We sold our Honda Civic to a really nice young couple from Holon. They got a bargain; we got way more than we would have gotten as a trade-in. The dealer gave us an extra discount and even managed to get the car in the gorgeous color I really wanted. A win-win situation for everyone.
And as I await my new car, I'm astounded not by the details of this wonderful car — the automatic windshield wipers… doesn't that sound cool?… the multimedia system and reverse camera… the automatic lights… no, that's all good.
What's bad was what it took to sell the Honda. I'm not talking about the fact that the Honda dealer offered us the lowest trade-in value, thereby convincing us to abandon Hondas. Hello again, Mistubishi!
I'm not talking about the people who called and tried to bargain down the price of a car they couldn't be bothered even seeing. Or the ones that came to see it and made me wonder if they were going to try stealing it.
All that is standard and expected in a country where bargaining is often considered a fine art.
What was bad was that the sweet couple who bought the car were afraid to come see it. Jerusalem was the end of the world to them. Maale Adumim? Oh my God, no.
We spoke to the young man who had just totaled his previous Honda and really wanted to buy ours. "Maale Adumim?" he said with obvious hesitation in his voice. "Could you bring the car to Holon?" Um… no.
"Is it safe?" Yes, I assured him – safer than Holon or Ramla, that's for sure.
"Do you have to drive through any Arab villages?" Only if you take a wrong turn, I told him. And then explained that there are two main highways into Jerusalem on the west side. Route One and Route 443.
"If you're scared, so take Route 1," I said. Though I admit, I struggled to keep the disdain out of my voice on that one.
"Is it dark on the road?" Only if you drive with your eyes closed. He didn't get the joke. No, I said. Regular wide highways. Lights. How utterly modern we are on this side of the country!
We are 5 kilometers from Jerusalem, I told him. And still he was afraid to come here at night. "Do you drive there at night?" Almost every day, I answered.
We finally got him here — once to say he wanted the car; once to bring payment. And after coming here twice, it still took us another 30 minutes on the phone to convince him to come here to Maale Adumim to get the car and complete the ownership transfer. He wanted to meet us in Jerusalem. We're just FIVE kilometers away, I told him — with all the convenience of the bank and post office with no lines.
"Have you ever gone to the Dead Sea?" I asked him at one point.
We are on the SAME road. You pass our city every time you go there. The only difference is that instead of going to the left, you make a right, go up the hill and enter the city. It's the same thing.
With the car deal done, I'm left with this sad feeling that I've encountered before. Jerusalem is our capital and yet whole sections of Israelis rarely come visit. It's almost as if they think they have to physically walk up the hill and it's too much for them.
And by contrast, there is almost nowhere in Israel I won't go — even into Arab villages. At least that was true before the government made it illegal because of the danger. I have been in the north during a katyusha attack; I have been in the south during a Color Red. I used to shop in Kfar Kassem and the small shops that used to be on the road to Ariel before they redirected the main road so that we didn't have to travel that way.
Years ago, someone from Kfar Saba asked me for a ride to Jerusalem. I told him he was welcome to come along but I was taking Route 443. This was when Modiin was tiny and bombs were exploding on buses in Tel Aviv, Kfar Sava, and Netanya. Route 443 was the road much less traveled.
He agreed because he really didn't want to take a bus and then spent much of the ride in what looked like fervent prayer. I thought he was going to kiss the ground when we arrived in Jerusalem and I smiled quietly when he called his wife to assure her he'd arrived safely.
I drove into Gush Katif on the day before it was given to the Palestinians. I went in alone to learn the fate of a caravan synagogue that the Prime Minister's Office had promised would be brought to Maale Adumim and came out alone and devastated because the bulldozers had destroyed it.
I'll drive at 2:00 in the afternoon as easily as I'll drive at 2:00 in the morning and the only time I remember feeling any fear was when a soldier stopped me and asked me what I was doing there at his checkpoint.
Once or twice I have worried that an Arab would throw a rock at my car; once a Bedouin did. I kept driving, called the police and that was that. I drive the same road whenever I am in the area.
I do it because long ago, I promised myself that I left fear behind when I moved to Israel. In the US, as a woman, I was afraid to go out at night. We were instructed how to park our cars (not near a van, under a light). We were told how to have the key in our hand, ready to defend ourselves if needed.
Four years living in Manhattan had convinced me that women didn't walk those streets alone at night and even during the day, you walked it while focusing on everything all around you. You drove with your windows up and your doors locked.
My dorm windows were barred and locked. And if in the suburbs where we lived the windows weren't barred, the doors certainly were locked.
Who wants to live that way? I thought then and still think now. My children are free here and have been since we moved to Israel.
Many years ago, we found ourselves staying with our children in an apartment on the northern border. The kids were sitting on the couch; my husband was outside barbecuing and I heard two explosions. I ran outside to him, knowing with some inborn sense that katyushas had been fired nearby. As it turned out, we were close enough to the Lebanese border to have heard the outgoing explosion as well as the incoming one that indicated a direct hit on Kiryat Shemona.
We spent the night in a secure area and in the morning, the army declared the all clear. No further rockets were expected. People were urged to return to normal and yet thousands of Israelis flooded the roads to abandon their northern vacation and return to their homes in the central/southern regions. One of my sons begged us to go home and as I listened to him I knew that fear could win. And if we let it win then, it might always conquer them in the future.
And we did. We made it a fantastic family vacation – made even better by the fact that so many had left and we had fewer lines on which to wait. We were hailed as heroes by the local population simply because we stayed. We got discounts and smiles and everywhere we were showered with love and gratitude.
I like to think I taught my children something on that vacation. This is our land, our home. Fear can defeat you, or you can defeat fear.
From Metulla to Eilat, from the river to the sea, Israel is home. If you haven't been in Jerusalem (or Maale Adumim) recently, it's a shame. And if the reason for that is that you are afraid to come here, that is shameful.
The weather is beautiful; the winter flowers are still blooming. The Judean Desert has a light coating of green from the winter rains that will only last a few more weeks.
If you are afraid to drive here, you are surrendering to fear and letting our enemies win. I can understand not driving INTO Jericho, but the road along side it is safe and leads to some of Israel's most famous sites – the Dead Sea and Masada, beautiful wadis, Ein Gedi, and hours down the road, to Eilat and to Maale Adumim, perched on the hills just to the east of Jerusalem. It is every bit as safe as Tel Aviv and likely much safer.
I can understand not driving into Kalkilya but the road near it offers an amazing view. Fine, stay out of Jenin and Ramallah, but don't surrender so much of our land out of fear.
I often see people write about how they are going meat-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, whatever. But what about fear-free?
I have lived the last 20 years almost entirely fear-free. All the world is a narrow bridge, suggests a popular song, and the most important thing is not to be afraid. To get a good deal, the young couple came to Maale Adumim three times in one week. They drove away this morning with a fantastic car; I'm hoping they also drove away with less fear.
As for me, I can't wait to get my new car. And as soon as I have it – I'll drive every road in this country, see all I can see. I won't let fear win in my country. I won't let anyone drive me out or away from every corner of my land.
If you are afraid of the dark — open your eyes. If you are afraid of Arabs, don't enter their villages. If you are afraid of Jerusalem — come visit it and leave your fear behind.
The flowers are blooming in our land…Jerusalem, the eternal, united capital of Israel awaits you… and so does Maale Adumim, which proudly guards Jerusalem from the east.

Q: Property of continuous functions regarding maximum Claim 1: If $f: [a, b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is continuous, then $f$ assumes a maximum value
I know there's a theorem that states if $f$ is a continuous real-valued function on a closed interval $[a, b]$, then $f$ is a bounded function. And $f$ assumes its max and min values on $[a, b]$.
Going back to the claim, it doesn't state that $f$ is necessarily bounded. (I understood it as $x$ are bounded, i.e., $a \leq x \leq b$, but $f(x)$ is not necessarily bounded? Since $f(x) \in \mathbb{R}$, for $a \leq x \leq b$). So I think it is false. And my counterexample is $f(x) = tan(x)$ where $-\frac{\pi}{2} \leq x \leq \frac{\pi}{2}$. Although $f: [a, b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is continuous, it is not bounded, so it does not assume a maximum value. Is my logic correct?
Claim 2: If $f: [a, b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ assumes a maximum, then $f$ is continuous.
I feel like this is not necessarily true, either? Since a function might have a jump discontinuity and that point might be the max, but the function is not continuous. Would this be correct?

A: Claim 1 is the Extreme value theorem by Weierstrass.
Claim 2 is false.
Easy example:
$$ f [0,1] \to  \mathbb{R} , f(x) = \begin{cases}
x & x \neq 1 \\
10 & x=1 \\
\end{cases}  $$
has a maximum ( $\max(f)=10$ ), but is not continous in $x=1$

Senators say changes are needed to sex offender program
Some Minnesota lawmakers are searching for answers about what to do with the state's endangered sex offender treatment program.
Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee met on Monday in St. Paul. The committee's chairman Sen. Ron Latz said if lawmakers don't reform the program a judge could do it for them.
Latz urged lawmakers to take quick action to avoid a judge finding the program unconstitutional. The Associated Press reports that other lawmakers also said such a ruling could result in the sudden release of sex offenders the state has kept in custody because of concerns those individuals still represent a threat to re-offend.
At issue, is the state's civil commitment law. It allows the state to continue to hold offenders, even though they have completed court-ordered prison sentences and treatment. Shortly before an offender is to have completed their sentence, Minnesota law allows for a judge to order the offender held in a facility that is aimed at rehabilitating them.
Some offenders allege that confinement violates their constitutional rights because it amounts to a de-facto life sentence. During the sex offender program's 19-year history, only one offender has been released.
State senators on the Judiciary Committee are delving into the details and history of the state's practice of indefinitely holding sex offenders – currently, nearly 700 of them – locked at two facilities in Moose Lake and St. Peter.
Last year, a federal judge ruled that an offenders' challenge to Minnesota's sex offender program could move forward as a class action suit.
The program has been in the news because of the recent hot-button case of Thomas Duvall. Duvall, 58, is accused of attacking at least 60 women and was convicted of raping a 17-year-old Brooklyn Park girl at knifepoint in 1987. A special state review board in August determined that Duvall had shown enough progress in treatment to have earned a recommendation to a panel of judges that he receive a provisional release. The judges are scheduled to review the case in April.
But Attorney General Lori Swanson objected. Gov. Mark Dayton has directed the state Department of Human Services to oppose any future recommendations that sex offenders be released, at least for now. Dayton ordered lawmakers to seek solutions.
The state Senate panel is meeting at the Capitol in St. Paul Monday morning.
Meanwhile, a state panel that has been examining the issue is planning next month to recommend dramatic changes to the program, including the provisional release of some offenders.

Exclusive: Mobile apps & games developer Robosoft raises $12M from Ascent, Kalaari
Raghuvir Badrinath	17 Apr, 2015
Robosoft Technologies Pvt Ltd, a third party mobile app developer as well as publisher of its own mobile games, has raised $12 million (Rs 75 crore) in what is a Series B round led by private equity firm Ascent Capital. The round also saw existing investor Kalaari Capital bring in more money, a top company executive told Techcircle.in.
Multi-stage investor Ascent Capital put in $10 million, while Kalaari put in the rest. Kalaari had put in $4 million in Robosoft in its Series A round two years ago.
Udupi-based Robosoft has three business lines. While the main company is a third party designer and developer of apps, its unit 99Games is a developer of mobile games. 99Games has published its own games like Star Chef as well as licensed products such as mobile game for Dhoom 3, a Bollywood movie released in December 2013. The other business Global Delight is into audio & video domain apps.
Robosoft claims it has partnered with various global brands and has built over 1,400 apps, across platforms in consumer mobility, enterprise mobility and games & entertainment segments.
99Games Online Pvt Ltd and Global Delight Technologies Pvt Ltd are subsidiaries of Robosoft.
For the year ended March 31, 2014, the three firms together had revenues of Rs 30 crore with net loss of Rs 24.3 crore, as per VCCEdge, the data research platform of VCCircle. Bulk of the revenues were generated by Robosoft itself.
The firm was started way back in 1996 as a games developer for desktops, but later adapted to mobile devices during 2008.
With the fresh funding, Robosoft is also restructuring itself into three separate companies with 99Games and Global Delight being hived off.
The deal structuring stands undisclosed, but it is expected to involve both the investors holding a stake in all the three firms.
Rohith Bhat, CEO & managing director, Robosoft Technologies, told Techcircle.in, "It will help us invest in products drive user acquisition and double down on our offerings."
Robosoft plans to build near-shore capability in the US, Europe and Middle East with these investments.
"While the company has been traditionally strong in consumer mobility and gaming, we intend to strengthen our enterprise mobility practice too," Bhat added.
The company currently employs 450 professionals, with majority of them housed in Udupi, a coastal town in Karnataka.
Raja Kumar, founder & managing director, Ascent Capital, said, "Clearly going forward, mobility will redefine the way we work and play. Robosoft has successfully demonstrated that an Indian company can create globally acclaimed mobile applications and games."
Bhat explained that 99Games will be expanding on its two-pronged strategy: building games through licensed IPs (largely for the Indian market) and creating its own IPs for a global audience.
"The immediate focus would be around driving user-acquisition focused marketing campaigns for Star Chef, the latest hit game from 99Games. Star Chef is growing over 30 per cent month-on-month in terms of monthly active users as well as monetisation," he added.
Star Chef is available on Apple's iOS platform.
Meanwhile, as per its website 99Games has 15 games under its belt (including licensed IP franchise such as Dhoom 3:The Game, which has over 5 million downloads on Android) with 500,000 paid downloads and 20 million free downloads. 99Games was the smallest of the three businesses of Robosoft in FY14 in terms of revenues.
Global Delight, the third business, has developed products such as Camera Plus (over 27 million downloads), Game Your Video and Boom (a system-wide audio enhancer for Mac).
"The new round of investments will go behind expanding to the Android platform, user acquisition and taking our current crop of products to the next level in innovation," Bhat added.

HERSHEY, PA – Stan Galiev, the sometimes dynamic Russian whose hockey career in North America had more twists and turns than an old country road, just got sucker punched again – this time by the KHL.
Galiev, as we have often noted, struggled mightily to make it to the NHL and once he did, there was precious little ice time. As his contract with the Capitals expired, word came that he was planning to return home to the KHL (this after rumors that he asked to be traded before the trade deadline failed to lead to him landing with a different club). Last week, it was reported that he had plenty of KHL offers, but it appears that life has once again found a way to best Galiev.
On Tuesday (ironically, our Independence Day), the KHL officially took action against Dynamo Moscow since the team had not been meeting its financial obligations to the players. In all, 42 players, who had been part of the team, were told they were unrestricted free agents.
It is unclear why Galiev would sign with Dynamo – certainly the debt problem was well-known. Oddly, the move that was supposed to salvage his career has left him "homeless" once again.
Galiev's deal is the the "old" Dynamo legal entity. He can't be paid, can't practice with any other teams, can't leave for the NHL. Limbo.
We will continue to monitor this developing situation closely and report any new information as it becomes available. For now, it appears as though Galiev is once again in limbo. If we've learned anything from his career to date it is that he's probably getting pretty used to these things.
As strange as it may seem, the situation keeps getting a bit odder. Galiev apparently does not have an agreement with Dynamo (before or after the KHL stepped in), but they still own the rights to him from before he began playing in North America.
A clarification on the Galiev (ex-#Caps) situation. He doesn't have a deal with Dynamo. The club owns his rights, though. Still in limbo.
At this point, Galiev has not signed with a team in the KHL and is unable to do so at this time. It is unclear why his rights with the "Old Dynamo" entity did not transfer or get cancelled. Galiev was one of a handful of players whose situation was not addressed by the KHL Disciplinary Committee.
Yes, they have been holding his KHL rights since he came to NA. He can't sign with another KHL team until this gets resolved.

Southampton, Greater Cambridge, Liverpool City Region and the London Borough of Tower Hamlets have joined Bike Life – a partnership project run by the walking and cycling charity Sustrans – which is designed to help UK cities normalise cycling.
Additionally, Bike Life in Birmingham, which launched in 2014, will expand to cover the West Midlands.
The local authorities in each region and city will be working with Sustrans to produce reports capturing data on infrastructure, travel habits, public attitudes and the impact of cycling, due to be published in 2020 and 2022.
The Scottish Government has taken the lead in funding Bike Life in Scottish cities outside Edinburgh. Sustrans Scotland will work with Glasgow, Perth and Stirling to deliver respective Bike Life reports, due out in November 2018.
In total 14 cities and regions are due to participate in the project between 2018 and 2022. Collectively they cover almost 14 million people or 20% of the entire UK population.
Bike Life was founded in 2014 in seven major UK cities to help local authorities build the case for cycling and inform planning at a local level whilst shaping the political and funding landscape for active travel across the UK.
Bike Life has been used to develop cycling strategies, justify investment and delivery of schemes, support air quality plans, and demonstrate the benefits of cycling in cities for residents. Most recently the Greater Manchester Combined Authority used evidence from Bike Life to demonstrate public support for a bold new strategy for cycling. This has already paved the way for an investment of £160m for active travel.
Xavier Brice, Sustrans' CEO, said: "Bike Life has demonstrated how it is an important tool to help encourage both political support and practical delivery of cycling in our cities. We are excited to be rolling this out to new cities across the UK.
"Delivering better infrastructure for cycling is key to keeping our cities moving, and improving health and economic vitality. It is fantastic to see local authorities have the appetite for change.
"Bike Life shows that people in cities across the UK understand the benefits of cycling and want better provision, including protected space. We need both national and local governments to rise to this challenge and make our cities more active and liveable".
"I'm delighted that Greater Cambridge has been successful in joining the Sustrans Bike Life project.
"We are delighted to be the first London borough to work with Bike Life to build the case for additional cycling strategies and innovative alternatives to car use.
Bike Life mirrors the Copenhagen Bicycle Account which outlines the development in cycling, identifies challenges and informs planning.
The Danish capital of Copenhagen is the most bicycle-friendly city in the world. The Government has invested over £35 per head each year on cycling and a network of segregated cycle routes on almost all main roads and bridges across the city since 2004. In 2016, 41% of trips to work and education in the city were made by bike and 76% of Copenhagener's feel secure when cycling (Copenhagen Bike Account, 2016. Copenhagen City of Cyclists).
Currently, there's a huge variation in active travel spending across the UK and many cities are facing a significant fall in funding.
The expansion of Bike Life in England is funded by the Freshfield Foundation and the cities and regions themselves. For more information and respective city Bike Life reports visit www.sustrans.org.uk/bikelife.
Bike Life is funded by the Freshfield Foundation and the eleven cities and regions participating in the project: Belfast, Bristol, Greater Cambridge, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Greater Manchester, Southampton, Tower Hamlets, Newcastle, Liverpool City Region, and the West Midlands.
Bike Life reports every two years on infrastructure, travel habits, satisfaction and the impact of cycling more widely. The information comes from local data, modelling and an independent survey with a representative sample of around 1,100 residents aged 16+ in each city.
Bike Life found in 2017 that four out of five people (78%) want more protected bike routes on roads built to make cycling safer, even when this could mean less space for other road traffic. Over two-thirds (69%) say more cycling would make their city a better place to live and work.

From this month, I started to use Amazon Web Service to build development environment. I feel it is quite professional service and easy to scale out server environment. If you have some experience to manage server in data center, I trust you have same feeling and will be amazed by their services.
And it makes good opportunity for all startups to prepare server without big investment and enough engineer.
So I would like to learn how to utilize AWS continually.

Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
An ominously worded new Ministry of Defense (MoD) report circulating in the Kremlin today detailing the first in history meeting earlier today between Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu and US Secretary of Defense James Mattis states that US National Security Advisor John Bolton will arrive in Moscow this week to officially inform President Putin that President Trump is going to end the Cold War-era Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty—that comes at the same time Russia has dramatically boosted its spending on nuclear weapons as it prepares for new attacks in the aftermath of the 2018 Midterm Election—and which shows Trump fearing that the United States might not survive a growing leftist revolution Hillary Clinton's running mate Democrat Party US Senator Time Kaine has now called mobs into the streets to defend, and whose radical forces Republican Party US House Leader Steve Scalise now warns are being paid by George Soros who has taken over the Democrat Party—and whose last defense against now sees the Republican Party putting out warning videos before all is lost, with their being joined by ordinary American citizens warning of this grave danger, too. [Note: Some words and/or phrases appearing in quotes in this report are English language approximations of Russian words/phrases having no exact counterpart.]
Ordinary American citizens deface movie billboard to warn of radical leftist Democrat Party mob terror
According to this report, as President Trump steams toward the most critical election in modern American history, due to occur on 6 November, he is being radically confronted by a Democrat Party whose majority of now prefers communist-socialism to capitalism—most especially its younger members who are weekly bombarded with communist propaganda—such as from the popular Teen Vogue Magazine that that publishes articles praising the founder of communism Karl Marx, has started a social media campaign called "Can't #EndPoverty Without Ending Capitalism!", and, just days ago, published an article titled "What 'Capitalism' Is and How It Affects People" that says capitalism must be destroyed so that a much more desirable system of communist-socialism can be imposed by force upon the American people.
With Russia having banned the worst vestiges of communist-socialism from society after being freed from these demonic monsters, like Germany had done in banning both Nazi and communist symbols, this report continues, the American people enjoy free speech protections that have allowed communist-socialist ideology to infect every strata of their society—that was exploited by both the Clinton and Obama regimes who poured into the US government untold tens-of-thousands of radical leftist agitators to bring down their nations government from within.
Evidence as to how catastrophically embedded into the US government these radical leftists are, this report notes, were reveled this past week to have now reached to President Trump and his family—and as evidenced by the discovery that a radical leftist drug addict holding the highest level security clearance was working on Trump's US Marine One helicopter, and whose communist comrades nearly exploded the plane carrying First Lady Melania Trump—were discovered leaking to the leftist mainstream propaganda media secret documents—but all of whom radical leftist leader Eric Holder, Obama's Attorney General, is now urging to stay hidden in the US government telling them "We will come".
US mainstream propaganda media keeps silent about sabotage of plane carrying First Lady Melania Trump
In yet another example of how these radical leftist forces in America are trying to destroy President Trump, this report details, the "Deep State" filed charges this past week against St. Petersburg resident Elena Alekseevna Khusyanova alleging that she was interfering in the 2018 Midterm Election—who works for the Russian company Concord Management that these radical leftists had, likewise, filed a joke indictment against earlier this year—with the American people not being told that these charges are a "made up crime" that caused even US Federal Judge Dabney Friedrich, this past week, to order these "Deep State" prosecutors to show her evidence of what laws were broken by 23 October or she'd throw these cases out.
To anyone wanting to know who is really interfering in the 2018 Midterm Election, though, this report explains, they should look away from Russia and set their gazes on California—where they'd find the radical leftist "Deep State" aligned tech giant Facebook—whose new analysis shows they have given a 7.8 million advantage for Facebook interactions for Democrat Senate candidates vs. Republican Senate candidates in a 30-day period ending 15 October, and a 2 million advantage in interactions for Democrats fighting House races over the same period—while during this same time, they have purged over 800 accounts supporting Trump—including their banning multiple pages belonging Trump supporter to Brian Kolfage, a US Air Force veteran and triple amputee war hero who had invested $300,000 in ads for his pages that Facebook itself suggested, and who relied on the site for income to support his wife and little children.
Facebook destroys the life of American war hero Brian Kolfage (above with daughter), who lost three limbs in combat, because he dared to support President Trump.
To why the radical leftist "Deep State" aligned Facebook had to destroy American war hero Brian Kolfage, and all others supporting President Trump, this report says, is due to shocking new 2018 Midterm Election data showing that only 95 of the 435 US House races are considered competitive—with 20 of them being the key remaining competitive races now classified as election day toss-ups—19 of which are currently held by a Republican, and only one currently held by a Democrat—and whose outcome will determine the very fate of the United States.
To who will be deciding the fate of America in the 2018 Midterm Election, this report notes, new data further shows that while a record number of people voted in the 2016 presidential elections—137.5 million—it still only accounted for 61.4 percent of the voting-age population—with the numbers being much worse for midterms where in 2014, for instance, 15 of the first 25 statewide primary elections reported record-low voter turnouts, and nationwide, only 36.4 percent of all eligible voters voted—and of whom only 41.4 percent of registered voters with family incomes of under $10,000 voted, while 80.3 percent of those with family incomes of $150,000 or more voted—thus giving these radical leftists no assurance that their nations most poorest peoples will aid them in overthrowing President Trump.
Further sending these radical leftists into panic as this critical election nears, this report explains, are the massive numbers of Americans changing their political party affiliation—like in Wyoming where 12,000 have switched what party they belong to, 90% of whom choose Republican—who are being joined by hundreds of prominent black conservatives now spreading out across the United States to aid President Trump, and whose efforts have already seen Trump's support among black voters reaching the stunning number of 20%.

As to what is uniting the forces against these radical leftists, this report further details, is President Trump himself—who, this past week alone, had what was described as a "jaw dropping" number of his supporters lining up in the cold to see him Montana, many of whom abandoned their cars in a rush to see him—with this scene being played out in Arizona where a massive crowd numbering in the tens-of-thousands stood in miles long lines to see him, too.
Upon radical leftist former Democrat Party US Senator from California Barbara Boxer hearing about these masses of Americans flooding by the tens-of-thousands to see President Trump, this report concludes, she angrily lashed out them proclaiming "It's another horrifying moment. But, you know, I don't—I can't blame the president for everything. These are people there that are applauding this. What are they thinking?"—but who, like all communist-socialists never understanding human emotion, completely failed to understand that Trump's infectious humor makes sure "his jokes always land", and whose peoples love him for it—and whose most astounding verbal coup de grâce (death blow) delivered against these Democrats as this crucial election nears are as simple as they are powerful—"Jobs, Not Mobs!"—that were given to him by one of his closest confidants Scott Adams who, also, explained to these humorless radical leftists why they are about to see the greatest turnout of Republicans for Trump maybe in all of US history:
My hypothesis is that humans are primed by whatever they've already seen. So if they've seen a pattern, they've already fallen into it.
And one of the patterns Republicans enjoyed in 2016 was having the other side be surprised.
And they really enjoyed it — I'm talking about the kind of joy you can talk about over the course of your lifetime.
And the Republican personality — I realize this is a gross generalization — is that it's not always about the talk, it's about the showing up.
Republicans are going to show up.
And they're driven by all the things people are talking about, but you cannot underestimate the fun, either.
How many President Trump supporting Republicans do you think would love to see a repeat of the night of the 2016 election when the left lost its collective mind?

Bar Exam: KB – His Glory Alone (First Listen Album Review)
It's been three years since we've had an album from KB. I'm really stoked to hear what he's been cookin' up, and while I feel like we can always expect something nice to come from anything he creates, I'm ready to dive in and take a closer look.
For those of you unfamiliar with my bar exams, I am sharing all of my notes from my true first listen to the project. I provide in-depth thoughts and commentary on anything from flows, rhymes, beats, creative direction, track placement, and concepts.
Let It Reign – Starts with a chipmunk sample of Michael W. Smith. "Open the floodgates of heaven." The intro is huge and epic. "We see the dead raised here, another day at the office" He's effortlessly moving back and forth between flows and melodies over the top of a beat that sounds like Rocky taking the ring. Bizzle with the feature here. This song doesn't let up.
Lil Boy – Sounds like a Lecrae tune. He wants men to live with integrity and high character. I thought it started out with a hook and then got into a verse, but I'm not sure there's a hook here, just a tag he keeps going back to. It's another big and heavy track.
10K – Not gonna lie, I was never really a fan of the song "10,000 reasons." But this version bangs. For real, with the beat big and the melody anthemic, KB is spazzing.
Peace, peace, Jesus, that's my creed, ooh, Michael B/ Yeah, He bossin', don't be a clown, boy, you're not it/
Worship in a mosh pit, I'm in His palm like the tropics/ Men and women get in it, they get it, then they live again/
Good and generous definitive, that's from the Genesis/ Unlimited, inhibited, look at all of these witnesses/
Give you the businesses, Satan bodied, homie, He finished it
This Is Life – We leave that worship sample to be introduced to another one. This one is "So Will I." I really dig how he hasn't let up yet. He's got something to say, and he's really leaning into the vocals whether he's spitting or singing. The bars come and go so quickly and everything is so sonically large it's hard for me to catch everything getting thrown at me. The beat is changing textures as it progresses, adding trumpets, and a wall of vocals at the end.
Armies – OK. This is just a worship album. This track is sampling Chris Tomlin's "God Of Angel Armies." There's a fire in the booth.
Life ain't been the same since death died/Won it by a landslide/hallelujah to the flex my/
The power made a point, next slide/Yeah, yeah, yeah, reppin' this side/
Shoes ain't Gucci, I just keep my foot on reptiles/Coming for my neck now/When the game about to end, you expect fouls
Chills, man. All gas no brakes here. It's impressive to choose to creatively go this direction and come at it as tough as he is. He's breathing life into these old praise songs, dusting them off, and holding them up for his audience to see like he's proud of them. It feels like the warm embrace needed in the middle of the divisiveness of this year.
Masterpiece – We've finally pulled it all the way back. We're in an empty concert hall and listening in on a session with KB, and a piano. It's a song for his daughter. She's a masterpiece. This song grows into a symphonic performance, then the beat drops in towards the end. I can't wait to play this one for my daughter.
Libre – I had to Google "Yo Soy Libre." It means "I am free." The beat has some room to it, with some strings plucking over the top. Deep South sound. Tommy Royale sounds dope. I don't know Spanish though. Makes me wish I did.
Yes Song – This is a deep cut for worship tunes. Vertical Church has been making great music for years though, and it's a great choice. The other worship tracks had a darker trap sound to them when this one is a tad more poppy. He's also a little more deep and emotional on this one.
"Let it all go dark round me/hand in my face I can't see/I have nothing left to bring/
God almighty please/You have my baby and you won't miscarry me/but it's so hard to believe."
Dark Skin – Starts out with an ominous tone. He's pontificating over the top of a piano with no beat. He's talking about someone trying to wash the black off of her body. The instrumental is shifting and growing as he digs in. He's getting political. "Ain't no left or right side in heaven." There was a lot that needed to be chewed on in this track, but it came and went so quickly. I'll have to go back later.
We Right Here – The gang vocals on "We Right Here" sound like he brought the army back from earlier. He's coming at the track with charisma and braggadocio because nothing can stop him. Another really big beat. "Life ain't been the same since the flesh died." He sorta repeated a line here, but I don't mind. I feel like all of these songs point to each other in some way. Just like that, right as I'm getting used to how a song sounds, it switches up for a moment, and then it's done.
Loyal Til The End – I love how these tracks haven't been formulaic. KB hasn't built any two songs the same way on this entire record and it's refreshing. Jon Keith is on the second verse and does his thing. He didn't just phone that in either, switched up the flow twice.
The Name – KB comes straight in at the top here. He's so good at knowing when to even change his tone to elevate the track. It would have sounded dope if he would have stayed low, but for that emotional boost, he raises the pitch slightly to keep the listener engaged. This one isn't a sample of a worship tune, it's got Koryn Hawthorne actually on it here.
Si Cancion – This is the Spanish version of "Yes Song."
To conclude, the themes that stood out in this album to me were worship and unity. There's nothing like giving your heart away in worship, and nothing promotes unity in the body of Christ better. That's a sentiment that all Christians can grab onto, but more than that, these tunes are actually ones that most would listen to anyway. This is probably the most complete album in KB's discography. He's got some hits elsewhere, but I never have felt like every song on each album fits with each other. He did a great job compiling all of these together.
However, the one anomaly I took notice of is how "Lil Boy" was a good track on its own, but I'm not sure it fits with the rest of the project theme-wise. Nonetheless, His Glory Alone is both an album I can proudly bump for my hip hop head friends, and my mom. It's a big feat to be able to live in both camps comfortably. This album is KB at his true self, sharing the highs and lows of his life and pointing to God through it all. A nearly perfect album. Go hit play on this and enjoy.
Overall Rating: Above The Bar

Lecrae Explains How Partnership with Love Beyond Walls Hand Washing Stations Changed the World
Way back in early last year we spoke to Lecrae on Community During Chaos. One of the things we spoke about was the impact of his partnership with Love Beyond Walls. Together they provided the city of Atlanta with handwashing stations for the homeless. From there, the organization exploded. "That thing changed the world!" Lecrae exclaimed. "People don't even realize that and I don't take no credit or nothing. I called my man Terence Lester [founder] because he's been dealing with people experiencing homelessness for years. What's going on around here…how can I be apart of it?" Lester said he […]
Afrobeat is the fastest growing sub-genre streaming right now. Its reggae and Afrocentric origin made it a perfect and seamless direction for Track Major to explore.

depend on your own sensory evaluations in a systematic manner.
Here is a little guide that will assist you in understanding the step by step process.
Before you begin, bear in mind that such experiences are subjective.
The first step is to get a clean, tulip shaped glass.
and a narrow lip (to catch the aromas). Whisky is often drunk from a crystal tumbler. However, the tulip shaped glass is better for nosing purposes.
Also, keep some water in a tumbler ready.
It is recommended to take notes when "tasting" a whisky as it might just become your go-to guide for future tastings.
For a genuine experience, do not to wear scent and do not smoke for half an hour before attempting this process.
Pour yourself a measure of whisky. Hold it against a white surface.
Whisky takes on the color depending on the the cask it is stored in and the length of time it has been aged in it for.
A pale-gold colour suggests maturation in a cask which has been refilled several times.
Mid Gold suggests a first-fill Bourbon cask.
Mahogany, a first-fill ex-sherry cask.
Crimson colour, a port cask.
Next, swirl the glass in a circular motion so that the sides are well coated. Don't spill any of the precious liquid!
'Legs'– long lines of the liquid – will form and run back down the glass. If the legs run quickly, then it's a light bodied, young whisky. If the legs appear thick and run slowly then it is an older whisky.
The human nose has roughly 400 types of scent receptors that can detect at least 1 trillion different odours.
Swirl the spirit, warm it in your hand and raise the glass to your nose to sniff the liquid.
The first nose will be a sharp burst of alcohol vapours.
Your initial impressions are the key ones.
Add a little water and see the difference yet again as flavors would be more prominent now.
Always remember, Nosing is an individual experience; your cinnamon might be someone's pineapple.
Take a good mouthful, hold it for a moment. As the whisky washes across your tongue, different parts of your palate will spring to life and all taste buds will start working.
Make sure to breathe in and out through your nose while rolling the whisky over your tongue and around your mouth. Notice its texture and mouth-feel.
Add water to the whisky. The water is said to help release hidden flavours by giving the molecules and natural oils more room to move around the glass.
Once again, remember, no two palates are alike, everyone's experience is different.
The finish is the length of time the flavour lingers after the sip; short, medium, long.
The aftertaste of very old whiskies can last for hours.
Hope you enjoyed the subtleties the dram had to offer.


With an MA in consciousness studies and his extensive training in hypnotherapy and alternative health, Peter Bedard has helped thousands of people overcome pain and the fearful shadow it has cast over their lives. Peter has a thriving one-on-one private practice, and he gives talks and workshops around the world. He lives in Los Angeles, California. His new book, Convergence Healing, is available from our sister company, Simon & Schuster.
Stop resisting! You're in pain. It is what it is. Take a moment to actually stop running from it and pause. Face your pain, give it a name even and embrace it. No more shoving it down and avoiding it. When you resist you only allow the pain to linger. The pain will wait patiently for you to deal with it for as long as you keep shoving it down. You may medicate it today but it will be back tomorrow and quite often it will be even stronger. Build a new relationship with your pain that is of acceptance and healthy boundaries.
We all know that healing is something that happens much more easily, sometimes even effortlessly when we feel loved. So, as crazy as it sounds, love your pain. It is part of you and this part of you that is suffering needs to be loved more than anything. Take a moment right now to send love to that part of you that is hurting. Most likely, you've been sending anger and frustration to it. Stop. Breathe. Be present with it as if they it has come to you needing comfort and attention. This alone can often create tremendous healing.
We spend so much time telling the part of us that is hurting what it needs to feel better. What if you actually asked it directly what it needs in order to heal? Our bodies are always communicating with us so why not learn to listen. As you do this, you will notice it being affected by your loving kindness.
So often we want to tell the part of us that is in pain how to heal. What if you simply stopped for a moment and actually asked the pain itself what it needs in order to heal? Healing must take place on all levels of who we are. Often, wounds of the heart and mind are more damaging than physical wounds so ask the part of you that is in pain what it needs from you to heal on all levels, body, mind, spirit.
Listen for the answers and when they come and act upon them immediately. This new way of communicating with your pain is an ongoing dialogue of love, respect, and action. Through these conversations you will begin to develop your own individual recipe for your healing.

The first auction in Case Antiques, Auctions & Appraisals' new facility on Saturday will be a bit like opening night of a play.
A play that lasts eight hours, attracts an audience from all over the world and is estimated to bring in $900,000 to $1.3 million.
The auction, beginning at 9 a.m., will be the heaviest trafficked in the world, according to owner and President John Case.
"We kind of think of ourselves like 'The Sotheby's of the South'" said Wray Williams, vice president of marketing and technology.
Case auction includes Southern decor

The auction house relocated to the 8,000-square-foot facility at 4310 Papermill in March. It's about 2,500 square feet larger than their former headquarters at Cherokee Mills.
Saturday's auction will include 879 lots, a typical amount for the larger winter and summer auctions. Williams estimated the average lot would go for $1,000 to $1,100. Wendell Hanson is the auctioneer.

"It won't be the most expensive (auction)," Case said. "New York or London will probably sell something for $1 million. But in terms of number of bidders, we watch our stats very closely. We are consistently the heaviest trafficked auction in the world the day we have it."
Case is an expert in Southern pottery and is passionate about late 18th and early 19th century Tennessee decorative arts. The auction will include much more than that though.
"We could go head to head with any major metropolitan area of the United States," Case said. "We had some incredible artisans here. Our passion has always been Tennessee and southern decorative arts. But there's not enough of that around to have an auction this big."
A Supreme Court connection

One exciting item is timely, given the ongoing process to confirm a new Supreme Court justice. Up for bid is a card table from former U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall's home.
The 18th Century game table comes from the Coleman family out of Chattanooga, descendants of Marshall's.
The table could bring in $1,000-$1,200.

A book from the same collection sold for record price in January. The book, which sold for $138,000, had George Washington's signature inside.
Case said the table is an exciting lot because researchers found photographic evidence in a rare book that the table sat in Marshall's home.
"You've got to tie it together, and so when you have photographic evidence like that, … it makes all the difference in the world," Case said.
Civil rights-era marching sign

A civil rights era "sandwich board" style sign is up for bid.
The sign reads "Honor King: End Racism!" and was carried in Memphis on a memorial march, four days after Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in 1968.
Few of these signs exist today. One is on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.
The sign is estimated to go for $6,000-$8,000.
Obscure painting of Jesus Christ
A painting in the style of Pre-Raphaelite, "King of Sorrows," is up for bid.
"This was a lost work," Case said. "It was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1897."
The painting was rediscovered in a Jackson, Tennessee, estate.
The artist, William Shakespeare Burton, is obscure, Case said. The painting is estimated to sell for $10,000-$12,000.
"Part of the challenge is we have no comparables for his work, he's so scarce," Case said. "But in terms of a powerful rendering of Christ, it's really one of my favorites and the story behind it."
Great Smoky Mountains oil painting

Tennessee artist Charles Krutch will be represented: An oil painting of the Smoky Mountains will be auctioned in its original 19th Century frame.
Krutch was self-taught, Case said, and was one of the first painters to specialize in Smoky Mountain scenes. The painting is estimated to go for $10,000-$12,000.
Rare Confederate garment up for bid

A Confederate shell jacket is up for bid. It's a rare piece, Case said, and is estimated to go for $10,000-$12,000.
The jacket was worn by Colonel Tomlinson Fort, 1st Georgia Infantry. He was also mayor of Chattanooga. It's unusual that a colonel would wear the piece to begin with: These jackets were typically for enlisted men, Case said.
The next auction will be held Oct. 6 and will have about 300-400 lots.

Who Invented The Ice Cream Maker? (Solved)
Nancy M. Johnson was the first person to invent an ice cream maker, which occurred in the early 1843. She was born in 1795 and died in 1890, thus she was born in the 1890s. People have speculated that she is from Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, or perhaps New Jersey, but no one knows for sure. Although the Ice Cream Maker was her lone invention, she worked on it for a long time and improved it.
When were icecream makers invented?
In 1843, Nancy Johnson received a patent for the world's first hand-cranked model. In 1848, William Young developed the machine, which he dubbed the 'Johnson Patent Ice-Cream Freezer.'
Who was the first maker of ice cream?
Ice cream was first produced on a big scale by Jacob Fussell, who was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1836. Purchasing fresh dairy products from farmers in York County, Pennsylvania and reselling them in Baltimore was Fussell's business model. Because of the erratic demand for his dairy goods, he frequently found himself with a surplus of cream, which he turned into ice cream.
Where was the ice cream maker invented?
At the time of her patent application for the world's first hand-cranked ice cream churn in 1843, Nancy Johnson was living in Philadelphia (US3254A). Her simple innovation ushered in a new era of 'disruptive technology,' making it possible for anybody to produce high-quality ice cream without the need of power.
How was the ice cream machine invented?
Inventor Nancy M. Johnson of New York filed a patent application in 1843 for the hand-cranked ice cream freezer, which had a rotating crank and a middle paddle for churning the mixture around. After about 45 minutes of cranking the machine (which is far less labor-intensive than stirring with a spoon), the wonderful treat emerged.

Who invented the soft serve ice cream machine?
Inventor Tom Carvel created the world's first soft serve ice cream machine in 1939. Carvel was given permission by the potter to connect to his store's power. When Carvel acquired the pottery store two years after that in 1936, he transformed it into a roadside stand, and so cemented his position as the nation's first vendor of soft serve ice cream.
What did Nancy M Johnson invent?
However, other people claim that the dessert originated in England, and that it is particularly popular at birthday parties and other similar occasions in North America. Its popularity grew throughout the nineteenth century, when ice cream was seen as a lavish treat reserved primarily for the wealthy and well-connected.
Who invented ice cream cones?
How did the Chinese make ice cream?
A type of ice cream was produced in China around 200 BC when a milk and rice combination was frozen by putting it into snow and then frozen again. The Roman emperors are said to have dispatched slaves to mountaintops in order to bring down fresh snow, which was subsequently flavoured and served as an early kind of ice cream, according to legend.
When was Nancy Johnson the ice cream maker born?
Nancy Johnson was an American woman who lived from 1795 until 1890. In 1843, the inventor of an ice cream freezing machine was born (before freezers were invented).

Did Nancy Johnson get married?
Her husband, Walter Rogers Johnson (1794-1852), was a scientist who, in 1848, was appointed as the first Secretary of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, D.C.. The pair married in 1823 at Medfield, Massachusetts, later establishing home in Washington, D.C. They have two adopted children, Walter W. and Elizabeth W.

Why was the first ice cream maker invented?
Nancy Johnson, an American inventor, was the first to create the world's first ice cream machine in 1846. It is the very first gadget that will make it possible to democratize ice cream and introduce it to the general public's palate… and it will do so very rapidly, too!
What does an ice cream maker actually do?
Ice cream makers are intended to expedite the process of freezing an ice cream base by reducing the time it takes. It is possible to achieve smaller ice crystals and a much smoother finished result by increasing the speed at which the liquid is frozen and adding some churning movement.
What machines are used to make ice cream?
Ice cream machine As I explain in my book, an ice cream machine is a necessary, but it doesn't have to break the budget. We tested the recipes in the book using three machines: the Cuisinart ICE-21 or ICE-20 versions; the Breville Freeze Mix; and the Breville Smart Scoop.

Shrill Review: Aidy Bryant's New Hulu Comedy Cuts Fat Jokes Down to Size
By Dave Nemetz / March 12 2019, 7:00 AM PDT

Hulu's new comedy Shrill is quietly revolutionary in the way it approaches its main character: SNL cast member Aidy Bryant stars as Annie, a woman who is overweight… and who is actually totally fine with that, thanks for asking. (When a pushy exercise instructor tells her, "There is a small person inside of you dying to get out," Annie jokes, "Well, I hope that small person's OK in there!") Shrill — premiering this Friday, March 15; I've seen four of the six episodes — is about the point in Annie's life where she finally gets tired of smiling politely and cracking jokes when people tell her how she should live her life and starts sticking up for herself. And if the end result is a bit standard-issue indie comedy, the sheer fact that Shrill allows Annie to be herself, without trying to transform her, is worth celebrating.
Annie is a low-level writer at a Portland alt-weekly — side note: how does this publication still exist? — where her perpetually annoyed editor Gabe (John Cameron Mitchell) considers her "a vital and tiny cog" in his media empire. She also has a bearded slob of a boyfriend named Ryan (People of Earth's Luka Jones), although "boyfriend" is probably too strong a word: After they have sex, he quickly hustles her out the back door so his friends won't see her. At least she has a supportive best friend — British roommate Fran, played by Miracle Workers' Lolly Adefope, who has an instantly easy rapport with Bryant — who accepts her just as she is and encourages her to be bold and demand more out of life.
More than anything, Shrill is a long-overdue antidote to all the sitcom fat jokes we've been inundated by for decades. (Remember Monica in the fat suit on Friends?) Even today, This Is Us' Kate is mainly defined — negatively — by her weight, but Shrill makes sure that Annie's weight is just one small aspect of her life. We also see the subtle pressure that even friends and family can put on her to lose weight, like her well-meaning parents (Julia Sweeney and Daniel Stern), whose words of encouragement just end up making her feel worse. Shrill really hits its stride in Episode 4, with Annie attending an inclusive "Fat Babe" pool party filled with plus-size people just having fun without being self-conscious about their bodies; it's exhilarating and empowering, in a way we don't often see on TV.
All that said, though, while it's great to see Annie assert herself… that's kind of all this show is? The stakes are very low, and it doesn't have an especially deep roster of characters to draw from. It seems to be going for a Girls-ish vibe — it's warmly lit with a jangly hipster soundtrack, and Girls vet Jesse Peretz directs the pilot — but it's not as sharply observed or as funny as that show was. (Shrill is more in the Transparent vein of sad-com, where you don't actually laugh out loud, you just sort of say to yourself, "Hmmm, that is clever.") Although Annie is allotted a few small victories, things get pretty emotionally bleak for her at times, and Bryant — such a talented performer on SNL — is strangely muted here, never really getting to show off the comedic chops we know she has.
So while I appreciated Shrill, and what it represents, I didn't really enjoy it, if that makes sense. I fully acknowledge that, as a skinny male TV critic, this show was not exactly made for me, and if it helps someone struggling with their weight feel seen and not so alone, I fully support that. I just wish that Shrill was as radically original everywhere else as it is when dealing with Annie's body issues. (The character of Ryan, in particular, is an irritating amalgam of every bad-boyfriend stereotype you've ever seen. Of course he has a podcast.) As a representation of an underserved demographic, and a declaration of war on lazy fat jokes, Shrill is an unquestioned success… but as a comedy series, it falls somewhere short of that.
THE TVLINE BOTTOM LINE: Shrill blazes a bold new trail for the portrayal of plus-size characters, but falls too often into familiar indie sad-com patterns.

I don't understand how people don't see the obvious, common trend of what happens to popular social networks like Snapchat.
They don't see that these platforms start off young, start off consumer based, start in a niche, and then go mainstream. It baffles me that people don't understand that when an app hits 100 million active users, it's gone mainstream. And what does that mean? It means that the platform can start to mature and start getting deeper into the business world. That's because once you have the attention of the 35 to 65 year old world, you now have the potential to cross over into the B2B world.
I always like to say "Behind every B is a C." What that means is, behind every business there is a human that is making the decisions. If you're selling a phone system or a SaaS product to a big corporation, a human being is still making that decision. If you're able to make content on a platform around interests in your specific industry, you've put yourself in a position to do B2B business.
Though Snapchat is not the place that I would recommend doing B2B activity right now (Facebook, LinkedIn, and places like Medium are still your best bet), I am completely convinced that in 24 to 36 months, as the platform dramatically ages up and starts hitting the 30 to 50 year old demo, there will be enormous possibilities. Snapchat will be an excellent place for B2B players who act like media companies — media companies that create stories to bring value to their end users. Those players will find their niche and their audience, allowing them to disproportionately pick up business. Meanwhile, their competitors will still be debating the ROI of Snapchat. And they'll be left behind if they can't adapt and evolve with the evolution of these platforms.
The reason I believe B2B will be so successful on Snapchat is because I see it as being very similar to YouTube. Snapchat might be different context, but what I mean is that it's not just a platform for entertainment. YouTube started as an entertainment platform, and it has become a search engine, probably the second largest in the world. The amount of how-to videos available on it, information, and DIYs is insane. I feel that Snapchat will get on the same level. There will be some plumber in America who becomes famous by doing two minute videos broken up in 20 sections on how to fix things yourself.
Snapchat will give us the next GaryVee of wine. It will give us the next homemade superstar, like Justin Bieber. It will grow and dominate in a way that many of you will continue to not take serious. Don't wait too long. Don't wait until it's too nosiey and crowded to see the huge advantages and upside you're looking for.
