The Brainwashing of a Nation in Four Basic Stages by Yuri Bezmenov
G. Edward Griffin Interview of Yuri Bezmenov, Video and Transcripts
Full interview in video below
"It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy, exposed to the ideology of the enemy. In other words, Marxist-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students without being challenged or counter-balanced by the basic values of Americanism, American patriotism. The result? The result you can see. Most of the people who graduated in the sixties, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, educational system. You are stuck with them. You cannot get rid of them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their minds even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you cannot change the basic perception and illogical behavior. In other words, in these people the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible. To rid society of these people, you need another 15 years to educate a new generation of patriotically-minded and common sense people who would be acting in favor and in the interests of the United States society." – 1985 Interview of Yuri Bezmenov, Russian-Born, KGB-Trained Subverter Who Defected to the United States
THE FOUR STAGES OF IDEOLOGICAL SUBVERSION: WITH FORMER KGB OFFICER, YURI ALEXANDROVICH BEZMENOV INTERVIEWED BY G. EDWARD GRIFFIN
A Former KGB Officer Explains The Four Stages of Ideological Subversion:
1 - Demoralization
2 - Destabilization
3 - Crisis
4 - Normalization
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT (first aired in 1985)
G. Edward Griffin interviews Ex-KGB Soviet Defector Yuri Bezmenov on the four-step program of demoralization, destabilization, crisis, and normalization used by the KGB to subvert nations. This interview was conducted in 1985, but has only recently been re-highlighted. Yuri explains why people cannot recognize truth when presented to them and why America has difficulty resisting a Socialist agenda.
ED GRIFFIN (introduces Mr. Bezmenov):
Our conversation is with Mr. Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov.
Mr. Bezmenov was born in 1939 in a suburb of Moscow. He was the son of a high-ranking Soviet army officer.
He was educated in the elite schools inside the Soviet Union and became an expert in Indian culture and Indian languages.
He had an outstanding career with Novosti [Press Agency (APN)], which was the -- and still is, I should say -- the press arm or the press agency of the Soviet Union. It turns out that this is also a front for the KGB.
He escaped to the West in 1970 after becoming totally disgusted with the Soviet system; and he did this at great risk to his life. He certainly is one of the world's outstanding experts on the subject of Soviet propaganda and disinformation and active measures.
ED GRIFFIN:
Well, you spoke before about "ideological subversion" and that's a phrase that I'm afraid some Americans don't understand. When the Soviets use the phrase "ideological subversion" what do they mean by it?
(Turning to Besmenov):
When the Soviets use the phrase "ideological subversion" what do they mean by it?
YURI ALEXANDROVICH BEZMENOV:
Ideological subversion is the process which is [a] legitimate, old word, and open. You can see it with your own eyes. All American mass media has to do is to "unplug bananas" from their ears, open up their eyes, and they can see it. There is no mystery. It has nothing to do with espionage.
I know espionage, intelligence gathering, looks more romantic. It sells more deodorants through the advertising, probably. That's why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond type of thrillers.
But in reality, the main emphasis of the KGB is not in the area of intelligence at all. According to my opinion, and opinion of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either "ideological subversion" or "active measures", активные меры in the language of the KGB, or "psychological warfare".
What it basically means is to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country.
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow, and is divided into four basic stages.
The first stage being "demoralization". It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy.
In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.
Most of the activity of that department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion: publishers, editors, journalists, actors, educationalists, professors of political science, members of parliament, representatives of business circles.
Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups: those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation; [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution.
Same way as in a small town of Hua in South Vietnam: several thousands of Vietnamese were executed in one night when the city was captured by [the] Viet Cong for only two days. And American CIA could never figure out - how could [the communists] possibly know each individual, where he lives, where to get him; and [in order that they] would be arrested in one night basically in four hours before dawn, put on a van, driven out of the city limits, and shot.
The answer is very simple. Long before communists occupy the city, there was extensive network of informers - local Vietnamese citizens who knew absolutely everything about people who are instrumental in public opinion - including barbers and taxi drivers. Everyone who was sympathetic to United States was executed. Same thing was done under the guidance of the Soviet Embassy in Hanoi, and same thing I was doing in New Delhi. To my horror, I discovered that in the files were people who were doomed to execution. There were names of pro-Soviet Journalists with whom I was personally friendly.
Pro-Soviets?
YURI BEZMENOV:
They were idealistically minded Leftists who made several visits to U.S.S.R. and yet, the KGB decided that come Revolution, for drastic changes in political structure of India, they will have to go.
Pro Soviet?
Yes, absolutely. They were idealistically minded leftist communists who had made several visits to the USSR; and yet the KGB decided, that come Revolution, or drastic changes in political structure of India - they will have to go.
Because they know too much. Simply, because, you see the USEFUL IDIOTS; the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of Soviet or Communist or Socialist or whatever system; when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That's why my KGB instructors specifically made the point, "never bother with leftists, forget about these political prostitutes - aim higher" - his was my instruction. Try to get into, uh, large circulation, established conservative media. Reach filthy rich movie makers, intellectuals in so-called academic circles. Cynical, ego-centric people who can look into your eyes with angelic expression and tell you a lie. These are the most recruitable people - people who lack moral principals, who are either too greedy or too, uh, suffer from self-importance, uh, they feel that they matter a lot. Uh, these are the people who KGB wanted very much to recruit.
But to eliminate the others; to execute the others, don't they serve some purpose - wouldn't they be the one's to rely on?
No, they serve purpose only [up] to the stage of destabilization of a nation. For example, your leftists in [the] United States - all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion; only to destabilize a nation. When the job is completed, they are not needed anymore. They know too much.
Some of them, when they get disillusioned - when they see that Marxist-Leninist come to power - obviously they get offended; they think that THEY will come to power. That will never happen, of course; they will be lined up against the wall and shot.
But, they may turn into the most bitter enemies of Marxist-Leninists when they come to power.
And that's what happened in Nicaragua. You remember most of these former Marxist-Leninists were either put to prison or one of them split and now he's working against Sandinistas.
It happened in Grenada when Maurice Bishop was - he was already a Marxist - he was executed by a new Marxist who was more Marxist than this Marxist.
Same happened in Afghanistan, when, uh, first there was Taraki; he was killed by Amin, then Amin was killed by Karmal with the help of KGB.
Same happened in Bangladesh when Mujibur Rahman - very pro-Soviet Leftist was assassinated by his own Marxist-Leninst military comrades.
It's the same pattern everywhere. The moment they serve their purpose, all the useful idiots are either executed entirely - all the idealistically minded Marxists - or exiled or put in prisons like in Cuba many former Marxists are in Cuba and in prison.
So, basically, America is stuck with demoralization. And unless - even if you start right now, here, this minute, you start educating new generation of Americans - it will still take you 15 to 20 years to turn the tide of uh, ideological perception of reality, uh back to normalcy and patriotism.
The result? The result you can see.
Most of the people who graduated in the 60s, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals, are now occupying the positions of power: the government, civil service, business, mass media, educational system.
You are stuck with them.
You cannot get rid of them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov].
You can not change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.
In other words, [for] these people, the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible. To rid society of these people you need another 15 or 20 years to educate a new generation of patriotically-minded and common sense people who would be acting in favor and in the interests of United States society.
And yet these people who have been programmed and as you say [are] in place and who are favorable to an opening with the Soviet concept [meaning NEW WORLD ORDER]- these are the very people who would be marked for extermination in this country?
Most of them, yes. Simply because the psychological shock, when they will see in [the] future what the beautiful society of equality and social justice means in practice. Obviously they will revolt. They will be very unhappy [and] frustrated people. And Marxist Leninist regime does not tolerate these people. Ah, they obviously they will join the [ranks] of dissenters, dissidents.
Ah, unlike in present United States, there will be no place for dissent in [a] future Marxist-Leninist America. Ah, here you can get popular, like ah, Daniel Ellsberg, or filthy rich, like Jane Fonda, for being a dissident, for criticizing your Pentagon. In [the] future these people will simply be [he makes a squishy noise] squashed like cockroaches [ for criticizing the government]. Nobody is going to pay them nothing for their beautiful, noble ideas of equality. This they don't understand. And, and ah, will be greatest shock for them, of course.
1. The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already, for the last 25 years, actually; it's over-fulfilled because, ah, demoralization reaches such areas where previously not even Comrade Andropov [1911-1984] and all his experts would even dream of such tremendous success.
Most of it is done by Americans to Americans, thanks to lack of moral standards. As I mentioned before, ah, exposure to true information does not matter any more. A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Ah, even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures. Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him the concentration camps...he will refuse to believe it.... until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom. When the military boot crashes, then he will understand. But not before that. That's the tragedy of the situation of demoralization.
2. The next stage is destabilization.
This time, subverter does not care about your ideas and the patterns of your consumption. Whether you eat junk food and get fat and flabby doesn't matter any more. It only takes 2 to 5 years to destabilize a nation. This time what matters is essentials: economy, foreign relations, [and] defense systems. And you can see it quite clearly that in some... sensitive areas such as defense and [the] economy, the influence of Marxist-Leninist ideas in the United States is absolutely fantastic. I could never believe it 14 years ago when I landed in this part of the world that the process will go that fast.
3. The next stage, of course is crisis.
It may take only up to six weeks to bring a country to the verge of crisis. You can see it in Central America, now.
4. And, after crisis, with a violent change of power structure and economy, you have so-called a period of "normalization". It may last indefinitely.
Normalization is a cynical expression borrowed from Soviet propaganda. When the Soviet tanks moved into Czechoslovakia in 1968, Comrade Breznev said: "Now, the situation in brotherly Czechoslovakia is normalized."
This is what will happen in [the] United States if you allow all the schmucks to bring the country to crisis. To promise people all kinds of goodies, and the paradise on Earth. Uh, to destabilize your economy, to eliminate the principal of free market competition, and to put a big brother government in Washington D.C. with benevolent dictators like [1984] Walter Mondale, who will promise lots of things - never mind whether the promises are fulfilled or not.
He [the dictator] will go to Moscow to kiss the bottoms of a new generation of Soviet assassins. Never mind. He will create false illusions that the situation is under control. The situation is NOT under control. [The] situation is disgustingly out of control.
Most of the American politicians, media and educational system trains another generation of people who think that they are living at the peace time. False.
United States is in a state of war: undeclared total war against the basic principles and the foundations of this system.
And the initiator of this war is not Comrade Andropov of course - it's the system. However, ridiculous it may sound, [it is] the world Communist system or the world Communist conspiracy. Whether I scare some people or not, I don't give a hoot. If you're not scared by now, nothing can scare you.
You don't have to be paranoid about it. What actually happens now, that unlike myself, you have literally several years to live on unless United States wake up. The time bomb is ticking. With every second, the disaster is coming closer. Unlike myself, you will have nowhere to defect to, unless you want to live in Antarctica with penguins.
Okay, so what do we do? What is your recommendation to the American people?
Well, the immediate thing that comes to mind is, of course, there must be a very strong national effort to educate people in the spirit of REAL patriotism, number one. Number two, to explain [to] them the real danger of socialist, communist, welfare state, Big Brother government. If people fail to grasp the impending danger [of that development], nothing ever will help the United States. You may kiss goodbye your freedoms, including [freedom to] homosexuals, to the prison inmate. All this freedom will vanish in five seconds, including your precious lives.
The moment [that] at least part of [the] United States population is convinced that the danger is real, they have to FORCE their government - and I'm not talking about sending letters, signing petitions, and all this beautiful, noble activity - I'm talking about FORCING [the] United States government to stop aiding Communism....

Same happened in Afghanistan…when first there was Taraki, he was killed by Amin and he was killed by Babrak Karmal with the help of the KGB. Same happened in Bangladesh when Mujibar Rahman, a very pro-Soviet leftist, he was assassinated by his own Marxist/Leninist military comrades. It's the same pattern everywhere.
In summary, the Active Measures to subvert the West are:
Destabilization
Think about many of the issues we face today. This KGB developed 4 part process has been applied to just about every institution and organization in this country to effect the enormous cultural changes in the last half century. It is at the heart of every action taken by the feminist movement in their efforts to lobby for what we now recognize as the active effort to break the Patriarchal nuclear family as the foundation for our society. The institution of marriage and basic gender roles have been demoralized, destabilized and in a state of crisis for an entire generation now…to the point to where it is now normalized.
As Yuri said, one only has to open their eyes to easily see that we have most assuredly been subverted.
Obama is the Manifestation of a Multi-Generational Soviet Plot to Destroy America (Excerpt)
The Economic Stimulus Plan is working, but not for America. The plan is working for Obama and his liberal cohorts to reshape America into a communist state and to accumulate total power over the American people. Obamas's intentions are to change the free market system into a government-controlled market, and for individual freedoms and our way of life to be forfeited to the Government. Through job losses, instability in the Stock Market and financial institutions, and stoking fear into American lives, the failures to date of Obama's so-called "Recovery Plans" will cause Americans to cry for more government intervention so that one day we will find ourselves under a total communist state. Make no mistake about it: Obama's actions are not for the benefit of America and our way of life; it is all about Obama and his megalomania vision for Obama's third world nation. - jamalagrinaolcom, Obama: Stimulus Bill Worked 'as Intended', Washington Times, July 12, 2009
"If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth programme, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of super-rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead, it becomes logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs. Communism or, more accurately, socialism is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite." - Gary Allen, None Dare Call It Conspiracy, Concord Press, 1971
Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show - From the official files of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, we find Allen Hulton, a 39 year veteran of the postal service, who provided a sworn affidavit to Maricopa County, AZ. Sheriff investigators.
Arpaio was leading an investigation to determine whether or not former foreign college student, Barack Obama, was eligible to be placed on Arizona's 2012 election ballot. After reviewing Hulton's affidavit, it is apparent that 1960′s communist agitators and revolutionaries from the communist-inspired Weathermen Underground, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn were in fact the de facto adoptive parents to this foreign student destined to become the first illegitimate President of the United States. As a result, Obama was treated to the finest Ivy League education that communist backed money could buy as Hulton maintains that the Ayers told him that he was financing the education of a promising foreign student at Harvard. Hulton also testified that he met Obama while at the Ayer's home and he asked Obama what he going to do with all his education, to which Obama politely answered, "I am going to become the President". Readers should take note that this is an affidavit, and as such, is formally considered to be evidence, not conjecture or hearsay. There can be no other conclusion that the criminally convicted communist terrorist, Bill Ayers, began grooming Obama to become America's first communist President during Obama's college years. Their relationship continues into the present time as it is on record that Ayers visited the White House in August of 2009. Please note the words "foreign student", which makes Obama ineligible to be in the White House... Much of the Obama administration is a nest of communists and this should serve to gravely concern every American citizen.
Russia, after lulling America to sleep, will join with China in order to attack the United States from both the outside and inside... the death of the Petrodollar means that you will not a have job to go to tomorrow. Because of Obama, the Chinese own our money. Which means they own your mortgage, retirement and savings accounts. Everything you own, is controlled by the Chinese. Soon, they will be coming to collect.
My insider military sources, as well as Dr. Garrow, tell me that plans for an American guerrilla warfare resistance are being put into play as we speak. This means that millions of us are going to die at the hands of foreign invaders and from being caught in the crossfire.

Sequoia Heritage Team
Irwin Gross Managing Director
Long-term investing is as much about the mindset as the duration. It's not about making individual picks, it's about building a portfolio of investments that will stand up over many years.
What we're looking for are ways to buy a dollar for fifty cents.
There's an old saying, "You don't plant a tree for yourself. You plant it so your grandchildren can sit in the shade."
Many investment opportunities just don't line up with our philosophy. High-frequency trading algorithms are great for some people. But it's like picking up nickels in front of a steamroller, it works great until it doesn't.
Sometimes it feels like drinking from a fire hose. You're getting new ideas and opportunities and work at a ferocious rate. Over time you learn to manage it.
One of the most important investments that you can make is in your family. Nothing in my life has been more challenging or more rewarding than being a parent.
We're excited about what we've been able to build but we're never satisfied. It can always be better. We are always looking for the next investment and the next way to improve the portfolio.
For us it isn't about winning a game. It's not about winning the championship. It's about building a franchise that can deliver over and over and over again.
For somebody that thinks about the long-term all the time, long-term is embodied in children. They are the future. That is the long-term. Finding ways to invest in giving kids an opportunity and realize their best selves and potential is the motivation for me.
There is no terminal portfolio, and we don't ever want there to be.

Q: where is default installation directory for mongodb I installed mongodb by following the instructions from its site. To open the shell I must go to the installation directory of mongodb, and then type
./bin/mongo

I don't know the default directory. where might it be?

A: Use the which mongo command to look for the location of the mongo executable.

A: Windows: c:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4.7\bin\mongod
Mac: /usr/local/Cellar/mongodb/3.4.7/bin/mongod
Replacing the 3.4.7 with your version of Mongodb

A: Late to the party but it could help others :
I installed mongodb 3.4.10 for Ubuntu 16.4
I found the mongo file to launch the shell at
/usr/bin/mongo

I found it using the following commands
sudo updatedb
locate -b '\mongo'

Anxiety at public daycare centers as system overhaul gears up
By Chris Arp Jul 18, 2011, 2:02pm EDT
On a recent morning at Stagg Street Center for Children, in Williamsburg, a class of 4-year-olds put up an abstract, angular structure in the first-floor art gallery. The were inspired by Louise Nevelson's "Sky Cathedral," which they had seen on a recent trip to MOMA. Later, that same class sculpted in clay with a visiting artist, while a portable kiln warmed up behind them.
For more than four decades, Larry Provette, Stagg Street's director, has provided rich, arts-focused experiences for low-income children in his neighborhood. But he fears that Stagg Street might not be around much longer.
That's because a city initiative to boost early childhood education is requiring every publicly funded daycare center, from mom-and-pop operations working out of apartments to larger centers housed in city facilities, to prove that they are worthy of city funding. Directors welcomed the news late last week that their deadline to do so has been pushed back a month, to Sept. 12.
That deadline is for the first step in an ambitious overhaul, called EarlyLearn, of the city's public daycare system. Under EarlyLearn, the city's 647 daycare programs and family care networks, which together served 51,766 children in 2010-2011, will have to meet higher academic and developmental standards starting in 2013. By September, all programs must reapply for approval from the Administration for Children's Services, which funds and oversees them. The proposals must describe each center's existing programs and outline how they will be updated to meet the new standards. ACS and the Department of Education, which will help review applications, plan to announce which centers will receive new contracts in March 2012.
The new standards are steep: Programs must show how they provide support to parents, create a challenging curriculum that prepares students for kindergarten and instruct children in health and safety. They need to find more time for staff development, guarantee service for children with special needs and be assessed annually according to a new grading program. Children will need to be screened for health, social and hygienic needs and assessed for academic gains. Some programs will have to expand their hours of operation. And for the first time, centers will need to pay for a portion of this themselves.
The change is coming at a time when national focus is shifting to early childhood education. In May, Education Secretary Arne Duncan announced that $500 million in Race to the Top funds would be set aside for states that promise to boost their child care systems. EarlyLearn predates Duncan's announcement but could help New York State's bid, which Sherry Cleary, co-chair of the Governor's Early Childhood Advisory Council, characterized as a "strong contender."
Many center directors and early childhood experts applaud the spirit behind EarlyLearn. But they also say ACS isn't giving centers enough time or money to overhaul themselves, and that the initiative could end up hurting some centers more than it helps the system.
The New Deal
The changes are meant to unify a sprawling system of daycare centers that have long ranged in quality and character.
"There is definitely a disparity [in quality]," said Letitia James, the Brooklyn City Councilwoman. "I've spoken to schools in my district about daycare centers, asking them if they come to school prepared. They can identify the children that come from certain daycare centers, because they are developmentally delayed."
The impetus behind EarlyLearn is a desire to improve strong programs while pushing weaker ones to catch up — or be closed.
"While the existing system has many high quality programs, the standards and services available vary based on funding stream," Melanie Hartzog, the deputy commissioner for child care and head start at ACS, wrote in an email. "It is our goal to move to a system where services are seamless for families and all programs regardless of setting are resourced to provide successful learning environments for young children."
In short, that means becoming more like a Head Start program. Head Start, a half-century-old federal initiative that aims to help poor children start kindergarten on par with their middle-class peers, sets out over 1,700 standards for its programs, more than 250 of which are operating in the city. Head Start programs are considered rigorous and comprehensive, and studies show that Head Start graduates are more likely to complete high school and less likely to be charged with a crime.
"If you're not ready, if you don't want to be a Head Start, you're still going to want to look at that program, and look in that direction," Wendy Raver, an education consultant, told 15 childcare center directors at a recent workshop on how to craft their EarlyLearn proposals.
With what money?
But replicating the rigor of a Head Start comes with a hefty price tag, one that some center directors say they will not be able to afford. Since 2006, the city has spent more on daycare even as the number of children served has declined, according to a 2010 report from the city's Independent Budget Office. And while City Council largesse has meant that only 10 programs have shut their doors in the past two years, budget cuts have gutted ACS's central administration.
"There have been across-the-board staff reductions since 2008," said Elysia Murphy Carnevale, an ACS spokeswoman. "Agency-wide, we have gone through several rounds of budget cuts in response to the fiscal crisis. On top of that, the city has been facing a significant deficit in the childcare system."
"This is an incredibly critical moment for the system," said Betty Holcomb, Policy Director for the Center for Children's Initiatives, a nonprofit that is currently analyzing EarlyLearn to determine whether the requirements can be met within ACS's proposed budget.
Many center directors have already concluded that EarlyLearn is an impossible task for them right now. "It's going to put us all out of business," said Provette. "All programs are at risk, very much so."
Wendy Raver's workshop was sponsored by the Daycare Council, a membership organization that provides assistance to child care centers, to help directors write their proposals. At the workshop, she acknowledged daycare providers' concerns about being able to meet the new requirements.
"There's going to be a lot of centers at the table that don't have this now," Raver said. "You're going to have to show in your proposals what steps you're going to take to get there."
One director, who wished to remain anonymous so as not to jeopardize her proposal, complained that she lacked the personnel to implement the changes.
"Some of our employees only have a high school degree," she said. "Now I have to train them to design a curriculum, and at the same time you're cutting my budget?" (The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which sets the licensing requirements, said that daycare classroom teachers have always been required to hold a Bachelor's degree.)
Andrea Anthony, the executive director of the Daycare Council, said there could be ways to meet some of the EarlyLearn standards without spending more money.
"Our official position is that it's not enough money to provide the services that they are asking for," Anthony said. "But there are options. … On some of this stuff we can get some help."
She suggested, for example, that programs could meet a requirement that they teach about health by recruiting volunteers from local hospitals.
But even if centers can find ways to meet the new standards, they will still have to wrestle with two other financial pressures. Under EarlyLearn, ACS is now asking centers to pay for 6.7 percent of their operating costs, and, possibly, to shoulder their employees' health care costs. Some leaders of nonprofit groups that support daycare centers say that these new stipulations cannot be met within the current budget.
"The funding formula will not meet the needs," Liz Accles, of the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies, which provides services and assistance to public daycare centers, said. "The healthcare expenses that are said to be contained within the [budgeted rate] just don't pan out when programs do their own analysis."
She said she had concluded that EarlyLearn could not work while programs are already straining to provide services. "EarlyLearn is an interesting model in a time of ample funding," she said, "not a time of protracted budgetary restrictions."
Whether the time is ripe or not, directors are preparing for the change. At Stagg Street, Provette is figuring out ways to sell his program's most valuable features, like his arts-focused curriculum, in its EarlyLearn application. But he worries that he still might not make the cut. "That would be devastating for this community," he said.


Unless you are a person with an ADHD brain, it's hard to believe that ADHD is real. People usually think it's an excuse or nonsense.
If you have ADHD, you remember being the child who stared out the window while the teacher was talking. Or maybe you were clowning around, making jokes with the kid sitting next to you. You sat for hours staring at your homework assignment, but none of it made sense, especially the math problems.
You would read the pages in a book over and over again, yet the words didn't sink in. How is it possible that you can read and have no idea what you just read? You knew you were smart, but only in some subjects. And then there were times you felt smarter than all the other kids, but your grades didn't show that.
Your parents were called in for teacher conferences, only to hear her annoying comments again, "If she would only concentrate, she'd be an A student." I hated hearing those words as a child, and then again as a parent. Didn't they see how hard you tried to read the words on the page, or listen to the teacher's monotonous voice?
As the years went by, you found a way around it. Maybe you lied about homework assignments or cheated on tests until you finally figured out how to push through the internal struggles in your mind that no one else could see.
You had read the same paragraph ten times before it made sense. You had one great friend that loved you in spite of your unreliable planning disabilities: being late, making two different plans at the same time, and leaving one friend to go wandering off with another.
Then when you were older, you were sure that you were free and clear. You found a career, had a serious relationship or got married, and had kids but then you ran into a wall of bricks. There are still paragraphs that make no sense when you read them. You forget to pay the bills on time. Leaving the house looks like a scene in a Broadway drama. You scream when your dog whines. Your clothes are scratchy. Your bed is lumpy. And, the worst part is….
It's also hard for the people who love you. It's hard to believe someone is incapable; when at times you are very capable when working on a project you enjoy. What do you mean you can't? It looks like you can.
When you've read certain books, it's as if you are the writer, understanding every word on the page. What do you mean when you say you can't read?
You can prepare a meal for twenty people in one day. How is it possible that you can't put a letter in a mailbox?
How could anyone not pay a bill, pick up the dry cleaning, make a doctor's appointment, or forget three items that are on the grocery list you are holding in your hand?
ADHD is a perplexing, frustrating, and disruptive disorder- to the people who have it and to the ones who love them. We (those of us who have it) confuse people who don't have it. We say one thing than we do another. They think we are smart, but then we make a few dumb choices that snowball into multiple problems.
Blame it on my ADHD. Don't you dare say that! If you do, you are making excuses. You are telling a lie. Don't say you can't. They think you just don't want to. Too bad, they don't know how much you want to, but really can't.
How do you explain you can't when you look like you can? Forget it. Don't bother trying to explain it. No one will believe you.
The truth is- ADHD is real. You only know it's real, if you have it. For years, I tried to deny mine. I joked around about my unusual and creative way of doing things (which I would never want to change). Or I'd tell myself (and other people) it's just my personality. I like to laugh and have fun. Sure, I procrastinated with some tasks. But then there were other tasks that I completed immediately and perfectly.
I didn't have the "H" of ADHD. Maybe I did have a little trouble focusing on one thing at a time, but I wasn't HYPER. Yet the more I thought about it, the more I realized I'm not hyper externally, but internally I am. Some days the hyper is in my mind- with thoughts racing out of control. Some days it's in my body: pounding pulse, fidgeting fingers, and needing lots of space to pace.
Oh, if they only knew what really goes on inside our heads. How hard we try, how fast our minds work, how we see endless possibilities in every little thought, how terrible it feels to read words and not comprehend them, and how exhausted we get from all of this constant activity in our minds.
Look, it doesn't mean that we're playing a sad violin wanting everyone to feel sorry for us and our strange thought patterns. All we ask is for a little extra kindness, are gentler, nicer and lighten up a little.
Let's laugh over the silly little things. Know that we are trying hard. And if we're not, it's only because we are exhausted and need to shut down for a while so we can re-boot later. Because having an ADHD mind is exhausting.
Try to remember why you fell in love. ADHDers are fun to be with, funny and fantastic when we are doing what we love. We wear our hearts on our sleeves. We love from the depths of our souls. We are passionate, people-pleasers who love to make other people happy, usually at the expense of our own happiness.
All we're asking for is a little compassion, patience, and non-judgmental love. That means no rolling eyeballs, no dirty looks, and no screaming when we're a few minutes late or can't find our keys.
If you can do that, we will try harder, and continue to try harder. We will figure out how to get through our rough spots, if you promise to be by our side, supporting us, cheering us on, and waiting for us at the finish line.
1- Know the difference between can't and won't.
Sometimes projects, books, assignments are so hard to concentrate on and comprehend that the ADHD brain hurts. There are times when the ADHDer can, but it will take a lot of extra effort, support, and time to accomplish the task.
There are coaches who specialize in ADHD who will work with your specific challenge to help you find a way to accomplish your tasks successfully.
Not everyone thinks, acts, and does everything the same. We need each other's strengths to balance out our weaknesses. That's a good thing.
Realize that we are trying our hardest, even if it doesn't look like we are. Go easy, be gentle, and give us a little extra time. Remember there are many benefits to your life because of our ADHD.
Don't be so serious. Not everything is such a big deal. Some things are not worth fighting about. Everything is not a drama. Learn how to lighten up, laugh and have fun again.
Read your blog, and can see why your article went viral. You are amazingly honest, and that is what is wonderful. You outed yourself, whereas most people with ADHD believe they are crazy, going off their heads, afraid to admit they are not perfect (who needs perfect? No one is perfect) We are all unique human beings and you are providing a great outlet for those who have yet to admit they need help. Understanding is key, and compassion, patience and having the ability to laugh at one's own silliness in some things and smartness in others is what makes the difference. Humour and not to take oneself too seriously is what I find to be key. Life is serious enough, without us giving ourselves migraines about how we are percieved. Yes, we do all want to be like for ourselves, and honesty about who you really are will attract the true believers. The rest will find their niche. Thank you for your insights and for taking the time to spell this very misunderstood trait that I myself might possibly have, and are only discovering now after 63 years. By the way I love Adam Levine, he is a brilliant singer and human being. The first time I saw Maroon Five, I just knew they would be famous. Loved him on the Voice, which we used to get in SA, am waiting for the new season to get here.
Thanks so much for your fabulous comment! It means so much to me to know that my article is appreciated! Yes, I love Adam, too!!

December Edition of Casebook from the Rural Health and Care Alliance
Casebook Casebook news and events
December 2020 Edition
In Casebook this month some great exposure for our campaigning on rural health inequalities. Vaccine, Brexit, AI, test and trace…. Then some great news about the launch of our Rural Proofing Toolkit and the evolution of our Covid Impact Dashboard.
Covid response hits rural NHS services hard – report
I am thrilled that in partnership with the Nuffield Trust we have managed to achieve this exposure in the national press. This story tells us:
NHS patients in rural areas of England face extra-long waits for treatment, according to a study.
The Nuffield Trust think-tank says urban areas benefited most from measures put in place to help the NHS cope with the coronavirus pandemic.
Researchers found rural hospitals now faced an uphill challenge when it came to restoring services to normal.
NHS England says that funding reflects the higher costs of delivering care in rural communities.
The Nuffield Trust report says while the number of Covid cases in rural areas was lower than in big urban centres, the pandemic's impact on services has been much greater.
It says the coronavirus crisis highlighted pre-existing problems facing rural trusts.
For example, it can be hard to recruit and retain doctors and nurses who are willing to work in smaller hospitals, which means trusts rely more heavily on expensive agency staff to fill gaps in rotas.
This, in turn, has a detrimental effect on the finances of hospital trusts which struggle to balance the books.
In addition, rural trusts often have only a limited capacity to treat any extra patients as they are often already very busy.
Prof Richard Parish, chair of the National Centre for Rural Health and Care, said: "We continue to be concerned that COVID-19 has made a number of rural inequalities worse.
"There doesn't appear to be much short-term prospect of respite. When there is, we still have to make progress towards a level playing field.
"This would involve, for a start, reducing the reliance on agency staff in rural health settings, speeding up rates of hospital discharge and reducing waiting times for elective surgery."

Covid-19: Vaccine rollout 'ready' for any Brexit outcome
I hope this story proves to be true…..
The Covid vaccine will reach everyone in the UK who needs it - whatever the outcome of post-Brexit trade talks, the medicines regulator head has vowed.
Dr June Raine said officials had a clear "goal" and were "fully prepared for any possible outcome"
Asked about a no-deal situation, she told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: "We have practised. We are ready."
The first jabs are being given this week and Dr Raine said people could have "real confidence" in their safety.
The EU and UK are trying to reach a trade deal before a 31 December deadline.
Dr Raine, chief executive of Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), said: "We are ready and we know that whatever the deal we will be able to ensure that people have access."
She said the "goal" of the MHRA was to "make sure that whatever the outcome, whatever the deal, that medicines and medical devices and vaccines reach anyone in all parts of the country in the same way without any interruption at all".
Responding to a question on the same issue, Environment Minister George Eustice told Sophy Ridge on Sky News: "We have got many contingency plans in place and there won't be any effect on the deployment of this vaccine from a no-deal Brexit."

UK Invests $330 Million To Lead the World in Healthcare AI
A fascinating glimpse of the planning for the future…..
The year 2020 has undoubtedly provided those in healthcare and technology communities with multiple problems to solve. From enabling telemedicine at scale to creating and distributing an entirely new vaccine, the problems caused by the pandemic have required collaboration, investment and adoption at speed previously unseen in healthcare.
As well as solving the acute problems caused by the vaccine, healthcare organisations are now faced with the challenge of addressing a significant backlog. New NHS England figures show the number of patients waiting to start treatment at the end of October 2020 was 4.44 million and of those, 162,888 were waiting more than a full year. While we were dealing with the immediate issue, a lot of healthcare stopped, but the requirement for it certainly did not. A great deal now needs to be done.
In September 2020, NHSX, the organisation driving the digital transformation of health and social care, announced that 42 tech companies will receive a share of over £50M in phase one of its £140M AI in Health and Care Award.

Covid's 'devastating impact' on NHS services exposed by latest figures
This is a really sad story and has not been fully weighed in the balance in terms of our covid impact assessment
Soaring numbers of patients are having to wait more than a year for surgery because Covid has disrupted hospital care so badly, new NHS performance statistics show.
The big rise in people facing delays of at least 52 weeks for an operation comes amid warnings that access to treatment will take years to get back to normal.
In October, 162,888 people in England had waited more than a year for a non-urgent planned procedure, even though the supposed maximum waiting time is 18 weeks. That was the largest number of patients forced to wait that long since October 2008.
The total was 123 times more than the 1,321 such cases there were in October 2019 and was 23,343 (16.7%) up on the 139,545 in that situation just a month earlier. Jonathan Ashworth, the shadow health secretary, said the surge in year-long waits was "staggering".
Dr David Wrigley, the British Medical Association's deputy council chair, said: "It is quite frankly alarming that the number of patients waiting more than a year for care is now 123 times higher than last October. These are patients in pain, distress and needing treatment."
Prof Neil Mortensen, president of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, said the people waiting for surgery would often be in pain and unable to get on with their normal life. "These waiting time figures drive home the devastating impact Covid has had on wider NHS services. Waiting lists for planned treatment were already heaving when the virus first struck. It has made the situation many times worse."

England's test and trace repeatedly failed to hit goals despite £22bn cost
£22bn down the line we seem to have replaced any interest in test and trace with the vaccine. I suspect in part because one suggests inconvenience and the other freedom! It will be interesting to see how this all pans out in the next month or so…
The government's test-and-trace programme to combat Covid-19 in England has repeatedly failed to meet targets for delivering test results and contacting infected people despite costs escalating to £22bn, a damning official report has revealed.
The National Audit Office (NAO) has found that the centralised programme is contacting two out of every three people who have been close to someone who has tested positive, with about 40% of test results delivered within 24 hours, well below the government's targets.
The report said a target to provide results within 24 hours of in-person testing deteriorated to a low of 14% in mid-October before rising to 38% in early November.
Call handler contracts for those working on test and trace were worth up to £720m but many staff had very little to do, auditors said.
By 17 June, the utilisation rate – the proportion of time that someone actively worked during their paid hours – was 4% for health professionals and 1% for call handler staff, the report shows.

NATIONAL CENTRE UPDATE
A great month for the National Centre. We launched our Rural Proofing toolkit developed through a commission with Rural England. You can access the toolkit here. More information from the seminar at which we launched it with insights from other key speakers is available here.
We also got some fabulous exposure for our work with Nuffield on the impact of the pandemic on rural settings. This is featured in the first story in Casebook this month.
We also had a great international series of insights from the Parliamentary Inquiry with speakers from USA, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, India Spain and Brazil. We are following up with a detailed partnering discussion linked to the National Rural Health Association in the USA. Watch this space for more information. They have a fabulous library of international best practice resources.
Parliamentary Inquiry
We have a further session on emergency services planned for the Parliamentary Inquiry on 15 December which will be followed by plans to begin drafting the overall report. Look out for Easter.
We are currently revising and looking to strengthen still further our package of member benefits in the new year – we'll be in touch in early 2021.
Mobilising Around Community Responses to Rural Health and Care
We are currently developing a new bid to supplement our work on community engagement in rural health care.
Successful Funding Applications
Two bids we have been cited in: an Innovate UK proposal to provide driverless delivery vehicles with a range of foci including rural health and care with the University of Lincoln and a proposal led by Dr Tom Kingstone at Keele entitled: FIRESIDE study (Optimising Fire and Rescue Service "Safe & Well" visits to support detection and sign-posting for mental health problems in older adults) have both been approved.
Wider Mental Health Work
Finally, for this edition to make you aware of the work we have begun with Support in Mind Scotland, Mental Health Foundation Wales and Rural Support Northern Ireland to explore the case for a rural mental health forum in each UK country. I can provide more information on request. This has involved a submission to the Comprehensive Spending Review and is gathering pace as we move forward into 2021.
And Finally – Merry Christmas!!!!!
The partnership between the National Centre and the Institute of Rural Health at the University of Lincoln is gathering pace. We have committed to work together to look at the impact of the English Indices of Deprivation on health and care policy, to review the key workforce challenges which the centre is aware of and to progress our joint input into the national pilot Centre for Future Living on the Lincolnshire Coast in Mablethorpe.
Members Research Interests Survey
A big thank you to the member organisations that have taken part in our Members' Interests Survey. The survey is still live so if you haven't yet completed it click here.
The results from this so far show that the three most common areas of interest are: accessibility of services, long term health conditions and remote and digital health services.

If you've been to any Country in South East Asia then I guarantee you've slapped on some UV paint for the Full Moon party, got a sunrise photo of Ankor Wat, hugged an elephant or been on THAT swing.
They were just some of the amazing things that I was excited about before I went travelling and of course ticked off my bucket lists. With a fair bit of travelling under my belt now there are so many hidden gems I discovered along the way that are the tru underdogs of South East Asia's activities so I thought I would share a few of them with you guys!
First up on our list is getting yourself off the beaten track, away from the crowds and really experience how a local hill tribe family live really is a rare opportunity not to be missed.
On our Northern Thailand Adventure tour you get to spend the night with a local village tribe in the middle of the jungle.
The trek to the village through the jungle is an amazing achievement stopping off at beautiful waterfalls but not only to you visit the village but they welcome you into their home, cook you their traditional delicious meal and you stay the night.
One of the greatest things about travelling is enjoying all the amazing local cuisines (local food is also the cheaper option so you can have more change for beer money) so next up we have a cooking class!
Learning about how they grow or buy their ingredients from the market and cook get hands on and cook a traditional meal.
I've never been one for cooking or knowing much about food but I've done a few cooking classes across Asia and found I learnt so much and they were super interactive and fun.
The cooking class I did on our Bali Experience tour, we also had the opportunity to make Canang sari which is one of the daily offerings made by Balinese Hindus. If you've ever been to Bali you will see these everywhere.
One of the greatest things about being away is switching off from modern day stress so get yourself back to basics and ditch the wifi.
If sleeping under the stars listening the sound of waves hitting the shore of your own private beach sounds like something you want to add to your bucket list, you now can over on our Philippines West and Island Hopper tour and immerse yourself for 3 days/2 nights getting a feel for the local Tagbanaua way of life by meeting some of the locals and participating in cultural activities such as spearfishing, mat weaving and an indigenous Filipino cooking class!
Phong Nha - Paradise Cave is one of the longest cave systems in the world. A jam packed day spent exploring caves, ziplining, swimming and kayaking. It's pitch black in there but we head torches and your travel family around you, it's a great group bonding activity for all adventurous levels. Check all of this out on our Vietnam Explorer.
Kampot in Cambodia is such a cool little town and if you get the opportunity to head to arcadia- DO IT! Whether you just fancy chilling out on a tube or want to give one of the slides or zip lines a whirl it's a lot of fun for all ages! This was my first experience of 'The Blob' which is a giant inflatable pillow which launches you across the lake when someone jumps on it. My first and last experience of the blob shall we say!
Glamping in Udawalawe National Park with a freshwater lake available for a little afternoon cool down dip. You also get the opportunity to head down to visit an elephant orphanage to witness first hand how they look after all the wild elephants in the area.
Sri Lanka is filled with beautiful wild elephants so I'm sure you will see many but you can also see them on our Safari day on our Sri Lanka Uncovered as well as plenty of the local wildlife including buffalos, flamingos and monkeys just to mention a few.
Continuing the theme of seeing beautiful animals in the wild, if you would like to see rare freshwater dolphins then you can in Laos!
Hop in your kayaks across to Don Det through rice fields to Liphi falls which is part of the 4,000 Islands in Laos on Day 10 of our Laos XL Explorer.
Here you can find Irrawaddy dolphins which are unique beluga-like dolphins found here.


Discussion in 'Trading Post' started by charmander162, Dec 16, 2007.
as the title says, anyone interested.
I made a mistake in ordering the wrong box. does anyone have a Night Dashing Box(DP4 JPN) they are willing to trade. my box is sealed and i need to trade. any takers??

Five of the Best: It's All For Charity
By Maddy Jennings
The gifts that keep on giving…
We absolutely adore seeing our favourite YouTubers using their platforms for good. From live streams and fundraisers, to charity concerts and events, we're always left feeling utterly inspired seeing those we watch and look up to using their position to help those in need. It also gives an amazing opportunity to showcase the talents of some of our favourite YouTube stars.
From showcasing their impeccable singing skills to trying out accents and participating in snow-balloon fight, we simply can't get enough, which is why we've decided to dedicate an article to the charitable activities our faves have been involved in. Here they are, our Five of the Best: It's All For Charity!
My American Accent | charlieissocoollike
Way back in 2010, Charlie McDonnell co-hosted the 24-hour StickAid live stream, where all proceeds went to UNICEF. Alongside fellow YouTuber and StickAid founder, Myles Dyer, Charlie stayed up for a full 24 hours straight while the pair took part in several strange (and hilarious) fan-suggested challenges. One of these ended up being a Challenge Charlie, where he was forced to say very American things in a very American accent. Although Charlie's accent was horrific (sorry), we don't think we could've done much better, and we give him major props for giving it a try!
StickAid managed to raise over $30,000 for UNICEF and reached over 1.5 million viewers, with the help of Charlie, Myles and everyone else involved, and, from our recollection, it was a hilarious and inspiring event!
SIDEMEN FC VS YOUTUBE ALLSTARS HIGHLIGHTS 2017 | Sidemen
Last year, the boys from the Sidemen went head-to-head with a host of fellow YouTube stars in a charity football match to help raise money for Childline and the Charlton Athletic Community Trust.
The match was held at The Valley, with thousands of fans attending and many more tuning into the online stream. The Sidemen's team, consisting of members KSI and Vikram Barn, was captained by Simon Minter, while the YouTube Allstars team included the likes of Will Lenney and Caspar Lee, and was captained by Callum Airey.
Tickets for the match were a hot commodity, with 10,000 reported to have been sold within 50 minutes of being released. After a win for the Sidemen in the 2016 charity match, and a win for the YouTube Allstars in the 2017 match, it was anybody's game this time around, and with a score of 7-1, the Sidemen yet again took home the trophy.
Oh Cecilia (Breaking My Heart) YouTube Stars Version In Aid Of Teenage Cancer Trust | The Vamps
At 2014's Summer In The City gathering, a group of YouTuber's joined together with The Vamps to create a beautiful, classy cover of Oh Cecilia (Breaking My Heart) in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust. The cover contains vocals from the likes of Jim Chapman, Ebony Day and Sam King, amongst others, and is something we didn't know we wanted, but are very glad exists.
The cover was flawlessly sung and produced, despite Benjamin Cook and Luke Cutforth's small slip up toward the beginning. (It's okay, guys. That part's too fast for us to sing as well!)
CRINGEMAS! w/ PewDiePie, Jacksepticeye, Emma Blackery, Markiplier, KickThePj | PewDiePie
Cringemas was a seven and a half hour charity live stream held by Revelmode and included Felix Kjellburg, Emma Blackery, Sean McLoughlin, PJ Liguori and Mark Fischbach. It featured the participants taking part in fun-filled activities, such as the mannequin challenge, turning each other into incredibly realistic snowmen using toilet roll and snowball fights. (With balloons, of course.) As a result, we always find ourselves returning to this stream whenever we're in need of a good laugh.
The team managed to raise an amazing £300,000 for the charity (RED), which aims to combat HIV and AIDS across the globe, a cause we feel everyone should support.
The YouTube Boyband – it's all about you(tube) | Comic Relief
2014 saw the rise of our absolute favourite group ever, The YouTube Boyband. Consisting of Jim Chapman, Marcus Butler, Alfie Deyes, Joe Sugg and Caspar Lee, the boyband covered McFly's All About You in support of Comic Relief. From the iconic white suits and Jim's enviable air guitar skills, to Marky Butt Butt's legendary stage invasion and Joe's surprisingly good vocals, this cover is flawless and we're constantly eager for the boys to reunite and release another single.
The YouTube Boyband managed to amass over 14 million views on this video and raised thousands for Sports Relief as a result. We couldn't be more proud of them.
So there you have it…
Our Five of the Best: It's All For Charity! We absolutely love seeing the hard work our fave YouTubers put into giving back to others. It gives us the warmest feelings in our hearts, and it doesn't hurt that many of their charity events have left us experiencing the giggles!

Baby Girl card with In the City from Stampin' Up!
How cute is this card? Using the In the City set I created the little house scene, what I love most about this set is that most images have an outline and then a filler stamp. So the cute little stork's bundle can be pink or blue or any colour you want.
The background paper comes from the Bundle of Love Specialty DSP and wow this paper is gorgeous, one side has patterns with Blushing Bride or Soft Sky paired with Very Vanilla. The other side is Very Vanilla with gold foiling, I knew this paper had some foiling but didn't realise its every sheet! I love it!
I finished the card off with a bow made from the new Gold Metallic Edged Ribbon, this ribbon is lovely and the gold edge at the extra touch of luxury.
Remember the In the City stamp set is only available as a hostess set with an order over £150.00. With the new catalogue launching you are sure to have plenty on your wish list. If you can afford to splurge then for the month of June Stampin' Up! is offering an extra £30.00 hostess credit on all orders over £300.00, thats at least £60.00 in freebies!

In September 1976, James O. (Jay) Fergeson, Jr., realized his desire to return to Sarasota and establish a "boutique" law firm specializing exclusively in the areas of federal and state taxation, wills, trusts and estates.
Mr. Fergeson opened his practice in what was then known as the United First Federal Savings and Loan Association Building located on Main Street at Pineapple Avenue. J. Ronald Skipper, a specialist in wills, trusts, and estates, joined Jay in 1978.
Growing to meet the needs of our clients, the firm expanded with the addition of Andrew Shaw in 1979. As a civil trial attorney, Mr. Shaw's presence marked the beginning of our transformation from a specialty firm to the full service firm that exists today.
On January 1, 1984, trial attorney David J. Baron and real estate attorneys Stephen B. Keyser and E. Ralph Tirabassi merged their law practice into the firm and Fergeson Skipper, P.A., was established.
The continued growth and expansion of the firm and the increase in space demands resulted in a move to larger accommodations in April 1993. The firm presently occupies the 10th floor of the Northern Trust Plaza in the center of downtown Sarasota. The firm offers a full range of legal services to complement Sarasota's growing economy and the expectations of our clients. All services are provided by knowledgeable and experienced attorneys with the assistance of a proficient and dedicated support staff.
The complexity of both the law and our judicial system have engendered specialization within our profession. In 1982, The Florida Bar initiated a certification program to identify for the general public and the profession those attorneys who have demonstrated special knowledge, skills, and proficiency in certain areas of the law. Most of our attorneys have attained certification from The Florida Bar in one or more of the areas of specialization including taxation, wills, trusts, and estates, civil litigation, appellate practice, and real estate law. Two of our attorneys have been elected to the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, or ACTEC, in recognition of their skill as trusts and estates lawyers and their contributions to the practice of trusts and estates law.

Covering Queens in Art, Top to Bottom
More and more people are discovering that the city's fastest growing art scene isn't in Manhattan... it's in Queens. The waterfront neighborhoods around Long Island City have a growing number of art galleries and co-working spaces. They also an impressive collection of museums: MoMA PS1, the Sculpture Center, The Noguchi Museum, Socrates Sculpture Park, & more. And in the warmer months, you can also stop by the popular LIC Food & Flea festival, and catch the views from the waterfront parks.
But Long Island City (or, LIC) has always been synonymous with street art. The neighborhood once housed the the world's premiere "graffiti Mecca": 5Pointz... aka, The Institute of Higher Burnin', aka 5Pointz Aerosol Art Center. Artists from all over the world would apply for a chance to paint on this site. The building itself, while huge (200,000-sq-ft/19,000-m2!), was not itself otherwise remarkable. It was simply a privately-owned factory building that the owner had converted inside to rented artist studios, and turned on the outside to a heavily-curated graffiti gallery. (And curated it was: artists would have to submit portfolios/samples for a chance to make their mark on its walls)
Most New Yorkers became familiar with it while riding the 7 train, as the massive complex, and its painted walls, was the first thing one would see as the train came above ground in Queens.
The building in its prime.
The building was even featured in TV & movies, such as the climax of the 2013 film, "Now You See Me".
Alas, the growing popularity of Long Island City ultimately sealed 5Pointz's fate. The building's owner was made a generous offer for the land by developers, and he sold. After a failed effort by artists to have the building landmarked, it was demolished. A large, luxury residential complex is currently going up where it once stood. Some 5Pointz-era street art on the other end of Davis St is all that remains of the former mecca.
Today, the NYC street art community has largely splintered, with efforts centered around new areas like Bushwick or the Lower East Side or Welling Court in Astoria.
But one organization is looking to create a new mecca nearby in LIC. Arts Org NYC is a group that has worked on numerous projects. Their main project now is called "Top to Bottom", centered at a huge building at the intersection of 21st St & 43rd Ave, just a 10-minute walk from where 5Pointz once stood. The project was recently spotlighted on The Huffington Post. They have gathered some very popular street artists to cover their building from, you guessed it, top to bottom with gorgeous and fun murals. "It's just a beginning," creative director James P. Quinn said.
I visited the site today, and was so happy to see that street art in LIC is still thriving. It inspired me to do something I've been thinking about for a while... create a tour of Long Island City, focused around its street art scene. That will be added to this site very soon. I love this neighborhood in general, and think it's a great way to introduce people to the very underrated borough of Queens.
Here is a slideshow of some of my photos from today's exploration.
Know anyone interested in this type of tour? Please spread the word!

Depending on the outlet emission constraints for your site, a standalone Biofilter or a multistage process can be supplied, to provide a process which is simple to operate and maintain, removing any requirement for chemical dosing & storage.
Biofilter technology is usually selected when the odorous air stream has a range of lower level organic compounds and water soluble VOC's. The odorous air passes through a moist bed of organic biodegradable media, which acts as a host for a layer of biofilm. Microorganisms, bacteria and fungi populate the biofilm and degrade the odorous compounds, significantly reducing the level of odorous compounds in the exhausted air.

Q: Rank students based on score I would like to ask how do i achieve the following result by applying comparator to it:
Input:
4     //the number of student in this class list
Student1 200 //[name] [score]
Student2 200
Student3 100
Student4 300
Output:
Student1 2 //[name] [rank]
Student2 2
Student3 4
Student4 1
*student obtaining the same score will be at the same rank
`
public class Ranking {
    private void run() {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        int number = sc.nextInt();
        Student [] studentArray = new Student [number];

    for(int i=0;i<number;i++){
        String name = sc.next();
        int score = sc.nextInt();
        studentArray [i] = new Student(name, score, 0);
    }

    getRanks(number, studentArray);

    for(Student s: studentArray){
        System.out.println(s);
    }
}

public void getRanks(int number, Student [] studentArray){
    int ranking = 1;
    studentArray[0].setRank(ranking);
    for(int i = 1; i<number; i++){
        if(studentArray[i].getScore() != studentArray[i-1].getScore()){
            ranking ++;
            studentArray[i].setRank(ranking);
        }
    }
}

`

A: Why not convert you array to a List and then run
Collections.sort(studentList, new Comparator<Student>() {
    public int compare(Student a, Student b) {
        return a.getScore() - b.getScore();
    }
});

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Collections.html#sort(java.util.List,%20java.util.Comparator)
After that the index of any Student in that list would determine  it's rank.
You may clean the rank by looping through the List and associate the rank to each Student directly, not incrementing it if the last score is equal to the current.
int lastScore = -1;
int rank = studentList.size() + 1;
for(Student s : studentList) {
    if(s.getScore() > lastScore) {
        rank—;
    }
    s.setRank(rank);
    lastScore = s.getScore();
}

UPDATE:
To set the rank according to the index of the Student in the List:
int lastScore = -1;
int rank = studentList.size() + 1;
int displayRank = rank;
for(Student s : studentList) {
    rank—;
    if(s.getScore() > lastScore) {
        displayRank = rank;
    }
    s.setRank(displayRank);
    lastScore = s.getScore();
}

A: public class Ranking {
    private void run() {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        int number = sc.nextInt();
        Student [] studentArray = new Student [number];

    for(int i=0;i<number;i++){
        String name = sc.next();
        int score = sc.nextInt();
        studentArray [i] = new Student(name, score, 0);
    }

    getRanks(number, studentArray);

    for(Student s: studentArray){
        System.out.println(s);
    }
}

public void getRanks(int number, Student [] studentArray){
    List<Student> studentList = Arrays.asList(studentArray);

    Comparator<Student> comparator = new Comparator<Student>() {
        public int compare(Student student1, Student student2) {
           // for descending order
            return student2.getScore() - student1.getScore();
        }
    };
    Collections.sort(studentList, comparator);

    int ranking = 1, displayRanking = 1;
    studentList.get(0).setRank(displayRanking);
    for(int i = 1; i<number; i++){
        ranking++;
        if(studentList.get(i).getScore() > studentList.get(i - 1).getScore()){
            displayRanking = ranking;
        }
        studentList.get(i).setRank(displayRanking);
    }
    for(int i = 0; i<number; i++){
        int index = sortedList.indexOf(studentArray[i]);
        studentArray[i].setRank(sortedList.get(index).getRank);
    }

Analyst Downgrades: Verizon, Coach Inc, and AK Steel
Analysts downwardly revised their ratings on VZ, COH, and AKS
Andrea Kramer
Analysts are weighing in today on blue chip Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ), luxury retailer Coach Inc (NYSE:COH), and commodities concern AK Steel Holding Corporation (NYSE:AKS). Here's a quick roundup of today's bearish brokerage notes on VZ, COH, and AKS.
VZ is down 4.2% at $46.87, after the firm warned that wireless price cuts and promotional offers would put "short-term pressure" on its current-quarter earnings. The stock was subsequently downgraded to "neutral" from "outperform" at Baird, which also trimmed its price target to $50 from $54. In the same vein, Cowen and Company and Macquarie cut their respective price targets to $51 and $46, and both maintained the equivalent of "neutral" ratings. On the charts, Verizon Communications Inc. is now 4.6% south of its year-to-date breakeven level, and could be vulnerable to more analyst backlash; 19 out of 24 brokerage firms maintain "buy" or better opinions.
UBS trimmed its price target on COH by $1 to $34, and held its "neutral" rating. Most analysts are wary of Coach Inc, which sports just six "buy" or better endorsements, compared to 12 "holds" and two "sell" or worse recommendations. Technically speaking, it's not difficult to see why Wall Street is skeptical, as COH has surrendered roughly 40% in 2014, and was last seen 1% lower at $33.70. The shares have spent the past few months testing their mettle atop the $32-$33 region, with rebound attempts halted by their 20- and 32-week moving averages.
Finally, AKS initially dipped after Cowen and Company reduced its price target to $10 from $11, but the stock has since bounced back, adding 0.8% to flirt with $5.40. Longer term, the security has shed well over one-third of its value year-to-date, and has underperformed the broader S&P 500 Index (SPX) by about 44 percentage points during the past three months. It's not surprising, then, to find just three out of 11 analysts consider AK Steel Holding Corporation a "strong buy," and that short interest accounts for more than 30% of the stock's float.

Last Untouched Ford GT40 Roadster Won't Last On Used Market
15 August 2017 - motor1
It's the first Ford GT40 roadster ever built, and it's for sale.
The new Ford GT delivers 647 horsepower (482 kilowatts) and comes with a whopping price tag of $500,000 – but not even it can compare to the significance of the vehicle pictured here. This is the first Ford GT40 Roadster ever built, and the last one to remain completely original from the factory. Now it's up for sale.
Available through Classic Driver by way of Girardo & Co., the 1965 GT40 wears an off-white paint job with an appropriate set of blue racing stripes down the middle. It's one of just six roadster prototypes ever built, and the only example that has kept its originality, including its original 4.2-liter V8. It was driven by F1 world champion Jim Clark, and inspected and documented by GT40 expert Ronnie Spain, further cementing its heritage.
Assembly of the GT40 in question kicked off on November 2nd, 1964. It wears the chassis number 108 opposed to the "P" designation found on most production models, and is one of just 12 early prototypes to do so. The chassis is made entirely out of steel, and completed construction in March of 1965.
Along with the off-white and blue exterior, the GT40 wears a set of Borrani wire wheels, 6.5 inches at the front, and eight inches at the rear, wrapped in Goodyear racing tires. The car was tested extensively at Silverstone circuit following its completion, driven by Sir John Whitmore, 1961 British Touring Car champion, and Richard 'Dickie' Attwood, a 1970 Le Mans winner.
The car was later handed over to Shelby American for a few minor repairs, and specifically noted to be used for "temporary importation for test purposes." Eventually the GT40 was brought into the U.S. on a full time basis, and used extensively on the show circuit, making its debut at events like the South Course Concours d'Elegance in Newport Beach, California, and the Detroit Auto Show.
The car was sold in 1969 to its first private owner, George Sawyer of Detroit, and changed hands a number of times following. The GT40 was eventually taken into ownership by John McCaws in 1989, who set about commissioning a substantial mechanical refresh, as well as an inspection by Ronnie Spain. Now, the car is looking to change hands once again. The seller, Girardo & Co., doesn't list a price on its website, but as the old saying goes, if you have to ask...

Freeman Technology and Particle Technology Labs collaboration takes powder characterization service to new levels
A specialist team of analysts has been introduced to manage the growing workload generated by increased uptake of the powder characterization service offered by Particle Technology Labs Ltd (PTL) (Chicago, US). The service, which is built around the use of the Freeman Technology FT4 Powder Rheometer, was introduced at Pittcon in 2005. It has been fully operational for more than two years and demand has increased significantly this year. Since the inception of the service a wide range of industrial powders has been tested, including ceramics, cement and pharmaceutical materials.
PTL is an established laboratory that is highly experienced in the characterization of fine particles. The powder characterization service was established in response to a growing demand from clients who wanted more information about the flow properties of their powders.
Bill Kopesky, Laboratory Manager at PTL confirmed the benefits that their clients are seeing. "Using the FT4 we undertake a series of flowability studies with the dynamic testing regimes available on the instrument. We also use it for shear testing where required. If two powders behave differently, or a powder's behaviour changes, then we can really start to examine the differences," he said. "Clients have, for example, been able to use the data we generate to allow them to change a formulation, and clearly monitor the results. People tend to be very impressed at the degree of sensitivity that can be achieved in showing differences between powders."
The lab also acts as a reference site in North America for the FT4 and operates the powder characterization service in close conjunction with Freeman Technology. The powder processing experience and expertise of the Freeman team provides additional support on data interpretation and in relating results back to real-world processing situations.
