These Dictionary Words Were Popularized by U.S. Presidents
When the president speaks, all eyes and ears are on them — so it makes sense that their favorite phrases stick with the general audience. And you probably don't even realize some everyday words and phrases were made popular thanks to U.S. leaders. In fact, due to the presidents status', they've been key in influencing our language over the years.
Take a look at these dictionary words U.S. presidents absolutely loved, including the one Donald Trump frequently adds to his speeches (No. 10.).
1. Sugarcoat

President: Abraham Lincoln
Merriam-Webster notes originally, the word "sugarcoat" meant literally putting sugar on bitter pills to help them go down easier. But in a message to Congress written in 1861, Abraham Lincoln used the term to mean "to make superficially attractive," which is how it's known today.
His message was condemning secessionists who said they had a right to secede thanks to what the Constitution said. It stated, "With rebellion thus sugar-coated, they have been drugging the public mind of their own section for more than thirty years …." And while his usage of the word was originally faced with opposition, Lincoln wanted it to stand.
Next: You probably don't hear this word too often, but one president loved it.
2. Bloviate

President: Warren G. Harding
Warren G. Harding has contributed quite a few words to our everyday language, but The Boston Globe notes he wasn't considered to be very smart when it came to words. Journalist H.L. Mencken even called his speech "a string of wet sponges" at one point. Even so, when this president started using the word "bloviate," it really stuck, Merriam-Webster notes.
In case you're unfamiliar, "bloviate" means to speak in a long-winded fashion. But Harding used it to mean to spend time without purpose, and he said it with frequency.
Next: You hear this word all the time, and you can thank the first president for that.

President: George Washington
You've probably never considered where this word came from, but George Washington was the one to put it on the map. History notes George Washington was the first to define what a chief executive's role was in the government. And he was also the first one to coin the word "administration" in 1796, which he used to describe how long a commander in chief was to stay in office.
As for when the word was introduced, he used it in his Farewell Address when he wrote, "In reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am unconscious of intentional error."
Next: Jimmy Carter put this word for illness on the map.
4. Malaise

President: Jimmy Carter
This word wasn't popularized until Jimmy Carter used it in the late '70s, Merriam-Webster notes. The word comes from the French word for "poor"(mal) and the word for "comfort" (aise). Put together, it generally means the feeling of the onset of illness or a sense of feeling mentally unwell.
In July 1978, Carter made a speech that was allegedly about the energy crisis and economic issues at the time. While he didn't use malaise in the actual speech, he later used it when talking about the speech later with reporters, which is how it was recognized.
Next: This is how the president's wife got her title.
5. First lady

President: Zachary Taylor
The president's wife wasn't always referred to as the "first lady," History notes. While the U.S. was still a very young country, she was actually called the "presidentress" instead. It was Zachary Taylor, the 12th president, who changed that.
In his 1849 speech eulogizing Dolley Madison, the wife of James Madison, he said, "She will never be forgotten because she was truly our First Lady for a half-century." Thanks to this, the phrase stuck and is still used today.
Next: This term that often refers to crazy political movements was popularized decades ago.
6. Lunatic fringe

President: Theodore Roosevelt
You can thank Theodore Roosevelt for this phrase that refers to the fanatical members of an extreme political movement, Merriam-Webster notes. Back in 1913, however, Roosevelt was talking about an art exhibition when he used the term. The president wasn't impressed with what he viewed, and in response, he said, "we have to face the fact that there is apt to be a lunatic fringe among the votaries of any forward movement. In this recent exhibition the lunatic fringe was fully in evidence …."
Before Roosevelt, the term referred to something totally different. In the early 19th century, there was a woman's haircut with bangs that was called the lunatic fringe.
Next: You'd never know this president made this common phrase popular.
7. Belittle

President: Thomas Jefferson
Here's another president known for bringing certain words to the forefront. Reader's Digest notes the beauty of Thomas Jefferson's home in Virginia in 1788 had him using the word "belittle." He allegedly wrote, "The Count de Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic."
Since then, we're sure you've used the word, which means to make something seem unimportant, in your own conversations. And you've probably other Jefferson-isms, like "pedicure," too.
Next: You would never guess this casual word was made popular by a president.
8. Iffy

President: Franklin D. Roosevelt
While some presidents just had to use their word of choice once for it to become memorialized, Franklin D. Roosevelt was known for using this word with fair frequency. History explains this president was known for his "high-class" speech in general. But when it came to slang, he wasn't afraid to throw around a few favorite terms. And he used "iffy" any time he disagreed with a Supreme Court decision or had any political uncertainties. Additionally, he used "iffy" with reporters when they asked him questions about hypothetical scenarios.
Next: This word for a person unlawfully occupying a space was credited to this president.
9. Squatter

President: James Madison
Squatter sounds like a hip, modern term. But in reality, Reader's Digest notes James Madison was the first person to ever be recorded using the term. Today, the word "squatter" refers to someone who's unlawfully living in an unused building or section of land. But Madison used it to refer to homeless people in Maine. In a letter to George Washington all the way back in 1788, he wrote about how the homeless were living on property belonging to others and called them squatters.
Next: You're definitely familiar with this Trump term.
10. Bigly

President: Donald Trump
Bigly, or big league? We may never know the truth about this word popularized by the current president. Dictionary.com notes Trump first used this phrase during his 2016 campaign during a debate. And as soon as the public heard it, Twitter erupted in criticism and confusion. His son, Donald Trump Jr., actually had to clarify that his father said "big league" — but we're still not so sure.
Either way, bigly is actually a word meaning "in a big way," which aligns with how Trump's used it in the past.
Next: Here's another Roosevelt saying.
11. Muckraker
Theodore Roosevelt and his family | Library of Congress/Wikimedia Commons
He didn't create this word himself, but Teddy Roosevelt did bring it into the public eye. Reader's Digest explains in 1906, Roosevelt mentioned in a speech that that journalists were "digging in the muck" for gossip. And this was after he heard the term "muckrake" in Pilgrim's Progress, a Christian allegory by John Bunyan.
Muckraker didn't maintain any bad connotations, however. Eventually, journalists embraced the term and used it to refer to writers who took risks with their work.
Next: This common reference to those who led the American Revolution started with Harding.
12. Founding fathers

If you've ever wondered where the term "founding fathers" comes from, it allegedly started in 1918 from a speech given by Warren G. Harding, says History. He was just the senator of Ohio at the time, but when he met the men of the Revolution who helped draft the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, he called them this phrase. His original sentence was, "It is good to meet and drink at the fountains of wisdom inherited from the founding fathers of the Republic."
Later, during Harding's 1920 presidential campaign, he brought back the phrase, too.
Next: You can thank Eisenhower for this golf term.
13. Mulligan

President: Dwight D. Eisenhower
Plenty of presidents loved golf — and at the top of that list was Dwight D. Eisenhower. And while this president never explicitly said this golf term, he's forever known as starting it. History explains in 1947, Eisenhower hit a bad tee shot — and he gave himself a do-over without any penalty, the Washington Post reported at the time. The newspaper then explained how a "mulligan" worked in golf. After that, the word became commonplace in golf — and it's forever associated with Eisenhower.
Next: Another Roosevelt-ism that's popular today.
14. Pussyfooting
Theodore Roosevelt | Library of Congress
Roosevelt didn't make up this word, but like many other phrases of his, he impacted its popularity immensely. Mental Floss explains he used the word back then much like how it's used today to refer to someone who's noncommittal. When Roosevelt was asked about his odds of being the Republican presidential nominee, he said, "I think they are inclined to pussy-foot, and it is worse than useless for them to nominate me, unless they are prepared for an entirely straightforward and open campaign."
As for where the word originally came from, it actually appeared in print around 1893.
Next: This word from Lincoln refers to those living in one particular northern state.
15. Michigander

Like many others on this list, Abraham Lincoln wasn't the first to come up with "Michigander" — a term simply used to describe someone from Michigan. The Boston Globe reports the word could be found as far back as 1842 in a Vermont newspaper.
The word came into the public eye after Lincoln said it in 1848. At the time, he was referring to General Lewis Cass, whom he called "the great Michigander." Additionally, a "gander" is an adult male goose, and opponents of Cass noted he resembled this animal.

The years 1909-1918 can be regarded as formative for MI5, an era in which it developed from a small counterespionage bureau into an established security intelligence agency. MI5 had two main roles during this period; counterespionage, and advising the War Office on how to deal with the police and the civilian population, particularly foreign nationals in Britain.
Using hitherto neglected documents from official archives, this study examines how MI5 foiled the spies of the Kaiser during the First World War, paying particular attention to the preventive measures the organization instituted to 'frustrate' espionage and how its investigations to 'cure' espionage were conducted. In so doing, intelligence specialist, Chris Northcott, also delivers an appreciation of how MI5 saw its work as being divided between preventive measures and investigative work, providing an informative and intriguing insight into MI5's development during its first ten years.
MI5 began as a one-man affair in 1909, tasked with the limited remit of ascertaining the extent of German espionage in Britain amidst an uncertain future. By the armistice MI5's role had expanded considerably and it had begun to develop into an established security intelligence agency, with hundreds of personnel spread over six branches covering the investigation of espionage, records, ports and travelers and alien workers at home and overseas.
This book offers an original and important contribution to our knowledge of the origins of Britain's security services. In using the example of MI5's contest against German spies during the First World War era, it forms a groundbreaking study of counterespionage strategy and tactics, and it poses the stimulating question of 'how to measure' the effectiveness of a counterespionage agency. It also sets out probably the most detailed description of MI5's organizational structure available.
"A valuable read for any student of intelligence in the Great War, this will also be of use in studying World War II, for the insights into the origins of many of the counter-intelligence and security techniques in use during 1939-1945."

Attention Small Business - Plan to Be Attacked - MicroTech Systems, Inc.
It is not a matter of if you will be attacked, but when you will suffer a cyber attack, and if you will be able to prevent it and/or recover from it.
According to a study at the University of Maryland, hackers attack every 39 seconds. Considering the recent attacks happening around the globe, it's no secret that attackers are more persistent, have more expertise, and more resources than ever before. Warnings near the end of 2017 told us that we could expect cyber-attacks to cause $5 billion worth of damages, equating to a fifteen-fold increase over just two years ago. Cybercrime damage is expected to hit $6 trillion annually by 2021, with cybersecurity spending increases of $1 trillion over the next four years.
Why are small businesses caught off guard? Because often they think, "We are a small business. Hackers only go after big businesses who can pay big dollars." Not true!
The truth is that hackers don't discriminate when it comes to their targets. They simply go after the easiest, most unsuspecting targets. Big businesses invest in expensive firewalls with professionally monitored intrusion protected systems. When they are attacked, they have both the IT expertise and manpower on board to find, prevent and/or mitigate attacks.
Not so with small business. Sixty-one percent of SMBs have experienced a cyber-attack in the past 12 months and 54% of those breaches involved customer and employee data.
People are involved. People can be tricked and be fooled into giving up passwords or (accidentally) taking some action that proves to be harmful to the security of your data.
Irregular hacking patterns often go unnoticed. Security of your data is a 2-fold process of software and human monitoring that can detect and remediate advanced attacks.
In this blog, we will lay out what a layered security approach looks like specifically for small business, and what steps to take to ensure your employees are a part of the security solution and not a part of a security hack. Read on, this is a blog small business can not afford to miss.
Many security hacks and breaches are in fact non-technical. Phishing is often the result of fooling a well-intentioned employee into clicking on a link, providing information, resetting a password or even sending money from a source that they 'think' they know. A well-intentioned employee can be tricked into providing vital information without knowing that they are actually giving access to cybercriminals. Criminals use phishing tactics because it is usually easier to exploit your natural inclination to trust that it is to discover ways to hack into a well-protected system.
If you are in business and use email to do your job, chances are you receive phishing requests like the one shown in the next example. We had an employee who received an email from (what looked like) the Microsoft 365 team, asking her to confirm her account.
After extensive security employee awareness training and further investigation of this link, you will see that the link redirected to a non-Microsoft site that would have likely added malware to the network, or attempted to access sensitive network files.
Employee security awareness and training can help non-technical employees identify and flag unusual requests for password changes and link verification for additional due diligence.
Establishing policies and procedures for password changes and data sharing (especially over the phone) to help your team spot the most common types of employee-targeted cyber attacks.
Requests for "additional information" verification links for things like invoices, client/employee information, passwords, accounts and/or money transfers should always follow a double-authentication process to ensure these types of procedures are documented and verified.
Creating a culture of security awareness starts with training each and every employee to recognize the importance of security by being able to identify the signs of an impending threat.
Once you've created a culture of security awareness, the next step is to take proactive and preventive measures to secure your network. And while firewalls, anti-virus, and anti-malware software are basics in security protection, they don't have the ability to proactively monitor, detect and decide how to remediate or recover stolen data or infected systems.
Here's why it matters: Modern malware can hide deep in your computer without raising red flags. It will just quietly go about its business. And in fact, there are even "sneaky" viruses that will remove other viruses, so you don't get suspicious! Just because a virus isn't disruptive doesn't mean it isn't dangerous. It could be snagging your passwords, sensitive files or other vital information. And while endpoint detection and malware protection are table stakes for any businesses wanting to protect their business and customer data, monitored antivirus by a Managed IT expert is the only way to stay ahead of attacks.
The ability to detect geographical login changes and patterns that might mean your system is being probed or accessed by a remote attacker.
Detect multiple logins to an account within a short period of time from different IPs locations (that are probably not being made by your staff).
Check event logs for warnings and errors to identify system failures that show your server is under attack or your server is about to fail.
These types of reasons (and many more) lend themselves to the need for double-layer security expertise that a small business can typically not employee from within. IT experts have the ability to know which alerts to pay close attention to and how to spot unusual patterns. Continuous around the clock monitoring and "spot checking" by an outside expert provides the "eyes and ears" on the network that both prevent data breaches but also ensure you that your system is working at peak performance.
Small businesses need the same amount of help and protection against security threat as that of a medium or larger sized organization.
No business is above attack. Small businesses are ideal targets for expert hackers who are looking to steal records and/or hold your data for ransom.
Employees can be tricked. Being hacked or having your data held for ransom can cost you dearly. Creating a culture of security awareness is your first and most important defense against further attacks.
Firewalls and anti-virus protection are only the beginning of the story. Proactive prevention of your network data and operations should be monitored and maintained by IT experts who can detect when you are being attacked and help you remediate and recover quickly. Managed IT is as simple as working with an outside IT expert.
The long and short of the story is this: you need technology to innovate and be productive. Small businesses need it, even more, to "do more with less." Technology has to be to be maintained for it to work the way you want it to work. Technology is constantly evolving and keeping up with hardware changes, software updates, patches and security protection can be a full-time job. Getting a handle on soaring IT costs can impact how you leverage that technology to be productive, service your clients and complete with other bigger businesses who can afford what a small business cannot. Managed IT is the means by which a small business pays a flat, monthly price for all IT services, upgrades, security, monitoring, and equipment updates. What has costs other businesses thousands to maintain is available to small business under a "managed IT" plan.
We're not here to sell you anything. We are happy to talk you through your options.
Start a conversation on how we might be able to help you consolidate all IT costs, secure your data, train your team and monitor your network and data around the clock.


After Jon D'Eaux, there was Rob McLean. Then there was Jon D'Eaux again. Rob McLean is probably coming back soon. The two were never very good at figuring out fake identities, but you can guess who the real person is.
Regardless, Rob McLean released an album in 2002 called "Albion Capone", which is available for purchase on iTunes.


By Jodi Rubin Shutterstock. Despite how much may have changed since you were in the dating pool, there are three things you should consider before starting. What is your hope for an outcome in dating? Outcome is the key word here. You need to think about why you would like to date again. What type of relationship or not are you looking for? Are you looking for a new friend, a date, a relationship, or potential for another spouse?
While it does not necessarily have to be set in stone, you do need some direction to help keep you on track to finding what you are looking for. It's OK to be in a place of unknown, for example, you might think to yourself, well I would like to see what dating is like but not get too serious, or I would like to meet new people and see if that can develop into more.

When Am I Ready? Jan 6, Only after you can answer yes to the following questions. Dear Sherry and Rosie, When do you feel it's okay to get into a new relationship after divorce? I've been divorced almost 8 months, after a five-year separation. I was married for many years, and my children who are grown are concerned that I've been alone too long. I don't want to wait too long to date, but I wonder if I'm ready. I would like to meet a decent man and have a relationship, but I'm also scared of making a mistake.
I was heavily betrayed and mistreated in the past, and my ability to trust is pretty low.

Firestone Walker Reserve Porter: Officially called Walker's Reserve, this porter is unreal from the first sip. There's a lavish, velvety texture to it that inundates you with a complex variety of flavors. Notes of caramel and bitter chocolate are the easiest to find, but a deeper look reveals a hint of spice that leaves you with a fantastically dry finish. Despite its hearty character and intricate flavor, it is still in every respect a porter. Unlike extreme breweries that rely upon style hopping to make something unique, Firestone Walker manage to stay true to the style while still creating something genuinely fantastic .
Samuel Smith Taddy Porter: I've had to convince many a friend to try the Taddy Porter. My elevator pitch is, "It tastes like beer chocolate milk." If someone isn't excited by that premise, I don't want to know them. The Taddy Porter is a classic example of an English porter. Brewed with well water, the Taddy Porter is sweet and satisfying. It doesn't reveal flavors as layered and convoluted as the Reserve Porter, but it doesn't need to. It's a simple beer, for people who simply want one thing; an incredible brew.
In a Nutshell: Each fantastic in its own right, the SS Taddy Porter beats out the FW Reserve Porter for reasons far too complex to explain.
Verdict: I don't know how to summarize this outcome. I love the Reserve Porter. I drink it with an ear to ear grin on my face. It's wild, and different, while still being the exact beer I need it to be. However, I must choose the Taddy Porter, because unlike the Reserve, the Taddy Porter feels more like a drink for the soul, and at the end of the day, that's all that matters to me.

Pakistani-American Raps For #Malala Yousafzai #spokenword #poetry #vaw #Taliban

By- Suka Kalantari, at the theworld.org
The day after 14-year-old Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by the Taliban for speaking out for women's education, Zaki Syed, a 24-year-old Pakistani-American rapper from Sacramento, California, started getting a lot of phone calls asking him to write a rap about it.
"I was getting calls from people in Pakistan saying, 'Hey, you have to do something. You have to write something.' Even my mom was like, 'You do a rap for everybody, you should do something for her too.'"
But Syed says he had already began writing a spoken-word poem dedicated to Malala Yousafzai, which he's now posted on YouTube.
Syed starts the spoken-word poem saying, "All she really wants to do is read. The first verse in the Quran is to read." He said that an important belief in Islam is to educate ones self.
"Reading and getting an education is an Islamic right," Syed said. "This was just a way of responding to the Taliban extremists and possibly any future extremists who try to come out and justify what had been done. I wanted to make it very clear that Islam, or God, would not condone what they did. The Quran says that God is telling the prophet to read. It's like your Muslim duty to go out and be educated and be knowledgeable."
In both Urdu and English, Syed raps, "You sisters, you mothers, you daughters: the respect of the nation is in your hands." He explains it's a very old saying in Pakistan. He sang it in both languages to make sure young women in Pakistan understood the lyrics.
"It says that the nation is in women's hands. And it's up to them to lead the way. I was thinking of all Muslims when I wrote this. My attack was towards the Taliban, but also to tell the nation of Pakistan that literacy is something we're suffering and she was trying to advance it. She is a representation of something that people in Pakistan desperately need, which is education."
Syed, who is also a sociology student at Sacramento State, produced another rap video last month urging tolerance and understanding of Sikhs in the wake of the Wisconsin shootings. In an interview with The World's Marco Werman he says he uses rap to break down stereotypes.
"I think that the media has always stereotyped – made a stereotype – that anyone who has a beard, who has a turban, must be a terrorist," Syed said. "That's very untrue and, in fact, most Muslims don't even have turbans."
Syed has also rapped about Pakistan's earthquake, the floods in Bangladesh, and the discrimination that sometimes comes with growing up as a Muslim-American after 9-11.
Lyrics to "Malala Yousafzai"
All she really wants to do is Read
The first verse in the Quran is to Read
Because when you read to the people you go out and Lead
When Malala bleeds the whole country bleeds
Because she represents the seed of what we need
So many mouths and minds to feed
So when the Taliban, Yeah when the Taliban shot Malala
They shot a part of Pakistan, The Part of Pakistan
That believed in the first verse of the Quran and that is
and that is to read
Now Swat Valley is a beautiful place
But Swat Valley has turned into a murderous place
Swat Valley is also the same place in which Malala was born in 1998
Who would of thought a gunman would try to decide her fate
But no gunman can decide her fate, only God can
I think God had a plan for her to fight Taliban
Woman's education was at the top of her goal
So when they banned school
They straight up crushed her soul
So she started to blog and she started to protest, and pretty soon became activists
A symbol for Pakistani people that were starting to feel repressed
Stuck in war between the east and the west
U.S. foreign policy and Taliban causing a mess
So when Malala was shot by an extremist the whole country screamed that shedidn't deserve this
It sparked of something you wouldn't believe
People saying the Taliban has hijacked my country
And that it is time for them to leave
Protests in Numerous Pakistani Cities
And I heard 50 Islamic clerics have issued Fatwas condemning the Talibans actions now
Wow like how could a child so young become the voice of inspiration
For everyone, like so many women who go to school and then work at night
Only to come home and prepare meals for their families at night
But one of these women told me she is no longer feeling bad about her life
No she is thinking about Malala's sacrifice and how she herself is lucky to live in a
place where she can be independent and utilize her education right
An inspiration and Light so I use Malala's message when I talk to Pakistani Women to Unite
Tum batia, Tum Maaou, Tum baana quam ki izzat aap ki haath main hai
You sisters, you mothers, you daughters the respect of the nation is in your hands
So don't say we cant only say that we can, to a higher education
To a better Pakistan, my Pakistan, your Pakistan
Mera Pakistan, Tumara Pakistan, Hamara Pakistan
Yee Pyari Zameen aur yee pyara Asman
Broken into little tukra by the U.S. Drone Strikes and Taliban
And somebody better please help the Taliban understand that
The Prophet Muhammad told us that Paradise was at our Mothers feet
And to honor our daughters and to treat them with respect so tell me Tehreeki
Taliban is this how you treat your Muslim Sister with respect, by shooting her in the
head and the neck
What kind of Islam is this, what kind of Islam is this, What kind of Islam is this
Please let me know what your following cause I know its not Islam
How could you hurt a girl for trying to follow the first verse of the Quran
Because all she wanted to do was to read
Also if the U.S is get inspired by women rights
And wants to fight the good fight then stop the drop strikes
Because education needs to be at the core of any mission
So stop dropping bombs and start dropping knowledge
You say you are for womens rights then why don't you build a women's college
Because Illiteracy and Poverty is disease, and drone strikes are the propaganda
on which the Taliban feeds, people joining them because theyre angry that theyre
families have been wiped out entirely
And revenge could keep us in a mental fortitude of slavery
So I am praying really hard for Malalas recovery
Because she brought the proof to the truth, and the truth to abosolute,
And absolute to the proof, proof to the absolute, and absolute to the truth
That's what happens when education succeeds

Students say Taliban are mistaken if they think they can scare girls away from school.
Khabar Wire Service
Militants who tried to kill Malala Yousafzai have strengthened the resolve of schoolgirls to attend school, her friends said.

Even the girls who saw a gunman shoot the 14-year-old pro-education activist and two schoolmates on their bus on October 9th in Mingora, in the Swat District of Pakistan, are not backing down on their hopes and dreams of getting an education.
"The clear proof of our bravery is that – when the attackers asked us, 'Who among you is Malala?' – none of us replied seconds before (the shooter) began firing," said 10th-grader Shazia, one of two other injured girls and recovering from bullet wounds to her shoulder and neck.
The girl said outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan's (TTP) claim of responsibility "bears no meaning for us".
"We know the Taliban militants 'execute' their opponents," Shazia said. "We know that only the Taliban can do this uncivilised act of attacking girls."
The girls and their families remember atrocities the Taliban committed during the militants' two-year reign of terror (2007-2009) in Swat. Citing examples, she mentioned the killing of women; bombings of mosques, schools, funeral ceremonies and the Taliban's displaying of foes' severed heads.
"I was neither scared the moment when the gunmen approached us nor am I now because we went to school [anyway] when Swat was under the Taliban and thousands of students had opted to stay home," Shazia recalled.
"This [attack] cannot dent our determination, and the only weapon is to arm girls with education and defeat guns with pens," said Kanat, the third girl injured in the shooting. "We will continue education to accomplish Malala's mission."
Kanat said "there's no looking back" for Malala, mentioning her own plans to become a doctor.
TTP tactics won't deter girls
The TTP want to frighten students into abandoning school, but won't succeed, according to Asma Ali, a physics teacher at Malala's school. Students showed their defiance when they turned up in droves for the October 12th morning assembly to pray for Malala.
The credit for that attitude belongs to Malala, she said, adding, "Our students aren't afraid."
The attempted murder of the Mingora resident who under a pen name blogged in 2009 about Taliban abuses for the BBC Urdu service, aroused widespread debate in Pakistan but has not shaken the resolve of the girls of Mingora.
"If we feared the Taliban, we couldn't get education; therefore, we are totally oblivious to the Taliban's attacks," said Spogmay, a 7th grade girl who was on Malala's bus. "It was like hell. For a moment, I thought we would not survive, the way (the gunman) fired at us indiscriminately.
"I am sure that the scales of justice would tip in our favour and ever-smiling, brave and intelligent Malala will regain health very soon," Spogmay said, adding students would rally around Malala to ensure women's education in the future.
Malala's best friend Shazia said, "I will give my life in exchange for Malala's. Losing a friend like her is unbearable."
She recalled how Malala persuaded the girls to attend schools in the Taliban era.
"Malala used to tell us they should wear veils in compliance with the Taliban's directives, but shouldn't remain absent."
Saeeda, an 8th-grade student at the same school said, "We have promised Malala that we should fight the Taliban with pen and books and I will keep that promise even at the cost of my life.
"Malala told the girls on a daily basis that 'The Taliban are the enemy of humanity and Islam.' We should stand up against them to thwart their efforts aiming to bar women from schools," Saeeda said, adding Malala's approach kept up the courage of all 500 girls at the school.
Saeeda said though her parents advised her to stay home during the Taliban's rule, she had promised Malala she would never miss school. "All the people must pray for Malala," she said. "She is the beacon of hope for millions of girls."
Parents equally determined
Fathers of Malala's schoolmates were determined not to let the Taliban chase their daughters from the schools.
"[Shazia] is extremely concerned about education and has been asking different questions," said her father Muhammad Ramzan. "But I prevailed upon her that everything will be right and they would be in school again."
Ramzan said he worried over Malala's condition as if she were his own daughter. "I am a proud father because my daughter has proved that she is not afraid of anyone," he said.
Jamil Shah, Saeeda's father, said he would stand by his daughter "through thick and thin" and would spare no effort to ensure that she gets an education

This excellent 32-minute documentary captures some of the reality of the situation that Malala Fousafzai has faced in the Swat Valley, Pakisatan. The video shows Malala and her school master father as they deal with the threat and reality of violence from Taliban forces, and the closure of their school. I believe that this video is a must-see.
The video is entitled Class Dismissed: The Death of Female Education in the Swat Valley. The documentary was made in 2009 when Malala was just 11 and 12 years old but, with recent events, it seems even more relevant today. The documentary was produced and narrated by Adam Ellick.
Warning: Some of the video show acts of violence, executions, beatings and dead bodies.

Cancer research. 1994 Aug 15; 54(16): 4304-7.
Six-week-old male CF-1 mice were fed the AIN-76 diet, given eight weekly s.c. injections of either the colon carcinogen 1,2-dimethylhydrazine or saline, and killed 24 weeks after the last injection. Parameters measured in the large bowel included the incidence and locations of all intestine (gut)-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) sites; the locations, incidence, and sizes of all aberrant crypt foci (ACF); and the incidence, locations, and types of all overt tumors. In saline-treated mice the distribution of GALT along the length of the large bowel was bimodal, with a majority peak of lymphoid nodules occurring in the distal large bowel and a minority peak occurring in the proximal large bowel. No ACF or tumors were present in the large bowel of the saline-treated mice. In 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-treated mice the majority of ACF were present in the middle third of the colon, between the two peaks of GALT, but the majority of the tumors were found over the GALT in the distal colon. There was a significant positive linear regression relationship between the numerical distribution of GALT and the numerical distribution of tumors along the length of the large bowel. There was no significant relationship between the distribution of ACF and the distribution of (a) tumors or (b) GALT along the length of the large bowel. Thus the numerical density of lymphoid nodules, not the numbers or distribution of ACF, was the significant predictor of the distribution of tumors in the large bowel of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-treated mice. It is proposed that lymphoid nodules in the distal large bowel play a promotional role following initiation of colon carcinogenesis and that ACF have little if any malignant potential in the mouse.

We will warn you right now – this one gets nerdy. But, we mean that in the best possible way.
But, we mean that in the best possible way. Over the past few years, there has been an increased interest in the historical watches from the Tudor Watch Company – no doubt due to the fantastic modern watches shown by the brand. We're talking the Heritage Chronograph, the Black Bay, the Pelagos, the Heritage Advisor, and the Ranger. Many of the watches mentioned here are direct results of historical watches from the Tudor archives, a rich bank of bright colors and risk-taking designs. Today, we are proud to present you with an unprecedented look inside the official archives of the Tudor Watch Company. Yes, these are the watches owned by Tudor themselves, many of which have never left its Geneva Headquarters – and this includes more than one prototype that was never put into production.
The Tudor name goes all the way back to 1926, when Hans Wilsdorf registered the name as one of a few that he hoped to build out into an entire family of watch companies. For more on the early days of the Rolex empire, read Ben's exhaustive look inside Rolex here. By the early '30s, one would begin to see the name on dials sparingly. One of the earliest known examples is this tonneau-shaped case made for an Australian retailer.
While Tudor was indeed always a totally separate brand from its big brother, it did share in many of the Crown's technical advances. This Oyster Prince, featured here with "Big Rose" logo, is both self-winding and waterproof, two tenets of this family's values.
The Advisor, which dates to 1957, was one of the earliest forays into truly unique developments for the mark. The alarm watch, a supremely functional concept back then, remains part of Tudor's DNA.
While the 1950s Advisors are the most well known, Tudor revived the Advisor in the 1970s using a case that may look familiar to some. These watches are extremely rare, and really feel so '70s.
In 1954, Tudor took a step into the world that we most associate it with – sport watches. Here we see the very earliest Tudor Submariner, reference 7924. The case was was shared with early Rolex Submariners, while inside we saw the caliber 390 by Fleurier.
The reference 7923 that you see here is one of Tudor's rarest production watches, and an interesting one for any Rolex dive-watch collector. This reference is the only manually-wound dive watch from the family, ever. Because it's manual, the entire watch is quite a bit thinner than other subs. You also have unique pencil hands not seen on other Tudor Subs.
After the 7923 comes the "Big Crown" 7924, and then the reference 7928. The 7928 is the first Tudor Submariner to feature crown guards, and would set the stage for the second series of Tudor dive watches.
The reference 7016 is a game-changing watch for Tudor. No longer do we see Fleurier movements, but instead we see the ETA calibers that would power the Submariners for decades. While many 7016s are born with old-style dials and Mercedes hands, it is not uncommon to see them with snowflake hands and dials.
The reference 7021 is identical to the 7016, only this time it would have a date window.
The reference 9401 is the watch that would define Tudor through the 1970s, including the watch used by the French Navy, or Marine Nationale. Here you will see black-dialed watches first, which were quickly replaced by the now iconic blue snowflakes.
The 7900 Series Submariners would replace the iconic snowflakes by the early 1980s. With them would come the Mercedes-style hands and a more traditional dial.
One special example of this watch is the piece seen here – a prototype Submariner with burgundy bezel that would never see the light of day. It was indeed the inspiration for the Heritage Black Bay's colorway.
In 1970, we would see Tudor's first racing chronographs. The reference 7032 with steel bezel and 7031 with black tachymeter bezel would set the tone for its funky, color-filled watches of the next few decades.
While the 7032 and 7031 are indeed phenomenally rare and valuable vintage timepieces, neither can compare to the watch you see here. This is the reference 7033 and it is in fact a prototype watch that features a rotating 12-hour bezel. It was never put into production, but it inspired the Heritage Chronograph from just a few years back. You simply will not seen these, anywhere, and this example has lived inside the Tudor vault for over 40 years.
After the homeplates would come the 7100 series chronographs, or what many call the "Monte Carlo." There are a range of dial and bezel colors here, all sharing the same dial layouts and movements. While these watches are very popular, they do not compare to the rarity or value of the earlier homeplates. Still, they are great vintage chronographs that represent Tudor at its very best.
Up until now, all Tudor chronographs were manually wound, featuring one of two Valjoux calibers. With the introduction of the "Big Block" chronographs, we now see self-winding caliber and three registers.
Finally, the last "vintage" Tudor chronograph is the series 79000. The reference 79260 is the most well known, and includes the likes of the "Tudor Tiger Prince" watches.

Selling quality preowned items is as old as common sense. Yankee frugality and global knowledge came together and spawned the concept of creating a used building materials store here in Connecticut. John Powers, a Connecticut native, had seen building materials being reused all over the U.S. and abroad. Wanting his own community to have the same opportunity, he connected with enthusiastic people who shared his practical vision. Together, they founded The ReCONNstruction Center in 2003. Our Name The name of The ReCONNstruction Center came to light after thinking about what our goals were and where we were going to be located. The "Re" stands for Reuse and Recycle; CONN is an abbreviation for the state of Connecticut, in which we are incorporated; and "reconstruct" means to construct again. Put it all together, and the term "ReCONNstruction" symbolizes the rebirth of a building that incorporates used materials.
Donations: The ReCONNstruction Center functions similarly to a Salvation Army thrift or Goodwill Store, except that instead of accepting donated clothing and household goods, The ReCONNstruction Center accepts donations of unwanted, but perfectly usable building materials and fixtures. Find out more about our guidelines for donations. These materials are inventoried, priced, and displayed at the store to encourage shoppers to use the store as a resource. The Federal Government subsidizes environmental conservation, so donors are entitled to a charitable donation receipt that can be used to claim a tax deduction. The ReCONNstruction Center is open to the general public and is staffed by paid employees and volunteers.

THE ABCS OF LOVE WITH ADULT BABY CUPID (STILL YOUR FRIEND PRODUCTIONS) 2018 TORONTO FRINGE REVIEW
JULY 8, 2018 SAM MOONEY
The ABCs of Love with Adult Baby Cupid (Still Your Friend Productions) isn't in the 2018 Toronto Fringe printed program because they were asked to fill in for a show that dropped out at the last minute. It's a shame because this is a very funny show and more people should know about it and see it.
Admit it, you've always wanted to see a show where one of the characters is a grown man with a slightly "less-than-perfect" body whose costume is a pair of wings, a blonde wig, and an adult diaper.
The show was written by Kristin Mueller-Heaslip, who plays herself, and Adam Bailey, who plays Adult Baby Cupid.
While I was waiting for the show to start Mueller-Heaslip, a soprano with a background in opera, played a keyboard and sang. There were a few points in the song where she sang "Clap your hands…" and I would have but I couldn't find the beat. It was that kind of slow, smooth song that you hear at a recital. She looked very prim and serious. It seemed like a strange thing to have before a show giving love and sex advice.
Then she started to play and sing an old rock and roll song to call Cupid to the stage. She played and sang the same way as before and the audience cracked up. And kept cracking up for the rest of the show.
The thing that made this a wonderful show for me was that it could easily have just gone for the cheap laughs – which was kind of what I was expecting. It didn't. Well, sometimes it did, but it managed to stay funny and do a little gentle teaching/reinforcing at the same time.
There was a very funny skit about enthusiastic consent performed by two people picked from the audience, assisted by Cupid and Kristen. Not what I expected, but I loved it.
I also loved that they gave terrific answers to the questions 'from the audience' and acknowledged that things have changed in a post #metoo world…And kept it funny.
Bailey's Adult Baby Cupid spoke with a kind of baby talk lisp; replacing R and L with W – "wun widdow baby". He sustained it for the whole show, I have no idea how. (In my notes I wrote W for L&R. When I got home and looked at it I had no idea what it meant until I wrote this.)
I loved the way that Bailey and Mueller-Heaslip worked together. In the show they were supposed to have worked together for years and it really seemed as if they had. They had some great back story early in the show about places where demonstrators had attacked them and where they had been put in jail or hadn't been able to finish the show. At the end of the show they were over the moon with joy because they had actually finished a show.
I plan to tell everyone I know to go and see it. It's fun and funny, a great way to spend and hour. You should go.
VIEW MAGAZINE (HAMILTON FRINGE REVIEW)
The ABCs of Love with Adult Baby Cupid (B) Chelsea Dinsmore MY ENTERTAINMENT WORLD
A late addition to this year's Fringe Festival, The ABCs of Love with Adult Baby Cupid is an off-kilter, entertaining variety show about love and relationships in the post #MeToo world. Affecting a babyish lisp (think The Impressive Clergyman in The Princess Bride), Adam Bailey goes all in as Adult Baby Cupid. He's pretty much what you'd expect from the name, a grown man wearing nothing but an adult diaper, a blonde wig, and a pair of wings. Accompanied by his long-time assistant (Kristen Mueller-Heaslip, playing herself), Cupid's romantic advice show travels from coast to coast, sparking protests wherever it goes. Lamenting the good ol' days when letters seeking romantic advice were straightforward, Cupid notes that "now most of the questions are about situational ethics", with the most common question being, "like dude, is it even safe to talk to a woman anymore?" The material is timely and the take on it surprisingly astute as Cupid and Kristin arrive at the conclusion that maybe women are better equipped to answer questions about love and relationships themselves. Opera-trained Heaslip plays the straight man to Bailey's clownish character, and sets the scene nicely before the show begins by singing classical versions of romantic songs in a sweet soprano. The advice given throughout the show is actually pretty good, as Cupid and Kristen discuss topics that include informing your partner of your kinks, and the idea of enthusiastic consent. The ABCs of Love with Adult Baby Cupid isn't as humourous as I expected it to be, but what it lacks in laughs, it makes up for with insightful commentary on love, consent, and relationships in the post #MeToo era.
CHRISTOPHER HOILE- NOW MAGAZINE NNN
The ABCs Of Love is a ramshackle two-person variety show weakly combining music, clown and Dear Abby-style advice on love. It may be a late entry in this year's Fringe, but co-star Adam Bailey is well-known here from several previous Fringe shows, like last year's The Life of Henri.
Bailey's Adult Baby Cupid is just what you'd imagine – a husky guy naked except for an adult diaper and wings. He may lack a red nose but this is a clown persona as undisciplined as a baby and speaking what's not supposed to be said. As the ancient god Eros in Greece, Cupid finds the 21st century boring in its political correctness and demands for consent. He's tired of #MeToo complaints from men and women and wants to bring back old-fashioned romantic love.
To bring him up to date is Kristin Mueller-Heaslip, who tries to censor views Cupid wants to express that may cause protests. Not only is Mueller-Heaslip a genial comedian adept at off-the-cuff remarks, but she has a lovely soprano voice. Her singing of piano arrangements of 20th-century pop hits is really more of a pleasure than Bailey's all-over-the-place character. Till you hear her you'd never know how good New Order's Bizarre Love Triangle sounds as a classical art song.
Raise The Hammer Review by Bryan Boodhoo
(We normally don't publish negative reviews but his guy HATED the show)
This show was not my cup of tea. When it played in Toronto Fringe festival a few weeks ago, NOWcritic Christopher Hoile called it a "mixed bag". Mixed indeed. The piano playing and singing of Kristen Mueller-Heaslip is truly lovely, but probably not strong enough to stand out on its own. Still, it was quite enjoyable to listen to her fill the void of the pre-show auditorium with her tunes. She seemed to be somewhat unresponsive to the audience, however. Whenever they applauded, she cut it off quickly with another show tune, like the audience being there was just a disturbance.
Some time later, Adam Bailey appeared on stage in adult diapers and under-sized feather wings attached to his back. He spoke in an affected voice and would have us believe that he is an adult baby cupid. He got right in the face of audience members, making for a very awkward experience, one which I did not appreciate or enjoy.
At some points, the actors refer to their show as a variety show, at other times a clown show, and near the end they admit that it lacks plot. To me, it seemed more like a lecture with some musical interludes, but I have to admit, I'm not sure what kind of show it was.
Ostensibly, I believe the main purpose of the show was to teach the audience about consent in the #metoo age, but there was so much going on that I could be wrong on that. There was a moment when the audience was reminded that women were once property, and that romantic love was an invention. It was totally unclear to me, when two members of the audience were brought on stage to read a script about consent, if I was supposed to be educated, or if it was farce.
Although the show did acknowledge that it embraced a Western-centric, hetro-normative view of love, it really felt limited in its viewpoint. The beginning of the show started with some lip-synching to canned music, and seemed to engender some kind of sympathy for confused males.
Meanwhile, on the pulldown screen, portraits of disgraced Hollywood brass were flashed across the screen. This included Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein, both of who are currently facing criminal charges. It's a little trite to conflate these men with confused males for my taste, even if it's done in jest.
Also, the show seemed to add on a conversation about cultural appropriation, but only long enough to satirize it. Again, I was left confused. What, exactly, was the point? Perhaps it was to fill space, as the show was billed as being 80 minutes but had a runtime of closer to 60 minutes.
In the end, reviews are only one person's opinion of a performance on a particular night. There are some reviewers out there that found more value in this show than I did, like Mooney on Theatre. To me, Cupid's arrow missed the mark, as I was left me bewildered and bemused, despite the accomplished music of the show. Still, kudos should to be given to any theatre artists who have the courage to come to Fringe and take big risks.

Commercial Broker Sees Healthy Market in 2016
February 22, 2016 – By Richard Westlund for Progress & Innovation
Jeffrey Chamberlin expects a strong year for the Treasure Coast's commercial real estate market.
"We have seen a steady increase in demand for space," said Chamberlin, broker and president, SLC Commercial. "That's put upward pressure on pricing, which should continue this year. It's a very healthy market, and this should be a good year for sellers and landlords."
Chamberlin's forecast is based on 25 years of experience in the Treasure Coast commercial market. He formed SLC Commercial in the early 1990s, and has assisted buyers and sellers with transactions throughout the region, into Palm Beach and Broward to the south, and Brevard and Orange counties to the north.
Today, the Stuart-based regional firm has three support staff at its headquarters and 10 full-time salespeople in Stuart, a satellite office in Port St. Lucie and an affiliate in Vero Beach.
"Our Treasure Coast commercial market tends to be very local," Chamberlin said. "We don't get a large influx of outside investors from the U.S. or international locations. More typically, an entrepreneur or professional from the Northeast who already has a second home in our area will open a business here. That's been the primary driver for our office market."
While the region's office sector was relatively quiet in 2015, there was growing activity in the retail and industrial sectors, according to Chamberlin. Grocery stores, coffee shops, gas stations and fast-food restaurants are among the retailers looking for high-traffic locations throughout the area.
"We have seen large national retailers return to the Treasure Coast," Chamberlin said. "It's not just the brands that exited during the recession. Demand is coming from new retailers like Aldi, Wawa and RaceTrac convenience stores. In fact, we have several income-producing shopping centers under contract at sale prices in the $2 million to $4 million range. Anything that produces income is hot these days."
In December, SLC Commercial handled the sale of a 4.5-acre commercial property on U.S. 1 in Stuart to Konover South. The real estate company purchased the site for more than $2 million and plans a 30,000-square-foot retail development, Chamberlin said.
The region's industrial sector is also springing back to life.
"We had been heavily overbuilt since the mid-2000s and vacancy rates in some parks were in the 50 percent range," Chamberlin said. "Now, we're moving back to more traditional vacancy levels, particularly in Martin County. We have also seen a considerable improvement in marine and aviation manufacturing, which has increased demand for additional industrial space."
In contrast, the Treasure Coast's hospitality and healthcare markets are fairly slow this winter. There was a surge in hotel construction, even when the regional economy was struggling, and currently there is little demand for more space, Chamberlin said.
Demand for medical offices and healthcare facilities is also slow at the moment, except for locations near Tradition Medical Center in western Port St. Lucie. However, SLC Commercial recently sold a 30,000-square-foot office building in Palm City to the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) of Florida. It will be an 88-bed assisted living facility for the VNA, which has existing facilities in Okeechobee and Jensen Beach, Chamberlin said.
Most new commercial construction involves renovation of existing facilities or new build-to-suit projects for owners or tenants, according to Chamberlin.
"We are not seeing speculative projects yet, but that may occur later in the year. As demand picks up, we may see companies constructing large warehouses for their own use, and leasing out the additional space," Chamberlin said. "That's a sign of how much our market has come back in the past year."

The Lean Startup method teaches entrepreneurs and startups to get to market fast with a "Minimum Viable Product" in order to generate the "Maximum Validated Learning." Instead of focusing on the question, "Can this product be built?", entrepreneurs are urged to ask, "Should this product be built?" and "Can we build a sustainable business around this set of products and services?" The Lean Startup method teaches startups to use an iterative process: Build, Measure, Learn, Repeat. The goal is to avoid the pitfall of spending too much time planning before getting to market and getting feedback from customers.
Startup teams sometimes interpret this advice to mean that planning is a waste of time. Because they are so overwhelmed with all of the tasks they must accomplish, and the extreme uncertainty they are facing, they often feel that time for planning is a luxury they cannot afford. However, in my experience, "Just do it" is not the best operating principle for startups to follow. Building a minimum viable product, and generating maximum validated learning in the least amount of time, requires coordinated effort that can only be achieved by planning. The challenge is how to achieve the right level of planning. Too much time spent on planning is a waste, and too little time spent leads to confused priorities, unclear and conflicting roles, and ultimately, to poor performance.
Minimum Viable Planning is a solution to this problem. As with the Minimum Viable Product, the Minimum Viable Plan is not designed to be perfect. It is designed to provide the minimum amount of information needed to guide and coordinate team activities. Through use, over time, the plan should be refined and improved to meet the specific needs of the team. The goal is to generate Maximum Validated Learning through an iterative process: Assess, Plan, Implement, Learn and Repeat.
• Have you specified the key results you must achieve? Have you clarified who is accountable for achieving them?
• Do team members agree that your plan has the right level of specificity to focus and align team efforts?
• Is the tam prepared to track progress against your plan, and modify it based on experience, so that it becomes more useful over time?

Irrigation: What's Best for My Yard?
Humans have always relied on rain. Whether we need it for growing our crops, filling our streams, or filling our wells with drinking water, rainfall has been equated with survival. While we have changed and grown, we have figured out great ways to help us harness the power of the rain and use it where it is needed. Just one of the ways we do this is through irrigation.
With irrigation, people are able to easily water their grass and other plants with more precision and less waste. In order to get the best irrigation system for your yard, it is best to design your system with the help of a professional. A professional can help you determine where your yard might need more or less watering assistance through irrigation. For example, grass is a very thirsty plant that requires a lot of water. However, should your yard have some sloping areas in it, you may end up with puddles after a large rainfall, which are prime targets for mosquitoes to breed. A well-designed irrigation system can help ensure that the areas of your lawn that are often dry will receive the water they need in order to thrive.
A well-working irrigation system can be assisted through the use of water-conserving measures, such as adjustable timers and well-placed sprinkler heads, in order to best serve the plants and grasses of your property. Even areas that see frequent downpours of rain can use irrigation systems to help regulate the watering of their properties. If you would like to know more about how our professionals at Unlimited Property Solutions can assist you with your irrigation system, please contact us today for more information. We would love to help you ensure that your property is the healthiest it has ever been this year.
