Two bear markets in a row rarely start with the same causes because most investors are always fighting the last war and are prepared for what took them down last time.
Bear markets make people's brains go haywire like nothing but an extreme bull market.
All investors make mistakes. Even the very best – repeatedly. I make mistakes – lots of them. Some huge ones! I'll make more in the future – I promise. If you think you won't, you're wrong.
Pretty much no long-term investor has been right in their decisions more than about 70 percent of the time.
Capitalism draws it success from change, creative destruction, renewal, the young upstart wiping out the old guard, then becoming the old guard about to be wiped out.
I don't see much merit in poverty.
If you get yourself rich in one of a handful of appropriate ways, you make the world a better place.
I'm a roads scholar. Not a Rhodes Scholar who got money to study at Oxford, but the more important kind – that studies the various roads leading to financial success and failure.
In life there are roads leading to riches and roads not. There's nothing wrong with ones that don't, but if you travel them you'll go where they take you.
Becoming rich usually means doing good and often living an exciting life.
[In 2009] The overwhelming bulk of my wealth goes to John Hopkins Medicine – which in my view helps people after my life through medical research.
You can create change where you're passionate.
People who create their wealth… end up more happy than the few who get lucky getting wealth in ways that can't be planned for. The people who made their own wealth earned it and are confident about themselves relative to their money.
Entrepreneurs change the world two basic ways: Creating something entirely new – filing a product or service hole – or making existing products better, more efficient.
To build to sell, think like a buyer. To build to last, think like an owner.
[On founders of businesses.] Founders are quitters first. If you've got a job, quit. Find a way to sustain yourself and just do it.
The single most important CEO trait is leadership. If you can't lead, you can't be CEO.
[On his father Phil Fisher] Like most Asperger's sufferers, my father spent lots of time alone thinking. He was a great thinker – just didn't feel much. He loved sitting alone thinking – hours on end in solitude! But he was generous with his time with me. He may have been the world's best bedtime storyteller. Every night he told the most marvelous stories until I fell asleep. Action stories he invented with vivid protagonists – superheroes, natural leaders. At the time I couldn't see how they applied to me or why he was telling them.
I firmly believe if we could make everyone really rich the world would be a far better place.
Learn from failures, try again differently, fail, and try again. Your odds keep improving the more you try. And as you improve your odds in life, you become richer naturally.
[In 2009 on leadership.] People often ask why I don't have a private jet. It would demoralize my people if I did. I fly commercial. They love that. When I'm with them I fly coach.
The best way to make them believe is to believe yourself.
A good land baron is daring, but doesn't self-delude.
Pessimism disbelief is a phrase I use to describe the current social trend all over the world to perceive news as either bad news or if it's good news that it's not credible – believable. An example of the pessimism disbelief is the tendency to believe that a) We have to fear a weak economy but we also don't think that attempts to stimulate the economy will work and if they do work they'll probably just turn into inflation anyway which would be bad. That's a perfect example of all news being bad news.
[In June 2010] I believe in a world where there's more upside as you move from pessimism to optimism… [Instead of thinking about 'Melt Downs'] They should actually be thinking about the possibility of 'Melt Ups'.
[In 2011] Many people think gold is a safe haven. Gold actually is a commodity and as a commodity has a very very heavy fluctuation in price over the long term. I'm neither for nor against gold, but when you think about gold's long-term return that return has come out 15% of the total months of gold's existence. The other 85% of the time, gold's actually been a money loser, not a money maker. Therefore when you believe in gold what you really have to believe in is your ability to time it. And once you understand that, if you don't think you're a good timer gold's not safe. If you think you're a good timer, maybe gold is safe… Timing is everything with gold… How good a timer are you?
[In April 2007] Every bull market leads to a bear market.
[On hating annuities in May 2011] What's not to hate?… It go out and buy a $1,000,000 worth of variable annuities, you just put that salesperson's kid through a private college. The commission's that big.
If you like the annuities salesperson that much, just give them the money to put their kid through private school and go invest directly in stocks and bonds, because you're going to end up better off that way. Cause all they're going to do is invest that money in stocks and bonds and they can't give you a higher return truly than the stocks and bonds do.
[On his father Phil Fisher] He thought his father fell apart because he stopped working, and he concluded that if he stopped working, he, too, would fall apart and die… For the rest of his life, work was life itself… He saw life as like a muscle – if you worked it hard, it kept working for you, but if you let it relax, it would weaken (and in his mind would lead to decay and death).
[On his father] Compared to most business successes, he never worked very long hours or all that hard or frantically. Early on, I marveled at how someone could have succeeded as well as he did working as few hours as he did or with as little strenuous effort as he exerted, but it was because of his genius. At times, he was a laser beam and beautiful to behold. You only need a relative few of those times in a career to accomplish a great deal if you don't screw up too badly at times. He had the one and not the other, and that made it work.
[On Phil Fisher] He was always alone… Non-social. Thinking. Reading. Talking on the phone, yes but not oriented toward being with people. A very definite non-people person.
[In the early 1970's one night at 'The Monterey Conference' put on by the American Electronics Association] The conference announced a dinner contest. There was a card at each place setting, and each person was to write down what he or she thought the Dow Jones Industrials would do the next day, which is, of course, a silly exercise. The cards were collected. The person who came closest to the Dow's change for the day would win a min-color TV (which were hot new items then). The winner would be announced at lunch the next day, right after the market closed at one o'clock (Pacific time). Most folks, it turned out, did what I did – wrote down some small number, like down or up 5.57 points. I did that assuming that he market was unlikely to do anything particularly spectacular because most days it doesn't. Now in those days, the Dow was at about 900, so 5 points was neither huge nor tiny. That night, back at the hotel room, I asked Father [Phil Fisher] what he put down, and he said, 'Up 30 points,' which would be more than 3 percent. I asked why. He said he had no idea at all what the market would do; and if you knew him, you knew that he never had a view of what the market would do on a given day. But he said that if he put down a number like I did and won, people would think he was just lucky – that winning at 5.57 meant beating out the guy that put down 5.5 or the other guy at 6.0. It would all be transparently seen as sheer luck. But if he won saying, 'Up 30 point,' people would think he knew something and was not just lucky. If he lost, which was probably and he expected to, no one would know what number he had written down, and it would cost him nothing. Sure enough, the next day, the Dow was up 26 points, and father won by 10 points. When it was announced at lunch that Phil Fisher had won and how high his number was, there were discernable 'Ooh' and 'Ahhhh' sounds all over the few-hundred-person crowd.
He was pretty frugal sometimes, and when I was young and we went somewhere on business, I had to share a hotel with him. We did this even after I could afford my own room because he couldn't handle the notion of me 'wasting' the money.
What else did my father enjoy? Three big W's: walking, worrying, and work. He loved them all.

When U.S. journalist Barrett Brown was slapped with a potential 105-year jail sentence stemming from his reporting relating to the hacker group Anonymous, it raised eyebrows about how exactly could he be facing such a stiff penalty for his involvement.
Brown had a career that spanned across both the fields of investigative journalism and online activism. He co-wrote a book in 2007 and has penned articles for Vanity Fair, The Guardian, and the Huffington Post. He then became known as an unofficial spokesman for Anonymous following his articles in support of the group.

The publication of classified documents by WikiLeaks inspired Brown to start the website Project PM in 2010, created to "provide a centralized, actionable data set regarding the intelligence contracting industry, the PR industry's interface with totalitarian regimes, the mushrooming infosec/'cybersecurity' industry, and other issues constituting threats to human rights, civic transparency, individual privacy, and the health of democratic institutions."
Through Project PM, Brown began in 2011 to analyze the files of private global intelligence firms such as HBGary, which had been hacked by Anonymous and had thousands of its internal emails made public. Brown and others with Project PM began to analyze five million disclosed emails from Stratfor, another private firm hacked by Anonymous. Although not involved in the direct hacking of these companies, Brown posted links to the files on the Project PM site for others to access.
Federal investigation into Brown began shortly after he publicized the Stratfor files, which had also contained credit card information from the company's clients. On March 6, 2012, agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided Brown's house and took away his laptop and other belongings.
Brown later uploaded a series of videos to YouTube describing his arrest and treatment while in detention. In one expletive-filled video where he refers to one of the participating FBI agents, Brown states that he will "ruin his life." Brown also talks about fearing for his life from the Zetas, the Mexican drug cartel gang.
The aftermath from the videos spurred the FBI to again raid both Brown's and his mother's house in Dallas, Texas in Sept. 2012. At the time of Brown's arrest, he had been chatting in an online forum. The commotion and yelling between Brown and the federal agents can be heard in the audio recording of the chat room session.
Brown was indicted on Oct. 3, 2012 on three charges relating to his video threats against the FBI agent. On Dec. 14, 2012, he received 12 additional federal charges related to the Stratfor hack and the company's credit card information. Two counts of obstruction of justice were filed against him on Jan. 23, 2013 stemming from the Sept. 2012 raid.
Media observers and other journalists have criticized the charges against Brown as excessive. Some see issue with the charges against Brown and his posting of the Stratfor documents as criminalizing the process of linking and pasting to other websites.
"The documents to which he linked contained all sorts of other information that he wanted to investigate and write about, including Straftor's client list. There are countless legitimate reasons to link to those documents, particularly for a journalist. That this extremely dubious allegation now forms the crux of the [government's] case against him reveals what a persecution this actually is," wrote The Guardian's Glenn Greenwald in his article about the Brown case.
The maximum number of years in potential jail time from these counts – 17 in total – equal to 105 years. In comparison, Anonymous member Jeremy Hammond would serve only up to 10 years in prison for his role as the actual hacker in the Stratfor leak.
Reporters Without Borders pointed out that Brown was not the actual hacker in any of his reporting.
"Above all, Barrett was an investigative journalist who was merely doing his professional duty by looking into the Stratfor emails, an affair of public interest," said Reporters Without Borders Secretary Christophe Deloire.
Brown's trial is expected to start in September 2013.

1550s, "to snort" (of horses), perhaps from North Frisian sneere "to scorn," related to Old English fnæran "to snort, gnash one's teeth," of imitative origin (compare Danish snærre "to grin like a dog," Middle Dutch, Middle High German snarren "to rattle"). Meaning "to smile contemptuously" is from 1670s; sense of "to curl the upper lip in scorn" is attested from 1775. Related: Sneered; sneering. Sneer word is in E. Digby Baltzell (1987).


Oakland's Rockridge has become one of the most coveted East Bay neighborhoods. Residents love its charm, walkability, community feel and easy access to transportation. It features early-century bungalows, tree-lined streets, and a main street lined with one-of-a-kind shops and restaurants that would make any foodie swoon. This hamlet at the foot of the Oakland Hills, which started out as a sleepy burb, was named for its beautiful rock outcroppings and old quarry. Now it's a vibrant community anchored by the Rockridge BART station and College Avenue (the main commercial street).
This hamlet at the foot of the Oakland Hills, which started out as a sleepy burb, was named for its beautiful rock outcroppings and old quarry. Now it's a vibrant community anchored by the Rockridge BART station and College Avenue (the main commercial street).
The microclimate here offers lots of sun and warmth. The leafy residential areas feature lovingly restored Craftsman bungalows and cottages built between the 1910s and 1930s. The colorful gardens, particularly on Lawton and Manila, can be abloom with roses, lavender and wisteria. The community-built Rockridge-Temescal Greenbelt Park (a.k.a. Frog Park) is loved for its butterfly garden, dog park, play structures and path along Temescal Creek.
Many families call Rockridge home, and there are wonderful childcare and preschool options as well as top-rated elementary schools.
College Avenue is both funky and chic. It's hard not to get sucked into the two indie bookstores (Pegasus and Diesel), Maison D'Etre for home goods, Pretty Penny for vintage treasures or Bella Vita for fashion.
Get caffeinated at Highwire Coffee Roasters, where the coffee is roasted locally in small batches. Highwire is one of eight shops that make Market Hall, a European-style marketplace with delectable groceries, flowers, and treats. Grab a gourmet burrito at Cactus Taqueria, a bowl at Ramen Shop or a Chicago-style stuffed slice at Zachary's Pizza. Or just relax at À Côté bistro.
For your sweet tooth, a string of ice-cream makers vie for your attention, including Ici, Tara's and Smitten, which makes high-tech, organic ice cream using liquid nitrogen. Dreyer's Ice Cream operates its only retail parlor here, where Rocky Road was invented. Bittersweet – A Chocolate Café sells everything chocolate.
It's no surprise that Rockridge has been named one of the East Bay's most walkable, transit-friendly and livable neighborhoods, with the Rockridge BART station at its core. It takes about 20 minutes get from Rockridge BART to San Francisco's financial district.
Even if you aren't commuting, visit the BART station to see the mural made of 2,000 hand-painted tiles, many by children, depicting the Oakland Hills firestorm of 1991. The project honors those who fought and those who were lost, and is a beautiful example of the Rockridge community vibe.

The astronauts: Two female candidates made it through the selection process
The six finalists
Nicola Baumann, born on March 10, 1985 in Munich, is a Eurofighter pilot with the German armed forces in Nörvenich near Cologne. At the moment, she has the rank of Major and is responsible for, among other things, airspace surveillance in Germany and friendly NATO nations. This Munich native began her career after graduation with an officer's training. She then trained as combat aircraft pilot in the United States. Speeds of more than 2,000 km/h and barrel rolls have been an everyday occurrence for her since then.
Lisa Marie Haas, born on September 23, 1983 in Nürtingen, Baden-Württemberg, is a development engineer and project leader at Robert Bosch GmbH in Reutlingen. She specialized in sensors, which are used in the field of consumer electronics such as mobile phones, game consoles, wearables, or drones. She received a doctorate from the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Heidelberg.
Susanne Peters, born October 7, 1985 in Potsdam, Brandenburg, is a promising engineer in aerospace engineering and works as a research associate at the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of the German Armed Forces. Today, she is concerned with the removal of space debris from the orbit. Susanne Peters studied aerospace engineering in Stuttgart before she decided to pursue a doctorate at the University of the German Armed Forces in Munich.
Magdalena Pree, a native Austrian with German nationality who grew up near Passau, works as a ground operations engineer at the Galileo Control Center of DLR Gesellschaft für Raumfahrtanwendungen (GfR) in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich. In the satellite control center, in addition to live operations on the satellite system, the 28-year-old is responsible for the identification of problems and solutions as well as the control of system components. Magdalena Pree studied aerospace engineering at the Technical University of Munich.
Suzanna Randall, born December 6, 1979 in Cologne, is an astrophysicist and works at the European Southern Observatory in Garching near Munich. She is concerned with the evolution of stars and also works for the ALMA project in Chile, the largest telescope in the world. Suzanna Randall has a doctorate in astrophysics at the University of Montreal in Canada.
Insa Thiele-Eich, born on April 21, 1983 in Heidelberg, is a meteorologist and scientific coordinator at the Meteorological Institute of the University of Bonn. She conducts basic research for improved weather and climate prediction and, for example, the water or energy exchange between soil, vegetation and atmosphere. In her doctoral thesis, she analyzes the effects of climate change on Bangladesh. She studied meteorology at the University of Bonn.
"During the research conducted by DLR in cooperation with the company HE Space, the candidates have demonstrated with their professional attitude that they have the psychological abilities and medical conditions to prepare for a flight into space," says Claudia Stern, from the DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine "Within the scope of the selection process, DLR has been able to obtain unique psychological and medical data from women in connection with a flight into space."
Crowdfunding campaign started
Today, the crowdfunding campaign was also launched on Startnext. Everyone who wants to help bring Germany's first woman into space can contribute their part in writing history. The goal is to reach at least € 50,000 by crowdfuning up until April 31st. This could be used to finance the first training session.
"Now it all comes together: we showed that Germany's women have the skills to fly into space. Now we have to prove that the people in Germany believe in the candidates and also support the project financially. The next stage is the training of two of the female candidates for astronauts. We would like to finance parts of this training with the crowdfunding campaign. Of course, we hope that we will still exceed the minimum target of 50,000 euros. We want to create the flight into space by means of some sponsors. The negotiations with the sponsors are running in parallel and many have pledged supported to us. A broad support from the population in the crowdfunding campaign would bring us a great deal," said Claudia Kessler, initiator of the campaign.
For more information and the crowdfunding campaign, visit https://www.startnext.com/dieastronautin.
Parallel to the crowdfunding , the selection process goes on to the last round. In the next step, a jury of six finalists will select two women who will be trained to become the first female German astronaut. One of them will be Germany's female first astronaut to fly to the ISS before 2020. The project has two aims. First, to have the female astronauts inspire women and girls and serve a role models for technical professions and science education. Secondly, during their ISS stay, an experiment program will be used to investigate how the female body reacts in weightlessness.

Greek Waters Pilot : A yachtsman's guide to the Ionian and Aegean coasts and islands of Greece Hardback
by Rod & Lucinda Heikell
It covers the entire area from the Ionian Islands to the Aegean, Rhodes and Crete and includes details of over 450 harbours in a single volume.
Greek Waters Pilot has been painstakingly compiled from the author's own survey work and the latest first-hand information. The organisation of so much detail within the confines of a single volume is an impressive achievement and has been the basis of Greek Waters Pilot's status as the indispensable guide for anyone sailing around Greece. This 13th edition contains detailed updating of every part of the guide, but in particular areas of the Ionian, Saronic and northern Greece, visited by the authors since the last edition, have major revisions.
Many new photos, often from the air, have been introduced.
There are also many new harbour plans. Imray Digital Charts: Free mobile download A voucher code to download the relevant Imray digital charts into Imray Navigator (our app for iPad and iPhone) is included with this book. 'The fascinating background information with historical and mythological anecdotes gives this book a richness too often missing from bald pilot guides.
It would be inconceivable to visit this area without the detailed knowledge provided by Rod Heikell's enviable experience of Greek cruising.' Royal Cruising Club. 'Anyone who has cruised around Greece will be grateful to Rod Heikell for compiling what has become `the bible' for pilotage in these waters.
If you are planning on cruising in this delightful region, Heikell is invaluable...' Cruising Association''... his excellent pilots are the yardstick by which all others are measured and it's with justification that they are often referred to as `the bible.' John Goode, Sailing Today`This is a respected pilot boasting regularly repeated editions over 30-plus years; an impressive continuation of a high standard.' Edward Cartner, Cruising Magazine

Tomorrow is officially Canadian Thanksgiving and we are gathering with our family today to celebrate togetherness and gratitude for all of our blessings. I've learned over the years however, that gratitude and thanksgiving really should be a daily attitude. When both gratitude and thanksgiving are part of our every day thoughts and actions, it's amazing how much peace, contentment, and joy they bring us.
If you follow me on social media you'll have seen the free October Self-Care Challenge that my sister Sarah of Organized with Kids and I are running. Each day we do a simple self-care practice and share about it over Instagram. We are thrilled to have had hundreds of you join in with us to do your own daily self-care already (you can still join if you are interested, it's free!). One part of our self-care challenge is to focus on gratitude as it has been shown to improve wellness! Whether you are doing the self-care challenge with us, celebrating Thanksgiving today or tomorrow, or maybe not until next month, I think it's fair to say gratitude is in the air!
Do you know what's also in the air? The smell of cinnamon, baked apples, and all things warm, cozy, and "fall"! This month my house has definitely been bursting with the smell of cinnamon and one reason is this amazingly delicious Healthy Pear and Apple Crisp.
Months ago I was on a crisp kick after a friend of mine shared a delicious Vegan Apple Crisp with me when Hemsley and I went over for a play date. The recipe was from the beautiful blog Well Plated by Erin, and as soon as I got home I tracked down her recipe and made it myself. Over the following few weeks I made the crisp many times, in many ways, adding in different fruits and toppings. I seriously started to think I might be pregnant again because I just couldn't get enough apple crisp!
It turns out I wasn't pregnant, just really into apple crisp that month.
Now that fall is in full swing and pears are in season, I decided to go down memory lane and create an adaption of Erin's amazing recipe, bringing in pears, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, vegan butter, and coconut sugar! I also decided to make Pinch Of Yum's 5-Minute Magic Vegan Caramel Sauce to drizzle all over the crisp… aaahhmazing.
The pears and apples work so well together in this recipe as they each have a bit of a different texture so there's a mixture of soft, tender pears with firmer, baked apples. Both pears and apples are equally healthy, rich in vitamins, minerals, and loaded with filling fibre.
For the crisp topping I used iron-rich pumpkin seeds, protein-rich hemp seeds, and naturally sweet coconut sugar that combine with rolled oats, almond flour, shredded coconut, maple syrup, vegan butter, coconut oil, and walnuts. I love baking with coconut sugar as I find it has a rich, caramel flavour and it happens to be low on the glycemic index so it's a great healthier alternative to white or brown sugar, especially in a dish like apple crisp.
This pear and apple crisp is a definite nutritional step-up from your typical run-of-the-mill apple crisp as it contains no refined sugars and has the added benefits of healthy fats and protein. If you are looking for a great Thanksgiving dessert, this one is sure to be a crowd-pleaser (as well as Erin's recipe, it's splendid!).
Whichever crisp you end up making, drizzling the crisp with the Pinch Of Yum Magic Vegan Caramel Sauce is also a must – seriously, genius!
Happy Thanksgiving to those of you celebrating this weekend! I hope you are able to gather with friends or family, eat some amazing food, and spend time dedicated to gratitude. If you haven't signed up for the FREE October Self-Care Challenge yet, it's not too late, you can do so here! Not only will you love the benefits of focused self-care but we also have an amazing self-care prize bundle to be won!
In a large bowl combine filling ingredients and stir until apples and pears are completely coated.
Pour the pear and apple filling into a large oven-safe baking dish.
In the same large bowl used to make filling, add rolled oats, almond flour, shredded coconut, coconut palm sugar, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, walnuts, cinnamon, and salt and stir to combine.
In a smaller bowl whisk together the melted vegan butter, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup and pour into the bowl with the other topping ingredients, stir to combine.
Crumble the crisp topping over the filling in the baking dish and pack down gently.
Bake covered with lid or foil for 25 min, then remove lid/foil and continue baking for 15-20 more minutes or until top is golden and juices are bubbling around edges.
Be sure to pin the photo below to save this pear and apple crisp recipe for later and share the love. If you aren't celebrating Thanksgiving just yet it's definitely a keeper for those Fall holiday boards!
First, let me just say how much I am enjoying your Blog. I recently (7weeks) began a detox diet and I am making a life change to organic, gluten free, sugar free (sticking with coconut sugar & organic honey), basically everything non toxic!! So, I really, really enjoy & appreciate you recipes!!! I'm wondering if the Almond flour can be substituted? My son is allergic to nuts, and while I'm not completely clear what nuts, we do know he can't eat peanuts. So, I'm not sure that almonds are part of that allergy. Thank you!
Hi Elizabeth! Thank you for supporting the blog, I'm so happy it can be a great resource for you! Yes, instead of the almond flour you could use cassava flour (this is made from a root vegetable but works great in the recipe), or you could use oat flour (blend up oats until a flour consistency is achieved). I hope this helps!
The aroma of cinnamon, pears, oats, and apples just being baked in a kitchen is absolutely marvelous. If my house always smelled like this scent, I would NEVER EVER leave. This crisp looks like such a winner! I would dig into it any day, especially with ice cream on top!

A recent addition to the HSP management team, Crystal earned her initial experience in an emergency veterinary hospital. Crystal discovered her love for animals at a young age, thanks in part to her obsession with the Steve Irwin television series Crocfiles, and her parents who unknowingly subscribed themselves to "Kids" National Geographic magazine. Crystal tells us her father was notorious for bringing new pets into the house, often without mom's permission. These animals ranged from local wildlife, domestic house pets, and even exotics such as sugar gliders and iguanas. She credits her parents and close friends for always pushing her to (In the words of Disney's Moana) follow "the line where the sky meets the sea." When she's not at the shelter, her 13 year old dog Ace, Senegal parrot Polly and cat Albus take up most of her free time, and she wouldn't have it any other way. Crystal is not only known for her customer service skills, but also her love of all things "nerd." May the force be with you!

Autopsy reveals cause of death for TobyMac's son
By Tess Schoonhoven, posted January 23, 2020 in
NASHVILLE (BP) — The death of Truett Foster McKeehan, 21, son of Christian rapper TobyMac, was caused by an accidental overdose of fentanyl and amphetamines. The cause was listed on a report from the Davidson County (Tenn.) medical examiner, according to the Tennessean newspaper.
McKeehan's death was sudden. Emergency crews found him dead on arrival to his home after a call was made regarding a person in cardiac arrest.
The report showed potential nitrous oxide use, known also a laughing gas, as well as Adderall and marijuana.
Metro Public Health Department records for Davidson County show that deaths as a result of fentanyl overdose have increased since 2016.
The report state that unbeknownst to the user, heroin, cocaine and other drugs are often laced with fentanyl, which, according to the CDC, is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine.
Davidson County Medical Examiner Feng Li, in the written report, said that McKeehan had previously abused drugs and alcohol, but that is not yet known where the drugs came from that caused his overdose.
McKeehan released music and video projects, along with being featured on some of his father's tracks and albums.
TobyMac released a tribute song for his son Jan. 10 titled "21 Years."
The song, exploring McKeehan's passing at 21 years of age, features a raw outpouring of the heart as the rapper describes his journey of grief.
In an Instagram post regarding the release, TobyMac stated that "writing this song felt like an honest confession of the questions, pain, anger, doubt, mercy and promise that describes the journey I'm probably only beginning."
The rapper continued by pointing to the hope he finds in God.
"One thing I know is that I am not alone," TobyMac said. "God didn't promise us a life of no pain or even tragic death, but He did promise He would never leave us or forsake us. And I'm holding dearly to that promise for my son as well as myself."
Following the tragedy, the rapper's family started the Truett Foster Foundation — a donation-based scholarship fund that gives children the financial ability to pursue their dreams.
"We want to use this fund to help kids to do just that: to get an education — to pursue music — to get the chance to chase their dreams. Truett would love that," reads a statement on the organization's website.
Southern Baptists have affirmed their intention to increase awareness of the dangers of opioids, to advocate for solutions and to serve those affected by addiction in a resolution passed at the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting in Dallas in 2018.
"Resolved, that we demonstrate grace toward the addict and hope for recovering that individuals might prosper and flourish," the resolutions reads, that we encourage churches to live out the biblical mandate to care for the fatherless by supporting families and organizations that advocate and care for children whose homes have been impacted by opioid abuse."

I just love fall... it has always been my favorite season. I couldn't resist this cute little pumpkin shaped book at Archiver's last time I was in the store. I decided to make it into a pumpkin counting book for my preschoolers. I gathered up a bunch of the stickers I already had, and got a few more at Archiver's.
Each page has a few different stickers on it... counting from 1-10. Preschoolers will want to count each one, touch each one... start over again. I love to see their curious little minds at work.
I can't wait to bring it to school to share it with the kids!
How cool! They'll love it!


Quest Protein Bar Cookies and Cream 60g is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 4.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bebe Melbourne from The best tasting of protein bars These are so good. Unlike regular flavoured protein bars that kind of look like chewed newspaper, these have 'cookie' and 'chocolate' chunks throughout. These are a real treat if you are already used to that whey protein taste.
Rated 4 out of 5 by TonF from Great quality, but expensive These are a favourite flavour and the ingredients are excellent. I guess quality costs money. Still, you won't find them at a better price than at ChemistWarehouse!

We're All Going to Die; DNA End Caps Hint When
By M. Todd Hollingshead (BA '04, MA '12) in the Spring 2015 Issue
Telomeres may be the crystal ball in longevity research.
Photo courtesy of Giovanni Cancelli/istock/shutterstock
Biologist Jonathan K. Alder knows when most of us are going to die. Okay, he doesn't know the exact day or time, but the BYU physiology and developmental biology professor has a pretty good idea, thanks to his research on the tiny biological clocks attached to our chromosomes. These DNA end caps—kind of like the plastic cap on the end of a shoelace—are called telomeres, and they are one great predictor of life expectancy: the shorter your telomeres, the shorter your lifespan. Not only that, shorter telomeres also indicate a higher risk for bone marrow failure and liver, skin, and lung diseases.
"When we are born, our telomeres are longer. As you get older, they shorten," explains Alder, who has been tinkering with telomeres, trying to identify ways to extend them and studying the gene mutations that cause them to be unnaturally short in some people.
Alder's latest findings with Johns Hopkins University collaborators establish yet another link between telomeres and lung disease, directly connecting genetic mutations to pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema.
"Most people don't realize that lung disease is the third most common cause of death in the United States," says lead researcher Mary Armanios, associate professor of oncology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "Telomere research has its most significant direct public health benefit in the area of lung disease."
The findings, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation and in Chest, show that some of those who develop severe emphysema have mutations in one of the genes responsible for maintaining telomeres. Since mutations in telomere genes are known to cause pulmonary fibrosis, these findings link two diseases that were previously thought to be unrelated. And these mutations affect generations.
"Families with telomere mutations pass those down the line, meaning offspring start off with shorter telomeres," says Alder. "With each passing generation the disease gets worse, and they get it at an earlier age."
This new research could mean that those with telomere mutations who smoke—even for a brief part of life—could be at greater risk.
Each time a cell divides and replicates, the DNA at the end of telomeres shortens. And cell division happens throughout life, which explains why telomeres get shorter and shorter as we age. When the telomeres run out, the cell becomes inactive or dies, which leads to disease.
Scientists have figured out ways to lengthen telomeres, but they are no magic bullet: telomeres that keep their length can lead to other complications like cancer.
"This a definite Goldilocks situation," says Alder. "Too little, you age prematurely; too much, you could get more serious diseases. You need to be just right."

Mad Cow USA - The Coverup Continues in Washington
Submitted by John Stauber on May 29, 2007 - 3:50pm
The Associated Press notes that the Bush administration "will fight to keep meatpackers from testing all their animals for mad cow disease. The Agriculture Department tests fewer than 1 percent of slaughtered cows for the disease, which can be fatal to humans who eat tainted beef. A beef producer in the western state of Kansas, Creekstone Farms Premium Beef, wants to test all of its cows," but the US government has said such private testing is illegal. "U.S. District Judge James Robertson noted that Creekstone sought to use the same test the government relies on and said the government didn't have the authority to restrict it. The ruling was scheduled to take effect June 1, but the Agriculture Department said Tuesday it would appeal, effectively delaying the testing until the court challenge has played out." Way back in 1997, the book Mad Cow USA by Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber exposed the US government's failure to protect cattle and people against this bizarre and always fatal brain disease, including the failure to adequately test US cattle. One decade later the US cover-up continues.

What a surprise
What a surprise! George Bush doing something t jeoparde the health and sanity of the American people! Register the shock!!!!
I hope a big old slab of mad cow makes it to the filet mignon in Bohemian Grove this year. I think it would serve those boys right to get the disease themselves. They only thing is that if they all went mad and lost their marbles, how could we tell the difference???????

A fast ring imaging detector for the CLEO upgrade
Marina Artuso, Y. Mukhin
Different implementations of fast RICH schemes for a symmetric or asymmetric e+e- collider at the Υ{hooked}(4S) have been studied. The proposed solutions provide a 4σ π-K separation at the highest particle momenta from B decays and allow a sufficient number of photoelectrons for good pattern recognition capability.

When Your Child Becomes a Missionary . . .
To order Parents of Missionaries: How to Thrive and Stay Connected When Your Children and Grandchildren Serve Cross-Culturally (Authentic Publishing, 2008), go to Amazon.com. The paperback (304 pages) retails for $16.99.
Be sure to read the vignettes from and about parents of missionaries at the bottom of this article.
Last year at the National Missionary Convention, before the opening night session began, I wandered up and down the rows of seats, fliers in hand.
Over and over, the conversation repeated itself as I made my way through the crowd.
My encounters that night weren't unusual. Parents of missionaries (POMs) travel off the awareness radar just about everywhere. And frequently, when POMs realize they've found someone who understands their feelings, the tears come.
Fall 2001. LifeSpring Christian Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, had one couple from the congregation on the field and two more preparing to go in 2002. All three couples had parents at LifeSpring, and Judy Johnson, missions minister, asked Cheryl Savageau, then director of LifeSpring's counseling ministry, how to help the parents.
When the support group sessions ended, Cheryl and I contacted area churches and located more POMs and helped them begin meeting several times a year for fellowship and education. In 2003, we created the National Network of Parents of Missionaries Web site and exhibited for the first time at the NMC.
Upended expectations for the future. Birthdays and holidays; births, weddings, and funerals; shopping days and golfing days won't be shared with their missionary on any regular basis again.
Fear for the missionary's well-being. Parents must accept that their missionary's living conditions may include inadequate medical facilities, political unrest, and safety concerns.
Emotional distance compounded by physical distance. Parents often experience some emotional distancing by their children in their 20s. The gap closes as children move closer to 30. But POMs must deal with great physical distance too. They may secretly wonder if the physical miles between them and their missionary will prevent ever enjoying the emotional closeness they desire.
Grief. Even the most supportive POMs experience grief over the losses and changes brought about by having a missionary son or daughter. Often, however, POMs don't recognize they are grieving or can't admit it to themselves or others—they may be unwilling to appear vulnerable, or they may be afraid something is wrong with their faith.
Complicating midlife challenges. Last, POMs experience all of the above at a time in life when they may also be dealing with other difficult midlife situations—the challenge of an empty-nest marriage, health concerns, caring for their own aging parents, downsizing or a move due to retirement, or even the loss of a spouse due to death or divorce.
Not everyone agrees that POM concerns have merit. "Your missionary children aren't dead," one person told us.
"I'd rather deal with the pain of being a POM than the pain of my children not walking with the Lord," said another.
First, the apostle Paul wrote that believers should weep with those who weep—no preconditions attached, no comparisons required. Experiencing loss and receiving God's comfort develops empathy to comfort others—whatever the nature of the loss.
Also, to trust God doesn't mean we always feel—or may only express—positive emotions. David's psalms are full of praise, but they reveal distress and weariness too. Paul felt so much pressure as an apostle that he "despaired even of life" (2 Corinthians 1:8).
And Christians are to function as a body, "speaking the truth in love" (Ephesians 4:15) to one another. Sometimes the truth we need to speak is the truth about who we are, what we have experienced, and how we feel.
Most POMs experience both profound joy and grief because their children are missionaries. Both emotions need to be accepted by others. Grief that remains unacknowledged and not accepted by the believing community is disenfranchised grief that is harder to process and heal.
Having a son or daughter who serves the Lord as a missionary in Europe, Africa, or Asia is different than having a son or daughter who works for a large corporation in those places. A son or daughter makes the choice to work for IBM or Procter & Gamble (we realize that God can direct such decisions), but answering a call from God to serve him in missions is something more.
A missionary's call to go is also a parent's call to send—to become a "living sacrifice" (Romans 12:1). Parents who talk about the pain of separation aren't whining; they are describing the pain that always comes with sacrifice. Jesus understands this.
It's exactly because missionaries are serving the Lord that the Lord's community must look with compassion—not criticism—on the experiences and needs of parents (and siblings) who send their loved ones as missionaries. Providing emotional support to POMs doesn't encourage them to whine. It doesn't trivialize the pain of other parents who have suffered other kinds of loss.
As a body, the church sends missionaries. Encouraging POMs is simply one more way for the church to "love one another deeply" (1 Peter 1:22) and "carry each other's burdens" (Galatians 6:2).
When POMs are willing to speak truth and others are willing to receive it, everyone wins—POMs, missionaries, and missions, plus churches, mission agencies, and Christian colleges.
Again and again, we've encountered mission recruits and missionaries hungry for their parents' blessing and interest in their preparations or work—and parents who feel hurt or angry because their child left them out of the decision and preparation to enter missions or is too busy to maintain a connection from the field.
We've also met parents who have embraced their new role as senders by acknowledging their grief, finding the help and support they need, and learning how to stay connected across miles, time zones, and cultures. Their sons and daughters are missionaries who view their parents as supportive partners in their mission as well as beloved family. Many POMs develop a passion for missions themselves as they cheer their children on from home and visit on the field.
As church members support and encourage POMs, they develop compassion for fellow believers and gain a wider window on the world, and the church benefits. Mission agencies and colleges that prepare students for missions also benefit by addressing POM concerns. When they train missionaries to understand the value God places on family relationships, they help missionaries bless their parents and receive needed blessing and encouragement from their parents in return.
Strong family ties should not keep anyone from following God's will, but Jesus did not teach us to stop caring about family as we follow him. Jesus provided for his mother from the cross. If God has called our sons and daughters into missions, by all means, we must send them.
But POMs need not feel guilty about missing their children and grandchildren who serve cross-culturally. We don't stop being family. We can stay connected, and we honor God when we do.
He's the Father, after all, who stopped at nothing to stay connected to us.

Just as asking questions communicates your interest, support, and blessing, being present at important events also says you care. So if you can be there, be there! Many churches hold special events featuring the missionaries they are sending to the field. Mission conferences are good places to engage with your child's vision. POM groups and events allow you to learn from others who have walked this path longer than you.
One very important event is the commissioning service. If you are not asked how you would like to participate, speak up! Tell your missionary if you would like to pray aloud or speak as part of the service or if it would be meaningful to you to be acknowledged as the missionary's parent.
In the hustle and bustle of planning the service, parents may be overlooked, and everyone can feel bad afterward. So speak up about how you do or don't want to participate.
Lynn, Mark, and Kristen watch silently as Heidi and Jared check their bags. Then, "Well, Mom, Dad, I guess this is it." More hugs, more tears.
"You know we love you," Mark says. "E-mail or call us as soon as you can." Heidi and Jared walk close together toward security. Heidi turns once to wave, and then they are gone. Kristen begins to wail, suddenly too overcome with sorrow to be embarrassed. Mark pulls out his handkerchief and hands it to Kristen, and Lynn prays, God, help us, please. This isn't easy.
It's tempting to view furlough strictly as a returning, but Alice, a POM, has a different view: "All could define furlough as an uprooting, which may or may not include work, further education, workshops, retreats and conferences, travel, family time, grandparent time, sibling and cousin time, weddings, funerals, and vacation." Not only are the missionaries uprooted from what is now their home as they return to their passport country, but parents and extended family also can experience an uprooting of sorts as normal routines and living experiences give way to maximize time with the missionary and grandchildren.
• Send a coloring book to your grandchild and ask that some completed pictures be mailed to you. Put them on your fridge, take a picture, and send the photo to your grandchild.
• Jeanne and her husband, Johnny, wrote about the "Grandpa's Camp" videos they create and send to their grandchildren. Johnny made up an original song that starts every video, and then he introduces the theme, reads a book, shares a snack (sent over with the video), and goes "on location" or gives a demonstration. Subjects so far have included camping, photography (at the Grand Canyon), music (the church orchestra), a sick day, Christmas, Fourth of July, and Bible stories. Sometimes the grandchildren's cousins are included too!
• Purchase two subscriptions to a favorite children's or teen magazine . . . one for you and one for your grandchild. If direct international mailing isn't possible, have both subscriptions sent to your home and send one overseas in a flat-rate international mailing envelope. Write or talk about each issue.
When all the details of getting ready to leave are wrapped up, when bags are packed and checked and everyone has hugged one final time, when you leave the airport parking garage and begin the drive toward home, it can be reassuring to know that you and your missionary have done everything you could to say good-bye well and experience a sane send-off. The work you have done will allow you to keep your connection strong even as you both minister in different parts of the world.

The Guerrilla Guards
Leave a Comment	/ Meeker County / By Dennis Partridge
The "Guerrilla Guards" consisted of about 35 men and boys, while Capt. Pettit was now stationed here with a full company of U. S. soldiers Apprehending difficulty in making the arrest at Whitcombs quarters. Judge Griswold had made a call on Capt. Pettit of which the following is a copy.
To Capt. G. F. PETTIT:
Co. B. 8th, Regiment, Minn. Vol's.
Sir: Circumstances are such as to compel me to issue a warrant against, and to deal with, according to law, one Wm. Branham, Geo. W. Waggoner and Cornelius McGraw for a gross breach of the peace, as is alleged.
Circumstances are also such as to render it more than probable that said warrant cannot be duly served without the aid of the military arm of the State.
You are therefore, directed and required to render to the special officer in charge of the execution of said warrant, such military assistance as he may need for the the faithful discharge of his duty.
Respectfully, J. W. GRISWOLD.
Justice Peace, M. C. M.
Stanton thought he could arrest the boys with out help-by others, it was thought doubtful-the sequel will show that Stanton had made most proficiency in the study of human nature. He went to Whitcombs quarters and separately whispered to the culprits, that Smith had a basket of apples at his office and Would like to treat his friends and had sent him to invite a few of them, following close behind them, as they passed into the office-Stanton cooly locked the door drew forth the warrant and in his inimitable suttering style, respectfully informed them that they were his prisoners.
At this moment Judge Griswold sat at the head of the table "looking more law" than any Lord Coke ever dreampt of, Smith at the foot with the "code" under his arm, and Capt. Pettit with Lieuts. Hollister and Shaw on either side in full uniform, evidently the most dignified tribunal ever assembled in the county.
When Stanton's "ruse" was understood by the company present, order for a time was difficult to be preserved.
For certain reasons, in connection with the rest of Whitcomhs boys, Stanton soon had business at Clearwater, and the court assigned the prisoners to the keeping of "Uncle Ike Delamatter," whose age and venerable looks were sure, to protect him from insult.
Whitcomb and Atkinson defended the prison ers bravely, but. the judge held them to bail for their appearance at the next term of the District Court to answer to an indictment for false imprisonment. The case has not yet been disposed of, and so far as we know, the prisoners are yet in the legal custody of "Uncle Ike."
Some deny the correctness of this report, and we confess to two . strong reasons why it might well be doubted—first the known fact that Judge Atkinson was never before found at the pinching end of the judicial nippers and secondly this was the only occasion known in the history of the county, when Jewett was at all backward, or need-ed any help, in getting into a muss!
Legal proceedings in the county could be re counted to most any' extent and perhaps with some degree of interest, but the printer reminds us that our book is about large enough, and we will be compelled to desist. In many of the cases the udicrous predominate and while the old saw holds good that– "A little nonsense now and then, Is relished by the best of men."
We are reminded that it is not quite safe to go in for too much of it. Kandiyohi county was attached to Meeker for judicial purposes from 1857 to 187o and we have a quantity of judicial and oth er "nuts to crack" at the expense of that county, but we must desist, as we do not like to deprive Kandiyohi of her own future history.
The first person ever sentenced to the Penitentiary from this county was a man by the name of Roberts in 1869 for twenty-two months Judge Vanderburgh presiding Roberts thanked the Judge cordially for the brevity of the time fixed, and hoped he (the judge) would call and see him if he ever came to Stillwater!

Mel Kiper's fourth mock draft has a surprise for the Eagles
But how realistic is it?
By Brandon Lee Gowton@BrandonGowton Apr 14, 2020, 9:47am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Mel Kiper's fourth mock draft has a surprise for the Eagles
Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images
With the 2020 NFL Draft merely NINE days away, ESPN's Mel Kiper has published his latest mock simulation (Version 4.0) that goes two rounds deep.
Kiper previously had the Philadelphia Eagles selecting Justin Jefferson at No. 21. This time around, though, Jefferson goes off the board to the Denver Broncos at No. 15. And that leaves a surprise name on the board for Philly's first-round pick:
21. Philadelphia Eagles — Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama
This pick should be the best wide receiver on their board. Philadelphia doesn't have many roster holes, but there's a big one at wideout. And really, if I'm running the Eagles, I would look at trading up a few spots to get my guy. I suspect they'd be thrilled to get Ruggs, who is one of the fastest players in this class but is underrated as a route runner. This is a roster that can win the NFC East again.
There's been thought that the Eagles will need to trade up to get Ruggs. Heck, Daniel Jeremiah suggested the Alabama speedster could be the first receiver off the board.
Thus, getting Ruggs at No. 21 feels like a steal. The Eagles could really afford to add a big play threat and Ruggs fits the bill with his 4.2 speed and 17.5 college yards per reception mark.
It's just hard to envision Ruggs actually falling to the Eagles' pick. It's also not easy to imagine Philly being super aggressive when it comes to trading up since they only two top 100 picks.
Getting back to the Jefferson angle, there's increasing buzz that the LSU product won't be making it to the Eagles' first-round selection. The aforementioned Jeremiah also linked him to Denver.
Denver Broncos offense in 2019
3rd down: 30th in the NFL
Redzone: 28th in the NFL
LSU WR Justin Jefferson in 2019
3rd down: 27 targets, 24 receptions, 17 1st downs, 6 TD
12 Redzone TDs (Most among draft eligible WRs)
I'd say this is a pretty good fit.
— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) April 11, 2020
Even if the Broncos DO pass on Ruggs to take Jefferson, I can't see the former merely falling to Philly. The Eagles haven't done anything to disguise their need at receiver and therefore teams will be in position to trade ahead of their pick.
But, hey, it's fun to dream about what could be. Maybe the Eagles find a way to get lucky on draft night.
As for the Eagles' second-round pick, Kiper has Howie Roseman addressing another hole on the roster:
53. Philadelphia Eagles — Jordan Brooks, ILB, Texas Tech
I love this pick for the Eagles, who could get an immediate starter at middle linebacker. Brooks, my No. 3 ILB, is a 240-pound tackling machine and sideline-to-sideline defender who surprised me with a 4.54 40 at the combine. I liked his tape, but I didn't know he was that explosive. He could be a menace in the NFC East for years to come.
There's been some speculation that the Eagles could go linebacker in the first round for the first time since 1979. Personally, I'll believe it when I see it happen. Day 2 feels more realistic.
The Eagles must add linebacker talent at some point. Nathan Gerry, T.J. Edwards, Duke Riley, Jatavis Brown, and Alex Singleton are currently the only five players at that position. None of them are "no questions asked" starters, though the coaching staff is high on Gerry's potential. Gerry and Brooks could be the Eagles' main two starters in 2020.
Scouting report via NFL.com's Lance Zierlein:
While his tackle production has been good in all four seasons, it's hard not to come away from tape study feeling like his numbers should be even higher with his athletic traits and above-average instincts. Attacking blocks with better hand usage and greater physicality should allow him to eliminate some negative reps and become a more impactful player. He's a potential future starter as an inside linebacker in even or odd fronts, but concerns with coverage duties could impact how teams see him as an every-down linebacker.
Spider graph:
Should be a prominent Eagles target on Day 2. Schwartz wants a fast, pursuit defense and Brooks is tailor made for it. https://t.co/GdugjmVYLS

Grade Mel Kiper's latest mock draft picks for the Eagles
(2384 votes)


Jonas Folger took his season's first win in a wet Moto2 race at Brno, storming from seventh on the grid and beating Suzuki-bound Alex Rins.
The German rider got a perfect start, going around the outside of polesitter Johann Zarco at Turn 1, to take the lead of the race.
Afterwards at the front, Folger was never challenged for the lead once Zarco dropped ground, with closest rival Rins 5.175s behind.
Rins himself had to work hard at the start to move past Takaaki Nakagami, but once in open air, the Spanish rider held on to second, ahead of front-row starter Sam Lowes.
Behind the top three, Mattia Pasini made big inroads in the race, starting from 17th to finish fourth, equaling his best result in the 2016 season.
Pasini is under investigation after tangling with Sandro Cortese on the final lap while fighting for fourth, the German rider crashing out, having made up eight places in the race.
Alex Marquez finished fifth, after he was overtaken by Pasini at halfway point.
Hafizh Syahrin was sixth, making up nine places in the race, with Danny Kent winning the Leopard team duel to end up seventh.
Teammate Miguel Oliveira finished ninth, with Franco Morbidelli passing the Portuguese rider in the final stages.
Anthony West charged to 10th from the back of the field, ending up just ahead of championship leader Zarco, who fought back after having dropped down outside of points at one stage.
Elsewhere, Nakagami crashed out from seventh after he was tagged by Simone Corsi, for which the Italian received a ride-through penalty, dropping him out of points in 19th.
In the standings, Zarco now leads Rins by only 19 points, with Lowes a further 25 points adrift of the Spaniard.
Alex Marquez: "I was trying too hard to match what Marc did"

Report: Commission Advises Florida to Arm Teachers
( Michele Eve Sandberg / AFP /Getty Images)
By Eric Mack | Wednesday, 02 January 2019 09:42 PM
The state-commissioned report of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School has made a number of school safety recommendations, including arming teachers, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Wednesday.
"There needs to be a sense of urgency," Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, who chaired the commission, told the paper. "And people need to understand that there's an expectation and a rightful expectation on the part of parents: When you send your kids to school in the morning, there's an expectation they're going to come home alive in the afternoon and there are very basic things.
"There's a money issue, I grant you that. And there's challenges with money, but there's a whole bunch of things that don't cost anything and the Legislature, if these districts won't do it, should mandate that they implement these things and that they implement them immediately."
Gualtieri's report was 458 pages and outlines the errors made during last February's mass shooting of 17 students and staff at the Parkland, Florida, high school, including failed security and safety policies, according to the paper.
Proposals to permit some teaches to carry guns and increase school security spending will be reviewed by outgoing Gov. Rick Scott, incoming Gov. Ron DeSantis, Senate President Bill Galvano, and House Speaker José Oliva, the Sun-Sentinel reported.
Gualtieri forcefully backed the proposal to arm teachers, reminding that the shooter had to reload, presenting pauses to stop him.
"So what are we saying to people — we're not going to allow you to defend yourself, we're not going to allow you to defend the kids — why? Because of some ideology that we don't like guns?" Gualtieri said, per the Sun-Sentinel. "Anyone who thinks they're going to get rid of guns is crazy. It isn't going to happen. We've got to do something differently and people should be able to protect themselves."
Broward School Board member Robin Bartleman is reportedly willing to revisit arming teachers, despite hesitation for it.
"I am very concerned about arming teachers," Bartleman told the Sun-Sentinel. "I think it's a discussion we need to have with the community. I have not found many people in favor of this. The overwhelming response I get is people don't want teachers with guns."
Board member Lori Alhadeff, whose daughter Alyssa was killed by the Parkland shooter, is against arming teachers, she told the paper.
"Teachers went to school to teach," she said. "That is their expertise. Law enforcement, their expertise is supposed to be to engage a threat. Unfortunately, that didn't happen on 2/14, but I still think we should leave it in the hands of law enforcement."

S. Foster Damon's 1947 reading of "A Cradle Song" indicates that most early critics accepted Isaac Watts' Hush! my dear, lie still and slumber as the model for Blake's poem. However, Damon claims that "There is no more resemblance [between the two works]than there must be between any two cradle-songs. He also claims that the designs of the second plate have a "Raphaelesque hardness, which is in this day not pleasant."
Vivian de Sola Pinto acknowledges the connections between "A Cradle Song" and Watts' work made by Damon and others but notes that no critic has yet explored the relationship between Blake's and Watts' work in detail, a task she takes on in her 1957 study. Placing Watts' "A Cradle Hymn" side-by-side with Blake's "A Cradle Song," de Sola Pinto analyzes their thematic and prosodic similarities and differences, ultimately reading Blake's song as the "delogicalization" of Watts' hymn.
