrat Sayed Ahmed Al Badawi(Radi Allah Anhu) eyes, so much that anyone who looked into his eyes would die. After that he began to wear a veil(burqa). At that time he was abel to enter into divine Presence, and he recived that key he had been seekin so long.Ahmad al-Badawi (Radi Allah Anhu) was one of the great awliya’ and was the Khalifa to Shaikh Baree (Radi Allah Anhu), who was one of the superiors of tasawwuf and the Khalifa to ‘Ali ibn Nuaym al-Baghdadi (Radi Allah Anhu), who was a great wali educated by Ahmad ar-Rifai (Radi Allah Anhu), a possessor of karamat and a Sharif. Ahmad al-Badawi (Radi Allah Anhu), who was a Sharif, too, passed away in Egypt in 675 A.H. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims have attained faid by visiting his tomb in Tanta every year, and nothing incongruous with Islam has happened during the visits. [Mir’at al-Madina, p.1049.] As to Hazrat Sayed ‘Abd al-Qadir al-Geilani (Radi Allah Anhu) and Hazrat Muhyiddin ibn al-‘Arabi (Radi Allah Anhu), their high status has been comprehended and explained in hundreds of books only by Islamic scholars who were talented like them. Al-Imam ar-Rabbani’s (rahimah-Allahu ta’ala) work Maktubat is full of eulogy and praise for these great walis. And great scholar ‘Abd al-Ghani an-Nabulusi (rahimah-Allahu ta’ala) wrote about their high honor in detail in Al-Hadiqa.
After the death of al-Sayyid Ahmad al-Badawī(Radi Allah Anhu) in Tanta, his followers came to visit his tomb regularly. Today, three special annual festivals are celebrated in his honour, the centre of which are held at the mosque bearing his name. The largest of these festivals is very popular and is attended by up to three million people from all walks of life in Egypt [and some parts of Sudan].
During his life time he has also visited many places through out the world and has also visited India and the neighbouring countries, there is chilla mubarak of this great Saint in Worli Sea face, Mumbai, India, one of the most expensive area of Mumbai, but when you reach at the chilla mubarak you will hardly feel like you are in mumbai. This place is full of greenery and is situated at a small hill there are all together 7 Mazar-e-Akdas at the same place from which one is the chilla mubarak of Hazrat Sayed Ahmed Al-Badwi (Radi Allah Anhu) and rest are the mazar Sharif of the Saints who came along with him.If you stay in India then you have to visit this place to see how blessed this place is by the rehmat of Allah, If you want to know any thing more fell free to ask me my email id is [email protected].

China’s Financial Summit: The Leadership Meets Hard Reality
On Friday and Saturday July 14 and 15, Beijing will hold a key financial meeting, that is expected to be attended by President Xi Jinping. This may be China’s most import economic planning meeting in several years as it will be a test of Beijing’s ability to restrict credit to the economy. We remain skeptical.
The conference is being heralded as the cornerstone of China’s deleveraging policy. At bottom, though, the driving force is Xi Jinping is desperate to avoid any kind of financial upset ahead of the Party Conference this fall and has ordered the banks to curtail risk. But the system has yet to actually deleverage. Will this change?
Our conclusion is Beijing will successfully reduce certain kinds of highly visible, and risky credit, such as Wealth Management Products, but the fiscal and financial demands of China’s various political interests will prevent a significant restriction in overall credit. Thus, with continued credit flowing into unproductive areas, the chances of a sharp downturn in economic activity, coupled a “balance sheet recession,” remain high.

A somewhat more serious take on Vash and Meryl; Meryl's impressions and understandings of Vash throughout their journey. Rated for violent or sexual themes and scenes. Follows 26 Episode story structure, fairly strong adherence to canon.
A/N: Apologies and thanks, yet again, to all you stubborn fans intent on keeping me writing, despite the fact it has been OVER A YEAR since my last update. As I said before, barring disaster, I will neverabandon this story. I have too much invested in it. Can't promise regular updates, but hey. Life happens. I've been stuck on this chapter forever, but I finally sat down and plowed through (with some help from the lovely Inkydoo) and the going is smoother from here.
People who've been waiting the whole year might want to brush up on the last chapter; it flows from one to the next pretty much instantly.
Episode 8: And Between the Wasteland & Sky, Part 2
"No!" Meryl screamed again, throwing her hands up toward Neon, palms out. "Please! Don't—awk." Her plea was cut short with a yelp of pain as something seized her leg in a vise-grip. She looked down to see Vash's left hand wrapped tightly around her ankle as he stared up at her with an expression dangerously close to that terrifying fury she had seen in him the night before.
"Get out of the way!" he growled. Meryl ignored him, turning to face Neon again.
"Please," she said, again. "He hasn't killed any of your men—"
"Ma'am, look out!" shrieked Milly, her shrill warning echoing across the canyon. Meryl looked behind her to see a huge boulder crashing down from the canyon wall. She knew there was little she could do to protect Vash—to protect either of them—but she threw herself down over him anyway.
Vash pushed feebly at her shoulder with one hand, letting out a strangled, angry noise.
A shot echoed out in the dark, audible even over the strained sounds of the steamer's hull scraping against the jagged rocks. Instead of the crushing weight she expected, Meryl was pummeled by a hail of smaller chunks of rock and she grunted in surprise, trying to keep her knees and elbows from buckling and collapsing onto Vash.
He just made that angry noise again, squeezing her shoulder now instead of trying to push her away.
A few more scattered rocks struck Meryl's back and she knew she'd have even more bruises—but how were they not crushed under a ton of stone?
"You idiot."
Coughing through the settling dust, Meryl managed to look up toward where Neon stood and she could see the laser pistol smoking in his hand, still pointed where she and Vash were lying. Meryl realized the man had destroyed the boulder in one shot, saving them both.
"That's what you get for jumping around like an acrobat in the shape you're in," Neon finished, holstering the pistol. Then he looked Meryl over appreciatively and grinned. "You should be thankful your woman would take such a risk for you."
"His what?" said Meryl, furious at the implication—again. She tried to scramble up to her feet, glaring at Neon, but she had barely raised herself to kneeling before Vash seized the front of her shirt and pulled her down again, her nose just iches from his. Meryl gasped as Vash took her face in both hands, holding her so tightly it hurt.
"Don't ever do that again!" he hissed, his eyes again so close to that fury. Meryl winced and put her hand over one of his as he shook her fiercely, saying, "I won't let you get—"
"Ma'am!" said Milly, appearing at Meryl's side and kneeling next to them. "Mr. Vash! Are you alright?" Milly pried Vash's hands from Meryl's face and his arms dropped limply to his sides as his head fell back against the metal plating of the deck.
Vash's eyes were clenched tightly shut now, but Meryl could still see his lips moving. Urgently she pulled herself closer again, desperate to hear the rest. She thought she could make out the words, "not for me," before Milly pushed her away.
"Let's get him back inside," said Milly quickly, gathering Vash in her arms, trying to wrangle all his spindly limbs. "Goodness, he's heavy," Milly noted, surprised. She struggled for a moment to get to her feet again, but then she was hurrying back to the relative safety of the passenger deck.
Meryl remained where she sat for a long moment, stunned, wondering what the hell had just happened. Don't ever do that again!Not for me…
The steamer scraped against the canyon wall again and knocked her sideways out of her reverie. Vash's revolver slid across the deck, almost into her hand, and Meryl picked it up as she stood. She nearly dropped it, unprepared for its weight, and caught it by the very end of the barrel. The overheated metal seared her palm and Meryl transferred the revolver quickly to the other hand as she hurried after Milly.
In the wake of the duel and now in the very imminent danger of the damaged steamer, something as insignificant as picking up a gun should not have weighed so heavily in Meryl's mind. But Vash's revolver sat resolutely solid and massive in her hand. She marveled at the weight of it, felt the heat of Vash's palm despite its absence, and when she wrapped her hand around the grip Meryl almost laughed to find that her index finger could reach nowhere near the trigger.
But then she was inside again and Milly had put Vash down in an empty corner and somehow the chaos inside the steamer was even louder than the noise of the canyon had been outside. By the time Meryl had crossed to where they were sitting, she could see Vash and Milly having some kind of argument.
"It's fine," grunted Vash, one hand clasped tight over his left side and the other pushing Milly's hands away. "The bullet went clean through, missed all the important bits."
"You are not fine!" argued Milly, still trying to open Vash's jacket to get a better look at the wound.
"Just give me a bandage, I'll see a medic later," said Vash, hissing through his teeth as the steamer was rocked by another collision with the canyon wall.
"I am a medic!" shrieked Milly.
"Enough," growled Meryl, losing her patience. She dropped the revolver in Vash's lap and knelt down, grabbing the collar of his jacket in both hands, leaning close to speak to him. "You better look me in the eye right now and promise me you'll survive with just a bandage, because I swear to god, if you die, I will hunt you down in the afterlife and beat the shit out of you, got it?"
From iches away, Vash looked stunned, mouth hanging open for a moment before he managed, "Ye—yeah, got it."
"And promise," Milly reminded him.
"I promise," said Vash, nodding, now staring at Meryl with the kind of calculating look she had seen from him before, but still couldn't interpret.
"Good," said Meryl, definitively. She stood and looked down at Milly, nodding. "Do it. I need you somewhere else." As Milly carefully covered the bullet wound with gauze and wrapped a bandage across Vash's chest and shoulder, Meryl relayed the information about Candice, and where Milly could find the injured girl and get her some better care than Meryl's sad field dressing.
By the end of the bandaging, Vash had gone pale and his face was drawn in an expression of pain, eyes shut tight.
"Emergency!"
Meryl looked up sharply as a crewman raced past them, shouting the alarm. He was out of her reach before she could even stand, but Meryl made a futile grab for him anyway.
"Milly, quick!" she said, but the younger woman had already stood and clotheslined the crewman with one arm. Meryl watched his legs fly up over his head as he landed, hard, on his back. Then she loomed over him and demanded, in a very deliberately growl, "What. Emergency."
The man stared up at her, bewildered and short of breath. "Brakes," he wheezed, finally. "Gone."
"What—who will?" she demanded, alarmed. She watched Vash's whole body start to sag and realized he was moments from just passing out where he sat. She knelt down at Vash's side, taking his face in her hands. "Vash, hey, stay with me," she ordered. "Who were you talking to? Vash."
Meryl shook him, but his eyes had fallen shut and he slumped heavily against her.
"Vash!" she hissed. "Goddamn it." Meryl felt a stab of guilt as she dug her knuckle into Vash's side, right where he had been shot, but it had the intended result. Vash woke with a yelp and Milly actually slapped Meryl's hand away, letting out a horrified, "Ma'am!"
Meryl just took Vash's face in her hands again as he winced and blinked slowly up at her.
"Who were you talking to?" she demanded. "Where is he?"
"Below," said Vash, looking blearily confused and pained. "He'll get to the manual brake, it's okay." His eyes fell shut again and Meryl slapped the side of his face—gently at first, then more forcefully—until he met her gaze.
"No, Vash," said Meryl, shaking her head emphatically. "No, it's not okay, listen—Vash, look at me!" she demanded. Vash frowned, trying to focus on her face as he reached up to put his hand over hers, his fingers curling into her palm. "The emergency brake won't stop the steamer," she told him. "It'll just tear us in half."
Vash suddenly went rigid and, if possible, even more pale. "What?" he asked. His fingers dug painfully into her palm now and she winced, but didn't let go.
"Whoever you have down there," she said, "you have to tell him not to pull the brake."
"I—I can't," said Vash, eyes wide and horror-struck as he touched his ear with one hand. "He's out of range, the microphone…"
Meryl didn't know or care what that last sentence meant—mycrafone?—and her mind was reeling, trying to come up with some kind of plan to stop this.
"It's okay," Meryl lied—it's very, very not okay— "I'll go…I'll…" She tried to stand but Vash held tight to her hand and pulled her back down.
"How…how do you know about the brake?" he asked.
"Does it matter right now?" demanded Meryl, peeling Vash's fingers from around her wrist. She was startled when his grip only tightened and he dragged her closer.
"Yes," he said, hoarsely, staring into her eyes so fiercely Meryl almost forgot to breathe. "Tell me how—"
Both his words and his grip faltered as the steamer shook violently again, and Meryl took the opportunity to pull herself free of Vash's grasp and scramble out of reach.
"Milly, get to Candice," Meryl ordered. "You—" she pointed to Vash, "stay here." She emphasized her point by stabbing her finger vehemently in his direction again. "I'll be back, quick as I can," she told them, turning to run through the crowd.
The duel between Vash and Neon seemed to have put the whole hijacking operation into disorder and Meryl was able to slip away from the main deck without any BadLads noticing. When she reached the nearest staircase, Meryl took one last glance back at Vash. Even from this distance she could see him still staring at her, wide-eyed. Unnerved, she looked away, and ran.
Meryl didn't know how much of a head start Vash's ally had, but she desperately needed to beat him to the emergency brake. The lower decks of the steamer remained as empty as they had been when she and Milly were making her way up and she was glad not to meet any interference.
As she neared the rear of the steamer Meryl suddenly heard loud, angry voices and she slid to a halt before turning the next corner. She took a quick glance and was relieved to see four men in steward uniforms, some crewmen who had somehow managed to avoid the earlier round-up by the BadLads.
She ran toward them now, about to call out and ask for their help in preventing the brake, but realized in horror that they were standing over another figure—a child, a boy—and they were kicking him.
"Stop it!" shouted Meryl, sprinting the remaining distance. She lost her footing for a moment and glanced down to see a faded set of wrinkled blueprints on the floor.
The boy was curled up in a fetal position, crying out as the man nearest Meryl brought his foot down, hard, on his side. She grabbed the man's arm and pulled him back a step. "What the hell is wrong with you?" she demanded.
"This isn't your problem," he said, pushing Meryl back so roughly she fell hard on ass and elbows. Before Meryl could do so much as scowl, the boy, now no longer the center of attention, had leapt to his feet, looking incredulous.
"You hit a girl!" he shouted. He threw a punch (a lousy punch, but still), managing to hit Meryl's assailant squarely on the jaw. The man stumbled back, knocking into the other crewmen, and the boy used the opportunity to dive forward and collect the crumpled blueprints from the floor. He grabbed Meryl under the arm and hauled her to her feet. "Run!" said the boy, as the crewmen got themselves sorted out again.
Meryl ran after him, but he had long legs and none of her injuries and she fell behind after a few quick corners and corridors.
"Wait!" she called, at this point almost breathless. "We lost them, you can stop running." The boy looked back over his shoulder and stopped, his sneakers squeaking on the metal flooring. He looked at her warily and Meryl wondered what he was thinking.
"Who are you?" he asked, finally.
Meryl ignored his question and took a wild guess. "Are you working with Vash?" When the boy just looked puzzled, Meryl rolled her eyes. "Blond. Red jacket." She waved her hands erratically over her head. "Crazy hair."
Recognition dawned. "Oh!" said the boy. "Yeah."
The steamer gave another great lurch, throwing them both to the ground, and the boy seemed to come to his senses.
"I have to stop the steamer!" he said, leaping to his feet. "The brakes are out, but there's a manual override."
"I know," said Meryl. The boy offered his hand and she took it, standing again. "But it won't work, it'll just tear us in half."
"What do you mean, 'You know' ?" asked the boy, skeptical. He held up the blueprints, shaking them in her face. "My dad built this steamer, I know—"
"I shoveled coal on the S.S. Gunsmoke for a year," snarled Meryl. "And only a year." She put heavy emphasis on the words. "Believe me when I tell you that the brake will just destroy us."
The boy's eyes went wide and his lips mouthed the word, "Gunsmoke?"
Another collision shook the steamer and put an end to their argument.
"Look," said Meryl, thinking fast. "You can't pull the brake without shutting off the engines."
"But—"
"Shut up and listen!" Meryl snapped. "We can't get to the engines from here, not in time to do any good, but I can get to the boiler room. I'll shut it all down, that'll start slowing the engines, at least. You'll be able to feel it." The boy looked overwhelmed, but nodded. "So you get to the brake, but don't pull it 'til the last minute!"
"Okay," he said, nodding again.
"Give me your shoes," Meryl ordered. The boy didn't respond immediately, clearly baffled by her demand. "Your shoes! I'm not walking barefoot into a boiler room! You can get an insulated heavy-suit later, you'll be fine!"
"Oh," said the boy, meekly. "Right." He dutifully toed out of his shoes and Meryl stepped into them. They were too large by at least two sizes, but at least they were something. Then he just stood there, staring at her.
"Well?" Meryl hollered. "GO!" The boy jumped in alarm, then turned to run in the opposite direction. She heard his stocking feet thudding against the plate metal floor as he disappeared around the corner, and could only pray he would do as she said.
Her own feet made even louder thud noises, and she made her steps as quickly and carefully as she could, not wanting to trip in the boy's over-large shoes. It wasn't long until she found herself at the boiler room, back again after so many long years…
The massive metal door was open—thank god, she wouldn't have to pull the damn thing free herself—and Meryl ran inside. The swell of heat was intense, almost knocking her backward, but she found her balance and clambered up the few steps to the foreman's platform near the room's entrance.
A heavy brass bell hung high on the wall and Meryl had to climb onto the low rung of the railing that framed the platform in order to reach it. The bell was used to gain everyone's attention in such a noisy room, and it worked.
Dozens of faces turned to hers as she shouted, "We're headed for a drop-off and the brakes are gone! We need to slow the engines!"
For a moment there was stunned silence as people tried to make sense of what Meryl had told them. Frustrated, she opened her mouth to say it again but she was blindsided by harsh memories tied to a voice she recognized immediately.
"Meryl?"
Her mouth went dry—drier than it already was in all this heat—and her head spun as she looked back into a face she had never expected to see again, a face she hadn't seen since the last time a steamer had been crashing down around her ears, when she woke up in his bed instead of…
"Clark," she croaked in reply. But there wasn't time to dwell on the past, she needed help now, and knew he could be what she needed. He was foreman now, Meryl could see the designation on his coal-blackened shirt, and she knew the rest of the men would listen to him. "We have to slow the engines," she told him, her voice raw from yelling in the extreme heat.
Clark stared back at her for only one shocked instant before turning to bark orders at his men.
"We gotta slow her down!" he bellowed. "Cut the heat and drain the boilers!"
Meryl hopped the railing at the foreman's platform and landed hard on the deck below. She raced to the sandbin near the rear of the room and seized a heavy shovel in both hands. Clark appeared at her side, but Meryl said nothing and kept her attention solidly on her shovel as she dug it deep into the sandbin.
She lifted a scoop of sand and hauled it across the floor to the nearest coal fire.
"Open it!" Meryl shouted, and the man nearest her did as she bade him. She unloaded the sand onto the coals and immediately turned for another load. Clark was right behind her, and two other men joined them, ferrying sand to cover the coals and keep the heat from the boilers above.
Finally it seemed Clark couldn't bear the silence any longer. "What happened to you?" he asked, between panting breaths. He followed Meryl back to the sandbin for yet another shovel-load. "You just disappeared after Alex died—"
"Now's not really the best time, Clark!" Meryl snapped, almost sagging under the weight of an over-full shovel-load. When had she gotten this weak?
"Fires are out!" called one of Clark's men.
"Drain 'em!" Clark ordered, dropping the shovel.
"I can't," said a different man, stationed up at the foreman's platform. "The controls are fried!"
Meryl finally met Clark's eye and they shared an expression of hopeless resignation.
"Meryl, the safety valves…"
"I know," growled Meryl.
Whatever fool architect designed the Humpback steamers—the boy's father, apparently—had gone for efficiency of space, but didn't know a damn thing about engineering. For one thing, the boilers were set in a line, port-to-starboard, instead of parallel to the direction of travel, fore and aft; that meant any blowout would unbalance the ship until another boiler had shut down on the other side, and that could take half an hour at the least.
Most importantly, the boilers were lined up side-by-side, instead of back-to back; this wasn't that important in the general management of the boilers, which were operated in sequence by the controls at the foreman's station. But all the manual controls, the safety valves to drain the boilers, were set far back along the side of the long cylindrical boilers so they could be operated individually in case of emergency. Aligned side-by side, it was almost impossible to reach the safety valves, and someone had to make their way between the hot iron boilers to do it.
And Meryl was the smallest.
She could hear Clark ordering the rest of his men out of the room as she made her way carefully between two massive boilers, desperate to keep from touching either of them. The steamer's constant rocking and bucking was only making it more difficult and terrifying; the last thing she wanted was to be knocked into the searing iron and be horribly burned.
Meryl reached the first manual valve release and pulled it, wincing at the heat against her palm. She could actually hear the water flushing away, travelling down through a giant pipe that would spit it onto the sand behind the steamer. Then she could hear the whine of metal becoming rapidly over-heated without the water to take most of the load.
A moment later Meryl was back from between the first boilers and just as quickly gone again between the next two. Her hair was clinging to her skull, sticking to the sweat at her brow line, and she pushed it out of her eyes.
Definitely in need of a haircut.
She'd ask Milly for a trim soon, if they all survived this.
Repeating the process, one by one, sliding between the boilers to drain them manually, Meryl felt her adrenaline-fueled strength waning. The steamer was slowing, but it was still scraping the side of the cliff in a jarring staccato.
"Meryl, we've done all we can, we're running out of time," Clark was shouting.
"I can do it," Meryl argued, stubbornly. "Just two more." She was panting, burning, hardly able to breathe the scalding hot air, beginning to feel faint.
"Get your ass out here, now!" Clark demanded.
When Meryl finally stumbled out from between the last two boilers, she fell and her hands burned against the floor when she tried to catch herself. Clark seized her around the middle and hauled her effortlessly up into his arms before racing for the door.
She wasn't sure she had energy left to stand, much less to run, so Meryl made no argument about being carried. Then the steamer gave one giant lurch under Clark's feet, the most violent yet, and sent the both of them sprawling.
"That's the brake," said Meryl, breathless. "He pulled the brake!"
"What?" asked Clark, baffled.
"I need to get Vash, Milly," Meryl said frantically, anxiety fueling her now. She scrambled up to her feet again, saying, "They're forward of the engines, up on the passenger decks!"
"You can't get there in time," said Clark, shaking his head. He grabbed her elbow and tried to pull her around. "We have to go back, you know how this ends!"
"Don't you dare," she hissed, and Clark looked back at her, almost scared at her reaction. Looking scared like the last time, thrown out of bed in the middle of the night, not knowing what had happed, running back to Alex, running until the floor disappeared into mid-air, looking out at nothing, finding half the steamer just gone, and Alex with it, and their room and her books, just gone…
"Meryl!" Clark had her by the shoulders now and he was shaking her.
"I should have been there!" Meryl shouted, guilt and fury and fear all warring for control of her emotions. "I should have been with him! Not with you!"
"Then you'd be dead," Clark said, his voice almost pleading now as he tried to lead her away again. Then they were both thrown unexpectedly against the corridor wall, strangely as though something had collided with them, knocking the steamer sideways. Meryl's body couldn't stand much more abuse and she lay where she fell, unmoving.
After a few minutes of lying still, breathing slowly, taking stock of all her injuries—did anything not hurt?—Meryl eventually realized that the steamer had actually stopped. There had been no deafening screech of metal tearing apart, no shuddering to a halt that had heralded the split of the steamer last time. Meryl had to conclude—thank god—that they were still in one piece.
But how?
She heard movement nearby and knew Clark was alright (or at least ambulatory).
"Meryl?" he called.
It only took Meryl a few moments to decide that she didn't want to talk anymore, and took the easy way out: she played dead.
"Meryl?" Clark said, again, his voice closer this time. Then: "Oh god—Meryl? Meryl!" She felt his hands touch her face, incredibly gently despite being so rough and worn from hard labor in the boiler room. Then his fingers found the pulse in her neck and Meryl heard him let out a juddering sigh of relief that bordered on a choked sob. Clark pulled her up into a tight embrace, burying his face in her shoulder whispering a muffled, "Thank god." Then she was shocked to feel his lips pressed gently to the skin of her neck. "I can't lose you again."
Meryl's guts twisted up in guilt. She had never known Clark actually cared for her like this, that she had ever been more than just another sexual conquest, and discovering it this way seemed unfair, to both of them. But it was too late to reveal herself now, so she let him gather her up in his arms and start walking.
She didn't know where he was going, and she didn't really care. Meryl had been counting the decks climbed when Clark first started walking, but she lost track as the steady pace of his feet and even beats of his heart lulled her into at least a half-sleep. She hardly heard anything happening outside Clark's arms, even as things became louder and more frantic around them as they moved higher and higher into the passenger decks.
Women were screaming, looking for their husbands and children, and crewmembers were hailing Clark, asking for information. Meryl heard their voices only as though from a distance as Clark turned each of them away. She wondered now where he was taking her.
"Wait—here, give her to me."
This voice was clearer, and Meryl felt another hand on her shoulder before Clark tightened his grip and turned away, pulling her out of the other man's reach.
"Hey!" he said, aggressively. "Who the hell are you?"
"I'm—I…I'm her—"
"Vash?" Meryl asked, opening her eyes as she finally recognized the voice.
Instantly she regretted not letting him finish that sentence; he's her what, exactly?
Clark was clearly shocked to find her so easily awakened, and Meryl felt that stab of guilt again, hoping… Hoping he didn't think she had done exactly what she did.
"It's okay, Clark," said Meryl, trying to push her way out of his arms. "You can put me down." He did so, very reluctantly, and when she immediately lost her balance both men jumped forward to catch her, which resulted in neither of them doing very well at it. For her part, Meryl clutched at Vash's arms and Clark backed off.
The next moment Vash was wrapping her in his jacket, so quickly that she didn't know how he could have managed to get it off himself first. Meryl held it around her shoulders and breathed in Vash's scent, letting it out again in a calming sigh.
She watched Clark's gaze shift from her face to Vash, over her shoulder, looking at the other man with an expression of cautious distrust. Then he looked back to her and she watched his eyes searching hers for something, she didn't know what.
Finally, Clark asked, "Why did you run away?"
"Now?" said Meryl, in weary disbelief. "You want to do this now?"
"Yeah," he replied, heatedly. "In case I don't see you for another six years!"
Meryl scowled and massaged her aching forehead.
"Alex was dead, the Gunsmoke was dead," she spat bitterly. "What was left for me there?"
"Me," said Clark, and now he looked so genuinely hurt that Meryl's earlier feelings of guilt returned tenfold. She looked away.
"I didn't know," she murmured. "My whole life had just…crashed to pieces. You know how Alex felt about me being there, anyway. So I left." Now Meryl could practically see a hundred more questions forming in Clark's mind, and she didn't want to answer any of them.
"You're foreman, Clark," said Meryl, quietly. "You need to see to the engines, and to your men."
Clark looked at her sadly. "Just…don't disappear again. Please."
He bent down toward her suddenly and Meryl panicked, stepping backward to collide with Vash. She rebounded off his chest but Vash reached around to catch her with a hand on her stomach, falling back a pace and pulling her with him.
Meryl found her balance again, but Vash still held his hand flat to her belly, as though to steady her. Inexplicably, Meryl realized she didn't mind.
Clark hesitated at her reaction, and Meryl saw him glance down at Vash's hand. Finally Clark finished his original motion, bending to kiss her cheek.
Vash's hand tensed against Meryl's stomach and she found herself drawn backward the remaining few iches between them, until her back rested against his chest. Heat radiated from him through the jacket she wore and Meryl's breath hitched at what felt like such an oddly possessive gesture.
When Clark drew back, he was staring at Vash with another cautious, uncertain expression and Meryl wondered what he was seeing in Vash now. Clark just looked down at her again and said, "Please, Meryl. We should talk." He turned and walked away, almost instantly surrounded by crewmen demanding answers.
Meryl watched him go in silence.
After a long moment, Vash spoke. "So you were on the Gunsmoke," he said, his voice unusually soft.
Meryl nodded without turning to face him. If she was honest, she enjoyed having him there, pressed up warm and solidly to her back.
"And you lost someone," he continued.
"Yeah," she replied, equally quietly.
"I'm sorry," said Vash.
Meryl was about to say, "It's okay," only something was wrong. Vash hadn't said, 'I'm sorry' the way people did at funerals, or when they hear something terrible has happened. He didn't say, 'I'm sorry' with the detached insincerity of someone too far removed from the tragedy.
He said, 'I'm sorry.'
And he meant it.
She turned to face Vash, pulling away from the comfort of his embrace, abruptly recalling all those rumors, the whispers that the Humanoid Typhoon had stowed away somewhere aboard the Gunsmoke on that voyage.
"I'm sorry," Vash said, again. His words were genuine and heartfelt, but his face was blank and his eyes seemed to look through her without seeing.
Still trying to make sense of this sudden realization, Meryl took a step backward and her heel caught the hem of Vash's long jacket, pulling it off her shoulders. On the next step she stumbled, and after too long without any real rest, after too much strain, Meryl's body finally gave out. She crumpled like a rag doll and Vash stepped forward to catch her.
She was slipping away into unconsciousness and Vash was laying her gently on the floor, cradling her head carefully as the last of her body to reach the hard metal surface.
Vash stooped to collect his jacket, and the last thing Meryl saw before her vision faded was black boots, red jacket, blond hair. Walking away.

A New Year’s resolution is a tradition, in which a person makes a promise to do an act of goodwill or self-improvement starting New Year’s Day.
We are all too familiar with some of these resolutions, for example:
Lose a few pounds
Start exercising
Improve mental well-being
Improve financial status
Self-improvement and personal development
Make new friends
Find that special person
Read more
Travel more, be more adventurous
Reduce stress
Make more money, save more money, spend less
Find a better job
Be more spiritual, find a connection with your creator
Give more, volunteer and be more philanthropic
Call your parents more often
Grow closer to your spouse and kids
Buy a pet
Get more clients and customers
This list can be as long as you have goals.
With deep religious origins, ancient civilizations were well versed in the practice.
Babylonians made promises to their gods at the start of each year. The Romans began each year by making promises to the God Janus. In the Medieval era, knights took the “peacock vow” at the end of the Christmas season each year in order to re-affirm their commitment to chivalry.
But don’t worry …they also broke promises and quit on their resolutions, just like we do!
Statistically, by January 15th ninety-five percent of people break, forget, or quit on their New Year’s resolutions.
But why?
We felt so committed to making changes. What made us walk away with such indifference just a few days later?
We’ve all done this, there’s no point in hiding or justifying it. There’s also no point in re-living it.
But, we need to first figure out why we failed in the past so that we know how not to blow it this New Year!
Here’s why we’ve failed in the past:
We weren’t asking the right questions!
Most of us, when faced with a challenge or goal, begin by asking a question …and it’s a good question, but it’s also a premature one!
What do I need to do? …to lose weight, to gain weight, to make more money, to be more social, to meet more people, to have the life I want.
We focus on the “What”. This is the wrong question, at absolutely the worse time!
In the quest for success at anything, you must first think strategically!
Here are the 3 keyquestions you need to be asking when looking to make changes:
The “Who”
The “Why”
The “What”
In this order!
Who do I need to become?In your mind, what do you aspire to be? … and start modeling that behavior even if you haven’t achieved the results you want. Find a role model, a mentor, or a powerful idea and start behaving congruently with that vision and in line with your newly created identity.
Why do I want to achieve this goal? If you don’t have a strong reason to change or achieve “that” something in your life, you will quit at the first sign of push back, and believe me, life will push back! So the stronger your reasons to stay in the fight, the better your chances to not only survive but thrive in adversity. Find a powerful reason, a meaningful “Why” …and look at it every day!
What do I need to do? Now it’s time to ask this question because your head’s in the right place! The first 2 questions get you in the right mindset. This question is about how to take massive action, set the parameters, figure out the tactics and the mechanics. What rituals and systems need to be in place for you to succeed? This question is about first organizing and then putting in the work and action that fuels your desire.
This 3 step formula has helped me achieve things in my life I never thought I could do. Now I’m passing it on.
I wish you Happy Holidays and a meaningful, permanent and successful New Year’s resolution!
“If you’re pitching your product to corporates, should you highlight their negatives, such as bad reviews on TripAdvisor for a travel company, or focus on positive solutions in order to explain true product benefits?”
This was an actual question on Quora.com I bumped into this morning. I thought it was a terrific question by the way, one that will come up time and time again if you make presentations to sell your products or services.
Here’s my answer –
[ I would approach it from a general viewpoint, yet addressing the issue:
“…one of the many special benefits this “widget” provides is reducing the customer service calls turn-around-time. A huge and usually justified source of customer discontent in over 90% of companies in your industry. This is currently costing your peers over 1 Billion in repeat business. Whomever can fix this issue the fastest, will most likely emerge as the market leader”
I usually stay away from indirectly blaming or pointing sticky fingers to the very people I’m trying to sell my services to.
Beside, many times the real issue is not what they think it is anyway. Usually the issue they tell you they are having is a symptom of the real problem. So if they bring up their pseudo-problems to the table, sure address them in the same way, but be empathetic in your approach and believable in your solution regardless.
When you focus on commonalities, benefits and solutions you can bring your point across in a more constructive and in a “let’s-get-you-in-front-of-the-pack” kind of way. ]
What would your approach be?
Would you focus on positive solutions to make a sale or would you point out defects and weak links to sell such solutions?
Lately when I’ve talk to entrepreneurs not familiar with Kennedy Style Marketing, whether they are a client of mine or not already, I point them in this direction. It’s amazing how easier it is to talk marketing strategy with someone who has this kind of home-field advantage.
That’s why I want to share one of my favorite articles from him with you …here it goes!
What You Accept, You Get
Here’s a secret I’ve discovered about millionaire and multi-millionaire entrepreneurs: they want what they do and their companies do to be right. Not 80% right. Not 90% right. Right, period. They are, therefore, very much disliked by a lot of people, and if they are “big” enough, by the media. Jobs. Bezos. Trump. Working for them, many ex-employees say, was hell. But maybe it was being incompetent in their employ that was hell.
Winning isn’t just a statistic on a spreadsheet or a bank account balance. It is the customer, Mrs. Matilda Smith, in Rockford, Illinois, getting what she asked for on her pizza or the right product in the delivered package or a human answering her call in fewer than four rings. Customer appreciation is not a once a year sale or an automated thank you e-mail. It is an authentic attitude, top-down, permeated throughout an organization, actually occurring – and measured, policed and enforced – every day. I don’t care how big your company, if you don’t actually care about the people, the individuals, giving you money, they will drift off in search of a place where they feel valued and appreciated.
Another secret about rich entrepreneurs: they don’t just seek success. They HATE failure.
They often react to it violently. Martha Stewart was known to drop into a K-Mart store, find her branded goods sloppily stocked and throw the entire inventory from shelves onto the floor. Eisner instantly fired a group of Disney Park employees caught not smiling. Walt had a fit over one’s lousy delivery of The Jungle Cruise script. I saw Trump tear an empty towel dispenser from a restroom wall in a Trump hotel and throw it 20 yards down a hall.
These people are said to terrorize their employees, their associates, their vendors. But how calmly should you accept failure? Should you “stay calm and carry on”? Only if you want more of the failure you calmly accept. If your blood doesn’t boil and offenders see fire shoot from your eyeballs, your lesser response will be taken as permission. If there is failure and new training, new controls, new supervision is not installed as remedy, the “let’s TRY and do better” will be taken as permission.
There are places where incompetence as failure has dire and instant consequences. The jailer who forgets to lock the inmate’s cell or misses the razor blade in the body search may wind up quickly dead. It’s a fine object lesson for other jailers. The cruise ship captain who is busy texting and gets into too-shallow water and capsizes and sinks the whole thing, and injures and drowns passengers, goes to prison. As it should be.
Creating dire and instant consequences for incompetence and failure is a good thing in any and every business. I’ve told of Chuck Sekeres’ “3 strikes and you’re out” for his in-bound telemarketers: three calls in a row without a set appointment, you’re out. Next batter up. No quarterly performance evaluations. Don’t even wait to be told. After 3, get up and slink out. Minute by minute. Drop three passes in a game, butt on bench. If possible, traded. Fail at managing the V.A., the IRS and Benghazi, shouldn’t three strikes be enough? They tried to impeach Clinton over one intern. I used the word RUTHLESS in my book title “No BS Management of People and Profits” because, damn it, we desperately need a lot more ruthlessness in a lot more places. In homes, in neighborhoods, in small businesses, in big companies, in government. You can start with you.
So what did you think? They don’t call him “The Professor of Harsh Reality” for nothing right?

Sales Techniques that Work in Real Life!
So you are probably thinking, you need to be persistent, pesty, pushy and get across salesy in order to come away with what the title of this post implies.
But it’s actually the opposite… By the way an important distinction I’d like to make in relation to this topic before we get into it is the following:
In “Sales Techniques That Work!“, Not getting a response and getting a “No” or “Not Interested” are two totally different reactions from prospects or existing clients.
The thing is that many times we interpret “not getting a response” as a “No”. Don’t do that!
There could me many reasons why someone is not responsive to you for example, they lack time, they might be assuming you are way above their budget, they haven’t seen your ad or email invite, they are too busy to engage with you at the moment or maybe you haven’t communicated your offer effectively, who knows!
Whatever the reason, don’t assume their answer is no, until you hear it. But even if No is their answer, well that’s what this post is all about …Here we go!
Here’s Step #1
Understand these sales techniques first and save yourself a lot of anguish and self-doubt:
Most everyone says NO the first time, and if they don’t say it they think it!
No one likes to be sold, but almost everyone loves to buy stuff they feel they need!
[Warning] – We are assuming that what you have to offer ACTUALLY solves a problem and helps people Ok!
Start by genuinely having a conversation about the things giving them the most headaches and challenges, then IF and only IF you can help then position your solution naturally and without pressure.
Don’t try to sell an aspirin to someone who doesn’t have a headache -if you can’t help then offer support and point them to someone in your network of friends and associates who can.
Remember these easy sales techniques when you hear “No” or “Not Interested”
Don’t take No(s) personally
Find out what they are really saying NO to!
Reposition your offer, idea or hook in mid-flight if you have to
Don’t go for the sale, go for the 15 min presentation!
Scale the process and get micro-commitments
Here’s Step #2
Once is never enough… you need to show genuine and unwavering consistency!
You MUST have a strategic and consistent value-based follow up…
What does that mean? Most sales professionals and service oriented entrepreneurs do not have a follow up strategy or specific sales techniques. Your follow up needs to have 3 essential elements:
Follow up with genuine concern – “last time we spoke you were wrestling with the issue of [ blank], is that still the case?”
Have a value-based offer/solution – “…thinking about our conversation recently it occurred to me this might help, Are you familiar with [blank]?
Have a calendar mindset – “…on that topic I’m hosting a webinar on this day [blank]” or “I have some ideas that I think might help you, do you have 10 minutes for a Skype chat tomorrow at 1 pm?
You can word these anyway it fits you but follow up the essence of each point and watch the results!
And finally Step #3
In Sales Success this one is a total mind shift in terms of approach, it might take you a while, but once you get it you are at a whole different level than your peers!
You don’t make a sale to get a client, you get a client in order to make a sale!
Most sales professionals actually think and want to make money on their first encounter. This is a big mistake!
When it comes to building serious loyalty and goodwill and in essence build a strong customer or client base you need to give away your best stuff at cost!
Listen to me! –YOUR BEST AT COST!
This achieves success in 3 critical areas of your business:
Authority – you establish yourself as an expert
Build trust – an essential virtue in long term business relationships
Grow you list – a critical component of the longevity and strength of your business is how large your list is and your relationship with it!
Those that are willing to spend the most on acquiring and building their list will come out on top every time! Hope you can put this to work right away! It’s simple, make a list of pending follow ups, new contacts and sleepy referrals and craft your approach following these 3 easy steps!
I mean …even radio stations have a 5 O’clock horn letting you know you are now “FREE”. You have 2 days to roam the country side, let some steam off and run wild until Monday when you HAVE to come back to your self made prison for the next five days, for what they decide to pay you btw, and this you will do 72% of your God-given time for the rest of your life.
Are you kidding me!!?
This may not be you, but if you desperately look forward to Fridays 5 pm, see Wednesday as “hump day” and Monday is a day from Hell …then my contention is you are not very happy with your chosen business or profession, you may not admit this in public, but you are not a very happy guy or gal.
If you see the weekend as a temporary escape route, a time to unwind, unplug and have a chance to be “YOU” at least for 28% of your time, then I think you may need to re-evaluate your life and ask yourself a simple question: Why Am I Doing This?
The main reason you are not happy is not because you have to do it all over again on Monday, but because you are not in control of your life, someone or something else is …and WE … YOU were not meant to live that way!
If you are aware of this… Good for you! The question then is: “What are you going to do about it …How can you be “YOU” 7 days a week?”
So get busy working on a Plan where you control your time, because if you control your time …you control your life.
If you got upset at reading this, well you probably didn’t read this far … But GOOD if you did get upset! You are supposed to, because there is no hope or cure for those that feel nothing.
My advice is, take some time to think about your time in a different way, try owning it for a change, understand how precious it is, because it’s limited. So how do you want to spend it?
How do you want to spend it doing the things you want, deserve and were meant to be doing!
If you knew absolutely nothing about the Outdoors and you decided to go camping in the wilderness for three straight weeks, what would you need to take with you?
Most people start a venture like that thinking about the tools, I need to have all the tools and the latest camping shiny objects because let’s face it, tools are important when outdoors, without tools you can die! But let’s talk about the sequence, the mindset and process you should have to prepare for such event… right?
Not too long ago I took a 15 day course (Paid!) on how to set up a web based business from A-Z. I did it in 5 days. Now I know how to do that already, that’s my business, but if that’s the case why did I take that course? I knew 90% of that stuff already! To some people that would be a total waste of time and money right?
Not to me… and here’s why:
1. You Must Always Be Working On Your Craft… Going back to basics and working on them is what professionals do. Watch Tiger Woods hit the range and swing at 1000 balls after every round. Watch Michael Phelps repeat endless sets of boring and trivial drills specific to each stroke day after day. Watch Rafa Nadal work out. How many times does he practice the same swing, and tell me if you are willing to do that in your profession to stay on top of your game.
The truth is, most people don’t and then they wonder why they can’t elevate their game, work with people they want to work with, at the hours the prefer to and make the money they want!
In this particular case I was about to embark on a totally new different Industry and I needed to know how what I knew applied to to it… so a refresher it’s always a great way to get in the right mindset. But also a refresher course taught by someone with better results than me.
Always work on the basics of your craft as taught by mentors and leaders in your profession in order to elevate your game!
2. ( Most Important!) Doing #1 Keeps Me Centered On The WHY, Not The HOW…Here’s a big secret on why most people completely screw up worthwhile goals and ventures even before they start!
Ready? …Most people believe they have to know the HOW before they make a decision and take action, when in reality what they need is a real strong purpose behind it, the WHY. So because they don’t have a clear Why they take forever, if at all, to take ACTION while hiding and wasting precious time on figuring out the HOW.
99% of reasons why people don’t get off their butt to do what they’ve always wanted and as a result live the live they’ve always dreamed of is because they think they have to know HOW to do it before making a die-hard DECISION to actually do it! – If you make a decision it’s done! You’ve decided and not anything or anyone it’s going to dissuade you. Now you breakdown the HOW- and get to work, but it’s going to get DONE! The decision has been made.
This is the biggest mental trap to prosperity and success our species suffers from, it’s endemic and hereditary, and it’s the #1 cause of broken dreams World Wide!
See whatever HOW you choose, it’s going to be a tough ride no matter what …the HOW won’t help you to stay the course. Only the WHY can help you do that.
So before starting your home-based business in search of financial independence, deciding to do a channel swim, lose 50 pounds, or go into early retirement, figure out the WHY and have a clear vision why you are doing it …so that when things get tough, and they will, you are not the first one to QUIT while blaming everything and everyone but yourself.
Quitters forget their WHY and blame the HOW …Winners never forget WHY they are doing what their doing, and they figure out the HOW as they charge ahead.
If you have a strong PURPOSE and a powerful WHY you can stay in the fight as long as a takes, nothing and I mean nothing that gets thrown at you will be powerful enough to derail you and change your destiny, which is to be anything you want and deserve to BE!

House Democrats Planning Push to Make Private Gun Sales Illegal
Dems plan to introduce new legislation that will criminalize private firearm sales
House Democrats plan to make private gun sale illegal once new Congress is in session
House Democrats are planning to push for new legislation that will criminalize private sales of guns in the United States.
Dems plan to introduce the new anti-gun measure as soon as the new Congress is in sessions, according to reports.
A report by Mother Jones reveals that Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) has held meetings with gun control groups that included Everytown for Gun Safety, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, the Center for American Progress, and Gabby Giffords’ group.
During these meets, Thompson reportedly asked them what the Democratic Party can do for them, and a bill to make private gun sales illegal was high on their list of priorities.
"While the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right of private citizens to keep and bear arms, there are some limits and regulations on how they are sold and who may possess them.
"Federally licensed firearms dealers are required by federal law to conduct background checks on prospective buyers, but private (unlicensed) sellers are not.
"Some states require background checks for private sales, usually through a licensed intermediary, but others have few to no regulations on private gun sales."
Mike Thompson asked anti-gun groups what the Democratic Party can do to help them
Ironically, a ban on private sales would not have stopped a single mass shooting witnessed to this point in the 21st century because nearly every mass shooter acquires his guns at retail via a background check.
The exceptions to the rule are the mass shooters who steal their guns.
While the Democrats’ gun control push will not prevent mass shootings, it will criminalize a grandfather for passing his goose gun to his grandson without government permission.
It will also criminalize a mother who gives her college-age daughter a revolver for self-defense without first getting government permission.

Tip about the adhesive tape is a good one. I'm happy with the protection and it doesn't affect the sensitivity of your iPad. Would recommend to anyone who wanted to buy. (Posted on 08/02/2014)

A MUST HAVE ACCESSORY. Review by David
Overall
I recently purchased this item as a Christmas present for my Daughter-in-Law as my son had purchased an iPad for her (also for Christmas). I knew the product would be top quality as I had previously purchased Magicscreen protectors for my iPad and Mini iPad and also for my partners Mini iPad.
Once in place you simply forget you have anything over the screen as the protectors are invisible and virtually scratch free.
A definite must have, also easy to apply, buy one you will not be disappointed.

Great product as always from Media Devil. Review by Gordon
Overall
This screen protector is of the same excellent quality as the previous MediaDevil products I have purchased. Screen clarity and operation is unaffected and it is so reassuring that my investment in the iPad is protected as best as it can be.
The only downside for MediaDevil is that if it is as durable as my MediaDevil iPhone screen protectors I shan't need a replacement for years to come. Thanks folks for another great product. (Posted on 18/01/2014)
Highly Recommended. Review by Catherine
Overall
My daughter recommended Media Devil to me for my new iPad. It took both protectors to get it right, but that was our incompetence. Good instructions.
Delivery was extremely quick, the sweeties were a nice touch! And we thought it was so good my husband ordered a protector for his iPhone.
5 stars in every respect. (Posted on 14/12/2013)

Perfect for the ipad. Review by Panagiotis
Overall
I followed the instructions and applied the protector on the large ipad screen. I removed some dust particles that were trapped, by adhesive tape.
Even though that at the edge there were some minor bubbles the next day were disappeared. No bubbles or imperfections at the whole screen now.! The result now is PERFECT. you cannot distinguish if this ipad has a protector or not.! Thank you(Posted on 04/04/2013)
Fab Product. Review by Siobhan
Overall
Ordered my goods & received them in less than 24 hours, with email confirmation. Couldn't ask for anything more.
I bought the Media Devil screen protectors for my iPad previously when I first bought my iPad & they went on using the enclosed instructions & help videos on YouTube, which were invaluable. This made fitting the protectors easier. They did their job protecting the screen of the iPad & keeping fingerprint marks less obvious & the screen greasy looking. Fitting my new screen protector this time around from this purchase was less intimidating & the product is just as excellent.
I did end up with air bubbles but sticky tape sorted this out for me & got rid of those.
Fantastic service & product. (Posted on 25/03/2013)
Great product!. Review by Wallace
Overall
I read a recommendation of this screen protector and it swayed my decision to buy one. I'm glad I did. The whole transaction was speedy and flawless.
The product itself is also excellent, its a pity is't oleophobic , but then, it wasn't marketed as being so.
I was dreading installing it. It was hard enough it fit a screen protector (not Media Devil) on my iPhone 5 so the larger screen had me worried.
However, provided you clean and prepare well enough, its no problem. In fact it was much easier than I expected.
You really have to look closely to see its there at all. But I now have confidence that my screen and investment is as well protected as it can be (Posted on 23/03/2013)
Great service and top quality screen protector. Review by Andrew

Media Devil are very efficient with the order. Had the screen protector delivered within a day and was kept informed all the time at what stage the order was.
Installed the screen and as it states on the webpage. Crystal clear, no bubbles. One is not even aware that the screen protector is on it. (Posted on 04/02/2013)

Was looking for a screen protector for my ipad that was thin enough so I would not lose any retina display and still maintain some protection for my ipad from scratches.

Excellent. Review by Dean
Overall
The iPhone 5 crystal clear edition screen protector is excellent. So easy to install, perfect cut outs for FaceTime camera and home button and earpiece make it simple to align perfectly. Once installed you can't even tell there's a screen protector on the phone, takes absolutely no clarity away from the screen and it is just as responsive when typing. Easily the best screen shield I've used, and that includes the SGP crystal clear also. 5/5. (Posted on 27/12/2012)
Brilliant. Review by Garreth

As usual, another great product from Media Devil. I was actually only expecting 1 screen protector for the iPad however this came with 2 just like the iPhone ones. I applied the screen protector first time and it looks great. As usual we get 2 sweets with it too! A lovely treat after applying your screen protector! (Posted on 22/12/2012)

Best protector for IPad 4 :). Review by Robert Webster
Overall
After getting this as a replacement for not reading the info for the matte black bubble free protector I can say this is the best protector for the ipad4. It is as it says crystal clear and u can't tell it's on. I followed the video installation guide on fitting it in a steamy bathroom and it applied first time, the few bubbles I had pushed out easily. (I've had some practice on mine and my girlfriends iPhones )
Now I emailed yourselfs about the problem I had with the matte one, I was emailed back very quickly by Bianca explaining where I had one wrong and offering me this as a replacement instead. I received it the next day. They couldn't be more helpfully and it was a pleasure emailing them.
Needless to say I give the protector and customer service 10/10 :)
Thanks very much for all you have done, and I will continue to use your products in the future :) (Posted on 12/12/2012)

Absolute Quality. Review by James
Overall
Recently purchased this item through Amazon after a good previous experience with buying the like product for my Iphone4 in the past. What can I say, its a great product. Amongst a minefield of screen protectors to choose from this one stands out - well priced, swiftly delivered, well packaged (free sweets are a nice touch), easy to fit and if fitted properly (which I had no problems with first time - bubble free!) you wouldnt even knnow there was a protector applied! Invisible and Crystal Clear, does what it says on the tin! Would recommend and will keep coming back to Media Devil for like products. Well Done. (Posted on 03/10/2012)

Outstanding screen protector. Review by Steve
Overall
Bought this for my iPad, looked at some others (Belkin) and decided to go for this one after reading the reviews on Amazon. Ordered from their main website as Amazon were out of stock (wonder why). The reason they were out of stock is because this screen protector is fantastic, you would not know it was on the screen, no blurring and your finger slides across the screen as if it were the ipad screen. I am going to buy the screen protector from this company for my next Smartphone.
Wonderful job guys will recommend you! :-) but you have a Facebook link and no Twitter one on this page??(Posted on 10/08/2012)

Excellent product as ever from Media Devil. Review by Dan
Overall
Relatively easy to apply (highly recommend the "steamy bathroom" method) and once it's on you wouldn't know its tere. No noticeable glare, fingers slide across the screen guard just as well as they would on an unprotected ipad.
Highly recommended. (Posted on 16/07/2012)
Great Screen Protector and Service. Review by James
Overall
Amazed how screen fitted, as with most screens that I have fitted to phones etc. they are a bit difficult to line up and achieve no bubbles. However I followed some of the tips given (steamed up bathroom method) and I was totally amazed with the final application with no bubbles from trapped air or dust, the finished look was if it had melted into my iPad, . Amazing a first for me. (Posted on 11/07/2012)
Excellent product - detailed instructions and support. Review by James
Overall
I am very pleased. Follow up email and instructions from the company greatly appreciated. Used the hot shower routine and was able to install on first try without any bubbles. The matching stylus also works well. Far superior to a competitor's screen that I purchased recently at much higher price with disastrous results. (Posted on 07/07/2012)

Good product. Review by Doogie Hauser MD

Found it a struggle to put on without getting air bubbles. Perhaps I'll try the next time in a steamy bathroom as some recommend. Still a very good product though.

I love this screen protector. It may be slightly more complicated in terms of putting it on, but by no means difficult, and definitely 100% worth it. No distorting images, keeps the retina display. Highly, highly recommended! (Posted on 17/05/2012)
Brilliant service and quality product!!!. Review by Joey
Overall
I recently purchased the Magicscreen screen protector - Crystal Clear (Invisible) Edition - Apple iPad 3 and it was very hard to put on and after 2 attempts I ran out of screens. I expressed these concerns to Media Devil and they were very sympathetic to my problem and gave me some tips to make sure I got it right and to my delight sent me 2 extra screens to have another go. In my 3rd attempt I made sure I did it in the shower with good lighting and got it bang on, perfect....you can't even tell I have screen protector its so clear. I recommend this company highly not for just quality products and but for an absolutely brilliant service, outstanding!! :-) (Posted on 16/05/2012)
Fantastic product but patience is a virtue when it comes to fitting!. Review by Christopher
Overall
I've used the crystal clear screen & rear protectors for several iPhones and always been impressed. When I got an iPad 3 there was only one choice for a screen protector.
Dispatch was fast and packaging was excellent (sweets were a bonus too!)
Dust is your enemy when fitting this screen protector though given the size of the iPad screen. Having fitted numerous iPhone screen protectors this iPad version was significantly more difficult.
My advice is mist the iPad screen and protector contact surface with water as this allows multiple attempts of placing the protector and makes eliminating air bubbles easier. I'd also reccommend stick tape in all 4 corners to allow you to lift the protector to emilimate air bubbles/dust etc.
Well worth the patience and perseverance with fitting though as this protector is excellent! Causes no friction and is hardly noticeable if you have taken your time fitting.
Highly reccomended. (Posted on 03/05/2012)

Great Product & Service. Review by IOMSarah
Overall
After previously buying a more expensive screen protector from another company & having a total nightmare trying to applying it I was nervous about applying this one. But I need not have been. After watching the guide on YouTube & following the advice it went on a dream. My iPad 3 retina display is still as crystal clear as it was before. I am thrilled to bits & the service from MediaDevil was amazing too - thank you. One very happy customer. (Posted on 01/05/2012)
Ideal screen protection for my new iPad. Review by Brian
Overall
Supurb product just right for my new iPad. I found that the steamed up bathrom method allowed me to fit the protector free of any dust and bubbles. Like others I would advise you to be well prepared, take your time and be amazed at the final results.
Callum and the MediaDevil team provide a second to none customer service, for which I am extremely grateful - I would highly recommend this product. (Posted on 26/04/2012)

Looks the business !. Review by 21alpha
Overall
Ok, despite following advice and the steamy bathroom method I still managed to get a tiny dust spec bubble under the protecter, but not enough to panic about to make me use the 2nd protecter from the pack.
This was my fault as I took too long to apply the protecter when all the steam had dissappeared from the bathroom and the family kept coming into the bathroom and no doubt bringing dust with them.
The steam definitley helped in preventing any air bubble, and would have done the same with the tiny dust spec if I was quick enough.
Bit fiddly on the bog seat though and I think next time I will simply use a desk in a clean room.
Along with the MD magic wand that Callum kindly sent me (another story) this is a perfect combination.
Dont hesitate to buy MD products over the alternatives. Ok, they might be slightly more expensive, but as my old Gran used to say "You get what you pay for".
Customer service by Callum is second to none. (Posted on 20/04/2012)
Clearly the best!. Review by Adam
Overall
Having purchased a number of screen protectors for my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 I had no hesitation in purchasing another for my new iPad 3. Rather than the easyscreen matte finish I had usually bought for the iPad (due to ease of application) I opted for the crystal clear magicscreen to continue enjoying the new retina display clarity. I was concerned about air bubbles and dust but followed others advice and applied it in a steamy bathroom to reduce dust. To my amazement it went on first time with NO bubbles etc. Its so good you wouldn't even know it was there! Very happy customer and as usual it arrived the next day. You guys are reliable, helpful and have a great product! (Posted on 20/03/2012)

I know some folk are stating it was tricky to put on, I may just have been lucky but I followed the instructions and got screen protector attached 1st time with no problems and no non removable bubbles, had screen protector on around a 6-8 weeks or so now, no peeling , no difference in responsiveness of screen, even when ipad is in a waterproof pouch I use for reading ebooks in the bath, (Posted on 12/10/2011)
'Invisible' it is. Review by Davidm
Overall
After fitting the iPhone 4 front and back protectors from Phonedevil I decided to tackle my iPad 2 with all that screen estate to get it wrong.
I needn't have worried.
Like the iPhone, follow the instructions, take your time and you will have no issues. Lining up the protector at the start is the key to success and once you have that nailed it is a case of moving the protector down the screen and clearing any bubbles etc. away with the supplied device.
I have seen other protectors friends have on their iPads and none come close to the Phonedevil one. (In fact, I am sure it has generated some orders.)
Top tip is to make sure you are as thorough as possible when you clean the screen prior to fitting. Specks of dust etc. will show up if you don't.
Great product and great service. Recommended.(Posted on 04/09/2011)
Very good results. Review by SidB
Overall
Took a bit of effort, but I am very pleased with the results. The protector is a very close fit to the iPad 2 so you can't notice it once on, but aligning it perfectly for the camera and the home button took some work. Also, had to lift a couple of corners to get rid of dust, but got there in the end. (Posted on 21/06/2011)
Top rate protector. Review by SidB
Overall
Not the cheapest, but not the priciest either. Having seen others' protectors with accompanying bubbles, I think this is about as good as it can get. Not eas
y to put on, but safe in the knowledge that I had a spare in the pack, I managed to do a nearly perfect job - one edge never quite went back down properly after I lifted it to remove a dust speck, otherwise, as described, invisible. Typing this now on the iPad with no difference in responsiveness. Thoroughly recommended. (Posted on 15/06/2011)
This is the screen protector you need!. Review by Will
Overall
Always have used Phonedevil's magic screen protectors for my iphones and now iPad2. Exceptional quality and fixed so well on to phone/ipad. Hardly or no finger print marks on the surface. Fingers can glide easily over the glossy and bright screen. I have used other brands and none have came close to Magic Screen Protector. (Posted on 13/06/2011)
5 Star Product and Service. Review by stevie1965
Overall
What can I say about these guys?
Well, for starters my iPad 2 Screen Protector arrived LESS THAN 24 hours after I placed the order.
Next, the packaging and appearance of the protectors was top quality.
Thirdly the protectors themselves are absolutely first rate. I followed the suggestions in the demonstration video on the website to help with application as I was very nervous about achieving a good result on such a large surface area and it turned out perfectly! Not an air bubble in sight.
One month down the line and the protector is still in perfect condition, no lifting or peeling has occurred and it really is invisible on my iPad. The enclosed cleaning cloth is great for removing the inevitable finger prints that build up.
Overall I can't fault either the product or the service from these guys, I wish more internet based companies were such a pleasure to deal with - oh and the addition of a couple of small fruit flavoured chews in the packing when I opened it really made me smile and gives a good indication of the ethos of this company.(Posted on 13/06/2011)

The iPad 2 Crystal Clear screen protector is simply, the finest product there is. Better than ALL of the other guys (ZAGG), charging twice the price.

About Magicscreen
I cannot find a screen protector for my device on your website. How do I know if you do/will sell screen protectors for it?
All upcoming products that we have confirmed we will be selling are listed there, and you can sign up for an email notification of when the product you are waiting for becomes available.
If the product you would like is not listed, please complete our Product Request form and we will discuss it in our weekly product range meeting (your requests
do genuinely get heard).
What is the difference between your Magicscreen and Easyscreen screen protectors?
Magicscreen
Magicscreen uses the ‘static-cling’ screen protector format that most of the world’s leading screen protector brands use. It is the most commonly used format of screen protector by a very large margin.
Our protectors do not use adhesive to stick to the screen, they use an electrostatically charged silicon layer that sucks/secures the protector to the device screen using an ‘electrostatic-cling’ produced vacuum.
This is how our protectors can be easily removed without residue/markings being left on the device screen.
Easyscreen
Easyscreen is our ‘next generation’ screen protector for large screen devices, and the result of many months of research.
Unlike ‘regular’ format screen protectors like Magicscreen, Easyscreen does not stick to the viewable area of the screen. This means that that air or dust bubbles will never occur on the viewable screen area during the application of Easyscreen.
Adhesive is only used around the Easyscreen border, which is coloured to ensure that any air trapped under it is not visible.
This colouring of the border has allowed us to offer a range of ten different colours.
Due to the way that it works, Easyscreen can only be produced for certain devices, primarily large screen devices.
Due to the Laws of Physics, Easyscreen can also only be produced in our Matte Clear edition. It is not possible to create a Crystal Clear edition Easyscreen.
What is the difference between your Crystal Clear and Matte Clear (Anti-Glare) screen protector editions?
The main difference is the surface texture:
- Our Matte Clear (Anti-Glare) edition has a frosted matte surface which reduces screen glare.
It also feels really nice to touch (although it may take you a few hours to get used to), nicer than the regular screen texture in our opinion.
Our Matte Clear edition is very popular in particular for tablet devices, as it greatly aids reading the screen outside in sunny conditions.
Matte material protectors do produce a slight pixellation of the screen, as this is the natural effect created by the Matte (anti-glare) frosted texture. It is simply an unavoidable 'Law of Physics', and you should forget about it after a few hours once you stop consciously thinking about it.
You will see this pixellation on all anti-glare screen protectors from all brands (many of which are noticeably more extreme than ours). Apple's matte screen monitors (and professional television industry monitors) display it also, as it is simply unavoidable.
If you require a perfectly ‘crystal clear’ screen, then we strongly recommend using our (glossy surfaced) Crystal Clear edition instead, which is invisible when applied to the device screen, and does not affect its clarity in any way.
- Our Crystal Clear (Invisible) edition uses a glossy surface texture.
It is invisible on your phone when applied, and feels like your device’s natural screen. It does not affect the device’s screen glare or clarity in any way.
Glossy screen protectors do inevitably attract fingerprints, like a regular device screen does.
Some of the latest electronic device screens have a very expensive ‘oleophobic’ (anti-fingerprint) surface layer, and therefore you may notice extra fingerprinting if using a glossy screen protector on them.
For example: The iPhones 3GS/4/4S have an anti-fingerprint screen surface, whereas the iPhone 3G and the iPad 1/iPad 2 do not have it. Our Crystal Clear edition protector therefore provides the same fingerprint resistance as the latter devices.
Does your Matte Clear (Anti-Glare) edition affect the clarity of the device screen?
Matte material protectors do produce a slight pixellation of the screen, as this is the natural effect created by the Matte (anti-glare) frosted texture. It is simply an unavoidable 'Law of Physics', and you should forget about it after a few hours once you stop consciously thinking about it.
You will see this pixellation on all anti-glare screen protectors from all brands (many of which are noticeably more extreme than ours). Apple's matte screen monitors (and professional television industry monitors) display it also, as it is simply unavoidable.
If you require a perfectly ‘crystal clear’ screen, then we strongly recommend using our (glossy surfaced) Crystal Clear edition instead, which is invisible when applied to the device screen, and does not affect its clarity in any way.
Will your screen protectors affect either the sensitivity of my device’s touch screen, or the light/proximity sensor under the screen?
Our screen protectors do not affect the sensitivity of touch screens or light/proximity sensors in any way. In fact, you are even able to use our Magicwand capacitive touch screen stylus when one of our screen protectors is applied.
Do your screen protectors cover the front facing camera or the light/proximity sensor in the device screen?
Our protectors have a purpose cut hole for front facing cameras (to prevent any light ‘flaring’ from appearing in photos).
In the vast majority of cases, our protectors do cover the light/proximity sensor, as (unlike products from competing brands) they do not affect the sensitivity of the sensor.
There are two different types of screen protector: ‘hard’ unscratchable protectors, and ‘soft’ scratch-resistant protectors. They are rather different to each other, and both have their own advantages and limitations compared to the other.
Our protectors are the ‘soft’ static-cling scratch-resistant type (i.e. they protect your device ‘from’ scratches, rather than being totally resistant to scratches themselves).
This format is the most popular type of screen protector by a very large margin, and most of the world’s leading screen protector brands also use it.
Our protectors are more (or equally) resistant to scratches than all directly competing scratch-resistant screen protector products, and provide a high level of protection for your screen (even if they pick up scratches themselves).
To prevent the screen protectors themselves from getting scratched, treat your device well by keeping it away from keys and other sharp objects. Keys do huge damage to device screens, and can easily result in hairline scratching of the protectors if you keep them in the same pocket.
It would be possible for us to make our protectors more resistant to scratches, however this would remove the friction of the surface texture, and as a result they would not feel smooth to touch.
One major issue with the protectors that claim to be unscratchable, is that they do feel very rubbery, and affect the user's enjoyment of their device. That is not something we wish our customers to experience, and therefore we do not range unscratchable protectors. Our protectors provide benefits in other areas.
Please see this link to our troubleshooting guide for a detailed comparison of our protector format versus 'unscratchable' protectors like Zagg’s InvisibleShield (the best known ‘unscratchable’ screen protector).
You may want to read Amazon reviews of the InvisibleShield to see if it is perhaps a product better suited to your requirements.
Please note that Zagg do not sell a Matte 'unscratchable' screen protector, because it is not achievable as Matte material is a bit softer than glossy material, and scratches are also more obvious due to the frosted texture.

Warner Bros Entertainment and Seibu Holdings plan to open a Harry Potter theme park in Tokyo, Japan by spring 2023. The attraction would be located on part of the land that currently houses Toshimaen.
According to Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun, Toshimaen operator Seibu Holdings is considering closing the amusement park in Nerima in stages, starting this year.
Seibu Holdings is in talks with US movie studio Warner Bros and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to finalise the Harry Potter attraction.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government will buy the majority of the 22-hectare Toshimaen site from Seibu Group, with Warner Bros building a theme park on the remaining land.
Toshimaen rides and attractions to close in stages
The current rides, attractions and swimming facilities at Toshimaen will gradually close, and a decision on the Potter park is expected to be made in spring 2020.
It’s thought the theme park will be similar to Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter, in which visitors can tour the studio sets of Harry Potter.
The studio tour-style project will be different to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter areas at Universal Parks and Resorts, which include rides and attractions.
Earlier this year, the highly-themed and immersive Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure opened at Universal Orlando Resort.
Theme park will be like Warner Bros. Studio Tour London
It features rich sets, rare magical creatures, groundbreaking coaster technology and a captivating storyline.
Meanwhile, Harry Potter stores at Heathrow, Gatwick and King’s Cross generated more than $26m of revenue during a 15-month period across 2018 and 2019.
This follows news that Warner Bros is expanding its retail offering, opening the first official Harry Potter flagship store this summer in New York City.

If you own a business then you likely own a website, and that means you need to understand online marketing, but a lot of website owners out there aren't familiar with the steps you need to take in order to be successful online. Most people see it as too difficult to learn because it's technical and there's a lot of data, but those are just numbers, and you can teach yourself anything if you just try.
You can always hire a company to do your social media marketing, search engine optimization, search engine marketing, branding, etc. but you're not really learning anything and that means you won't know what to do if the people you're paying to do a job simply stop. I get it, you may be busy and don't have time to do it on your own, but that's when you need to sit down and read for an hour on open forums or blogs and learn it little by little. You can implement strategies and methods in order to boost your rankings, bring in sales, brand your business, and pretty much anything else. Sure, you may take longer to learn everything, but I can honestly say I don't know anything and I'm still a specialist in this field, so what's your excuse for not teaching yourself online marketing?
People are too busy to learn new things
Like I mentioned above, people always say they're too busy to learn new things like online marketing, but that's the biggest excuse I've heard in this industry. How often have people come home to just sit on the couch and watch TV or go out to dinner with friends? I would say that they likely do this 3 or 4 times a week, and that's the time when you could be learning about online marketing, which will push your business and website even closer towards success.
People assume it's difficult to learn
One of the biggest misconceptions in the online marketing world is that it's difficult to learn, and it really isn't as long as you put in the time and effort to really learn it. If you treat this as a job, you will learn it, you just have to dedicate yourself to the learning process and you can't think of it like when you were in school. Even though online marketing revolves around your native language, math, and a lot of other things you've learned in school, it's nothing like that and you need to think a little different.
If you can see this as a thing you're learning, that no one around you is talking about, you can likely learn it quickly because you don't think the way that you were taught in school. This isn't a difficult thing to learn, it's difficult to rank for competitive niches in a short amount of time, but in the end, it's not actually difficult. People tie difficulty with time invested, but that's just because the vast majority of us are impatient and don't want to put a ton of time into something that might not show results. If you can get past that you'll be more willing to teach yourself online marketing
People try, then fail, and eventually give up on it
It is true that online marketing can be done wrong, then your website is essentially burned, and people will always give up at that point and move back on with their day job. If you can get past the point of failure, and treat it as a learning experience, you'll likely be one of the people who stick it out for a long time and has a few websites up and running that are making a decent income.
In the beginning, you should have a website or two running, ones you don't really care too much about, and test out all your newly learned skills and methods on them. You can't care too much about these websites because you're just learning and you're likely going to get them penalized, so see these beginner sites as test sites. After you're confident enough with your abilities, that is when you start a real website that you want to make money from, because you will know what to do and what not to do.
People need to be taught and can't usually learn on their own
So many of us have been in school since we were little kids, and were taught the majority of what we know today, and that means we were taught that we are only able to learn when someone else is giving us lessons.
What if I told you that you can actually teach yourself something and know more about it than if you were to take a class on it? The problem with schooling is you're lumped in a room with other people and the lessons are diluted to a point where everyone can learn at the same pace. If you were to take an online marketing course, you'd likely learn a lot of stuff, but at the end of the semester, you will know about 1/4 of what someone else does who were teaching themselves.
You don't need someone to teach you online marketing, it's not a scary journey where you need your hand held, just go learn it by browsing open forums and blogs to see what people are doing and testing. If you don't know something, just ask on those forums or blogs, and people will respond.
In conclusion
The more you put into it, the more rewards you will obtain, and the more successful you will become. Online marketing does take a bit of time to learn most of what is out there right now, but you don't need to be a specialist in everything to be rich, you just need to be good at one thing in one niche to bring in all the sales and cash in. You only need one or two good ideas to become rich, and a lot of online marketers are chasing that dream, and a lot of us have created full-time incomes that need to be nurtured a little bit each week to stay stable

You just have to understand that some people are lazy and ignorant. I will attribute these two qualities as the major reasons why most people are still stuck in stone age when they are supposed to be fully exploiting all the benefits that comes from getting into internet marketing and boosting their business reach and expansion. Anyone who fails to recognize the business benefits that comes with moving into internet marketing will definitely be left miles aways from his or her competitors.
So true, and you can also think about how people are afraid of change. The saying "If it isn't broke, why fix it?" applies to a lot of older people and how they run their businesses. They don't want to change anything, because their systems are working right now, but they don't really understand the true potential their businesses have if they were to just bring them online. I actually helped a mom and pop shop get online with a small eCommerce website, and I told them everything they needed to know with no BS added in. The old man was a simple person, but wanted all his information straightforward and not too much jargon, so I talked to him like he was an old friend and would say stuff like "No, you don't need that crap, it's just going to slow your website down and that's going to lose you money" which he understood completely and said "Screw that BS!" and we moved on lol
After about a week I have everything set up for them and they were starting to write their own content. They were in a small niche, so I knew they would rank for long-tailed keywords simply by getting quality content on their sites and getting them indexed, and they did After I thought they could handle everything on their own, I left them to do whatever they wanted, and I focused on my own things. I do still get calls from the old man every once in a while asking what his password is, and I now know to save it in case he calls, so I'll give it to him and ask for updates about his business going online. Last month he generated an extra $5,000 online just from the website I helped him put up He's extremely grateful and sends anyone he knows to me for website set up and online help lol I do make some money off of these people, but I try to help them as much as possible because they're usually in the same situation as this guy was, they don't want to change their setup but they now know they can put a lot more money away by having a different revenue stream
Ignorance definitely plays into my story, but it's the type of ignorance that comes from fear, not the ignorance we all talk about where people are just dumb lol. Most of the time people don't want to learn, which makes them ignorant, and that's why they aren't learning internet marketing. If they have to learn something new, it's scary, and they just don't want to try it at all and potentially risk their websites.
Being lazy is natural for some people that it is a common attitude that we usually see in our home. I have 11 siblings and it is a mix of industrious and indolent siblings so perhaps you can understand what I mean to say. But there are some lazy people who can do the marketing by using their own means. I can say that being lazy makes one to think about inventing methods that would save him work.
In truth marketing online is a hard job, in the sense that it's time consuming and an owner of a business can't simply do the marketing all by himself. In my opinion, it's more logical and cost efficient to hire a person or several persons to do your online marketing, it's either that or waste all of your time doing it. I learned it from experience.
I learned it over time by building my own websites and destroying them in the rankings lol. I learned what NOT to do pretty quickly, but now I can basically get any website ranked.
A lot of small business owners can't afford legitimate SEO that costs $5,000+ a month, so they'll tend to outsource to people who are cheaper, but they don't really know what they're doing so the website gets hurt in the end.
Business owners tend to be more hands-on, but when it comes to learning SEO and Online Marketing they think a specialist is required, but that's not the case at all. They can start by doing all of their on-page optimizations, that's actually the easiest part of the entire process, and they could even see a spike in traffic a week after they're done and all of their pages have been re-indexed. Some people I talk to are amazed at how they just tweak their titles and descriptions then their traffic increases due to the search engines starting to rank them better for their desired keywords.
Little tweaks can bring in a steady stream of traffic, which means more sales. and I don't understand why business owners won't want to learn these little tricks on their own in order to boost revenue.
I am guilty on 2 counts – I always assume that it is difficult and perhaps it’s because I am always busy. To be fair to me, I have a daytime job during weekdays and my position in the bank is not an ordinary one because I am in the big league. You can imagine the stress that I get from work that’s why I really don’t have time anymore for learning the intricacies of complex things like online marketing. However, I am trying to learn little by little as long as there is extra time in my schedule.
From someone who is trying to do it, I can confirm that it is the hardest thing I have ever done. There is so much information out there. You don't know what to focus on, because everyone has a theory on how things must be done. It is also hard to keep focused and not to loose your motivation. I have made a few dollars, and the process is so slow I confess because of the information gap( what i know and what i need to know). I'm thinking of signing in to a class that is free but structured.
I believe that some other people don't have the time and passion to learn such thing. And we must also understand that some people may not have the enough resources or instruments to learn things online. It's up to a person whether he/she wants to learn things online. There are some who prefers to learn the traditional way as well by just reading and listening to someone's perfomance in actual. There are a lot of ways to earn money. And based on my experience, there are some things online that are easy to learn and there are others that I find complicated. All you need to have is motivation and the will to work hard.
You need to put time and energy when staring an online business. It will not bloom just a matter of days. You need to be patient and study everyday how to improve your online marketing. Age also matters. There are some that will think that they're too old to learn new things. Don't easily be discouraged if you fail or you are earning just a small amount of money. If you start from scratch, then there are a lot more things to do. Just be patient, eager to learn new things, accept mistakes. Don't easily give up.
That is very true, one should never give up on the habit of learning new things in life. if we stop the process of learning then eventually our life becomes stagnant and the things that were very easy in the past appear to look very difficult for us. if however, we try to learn new things and stay updated with every new thing that happens in the online world then we are able to take advantage of it to increase our success, people tend to just refuse to do new things and do give up very quickly if they are not able to comprehend it. if however one remains patient and persistent in his efforts noting is impossible in this world.

Alameda Loses Two Court Battles Involving Waterfront Housing Project
Plus, a judge threw out the city’s developer impact fee, ruling that it violates state law. The decision could cost the city $35 million and threatens to delay the opening of Jean Sweeney Park.
By Robert Gammon
Published: December 1, 2016
Courtesy of Boatworks
The city of Alameda has lost two major court battles involving a 182-unit housing development proposed for a large vacant lot just north of the Park Street Bridge. And in one of the cases, an Alameda County judge invalidated the city’s developer impact fee, ruling on Thursday that the fee, which applies to all new development in the city, violates state law in several ways. That ruling could cost the city more than $35 million and delay the opening of Jean Sweeney Open Space Park.
The two cases were brought by Boatworks, an Emeryville-based developer that has been trying since at least 2005 to develop 9.4 acres of land that it owns along the estuary. Boatworks filed one of the cases this summer when the city’s Planning Board demanded that the developer increase the number of affordable units in its project from 15 percent to 20 percent. However, a judge put that decision by the Planning Board on hold last month, ruling that the board had likely acted illegally.
The second case, filed by Boatworks in 2014, involves a challenge to Alameda’s developer impact fee, which the city raised by 300 percent two years ago. And of the two cases, this one has far more serious financial impacts for the city.
As we noted in our November news story, “A Costly Fight Over Housing,” Boatworks contends that city’s increased developer impact fee violates state law in several ways. In its lawsuit against the city, Boatworks also argued that the city’s rationale for raising the developer fee—known as a Nexus Study—was deeply flawed. And a judge on Thursday agreed.
Alameda’s Nexus Study, completed in 2014, concluded that city was justified in raising the impact fee by 300 percent in order to buy more parkland to accommodate new homes and residents that are expected to arrive in Alameda by 2040. The study concluded that the city could use most of the $38.9 million in funds generated by the fees to buy about 20 acres worth of parkland.
But Boatworks argued in court that the study failed to account for all the new parkland that city had already received for free from the Navy at Alameda Point. And that once that land becomes park, as it is intended to be, then Alameda won’t actually need to buy any more parkland to accommodate new residents.
On Thursday, Alameda County Superior Court Judge Frank Roesch sided with Boatworks, ruling that the city’s decision to enact an impact fee to buy parks it already owns is a clear violation of state law. Roesch noted that in court, attorneys for the city of Alameda acknowledged that the city has no plans to use the $38.9 million in developer impact fees, or DIF, to buy parkland, but rather intends to use the money to turn land it already owns into parks. Roesch called that an illegal bait and switch under state law. “[T]he calculation of the DIF fee based on the purchase of approximately 20 acres of land that do not, in fact, need to be purchased, is a violation of the [California] Mitigation Fee Act,” Roesch wrote.
Roesch also ruled that it would be illegal for the city to use developer impact fees to pay for improvements needed to open Jean Sweeney Park, because the city already owns that land. The judge ruled the impact fees could only be used to buy new parkland or make improvements on new land that the city purchases. As a result, the judge’s ruling threatens to delay the opening of Jean Sweeney Park indefinitely—because the city likely won’t have the funds to do it.
Alameda City Attorney Janet Kern declined to comment on Roesch’s ruling, saying through a spokesperson that her office was still examining it. Boatworks attorney Thomas Roth declined to comment specifically on Roesch’s decision, but noted that the ruling could end up costing the city “in the neighborhood of $36 million” by 2040 because of the loss of impact fees.
The judge’s ruling not only prohibits the city from collecting the new higher developer impact fees from now on, but it also jeopardizes the fees it has already pocketed. If the city decides to not appeal Roesch’s ruling, then developers who have already paid the fees will be able to go to court and request a refund. Roesch also scheduled a January hearing to determine how much the city must pay Boatworks in the case.
In the other case, Boatworks sued the city for breach of contract, arguing that the Planning Board’s decision to require more affordable housing violated a 2010 settlement between the city and Boatworks that agreed on 15 percent affordable units in the project. The Alameda City Attorney’s Office responded in court that the settlement agreement was no longer in effect and asked the court to throw out Boatworks’ suit.
However, Alameda County Superior Court Judge Kimberly Colwell refused to dismiss the case, ruling in November that Boatworks would likely win the case if it were to go to trial. Colwell also stayed the Planning Board’s decision and ruled that the settlement agreement, which stipulated 15 percent affordable housing, was still in effect.
“We’re very pleased that the court recognized that there has been an obvious breach of contract and that we would likely prevail at trial,” said Shona Armstrong, Boatworks’ attorney in this case.
Boatworks had actually planned to build 20 percent affordable originally when it first proposed to build 242 units on its land. But the city council twice rejected that version of the project, saying it was “too dense.”
For more on this second case, see our November story. The city has not yet made a decision on what it plans to do with this case.

Landon Donovan Wants To Watch The World Cup At A Bar With Other Soccer Fans
Landon Donovan has come to grips with being left off the United
States World Cup squad and is now trying to decide just how to
watch the first World Cup he hasn't participated in since 1998.
Donovan was a guest on "The
Dan Patrick Show," to discuss the debilitating affects of
cramping after LeBron James had to be carried off the court
during the NBA Finals.
He was then asked where he will watch the World Cup.
"Part of me just wants to sit on my couch and sit there and let
the emotions go one way or the other so I am not around anybody,"
Donovan told Dan Patrick. "And part of me wants to go to a bar
and have a few beers and watch with local soccer fans and
experience it all that way. I don't know. It will probably be a
game-time decision."
Of course, if there is an injury to one of the 23 players on the
team, there is still a possibility that Donovan will be added to
the roster and playing with the national team in Brazil.
In ESPN's behind-the-scenes documentary, "Inside: U.S. Soccer's
March to Brazil," Jurgen Klinsmann said Donovan is "the first in
line to get another call" if one of the team's four forwards is
injured.
When asked by Patrick if he would be willing to join the team if
another player was injured and he was asked, Donovan said "of
course."

Social media can break down marital bonds
Q: How can I tell if Facebook and social media are negatively impacting my marriage? I don't think this is the case at present, but I don't want to be taken by surprise either.
Jim: Even the best marriages can fall prey to subtle threats posed by social media, so you're wise to be on guard. If you're spending more time on Facebook than you are interacting with your spouse, or if online "relationships" are more satisfying than your marriage, this is a definite sign that something isn't right. Secrecy in any form is another danger signal.
Do you log off or minimize the Facebook window when your spouse walks into the room? If so, you need to ask yourself why. Transparency is the foundation of trust, and trust is essential to every successful marriage. In connection with this last point, there are several other questions to ask yourself about your interactions with online friends, especially those of the opposite sex. Do your conversations include things that should be kept between you and your spouse?
Do you find yourself daydreaming about any of these people? Do you look for excuses to visit them online? Do you share thoughts, feelings or problems with them that you don't reveal to your mate? Are you convinced that they understand you better than your spouse does? If so, there's a danger that these relationships may be crossing the line between the platonic and the romantic.
If you are seeing any of these red flags, I'd urge you to sit down with your spouse and take a very close look at your situation. It might be a good idea to do this with the assistance of a trained counselor. You can locate one by calling Focus on the Family.
** ** **
Q: What can I do to help my spouse overcome his pornography addiction? He knows it's killing our marriage and has tried to stop, but it seems to be a losing battle.
Dr. Greg Smalley, Vice President, Family Ministries: Sadly, sexual addictions of all kinds have become widespread in contemporary society. It affects men and women from all walks of life. Because it is rooted in the basic human craving for relationship, sexual addiction is tenacious and progressive in nature.
Porn is powerful because it offers a counterfeit form of intimacy and attachment. It's important to keep this in mind, and to understand that your role is not to keep him accountable. You can pray for him, love him and ask what he needs from you, but you cannot control his behavior. Instead, it's critical that you begin to do what you can to care for your own heart, and find help for how his addiction has hurt and impacted you. The good news is that effective help is available.
We suggest that you begin by seeking professional counseling, and we highly recommend that you do this together. The most successful approach involves an initial program of intensive therapy, followed by regular and ongoing counseling sessions. Also key to recovery is identifying a trusted friend or group of people who will provide an environment of support and accountability. Focus on the Family can provide you with referrals to helpful programs of this kind.
In the meantime, you and your husband might consider installing some accountability software on your computer. Software programs of this kind aren't the ultimate answer to the serious and complex problems like those your spouse is facing, but they can play an important role in helping you keep tabs on the entire family's online activities.

The existing electronic cigarette atomizers generally adopt heating wires to heat tobacco tar in tobacco tar storage cotton, the temperatures of the heating wires are relatively high in a heating process, so the heating wires are scorched easily to produce burnt flavor, moreover the high temperatures produced by the heating wires are transferred to outer walls of the atomizers easily, so that the electronic cigarette becomes hot, the energy efficiency is low, the smoking taste is poor, and meanwhile the atomizers are prone to tobacco tar leakage.

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand
And I will call upon Your nameAnd keep my eyes above the wavesWhen oceans riseMy soul will rest in Your embraceFor I am Yours and You are mine
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You’ve never failed and You won’t start now
Spirit lead me where my trust is without bordersLet me walk upon the watersWherever You would call meTake me deeper than my feet could ever wanderAnd my faith will be made strongerIn the presence of my Savior
It’s crazy. It’s August. Summer is slipping by, but for some reason I’m okay with it, I’m looking forward to the cooler Fall days, and all that comes with that beautiful season. Weather, and seasons seem to be able to transport you into places you long forgot, that happened to me today. I was walking from one place to another at work, and noticed that the sky had begun to cloud up, which has happened a few times this summer, but never really started to rain. Today was different, I could feel that it was going to rain, which actually is pretty unusual for us here, we don’t have Thunderstorms or ran much in the summer. Strangely, I was taken immediately back to Thailand, naturally of course. I just wanted to stand outside. Soak it in. Everyone always asks me, Do you think you’ll ever go back?, in fact I was just asked that again last night. My answer is the same… I don’t know, maybe someday.
I miss it. I miss all of you, my friends who maybe or maybe not still read my blog. It doesn’t seem like that long ago we all arrived, met, and began our year-long adventure together, but it has been 2 years since that year began. Crazy. Some of you are still there, going on year number 3, 4….or longer.
The thing is this: life just continues moving on. Never stopping so we can catch a breath. It’s like a never ending marathon run… (since everything these days seems to relate back to running).
It’s still raining here. I’m hoping the clouds will clear soon so I can go on my 4-miler today. It might not. I might be running in the rain. Fun.
I was pointed to a few verses by several people day… just wanted to pass them along. Psalm 3:3-4 “But you, O LORD are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. I cried aloud to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy hill.” Psalm 34:10b “but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing”.
Last, but the best.. listen to this song. Amazing. I’ve been listening to it everyday, all day for the past few days. For those who are thirsty, drink.
And I am desperate for Your touch
a glimpse of heaven through the glory of Your son
In a moment You can turn a life around
forever to be found in You
And I’m reaching out to find
there’s nothing greater then the love that holds my life
Your grace and mercy save me by Your blood
and swept away my shame away O Lord
Your love is like a fire, that burns for all to see
My only desire to worship at your feet
So let this fire consume my life
Let Your love take me deeper
draw me closer to where You are’cause all I want is more of You
When you call I will follow
At the cross I surrender all
Jesus I belong to You
And I am surrendered to Your love
forever humbled by the message of the cross
I stand in abandoned in Your presence and embrace
I never be the same O God
Let’s be honest here. Is that okay? Well, I am making it okay, especially because this is MY blog after all.
I don’t miss “home” per se, but there are many things, comfort things, that I miss about the United States of America. The things that are “normal” here in Thailand aren’t really “normal” to me, and that makes sense. I didn’t grow up here, and I’m certainly not completely understanding of all those things after being here only 3 months.
I miss my car, and being able to go anywhere anytime I want.
I miss huge salads from Red Robin.
I miss being able to speak in English when I go somewhere and have people understand me.
I miss not feeling like I stick out wherever I go.
I miss not sweating all the time, everywhere you go.
I miss my hair being normal.
I miss Sarah being around to cut my hair.
I miss being in the same time zone as everyone.
I’m sure I could extend this list longer. Some things have begun to ware on me, but I know those things will pass. Don’t get me wrong, I love being here in Thailand, but sometimes I just wish I could know what the future holds. I could see myself staying here for longer than just one year, but then again I could see myself coming back to the States.
I’m not the best at trusting, and for that I must confess that I have depended too much upon myself. I know when I begin feeling overwhelmed that at that very moment I need to stop, and begin to pray. For I know at that moment I’m relying on myself and my own strength.
The hardest is not knowing. For a while I did so well at not worrying about the future and taking life one moment at a time, but right now I’m worrying, and asking many questions that I should leave up to the LORD.
Pray for me. Pray for all of us teachers. Thailand is a place where it is easy to get discouraged, and I myself have been dealing with that lately.
God is good, and God is so faithful. I know this to be true. That doesn’t stop me from wanting to bawl my eyes out right now…. I’m not even sure why.
Thanks for listening friends, again, please pray for us. Everyday we give and give to students who do not know the LORD, and that alone can be quite taxing, and can seem very energy-consuming.
This song has been a blessing to me, pray these words of truth wherever you are today.
“Desert Song” by Hillsong
Verse:
This is my prayer in the desert
And all that’s within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is the God who provides
And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames
Chorus:
And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here
Verse:
And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it’s way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I’ll stand
Bridge:
All of my life
In every seasonYou are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship
End:
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flowI know I’m filled to be empited again
The seed I’ve recieved I will sow
“Does Sorrow lay his hand upon your shoulder,
and walk with you in silence on life’s way,
While Joy your bright companion once, grown colder,
Becomes to you more distant day by day?
Run not from the companionship of Sorrow,
He is the messenger of God to thee;
And you will thank Him in His great tomorrow —
For what you do not know now, you then will see;
He is God’s angel, clothed in veils of night,
With whom “we walk by faith” and “not by sight”.”
