The clutch is of the single, dry plate type consisting of a pressure plate assembly, having three pressure springs, three release levers; and a spring cushioned, faced driving plate mounted on a hardened steel, splined hub. Clutch release is accomplished by moving the release bearing toward the flywheel. The three springs located in the clutch bracket provide the driving pressure, thus, when the foot pressure is removed from the pedal, the springs force the pressure plate forward against the driven plate, gradually and smoothly applying power to the wheels.
As the clutch facings wear, the clearance between the release levers and the release bearing is decreased. The effect on the clutch pedal is to decrease the free travel, which is the distance the pedal moves away from the toe board before the release bearing comes into contact with the release levers. Adjusting the length of the clutch control cable to increase the free travel of the clutch pedal, restores the proper clearance between the release levers and the release bearing. See Fig. 20.
The release bearing and clutch pedal must be in their proper positions. No adjustment of the clutch proper is required to compensate for wear of the facings, but a clearance of approximately 1/8" (3.12 mm.) should be maintained between the release levers Fig. 21, No. 14 and the release bearing No. 7. To obtain this clearance, adjust the length of the clutch control cable No. 18, so that the pedal has 1" (25.40 mm.) free movement from the fully engaged position before any resistance can be felt.
CAUTION: Avoid the practice of resting the foot continuously on the clutch pedal while driving and do not slip the clutch excessively instead of shifting gears. Slipping the clutch causes excessive heat, with the result that the clutch is finally made inoperative.
The transmission is a heavy duty, three speed synchromesh type unit with cane type shift. It is attached to the rear face of the flywheel bell housing and is supported on a rubber insulator at the frame centre cross member wich forms the rear engine support. Shift is smooth and positive through a cane type control lever mounted in a shift housing at the top of the assembly. Poppet balls and springs retain the gears in mesh and an interlock prevents shifting into two gears at one time. Should any trouble be experienced with the transmission assembly, consult your Willys-Overland Dealer.
The transfer case Fig. 23 is an auxiliary unit located at the rear of the transmission. It is essentially a two speed transmission, which provides a low and direct gear, also a means of connecting the drive to the front axle. The shifting mechanism is located on the transfer case for engaging and disengaging the drive to the front axle, also for shifting the gears.
10. Output Clutch Shaft Pilot Bushing.
On hard surface and level roads, disengage the front axle by placing the transfer case shift lever in the forward position. See Fig. 3 in GETTING STARTED. The right hand lever controls the gear ratio; low and high. The low gear can only be engaged when the left hand lever is in the engaged (rear) position for front drive. Proper position for disengaging axles to use the power take-off with the vehicle standing is shown as "N" in Fig. 3 in GETTING STARTED.
Both the transmission and the transfer case are precision built units. No external adjustments are possible and should attention be necessary, it is advisable to consult your Willys-Overland Dealer.
IMPORTANT: Check the units at each lubrication to guard against lubricant leakage. For economy the capacity is small – change the lubricant in accordance with instructions in GENERAL LUBRICATION.
The drive from the transfer case to the front and rear axles is completed through two propeller shafts each equipped with two universal joints. The splined slip joints at the transfer case end of each shaft allows for variations in distance between the transfer case and the axles, due to spring action.
Examine both propeller shafts periodically for foreign matter which may become wrapped around them. Check for dents or a bent shaft and make sure that the universal joints attaching bolts are tight at all times. The universal joints have needle type bearings and are so designed that correct assembly is very simple. No hand fitting or special tools are required. The journal trunnions and needle bearing assemblies are the only parts subject to wear, and when it becomes necessary to replace these parts, the propeller shafts should be removed from the vehicle to facilitate replacement.
When reinstalling, note that the slip joints are marked with arrows, Fig. 24, at the spline and the sleeve yoke. Align the arrows so the yokes of the universal joints at the front and rear of each shaft are in the same plane, when assembled, to avoid vibration. The "U" type attaching bolt nuts should be tightened evenly with approximately the same pressure on each nut.
The front axle is a live driving unit with hypoid drive gears, Fig. 26, and spherical steering knuckles, Fig. 25, containing constant velocity type axle shaft universal joints.
12. Differential Bearing Cone and Rollers.
The differential is mounted in a housing similar to that used in the rear axle, except that the drive pinion shaft is toward the rear of the front and to the right of the centre of the axle. This design allows placing the front propeller shaft along the right side of the engine oil pan without reducing the road clearance under the engine. The axle is of the full floating type and the axle shafts can be removed without dismantling the steering knuckles.
Once each year have your Willys-Overland Dealer remove the front axle universal joint and shaft assemblies to thoroughly wash out the steering knuckle housings and check the shim adjustment of the universal joints. After checking, the universal joint housings must be refilled with good quality lubricant as specified in the LUBRICATION section.
The lubricant is retained in the steering knuckle housings by felt oil seals mounted in twin retainers attached to the inner face of the housings, Fig. 5 in the GETTING STARTED section. These seals also prevent dirt and grit entering the housings. Inspect the seals regularly and replace them promptly if damaged.
Keep the spring loaded air vent or breather, mounted in the center housing cover, free of dirt at all times.
The rear axle is the semi-floating type, Fig. 27. End float of the axle shafts is adjusted by the shims placed between the brake backing plate and the axle flange.
To remove a shaft for reshimming or replacement, first remove the hub cap and bend back the tongues on the shaft lock nut. Use a wheel puller to remove the wheel hub. Remove the bolts holding the brake dust shield, the grease and bearing retainer and the brake assembly. Also remove the shield and retainer. Pull out the shaft, using care not to lose the bearing adjustment shims. Should the end of a broken shaft be inside the axle housing tube, the broken end can usually be removed by making a loop in a piece of wire and working the loop over the end of the shaft using the wire to pull it from the housing. When the shaft is replaced, adjust the bearing with the shims to allow proper end play of the shaft. See "Rear Wheel Bearings" in the SUSPENSION section.

A group of Catholics charged the official Catholic Church in India for harboring caste discrimination as it remained silent over the kidnapping of its low-caste bishop.
According to UCA News, the South India Dalit Catholic Association released a statement last Saturday attacking the official Catholic Church in the country for keeping silent over the case of a Dalit or low-caste Bishop of Cudappa Prasad Gallela.
(Reiters/Danish Siddiqui)A protester attends a rally by hundreds of Christians against attacks on churches nationwide, in Mumbai February 9, 2015.
Officials arrested 14 individuals, including three of the diocese' upper caste priests for the kidnapping and assault of the 54-year-old bishop and his driver Vijay Kumar in April after the bishop denied them personal appointments. The attackers demanded a £50,000 ransom and took away the bishop's ATM cards, silver chain and iPhone. They released the two captives the next day after Bishop Gallela agreed to pay them £20,000.
An estimated 1,500 Catholics, including 10 priests and eight religious sisters, staged a rally in Kadapa on May 16 to protest against the Indian Catholic Church's deafening silence on the case that only reflected an existing caste prejudice even within the Church itself.
The Jesuit Father A.X.J. Bosco, also the adviser to the rally organizers "Citizens Forum for Justice," wrote an open letter addressed to Cardinal Baselios Cleemis, president of India's Catholic Bishops' Conference, to criticize and question the Church's hushed response.
"The sad and criminal event has been published in the media," wrote Fr. Bosco, as reported by Crux "[but] no significant response [from Church leadership] condemning the culprit priests or supporting Gallela has been in the national media."
Fr. Bosco then questioned the Church for their credibility.
"Is the Church leadership afraid of their caste communities; or do they not care about the Dalits even if they happen to be bishops?" he asked.
He also warned that the Church leadership's chosen response would not be left unnoticed by the Dalit Catholics.
"We know that there is caste discrimination in the Church, and it is a great challenge to the Christian Community in India," he said. "The question to ask is — If Jesus were here, what would he have done?"

Appointing an enduring attorney to look after your SMSF while you're overseas
What does your SMSF need to do to remain complying while you are overseas?
In order for your self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) to remain as a complying superannuation fund and receive the associated tax concessions in any given financial year, it needs to remain an Australian superannuation fund throughout that financial year.
To remain an Australian superannuation fund, your SMSF must satisfy the following three residency conditions:
The SMSF must have been established in Australia;
The central management and control of the SMSF must ordinarily be in Australia; and
The SMSF must have either no active members, or other resident members holding at least 50% of the benefits.
Central management and control of the SMSF
The first and third of the above three residency conditions are relatively self-explanatory. However, the second residency condition is a little more complex. It requires the strategic, investment related and main decisions of the SMSF to be ordinarily made in Australia.
If an individual who is a trustee (or a sole director of a company trustee) of a single member SMSF travels overseas for an extended period, this residency condition may not be satisfied. This is likely to result in the SMSF no longer being an Australian super fund, becoming non-complying and potentially being taxed at the highest marginal rate.
To avoid this issue, a trustee (or a sole director of a company trustee) of a single member SMSF who wishes to travel overseas for an extended period should appoint a general and enduring attorney to act in their place. This is allowed by the Self Managed Superannuation Funds Ruling SMSFR 2010/2 which allows any individual who holds an enduring power of attorney in respect of a member of an SMSF to be a trustee of that member's SMSF (or a director of the corporate trustee of that member's SMSF, where applicable).
To appoint an enduring attorney as a trustee of an SMSF or as a director of a company trustee of an SMSF:
A valid General and Enduring Power of Attorney must be executed by the trustee or director;
The trustee or director must resign from their position as trustee or director;
The enduring attorney must consent to act as a trustee or director in the place of the retiring trustee or director; and
In the case of a company trustee, the company trustee must resolve to appoint the retiring director's enduring attorney as a director.
Upon the completion of these steps, any trustee or director (now retired) of a single member SMSF will be free to travel overseas for any period without affecting the Australian superannuation fund status of the SMSF.
If you are heading overseas and want to ensure your SMSF remains complying, call us on 1300 654 590 for a no-obligation chat.

Aluzinc doors are highly recommended as the doors are light weight, very strong, do not fade and require almost no maintenance or up keep – if the door is dirty you can simply hose it down with water.
LHV Garage Doors & Gates has two different suppliers for aluzinc doors, both of whom are the top suppliers and manufacturers in this industry in the Western Cape. Each supplier uses the same aluzinc material but the wood grain finish as well as the style of the raised and fielded panels used for the doors, differs between each supplier.
Supplier A uses double sided gaskets and has anti finger pinch panels.
It is important to note that these are the standard opening sizes for your garage door opening, as a maximum of 100mm still will be added to these sizes to get the standard panel size of the garage door itself. All sectional overhead doors need to overlap, on each side with a minimum of 30mm to a maximum of 50mm, on the inside side walls of the garage. The door should also overlap with 30mm at the top of the garage.
The aluzinc sectional overhead doors are available in either a horizontal slatted or raised and fielded (block) panels. It is however, important to note that if you opt for raised and fielded panels, and your door is not a standard size, you should consult your installer as to whether the blocks will be cut off, either on the sides or at the top of door, in which case, you should probably have a horizontal slatted door installed.
Flip over panel simply means, that when the door is in the closed position, the top panel will still be in a slanted open position, which the motor will then push closed onto the lintel. Therefore, if a flip over panel is installed, a motor is essential to the door closing fully, and in this case, it is recommended that a battery back-up be installed onto the motor.
Aluzinc sectional overhead garage doors have a rubber seal inserted onto the bottom of the garage door, which allows the door to get a complete seal on the bottom floor, preventing far more dust etc, from entering the garage.
All sectional overhead garage doors need to have the tracks, cables and springs regularly sprayed with silicone spray or Q20.
Supplier B installs a rubber seal at the bottom of the door.
The aluzinctip up doors are available in either a horizontal slatted or raised and fielded (block) panels. It is however, important to note that if you opt for raised and fielded panels, and your door is not a standard size, you should consult your installer as to whether the blocks will be cut off, either on the sides or at the top of door, in which case, you should probably have a horizontal slatted door installed.
Aluzinc tip up doors have an exposed visible galvanised steel strip on the edges of the tip up garage door.
Tip up doors should be installed only if your garage is not on the boundary or if there is enough space in your driveway in front of the garage, this is because a tip up door tips up and out of your garage, which means that a car or anything for that matter, cannot be parked directly in front of the garage door.
Tip up garage doors need 200mm head room, from the bottom of the lintel to the bottom of the ceiling or rafters in the garage, for installation. When the aluzinc tip up door is in the open position the garage will lose +/- 100mm from its height.
Single tip up garage doors are installed with a hinge and tension spring mechanism on either side of the garage door. Each hinge contains a needle pin bearing. Double tip up doors should always have two springs attached to each hinge, in order to neutralise the weight of the double door. Both these mechanisms neutralise the weight of the garage door, making it easy to manually move the door up and down.
For a quote on an Aluzinc Garage Door, contact LHV Garage Doors & Gates today!

SPRINGDALE, Ark. —
A community rallied to show their support for a fifth-grader in need.
Sawyer Greenfield went through chemotherapy and had been in remission. But then his cancer returned.
He was feeling down, so his friends, family and classmates surprised him outside his hospital room.
"I want to support him and help him (with) what he's going through right now with that cancer," said Jackson Rodgers, one of Sawyer's friends.
The visit happened outside a children's hospital in Arkansas.

Il cartofilace (dal greco  = carte +  = custode) era un dignitario ecclesiastico bizantino responsabile inizialmente dell'archivio di una diocesi o di un patriarcato e successivamente, dal IX al XV secolo anche direttore del clero, presidente del tribunale, consigliere giuridico e direttore della cancelleria.

Storia
In origine il cartofilace era il direttore degli archivi e della biblioteca del patriarcato di Costantinopoli. La funzione corrispondeva a quella del Chartularius della Chiesa latina. Attorno al IX secolo il cartofilace divenne tuttavia il più importante dignitario del patriarcato di Costantinopoli (1094). Giorgio Codino chiamava "Grande cartofilace" il braccio destro del patriarca. Codino aggiungeva che questo funzionario era non soltanto il custode di tutti i documenti relativi ai diritti ecclesiastici conservati nel "Cartophylacium" (archivio), ma aveva competenza sulle cause matrimoniali ed era il giudice di tutti i procedimenti giudiziari in cui fosse interessato il clero. Il cartofilace pertanto redigeva tutte le sentenze e le decisioni del patriarca, che poi firmava e sigillava; presiedeva il gran consiglio del patriarca e prendeva visione di tutti i procedimenti giudiziari canonici e civili in cui fossero coinvolti membri del clero o religiosi. Quello di Costantinopoli, un diacono che occasionalmente assumeva le funzioni dei presbiteri,  aveva dodici notai sotto lui. Il cardinal Bessarione, che era stato anch'egli cartofilace a Costantinopoli, affermava che il cartofilace corrispondeva al vicario generale e, sebbene fosse un semplice diacono, gli era stata accordata la supremazia sui metropoliti e sui vescovi e aveva la precedenza su tutti eccetto il solo patriarca.

Transcript for Living a Life on Fire
John O'Leary, welcome to BB&T leadership series. We're glad to have you in Winston-Salem. Glad to have you be on our leadership series. And you're going to be speaking to our senior leadership team in just a little bit. So thank you for being here. We really appreciate it.
Kelly, it's an honor. To be part of your team and part of this interview means more than you know. So thank you for the chance.
You're welcome. So in this leadership series, John, what we're trying to do is provide opportunities for our clients, our prospects, to community leaders, to be able to learn more about leadership. We blend this in through the BB&T Leadership Institute, which does a variety of things. And so we look for speakers that have a story to tell that helps people be better leaders. And when I read your book about your life, it just struck me that this is a man that has learned and chosen to deal with obstacles in life. Which is what leaders have—the good leaders figure out how to deal with obstacles.
Not so good leaders let obstacles—
—end their career. So for some people who have not yet read the book, tell us what happened to you.
Yeah, so your question's set up beautifully. I think everyone has a story. It's just usually not the story we're telling the world. And so my story is, I spent decades running from what really my story was. I tried everything in the world to mask what happened to me as a kid.
And what that was, was at age nine, I was burned on 100% of my body. It happened in a garage explosion, Kelly. Nine years old, curious little kid. I wanted to see what might happen if I mixed a little gasoline with just a little bit of flame. Which of course was the poorest idea maybe of my lifetime.
It created a mighty explosion. Split the can in two. And launched me 20 feet against the far side of the garage. Set my world on fire.
Left a little boy with burns on 100% of my body, 87% was third degree. I'm dying. There's no chance of survival. And that's just the first couple of moments of this inflection point, this challenge you referenced.
Yeah, and as I recall from the book, the doctor said you had a 1% chance of living. And I was really struck because at one place you were meeting with a group of people and someone asked you, would you like to do your life over? How would your life be if you could go back and change it? And you said, I wouldn't change it. Tell us about that.
It was a beautiful question that the guy asked. He said, John, if you could go back in time right before the gasoline came out of the can and hit the flame, and you had a chance to blow it out, would you blow it out? And it's pretty easy to say heck yeah, blow on that flame.
Because none of us like adversity. I don't think any of us like challenges. None of us like being burned, literally or figuratively. But the truth is, I am the net result of those challenges. I'm across from you today because of being burned as a kid.
I grew in my faith. I grew in my character. I grew closer to my family. I grew in areas of network that I would have never expanded otherwise. I went to a college that I would not have chosen, where I met a brunette that I would have never met. And now have four children that I would have never been blessed with.
So would I go back in time and do it again? Absolutely not, because in blowing out the bad, you also blow out the good.
Yeah. So my experience has been, frankly sometimes in my own life, in my early journey, and in observing others, most of the time when people encounter obstacles, they give up. But you didn't give up. I recall from the book your mother said to you, John, do you want to live?
Pretty powerful question. Tell us about that.
You know, I don't think any of us as leaders are prepped for the next big explosion. We don't know what storm's coming next. We know it's coming, we just don't know yet what it's going to look like. But I promise all of your followers, the storm is blowing our way.
So my mom gets a call Saturday morning, January 17th, 1987, that her little boy is in a hospital bed. She walks in and nine-year-old John O'Leary's laying there with no clothes, no skin, no chance, I'm dying, I'm in pain, I'm looking up for hope. And I ask her, am I going to die, mom? Am I going to die?
And rather than providing false hope, which I think we leaders love to provide—everything's going to be rosy. Just hang with me for a little bit longer.
She provides truth. Which I think we as leaders are called to provide those around us truth, which is painful. But it also sets all of us free. She took my hand in hers, patted my bald head, looked me in the eyes, Kelly, and said, baby, do you want to die. Do you want to die. It's your choice, not mine.
She's forcing me for the first time in my life to be accountable, which is bold. It's the first step, I think, in leadership. I said, mom, I do not want to die. She said, good, then look at me, take the hand of God. You walk the journey with him. And you fight like you have never fought before.
And on that morning we had no clue what the next morning might look like. Or the third morning may feel like, or the 1st skin graft, or the 23rd skin graft. All we knew on day one, the fight is on. And I think when the storm blows our way, to make that sacred covenant in ourselves and also with our team, that's enough. The fight's on.
And then from there, it strikes me that you walk through life developing what you wrote about in your book. About seven choices that you kind of make them—I don't think you need to necessarily go through them—but pick a couple of the choices that you think are important that our viewers might enjoy hearing about.
So there are seven, and seven's a sacred number. I think it's a big deal, and it's a perfect number, I think, for this story. Because I received that information. I'm not the author of even the book. I'm the recipient of the book. I'm the recipient of great love, and extraordinary leadership from my mom, and my siblings, to my dad, to the doctors, the nurses, the volunteers—so many incredible people.
So a couple of my favorite choices. Number one's accountability. My mom on day one begged me to choose life or death. And I said I don't want to die, I want to live. But when I got home from the hospital, she maybe provided an even more important lesson.
I'm at home, I'm in a wheelchair, my five siblings are around the table with me, and my dad and mom are here, the house has been rebuilt. Potatoes are sitting in front of me. And the only problem was, Kelly, I don't have hands to pick up a fork.
So my favorite sister Amy—I'm sure she's tuning in right now, she watches everything we do—she grabs a fork, picks up potatoes, moves it toward my mouth. And right before the cheesy goodness enters, my mom says, Amy, you drop that fork. If John's hungry, he'll feed himself.
And I remember looking away from the potatoes, and away from my sister Amy, toward my mom thinking, what are you talking about. I can't. I don't have hands, I'm tied in to a wheelchair. I can't do it anymore, mom.
By the end of the evening, she had ruined dinner, Kelly, truly. A plate was flipped. Everybody else was away from that table. A little boy, nine years old—it was supposed to be my party, now I'm crying at it. But by the very end of that evening, I had a fork wedged between my hands, was bringing it toward my mouth, staring with great hostility toward my mom, eating.
On the day I was burned, this is important, she taught me not to die, don't die. But on the day I came home from the hospital, just as importantly, I think she told me to start living. Both are choices we make each day through omission and commission. But ultimately, we choose it. Accountability is important.
That's outstanding. And I can't help but tie in to that a question about you, with your limitations—
—you did what I can't imagine doing, or I can't imagine most people who are viewing this would do. You started a construction company. And you started hammering nails.
I'm a mess. Don't imitate or emulate me in your own journey, find much greater heroes. Like the ones I was lucky enough to bump into in my own journey. But, Kelly, for me, my whole life story was about masking who I really was.
So as a kid, it means playing soccer, playing football-- tackle football-- I'm tough just like everybody else. High school and college, if I'm not really good academically, I'm not really strong athletically. I'm not a playwright. I struggle in public.
What I turned to was drinking. It was the one mask that I could put on and fit in. So that's what I did in college. And then after college, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do when I grew up.
So I figured, why not start my own business. And the only thing I thought maybe I could do was real estate. I became a real estate developer. And with hands that are completely beat down, started swinging that hammer, and hanging drywall, and sheeting roofs, and hanging kitchen cabinets with hands that, I think, others would say are deformed and unable to do anything.
Looking back on it, I think it was my cry as a 23-year-old boy to yell out to the world, look how normal I am. Aren't I normal now. Do you finally believe that I'm normal.
What finally changed me from being in real estate, eventually in to a hospital chaplaincy role for three years, and then eventually in to speaking and writing, was when my mom and dad wrote their own book. My dad has Parkinson's disease, he's one of the great heroes of my life. He wrote a book called Overwhelming Odds, which is about their son John being burned.
It's an unauthorized biography of my life. Well they knew it, they wrote it, they printed it. They printed 100 copies, they've sold 65,000 since, which is a big number out of a garage.
One of the copies was sold to me. And it was the turning point of my life. For the first time ever, 29 years old, I saw my hands differently. I saw my scars differently. I saw the experience differently. I saw my whole life differently. Which freed me to not only change what I did for a living, but more importantly, how I viewed the reflection in the mirror.
So my mom and dad provided one more great gift to me.
Yeah. You know, I think we all have to go through the reality check of what we are and what are we going to become. I know in my own case, I grew up very, very poor. And my dad was an alcoholic. And I had all the reasons why I didn't have to be successful, but I chose to try.
But I must admit, in particularly the early years, I had a lot of fear. I was really afraid that I couldn't come away from where I had been, that I did not want to go back to. I've found for leaders, dealing with fear is a big deal. You had to have been really scared. How did you deal with the fear?
I'll just be super vulnerable. I'm scared right now, man. I have a bank president interviewing me. I don't know what your next question is. When we're done, we're going to walk in front of 120 of your finest leaders. There are butterflies going on right now—fear.
So how do you handle fear, O'Leary? Whether it's speaking to one fella, a friend now, speaking to 120, or speaking to thousands who may check this out later on. Or going through TSA with your chin up. Or coming home and loving four kids the right way. Whatever the fear is.
There are two constant pulls on our motivation in life, and fear is one of them. It's extraordinarily powerful. Fear is a powerful motivator. It's generally what drives us to drink. Your father was probably motivated by fear.
It's generally what drives many business owners. It's what drives many people in sales. It's what drives terrorists. It's what drives media.
But the alternative to it, the one I think we leverage in this family and certainly in this conversation, is love.
And both are powerful motivators. The cool thing is we get to choose. And if you haven't been purposely choosing, you're probably accidentally choosing fear without even knowing it. It's OK.
But the higher calling on your life is to recognize the butterflies for what they are, to push them to the side, and to recognize that we have an opportunity—right now one-on-one, or in a moment with 120—to become better versions of ourselves. And to utilize our life, our experience, our words, for something bigger than ourselves.
There's a quote that I will share with your team, I'll share right now with your followers, and I shared every day in the reflection in the mirror. I think it's done more for my marriage, my faith journey, my speaking, my writing, than anything else. And the quote is, "I love you and there's nothing you can do about it."
It has chased away so much anxiety, so much fear, so much trepidation in my life. It has allowed me to be more bold, more authentic, more vulnerable, more real. Which then, in turn, allows others to be more real, more vulnerable, more sincere back with me. So I love you, there's nothing you can do about it. It works at a bar, I don't encourage you to use it there. But it works at a leadership function, it works with spouses, it works with children, it works in every facet of your life.
By the way, talking about nervous jitters and speaking and all-- I've certainly had nervousness virtually every time I've ever given a speech. And I'm nervous about doing this too. But one of the things we both, I think, would say to leaders is, virtually everybody that I know that is successful gets nervous when they are in important roles and positions.
And I heard one professional speaker say, look, every professional speaker I know of will tell you, if they're honest, that they get nervous. The key is to teach the butterflies to fly in formation. I said that—
That's a cool term.
—kind of makes sense to me. Because frankly, some have said, if you're not a little bit nervous, you're probably not serious enough about it.
You don't care enough about it. But then the love, the fact that you're OK and nobody can change the fact that you're OK, you're doing your best—
—gives me a sense of peace about all of that. So it's a—
I love that. I'll be using that. Teach the butterflies to fly in formation.
Fly in formation, yeah. So related to the fear, again I know in my life, I had times when the fear was so strong, I was really, really close to giving up. I suspect in your journey, you had many times where you just said, it's just easier to give up.
I think all leaders go through that. How did you keep that perseverance to keep going?
So I encourage anyone listening and watching right now to find people bigger and greater than themselves in their own walk. And if you don't have someone in your backyard, or in the office next to you, go to the library. Because they're there waiting for you.
Shut your eyes, and they're there waiting for you again. One of the heroes of my life is a fellow named Viktor Frankl who survives the Holocaust, writes a phenomenal book called Man's Search for Meaning. And in this book, you're going to bump into a quote.
The quote is, "When you know your why, you can endure any how." I'm going to say it again. Because I think sometimes we hear things in life, and then we wait to hear what the guy says next. And then we miss what happened previously. "When you know your why, you can endure any how."
So the why compelled me in the hospital bed to get out. All I really wanted was homecoming. And then later on, John O'Leary day at the ballpark. And then later on, go back to grade school. And then later on, I'm going to walk again, I'm going to be normal again, I'm going to get married someday, I'm going to start my own business, I'm going to be successful in that, I'm going to live to a cause greater than myself.
Today, my why is very, very clear. It is what I was on a red-eye flight to make sure that you and I were able to hang out today. I don't sleep on planes. I don't do well flying, I get anxiety big-time before I fly. So what allows you to get on an airplane. What allows you to teach the butterflies to fly in formation before you go out and speak again.
For me, it's my mission, which is this. Because God demands it, my family deserves it, and the world is starved for it. That has fueled me to move through so many brick walls in life. Fueled me to move past so many insecurities that I have already.
Because I have a strong mission, and it is way bigger than anything I have myself. It's not about me, ultimately. It's about what I can do through my time and talent for those around me.
Yeah, so that ties into exactly, ironically, what I had written down as the next question. And that is, I found that the leaders that are the most effective are the ones that are genuinely, deeply passionate about what they—I mean, we just met. You are clearly passionate. You can read it through your book, you can see it in your eyes, you can see it in your embrace when we meet. Tell me about passion, and how important it is to leadership.
It is leadership in many regards. Leadership has a lot of elements that are part of it. But I think if passion is missing, the rest of it's hollow. So you may be asking yourself, so where do I find my passion?
It ties right back into, Kelly, what we were just chatting about—the purpose. So maybe the next question is, well, where do I find my purpose? I just encourage businesses—because we are made up of individuals. 36,000 at BB&T of individuals that make us who we are.
But also families. I have a family made up of six individuals. I'm individually made up of one. The question we all should ask ourselves is, why do we choose to thrive? Why will we choose to do the next hard thing? Why will we choose to do something better today than we did yesterday? Why, why, why.
And as you continually ask yourself that question, the answer of mission is going to come out of the reason why you do the things that no one else is willing to. And when it comes out in your own walk, in your own life, it's going to light you up. You're going to walk into a room with a little bit more of a skip in your step, and a glitter in your eye.
You're going to be on fire for possibility, and on fire for life. And that's not just a goofy buzzword because your book is called that. It's sincere, it's authentic, and people know it when they see it.
Yeah, exactly. So to me, Webster's should define passion as on fire. To me, cause that's—
The tie.
—it captures it.
So you may not know this, but at BB&T we have a leadership model that we developed 35 years ago. And it's kind of a simple, but powerful concept. And it is that, if you're going to change results, you have to change behaviors. Most people get that. But if you're going to change behaviors on a sustained basis, you have to change beliefs. That is to say, people behave in a manner that is consistent with their beliefs.
So what I've found is that people really, as an effective leader, need to first understand that they can change their mind. They can change their beliefs to move in a direction that may be different from where they came from, or the direction they're going. You clearly adopted certain beliefs, hard core beliefs, that have helped propel you forward. Is that consistent with your concept?
Oh, gosh. I had not heard yours, and it's right on. I think frequently, we view ourselves as almost like in the cockpit of our lives. And there's a lot of other air traffic around us, and it's a mess all the time. And we're looking around, and it seems all scattered.
But then occasionally, we hear a higher voice talking to us, recognizing that it's scattered. That's the belief. That's our higher self, I think, talking to us. Those are the guys in the tower saying, 7432, you're clear for take off.
I think we too frequently give away that call sign to someone else. We don't realize, that's our voice, that's our life, we can tell our beliefs what we think. We can direct them in a charge that matters toward us, and will impact lives because of us. So yeah, I think beliefs absolutely drives us toward action, which drives us toward results.
Yeah, so related to beliefs, another famous author that you and I talked about briefly earlier is Dr. Carol Dweck, who wrote the book called Mindset, which is another one of my favorite books. And Mindset, of course, is all about beliefs. And when we're talking about passion, we're talking about drive, we're talking about commitment—all that is beliefs. And if people can change those beliefs, it gives them hope, doesn't it, for the future. How do you think about that?
So I think right now we're in a very politically charged season. I don't know if you're aware of it, but there's some negativity out there in the marketplace politically.
I noticed that, I noticed that.
There's also some negativity out there in the media. People are buying, and selling, and trading, and voting, strictly right now on fear. We as leaders, though, can come in with a different tune. And I think this is what all great leaders do. They play a different song. They sing a different song.
And then everyone lines up and dances differently because of the song they're playing. We need hope. Hope is not a strategy, but hope is fuel. And I think right now more than ever, we're in a marketplace that is starved for hope. And we as leaders can go out there and provide an awful lot of it to men and women, boys and girls, who are looking for it.
And that's what leaders do, they help provide opportunity, and a sense of prosperity and opportunity, and hope. And that reminds me very much of another good book recently called The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor. I mentioned that he was actually in Winston not long ago.
But he talks about we can choose to be happy. We can choose to change our mind and be happy. And it strikes me that you have to have dealt with that issue. You had so much that anybody could have said, look, you're unhappy, you deserve to be unhappy. But you haven't chosen, I don't think—you appear to me, your book appears to me to be, you've actually found happiness. Tell me about that.
And so I appreciate that. I would encourage folks—the word happiness is used a lot. I would encourage people to pursue joy.
Joy.
Happiness to me is always a fleeting experience. I have four kids. When I give them ice cream, they're happy. Then it melts or it's gone, and they cry. If they're angry at the end of the night, I give them a cell phone, they're happy. Then I come back in five minutes later and I take it away, then they're mad.
So I think really what we're looking for is not just happiness, it's joy. It's this ever present experience within us that we're lit up regardless of what's going on around us. That's something we can choose. All people love to ask victims specifically three questions.
Why me? Poor me. My dad was an alcoholic. I grew up poor. And I know a part of your story, it's a phenomenal story, Kelly. We have a lot of excuses why we could never do anything bigger than that in life. Why me? So that's one way to ask the question.
Alternatively, though, we can ask it like this. Why me? Why was I lucky enough to be born in the biggest, wealthiest country in the history of the world? Why did I have this shining example in my own life of who I did not want to be when I grew up? Mistakes that one other person made that I knew I would never make as I grew up in life? Gosh, I'm blessed. Eyes to see the rising sun, ears to hear those singing birds. Whoo! Why me?
The second question I think we all ask is, who cares? Most people ask it arms crossed, cut off. But we as leaders who are able to breathe life and possibility into experience around us, instead uncross our arms, and say, who cares if it's hard?
Who cares if it's difficult? Who cares if there are hurricanes blowing right now? Who cares if there is wind blowing at us? We are on a mission, our lives matter, we're part of something bigger than ourselves right now, let's get after it.
And then the third question is, what more can I do? And the victim believes the answer to that is nothing. It's a big country, it's a big industry, it's a big company. 36,000 employees, geez, what can one little guy do? But Viktors—and that is a leader in other words—will ask the question instead, what more can I do to ensure tomorrow is even better than today? Because I'm part of this thing.
Yeah, so like you, I like to think differently about happiness, joy. I talk about it in terms of having a sense of peace, a sense of self-esteem, a sense of pride in how you live your life. And I tell people it's like if you're really at a good place, you work really, really hard, you might work 14 hours a day. You go home, you're really, really tired, you lie down in a bed, you take a deep breath and say, this is great. You feel good about myself.
I'm self-enriched. I'm ready to go. You get up the next morning, and you go have another day—all ties into passion—
—as we talked about. But most people in life, unfortunately, don't find that. And one thing I want to maybe get close to closing on, John, is that you made a really important point that I believe deeply. And you said, your life matters. And I think, unfortunately, so many people in life don't realize how important they are. I tell people—I think you referred to this in your book about the butterfly effect—a single butterfly can flap its wings on one side of the earth and create a hurricane.
And I say to people, look, you know for a fact if a little bitty butterfly can do that, your life matters. Your life. And if you had given up, we wouldn't be here today. We wouldn't be impacting, you particularly, hundreds of thousands, millions of people. But how do you share with people that sense of ownership of their life mattering?
So in speaking and writing, I do that by not making it all about myself. You notice on the cover of the book there's not a picture with me and four beautiful kids and a gorgeous wife holding our golden retriever. That's not there. Even if you flip it to the back cover, it's like, well, where's John? He's really not there.
And he's not even in the inside of the book, because the real heroes are who we celebrate. And in speaking, you don't hear a whole lot of Is when I'm holding the microphone. It is about parents, and it's about siblings, and it's about strangers, and announcers, and volunteers, and janitors, and doctors. I provide example after example of ordinary individuals who did something extraordinary, and because of that, I'm here.
And because of that, maybe someone else is still here with us as well. Maybe my favorite example—my doctor's name was [INAUDIBLE]. He used to come into the room every morning—so this is the bigwig—but in line directly behind him rounding was the janitor. The lowliest, minimum wage guy named Lavelle.
Dr. [INAUDIBLE] would bring in Lavelle every morning. He would sit him on the bedside, and Dr. [INAUDIBLE] would say Lavelle, you see this little boy laying here? You. You are keeping him alive.
Because with burn care, it's not the physician that actually saves the child's life. They'll eventually recoat me with new skin. The therapist will eventually stretch my joints and get me to move again. The nurses will do their bandage changes. Everyone has their role.
But without the janitor—this is not just intended as a trite story, it's fact—I get an infection, and I die. The least among us is actually the most important among us. Not only in the hospital, but always, and in all things. The ripple effect, the butterfly effect of our lives is profound. We don't need to know how far the wind goes to believe that it will matter. So start flapping.
Yeah, that's fantastic. So we say at the beginning of our mission statement, we want to make the world a better place to be. I think you kind of have that mission as well. You're well on the way. How do you think about the future in terms of how John O'Leary can continue this great story of changing the world.
Going back to the butterfly effect, the greatest leaders among us of all time very seldom start with armies. They very seldom get seeded with 36,000 employees immediately. It's normally one, then two, then three, and then 36,000.
So I believe in dreaming big, but playing small to get there. And being totally humble about it, hard-working about it, faithful about it. And believing that the little things we do today, will have a profound ripple effect tomorrow.
So how? I hope the book gets out there, I hope it touches lives. We have a media channel that's beginning to grow, I hope that touches lives. I hope speaking continues to influence lives. And I hope the little things we say, the little seeds we plant, will take sprout in someone else's field, and that they will go on and do remarkable things in their lives. I have absolute faith in that.
Yeah, you should have faith in that. It definitely made my day. You're getting ready to make the day for 120 of our top leaders in this company. And through this BB&T leadership series, I am certain you're going to impact hundreds of thousands of people in the not too distant future. And clearly, you will continue to help change the world.
We at BB&T are happy to join you in trying to make the world a better place to be. Thanks, John O'Leary for being with us. Hope you have a blessed day.
Kelly, thank you.

Yalta Conference
Armenia & KarabakhInternationalVideosTehran ConferenceYalta Conference
Haykaram Nahapetyan
The person standing at the far right behind the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in this historic photo taken in Yalta in 1945 is Soviet Aviation Marshal Sergey Khudyakov. At the moment when the picture was taken, very few knew that his real name was a different one. Regarding his non-Slavonic look, he would vaguely refer to some Georgian origins. The life story of one of the best commanders of Soviet aviation is surrounded by mysteries even today. However, when in 1945 Stalin's political police, the NKVD (People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs), arrested him, and five years later shot him, his true name surfaced in the official paperwork of the investigation: Armenak Khanperiants. That's the name that appears in the note from USSR Prosecutor General Rudenko, which was sent to the government of the Soviet Union in the summer of 1954, the year following Stalin's death. Rudenko reported about the illegal detention, torture, and execution of Khanperiants during Stalin's purge. The alleged accusations (membership in the Dashnaksutyun (Armenian Revolutionary Federation) and anti-Soviet activities), which Stalin's court ascribed to Khanperiants to justify his arrest and assassination, in 1954 were described as non-persuasive and invalid. Rudenko requested that "the council of the Ministers of the USSR authorizes the revision of the decision and rehabilitates Khudyakov-Khanperiants posthumously." The proposal was adopted unanimously.'

Khudyakov-Khanperiants was Stalin's chief aviation adviser during the meeting in Yalta with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1945. Some sources report that Roosevelt liked him so much that he gifted him a personal American airplane. It was Khanperiants who initiated and directed the reforms of Soviet aviation during World War II, when the existing standards of the aviation detachments proved to be ineffective. Based on Khudyakov's initiative, Soviet planes were concentrated into mighty aviation armies instead of being dispersed among and attached to ground forces, as it was before.
Why Stalin chose to arrest, torture, and kill one of his best aviation commanders remains unclear up till now. It has been established that Soviet aviation's Armenian commander was born in 1902 in the village of Mets Taglar of Artsakh (then the Nagorno Karabakh Autonomous Oblast). Russian historian Edvard Radzinski described Khudyakov as an exceptional pilot. "A single flight over the unknown area would suffice for Khudyakov for not taking any maps with him for the second flight," said Radzinski in his recent documentary dedicated to Khanperiants.
Armenians also were present in the previous meeting of the Big Three, which happened in Iran's capital of Tehran in 1943. As it is largely known, Nazi Germany was contemplating an attempt against Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill at the time. According to historians, one of the Nazis' options was digging a tunnel from the Armenian cemetery of Tehran to the British Embassy. On November 30, the British PM Winston Churchill was planning to celebrate his birthday at the British embassy. The Nazis hoped to penetrate to the embassy using the tunnel and kill all three leaders.
The person who neutralized the Nazi plans was another Armenian: General Ivan Agayants, who was in charge of the safety regime in Tehran. Fluent in Persian, Turkish, French, and English, he was one of the most decorated officers of the Soviet intelligence of its time. Among others in charge of neutralizing the Nazi plans was Gevorg Vardanian, who would later become a high-ranking officer.
Movie ad for "Tehran 43"
In 1980, the USSR, in cooperation with France and Switzerland produced a fictionalized movie dedicated to the historic days of 1943. Significantly different from the actual course of action, Teheran 1943 attracted incredible attention, becoming one of the top Soviet films watched in Europe. The highly recognizable voice of the French-Armenian singer Charles Aznavour accompanies the scenes depicting the World War II battles in the motion picture. Aznavour's theme, called Une vie d'amour [A Life of Love] was soon released by the French Barclay Records company in three different albums: "Tehran 43," "Autobiographie," and "Une vie d'amour." The song's track was composed by another French-Armenian, Georges Garvarentz, a composer of many notable French movies (e.g. The Thunder of God, The Time of Wolves).

Garvarentz happened to be the husband of Charles Aznavour's sister Aida Aznavourian. The song Une vie d'amour became extremely popular in the USSR and sometimes was even referred to as "the anthem of love."
Several Armenian names appear in the cast of the characters of "Teheran 43," most notably including Armen Dzigarkhanian as one of the key actors of this film.

A Yupik folktale: Once long ago, a man, a woman and their baby lived very well. One day the man went over the hill to hunt. He kept going back and staying longer each time and at last the wife put on a bear skin and followed him. She discovered that he had another wife on the other side of the hill. She was so angered that she attached them and left them lying on the ground. When she got home she rushed into the house and forgot to take off the bearskin and the baby was so frightened by the great angry bear that it turned into a tern and flew out the smoke hole. The mother tried to coax the baby to come to her but it just kept circling. At last the heartbroken bother wandered off and turned into a bear.
If you are out on the tundra and see a tern circling and circling you will know that there is a bear nearby.

When shopping for an e-commerce platform to host your store on, it's always best to compare options instead of choosing the first one you see. Like most people, we do our homework to find something reliable and that fits our standards, right? Having a high rated e-commerce platform is important when it comes to running an online store, but it's also smart to pick one that is right for your business.
BigCommerce is slowly becoming my personal favorite shopping cart. They've added more features to make your e-commerce platform even more powerful. Not only are these new additions wonderful, but they tend to add new features on a regular basis. Two things that they've added to the built-in software that I'm in love with are the Product QuickView and Automatic Product Review Reminders.


In this film, Robert Stack is a disillusioned WWI ace eking out a living as a barnstorming pilot/parachutist during the early 1930s. New Orleans newspaperman Rock Hudson runs across Stack at a two-bit carnival. He becomes fascinated with Stack's fall from grace and latches onto him.
An enduring philosophical strain of proto-feminist endurance in a land that's both made and menaced by its intrepid warriors.
As a purely physical spectacle, the movie is worth anyone's time... that style was substance, or rather that style was philosophy, and he conveys emotions through this mise-en-scène as substantially as through acting, dialogue or plot.
Sirk, known for his rich use of colors, opted to employ black-and-white for The Tarnished Angels -- it was a sound and strategic choice, further amplifying the overcast quality that permeates these characters' lives.
One of Douglas Sirk's masterworks.
Sirk mines sombre poetry from these lives, though a tacked-on happy-ish ending lets him down.
Given limited budget and technology, the airplane races are well staged over a short oval course around the striped pylons.
Set in the Depression era, this tale of daredevils doing air showsand their nomad lifestyle is one of cult director Douglas Sirk's very best films, and also the finest screen adaptation of a William Faulkner novel.
A seething melodrama about a family of daredevil pilots.
There are no featured reviews for The Tarnished Angels at this time.

Mackenzie Rae Marken
Mackenzie, circa 2015; Age-progression to age 16 (circa 2017)
Missing From Schofield, Wisconsin
Classification Endangered Runaway
Height and Weight 5'7, 150 pounds
Clothing/Jewelry Description Possibly black combat boots.
Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Brown hair, brown eyes. Mackenzie may use the last name Doll; this is her mother and stepfather's last name. She has scars on her wrists, arms and legs and she wears eyeglasses with purple frames.
Mackenzie disappeared from Schofield, Wisconsin on October 11, 2015; she was last seen at her home, and vanished during the night of October 10-11. She was a freshman at Mosinee High School at the time of her disappearance. Authorities believe she left of her own accord; she had run away twice before and each time was found with her friends. Since her disappearance, her family and friends haven't heard anything from her.

Beautiful! I wish I was a morning person, lol. I catch more sunsets than sunrises, unfortunately.
This is such a lovely photo. I enjoy all of your photos and your stories, but this one seems like the perfect counterpoint to the national sadness of this week. Thx.
nice to see the sun when it's so dark and rainy here.
We can ask questions???!!!! I didn't know this.
gorgeous! What kind of camera do you use?
That's a magnificent picture; really mind-blowing!
Beautiful photo. Our sun rises "late" because of the tall redwood trees. By the time we see it all the peachy glow is gone. We have great sunsets though!

TEXT – 045 – BACK TO THE FUTURE
Sometimes the road to the future leads through the past. Such was the case for Americans Scott and Brennan Olson, who used an old idea to launch a hot new trend in sports: inline roller skating.
In 1979, these siblings found a pair of antique roller skates while checking out bargains at a used sporting-goods store. The skates they found had four wheels in a single row instead of the traditional parrallel pairs of wheelf in front and back. This single row of wheels intrigued the Olsons. They were avid hockey players, and they immediately noticed the similarity between the inline wheels and the long, single blade found on the bottom of ice skates. Could these unsual skates somehow be used to practice hockey off the ice?
The Olsons set about trying to modify the design of the antique skates that they had found. First they tested out the antique skates to see how well they worked. From those tests, they tried to come up with ways to improve the old design. One improvement involved using special materials to make the skates stronger and easier to steer. The Olsons also added reliable brakes to their inline skates. In 1980, the Olsons founded a company called Rollerblade to make and sell their "new" invention. Sales skyrocketed, and soon millions of people worldwide were "rollerblading", as inline skating was mistakenly called.
At first, inline skating was recreational. People enjoyed skating in parks and on streets, and some even danced on skates at giant roller discos. Today, inline "group skates" are popular all over the world. In cities such as San Francisco, Paris, and Berlin, as many as 20,000 skaters might meet on a free and skate together through the streets. Many people see inline skating as a great way to exercise and socialize.
By the mid-1990s, inline skating had become more than just a recreational sport, It had developed into several competitive sports. One of the most popular, even today, is aggressive skating. This involves performing tricks and jumping over objects such as boxes, ramps and rails. Other kinds of competitive skating include speed skating artistic skating, downhill racing, and skating marathons.
So, what about hockey? Well, the Olsons achieved thier goal. Inline hockey leagues sprang up almost immediately. There are rumors that inline skating may even become part of the Summer Olympics someday.

Home Shiba Inu SHIBA INU (SHIB) Has Increased By 86% Since January Lows – Multi...
SHIBA INU (SHIB) Has Increased By 86% Since January Lows – Multi Coin Analysis
BeInCrypto takes a look at the price movement for seven different cryptocurrencies, including SHIBA INU (SHIB), which is attempting to reclaim a crucial horizontal level.
On Feb 7, BTC broke out from an ascending parallel channel and proceeded to reach a high of $45,821 on Feb 10.
Afterwards, it decreased and fell inside the channel once more on Feb 11.
However, in the period between Feb 12-14, BTC found support in the middle of this channel and initiated another upward movement. It is currently very close to breaking out from the line. If it occurs, this would likely accelerate the rate of increase.
On Feb 7, ETH broke out from a descending resistance line that had previously been in place since Dec 1. Afterwards, it returned to validate it as support on Feb 13 (green icon).
ETH has been moving upwards since and is approaching its Feb highs.
The next closest resistance area is at $3,840. This is a horizontal resistance area and the 0.618 Fib retracement resistance level when measuring the entire downward movement.
Similarly to ETH, XRP had also been falling since Nov. It managed to break out on Feb 4 and has been increasing since.
Initially, XRP was rejected by the 0.382 Fib retracement resistance level at $0.88. However, it is currently gearing up for another breakout attempt.
If successful, the next resistance would be at $0.99. This is both a horizontal resistance area and the 0.5 Fib retracement resistance level.
SHIB has been falling since reaching an all-time high price on Oct 19. The downward movement led to a low of $0.000017 on Jan 24.
SHIB has been increasing since and is currently trading at $0.00032. This is a very important area, since previously it had acted as support since Dec. Measuring from the aforementioned Jan lows, SHIB has increased by 86%.
Therefore, its reclaim would be a very bullish development.
If successful, the next closest resistance area would be at $0.000052. This is the 0.5 Fib retracement resistance level and a horizontal resistance area.
CAKE has been decreasing inside a descending parallel channel since Aug 2020. The downward movement led to an all-time low price of $6.81 on Jan 22. The low served to validate the support line of the channel.
CAKE has been increasing since, but is still trading in the lower portion of the channel. It has to reclaim its midline in order for the possibility of a breakout to become more likely.
TWT has been following a descending resistance line since Nov 2021. While doing so, it fell to a low of $0.45 on Jan 24.
However, TWT bounced afterwards, validating the $0.55 area as support. Currently, it is making another attempt at breaking out from the descending resistance line.
Doing so could greatly accelerate the rate of increase.
BNB has also been following a descending resistance line since Dec. However, it has yet to break out from it. More recently, it was rejected by the line on Feb 13 (red icon). However, it is in the process of breaking out once more.
Until it manages to break out, the trend cannot be considered bullish.
The next closest resistance area is at $495.

Ash Ketchum Finally Becomes the World's Greatest Pokémon Trainer
Took him long enough.
byRebekah Valentine
Posted Nov. 11, 2022, 4 p.m.
After 25 years, perpetual 10-year-old Ash Ketchum has finally become the world's greatest Pokémon trainer.
Ash's big moment took place in the latest episode of Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series, which premiered today in Japan. In it, Ash's Pikachu defeats a Charizard belonging to Leon, who video game fans will remember as the champion of Pokémon Sword and Shield's Galar region.
Their battle was the final bout in the Pokémon World Coronation Series Masters Eight Tournament, which pits champions from across multiple regions against one another, including Cynthia, Iris, Steven, and Lance. By defeating Leon, Ash effectively proved himself the strongest of all the Pokémon League Champions, thus completing the dream he first set out to accomplish when he left Pallet Town in episode one of the original 1997 series.
This is an especially big deal for Ash, who historically has had a tough run in tournaments like this. In fact, until 2019, he'd never managed to become a Pokémon League Champion in any of his attempts - a losing streak that ended when he defeated Gladion in the Manalo Conference and became Alola's Champion.
Prior to that, though, Ash suffered championship loss after loss, all the way back to his initial run in the Indigo League arc where he only placed in the top 16.
What's next for our hero, then? Well, with a new Pokémon game coming out next week, we're sure to see Ash eventually make his way to the Paldea region and challenge that league. He's also previously expressed desires to, you know, "catch 'em all," but given how far behind he is now that the total number of Pokémon is pushing 1000, this seems an unlikely feat for him to achieve.
Congrats, Ash. You're an inspiration to us all.

Of course, more than half of you won't bother (or are readers of this more sophisticated than the general population?
Did you know there's an election?
With just a few days to go before election day on Thursday I can't help thinking that it doesn't feel much like an election to me.
I'm delighted and flattered to have been re-elected as one of the councillors for Shaftesbury.
With all the media attention on the general election I suspect there are only a couple of hundred who care about the borough elections.
My good intentions look to be dashed, it has been hectic and non-stop since seven.

ANALYSIS ON STATE LEGAL SERVICES AUTHORITY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO TAMILNADU
16 September 2020 0 Comments	♥10Likes
Article 39-A of our Constitution enjoins the state to provide free legal aid to ensure that citizens are not denied opportunities because of poverty or other disabilities. Article 39-A of the Constitution of India, which entered into force on 3.1.1977, orders the state government to provide equal justice and free legal assistance to any citizen suffering from economic or other disabilities. The 1987 Law on Legal Services is essentially aimed at providing free and competent legal services to the weakest sections of society in order to ensure that no citizen is denied the opportunity of obtaining justice because of economic or other handicaps, and organize Lok Adalats to ensure that the functioning of the legal system promotes justice on the basis of equal opportunities. Article 39-A of the constitution empowers each state government to establish a body called the Legal Services Authority for the state to exercise its powers and exercise the functions conferred or assigned to a state authority under the legal services law. The Tamil Nadu State Legal Services Authority is located on the Madras High Court campus, at North Fort Road, in a "SATTA UDAVI MAIYAM " building. The honorable executive president is the administrative head of state authority. District legal service authorities are located in district court buildings in each of the district headquarters. The district judge is the president of the District Legal Services Authority. The 1997 rules of the Tamil Nadu State Legal Services Authority were defined in the exercise of the powers conferred by section 28 of the 1987 Legal Services Authorities Act.
Functions of legal services authority:
National action plan to be executed by the authorities of the State legal services and the calendar of activities.
Providing legal services to the poor and oppressed
Lead Lok Adalats by identifying pending cases before subordinate courts, including High Court cases;
Lead Lok Adalat for the pre-litigation business of banks and other institutions.
Organization of macro and micro legal aid camps in villages to help people obtain essential state services.
Legal literacy programs in schools and colleges to create legal awareness, obedience to the law and spread the philosophy of the rule of law among the younger generation
Village legal aid clinics to be run by paralegals and lawyers
Court-appointed lawyers are hired at Taluk, district and High Court levels to deal with legal aid cases.
Constitution of State Legal Services Authority:-
Section 6 of the Legal Service Authorities Act 1897 deals with the establishment of the state legal service authority. Who declares as follows,
A state authority includes:
The chief judge of the High Court, who will be the chief patron;
An acting or retired Supreme Court judge, appointed by the Governor in consultation with the President of the Supreme Court, who will be the Executive President; and
The number of other members with the experience and qualifications prescribed by the state government, who will be appointed by that government in consultation with the president of the Superior Court of Justice.
Functions of Tamilnadu Legal services authority:
STATE AUTHORITY
At the State Legal Services Authority, three counseling sessions are held regularly. Retired bailiffs preside over the council meeting and deal with parent issues in civil disputes.
DISTRICT AND TALUK LEVELS
All 167 district and Taluk level authorities have received the necessary mediation and counseling. Every working day, a panel lawyer sat in the office of the Taluk district authority or the Legal Services Committee, as the case may be, and did everything in his power to resolve disputes through mediation and conciliation.
WOMEN'S CENTERS
The Authority has opened centers exclusively to deal with women's issues throughout Tamil Nadu and, to date, 52 centers for applied women. In the city of Chennai alone, three centers for developed women. Women lawyers are regularly assigned to these centers to treat the grief of women with compassion.
MEDIATION CENTERS IN REMOTE VILLAGES
In order to further promote the concept of mediation and conciliation, the public authority has also extended its infrastructure to remote villages. Staff members and lawyers for the panel are delegated during the weekends to attend the mediation center which is located either in the panchayat council office or in the block development office in the village concerned. Requests are received from the public address and, if possible, are disposed of on the spot and if immediate redress is not possible, requests are presented to the nearest legal aid committee and are being processed.

Guidelines for the operation of legal aid clinics:
The Legal Aid Clinic may be open in law schools, in court premises if possible, in the premises of legal services authorities and in any other location that the state legal service authority may consider appropriate.
District authorities or High Court committees can submit the sanction proposal and the opening of the legal aid clinic to the State Legal Services Authority.
Non-governmental organizations, public charities, etc. may submit proposals directly to the State Legal Services Authority.
Depending on the requirements, at least one law student studying in the final year and a lawyer can be in charge of managing the clinic. If the legal aid clinic is run and operated by law schools, the services of law teachers can be used in place of a lawyer. If the clinic is run by NGOs, it may not be necessary to have a law student in the clinic.
The legal aid clinic must have at least a waiting room and a booth for meeting students, lawyers and people who need legal advice or information on the legal aspect.
In the legal aid clinic, the law student and the lawyer can deal with different people at the same time. It is from this perspective that the law student will have the chance to learn and to have access to the elderly if necessary.
Legal colleges can be sued to open, manage and operate legal aid clinics. Such a proposal can also be submitted by NGOs, public trusts, etc.
Initially, the clinic can be open on working days with the exception of holidays from 2 p.m. at 18 o'clock. And schedules can be extended as needed.
If a law school is authorized to operate a legal aid clinic, after completing the period of a calendar year after being certified by the director of the law school that the clinic has been operated continuously for a period of 'a year, a subsidy of Rs. 20,000 can be sanctioned by the State Legal Services Authority to such a law college, for the work carried out the previous year. If the legal aid clinic is managed by NGOs, etc., in the same way, a grant of Rs. 10,000 may be sanctioned after receipt of their request. Costs of infrastructure, furniture, electricity, etc. must be supported by the college or institution that manages the legal aid clinic.
Each authority that manages a legal aid clinic must prepare a panel of lawyers who can be studied at work in the clinic for a minimum of 4 hours. Law students may be sent by law schools under the signature of the college director. The legal services authority will pay Rs. 400 to the lawyer for each 4 hours of work in the legal aid clinic and the law student will be paid Rs.200 accordingly.
Each legal aid clinic must maintain a register of people who visit the legal aid clinic and who have received help in the format prescribed by the State Legal Services Authority.
The State Legal Service Authority or the District Legal Service Authority in the jurisdiction consulted by the Legal Aid Clinic is directed to the right to visit, verify and observe the operation of the Clinic juridical help.
STATISTICS OF SERVICE RENDERED BY TAMILNADU STATE LEGAL SERVICES AUTHORITY:

Lawyers appointed by state legal services to provide legal assistance which must be adequately paid for by the government. This encourages lawyers and also improves the quality of legal aid provided. The High Court can set up a pool of lawyers to provide legal assistance and give them a monthly salary as it is given to a bailiff. He can organize examinations and interviews for the selection of these lawyers. This ensures that only well qualified lawyers are selected from the pool. So lawyers will not have to worry about providing legal aid since they have gotten a monthly income from the states, but it will also help improve the quality. Legal awareness is a task that requires maximum attention. The authorities could offer internships to students of law or the humanities and entrust them with legal awareness-raising tasks. Each district legal service authority should visit all jurisdictional schools and educate students about different laws. The authorities wish to adopt innovative techniques such as the projection of documentary films, the installation of street plays in villages, blocks, etc. to promote awareness.
