WWE News: 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin Reveals If He Can See Himself Having One More Match
WWE legend "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is still a prominent figure in the wrestling industry, especially after finding his calling as an interviewer. He hosts a podcast and conducts interviews with modern stars and legends on his Broken Skull Sessions show for the company's streaming service. According to Austin, this is the closest he'll come to getting physical with wrestlers ever again.
In a new interview with Fox Sports, "The Rattlesnake" confirmed that his in-ring days are over. While he said that he enjoys returning to the company's flagship programming every couple of years for segments, some of which see him performing a Stunner, he doesn't have the itch to lace up his boots ever again.
"I don't want to do nothing else in the ring. I'm done. I've retired. Everybody knows that. I don't need to go out there and drop anybody on a stack of dimes and give them stunners. Once in a year, once every two years, whatever."
The sports entertainment business is littered with stories of retired superstars coming back for one last hurrah. Shawn Michaels returned in 2019 after vowing to never step back into the ring after his initial retirement. The Undertaker, meanwhile, recently admitted that he'd consider having another match if Vince McMahon was in a pinch.
Austin, on the other hand, has resisted the allure of a comeback, even though most fans would love to see him take on a dream opponent. The former World Champion even believes that he's healthy enough to compete, should he ever decide to, but that day will never come.
As Bleacher Report pointed out, Austin said that he could still wrestle "in theory." He also said that he wishes that he got to face Hulk Hogan, John Cena and other major stars that he never got to wrestle during his prime. Austin revealed that he could realistically compete for two years on a full-time schedule, but he'd only do it if he really needed the money.
Should Austin ever be tempted to return, he might find a willing opponent in Hogan. As The Inquisitr previously documented, the "Hulkster" is keen to have one more bout at a WrestleMania pay-per-view.
During his conversation with Fox Sports, Austin stated that he enjoys being a fan these days. According to the future Hall of Famer, he's loved the business his entire life, and some of the current crop of performers impress him.
Austin cited Bayley, Charlotte Flair and Drew McIntyre as some of his current favorites on the roster. "The Rattlesnake" also revealed that he gave Kevin Owens his blessing to use the Stunner, suggesting that he fully endorses the former Universal Champion.

One phrase that perfectly captures Amazon's crazy obsession with numbers
In fact, data crunching is so prevalent across the whole company, it's not hard to find signs that show almost religious obsession over data analysis, according to a former employee.
REUTERS/Shannon Stapleton
Amazon is notorious for its intense data-driven decision-making culture.
"Managers had signs outside their offices that said, 'In God we trust. The rest, bring me data,'" Guru Hariharan, a former Amazon engineer who's now running his own e-commerce software startup called Boomerang Commerce, told us.
"It was common to have heated debates around data," he said. "It was like, 'I don't trust your subjective opinion. Bring me data-driven opinion."
Amazon's obsessive culture over data analysis is a by-product of its founder and CEO Jeff Bezos. According to the New York Times' August report on Amazon's corporate culture, Bezos once tried to convince his grandmother to quit smoking by providing data that proved she was losing a few minutes of her life for every puff she inhaled.
Naturally, Bezos' data-obsession has seeped in to the whole company's business culture. One former Amazon employee was also quoted in that NY Times story as saying, "Amazon is driven by data...It will only change if the data says it must - when the entire way of hiring and working and firing stops making economic sense."
That kind of work culture could make Amazon a difficult place to work for, Hariharan agreed. "It's definitely a tough environment. There's some very direct questioning that's happening on conference calls and metric meetings and so on," he said. "It's very data-driven, cut-throat...It's not for the faint-hearted. "
But Hariharan said his experience at Amazon was what built the groundwork for his current startup, which provides optimized pricing and inventory data for retailers. "I enjoyed my time there. It was a great training ground for me, and it ended up defining my DNA from a workplace standpoint," he said.
Disclosure: Jeff Bezos is an investor in Business Insider through hispersonal investment company Bezos Expeditions.

A man who allegedly shot and killed two people inside a Camden motorcycle clubhouse in September was identified and arrested Friday
Chris Sheldon
A man who allegedly shot and killed two people inside a Camden motorcycle clubhouse in September was identified and arrested Friday, authorities said.
Loring Lindsey, 40, of Camden, was charged with two counts of murder and weapons-related offenses, according to a joint statement from the Camden County Prosecutor's Office and the Camden County Police.
Officers responded to the Wheels of Soul clubhouse on the 800 block of Princess Avenue in the Parkside neighborhood of the city around 1:45 a.m. on Sept. 20 for a report of a shooting inside the business, police said.
When they arrived, they found Jermaine Wilkes, 38, and Jamill Jenkins, 32, both of Philadelphia, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, the office said. Wilkes was pronounced dead at the scene and Jenkins died at an area hospital later the same day, authorities said.
After investigating witnesses who were inside the club on the day of the killings, detectives ultimately identified Lindsey as the shooter and located him Friday inside a home on the 1900 block of Pierce St. in Camden, police said.
Lindsey was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force – Camden Division and was taken to the Camden County Correctional Facility where he awaited a detention hearing, authorities said.

Got a speeding ticket? Tired of the increasing creep of revenue collecting speed cameras and cops hiding in the bushes?
ROAD LEGAL ® is your Speed Specialist. We can help you fight back.
We don't buy into the fake news we hear from the New Zealand Police and NZTA. Speed doesn't kill, poor decisions do.
We've been saying that for years.
Road safety depends on all sorts of things, like the quality of roads, vehicle technologies and capabilities, driver training and decision making, and enforcement visibility and powers. Nowadays there are far more cars and miles travelled, and far less accidents. Our true incidence of road deaths has been cut by 75% since 1989. This huge improvement in road safety statistics coincides with better roads, better cars, staged driver licensing, and improved policing. It's not just about speed or alcohol.
We should carefully examine government adverts and use of statistics about speeding. We've all seen the adverts about how speed kills. But what does that really mean and how fairly is this being put? In 1973 New Zealand lowered the speed limit from 100km/h to 80km/h because of the oil crisis. Over the next 10 years there was a 17% increase in fatalities despite a lower speed limit. Similar results have been found in Canada and the United States of America, where increasing speed limits has lowered crash rates by between 8 and 13%.
Experts agree that the New Zealand Police deliberately misrepresent the truth about the role of speed in accident statistics. Others say police perpetuate dangerous driving by ignoring idiot and slow drivers. When was the last time you saw police charge the slow driver for inconsiderate driving, an actual offence against s 37 of the Land Transport Act, rather than slapping an easy money speeding ticket on the safe driver overtaking the idiot?
If speed alone was dangerous we would expect thousands of police officers to be charged with dangerous driving offences. While police are exempt from speed limits when on urgent duty, they are never exempt from dangerous driving. In other words, police speed legally but not dangerously on tens of thousands of urgent call outs every year, because police know that speed is not dangerous in itself.
Then there's the double standards. In 2015 over 1000 police officers, some 8500 NZTA vehicles and some 3900 Crown cars (presumably carrying politicians and other government actors) were shown to have broken speed limits. Most of those were not on urgent duty or exempt from the speed limit. Most were simply breaking the law that they are supposed to enforce and promote. Just the police speeding itself amassed some $200,000.00 of fines in 2015.
Wonder if the New Zealand Police completed s 133 declarations to name the officers driving and have them pay the bill? Surely the New Zealand Police would't shield their officers from misconduct by waiving speeding infringements or paying them as the vehicle owner, using taxpayer recirculated dollars? Aren't the fines suppose to be about deterring speeding drivers, including police officers? Or doesn't the law apply equally to police?
What's worse to us than the hypocrisy of police officers, NZTA staff and other government actors breaking the law is the propaganda that they push in the media about how speed kills. Yes we should obey speed limits because that's the law, but don't tell us that exceeding a speed limit is in itself dangerous. That is simply wrong and disingenuous. No m an can rewrite the law of physics, and no man should mislead us – especially using taxpayer money whilst they break the law themselves!
Now the government wants to erode our privacy further by adding point to point cameras to their revenue collecting tools – despite there being no evidence it works and the great majority of people seemingly not wanting them.
Call 0800 ROAD LEGAL for if you need advice on demerit points or a speeding offence lawyer. Police radars and speed cameras and their operators are not infallible, despite what police and manufacturers may say.

Thank you so much for your help these last couple of weeks. It's been a pleasure to work with you and I can't thank you enough for all your advice and help you have given me to help me proceed my claim. Hopefully the Solicitors can help me get what I deserve from this matter. At the end of the day I'm not in it for the compensation, I just want the wages I'm owed. It's been a very stressful few weeks. Thanks again!
I'm not one who would look to claiming for anything as I believe that you should earn anything you receive, but for this matter I felt different.
Although the compensation settlement can't take the memory of the nasty accident away, it gives me more freedom to grow my own business, which gives me time with my baby boys.
Claiming personal injury compensation is all new to us and any misgivings I might initially have had were quickly dispelled. We are very impressed with the speed and professionalism you have all shown to date. Regardless of any final outcome we could not expect more and it is reassuring to know you have a clear and reasonable incentive in achieving a successful outcome. I have no problem in your including any of my comments on your website to put others at ease in using your service.

Hungarian Lupus Group
The Gabriella Schopper Hungarian Lupus Group was founded by its denominator in 1993.
Gabriella Schopper had suffered from allergy since her childhood. Later she got steroids due to incipient haemophilia. She was 26 when - in the last period of her problem-free pregnancy - the illness attacked again. Gabriella was living in the United States when it was revealed after approximately one year that behind her accreting complaints there was the SLE. Following the treatments she had become asymptomatic from time to time, while later on periods being full of pains and suffering came. Her marriage got broken because of the illness and finally she made a decision to repatriates to Hungary together with her child. Her American physician recommended to establish a club since all the connection with other patients can help much with bearing the illness in an easier way. She convinced doctors to support them, sought patients, organized meetings, then finally after three years the club formed a group.
It is not an accident that the SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) patients' domestic group of interest coalesced with her name: Gabriella Schopper led the group until her death in 2006. She organized patient-appointments, conferences where specialists reported about the recent illness-related information and treatment methods. They published leaflets, worked on internet forum and website, built up connections with international organizations.
Since 10 May, 2004 has become the world-day of Lupus, the Hungarian group also connected to this international initiative. The goal of the annual world-programme is not simply the spreading of the illness-related knowledge, but the raising of the lupus-related research's financing, and providing the way to make the SLE a public health topic. We call our one-day meeting also as a family day because the illness affects the patients' close and distant relatives in an indirect way too. The Hungarian Lupus Group attended conventions of Lupus Europe several times, so the European organization of SLE patients and the host of the next congress of Lupus Europe in 2010 going to be Budapest.
Our group has doctor register, leaflet, newspaper, exclusive magazine, DVD release, we maintain good connections with other patient groups, with the media and with some pharmaceutical companies. In autumn 2007, country-wide agencies were established. They are working currently at eleven points in the country. The regional representatives' task is providing information for the patients turning to them in e-mail, through phone or personally.
After the reestablishment in 2007 - with Zoltán Purgel as chair - the work became easier. We got considerable financial support due to successful applications provided by the Ministry of Health and besides of this we could gain support from other applications, such as from little membership fees, and from the support of tax payers who are able to give 1% of their taxes to different non-profit groups like our one. Using this income one of our early dreams came true: our magazine Pillangó, our press "The Most Important Questions and Answers" could be published; and DVDs that contain lectures given by specialists.
All of the information can be found on our websites (www.hungarianlupusgroup.org, www.lupuszbetegseg.hu, www.lupusbetegseg.hu, www.magyarlupusegyesulet.hu, www.sle.hu, www.lupusz.hu, www.autoimmun.hu) about the Lupus illness, affections of organs and other autoimmune diseases. All of our publications can be downloaded and viewed in electronic format. Our web page is frequently updated with latest news, information. Our forum receives several comments every day; this is the forum by which autoimmune patients can help each other. We are proud of having a web site where our members can view 78 video movies (lecture) on-line; the length of these is approximately 47 hours.
The group established an award in 2009, which got the name of our vice-chair and international contact person, Krisztina Hevér, who died of Lupus at her age of 34. Our group and the Hungarian autoimmune patients can thank her for working so much for the froup. Krisztina did much for strengthening our international relationships. She helped the Hungarian lupus patients with her civil work. Her eminent work is exemplary for everyone. To give a salute to Her memory, we prepared and published the first Krisztina Hevér Award.
Today, the chair of the group is Zoltán Purgel. They work together with at least ten active co-operate members who help them with great enthusiasm. We do our job in a disinterested way, without any payments. Today the group has about thousand members for whom we organize patient-meetings and forums four times in a year. According to the opinion of the members, these meetings provide an excellent way for the patients to leave their living rooms, to have fun and to find friends.

Chair: Zoltán Purgel
My name is Zoltan Purgel.
Presently, I am the chair of the Gabriella Schopper Hungarian Lupus Group.
My illness was diagnosed in 2000. I have been the member of our association since 2002, and I have been taking an active part in the life of this group as its chair since 2007.
When my lupus was revealed, there was no Hungarian information about this disease on the Ínternet. At this time I decided to create a website where all suitable information can be found about lupus. Later on I got to know that in Hungary there was a lupus association led by Gabriella Schopper. I joined this group and I undertook some tasks, e. g. designing their website, the graphic works of their leaflets.
In 2006 I was astonished to hear that Gabriella Schopper, the founder of this group died. I did not know how this association would work on, and I did not want to let "her heritage" loosen. I tried to look for other leaders, but I had no success.
Since there was nobody who would have liked to become the head of the association, we had to congregate a general meeting in 2007 to dissolve its function. In the last moment I offered that if we joined with each other, we could save it. Fortunately, we managed to do it.
We, 12 of us have been maneging the group lately. All of us are working with no payment as a sideline.
Our common aim is to create an associartion with European standard.
My baby born in 2017. I and my wife lives with SLE. My son may be the first child whose two parents live with SLE.

The Hungarian Lupus Group has been working since 1993.
Unfortunately our association's incomes were decreased during last few years due to the new regulations of NGO and the narrowing of application and competition possibilities for financial support from the government.
To be honest the group was financially more secured 24 years before than nowadays.
Please support us. You can help us even by 1 EUR.
We have many plans for 2018 that we would like to finance from donations.
We would like to celebrate our group's 25th birthday (12 May, 2018) with a whole-day celebration programme including 3 doctor's lecture. For this occasion we would like to give special gifts to our fellow patients as well.
We would also like to publish our Butterfly magazine (36 pages in an A4 format for free).
We are also planning to record videos from doctors during our patient forums and later publishing it on our website.
Buying a new computer and other fixed assets. (Now we have only 1 laptop that is 24 years old.)

The West Coast Girl
Exploring Americana Music with Sarah Jane Scouten
Music by William KennedyPosted on 10/18/2018
Born near Vancouver, British Columbia, singer-songwriter Sarah Jane Scouten says she's a West Coast girl. "I may strike folks as a bizarro Oregonian," she tells me via email.
The three-time Canadian Folk Music Award and Western Canadian Music Award nominee comes to Eugene supporting last year's When the Bloom Falls From the Rose, a collection of tunes ranging from rockabilly to classic country and traditionalist folk.
There are also some modern touches in Scouten's stuff, recalling songwriters like Iris Dement or Lucinda Williams. And Scouten's got the kind of singing voice that, for those frog-voiced among us — like me — leaves our mouths agape, as if to say: "You mean you just open your mouth and that sound comes out?"
In other words, it's beautiful.
Scouten recalls her father teaching her to sing. "It was a way to connect with our dad," she says. "He'd teach me the part, and make me sing it until I knew it like it was a melody."
When it came to intonation or tuning, her dad would tell her, "Make it buzz!"
"Like the buzzing feeling you get in your throat and teeth when you're singing in tune really well with someone," she says.
But Scouten never learned to read music. Her musical training, she says, has always been very practical. "The only notated music I can read is Sacred Harp, or shape-note singing," she adds, "which for most classically trained musicians is a mind-bender."
Although singing came easily for Scouten, playing an instrument was another matter. "I was sick with stage fright during piano recitals," she admits, so she stopped playing. "One day I'll learn to play piano again."
When it comes to her songwriting, Scouten says it's like pulling on a string. "You find the end of it and tug to see what comes out," she says. "You have to start with something — a chorus, a phrase, a chord progression, a title. But you have to have a spark of an idea. The rest is just follow-through, and a lot of editing."
I ask Scouten where all of Bloom's stylistic shifts come from. "It comes from listening," she responds. "I'm a meat grinder. What goes in comes out in a song, or part of a song, eventually."
She mentions a few tracks on the album.
"If I listen to 1920s blues, I write a song like 'Bang Bang,' which turned into a rockabilly thing on the record. If I listen to Willie P. Bennett, I write a song like 'Show Pony.' If I listen to George Jones, I write a song like 'Man in Love.'"
Scouten is influenced by indie pop and even hip hop. "A Tribe Called Quest or Kendrick Lamar are great examples," she notes. "That's where I started thinking about flow, or patter, or just how words come out in a rhythm, while using the harshness or softness of consonants or vowels in an intentional way."
But, she jokes, it's not as if she writes pop-country one song and death metal the next. "The umbrella of Americana music casts a pretty wide shadow, and I think we can get a lot more under it if we loosen up a little."
Sarah Jane Scouten performs with Eugene's Westbound Coyote String Band 9 pm Thursday, Oct. 18, at Sam Bond's Garage; 21-plus.

The shrew told her husband for the millionth time to shut off the light in the bathroom. The shrew had been telling her husband to shut off lights for forty-eight years. She had also been telling him to close drawers all the way, and to quit doing that thing with his mouth. But for the past few months the husband's forgetfulness and self-control had gotten worse. The husband was sick. He experienced a great deal of pain every second of the day. The shrew would feel bad about nagging him but couldn't help it. Even if the husband had all the sudden started to shut off the lights, close the drawers all the way, and stop doing that thing with his mouth, the shrew would still probably yell at him about these things. One day the husband asked the shrew to help him kill himself. The shrew dismissed this idea and even admonished the husband for thinking such a thing. The husband requested her help in dying with the same persistence the shrew had asked the husband to shut off the lights and close the drawers all the way and to stop doing that thing with his mouth. The shrew went for a very long time ignoring the husband's requests until one day she stood outside the kitchen and watched him struggle to open a can of soda until he broke down and cried. When he was done crying he put the can of soda back in the fridge. The shrew set to work to procure the proper drugs. She did this through her sons, who normally avoided interactions with the shrew, but complied because they were delighted to fulfill such a strange request from their strict, tight-laced mom. Maybe the shrew was finally lightening up. The shrew did not tell them the real reason. The shrew waited for the husband to bring up helping him die again and she didn't have to wait long. When he did she said that all was settled and that he could die anytime he wanted. He wanted to die that very day. The shrew set up the bedroom to be lovely with flowers and candles. It looked romantic. The husband took the pills at sunset. The shrew and the husband waited for the effects to take hold. The shrew watched with irritation as the husband did that thing with his mouth, but she didn't say anything.

When I woke up, I let my left foot touched the floor before I stood up. Brushed my teeth, shaking my head beginning from left to right. Got dressed, and did everything again with full focus not to mix up my left from right.
…..That wouldn't be the first time you know…..
I decided to wear Hal Jordan/aka/ The Green Lantern today. Never hurt to have a little superhero to back me up. And I want to stick to my memory list Ramon and I made, so I can use a little Will-Power to remember what my goals are, and make it happen.
I always wear something of Flag Nor Fail, so this time I will take my bright yellow pea coat. To stay reminded that I shall not flag nor fail in what I am set out to do. I will do my utmost best today. And stay bright and positive.
I will bring my memory list as well. I feel rather calm at the moment, but I know I will probably get nervous once we arrive at the hospital. So it will be a good mnemonic device.
I'm all dressed, I'm still calm, and waiting for Ramon to come home.
I'm so glad he is joining me to this new venture.
With all my crazy superstitions, he will keep me grounded. I know I could do it all by myself, but I'm so thankful he is going to be by my side. It makes me even stronger than I am already.
I will take a big cup of chamomile tea, and take a couple of deep breaths….
Something is going to come out of this….
It will not be in vain….
I shall not flag nor fail…..


*Ticket or registration needed. See below for more details.
Our team is busy cracking open some treats that will be available all weekend. Stay tuned to our Instagram, where we'll reveal all the details.
What is an aqua egg hunt you ask? We hide (lots of) balloon weights (not chocolate eggs) in Watsons Bay and kids are encouraged to bring snorkles and go in and hunt for the famous golden star. Different colours mean different chocolate prizes. This year we're hosting two events, one for the small kiddies 8 years and under at 9.30am, and one for the bigger kids 9 years and over at 10.30am.
Our pancake parlour just got better! We'll have an assortment of condiments to keep all the kids happy, with free pancakes for all kids between 10am – 11.30am. No need to register, but we do suggest booking a table to secure a space for the family. For any 10am bookings, please phone or email us as these cannot be done online.
We'll have DJs pumping out the tunes all weekend long. So if you're up for more of a adult Easter celebration, come by after 1pm and have a frosé while the sun says farewell with a pastel spectacular across the skyline.

This 31 Day Bible Reading Plan has 31 different passages of Scripture for you to read on the topic of forgiveness.
You can use this Bible reading plan during your morning devotion time, during family worship time, or anytime you need a reminder about God's forgiveness!
You might like to use this Bible Reading Plan with my Writing the Word Scripture Writing page.
Knowing we've hurt someone can be very painful and guilt can eat away at us. God doesn't want us to carry guilt around for the things we've done in the past.
1. Ask God to forgive you for those things you know you've done to hurt others. Once you've asked the Lord to forgive you, it's time to trust that He is faithful to do just that!
2. Forgive others. It's important to forgive those in your life who may have deeply hurt you – your parents, husband, friends, etc.
3. It may be helpful to ask individuals, perhaps family members, who you know you've hurt, to forgive you. You want to be humble and demonstrate how genuinely sorry you feel. Accept that the other person may not say exactly what you want to hear if they are not ready to forgive you.
4. Forgive yourself. This is perhaps the hardest part. But, I've found that praying and asking God to help me forgive myself for a wrong is really helpful! Also, realize that you cannot change the past, but that today is what matters.

LANDBANK farm lending program approves P17.8B in loans in first 10 months
BW FILE PHOTO
LAND BANK of the Philippines (LANDBANK) said one of its financing programs for farmers approved P17.8 billion worth of loans as of the end of October to 1,245 borrowers, against the year-earlier total of P17.4 billion to 1,220 borrowers.
The bank disclosed the lending totals for the Sulong Saka program in a statement released in conjunction with its sixth AgriSenso forum, which was staged virtually this year.
Sulong Saka is available to individual smallholder farmers, small and medium enterprises, cooperatives, farmer associations and organizations, large agribusiness enterprises and corporations, local government units, non-government organizations (NGOs), and countryside financial institutions.
The program supports the development of high-value crops, nurseries, budwood/mother plant/parent clone gardens, new plantations, and the replanting, rejuvenation and rehabilitation of old trees.
At the forum, LANDBANK Assistant Vice-President Edgardo S. Luzano discussed its other agriculture-focused financing program, the Rural Agro-enterprise Partnership for Inclusive Development and Growth (RAPID Growth) Credit Facility, which is available to cooperatives, farmers' associations and organizations, NGOs, and micro, small and medium enterprises endorsed by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in selected provinces of Regions VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
RAPID, offered in partnership with the DTI and supported by the International Fund for Agricultural Development, offers loans to develop new plantations; replant, rejuvenate, and rehabilitate old trees; establish nursery gardens; support post-harvest activities; and finance processing, manufacturing, packaging, storage, and trading activities.
The bank said RAPID's areas of focus are developing the agricultural value chains for cacao, coffee, coconut, and processed fruit and nuts.
The bank did not disclose loan totals for the RAPID program.
Gerald Glenn F. Panganiban, officer-in-charge director of the Department of Agriculture's (DA) Bureau of Plant Industry, also promoted at the forum technical assistance programs for banana, cacao, coffee, rubber and pineapple, while Mr. Luzano said planters of these crops may also avail of credit packages offered by the bank.
Mr. Panganiban said planters must overcome challenges like limited infrastructure and post-harvest facilities, high production costs, and limited access to quality planting materials.
He added that available support from the DA's High-Value Crops Development Program includes the distribution of planting materials, machinery and equipment, facilities constructions, and capacity-building activities for farmers.
The bank said some of its leading agricultural loan clients are Kennemer Foods International, Inc., the Goodyear Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Multi-Purpose Cooperative, which delivered presentations at the forum. — Aaron Michael C. Sy

Summer is the perfect time to travel, whether you're actually traveling or just armchair traveling. Good thing you probably don't want to explore for real to the criminal underbellies and corrupt regimes that fill the pages of the following books, or at least, you'd want a different experience. This month's international fare features quite a few French releases, including several reissues, with Japan, Scandinavia and the Middle East also well-represented.
Frankly, as a crime reader, you haven't lived until you've lived vicariously through Fabio Montale sitting outside Fonfon's cafe on the outskirts of Marseilles, taking in the sun and some garlic bread and a nice provencal wine, waiting for your next opportunity to fight for the little guy. Fortunately, Europa continues its re-launch of the World Noir series with a new edition of Chourmo, the second in Izzo's famed Marseilles trilogy. Montale is no longer with the police force, now just a friend willing to help out, in this case by looking for his cousin's son, who has gone missing in a crime that involves organized crime, right-wing fanatics, religious fanatics, and a host of other characters who could only converge in Marseilles. Izzo is a towering figure in modern noir. Take the opportunity to revisit his work.
Antoine Laurain is another French writer best known to American audiences for his romantic comedies, but he's just as good at crafting devastating noir critiques of hypocrisy. In Smoking Kills, a man beset by new smoking bans on all sides decides to try hypnotism in order to quit. Unfortunately for the rest of Paris, when he wants to start smoking again, he can only enjoy pleasure in his cigarettes after committing increasingly terrible acts. This feels like the movie I wanted Falling Down to be, except Michael Douglas doesn't have the right sense of humor.
Another French one! What can we say? France is having a good year for crime fiction (and in the World Cup). After a dinner argument over free-range chicken leads to murder, it's up to the neighbors to help a murderer cover up the untimely death of his wife. Babylon is a darkly comedic take on relationships and apartment buildings. You can read an exclusive excerpt here.
The third in Jónasson's Dark Iceland series featuring Icelandic investigator Ari Thor, Blackout is also the best noir use of the 24-hour-sunshine since Insomnia. This appealing mashup of reporter mystery and police procedural is the perfect vehicle to explore the small town complexities of a nation where everyone knows each other, and long-ago crimes resurface with a vengeance.
Tsuge's bleak post-war childhood, and the down-and-out characters he encountered in their daily struggles for dignity and survival, are the subjects of the noir graphic stories collected in this anthology of his work. Slum Wolf is proof that you don't need a murder to be noir AF. Of particular note to this audience is the recurring character of Sabu, a former kamikaze pilot who survived the war only to live life on borrowed time as a street fighter.
Marrakech is known as Morocco's "joyful city," and as editor of the collection Yassin Adnan details in his marvelous introduction to the anthology, it was at first difficult to gather enough stories to fill this volume in a country with no tradition of noir. Luckily for readers, the joyful city had enough scandals, smugglers, and other sordid tales to inspire writers to pay homage to the complexities of their city through crime writing.
Adler-Olsen has become one of Scandinavia's top crime writers, but his newest American release is grounded firmly in US politics. First released in 2006, and now reissued for its timely subject matter, this political thriller about a folksy demagogue ties in to global issues of gun violence, election disputes, and growing conservatism. Read an exclusive excerpt here.


Painting your home's stucco exterior is a big undertaking that not only affects the look of your home, but your wallet, as well. While many stucco homes require specialized painting techniques to ensure quality coverage, there are areas of the home's exterior that require even more detail. The accent trim around the windows is one area that can really make your home stand out if painted correctly. Use the ideas below to help you get started.
Knowing where to install trim on your stucco exterior is one of the first things to consider. Around the windows is the natural choice, as it provides great accent to the home's look. Trim can also be installed around the garage doors because it offers the same type of definition to the home's exterior. The amount of detail in the trim depends on how ornate you want your home's exterior to be. Small accents in the form of keystones or blocked corners can be visual focal points that add character to the frame of the house. Where you add the trim will help to determine the best way to paint it.
Stucco is typically painted a light, neutral color, but with a coordinating color on the trim, you can make the house stand out and add a great deal of curb appeal. By painting the window and garage door trim a coordinating color, the eye will be instantly drawn to those areas. It is important that those areas be well maintained and tended. The coordinating color can be a lighter shade than the stucco or a couple of shades darker. To determine the hue, decide whether you want the exterior walls of the home to be accented or the trim itself. The coordinating color will make the house pop without being too bold and brash.
If the same hues are not what you are after, choose a contrasting color that adds a pop of bright color. For example, if the stucco is painted a light tan, black can be used as a strong contrasting color. Not only will it add depth to the home's exterior, but it will also help the exterior coordinate with some of the other exterior features like the porch light, shrubbery, and outdoor wall art. Be wary of using extremely bold and bright colors, as they can actually detract from the curb appeal of the home. It is important to use a contrasting color that is authentic as a home exterior color for the style and age of your house.
Accenting the exterior with trim in a coordinating or contrasting color is the easiest way to make your home stand out. Not only does it add visual interest to the house, but it also improves your home's curb appeal. Be sure to keep the trim in good condition and repaint it as needed or it will have the opposite effect from what you intended. Combined with a good stucco paint job, trim around the windows and garage doors can be the perfect way to accent your home.
Any chance anyone knows what stucco color is on the house and/or brand of paint?

Die Historische Kommission zu Berlin e. V. ist eine wissenschaftliche Vereinigung zur Erforschung der Landesgeschichte Berlin-Brandenburgs und Brandenburg-Preußens sowie der Berliner Stadtgeschichte. Sie steht in der Tradition der "Historischen Kommission für die Provinz Brandenburg und die Reichshauptstadt Berlin".

Vorgängerorganisationen
Die älteste Vorgängerorganisation der heutigen Historischen Kommission war der "Märkische Geschichtsverein", gegründet 1837 und unter dem Einfluss von Gustav Schmoller 1899 mit erneuerten Statuten versehen. Im Jahr 1925 riefen der Provinzialverband Brandenburg und der Magistrat der Stadt Berlin auf Anregung des Verbandes der brandenburgischen Geschichtsvereine die "Historische Kommission für die Provinz Brandenburg und die Reichshauptstadt Berlin" ins Leben. Ziel war die Erschließung von Quellen und die Herausgabe geschichtswissenschaftlicher Darstellungen. Vorsitzender der Kommission war Ulrich Stutz, während die eigentliche wissenschaftliche Arbeit von Johannes Schulze vom Geheimen Staatsarchiv übernommen wurde. In den ersten Jahren wurde ein Historischer Atlas der Provinz Brandenburg, die Acta Brandenburgica sowie das Landbuch der Mark Brandenburg herausgegeben.

Im Jahr 1939 verließen die Vertreter der Stadt Berlin die Kommission. Dafür wurden 1943 zwei neue historische Kommissionen gegründet. Die eine war zuständig für die Provinz Brandenburg und die andere für Berlin, letztere firmierte zunächst unter dem Titel "Landesstelle der Reichshauptstadt für Geschichte, Heimatforschung und Volkskunde." Auch diese hatte die Quellenerschließung zur Hauptaufgabe, was jedoch wegen der Kriegsereignisse und der Folgen des Krieges nicht verwirklicht werden konnte.

Gründungsphase
Im Jahr 1959 gründete sich eine Berliner Historische Kommission als Verein neu, angelehnt an das Friedrich-Meinecke-Institut der Freien Universität Berlin. Wie schon zuvor ging es um die Erforschung der Stadt Berlin und ihrer Umgebung. Das Spektrum war breit gefächert und umfasste Geistes-, Sozial-, Wirtschafts- und Parteiengeschichte. Hinzu kam die Untersuchung des Verhältnisses von Deutschen und Slawen in der Region. Das Jahrbuch für die Geschichte Mittel- und Ostdeutschlands wurde Organ der historischen Kommission. Im Jahr 1960 kam unter Leitung von Henryk Skrzypczak eine Sektion zur Geschichte der Arbeiterbewegung hinzu, die vom August-Bebel-Institut mitbetreut wurde. Im selben Jahr erschienen im Verlag Walter de Gruyter die ersten Veröffentlichungen der Historischen Kommission. Zur gleichen Zeit begannen die Vorarbeiten für den Historischen Handatlas von Berlin und Brandenburg, die ersten Lieferungen erschienen 1961. Im selben Jahr stellte der Wirtschaftshistoriker Otto Büsch Kontakt zum Archiv des Siemens-Konzerns her. Seit 1962 erhielt die Kommission Etatmittel der Stadt Berlin und konnte daraufhin ihre Arbeit intensivieren.

Im Jahr 1963 wurde die Berliner Historische Kommission in "Historische Kommission zu Berlin" umbenannt. Damit verbunden war der Ausbau der Arbeitsbereiche der Organisation. Seit 1964 intensivierte sich die Zusammenarbeit mit ausländischen, insbesondere amerikanischen Wissenschaftlern. Dabei wurde auch die Erforschung der Geschichte der Juden in Berlin verstärkt. Im Jahr 1965 wurde neben der "Arbeitsgemeinschaft Historischer Handatlas" und der Abteilung für die "Geschichte der Arbeiterbewegung" ein "Arbeitsausschuß für die Briefausgabe Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" und der "Arbeitskreis für Industrialisierungsgeschichte" gegründet. Im selben Jahr erschien die erste Ausgabe der Internationalen Wissenschaftlichen Korrespondenz zur Geschichte der deutschen Arbeiterbewegung (IWK). Eine neue Schriftenreihe begann 1968 unter dem Obertitel Einzelveröffentlichungen der Historischen Kommission zu Berlin zu erscheinen. Mit finanzieller Unterstützung der Stiftung Volkswagenwerk konnte die Zusammenarbeit mit ausländischen Historikern ausgebaut werden.

Konsolidierung und Ausbau
Seit 1970 trat neben die Bindung an das Friedrich-Meinecke-Institut die Zusammenarbeit mit anderen wissenschaftlichen Einrichtungen in Berlin. Gleichzeitig wurde die Zusammenarbeit mit der Stanford University, etwa mit Gordon A. Craig, verstärkt. In den folgenden Jahren wurden die internationalen Kontakte, besonders nach Osteuropa, weiter ausgebaut.

Im Jahr 1973 wurde als weiterer Arbeitsbereich die "Abteilung für Geschichte der deutsch-polnischen Beziehungen" gegründet. Finanziell unterstützt durch die Volkswagenstiftung erfolgte 1976 der Kauf des "Mittelhofes" als Sitz der Organisation. Seit 1977 wurde die Erforschung der Geschichte Preußens zu einem weiteren Arbeitsschwerpunkt. Im Jahr 1979 übernahm die Kommission die Koordination des Langzeitprojektes zur Erforschung von "Inflation und Wiederaufbau 1914 bis 1924."

Anfang der 1980er Jahre intensivierte der Senat von Berlin die Aufnahme der Kommission in die gemeinsame Bund-Länder-Förderung. Gleichzeitig wurde der Etat aufgestockt. An die Stelle der fünf Forschungsabteilungen traten acht Sektionen und zwei Beiräte zur übergreifenden Koordinierung.

In den folgenden Jahren veranstaltete die Kommission zahlreiche wissenschaftliche Tagungen zu verschiedensten Themen von der frühen Neuzeit bis zur Zeitgeschichte. Auch am Berliner Stadtjubiläum 1987 beteiligte sich die Kommission mit Veranstaltungen und Veröffentlichungen. Darunter waren die Sammelbände Berliner Demokratie und Kleine Berlin-Geschichte. Zudem betreute und betreut die Kommission das vom Berliner Senat veranlasste Programm "Berliner Gedenktafeln", bis 2014 wurden in diesem Programm über 400 Tafeln in allen Bezirken Berlins angebracht.

Neuausrichtung und Krise
Die Kommission baute ihre internationalen Kontakte in den folgenden Jahren weiter aus. Nach dem Ende der DDR stellte sich das Problem der Auseinandersetzung mit ihrer Geschichtswissenschaft unmittelbarer als bis dahin. Seit 1991 begann vor dem Hintergrund der Wiedervereinigung eine grundlegende Neuausrichtung der Kommission. Inhaltlich beschäftigte man sich etwa mit der Neugestaltung der Mitte Berlins.

Eine Evaluierungskommission schlug 1992 in konzeptioneller Hinsicht vor, die Arbeit auf zwei Schwerpunkte zu konzentrieren. Der eine wäre demnach die Stadt- und Landesgeschichte gewesen, der andere die Erforschung Preußens. Schwerpunktmäßig wurde vor allem die Erforschung der Bestände in den Archiven auf dem Gebiet der ehemaligen DDR in Angriff genommen. Ein erstes Ergebnis der Ausdehnung des Forschungsbereichs über die Grenzen Berlins hinaus war im Jahr 1994 die Herausgabe der Brandenburgischen Geschichte.

Auf Grund der geplanten Neuausrichtung wurden vorherige Arbeitsgebiete ausgegliedert und an andere wissenschaftliche Institutionen angeschlossen. Dazu gehörten unter anderem der Bereich der Germania Slavica, die Geschichte der deutsch-jüdischen Beziehungen sowie die Herausgabe der IWK.

Wegen fehlender finanzieller Mittel wurde 1996 allen Mitarbeitern der Kommission gekündigt. Publikationen wie das Jahrbuch für die Geschichte Mittel- und Ostdeutschlands wurden eingestellt. Gleichzeitig beschloss der Verein offiziell, die Aufgaben auf die Erforschung der historischen Landeskunde Berlin-Brandenburgs bzw. Brandenburg-Preußens zu fokussieren.

In den folgenden Jahren wurden eine Reihe von Tagungen veranstaltet und verschiedene Schriften herausgegeben. Ab 1999 setzte eine verstärkte Suche nach Sponsoren und eine Intensivierung der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit ein. Die Organisation begann mit der Herausgabe der Kleinen Schriftenreihe der Historischen Kommission zu Berlin. Das Jahrbuch für die Geschichte Mittel- und Ostdeutschlands wurde mit dem Untertitel Jahrbuch für vergleichende und preußische Landesgeschichte fortgesetzt. Ein weiterer Teil des Handbuchs der preußischen Geschichte erschien 2000.

Neben zahlreichen weiteren Veröffentlichungen begann 2001 die Herausgabe einer mehrbändigen Brandenburgischen Geschichte in Einzeldarstellungen. Im Jahr 2006 wurden die Sektionen für die Arbeitsfelder Berlin, Brandenburg und Preußen neu gegründet.

Texture-Crete has been on the market since 1987. The product's bonding and weathering capabilities have been well tested at hundreds of apartment and commercial buildings, top-end hotels, and residential decks and patios. It was specified by 7-Eleven for store entryways because of its ability to withstand heavy abuse.
Life Deck uses highly concentrated acrylic polymers in Texture-Crete, which gives the coating strength and flexibility as well as excellent weathering characteristics. Designed for driveways, walks, patios, garage floors and pool decks, it is easy to apply, low cost and extremely durable. The anti-skid finish makes it an excellent option for areas that receive a lot of foot traffic.
Designs — including a stamped look — can be created by putting down special "Stone Strips" and then skip-troweling over the surface with texturing material.
Texture-Crete (when incorporated in the Life Deck AL system) can also be used as an overlay on plywood decks and has received a Class A fire rating. For interior surfaces, the easy-to-clean overlay is used with an epoxy or urethane topcoat.
For more information, call (800) 541-3310.

In order for you to ensure that you choose the right provider for data storage, you will need to consider the uptime.You will need to note that cloud servers just like your server an also fail.However, there are providers who have cloud servers that fail even more than your business server.This can result to be a very huge problem for your business and especially when you need data but it is not available. For this reason, it will be very crucial for you to ensure that you ask the cloud storage providers to demonstrate the various contingency plans they have here if the server fails.Statistics will be the best method of determining the reliability of the provider for their uptime.
The speed is another important factor that you will need to keep in mind when choosing a cloud storage provider.Downloading speed happens to be one of the most important element of cloud storage which you will need to have in mind.The speed at which you can now be able to download the data will have a great impact on the way that you do your business.
The next thing that you will need to keep in mind when looking for a cloud data storage is the security.The most efficient backup when you have your data compromised is the cloud storage.However, cloud storage can also have compromise on the data.Whenever the cloud storage has been compromised, the safety net of the data will be removed.This will greatly reduce the safety of your data.

Patriots sign QB Cam Newton to replace Tom Brady, source says

BOSTON (AP) — The New England Patriots have reached an agreement with free-agent quarterback Cam Newton, bringing in the 2015 NFL Most Valuable Player to help the team move on from three-time MVP Tom Brady, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.
The one-year deal is worth up to $7.5 million with incentives, the person said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss it publicly. A Patriots spokesman said the team had nothing to announce Sunday night. The signing was first reported by ESPN.
"I'm as excited as I don't what right now!!" Newton posted on Instagram "All praise to God!! Dropping content tomorrow!! I hope you're ready!! Let'sgoPats."
The Patriots had been heading to training camp with 2019 fourth-round draft choice Jarrett Stidham as the heir apparent to Brady, who led the team to six Super Bowl championships since 2001 but signed with Tampa Bay this offseason. Stidham appeared in three games last season, completing two passes for 14 yards with one interception.
The only other experienced quarterback on the defending AFC East champions' roster was 34-year-old Brian Hoyer, who has started 38 games in an 11-year career with seven NFL teams, including the Patriots twice.
A three-time Pro Bowl selection who was the league's top player in 2015, Newton remains the NFL's all-time leader in touchdowns rushing by a quarterback. He had one year remaining on a five-year, $103.8 million contract, but the Panthers saved $19.1 million under the salary cap by releasing him on March 24.
The 31-year-old Newton was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 draft after leading Auburn to a national championship and winning the Heisman Trophy. He helped the Panthers reach the playoffs four times, including the Super Bowl in 2015.
The Panthers finished 15-1 that season and Newton won league MVP honors after throwing for 3,837 and 35 touchdowns and rushing for 636 yards and 10 TDs. But he was criticized after Carolina's 24-10 loss to the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl for not jumping on a loose ball late in the game and cutting his postgame news conference short.
After missing the postseason in 2016, the Panthers returned after going 11-5 the next year, losing to the New Orleans Saints in the wild-card round. More problematic, a shoulder injury severely hampered his throwing in 2018; after starting 6-2, the Panthers lost their next seven games.
Newton had surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff before the 2019 season. But he injured his foot in a brief appearance in the third preseason game against New England; he played only two games last season before being placed on injured reserve with a Lis Franc fracture.
Newton has been rehabbing ever since, posting several workout videos on Instagram. But because of the coronavirus, he hasn't had a chance to meet with other teams to show he's healthy.
In nine seasons, he has completed 2,371 passes for 29,041 yards and 182 touchdowns with 108 interceptions. He has also run for 4,806 yards and 58 scores.

CHICAGO (AP) — Zach LaVine scored 33 points, and the Chicago Bulls overcame a strong effort by Victor Oladipo in his Houston debut, beating the Rockets 125-120 on Monday night.
LaVine led seven Bulls players in double figures and added seven assists. He scored nine points in the closing minutes of the third to help send Chicago to the final quarter with a 93-86 lead.
Blackhawks doing what they can to keep their spirits up despite 0-3 start
SUNRISE, Fla. - With a young team going up against two squads that have established themselves in the Eastern Conference last season, it figured to be a rough go for the Blackhawks in their first two series.
Indeed that has been the case, and the scores certainly show a how difficult things could be for the group during the 2021 season.
Report: Jon Lester agrees to one-year deal with Washington Nationals
by Andy Koval / Jan 18, 2021
Legendary left-handed pitcher Jon Lester will not reunite with the Cubs after club declined his 2021 team option following the season.
Lester,37, has agreed on a one-year deal with the Washington Nationals, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.


The Paleolithic hunters who painted the unsurpassed animal murals on the ceiling of the cave at Altamira had only rudimentary tools. Art is older than production for use, and play older than work. Man was shaped less by what he had to do than by what he did in playful moments. It is the child in man that is the source of his uniqueness and creativeness, and the playground is the optimal milieu for the unfolding of his capacities.

Did Man at Capitol Riot Die After Accidentally Tasing Himself?
Five persons died in conjunction with the Capitol riot, but some reports surrounding their deaths weren't entirely accurate.

An Alabama man who was in attendance during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol suffered a fatal heart attack after accidentally tasing himself in the testicles.
At least five individuals are known to have died in conjunction with the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol in the District of Columbia, and rumors surrounding the circumstances of their deaths were quick to circulate across social media platforms.
Kevin Greeson, a 55-year-old father of five from Alabama, was at the heart of many of these rumors when some Twitter users, some of whom had verified accounts, claimed that he had suffered a fatal heart attack after "accidentally and repeatedly" discharging a taser in his pants while attempting to steal a portrait off the walls inside the Capitol:
apparently a guy accidentally tasered himself in the balls and then died of a heart attack while trying to steal a painting yesterday and if we can't all come together over how hilarious that is we may be beyond hope
— karl hess (@karlhess) January 7, 2021
Snopes spoke with Kristi Greeson, the wife of the late Kevin Greeson, who told us that there was no truth to the allegation that her husband's heart attack was the result of his accidentally tasing himself. Greeson said that her husband attended the Capitol riot but never entered the building. Kevin had told his wife that he was in a safe area, but then he described seeing people pushing a barrier at a nearby location.
"He just stopped talking, and I could hear all the people. That's when he had the heart attack," Greeson told Snopes over the phone. "He died instantly."
Greeson said that her husband was a supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump and that he was excited about going to "once-in-a-lifetime events," but she denied allegations that her husband had stolen a painting or that he had even made it inside of the Capitol, for that matter. And he certainly didn't "taser his balls."
According to Greeson, her husband did not have a gun or a taser on him during the riot — to her knowledge he was only carrying a flagpole. Any claims that he "tasered his balls while stealing a painting" could not be "farther from the truth," she said.

An article published by the New York Times and written by Adam Goldman depicted the events leading up to Kevin Greeson's death, corroborating Greeson's wife's account. A reporter for the publication was near Kevin when he "fell to the sidewalk" while on the phone.
"A New York Times reporter watched as emergency personnel rushed to help, furiously performing chest compressions, but were unable to revive him," wrote the publication.
Three other attendees died following the breach of the Capitol, including a 35-year-old woman named Ashli Babbit who was fatally shot by Capitol Police. Benjamin Phillips, 50, from Greentown, Pennsylvania, and Roseanne Boyland, 34 of Kennesaw, Georgia, also died. U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick succumbed to injuries suffered while he was on duty during the riot.

Q: Creating a stack for use in a Binary Search Tree I am trying to implement a binary search tree using iterative methods only. As such, I need to have a stack for things like traversal, etc. I am not allowed to use the predefined stack structure in C++ so I am trying to implement my own using linked lists. I am having troubles doing so partly because of restrictions such as being unable to modify the BST class itself, I am only able to add helper classes. Basically, I am trying to store a BST Node inside of a LL node. Is this possible and/or is there a better way? Here is my current attempt which does not compile but I'm not sure how to fix:
class BST {
private:
struct Node {
    string value;
    Node * left;
    Node * right;
};

Node * head;

public:
class LinkedList {
private:
    struct LLNode {
        Node * val;
        LLNode * next;
    };
    LLNode * head;
    LLNode * tail;
public:
    LinkedList();
    ~LinkedList();
    void add(Node * s) {
        LLNode * p = new LLNode;
        p->val = s;
        p->next = NULL;
        if (head == NULL && tail == NULL) {
          head = p;
          tail = p;
        }
        else if (head == tail) {
            head->next = p;
            tail = p;
        }
        else {
            tail->next = p;
            tail = p;
        }
    }
};
BST();
~BST();
void test() {
  BST * test = new BST;
  LinkedList * newstack = new LinkedList;
  newstack->add(test);
  return;
};

United Way Campaign Co-Chairs Cad and Nita Wilkinson at the United Way Campaign Kickoff on Sept. 1.
BELLEFONTAINE – The 62nd annual United Way fundraising campaign in Logan County kicked off Sept. 1, with more than 90 community leaders gathering for a luncheon and training at Green Hills Foundation Hall in West Liberty. The attendees, representing 48 area workplaces, are a part of communitywide effort that is working to raise $720,000 by Thanksgiving.
Money raised by United Way stays in Logan County and will be allocated to more than 20 Funded Agencies in the areas of education, income and health. United Way has raised more than $19 million in and for Logan County since it was founded in 1954. Studies show that one in three Logan County residents is impacted by a United Way-funded program.
United Way achieved its local campaign goal last year for the first time in six years ($700,000) and is hoping to build upon that positive momentum. Campaign Co-Chairs Chad and Nita Wilkinson thanked attendees for their pledges of support. Deb Storm of the Lighthouse Community Shelter explained how her agency's United Way allocation is allowing the homeless facility to expand its services to reach additional segments of the homeless population. United Way Board Member Jenny Girouard and Executive Director Dave Bezusko reviewed best practices for conducting a giving campaign in the workplace.
Representatives from several United Way agencies were present to field questions and interact with guests. United Way released a new video starring 177 local residents and launched a redesigned website (www.uwlogan.org) today to further inspire and educate donors about how their dollars are spent.
United Way's 2015 Funded Agencies include: American Red Cross, Boy Scouts Tecumseh Council, Catholic Charities of Southwest Ohio (including Second Harvest Food Bank and the Helping Hand program), Consolidated Care (including New Directions domestic violence counseling services), Discovery Riders, Don M. & Margaret Hilliker YMCA (including the Active Older Adult Program and the Safe Haven Youth Program), Girl Scouts of Western Ohio, Green Hills DayBreak Center, Habitat for Humanity, Lighthouse Community Shelter, Logan Belle HAND, Logan County Cancer Society, Logan County Children & Family First Council, Lutheran Community Services (including Loving Hands Adult Day Program and Our Daily Bread), Mary Rutan Medication Assistance Program, United Service Organization, Universal Home Health & Hospice, and Warm Clothes for Kids.
Officials emphasized that just as important as where dollars go is where they do not go. Ninety cents of every dollar given goes to programming, with just 10 cents for fundraising and administrative costs, well beating the Better Business Bureau standard of a 65/35 split. In response to recent inquiries, officials also stressed that no local United Way dollars are, or have ever been, passed through to Planned Parenthood. A line-by-line listing of United Way's 2015 allocations and awarded grants is available at www.uwlogan.org.
Giving via payroll deduction at work has been a Logan County tradition since 1954. Businesses that have already committed to offering payroll deduction to employees for United Way include: AcuSport Corporation, AGC Glass Company, Bellefontaine City Schools, Belletech Corporation, Benjamin Logan Local Schools, Choice Properties Real Estate, Citizens Federal Savings & Loan, City of Bellefontaine, Civista Bank, Community Health Partners, Community Markets, Consolidated Care, Don M. & Margaret Hilliker YMCA, Duff Companies, Green Hills Community, Heartland of Bellefontaine, HBD Thermoid, Hill & Hamilton, Honda of America, Mfg, Honda Transmission, Indian Lake Local Schools, Kroger, Liberty National Bank, Logan County, Logan County Electric Cooperative, Lutheran Community Services, Mary Rutan Hospital, Midwest Regional Educational Service Center, NetGain Information Systems, NEX Transport, Ohio Hi-Point Career Center, PowerBuilt, PNC, Precision Custom Products, Rath Information Systems, Riverside Local Schools, SpartanNash, Company, Steve Austin's Auto Group, Stolly Insurance Group, Thomas & Marker Construction, Thompson Dunlap & Heydinger, Transportation Research Center, Universal Health & Hospice, Vectren Energy, Walmart, World Class Plastics, WPKO/WBLL, and Zimmerman Realty. Those interested in establishing a United Way campaign in a workplace not listed are encouraged to call (937) 592-2886.
Additional giving opportunities abound. Donors may give online at www.uwlogan.org. Fliers were mailed to 2,300 households last week. Donors can write a check and mail it to: United Way, 130 S. Main St., Suite 109, Bellefontaine, OH 43311.
