Apple, Inc. Stock: Irrational Fear Is Spreading
Next Some Things to Remember About Market Plunges
Previous Why IBM Should Increase Capital Expenditures
The financial markets have been roiled in recent weeks by the continued spread of the deadly Ebola virus and a steep drop in oil prices. For a while, though, shares of Apple resisted the selling pressure thanks to excitement about the iPhone 6 global rollout.
More recently, Apple stock has started to lose altitude. On Wednesday, the stock fell as low as $95.18, more than 8% below the all-time high it hit last month. An increasing number of people on Wall Street have become fatalistic about the stock's prospects and are now predicting that it will fall further.

Investors shouldn't give in to this fear. While there's no way to be sure where Apple stock will go in the short term, its long-term earnings prospects look better than ever -- and that's all that really matters in the long run. In fact, a strong earnings report on Monday October 20, 2014 could put a quick end to these worries.
Headed for a crash?
In a recent blog post publicized by MarketWatch, J.C. Parets -- who runs a hedge fund called Eagle Bay Capital -- suggested that a declining appetite for risk in the bond markets was likely to spill over into the stock market. Parets called out Apple stock in particular as a candidate for a correction.
That statement followed up on an Oct. 7 blog post in which Parets argued that, based on Apple's recent share performance, the stock had run out of momentum. He concluded that Apple stock was "probably in a lot of trouble" and claimed there was "at least 10%-15% downside" for investors.
Since those blog posts, Apple shares have fallen below the recent trading range of approximately $97.50-$102.50.

For technical analysts, this is a worrisome sign of a downside "breakout." If the stock continues falling on Thursday and Friday, the hand-wringing about Apple stock will intensify. This obsession with stock market momentum is extremely short-sighted, though.
Looking in the rearview mirror
While stock charts are useful for seeing how a stock has been doing, here at the Fool we don't look at charts to try to determine whether to buy or sell. We don't put any faith in "technical analysis," either.
That's not to say that momentum doesn't exist in the stock market. However, it's not a reliable indicator of future stock performance. In the long run, what really matters is a company's earnings trajectory.
Indeed, stock charts can only tell you about the past. Trying to predict Apple stock's future performance based on its chart is like trying to drive while looking only in the rearview mirror. If the road is straight, you may get good results for a while -- but at the first curve you are destined to crash and burn.
A curve is coming up
Translating this notion into investing terms, the "curves" are major pieces of news. In the absence of significant news, momentum can drive stock performance. However, when new information on a company's earnings trajectory becomes available, it overrides momentum -- and usually doesn't take long to do so.
In the case of Apple stock, the last big news items came last month. On Sept. 22, Apple announced that it sold more than 10 million iPhones on launch weekend, and on Sept. 30 it announced that the new iPhones will go on sale in China on Oct. 17. Another big piece of news will come out in less than a week -- Apple is reporting its quarterly earnings on Oct. 20.

So far, all the signs look positive. Adoption rates of the new phones appear to be significantly better than what Apple achieved last year, even though China wasn't included in the iPhone 6 launch. Pre-order demand in China also appears to be very robust.
However, Apple knows better than any outsider how iPhone supply and demand are holding up. If it projects stronger December quarter results than what analysts and investors are anticipating, Apple stock's negative momentum will soon be forgotten.
Foolish final thoughts
Investors should be suspicious of reports that predict stock price moves based on momentum and technical signals and make no mention of revenue growth, earnings growth, or other financial indicators.
In the absence of any relevant new information about a company's prospects, momentum may rule the day. But beyond the very short term, a company's earnings trajectory determines the fate of its stock.
If Apple reports that iPhone 6 demand isn't as strong as it appears or that high production costs will cut into its profit margin, then Apple stock may really be in trouble. On the flip side, if iPhone demand is as strong as ever and earnings growth is about to accelerate, long-term Apple investors don't have a thing to worry about.
Apple Watch revealed: The real winner is inside
Apple recently revealed the product of its secret-development "dream team" -- the Apple Watch. The secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming that its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts that 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see where the real money is to be made, just click here!

The Areca Palm Tree, also known as golden cane palm, cane palm, yellow butterfly palm, bamboo palm and Madagascar palm. It is a common landscape plant. It has multiple stems that grow 20 to 35 feet tall at a rate of 2 feet or more per growing season. For best results, plant Areca palm in areas where average low temperatures range between 35 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. It grows in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 through 11 and does well indoors or outdoor in containers.
Sun, Soil and Sea: You can plant the Areca palm tree in clay, loamy or sandy soil with an acidic to alkaline pH. This versatile tree does well in sites with full sun to partial shade, with access to plenty of water. An Areca palm planted in full sun tends to turn yellowish-green, but retains its green color in partial shade. It is moderately tolerant of salt spray from the ocean.
Trunk, Foliage, Flowers and Fruit: The Arcea palm is known for its attractive trunk. The leaf scars on the 2- to 3-inch diameter trunks of the Areca palm are tightly packed and have a wide range of colors, including yellow, orange and shades of green. The large leaves grow 6 to 8 feet long and provide a low to moderately low amount of shade. Drooping, yellow flower stalks grow below the leaves and produce insignificant white flowers that beget 1-inch-long, egg-shaped fruit that starts out yellow and turns purple to black.
In the Landscape: Areca palm trees make an ideal natural fence when planted in clusters about 10 feet apart. Once the trees fill out, this natural fence doubles as a privacy screen. They also make an attractive stand-alone specimen.
For the most attractive look and a healthy tree, prune the lower leaves to reveal its mulch colored trunk and to prevent insect infestations and fungal growth.

Nixon's decision to delink the dollar from gold still haunts the IMF, South Africa and Africa
Five decades ago this month US President Richard Nixon informed the world that the United States would no longer honor its commitment to exchange US dollars for gold on demand. The compromise had been the foundation of the international monetary system created in 1944 at Bretton Woods, a conference established to regulate the international financial order after the conclusion of World War II. This system it required each participating state to maintain a fixed face value for its currency in terms of the US dollar. In return, the United States promised to freely exchange dollars for gold at the agreed price of $ 35 per ounce of gold.
Nixon's action, announced on August 15, 1971, had profound and lasting effects on the International Monetary Fund , South Africa and Africa.

Nixon's decision violated United States treaty obligations. But he had few options.
By 1970, the rest of the industrialized world had accumulated such a large holdings of dollars that the United States did not have enough gold to credibly keep the gold window open. The situation is likely to continue to deteriorate because in 1971 the US. first trade deficit 20th century.
In short, the United States lacked the resources to administer the Bretton Woods system on its own.
Five years after Nixon's decision, IMF member states agreed to end the monetary role of gold and, in effect, move to a market system of floating exchange rates.
Nixon's action 50 years ago continues to influence global economic governance. At the time, the ripple effects for southern Africa were also profound.
An unintended consequence was that South Africa, at the time the world's largest gold producer, lost its position as a central player in the international monetary system. As a result, the apartheid regime in South Africa became less important to the Western world. This contributed to South Africa in collusion with the US to fight against Cubans and Russians who supported the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) in its fight for the independence of Angola.
It also made it easier for other nations to support sanctions against South Africa and, in the 1980s, to oppose future support from the IMF and later commercial banks to South Africa.
Nixon's announcement and its aftermath also changed the IMF's mission.
IMF change of course
During the Bretton Woods era, the IMF met annually with each of its member states to establish that they were following policies consistent with maintaining the nominal value of their currency. This put limits on the issues the IMF would raise during these visits, as well as the range of officials it needed to consult with.
It also meant that since all member states were participants in the same international monetary system, their ability to maintain the nominal value of their currency was influenced by the same variables. Furthermore, since they were all potential consumers of the IMF's financial services, and during this time all member states turned to their finances, they would all need to pay similar attention to the IMF's advice.
This was particularly relevant because the conditions that the IMF imposed on its financial support would likely be based on this advice.
The end of the nominal value system changed all this. If countries were not required to hold a particular value for their currency, what exactly was the IMF supposed to be monitoring in their annual mission to each country.
The treaty establishing the IMF had been modified. Now it was limited to stipulating that the IMF should ensure that member states contribute to a stable exchange rate system. This meant that the IMF had to monitor all factors that could influence the ability of each country to pay all its international obligations and keep the price of its exports competitive. Since almost any aspect of a state's economy could affect the exchange rate, the IMF slowly began to broaden the range of issues they raised in their annual visits to countries. They began to incorporate topics such as food subsidies, labor policies, social spending, regulatory policies, trade policy, and the role of the state in the economy.
While the IMF surveillance reports were purely advisory, their impact varied depending on the situation in each country. Countries that were wealthy and knew they would not need IMF financial support could comfortably ignore its advice. After 1976, no rich country requested IMF financing until the European debt crisis in 2010. It thus regained the monetary sovereignty that it had ceded to the IMF at Bretton Woods.
On the other hand, countries that anticipated they would need IMF financing or IMF approval of their policies were forced to take the advice seriously. They knew that it would determine the conditions that the IMF imposed on financial support or their access to other sources of financing.
To a differentiated world
The result was that after 1976 the IMF became an organization that engaged with member states in a differentiated base.
Some, knowing that they would not need their services, could collaborate with the IMF essentially on a voluntary basis. Others, anticipating that one way or another they would need to consume the IMF's services, were forced to treat the IMF with deference, knowing that they had limited ability to oppose its advice.
Unfortunately, given the weighted voting arrangements at the IMF, this differentiation also meant that the states with the dominant voice in the organization were not dependent on its services. As a result, they could impose demands on you without worrying about being accountable to those who would be most affected by their decisions.
This was a situation ripe for abuse. For example, in the Asian crisis of 1996, the most influential member states of the IMF might refuse to support IMF financing for Asian countries unless adopted economic policies that benefited rich countries.
The IMF also found a new role for itself in the 1980s as the disciplinarian of countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America facing debt crisis. It offered these states some financial support in exchange for their other creditors offering them supplemental relief and their compliance with various IMF policy conditions. Given the broad scope of the IMF's mandate, these conditions were intrusive in the affairs of its member states and were consistent with the ideological preferences of the free market of its wealthy member states.
This resulted, for example, in the controversial structural adjustment policies that the IMF forced the African states to follow in this period.
Long term impact
Nixon's decision marked the end of America's exclusive hegemony over the Western world. It also left the IMF without a clearly defined role. Under the leadership of the industrialized countries, it began to shape a new, more intrusive and ideological role as an advisor and financier to developing member states, including in Africa.
In addition, by freeing up exchange rates, Nixon initiated the process of globalization of finance and creating today's global economyin which companies make decisions based on short-term financial considerations rather than on the real needs of people and society.

RedState targets Hutchison
By Paul Burka
Twenty-three Democratic senators will be up for reelection in 2012 compared to only thirteen Republicans. The conservative Web site RedState.com is looking for potential tea party targets–among the Republicans, not the Democrats. From the RedState article: As you are settling down from yesterday's victories, you will want to also pay attention to this list. While many will be focusing on a potential Presidential pick for the GOP, we should not all get distracted by that. We have a significant opportunity to improve the Senate GOP through some primaries. Here is a list of potential targets for primaries — these are all of the Senate Republicans up for re-election in 2012: John Barasso (WY) Scott Brown (MA) Bob Corker (TN) John Ensign (NV) Orrin Hatch (UT) Kay Bailey Hutchison (TX) Jon Kyl (AZ) Richard Lugar (IN) Olympia Snowe (ME) Roger Wicker (MS) Note that this is just the list of Senate Republicans running. Not all will be targets, but it will be from these men and women that the tea party movement starts looking for targets. Now, before you all get giddy about Olympia Snowe, I would respectfully suggest that Corker, Hatch, Hutchison, Lugar, and Wicker make better targets as we have a much greater certainty of both beating them in primaries and also winning the general election. Wicker and Corker in particular make exciting prospects for the tea party movement. * * * * It is a sign of the sorry state of our politics that truly distingushed senators like Richard Lugar and Orrin Hatch are in RedState's "make better targets" group. Hutchison could have been just as highly regarded had it not been for her catastrophic race against Perry. The incentive for Hutchison to run again is that, if the Republicans take the Senate in 2012 — as they almost certainly will be favored to do, with so many prime Democratic targets available — she would become chair of the influential Commerce committee. In a bygone era, having a Texan chair a committee whose jurisdiction includes energy would have been a major asset in a Senate race, but these days ideology trumps self-interest, and Hutchison's conservative credentials took a mortal hit when Perry hung the label of Kay "Bailout" around her neck. (Just as it no longer matters to voters that a politician has a prominent position in Washington, neither does it matter that she was right and Perry was wrong about the bailout. So what if it saved the national, and perhaps the world, financial system and has proven to be a moneymaker for the government? It was against the ideology of the Tea Party. That will make her a prime target in the 2012 elections.) If Hutchison does run for reelection, she will almost certainly face primary opposition from David Dewhurst and possibly others. Her inept race against Perry depleted her campaign treasury and eroded her reputation as a skilled and popular politician. If the January financial reports do not show that she has raised a substantial amount of money, that will be an indication that she intends to quit rather than face another brutal race. Her favorable/unfavorable numbers have rebounded since last March's primary — in a recent poll, they were 56% favorable, 25% unfavorable, not as good as the days when her favorables were in the 60s, but still solid. Even so, I don't think she's electable in 2012 against a strong primary opponent like Dewhurst.

Raffaele Viglianti Lecture
The Music Scholars Lecture Series Presents

"Did they have iPads on their music stands?" Understanding the role of digital scores in performance
Friday, November 9, 2018 at 4pm
Leah Smith Hall (Room 2200), School of Music
Concert goers are growing accustomed to performers, particularly small ensembles, who bring a tablet computer on stage and place it on the music stand before they begin to play. Perhaps less noticed, a silent tap on the side of a screen, or the nimble pressing of a foot pedal has replaced the rustle of page turning. What is bringing some performers to the digital medium for their scores? What are the repertoires and types of ensembles that are more successfully engaging with it? How and how deeply are performers consuming the digital score? Notwithstanding an observable increase in the use of digital devices to study and perform music, the transactions between score and performers are only mildly affected: the digital score primarily acts like its paper counterpart: a static, largely reliable instrument for learning and performing a given work of music. The flexibility of the digital medium, as opposed to something fixed on paper, calls for a more modern concept of the score, one that undermines its prescriptiveness by making room for material and features targeted at supporting performers in their interpretation and advocacy of a musical work. What would such a truly digital score look like? And more importantly, what are the critical instruments necessary to understand its impact on performance and music making at large?
Raffaele Viglianti is a Research Programmer working on the MITH development team. Raffaele's work revolves around digital editions and textual scholarship. He is currently an elected member of the Text Encoding Initiative technical council and an advisor for the Music Encoding Initiative, which produces guidelines for the digital representation of music notation with a focus on scholarly requirements. As a researcher, Raffaele specializes in editions of music scores, contributing to the ongoing change to scholarly editorial theory and practice in the digital medium. His work also focuses on the shaping of music performance practice by the digital consumption of music scores, or the performance of a music score from a digital device.
The Music Scholars Lecture Series is organized by the Musicology and Ethnomusicology Division and features new research by guest speakers throughout the academic year.


In many bhajans and keertans we hear the name of Radha being chanted before the name of Krishna. And yet most people are unfamiliar with Radha. As this is the most auspicious and important day of Radhashtami (Shree Radha's appearance day), many questions enter the mind. Who is the entity called Radha? Where does She stand in relation to Krishna? Why does Her name always come before Krishna's? Why should we celebrate Her Birthday?
Radha, the Supreme Goddess, incarnated some 5,000 years ago in the village of Barsana. She is often called "Barsane Vari," (the one from Barsana), "Bhanudulari" (Daughter of King Vrishabhanu), and Keertikumari (Daughter of Mother Keerti). She is a Friend to the gopis, the milkmaids of Vrindavan. However, She is not to be mistaken as one of them. She is indeed worshipped by the gopis.
This was the final talk given by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, on 11 November 2013, before He departed for the divine abode. In this speech, Shri Maharaj Ji advises that the aspiring devotee must practice to meditate with his mind on the lotus feet of Radha Rani in order to increase his love for her.

Seniors say goodbye with a flourish
By Dominic Honoré on May 3, 2019 in Softball, Sports
Dominic Honoré
It was a game of senior moments and emotions as the La Verne softball team finished out their season frying the Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens on Senior Day.
After losing a close battle in game one of the doubleheader with a score of 1-0, the Leopards led by all four of their seniors, dropped 10 on the Sagehens in game two, canceling them out early at the bottom of the fifth.
"It's an overwhelming amount of emotions right now," senior outfielder Carly Condon said. "It was such a great way for all four of us to go out with a bang."
All four seniors – catcher Melissa Garcia, right fielder Sienna Kendricks, left fielder Rachel Ogata and Condon – made huge story book ending plays to finish their careers.
Between them, they were responsible for all 10 RBIs in game two after going just a combined 1-for-11 in game one.
It started in the bottom of the first inning when Garcia hit a home run down center field to bring junior third baseman Justice Borden and Kendricks home.
"I just felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders," Garcia said. "I am glad I was able to go out with a bang and end my final doubleheader on a good note."
The Sagehens would respond back at the top of the second and third innings with two RBIs of their own making the score 3-2.
Ogata set the tone defensively in the top of the second inning when she made her second diving catch of the season from her left out field position to cancel the Sagehens' second scoring efforts with bases loaded.
"Honestly when you're in the moment you don't think about it being your last game and that you have to do something," Ogata said. "I felt a lot of emotions at that moment because I was doing it for my team which is who I've always done it for all season."
The Leopards would then run with the lead the rest of the game.
Of the two big plays that Kendricks had, the first one came in the bottom of the third inning when she hit a double RBI down the infield line to bring home sophomore first baseman Gabriella Underwood.
Ogata and Kendricks then took over the bottom of the fourth. Ogata started it off with an RBI of her own off a single to bring home junior outfielder Kayla Giannatasio.
Kendricks' second big play outshined her first when she hit a home run down center field bringing Underwood and Ogata home along with her.
"Hitting doubles and home runs always feels great, but to do both in this game, at those moments, in front of my family was an amazing feeling," Kendricks said.
Ogata shared Kendricks' sentiment about performing well in her last game in front of her family.
"I had been struggling through the day," Ogata said. "I really didn't think I was going to get another at bat so to end my softball career that way was pretty special."
Condon put the nail in the coffin for the Sagehens, with bases loaded in the bottom of the fifth inning.
The last play of the game was her RBI off a double to bring home Giannatasio and junior designated player Katheryn Navarro.
"It was a fairy tale ending to finish 17 years of playing softball," Condon said. "I have not had the best season but that last at bat, I felt like I had the whole crowd behind me and Pomona put back their starting pitcher back in so I just came to plate with the mindset of let's go; whatever happens, happens."
The game ended with the whole team running out to Condon at second base where they all emotionally embraced in a team huddle to finish their season.

There's some great finds to be had in Madrid's El Rastro flea market, but they're not immediately obvious to the newcomer. When I saw stalls selling the usual market wares, predominantly clothing and faux designer bags lining the street leading down to Plaza de Cascorra, I was doubtful I was going to find anything worthwhile. That is, until we spied the side streets. To my delight these cobbled laneways contained the treasures I had come in search of.
Spread out on the ground and stacked in doorways of antique shops were all manner of interesting objects d'art. Antique books, locks, irons and large ornate picture frames were everywhere. A wonderful old Underwood typewriter and several book presses caught my eye. Sadly, there was no way any of these items could fit in my luggage. Several beautifully worn shoe lasts that were going for a song would have, until I remembered the restrictions on bringing wood into Australia, so reluctantly I had to leave them behind.
A beautiful penned manuscript at a hundred euros may have been out of my price range, but when I picked up a bundle of engravings and the seller said "Twenty euros," my heart skipped a beat. I offered fifteen and he replied that if I bought several he'd drop the price to fifteen EACH!! He and I obviously weren't on the same page.
I loved listening to vendors and buyers haggling over the 'precios'. Just hearing the local language no matter where one is, makes the whole experience more enjoyable. Bargaining is expected and when one or two vendors dropped the price from twenty euros to ten immediately I began walking away, I was suspicious as to whether the item was the real deal. But at the end of the day it didn't matter. I've learned from experience that there is nothing worse than regretting not buying something when you get the opportunity - you're likely to never see it again.
After three hours I came away with a few treasures, including a tiny silver mesh purse, some large keys, rubber ink stamps, chandelier faceted glass, and an 1840 French book. It's heavy but the cover and end papers and text are divine.
Arriving early at the market was definitely the way to go, because by lunchtime when the crowds had swelled and the sun was high we'd had enough. While locals sipped their beer and ate tapas we opted for an expresso before returning to our apartment to drool over our finds.
Next weekend we'll be in Granada for more bargain hunting; with Valencia, Barcelona and then Paris to follow. Give me a flea market over a designer shoe store any day!

Michael Anthony Dorris (January 30, 1945 – April 10, 1997) was an American novelist and scholar who was the first Chair of the Native American Studies program at Dartmouth College. His works include the novel A Yellow Raft in Blue Water (1987) and the memoir The Broken Cord (1989).
He married author Louise Erdrich, and the two had a family of six children. They frequently collaborated in some of their writing. They separated in 1995. He committed suicide in 1997 while police were investigating allegations that he had abused his daughters.
The Broken Cord, which won the 1989 National Book Critics Circle Award for General Nonfiction, was about dealing with his adopted son, who had fetal alcohol syndrome, and the widespread damage among children born with this problem. The work helped gain provoke Congress to approve legislation to warn of the dangers of drinking alcohol during pregnancy.

Also note that com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2DataSource already contains a connection pool. So if you're packing this datasource into the connection pool of your choice you will get a connection pool inside a connection pool. Which is … let's say … inappropriate.

Large-Scale Sex Trafficking Operation Rescues 225 Victims, including Children
One hundred forty-one adults and 121 minors have been rescued as part of a massive nationwide operation against sex trafficking, which took place over a period of two weeks.
Eighty-four minor sex trafficking victims were rescued, and 37 actively missing children, according to The Department of Justice who announced the results of "Operation Cross Country" Monday.
"Human trafficking is among the most heinous crimes the FBI encounters," FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a statement.
"Unfortunately, such crimes — against both adults and children — are far more common than most people realize," he added.

Operation Cross Country XII Leads to Identification/Location of Adolescent Victimshttps://t.co/0IzSgji8Cv
— Justice Department (@TheJusticeDept) August 15, 2022
State and local law enforcement partners worked with federal investigators to identify or arrest "85 suspects of child sexual exploitation and human trafficking offenses," the DOJ said.
The DOJ noted that the suspects will face investigation for potential charges.
Child sex trafficking victims
According to reports, those recused in "Operation Cross Country" were as young as 11 years old.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children partnered with the operation.
"Children are being bought and sold for sex in communities across the country by traffickers, gangs, and even family members," Michelle DeLaune, the president and CEO of the center, said in a statement.
"We're proud to support the FBI's efforts to prioritize the safety of children. This national operation highlights the need for all child-serving professionals to continue to focus on the wellbeing of children and youth to prevent them from being targeted in the first place."

Section Chief Jose Perez, who oversees violent crime investigations in the FBI, added, "The initiative really just takes a concentrated period of time where we're just focused on the problem of child sex trafficking,"
"What we do is we sit down with our local partners and our task forces and identify certain areas where we know sex trafficking is prevalent, and we'll dedicate resources and efforts to identify and remove victims from those areas," he said.

The ability only works with a dagger, you can poison this dagger and it'll only apply the poison once, so lethal poison is best to use in this case.

Mr. Guillaume Barazzone
Administrative councilor
The Firefighters Museum is an amazing memory box, which tells a great deal about the evolution of our city. As mayor and administrative councilor of the Urban Environment and Safety Department, supervisory authority of the Fire and Rescue Service, I am pleased these memories now exist in a digital version.
Our website was designed and made by a group of enthusiasts. It invites you to learn more about the history of Geneva fire brigade. Photo, news and practical information encourage you to come and discover a museum that keeps a real originality and highlights the mission of those who contribute significantly to population safety. For rescue implies safety!
A big cheer for our volunteers who bring alive the museum and its website.
Guillaume Barazzone
The Commander of the S.I.S
Nicolas SCHUMACHER
The Museum of Geneva firefighters traces the evolution of our business, its technical resources, its equipment, its outfits.
It is the work of employees of the Fire Department and Rescue, active and retired, who, on a day of rest and despite an increasing operational commitment, spontaneously who came to work for the creation of this place of history. A beautiful testimony!
Besides the interest to see the equipment, vehicles and outfit presentations, the presence of retired guides is a tremendous added value for the visitor. They have a firefighter career behind them, even if we never truly leave this wonderful profession! The many explanations that will be given, the experiences that will be narrated to you and anecdotes, after more than 30 years of experience, will certainly help you understand the immense fields of action of the Geneva firefighters.
This place is for active firefighters, a link with the past and, indirectly, with the future! Every aspiring professional firefighter completes his training with a tour and explanation of the work of his predecessors, by our elders.
Beyond these considerations, this museum pays a tribute :
To those who have enabled our profession to evolve, century after century.
Honoring our elders, without which we would not have the structure and the current resources.Tribute to the men and women who engage with conviction, intense conviction, essential for accomplishing the many missions that are ours.Tribute to those who support us in our actions and enable our Corps to evolve, to adapt to the current risks to better protect and rescue, such as were able to do our seniors.Finally a tribute to those who were injured or died on duty. Sometimes we tend to forget the supreme sacrifice of too many passed senior firefighters.
Good visit to everyone and … onward in writing the next pages of our history!
Commander N. Schumacher
Mr. Georges PELLET
Dear friendly visitors, dear children,
Above all, a museum is a place where amazing collections are exhibited. Our museum is no exception to the rule. Firefighters have patiently built up our collections for decades, jealously preserving witnesses of the past. The exhibitions are made up of machinery, vehicles and various items including personal protective equipment: interesting collections as they cover a period going from the eighteenth century to the present day!
But the originality of our museum lies in the welcoming building housing it. On an industrial wasteland adjacent to volunteer firefighters' depot in the district of Jonction, staff of the F.R.S. took time on their leisure to create a place worth the value of exhibited materials. This creation wasn't expensive since wood was recovered after hurricane Lothar devastated Switzerland in December 1999. Decoration and development of explanatory notes are obviously our own creations.
You must admit that our place is worth the detour, especially as it is free! We will welcome you with pleasure every Wednesday and Sunday (outside school holidays). Two volunteer guides from our association, former professional firefighters of Geneva F.R.S., will accompany you and answer all your questions.
President of the
Association of the Firefighters Museum of the City of Geneva

NBA rumors: Chris Paul wants out of Houston, Stephen A. Smith hears
By Ali Thanawalla June 15, 2019 9:38 PM
Houston, you have a problem.
The James Harden-Chris Paul arrangement on the Rockets could be ending soon.
And it comes at a bad time for the Rockets, who now could have a chance for the 2020 NBA championship with the Warriors licking their wounds from a brutal Finals loss.
ESPN's Stephen A. Smith dropped this bit of news on his radio show Friday while talking to NBA insider Brian Windhorst.
"In the end, it's this: With Kevin Durant out, with Klay Thompson out for most of the season, one could argue the Houston Rockets now have a window to get to the NBA Finals," Smith said. "But you're also hearing Chris Paul wants out, Chris Paul wouldn't mind going somewhere else, preferrably LA, maybe, we don't know, with LeBron. We don't know. But you're hearing he wants out."
This is the video of Stephen A. Smith saying that he or they are hearing Chris Paul wants out of Houston. pic.twitter.com/P0NxPkFO47
— ClutchFans (@clutchfans) June 14, 2019
Smith dropped the "Los Angeles" nugget before the Lakers agreed to acquire All-Star big man Anthony Davis in a trade with the Pelicans on Saturday.
The Lakers will have between $27 million and $32 million left in salary-cap space, so they could try to acquire Paul to fill their point guard hole. But the New York Times reported that the Lakers have their eyes on free agent Kemba Walker, a much younger option.
Paul's remaining contract could be an issue, though. He's owed $38.5 million in 2019-20, just over $41 million in 2020-21 and just over $44 million in 2021-22.
"I would never say that CP3's untradeable," Windhorst said. "He's tradeable, for sure. But he's not tradeable in a way that makes their team better."
If the Rockets break up their two-headed monster, you can give the Warriors a large hand in causing its demise. Golden State has ended Houston's season each of the last two years. The Rockets believed they were better than the Warriors, but each season, they were proven wrong.
[RELATED: Lakers start arms race to dethrone Warriors]
Under the Warriors' watch, the Los Angeles Clippers, led by Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, broke up. The LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers broke up after four consecutive NBA Finals matchups. Soon, the Rockets could be the next team to come crashing down because they were unable to get past Golden State.

Where Steph Curry, Kevin Durant rank in Stephen A. Smith's NBA top five
By Dalton Johnson June 05, 2019 9:06 AM
Whether you're a fan or an analyst, everyone has their own rankings of the best players in their respective sport. As the NBA evolves with more and more unique talent, it's become incredibly hard to slot basketball's best players.
On Wednesday morning, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith revealed his top five, and it likely will make Warriors fans both happy and angry.
Starting off Stephen A's top five is Warriors guard Steph Curry. There's no doubt that Dub Nation believes he should be ranked higher than that.
"Steph Curry is the greatest shooter in the history of basketball," Smith said on ESPN's First Take. "No, he's not an elite defender. But his offense, his shot, is so potent, it affects defenses. It affects you defensively because it makes opposing offenses panic and tighten, because they know if they miss, he's getting the ball back, and it's lights out."
Here's @stephenasmith's A-List ... and Giannis didn't make the cut. 👀 pic.twitter.com/Lwo92nqb94
— First Take (@FirstTake) June 5, 2019
The Warriors have a team full of All-Stars but only one more player on Smith's big board. It's Kevin Durant, who's No. 1, one spot ahead of LeBron James.
"He is arguably the most unstoppable offensive force in basketball, and he's one of those rare individuals that has the opportunity to be the all-time leading scorer in NBA history when everything is said and done," Smith said of KD.
[RELATED: How Warriors can benefit from Raptors hounding Curry]
Durant currently sits No. 31 on the NBA's all-time career points list with 22,940, well behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's mark of 38,387.
The Warriors must continue to face the Raptors in the NBA Finals with only one top-five player, as Durant remains out with a strained right calf.

NBA Finals: Stephen A. Smith not betting money on Raptors to beat Warriors
By Ali Thanawalla May 26, 2019 7:22 PM
Hopefully for the Golden State Warriors and their fans, there's no such thing as a "Stephen A. Smith curse."
Because if there is, he's just given the kiss of death to the Warriors' three-peat hopes.
In the moments after the Toronto Raptors eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals Saturday night, Stephen A joined Sportsnet's Eric Smith and was asked if the Raptors have a chance to dethrone the Warriors in the NBA Finals.
"With Kawhi Leonard, you always have a chance, but I'm not betting my money on Toronto," Stephen A said. "I've got them losing this series."
But Stephen A was quick to point out his own mistake when making a pick prior to the start of the Eastern Conference finals.
"Let's keep in mind I was wrong, because I thought Milwaukee would beat them at the beginning until I saw Game 3," Stephen A said. "Bottom line is Milwaukee has a problem hitting perimeter shots. I think everyone on Planet Earth and beyond knows the Golden State Warriors don't have a problem hitting perimeter shots. That's your No. 1 problem if you're the Toronto Raptors."
With Kevin Durant out because of a right calf strain, the Warriors' offense has been running through Steph Curry. Over the last five full games without Durant, Curry is averaging 35.8 points and attempting more than 14 3-pointers per game.
While Milwaukee has players who can knock down 3-pointers, their offense ran through Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is not much of an outside threat.
"[The Warriors] don't really have to deal with you in terms of going down low," Stephen A said. "They can beat you from 3-point range all over the place. That's your dilemma, that's what you're going to have to deal with, and it's going to be real interesting to see what they do with that.
"I've got Steph Curry and Klay Thompson exploding, and the only way they can be stopped is if you stop them from hitting baskets. Offense outscoring them ain't going to get it done. You've got to stop Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Otherwise, you're going home in five games."
[RELATED: Warriors-Raptors NBA Finals preview]
Stephen A has a point. WIth the way Curry played in the Western Conference finals, if Thompson finds his shot early in the NBA Finals, it could be a short series. If Thompson finds his shot AND Durant then returns midway through the series, Toronto could find itself in a world of hurt.
The safe bet is to put your money on the back-to-back defending champs.

The story of a MKE violin robbery
Noe Goldhaber|November 12, 2019
courtesy Clarified Films
On October 25th at the Oriental Theater, "Plucked," a movie about Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra violinist Frank Almond's stolen Stradivarius violin, was shown as part of the Milwaukee Film Festival. With a line for the film that went around the corner, and Frank Almond himself being in the audience and present for an interview after the showing, it was clear that there was a lot of excitement from the audience.
The film begins with an introduction as to what Stradivarius instruments are and what makes the instruments so valuable. Stradivarii are instruments that were made in Cremona, Italy, in the 17th and 18th century. They are worth millions of dollars. The instruments are valued for their beautiful sound and acknowledged as the best instruments ever. Today, only the finest players play on Stradivarius instruments, with only 244 violins currently accounted for.
In January of 2014, Frank Almond, the concertmaster of the MSO, was tased in a parking lot after a performance. A man stole the 1715 'Lipinski' Stradivarius from Almond. The film looks into the police investigation that followed, and into the lives of the not-so-brilliant art thieves, Universal Knowledge Allah and Salah Jones.
The film looks into the police investigation that followed, and into the lives of the not-so-brilliant art thieves, Universal Knowledge Allah and Salah Jones. "
One of the things I enjoyed so much about the documentary was the thorough depiction of the personalities of both Allah and Jones. Instead of making them out to be evil criminals, the documentary paints both of the thieves as somewhat personable loving people. Allah is shown smiling in almost every scene, and at one point tells that detectives that they are his favorite detectives he's ever met. It becomes clear that Allah had very little knowledge about the instrument and was only hoping to make some more money to provide for his teenage daughters. Jones is shown as a man with a deep passion and appreciation for art, and someone who also loves and values his ex-wife and children.
Another enjoyable aspect of the film were the surprisingly funny jokes. Some of my favorite scenes in the documentary were the detectives questioning Allah. When asked if he knows anything about violins, Allah shares that he played the drums in middle school. Another comical part of the film was the detectives and various other law enforcement member's reaction to a stolen violin. In Frank Almond's 911 call, he informs the dispatcher of the severity of the issue, but when the dispatcher asks about his physical health after being tased he continues to talk about his violin and the value of it, instead of his physical condition.
Whether you are a fan of classical music and aware of Stradivarius instruments and their high value, or not, you will find this film comical, informative and interesting.

DESCRIPTION OF CONTENTS:
Bipolar disorder in adolescents is a serious mental illness with problematic diagnosis that adversely affects social, academic, emotional, and family functioning. The objective of this study was to analyze features of premorbid and clinical symptoms, comorbidity, and course of bipolar disorder in adolescence. Data for analysis were collected from all case histories (N=6) of 14–18-year-old patients, hospitalized with diagnosis of bipolar disorder in the Unit of Children's and Adolescents' Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry, Hospital of Kaunas University of Medicine, during the period from 2000 to 2005. Analysis of bipolar disorder course showed that five patients previously had been diagnosed with an episode of depression. The most frequent symptoms typical to bipolar disorder were disobedience and impulsive behavior, rapid changes of mood. The most common premorbid features were frequent changes of mood, being active in communication, hyperactive behavior. Adolescence-onset bipolar disorder was frequently comorbid with emotionally instable personality disorder, borderline type. Findings of the study confirm the notion that oppositional or impulsive behavior, rapid changes of mood without any reason, dysphoric mood and euphoric mood episodes with increased energy were cardinal symptoms of bipolar disorder with mania in adolescents. Most frequent premorbid features of these patients were quite similar to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder making differential diagnosis problematic.
REVIEWER'S COMMENTS ON THE DOCUMENT:
This article is relevant because in recent years there is a global tendency of growing number of people, especially the youth, who are suffering from a mental illness called bipolar disorder. These children often do not get the appropriate assistance in time and these children go to school without receiving treatment. Therefore it is very important that every parent, not only the staff of the school, observe their children's behavior, because only parents know their children best and could quickly notice their behavior changes.
Often these students have hyperactivity, manic behavior, so they usually actively involve in school activities and in some way influence their peers. It is important to distinguish these actions that are caused by the disease from school-bullying situations.

Casper znany też jako 11 Królik lub Ch'aaj K'ik' (ur. 8 sierpnia 422, zm. prawdopodobne ok. 487 roku) – majański władca miasta Palenque i następca K'uk' Bahlama I. Panował w latach 435–487.

Wstąpił na tron 9 sierpnia 435 roku w wieku 13 lat i panował przez 52 lata. Dłużej od niego władzę sprawował tylko Pakal Wielki. Mimo tak długich rządów niewiele wiadomo na jego temat. Również glif z jego imieniem nie został do końca odczytany, więc umownie określany jest jako Casper. Taki przydomek nadał mu archeolog Floyd Lounsbury, ponieważ wizerunek na glifie z jego imieniem przypomina postać Kacpra z filmu animowanego. Inny badacz David Kelley nadał mu imię 11 Królik od daty narodzin władcy, która w kalendarzu tzolkin przypadła 11 Lamat (symbolem dnia Lamat jest królik). Z kolei epigrafista Guillermo Bernal Romero badający inskrypcje ze Świątyni XVI zasugerował, że prawdziwe imię władcy to Ch'aaj K'ik. Dotychczas udało się odczytać pierwszy człon glifu, który brzmi ch'a.

Teksty wspominają, że młody władca przewodził uroczystości z okazji zakończenia ósmego baktunu i rozpoczęcia dziewiątego. Jeden baktun trwał 144 000 dni, czyli ok. 395 lat. Ceremonia odbyła się w Toktahn – Casper podobnie jak K'uk' Bahlama I nosił tytuł "króla Toktahn" . Władca przewodniczył też dwukrotnie (w 445 i 460 roku) w ceremonii inauguracyjnej kilku dostojników.

Choć data jego śmierci się nie zachowała to najpewniej żył do 487 roku, kiedy to władzę przejął B'utz Aj Sak Chiik.

Establish a realistic goal of the amount of money you would like to raise. This number will help determine entrance fees and keep your expenses down. To curtail costs, you may want to budget yourself by outlining planned revenues and expenses.
Ticket Sales-Selling tickets to a fundraising event is the single most important task in making the event a success. Ticket prices can vary, depending on the audience and what the event includes (e.g. dinner, buffet, open bar, etc.). Providing a discount for advance sales and block sales is a great incentive. For example, if tickets at the door are usually $20 per person, you may want to offer pre-sale tickets at $15 per person or two for $25. It is also easier for 20 people to each sell 10 tickets than it is for 1 person to sell 200 tickets. Hold each of these 20 people responsible for the sale of their portion of tickets.
Table Sponsorship- Sell sponsorships for each of the tables at your party. Casino Special Event will provide 4'x8' clear plastic frames that can be placed on the top of each gaming table to display the sponsor's name and slogan. You may even want to encourage your sponsors to provide "gag" gifts that promote their business to be distributed at "their" table. For example, a blackjack table sponsored by a dentist could give away a free toothbrush (with the sponsor's name imprinted) for each blackjack that is dealt.
The price of the sponsorship will vary based on the organization, the size of the party, and the type of table being sponsored. Craps and Roulette tables typically yield a higher price than Blackjack and other gaming tables. For example, Craps and Roulette tables may cost $250 to sponsor while the Blackjack tables may cost $150. Regardless of the price, make sure your sponsors feel valued for their donation because not only are they more likely to attend the event, but getting a similar sponsorship the next year will be much easier. Overall, table sponsorship should cover at least the entire rental cost of the casino equipment and staff.
Drink/Food Sales- This will vary depending on how upscale the event is. Ticket prices and what people are getting for their money will generally determine whether guest's drinks are included in the ticket price or if they need to pay for them. Typically, the more expensive the entrance fees the less likely you are to charge additional for drinks. On "drink inclusive" events a limited bar (beer, wine, soda) is suggested to curb costs. On other events entrance fee usually includes two "drinks tickets" which are typically redeemed at a rate of one ticket for a soft drink and two tickets for wine or beer. Additional drinks require the purchase of more drink tickets.
Silent Auction- Silent auctions are often incorporated into a casino event. They are an excellent opportunity to raise additional money. However, they have their disadvantages. The require additional sponsors to donate auction items, they interrupt the flow of the evening by taking people away from the tables, they require more coordination and organization, and they may make the guest feel "hit up" several times throughout the evening. If you decide to go through with the silent auction, we suggest delegating at least one person whose sole responsibility is to manage the silent auction of the event.
Raffles- Raffles are a great way to raise more money at your event. There are many raffle options to showcase at your event. For example, you can offer mystery boxes, gift cards, gift certificates, lottery tickets, etc. The possibilities are endless. You can even swap a flower centerpiece for a raffle basket.
Live Auction- Live auctions can generate a tremendous amount of revenue. There are several key ingredients to a successful live auction. These key ingredients include maintaining a captive audience by shutting down all other activities during this time, keeping it short (about 30-40 minutes), auctioning less than ten high ticket items, and using a dynamic auctioneer.
Money- Selling additional Casino Special Event money during the event is a great way to generate additional proceeds for your fundraiser. There is no standard price for purchasing additional play money – we leave that to the organizer of the event. Providing a discount for large purchases is a great incentive and will maximize the money you bring in. For instance, if a $5 donation entitles a guest to an additional 200 Special Events Associates, Inc. money, then a $10 donation would entitle a guest to an additional 500 Special Events Associates, Inc. money and a $20 donation gets 1500 Special Events Associates, Inc. money.
Tournament Play- In addition to the tables open for general use during the event, designate one or two Blackjack tables as "tournament" tables. (Poker is another good tournament game.) Players participating in tournament play contribute a donation (e.g. $10) and receive additional casino chips to be used only at that tournament table for a specified period of time. At the end of the tournament, the player with the most chips is declared the tournament winner. There are many variations to tournament play at Casino Parties.
Facility Costs- Invariably, free is the key word here. Attempt to secure a facility at no cost to your event. There are generally several organizations that are open to making their facility available at little or no charge.
Decorations and Props- Often balloons and streamers or ribbon will suffice when decorating the event facility. Always weigh up the cost of any props you are considering using. People are typically not at your event for the decorations. Solicit donations if possible. However, prioritize a table sponsorship donation ahead of a prop donation almost every time.
Casino Equipment Rental- Provide the casino operator with accurate head counts so the appropriate amount of equipment is supplied. Too much equipment on hand results in a bigger expense and having too few tables to accommodate your guests is one of the surest ways to spoil your event.
Beverage Costs- Arrange with your beverage supplier to be able to return all unopened bottles. This way you only have to pay for the beverages you have sold.
Insurance- Some facilities might require a one-night insurance coverage policy for your event, especially if you are not being charged for the venue.
Security- The same applies to security and parking. This will vary with different locations and organizations. Be aware of this possible cost when selecting a location.
Clean Up- Designate a team of volunteers to take care of the facility cleaning.
How many tickets do you expect to sell for this event?
Divide total expenses by the number of tickets you expect to sell. Is this price close to the amount of money you want to raise? Is this price appropriate for the services you are providing? Will this price cost your guests a fortune, or are you underpricing? Depending on your needs, the price calculated may need to be adjusted so that your guests are satisfied and your goal is met.
Have a public address system on hand to announce prizes etc.

Leah, Susan, Theresa, and Jane were all very unhappy ladies who brewed liquor for a living. They were well known by the police who often raided their houses. The police knew they couldn't pay the fines but these corrupt police were only too willing to take the only form of payment the ladies could give and so Leah, Susan, Theresa and Jane got deeper and deeper into the degrading lifestyle of prostitution and brewing. They were all miserable in this lifestyle but could see no light at the end of the tunnel until we asked them if they would like us to help them change their employment. They all grasped at the offer and for the first time in twenty years there was a gleam of hope in their eyes.
They were each given a small gift of money to help them set up in business. Leah and Susan now run a small, what they call a hotel, but what we would call a cafe. They also have a small butchery at the front of the Hotel where they sell one carcass every two days. The hotel is doing very well and is constantly busy. The women start at around six am serving tea and close when the last customer leaves! We were able to visit the hotel where they treated us liked honoured guests, serving us African tea and chapattis.
Theresa is also now a very happy lady. She is running a small kiosk near her home selling groceries and plans to move the business to a busier site in the near future.
Jane has been growing and selling vegetables. She has a plot of land near a river and therefore has water 'on tap' which is essential to her business. She too is very happy as she has been able to afford to move to a better home with her son.
These ladies are completely different people now. Their lives have been transformed, they always have smiles on their faces and in spite of the long hours they work, they look less burdened.

Here's a new video that features sloppy tricks and insanely good videography. My friend Mike Sharkey did all the work while I goofed around. Hope you guys enjoy it. If you're looking for a video with insane skills, go away.
Ps. Sorry about the vertax gen. Mike did this for free and his only request was "do that crazy swirly thing". Couldn't really refuse.
Well, you go and tell Mike that he does some damn good work.
I'm not sure which was more gorgeous -- the camera work or your hirsuteness... As for the tricks: I really enjoyed all the stick-switching/tiny-duicides you threw in there.
The filming, the lighting and the angles made it come to life even more than regular diabolo-videos. The landscapes, backgrounds and the light just seemed to work together so good. Really amazing video, that guy Mike is gonna be big if he keeps on filming.
Wow! I really thoroughly enjoyed that! Very beautiful. I soooo prefer this kind of videos to the insane-skill videos. Loved it!
And Jesse, you've got some pretty cool moves there. Thanks for inspiring me.
I really love this kind of videos the filming and editing its great. there was also good tricks.
i really like the contrast for film!!!!verry good man!!!congratz!!!
I'd say this deserved to make front page news.
Ow yeah! This is sooo beautiful!! I like it a lot!!! Very kewl moves in there!! Details on that kickup please!!
Love the double armpit collect!! Do stuff like that all the time!
Jesse, I need to give you tour in Finland. We got the views.
I'm not going to lie, but I don't think much of it. I felt that I never saw the full trick, the camera was always cutting parts of it out.
Nice to see the creativity in the camera angles!
Your tricks are also great to watch! I really like the stick switch combo at 2:26!
Arjan, I've been working on a lot of kickup/arm pit stuff lately. Shall do a full video with stuff like that later. As I said that was filmed in August when I first started experimenting with those things.
Samuli, I know and to be honest with you I really, really miss Finland.
Ben, that's because you actually never see an entire trick. That was the point of the vid, but I understand if it's not everyones cup of tea.
I felt that I never saw the full trick, the camera was always cutting parts of it out.
I have to agree. I liked it most of the time, but there were a few shots that were over the top, using this filming effect. It's an excellent way to learn from though.


She paled, eyes glued to the vault.
He ate without waiting for her, his eyes either glued to her or the door.
She glued her attention on the doe, which was now licking life into her infant.
Lana hid between the boulders, gaze glued to the area where the laser missiles dropped.
Xander's eyes were glued to his mother.
Eyes glued to Xander, she lost track of him in the shadows and returned her attention to Darian, who was tangling with three more Others.
The experiments with this form were not successful, and, with the view of making the moving parts as light as possible, he substituted for the comparatively heavy lever armature a small piece of clock spring, about the size of a sixpence, glued to the centre of the diaphragm.
Its eggs, which are of the size and shape of a dove's egg, are from fifteen to thirty in number, are deposited in mould or under damp leaves, and are glued together into one mass.
They were built from overlapping strips of American pine, planed smooth and covered with glued canvas.
The shell thus formed is then cut along the line of the intended equator into two hemispheres, they are then again glued together and made to revolve round an axis the ends of which passed through the poles and entered a metal meridian circle.

Lyndsay Zavitz moved to Los Angeles three years ago hoping she would find work as a make-up artist. Today, her clientele includes Chrissy Teigen, Shiva Safai, Marianna Hewitt, Paula Abdul, Pia Toscano, Fifth Harmony, Courtney Lopez, Sazan Hendrix, Joelle Fletcher, Whitney Carson, Kristin Cavallari, Renee Bargh, Rachel Platten, Dorit Kemsley, and many more of Hollywood's biggest names.
But of course, celebrities aren't alone in their quest to look their best. Beauty is a standard we're all trying to reach, and makeup artists along with plastic surgeons and physical trainers are in high demand these days, and not everyone can afford access to these luxuries.
We can't help but wonder, just how confident are these models and celebrities who can?
And it happens often. Many magazines do pick on women's flaws. And almost every major women's publication is promoting some type of beauty or workout regiment. Of course, the images of models are always immaculate. To make matters worse, there are sections of magazine and segments on TV shows dedicated to comparing women to each other, or to criticizing their clothing.
Social media also plays a big part, but to be fair, that's part of what helped Zavitz earn her following and clientele.
Humble as can be, Lyndsay was eager to share tips on how she made it, so that perhaps others who are trying can follow in her footsteps.
First and foremost, you have to have a dream, and a strong work ethic, she says.
"I think staying true to yourself is key, and not comparing yourself to other people. Mentally— you need to have that drive." Zavitz moved to Los Angeles from Canada without a job prospect and without any friends in the city. "It's a dream that I've always had and it's something I've never thought I could achieve—moving to L.A. on my own," she says.
When Zavitz first came to L.A. she reached out to hundreds of makeup artists offering to assist for free even though she had already been a makeup artist for 14 years.
Today, Zavitz teaches her craft around the world, and lends her voice to important social causes (anti-bullying, body positivity, et al.).

A lawyer trying to get tickets to a Broadway show, finally settled for a couple of seats a year in advance. When the exciting night arrived and he sat down in his seat, a woman in front of the lawyer noticed the empty seat next to him and asked why such a valuable commodity was unused. The lawyer replied that his wife couldn't make it. The woman asked him if he didn't have relatives or friends who could have used the seat. He replied, "Oh, they're all at the funeral."

The CIA has three candidates, two men and a woman, for one assassin position. On the final day of testing, the CIA proctor leads the first male candidate to a large steel door and hands him a gun. "We must know that you will follow our instructions, regardless of the circumstances," he explains. "Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her." The man is horrified, "You can't be serious! I could never shoot my wife!" "Well," says the proctor, "you're definitely not the right man for this job then." The CIA proctor leads the second male candidate to another large steel door and hands him a gun. "We must know that you will follow instructions, no matter what the circumstances," the proctor explains. "Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her." The second man steadies himself, takes the gun and enters the room. After three quiet minutes, the man exits the room with tears in his eyes. "I wanted to do it I just couldn't pull the trigger and shoot my wife. I guess I'm not the right man for the job." Finally, the CIA proctor leads the female candidate to yet another large steel door and hands her a gun. "We must be sure that you will follow instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room, you will find your husband sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill him." The woman takes the gun, enters the room, and before the door even closes completely behind her, she's fired off six shots. Then all hell breaks loose behind the door cursing, screaming, crashing. Suddenly, all goes quiet. The door opens slowly, the woman exits, and wiping the sweat from her brow, she says, "Did you guys know the gun was loaded with blanks? I had to beat the son of a bitch to death with the chair!"

Three construction workers are on the seventy-fifth floor of a non-finished building. The italian opens his lunch box to find a pizza and says "Man, if I get pizza one more time I am going to jump off this building and fall to my death!" The chinese opens his lunch box to find rice and says "Man, if I get rice one more time I am going to jump off this building and fall to my death!" The blonde opens his lunch box to find a cheeseburger and says" Man, if I get a cheeseburger one more time im going to jump off this building and fall to my death!" So the next day they all got the same thing and they jumped off the building to their death. That weekend at the funeral, the italian and the chinese wives are crying and saying "I would have fixed him something else for lunch but he never told me." And as the two wives stare at the blondes wife, they both ask why she isn't sad about her husbands death, the blonde replys "Don't look at me, he packs his own lunch."

Hi Bob, This is Alan next door. I have a confession to make. I've been riddled with guilt these past few months and have been trying to pluck up the courage to tell you to your face, but I am at least now telling you in text as I can't live with myself a moment longer without you knowing. The truth is I have been sharing your wife, day and night when you're not around. In fact, probably more than you. I haven't been getting it at home recently, but that's no excuse, I know. The temptation was just too much. I can no longer live with the guilt and I hope you will accept my sincerest apologies and forgive me. It won't happen again. Please suggest a fee for usage, and I'll pay you. Regards, Alan. THE ACTIONS Bob, feeling insulted and betrayed, grabbed his gun, and shot his neighbor head. He returned home where he poured himself a stiff drink and sat down on the sofa. He took out his phone where he saw he has a subsequent message from his neighbor: THE SECOND MESSAGE Hi Bob, This is Alan next door again. Sorry about the typo on my last text. I expect you figured it out anyway, that you noticed that darned Autocorrect changed 'Wi-Fi' To 'Wife'. Technology hey? Regards, Alan.

As a former "educator," I find it humorous that so many educrats argue that we should be emphasizing "critical thinking" skills in our schools and fewer "facts," because, you know, it's kinda hard to critically think if you, like, don't know anything. But the more I listen to the "next generation" spout off about issues the more I find myself agreeing that the ability to critically think is, shall we say, lacking.
"I'm really just hoping that the justices see that access to birth control and reproductive health care is a fundamental human right," said Renee Bracey-Sherman, a student and pro-choice activist. "Bosses shouldn't be able to make a decision based on their personal beliefs to dictate what people have access to."
Now, yes, I recognize that this is someone who is really good at rote memorization. I mean, she flawlessly nails the abortion industry's talking point. No doubt she flies through multiple choice tests.
But ask her for an essay explaining the difference between "access" and "paid for by someone else so you can do what you want without responsibility" and my guess is she'd probably struggle a bit. Or try to get her to explain how in the world it's the bosses responsibility to pay for an employee's birth control or how an employer could possibly deny access to something that one can pick up at the local pharmacy without the boss even knowing (gasp!). Good luck with that.
Now, redefining terms is nothing new for the left. It is how they win. The ability to think notwithstanding, when you can simply change the meaning of words on a whim (or with a really, really awesome PR campaign), you can confuse the heck out of even the most perceptive serf. And now that they've redefined "access" to mean "paid for by someone else so you can do what you want without responsibility," and gotten a generation of students to memorize it without thinking, they can probably redefine just about anything.
