TXT is a DNS record, which contains information in human-readable form for external sources to obtain info about a specific domain or subdomain. In the most common case, this sort of record is employed to prove that you own a domain in case you're trying to add it to an Internet search engine or to some traffic analytics platform. Due to the fact that only the Internet domain owner/administrator can add custom DNS records, the TXT record functions as a verification of ownership for the business supplying the service. Another popular use for this kind of records is the email SPF (Sender Policy Framework) protection, which helps to ensure that an email address will not be spoofed and that individuals will not get junk e-mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record contains details about the mail server where your digital messages originate from and serves as validation that it is a reliable one. Because there are no rules regarding the content of this type of a record, you can include any other info also.
Our in-house built Hepsia CP will permit you to control the DNS records of every Internet domain or subdomain accommodated within a web hosting account with ease, so if you want to create a new TXT record for any of them, it won't take you more than a few seconds to do it. Through a really user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll only have to select one of your domain names or subdomains from a drop-down options menu, select TXT for the type through a second menu, and then input the actual content inside a box. This is done within the DNS Records section of Hepsia and shortly after you are all set, the new record is going to be active. If you would like to confirm your web site with Google, for instance, you'll just have to log in to your account with them several minutes later and ask them to check your domain name or subdomain. It does not take longer for a TXT record to go live if you need it for any other reason.
A new TXT record can be set up effortlessly if you use a semi-dedicated server package from our company since the Hepsia Control Panel, included with all the accounts, is extremely user-friendly and it will enable you to create any record with simply a few clicks. All domain names and subdomains which you have inside the account will be listed in a drop-down menu, so you will simply have to choose the one that you need, pick the record type, that will be TXT in this case, and enter or copy/paste the needed text. It will not take more than one hour for your new record to be completely functioning and to propagate world-wide. Even if you're not tech-savvy, you won't encounter complications to do this, but to be on the safe side, we have a detailed guide in which you can find all the steps. Our tech support department will also be able to aid you 24/7 with any questions you may have concerning the DNS records of your domains.

Whenever I see "hate crime" and "campus" in a headline nowadays, I just assume it's a hoax until proven true.
In your discussion of the Humanities, you cited the circumstance at Stanford where 45% of the faculty teach undergraduate courses, and attract only 15% of the students. This curious situation could be explained by a requirement, common in my educational experience whereby Business Majors had to graduate with 50% of their hours in the Liberal Arts, and at least two courses had to be in the Humanities. Similar requirements were imposed on Music School students. Therefore, a large number of faculty would be engaged in leading undergraduate studies. Majors in the Humanities would be much smaller.


Lake House with great views of the lake and nice wooded lot.
Farm has pasture land and nice wooded area surrounding the farmhouse.
If the wooded lot you're selling has a Magnolia Tree on it, that ups the value of the property immensely. We Southern ladies don't talk about it much – but there are women who fiercely protect their Magnolia Trees. The pitiful women who don't have Magnolia Trees have been known to beg, borrow or steal Magnolia Leaves especially during the holidays or for special occasions– a wedding, funeral or open house. The lucky women who own Magnolia Trees have been known to get put out and even stingy with their Magnolia leaves!
I guess you could say- we're tree proud. I made a list recently of the different types of Southern Trees we have in our yard. Dogwoods, Redbuds, Glory Bower, Red Oak, White Oak, Pin Oak, Water Oak,Hackberry, Sweetgum, Poplar, Elm and Black Walnut- Southern Yellow Pines and the darkly mysterious common Cedar Tree. My grandmother always said to get rid of Cedar Trees because 'When a cedar tree gets tall enough to shade your grave, you'll die'…How she knew this I'll never know- but I believed her. My husband thinks that's an old wives tale but he did remove a Cedar Tree because it was getting in the way of a Dogwood I wanted him to save. Bless his heart.
South Alabama has the big bearded beauties, Live Oaks- Southerners have been known to experience deep grief, especially when a Live Oak is damaged or dies. Live Oaks are the stuff movies are made of- the story has been told that a famous actress came south to do a movie and the setting was laced with Live Oaks- it was rumored the actress thought we did that just for her! We have renowned hospitality, but humans didn't do that for her- the South is just blessed with Live Oaks dripping with Spanish Moss.
What we don't tell folks who aren't from around here- If you want to collect Spanish moss as a souvenir- before you get home you'll have chigger bites all over! Henry Ford once had the bright idea to stuff his car cushions with the abundance of Spanish Moss found in Alabama- only to discover those pesky chiggers were a big problem. For Southern folks who are still looking up North for their valuables…they think chigger bites are a fitting punishment for thieves who try to confiscate our Spanish Moss!
Southern women are more apt to forgive our Trees of their shortcomings than we are of other infractions that come our way. We never forgive Hurricanes- male or female- for taking down our Southern Trees. Frederick, Rita, Ivan, and that hateful girl Katrina, we will never forgive you.
Redbuds circle up- conspiring to bloom where they are planted. Stubborn enough to bloom for just a brief few weeks in the Spring.
We love our trees. Southern trees bloom, Shade us from the hot summer sunshine, Spread their branches to cradle nests while the squirrels are acting like nuts. Hickory trees give their lives so we can have that pit barbeque we so love. Trees let us hang a swing or spread out quilts for a snooze, a picnic or a family photograph. We're as tree proud as any folks I know. Our roots spread out and run deep. We like it that way, nuts, squirrels, skeeters, chiggers and all.
Thanks to Jeremy Miniard for the photographs of beautiful homeplaces in Alabama. Thanks to Denis for her photographs of the hauntingly beautiful Live Oaks.
I laughed reading this post as I'm a displaced southerner, living on the sparse plains of Oklahoma. I miss trees! Even though I live in the city, and there are carefully landscaped areas where I can find tree refuge, the trees here do not compare to the lush, dense trees of my home state of Arkansas. We recently bought a new home and one of my requirements was that it have an abundance of trees. My husband, an Oklahoma native, does not get my obsession with trees but has thankfully agreed to my terms. We now have a home with mature landscaping and trees.
A kindred soul…I'm so glad you laughed and also that you have found your own 'wooded lot' … bless your sweet husband's heart!


In 1994, one thousand former FTAB Members attended the Centennial Reunion of the FTAB. Plans for the 125th FTAB Celebration and Reunion are in the works for the weekend gathering!
You won't want to miss the FTAB being honored for its 125 year history of service and excellence!
The purpose of this account is to celebrate the growth of the band and our upcoming 125th year in 2019. This fundraising effort will support the new Music Activity Center (MAC) with emphasis on the Aggie Band and Scholarships for the Aggie Band Cadets as well as future needs of the Director of Bands and MAC at Texas A&M University.
PLEASE NOTE: Donors ONLY need to fill out a donor card (form) OR complete the online giving, but not both. Donations of the funds to the account will accrue and cannot be further designated for specific projects or endowments.
Our minimum goal is to raise $1.25 million by 2019 and then continuing forward to ensure the Aggie Band is supported! Thank you for your help in reaching our goal!


For 80 years, BNY Mellon's Pershing has been recognized as a Wall Street innovator. From our early days on the floor of the NYSE to the award-winning technology we provide today, we have earned a reputation for thinking ahead—and staying ahead of the marketplace.
The firm was founded on January 1, 1939 as Pershing & Company and boasted $200,000 in capital. The firm's original senior partners were Van Burger, Sr., Lou Froehlich, Dave Foster and Warren "Jack" Pershing, the only son of celebrated WWI General of the Armies, John J. Pershing.
Initially, Pershing's vision centered on providing trade execution and clearance services to financial services firms located outside of the New York metropolitan area. Another early decision that set the firm apart was to establish a presence in strategic zones on the floor of the NYSE, a move designed to ensure that the firm provided clients with fast, efficient trade execution.
During Pershing & Company's early years, three of the firm's senior partners were called to serve in World War II. Following the war's end, Pershing continued to build a reputation for providing regional financial services firms with unparalleled access to the NYSE and the AMEX, the world's leading exchanges.
Since our beginnings in 1939 as an execution provider for regional financial organizations, Pershing has grown to become a global financial business solutions provider with offices around the world. We are a company built by our clients—we respond to your needs and evolve to help you succeed.
In 2003, Pershing was acquired by The Bank of New York, the longest-lasting financial institution in the United States. Alexander Hamilton had founded the bank in 1784, had written its constitution and guided the organization through its early stages. The bank opened for business at the Walton House in Lower Manhattan on June 9, 1784, only a few months after the departure of British troops from American soil.
In 2007, the merger of The Bank of New York and Mellon Financial Corporation formed BNY Mellon. Today, BNY Mellon is the Investments Company for the World, providing Pershing and all its clients the backing and resources of a global leader.

Posted on December 18, 2014 December 18, 2014 Authoradmin

Following two furiously sold-out nights at renowned Brooklyn rock bar, Saint Vitus, as well as their mammothly efficacious European trek before that, Portland's most prized doom craftsman, YOB, will return to the stage this Spring for a North American run supporting progressive black metal technicians, Enslaved. Slated to commence on March 5th in San Diego, the sixteen-date excursion will make its way across the country, coming to a close on March 24th in Boston. Additional support will be provided by Ecstatic Vision.

YOB will be touring in support of their critically-adored Clearing The Path To Ascend full-length, released early this Fall via Neurot Recordings. Recorded at Gung Ho Studio in Eugene alongside longtime YOB comrade/iconic sound wizard, Billy Barnett and mastered by Brad Boatright (Sleep, Beastmilk, Nails) at Audiosiege, Clearing The Path To Ascend has won the praise of major media outlets globally, including Rolling Stone who placed the record at the coveted #1 spot on their 20 Best Metal Albums Of 2014 noting, "The seventh album from Oregon doom metal sky-gazers, YOB, … makes perfect bedfellows of volume and beauty, pain and transcendence." The esteemed publication further commends the record noting, "Opener 'In Our Blood' extends a simple riff into complex arches, tracing [vocalist Mike] Scheidt's voice as it moves from an exquisite falsetto to a death-metal bellow in the course of sixteen-minutes. And during the colossal closer 'Marrow' — possibly the best metal song of the year, one that uses low notes to play uplifting melodies — Scheidt sings 'Time will fall inside the dream.' His voice suddenly reaches out like a clarion's call, clear and telling and beautiful. It's a pronouncement from the living, a semaphore pointing into the future." Elsewhere the record placed at #7 on Decibel's Top 40 Albums Of 2014, #9 on Wondering Sound's 25 Best Metal Albums Of 2014, #1 on About.com's 2014 Best Heavy Metal Albums List, #11 on Stereogum's Top 50 Albums Of 2014, #9 on Spin's 20 Best Metal Album's Of 2014, #9 on Metal Assault's Best Albums Of 2014, and #1 on Free Williamsburg's 10 Best Metal Albums Of 2014 among so many other lists both published and in the works.
YOB's Clearing The Path To Ascend is available now via Neurot Recordings HERE.
"Mike Scheidt's songwriting has never been stronger or more dynamic… a masterful return to form by an American doom powerhouse." – Decibel
"An absolute monument of musicianship, songcraft, and raw emotion, this hour-plus slab of gut-wrenching, god-toppling doom, crafted by frontman Mike Scheidt in the wake of divorce and the decision to stop taking anti-depressants, operates on a grander scale, both sonically and philosophically, than any other album this year." – Free Williamsburg
"For all its heaviness, the album is disarmingly meditative, relying less on forcing the mood for the listener and entrusting that the human commonalities of love, loss, fear, and hope threaded throughout the music will render an altogether familiar place of comfort and strength within the listener." – Steel For Brains
"The sound on Clearing The Path To Ascend is tactile: You can practically feel vocalist/guitarist Mike Scheidt's callused hands sliding up and down the guitar neck…This isn't a case of fixing what was broken; it's about becoming greater than they already were." – Wondering Sound
"The closing, sprawling eighteen-minute plus 'Marrow' takes every previously visited songwriting element on Clearing The Path To Ascend and brings it all together into beautifully melancholic combination of heaviness and melody, a fitting capstone to a gem of an album." – About.com
"Clearing The Path To Ascend is YOB at their most frenzied ('Nothing To Win') as well as their gentlest ('Marrow'), but taken as whole, its four songs feel like the seasons or the elements: powerful, eternal, wondrous, and bigger than all of us." – Stereogum
"…Mike Scheidt continues to drive his band YOB to new heights of epic, darkly spiritual doom without consideration for trends, self-consciousness or the whims of fickle consumers. At sixty-two minutes yet only four songs, Clearing The Path To Ascend rewards the patient while almost deliberately snubbing the ADD set… Scheidt uses art as catharsis, and that means you as listener as well if you want to take that journey with him." – Metal Injection

On Wings of Hope: Leading Lily Home
by Cynthia Lynch Bischoff PhDCynthia Lynch Bischoff PhD
iUniverse, Incorporated
Cynthia Lynch Bischoff, PhD, is an inspirational speaker, life coach, and energy practitioner. She is also the founder of Heartliving, a coaching and seminar business through which she has delivered holistic coaching and energy-healing sessions, seminars, and products to thousands in the United States, Europe, and Japan. She currently lives in Norfolk, Virginia. Visit her online at www.heartliving.com.
A spiritual teacher helps a dying student navigate a battle with cancer in this debut memoir.
Bischoff had her first spiritual vision when she was only 5 years old, she says, when she was "awakened in the middle of the night by a brilliant white light." She was alarmed yet strangely reassured at the same time, and she shared the experience with only one other person: her grandmother, who said that she'd also had mystical visitations. Because of this warm and loving relationship, Bischoff writes, she was able to come to terms with her own unsettling gift, responding to calls for help that she saw in the auras of people around her by transmitting love and empathy. Years later, after she launched a successful career as a self-described "life coach and energy-healing practitioner," the author met Lily,a 33-year-old woman in remission after a second diagnosis of breast cancer. (Bischoff notes that the names of some people in her book have been changed.) Lily joined the author's "Leading From the Heart Group" to try to find a spiritual path through her illness, and she gave and received support from like-minded seekers. Lily's bond with the group gave her strength, Bischoff says, when, nine years later, her cancer returned. Once again, she turned to the author, her teacher and friend, to help her with her final journey. Bischoff's layered memoir alternates her own story with Lily's ongoing struggles, including biographical facts interspersed with spiritual ideas culled from Eastern religions and New Age traditions. The transitions, which include a description of one of the author's teaching trips to Japan in the days before Lily's decline, add vitality and interest to more expository text about Bischoff's belief system. Lily's story is compelling as she finds her way through fear and illness toward acceptance, and she sometimes offers powerful personal insights: "The cancer, Cynthia, has been a terrible bully." The descriptions of the author's spiritual philosophy can be wearing at times, but overall, the book provides readers with a moving depiction of the end of life.
An often touching story that occasionally gets bogged down in philosophical precepts.

Interior Experts
J & J Interiors have shown what can be achieved with their recent projects
Showcase Their Skills
J&J Interiors were highly successful entrants at this year's ACT Master Builders and Boral Excellence in Building Awards. The awards were presented at the National Convention Centre on 29 June. J&J Interiors' impressive contribution to the Australian National University Colleges of Science – Bioscience Building resulted in the business taking home the three awards for:
Commercial Interior Finish for ANU Colleges of Science - Biosciences Building
Commercial Best use of Material for ANU Colleges of Science - Biosciences Building;
Subcontractor of the Year for their unwavering dedication to achieving the highest quality outcomes
J&J Interiors is a family business which has been operating in the Canberra market for 21 years.
It has an employee base of about 50 staff, but numbers have fluctuated to around 100 depending on project demands. It has a strong team focus, combined with a dedication to delivering high quality projects. Its impressive portfolio includes the provision of finishes to the Royal Australian Mint, the John Curtin School of Medicine and Chemistry building at the Australian National University and The ApARTments at NewActon.
The company has recently commenced work on the Manhattan Apartments in the city, one of Canberra's most exciting residential developments.
Adding to a highly successful night for J&J Interiors at the 2012 Master Builders & Boral Excellence in Building Awards, its sibling company, McGilvray Projects, was the recipient of the award for the Commercial and Retail Fit out, Refurbishment or Alteration Less than $500,000. The winning project, 1/92 Sawmill Circuit in Hume, was built as a showpiece for McGilvray Projects and J&J Interiors and showcased the skills of the companies' workforce.
McGilvray Projects was established in 2009 by J&J directors John, David and Jacqui McGilvray, to branch out from contract work into building and development work. The new venture took the experience gained during many years of running the highly successful J&J Interiors to produce developments built to exceptional standards.
After three years of operation, McGilvray Projects has cemented itself as a strong and vibrant development and construction business, which "Designs and builds for today with a vision of tomorrow". Like J&J Interiors, McGilvray Projects has an impressive portfolio of projects including, 92 Sawmill Circuit Hume, That Bagel Place in Hume and 79 Sturt Avenue Narrabundah. The Lloyd Warramanga, a boutique development of 17 townhouses, is under construction at the present time.
J & J Interiors work on the ANU's Biosciences Building receievd three awards at the Excellence in Building Awards this year.
Both J&J Interiors and McGilvray Projects boast hard working and skilful teams, a dedication to high quality service and a wealth of experience within the construction industry. They focus on giving their clients high quality service to ensure their projects run on time and budget. The two businesses are well positioned to continue to provide the local market with an impeccable standard of service and workmanship.
Recently J&J Interiors have opened a detailed joinery shop in order to expand their portfolio of services.
Having accepted the contract at The Bioscience Building ANU to provide dry walls, ceilings, glazing, carpentry, doors, frames and hardware, J&J Interiors' commitment to excellence provided an outstanding finish for the project
The Building took just over two years to fit out and was constructed from a range of materials, some of which are standard in the construction industry such as concrete and steel, but also included manufactured double glazed plastic cellular sheeting used as both a dividing wall and as an aesthetic feature wall.
Although primarily a research facility, the use of materials, the design and colour scheme provide a warm and inviting environment to work in.
The fit-out is far from standard: Hoop pine plywood finished in a natural stain bringing out its fine features rakes up and down walls and stairs. The three-dimensional chevron walls wrap floor to floor on the western end of the building. The only area that the Hoop Pine wasn't incorporated into the fit-out was inside the laboratories themselves.
In naming J&J Interiors as winners of the Commercial Interior Finish category of the Awards, the judges said they "appreciated the complex set out problems associated with the timber wall linings in the main access walkways and staircases, together with the high degree of accuracy required between the metal and timber components to achieve the very fine detail evident from the architectural drawings. The finished result is most impressive."
As Commercial - Best Use of Material winner the judges said, "Whilst the choice of the material in the building rests with the architect
the end result rests on the skill of the contractor in interpreting the architect's desires and achieving the level of quality expected of the architect, the builder and the client combined. The quality of the workmanship using mainly veneered timbers as wall linings is a credit to the set out and skills of J&J Interior's site staff and tradesmen."
J&J's work on the Biology Research Building, which is part of the new ANU Colleges of Sciences, also won Project of the Year for Hindmarsh: J&J Interiors quality workmanship and their awards played a part in Hindmarsh's win in the most prestigious award of the year.
As Subcontractor of the Year the judges said, "It was through their unwavering dedication to achieving the highest quality outcomes for their clients that gave J & J Interiors the edge in this year's Subcontractor of the Year awards"

Emerging Equity Funds Post Most Outflows In 24 Weeks
By Shiyin Chen and Chan Tien Hin | 5 February 2010
[ Normxxx Here: The best buying opportunities for EM Funds are right after a crash. We may be approaching a good buying opportunity shortly. ]
Feb. 5 (Bloomberg)—Emerging market equity funds lost $1.6 billion in weekly withdrawals, the biggest outflows in 24 weeks, as earnings and Greece's debt woes raised concerns that the global recovery may falter, EPFR Global said. Investors removed almost $1 billion from global emerging market stock funds in the week ended Feb. 3, the most in more than a year. They withdrew $516 million from Asian equities outside of Japan, the research company said in a statement.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell 2.6 percent to 902.12 as of 5 p.m. in Hong Kong, the lowest since Oct. 2. The gauge of 22 developing nations, which rallied a record 75 percent in 2009, has slumped 12 percent from this year's peak on Jan. 11. It has apparently corrected on speculation that central banks from China to Brazil will start to raise borrowing costs to curb inflation.
"Recoveries have been reliant on policy measures," said Michael Auyeung, who manages about $500 million as chief investment officer at Pacific Mutual Fund Bhd. outside Kuala Lumpur. "As we move into the transition phase where the burden of growth shifts back towards the private economy on stimulus withdrawal, we will start to get a better idea of how bad the damage has been to the structural integrity of the financial and business architecture. We may not like what we find."
Global stocks are plunging for a second straight day as U.S. initial jobless claims rose unexpectedly last week and companies from MasterCard Inc. to Monster Worldwide Inc. reported earnings that trailed analyst estimates. Shares also retreated on concern that Greece's attempts to cut the European Union's biggest budget deficit may hurt other nations in the region.
'Reasons For Caution'
"Investors had plenty of reasons for caution going into February as corporations continued to paint a gloomy picture for earnings in 2010, Greece's debt story went from bad to worse and policy makers began to flesh out their ideas for closing yawning budget deficits," EPFR wrote. Emerging market currencies also weakened today in Asia amid concern that Europe's fiscal woes have eroded investor appetite for riskier developing-nation assets. South Korea's won dropped the most in two months while India's rupee was headed for its biggest two-day loss since October. Indonesia's rupiah dropped the most in 10 weeks.
The cost of protecting Asian corporate and sovereign bonds from default surged. The Markit iTraxx Asia index of 50 investment-grade borrowers outside Japan rose 11 basis points to 128 basis points, Deutsche Bank AG prices show. That's the biggest increase since Aug. 17 and takes the index to its highest since Sept. 9, CMA prices show.
China Losses
During the week, Latin American funds posted outflows, while those buying emerging Europe, Africa and the Middle East shares reported "modest" net inflows, EPFR said. Within Asia, China equity funds reported net outflows for the fifth time in six weeks while Indian funds lost $180 million, the most in 68 weeks, according to the statement. China's Shanghai Composite Index has dropped 10 percent this year, among the 10 worst performers globally.
In India, the Bombay Stock Exchange's benchmark Sensitive Index has slipped 9.1 percent. A report this week that showed China sustained its manufacturing last month heightened speculation the government will take additional measures to prevent the economy from overheating. India's central bank increased its cash reserve ratio by more than economists had forecast.
Too Early To Buy?
JPMorgan Chase & Co. said last month it was turning "less bullish" on developing-nation equities in the first half of 2010 amid concern central banks will tighten monetary policy to combat accelerating inflation. Nikhil Srinivasan, the chief investment officer for Asia and the Middle East at Allianz Investment Management, also said this week it was too early to buy stocks, including those in China, even as they decline. Still, BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research said this week that China's stocks are "approaching a bottom" as concerns of tightening are overstated, joining CLSA Ltd., Morgan Stanley and Macquarie Group Ltd., in predicting a rebound in the nation's equities.
During the week, developing-nation bond funds attracted $406 million, according to EPFR. Overall, equity funds with $3.1 trillion in assets lost $981 million while bond funds with $1.1 trillion in assets drew $4.6 billion in new inflows, the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based research company said.

Who was Stephen Paddock?
The worst mass shooting in US history, breaking a grisly record set just over a year ago. With depressing regularity some murderous arsehole turns his guns - and it is almost always men - on defenceless people and makes a pathetic name for themselves. Today Stephen Paddock, an otherwise unprepossessing Nevada native from a retirement village outside of Las Vegas has that infamy, though typical of all mass murdering gunmen he took his life before the police reached him.
We don't know a great deal about Paddock or his motivations. We don't know why he chose to kit out a hotel room at the Mandalay Bay with heavy duty weaponry, or the twisted narrative he concocted to justify these murders to himself. Sadly, because these things are far from uncommon, we almost do not have to. There is some suggestion of psychological problems, "weird behaviour" and large gambling transactions, but none of these in themselves are remarkable. Perhaps the gambling got out of control and Paddock snapped, but nothing about the crime suggests anything other than cool-headed premeditation. Assembling an arsenal with the appropriate range and selecting the right room overseeing the concert required methodical planning.
As we have seen in previous shootings of this character, an abiding motif is the gunman imposing themselves on the world. Where a situation has got out of control, a murder spree is the most extreme way of stamping individual authority, of forcing everyone not only to sit up and take notice but respond to a situation of their making. Typically if certain people or groups of people are held responsible for the situation the gunman finds themselves in, they are usually targeted. If it's impersonal forces then the victims are usually people unfortunate enough to find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Yet there is something slightly unusual about Paddock's crime. Typically mass murderers, whether non-political or of the white supremacist/IS kind, are there among their victims, as if the proximity to murder inflames them further and gives them the last minute rush of supremacy before either the police close in or they assert final control by turning the gun on themselves. Paddock, however, kept at a distance, as if his mind could only cope when his victims were reduced to small stick people in the street light. The screams, the terror, the blood, all this was at a remove, almost a concession to recognising the enormity of what he was doing. He wanted to do it but, unlike other mass killers, didn't want to be part of it. Yet this distance enabled him to inflict more suffering and take more lives. As military thinkers know well, separation makes killing easier.
Sad to say, we know this is not going to be the last time. Everyone knows this is going to happen again, that there are many more Stephen Paddocks. Yes, the stupid gun laws leave a lot to be desired and do nothing to stop an inadequate with a grudge from going out in an inglorious blaze of murder should they choose. But there are wider questions here of dog-eat-dog individuality, alienation, toxic masculinity, and a culture that glorifies redemptive violence. This is what Paddock was, a repository and an embodiment of all this shit. And as the roots of American mass killing lie close to inner city gun crime, military worship and the imagined hatreds, it's going to take more then pious sermonising and gun control to prevent similar tragedies from happening again, and again, and again.

His father was a well known life long criminal, but not a murderer.
To the gun control freaks:
What right does any person have enough fire power to nearly kill over half a thousand people in a few minutes?
The political climate these days being what it is, no one has the power to break the stalemate between the 50% of Americans who insist that guns are the problem, and the 50% of Americans who insist that guns are the solution. The thing that occurs to me is that there are plenty of countries in which guns are at least as widely available as they are in the US, Switzerland for example and some — many Latin American countries come to mind here — have, as far as I know, cultures that idealise violence in much the same way that Americans do. As far as I know, they don't have mass murders with guns at anything like the rate that they do in the US. That being the case, I have to wonder if the fixation on guns is helping to distract attention from some deeper problem…
"dog-eat-dog individuality, alienation, toxic masculinity, and a culture that glorifies redemptive violence. This is what Paddock was, a repository and an embodiment of all this shit"
Er, you seem to know a lot about him, perhaps you should be talking to the FBI? Or maybe you're just speculating and pontificating like everybody else?
I presume that almost everyone would agree that Stephen Paddock was a very bad person. But then so are a lot of other people who don't massacre random strangers in large numbers, even though they could easily do so.
Of course I was speculating, But the thing is this is not an isolated incident, they happen with depressing regularity so it is quite possible to draw on what's happened previously to make suggestions about the present. And - what a surprise - we find a man with a grudge against Las Vegas hotels and a history of misogynistic behaviour. This is entirely in line with other mass killers. I hate to say told you so, but ...
I'm surprised no one has pointed out to you that this is NOT 'The worst mass shooting in US history'
Up to 300 Kakota men, women and children were slaughtered by the US 7th cavalry on Dec 29, 1891 at Wounded Knee.
Or on November 29, 1864 when Colonel John Chivington's Colorado volunteers slaughtered 148 Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians.
Then there was 'The Bombing of Black Wall Street' in Tulsa Okla, where white citizens used dynamite and planes to bomb the city, leaving 8000 homeless and 80-300 Black people died after white cops gave out weapons to every able-bodied white person.
There have been several other massacres of Black people, but these are not seen by many as they've been carried out by white people.
And just one thing to end on, on the same day as this massacre, around ninety other people died from guns, two thirds of them self-inflicted.
The politicians over here are just fixated on the gun ownership,what the 2nd amendment meant and so on, and don't want to look at the wider problems we have, like lack of health care, deadly dangerous workplaces and a deadly dangerous racist police force.
While California burns, Huston and Miami drown, Puerto Rico is destitute (even before the hurricane) the clown in the White House is more concerned with football players on their knee and Rex Tillerson's IQ
People in the US need healing, but more of course importantly change, which ain't going to come from the Dems or Repub. There are a lot of people fighting for you, you just don't get to see them very often

Brooklyn is 99 days old today!
While in the NICU and soon after Brooklyn's Trisomy 18 diagnosis, several nurses suggested we watch a video on YouTube made by a family who's son had Trisomy 18. This video (Corrie still hasn't watched it) and the hearts of Matt & Ginny Mooney became the inspiration for how Corrie and I would commit to celebrate each day with Brooklyn. Turns out, Matt & Ginny are friends of friends and I've had the opportunity to talk with Matt over the phone. They are incredible people and have been a huge blessing to our family.
Today, we celebrate Eliot Mooney and his 99 days!
It has been a while since my last post and a lot has happened, but a lot remains the same. We are still living day by day, moment by moment. There really isn't a better way to describe our lives right now. Each day seems to bring a different set of familiar or new challenges and celebrations.
I wrote a long update last week and intended to post it but decided not to. The overall tone was frustration and discontentment, which was definitely how we felt last week. Brooklyn had been struggling with being extremely inconsolable and fussy, she had lost weight for the second week in a row, and her red blood cell count had decreased after two weeks of improvements. All in all we were discouraged.
Fast forward to today and life is much different! Brooklyn gained quite a bit of weight, her red blood cell count is up, and has been completely off of oxygen since 9am today. She is also much happier and really isn't that fussy thanks to some new medications that are taking care of the neurological discomfort that was causing the fussiness. Praise God!
We are extremely thankful and are enjoying our daughter so much. Corrie and I are also sleeping better because Brooklyn is sleeping again.
I really wouldn't have believed someone while we were in the NICU if they said I would write today's post one day. Brooklyn had her 3 month birthday on Valentine's Day and is 97 days old today! Brooklyn is truly a fighter and we are amazed.
After being in this for a while, we are aware that all of the progress Brooklyn has made could change in a blink of an eye. We are monitoring her very closely because she may need a little help from the oxygen or may need to be back on it 24/7. Since being home, she has never needed it to be her only source of oxygen. It has been in place to 'hold her hand' and give her a little help.
We still struggle with being anxious and fearful of the future, but as we have fought to do since the beginning, we try to stay present and thankful for right now. Today has definitely been a fun, joyful, and exciting day for our family and we pray for many more!


During the winter of 1969/70 there had been frequent reports in the Press of old people living alone having been found in severe distress, or even having died. Although these tragic events took place mainly in cities the matter was discussed at the St. Luke's Parochial Church Council meeting in March 1970 and the question was asked, "Could this happen in Sway?" There was a silence!
At the beginning bags of coal were supplied to elderly people living alone and the annual Christmas appeal instigated to raise funds. A meals-on-wheels delivery service began, followed a few years later by the start of the Sway Luncheon Club that still runs today. The annual village boules competition was started in 1975 as a SWAG fund raising event. Pressure to raise funds was eased some time later by the receipt of a legacy from Mr G Kelly following the sale of his house.
The coal of the early days has now been replaced by financial grants and the work of SWAG has greatly expanded to include help for people and families of all ages living in the village and suffering any kind of financial hardship. Nowadays SWAG is a registered charity run by its trustees, who are elected by the village community at an annual general meeting.


My name is Boban Franeta, and I am in love with rottweilers since early nineties . We are located in beautiful West Palm Beach, Florida. All of our dogs are part of our family and we are very dedicated to them. My father used to breed German Shepherds and hunting dogs back home in Serbia, so I grew up with dogs. We used to receive every month a magazine for animal lovers called ZOV, and one day I got from school and I saw on the cover of that magazine photo of a rottweiler called Nando Mali Medvjed, and I have immediately fallen in love with a breed, I couldn't eat or sleep :) until I got my first rottweiler puppy that year and that's how all started. Since than, rottweilers are my biggest passion and hobby.
Our breeding dogs are imported from Europe, dominantly from Germany bloodlines and are hand picked for their exceptional temperaments, beauty, health history and world class pedigree. We raised puppies in home atmosphere with our children, this is very important cause when puppies go to new homes they are socialized and fully confident in any situation.
We train and title our dogs in IPO and conformation shows, on the biggest competitions all over the world. Besides shows and work field, multiple of our dogs are also service and therapy dogs assisting people with different disabilities.
We also bred 2 most televised Rottweilers of all times Reba and Ripple Vom Hause Franeta, stars of National Geographic Show Wicked Tuna, and we are happy that our girls are representing Rottweiler breed on TV as loving, caring and well behaved teddy bears, as most of well bred and well raised Rottweilers truly are.
Is to create a complete Rottweiler. fully confident, clear headed, stable, healthy, sound, friendly, able to complete any task their owners demand, work, show, assisting with disabilities, police work etc.
We always like to test our dogs at the biggest and strongest competitions all over the world. Many winnings and high placements help us determine that we are on the right path with our breeding program!
We are extremely grateful to Timothy J Ott and entire Ott family for properly raising, and National Geographic for featuring two Rottweilers from our breeding on their show Wicked Tuna. Rottweiler gets all the time bad press on TV, and most of the time is portrayed as aggressive and not a friendly dog, which is not true. Rottweilers are big teddy bears if in right hands and in right homes, which Otts certainly are. Thank you for correcting the image of our beloved breed on TV.
Reba is from our A litter, and her full registered name is Angie Vom Hause Franeta. Ripple is from our R litter.
Stars of National Geographic's show Wicked Tuna, TJ, Pinwheel and Reba at our home in Miami .
We love to meet Rottweiler fans, feel free to give us a call for a detailed consultation and to make an appointment to visit during normal business hours.

s part of a bet on undervalued U.S. stocks, according to a letter to investors.
Dell, the third-largest personal-computer maker, has broadened its products beyond computers and is undervalued, the New York-based hedge fund said in the letter. Greenlight bought Dell at an average price of $15.53. Shares of the Round Rock, Texas-based company gained 2 percent to $16.40 at 1:17 p.m. in New York trading.
Einhorn, whose fund can bet on rising and falling prices, is best known for shorting Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. before it collapsed in September 2008. Greenlight gained 2.9 percent last year, according to the letter.
Greenlight also purchased shares of Xerox because the firm remains bullish on the Norwalk, Connecticut-based firm's acquisition of Affiliated Computer Services Inc. in 2010. Einhorn's fund initially bought Xerox after the takeover but sold amid concerns that the provider of printers and business services faced potential losses from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Greenlight originally bought Xerox at around $9.35 and repurchased the stock at $7.61, according to the letter.

The enormous power wielded by what people 강서오피 are accustomed to call "mere police judges" is obvious when we realize that one of them may send a woman to a reformatory for three years, and boys to similar institutions for the same period. Their jurisdiction is, however, strictly confined to certain classes of offences; and if, for example, the crime charged be "larceny" in any form they are compelled to hold the defendant for the action of a higher court even if he admit his guilt. Thus a vagrant who is caught begging can be sent away for six months, but if the same man steal an old rug from a door-step or a gunny-sack from a wagon he must willy nilly be sent to the Tombs to await a trial in Special Sessions. Now, in any case where he is going to plead guilty he would probably vastly prefer to have his case disposed of by the magistrate and have done with it.
There would seem to be good reason for believing that coincident with other reforms in the magistrates' courts their original jurisdiction might well be extended to cases of petit larceny where the defendant admits the commission of the offence. A[Pg 49] deal of time, money, and inconvenience to the prisoner might be saved. The present situation results in a tendency on the part of the judge to construe as many cases as he can of "petit larceny" into "disorderly conduct." Very often a trivial theft is accompanied by acts which make it perfectly proper for the magistrate to overlook the larceny for the disorder. Certainly it is better for the offender, where possible, to be classed as a "disorderly" rather than as a thief. In the latter case he may, with the stigma thus fastened upon him, go forth to a life of crime; in the first he would never be regarded as a criminal. This jurisdiction to punish any act or omission tending to create a breach of the peace offers a boundless opportunity for an arbitrary judge to arrogate to himself powers which an ignorant or helpless offender can hardly be expected successfully to defy. If illegally "committed" his only redress is a writ of habeas corpus, which probably is a phrase entirely unintelligible to him and which will cost more money to procure than he has ever had at any one time in his existence.
The magistrates might also be given jurisdiction to impose punishment in all cases of "simple assault," and in certain cases even of assaults with weapons. There is no particular reason why, if the magistrate can send an old woman away for begging, or for being drunk of a Saturday night, he cannot be trusted to punish her properly for hitting her husband over the head with a hot-water kettle. Moreover, the magistrate before whom the damaged party hales the offender is able to see with his own eyes the actual extent of the injuries which have been inflicted, whereas, by the time the case[Pg 50] is tried before the judge of the Sessions, Dame Nature has usually restored the victim's battered physiognomy to its pristine condition of refined elegance.
No one could fail to profit by a day spent upon the police-court bench watching the judge exercise his many diverse yet not inconsistent duties, which variously include those of magistrate, lawyer, clergyman, almoner, arbitrator of domestic difficulties, and general adviser. He will begin his day's work, which, before it be concluded, will have required him to pass upon anywhere from fifty to eighty cases, by disposing of a long line of drunks and disorderlies of both sexes. Justice is plentifully tempered with mercy, however, and the unpleasant business is soon over. Next comes the disposition of unfinished business, which includes the continuance of trials not concluded on the preceding court day. These, of course, embrace every possible offence known to the law. The extraordinary number of petty burglaries is sure to attract the attention of the spectator.[20] Boy after boy is brought to the bar charged with breaking into a tobacco shop, or a small grocery, or a room used for the storage of merchandise, push-carts or fruit. At the very outside the value of the plunder cannot exceed a few dollars.
One defendant, his head heavily bandaged, is half carried to the bar by a husky officer and charged with attempting to burglarize the shed adjoining Isadore Aselovitch's junk store. He is clearly much the worse for a severe clubbing. "Izzy," the com[Pg 51]plainant, exhibiting an iron bar several feet in length and weighing upwards of twenty pounds, proudly claims to have effected the arrest of the defendant by merely giving him "a little poke mit it." In response to the interrogatories of the magistrate, Izzy explains that he and another kept their junk in a certain rear room and from time to time noticed that various odd pieces of iron seemed to be missing. They thereupon concealed themselves behind a pile of old push-cart wheels and waited for the thief. After several hours of inactivity they finally heard a rattling among the iron and discovered the defendant apparently in the very act of stealing a crowbar. Being upon his hands and knees he was unable to offer any effectual resistance to their combined onslaught and barely succeeded in escaping with his life. His cries had brought an officer who had arrested him, upon Izzy's complaint, for attempted burglary. The defendant in turn had charged the two with felonious assault, alleging that he had a right to be in the store-room, inasmuch as he was accustomed to leave junk there himself. He further tearfully asserts that he is a rival of Izzy's in the push-cart business, which accounts for the extreme animosity of the latter.
"It vas a lie, your honor, chuge," urges Izzy. "Dot man vas a purglar. He ain't got no push-cart. Gif him ten years, chuge!"
The judge, who is wise in his generation, fines "the burglar" three dollars for disorderly conduct, to the intense disgust of Izzy.
"Tree dollars!" he cries with fine scorn. "Tree dollars for a purglar! I vould be a purglar myself for tree dollars!"
Very likely the next case will be that of a small merchant charged 강서오피 with obstructing the sidewalk with his boxes. He is let off with a warning or, if it be a second offence, with a small fine. Then a couple of boys will be brought in charged with "shooting craps," and on their heels a half-drunken driver who is accused by a little girl (having on an S.P.C.A. badge) of driving an overloaded horse. The crap boys are let go, but as the "cop" agrees with the little girl that the driver was abusing his horse the latter is "held" for Special Sessions.
While these matters are being attended to a great uproar is heard and a large crowd forces its way into the court-room. Above the clamor the wails of a young Jewess make themselves distinctly audible. The judge has just ordered the drunken driver locked up and is all ready to take up the new case. The defendant, a slick, pale-faced young Hebrew, loudly proclaims his innocence and demands an immediate hearing. No time is lost, for the parents of the girl have procured a lawyer who at once causes a charge of robbery to be entered. The girl, hysterically weeping, tells her story. Up to a certain point it is lucid enough. She had been walking along the street when a nice-looking young "feller" had accosted her and inquired the way to the nearest pawnbroker's. While they were conversing pleasantly upon this subject a second young gentleman had joined them and asked the first to purchase a pair of beautiful diamond earrings which he exhibited. This the other regretfully had explained he could not do, since he had no money (being even then on the way to the pawnbroker's). The diamonds had glistened and sparkled in the sunlight. The girl had[Pg 53] asked to look at them and while she was doing so the owner had suggested that perhaps she might like to purchase them herself, giving as part of the consideration her own modest little baubles. This tempting offer she says she refused, on the ground that she did not know the young gentleman. She then rapidly states that the two set upon her, struck her, and that she "knew no more," until on recovering her senses she found that her own earrings had disappeared and that those of the stranger were in her ears.
"Hm!" says the magistrate; "and do you say that the defendant struck you?"
"Shure, your honor," replies the young lady.
"And that you fainted?"
"Shure, your honor."
"Did you fall?" inquires the judge sharply.
"N—n—no," admits the complainant.
"Defendant discharged," announces the magistrate.
"Get out of here, all of you," orders the officer at the bridge. "Get along, now!"
The explanation, as the reader already guesses, is simply that by a time-honored trick the girl has been persuaded by an oily-tongued trickster to exchange her own earrings for his worthless ones. This she has done quite voluntarily. She has then hurried home only to find that her newly acquired gems are paste. The family goes into a paroxysm of anger and lamentation. The nearest lawyer is consulted, who, of course, agrees to secure the return of the earrings. They pay him a five-dollar fee, the defendant is sought for and arrested, and in her eagerness to see him punished and to obtain her property[Pg 54] the victim swears away her own case. Probably had she told the truth the defendant could have been "held" for grand larceny by false pretences.
These proceedings may no sooner be concluded than perchance a giant negro is brought in charged with assault. A dozen officers bring him manacled to the bar, while a crowd of reporters follow and gather on each side, notebook in hand. It appears that the prisoner suddenly ran out of a saloon, drew a revolver and began an indiscriminate shooting. The "reserves" were called out and three policemen now lie dangerously wounded in the hospital. He is held for examination, pending a possible inquest by the coroner.
Meantime a lank youth from New Jersey listens vacantly while an officer accuses him of abandoning a horse which has suddenly expired while harnessed to the defendant's truck wagon. He pays a fine and vanishes. Two young Irish-Americans, mutually damaged, are arraigned for "disorderly conduct." They, too, are fined, being already substantially punished—by each other. A man accused of "Sunday selling" follows a woman who tells a pitiful tale of how her husband has abandoned her and her five little ones. Later in the day the husband is found and ordered to pay her ten dollars per week. Two retail milk dealers charged with adulteration or "keeping a cow in an unhealthy place," a band of pickpockets who have been caught "working" a horse-car, a woman accused of "soliciting," and a bartender who has allowed a "slot machine" to be left upon the premises, give place to a vociferous store-keeper who has caused the arrest of a very stout 강서오피 man for the lar[Pg 55]ceny of four pairs of trousers. He explains loudly that the defendant (who weighs at least 325 pounds) came into the store, asked to see some "pants," and while the clerk was not looking stuffed four pairs of these articles inside his waistband and made his escape. The complainant not only identifies the defendant with absolute certainty but goes so far as to state with equal positiveness that the accused now has on the very trousers into which he stuffed the stolen property. Four pairs identical in size and material with those alleged to have been purloined are produced and marked in evidence. The fat man indignantly denies having been in the store at all. The reporters are interested.
"Gentlemen," says the judge, "I appoint you a committee to conduct the defendant to my private room for the purpose of determining whether or not you can stuff these articles of apparel inside his waistband."
The reporters, followed more slowly by the perspiring defendant, make their way to a back room, from which they presently emerge to announce through their spokesman that it would be impossible to thrust any object, much less four pairs of trousers, inside the band of the defendant's trousers.
