The One Strike-Three Anti campaign () was a national campaign in the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1970.  The 'Strike' referred to a crackdown on the activities of 'counter-revolutionary' elements in China, while the 'Three Antis' were 'graft and embezzlement', 'profiteering' and 'extravagance and waste'.

Background
The One Strike-Three Anti campaign was launched by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership of the PRC in 1970 in an effort to improve China's economic situation and curb the corruption and anarchy in industry. At the end of 1969, production of every major item (with the exception of crude oil) failed to reach its respective target level, and across China production was hindered by continued factionalism and the actions of more radical groupings. The campaign was an attempt to tackle this worsening situation.

Course of the movement
In February 1970, the leadership in Beijing announced the start of the One Strike-Three Anti campaign with immediate effect. The order to local authorities in China to 'strike' against 'active counterrevolutionary elements' was issued by Zhou Enlai with Mao Zedong's blessing on 31 January, and the 'Three Antis' ('graft and embezzlement', 'profiteering' and 'extravagance and waste') were unveiled a week later on 5 February.  In order for these issues to be effectively tacked, the Beijing leadership called for a national 'tide' of denunciations and the involvement of the 'masses' in the campaign.

However, these fairly vague parameters for what constituted 'active counterrevolutionary elements' led to a situation where interpretations and actions against these elements varied considerably in their definition and in their ferocity, tending to err on the harsh rather than the lenient side.   For example, in Yinchuan, three university graduates were arrested and executed for supposed 'counterrevolutionary' activity whilst only pretending to study communist theory (such activity included the desecration of a copy of the 'Little Red Book'), and in Hunan province the outspoken wife of Chen Yun was subjected to struggle sessions and solitary confinement for the putting up of two controversial big-character posters.  It was also more generally the case that those condemned in the movement were attacked for financial reasons rather than their political views or actions- for example, in Zhabei in Shanghai, only 6% of all cases in the movement were for political reasons.

The crackdowns on unsavory elements in the cities were periodic and therefore known as 'red typhoons'.  In Shanghai, under the guidance of Wang Hongwen, these 'red typhoons' occurred on average every two months, and involved the mass mobilization of thousands of police and militia to undertake raids across the city, in the hope of uncovering evidence of 'counterrevolutionary activity'. The ambiguous nature of the wording of the original orders from Zhou Enlai and Mao also meant that in Shanghai (and elsewhere) any small crime could be quickly made into a crime against the 'people'.

Denouement
The One Strike-Three Anti campaign did not have a definite end, as it came to its conclusion at various times across China.  In the capital, the proceedings were largely over by the end of 1970, with the report on the campaign reporting the discovery of 5,757 'counterrevolutionaries', the resolving of 3,138 criminal cases related to major crimes and 'counterrevolutionary' activity and the highlighting of over 6,000 cases of the 'Three Antis'. Elsewhere, however, the campaign continued until as late as 1972 or 1973, with it ending in Shanghai in late 1972.  According to the official report, 64,000 people from Shanghai and the surrounding area were 'struggled' against. Officially, the CCP reported that over 280,000 arrests of 'counterrevolutionaries' occurred in the first 10 months of the campaign, up to November 1970.

Compared to other areas of human expertise 'success advice' seems to be a relatively unhelpful body of knowledge which is surprising because being successful is something that we are all so interested in. In fact, my pet theory re: giving advice is that it is a just a socially acceptable way to show off and it is not really about genuinely helping others replicate their success but even that cynical perspective doesn't explain why the advice that is offered (no matter what the true motives) doesn't make replicating success much easier. There seem to be two explanations: the first is that people don't really follow the advice or second they follow the advice but it's not very useful. I'm not sure which is true, probably a combination of both. One thing I have been struck by is the number of successful people who advocate taking risks and following ones passions even though it is against what almost everyone I know does. The obvious explanation is that these successful people are suffering from sample selection bias where it worked out for them and so they have their perspectives skewed by this but I find this hard to believe given the large number of extremely smart people who have given this advice. I think part of the problem is that there are three fundamentally different ways to be successful in life and the belief systems and approaches that each require are extremely different, maybe even opposed.
I shall try and discuss each of the three types and suggest the type of thinking required to succeed at each.
Success is inherently zero-sum and defined as beating someone else.
Extreme power law in returns – Michael Jordan the greatest basketball player ever is worth $1bn, Lebron James the greatest player today is worth $300m, but the 500th best player in the world doesn't even play in the NBA.
Success is largely a function of execution not creativity. Messi is a very creative player but he's not doing anything fundamentally new on a football pitch.
Success = talent + hard work.
How to deal with failure/losing – being resilient etc.
Being very competitive – motivation is external i.e. beating someone else.
Importance of work ethic (over talent).
Need to develop self-confidence, self-belief.
Selflessness of putting the team ahead of the individual.
Success is still zero-sum but rather than beating someone it's about doing something completely new.
Similar extreme power law in returns – but harder to tell if on path to success. Einstein was a patents clerk, Airbnb's Brian Chesky was heavily in debt and unemployed.
Success is largely a function of doing something radically new.
Courageous about risk-taking – dealing with lack of external signs of progress/success.
Need a passion/mission to motivate hard work.
You only need to be right once. The failures/experiments dont' matter.
Okay to be weird/do weird things – it increases the probability do something new.
Much less extreme power law of returns but still very competitive. Larger number of successful people – e.g. 100,000 best lawyer in the world and you are still a very well-paid partner.
Success is about avoiding major negatives e.g. personality problems, bad qualifications, lack of work experience.
People should be well-rounded – smart, sociable, team work etc.
Work hard so you can play hard outside work.
Play the game – office politics, how to win friends and influence people etc.
Don't take any major risks/deviations from the standard path or risk losing the corporate route (you don't want any gaps on your CV).
The, albeit uncomfortable, conclusion of all this is I think that it is extremely difficult to pursue more than one type of success at a time. In fact, I might even go as far to argue that each person is only has a realistic chance (at most) of one type of success. If you really, want to become that Olympic gold medal winning gymnast you are not going to be able to study sufficiently to do well in school and maintain the insurance option of being a corporate success. Similarly, the very competitive people that do well in sports tend to not do well as founders because extremely competitive people tend to copy others and fail to do anything truly creative (just think about all the dismissive things that YC's Paul Graham and Paypal's Peter Thiel have said about extroverted, but low conviction MBAs). Similarly, the exact qualities that helped investor Michael Burry who has Asperger's, a glass eye and refuses to communicate with anyone except via email see what others could not and successful short the sub-prime mortgage market would at the same time made it very difficult for him to succeed in a large bureaucratic organisation. I think this explains why there is such a large disconnect between the advice that someone like investor Vinod Khosla gives and most peoples' Mum. It's not that the advice is bad but that it's just not relevant to the type of success that most people are trying to pursue.The scary implication of all this, of course, is that the path I have chosen/have had chosen for me is the 'creative success' route where the extreme power law in returns means a very high chance of failure.

Doe v. University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
United States District Court, W.D. Arkansas, Fayetteville Division
JOHN DOE PLAINTIFF
UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS-FAYETTEVILLE, et al. DEFENDANTS
OPINION AND ORDER
P.K. HOLMES, III U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE.
Before the Court is Defendants' motion (Doc. 17) to dismiss and brief (Doc. 18) in support. Plaintiff John Doe filed a response (Doc. 22). For the following reasons, Defendants' motion will be GRANTED.
John Doe and Jane Roe were students at the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville ("UA"). (Doc. 1, p. 7). The students exchanged messages over social media and hung out socially several times during the Fall 2017 semester. Id. On October 28, 2017, Roe attended a Halloween-themed party. Id. During the party, Roe began a text message conversation with Doe. (Id., p. 8). After exchanging several messages, the students decided to meet up at Doe's apartment. Id. Roe and Doe engaged in sexual intercourse and then Doe took Roe home. (Id., pp. 8-10). Following this encounter, Roe filed a complaint with UA alleging that Doe sexually assaulted her in violation of the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville Policy 418.1, because Roe was too incapacitated to engage in a consensual sexual encounter. (Id., pp. 15-16). Tyler Farrar, UA's Title IX Coordinator, reviewed the complaint and determined that Doe was not responsible for a violation of UA's sexual assault policy. (Id., p. 21). Roe filed an appeal of Farrar's decision. Id. A three-member hearing panel conducted a de novo review on April 23, 2018. (Id., p. 22). The hearing panel found Doe responsible for sexual assault in violation of the UA policy. (Id., p. 25). UA required Doe to complete Title IX training, ten hours of community service, and an online sexual violence accountability course. (Id., p. 27). Doe filed the instant suit against UA, its Title IX coordinator and investigator, and the hearing panel members under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging UA's sexual assault resolution process failed to afford him due process as required by the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Doe also claims that he was subject to gender discrimination in violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
UA is a public university located in Fayetteville, Arkansas. UA's sexual assault policy and grievance procedure is regulated by Title IX regulations promulgated by the United States Department of Education.[1] In 2011, the United States Department of Education Office of Civil Rights issued a "Dear Colleague Letter"[2] providing guidance to universities on how to fulfill the requirement of adopting "prompt and equitable" sexual assault resolution procedures under Title IX. U.S. Dep't of Ed., Office for Civil Rights, Dear Colleague Letter (Apr. 4, 2011). The guidance encouraged schools to establish a Title IX Coordinator position, adopt a preponderance of the evidence standard for adjudications, allow appeals for both parties, and to exclude cross-examination of the alleged victim by the accused, among other suggested procedures. UA structured its procedures to comply with this guidance. (Doc. 1, pp. 11-12).
A. UA's Sexual Assault Resolution Procedure
UA has a formal adjudicative process. University of Arkansas-Fayetteville Policies and Procedures 418.1 (XIII) (2019). Upon receiving a report of a potential Title IX student code violation, UA's Title IX Coordinator conducts an intake meeting with the complainant. (Id., 418.1(A)(1)). This meeting is used to gather information from the complainant and for the Title IX Coordinator to determine whether accommodations or mental/physical health referrals are appropriate. Id. If the complainant expresses a desire to file a complaint in the initial intake meeting, the Title IX Coordinator conducts an intake meeting with the respondent. Id. UA policy allows for the complainant and the respondent to be accompanied by an advisor/support person to assist during the process. Id. However, the advisor/support person is not allowed to speak for the parties during the proceedings. Id.
After the Title IX Coordinator completes the intake process and the complainant opts to file a formal complaint, the Title IX Coordinator assesses whether a potential Title IX violation has occurred. (Id., 418.1(A)(2)). If the Title IX Coordinator "determines that a potential Title IX violation occurred, " he refers the matter to the Office of Student Standards and Conduct's Title IX Investigator to complete a "comprehensive investigation." (Id., 418.1(A)(3)). At the conclusion of her investigation, the Title IX Investigator compiles a summary of the investigation and provides it to the Title IX Coordinator. Id. Once the summary of the investigation is complete, the Title IX Coordinator provides a copy of the summary to both parties. (Id., 418.1(A)(4)). The parties are then allowed to submit additional relevant information to the Title IX Coordinator and may request a pre-decision meeting. Id. Once the parties have filed any additional submissions, the Title IX Coordinator compiles all material submitted into an investigative report. Id. If the Title IX Coordinator determines based on a preponderance of the evidence that the "conduct at issue constitutes a violation of Title IX, " the Coordinator determines the appropriate remedy or sanction as part of his written finding. Id. However, if the Title IX Coordinator finds that the conduct at issue does not constitute a violation of Title IX, the Title IX Coordinator determines and documents the appropriate resolution of the case and notifies the parties of that determination. Id.
Once the Title IX Coordinator has issued his determination to the parties, either party may file an appeal of any or all of the Title IX Coordinator's decision. (Id., 418.1(A)(5)). The appeal is to be heard by a three-member hearing panel. Id. When a party appeals, the Title IX Coordinator and both parties are notified in writing of the appeal and the issues the appellant is challenging. Id. The appellee may file a response to the appeal within three days after receipt of appeal notice. Id.
Within three days of the appellant filing an appeal, the Assistant Director of the Office of Equal Opportunity and Compliance ("AD-OEOC") selects the members of the Title IX hearing panel. Id. The hearing panel consists of a mixed-gender panel of individuals who are members of UA's Title IX hearing board, Title IX Coordinators or Deputy Coordinators from other University of Arkansas System Campuses, or other specifically designated and trained members of the Northwest Arkansas legal community. Id. UA only allows individuals who have participated in in-person Title IX hearing panel training to serve on a hearing panel. Id. The parties may object to the individuals selected for their appeal hearing panel. Id.
The parties are permitted to submit witness lists for the hearing. Id. The AD-OEOC then provides notice to the parties and the witnesses listed requesting that the individuals appear before the hearing panel. Id. Both parties may present evidence, but formal rules of evidence do not apply during the proceeding. Id. The parties are not allowed to personally question or cross-examine one another. Id. However, the parties may question witnesses. Id. After the close of the hearing, the hearing panel confers and votes to determine whether the evidence establishes that it is more likely than not that the Respondent committed a violation of the sexual assault policy. Id. If the hearing panel determines that a violation occurred, it assigns sanctions. Id. Appropriate sanctions are based on "the nature and gravity of the misconduct, and any record of prior student discipline . . . ." Id. The decision of the hearing panel is final. Id.
B. Doe's Disciplinary Proceedings
On October 28, 2017, Jane Roe attended a Halloween-themed party. (Doc. 1, p. 7). During the party Roe texted Doe, whom she had met during her time at UA. Id. At 11:31 p.m., Roe sent Doe a picture of herself in her Halloween costume holding a beer. (Id., p. 8). Through a series of text messages, the two students decided to "hang out." Id. At 11:58 p.m., Doe informed Roe that he was taking an Uber back to his apartment and told Roe that he would be home by 12:15 a.m. Id. Roe then informed Doe that she would call an Uber to his apartment after one more song. Id. Roe asked for Doe's address so that she could enter it into her Uber request. Id. At 12:16 a.m., Roe texted Doe to inform him that she was on her way. Id. At 12:22 a.m., Roe arrived at Doe's apartment. Id. Doe alleges that Roe confirmed during the investigation that she was not drunk while she was texting him and did not drink anymore while at Doe's residence. Id. When she arrived, Roe suggested that the two go into Doe's room to talk. Id. Doe asserts that Roe turned off the lights and began kissing him. Id. Doe and Roe then engaged in sexual intercourse. (Id., p. 9). Doe claims that Roe confirmed several times that she wanted to have sex with him. Id. After the encounter, Doe drove Roe home. (Id., p. 10). On the drive home, Roe gave Doe directions to her apartment. Id. A few hours later, Roe's roommate's boyfriend found Roe in her room bleeding from self-inflicted wounds. (Id., p. 11). The boyfriend called 911. Id. Doe alleges that Roe told the 911 operator that she was not intoxicated, and that she had cut herself in reaction to a recent breakup. Id. Roe was taken to the hospital. Id. When Roe arrived at the hospital, she declined a rape kit. Id.
On November 6, 2017, Doe received a notice of allegation from Tyler Farrar, UA's Title IX Coordinator, alleging that:
[O]n or about Sunday, October 29, 2017, . . . [Doe] engaged in behavior that may be in violation of the University's Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Policy and the prohibition against sexual assault. Specifically [Jane Roe] has alleged that she believes sexual contact occurred while she was incapacitated and unable to give consent. [Jane Roe] has stated that she went to your residence in the early morning of October 29, 2017, and has little recollection of what occurred. However, [Jane Roe] has articulated that she believes you had sexual contact with her when she was too intoxicated to give verbal or implied consent.
(Id., p. 16). On November 30, 2017, Roe was interviewed by Kristen Barnett, UA's Title IX Investigator. Id. In that interview, Roe explained that she had been drinking earlier that evening and then met up with Doe at his residence. Id. She shared that she did not recall much of the evening at Doe's house but believed that the two had sexual relations because she was not wearing underwear when she arrived at the hospital that evening, and her underwear was found at Doe's apartment. Id. After the interview, Barnett allowed Roe to review the summary of the interview and suggest revisions. (Id., p. 17). Roe suggested edits including a memory of having sexual intercourse with Doe. Id. After Barnett's initial interview with Roe, Barnett met with Roe again on January 11, 2018, to address two questions submitted to Barnett by Doe. Id. Roe responded that she could not answer the questions because "she had a limited recollection of the evening." Id.
Farrar, UA's Title IX Coordinator, provided the Final Investigative Report, including Barnett's investigation summary and additional materials submitted by both parties, to Doe and Roe on February 19, 2018. Id. Doe and his advisor requested a pre-determination meeting with Farrar. (Id., p. 18). Farrar offered to allow Doe to make a statement regarding the allegations, but Doe declined. Id. In the meeting, Doe asserted that Roe changed her story multiple times over the course of the investigation. Id. After the initial investigation was complete, Farrar received the Fayetteville Police Department's investigation report. Id. The report noted that Roe's Uber driver did not recall anything unusual about the ride or that Roe seemed intoxicated. (Id.., p. 19). The report also included a statement by Fayetteville Police Department Officer Stacy Dicus noting that Roe attempted to limit who Officer Dicus spoke with and that she was unable to communicate with Roe since their conversation on November 9, 2017. Id.
Once Farrar received the Fayetteville Police Department report, he allowed both parties to review the report and make additional statements regarding the information contained within. Id. Farrar then issued his Letter of Decision, finding that "although there was evidence to indicate Roe may have been intoxicated, the evidence was insufficient to establish that it was more likely than not that Jane Roe was intoxicated to the point of incapacitation." (Id., p. 20).
Roe filed an appeal of Farrar's Letter of Decision. (Id., p. 21). In her appeal, Roe challenged Farrar's finding that she was not incapacitated. Id. Roe's appeal explained:
[I]t is to my understanding that the University defines sexual assault allegations within two categories: by force and through incapacitation. I do not believe that these terms are mutually exclusive. I have stated this previously. If an individual is incapacitated while someone performs sexual acts to them, those acts are subsequently 'by force' without question.
Id. Doe received the appeal documents and sought clarification of the charges against him. (Id., p. 22). Farrar told Doe that he would not know the full extent of the charges against him until the hearing. Id. Farrar reminded Doe that new and additional evidence may be submitted to the hearing panel. Id.
Doe requested that Kristin Barnett, UA's Title IX Investigator, appear as one of his witnesses for the hearing. Id. However, Barnett chose not to attend the hearing. Id. The Title IX hearing panel conducted a de novo hearing on April 23, 2018. Id. The Panel was comprised of Jon Comstock, Eric Specking, and Dina Wood. (Id., p. 23). UA considered each panel member to be knowledgeable and trained on proper adjudication of Title IX issues. Id. At the beginning of the hearing Doe requested a continuance because Barnett was not present, and Roe was attempting to introduce new evidence he had not seen. Id. The panel denied this request. Id. After hearing evidence from the parties, the panel determined that Roe became incapacitated at some time while she was at Doe's residence. Id. As a result, the panel voted two to one that the evidence established that it was more likely than not that Doe was responsible for sexual assault in violation of UA Policy 418.1. (Id., p. 24). The panel noted that there was no evidence of consent and that it disregarded much of Doe's testimony because it determined that Doe's testimony "lacked credibility." (Id., p. 25). The panel imposed "limited sanctions" including "Title IX training, ten hours of community service and an online sexual violence accountability course, " because of the "extremely close factual determinations" made in Doe's case. (Id., p. 27). Doe was placed on "conduct probation" pending his completion of the imposed sanctions. Id.
Doe also alleges that UA was being investigated by the Department of Education Office of Civil Rights for failure to properly investigate prior claims of on-campus sexual behavior at the time of Doe's sexual assault adjudication. Id. Doe further asserts that various media outlets and student organizations were pressuring UA to change its adjudication process because UA was not adequately resolving sexual assault claims of female students against male students. Id. Doe claims that a highly publicized lawsuit against UA for its failure to properly adjudicate a Title IX complaint by a female against a male may have influenced the panel's decision. Id. Doe also alleges that after UA's initial finding of no violation in Doe's case, Roe began a media campaign criticizing the University's decision. Id. The campaign caused UA to issue a public statement. Id. Doe alleges that Roe's media campaign and the public blowback from that campaign caused UA to sway the hearing panel decision in Roe's favor.
II. Standard of Review
To survive a motion to dismiss, a plaintiff must provide "enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007). The Court accepts Plaintiff's factual allegations as true. Gallagher v. City of Clayton, 699 F.3d 1013, 1016 (8th Cir. 2012). A claim is plausible on its face if the "plaintiff pleads factual content that allows the court to draw a reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged." Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009). "Factual allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level . . . ." Bell Atl. Corp., 550 U.S. at 555 (2007). Where the well-pleaded facts "do not permit the court to infer more than the mere possibility of misconduct, the complaint has alleged-but it has not shown-that the pleader is entitled to relief." Ashcroft, 556 U.S. at 679 (2009)(internal quotations omitted).

This approach allows you to turn any function into a memoizing function. Note that return values are memoized for each set of arguments. However, due to technical constraints it's only reliable when the arguments are arrays or scalar values, but you could easily use e.g. a toJSON method rather than join to serialize objects as part of the cache key (at some additional overhead cost).
…Or leave out the expiration argument to permanently memoize.
It depends on base.js (using Dict, which uses eq and hash) and thus provides a stronger guarantee of idempotence, even with complex objects for parameters.
@Steve – I like your implementation although I'm struggling though to see how this could improve getElementsByClassName() functions except in limited circumstances. Care to provide an example?
@Kris – I'd never heard of Chiron until recently. It looks very impressive. What do you plan to do with it? Is it being used anywhere?
Dean, I agree that it could only improve getElementsByClassName functions in limited circumstances. The case I was specifically thinking of when I wrote that was code that invokes getElementsByClassName and runs onmouseover for a DOM node, thereby potentially being triggered thousands of times over a short amount of time. Memoization (timed or otherwise) would probably never be a good idea as a general purpose alteration for such functions, but depending on the nature of one's application they might decide the benefits outweigh the risks. That said, the real reason I used that example was that I couldn't think of a better one. 😉 I didn't originally write this implementation for the ability to garbage collect cached values after a while, but that seemed like a potentially interesting extension that was easy to add.
@Steve – Fair enough. I thought you had some clever implementation of getElementsByClassName() in mind.
Dean, you're of course very welcome to do so.
In recent news, I'm using memoize, and my Dict-like Cookie type in tandem to do cookie-based caching on a function.

North Avenue Capital Closes $5MM USDA Loan to 777 Holdings, LLC
North Avenue Capital
North Avenue Capital's $5 Million Loan Facilitates Strategic Acquisition in Rural Oklahoma
Ponte Vedra, Florida – July 1, 2019 – North Avenue Capital (NAC), specialized commercial lender, announced today the closing of a $5 Million USDA Rural Development loan to Velma, Oklahoma oil and gas services firm, 777 Holdings, LLC (777). The loan facilitated the acquisition of Bullet Energy Services, LLC (Bullet), an established energy service company focusing on salt water disposal, rig work, and transportation operations. With over 65 years of combined experience in a broad range of industries including real estate development, oilfield services, logistics, and commercial trucking, co-owners, Ron Fraze, James Lemons, and Michael Lemons, are executing their plan to consolidate multiple salt water disposal sites, where they expect to capitalize on economies of scale and improved operational efficiency.
Like many rural companies, particularly those supporting a historically cyclical industry like oil and gas exploration, 777 had met resistance from traditional lending sources in its effort to finance the purchase of Bullet. Affordable capital was the only missing ingredient from an otherwise meaningful opportunity to bring two businesses together and preserve jobs for the 37 hard-working Americans they employ.
Commercial Lender, Mike Wilson, led NAC's effort and recognized the potential for 777 to reduce costs, improve processes, increase capacity, attract new customers, and expand revenue sources. Fraze recounted that Mike and NAC took the time to understand their experience, the business plan, and what he and the Lemons brothers knew they could accomplish with this acquisition. "The window of opportunity to make the purchase would have closed had it not been for NAC's willingness to dig into the details of our plan," said Fraze.
Wilson expressed NAC's belief that this project represented a tailor-made opportunity for USDA Rural Development to support a business that is generating economic development and keeping jobs in this rural community. "This Business & Industry loan will not only protect the jobs already established in Velma but will expand opportunities up and down the supply chain elsewhere in Oklahoma, down into Texas, and beyond."
By consolidating their operations, 777 and Bullet expect to double their injection volume over the next 3 years. NAC Chief Executive, Ben Chatraw, reflected that "this project is another great example of the real-life impact rural businesses can have on customers, employees, and the local communities they operate in when the USDA and private lenders partner to make senior debt available and affordable."

The Catholic Church has five new saints
Denver Catholic Staff
With 50,000 people in attendance from all continents, Pope Francis declared John Henry Newman, Mother Giuseppina Vannini, Mother Mariam Thresia Mankidiyan, Sister Dulce Lopes Pontes, and Marguerite Bays Catholic saints at the beginning of a festive mass in St. Peter's Square, Sunday Oct. 13.
Mother Mariam Thresia (1876-1926)
Mother Mariam Thresia (1876-1926) was an Indian mystic and founder of the Congregation of the Holy Family. Her prayer life was characterized by frequent ecstasies in which she would sometimes levitate above the ground. In 1909, Thresia received the stigmata, after which she also suffered from demonic attacks.
Mother Thresia cared for the poor, sick, and dying in Kerala, visiting those with leprosy and measles. She also preached to the poor and the rich alike the importance of happy, healthy families to uplift all of society. In 1914 Thresia founded the Congregation of the Holy Family, which has grown to have 176 houses around the world with 1,500 professed sisters.
"Our main charisma is family apostolate. We have schools, hospitals and counseling centers etc. But our main focus is the family apostolate. Making the families like a Holy Family of Nazareth," Sister Dr. Vinaya of the Congregation of the Holy Family said.
Pope Francis recognized the second miracle attributed Mother Thresia in February. A grandmother of a dying child had a relic of Mariam Thresia and asked the nurse — a sister belonging to the Congregation of the Holy Family — to place the relic on the child's heart and pray. From that moment forward, the young boy began to breathe normally and was cured.
Marguerite Bays (1815-1879)
This 19th century Swiss laywoman and stigmatist dedicated her life to prayer and service to her parish community without marrying or entering a religious community. As a Third Order Franciscan, she lived a simple life as a dressmaker and carried out a lay apostolate as a catechist.
When Bays was diagnosed with advanced cancer in 1853, she prayed to the Virgin Mary to be able to suffer with Jesus rather than to be healed. However, on the day that Bl. Pius IX proclaimed the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception, Sept. 8, 1854, she was miraculously healed. Pius made the proclamation on Marguerite's 39th birthday.
"From that moment on, after Marguerite was healed of her illness in a completely inexplicable way, she proclaimed the Passion of the Lord, because every Friday she had these moments of suffering in which there was blood and the stigmata, the very pain of the Passion," Father Carlo Calloni, the postulator for Bays' canonization cause, told EWTN's Vaticano.
Blessed Marguerite died on the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in 1879 at the age of 63. After her death the Vatican approved a miracle attributed to her intercession in which a two-year-old child was completely healed after being run over by an 1,800-pound tractor wheel. She was beatified by St. John Paul II in 1995.
Mother Giuseppina Vannini (1859-1911)
Giuseppina Vannini is a 19th century religious sister from Rome known for founding the congregation of the Daughters of St. Camillus dedicated to serving the sick and suffering. She is the first Roman woman to be canonized in more than 400 years, according to ACI Stampa.
Vannini spent much of her childhood in an orphanage near St. Peter's Square after losing her father when she was four, and her mother when she was seven. She grew up among the Daughters of Charity sisters, who ran the orphanage. On the day of her first communion, young Giuseppina felt that she was called to a religious vocation.
This desire was not realized until 1892 when she was 33 because she was rejected by the Daughters of Charity after her novitiate due to her poor health.
Despite her own health problems, Vannini went on to find the Daughters of St. Camillus, whose charism is to serve the sick, even at the risk of their own lives. However, she did not live to see the congregation fully recognized by the Vatican. She died at the age of 51 in 1911.
Today the Daughters of St. Camillus have grown to 800 sisters in 22 countries. The Giuseppina Vannini Hospital in Rome is named in her honor.
Sister Dulce Lopes (1914-1992)
This Brazilian sister was nominated twice for the Nobel Peace Prize. Born as Maria Rita Lopes in 1914 in Salvador de Bahia, Lopes began inviting the elderly and those in need into her home at the age of 16. Two years later she joined the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception of the Mother of God.
In 1959, she founded the Charitable Works Foundation of Sister Dulce, which grew into largest charitable organization in Brazil providing healthcare, welfare, and education services. Today the foundation includes Roma teaching hospital in Bahia and the Santo Antonio Educational Center which provides free education to 800 children living in extreme poverty.
Sister Dulce died in 1992 after 30 years of respiratory illness. After her body was found to be incorrupt, Sister Dulce was beatified in 2011 and was selected as one of the patrons of World Youth Day in Krakow as a model of charity.
She is now the first Brazilian-born female saint.
John Henry Newman (1801-1890)
St. John Henry Newman is the most famous English theologian in modern times. Born the son of a London banker, he was baptized in the Anglican church, began studies in Oxford at the age of 16, and was ordained an Anglican priest.
After joining the Oxford Movement, he sought to recover Catholic aspects within the Church of England. However, in 1845, putting aside his academic career, he converted to Catholicism and subsequently spent the last 40 years of his life as a parish priest in Birmingham. There, he cared for the poor and wrote works that have had a major impact on Catholic theology, including in the Second Vatican Council. Leo XIII made him a cardinal, but he never became a bishop.
In 2010, Pope Benedict XVI beatified Newman in London. Benedict noted Newman's emphasis on the vital place of revealed religion in civilized society, but also praised his pastoral zeal for the sick, the poor, the bereaved, and those in prison. Saint John Henry Newman's liturgical feast is October 9.
John Henry Newman has been called the "absent Father of Vatican II" because his writings on conscience, religious liberty, Scripture, the vocation of lay people, the relation of Church and State, and other topics were extremely influential in the shaping of the Council's documents. Although Newman was not always understood or appreciated, he steadfastly preached the Good News by word and example.

COMING UP: The importance of John Henry Newman's canonization
The importance of John Henry Newman's canonization
Jared Staudt
Bl. John Henry Newman (1801-90) will be canonized on Oct. 13 and surely will be named a Doctor of the Church at some point in the future. Newman, known and studied even in secular universities for his masterful prose, epitomizes the drama of conversion. Having experienced the draw of evangelical Christianity in high school, he briefly flirted with liberal secularism at Oxford before taking a lead in the attempt to restore Catholic practices to the Church of England, known as the Oxford Movement. As an Anglican priest and famous preacher, however, he began to doubt the truth of the Anglican Church's 39 articles of faith, recognizing their inconsistency and lack of continuity with the history of the Church.
Newman's conversion touches crucial questions at stake for every Christian. Does the Church transmit truth in clear and authoritative fashion? Does faith depend upon our own individual judgment or is it a grace filled movement of assent to God's revelation? For Newman, there could be no certainty in religion unless God gave authority to the Church to teach definitively in His name. His conversion to the Catholic Church in 1845 marked the definitive moment of his life, when he left the comfort of his life at Oxford and his many friends, for the peace of entering into the Church established by Jesus and which maintained direct continuity to the apostles. This turned his life upside down, but, through it, he experienced the relief of resting in the true faith.
His first work written as a Catholic, in 1848, the year after his ordination to the Catholic priesthood, consisted of a semi-autobiographical novel, Loss and Gain. Ignatius Press released a critical version of the text with commentary, which I read in preparation for his canonization (edited by Trevor Lipscombe, 2012). The main character, Charles Reding, finds himself at Oxford in the midst of religious controversy, having to sort through skepticism, evangelicalism, high Church Anglicanism, and a comfortable conformism. Although Charles bears some resemblance to Newman, his character serves as a more general way of entering into the mind and heart of a young man grappling for religious certainty.
After reading and teaching Newman for many years, Loss and Gain drew me into Oxford in a much more real way, making Newman's time there come alive as he describes it in minute detail: "The first day of Michaelmas term is, to an undergraduate's furniture, the brightest day of the year. Much as Charles regretted home, he rejoiced to see Oxford again. The porter had acknowledged him at the gate, and the scout had smiled and bowed, as he ran up the worn staircase and found a blazing fire to welcome him. The coals crackled and split, and threw up a white flame in strong contrast with the newly blackened bars and hobs of the grate. A shining copper kettle hissed and groaned under the internal torment of water at boiling point … A tea-tray and tea-commons were placed on the table … and a note from a friend whose term had already commenced" (102).
More to the point, we can enter into Newman's train of thought prior to his conversion, which he plays out through the slow development of Charles' faith. Unsatisfied with the inconsistencies of Anglicanism, Charles began to admire the clear authority of the Church: "This too has struck me," he noted to his tutor, "that either there is no prophet of the truth on earth, or the Church of Rome is that prophet. That there is a prophet still, or apostle, or messenger, or teacher, or whatever he is to be called, seems evident by our believing in a visible Church. Now common sense tells us what a messenger from God must be; first, he must not contradict himself … Again, a prophet of God can allow no rival but denounces all who make a separate claim, as the prophets do in Scripture" (190). In his later autobiographical account of his conversion, Apologia pro vita sua, Newman argued that if God were to bestow revelation in the world, there would need to be an authority to interpret this revelation so that it did not become subject to the whims of individual judgment. Newman found this necessary authority in the Catholic Church.
In addition to Newman's imaginative witness to the faith in his two novels and extensive poetry, he also wrote many great works of theology. In particular, he can guide us on pressing questions such as the relationship of conscience and authority and the genuine development of doctrine, which withstands the corruption of novelty. He also wrote one of the richest works on Catholic education, The Idea of a University, and his life bears witness to the central importance of friendship in the Christian life. His canonization marks a momentous occasion for the Church; hopefully it will turn more Catholics toward his prophetic voice.

Paperchase are the latest High Street store to release a wedding collection that is both beautiful and budget friendly. The lovely range of wedding invitations, gifts, table decorations and so much more seem like they could be the perfect option for the stylish yet frugal couples out there, so we thought we'd take a closer look.
The breadth of the collection will cover the majority of your wedding needs. Kick things off with wedding planners, organisers and checklists to help with all that wedmin. As self-proclaimed stationery enthusiasts, we highly recommend the Evergreen 4-piece Wedding Planner Set. It comes with everything you need to survive wedding planning mode, including a planner with special inserts to help with your guest list, budget, vendor contacts and so much more, a cute little set of sticky tabs (basically mini post it notes that have been given a wedding makeover), a book of tear away to-do lists, and a matching pen!
If you're a Bridesmaid or Maid-of-Honour planning a Hen Do, then we insist you take a trip to Paperchase. The collection is fun and youthful, with a little bit of sass. But, it doesn't cross that line between taste and tackiness- a line that gets dangerously thin when it comes to Hen parties. Surprise the Bride to be with balloons, banners and bunting emblazoned with cute bridal party slogans, such as the classic 'Bride Tribe', and our new favourite, 'The I Do Crew'. Throw in a ton of photobooth props and a Unicorn pinata, and you've got yourself the girly haven of your dreams.
When it comes to the actual wedding decorations, the collection doesn't ooze luxury. But, it is made up of some pretty lovely designs that could be great for any couples who are planing a wedding that is fun, lighthearted and- most importantly- that doesn't cost an absolute fortune. There are some standout pieces that particularly caught our eye, and that we think could have a huge impact on your wedding styling.
For example, we love that Paperchase have given the classic balloon a bit of an upgrade. Choose from elegant, over-sized and perfectly spherical balloons, balloons filled with gold confetti, and the 'love' balloon (imagine this floating over a dessert table!).
This gold glitter curtain is also a fabulous piece of decor for a laid back wedding.
We also adore the table games. These are great for keeping guests entertained and for adding a little extra fun to your wedding breakfast. Both the Guess Who cards and the Wedding I Spy game are fabulous ideas.
This Drop Top Framed Guest Book is also lovely. Simply ask your guests to sign one of the little wooden hearts, and drop it in the top of the frame. It will become a permanent fixture in your home, to look back on for year's to come.
And, for the particularly quirky couples out there, we ADORE these hilariously cute Bride and Groom flamingo cake toppers.
Bride and Groom Wedding Flamingos, £8 each.
The downside of the range? A lot of pieces do lean largely on the feminine side. There is a heavy focus on blush pink, gold glitter and a pretty, soft script, meaning it's perhaps not the right choice for anyone trying to avoid a wedding that isn't typically girly. If you're looking for something fun, feminine and relaxed- this is your go-to collection. But, for any other look or style of wedding, you might have to keep hunting.
Loving the High Street wedding trend at the moment? Take a peek at French Connection's modern and contemporary bridal collection.


1) I'm alive and well!
2) My blog has not been sacrificed to the Sponsorship Lords! OR HAS IT?
3) The last day of school was ten days ago. I'm a free woman!
4) Since school got out I have been out of town and on the go go go.
5) Right now I am in Cancun with my entire family. All eight of us siblings + spouses + kids + my mama. There are 36 of us! Only person missing is my dad, but I like to think he's watching all of us and laughing at how ridiculous we all are.
6) There has been a horrible storm/ hurricane that kind of cramped our vacation style. It has rained every day that we've been here and today and yesterday it was raining so hard that it was impossible to go anywhere. Torrential downpour. Winds like I've never seen. Flooding in the street. Mexico be cray!
5) I have not been blogging while on vacation. I did have a few sponsored posts already written and scheduled. I meant to tell you before I left town that I'd be gone and there would be a few sponsored posts to keep you company but other than that the blog would be quiet. But I didn't have time to even write that because it was just insane. I'm sorry for abandoning you and not telling you why!
6) I did plan to blog a little more than I have while here but due to hurricane, the wifi has been totally out. I had 40 something emails when I finally got my email to work tonight and for a control freak like me 40 something unresolved emails in an inbox is a vacationers worst nightmare! But I answered them all! And now it's 1 am and I am sitting here writing this blog post while all other 35 members of my family sleep because those are the sacrifices you make to have a blog?
7) I will be back "in" to my blog on Wednesday. And then I shall tell you about 36 Blackburns in Cancun. And my last day of school. And my amazing budgeting app. And we can talk about the Bachelor too. Those are all things I would really like to do on this blog. Deal?
8) Did anyone notice my numbering got seriously out of whack?

Abandoned 1957 Chevy Photo Picture Classic Cars for sale & Classifieds - Buy Sell Classic Car & Classic Truck Classifieds.
Well, not really, this photo was taken by Steve at a farm in Ontario Canada. It was first spotted about 20 years ago, and and attempt to buy it took place about 8 years ago.......same old story, sorry, not for sale, gonna fix it up someday.
I agree with chevyqilliqboy. It totally would!
Extreme rust involved with this one from the look of it.
Who abandons 57 two door hardtops. Just think how nice this car was in its day. Makes me weep.
57 looks like if it sits any longer it'll be good for parts only!


I have a confession to make: I'm a little lazy when it comes to desserts. I love eating them, but the whole making them/cleaning up a whole bunch of dishes in the process thing just doesn't always feel worth it to me.
So we usually skip dessert & I save it for the holidays or an occasion when I've got a little time & patience to spare in the name of a special meal.
This dessert, though, has been made twice in one week. Just for the two of us.
That is saying something my friends! It's really, really easy. It's the "one dish meal" of desserts.
Slice some apples, toss them in a greased dish with a couple of ingredients to make a yummy "pie filling" sort of situation.
Combine your crisp topping in a bowl and sprinkle it over top.
If I can do this on a weeknight- you can do this any old time. Especially for a holiday- which it is perfect for. It's got all the flavors of a delicious, buttery pie, but without the work of a crust.
I love the cranberry-apple combo, but you can totally substitute all apples if you'd like. Or, try replacing the cranberries with any berry you love.
I just like the mix of these two for the whole tart-sweet combination... I can't get enough!
Try this for your holiday feasts, for breakfast (seriously, it's so good with coffee) or any day of the week- you will not regret it!
Makes 4-6 servings. See notes below.
Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Grease an 8 or 9" baking dish with butter to keep the fruit from sticking.
Add the apples and cranberries to the greased dish and toss with arrowroot and honey to coat.
In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients. Sprinkle over top of the fruit and pat into an even layer.
Transfer to the oven, and bake for 30 minutes or until the fruit is soft and the crisp topping is light golden brown.
Feel free to double the apples in this recipe, or substitute cranberries for another berry you have on hand.
For a larger crumble, double the recipe for both the filling and topping and fill a large 9 x 13" baking dish. The cook time should be about the same, maybe 5 minutes more to brown the top.
