THE future is bright, the future is orange, if you adapt that well-known advertising slogan to reflect the colour of David Moyes’ hair.
What the future is not at Old Trafford is yellow-and-green. Those bright colours of protest against the Glazer family’s controversial ownership can be quietly folded away now.
In choosing their next manager, Manchester United have opted for a man with the same accent and the same spirit as Sir Alex Ferguson. There could be no more emphatic way to spike the guns of what is left of the revolt among the supporters.
They could have settled upon a quick fix which would have traded the fabric and legacy of the club for more quick profit ahead of a cash-laden dash for the exit some time in the future. They could have gone for a hired gun like Jose Mourinho, whose only mission would have been to guarantee an instant, till-jangling continuation of the success upon which they have built the most mighty commercial operation in world sport. It’s a popular way of modern business. It is what, in truth, I expected.
Instead, Moyes represents a dynastic appointment. He may not wish to be portrayed as an identikit Fergie, and he will have his own plans and ideas. But the core football values of the two men are as similar as their Glaswegian backgrounds.
Out in Glazerville, Florida, they have agreed to land the man most of the fans would have chosen.
It means that under the Glazers’ command, the big cash-in will continue and the sponsorship deals will continue to roll in. The list of the club’s backers on the official website is nearly as long as the roll-call of honours.
But the codes of the club, established and nurtured by both Ferguson and Sir Matt Busby before him, will remain in place too. Tradition is an excellent selling point. The future, if it works, will be rooted in a training-ground, red-brick, man-of-the-people’s view of the game and how it should operate as well as in the concrete canyons of Wall Street.
That represents a pretty smart double act put in place by the American family whose methods of taking control of United – loading them with debt – made them so vilified.
Of course the Glazers are in it for the money, like nearly all football moguls. But which United fan will be unhappy if the club’s financial power continues to grow and grow with a serious football man in charge of the team and its development? In fact, it simply has to if they are to keep pace in Europe with the new wealth of clubs like the Champions League finalists, Bayern Munich, the oligarch-funded clubs of the east and the ever-expanding Spanish giants.
The acid test will come if the handover of power in the Old Trafford dugout and its adjustments leads to any prolonged period without success. Say, two seasons.
These are the financial figures which Moyes has to support on the field and which will test the Glazers’ nerve if the pots dry up for a while.
According to the experts Deloitte yesterday, United’s annual revenue for 2011/12 was £320.3million. That’s an increase of 14 per cent every season from the £25.2m brought in during Ferguson’s first title-winning season in 1992-93.
The Glazers’ massive expansion of business operations has happened during the most successful period in the club’s history. The pressure on Moyes – unprecedented for a newly appointed manager – will be to keep those noughts ticking over on the balance sheets.
This is where the continued presence of Ferguson at the club as director and ambassador may prove critical.
He will remain a business beacon for United. His name will attract even more deals. He will represent, too, a vast fund of Champions League and transfer market knowledge on tap at Moyes’ disposal.
The fear may be that Fergie will overshadow the new man. But surely, these two kindred spirits have worked out already how to handle that.
Everything they have done in football suggests the shrewdness required to resolve that worry.
Ferguson was a centre-forward, Moyes a centre-back. They seem made for each other, however. | 2019-04-24T22:18:07 | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/398126/David-Moyes-is-a-shrewd-appointment-that-quells-the-Manchester-United-revolt |
One of the most common reasons given for ordering a lumbar spine MRI examination is to rule out disc herniation. MRI is a very efficient tool for this condition. It is helpful, however, to define several terms to ensure a clear understanding of the described elements of the report. In the past there has been considerable variation in the terms used from one radiologist to the next to describe disc herniations. It was routine to see a disc herniation described as a “disc bulging” by one radiologist and a “disc herniation” by a second. I have found the article in the journal Spine (vol. 26, no. 5, pp E93-E113) to be very helpful in differentiating a true disc herniation from a disk bulge and to clarify the differences in herniation types.
Basically, a “disc bulge” is defined as a prominence of the periphery of the disc that exceeds 50% of the circumference of the disc. A “disc herniation” is defined as a discal prominence that does not exceed 50% of the disc circumference. For comparison purposes, please refer to figure 1. The illustration in the upper left corner demonstrates a diffuse disc bulge. The dotted line represents the margin of the underlying vertebral endplate. The solid outer line represents the margins of the bulging disc. The margins of the disc are increased over 100% of the disc circumference.
In image 1, the arrow points to an extrusion type herniation in which the nuclear material maintains contact with the parent disc. In image 2, there is an oval extruded fragment that has lost connection with the disc. This is an example of a sequestered disc.
Lumbar disc herniations are also graded according to size. An AP dimension of the disc that measures less than 5.0 mm is small, 5.0-10.0 mm is termed moderate and greater than 10 mm is a large herniation.
The final element in description of disc herniations is the effect on the thecal sac. If the herniation encroaches upon the central canal of the segment with 50% or greater compromise of the contents, the effect is said to be severe. Encroachment of 25-50% is moderate and 25% or less is minor. If there is compression of a descending nerve root, this needs to be described as well. Image 3 reflects compression of the right descending nerve root. The left root is seen as a hypodense circular shape adjacent to the left facet joint. A white arrow head points to a right paracentral disc herniation. The normally hypointense nerve root is obliterated by the herniation.
Universal usage of the terms outlined in this article would help to alleviate the confusion that results from the use of inconsistent terminology and would allow a more uniform understanding of the information contained within the report. | 2019-04-22T10:42:16 | https://www.ilchiro.org/news/401228/Clinical-Lumbar-Disc-Herniation-Terminology.htm |

SuperGuardian keeps abreast of technology and products in the sector, and works in an environment of continuous improvement.
“We never stand still. We deliver an excellent service already, but continually seek ways to give clients extra value,” SuperGuardian chief executive Olivia Long says.
According to Long, this year the industry faced one of the most significant changes to businesses it has seen: the removal of the accountants’ exemption, which was replaced with the new licensing regime.
“We wanted to retain complete control over the way we do things so we applied to ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission) for our own Australian financial services licence,” she explains.
But rather than seeing the removal as a challenge, SuperGuardian approached it as an opportunity, particularly as financial advisers were finding it increasingly difficult to work with accountants who did not specialise in SMSFs and did not keep data up-to-date during the financial year.
“And the timing could not have been better with the legislation of the super reforms that became law late last year,” she reveals.
“We were thrilled to be able to meet with our clients one-on-one, discuss their situation and provide them with a personalised statement of advice on what action to take because of the reforms.
Long believes one of the business’s biggest achievements in the past 12 months has been its efforts to truly go above and beyond the traditional day-to-day accounting and compliance services, and give proactive advice.
“We survey our clients every two years and, in addition, I always seek adviser feedback every time I meet with them,” she says.
Long commends the firm’s team for its success at this year’s SMSF awards.
“We pride ourselves on the quality and longevity of our client manager team. We have staff that have been with us for more than a decade, who have grown and developed over that time as a close-knit team,” she says.
“We all share a client service ethic second to none, and I attribute this award to the quality of the service they provide day in, day out.
“This award is important to us because it’s based on voting by clients, not just a judging panel, so the fact that advisers actually took the time to vote shows they value us enough to do something about it. | 2019-04-25T04:13:13 | https://smsmagazine.com.au/insights/smsf-awards-2017-smsf-administration-winner/ |

Antoinette Grimes, recipient of the 2013 L.I.F.E scholarship, was recently featured in the East Valley Tribune, a newspaper in her hometown of Phoenix. The article puts into focus her difficult but inspiring journey with lupus- how she struggled with telling her family, was forced to leave the military, lost university scholarships but ultimately did not let lupus ruin her life and hopes that others with lupus don't either. She continues to make a difference in others' lives through working as a lupus support group facilitator, advocate for female veterans, and a personal trainer for people with disabilities. Check out the full article here!

The Wounded Knee Massacre on December 29, 1890 was one of the US Government’s first attempts to disarm the Native Americans.
The Lakota’s lands were being seized.
Their main food source, bison, were already hunted nearly to extinction by English settlers.
And when the Lakota began to resist the men who were forcing them out of their homes, killing their people, and destroying their lives, the government ordered that they be disarmed.
US cavalry slaughtered hundreds of Lakota, including unarmed men, women, and children.
This was not a battle.
This was a massacre of an inconvenient racial minority in order to steal their land and resources.
And it was sanctioned by the US Government.
While not strictly a firearm confiscation, the roots of gun control lie in yet more racism.
Before the Civil War, the Slave Codes made it illegal for black people to own guns, vote, assemble anywhere, or even learn to read or write.
After the Civil War, the Black Codes replaced the Slave Codes to continue to restrict Freedman and keep them subjugated.
Free men and women were restricted from leaving their plantations, forbidden to assemble or practice religion in groups, and, you guessed it, barred from owning weapons.
Interestingly enough, these laws might also be the origin of business licenses, since blacks had to obtain licenses from white people in order to begin any kind of business.
Even today, some of the effects of those laws restricting black people’s rights echo through our culture.
It wasn’t long ago that we were marching to stop the government-enforced separation of races…but that’s another blog post.
Let’s jump ahead to the first World War.
You probably know about the Japanese internment camps of World War II, but did you know that at least 4 internment camps were built by the US government during WWI?
Germans were classified as “enemy aliens” (who were prohibited from owning firearms) and rounded up for imprisonment just for being German or German-American, even those that were already US citizens.
Anyone who was German-born, even if they were no longer a German citizen, was soon forced to register and carry identification with them everywhere.
They were tracked, restricted, and detained.
During this time, the government “confiscated” hundreds of millions of dollars in German property, which ultimately helped to finance the war and the camps where undesirable citizens were kept out of the way.
Expressing dissent was a quick way to find yourself behind barbed wire in a camp if you were German, and behind bars in jail if you weren’t.
And we haven’t gotten much further today.
We don’t call them “enemy aliens” anymore.
We just put them on the “terrorist watch list” and do the same thing.
Germans were still interred in the second World War, but you probably know more about the Japanese Internment Camps because those are actually mentioned in public schools.
It started with a general fear and distrust of the Japanese.
That led to restrictions for anyone of Japanese descent, including a prohibition from owning any “potentially dangerous items” including firearms, curfews, and an impressive label that inspired even more fear: The New Enemy.
Then it progressed to home seizures and raids.
Of course, the raids and seizures included firearm confiscations if anything was left.
After all, those guns were now illegally owned because the owner was Japanese.
And then we forced innocent people into prison camps, stole their possessions, and used their personal property to fund it all.
As an interesting side note, this, like most of the grossly discriminatory laws mentioned in this post, was made law by executive order.
The political climate creates fear around a particular racial/national group.
That group is given some kind of name to make them scarier, like savages or enemy aliens.
Once an Us vs. Them mentality is established widely enough, the government issues restrictions to that group’s personal rights, including their gun rights.
If nobody steps in to stop the momentum, that group of people, along with any political dissenters, is forced to forfeit their property (and perhaps their lives) which finances further actions.
But we’re sure there’s nothing else to worry about.
It’s not like there’s a lot of fear of a particular racial group that we’re at war against.
And it’s not like we’re assigning scary names to people like Domestic Terrorist or Political Extremist.
Surely, people with dissenting political opinions aren’t finding themselves included on anything like a Terrorist Watch List that has the potential to strip them of liberty, property, and life. | 2019-04-19T19:08:22 | https://www.gadsdengunsblog.com/firearm-confiscation-united-states/ |

I tried to feed baby this morning, but she couldn't concentrate on eating... She kept moving her eyes and then her head to the object of distraction. The fan. The lights. She is mesmerized by the lights and fan. I made sweet noises and funny faces but nothing was interesting enough to keep her focused. She wouldn't eat. We moved her to her mom's angle, so she could look at her fan and lights while eating. She ate fine after that.
In an attempt to better understand my daughter, I wanted to get a picture of what she was seeing. What was she so enthralled with? While her mom was holding her I put the camera behind her head and took a picture. | 2019-04-24T16:27:22 | http://www.aliceindependence.com/2008/03/oscar-goes-to-lights-and-fan.html |

Can Psychologists Predict Whether Donald Trump's Popularity With Followers Will Endure or Fade?
Can Psychologists Predict Whether Donald Trump’s Popularity With Followers Will Endure or Fade?
Perhaps the least contestable thing you can say about the unpredictable Donald Trump is that he is a polarizing politician. Clearly a lot of people love him, while it seems almost as many detest the President.
Yet no one appears to have posed the key dilemma that will surely determine the success of his reign. Will his ardent followers continue to love him for an extended period into his Presidency? Will they forgive the inevitable set-backs and disappointments? Can Donald Trump display the necessary leadership skills to retain the country’s confidence when governing isn’t going his way?
There is a recent scientific psychological study that suggests an intriguing answer to these questions.
The research was entitled, “The Leader Ship Is Sinking: A Temporal Investigation of Narcissistic Leadership“ and concluded that despite enjoying a honeymoon period of leadership, the appeal and attractiveness of the narcissistic leader rapidly wanes. University students were randomly assigned to leaderless groups, enabling participants to develop and display leadership.
This study might predict that Donald Trump’s supporters could become rather rapidly disenchanted with the very trailblazer they so idolize at the moment.
The investigation, published in the prestigious academic psychology journal,Journal of Personality in 2016, was inspired by the so-called ‘chocolate cake’ model of narcissistic leadership.
This model was first introduced by Keith Campbell, a professor of psychology at the University of Georgia, who was alluding to the fact that the first mouthful of chocolate cake is usually tasty and therefore, extremely pleasurable.
But, over time as you consume more of the confectionary, it’s the very richness of its taste that renders you increasingly nauseous. Professor Keith Campbell contended that being led by a narcissist was like eating too much chocolate cake: Narcissists are initially perceived as effective leaders, but this positive take seems to decrease over time.
Originally developed to explain love affairs with narcissists, for example, such ego-merchants are great on a first date, but tend to get tiresome further into a relationship. The ‘chocolate cake’ model also applies to leaders and their followers.
Is the psychological research on narcissistic leaders predicting that once the honeymoon is over, Donald Trump’s followers are going to live to regret their commitment following the heady ‘first date’ of the election campaign?
The authors of the latest study, from Bangor University, The University of Stirling and The University of Derby in the UK, were partly inspired by this finding that while narcissists make a better first impression than those less in love with themselves, with increasing acquaintance, their heightened arrogance begins to drag. So, almost inevitably, narcissists are inexorably found less entertaining the more you get to know them. Particularly unappealing is their tendency to swagger and overestimate their talents.
Psychologists Chin Wei Ong, Ross Roberts, Calum Arthur, Tim Woodman and Sally Akehurst, the authors of the latest study into narcissistic leadership, point out that one possible explanation for why narcissistic leaders seem great ‘on a first date’, but end up being rated poorly in the long run is that leadership ‘emergence’ and leadership ‘effectiveness’ are two different things, but are frequently confused with eachother by an electorate.
Leadership emergence is achieved by attaining high status in a group of strangers, while once you are identified as a leader, effectiveness is judged by one’s actual performance in the post.
Although there is no doubt Donald Trump is masterful at emerging as a front-runner, this first impression doesn’t in any way predict his future effectiveness as a leader. It is suggesting that his followers may shortly experience a rude awakening.
Another theory is that narcissists’ decision-making strategies focus on short-term gains (which makes sense when trying to get attention at the beginning of a popularity contest) but then later while being in power, this strategy comes at the expense of long-term benefits.
The authors of this latest study found that the decline in rating of leadership in those higher in narcissism is associated with a waning in the degree to which they display transformational leadership.
The researchers explain that transformational leadership is an approach that involves establishing relationships with followers through emotional and inspirational interactions, so that supporters become motivated to perform beyond their expectations.
However, given narcissists’ continual striving for self-enhancement and personal glory to the extent of exploiting others for personal gain, their transformational leadership possibilities fade over time.
A truly great transformational leader grabs your attention – but does so in a bid to get you to perform better. By everyone in the team doing better, the squad wins and rises to the top. In the end, it’s not about them – it’s about you.
Perhaps the most emblematic example is the famous quote from John F Kennedy delivered at his inauguration on January 20, 1961: ‘My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country’. | 2019-04-22T14:36:38 | https://pro.psychcentral.com/can-psychologists-predict-whether-donald-trumps-popularity-with-followers-will-endure-or-fade/ |
10 Positive Affirmations for Happiness - #besomebody | Advice.
A guide for how to work with positive affirmations, even when you feel the farthest away from what they say.
Positive affirmations have changed my life. More accurately, positive affirmations have saved my life. For most of my life, I have been depressed and felt a sense of hopelessness in everything that had to do with my future. Filled with a deep sense of shame, I was addicted to my misery and defended my negativity way of thinking and feeling, like I was protecting someone near and dear to me. I deserved to not be happy because of the life I was given and the world was to blame. I was a victim.
When I was introduced to positive affirmations through the Louise Hay book You Can Heal Your Life, I was so full of resistance, I had to stop reading it in the middle and take a three-month break.
Here was this woman telling me I could change my life by thinking positively and everything I didn’t have in my life: enough money, a relationship, a job that I loved, friends, and abundance, was because of MY thinking. I was very pissed.
After calming down, I returned to the book and slowly started working with positive affirmations every day. Bit by bit, they helped changed me into a positive and thriving person. Now, when I hear or say something negative, it doesn’t feel good. It still hurts, but I don’t want to be and feel hurt anymore, so I quickly change it to something positive.
Here is the biggest secret I learned about positive affirmations: For them to really work, help you and change you, you need to dive into your negativity and into your shadows and learn all about your demons, your pain and the places inside of you that may be scary. The only way to positive change is through some very uncomfortable places inside you.
Here are 10 steps that show how to work with positive affirmations, even when you feel the farthest away from what they say. Work with this list to turn a painful moment around with a positive affirmation. I did, and it works.
Give words to your pain by noticing your most painful thought at the moment (No one loves me; I have nothing; Everyone has a better life them me; I’m so fat; I’m stupid; I’m alone).
Create a positive affirmation that is the complete opposite of your most painful thought at this moment.
Adjust your affirmation by saying it in a few different ways.
Choose the right affirmation by feeling which affirmation is making you feel the most emotional, which affirmation makes your heart skip a bit.
This is the affirmation for you, for today!
Say the affirmation to yourself as many times as you can. Let your heart start believing it (your mind may take a lot more work). Write it on a card, on your mirror, on your iPhone, or be even braver and say your affirmation to yourself in front of the mirror.
Respond to yourself as you would respond to a family member or a friend who is hurting – why not to yourself.
Repeat steps 1-8 every day.
Sit back and watch your life change.
Here are my 10 personal favorite positive affirmations for happiness. They helped me bring a lot of positivity and happiness into my life. May they do the same to you.
My life is a joyously balanced between work and play.
There is love all around me, and I am worth loving.
Today I look for the good in my life, and that is what I find.
Today I enjoy every minute of whatever I am doing.
Wonderful new doors are opening for me all the time.
It is now safe for me to forgive all of my childhood traumas. I am free.
Today I remind myself that all I need to do is keep my thinking in line with my goals. The Universe will do the rest.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing these tips. I look forward to reading more of your posts.
Thanks Nia! So great to meet you! | 2019-04-19T09:38:18 | https://besomebody.com/advice/2018/10/12/10-positive-affirmations-happiness/ |

BARCELONA, Spain -- The Dream Team-Croatia gold-medal basketball game became one of the year's best international hustling events.
The parking lots outside the arena were full last night of ticket searchers and ticket scalpers.
Undercover policemen made arrests, and the "honest" scalpers were talking about the low morals of the "crooked" ones.
Tickets prices ranged from as high as $750 a pair three hours before the game to as low as $125 for one just minutes before tip-off.
Face value: $95 a ticket.
Highest offer heard: $1,000 a pair three days before the game.
Worst lie told: $1,000 plus your first-born child for a ticket.
"This is a hustler's paradise," said David Apathy, 40, a native of Los Angeles who is living in Hungary and was outside the arena looking for a ticket.
"But there is one universal language everyone understands. 'Hey mon, you got a ticket?' "
Greeks were selling to the French. The Hungarians were buying from the Spaniards. And the New Yorkers were hustling the Californians.
"Let me tell you something," said Mario Whitmire, a travel agent and professional scalper from Dallas. "The world's corporate monsters got all the tickets for this game and didn't use them. Somehow they filtered down to us, the scalpers, and we're selling them to the average guy who couldn't get his hands on one."
Whitmire says he was out scalping to cut down on traveling costs. He brought his wife and three kids to Barcelona.
"All the scalpers know each other," he said. "We're all at the big events. Look me up if you need tickets for the Super Bowl. I'll be staying at the Hyatt."
But the Super Bowl is low rent compared to this event.
"We have seen Magic, we have touched Magic, and he is magic," said Fernando Montero, 14, of Barcelona, who was outside the arena last night. "They're good. Everyone wants to see them because they are the best in the world. I love Michael Jordan, too."
John Grayson, of Michigan, said: "I went to the same high school as Magic Johnson. I'm living in England now for a short while, but I came here to watch Magic play one more time. It may be his last game."
Even young kids were outside trying to buy tickets.
Mark Ortego, 14, said he was from Carey, N.C. He also said he came to Barcelona with a group called Encounter for Christ.
He was a very good hustler.
"Fifty dollars max, that's all I've got," said Ortega. "This price has worked to get me into the gymnastics and swimming finals. I once got into a swimming event by giving the security guard an American pin."
When asked where his father was, Ortego replied: "On the other side of the stadium trying to hustle himself a ticket."
Bernard Nouvelett is a volunteer worker at the Olympic Games. He says he gets complimentary tickets, but no money to pay for housing. So, he sells his tickets.
The bottom line is a making and, perhaps, saving a dollar.
"They know the average person can't afford to pay $5,000 a year in advance for Olympic tickets," said Kenny Bria, 28, a student at San Diego State who bought a ticket for $125 last night, and then celebrated by buying a large glass of beer.
"The average person takes a chance, comes here with no tickets and hustles to get inside. Hey, I've watched Carl Lewis run and John Smith wrestle. It only cost me $25. I'm broke now, but I've already seen two of the world's best athletes. Now I'm going to see the world's best basketball team."
But it wasn't all fun, games and ticket sales outside.
Barcelona's police department had young undercover agents arresting scalpers and a number of counterfeit tickets were being sold.
"How do you like that?" said Whitmire, the professional. "They shouldn't be ripping people off." | 2019-04-20T18:38:43 | https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1992-08-09-1992222101-story.html |

"Sad to hear that Marion Woodman has passed away. What a great teacher she was. I read all of her books in the past two years - and I am grateful to her every day for what I could learn from her. She has changed my life for the better. Thank you…"
I'm a Jungian analyst, dance/movement psychotherapist and somatics practitioner, author, and teacher of Authentic Movement (embodied active imagination), and Marion Woodman's BodySoul Rhythms approach.
Hi Tina. Happy new year, and welcome to the online depth community! Robin Gates mentioned she had invited you, so perhaps you found the Alliance through her. I think once you have a chance to explore the site a bit, you'll find a dynamic group of likeminded people who are all fascinated by the field of depth psychology. While there are quite a number of Jungian analysts here, it's a very interdisicplinary community. Many of our members come from many walks of life--artists, writers, doctors, healing professionals, counselors, students, business people, etc--so there is much knowledge and experience here to be shared.
On that note, there are also many opportunities to engage as you begin browsing the vast content and interacting with others--all depending on what level of time investment you choose to make based on your current situation. You may want to consider joining the new online book club if you haven’t already—it’s just begun (with a new author each month!)—and you can participate at whatever level you wish.
You may just find a few Pacifica students among the members of the Alliance. Glad you found us and decided to join. I've spoken to several of the somatic students and they are enjoying the classes and esp. the experiential events. Somatics has been a focus within conversations in the various blogs, forums, and groups but not as a separate focus. I hope your presence with us might help draw the focus more sharply. I look forward to your posts. | 2019-04-20T20:34:02 | http://www.depthpsychologyalliance.com/profile/TinaStromstedPhD |

flashers do nothing. Flashers have a clicking sound. This happened last year also, jumped car and would run but once I turn off everything dead again. The auto store says battery is fully charged. Any help out there?
Just because you charge a battery doesn't mean it is capable of holding it. You need to have the battery tested and likely replaced.
If the car requires a jump to start, then you still have a battery problem with the battery itself or the cable connections. | 2019-04-18T11:18:16 | http://autoforums.carjunky.com/Automotive_Repair_C1/General_Discussions_F5/1993_Mazda_miata_wont_start_P142307/ |

“Fallon’s resignation” — Of course.
“Vice President Cheney’s peace trip” — Whether for war or peace, all travel by Cheney signals war to some folks! Also, peace trips by high US government officials are like trolleys, as they come along frequently. Not exactly a hot indicator of war.
“Israeli airstrike on Syria” — Five month old news, so not exactly a Defcon 1 alert.
“Warships off Lebanon” — US fleet movements are another standard element of the “about to bomb Iran” urban legends. US ships leave the Middle East (which means noting); US ships arrive … which means war!
“Israeli comments: Israeli President Shimon Peres said earlier this month that Israel will not consider unilateral action to stop Iran from getting a nuclear bomb. In the past, though, Israeli officials have quite consistently said they were prepared to act alone.” — Israel saying they will bomb Iran is evidence; so are statements that they will not bomb.
“Israel’s war with Hezbollah: While this seems a bit old, Israel’s July 2006 war in Lebanon…” — Almost two years ago, and so of little relevance. Yes, this is odd to include in this list.
Other posts in this series about the Internet: does it make us smarter or dumber?
Previous Post Will we bomb Iran, now that Admiral Fallon is gone?
Next Post What will America look like after this recession?
“Warships off Lebanon” – yes because if I wanted to attack Iran, I couldn’t think of a better place to put my warships than someplace with Iran’s sole ally between them and their target.
It seems that the logical strategy would be to ‘contain’ Iran while working toward aiding and/or influencing some form of internal change. I may give too much credit, but I suspect that we’re doing an adequate job in that regard.
The rest is just balance-of-power word war with a faint redolence of brinksmanship. I’d wager that every time the words ‘invade’, ‘attack’ and ‘Iran’ show up close together, people over there get pretty nervous.
I think you are right. But the story is interesting in another way: The US government today reminds me today of the old Soviet regime and even the most subtle changes in rhetoric or a sudden change in the leadership give rise to speculation. A bit sad for American democracy I think.
Fabius Maximus replies: Interesting observation! Some of this might result from size, as the government is so large that we must guess at what goes on inside the beast (as it grows, volume increases faster than surface area — so it grows more “opaque.”) Some of this perhaps results from decay, as the government increasingly responds largely to internal factors. This is the “court politics” model of Versailles-on-the -Potomac, where policy decisions are made on the basis of competing factions (both individuals and departments) — not on their effect on the outside world.
That would actually be there to deal with Hezbullah, Iran’s proxy there. The line they keep giving about Iran having some sort of secret program is another signal of intentions against Iran.
I am not ‘pushing’ the ‘Iran about to be attacked scenario’ but, if the Israeli air strike on Syria were to test the standard Russian built defenses (as I assume these are) then a few months to figure the best way to circumvent them is not out of the question. It would be a prudent action if a strike were contemplated.
Fabius Maximus: Unfortunately this logic works just as well the other way. If we thought the Russian-build air defenses had hopes, Israel’s strike this blown our operational advantage. Iran has had months to upgrade and otherwise adapt to the lessons provided by Israel. That suggests that the strike was not a prelude to hitting Iran (by either Israel or the US), or if so (as you suggest) the strike should have followed more closed — before Iran too could adjust. | 2019-04-20T14:45:53 | https://fabiusmaximus.com/2008/03/18/six-signs/ |
We've seen a lot of the best scopes for the money for a lot of different types of guns.
What we would like to do now is reveal to you best scopes for the money overall.
Without taking the caliber into consideration, or the use, we are going to look at the highest quality scopes for the best value possible!
Let's get started! Once we reveal the top 10 best scopes for the money, I'll review each one as well!
These are our top rifle scopes for the money! Most are tubular style scopes, and a couple are red dot scopes. Regardless of the type, we made sure there was value in all of them for price.
What does 'Best Scope For The Money' Even Mean?
With so many different scopes out there, some of you may think there are other scopes that should be on this list.
We didn't tread lightly here when narrowing these down. We followed some criteria when determining which scopes should make the top 10. The biggest criteria of all; making sure that there is value combined with high quality.
For most, it simply means finding the best deal. But finding the best deal is all relative, right?
For example, a FLIR Systems Thermal Night Vision Scope could climb close to $6,000! But what if you could buy that same scope for 50% off at $3,000? Now, technically, this FLIR is a great scope for the money, because usually it's $3,000 more!
But I don't think that's what most people mean. Most people, when they are trying to find the best scope for the money, are looking for the lower priced scopes that still have some high quality, right?
This isn't the same as finding a budget scope, though. Cheap scopes are just that, cheap. Budget / cheap scopes are considered to be in the $20 - $60 range. Anything in this range is a risky.
The materials are very low grade and the optic likely won't hold zero long term. You'll have to keep repurchasing a scope every few years and hope it never breaks on you while you are in the middle of using it!
Now that you've seen briefly how we determined value, let's dig deeper into each rifle scope.
Nikon dominated the this list, with 4 Nikon scopes in the top 5 and there's a big reason why. They make high quality scopes and they keep the prices low.
Even if you jump up into the $200-400 range, you are looking at a high quality scope that is compared to other similar scopes that are $500 and above!
With that being said, why is the Nikon P-223 3-9x40 the best scope for the money in our eyes?
Not only is it built by Nikon, who provides an outstanding warranty on all of their products, but it's the price that got me. At just under $200, it'll feel like you are getting a scope for at least double the price!
The Nikon P-223 is designed specifically for .223/5.56mm rifles, which is what most Ar-15's are chambered for.
With it being specifically designed for an AR-15, you know that it will be able to handle a high a mount of recoil is short amounts of time.
Nikon made the P-223 for hunters and shooters who like being able to get first round hits and longer distances.
When zeroed at 200 yards, the BDC 600 reticle has additional aiming point at 50 and 100 yard increments up to 600 yards.
The P-223 also comes with target turrets which offers 1/4 inch click adjustments at 100 yards. Both the windage and elevation turrets can be pulled out to reset the turret.
The quality of the scope is strong and durable and is waterproof and fogproof with a nitrogen fill and o ring seal.
The only negative thing I found was that the reticle was slightly blurrier around 100 and above yards. And it could’ve been the scope I was using. Other than that, great scope for the money.
The P-223 offers a lot of technology and engineering at a very competitive price. The glass is clear and crisp and you’ll have a hard time finding an equal for your AR for less money.
Reticle slightly blurry above 100 yards.
Below are the rest of the best scopes for the money that you can find. You can find actual user reviews at sites like Amazon for each given scope. Check them all out, you won't be disappointed!
Overall, this list is a big list and some of the best scopes for the money you can find.
Remember, we aren't looking for the cheapest scopes here, we are looking for scopes that have value. Finding the best scopes for the money doesn't have to be a difficult process as long as you make sure that you are maintaining high quality without breaking the bank.
In the end, any of these rifle scopes are great choices for the money, and you can't go wrong getting anything from Nikon. | 2019-04-21T00:29:05 | https://goshootguns.com/best-scopes-for-the-money/ |

Three University of New Hampshire students in Brussels at the time of the attacks were not hurt, according to a school spokesperson.
Junior Danielle Lewis spoke with necn via Skype from her temporary home in Brussels while studying abroad.
She was inside the airport, exactly where the bombs exploded, just 24 hours earlier.
"I have been there and it is just very freaky," Lewis said.
The New Hampshire native lives less than an hour from the airport.
She says after the attacks, everyone felt vulnerable, unsure of who might be next.
"I was shocked," Lewis said. "I didn't expect it, I was very, very worried for Kelsey's family."
Kelsey Avey is Lewis's roommate. She's from Michigan and also studying abroad.
"It was extremely scary, frightening, unbelievable," Avey said. "The difference that not even five minutes makes."
Avey's mom and aunt were catching a flight out of Brussels Tuesday morning. Her mom would have been in the exact spot of the blast, but something held her back.
"As they were walking in, my aunt dropped her suitcase, so she had gone back to help her," Avey explained.
That delayed them just enough that they felt the explosion, but didn't get hurt.
"They heard two extremely loud explosions and immediately it looked like confetti flying around them," Avey said. "There was a huge gust of wind and it blew them back."
Avey says they ran for their lives and when they were far enough outside the airport, they snapped a photo showing blown out windows and debris.
"I am extremely grateful and happy and lucky," Avey said Wednesday.
The two students will finish the semester in Brussels.
Lewis' dad, back home in Manchester, is proud of that decision.
"We know what happened in Boston - it could happen anywhere. It could happen here, in Manchester," Walter Lewis said. "We are not going to stop living our lives."
Lewis and Avey say changing plans out of fear would allow those responsible to claim victory, and they refuse to let that happen.
"I'm starting to love Brussels, and this isn't going to deter me," Lewis said.
The students say these are days of quiet reflection in Brussels. Their thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. | 2019-04-25T06:57:12 | https://www.necn.com/news/new-england/Extremely-Scary-University-of-New-Hampshire-Students-Survive-Brussels-Attacks-373299331.html |
FTSE 100 industrial equipment firm Ashtead (LON:AHT) upped its revenues for the half-year ended 31st October by 19% to 2.25 billion. Profits before taxation for the period rose by 25% to £610 million.
Chief executive Geoff Drabble said: “The Group delivered a strong quarter with good performance across the Group. As a result, Group rental revenue increased 18% for the six months and underlying pre-tax profit increased 19% to £633m, both at constant exchange rates.
“We have invested £1,063m in capital and a further £362m on bolt-on acquisitions in the period which has added 80 locations and resulted in a rental fleet growth of 15%. This investment reflects the structural growth opportunity that we continue to see in the business as we broaden our product offering and geographic reach, and increase market share.

'All over the Kiez' was a photography exhibition that took place in and also featured images of St. Pauli, Hamburg. The curiosity of this event was that it did not take place within a gallery, but all around St. Pauli. Therefore, 52 photographs were spread across the district and were hung where they had been taken - in the streets, on buildings, wherever it was possible to place them. | 2019-04-24T04:49:22 | https://www.thishappened.org/talks/christian-heidemann |

Tuesday, the Federal Government disclosed plans to increase the price of petrol next month. This came after the Acting Executive Secretary of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency, PPPRA, Mrs. Sotonye Iyoyo, asked the Federal Government to automate the operations of the PPPRA to improve transparency and form a pricing framework to encourage local refining and discourage importation of petroleum products in the long term.
Senator Mao Ohuabunwa has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to apologize to Nigerians for his inability to handle the country’s economy and for creating hardship for them with the fuel crisis. Ohuabunwa said: “It is unfortunate that Nigerians would have to go through this hardship in the midst of plenty; we are acclaimed the fifth largest oil producing nation. I think it is important that the government in power apologizes to Nigerians because the level of hardship is getting too much.” He continued: “It is very clear that this scarcity has gone off hand, we cannot manage it, we have been on it for over two months now. The Minister of State has said it would abate in two weeks, but the Minister of Petroleum who is President Buhari has not said anything. We should look for a lasting solution so that we do not relapse into this again”.
In Abuja, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, stated the fuel scarcity would end in Lagos and Abuja tomorrow, while it would end in other states by the end of the week. He also stated that the Federal Government was considering the privatization of the petroleum industry, so that the operators would source and run the industry, while the government would only be involved in price regulation. He explained that with regulating the petrol prices, the country had been able to save a lot of money within the first three months of the year, adding that the savings would be used to fund the gap recorded in pricing in April.
He said: “The reality is that in the first three months of the price modulation, our recovery basically enabled us to save quite a lot of money and that is going to fund the gap that we see in April. But for May, obviously, the prices would have to be adjusted to mark the current trends. Our proprietary positions are for two different concerns. As petroleum Minister, my goal is to make sure that the price of crude oil continues to climb, but as NNPC GMD, our goal is to ensure that people buy product at cheaper price. They do not go together somehow. So most times, I try to balance the curve. The whole fuel queues had been a complete nightmare for me. The reality is that I hurt more than every Nigerian who is at the filling stations. I am very emotional about my job and the things I do. We just need to take the right policies. As hard as they are, as difficult as they come, we need to take the right policies to ensure that we do not have a recurrence of this fuel subsidy. It has been with us historically, but I don’t want that to define my legacy in the petroleum sector. Hopefully, by tomorrow, Thursday, the fuel queues in Abuja should be over. Hopefully, the same thing should happen in Lagos and, thereafter, by the weekend, we should see same in Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, Port Harcourt and a few other states,” he said. | 2019-04-26T01:46:23 | http://classic97.net/fg-review-fuel-prices-scarcity-continues-06-04-2016 |

As part of our run of posts focusing on the important role social media plays within inbound marketing, we dive in and discuss how important social media content is in relation to your wider inbound campaign. This is why it's one of the key inbound marketing resources.
We have been using our own inbound marketing experience (we are a Platinum HubSpot agency, host the Manchester HUG, spoke at the national HUG in Oxford and have helped many clients) as well as findings from the latest State Of Social Media report released by Buffer.
We will look at the role that social media plays in an inbound marketing campaign as well as providing some real life examples to help put the theory into context.
Helping visitors at this early stage of the Buyer's Journey is important because they are fresh to the problem and they can be nurtured into becoming a customer/conversion.
Using social media is a cost effective means of potentially reaching billions of potential customers. It's how you share your content and offers and put it in front of users in a non-intrusive way.
Not that paid posts should be ignored.
You can also use promoted posts on social media to quickly extend the reach of your content. This is great for getting your brand in front of highly targeted and segmented contacts. You can pay to appear in front of specific demographics and behaviours which are in line with your Target Persona.
But the content you pay to promote will still follow the inbound methodology and help them with their Pain Points. Learn more about crafting an inbound campaign from our own director.
As you help users and visitors along their Journey, you are building a relationship with them which is established on trust and helpfulness. And this is a recipe for turning them into a Promoter once they have paid for your services.
Which is another reason that social media is of massive importance when it comes to inbound marketing.
At the time of writing, a big proponent of turning customers into Promoters on social media is the supermarket chain Lidl, with their #LidlSurprises campaign.
Building on their tactic of using screenshots of customers Tweets on in-store signage and on the side of delivery vans, their Christmas campaign involves lowering the price of items the more they get discussed on social media.
And the thread from this tweet, as well as the general conversation on the hashtag "#LidlSurprises", about buying Christmas treats from Lidl is fuller than the inn at Bethlehem all those years ago.
Transport this principle into your own setting and it is easy to see the massive potential for your social media accounts appearing to new users.
As more and more users find their content on social media - the management of your accounts needs to be spot on. It needs to be shareable (so users can pass it on with a share), accessible and relevant.
So How Important Is Social Media Content?
There is another enormous reason that your social media content matters to your inbound marketing efforts.
The majority of your visitors, over time, will be finding your informative and helpful content via search engines.
When users are in the Awareness stage and looking for information around their Pain Point, they will likely head to search engines, along with social media.
And the most used search engines are pulling social media content into the SERP so that users can get a feel for that particular result's style.
This means that you need to be always aware of what image your social media is showing.
For example, Bing has started rolling out a feature that includes a company's latest two Facebook posts in their answer card. At the very least, these posts need to be recently updated and engaging.
Bing is pulling company Facebook posts onto the SERP, as noted by The SEM Post.
Google has been showing more and more Twitter carousels on their results page.
As a side note, this particular example (below) is interesting in terms of using the SERP to build your authority and help your inbound efforts.
A search for a company name which two businesses share highlights the authority issue. The top organic result and Twitter carousel is dominated by a clothing brand (on the left), but the larger SERP real estate space and contact information is owned by an insurance firm.
Both would boost their authority by owning the Twitter carousel as well as the company information box.
But purely in terms of inbound marketing, the ability to have your company Twitter feed showcased in a prime SERP position is crucial for driving home your authority to users in the later Consideration and Decision stages.
If they are heading to Google to give yours and a competitor's site one last look over before picking up the phone or placing an order, this is the type of thing which could sway the decision in your favour.
Providing the Tweets which are showcased are authoritative, relevant and impressive, it's yet another opportunity to nurture a user along their Journey.
Look at how this nationwide car dealership keeps their feed fresh and on-topic, and it works towards their goal - attracting more visitors.
From left to right, Message 1 and Message 2 are aimed at the latter two stages of the Buyer's Journey, whereas Message 3 (4 hours ago), builds brand awareness and spreads a positive message without pushing any products directly.
Message 1 would appeal to somebody deciding between electric vehicles (Decision Stage), Message 2 would resonate with a searcher who is in Consideration of the options open to them, whilst Message 3 might spark the interest of someone in the very early stages of their research process. It makes the sales team at "#Ford #Preston" seem approachable and human.
This makes for effective management of the dealership's social media content, as the three tweets cover all stages of the Buyer's Journey, include relevant copy ("#Preston") to attract users, and are authoritative enough of an account to be pulled through into the SERP.
To make your inbound marketing as great as it possibly can be, social media is just one aspect. This post has touched upon PPC and SEO, but not even addressed Content, Strategy and everything else you need to improve.

The Federal Government says the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is ignorant of the depth of unity in the diversity of Nigeria.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed stated this on Wednesday in Abuja when he featured on “Embelembe” a phone-in radio programme on 101.1 Human Rights Radio.
The Minister faulted the group over hate and divisive speeches by its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, the violent attack of the military and extortion of innocent Nigerian at illegal road blocks.
Giving instances, the Minister said that the call by Kanu on the Igbo “not to attend any Church where the pastor is a Yoruba man” is premised on ignorance on the diversity of the country.
Mohammed said that the Mountain of Fire Ministry established by an Igbo, has a Football Club owned by a Yoruba, with a coach from Igbo extraction and players across all the regions and tribes of the country.
He stressed that Nigerians are so interwoven and united and a call for violent division would not succeed.
Mohammed noted that the Federal government was not adverse to agitations from any quarter provided it is carried out in a manner that would not result into violence and war.
He commended the military, the state governors particularly from the East and the North, the traditional rulers and religious leaders for their timely intervention to nip the crises started by IPOB’s in the bud.
The Minister said the government of President Muhammadu Buhari is passionate about the plight of Nigerians and would not rest until it makes life easier for everyone.
He said as a listening government, the Administration is taking concrete steps to address the environmental degradation in the Niger Delta.
Mohammed also disclosed that no fewer than 3 million pupils were being fed in 14 states while 30,000 cooks were engaged through the Federal Government feeding programme.
He enjoined Nigerians and followers of the programme to download his ministry’s information apps, “FGNiapp” to access authentic information, programmes and agenda of the government.
The anchor of the programme, Ahmed Isa, popularly called “Ordinary President” said Nigeria’s unity is like a bunch of broom, the more and bigger it is, the better for the country.
He expressed worry over the dimension the IPOB protest was going, stressing that government must do all within it means to address it.
Isa said: “The way things are going, I am not happy. | 2019-04-22T08:52:55 | http://www.nan.ng/news/ipob-ignorant-nigerias-unity-lai-mohammed/amp/ |

Home » Guest Post: What’s Behind Patch Design?
Guest Post: What’s Behind Patch Design?
As long as there have been reasons to mark accomplishments and alliances, there have been emblems to commemorate those milestones. From the US Army to the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, all the way up to the astronauts corps, patches have been a way to indicate individual and team achievements.
Patches and insignia do not appear in a vacuum. Careful design work, often between many people, goes into each patch. A patch has to communicate to an observer and also should have some meaningful connection to the wearer that instills pride and honor.
Like all artwork, from sculptures and architecture to paintings, the genesis is a simple idea. The designer may have a general notion, working closely with other people involved to round out the message.
For example, an astronaut “crew patch” will express some of the ideals or goals of the crew for that mission. If it is a mission to bring a new component to the International Space Station, it should somehow illustrate that so when someone in the future looks at the insignia, they immediately understand their primary mission.
Other key parts of good patch is design include symbols of the mission or crew. They may be cultural or ethnic in origin or indicate patriotism when specific details of a national security mission are shrouded in secrecy. Symbols may give homage to those they wish to memorialize or express gratitude for. Most patch designs will mix these elements. It is up to the designer to work closely with the crew to establish what concepts and messaging they want to include in the design and how they may want to express them.
When I say “designer” keep in mind I am not specifically referring to a professional graphic designer. Design comes from many places and in many forms. Some patch designs start out as a general idea that may originate from a family member or close friend. There are cases where a contest is held and a winning design is selected, often from people in a specific region. Of course, many designs do originate from professional graphic designers who work with the crew or organization. The organization may have a specific, established aesthetic. For example, SpaceX and Orbital Sciences have an in-house designer for all their patches so they have a consistent branding represented.
I have talked about crew patches, but there are also patches that mark significant milestones or commemorate specific events. For example, there is a patch that every shuttle astronaut earns after their first space shuttle flight called the “Mach 25” patch. You will see this worn proudly on every blue NASA jumpsuit worn by a veteran shuttle astronaut. The only way you can earn the “Mach 25” patch is to experience a flight on the a Space Shuttle because they are the only vehicles capable of flight at 25 times the speed of sound! Other patches may mark an individual astronaut’s flight into space, these are referred to as “personal patches” and they usually contain design elements of their specific mission objectives for their flight or stay on the ISS.
Not all patches are intended to commemorate specific individuals. Patches have been designed for agencies, payloads, unmanned probes, and even experiments that never leave Earth. However, they are just as meaningful and sentimental to the people involved. Many different organizations and thousands of individuals may contribute to a specific launch so it is not uncommon for a single mission to result in five or ten different patches awarded to different teams and contractors! A Spacelab module mission on the Space Shuttle can yield dozens of patches, one for each of the multitude of experiments on board. However, even small, terrestrial experiments have insignia for their teams or individuals as a way for them to commemorate their participation and be recognized for their efforts.
I have had the opportunity to design several official patches for NASA. I am not a graphic designer by trade; in fact, far from it, being a software engineer as my day job. My interest in design stems from my own personal interest in collecting many types of NASA patches. I have slowly accumulated a familiarity and appreciation for with what elements go to into patch designs.
A number of years ago I seized a unique opportunity to design a patch for a the former Star Trek actress, Nichelle Nichols who was to fly on board NASA’s SOFIA airborne observatory. The final look of this patch was somewhat unique in that the design was fully my own creation but she loved it as-is and carried the patches on board the flight!
From that opportunity sprouted many more chances to design official patches for NASA! Those patches would all be collaborative efforts with the teams involved so their specific messaging, milestones, and objectives would be conveyed on the artwork. I am fortunate to have been granted extensive liberty with these designs, so I have been able to explore different approaches in my own style of expressing their ideas. I feel particular pride in being able to contribute to an agency and to people that I have had so much personal interest and gathered so much excitement my entire life. It has been a greatly rewarding experience and I cannot describe how it feels to see my artwork in the wild!
I was ecstatic to be asked to be a part of the iLEAD panel to review patches designed by students. I was amazed by both the execution and design aesthetic of the participants and had a difficult time selecting the final picks. I look forward to seeing designs from these bright minds in the future.
About the author: Liem Bahneman is a lifelong space enthusiast. His interests range from astronomy and high-altitude ballooning, to spaceflight and everything in between. While he is a software engineer by trade, he has found great joy in collecting NASA and spaceflight-related patches. More recently, he has cultivated an exciting creative outlet in actually designing embroidered patches for NASA missions that lacked their own official insignia for other collectors. This would eventually lead to real opportunities to design official project and mission insignia for NASA and the Boeing Company. He hopes to someday design a mission emblem for an official interplanetary probe or manned mission to space.

"The smaller detergent paste plant will be commissioned in February 2018, following significant delays experienced in clearing critical spares and equipment from South Africa," Sayed Mahmed, the company's managing director said.
Trade Kings Zimbabwe's plants will generate much needed foreign currency for the country while local production will also reduce the country's current reliance on imported detergent products. Construction of the plant as well as installations were done through local contractors under the supervision of Desmet Ballestra S.p.A, global leaders in spray drying and detergent technology.
"At full capacity the plants will employ between 400 and 500 people, the majority of which will be involved in production and develop skills associated with state of the art technology and machinery," he said.
The investment into local detergent manufacturing is in consonant with Government's blueprint under Zim-Asset and in September 2015 the project was granted National Project Status. | 2019-04-25T21:54:19 | http://www.businessdaily.co.zw/index-id-Business-zk-40084.html |

When I interview a candidate for any position, I always explain to them that First Liberty is a Community Bank. What does is it mean to be a Community Bank? At First Liberty, we are talking primarily about two things.
First of all, First Liberty Bank strives to be an engaged and vital corporate citizen in the communities in which we are located. We provide financial services, the vast majority of which are provided to individuals and companies that are located in Greater Oklahoma City and Norman, Oklahoma, where our banking offices are located. This does not mean that we never leave these boundaries – sometimes there is a valid reason to do so. But when we are marketing our products and services and when we are calling on potential clients, we are very nearly always focused in our home communities.
We are fortunate to be in The United States of America, where we have the freedom to pursue our business opportunities. We are lucky to be in the Great State of Oklahoma, where we have abundant resources, a reasonable cost of living, and a bunch of great people. We are grateful to be in Greater Oklahoma City and Norman, both vibrant, growing communities where opportunities for success abound.
As grateful corporate citizens, we believe it is our duty to give back to our communities. We support a number of civic and charitable organizations and activities that are such a vital part of our communities and our society as a whole. We do so with our resources, but not just our financial resources. We encourage our staff members to volunteer their time and to provide leadership in organizations and causes that are near and dear to their heart.
Secondly, First Liberty Bank is a community in and of itself. We are a community of people that are striving toward a common goal. Of course, like any for-profit company, we are trying to become a highly profitable business that rewards our owners. But we want more than that.
We are working to build a community of people that will make our company special, and we ask them over and over to do three simple things: Be Kind, Be Genuine, and Bend over Backwards to Serve the Relationships we establish. Though these may seem like ‘soft’ parts of our business plan, I truly believe they are as important a part of the success we have enjoyed as any strategy we have implemented.
If you are ever in need of financial services, think Community, it’s the ONLY way to Bank!
And if you are looking for a Community Bank to open an account or pursue a career, I hope you will give First Liberty Bank a try. We will Be Kind, We will be Genuine, and We Will Bend over Backwards to serve you.
Please don't hesitate to contact me at 405.608.1903 or jroot@myfirstliberty.com if there is anything I can do for you. | 2019-04-21T05:13:12 | https://www.bankadviser.com/firstlibertybank/e_article003639406.cfm?x=b11,0,w |

Last Tuesday a shooting occurred at Emerald Park in Eugene, leaving two men dead — one of whom was the shooter — and one severely injured. The shooter has been identified as a former Army veteran, and police have begun to investigate the reasons as to why this shooting occurred.
According to the veteran’s neighbor, the man had severe PTSD, and police confirmed that he had legal troubles since his return from the serving three tours in Iraq. These legal troubles included two counts of unlawful abuse of a firearm ranging back from August 2015.
Found in his home dead from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the former Army veteran has shaken up the local community with everyone asking why such a horrific event could occur — looking for something or someone to place blame on.
Some will question his background, some will question his religion, but many will be too quick to over-simplify their judgements about mental illness.
Mental illness is a source of contention between scientists and mainstream media. One side has the ability to conduct extensive research in order to understand the complexities of the human psyche and reactions to its environment. The other pushes easy-to-believe, harmful propaganda that demonizes issues rather than attempting to fully understand them.
A massively common misconception about mental health illness and disorders such as PTSD, Schizophrenia and Bi-polarism is that they are directly related to violence, and people with these conditions are volatile cocktails waiting to explode. This belief is not the case.
According to scientists all over the globe, mental disorders such as PTSD, schizophrenia and bi-polarism are not nearly as violent as they are portrayed in everyday media.
The news media in every form relishes in the idea of jumping on a story that will immediately grab audiences. It’s hard to blame them for that. It is the goal of media to get the word out to as many people as possible — but what if that word is completely misleading, harmful or flat-out wrong?
The real danger at play is the stigma associated with mental illness. Mass shootings and violent crimes happen — but when the blame is shifted to the mental illness of an individual, instead of taking all factors into account, it results in the demonization of a massive amount of people who are combating disorders that are not violent in almost all cases.
A study released by Jeffrey Swanson and three other prominent psychiatric and psychological scientists stated “Epidemiologic studies show that the large majority of people with serious mental illnesses are never violent.” Often, people who have serious mental illnesses are more likely to be the victim of a violent attack rather than the aggressor. The study shows that association with gun violence and mentally ill people is the result of suicide.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise. These people are having to exist in a world that has developed shallow, demonizing labels in a form of pseudo-bullying that claims their “kind” are responsible for mass shootings, deaths and tragedy that a majority of us would never think to commit in the first place.
Every time the news and social media portray mental disorders as violent, unpredictable and dangerous it becomes a counterproductive measure to rehabilitation and further postpones our understanding on how to treat these disorders. If the community does not attempt to become more educated, the stigma on mental illness will continue to jeopardize the treatment of those suffering. | 2019-04-25T06:29:28 | http://www.lcctorch.com/2016/04/mental-health-issues-misunderstood/?share=twitter |

Have a question about our Steadyrack vertical bike racks, shipping, returns, warranty policies or something else? You’ll most likely find the answer here, however for all other concerns and enquiries please get in touch with our Support team at support@steadyrack.com.
Do all the racks pivot?
Yes – all of our racks pivot almost 160 degrees on the wall.
What is the function of the rear wheel bracket/rest?
The rear wheel rest/bracket is designed to universally work with all tyre widths, including fat tyres. Narrow tyres will generally sit deeper in the bracket (more so than wider tyres). Your tyre is only required to have partial contact with the rest for it to perform its function and prevent the bike from swinging from side to side. We designed the rear wheel rest/bracket to complement the design of our racks and we felt that a larger rest/bracket wasn’t necessary.
Why doesn’t my Steadyrack bike rack swivel/pivot easily?
Our bike racks can be quite stiff when you use them for the first few times. They should loosen after some use however if you find that they are still not pivoting as required, you can follow this procedure. Steadyrack bike racks are assembled using a specific torque setting for the nuts that hold the central spine to the top and bottom mounting brackets. This setting is designed to give sufficient tension to the pivot to ensure bikes can be loaded on any angle without the rack moving around excessively. When you remove the 2 plastic caps from the top and bottom, these nuts will become exposed. You can loosen both nuts and it will free up the rack’s movement. Equally, you can tighten them to lock the rack into position. This is due to the type of fibre washers we use to assist with the stiffening affect.
Does the bike rack need to be at 90° to the wall when mounting & dismounting my bike?
No – you can load and unload your bike from our racks at various angles on the wall. Be sure that you simply line your bike up with the angle of the rack before pushing it in.
What colours do your bike racks come in?
Our Classic, Fender and Fat Racks all come in black only, however you can customise your rack using our wide range of coloured End Caps.
Can I lock my Steadyrack so that it stays in one position?
No – however it is possible to restrict the movement of the pivot. Simply remove the 2 end caps and tighten the 2 nuts that attach the central pivot bar to the mounting brackets. Be careful doing this, making sure that your fixings are secure, as any pressure sideways will put extreme pressure on the mounting bracket fixings.
Will your bike racks work for small children’s bikes?
The smallest diameter wheels we recommend are 16 inches. Any smaller and the tyres won’t contact the two V shaped cradling points in the rack – the forks will actually rest on the bars before the tyres connect with them making the distance between the two V’s a bit too much. We have had a bit of success with placing some Velcro straps on the bottom arm to shorten the distance between the 2 points, but the bikes are not as stable, and you would need to strap the wheel to the upper arm of the rack with Velcro as well.
Is there any downside to using the Fender Rack versus the Classic Rack?
The only difference between these two racks is the fact that the Fender Rack will work for both types of bikes. There are two main reasons people choose the Classic over the Fender if they don’t have a bike with a fender; the first is security, as the plastic saddles are easier to cut which is a potential problem in exposed environments. The second is price, as the Fender Rack is slightly more expensive.
What are your racks made from?
Our racks are made from steel and UV treated plastic.
Can I mount your bike racks onto the side of a van?
Yes – we use our racks for transporting bikes in a trailer to and from events so this should work in the same way for a van. We tie the bikes down with Velcro straps and then fold them over the top of each other. We also wrap a long bungy cord across them so they don’t move around too much. They travel really well cushioned by the front tyre and as long as you don’t have any metal to metal contact you shouldn’t have any issues.
Can I hang my bike in a Steadyrack by its rear wheel, not the front wheel?
No – our racks won’t work with a rear wheel because of the derailleur and gears. One of the main features of our bike racks is the way you roll your bike in and out; there’s no lifting of the bike. It’s very easy to balance the bike on the rear wheel and push it forward until the front tyre engages with the rack. This would be difficult to do with the rear tyre in the rack and it wouldn’t sit well in the rack with the derailleur.
Which rack do I need for my bike?
To find the best suited rack for your bike, you will need to measure your wheel diameter and tyre width. You can learn more about these measurements here. Tyre widths more than 2.4 inches will need a Fat Rack.
My tyre width is 2.4 inches. Will I need a Classic Rack or Fat Rack?
Make sure you’ve triple checked this measurement. 2.4 inch wide tyres can fit into our Classic and Fender Racks, however they will be a snug fit. You can choose our Fat Racks for this tyre width, however the wheel will not fit as snug. If you are unsure about which rack you should purchase, please feel free to contact our team.
Does the Fat Rack come with a different rear wheel support bracket/rest?
The rear wheel support bracket for the Fat Rack is the same size as those used for the Classic Rack and the Fender Racks. You may find that it won’t cradle your rear wheel entirely, however but it will stabilise it and stop it from sliding out when pivoted as it’s designed to do.
What is the minimum wheel diameter that will fit in a Steadyrack?
Our bike racks are suitable for bikes with wheel diameters between 20 and 29 inches. This is to ensure that the bike fits in the Steadyrack arms snugly, and safely. You can check your tyre size against our product information on this page.
What is the maximum tyre width that will fit in a Steadyrack?
The Classic and Fat Racks will accommodate tyres up to 2.4 inches wide and the Fat Rack will accommodate tyres up to 5 inches wide.
How far will my bike stick out from the wall when pivoted against the wall?
It really depends on the width of your handlebars, saddle height and pedals. It will fold until the handlebars touch the wall, however not quite 90 degrees or flat to the wall. For a normal road bike bar we would generally allow about 90cm or around 18 inches and a MTB with wider bars around 100cm or 20 inches from the wall.
How do your bike racks avoid damaging carbon wheels?
One of the main features of our bike rack design is the fact that it is the most suitable rack for carbon wheels. There is less pressure on the bike when it is the rack than when riding it and the Steadyrack won’t damage your wheels like hooks can. The wheel is cradled between the two V shaped cradling points created when the arms are folded down and the tyre cushions the wheel and bike. There should be absolutely no need to do any maintenance on your rims or wheels if you use a Steadyrack.
What comes with the Steadyrack bike rack?
1 plastic rear wheel rest/bracket which should be fixed to the wall in line with your rear wheel axle (see our installation instructions and videos for more information).
4 bolts and plugs for installing the rack.
2 smaller screws and plugs for the rear tyre rest/bracket.
There are 4 mounting holes on each mounting plate. You should only use two of these holes to fix your rack to the wall or frame. The two vertical aligned holes are for fixing to studs and the two horizontal aligned holes are for fixing into masonry.
How close together can I install my racks to each other?
The distance apart is very dependent on your individual situation. The racks can be spaced closer together by staggering the height of each rack to ensure the bikes’ handlebars and pedals do not clash. Alternatively, you can space them farther apart and utilise the pivot action to allow the bikes to move closer to the wall. You can learn more about spacing your racks with our Spacing Guide found on our Manuals page. We strongly recommend measuring your bikes first and then using our manuals as a guide.
What height can I mount my racks at?
The perfect mounting height is achieved when a bike is hanging in the rack and the rear wheel is close to the floor, but not touching. This ensures the least amount of rise to load the bike. Bikes will come in different lengths and therefore different mounting heights which is why we suggest measuring your bikes first by following our installation guide.
What type of walls can the racks be mounted to?
Our racks can be installed on almost all types of walls, including masonry, timber or steel framed, brick, or concrete. For timber framed or steel walls you must locate the framing first and check with your local hardware supplier for advice on the correct type of fixings for your wall type. For more installation information, please read our installation guides.
What if my studs aren’t where I want to put my racks?
No problem – you can fix rails across the studs at your preferred mounting height and then space your racks along the rails. Another option is to fix a sheet of 10mm ply across the top of your wall lining or studs and then screw your racks to the ply in the exact location you want them.
Will I need to buy fixings for my bike rack?
We provide fixings suitable for installing your Steadyrack bike racks onto timber and masonry. Should you need to install your rack onto a different surface (e.g. steel) then we recommend visiting your local hardware store for advice on suitable fixings.
Do I need to install the rear wheel bracket/rest?
Although we recommend installing the rear wheel bracket/rest with your Steadyrack bike rack, if circumstances restrict you from installing it, the rack will still perform as required. You may find that your rear wheel might move more than usual without the rest however it’s not vital that this be installed.
What size masonry drill bit do I need for installing into brick?
You will need a 10mm drill piece for the Steadyrack bike rack and 6.5mm for the bottom bracket.
How do you mount a Steadyrack using the fixings provided?
The Steadyrack bike rack kit comes with 4 bolts and plugs for installing the rack and 2 smaller screws and plugs for the rear tyre rest/bracket. There are 4 mounting holes on each mounting plate. Use 2 of these holes only to fix your rack to the wall or frame. The two vertical aligned holes are for fixing to studs and the two horizontal aligned holes are for fixing into masonry.
Do I have to use all 4 fixing bolts provided?
Yes – we recommend that you use all 4 fixing bolts provided.
Can I install my Steadyrack bike racks outside?
Yes – you can hang your Steadyrack bike racks outside, however it’s not covered by our warranty.
Shipping times and deliveries vary depending on your country, region and location. Your estimated shipping delivery time will show at the checkout, however please keep in mind that these may not take into account courier operating days, public holidays and other delivery parameters. Once you have placed your order online, it can take from 1 – 2 business days to process your order.
A full list of our shipping countries and regions can be found here. If your country or region is not listed, please email our team at support@steadyrack.com to see how we can arrange sending our racks to your location.
We work hard to ensure that our Steadyrack bike racks are manufactured to the highest standard. However, if you find a fault or you are dissatisfied with your Steadyrack for any reason, please contact us at sales@steadyrack.com so we can assist you further.
Is there a Warranty on the Steadyrack?
Yes – you can view our warranty information here.
Where can I buy Steadyrack in stores?
The easiest and most convenient way to order our bike racks is through our online store. Some retailers and dealers across the globe stock our bike racks, however we cannot confirm the what their stock levels might be.
Yes – we do have a wide range of distributors. If you are interested in becoming a distributor for our Steadyrack bike racks, please visit this page.
Are Steadyrack bike racks safe to use for bikes with hydraulic brakes/forks/suspension?
Yes! This a common concern for many bike owners with these types of brakes and suspension. When your bike is hung up vertically, the fluid in your forks will run towards the seals and keep them lubricated. This will prolong their use, so it’s actually good for your bike and forks to hang it vertically on our bike racks. If you have hydraulic brakes on your bike, the fluid will run down when the bike is hung, so we advise pumping the brakes a few times when you take the bike off the rack if it’s been there for a while. The shocks shouldn’t leak when the bike is hung up, however if they do then it’s a good indication that the seals might need replacing.
Are your bike racks safe to use for aero/time-trial bikes?
Yes – however you will most likely need a Fender Rack. If you have an aero bike you will need to measure the gap between the down tube and tyre (you can see this measurement here). For most bike this will be more than 10mm, however if your distance is less than this, you will need a Fender Rack. This is because the rubber end on the Fender Rack can easily fit between your tyre and down tube and won’t damage your frame if it comes in contact with it.
What options exist for locking my bike onto your racks?
Your bikes can be locked through their frame and the 2 arms of our Steadyrack bike racks using either a D Lock or cable lock – this will depend on the type of bike you have. Remember that it’s always better to keep your bikes out of a visible location to avoid theft even if your bike is locked.
What bike storage solutions do you have for a commercial bike parking facility or project?
We have a wide variety of options for bike parking projects and end of trip facilities. For all enquiries of this kind, please contact our team.. | 2019-04-20T15:10:28 | https://www.steadyrack.com/faq/ |

Whose Pocket is Montana’s Legislative Leadership Team In?
How the system works is that individuals and political committees donate to candidates.
When those candidates win and take office and head to Helena for the legislature, those individuals and committees become lobbyists.
Oh, they don’t do it themselves – don’t be silly!
No, they pay other people to lobby for them. You can spot these lobbyists a mile away – shiny shoes and fancy suits and smelling like they spilled the bottle of cologne all over themselves. And God…those smiles.
So we have rather nefarious people buying-off candidates with political contributions (legalized bribes) before they get elected, and then buying them off with lobbyists after they take office.
This is how our system works.
My goal today was to dig into the finance reports of the 20 members of the 150-member 2019 Legislature to see which individuals and committees bought them off before they were elected, with the goal of ascertaining whose interests those ‘leaders’ will be working toward over the next four months of chaos in Helena.
I have to admit, I went in with an agenda.
I wanted to see how many candidates took money from healthcare-related groups…candidates who – once elected – would be voting to either continue or end Medicaid expansion in Montana, something we typically refer to as Obamacare.
My agenda was dashed quickly, as it became quite apparent that healthcare wasn’t the industry most interested in swaying the legislature.
So let’s get into the candidates so you can see for yourself, and then I’ll give you a short conclusion based on history.
Let’s start with the leadership of the Montana Senate.
Scott Sales is the GOP president of the Montana Senate, and in a way, one of the top dogs of the whole 2019 Legislature.
He took money from Charter, Northwestern Energy, BP North America, the Association of Montana Troopers, the Montana Land Surveyor’s PAC, Montana Wood Products Association, Motorola, MDU Resources (an infrastructure group), and BackPAC (a group that mostly gives to congressional democrats).
Other groups include Health Care Services Corporation Employees’ PAC, Montana Independent Bankers, and Weyerhaeuser…which bought Plum Creek Timber in 2016 for $8.4 billion. That means the company took control of the 6 million acres Plum Creek had, including the 770,000 acres here in Montana. Weyerhaeuser now owns over 12 million acres of timberland in the US, making it a huge business, and political lobby.
When it comes to individuals that are donating to him, we’re really interested in what business they’re in. For instance, we see that the president of Century Gaming based out of Billings is donating to him.
As a quick aside…Elsie Arntzen’s husband, Steve Arntzen, is the president and CEO of Century Gaming. Elsie ran for and won the OPI spot in 2016, and I find the fact that Elsie’s husband donated $230 to the now-president of the Montana Senate – and the fact that he in turn donated $790 to Elsie in August 2016 – to be quite questionable ethically.
Other gaming interests that gave Sales money include route operators for Golden Gaming as well as Rocky Mountain Gaming. Besides that we see lots of attorney’s giving to this man, as well as an executive from Chevron and the vice president of Plum Creek. Clearly, he’s in the gaming lobby’s pocket most of all, though, though timber is coming very close.
Here are some other members of the legislative leadership team.
Mark Blasdel: This guy has finance reports dating back to 2008, but for the 2018 report what stood out to me where the number of individuals associated/employed by the gaming industry. We have Century Gaming & Technology, Diamond Jim’s owners, Dotty’s Casino owners, Nickel’s Casino route operators, Town Pump route operators and many more. Clearly, Blasdel is in the gambling lobby’s pocket.
Fred Thomas: The architect of Montana deregulation has reports going back to the year 2000. We’ll focus on his 2016 reports. Mostly, Thomas is getting his money from ranchers and retired people. He also gets a lot from the gaming industry, including the Gaming Industry Association. Another is from Montanans for Affordable Housing. Thomas will likely vote against Medicaid expansion, but he has taken a lot from nursing industry workers, doctors, medical consultants as well as Consumer Direct Care Network…a group that represents over 27,000 care workers. This guy’s in both the gaming industry’s pocket, as well as the medical lobby’s pocket.
Cary Smith: This guy has reports going back to 2008, but we’ll focus on 2018’s. Lots of gaming business owners gave him money. Big committees giving him money include Charter, Ash Grove Cement, Montana Action Committee for Rural Electrification, Conoco Philips, CVS Health, and a property insurance group. The CEO of the Montana Medical Association gave him money. This man is in the rural infrastructure lobby’s pocket.
Steve Fitzpatrick: We have to go back to 2016 to get reports for this guy, and we see that lots of gaming industry folks gave him money, as well as the vice president of Blue Cross Blue Shield and the CEO of Benefis, as well as that company’s vice president and COO. Both an attorney and the chief of staff of the Montana Department of Justice gave him money. Leaning toward the medical lobby’s pocket.
Jon Sesso: Now we’ll get to the democrats, and this man has reports going back to 2006. His latest is from 2016. He took from GlaxoSmith Kline, Weyerhaeuser, BNSF, Charter, Motorola, Phillips 66, route operators for Golden Gaming and Rocky Mountain Gaming, as well as the CEO of Golden Gaming and that company’s manager. Mostly, this dem is in the gaming lobby’s pocket.
Jennifer Pomnichowski: This woman has reports going back to 2010, but we’ll focus on 2018. She took from Charter, Trout Unlimited, the VP of Distributed Gaming for Golden Entertainment, and that company’s CEO. This woman is in the gaming lobby’s pocket.
Margie MacDonald: This woman has reports going back to 2012, but we’ll focus on 2016. She took from Carol’s List, Charter, attorneys, and lots of people that don’t have job. Employees for Zinc Air, Inc. were big contributors. The governor even contributed. Honestly, the amount of “not employed” I see listed in her reports is alarming, and I’m not able to pinhole which industry bought her off.
Let’s switch gears and look at the leadership of the Montana House.
Greg Hertz: This guy has reports going back to 2012, but we’ll focus on 2018. The owners of Town Pump gave him a lot across multiple finance reports. He took from the executive director of the Gaming Industries Association of Montana and the CEO of Century Gaming, as well as that company’s CFO. Optometrists gave him a lot. Golden Gaming is another big contributor. Clearly, this man’s in the gaming lobby’s pocket.
Wylie Galt: This Republican took from the BCBS Health Care Service Corp. Employees PAC, the Montana Beer and Wine Distributors Association, the Wood Products Association, and Weyerhaeuser. I’d put him in the timber lobby’s pocket.
Brad Tschida: This Republican took from Northwestern Energy, bankers, insurance folks, and storage business owners. Doctors gave him a lot, as did retired folks and business owners. Greg Gianforte kicked some money his way, as did a Las Vegas gaming business person. I’m not able to pigeonhole which industry pocket he’s in.
Becky Beard: This Republican took from Northwestern Energy and Weyerhaeuser. She got cash from the director of the Montana Tavern Association twice and the directors of Town Pump several times. The executive director of the Gaming Industry Association of Montana donated. Conoco Philips, CVS Health, and Montanans for Affordable Housing PAC all gave her money. The CEO of Century Gaming donated, as did the managing director of Grand Vision Gaming. This woman is clearly in the gaming lobby’s pocket.
Dennis Lenz: This guy has reports going back to 2010, but we’ll focus on 2018. Northwestern Energy gave him money, as did Greg Gianforte and a couple of optometrists. Besides that, workers from Rocky Mountain Gaming, Golden Entertainment and Golden Gaming all gave him money. He’s in the gaming lobby’s pocket.
Derek Skees: This guy took money from Century Link, consultants, retired people, Greg Gianforte, and the owner of Golden Entertainment in Las Vegas. To me, he’s rather clean…but he is still taking gaming money so I’ll also put him in the gaming lobby’s pocket.
Seth Berglee: He takes money from the Montana Beer & Wine Distributors Association, the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Montana PAC, Charter, Century Link, Weyerhaeuser, lots of retired people, Tim Fox, and fellow legislative leadership team members, Greg Hertz and Brad Tschida, as well as Theresa Manzella. I’d put this guy in the telecom’s pocket.
Casey Schreiner: This democrat took money from Magellan Health Services Employee Committee, Northwestern Energy, Steve Arntzen of Century Gaming, the managing director of Grand Vision Gaming, and the CEO of Century Gaming. He took from lots of retired people, as well as teachers, lots of tavern owners, as well as the owner of Nickel’s Casino and Town Pump and the head of the gaming industry association. He also took money from fellow leadership team members, Kim Abbott and Shane Morigeau. This guy is in the gaming lobby’s pocket.
Shane Morigeau: This Democrat took from the Montana Troopers PAC, Northwestern Energy, Weyerhaeuser, Charter, the owner of Town Pump, lots of attorneys, the president of Century Gaming, the manager of Grand Vision Gaming, the general manager of Century Gaming, and fellow leadership team member Casey Schreiner. I’d have to put this guy in the gaming lobby’s pocket.
Kim Abbott: She took from the Montana Trooper PAC, a couple of Missoula PACs, and the owner of Golden Gaming and Entertainment. She’s pretty clean.
Denise Hayman: This person didn’t raise or spend any money that I can see.
Laurie Bishop: This woman took from Carol’s List, some Missoula PACs, MT Med PAC, retired people, and the owner of Golden Gaming Entertainment in Las Vegas. For the most part, this woman is pretty clean.
Of the 20 members of the 2019 legislative leadership team, 11 of them are beholden to the gaming lobby.
Is that good, and if so…for whom (and why)?
I have to say…all of this talk of gaming in Montana got me thinking about our representative in Washington from 1961 to 1971, Arnold Olsen.
He was born in Butte during the Great War and worked in the machine shops and compressor plants of the Butte mines while taking breaks from law school in Missoula. He served in the Navy during WWII and got elected as Montana’s attorney general in 1948. At 33, he was the youngest AG in the country.
And boy, did he hate gambling!
He decried it, calling gambling operators “leeches living off the working man.” He didn’t just speak out, he took action. “He outlawed slot machines, accusing owners of escaping responsibilities as taxpayers while raking in $22 million annually.” Olsen argued that by getting rid of the slot machines the money was going to stay in Montana’s economy, not go out of state to wherever the “leeches” were from.
Because of his judiciousness in going after gambling, the 1951 Legislature didn’t appropriate any money to his office to “continue the anti-vice work.” Still, a reelection in 1952 proved he had the support of Montanans.
Olsen ran for governor and lost, but then got himself elected to a decade in Congress before fading from Montanans’ minds entirely. No one today remembers him.
Few know anything about gambling, either, or the money it brings in.
In 2015, the 16,000 video gambling machines in Montana produced $398 million in revenue for their owners, or about $24,000 a machine.
This in turn brought in $60 million to the state’s general fund via taxes (the tax rate is 15%).
Live bingo and keno don’t even come close, generating just $7,000 in taxes per year based on the 1% tax they experience.
So we’re bringing in at least $60 million a year in taxes from this, and legislators want that money, and gaming industry folks don’t want to pay anymore than that.
And it’s a lot more than it used to be. Back in 1994 the state saw $31 million in taxes for it and various counties come from the $505 million that gambling generated in the state ($444 million from video machines alone).
For over two decades now, the gaming industry has managed to lobby the legislature to keep their taxes low.
Is this good for Montanans?
Despite this revenue, many Montanans develop gambling problems, even addictions. It was estimated that “8,000 to 16,000 Montana residents have been problem gamblers at some point in their life,” according to a 1992 report.
What’s more, “another 3,500 to 11,500 Montanans may have been pathological gamblers.” The studies also revealed that the “percentage of female problem and pathological gamblers” was higher than any of the other states in the 8-state study.
No wonder why Olsen called ‘em leeches. They don’t get a lot of attention, either. It’s not like kicking an old person out of their nursing home. No, gambling works a slower kind of rot on individuals and families, a level of decay that can take years or decades to fully manifest itself.
To our legislative ‘leadership’ team, however, gambling and those who push it are a good source of income…both for the state and for their campaigns.
The gaming industry has the legislature in its pocket more than any other industry.
Is this good for Montana?
Well done. I'm glad you're back in your blogging chair.
I got a couple emails saying about the same, thanks! | 2019-04-20T07:06:00 | http://www.bigskywords.com/montana-blog/whose-pocket-is-montanas-legislative-leadership-team-in |
Brad Galbraith is a multi-sport athlete in the Cayman Islands. He has a background in football, recently finished a youth basketball season and is now sharpening his skates for his first love: hockey.
In particular Galbraith, who turns 18 this month, is guiding a roller hockey team on Grand Cayman. The Ottawa native is team captain of the Legendz Longhorns in the Logic Adult Roller Hockey League. The competition started earlier this month and sees matches every Tuesday evening at the Logic arena of Kings Sports Centre.
Galbraith’s Longhorns are in action tonight at 9pm. The Longhorns may be a new name in local hockey but are essentially the same Barracudas squad from last year. In spite of his age Galbraith is no stranger to the sport having played the last four years.
In fact the son of Heather and Greg Anderson states his expectations this season are lofty.
“I think we can win the Cherry Cup,” Galbraith said. “I’m comfortable with the team. We have Jason (Windsor) who I feel is the league’s best defender. In fact he’s one of the best defencemen I’ve ever seen. We have Jeremy Olynik returning in net.
“He is one of the best goalies out there and he had the best save percentage last year. Chris Anton is versatile in defence and Eric Lacasse is back and he was a good asset. Eric was a good scorer but more importantly he kept people away from the net on defence.
“Granted our defenceman Jeff Danter is out this season because he left the island for family reasons. I’m also worried about Mark Thompson and his back health. If he can’t play well that can be an issue.
Among the teams that could stifle those title aspirations are perennial powers the High Rollers and ITS Cayman (formerly the Budget Beavers). The High Rollers have traditionally been the best defensive side while ITS have consistently posted gaudy offensive numbers. Even the Islanders, who overcame years of futility to win their first championship last season, are threats.
Galbraith is well aware of the changes in all of those sides and feels that the Islanders are the team to beat at the moment. “ITS have a new goalie in Randy Cannon (who plays for the Pirates in ball hockey) and he should make a difference. Last year the Beavers had a porous defence. This year they look like a better team as Randy will be hard to beat in net.
“The High Rollers are good too but the defending champion Islanders scare me the most. Mind you they now have Scott Hughes in net with Nigel Windsor out for the season with a groin injury.
Galbraith, who is only 5ft 7in and 110lbs, has some pressure to replicate his form from last Fall.
He had his best statistical campaign and saw his club rise to a second-place spot in the standings. Even though his side fell short of a title, Galbraith has plans of outdoing himself stats-wise.
“I think my best season was the championship one last Spring. No one expected us to win and I can’t explain how good it was to win the Cup. Being a captain (for the first time) last Fall had extra responsibilities.
“I had to make tough calls and it was extra pressure. But it brings leadership out of you and I couldn’t imagine posting 33 points before the season started. It was an amazing year. | 2019-04-20T02:51:57 | https://www.caymancompass.com/2011/02/22/galbraiths-ready-to-lead-legendz/ |

There is confusion laced with fear in the mind of every publisher in the world. This is especially true of the old titans of the print media who view the Internet with a mixture of lust and suspicion. Until just a few years ago, a print media empire like the New York Times Company was unassailable by virtue of its size. They could drown out any competitive voice by sheer volume of circulation. Even a market as large as New York City could be virtually monopolized by three daily papers, the New York Times, the ever plebeian Daily News and Murdoch’s tabloid, the New York Post. Most other American cities have markets dominated by a single paper.
Before Gore invented the Internet, the print media was a tidy little business dominated by a few publishers who made fortunes that made them king makers. Randolph Hearst was a publisher who was arrogant enough to start the Spanish-American war through his infamous campaign of yellow journalism.
In a similar fashion, The New York Times Company has a management and editorial staff that have arrogated the power to make and change America’s policy in the Middle East. This is especially true when it comes to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. The Machiavellian princes at the Times will not shy from publicly tormenting any American politician who dares have a view that clashes with Israeli ‘wisdom’. Their power has been such that America now has a Middle Eastern foreign policy that is based on Zionist historic mythology. It is also a policy that caters to Israel’s every ambition.
These old school media titans plan to hold onto their market share and will not easily shed their power to sway public policy. Thinking themselves invincible, they are making a play for dominating advocacy journalism on the Web. They bring to this virtually impossible task the heavy artillery of their historical record. One could not design a more lethal two-edged sword.
Imagine the challenges they face on the views and news they have printed on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict over the last fifty years. The ‘vaunted’ content they wish to leverage on this particular subject is very tainted material. I predict that the credibility of this news organization will be damaged by a technology that gives a new generation of cyber journalists immediate access to archives that can easily be impeached by those who have not swallowed whole the encyclopedia of Zionist mythology.
New lessons are quickly being assimilated by nimble dot.com competitors who do not carry the baggage of archives. The burden of these tainted archives will be the Achilles heals of the ‘established’ print media. The rules of the games in advocacy journalism are changing faster than a click of the mouse. Consider that every article a journalist or an editor pens today, becomes a permanent record. Every legitimate response also gains an eternal shelf life. If a journalist twists his news or his facts, the evidence of tampering will not get lost in the recycling bin. It can be accumulated on a tiny disk. Indeed, the titans at the Times have not only to worry about the news they print today, they need to worry about an Archive that goes back 50 years and speaks volumes about the nature and extent of shameless pro-Israeli advocacy.
The New York Times tradition of tainting the news on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is one that predates the founding of the Jewish State. In New York, Israel is a local issue. That is why this particular municipal paper devotes so much space to the subject. And that is just one subject matter they need to fret about. It would be hard to believe that the complaints about the content of their archives will emanate only from those of us who know Palestinians history. Their role as in the attempted theft of the presidential election has no doubt created serious concerns in serious quarters.
LATE IN SEPTEMBER, the Palestinian Authority kicked off a campaign of organized violence meant to hasten the final ”liberation” of Israel from the Jews. The fighting began with mobs throwing rocks and firebombs at Jewish civilians and vehicles. Soon it escalated to militiamen firing automatic weapons at Israeli troops – often from behind Arab teenagers used as human shields.
There have been scenes of shocking barbarity. On the eve of Rosh Hashana, a Muslim throng on the Temple Mount plaza hurled stones and bricks on worshippers at the Western Wall below. In Nablus, Arabs demolished Joseph’s Tomb, torching and smashing the ancient shrine in a frenzy of desecration. On Oct. 11, gunmen opened fire on mourners carrying Rabbi Hillel Lieberman to his grave; the rabbi had been killed trying to save the Torah scroll at Joseph’s Tomb. When three Israeli reservists took a wrong turn into Ramallah, two of them were lynched, their corpses mutilated beyond recognition, thrown from a window, and dragged through the streets. The third, it was reported, was burned in his car.
As If that is not enough inciteful and hysterical hate mongering, this moron of a bigot goes on to state that Palestinians are letting their kids become ‘martyrs’ in exchange for cash from the Palestinian Authority. Maligning and defaming the fallen Palestinians and their mothers with this particular bit of slander has appeared once too often in Sulzberger’s publications. It cannot be written off as the work of a deranged solitary journalist.
No kind of apology will ever suffice for this kind of vindictive graffiti that pollutes many a page published by the New York Times Company. It is one thing for the Times to be a belligerent in the Palestinian/Israeli conflict and quite another to practice the arson of defamation. The Palestinians have no refuge from the Times, but Arab-Americans and the Muslims of America will long remember the vilification and manufactured disdain that have become a nauseating by-product of pro-Israeli advocacy at The New York Times. The arsenal buried in the archives of Mr Sulzberger’s publications inflicted many a wound to our collective memory.
Jacoby’s article completely ignored the almost 200 Palestinians who had been killed by the IDF at the time the article was published. Also unmentioned by Jacoby are the thousands of Palestinians who were maimed and mutilated by the unrestrained force being applied by the IDF. Nothing is said about the extent of property damage inflicted on Palestinians and the desecration of their mosques and churches. Jacoby’s racist drivel can always be found in the archives of the New York Times Publishing Company (Boston Globe Division).
What was even more outrageous about this particular ‘Boston Globe / New York Times’ Jacoby article was that it came in response to a full-page advertisement by the American-Arab-Anti-Discrimination Committee in the New York Times. Yet there is no mention in Jacoby’s article that his paycheck is written by the New York Times Publishing Company. Sulzberger and his company have no qualms about selling space to an Arab-American civil rights organization in one of his publications and turning around and allowing The Boston Globe’s Jacoby to slander every Palestinian victim, every Palestinian victim’s family, every Arab, every Arab-American and every Muslim-American. Sulzberger is not beyond selling an Ad to a baker and then spreading ruinous rumors about his dough.
All this is nothing new for Sulzberger and his minions in New York and Boston.
They have long considered it fair game to malign fellow Americans of Arab descent We are just considered a side casualty of the Israel Firster’s attempt to demonize the Palestinians. Well, let them write what they want. We just need them to remember to leave a copy in the archives.
It is said of lawyers that 99% of them give the other one- percent a bad name. I don’t know what the exact figures are for New York Times journalists. But the archives paint a pretty dismal picture. Every journalist at the Times and the Globe writes in the company of other journalists who get paid by Sulzberger. Jacoby, Sontag, Safire, Friedman and Bob Herbert toil at the same place as Anthony Lewis. Can it be that Lewis was blind to the suspect journalism of his colleagues? Does Jacoby’s attitude extend to those who do the hiring and firing at the New York Times?. How diverse is the staff at this print media empire, anyhow? Time for nothing but worries at the New York Times. Infested archives are the dry rot that will reduce Sulzberger’s print empire back to being just another ethnic provincial paper. The internet is not good news for the print media titans. | 2019-04-25T18:33:39 | https://mediamonitors.net/archives-the-achilles-heals-of-media-titans-2/ |

My sister often says to me: reach for the better feeling.
I am trying now to bring you a message of hope – that when things seem/feel most bleak, to keep reaching for the better feeling even if your practice does include the dark sunglasses of wallow and dirge.
And to eat nourishing food.

BBC Midlands Today anchorman, also presenter & chat show host, Nick Owen, says he loves the Rex Cinema in Berkhamsted, Herts.
«The Rex Cinema in Berkhamsted, Herts., was the scene of my first kiss – Nick Owen reveals. – I was sitting in the back row watching the Elvis Presley film Kid Galahad with my first girlfriend Philippa. She was 5’5” and I was 5’3” but, even then, size didn’t matter!
I slowly plucked up courage to put my arm around her shoulder. Then, I went inexorably to that first, momentous and historic kiss. It was like being plugged into an electric socket! What a buzz that I’ll never forget».
The cinema itself was an interesting Art Deco building. So unusual was it that it’s been the subject of a long-running battle to save it. It has now been preserved as a cinema, amongst other things, and was recently described as ‘possibly the most beautiful cinema in the land’. For me as a youngster, it was just about the only place for entertainment in my small hometown, within walking-distance of home and, to this day, remains jam-packed with wonderful memories.

One of Indonesia’s cultural heritage is an art craft that are scattered throughout the islands of Indonesia from Sabang to Merauke. There are more than 300 tribes that are diverse in local languages, customs, arts, traditional houses, and crafts products.
Indonesian craft forms influenced by elements of animism and dynamism. This old belief influenced the culture brought by traders from India, China, and Persia. And is also influenced by the arrival of the Europeans, when traveling to look for herbs that grow in Indonesia. These traders settled and brought their traditions and arts and culture. Culture is what acculturated with local cultures that have influenced the development of local art.
Various craft has now developed in Indonesia such as Woodworking, silver, batik, weaving, bamboo, metal, leather, wicker, rattan, pottery and ceramics, glass, painting, and traditional house. | 2019-04-26T16:36:05 | http://www.allstorehospitality.com/indonesia-craft/ |

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket and the DSCOVR space-weather satellite on the launch pad at Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Launch is scheduled for the evening of Feb. 11, 2015.
SpaceX has scaled back the daring rocket-landing test that it plans to perform after it launches a space weather satellite today (Feb. 11).
The private spaceflight company had intended to try landing the first stage of its Falcon 9 rocket on an "autonomous spaceport drone ship" in the Atlantic Ocean during today's liftoff of the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), which is scheduled to take place at 6:03 p.m. EST (2303 GMT) from Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. You can watch the SpaceX launch live online, courtesy of NASA TV, beginning at 5 p.m. EST (2200 GMT).
But rough seas have scuttled that plan.
"The drone ship was designed to operate in all but the most extreme weather. We are experiencing just such weather in the Atlantic, with waves reaching up to three stories in height crashing over the decks," SpaceX representatives wrote in an update today. The drone ship, called "Just Read the Instructions," is named after a fictional sentient colony ship from the science fiction novels of author Iain M. Banks.
"Also, only three of the drone ship's four engines are functioning, making station-keeping in the face of such wave action extremely difficult," SpaceX representatives wrote in the statement. "The rocket will still attempt a soft landing in the water through the storm (producing valuable landing data), but survival is highly unlikely."
"Because DSCOVR is traveling to deep space, the moon's location on Feb. 12 through 19 would be close enough to DSCOVR to affect the spacecraft's trajectory," NASA officials wrote in a blog post today. "This would require performing mid-course correction burns that would use more fuel than what is planned for the mission. After today, the next launch opportunity would be on Friday, Feb. 20, at 5:43:44 p.m. EST."
Weather forecasts predict a 90 percent chance of good conditions at the launch pad today, and more manageable high-altitude winds, they added.
The $340 million DSCOVR mission, a joint project of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NASA and the U.S. Air Force, is headed for the Earth-sun Lagrange Point 1, a gravitationally stable spot in space about 930,000 miles (1.5 million kilometers) from Earth. The spacecraft is designed to watch for strong solar storms that could affect power grids and satellite operations here on Earth.
The DSCOVR project began in 1998 as Triana, an Earth-observing mission championed by then-Vice President Al Gore. It was mothballed in 2001, then resurrected as a space-weather effort in 2009.
The rocket-flyback maneuver is part of SpaceX's effort to develop fully and rapidly reusuable rockets, a key priority of the company and its billionaire founder and CEO, Elon Musk.
SpaceX has already succeeded in bringing a Falcon 9 first stage down for a soft ocean splashdown. Last month, the company tried the bold boat landing for the first time and nearly pulled it off: The rocket stage hit its target but came down too hard and exploded on the deck.
Editor's Note: This story was updated at 2:45 p.m. EST to reflect SpaceX's decision not to pursue the drone ship landing with the Falcon 9 rocket stage. | 2019-04-20T18:45:26 | https://www.space.com/28528-spacex-launch-moon-blackout.html |

A mother- of- two from Coventry appeared in court yesterday accused of providing weapons and military equipment to a terrorist group allegedly linked to al Qaida.
Frzana Khan(41) from Anerly Way, is charged with two counts of conspiracy to provide money and other property to Lashkar- e- Tayyiba, a Kashmiri separatist group.
She appeared before Bow Street Magistrates' Court in central London along with Mohammed Ajmal Khan ( 30) and Palvinder Singh (29).
Both Khan, of Broad Street, Coventry, and Singh, of Freeman Street, Coventry, are also each charged with two counts of conspiracy to provide funds and other equipment to the group.
Mohammed Khan is also charged with directing part of the Kashmiri separatist group and with being a member of the group, a " proscribed" organisation.
All three defendants are alleged to have supported the organisation by providing funds and other equipment, including Kevlar, high technology equipment and firearms that could be used for military purposes.
All three were remanded in custody to reappear before the Old Bailey on March 14. | 2019-04-18T10:32:52 | https://www.birminghampost.co.uk/news/local-news/coventry-terror-trio-appear-court-3998341 |

Gossip Girl alum Penn Badgley made his Miami Art Basel debut with his band MOTHXR at the Life of the Party event held at the Brickell City Centre on Nov. 28. He and the band had throngs of ladies and fans hanging on every lyric as they played songs from their new album, including "Victim, She Can't Tell" and "Touch." The band later dined at hotspot Quinto La Huella at EAST, where Badgley, now rocking blond locks, was overheard telling a fan it was their first time playing in Miami and they couldn't wait to come back.
STK Midtown New York City was lively on Saturday night as the cast of Saturday Night Live and host Emma Stone descended upon the restaurant for an after-party that went well into the early morning. Cast members, including Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, and Leslie Jones, began filing in around 1:30 a.m. and were joined shortly after by Questlove as well as Stone. Colin Jost, Kyle Mooney and Lorne Michaels were also in attendance.

If you choose to send your son or daughter to 8th Ashford, on the first evening they attend you will be asked to stay for an induction meeting. During this meeting each adult will be issued with the above mentioned yellow card for their own information and safeguard. Also discussed and handed out will be the Criminal Records Bureau Clearance Application Form.
Many adults through their own careers or past times may have alreday completed a 'DBS' form at some time. You will be asked to submit another on behalf of Gillwell the Scout Association Headquarters, if you wish to contribute your help for trips and activities. One clearance certificate does not globally cover you for any association. Again these forms and any matters arising will be covered in your first induction meeting.
Please read the latest information from The Scout Association regarding DBS Clearance. | 2019-04-23T00:36:53 | http://8thashfordscouts.co.uk/crb.asp |

For other uses, see Oxalis (disambiguation).
Oxalis /ˈɒksəlɪs/ is a large genus of flowering plants in the wood-sorrel family Oxalidaceae comprising about 570 species. The genus occurs throughout most of the world, except for the polar areas; species diversity is particularly rich in tropical Brazil, Mexico and South Africa.
Many of the species are known as wood sorrels (sometimes written "woodsorrels" or "wood-sorrels") as they have an acidic taste reminiscent of the sorrel proper (Rumex acetosa), which is only distantly related. Some species are called yellow sorrels or pink sorrels after the color of their flowers instead. Other species are colloquially known as false shamrocks, and some called sourgrasses. For the genus as a whole, the term oxalises is also used.
These plants are annual or perennial. The leaves are divided into three to ten or more obovate and top notched leaflets, arranged palmately with all the leaflets of roughly equal size. The majority of species have three leaflets; in these species, the leaves are superficially similar to those of some clovers. Some species exhibit rapid changes in leaf angle in response to temporarily high light intensity to decrease photoinhibition.
Several Oxalis species dominate the plant life in local woodland ecosystems, be it Coast Range ecoregion of the North American Pacific Northwest, or the Sydney Turpentine-Ironbark Forest in southeastern Australia where least yellow sorrel (O. exilis) is common. In the United Kingdom and neighboring Europe, common wood sorrel (O. acetosella) is the typical woodland member of this genus, forming large swaths in the typical mixed deciduous forests dominated by downy birch (Betula pubescens) and sessile oak (Quercus petraea), by sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus), common bracken (Pteridium aquilinum), pedunculate oak (Q. robur) and blackberries (Rubus fruticosus agg.), or by common ash (Fraxinus excelsior), dog's mercury (Mercurialis perennis) and European rowan (Sorbus aucuparia); it is also common in woods of common juniper (Juniperus communis ssp. communis). Some species – notably Bermuda-buttercup (O. pes-caprae) and creeping woodsorrel (O. corniculata) – are pernicious, invasive weeds when escaping from cultivation outside their native ranges; the ability of most wood-sorrels to store reserve energy in their tubers makes them quite resistant to most weed control techniques.
Tuberous woodsorrels provide food for certain small herbivores – such as the Montezuma quail (Cyrtonyx montezumae). The foliage is eaten by some Lepidoptera, such as the Polyommatini pale grass blue (Pseudozizeeria maha) – which feeds on creeping wood sorrel and others – and dark grass blue (Zizeeria lysimon).
Oxalis species are susceptible to rust (Puccinia oxalidis).
Wood sorrel (a type of oxalis) is an edible wild plant that has been consumed by humans around the world for millennia. In Dr. James Duke's Handbook of Edible Weeds, he notes that the native American Kiowa people chewed wood sorrel to alleviate thirst on long trips, the Potawatomi cooked it with sugar to make a dessert, the Algonquin considered it an aphrodisiac, the Cherokee ate wood sorrel to alleviate mouth sores and a sore throat, and the Iroquois ate wood sorrel to help with cramps, fever and nausea.
The fleshy, juicy edible tubers of the oca (O. tuberosa) have long been cultivated for food in Colombia and elsewhere in the northern Andes mountains of South America. It is grown and sold in New Zealand as "New Zealand yam" (although not a true yam), and varieties are now available in yellow, orange, apricot, and pink, as well as the traditional red-orange.
The leaves of scurvy-grass sorrel (O. enneaphylla) were eaten by sailors travelling around Patagonia as a source of vitamin C to avoid scurvy.
In India, creeping wood sorrel (O. corniculata) is eaten only seasonally, starting in December–January. The Bodos of north east India sometimes prepare a sour fish curry with its leaves. The leaves of common wood sorrel (O. acetosella) may be used to make a lemony-tasting tea when dried.
A characteristic of members of this genus is that they contain oxalic acid (whose name references the genus), giving the leaves and flowers a sour taste which can make them refreshing to chew. In very large amounts, oxalic acid may be considered slightly toxic, interfering with proper digestion and kidney function. However, oxalic acid is also present in more commonly consumed foods such as spinach, broccoli, brussels sprouts, grapefruit, chives, and rhubarb, among many others. General scientific consensus seems to be that the risk of sheer toxicity, actual poisoning from oxalic acid in persons with normal kidney function is "wildly unlikely".
While any oxalic acid-containing plant, such as Oxalis, is toxic to humans in some dosage, the U.S. National Institutes of Health note that oxalic acid is present in many foodstuffs found in the supermarket and its toxicity is generally of little or no consequence for people who eat a variety of foods.
In the past, it was a practice to extract crystals of calcium oxalate for use in treating diseases and as a salt called sal acetosella or "sorrel salt" (also known as "salt of lemon"). Growing oca tuber root caps are covered in a fluorescent slush rich in harmaline and harmine which apparently suppresses pests. Creeping wood sorrel and perhaps other species are apparently hyperaccumulators of copper. The Ming Dynasty text Precious Secrets of the Realm of the King of Xin from 1421 describes how O. corniculata can be used to locate copper deposits as well as for geobotanical prospecting. It thus ought to have some potential for phytoremediation of contaminated soils.
Several species are grown as pot plants or as ornamental plants in gardens, for example, O. versicolor.
Oxalis flowers range in colour from whites to yellows, peaches, pinks, or multi-coloured flowers.
Some varieties have double flowers, for example the double form of O. compressus. Some varieties are grown for their foliage, such as the dark purple-leaved O. triangularis.
Species with four regular leaflets – in particular O. tetraphylla (four-leaved pink-sorrel) – are sometimes misleadingly sold as "four-leaf clover", taking advantage of the mystical status of four-leaf clover.

The only foodstuff that contains oxalic acid at concentrations high enough to be an actual toxicity risk is the leaves – not the stalks, which is what one normally eats – of the rhubarb plant. (And you'd need to eat an estimated 11 pounds (5kg) of rhubarb leaves at one sitting for a lethal dose, though you'd be pretty sick with rather less.)"
^ http://dietary-supplements.info.nih.gov/factsheets/calcium.asp "Other components in food: phytic acid and oxalic acid, found naturally in some plants, bind to calcium and can inhibit its absorption. Foods with high levels of oxalic acid include spinach, collard greens, sweet potatoes, rhubarb, and beans. Among the foods high in phytic acid are fiber-containing whole-grain products and wheat bran, beans, seeds, nuts, and soy isolates. The extent to which these compounds affect calcium absorption varies. Research shows, for example, that eating spinach and milk at the same time reduces absorption of the calcium in milk. In contrast, wheat products (with the exception of wheat bran) do not appear to have a negative impact on calcium absorption. For people who eat a variety of foods, these interactions probably have little or no nutritional consequence and, furthermore, are accounted for in the overall calcium DRIs, which take absorption into account."
