Herman Cain's Position On TARP Not Good! Very Disappointing!
TARP, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) is a program of the United States government to purchase assets and equity from financial institutions to strengthen its financial sector that was signed into law by U.S. President George W. Bush on October 3, 2008. It was a component of the government's measures in 2008 to address the subprime mortgage crisis.
Herman Cain's position on TARP:
On October 20, 2008, Herman Cain wrote, in an article in North Star Writers Group's
Far from Nationalization, Purchase of Bank Stocks Is a Win-Win for Taxpayers
Earth to taxpayers! Owning stocks in banks is not nationalization of the banking industry. It's trying to solve a problem.
The unprecedented financial crisis has caused the Treasury of the United States to take unprecedented measures to help solve the problem of frozen credit and cash flow for U.S. businesses.
Most of us had dreams of what we wanted to be when we grew up as children. Some of us wanted to grow up and become a fireman, a policeman, a doctor, a nurse, a lawyer, a teacher, an actor, an engineer, a writer, a dancer, a chef or any number of other professions.
But some of us wanted to own a bank because that's where the money is!
Wake up people! Owning a part of the major banks in America is not a bad thing. We could make a profit while solving a problem.
But the mainstream media and the free market purists want you to believe that this is the end of capitalism as we know it. It is not for several reasons that they have conveniently not explained.
First, instead of buying toxic mortgage-related assets of banks as originally proposed, the Treasury has changed tactics and will buy equity positions called preferred stocks, which gives us as taxpayers an ownership stake in their success for a limited period of time.
Preferred stock means we get paid a dividend before any other stockholders get paid a dividend when they make a profit. You got a problem with that?
Second, the purchase agreement between the Treasury and the participating banks has an incentive for the banks to re-purchase the stock back from the Treasury within five years.
If the banks do not re-purchase the stock in five years then we get a bigger dividend until they do re-purchase the stock. That's a good deal!
The free market purists' objection to this is that it smacks at government control of the banking industry, which is called nationalization. They are correct. It smacks, but it is not nationalization because that would require the government to own at least 51 percent of the entity for an indefinite period of time.
The ownership by the taxpayers is going to be relatively small and nowhere near the amount needed to be called nationalization. So what's the problem?
The problem is economic illiteracy and media incompetence. Some people want to continue to fan the flames of anger and outrage over how we got into this mess in the first place. Anger and outrage will not solve the problem.
Unprecedented problems require unprecedented solutions. The actions by the Treasury are a win-win for the taxpayer. But the mainstream media does not get brownie points for reporting win-win solutions for the taxpayers. Their focus is doom and gloom.
These actions by the Treasury, the Federal Reserve Bank and the actions by the Federal Depositors Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are all intended to help solve an unprecedented financial crisis. Unlike steps taken prior to and during the Great Depression, these actions have a high probability of success.
In order for these collective actions to work, the media needs to calm its crisis rhetoric, and Congress needs to just shut up with its political rhetoric.
Now don't tell Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, but if this works, and I believe it will, the Bush Administration will have gotten this one right.
As we say in the South, y'all hush!
Cain's TARP talk, praise of the Fed could hurt him with conservative voters
Businessman Herman Cain has shot to the top of the polls with support from Tea Party members, but his backing of the Troubled Asset Relief Program and opposition to auditing the Federal Reserve could hurt him with those same voters.
Levi Russell, the spokesman for the fiscally conservative group Americans for Prosperity, said that Cain will have to explain his stances on these issues if he is to remain a first-tier candidate.
"Among the Tea Party audience, the TARP bailout is something they're adamantly against, and they're going to absolutely need to hear more from him on this issue to be comfortable with him," said Russell. "I don't know one Tea Party activist who'd say it's a bad idea to audit the Fed, that's not a popular position for him to be staking out."
Cain served as chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve in the mid-1990s and, in Tuesday's debate, expressed his admiration for former Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan.
"The way Alan Greenspan oversaw the Fed and the way he coordinated with all of the Federal Reserve banks, I think that it worked fine back in the early 1990s," Cain said.
Cain's praise of Greenspan drew a sharp rebuke from Paul, who called the former chairman a "disaster" — to loud cheers from the audience.
At another point, Paul quoted Cain as calling those who wanted to audit the Fed "ignorant." Cain said he was being misquoted, but that quote has been unearthed and verified.
"I think it is going to hurt him," Ivers said. "He's contradicting himself, he's making false claims to say there's nothing to learn and it's going to hurt him in Iowa."
Craig Robinson, a former Iowa Republican Party political director who now runs the influential conservative news website The Iowa Republican, agreed that those issues could hurt Cain.
"Just like Rick Perry was vetted through these debates, Cain will be vetted through his debate performances and what he said in news interviews," he said. "Some of the things he said, especially the Greenspan stuff, is really out of line with the Tea Party movement, and at some point that will come home to roost."
Sharing informaion on Cain so we know as much about him as possible.

As Herman Cain was on one of the Federal Reserve Bank boards he is offering a professional opinion with a quantifiable monetary value.
Only Dr. Ron Paul comes close to having his background knowledge and frankly is not as concerned with making things work as Herman Cain. When those two disagree and go deep to argue it is like watching submarine races but when they both are in full agreement that something is wrong we should fully trust them.

Avitar, thanks for your input.

TARP is a done deal and was only a band aid. Nothing can be done about it now. I wish people would talk up the root cause of the problem to solve, which is the CRA, freddy and fanny (and a few more complex things). They all need to be abolished. What the government has done to address the first great depression of the 21st centary is not a cure while CRA/F/F all float merrily along as if nothing had ever happened.

Is there a date (before 29 Mar 2019) when a hard Brexit is inevitable?
Obviously, if there is no agreement between the UK and the EU on 29 Mar 2019 then a no deal Brexit will occur.
It is my understanding that any agreement (or article 50 withdrawal) that is negotiated will need approval by both the EU states and the European Parliament. If this is correct how long will this process take and therefore what is the last possible date that a deal can be made?
united-kingdom european-union brexit europe

Jeremy FrenchJeremy French
Not sure in general, but note that both sides could agree to an extension so even 29 Mar is a questionable drop dead date. – Eremi Jun 26 '18 at 17:10
I believe the UK leaving on 29 Mar is now UK law (or will be after Royal assent), so this would need to be changed which could also take a while. – Jeremy French Jun 26 '18 at 17:41
@JeremyFrench while it's politically unlikely, it wouldn't take very long to rush a bill through to change UK law on the date. But that would only allow the UK to ask the rest of the EU for an extension. Under article 50, the other countries must agree to it unanimously. – phoog Jun 28 '18 at 6:31
@phoog So if everyone agrees that leaving on March 29th is a bad idea, they could have a vote on March 27th in the UK, then the EU calls in everyone for a vote on March 28th. – gnasher729 Jun 30 '18 at 15:26
@gnasher729 I'm not sure about EU processes. It might be possible for unanimous agreement to be established through e-mail or by phone. The timeline you contemplate is obviously improbable, but it is possible in theory. – phoog Jun 30 '18 at 19:12
There is no fixed date.
The article 50 process allows for 2 years for the parties to make arrangements for leaving. It allows for the parties to agree to extend this period (The UK government has said that it will not ask for any extension). The parties have also agreed on an implementation/transition period, so some aspects of leaving can be deferred until then.
There would need for a certain amount of time for the parties to ratify any agreement that is made, probably several months, depending on how complex the agreement is. But there is no fixed deadline.
I would note that the first round of negotiation committed the United Kingdom to "maintain full alignment with those rules of the Internal Market and the Customs Union which, now or in the future, support North-South cooperation, the all-island economy and the protection of the 1998 Agreement." In the case that no other agreement is reached, the exit must be "soft" at least in this aspect.
James KJames K
I like your answer, but I thought the commitments made in the first round were only applicable if there is a full agreement. I am not sure how there can be a 'soft' agreement if nothing is agreed? – Jeremy French Jun 26 '18 at 17:39
@JeremyFrench the commitments in the first round are the fallback if no full agreement is reached. They are binding. – Josef Jul 11 '18 at 13:14
There is no inevitable date because Article 50 could always be cancelled or the negotiation extended, with mutual agreement from the EU.
However, assuming that the UK wants to stick to the March 29th 2019 date, an agreement needs to be in place by October 2018. The EU and UK will need the remaining time to agree and ratify the deal, if any. If nothing can be agreed by then, then there won't be sufficient time to agree anything.
Having said that, the UK looks likely to agree to certain measures such as the "backstop" for the Irish Border. The divorce will would likely stand too, because defaulting on it would damage the UK's credit rating. As such the hardest possible Brexit looks unlikely now, but a very hard and damaging one is still possible.
useruser
Thanks for this, would the October deadline also stand for requesting a cancellation or extension of article 50? – Jeremy French Jun 27 '18 at 8:42
Interesting question. Since there is no formal procedure to cancel and it has never been done before it's impossible to say for sure, but I think it's very likely that the EU would be able to agree to it fairly quickly. Probably with some agreement that it isn't triggered again any time soon. As for extension I probably depends if the EU members think that it would result in an eventual deal, or if it is just prolonging the inevitable crash. – user Jun 27 '18 at 10:20
I don't think anything is required to be in place in October 2018, it's just the realisation "if we don't have things in place in October, then we are in trouble when March comes". – gnasher729 Jun 30 '18 at 15:28
If there is no agreement by October 2018 then I don't think the EU will allow itself to be forced into a quick decision unless that decision is either cancel Brexit or take an existing off-the-shelf deal like staying in the EEA and customs union. – user Jun 30 '18 at 16:15
What's special about October? Is the remaining time required to get an agreement approved, so a December agreement couldn't be? Or is it just a ballpark "this is when things look bad" marker? – Bobson Aug 16 '18 at 5:43

How to Name Your Group Fitness Class
Words have weight: Don't sacrifice clarity for the sake of creativity.

Member Exclusive Content

"Butts 'n' Guts," "Lift Like a Girl," "Awesome Abs" and "Full-Body Toning" are just a few class titles you're likely to find on group fitness schedules. While catchy and commonly used, these names may be problematic. A group fitness class title is its calling card; it attracts participants by previewing or hinting at the class experience. It also sets expectations for how people feel about themselves, their bodies and fitness standards in general.
When do names become a problem? When they reference gender stereotypes or negative body image perceptions or when exercise physiology principles are misrepresented.
When you're a program manager or fitness facility/studio owner, it's important to consider what messages you're sending with your marketing copy. If you understand the power of words, you can help to create a more inclusive exercise space while also validating and educating your clientele.
Ready for Change
It's an exciting time in the fitness and wellness industry. Consumers are demanding more inclusive, body-positive and self-affirming programs, and business owners have an opportunity to deliver by highlighting and supporting the uniqueness of each client. How? By addressing clients' abilities, goals, fitness levels and identities. This is mainly achieved through marketing, program planning and daily interactions, both in-person and virtual.
The larger message is made up of many small pieces of information delivered through different channels. While a program or class title may seem insignificant, in reality it complements the overall message. Group fitness class titles have not always met the changing needs of participants—and, without change, your business may be left behind.

Problem and Solution for Your Group Fitness Class
Generally speaking, long-standing program titles typically focus on a combination of fun and experience. These naming conventions are frivolous, use alliteration and are easy to remember. The challenge with naming solely in this style, however, is that the focus is primarily on the title's "fun factor" and less on its broad message.
For example, "Awesome Abs" may label a core-strengthening class, but it supports the incorrect notion that the abdominals are the only core muscles, and that by doing abdominal strengthening work, it will result in a stereotypical look. The are two issues with this:
It misrepresents anatomy and exercise physiology principles.
It suggests a specific set of body image standards for participants.
"Lift Like a Girl," which seems to suggest a strength training class for those who identify as female, attempts to flip an outdated stereotype on its head. There are issues with this title, too:
The term "girl" can come across as condescending.
The name may discourage participation by men or those who are gender nonbinary.
While gender-specific programming may have benefits, it can lead to assumptions about the experience or knowledge of particular groups. For example, "Lift Like a Girl" suggests women are less likely to know how to lift weights, compared with men. Removing the gender element in this class name would allow anyone with a similar knowledge base to be included.
"Full-Body Toning" implies the class will focus on total-body strength training. The issue here is that it misrepresents anatomy and exercise physiology principles, as "toning" is not a physiological action, but rather a consumer-driven understanding. It may seem harmless, but it fosters outmoded concepts that aren't conducive to the industry's growth or the participant's education.

What Can Program Directors Do?
When naming a class or a program, think of your unique community and keep exercise physiology principles in mind. Be accurate and try to educate participants. Below are a few tips to guide you.
Class Components
Lead with the type of exercise—stretching, body-weight functional training, sport-specific or Pilates, for example. This should be the priority, because it clearly lets participants know what style of movement they can expect.
The Group Fitness Class Experience
Emphasize how you want participants to feel while they are taking the class and also when they exit. Remember: Not everyone wants to "burn" or "blast" something, so be mindful and inclusive.
Exercise Intensity
Convey the exercise intensity. This may be the most important part of the naming process, because it empowers participants to self-select the perfect experience. Guiding people to the correct intensity level helps to ensure adherence and self-efficacy. Try something as simple as a numerical system to indicate intensity, or use more direct language, such as "low," "medium" or "high" intensity.
Required Skill Set
Consider what knowledge participants will need to attend or fully participate in the class, and include that in the title. This removes gender stereotypes. Focus on including newcomers, those looking for a balance challenge, etc.
No Body Image Connotations
Remember that all bodies respond differently to exercise. Some titles insinuate that taking a class will result in a specific body type, which perpetuates stereotypes and the myth that a body must look a certain way to be healthy or fit. This approach is also misleading in that it suggests exercise must always lead to a body shift or change, usually weight loss. Instead, focus on the enjoyment of movement and on health outcomes.
Ways to Include Creativity and Personality in Your Group Fitness Class
You can still be creative and get your point across! Your marketing can include fun, accuracy and inclusion. Be intentional about your messaging and allow your mission, goals and values to guide you. Consider using your business name, themes, taglines or mascot to bring the focus back to what you offer as a business, while also connecting to the community. Think about your local area. Are there any town, city or state landmarks that connect to your mission? Use local elements to unify your participants around something they all share or appreciate.
Samples to Consider
Here are some examples of group fitness class titles that combine clarity with a dose of creativity:
Learn to Lift I and II
Redhawk Fit (using a local mascot in a title)
Snow Strong (a winter sports conditioning class created by FuelHouse Gym in Seattle)
Core Training 101
When you take the time to put thoughtful energy into how you name your group fitness classes, you recommit to connecting with participants and providing care to your community. This goes beyond the everyday interactions of the class experience. Remember, it doesn't matter how cool or clever a class title is—that's not what gets people to attend or stay. Rather, it's what they experience during class that truly matters. What's more, choosing misleading or unclear titles could affect your business growth. Move beyond the cool factor and consider the power of a title. When you pay attention to how you phrase titles, you can ensure that the message you convey is one of care, inclusion and validation.

Before you go out looking for Jacksonville home insurance, you need to know what it is in the first place. This will enable you to identify some of the better packages presented to you. You won't fall for the smooth words of the insurance agent presenting a package to you.
Home insurance is sometimes called hazard insurance and sometimes homeowner's insurance. When doing your research you may see HOI as you read. This is simply an abbreviation used in the US for homeowner's insurance.
Home insurance is an insurance that covers the house that you call home, or the condo or apartment. It isn't made up of one single policy but can be a multitude of policies ranging from liability insurance to personal insurance protections.
Home insurance agents are notorious for being top-notch sales persons. As such they often rely on their smooth talk to convince people to purchase insurance they don't always need. Stay away from insurance agents who try to persuade you to pay premiums you deem too high and out of your budget. If these agents fail to properly explain why you should purchase home insurance that is that expensive, that's another red flag that they aren't really looking out for your best interests, but are simply ticking another 'client' box.
Finding the right Jacksonville home insurance agents to work with can be a nightmare. Fortunately, there is an easier way to go about the process. After doing your due diligence and learning more about the basics of home insurance, the next step you need to do is ask family, friends, co-workers and neighbors if they know of any insurers that are trustworthy and worth the money you will be paying. This will save you countless hours of calling random agents and flipping through the telephone directory.
Now that you have found a reliable Jacksonville home insurance agent with good coverage, they will present you with the policy documents to read and sign. The key word here is to read the actual policy before you sign it. Don't take your home insurance agent's word for it that what you discussed is all in the policy. They may have omitted to mention one or two key points which may be important in the event that disaster strikes. Take it upon yourself to know the policy before you sign it. Your insurance agent cannot be held liable for the fact that you didn't read the policy before signing it. You will be bound by law once you sign that policy, so read up on it first.
Your home insurance needs will probably change every year. It is good practice to review your coverage needs every year to ensure that you are getting the best deal from your Jacksonville home insurance agents.

Tartan Gangs and Paramilitaries is a new oral history of the loyalist backlash of the early 1970s in Northern Ireland. In the violent maelstrom of Belfast in 1971 and 1972 many young members of loyalist youth gangs known as 'Tartans' converged with fledgling paramilitary groups such as the Red Hand Commando, Ulster Volunteer Force and Young Citizen Volunteers. This fresh account focuses on the manner in which the loyalist community in Belfast reacted to an increasingly vicious Provisional IRA campaign and explores the violent role that young loyalist men played in the period from 1970 – 1975. Through the use of unique one-on-one interviews former members of Tartan gangs and loyalist paramilitaries explain what motivated them to cross the Rubicon from gang activity to paramilitaries. The book utilises a wide range of sources such as newspaper articles, loyalist newssheets, coroners' inquest reports and government memorandums to provide the context for a dynamic new study of the emergence of loyalist paramilitarism.


The low temperature psychrometric chamber artificially reproduces the temperature and relative humidity of various climates around the world, from tropical to continental, from dry desert to northern and polar tundra. The temperature can range from -40 to +130°F (-40 to 55°C) and the relative humidity from 10 to 95% R.H.
This psychrometric chamber is used to experimentally study the behavior of systems and components under specific ambient conditions. Primarily intended for testing heat pumps, refrigeration systems, and unitary equipment up to 20 tons (70 kW) of refrigerating capacity, the facility consists of two similar-size adjacent rooms of about 19 by 20 by 18 feet high. The large floor area can accommodate multiple set ups inside each room. A double panel sliding door (shown in figure here) is located next to a gantry crane, which is used to position the testing equipment inside the chamber.
A large amount of support was given by AAON, an Oklahoma manufacturer of heating and cooling products. AAON is well known for their rooftop air conditioning units. The rooms are now part of the regular Thermal Systems Lab tour, with a donated unit available for demonstrations.
Several students that worked with AAON on the psychrometric room design are now employed at AAON's main location.


Ethiopian Prime minister, Abiy Ahmed on Wednesday said his government is committed to mediate Somalia and Somaliland.
Speaking at Jigjiga town during a meeting with the leaders of Ethio-Somali regional state, Abiy underscored that he will work on missions to stabilize horn of African region.
The remarks of the PM comes a month barely after Somaliland leader, and Muse Bihi Abdi visited Addis Ababa following an invitation by the Ethiopian government.THE sides discussed regional peace and integration, in addition to bilateral ties.
"The FGS considers this move a progressive step in the right direction and applauds President Bihi's commitment in this regard," read part of a tweet posted on the official Somali presidency account that time.
According to sources, Somalia and Somaliland are expected to resume talks soon as there are efforts backed European Union countries.
Early this week, delegates from several EU countries visited Hargeisa to meet with Somaliland leader.
The sides discussed the possible dialogue between Somalia and Somaliland and the way forward to start.
The two sides agreed on the continuation of the talks facilitated by Turkey but month later Somaliland rescinded its decision and accused Turkey of supporting Somalia against Somaliland.
It is four years down the line since Somalia, and Somaliland talks brokered by Turkey had collapsed with no tangible progress reached following intransigence by the sides.
Somaliland, a former British protectorate proclaimed independence from the rest of Somalia after the collapse of the central government collapsed in 1991.
Though the federal government is insisting on the unity of Somalia as paramount, the leaders of Somaliland want to secure secession.

Татья́на Ива́новна Ку́рочкина (; ), в девичестве Мацута () — советская и белорусская легкоатлетка, специалистка по бегу с барьерами. Выступала за сборные СССР и Белоруссии по лёгкой атлетике в 1985—2001 годах, обладательница медалей Кубка Европы, многократная победительница и призёрка первенств национального значения, участница двух летних Олимпийских игр.

Биография
Татьяна Мацута родилась 15 сентября 1967 года в городе Гродно Белорусской ССР.

Занималась лёгкой атлетикой в Минске, состояла в добровольном спортивном обществе «Спартак». Проходила подготовку под руководством Анатолия Ивановича Юлина.

Впервые заявила о себе на международном уровне в сезоне 1985 года, когда вошла в состав советской сборной и выступила на юниорском европейском первенстве в Котбусе, где в зачёте бега на 400 метров с барьерами с результатом 57,92 стала четвёртой.

В 1988 году на чемпионате СССР в Таллине выиграла в той же дисциплине серебряную медаль (55,37), уступив на финише только Татьяне Ледовской. Благодаря череде удачных выступлений удостоилась права защищать честь страны на летних Олимпийских играх в Сеуле — здесь в финале с личным рекордом 54,39 пришла к финишу седьмой.

Будучи студенткой, в 1991 году представляла СССР на Универсиаде в Шеффилде, где в финале барьерного бега на 400 метров стала пятой (57,04).

После распада Советского Союза Курочкина осталась действующей спортсменкой и продолжила принимать участие в крупнейших международных стартах в составе белорусской национальной сборной. Так, в 1993 году она отметилась выступлением на чемпионате мира в Штутгарте, где в беге на 400 метров с барьерами сумела дойти до стадии полуфиналов (55,64).

В 1994 году финишировала третьей на Кубке Европы в Бирмингеме (56,02) и пятой на чемпионате Европы в Хельсинки (55,18).

В 1995 году заняла второе место на Кубке Европы в Лилле (55,59), выиграла серебряную медаль в беге на 400 метров на Всемирных военных играх в Риме, тогда как на чемпионате мира в Гётеборге была дисквалифицирована в ходе предварительного забега и не показала никакого результата.

Выполнив олимпийский квалификационный норматив, благополучно прошла отбор на Олимпийские игры 1996 года в Атланте — на предварительном квалификационном этапе бега на 400 метров с барьерами преодолела дистанцию за 57,28 и в следующую стадию соревнований не вышла.

В 1997 году финишировала четвёртой на Кубке Европы в Мюнхене (56,19).

В 1998 году принимала участие в чемпионате Европы в Будапеште, где бежала на 400 метров с барьерами и эстафету 4 × 400 метров.

В 2001 году заняла пятое место на Кубке Европы в Бремене (56,17).

Завершила спортивную карьеру по окончании сезона 2002 года.

Crack-Stix® SMALL 1/4″ Black Permanent Asphalt Crack Filler is the only PERMANENT solution to cracks on the marketplace…and is now offered in a thinner "SMALL" version that is 1/4″ in diameter. It is the same product seen on highways and roads but the only difference is YOU CAN APPLY IT and don't need a 200 gallon melter to do it!
Crack-Stix® in the SMALL version is furnished as a black solid "rope" in 1/4″ thickness. It is an elastomeric, self-leveling sealant, which liquefies quickly and can be used in both asphalt and concrete pavements. When properly applied, it combines tenacious adhesive power with extraordinary resiliency to protect against the infiltration of moisture or incompressibles through repeated thermal cycles of expansion and contraction.
Crack-Stix® exhibit superior low temperature ductility, weather resistance, low oxidation breakdown and is non-tracking. It is the only sealant available which is designed to be inserted into the crack or joint cavity first and then melted with direct heat process. The modifier system contained in Crack-Stix® allows the material to withstand direct heat without experiencing degradation.
Ready to use immediately, melt-away wrapper!
Save time and purchase either our CSX-900 Cane Torch extender our really speed up application with our NEW walk behind CSX-1000 PRO MELT TORCH!
TIP: If you are not using our recommended torch and are using just a handheld torch it can be difficult to keep the torch upright (or it may flame out)…so you may want to find BURNER WAND which will keep the flame running!
For deep cracks or joints, before you begin fill the crack using backer rod, sand or stone dust but leave enough room for product.
Clean it... Take a screwdriver & scratch out all debris from inside the crack, then sweep it clean with a whisk broom. Crack must be dry.
Pack it... uncoil & cut the appropriate size stix & shape/pack into crack with fingertip pressure. Using the screwdriver, press the stix into the crack approximately 1/16" to 1/8" below actual pavement surface level. To achieve a neat overall appearance, do not overfill crack. The material seals In It...Not On It. (*Note: If the crack is not as wide as the ½" Crack-Stix®, we recommend stretching the Crack-Stix® out...you can leave it in the sun for a while to make it easier to stretch. You can also splice it with a razor blade. You can also use a rubber mallet to help form the strip for the pavement cracks & also helped in the "wedging in" effort). If you have VERY narrow crack you may have to heat a knife with your torch so that it splices the Stix like a butter knife!
Melt it... take propane torch & light it. Adjust bright blue part of flame to 1" long. Holding the flame 1-1/2" from the stix, move the flame from side to side in a slow & even motion, heating no more than one foot at a time (melt stick until liquid). Seal cures in 20 minutes & is ready for traffic. For best results use CSX Cane TorchTM 900 as this will save you from bending over (it has a crimped end for a nice tight flame). A torch is recommended versus a heat gun. Note: To save time you can hook up your torch to a propane tank using a Propane Hose assembly kit.
WARNING: Pre-warm asphalt/concrete joint prior to stix application. Cavity must be totally dry to ensure a positive seal. Use extreme caution when heating concrete. ENTRAPPED MOISTURE OR FROST MAY CAUSE CONCRETE TO "POP" OR "SPALL".
Do not apply in wet cracks or where frost, snow or ice is present. Do not apply if the ground temperature is below 40 degrees.
What if the crack is narrower than the Crack-Stix? No problem! You can either splice the Crack-Stix® with a razor blade...or if the Crack-Stix® have been outside in the sun and are warm just stretch them! (Double over for wide cracks).
Prevent water damage to your garage and driveway by filling the gap with Crack-Stix®!
Love this Stuff! After cleaning the cracks I used a butane torch and applied the material in a way similar to soldering. The repair material spread easily as I rotated the burner flame around the crack and the repair rope. Bonding is excellent and should last for many years and is well worth it.
Love this product! Great product! Seals deep within the crack. The fact that it melts before it cures means it seeps into fissures and does a much better job at keeping the moisture out of the asphalt than cold-pressed patch.
It works! This is a unique product. My husband applied it to the cracks in our driveway. It was a bit time consuming, because we have a huge circle driveway with a lot of cracks, but it's not difficult. I believe he liked using the flat edge of a screwdriver to push the product in the cracks before torching them. He then used a sealer sold by Latexite. The driveway looks great and I think will hold up better than the professional jobs for which we have always paid well over $1,000. Lastly, he also used the concrete stix sold by the same manufacturer and those worked, as promised, too.
Finally an excellent asphalt Crack Repair! My driveway is ten year old and significant cracks developed. I filled them with this product a year ago and they have remained sealed. I purchased more of the product and will apply it to the smaller cracks. Applying the material requires patience. After I applied this product I applied their Optimum sealer to the whole driveway and it is impossible to see where the big cracks were that I filled. I am very pleased with it's sealing strength.
Great product! The same stuff a local company used to seal cracks in my driveway. He did a poor job and I needed this stuff to complete his job. Blended very nice with theirs so I recommend this product. If you have a large area I would first get it done by the pros and thereafter use this product to fill in or make repairs. Otherwise great for small to medium repairs.

U.S. Rep. Steil: To chair committee on House Administration
Home » Press Releases » U.S. Rep. Steil: To chair committee on House Administration
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced Congressman Bryan Steil (WI-01) will serve as Chairman of the Committee on House Administration. Steil released a statement following the announcement.
"I am honored to serve as Chairman of the Committee on House Administration," said Steil. "My top priorities on the Committee include ensuring the House is open, secure, and accountable to the American people, and to strengthen Americans trust in our elections. I am grateful to Speaker McCarthy for this appointment. I look forward to working with all of my colleagues to end the dysfunction in Washington."
"From ensuring the Capitol remains open, secure, and operational to safeguarding our federal elections, the House Administration Committee does critical work on behalf of the American people," said Speaker Kevin McCarthy. "To lead this Committee, we need a trusted leader and proven professional with the hands-on-experience required to oversee this important mission and that is why I am proud to select Bryan Steil. Bryan was a key player in reopening the Capitol and has dedicated his time in Congress to developing innovative solutions to help America's workers, small businesses and safeguarding our election systems. I am confident that the American public's faith in the People's House will be restored during Bryan's tenure as Chairman of the Committee on House Administration."
The Committee on House Administration's jurisdiction includes the following:
Federal Election Law: The Committee's jurisdiction over federal elections requires it to consider proposals to amend federal election law and to monitor congressional elections across the United States.
House Operations: The Committee manages the daily operations that keep the House of Representatives running smoothly. The budget authorizes for expenses of House committee, and those for expenses of Members of Congress, are set by the Committee. Additionally, the Committee is responsible for oversight of House officers, including the administrative and technical functions of the House.
Legislative Branch Oversight: The Committee oversees the management of the Library of Congress, Smithsonian Institution, Chief Administrative Officer, Clerk of the House, Sergeant at Arms, House Inspector General, United States Capitol Police, Government Publishing Office, Architect of the Capitol, and the Office of Congressional Accessibility Services.
Capitol Security: The Committee is tasked with securing the Capitol Complex for Members, staff and visitors. The Committee has oversight of the U.S. Capitol Police Board, Capitol Police and the House Sergeant at Arms.
Steil previously served on the Committee on House Administration during the 117th Congress. Most recently, he served as the Ranking Member on the Subcommittee on Elections. In the 116th Congress, he served as the Ranking Chair of the Communications Standards Commission. The Commission is tasked with issuing regulations governing the proper use of all official communications, provides guidance for Member offices, and hears formal complaints against Members of Congress who have allegedly violated the Communication Standards laws or regulations.
In November of 2022, McCarthy tapped Steil to serve on his transition team, tasking him with 'Restoring the People's House.' During the transition to the 118th Congress, Steil has worked with the Committee on House Administration to ensure the Capitol complex could be fully reopened to the American public while ensuring the campus remains safe and secure.

Rodent infestations are on the rise in Quebec: what can be done for your home?
Over the years, an increasing number of rodents have invited themselves into Quebec homes. These mammals' adaptability and reproduction frequency complicate the lives of many homeowners and tenants.
But why is rodent infestation on the rise in the province? Discover some answers in this article.
With a very strong survival instinct and unrivaled adaptability, rodents have all the means for survival, even in a hostile environment. To ensure the sustainability of their offspring, these small mammals also have the ability to very rapidly and frequently reproduce. With an average of 5 to 6 litters per year, each of which can give birth to 5 to 10 pups, it's easy to comprehend how fast these intruders can settle in an area.
However, although Quebec homes are perfect places to live because of the warmth and food reserves they offer, the fact remains that cohabitation with these intruders is not recommended.
An increasing number of homeowners or tenants are having problems with rodent infestations despite their homes never being affected in the past. One of the reasons for this is a change in the urban environment, which is being increasingly developed and inevitably affects these animals' way of life. They must settle in to their new habitat by developing new lifestyle habits that allow them to survive sustainably. This is especially true during winter periods when mice and rats seek shelter and food until the return of higher temperatures.
Moreover, rodents are not the only ones that have seen their habitat change. Marmots, foxes, raccoons and many other species are forced to change their behavior to cope with the changes in Quebec territories. As residential and commercial neighborhoods develop in more wooded areas, these wild animals are forced to take refuge elsewhere to live comfortably.
Coping with the proliferation of rodents is difficult. They have unsurpassed survival instincts and will always find new ways to adapt to their new environment. However, although containing the increase of intruders in our cities is difficult, the fact remains that cohabitation should not be allowed, primarily due to the health risks it entails.
If you are dealing with a rodent infestation, Elite Decontamination can help you get rid of your problem permanently. Contact us today to learn more about the solutions offered by our animal extermination experts.


Moving forward, we will no longer be posting the work outs and whiteboards here. Never fear, you can find all this info on WODTogether.com. We will attach a picture of the whiteboard every night if you need to reference it.

When krsna, the Supreme Lord, was playing like a child of this material world to manifest His eternal pastimes, He used to break the butter pots of His foster mother Yasoda and distribute the contest to His friends. Out of her pure love, mother Yasoda once decided to punish her transcendental son, and she took a rope and threatened to tie up the Lord, who then bowed His head and began to weep just like an ordinary child. This picture of the Lord is adored by pure devotees because they are conscious of the Lord's supreme position.

One of our most important purposes in publishing Back to Godhead Magazine is to teach the chanting of the Hare Krsna mantra. Everyone can easily chant Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare and always be happy. The philosophy of Back to Godhead is that every living being, whether he appears in a black body, white body, yellow body or even in an animal's or tree's body, is an eternal servant of God. All of these different bodies are only different kinds of outward dress. Just as a dramatic actor may appear continually in different costumes, so, although we are pure spirit souls, we appear in different bodies. Our real, joyful life begins as soon as we admit to Our real identity as pure spirit soul, part and parcel of Krsna or God. Anyone who is interested in his real spiritual identity should read Back to Godhead to clarify and perfect his philosophical understanding of himself and God, and also he should chant the Hare Krsna mantra. As he chants Hare Krsna, the entire science of God will be revealed to him. If one seriously chants the Hare Krsna mantra and regularly reads Back to Godhead, he can live peacefully and blissfully in this life, and at the time of death he can go directly to associate with Krsna in the spiritual sky. To promote this blissful reunion between the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krsna and His separated parts and parcels is the main purpose of Back to Godhead.

AGO 84-8.
Case Date: April 30, 1984
Colorado Attorney General Opinions 1984. AGO 84-8. April 30, 1984Department of Law Attorney General Opinion FORMAL OPINION of DUANE WOODARD Attorney General Opinion No. 84-8 AG Alpha No. LA LA AGAMR Mr. Gary Pon Deputy Director Division of Labor 1313 Sherman Street, Room 314 Denver, CO 80203 RE: Whether town marshalls and other officers as referred to in section 31-4-304, C.R.S. (1977) are within the terms "mechanic," "workingman," or "laborer" as used in section 8-13-104, C.R.S. (1973).Dear Mr. Pon: This opinion letter is in response to your request for a formal attorney general opinion received by this office on March 5, 1984, in which you inquired about the interpretation and application of section 8-13-104, C.R.S. (1973). QUESTION PRESENTED AND CONCLUSION Your request for an attorney general's opinion presents the following questions: Do the terms "mechanic," "workingman," or "laborer" as used in section 8-13-104, C.R.S. (1973) include town marshalls and other "town officers" as referenced in section 31-4-304, C.R.S. (1977)? My conclusion is that town marshalls are not within the meaning of "mechanic," "workingman," or "laborer" under section 8-13-104, C.R.S. (1973). However, town officers as referenced in 31-4-304, C.R.S. (1977) may or may not be within the meaning of "mechanic," "workingman," or "laborer" depending upon the particular office and duties of that office. ANALYSIS In applying any statute we are governed by the legislative intent. Stephen v. City and County of Denver, 659 P.2d 666 (Colo. 1983). An unambiguous statute must be given effect according to its plain and obvious meaning and is not subject to the rules of statutory construction. Mattox v. District Court of the Eighteenth Judicial District in and for Arapaphoe County, 198 Colo. 208, 597 P.2d 573 (1979). If section 18-13-104 was subject to construction, as a penal statute, it would have to be narrowly construed. However, the terms "mechanic," "workingman," and "laborer" are clear and unambiguous and are words of common usage. Unless there is a clear indication otherwise, words are normally given their common usage in interpreting statutes. Section 2-4-101, C.R.S. (1980). Webster's Third New International Dictionary defines "laborer" as "one that labors; specif.: a person who does unskilled, physical work for wages sometimes as assistant to a...

Pyramid Closes Berkeley Brewery
July 21, 2015 By Jay Brooks
North American Breweries announced today that effective immediately, they've closed the Pyramid Brewery that's been located in Berkeley, California since 1997. That leaves just the Walnut Creek alehouse remaining in California, after they closed the Sacramento brewpub in 2013.
At Pyramid's website, it offers only the following by way of explanation.
The Pyramid Berkeley Alehouse is now closed.
Thank you so much for your support and patronage over the years! We also want to thank our employees for their dedicated service. Our other locations remain open and available to provide great beers and a wonderful experience. We hope to see you there.
The East Bay Express has a bit more of the story, explaining "Berkeley's Pyramid Alehouse (901 Gilman St.) is now permanently closed, according to a message on the restaurant and brewery's answering machine."
Of course, the story isn't complete without acknowledging that they haven't been brewing at that location since 2013, when the brewers voted to unionize and shortly thereafter the company suspended brewing claiming it was to "fix a quality issue." Which was obvious nonsense, especially now that the closure has gone from temporary to permanent. The original "temporary" period to "fix" the brewery was supposed to be 6-9 months, which meant it should have reopened and brought back the laid-off brewers sometime between March and June of 2014, or a little over one year ago.
This is, at least in part, what happens when breweries become part of larger businesses like equity firms, who only care about profit and bottom lines, and not the businesses themselves. Pyramid is part of North American Breweries (NAB), and was created in 2009 when equity firm KPS Capital Partners (KPS) bought it along with Magic Hat, Portland Brewing, Labatt's USA, Genesee and a couple of other brands. In 2012, KPS sold NAB to Cerveceria Costa Rica, a subsidiary of Florida Ice & Farm Co., for $388 million.
East Bay Express later added this update, apparently from a press release from NAB:
The company decided to close its Berkeley facility in order to prepare the building for sale — "after an extensive evaluation process. "We have made the decision to focus our West Coast production in our Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington locations," said CEO Kris Sirchio.
Frankly, that's about as believable as the celebrity or political figure embroiled in scandal who retires "to spend more time with his family." I'm sorry to see the brewery go, but frankly NAB has become a difficult company with many layers to get through before finding an actual live person who can, or will, answer questions about the company's brands. When Sacramento closed, I spent hours on websites and phones just trying to find someone who would comment or answer questions, and this time I'm not even going to try, given how awful it was last time. One commenter on the EBE piece said, "[w]ord on the street is that another brewery is looking to purchase the property," so perhaps we'll have good news about the location soon.

When I first started working there in the late nineties, they were already experiencing labor issues. When I heard the bs about the "quality concerns" , I knew it was a ruse. I know that any brewery, regardless of quality concerns, could fix the problems them self, or bring in someone. Sorry to see it go. Try Mark House at NAB in New York,or Martin Kelly for the word on what's true.i'm sure Simon Pesch still has some inside info too.
Jos Brouwer says
I was at the Sacramento venue in 2012, at that time I thought it was already an operation without soul. I think Pyramid as a brewery will appear to be a blind alley at the end.
Another example of the damned corporate beancounters f-ing up a good thing (which began with the deterioration of the menu)! I went there a lot for dinner on my way home from work from opening days until I retired. The original menu (which lasted 2-3 yrs) was great; each successive one got progressively worse, tho the pizza remained decent (save for the minis served at happy hour more recently – those sucked). I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned the stories I've heard about the infection that stopped production there (which any astute brewer could have fixed in no more than a week), Also have heard that they would bring servers/bartenders who had NO brewing experience back into the brewery to help out with grunt work.
The good news is that many former "regulars" there moved to Elevation 66 in El Cerrito, which opened Labor Day weekend 2011 & have remained as loyal as I have (I wasn't a weekday regular @ Pyramid; went there only occasionally after I retired). Better is that Sam Adams didn't buy the place (thanks, Brendan for that) – they don't come close to matching the good stuff made up & down the West Coast!
Ed Chainey says
Thanks for the union busting angle in your report, Jay. It puts this whole scenario into perspective. It would be worth know if the Portland and Seattle breweries are union?
Any way, lack of soul is why a lot of breweries retrench.
WA & OR aren't "right to work" (aka "union busting") states – any info from Pyramid employees there would be interesting to read. Further, (per Wikipedia) 3 states in the Midwest adopted rtw laws in the last 3 years – WI this year; IN & MI in 2012 (only ones in the 21st Century). 22 other states have them, most recent of which was enacted in 1985 – in MS, it's built into the state Constitution ratified in 1956.

"Trust in the Lord and do good" - Psalm 37
Collaboration, Open Solutions, and Innovation (COSI) are the key management strategies organizations need to incorporate into their corporate culture in order to continue to succeed in the 21st century. The adoption and application of these management strategies is already evident within many organizations in almost every industry. These strategies are also applicable to one's personal life. These strategies of collaboration, sharing, and 'openness' should have a very familiar ring to most religious organizations.
Industries and businesses throughout the world are being revolutionized through the application of these three unique and powerful management strategies. When combined, these COSI strategies create a robust model for accelerating change, achieving significant operational efficiencies, and improving the quality of products and services provided. This applies to religious organizations and churches as well.
Collaborative development efforts to create innovative solutions, 'open source' software, information technology, and other tools for religious organizations and individuals are well underway. These information technologies and tools are being released under one or more open source licensing arrangements that allow one to acquire and use these tools at little or no cost. This has tremendous potential consequences for individuals and religious organizations around the world facing funding challenges.
The 'Open Way'
The open source way is more than a development model; it defines the characteristics of a culture. The open source way thrives on broad collaboration and shared effort.
The open source way is about possibility. Open source presents a new way to solve old problems. To share ideas and effort.
The open source way opens doors. Open source offers a new perspective. Open, not closed. Collaboration, not isolation.
The open source way multiplies: Knowledge; Effort; Inspiration; Creativity; and Innovation. The impact is exponential.

Fantasy favourites deliver the goods, while a Raiders pair go to the next level. A full wrap of another big weekend of scores in NRL Fantasy.
Round 8 saw an unlikely top-scorer, with Raiders winger Jordan Rapana (92) finishing eight points shy of triple figures with his four-try haul against Wests Tigers. It's been a golden run for the Canberra flyer, who's averaging a staggering 71.7 over his past three starts and is set to continue to rise in value with a break even of -7. Rapana's edge partner Joey Leilua also got in on the action with 83, with the pair proving to be a unique point of difference for those few coaches who have them.
A much more popular buy, Jake Trbojevic, continues to go from strength to strength with a season-high 85 against the Knights, while Sea Eagles teammate Martin Taupau returned to form with 69. Set-and-forget captaincy options Cameron Smith (81) and Jake Friend (82) were fantastic yet again, with the latter showing his score of 107 in Round 7 was no fluke. Friend now sits just $10,000 shy of breaking through the $600,000 barrier, and should have no issues hitting that next week with a relatively low BE.
Paul Gallen (77), Elliott Whitehead (74), and Cameron Munster (73) all hit their best scores of the season to date, while Panthers rookie James Fisher-Harris took full advantage of his extended stint on the park, scoring two tries and making 25 tackles, 145 metres and five tackle breaks on his way to a surprise 72. It remains to be seen what his role will be moving forward, but he is one to monitor. Fellow rookie Ryan Matterson smashed a score of 67 on debut for the Roosters, but is unlikely to feature in first grade for much longer with Mitchell Pearce set to return.
Andrew Fifita (68), Tohu Harris (66), Paul Vaughan (66), Gavin Cooper (66), Ben Hunt (63), Josh Jackson (63), Jack de Belin (62), David Klemmer (61), and Shannon Boyd (60) all passed the 60 mark, and Fantasy favourite Corey Parker delivered a commendable 58 points.
It was a rough night for the Warriors against the Storm on Monday, and two of their more popular Fantasy players. Tui Lolohea was a popular Fantasy buy as a replacement for injured teammate Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, but the new Warriors fullback lasted just 26 minutes before succumbing to injury himself to finish on 1. Tough-as-nails lock Simon Mannering played just over 40 minutes for 30 points, with a shocking face cut forcing him from the field.
Another player likely to be sidelined for a lengthy period is popular cash cow Hymel Hunt (7) who was injured six minutes into the Rabbitohs' contest against the Broncos. Penrith rookie Te Maire Martin (10) was also forced off with injury on Sunday, and with James Segeyaro's return imminent, might not feature for the Panthers in the coming weeks even if fit.
Manly young gun Tom Tbojevic is set to miss six to eight weeks with an ankle injury, while teammate Brett Stewart (hamstring) is also set to miss a couple of weeks, while Knights Jarrod Mullen (hamstring) and Peter Mata'utia (knee) are both set for long stints on the sideline.
It also is unclear at the time of writing how long Souths halfback Adam Reynolds will miss (if any time at all), but his score of 23 hurt a few coaches who drafted him in after some impressive figures in his limited game time in 2016.
Despite Brisbane's big win, James Roberts didn't really hit top gear against his former club with just 25 against Souths. There isn't really too much to worry about if you've got him in your side – he's still averaging just under 40 points per game which is essentially keeper status for a winger/fullback or centre.
Selected in almost 50 per cent of teams, Roosters fullback Latrell Mitchell came crashing back down to earth with 17 against the Dragons on Anzac Day. Following on from his 73 the previous round, Mitchell still managed a try but five errors didn't help his cause. He still has more price rises in him with a BE of 25.


Want to become a better leader? Remember mastery begins with fundamentals and to strengthen your foundation. Click the link to know more!
Have You Mastered the 4 Leadership Fundamentals?
"He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk," began the quote by Nietzsche. Having trained both leaders and those with leadership potential over a number of years, we've designed our very own Leadership Fundamentals Programme or LFP with the overall objective of soaring to new heights in leadership.
Let's take a closer look at the programme's 4 Leadership Fundamentals in turn, what you can do to master them over time, and how and your organisation stand to benefit from your mastery.
Becoming a good leader means being able to build sustainable relationships with peers and teams, understanding their personal behaviours and adapting to different, individual styles.
Writing for the Educause Review, Beth Schaefer notes the importance of regarding your organisation as a community, working toward common goals and sharing the same values as one way to build relationships at work. It's important to define these goals and values clearly so as to be able to guide everyone in the community.
As a leader, you have to want to provide that guidance, and be responsible for seeing that everyone reaches your goals, together. To do this, you'll have to motivate your team and create a trusting and supportive environment as they will need to support and trust you.
As you continue to connect with team members, keep an eye on how the relationships between you, yourself and others or between others on your team can either be maintained or strengthened. This involves recognising individual personalities and capabilities, asking questions that really matter, and really listening to the answers.
This, in turn, means that you, as well as your team, will need good communication skills. Making sure that everyone is on the same page will help improve your group dynamics and teamwork, putting your common values into action and making your organisational goals that much more attainable.
Leaders have to master resilience in dealing with uncertainty and changes at work and beyond.
Research indicates how your ability to lead your team through change hinges on your ability to acknowledge and control your own reactions to a change as it comes. After all, how will you be able to answer the questions and allay any fears that usually come with change, and spur your team to take the necessary action unless you, yourself are mentally prepared to do so?
It is possible to train yourself to gain control of your reactions to change and develop resilience. You can start by taking a moment to take stock of the situation, calming down, and then thinking about what can be done to turn things around. Only then will you be able to provide the appropriate response to the situation.
Cutting yourself a little slack is another way to becoming more resilient, as change is a breeding ground for self-judgment. But while it is important to master yourself before you can lead others, know that even at this stage, you don't have to go at it alone. Reaching out to others on your team helps you develop your resilience as it is also a form of moral support.
Our LFP also focuses on the need to adopt an innovative and experimentation mindset towards tackling tasks and solving problems creatively.
Research by McKinsey & Company reveals that while over 70% of senior executives have said that innovation was one of the top three drivers of their companies' growth, about 65% of them have expressed a lack of confidence in this area. These leaders seemed to doubt their ability to foster innovation, and to find it frustrating to create an innovative corporate culture.
Committing to creating this culture can make it possible, however, to give innovation the place it needs to have at your organisation. Formalise that commitment in writing by including innovation in your management agenda, so that it can be tracked as a key performance indicator.
You can also make the most of the innovative talent that you already have in-house, as many organisations tend to leave this invaluable resource untapped. You can do this by setting systems in place that will empower these innovators to work their magic.
In relation to this, cultivate trust among your teams, which will reassure anyone with an innovative idea that these ideas are important, and encourage the sharing of those ideas. This trust can be far more powerful than any monetary incentive for promoting innovation.
Leaders must likewise be able to manage stakeholders through effective influencing techniques.
In writing for Forbes, Navy SEAL combat veteran, Brent Gleeson highlights the ability to influence others to believe in your mission and your goals as one of the most important aspects of effective leadership. If you can get your team to have that same strong belief you have in your collective ability to succeed, your organisation is well on its way towards success.
Note that influence doesn't entail getting creative with the truth or putting an unrealistic positive spin on things, but convincing your team that your strategy is sound. This can be done by clearly defining the results you need to achieve, and then outlining your plan for achieving them.
Taking off from relationship building, you also need to get to know the stakeholders you need to influence, so as to be able to figure out the best ways for to get them to buy into your strategy. As you get to know them better, you can also get their feedback on the plan which will enable you to improve it.
But demonstrating your credibility is perhaps the most important factor in influencing your team—showing them why they should believe in you and your plan is crucial to convincing them to follow it, and you.
Ask us about our Leadership Fundamentals Programme and get started on becoming a better leader, now.

10 Opening Day Talking Points
10 months ago Dan Clark
If you weren't excited by the happenings on MLB Opening Day 2019, then you're either a homer too obsessed by your own team's loss, or you're just not a true baseball fan…Quite frankly, some of the happenings yesterday were truly remarkable and as baseball fans, we were absolutely spoilt. We were so spoilt in fact, that it's hard for me to choose just 10 talking points from what should be a national holiday. Anyway, here's the 10 I've chosen in no particular order…
The Dodgers Belt Record-Breaking Eight Home Runs
Yes, you read that correctly. The Dodgers smashed an Opening Day record eight home runs against the hapless Diamondbacks pitching staff – most notably former Dodger Zack Greinke. Kiki Hernandez and Joc Pederson each went yard twice as the bombs just kept coming. Perhaps looking to protect the 'pen from the carnage, the Dbacks used just Greinke and Matt Koch, who were tagged for seven and five earned runs respectively in an ugly 12-5 loss.
Scherzer And deGrom Deliver 'The Duel'
As advertised, two of the best pitchers in the world – if not the two best in fact – delivered the pitching duel we all hoped to see on Opening Day. The incredibly reliable Jacob deGrom allowed just five hits through six scoreless innings, striking out 10, while Max Scherzer went 7 2/3, allowing two earned runs while striking out 12. Scherzer will take the tough-luck loss in this NL East battle, however it was still an incredible performance and one which sets him off on the right track in this his 12th big league season.
Tim Beckham Stays Hot With New Team
After a stunning hitting display in the Japan Opening Series last week, former Oriole Tim Beckham stayed hot, lighting up the Red Sox's Chris Sale for two home runs. What's even more incredible, is that Beckham was previously 0-for-15 with nine strikeouts against the man who attacked a shirt with a pair of scissors – talk about snapping a slump. On the season, Beckham owns a 2.060 OPS through three games with three home runs and five RBI. He's sizzling.
Hoskins Upstages Harper With Grand Slam
Bryce Harper's Phillies debut didn't quite go according to plan – going 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts, however his team still notched a really impressive 10-4 win over division rivals, the Braves. The highlight of the day definitely came from Rhys Hoskins in the bottom of the 7th, when the 26-year-old deposited a 1-0, 96mph fastball from Luke Jackson into the left field bleachers to pad the Phillies' 3-run lead. They never looked back from there, and Hoskins, who himself slugged 34 home runs last season, stole the headlines in what proved to be a memorable win.
Zimmermann And Stroman Trade Blows
While the deGrom and Scherzer duel in the Nation's capital was the most tantalizing offering, it was probably in Canada where the day's actual best pitching duel occurred. Through 5 2/3 innings, the Blue Jays' Marcus Stroman had a no-hitter going, while the Tigers' Jordan Zimmermann was perfect through 6 2/3. In the end, the duo would combined for 14 scoreless innings which allowed just three hits combined – an incredible effort which sadly, probably won't steal the headlines ahead of the good outings seen in Washington DC.
Machado And Harper Go 0-for-6 With Four K's
The game's most talked about stars of the offseason took their time to find new homes and when they did, they both had slow starts to their respective Spring Training campaigns. The start to their regular seasons continued in the same vein, with each going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. While the duo started slow, both of their teams recorded Opening Day wins, with the Padres shutting out the Giants 2-0, and the Phillies smashing the Braves 10-4. Ultimately, that's all that matters, right?
Davis' Woes Continue As Orioles Crash Land
Statistically the worst player in all of baseball last season, the pressure is well and truly on Chris Davis to deliver upon the $23 million per season he is earning, and has done for the last three seasons (and will for four more). Despite claims of a new approach, a fresh mind, a new training regime, and a new hitting coach, not much changed in Spring Training with the two-time home run champion hitting just .189 and striking out 19 times in 37 at bats. Sadly, the regular season has started on the worst possible note too, going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts. For a player so reliant upon self-confidence, things really couldn't have gone worse – not to mention Andrew Cashner and the Orioles crashed to a 7-2 loss in The Bronx.
Berrios' K's 10 In Scoreless Gem Against Indians
The AL Central division is a two horse race if ever I've seen one, with the Indians and Twins set to battle it out for bragging rights among three very mediocre teams in the Tigers, Royals, and hapless White Sox (yes, I said it). The Opening Day matchup between Corey Kluber and Jose Berrios didn't disappoint, as the pair allowed just two earned runs and six hits combined through 14 2/3 innings of stellar pitching. It was Berrios though who took the honors, striking out 10 in 7 2/3 scoreless innings, setting the scene for his team to strike first with an impressive 2-0 win.
Reigning Champs, Red Sox, Embarrassed in Seattle
While you all know I cannot stand the Red Sox and have written numerous times recently how I think they're set to regress significantly this season, even I couldn't have predicted the 12-4 thumping they'd receive on Opening Day against a plucky Mariners outfit. Domingo Santana and Tim Beckham had days out, while Chris Sale imploded for seven earned runs in just three innings – much to my delight. After a strong showing in Japan, suddenly the M's are off to a 3-0 start… where can Seattleites buy those World Series tickets from?
Hot Wheels Turner Swipes Three Bags in Nats' Loss
Ok, I get it. You're probably wondering why I've added into my Top 10 an item about base-stealing? Well, it's because it's a dying art of the game and one which a baseball purist like myself absolutely loves. Despite the Nats' 2-0 loss to the Mets, Trea Turner was back swiping bags, taking three in total – all off the Jacob deGrom/Wilson Ramos pairing. The 25-year-old speedster stole 46 bases in 2017 and backed that up with 43 last year – can he finally crack that elusive and magical 50 mark? Let's hope so!

The video for Pusha T's Tyler, The Creator-featuring new single 'Trouble On My Mind' has been unveiled – scroll down and click below to watch it.
The Odd Future leader throws eggs at passers-by as he rides around Los Angeles in the clip, which was filmed shortly after the rapper broke his foot at a gig last month.
As a result of the injury, Tyler also rides a motor scooter and sports crutches and a cast in the clip, before trashing a hotel room with his Star Trak accomplice.
The track is due to feature on Pusha T's new EP 'Fear Of God 2: Let Us Pray', which is set to be released in the US on August 23, according to MTV News.
Last month, Tyler expressed his belief that he'll be dead before he reaches his 40th birthday and caused controversy by appearing to sympathise with the students behind the Columbine High School Massacre in 1999.
Odd Future are scheduled to return to the UK to perform at the Reading And Leeds Festivals next month.
