From Flyover Country
[pdf id=29434]
Bull. I get tired of the flyover bull since Texas is the middle of the US and is growing much faster than California or New York which are losing population. In fact New York City and La are considered flyover country while Nashville and Houston are considered vibrant and growing. In fact the greater Nashville area gain about 40,000 jobs from New York. George is dated. This is why the Dems were interested in fast growing Texas and Georgia.
George keeps whining about Michigan, Pa and Wisconsin which have themselves to blame for slow population growth and people moving to the South. Michigan has lost residents to Alabama since Toyota is expanding faster in Huntsville than the big three are in Detroit.
Its true, the south is considered now more important than Ca or NY since places like Texas and Georgia are growing while Ca and Ny are losing jobs and people to the south, in particular places like Tn, Texas, Georgia, and Florida. A car headquarters of a Japanese company moved from California to Franklin Tn. What flyover country is there in the fast growing regions of the south.
Petros says
Same is true for Texas (where I'm from), McKesson and all of these high-profile companies are coming to Texas and bringing Californians with them…which makes most Texans unhappy. You can drive down the road, even in places like Dallas, and see "Go back to California" billboards. Ironically, all of the Cali people I have met in Texas (at least outside of Austin) have all been Republican and were fleeing California. All of the liberal Californians seem to be going to the Austin Metro. They haven't managed to do to Texas what they did to Colorado & Oregon…yet.
The fact that Dems didn't gain any seats in Texas and Trump garnering well over 40% in Bexar County (home of San Antonio) is quite amazing. Bexar & San Antonio are Dem strongholds. Republicans even flipped a county in the RGV which is massively Hispanic & Democrat

Anybody who has ever lived in Detroit and beent to Hamtramck would love any where in the South.
The only thing I remember with fondness are the Coney Island Hot Dog places. Somehow the old, run down grime of the place made the hot dogs taste better.
Fr. Andrei Alexiev says
You can get a Coney dog anywhere in the Detroit area, Hamtramck is better known for the Polish restaurants with their cuisine. I lived in the area twenty-seven years. Granted, it is not the Polish enclave it used to be.
On a more serious note, I ask everyone here to pray for my son, the Reader Mark . He suffered the loss of his wife Catherine three years ago. He is going through difficult times. Prayers would be appreciated .
Of course, Fr! Please forgive me, I didn't see your comment and I was being flippant (regarding Coney Islands).
The Reader Mark will be in our prayers tonight and for the foreseeable future.
Of course, Father.
Indeed. Coney Islands are a gift from the Good Lord Himself.
No offense taken, George! I remember you and Gail in my morning prayers. And His Grace Bishop Tikhon, a native Detroiter.
Thank you, Father.
Indeed! Thank you as well.
Sidney Powell on Dominion's international corruption: https://youtu.be/zMDtOtGFrYg
FTS says
I read this quote from Lenin today on pravoslavie.ru/English and it is so chilling – how much does this quote sound like modern leftists and the modern American Democrat party:
"Telling the truth is a petty bourgeois prejudice, while lying, to the contrary, is often justified by its end." -V. Lenin
Yes, the modern American Democrats indeed breathe and live in the spirit of Lenin. May God have mercy on us.
I went searching for the source of the Lenin quote: "Telling the truth is a petty bourgeois prejudice, while lying, to the contrary, is often justified by its end." The article on https://orthochristian.com/ cites Lenin's words as coming "from the recollections of Yu. P. Annenkov" .
The quote can be found in an article that Yuri P. Annenkov wrote entitled "Lenin and the Deaf-Mutes" reprinted in the publication Life Lines: A Patriotic Voice of Freedom (1966) , which is posted online in the link given. Annenkov's article originally appeared in The Bulletin of the Institute for the Study of the U.S.S.R. in Munich, Germany .
After Lenin died on January 21, 1924 , the artist Annenkov (then still living in the Soviet Union, which he later fled , ending up in Paris) was invited to the V.I. Lenin Institute to examine photographic documents which were intended as the basis for illustrations in books about Lenin (which Annenkov would illustrate). Annenkov writes that he "came across a mass of photographs, printed articles, and manuscripts " among which were "brief, fragmentary notes hurriedly jotted down by Lenin in his own hand" . "These notes dated 1921, struck my fancy and for no particular reason I copied them surreptitiously in my notebook. Soon afterwards these pages of Lenin's jottings disappeared from the Institute and were hidden away in the Party archives."
One of the Lenin quotes copied down by Annenkov is the source of "Telling the truth is a petty bourgeois prejudice, while lying, to the contrary, is often justified by its end."
The full quote (and others) may be read in Annenkov's article "Lenin and the Deaf-Mutes" here: https://www.jstor.org/stable/community.28145988?seq=2#metadata_info_tab_contents
Lenin's words, as copied by Annenkov are:
"Speaking the truth is a petty bourgeois prejudice. A lie , on the other hand , is often justified by the end. Capitalists the world over and their governments will , in their desire to win the Soviet market , shut their eyes to the above-mentioned activities (see the article) and will thus be turned into blind deaf-mutes. They will furnish credits, which will serve us as a means of supporting the Communist parties in their countries , and , by supplying us with materials and techniques which are not available to us, will rebuild our war industry , which is essential for our future attacks on our suppliers. In other words, they will be laboring to prepare their own suicide."
Brendan says
"...they will be laboring to prepare their own suicide."
China, not the Soviet Union, is the instrument du jour.
Gail & George, what'r your thoughts on all the buzz around the "Great Reset" that has been going around? Curious what your take on it is
Yes, we've got a lot to write about with Agenda 21, how it was supposed to start in 2016 and then "Trump happened." The UN has been busy my friend.
My 2 cents: horribly bad evil terrible idea.
I wish we had an aristocracy instead of the kakistocracy we presently have. Mitt Romney, chickenhawk:
https://thefederalist.com/2020/11/18/mitt-romney-who-avoided-military-service-during-vietnam-says-20-years-in-afghanistan-isnt-long-enough/
At least W served in the Texas Air National Guard. I guess we could also say that John McCain came by his warmongering honestly.

This is very, very good. I encourage you to read it. It explains the apparent anomalies with white working class voters.
Good analysis. Let's hope it is followed up.
If Creepy Joe succeeds in stealing this election, it's going to be a hellacious four years.
Below is a link that presages the chaos that will ensue:
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2020/11/20/black-female-police-chief-in-virginia-fired-after-aggressively-investigating-and-prosecuting-mob-violence-n2580370
Long story short: black, female police chief is fired for doing her job. She didn't get the memo that some criminals are more equal than others.
Perhaps the leftist autophagy will burn itself out within a few years. In the meantime, if I were Joe, I wouldn't walk in front of Kamasutra as their going down the stairs.
It may very well spiral out of control very quickly if Biden is inaugurated, which I still think will not happen.
Whatever else anyone is saying in the MSM and DNC, everyone knows the underlying reality. They just can't admit it and remain in power. A friend of Edward Snowden once remarked, "You can't awaken someone who is only pretending to be asleep."
And what is also true is that America has never had a president whose election was demonstrably fraudulent and illegitimate. According to the very rules which legitimize the game such an imposter is a tyrant by definition. That will not go over well with the militia crowd, nor the NRA crowd, nor the wider 2A crowd. In fact, it has the potential to create a majoritarian insurrection.
I remember hearing about a story of one Southern town where a businessman/Boss Hogg type political operative got ahold of too much power and created an intolerably oppressive situation. No Buford Pusser arose.
In the end, one sunny day as he was driving his truck down the main street in town, four or five shotguns appeared coming through his driver's and passenger's side windows all at once. Shots fired, game over, no witnesses. Not one. Broad daylight, weekend afternoon. Main street.
Musta been those wascally Wussians.
It reminds me of an incident in the town of Skidmore, MO about 30 or so years ago. The local bully had had a reign of terror over the townspeople. It did not end well for him.
While I agree with Adam Smith that "there is a lot of ruin in a nation", I don't foresee the United States being able to slough off into a national irrelevence a la Britain or France (or Greece or Italy). For one thing, those other countries were mostly homogeneous and their decrepitude could be mitigated by the shared bonds of ethnic solidarity, for another, their foundational myths were based on those shared, genetic bonds.
These United States on the other hand, discarded their common ancestry sometime in the 1920s and came up with the nonsense that we are a "propositional nation" instead. That's why when the collapse as a political entity comes it will be sudden and swift.
However, that is not to say that it will be widespread. Like the Roman Empire, it will collapse (violently I presume) in those regions which have been deracinated and destroyed by governments which have engaged in disastrous fiscal policies (i.e. Illinois), while those regions which have some semblance of fiscal and demographic sanity (the Midwest, the Far West, parts of the South), will escape largely unscathed.
This thing is going to boil down to the balls of the Republican Party, not Trump's. If he can't rally them to steal the election back, they won't have the balls to do it on their own. They've been dhimmis too long.
I think the dynamic of this thing, based on actions to date, will be that Team Trump will use the courts as their public venue to demonstrate their evidence in an environment where it can be subjected to expert professional criticism to establish its veracity.
That's what Powell is promising within the next two weeks. I assume she means opening statements and plaintiff's case in chief should be presented in these cases by then. After that you will have defendants' cases, etc.
The beauty is that you get two sets of bites at the apple. One is the court, the other is the legislature which is also watching. A court may choose to throw out X number of ballots AND/OR the legislature may conclude they aren't going to send electors based on a vote that has been demonstrated in open court to be fraudulent.
Either way, it should be over in all but the mechanics by Dec. 14th.
Given that they cannot rely on the Media to report honestly,
I suspect Powell is keeping her powder dry until the last possible moment.
It reminds me of the 1812 Overture, when the vaunting La Marseillaise
is blown away by cannon and the Russian hymn triumphantly supplants it.
[Oh yes! Blame the Russians!]
Well, I hope that's the score.
"If Creepy Joe succeeds in stealing this election,
it's going to be a hellacious four years."
Four? Or forty?

We are all falling into the modernist trap of thinking the Federal Government is supreme. That is not how the U. S. Constitution was conceived and written. There has certainly been a lot of blood, sweat and tears shed to convince everybody of the opposite starting in 1832. However the Constitution itself has never actually been rewritten in that manner. Therefore there are still substantial remedies available if the states grow a pair and choose to exercise them. The certification of the vote and choosing electors is one. There are others. That is one reason I am no really keen on marching on Washington. Coordinated marches and action on the state level would have more impact and chance of success. My friends over at The Tenth Amendment Center (Tenth Amendment Center: Welcome to the Tenther and Nullification Movement) are working hard to educate an promote the actual facts and remedies in the Constitution itself.
The full text of the 10th Amendment:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
It is perhaps the most ignored part of the Constitution, but it is still there. The key word is "delegated" . The Federal government has no inherent power or authority except what we give it.
"…or to the people."
This reads very like Lord Cooper's dictum (McCormick v Lord Advocate, 1953):
"the unlimited sovereignty of Parliament is a distinctively English principle
which has no counterpart in Scottish constitutional law."
The problem is: how do the people exercise their sovereignty when Parliaments or Federal and State Governments, Press and Media consistently ignore them?
Brendan, there are fundamentally three ways:
1. A well organized and balanced polity that punishes corruption when exposed (we lost that sometime in the early 19th century);
2. People en masse simply refusing to obey;
3. Formal organized nullification in which smaller units of government formally refuse (state, county, local)
The last time states together nullified resulted in Civil War. The fact that they did so over an odious system of slavery and economic stupidity ended up crushing that option.
It started long before that when the political ideology of "union" came into favor over true Federalism. Andrew Jackson believed in political union with a mystical intensity. His threat to send Federal troops into South Carolina in 1832 was the real beginning of Civil War.
His famous toast "Liberty and Union one and inseparable" in the face of his arch rival, John C. Calhoun was a paraphrase of Daniel Webster.
Jackson changed forever Presidential Politics in the country and none of his changes were for the better.
He was a slave holding autocrat from the frontier state of Tennessee who hated the old establishment and wanted it destroyed. So Federal autocracy devoid of any real "advise and consent" was born. As was true party politics. To the victor go the spoils.
Nullification got both a bad name and was emasculated because the right deed was done for the wrong reason.
In the electoral rules of the time whomever came in second in the Presidential race became Vice-president. John C Calhoun became VP. Think Hillary being Trump's sitting VP and President of the Senate.
Jackson and Calhoun hated, despised and loathed each other.
Our country and our politics changed forever because of their hatred of each other and the lengths each was willing to go to destroy the other.
Since Jackson won, true federalism was destroyed and the effective, large scale use of nullification with it.
That leaves us with #2 organized "civil disobedience".
For that to work large scale requires a unified appeal to our moral conscience. Unfortunately the organ used to amplify that conscience in the past(the press) has sold out. As has most of the natural moral-spiritual leaders it seems.
Trump cannot lead it, any more than John C. Calhoun could.
There may be isolated sanctuary counties but all the state has to do is shut down the power grid for a couple of days to crush that resistance if they want.
"Resistence is futile, you will be assimilated"
There is a new player in the Power Game:
"Boiled down to its essence, the SCN [Strong Cities Network] is actually a new law-enforcement body whose laws will govern participating cities, including New York, Atlanta, Denver, and Minneapolis, that have already signed on as members."
https://unitynewsnetwork.co.uk/the-strong-cities-network-a-global-police-force-controlled-by-the-united-nations/#google_vignette
"Law-enforcement measures for these cities will dovetail with or emanate from the ISD [Institute for Strategic Dialogue] and the UN, not from the U.S. Constitution by-passing locally elected officials and the laws governing them."
Apparently they have State Department funding
Just as I predicted, even the Democrats are going after Big Tech:
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/more-than-40-states-to-join-antitrust-lawsuit-against-facebook-report
So far, at least 40 states Attorneys General are filing a lawsuit to break up Facebook. Clearly some of them have to be Democrats.

On The Spot | Raul Jimenez
On today's edition, Raul Jimenez randomly selects ten questions as he's put on the spot on a wide range of topics.
#5 Who is the best opposition player you've faced?
Van Dijk. Last season our battles were amazing and I had troubles with him in both matches and I think he's a great player who is only going to get better.
#9 Who is your funniest team-mate?
I think Joao Moutinho. He's always joking around and making us laugh. He gets a little bit angry sometimes too, but he's the one we love most.
#12 How do you keep entertained on away trips?
When we are on the bus or the planes, I download series or movies to watch on my iPad while travelling. When we're in the hotel, I like to play some kind of gun games on the Xbox with my team-mates.
#14 What is your favourite TV programme of all time?
Dragon Ball. It's an anime that I have watched since I was like seven-years-old, and I've never missed an episode. Even now, I still watch the new movies and the new episodes when it's on TV.
#21 What is the worst thing you've ever bought?
There are some things that I have bought off the internet and when they have arrived, they have been completely different. I once bought a controller for the Xbox and I didn't even know how to connect it! It was a waste of money.
#23 What is your guilty pleasure?
I love desserts. I know that many people like them, but as a footballer they're not too common and not really something we should have because our diet is all about being healthy. I like them very much – cheesecake, ice cream; all of them! Desserts are the best food in the restaurants.
#30 What would you make illegal that isn't already?
If something is illegal then it would be that way for a reason, so I don't know if there is anything that should be that already isn't.
#33 How do you get in the zone for a game?
When we arrive to Molineux, or at the opponent's stadium, I always try to go out and see the pitch, then I get dressed in the kit, go through activations, and warm-up. Nothing specific, but I just try to make it the same every time.
#39 What other Premier League footballer is closest to you in playing style?
I think I have different characteristics from some players, but maybe I have some similarities with Firmino and Aguero. They are very good players and I follow them and try to be similar.
#47 Who would you like to play you in a movie of your life?
I'm Mexican, so I'd want a Mexican actor to play me. Maybe Gael Garcia Bernal could do it.

Didn't want to do disservice to world of kabaddi: Abhishek Bachchan on Sons of the Soil
Didn't want to do disservice to world of kabaddi: Abhishek Bachchan on Sons of the Soil
Abhishek Bachchan said it was during the filming of his digital debut, Breathe: Into the Shadows, that he had several interactions with the Amazon team over the possibility of making a documentary on Jaipur Pink Panthers.
By: PTI | Mumbai | December 5, 2020 4:14:26 pm

Actor Abhishek Bachchan says he was initially concerned that the Amazon Prime Video sports documentary Sons of the Soil: Jaipur Pink Panthers, about his Kabaddi team as it might portray the sport in a "negative manner".
Produced by BBC Studios India and directed by two-time BAFTA Scotland winner Alex Gale, the series follows the journey of Jaipur Pink Panthers in the seventh season of the Pro Kabaddi League.
Bachchan said he was relieved that even the makers of the show didn't want to present a "sugar-coat" reality to the viewers.
"I was concerned about them portraying the Kabaddi world in a negative manner. I said, 'Look, please don't do disservice to the sport or to the world and family of kabaddi.' The makers were also particular, that they're not interested in doing a superficial piece.
"They were clear they wanted to show it as it is and not sugar-coat anything. That was a wonderful decision because it helps you emotionally invest more in the characters. You see their flaws, their tempers," Bachchan told PTI.
The series aims to provide a locker-room view of the team, including interactions with Panthers' owner Bachchan.
The 44-year-old actor said it was during the filming of his digital debut, Breathe: Into the Shadows, that he had several interactions with the Amazon team over the possibility of making a documentary on the team.
Also read | Abhishek Bachchan: Sons Of The Soil is an honest look at Jaipur Pink Panthers' journey
When the executives from the streaming platform witnessed one of the matches in a stadium, they could sense the high energy of the sport and decided to go ahead with the project.
Bachchan called Sons of the Soil: Jaipur Pink Panthers as an "immersive and no-holds-barred" documentary.
"It has a fly-on-the-wall treatment, where they follow the team throughout the season, when the team members go back to their villages. They've not felt any stone unturned, there's no filter attached to it. It's an honest portrayal and capturing of what all happens in a team."
The Ludo actor said the show closely follows the team members in how they deal with victory and pick themselves up after a defeat.
"The approach was emotional. It isn't a cold-bared documentation of a match. It captures the entire world beautifully," he added.
One of the fears which Bachchan had before starting the series was if the players would be comfortable enough to be themselves with a camera crew following them around.
The actor soon realised that after the initial awareness, the players eventually forgot of the existence of cameras.
"I realised after a couple of days, with somebody being around you for 24 hours, you forget that there are cameras around. You then see real emotions come out. The team seamlessly integrated with them (the crew) and were as natural as possible," he added.
Sons of the Soil: Jaipur Pink Panthers started streaming from Friday.

Happy 100th, Gene Roddenberry
The creator of Star Trek was born on August 19, 1921. Today would be his 100th birthday. Though he never went to space himself, he created a universe that would inspire many who actually did. In fact, in the 1970s NASA recruited Nichelle Nichols, who played Lieutenant Uhura, to recruit new astronauts, particularly women and people of color.
Science fiction became science fact when the first Space Shuttle was named Enterprise after a massive letter writing campaign convinced NASA to do it. The cast of the original series, as well as Roddenberry himself, were on hand at the public unveiling, featured as today's NASA Image of the Day. Although Enterprise also never flew into space, it was an extremely important proof of the Space Shuttle concept, particularly its ability to land like an airplane. (Later, the Space Shuttle Enterprise would appear on a display on the Starship Enterprise of previous ships of that name in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. How meta is that?)

Previous PostThese Guys Built a Motorcycle Out Of Harbor Freight PartsNext PostAs New York Auto Show Reveals Go Online, Where's the WRX?


Hello on this cold and snowy day. Today I have a card project I did to share with you. I saw a tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers for a building block card and decided I would give it a try. Now… I have a Cricut Explore so I thought why not try to create a cut file in Design Space to let my Cricut do some of the work for me. After a couple hours of work, I had the base file for the card. Now came the fun of creating a dressed up version.
The process of deciding on images and paper is definitely the hardest part of this design. I knew what I wanted it to say but didn't have enough "blocks" to say it. Here is where the Explore came in handy. I had it write one of the words on an image for me to add to a block. After I had the design figured out and the difficult task of selecting paper complete, I finally got all the pieces cut out. I absolutely love my Explore and the detailed images it is able to cut out. Check out the beautiful snowflake in the top corner! Assembly was pretty easy but I found a flaw in my design that I didn't like. I also noticed that the original tutorial hadn't addressed the same issue so it wasn't just my design. The area behind the blocks was open and I was worried the structure of the card would be compromised so I had to add another piece to the back. The card would be fine without it but the extra piece in the back covered up the smaller pieces from the blocks and also gave me a place to write a greeting since I had chosen such a busy print.
I f you have a Cricut Explore and would like the basic cut file, click here to get it. You can also find it in a group I am an admin in on Facebook called Cricut Design Space Group. This is a great group to join if you are looking for help and inspiration with your Cricut or Design Space. If you create a card with the file I created, I would love it if you would share it with me either here or on my Facebook page. Anyone who shares a card on my Facebook page, in the Design Space group or here on my blog made with the base file, I will include your work here on my blog. Can't wait to see what everyone creates.
You should be aware that many of us here have been banned from Cricut Design Space facebook so we are unable to get your beautiful file of Let it Snow. I appreciate the blank card though. Thank You!
I would be happy to send you the link to the blank card file. If anyone else is looking for it, have them contact me. I would love to see your version when you are done. I will feature it here on my blog for you and also on my Facebook page if you do.
WOW You definitely created one outstanding cut for a card…I am over whelmed by the fact that you just shared your card wow girl I'm sure Cricut will be asking you to create a cartridge…with all of your fabulous designs and I will buy one. YOU ROCK!!

New roll-out of mental health hubs for maternity patients and staff
A nationwide roll-out of new mental health hubs for NHS maternity services has been announced today.
NHS England is aiming for every area to have a dedicated mental health hub by April 2024, as laid-out in the NHS Long Term Plan.
The new services will be aimed at mothers who are struggling with bereavement and/or their mental health. As well as offering mental health services, the hubs will also provide training to maternity staff and midwives.
NHS England Chief Executive Simon Stevens, said: "The pregnancy and the birth of a new child are a special time for families but if things go wrong it can have a huge impact on women, their partners and even other children. That is why the NHS is developing maternal mental health services to help them get back on track as part of our Long Term Plan."
10 of the 26 hubs will be open in the coming months, with the rest aiming to be launched by this time next year.
The 10 hubs that are set to open soon are listed below:
Birmingham and Solihull
Kent and Medway
Lancashire and South Cumbria
Shropshire Telford and Wrekin
South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw.
Emily Slater, CEO of the Maternal Mental Health Alliance, said: "The Maternal Mental Health Alliance (MMHA) welcomes this positive step towards achieving ambitions for perinatal mental health laid out in the Long Term Plan.
"For the more than one in 10 expectant and new mothers experiencing mental health problems, and the increased numbers as a result of the pandemic, there needs to be a system of care available to support them. These new services will enable more women than ever to access vital perinatal mental health care.
"The MMHA is keen to see training for all staff who interact with women and their families in the perinatal period, so we also welcome the role these services will play in upskilling the maternity workforce, alongside providing much-needed support."

With many library closures across the county a group of volunteers from Kirby Muxloe formed a steering committee and with support from the Leicester County Council, Parish Council and local residents agreed a way forward whereby the library could continue to provide a service and more to the benefit of the local community.
The library closed for 1 week at the end of March 2017 to allow for some changes and refurbishment to be made to the library and meeting room prior to re-opening on the 10th April 2017.
The library is currently being operated by our volunteers under the guidance and management of Leicestershire County Council. This will continue until an outstanding legal matter is resolved, when the formal hand over will be completed.
We would hope that you will continue to support us by using the library and its facilities as much as possible.
When the library is formally handed over then we intend to have a grand opening.

The Astonishing Mercedes Benz A45 AMG
January 18, 2013 Tony Dewhurst Leave a comment
It's going to take a while to get used to this. Mercedes Benz cars are supposed to be big, imposing and luxurious. Owning a Mercedes Benz means you are a significant member of society. You have the money to buy a Mercedes and the taste to appreciate Mercedes styling and the legacy of the brand.
What if the car isn't significant in size or looks? What if it doesn't look like a Mercedes Benz? A Mercedes that looks ordinary is like a three star Michelin restaurant selling Rice Crispy treats. Those treats better have something extraordinary in them. Luckily, Mercedes Benz let the clever people at AMG have the car with permission to do whatever they want. Mercedes-AMG GmbH is the performance expert for Mercedes Benz. They're responsible for the frighteningly fast Black series of Mercedes Benz performance cars.
The A45 AMG is the same size and shape as any other sub-compact. It's got five doors, the essentially fastback design with (when viewed from the side) an oval for the passengers and a box for the engine and the general look of a second or third car. It also carries a $50,000 price tag.

You Know the Drill: New Apparel Business Highlights Drilling
Jennifer Robertson owns Drillers Life Inc., an Elon, N.C., company that specializes in drilling-themed apparel. Source: Drillers Life photos
After years of seeing bumper stickers promoting various hobbies and industries, Jennifer came up with the idea to start a business that did the same for drilling.
The fact that Jennifer's husband, Joshua, is a third-generation water well driller played a huge part in Jennifer's inspiration. Together, the two now run Drillers Life LLC and Triad Drilling Inc.
KEYWORDS geothermal drilling / water well drilling / well drilling / You Know the Drill
For years, Jennifer Robertson has seen things like "Salt Life" bumper stickers on the backs of cars whose owners are beach regulars. She remembers ending up behind a truck a few years back that had a "Loggers Life" sticker on it. "I'm like, 'Well, that's cool. They should have a Drillers Life.' … So I created it," she says.
Drillers Life LLC, in production for less than a year now, makes apparel including T-shirts, hats, hoodies, jackets and sweatshirts that are drilling themed. The clothing gives drillers and their family members an opportunity to flaunt the work they do and share their specialty with the wider world. Everything is sold on the website drillerslife.com, except for the occasional tradeshows Jennifer sets up a booth at, including the South Atlantic Jubilee back in June and the National Ground Water Association's Groundwater Week this December.
So far, so good, she says. The T-shirts are the most popular, with baseball caps coming in a close second. "We have been met with such positivity. The people that have stopped and talked to me or emailed me or messaged me on social media have been very excited. They really like what they're seeing."
The Drillers Life vision did not come out of thin air. Drilling holds a special place in Jennifer's heart because it is how her family makes a living. Her husband, Joshua, is a third-generation driller who grew up accompanying his father on well drilling jobs. After graduating from college with a business degree, he came home and decided to start his own business. In 2000, he bought his first rig and went to work, founding Elon, N.C.-based Triad Drillers Inc., which is still going strong.
Jennifer met Joshua in 1999, fresh out of college. Since she'd gone to school to get a degree in horticulture, she was used to being outside like he was, but had never seen a rig before. "Pretty quick after we met, I lost my job in the greenhouse business I was working for and his employee quit. So I went to work for him," Jennifer says.
Now that Drillers Life has been launched, Jennifer is working to spread awareness of the brand. She says the newness of the business means most people don't know it exists. Another challenge she faces is that a number of drillers don't use the drilling equipment she is familiar with because they don't specialize in water wells or geothermal like Triad Drillers, or they don't deal with the same geology. Something she is grateful for is a group of friends who work in graphic design. It means she is able to take an idea to them and they get it printed for her. Everything that goes into the drilling-themed apparel is locally sourced. Because she's still learning about the variety of drilling tools used, Jennifer says she is open to ideas and wants to hear what drillers are looking for.
Q. What do you do and what keeps you coming back every day?
A. I do a little bit of everything. My main job with Drillers Life is to design and create logos, and the designs that go on the T-shirts and the hats. We're also doing decals for toolboxes or hardhats or the back of your car. So that's my primary focus, is to find those universal designs that anybody in the water well industry will know what they are. It's a little bit challenging because there are, I'm going to call them, old-school images like the old hand pumps and the covered well houses that people used to make. To put a new spin on that and create something more modern is a bit of a challenge because everybody knows what that is and they're like, "We've seen that before." To find something new, that's where I spend a lot of my time is trying to find something that people will like.
Q. What does a typical workday involve?
A. Typically I get up in the morning and one of the first things I do is either answer emails, make phone calls or sit down and design. I typically do most of my best design work first thing in the morning. After that I kind of have to pick up and do our other business and make phone calls or go meet customers or pick up stuff for the actual well drilling business. I spend most of my time first thing in the morning doing all the creative part of it. … We have three kids. So this summer, basically my role is answering emails, sending quotes, meeting customers, picking up permits, going to take a look at a jobsite … basically paperwork and bookwork.
Q. What does it take to succeed in what you do?
A. I think there are four things: patience, diligence, positivity and having some grit. If you don't have those four things, you can't keep moving forward. You always have to believe in yourself so that you can move forward.
Q. What do you wish you knew when you started?
A. I needed an art degree and a bigger studio. (laughs) This has really been a learning curve for me because I've worked in retail before and I've worked with the public and I've worked with our customers in the well drilling business, but I've never been responsible for the concept design, production, shipping and final product destination like this business. There's a lot more to it than just sending in a design, getting it printed and shipping it out. So there are little things I wish I'd known.
Q. What tool can you not imagine working without?
A. I would have to say my computer and the Adobe program. I couldn't do what I do if I didn't have that.
Q. What's the best piece of advice you've been given?
A. To not give up. I know that sounds cliché, but when I first sent off for my trademarking, it was denied and I was like, well, I guess that's the end of that. My husband was like, "Don't give up on it yet. Maybe it'll still happen." So he's the one who said to keep going and it came to fruition.
Q. How would you describe the present state of the industry?
A. The last couple years, I think the industry has picked up. Where we live and where we work, we've seen an exponential increase in how many people are calling and needing wells or needing repairs or wanting a well drilled. I think we're moving into a great place right now. When you've got more people that need your services, people talk about you more, people are more aware of the business. That creates more excitement, especially within our industry. If you get drillers excited about their job, they are more likely to want to show that excitement in a way that they might buy a T-shirt. With that part, I think it kind of goes hand in hand. When the economy's bad, drillers don't spend any money because they're waiting for the possibility of a breakdown, or they need tires or they need a new hammer. But if things are good, at least with my husband, he's a lot more laid back.

The Vision of DCA.is to realize that DotAfrica (.africa) domain name will be useful for branding of products and services to the enormous benefit of organizations and individuals that have an enduring stake in Africa thereby providing a very unique African on-line identity.
DCA also seeks to assist in the strategic coordination of government internet policies, establish policy priorities, offer new policy choices, and ensure that the implications of internet policy options are fully considered. DCA encourages all stakeholders to participate in this dialogue, in particular the African Diaspora.
As an independent non-profit, DCA Trust intends to utilize surplus proceeds from the registry operation accruing to the Trust Fund for charitable projects. Funds will be regularly allocated to different corporate social responsibility programmes. Specific projects will be identified, and supported. As the first gTLD for Africa, it will aim at bridging the digital divide that exists between other regions of the Internet community and Africa by promoting the use of ICT for development. Therefore, DCA intends to focus on development projects that will aid the increased use and penetration of the Internet in Africa, including provision of low-cost⁄affordable computers, Internet bandwidth, and user training for disadvantaged groups, target local communities and focus groups in Africa.
DCA is to establish a full-service Internet registry which will be operated by DCA Registry Services Ltd. in accordance with the technical and operational criteria and other specifications stipulated by ICANN in the new gTLD Applicants' Guidebook. The objective of setting up DCA Registry Services Limited is to run a viable business as a registry operator, providing approved and additional registry services with guaranteed business and registry continuity for its valued customers.
The surpluses from the registry operation will accrue to the DCA Trust Fund and used to finance and support various charitable projects for the benefit of different stakeholders. DCA main charitable objects are: (a) for the advancement of education in information technology to the African society; and (b) in connection with (a) to provide the African society with a continental Internet domain name to have access to Internet services for the people of Africa as a purpose beneficial to the public in general.
Charity:
DCA Trust was established in 2009 and some of the initiative DCA has already taken successfully include the "Miss.africa" and"generations.africa" programs.

What do we need to integrate mental health into mainstream healthcare?
Dr Morseda Chowdhury
homepage, mental health, Mental Health Strategy, psychosocial counselling, psychosocial support
by Dr Morseda Chowdhury
Bangladesh has recently passed the National Mental Healthcare Act 2018, and is about to finalise the breakthrough National Mental Health Strategy. However, resources and investment remain low, with 0.49 mental health caregivers per 100,000 population. In this backdrop, how can mental health be destigmatised and be brought to the doorsteps of everyone?
Physical and mental health are both crucial to live a full life and contribute to the world around us. The definition of health, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is 'a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing', and not merely as the absence of disease. The definition of mental health takes the definition of health to the next level: mental health is 'a state of wellbeing in which the individual realises his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community'.
What makes us mentally unhealthy? We can divide the factors into two broad groups – environmental factors and physical factors – both of which can affect our mental health at any stage of life. Research shows that situations such as early childhood abuse, trauma or unhealthy or toxic parenting can culminate into fragile mental health of a child, which can worsen in adolescence or adulthood.
Social disadvantages like poverty, unemployment, social isolation, discrimination, natural calamities and man-made disasters, stigma, domestic violence, bullying or any significant trauma and chronic diseases, as well as neurological conditions are associated with mental disorders of anxiety, depression, substance abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychotic disorders and suicidal tendency.
© BRAC/M N I Chowdhury, 2018
Disease burden is the impact of a health problem as measured by financial cost, mortality, morbidity, or other indicators. Depression and anxiety disorders ranked among the top 25 leading causes of burden worldwide, according to the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study in 2019.
A door-to-door survey by the National Institute of Mental Health with technical support from the World Health Organization found that of a representative sample of Bangladesh citizens, nearly 19% of adults and 13% of children experience some sort of mental disorder. The report estimated a 92% 'treatment gap'- meaning most people with mental disorders do not seek any professional help.
The extent of the problem does not match with the measures to address it; level of awareness, availability and accessibility of services, and investment into mental healthcare remain low. With 0.49 mental health caregivers per 100,000 population, Bangladesh faces a severe shortage of human resources to provide psychosocial or psychiatric support. Expenditure on mental health is only 0.44% of the total health expenditure.
Considering the shortage of skilled human resources, BRAC developed a group of para-counsellors. who work under close supervision of psychologists. Their task is to talk to people, understand their problems, provide mental health first-aid and basic counselling sessions
To overcome the discrepancy between the problem and investment in terms of resources and policy level attention, some actions which are underway in Bangladesh, need a quantum leap. It is, no doubt, a difficult task to get done, but two things should happen in parallel.
One, advocacy needs to happen for more investment in mental healthcare. Two, a clear roadmap is needed to address the existing issues starting from human resource development, addressing social stigma and lack of awareness, integration of mental health in the mainstream healthcare system and other relevant sectors.
Bangladesh has recently passed the National Mental Healthcare Act 2018, revoking the century-old Lunacy Act, and is on the verge of finalising the National Mental Health Strategy. This strategy is surely a breakthrough and contains some clear guidelines for achieving some of the global mental health targets set by the WHO.
However, as there is no simple solution for such a complex issue, we should focus on working with different models to find solutions effective for our contexts, under the leadership of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and involving relevant stakeholders.
Child-friendly space for children who survived violence and trauma. © Kamrul Hasan, 2018.
BRAC has successfully implemented several models of mental healthcare for specific target groups, such as migrant workers, violence survivors, mothers and children from the Rohingya community who experienced trauma after fleeing persecution in their home country, Myanmar. Considering the shortage of skilled human resources, BRAC developed a group of para-counsellors who work under close supervision of psychologists. Their task is to talk to people, understand their problems, provide mental health first-aid and basic counselling sessions, and if necessary, connect them with psychologists for higher level care.
We have found that the majority of mental health issues can be overcome with assistance from the para-counsellors, while a small percentage need referral to psychologists. This model may act as an interim solution to the human resource shortage until adequate psychologists are available.
Guided by the Directorate General of Health Services, BRAC is also going to test a model of integrating mental health in primary healthcare with assistance from the para-counsellors and community health workers to destigmatise the issue and bring mental healthcare to the doorsteps of families. This is for the long haul.
To make it a reality, all the four sides of mental healthcare, ie, prevention, promotion, care and awareness must have adequate focus. An upgraded healthcare system equipped with the adequate measures in capacity development, supportive supervision and referral support will be able to deliver what is needed. Finally, a strong stewardship from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is imperative to develop a sustainable, well-supervised and monitored system which involves all the relevant stakeholders.
BRAC is integrating mental health in its primary healthcare services, to provide people with community-based, culturally-relevant and ethical mental health support, using the experience of providing psychosocial support through para counsellors. 444 trained para counsellors from BRAC are currently working in the community to address mental health challenges in Bangladesh.

Denmark is competing in ice hockey for the first time ever at the 2022 Winter Olympics, and Monday morning the Danish women earned their first-ever victory in Olympic competition.
Led by captain Josefine Jakobsen, the Danish squad fell into an early hole when Czech defender Aneta Tejralova buried a wrister from the high slot 5:48 into the opening period. Not long after, it was Jakobsen herself who tied the game with breakaway goal.
The Danes and Czechs traded goals once again in the middle stanza, but in the third period it was Silke Glud who scored the game-winning goal just 49 seconds into the frame. Naturally, it was Jakobsen who picked up the primary assist on Glud's tally. Denmark managed to hold off the Czechs' late push and win the tilt by a score of 3-2.
This is an historic Olympics not just for Denmark's women, but also for its men's hockey team. The Danish men are making their Olympic debut at these Games, too, and their first contest is set for 8:00 a.m. ET on Feb. 9 against, coincidentally, the Czech Republic.
The Czech team is making its Olympic debut in women's hockey at these Games as well. Prior to their loss to Denmark, they had won both of their first two games of the Olympic tournament.
You can watch a full replay of the Danes' first-ever Olympic ice hockey victory here.

Lemon Chiffon Eyes Graded-Stakes Glory in Cardinal ... Get Stormy Gets The Distance ... Cindy Jones Gets Training Win
LEMON CHIFFON EYES GRADED GLORY AT CHURCHILL DOWNS – Trainer Sean McCarthy had a choice to make with Lemon Chiffon: Stay at home in California and run in the Grade I Matriarch on Nov. 28 at Hollywood Park, or ship east to Churchill Downs for Saturday's Grade III Cardinal Handicap over the Matt Winn Turf Course.
"I'd like to get her a graded stakes win and in the Matriarch she would have to face the Grade I and Grade II horses she has been fighting all summer and fall," McCarthy said. "Not that this is going to be that much easier, because any time you put a grade in front of a race, you know it is going to be tough."
For Lemon Chiffon, who arrived here Tuesday night, it will be her second start of 2009 at Churchill Downs.
"She ran well here in the spring," McCarthy said of a third-place finish in the Distaff Turf Mile (GII). "Plus the distance (1 1/8 miles in the Cardinal) is good for her."
Owned by Ron Beegle, Lemon Chiffon is a lightly raced 6-year-old daughter of Lemon Drop Kid who did not make her racing debut until she was 4.
"I got her when she was 2 and we were getting ready to run her at the end of the year and she had a hairline fracture of her tibia," McCarthy said. "She won the first time she ran and then the same thing happened to her other tibia after her first race."
The second injury kept Lemon Chiffon away from the races for 15 months. Since returning in April 2008, Lemon Chiffon has compiled a record of 3-1-2 in 13 races and since running third in last fall's Las Palmas Handicap (GII) has not been beaten by more than 2 ½ lengths in mainly graded-stakes company.
"She's pretty honest and she's just had some bad luck running with some good horses," said McCarthy, who has 10 horses in his barn on the Southern California circuit.
Jon Court, who rode Lemon Chiffon in her debut win at Santa Anita in 2007, has the riding assignment on Saturday.
McCarthy also nominated Lemon Chiffon to the Falls City Handicap (GII) at 1 1/8 miles on the main track.
"She won on the dirt on the bullring at Fairplex," McCarthy said. "I train her on the main track at home and I nominated her to both races in case it rains and the Cardinal comes off the grass. I would not be afraid to race on the dirt."
GET STORMY PROVES HE CAN GO THE DISTANCE – Trainer Tom Bush was confident that Get Stormy could win going 1 1/16 miles. Turns out he was right … by a nose.
That's the margin Get Stormy hung on by to win Sunday's Commonwealth Turf (Grade III).
"I don't know what it is, but he loses focus a little bit in the stretch," Bush said. "But when that horse (Street Move) came at him, he saw him and dug in again and fought back and he galloped out strong, which leads me to believe there is more there."
Sunday's race was the final one for the year for Get Stormy, who left Churchill Downs to return to New York on Tuesday.
"He has been going all year," said Bush, who keeps his stable in New York during the winter. "We haven't firmed up plans yet whether to send him to Florida and give him a couple of months at the farm or to Camden (S.C.). But that was definitely it for the year. He won't run in January or February."
Sunday's payday of $66,027 gave Get Stormy a two-race haul of $141,027 for his forays to Kentucky. Last month, he earned $75,000 for winning the Bryan Station (GIII) at Keeneland.
Bush is planning to come back to Churchill Downs in search of another big check.
"I'm sending Banrock down for the River City Handicap (GIII)," Bush said of the 6-year-old New York bred who is a four-time stakes winner in 2009. "He'll get there Monday."
Runner-up Street Move headed back to Florida on Monday along with stablemates Florentino (Jpn) who finished eighth and Bluegrass Princess, who had finished fifth on Saturday in the Mrs. Revere (GII).
"We got him earlier this year and Kiaran noticed he didn't move as well on dirt," said Neal McLaughlin, brother of and assistant to trainer Kiaran McLaughlin. "He was a little better on the turf and in his grass races he has really come along.
"But we've got to try the Poly with him. He never has been on Polytrack and he has that great closing kick that suits Polytrack. Plus, he's a half-brother to Furthest Land who won the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (GI), so we are looking forward to bringing him to Keeneland next spring."
CINDY JONES GETS FIRST TRAINING WIN AT CHURCHILL DOWNS – No Such Word gave Cindy Jones her first training victory at Churchill Downs in the Friday nightcap. However, for the wife of recently retired trainer Larry Jones, it was not her first victory.
"The first year we were at Ellis Park in 1988, Larry did not get enough stalls and he put some horses in my name," Cindy said. "My first winner was a little horse named Prizado. He was only 15 hands and he won his first race by eight lengths and then the 2-year-old stake there by 5 ½."
No Such Word is a 2-year-old daughter of Canadian Frontier and owned by her breeder, former Kentucky Gov. Brereton Jones.
"Brereton called right after the race and he was so excited," Cindy said of No Such Word, who was the last horse Larry galloped on final day as a trainer on Nov. 7.
Larry Jones continues to gallop horses for the barn with No Such Word as one of his morning regulars.
BARN TALK – Distinctive Dixie, one of two winners on the Sunday card for trainer Wally Dollase, is headed for a Dec. 19 stakes race at the Fair Grounds according to Aimee Dollase, assistant to her father. Owned by the Robert and Beverly Lewis Trust, Distinctive Dixie was coming off a five-month layoff into her victory over seven furlongs. …
With 10 racing days remaining in the Fall Meet, several Churchill Downs milestones are within reach for jockeys and trainers. Robby Albarado, who is tied for third in the rider standings with nine victories, has 848 wins all time beneath the Twin Spires. Julien Leparoux, second in the standings with 11 wins, needs 10 victories to become the 15th jockey with 400 Churchill Downs triumphs. Trainers Rusty Arnold (248) and Ken McPeek (247) are closing in on the 250-win plateau.
WORK TAB – Acoma, one of the likely favorites for Saturday's Cardinal Handicap (GIII), worked a half-mile on Monday in :48.80 over a fast track for trainer David Carroll. Also working a half-mile for Carroll was Denis of Cork (:50.40), his second work since returning to the barn from injury. … On Tuesday, over a track labeled as "wet-fast" Iroquois (GIII) winner Thiskyhasnolimit worked six furlongs in 1:12.60 for trainer Steve Asmussen in preparation for the closing-day Kentucky Jockey Club (GII). Also working for the Kentucky Jockey Club was Gleam of Hope who covered five furlongs in 1:01.40 (wet-fast) for trainer Tony Reinstedler. Prepping for a possible start in the Thanksgiving Day Falls City Handicap (GII), Whirlie Bertie worked a bullet five-eighths in 1:00 (wet-fast) for trainer Steve Margolis. ... Decelerator, winner of the Debutante (GIII) here this summer and second in the Pocahontas (GIII) on Nov. 1, worked a half-mile in :53.60 over a "muddy" track Wednesday morning ahead of an expected start in the Grade II Golden Rod on Nov. 28.

Spring definitely sprung on us this weekend, casting lots of sweet rays of sunshine. I drove up to Sheffield's Bradfield Farmers' Market up at Bradfield Farm yesterday, With the aim to grab some groceries for my big Easter meal. The farm is only about 20 minutes from the city centre and if you know me well enough by now, you'll know, where Sheffield Food goes, Missie C will try to make an effort to support and find her local Sheffield buddies. How can I resist when food's involved? I can't! Fork please!
If you asked me last year to attend a Farmers' market, I'd probably laugh or ask what these were. Like I said to many of the food producers I said hello to (it was really lovely to meet you and to put a face to those foody tweets), I've always been a very 'City Girl' so to go out to the countryside this was very new to me.
I'm beginning to love the Farmer's Market! As I got there, the room was very full with very hungry members of the public who all shared a passion for FOOD! If you ever get to come to these Markets make sure you try the FREE tasters (this isn't to say that all the food is overpriced because they're not, plus whatever I bought here I knew I was getting good products as well as supporting independent producers).
Finally, with so many fruits and veggies as well as great baked goods, meats, and the BEST preserves in the world! Unfortunately I walked out without any chocolate easter eggs, but I've stocked up on a lot of other great stuff! (my purple larder is currently smiling now – Mission completed). Sheffield has a fantastic bunch of artisan producers with strong enthusiasm to promote themselves as Sheffield Food. Its true when they say "Good Food tastes better when it's served at home".
Happy Easter everyone! Have a superb day and remember to eat something special.
