As someone who suffers from migraines, it is extremely important for me to read the ingredient panel of foods that I eat. If you have been following my blog, you probably know my struggle with eating healthy, especially when I travel with my dog, Dexter. Even if I'm not concerned with eating healthy, I try to avoid food with preservatives. I've learned over the years, that if some of these preservatives are in my food, particularly if I eat a lot of foods back to back with preservatives, I will have an intense migraine. And for those that are unfamiliar with the pain of a migraine, let me just say it feels like a knife is inside my head, scraping the sides of my skull. Yeah, not pleasant.
Because of our active lifestyles and wanting food quickly and wanting food to last forever, manufacturers have turned to preservatives. There are some natural food preservatives such as salt, lemon juice, vinegar, cloves, oregano, and rosemary extract, to name a few. Unfortunately, the majority of food companies lean toward the synthetic chemical preservatives such as benzoates (sodium benzoate and benzoic acid), nitrites (sodium nitrite), sulphites (sulphur dioxide), and sorbates (sodium sorbate and potassium sorbate).
Other synthetic food flavoring agents include monosodium glutamate (MSG), disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate. I'm not sure why anyone would want to add a synthetic flavor to a food product when food with fresh herbs and spices can be so tasty!
Synthetic preservatives and synthetic flavors have been shown to have various side effects. People may experience migraines, heart palpitations, contact rashes, and allergic responses, and some of these synthetic preservatives and flavors have even been linked to cancer. Read more.
These are unnecessary risks when we have alternatives. It's one thing to have these chemicals in adult food products, but they are also widely accepted in children's food, baby food, and pet food and pet treats. Babies, kids, and pets are not able to read ingredient labels and make choices for themselves—that is OUR responsibility. It is something I try to avoid in my personal life and a 100% no in a product for a creature I'm responsible for. So please, read the ingredient panels of all your food and drink products, and make an educated choice. And when it comes to your children and pets…..please just say no.
Do you read the entire ingredient label in your pet's products? Tell me in the comments.
Great post, preservatives are no good for pets or humans. Its sad how much we rely on them though to keep our food "fresh" or "looking" fresh.
Thank you. Yes, the looking fresh thing is crazy too!
Thank you for sharing Tonya. As you may remember, I'm a migraine sufferer also. I try and soak up all the information I can in hopes of fighting off this debilitating condition. I have been trying to avoid preservatives and such since learning from you and your previous articles on how these can affect us. The dangers of additives in foods and other products are real. It seems most companies don't care about our health so they use the cheapest and easiest way to preserve food and other products. It really is up to us to look out for ourselves. It is absolutely our responsibility to try and be informed so we can help keep our pets healthy and safe.
Hi, Barbara. Yes, I totally remember your migraines. To think about what these things are doing to our bodies to cause such pain. It's scary. I so want to eat fresh food daily, but it's still a challenge. I will keep trying!
Travelling is a change. I find my dog doesn't want to eat his regular food so I often give him, well, what I consider doggie 'junk food.' I figure, if I'm eating fast food for a day or two, he'll be ok. Until we get home. Then we're both back on a diet.
Interesting. It sounds like he may be stressed?
I try to only feed my family whole foods, and try to avoid preservatives! I am FAIRLY experienced with reading food labels – having had type 1 diabetes for 45 years of my life BUT I admit these days there are so many things to look out for, it gets hard! When it comes to pet food … it's even HARDER! I try to feed only top quality foods but even those have things in them I would not want to feed my pets. Thanks for more clarity on what to look out for in this post!
Thanks, Joely. It really is challenging. I was going to buy "natural chicken breast" in the store and when I read the ingredients, there were other things like carrageenan in it! I mean, it was raw chicken breast, I was shocked and very upset.
We feed al-natural food and treats without preservatives. I try to keep chemicals out of their systems as much as possible. Thanks for all of the information.
Thank you, Ruth. I'm doing pretty darn good with the pets, it's me that's a challenge. I have to keep trying.
What a great and important post! Bigger, better, faster is not the way to go when it comes to our food, in my honest opinion. For dog food and treats I always read the label first and some labels scare me with their long list of ingredients so I just pass on those. Better to be safe than sorry.
Thank you. Yes, pet food is pretty tough. Not too many brands out there that are actually healthy. I make Dexter's and 1/2 the time for the cats, the other 1/2 split between a nice raw diet or a high-quality canned, which is a challenge to find.
I definitely read the labels of my dogs' food. I read labels of what I eat as well, but I must confess I'm not real good at watching the things I eat. My dogs probably eat better than we do! Thanks for sharing this information, especially the names of both natural and synthetic preservatives. It's really helpful.
Sure thing. I'm 100% sure my pets eat better than me. I'm horrible with me, but really trying. I know I need to at least avoid the preservatives to avoid the knife in the skull.
Reading labels can be so overwhelming and discouraging for both people and dogs. However, I do try to do it. Fortunately, there are more natural alternatives these days.
It can be hard. I know my pets only have me, so I do it carefully. Me, I need to do better for me.
There are so many additives in pet foods today, this is another reason we feed raw – I know exactly what my cats are eating and the quality of their food.
I totally agree! I home cook for Dexter 99% and raw, home cooked or canned for the cats. Only a few canned cat foods I would feed.
I'm sad to say that I wasn't always much of a label reader, but I am reading labels now! One of my kids used to get terrible migraines and that really started me down the path of checking ingredients.
I am sorry for your child. I get it. I know growing up I was loaded with bad foods. Not that my family meant too, it's the manufacturers that need to step up their game.
I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease two years ago and I believe one of the biggest problems is not the wheat, barley, or rye, but the way we tend to process the grains.
So sorry to hear. You are probably right! That's why a lot of dogs are allergic to chicken, it's processed cheaply in dog food in unsavory ways.
Great post! This is something I am always telling people about their pet food! Feeding a food free of any artificial preservatives is so worth it.
Preservatives can be such a tricky thing! My mother-in-law gets sick from certain food preservatives too. I should probably be more discerning about them, but for financial reasons, I'm not always as picky as I would like to be. I do the best I can at the time.
Generally, I figure that if I recognize all the ingredients, we're good. Mr. N is super picky so he likes very meaty treats which tend to not have a lot of things in them.


HuffPo reports that Arkansas intended to cast 37, not 47, votes for Obama. Oops.
New Jersey just went unanimously for Obama, however; and California passed; in a process that, if it goes according to tradition, will allow Obama's home state of Illinois to push Obama over the edge.

Q: UISplitViewController - How to add a view over the top? I want to add a view controller over the top of a UISplitViewController so that I can sit a horizontal iAd iPad banner across both views in the splitview.
Is this possible? It has to be a uiviewcontroller for the ADBannerView to be happy.

A: I know that this question is almost 2 years old, but I have found on apple examples the solution for this problem:
Here you can find the SplitViewBanner example that shows how to add a ADBannerView and a UISplitViewController to another view controller.

A: Yes, this should be possible. This isn't the cleanest way but I have added a view to the keyWindow, like this: [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] addSubview:someView];. This guarantees that it'll be the top-most view.
Another thing to consider is changing the frame of the UISplitViewController. Make it just tall enough to fit an ADBannerView underneath.

A: I think Apple have moved all their examples to here.
Also, I found this much simpler code in the AdBannerView Class Reference to deal with AdBanners that don't fit the view:
ADBannerView *myBannerView = <#Get a banner view#>;
UIView *myContainingView = <#Get the containing view#>;
NSSize newBannerSize = [myBannerView sizeThatFits:myContainingView];
[myBannerView setBounds:newBannerSize];

Census Bureau officials yesterday urged against adjusting the 2000 Census to compensate for people who were missed, dashing the hopes of Democrats and civil rights leaders that such an adjustment could be used in redrawing political boundaries.
Some Democrats urged the Census Bureau to release adjusted numbers anyway, so states could consider using them for redistricting even if they were not the figures deemed more accurate by the bureau.
But census officials say they could not rely on the survey as the basis for adjusting census figures because they were troubled about possible statistical errors and discrepancies with other official documents, such as birth, death and immigration records.
In 1902, the Census Bureau was established as part of the Department of the Interior.
The Census Bureau has led in the development and use of technology for the collection and distribution of large data sets.
In 1902 the Bureau of the Census was established in the Dept. of the Interior; the following year it was transferred to the Dept. of Commerce and Labor and remained in the Dept. of Commerce when the Dept. of Labor was separated (1913).
Adjusting the 1980 census of population and housing.
Unadjusted census figures are generally believed to favor Republicans in the drawing of districts for the House of Representatives.
Census Bureau Director Martha Farnsworth Riche's announcement Jan. 12 that she will resign effective Jan. 30 deepened concerns among some Republicans over the bureau's plans for the 2000 census.
The surprise departure of the head of the Census Bureau further complicates the 2000 census, which is already clouded by partisan controversy in Congress over how to get the most accurate population count.
An undercount was evident in the 1990 census.
Census geographic entities are organized by the U.S. Bureau of the Census into hierarchies for tabulating and reporting statistics.
The Census Bureau identifies and tabulates data for the urban and rural populations and their associated areas solely for the presentation and comparison of census statistical data.
These entities include a range of geography from census blocks (the smallest and most numerous type of geographic entity) to an entity for the entire United States.
The Census Bureau is so hesitant about the figures that it said it would not assume any responsibility for their accuracy or help interpret them.
But the bureau said it doubted the accuracy of the results because they differed significantly from the Census itself and from estimates based on birth, death and immigration data.
The 2000 Census underestimated the nation's population by about 3.3 million residents or about 1.2%, according to controversial adjusted figures released Thursday by the Census Bureau.
The second serious error in the data presented by the US Bureau of the Census stems from the fact that much of what is being presented is based on data about single parent families that was provided only by custodial single mothers and not corrected for by what non-custodial biological fathers report.
The policies of the US Bureau of the Census are hostile toward the traditional nuclear family and fathers, and favorable to promoting alternative types of families (perhaps "femilies" would be a better term to use).
Interestingly, the bias inherent in the presentation of the Bureau's data is present (whether on purpose or not is immaterial) in such a way that it obscures and diminishes the differences between family-types and groups of individuals who are involved in the upbringing of children.
In the Census Bureau's approach, the traditional count is the capture phase and the survey is the recapture phase.
Bureau officials call this approach a "one-number census" because the statistically adjusted result will be the one and only official count.
In planning for the 2000 census follow-up, the bureau has responded to criticisms of the 1990 post-enumeration survey, which was not actually used to adjust the 1990 counts.
Prewitt, the bureau's current director, said the agency "cooperated with the war effort by providing special tabulations of the Japanese American population for counties and county subdivisions." He stressed there is no evidence that individual census records went to the War Department.
The Census Bureau still provides such data today, but it is coded to ensure that individuals' addresses will not be known, he said.
The Census Bureau, which was joined in its defense by Democratic members of Congress, the city of Los Angeles, and other groups, tried to prove that a 1976 amendment to that law leaves it to the discretion of the bureau as to how they count the population.
The House Republicans who filed suit against the Department of Commerce, the governmental parent of the Census Bureau, cited a 1957 law, designed at the time to update and expand the work of the Census Bureau, which said sampling can be used "except for the determination of population for apportionment purposes.
African-American and Latino groups say headcounts like the 1990 census undercount their true numbers because urban populations are hard to reach, and people don't always trust the motives of census-takers -- government employees paid to ask personal questions.

Although the Census Bureau considers SF 1 to be the official source of population numbers, the SF 3 numbers are a much more detailed source of information about local areas.
The Population Overview table is drawn from the Census Bureau's SF 1 file, which was compiled from the 2000 Census's short form.
Responses from the sample of households that reported on these long forms are then weighted by the Census Bureau to produce estimates for the entire population in the SF 3 file.
To assist businesses in completing their forms, the Census Bureau is staffing a toll-free telephone line from 8 a.m.

'Didn't See' radio campaign has been launched by THINK!
A THINK! radio campaign has been launched to encourage drivers to take longer to look for motorcyclists after figures revealed that 30 bikers are killed or injured every day at junctions, Road Safety Minister Robert Goodwill has announced.
Launched on the 21 July 2014, the 'Didn't See' campaign will run for 4 weeks on national radio with the aim of reducing the number of motorcyclist and driver collisions on our roads.
Research for THINK! has shown that drivers believe the majority of motorcycle accidents happen because of bikers breaking the speed limit – but statistics actually show around half of motorcyclist accidents, where the rider is killed or seriously hurt, occur at junctions, with drivers failing to look properly being the most common cause.
Robert Goodwill from the Department for Transport said:
"Every day more than 30 motorcycle riders die or are injured in accidents at road junctions. Often, though not always, this is because a driver has pulled out in front of a rider.
More than 2 people lose their lives every week in this way and this is something we are determined to change – if all drivers and riders took a bit more care at junctions we could bring this figure down significantly.
Motorcyclists make up just 1% of traffic on the roads but 19% of all fatalities. They are 55 times more likely than car drivers to be killed or seriously hurt in an accident."
Motorcyclist Priscila Currie is supporting the campaign after an accident in central London changed her life.
My accident happened because a car pulled out in front of me. I wasn't riding fast, only at 30 mph, but the accident had a profound impact on my life – physically and mentally.
I was hospitalised for 12 days with severe fractures and underwent 18 months of physiotherapy. It took more than 3 years for me to find the confidence to get back on a bike and I now live with pain every day, which has affected my mobility.
People make mistakes but drivers should remember that mistakes can cost lives. Behind the motorcycle helmet is a person. We have families, friends, careers and a life, just like other road users, so I would urge drivers to please take longer, especially at junctions, to look out for motorcyclists.
THINK! will also be launching a new campaign this summer encouraging motorcyclists to undertake further training and to ride defensively to help improve their safety on the roads.

Q: Extract recipient from last item in sent mail folder in Outlook I am trying to retrieve the recipient's name from the last e-mail sent from Outlook.
Using the Items.GetLast method returns the subject line, but I need the recipient's name.
I have tried looping through each item in the sent folder and extracting the information to a spreadsheet in Excel like this:
    For Each olMail In olFolder.Items
    For Each olRecipient In olMail.Recipients
        Cells(lngRow, 1) = olRecipient.Name
        Cells(lngRow, 2) = olRecipient.Address
    Next
    lngRow = lngRow + 1
Next
Else

The problem I run into is when there is a sent item that is not of an olMail type, such as a meeting request response.  I end up getting a run-time error 13 Type mismatch.
For my purposes, I know that the last e-mail sent will always be the one that I need to get the recipient's name from, so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to go through each item in the sent folder and grab the last one.  Is there a way to return the last e-mail sent item and extract the recipient's name?
I will be executing this command from an Excel workbook.
Thanks.

A: You are assuming that Items.GetLast will return the last sent item. The Items collection is not sorted in any particular way unless you expliiclyt call Sort():
set oItems = olFolder.Items
oItems.Sort("[SentOn]")

Secondly, GetLast() does not returns a string, it returns an object, which can be MailItem, MeetingItem, etc. If you need to handle items of different kinds, declare the item to be a generic Object and then check the Class property. It will be 43 (olMail) for the regular messages:
dim oItem As Object
set oItem = oItems.GetLast
if oItem.Class = 43 Then
  ...
End If

A: You could just check the item type to avoid the run-time error 13 Type mismatch:
If TypeOf olMail is MailItem Then
   ...
End If

Sun World names CEO as company expands focus
David Marguleas has been named chief executive officer of Sun World International LLC, board chair Lloys Frates announced today. Marguleas most recently served as Sun World's executive vice president and managed the firm's breeding, technology and licensing business, Sun World Innovations. Following the recent sale of its farms, Sun World will be the breeding and licensing company's new name.
"David's experience is tailor-made for this business going forward," said Frates, a principal with Renewable Resources Group, the investment firm that acquired Sun World in 2013. "He built a premier global breeding and licensing operation from scratch and knows produce and IP licensing inside and out. We're fortunate to have David lead Sun World during a period of accelerated growth."
Sun World currently operates an important fruit breeding program that produces new table grapes and stonefruit for more than 1,500 growers in 14 countries. The California-based company will leverage its breeding and licensing expertise into other fruit crops.
"Today's consumer seeks a richer eating experience and Sun World has long been at the forefront of bringingmore flavorful produce to market," Marguleas said. "The 'new' Sun World remains committed to bringing improved grape and stonefruit varieties to growers in most of the world's fruit producing countries. We're now also poised to diversify into other tremendously economically important fruit crops -- through organic growth, acquisitions or both -- and to expand our IP and genetics' footprint."
Merrill Dibble, the CEO of Sun World until the recent sale of its farming assets, is coordinating the smooth transition of those operations and will serve as head of RRG's agricultural operations.
To help direct the new Sun World growth strategy, Jeff Jackson joins Sun World as executive vice president of business development. Jackson is an accomplished produce industry executive with deep farming, supply chain, sales and marketing experience. He has served in senior management roles at Chiquita, Moraitis, Earthbound Farms and Tanimura & Antle. Jackson joins Marguleas and Keith Mitchell, executive vice president and chief financial officer, who directs all finance and administrative functions, as a key member of Sun World's senior management team.

Victoria's Diamond Jubilee: Jashan at Wadia Atash Behram, 20 June 1897
As I have written in an article recently published in The Hindu, the last time that a diamond jubilee was celebrated by a British monarch–Queen Victoria in 1897–was an especially significant moment in Indian history. The jubilee was marked in a variety of ways by different communities. The Parsi community in Bombay held a public meeting in April 1897 in order to deliver speeches and finalize a congratulatory memorial that was to be dispatched to Victoria.
Almost 115 years to the date, on 20 July 1897, around two-hundred Parsi priests, including some of the most eminent priests of the time, packed into Wadia Atash Behram in Bombay in order to hold a special jashan for the queen. While it is tempting to see this ceremony entirely in light of Parsi Anglophilia of the time, the jashan was not without historical precedence. Monarchy has always been an important institution within Zoroastrianism, and during the ancient Persian empires reverence and loyalty toward the ruling monarch was considered an especially important virtue. Several Parsis in 1897 commented on how the jashan for Victoria was similar to prayers of thanksgiving offered to Persian Zoroastrian monarchs of the past.
Below is an excerpted article from the Times of India for 21 June 1897, covering the jashan at Wadia Atash Behram.
THE PARSEE THANKSGIVING CEREMONY.
In response to invitations of the Trustees to the Parsee Punchayet Funds, over one thousand Parsees, and about 200 Parsee priests among them, assembled yesterday afternoon in the hall of the Wadia Atashbehram at Dhobi Talao, for the purpose of offering special prayers on the occasion of the Queen-Empress's Diamond Jubilee. Four Dastoors, namely, Jamasji Minocherjee, Peshotanjee Beheramjee, Khorshedjee Bejonjee, and Dossabhoy Sorabjee, (the latter gentleman being a representative of the Meherjirana family of Navsari), officiated at the ceremony, in the celebration of which the whole of the Parsee priests present, and most of the laity, took part. Among those present were:–Sir Dinshaw M. Petit, Bart., Mr. Hormusjee Edaljee Allbless, Shams-ul-Ulma Ervad Jivanjee J. Modi, Mr. D.R. Chichgar, Ervad Edaljee Kersaspjee Antia, Mr. Nowrojee J. Gamadia, Mr. Muncherjee H. Jagose, Mr. B.B. Patel, and Mr. K.R. Cama. After the Jasan ceremony was over, a special prayer in Zend, composed by Dastoor Peshotanjee, was offered, invoking blessings and happiness on her Most Gracious Majesty, the whole of the assembly standing during the time the prayer lasted. Ervad Jivanjee J. Mody, secretary to the Parsee Punchayet, then thanked the assembled gentlemen for having responded to the call of the Trustees of the Punchayet, and next proceeded to exhort the Parsee community in a stirring speech, delivered in Gujarati, for not only their their unflinching loyalty to their august Sovereign Lady the Queen-Empress, but to her representatives in Governments and Administrations, reminding them that, although comparatively speaking the Parsees were a small community, they have enjoyed unparalleled prosperity and security during the sixty years of the Queen's reign. These sentiments having been loudly applauded by the assembly, Ervad Jivanjee read the following telegram which will be forwarded in the name of the Parsee community of Bombay by Sir Dinshaw M. Petit, to Lieutenant-Colonel Sir A.J. Briggs, Private Secretary to her Majesty:–"Parsee community of Bombay assembled at their Fire-temple to say thanksgiving prayers on Jubilee Day, humbly beg leave to offer their loyal, heartfelt congratulations to her Majesty. May God bless her Majesty with health and happiness." The message having been approved of by the whole of the Anjuman assembled in the Jasan, the proceedings were brought to a close amid cheers and demonstrations of joy.

This ad campaign ran in Rolling Stone magazine and was developed to drive folks to a drug policy conference and dramatize yet another wasteful war waged by us, the American taxpayers. I worked with an art director to concept these ads, then wrote the copy which highlighted the connection between our overcrowded prisons and the misappropriated drug war dollars. I also wrote the organization's tagline.


Matthew Stafford is, without question, the best quarterback the Detroit Lions have ever had. He's the franchise's leader in touchdowns, wins, and passing yards by nearly 20,000 yards. And it's helped him earn a huge amount of money throughout his career, and particularly over the past 13 months.
Stafford has made more than $58 million since August 2017, good for about $154,000 PER DAY.
During the 2017 season, Stafford threw for 4,446 yards, 29 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The Lions went 9-7 and missed the playoffs.
Since entering the league in 2009, the Lions have still yet to win a playoff game under Stafford. And while he technically has a 5-46 record against winning teams, it's hard to pin all of the team's faults on Stafford. Of course, there are 21 other players on the field that are also losing those games.
As we noted earlier, Stafford is the Lions' franchise career leader in a ton of major statistical categories. And the team has certainly put him to work – Stafford has surpassed 592 passes (37 attempts per game) six times in his career.
The Lions have rewarded their quarterback, too. Stafford signed a then-record $135 million deal last summer. The new contract will pay him an average of $27 million through 2022, though obviously the deal is front-loaded, with a signing bonus included in Stafford's guarantees.
It just goes to show how critical it is to earn guaranteed money in the NFL. Stafford had a clunker in Week 1 this year, but he still got paid. He's likely to bounce back, though it's comforting to know he'll be earning a ton of money no matter what happens.
Matthew Stafford has put up big numbers in Detroit–and now, he's about to get rewarded handsomely.
After a 1-3 start, Matthew Stafford suddenly has the Detroit Lions sitting pretty at first place in the NFC North. Just how much does he stand to earn with a new contract this offseason?

My oldest girl has always loved word searches. She's a girl that ooh's and ahh's with delight when a word search shows up on the kid's bulletin at church!
I often make printables for my younger girls, but since my 3rd grader often has plenty of school work to do, I tend not to make 'extras' for her.
Since spelling is a constant issue, I thought we could use a few word searches as extra spelling help during Christmas School this year.
This word search packet contains 6 printables, each with a Christmas theme.
→ 3 of the word searches focus on vocabulary that relates to the birth of Christ.
→ The other 3 word searches focus on traditional Christmas vocabulary words.
These word searches make a fun addition to school days during the Christmas Season!
I have a list of our favorite Christmas books, but here a couple to get you started if you need some new reads!
Make sure you don't miss the other Christmas Worksheets and Printables here at Mama's!
Our favorite kind of pages – color-by-number, and word searches!!!
Thank you for doing such a nice job!
Oh yay!! I'm so glad that you can use them!
I've been looking for a good wordsearch pack. Thank you so much!

Why Sam Bankman-Fried Was Never The Perfect Crypto CEO
Takashi Oka
Crypto CEOs shouldn't view themselves as leaders of a single company, but rather as individuals in service of a community they represent.
On December 12th, disgraced former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried was arrested on a variety of criminal charges including wire fraud, securities fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. If found guilty and convicted, the young founder at the heart of the most explosive crypto collapse of all time faces up to 115 years in prison, and the fact that on December 20th he agreed to be extradited to the US from his home in the Bahamas surely spells out more trouble ahead.
The Securities and Exchange Commission's complaint against SBF alleges a "scheme to defraud equity investors in FTX" which saw him orchestrate "a massive, years-long fraud, diverting billions of dollars of the trading platform's customer funds for his own personal benefit and to help grow his crypto empire."
As we watch the FTX saga unfold before our eyes, it might seem that Bankman-Fried could make the perfect Hollywood-movie-style bad guy, but he was never a perfect crypto CEO.
Far from it.
Nobel laureate Paul Krugman economist recently labeled figures like Bankman-Fried, once lauded as revolutionaries, as petulant oligarchs. "The very privileged are surrounded by people who would never dare tell them that they're behaving badly," he wrote for the New York Times, arguing that people like him and Elon Musk are ultimately destroying the "legend of the genius entrepreneur" and behaving like "thin-skinned egomaniac plutocrats acting out their insecurities in public view."
While we can all have different opinions about what, practically, constitutes genius or madness, it seems that the problem at hand is the question of how we see our leaders, and how much power we think they deserve to exert over their companies and our society.
In the case of crypto, which is largely dominated by big personalities and aspiring underdogs-turned-superheroes, this has never been more true, or more of a myth that we need to dispel if we wish to bring crypto out of its current winter and into the future.
Crypto CEOs shouldn't view themselves as leaders of a single company, but rather as individuals in service of the community they are a part of and represent. Their focus should be on continually and efficiently creating solutions to solve the real, persistent problems experienced by other community members.
Their success should be based upon the results they are able to deliver over the long term, not sheer and unadulterated adoration. Tangible results, as opposed to murky assessments and unclear vision plans which only benefit the executive level and nobody else, should be the very foundational level bestowing leaders with the level of sway and authority they command. This is particularly true of the crypto world, where impostors are a dime a dozen and every big claim needs to be carefully examined before it can be verified and believed.
As we are now beginning to understand, much of what Bankman-Fried posited was conjecture at best, fraudulent at worst, and generally lacking in the kind of transparency that is so key for both traditional firms and crypto ones. Studies show that transparency is linked to "higher rates of employee retention, increased worker productivity and an uptick in corporate loyalty among staff members." Without it, leaders risk losing the trust of their employees, investors, stakeholders and customers.
Once again, this is especially critical for crypto, as the very concept cryptocurrencies and blockchain are based on is one of self-governance, trust, transparency and immutability. If a leader chooses to forgo such a key element of the principles at the heart of crypto, they might as well switch to a different industry.
Another crucial trait of a successful crypto CEO, with the sector's famed volatility being what it is, is resilience. Leaders need to be ready to positively and reliably respond to difficult circumstances, which often accompany periods of market instability and downturns. Resilience is key as the crypto market continues to experience a period of economic turmoil and uncertainty, and judging from FTX's balance sheets and failed Binance bailout, that's something Bankman-Fried did not exactly have in spades.
A real leader should champion open innovation and aim to collaborate with people from outside the organization, which could prevent awkward organizational politics and create a healthier environment for business development.
Author, speaker and organizational behavior change expert Simon Sinek goes as far as arguing that the very title of CEO should be done away with, and replaced by Chief Vision Officer. His rationale is that a CMO does marketing and a CTO manages technology, but the role of "Executive Officer" means very little, which makes it easier for unscrupulous people like Bankman-Fried not to take it seriously.
The CEO's role, Sinek says, is to set the company's vision and inspire the people working towards that very goal, to which I would add: changing the title is one thing, but actually holding leadership accountable is another. Accountability, it turns out, is ultimately what Bankman-Fried tried and failed to elude.
In April 2022, as soon as Elon Musk's $44 billion takeover of Twitter was announced, the writer John Ganz defined the corporate society that "big bosses" (a.k.a. CEOs with too much power and no desire to be held accountable for their actions) wish to transform into a real, institutional outline of our world. He calls it "one possible shape of the future foreshadowed in present trends," stemming from, as Krugman put it, the "belief that the big people shouldn't have to answer to, or even face criticism from, the little people."
That's where I believe we should start: by turning this trend on its head and aiming for accountability, transparency, resilience, clarity and responsibility.
Because a results-driven organization, not one based on adoration and empty promises, will have a greater chance of surviving, thriving and leading the entire crypto sector into the future awaiting it. Until we understand that, we'll be doomed to repeat the mistakes of FTX and ask ourselves where it all went wrong.
Takashi Oka is chief executive and founder of Overlay, a decentralized platform for fundraising for cryptocurrency-related projects.


Early tomorrow we fly into Hartford, spend two nights in New Haven, and then take the train into NYC for the Episcopal College Chaplains' conference at General Seminary. I look forward to staying at the new Desmond Tutu Center and meeting others whose work connects them to college campuses. I'll see at least one seminary buddy there!
I'm not taking my laptop, so will be generally out of this loop until June 29. In the meantime, I'm thinking of Derrick and Jamie (who marry tomorrow) and looking forward to seeing some of you at the Iowa City Shakespeare Festival in July.
for the waters have risen up to my neck.
and there is no firm ground for my feet.
and the torrent washes over me.
On Tuesday, the headline in The Daily Iowan, Iowa City's independent newspaper, read "Hell and High Water." That was two days ago, and the rain hasn't stopped. Today in eastern Iowa, we've had blinding rain, hail, tornado warnings, rising river levels, continuing road closures and mandatory evacuations of homes and businesses.
We're okay at home, but conditions are far worse nearby, with major power outages and record-breaking flooding. Had I gone to Iowa City today, I would not have gotten home: a portion of Interstate-80 is closed because the Cedar River has flooded the roadway. I felt guilty for not venturing in to work, and spent a portion of the day writing my lengthy report for the annual Diocesan Journal (zzzzz).
Tonight's storm has even unnerved the dog. I distracted her by tuning up my viola (after not playing since 2001!) and playing through all the hymns in my head till my fingertips hurt. "All my hope on God is founded" was first and last. God almighty, it's good to play again.
I think that if we had to vacate the house suddenly, I'd want my hymnal. What does that say about my Dork score?
The people in Iowa need your prayers -- lots and lots of them.
These past days in Iowa City have been dramatic, not only because our friend Brad is here rehearsing for the Shakespeare Festival, opening this weekend.
The rains continue, and the flooding worsens. We haven't seen flooding like this since 1993. Many streets (including the main route into Iowa City from I-80) have been under water since last weekend. I've learned how to find my way to church down back roads. The church and surrounding downtown area are fine, but much of the lower campus is not. A music professor from my parish relates that the School of Music building, with its renovated performance center, is being evacuated and closed as of 5 p.m. today -- for the summer! This seems extreme, but apparently the impending flood will also require summer classes and offices to relocate, as well as the Shakespeare Festival itself, originally scheduled for City Park. City Park is under water.
In addition to the rising rivers, I've been in the midst of a flood of prayer, with more critical family situations going on at once than I could list here. One of most moving life passages happened on Sunday and Monday: our seminary friend, Joyce, called to ask if I could visit her seriously ill brother again (I'd visited him at Iowa City's University Hospital a few weeks ago); when I arrived on Sunday I gathered the extended family and anointed him in the ICU. He died yesterday. It was a gift to me to have met him and to be with the family; the oil stock I carry is from my seminary friend and former Field Ed supervisor, Leigh.
This all happened on the same weekend as my dear friends Laurel, Court and Brad were ordained to the transitional diaconate; other friends were gathered further away in memorial services for family, or having babies, or moving.
I'm astounded by how deep the seminary connections reach. And the good part? These connections don't stop at graduation, when we all disperse. Laurel visits soon; so will Gary and Kathy and Donna. We receive word, one way or another, of life changes and visits. If we're lucky, we get to be part of the mystery of it all, moving in and out of one another's lives once more.
It's wonderful to have our Seabury friend and all-around fantastic actor Bradley here for two months, rehearsing and performing with Iowa City's residential professional theatre company, Riverside Theatre. The theatre is only a few blocks away from my downtown church, so Brad's coming to Eucharist every Sunday now, after which we walk to a coffee house or great lunch spot. Such luxury this is! And how much I'm going to miss him when he goes back in mid-July!

Execution conditions are everything. Depending on the nature of the strategy, transaction costs (spread, commission) can make up more than 20% of your equity p.a. And that's assuming that your desired trades get placed as you want them: in an environment with slippage / re-quotes they may not even get placed, which means you get NOTHING for your intellectual property.
So, before you even place one single trade, do some informed shopping for solid execution. It's the single best investment you can make into your trading. And unlike producing a winning strategy (which is seriously hard), EVERYONE can find a good broker to trade with.
I agree completely with Juan. It is very important to have a trading environment which is tailored to the requirements of your individual strategy or system. You should therefore be looking for a broker that understands your needs and has the flexibility to deliver a product that is appropriate for them.


The articles are starting to appear in print and on the Internet about how to cope with the holiday family get-togethers and the word "dysfunctional" will be bandied about.
Now, unless you're a flaming extravert with a staff of 10 to help you, it may well be "difficult." Whether it will be "bad" is another matter.
Thank heavens for Positive Psychology! Barring extremes, why not assume your holiday is functioning normally, that is, like everyone else's – it isn't perfect, but it's functioning just fine.
How so? The reason we talk about "peace on earth, goodwill to men" at Christmas is because it's an ideal. We pray for it because it exists so rarely, in brief moments only, or maybe a state of the heart. It's the song the angels sing.
Let's put a new spin on this by looking at the function of a family. The function of a family is to nurture, but it's also about learning to relate and deal with emotions. It's about imperfect you learning how to co-exist with imperfect others in an imperfect world, and it's the proving ground for getting out into the real world. It's where we learn many life lessons.
Some of them are what to do when we don't get what we want, how to fight and make up, how to share and how to get our share, how to comfort or soothe someone else or ourselves, what to do when other people are angry or when we are, and how to keep loving someone when we really don't like what they're doing. In other words how to deal with the ins and outs of interpersonal relating with resilience.
And what better place to experience this than at the family get-together? It will all be there. It always is.
The only totally calm, uneventful Christmas I participated in, where there were no tiffs and sputters and frustrations, everyone was numbed from a recent tragedy and simply going through the motions. We could've been in bed asleep, except we were sitting up, walking around, and talking. No one had the energy for either joy or anger. Perspective did not allow us to be upset that year that the gravy was lumpy.
Emotions are energy. They're part of life. The only thing worse than the ones we don't like, would be having none at all.
But even that was a functional celebration. Grief-stricken, we were together for support, and we were doing what we could about Christmas, which seemed an ugly charade, and some of them will. It worked. It won't be featured on the front cover of "Saturday Evening Post," painted by Norman Rockwell, but it will remain painted in our hearts.
Positive psychology refuses to focus on what's wrong; it looks at what's right, strong, and going well. If your family is together and your sister and brother are fighting again, well didn't they always? Isn't that what siblings do? Surely they have the sense to temper it a little in light of the occasion, but if they don't, ignore it, send them outside with the dogs, use your sense of humor and EQ, and get on with your own celebration.
If you start your Christmas get-together saying, "It's Christmas, couldn't we all just get along for an hour or two? And Mother, will you please stop crying?" think about what you're requiring. Is your household one in which it's implicit that certain emotions are not welcome (anger, disappointment, fear, sorrow)?
Of course no one in their right mind would begin by saying, "Okay, everybody fight! Get ready, get set, Go!" But toy with that notion for a moment. What do you think would happen if you did? By welcoming it, you take away its power. Even if you said this to two preschoolers, they'd probably giggle.
It's traditional in my family that the kids are always sick at Christmas. We live in South Texas; it's allergy time. However, it has traveled with us as well! This is the one thing we can count on. It's also traditional that some of us are tired and overwrought, and the more highstrung ones will be decompensating. Some of the kids are this way too.
I remember one Christmas when I was a kid when my folks just suddenly brought the whole thing to a halt and put us all to bed for a nap. That's sensible!
There are other "traditions" I won't go into, but let's just say people don't leave their regular personalities at home when they venture out at Christmas time.
It may be the tradition in your household that Granny will complain about the commercialism of Christmas (she always does), Uncle Fred and Aunt Mary won't be talking to one another (they never do), and Candee will be dressed inappropriately (just to embarrass her parents). Is the further tradition that you worry about these things or in some way try to prevent them happening? That might be one tradition you'd like to change this year. You might as well try and stop the tide, and you'll only make yourself miserable about being miserable.
You could also rid your mind of the "nevers" and "always." People do surprise us. It has been said "you can't go home again" because things change. It won't be there when you get there. Maybe this year Granny will have made her peace with commercialism. Ya never know.
Am I talking about extreme circumstances and crises? They can happen too. In our minds Christmas Day is something special, but in the grand scheme of things, it's a day when things that happen on any day can happen. I know several people who, sadly, had a relative die on Christmas Day, one even right at the dinner table.
The only thing you can control – better to say "manage" – is your response to things that happen. You can't control what happens.
If things are really bad, you know it, and you need to do something about it, and I hope you will. Get therapy, prescribe therapy, don't show up, go with your loving partner on a cruise, or don't invite the cousin who needs to be in rehab and tell him why and pray for him.
But if it's like it is for most of us, somewhat unpredictable and nutty enough to be real, I hope you have a great, albeit imperfect Christmas, and keep your expectations flexible and low and your emotional intelligence high.
I'm thinking of the first Christmas after my son died. "Have a Christmas ," one of my sensitive friends told me. I did. You can too.

Коста Јовановић (Шабац, 20. јун 1838 — Београд, 23. октобар 1923) био је српски књижар. Везује се за књижарство нишког краја.

Биографија

Коста Јовановић је у Шапцу провео детињство, где је завршио основну школу и шест разреда гимназије. Као младић путовао је у Београд у трговину браће Стерије и Фича Молеровића. Напослетку Коста отвара своју мануфактурну радњу у Шапцу. После извесног времена прелази са својом радњом у Београд, где директно тргује цариградском робом. Коста је често и сам, преко Ниша, ишао за Цариград.

За време бомбардовања Београда од стране Турака 1862. године, Коста је учествовао у борби против непријатеља, пуцајући са прозора Митрополије на турске војнике на Калемегдану, због чега је између осталог сматран и великим патриотом.

У то време његово образовање није остало незапажено. Убрзо по ослобођењу Ниша од Турака 1878. године, на предлог тадашњег министра правде Димитрија Матића, упућен је у Ниш у новоотворени Казнени завод за рачуновођу. На положају чиновника управе Казненог завода провео је неколико година, и потом остаје да живи у Нишу.

После смрти Душана Валожића 1889. године, Коста преузима његову добро разрађеу књижару и држи је све до балканских ратова. Књижару су пуних 20 година посећивале све нишке школске генерације.

С најавом Првог балканског рата 1912. године и услед старости, Коста је био приморан да се повуче у тих и миран живот. Пошто није успео да прода књижару, део материјала је продао на ситно, а остатак понео својој кући да би касније 1915. године бугарски војници све спалили. Коста је 1918. у Нишу дочекао ослобођење Србије, где је остао до јула 1919. године. Након тога се сели у Београд, где је напослетку и умро.

Коста је у Нишу живео пуне 42 године, веома уважаван и цењен од стране својих суграђана.

This six axis robot arm is my first prototype and i already have some ideas for an advanced version with this pull cable schematic.
All axis are cable driven and controlled by hand in the base of the 6 axis robotic arm.
Hello this is 3DMeister Julius and i hope you like this project and my english.
This is an experimental prototype for a manual controlled mechanic 6 axis robot arm.
All 6 axis are connected across a cable with the slider controllers. 3 rotation axis and 3 pivot hinges can turn and lift at the same time with closed loop cables.
The controls are on the base of the arm. This is where all cable loop. Each loop is connected to a sliding knob.
By operating the slider, the cable gets pulled on one side and therefor it lifts or rotates the axis on the arm.
All cables must go through the center of the arm and they must bend in the center with each axis. The rotation axis twists the cables so they must be well sorted for minimal friction in any position.
The hinges work in an 180 degree angle and the rotation axis can turn more than once.
I got a very good result in this first arm without noticable interference between the cables during all positions of the 6 axis arm.
The structure is made of a quality plastic with very good sliding abilities because i made everything without ball bearings in this simplified prototype.
The cable are also plastic plump cords with few thick fibers and wich can hold about 15kg .
The sliding controllers hold there position when there is a tension on any cable after trough lifting and moving the axis. This happens with an anchor in the slider.
At the end of the arm, there is another hole for the tools to activate by another cable.
It is all very tricky and i hope i can make a second version with optimal proportions, ball bearings and even add stepper motors to the cables.
This is the first video review with some test movements. More will come.
Please Download and share my 3D Model for this 6 Axis Arm. See how it is made, try to Print it, tune it.
It took me 3 weeks to get this run and it works better than i expected.
This experiment can be useful for another project, or fun.
First i had cut the plastic with my CNC machine and make all the features from different sides. I am sure it 3D printable.
The holes for the pull cables must be rounded for minimum friction.
The cable have to come out at the right spot and the should not pass any corner. I drilled 1.5mm holes and than i use a hot wire to melt the corners round. they lead always into the center hole of the arm.
Starting from the arm trough the drilled holes and all elements down to the control box where they bend above an arrangement bar to the slider.
Interesting concept. It would certainly cut down on the weight in the arm. You might find you lose a lot of the power of the end effector through the cable transmission though. I like how effective the 'yaw' joints work. I am currently considering a similar system for the upper portion of the arm of my humanoid, although the motor will be in the arm, but the gearing will be via cable transmission similar to this.
I already did cut down the weight by drilling the big extra holes in the structure. However, i will take this concept to a useful project with optimized sizes of the joints, aluminium for lightweight structure, and much more. I definitely think of robot extensions like maybe bot spider legs or humanoid finger joint. If you want to increase the power of the yaw joint, you could use a planetary gear driven by the cable. In my case, the joint radius is limiting the strength to apply with a pull cable.
I lose some power at the cable transmission only in extrem positions a bit. It works much better than i expected. I use good plastic, plastic cables, made nice round channels for the cables and silicon spray erases a lot of friction.
Make a robot arm to be a 3D printer and soldering helper and other helper.
My first self made CNC router!

South Darfur Wali: 'Arms collection helped return 65,000 displaced families'
May 24 - 2018 KHARTOUM
Arms and ammunition collected in Darfur (File photo: Unamid)
The Wali of South Darfur, Adam El Faki, claims that the campaign of arms collection in the state helped bring more than 65,000 families back to their villages.
At a meeting in Khartoum with the Second Vice-President of the Republic, Hasabo Abdelrahman on Tuesday, El Faki said that work is underway to resettle the returnees in their villages and provide them with the necessary services.
El Faki pointed to the beginning of the second phase by planning more than 20,000 pieces of land to accommodate the displaced who are unwilling to return to their villages, to be followed by the third phase of planning the camps and then ending the effects of the war in South Darfur.
Arms collection
Nearly one year ago, Khartoum announced a large disarmament campaign in the country, to begin with in Darfur and Kordofan.
Members of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Sudan's main government militia, and the army were tasked to collect illegal arms and unlicensed vehicles from civilians. In North Darfur alone, more than 12,500 RSF troops were deployed for this purpose.
Now, the vice-president has threatened those who do not collaborate in the process of collection illegal weapons of serious consequences they will face. "There are punishments awaiting some of them to the extent of life imprisonment and execution."
In April Governor El Faki declared that Kalma camp would be dismantled by force and evacuated within a couple of weeks, as part of President Omar Al Bashir's voluntary repatriation plan that would result in an end to the presence of camps in the state.
Kalma is with more than 100,000 displaced one of the largest camps for the displaced in the region. According to El Faki, there are 14 camps in South Darfur that hold 528,000 people.
He went as far as threatening that the state had prepared cells in a prison in Red Sea State, where they could receive detainees who stand against voluntary return, from South Darfur.
Voluntary return is one of the options which the Sudanese government gives to the people in Darfur who have been displaced by the armed conflict that erupted in 2003. Khartoum plans to transform the camps into residential areas, or integrate them into existing towns.
The people in the camps point to the insecurity that is still plaguing villagers in most parts of Darfur, despite the large yet partly successful disarmament campaign ordered by the Sudanese presidency last year. They say that it is often caused by roaming militiamen and the abundance of weapons –that have not been found and collected during the government's disarmament campaign last year– as well as the danger of running into armed new settlers in the home areas.
Sheikh Abdelrazig Yousef, spokesman for the Darfur Displaced General Coordination told Radio Dabanga in March this year that the displaced consider the current voluntary return projects initiated by the government as "intimidation.
"They want the people living in the camps to forcibly return to their villages so as to obliterate the marks of displacement," he said.

Wife of 'Tarzan' Actor Ron Ely Found Dead, Responding Deputies Kill Son
The former "Tarzan" actor was not injured.
The wife of "Tarzan" actor Ron Ely was found dead with multiple stab wounds, and the suspect – the couple's 30-year-old son – was shot dead by responding deputies at the actor's Santa Barbara County home Tuesday night, the sheriff's department said in a statement.
The deadly chain of events began before 8:15 p.m., when deputies responded to a family disturbance call in the 4100 block of Mariposa Drive in the Hope Ranch neighborhood of Santa Barbara and found 62-year-old Valerie Lundeen Ely dead, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies found suspect Cameron Ely while searching the property. The suspect posed a threat and four deputies fired and killed the 30-year-old, the sheriff's office said.
The department said it was conducting criminal, coroner's and administrative investigations surrounding the incident. Autopsies of both the victim and the suspect were pending, and the names of the involved deputies were not immediately released.
Ely was not injured. The actor is best known for his portrayal of Tarzan in NBC's 1966 series by the same name and for his lead role in "Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze."
A representative for Ely did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday night.
