For generations, hunters have used bow and arrows for hunting purposes. In ancient times, bows and arrows are used in the army and they are used to hunt down animals. However, with time the applications of bows and arrows have narrowed to sports activities. Nowadays, the bows and arrows are built scientifically, they are built using modern machines and that is why their efficiency and performance is high. In contemporary times there are many companies which construct high quality bows and arrows with innovative features. Modern devices can be used for hunting purposes and they can be used for sporting activities.
There are available different types of bows and arrows and compound crossbars is one such type. In a digital world, the devices are available online in select portals. This is indeed good news for the sports enthusiast. Earlier vertical bows remained popular and widely used. However, with time there has been a paradigm shift as far as the use of bows & arrows are concerned. In modern times, more and more people use crossbows during archery events in sports. The compound crossbows are designed and built using modern technology and that allows the user for improved accuracy with less effort than the vertical bows.
If you are a sports enthusiast and want to invest in the crossbows then take a look at the websites that sell these products online. The popular crossbows include Tenpoint Turbo GT, Centerpoint Sniper 370, Barnett Ghost 410 CRT, Scorpyd Orion Extreme andTenpoint Venom. The compound crossbows are an excellent combination of the vertical bow, compound and the modern rifle technology. It is understood that such crossbows are the most accurate and deadly weapon used by the hunters and the sportsperson (archers). The bow is heavy, has a complicated design and uses a heavier arrow to calculate speeds.

#3 CORPUS CHRISTI ICERAYS @ #2 SHREVEPORT MUDBUGS
Saturday, April 15 • 7:11 P.M. • Hirsch Memorial Coliseum • Shreveport, LA
Series: COR leads 1-0
Tonight's Game: The Corpus Christi IceRays and Shreveport Mudbugs finish the weekend with Game 2 of the South Division Semifinals from George's Pond at Hirsch Coliseum. The two sides will play a best-of-five series to determine who moves on to the South Division Finals.
Head-To-Head: The IceRays jumped out to a 1-0 series lead with the victory last night, continuing the success against the Mudbugs from the regular season. The IceRays went 9-2-0-1 in the regular season including going 4-1-0-1 in road meetings, outscoring the Mudbugs only 40-37 with a 5-2-0-1 record in one-goal games. The IceRays own a 30-27-6 regular season record against the Mudbugs through the professional and junior franchises, but this is the first postseason meeting in franchise history.
Last Night: The IceRays shut down the Shreveport Mudbugs in a goaltending battle, winning 2-0 on Friday night from George's Pond at Hirsch Coliseum. Despite being outshot 12-5 in the first period, IceRays forward Griffin Loughran (9:21 1st) opened the scoring during a 2-on-1, bouncing a pass off a defenseman and into the net for a 1-0 lead. Both sides had three opportunities to cash in on power plays including a 5-on-3 advantage for the Mudbugs, but neither side could convert. Each goaltender made dazzling saves throughout the night, and it wasn't until late in the game when IceRays forward Brad Power (EN, 18:23 3rd) sealed the 2-0 victory with an empty net goal. IceRays goaltender Tomáš Vomáčka halted all 21 shots faced for the win, while Mudbugs netminder Dylan Lubbesmeyer stopped 16 of 17 shots in the loss.
Blank Page: For the first time in junior franchise history, the IceRays recorded a shutout victory in postseason action to open the 2017 Robertson Cup Playoffs. The IceRays earned three shutouts during the regular season, most recently a 2-0 victory against Topeka during which Tomáš Vomáčka saved 19 shots. Over the franchise's nine postseason appearances, this is the third ever shutout victory, coming in line with the series-clinching 4-0 win over the El Paso Buzzards during the 1st Round of the 2000 WPHL Playoffs as well as a 3-0 victory over the Laredo Bucks in the 2nd Round of the 2007 CHL Playoffs. Conversely, the IceRays have been shutout in the playoffs just twice, falling 3-0 to the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees in the 1st Round of the 2009 CHL Playoffs during the series-clinching game and dropping 2-0 in another series-clinching game during the 1st Round of the 2010 CHL Playoff against the Texas Brahmas.
Strong Start: For the second time in three attempts, the IceRays earned a win during the first game of the opening playoff series, joining a 2-1 victory over the Amarillo Bulls on Apr. 5, 2013 in the 2013 South Division Semifinals. In fact, the IceRays have technically earned points in all three opening games during their NAHL careers with the 3-2 overtime loss to the Wenatchee Wild during the 2015 South Division Quarterfinals on Apr. 3, 2015 despite still picking up the loss. The IceRays have won six of their 11 total opening series games for the franchise, going 6-2-3 in those situations. However, the IceRays have yet to win the second game of the series in the junior franchise and only twice in 11 total attempts.
Trending Downward: The Mudbugs have not had the best finish to the 2016-17 season and continued that downward slip last night. The team has now lost five-straight games since opening April, going 0-4-1 in that time while being kept to just two goals or less in all five of those games while allowing 3.20 goals per game. During the regular season, the Mudbugs' worst losing skid was also five games, spanning from January 16 to February 4 against all three other playoff teams combined. The Mudbugs only had three losing streaks during the season, all of which were either four or five games and came at very separate points of the schedule.
Low Scoring: Offensive output hasn't always been at the forefront of the IceRays during the postseason, though much of their positive results so far have come with fewer shots. Last night's 18 shots were the lowest for a playoff game in seven total attempts in the postseason, falling behind the team's 21 shots during their only other win: a 2-1 victory on Apr. 5, 2013 over the Amarillo Bulls. Overall, the team averages now 26.43 shots per game with only two games above 30 shots while conceding 39.57 shots per game on the other side despite allowing their lowest postseason shot total last night and the only game with less the 30 shots allowed. For scoring, the IceRays have only maxed out at three goals three times during the 2013 South Division Semifinals while hitting exactly two goals during their other four games.
Way Of The Power: IceRays forward Brad Power converted for the first time in his postseason career, continuing momentum built from the regular season in production. The St. John's, N.F. native now carries a three-game point streak stemming from the final weekend of the year, recording six points (2 goals, 4 assists) in that span and is the only player with an active point streak. After starting the year with scoring in spurts, Power finished the season with no more than four games without a goal starting on December 10. Last night's empty net goal was his fourth this year, leading the IceRays in that category.
Latvian Influence: Mudbugs forward Erik Zohovs has been a large difference maker throughout his first season in the NAHL both with his size and skill. The UMass-Lowell commit finished the season with 39 points through 32 games, owning a 1.22 point-per-game clip. Had he not missed over two months due to injury would have more than likely finished with around 72 points, which is above the league-leading scorer Chase Thudium (Odessa), who clocked in at 70 points through 59 games. The only player in the league above Zohovs in points per game was Jackalopes forward Ludwig Stenlund (1.38).
Power Goes The Mudbugs: The heartbeat of the Mudbugs scoring comes from their power play opportunities, and when the team thrives, the power play is at the head of that charge. In 24 of the Mudbugs' 35 wins this season, they converted on at least one power play opportunities, meaning 68.57% of their wins had a tally in them. On the other side, the Mudbugs have only scored on the power play in 11 of their 25 losses (44.00%). When looking at the team's losing streaks, the Mudbugs have scored on the man-advantage in just five of the combined 14 losses they had in those skids, converting at a 6-for-42 (14.29%) rate.
Game 1: Wildcats @ Brahmas – LSB wins 3-0
Game 1: IceRays @ Mudbugs – COR wins 2-0
Next Game: Game 3 of the South Division Semifinals between the IceRays and Mudbugs heads back to the American Bank Center on Wednesday, Apr. 19 at 7:05 p.m. Tickets are available at the arena box office or Ticketmaster.com. Coverage begins at 6:50 p.m. on SportsRadio Corpus Christi (KSIX 1230AM) & Hockey TV.
ICERAYS TAKE 2-0 SERIES LEAD WITH 5-3 WIN

We're always receiving feedback in the form of our results. Whenever we're not creating the results we want, we know we have to do things differently.
Similarly, we can learn to give feedback to others if they're not making progress or meeting deadlines. Being able to provide feedback without destroying a person's self-confidence is really valuable, especially if we're in any type of leadership or managerial role.
I remember when I had a corporate career, performance management sessions was something I dreaded, both as a receiver and as the giver of feedback. There was always a level of discomfort going through the process because as human beings, being challenged or questioned by another person can be uncomfortable.
The good news was I always survived those sessions and they always helped me improve and I was also able to help my team members improve.
We tend to prefer positive feedback. Receiving negative feedback can be awkward at times.
They either reject or ignore the feedback.
They may get angry at the person providing the feedback.
They may feel discouraged by the feedback and choose not to improve.
The whole purpose of giving or receiving feedback is to improve and continually move forward towards agreed objectives. In order to prevent someone from feeling discouraged as a result of negative feedback, there are specific things we can do.
Before giving any type of feedback, it's helpful to be prepared as best as we can. This may include having the relevant facts, stats, data, reports or statements ready to validate something that's being shared.
Use the "sandwich" method. This is one of the most common ways of providing feedback. It starts off with the positive, like all the things going or done well, then focuses on what can be improved, before ending with another positive, such as encouraging the person to improve and be an example to others. The aim is for the person receiving the feedback to want to improve rather than stay where they are.
Focus on the situation, behaviour and impact. A common mistake when giving negative feedback is to inform the person what they did or didn't do, rather than focus on their behaviours specific to a situation. An example is instead of saying, "This is what you did," a better approach is to say, "During such and such event, this was the behaviour that was observed and this was the impact it had." This type of feedback makes it easier for the person receiving to relate to it.
Be specific with your feedback. Similar to the previous point, our aim should be to provide as many examples which the person receiving will know and relate to. Instead of saying, "You could have finished some of your projects on time," saying, "Project X that was due to have been completed by such and such date was actually completed on this date, so I'd like to discuss what can be done to prevent something like this from happening again" is a more helpful approach.
Encourage new actions. The aim for any feedback session should be to promote new behaviours, practices and actions. Offering additional support or resources and making recommendations are useful things to inspire new actions.
Make it a dialogue, if necessary. Feedback sessions shouldn't be a monologue; they should be conversations with input from all involved. Rather than using "you" constantly, using "we" will help reassure the person receiving the feedback that they're supported.
Thank the person for their time and for being willing to provide input as well.
Let the person know what will happen next in terms of additional support or any follow-up sessions.
Advice the person what you're going to do to help them succeed.
End on a positive note, whenever possible.
Receiving and giving feedback is one of the most powerful techniques to ensure goals are achieved and people feel a sense of pride or accomplishment in what they're doing. The better we get at giving or receiving feedback, the better our performance and results will be.
Action Step: Practice these ideas on providing feedback with a team member or someone you work with regularly. The aim is to get comfortable providing feedback first, then share these ideas with someone else and ask them to provide you with feedback.
Question: What is another technique or practice that can be used to provide feedback to someone without offending them?

Alexandre is on the left one .
I chose China to study KungFu because I thought that a larger part of the training for beginners would be focused on the mind compared to other martial arts.What motivated me was that I wanted to change myself, become a stronger and better person.
And I spent three years in learning Chines kung fu at Kunyu mountain Shaolin Kung fu academy.My greatest gain is strength, not only physical but strength of mind, having more resolve and being strong enough to try to stand by my ideas and beliefs. This strength comes not only from training but also from the people around you.
You get influenced by everyone, willingly or not. But the greatest influences were Master Guo, Master Liu, and all the students/brothers/sisters that I bonded with and that helped me during 3 years. The list is very long so I will just sum it up that way, the people I refer to will recognize themselves.
It's a very good place for beginners and short/long term students.The masters are more than qualified to teach martial arts, the translators are usually very helpful and competent.
The academy is located in a nice and refreshing place, quite secluded but you get a lot of nature and good air to breathe, which is what a lot of people look for.
Alexandre in Hongkong Kung fu competition.
PS.He attended many international Kung fu Championship includes Hongkong,Zhejing province,Tsingdao,Dalian,Yantai ,etc and achieved excellent records,who also is one of excellent student in Kunyu mountain academy.


Catch the Halloween spirit with this chic spiderweb poncho. Kit includes Herrschners Worsted 8 Halloween Shimmer yarn and easy crochet instructions. 80" (203cm) circumference. Imported.
"Very cute pattern, but the pattern is full of errors. The increase mentioned in most rounds should be 24, not 12. I know they are already working on fixing the pattern and sending updates, so that's good. The yarn in the kit is ok - probably not something I would pick in the store, but it's ok. It is not center pull and had a lot of breaks in it. And I didn't have enough black yarn to finish - they are sending me another, so that is great! I think the product will be very cute when done!"
"nice pattern and easy to work but anyone soups be aware there is a mistake in the pattern starting with round 13. prior to that you have a round and then an increase so the next round goes up by one in number of stitches. round 13 mistakenly continues the same stitch number as increase round 12 (8 rather than 9) and that error is continued for rest of pattern through round 28. if you don't noticed this tour stitches will be off starting in round 13! once you figure that out its easy"


It is no question that planning to save and pay for your child's education can be daunting. Every financial representative will have different methods and plans of attack for you to save the most for your children because every family financial situation is different. One effective and popular form of saving for a child's education is a 529 plan. A 529 plan is a tax-advantaged savings plan designed to encourage saving for future education costs. 529 plans, legally known as "qualified tuition plans," are sponsored by states, state agencies, or educational institutions. Below is an outline of when you should consider opening a 529 plan for your child.
It is never too early to invest for your child. Some people even open plans when they are pregnant in order to begin the savings. You only have 18 years to save for them so why not start right away. There is also no harm in saving even if your child does not go to college. The beneficiary can be changed to another child if they decide not to go. Or you can always hold it in case they may just put it off for another time. Worst case scenario is that you take the money out and are subject to the 10% federal tax penalty. This isn't the best option but it's also not the end of the world.
So it is already obvious that saving needs to happen for your child's education. But why invest in a 529 plan? The first reason is that these plans for specifically designed for children. They were created for the very reason of saving for education. The returns on 529 plans are good as well. Historically the return rates on these types of plans are 6-7% and you often have a lot of investment options to match your risk level. Because they were designed for education there are many tax benefits for the money you are saving.
There are tax benefits such as earnings grow on the tax-deferred basis and qualifying educational expenses are tax-free. Saving with a 529 Plan also saves you money because of their low costs. For most 529 plans, the underlying fund expenses are very low, especially compared to other alternatives, which comes with extremely high costs and hidden broker commissions. Also these plans have parental control which allows them to call the shots. Family members and friends are also able to contribute which can help in your savings goals.
Looking into a 529 plan for your child's educational savings is beneficial to you and your family. Start saving right away with its tax benefits and low costs. Check out U-Nest to get help establishing a monthly contribution plan and keep track if your savings on the go!


In Japan, there is a custom called Mamemaki for Setsubun which involves oni (ogres) and throwing of beans to drive away evil spirits and bad luck. Every year, the kids get scared out of their minds by these oni and parents across the country warn their kids to be good or else the oni will come for them. Aaaah, traditions.


80% of natural and organic consumers (so we are talking a specialty group already, not the public at large) regularly read labels for ingredient and nutrition information and are interested in purchasing functional foods with added health benefits. 39% checked off that they were very interested in functional foods.
In terms of those functional foods with added benefits, 44% have an eye out for calcium (hmm, I think many of you dairy-free foodies may be in this category), 44% want more Omega-3's, 43% like antioxidants, 38% seek out tummy taming probiotics and probiotics, and 30% are on the Vitamin D bandwagon.
Among the natural and organic consumers surveyed, 65% expressed a strong desire for foods with organic ingredients, 47% seek low sodium products, 39% look for low fat and low cholesterol grocery items, and 31% are on a vegetarian mission.
So what about those allergen-free shoppers? Mambo Sprouts didn't forget us in their survey … in fact 1 in 3 natural product consumers are on the hunt for allergen-free foods. 25% of shoppers report looking for gluten-free / wheat-free foods, 9% of us want dairy-free foods, 6% have the daunting task of looking for soy-free foods, while 4% must avoid peanuts.
Though I am well aware of the rise in Celiac disease diagnoses, I was a bit surprised by the high number of gluten-free food seeking consumers, who seem to be on the hunt for bread, cereal, chips, snacks, and pasta mostly. At first I wondered if the incidence of Celiac disease was rising even more quickly than we realize, but it seems there are many reasons why consumers are leaning toward gluten-free foods. 43% of gluten-free shoppers simply feel that gluten-free products are healthier for their family, and 36% said it was simply because their favorite brands were gluten-free already. Just 34% of gluten-free consumers (not that this is a small number in the grand scheme of things) have a household member with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. The study actually state "wheat intolerance" so I am not sure if that 34% included both gluten intolerance and wheat allergies.
But, we are an eco-conscious bunch too. 40% have recently tried a new brand or switched brands, specifically because it had more earth friendly packaging; 66% bought products made of recycled materials, and 44% picked up items with compostable/biodegradable packaging.
Keep in mind, this was a relatively small survey, completed by 600 natural product consumers in April, 2010, so the numbers may have some variance.
Personally, I obviously seek out dairy-free foods, but I also purchase soy-free foods – not for an allergy, but simply because I prefer my soy in "pure" form such as tofu, rather than loading up on it in packaged foods. I eat gluten-free a lot, but don't necessarily seek it out in stores. I confess that since I buy few packaged foods, and most of those brands are eco-conscious themselves, I haven't paid much attention to packaging, but may keep a better eye out now. I'm actually not a fan of functional foods, though I don't bypass a food simply because it contains them, I just don't seek them out. Oh yes, and I always read ingredient statements (always!), but the nutrition label with fat, calories, etc. is of lesser importance to me.
So what about you? Where do your shopping habits fall in these categories? Give me your feedback! Are there other natural food shopping habits you have that may not have been addressed here?
I feel like what doesn't get mentioned is looking for unprocessed foods in general. For instance, I won't buy packaged products with refined wheats or sugars, which is still difficult even in places such as Whole Foods. Places such as Trader Joe's are FILLED with processed foods despite trying to claim that it's all healthy, and I still shop there but that's the main thing I look for. Oh and when it comes to dairy I try to buy grass fed only but that's also really difficult.
This is really interesting information. Thank you for sharing it. Regarding gluten – I fall in the category of non-celiac gluten intolerant, though, honestly, it was by trial and error that my naturopath and I came to that conclusion. My single biggest symptom is joint stiffness, followed by anxiety. Digestive upset is only a distant third in terms of reactions, so it took a long time to establish the first two were related to gluten (as opposed to any number of things). Perhaps people are more in tune with their reactions to food than before? Also, someone looking for whole grain alternatives who does not like whole wheat could be buying brown rice pasta for reasons that have nothing to do with wheat or gluten intolerance.
I totally agree with Sara. I'm on a anti-Candida overgrowth/Primal type diet (gluten sensitive)and so I never eat processed foods and haven't for five years. I use a lot of super foods like chia, hemp, maca, flax, ect. Unfortunately, as hard as I've tried, my family still does eat all that processed crap. I really wish they would start to manufacture more gluten-free foods that are also sugar-free (but no splenda!!). So for my family I always try to find as much gluten-free and organic/non-GMO brands as I can, which can be difficult. Like you said though, it is getting a little easier and the more we request them the more they will produce. I also like to shop online at vitacost.com, they have a large organic food section and it is only $4.99 flat rate to ship. For grass-fed beef I use tallgrassbeef.com, they run specials on the ground beef.

Family moved to Hawaii days before volcano erupted

Posted: May 26, 2018 8:16 AM
The Parr family had one dream: move from Santa Cruz, California, to Hawaii and live a simpler life.
The family made the leap over the Pacific Ocean by selling their house in Santa Cruz and moving onto a macadamia nut farmon Hawaii's Big Island near Pahoa.
Days later, earthquakes began rumbling, lava bubbled up through cracks, and the Kilauea volcano erupted.
Their new home was destroyed.
Jon Parr, who owns an aquaponics consulting business, spent the past decade preparing to move his family to Hawaii.
"It closed escrow just two weeks before the eruption. So we had lived there precisely two weeks," Parr said.
In the days after moving in, Parr returned to the mainland for work. But his wife, Zusje, was still in Pahoa. Following the quakes, came the cracks. Zusje and their youngest son were given just hours to evacuate their new home in Lanipuna Gardens near Leilani estates. With no place to go on the island, the Parrs moved back to a rental house in Monterey.
From California, the family watched on television as lava consumed their dream house.
"My mom was having a really hard time, so that has kind of been the hardest part, is just watching my parents have a hard time with losing everything," said the Parr's eldest son, T.J. Parr.
The family paid cash for the property buying the farm in a foreclosure sale. They then spent the rest of their savings making the home and rental unit livable.
"It caught us at the bottom, I mean from the top of the game when the dream's come true, to the bottom," said Parr.
The Parrs have a homeowners policy but the damage isn't covered. The property sits in Lava Zone 1 where it is almost impossible to get lava insurance. The Parrs had secured a policy with lava coverage but per the fine print it doesn't kick in for another six months.
Jon Parr said he knew buying a house in Pahoa was a risk but his house was built in 1908 and sits on a ridge. He thought they'd be okay unless a fissure opened right beneath the property.
Fissure No. 20, the most voluminous of the fissures currently spewing lava, opened about 200 feet from his home.
"We kind of figured it would be like taking a walk while there was a storm outside, you could get hit by lightening but you probably won't, and until you get hit by lightening you never think it will happen to you," he said.
The family eventually wants to try again in Hawaii. Friends and family of the Parrs have started a Go Fund Me account to help with the financial losses. As of Thursday, the Go Fund Me page had raised more than $18,000.

It has barely been a week since Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez became a household name after defeating long-time incumbent Senator Joe Crowley, Democratic Caucus Chair, for New York's 14th Congressional District.
Prior to that defeat, few people outside the Bronx had heard of this 28-year old intellect. Well, perhaps a few in Washington had heard of her. She had interned for Ted Kennedy and worked for Bernie Sander's campaign. So she wasn't a complete unknown.
Still, out here on the West Coast, we didn't know her.
Every day since she won, Cortez had made media rounds, appearing on nearly every major talk/news show. Since her win, I have listened to several of her interviews. Perhaps it's because I have three daughters that my mother instinct rises on its haunches as I've listened to some of the questions put to Cortez, or read some of the news headlines and articles, or even read the Tweets attacking Cortez. Or maybe it's because at age 61, I have had my fill of the biases inherent in media when it comes to women candidates.
I've been around long enough to remember all the early interviews with Hillary Clinton and to see how journalists even way back then tainted the public's view of her and some continue to do so even today. As a journalist myself, I know how it is all about the word choice and the way a headline is written or a photo is used.
That Cortez is outside the white man's version of mainstream is no surprise. Her name alone gives her away: Puerto-Rican. Catholic. Bronx-born.
If that wasn't enough to make white men who run the newsrooms across America hitch up their biases, Cortez identifies as a Democratic Socialist.
I'm not going to give a history lesson here on the origins of the word or how the term has evolved. You can look those things up yourself and you should.
I had a mentor teacher who used to say, "Meanings are in people, not in words." At 19, I had no idea what my mentor was trying to say. Now, of course, I get it.
The words we choose matter because of the meanings that people associate with those words.
When I finished the Karly Sheehan story, I wrote an email to several "influencers." In the book world, that means people who can help a book along. I had spent five years writing about child abuse, and had conducted a great deal of research. I included that research in my email in which I urged these "influencers" to please help promote the book. I didn't find out until a couple of years later that one of those "influencers" – a fellow author and blogger in the faith world – was completely offended by my email because she thought I was talking down to her. An email that I had sent out to dozens of people, she took as a personal affront and attack because I included some of the details of my research. We have never been able to repair the professional relationship because for her, the email was personal. She interpreted the entire email as an attack on her lack of knowledge about abuse.
So, see, it's not just the words we use, it's how people frame or interpret them.
That's why it is so very important for us, especially us journalists and writers, to be very intentional about what words we use.
And because I know how intentional news folks are about messaging, I question the way the mainstream media is approaching Cortez.
Headline after headline, news anchor after news anchor, interviewer after interviewer has attempted to put Cortez on the defensive by bringing up her identity as a "Democratic Socialist." White men are doing this to undermine this 28-year old intellect. They are doing this to "put her in her place." The thing the old guard likes least is a young person who is smarter and more articulate than them. The only thing they like even less than that is when that person is a woman of color.
Why do we not call Trump a "hyper-authoritarian capitalist"? Cortez said, noting that labels are used to instill fear because every politician understands a fearful voter is controlled more easily than a voter who educates themselves.
The problem though is that people in power want to stay in power. We can't have affordable housing for everyone because that might mean instead of living in a 25,000 square foot home, a rich guy might have to give up 5,000 square feet. It means that poor kids would have equal access to education and then we might end up with more Cortezes running the show instead of McConnells. It might mean the end of the reign of mighty WASPs. It might mean more Catholics in office. It might mean more women of color and less white men in Congress.
So the headlines have been screaming about a split in the Democratic party – progressives versus traditionalists. (Remember who writes those headlines, btw. White men in power.) As if there isn't an ever-widening chasm between Trump cultists and old-school McCain Republicans. Where are the headlines about that? Huh?
There's an art to demeaning women candidates. Old people won't support a candidate like Cortez, the headlines holler. Her brand of politics won't fly in the MidWest, claim some of the old guard. I'd like to point out that the old guard's particular brand of politics and policy isn't doing so well in the MidWest. Or among us folks who remember the way the media raked Hillary over the coals when she pushed for universal health care back when we were Cortez's age.
Bottom line is that being an intelligent, intentional, articulate woman candidate isn't good enough for media corporations. Media is still throwing its collective weight behind the good ole boys club that has controlled Washington for far too long.
Cortez is exactly the sort of people we need more of in every branch of our government.
Not just a woman for a woman's sake.
But a woman who is intelligent. Articulate. Kind. Ambitious. Moral. And, yes, very intentional.
I don't care what label media, both liberal and conservative, put on it, that's the sort of candidate I want to see more of and will vote for everytime.

"Blood In The Woods" : A Novel by JP Willie (2017) – A Horror And Sons Book Review
Date: March 9, 2018Author: Horror And Sons 1 Comment
Joe P Willie is an active duty Sergeant First Class in the United States Army, having served two combat tours in Afghanistan. As his first novel, Blood in the Woods (recently published by Hellbound Books), proves, he's also a highly talented author that horror readers (and even non-horror readers) will surely want to keep a bloodshot eye on in the years to come. Sergeant Willie is also a screenwriter and producer whose first independent film, Welcome Home, Rougarou, wrapped shooting in December 2017. The film is currently in post-production with a scheduled release date of May 2018.
Blood in the Woods is based on true events. Yes, you have seen those words said about countless books and films. In most cases, these projects are so loosely based on one specific facet of a real-life event that saying they're based on "true events" is almost a downright lie. In this particular case, large portions of the story are an autobiographical account of Sgt. Willie's life, albeit with a few elements of 2005's Hosanna Church scandal thrown in to create suspense and help ground the events on the side of fiction.
For those unfamiliar with those events, the town of Ponchatoula, Louisiana was shocked by the revelation of years of sexual abuse against children, bestiality, and animal sacrifice being carried on within the church by a faction of its own members and leaders, including the church's pastor. The accusations were brought forth by the pastor himself, who would also later confess to allowing his own sons to be sexually assaulted by the other members of what he described as a "devil worshiping" sect within the church, but which the media would label as a "Satanic cult". Neither description is quite accurate.
Older readers will also undoubtedly remember the wave of "Satanic Panic" frequently showcased by news outlets of the 1980's, with most of the "blame" usually being thrown at heavy metal music (and the "subliminal messages" hidden within), violent horror films, and (for whatever reason, I've never understood) Dungeons & Dragons. Born from the fears of Christian conservatives and fueled by media propaganda, the "pandemic" was even the topic of a "very special" episode of Geraldo Rivera's highly successful and controversial "talk" show in 1988. The episode even features an appearance from the era's "poster boy" of evil influence….. "The Prince of Fucking Darkness", Ozzy Osbourne. (Link included for interested viewers.)
Blood in the Woods opens in Sgt. Willie's home town of Hammond, Louisiana in the summer of 1975. (Well, of course it does. A lot of this story is about him, after all.) Young Jerry Jones Jr. and his three friends, who happen to all be brothers, decide to venture into some nearby woods in search of a hidden graveyard so that they can brag to their friends and classmates about what "big men" they are for hanging out in such a place.
The graveyard quickly proves to be a doorway to terror for the boys. The nightmare begins with the boys finding the tattered remains of multiple dead crows. Some of the birds have had their eyes gouged out, while others are simply beheaded. Voices can be heard from the treeline close by. Jerry and the oldest of the brothers move in for a closer look. Within just a short distance, the boys come upon a group of cloaked figures gathered within a nearby quarry. Despite their attempts at silence, Jerry and his friend alert the figures to their presence. The cloaked figures give chase, but all of the children manage to escape on their bikes.
Jerry Jr. returns home and tells his father and his sister, Gayla, about what he's witnessed. His father, Jerry Sr., is a "very" involved member of the church committee, and has heard a tale or two about just what goes on in the woods on the nights of a full moon. He knows all too well just what his son has stumbled upon and just who those cloaked figures were. Without revealing what he knows, he authoritatively warns his young son never to play in the woods again. Don't get too attached to Jerry Jr. While nothing unfortunate happens to the boy, he's barely mentioned again.
The timeline then moves ahead to 2008. A soldier returns to his hometown for the funeral of his best friend's sister, Jaime, who was sadly killed in a car accident at a young age. He sits parked outside of the place in which he grew up and starts to recall memories of the girl who was lost, as well as dwelling on the belief that he would die before her. The loss of this connection to his youth, as well as the return to a place that holds memories both fond and fearful, will make him face the past that has haunted him.
The timeline shifts once more, this time back to 1989. As we soon learn, the soldier is Jody Jones, son of Gayla and grandson of Jerry Sr. The contemplative adult that we had previously met is now just a 9-year old boy with ADHD, much like the author himself. While "Jody" is often pictured as "troubled", he's really not that much different from a lot of young boys. Do remember, ADHD wasn't as commonly diagnosed back then, so most kids dealing with these issues were generally labeled as "hyperactive", "problem children", or worse. Then again, there are those that will say that ADHD is nothing more than another bullshit excuse for the pharmaceutical companies to force more pills down your throat. You can form your own opinions on that argument on your own time.
Jody and his younger brother, Hunter, live with their mother in a trailer located on his grandparents' property. His father has been out of the scene for some time now. The author paints a picture of a lower-income upbringing, a single parent needing assistance from her own parents just to survive. Despite these circumstances, Jody and his family live a very happy life; peaceful, outside of the boy's occasional youthful indiscretions.
Jaime and her family had recently moved to Rhine Road, the fairly rural neighborhood that Jody and his family call "home". Knowing each other from little league baseball games, Jody and Jaime's brother, Jack, quickly form a bond that will make the two inseparable for years to come. However, like countless kids with too much free time and lots of space to roam free of parents, the two "blood brothers" also become the "terrors" of the neighborhood. They can often be found shooting street lamps with BB guns, setting off smoke bombs in people's yards and mailboxes, or getting into other destructive, but generally harmless, forms of mayhem.
The first sign of impending trouble comes Jody's way when a neighbor pays his grandfather an unfriendly visit. The man claims that Jody's dog, "Rambo", killed two of the calves on his property. He even claims that the dog tore the hearts right out of their cows' chests. Jerry Sr. knows that the dog is not at fault. He knows just what, or whom, is behind the mutilations. Certain that similar events will recur on the next full moon, the dog is placed in an adoption shelter. That way, when the neighbor returns with the same complaint, there will be no argument as the dog is since long gone. Poor Jody, however, is not told the truth about why his dog must leave.
Indeed, more calves are slaughtered on the night of the next full moon. As expected, the neighbor returns, but is stunned and dismayed when he learns of the dog's fate. Rambo eventually finds his way back to his original owners. However, the celebration is short-lived and Jody is forced to face what will be the first of many losses in the coming years.
Not long after, on the night of another full moon, Jody and his family are alerted to the sound of drums coming from deep inside the woods near their home. The family has no clue who or what is causing the sounds, but it's more than enough to create unease throughout the house. The moment is a powerful narration of a child having to watch his family in fear of the unknown that is awaiting just outside their home.
After Jody and his brother have gone to bed, Jerry Sr. reveals to his daughter that "devil worshipers" have gathered in the woods of Hammond for years, much as Jerry Jr. witnessed all those years prior. He is sure to point out the differences between the "Satanist" and a "devil worshiper". The "Satanist" chooses to indulge in all of the things that bring them pleasure, even though it may be thought as "sinful" or "impure", as long as it brings no harm to others. The "devil worshiper" is usually a sick and twisted soul with no qualms about doing harm.. The Satanist, he says, does not kill in the name of his Lord, while the devil worshiper will kill and rape for their own depraved enjoyment (although they may still say that it is in the name of their chosen savior).
Jerry Sr. begs his daughter to keep her children close, informing her that a 12-year old girl was recently abducted from the nearby town of Albany. The young girl was indeed taken by the devil worshipers. And yes, they do intend to use her for sacrifice. An unsettling sequence from the viewpoint of the unfortunate girl follows, spending a good deal of time detailing the appearance and set-up of the sacrificial "chamber", with its black, dripping candles and pentagrams painted in blood.
Life continues in fairly normal fashion for Jody and his family. That is, until the fateful day that another neighborhood friend named Justin talks Jody into searching for a tractor-trailer rumored to have been abandoned in the woods, conveniently near the home of the young girl that Jody has developed a "crush" on.
The trailer is found, swarming with flies and clouded in the overpowering stench of death and decay. It proves to be the scene of even further horrors when more slaughtered calves are found inside. The walls are adorned with symbols painted with blood, the floors littered with crimson-stained Styrofoam cups. Choking back vomit, they are alerted to the sound of footsteps and breaking branches coming from just a short distance away. The boys flee the scene, but believe they notice a shadowy figure watching from the cover of the trees.
The discovery of the trailer sets off a series of events taking place over the next few years that proves that not only were the boys witnessed, but that the members of the "cult" also know who they are and where they live. What starts with attempts to scare the boys (as well as their family and friends) into silence soon escalates into multiple life-threatening run-ins and instances, although Jody and his friends tend to make matters worse for themselves on at least one occasion.
Despite being filled with suspenseful, action-packed moments carrying dire consequences for Jody, his friends, and his family, Blood In The Woods is a "coming of age" tale at heart…. albeit one featuring bloodthirsty cultists and human sacrifice. Where Willie truly shines as a storyteller is in his ability to write believable child characters. From the way Jody and his peers talk, act, and think, some of the characters remind me of kids that I knew growing up. Or at least they fooled me for a brief time into believing that I did.
The time frame of the late 80's and early 90's fits in with my own pre-teen years (although "Jody" would be a few years younger than I was at that time), which makes the references to music, video games, comics, and movies of the era that much more relative and personal to my own life. The references to Mega Man and Swamp Thing struck a chord with me as I was obsessed with both as a child. Hell, I kinda still am.
As with the stories of most of our childhoods, there are the moments of genuine innocence between the children (as well as with their parents), as well as many moments of innocence lost. There are first loves and first losses. Jody grows before our imagination's eye, hopefully making the reader nostalgic of their own childhood and the friends and family long since gone.
Willie tells the story with a very natural tone and pace, superbly setting the scene with lush descriptions of the neighborhood and the eerie, threatening darkness of the woods surrounding it. Even something as seemingly mundane as the moss growing on a long disused basketball hoop helps set the "mood" of not only a quiet road, but the possible danger waiting just in the distance.
But, hey… this is a "horror" site and that's what you came to hear about, right? Well, don't fret! Blood In The Woods offers up a healthy dose of scares and shocks, as well as a few side dishes of blood and gore that are sure to please most horror readers. A few folks do die, and more than a few animals are killed as well…. and not all at the hands of our devil worshiping psychopaths! The novel also features a few graphic moments of violence and sexual abuse against children, but these are not handled in an overly exploitative way. There's also at least one gruesome moment that I'm sure any seasoned splatter film effects artist would love to attempt to duplicate on film.
However, most of the "horror" comes from the uncertainties that Jody, and those around him, must now face. This includes the "horrors" of life, such as having to say goodbye to those we love, as well as the "true" horrors of never knowing if someone is waiting right around the next corner, ready to jump out and grab you, and just what they will do with you once you are theirs. There is also the "fear" of not knowing if your loved ones will have to suffer by paying the price for you.
While Blood In The Woods is an exceptional work from a highly talented storyteller, the novel unfortunately does feature one highly noticeable flaw. Due to some failings from the editing staff, Blood In The Woods is the victim of multiple glaring typos, mostly within the early pages. An entire word has been omitted in one instance. I'm sure "Grammar Nazi" types will have a field day pointing out the errors. It's a shame that an otherwise stellar work is marred by these oversights.
Blood In The Woods is available through Hellbound Books, and is available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle editions. This one comes with a hearty (pun intended) recommendation, especially to horror fans with young children of their own. There is no doubt that the story will have you keeping a closer eye on them and to where they may venture off. More significantly, Blood In The Woods may have you reflecting on memories from of your own childhood, reliving long-lost moments with family and friends, and questioning if maybe someone was watching you from the cover of darkness.
Blood In The Woods is available in both paperback and Kindle version on Amazon. It can be found on the Horror And Sons's Recommendations page: https://www.amazon.com/shop/horrorandsons

Jason Griffiths grew up in Africa and rural England. His involvement in architecture began in a medieval home that he helped his father restore throughout his teens. He graduated as an architect with a distinction from the Bartlett in 1994 and began a career that mixed practice with teaching and competition work. After his first competition win he was invited to teach with Sir Peter Cook on the Bartlett's M. Arch Course. course. Throughout the 90s he built a portfolio of competition prizes and teaching positions in London and Oxford. He taught with David Greene for two years and held visiting positions at ESTAM in Madrid.
A growing interest in the importance of "ordinary" architecture led him to leave the UK in 2002 and to conduct an 8-month road journey across the US and Mexico with his partner Alex Gino. In 2007 he was invited to publish his writing and photography by the Architectural Association firstly through the AA Files then as book. In 2011 "Manifest Destiny – A Guide to the Essential Indifference of American Suburban Housing" was published and quickly received the Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM) award at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Shortly afterwards Los Angeles Times critic Christopher Hawthorne included it in "2011 year in review: Best in Architecture" stating Jason "miraculously finds new language to describe the eternally affectless qualities of gated communities and tract housing."
Jason's writing is paralleled with a long career in teaching and small architectural commissions. He specializes in design build projects that combine digital fabrication and social engagement with graduate and undergraduate teaching. Jason Griffiths' own practice (see also) is based on a multidisciplinary approach to architecture working through buildings, competitions, public art, writing and photography. His work investigates the relationship between "normative" forms and architecture often through digital fabrication techniques. Built work includes The Lowest House in the Mojave Desert, Siouxland Transit Bus Stops, K-Zell Metalworks, The Political Ply Shade Canopy and Scottsdale Arts Camera Obscura's among others. Many projects result from collaborative work with his Integral Studio as an Assistant Professor at the Herberger Institute, Arizona State University, Phoenix, Arizona. Jason recently completed public furniture installations for the City of Tempe and an exhibition at Project Row Houses in Houston and writes regularly for uncube magazine.

Rowley Jefferson's Journal
Get ready for a whole new look into Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid! Introducing the newest Wimpy Kid author - Rowley Jefferson! Rowley's best friend Greg Heffley has been chronicling his middle-school years in 13 Diary of a Wimpy Kid journals...and counting. But it's finally time for listeners to hear directly from Rowley in a journal of his own. Rowley writes about his experiences and agrees to play the role of biographer for Greg along the way. But Rowley is a poor choice for the job, and his "biography" of Greg is a hilarious mess.

Muslims perform their prayers by facing the Qibla —or the direction to the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The direction of the Qibla is traditionally determined from the direction to the Sun when the Sun is directly overhead the Kaaba. If during the time the Sun is visible, it will indicate the direction of the Qibla.
If the results of the observation are drawn on the so-called 'flat-Earth map', the Qibla will not consistently point to the Kaaba. Only the calculation using the spherical Earth model will give us consistent results that conform to centuries of observation, from various locations on Earth. The reason is that the Earth is a sphere.
The Sun will be directly overhead Mecca on May 27-28 at 9:18 GMT and on July 15-16 at 9:27 GMT. During these times, if the Sun is visible from any location on Earth, the direction to the Sun will be the same as the direction of the Qibla.
If the Sun is not visible from a location, the Qibla can be determined from the direction of the Sun when it is overhead the antipode of Mecca. During the time, the direction away from the Sun will be the same as the direction of the Qibla. This happens on January 12-13 at 21:29 GMT and on November 28 at 21:09 GMT.
Today, a lot of Muslims use technology to determine the Qibla. Various online calculators and mobile apps for determining the Qibla rely on calculations using the spherical Earth model. And not just the Qibla: the times of prayer, the start of Ramadan, and determining the time of an eclipse prayer in advance; all require the correct understanding of spherical Earth.
In a way, it can be said that Islamic rituals depend on the correct understanding that Earth is a sphere. Even if some Muslims claim that the Earth is flat, how they perform their religious rituals tells us otherwise.


Bruce Greenwald, David Winters, Tom Russo, And Bob Olstein On Bloomberg Tv Part. This is Part II of the interview, part I is here . Kudos to Sandesh Trivedi of sandeshtrivedi.blogspot.com for finding the video.
In Part II the gurus talk about their best picks over the best 18 months. The gurus also discuss their thoughts on Warren Buffett's purchase of BNI. We already know from previous remarks that Bruce Greenwald thought it was a bad deal. He confirmed this in my recent interview with him in late February of this year.
The interviewees also talk about avoiding value traps like Enron, or AIG.
I will post part III shortly.

Conflict resolution centre is leading think tank
27 January 2009 | Story by Newsroom
Leading edge: Dr Adekeye Adebajo, executive director of the Centre for Conflict Resolution, sub-Saharan Africa's leading think tank according to a University of Pennsylvania survey.
The Centre for Conflict Resolution (CCR) is sub-Saharan Africa's leading think tank according to a survey conducted by the University of Pennsylvania's Think Tanks and Civil Societies Programme.
It is the first survey of its kind and included 5 500 organisations in 170 countries.
The CCR was established in 1968 and is affiliated to UCT.
The results of the Think Tank Index survey were published in the Foreign Policy magazine in Washington DC. "This is a great honour as we had set out to become the leading pan-African organisation in our field five years ago," said Dr Adekeye Adebajo, who joined the CCR as executive director in October 2003.
The CCR is also the only African organisation listed among the top 50 think tanks globally.
In an article in Foreign Policy Dr James McGann, director of UP's Think Tanks and Civil Societies Programme, wrote: "Far more than simply churning out endless papers, think tanks generate and fine-tune solutions to some of the most complex and vexing issues of the day."
Of the survey he says: "Think of it as an insider's guide to the competitive marketplace for ideas that matter."

Mar de Copas é uma banda de rock peruana formada em Lima, em 1992. A crítica peruana a considera uma "banda de culto" pela quantidade de fãs, ou "seguidores", que atraiu desde seu surgimento. É uma das bandas de rock mais importantes do Peru.
Sua formação original foi com Luis "Wicho" García (vocal), José Manuel "Manolo" Barrios (Guitarra, vocal e backin'), Eduardo "Toto" Leverone (Bateria e percussão), Félix Torrealva (Baixo), Phoebe Condos (Teclado e backin') e Claudia Salem (Backin'). Posteriormente a banda passaria a contar com César Zamalloa como baixista no lugar de Torrealva. Claudia Salem deixou a banda em 2005, entrando em seu lugar Rocío Madueño, o qual tornou-se também tecladista.

Seguindo as influências do New Wave das décadas de 60 e 70, o pós-punk britânico e o pop espanhol dos anos 80, Mar de Copas acabou por criar um estilo próprio inconfundível de música melódica e romântica, tomando como temas centrais de suas canções o amor,desamor, o esquecimento, a solidão. Deste modo, muitos qualificam o estilo da banda como um "Rock romântico-depressivo".

A Banda
Em 1992, Barrios e Leverone começaram a compor as primeiras canções de seu primeiro disco, homônimo da banda. Eram tempos em que pouco se apostava no rock no cenário peruano.

Em seguida, a banda lançou cinco discos ("Mar de Copas" em 1993, "Entre los Arboles" em 1994, "III" em 1997, "Suna" em 1999 e "Si Algo Así Como El Amor Esta En El Aire" em 2004), além de duas coletâneas, um disco duplo ao vivo, um single/multimedia, um acústico e um DVD (então novidade no rock do Peru).

Entre as principais canções que asseguraram o sucesso do grupo em seu país estão "Mujer noche", "Fugitivo", "Prisión", "Dulce y veloz", "Entre los árboles", "Prendí otro fuego por ella", "Tras esa puerta", "País de tus sueños", "LB", "Al pasar de las horas", "A Dios", "Despedida", "Enloqueciendo", "Suna", "La máquina del tiempo", "Adiós amor", "Ramera", "Si algo así como el amor está en el aire", "Balada de un encuentro fugaz", "Perdido", "Llévame", "Un día sin sexo", entre outras.

I totally disagree when I hear statements like "I am a self-made millionaire or man or woman" as the case may be. Is there anyone who has succeeded without being helped?
Well, without any apologies I belong to that school of thought that believes in the place of grace. Not just any grace but the grace of God Almighty who many refuse to believe exists or have stopped believing. I am of the opinion that everything I have today is courtesy of a loving God. I am sure you may be wondering what CFA is driving at?
It's simple! I want to see my mentor and friend Yele Okeremi, CEO, Precise Financial Systems to succeed and that is why I am taking it upon myself to play a role by asking you to complete a survey required for his thesis.
Wisdom nugget: we can all use a little help, never be afraid or shy to ask for help when you need.
May I then be the first to follow the advice in this quote by requesting that you complete this survey.
The data gathered is for academic purpose only, hence information provided would be treated with utmost confidentiality.
Note to worry I would share more about my relationship with this gentleman sometime in the future but for now I need you to do this for me. We need 200 IT entrepreneurs to make this happen and luckily we have close to 150 entrepreneurs who have already completed theirs but please be one of them. Click here to complete yours.
Trust me, this is simply a cool example of how a 5 minutes activity can make a whole lost of difference.
