So when I was in a car accident in Cedar Hill, things got really ugly for me. I had been rear ended and my back and neck were after the accident. So much so that I started to worry. I had went to the MD after and all he prescribed me were pain meds. First thing, I am only into naturopathic medicine and the thought of taking any sort of drug had me worried out of my mind. But I took them to get rid of the pain. After taking the meds for few weeks, the pain was still there. I didn't know what to do about covering my bills from the doctor or how the insurance even worked. So I searched a bit and found OHC, with one call they set me up with treatment for my back and handled all my insurance information, and even arranged a lawyer to handle my case. I didn't pay anything for what they did for me. They told me what they were processing and what to do when you are in a car accident. With treatment my back and neck pain lessened. They helped me out through this hard time.

An Evening With Dream Theater's John Petrucci
Band & Musician FS, Feature Stories
byMatt Pinson
Simply put, John Petrucci is the man. He has become the favorite son of prog, an icon of virtuosic musicianship, and my own personal guitar hero for close to 14 years. On March 11, MusicPlayers.com took the opportunity to talk with John backstage prior to Dream Theater's San Francisco show. We spoke in-depth with John regarding his passionate playing, sick technique, incredible tone, and humble nature.
MPc: One of my favorite aspects to your lead playing has always been those "spacey", fusion-inspired moments such as the solo from Lines in the Sand, A Change of Seasons, and over the closing arranging exercises in your instructional video, "Rock Discipline". This obviously involves modal playing over the changes (with a frequent emphasis on the Dorian mode). Can you offer any insight into your approach in creating these magical moments with regards to chord movement, scale choice, or other considerations?
John: Well, I think there are a couple of things to consider. One of them really has to do with knowing the chords that are going by and listening for them. Once you have knowledge of that, then you can kind of just go over what your options might be. Simple things like hitting chord tones and knowing where the strong notes are and where the passing notes are rely on having that knowledge of the chords as you're playing over them. With regards to modal choices, at this point, it's really become more of an "ear thing" where I can hear what might sound good ahead of time. I guess there is still some experimentation on my part with regards to choosing from the various options, but for the most part, I can kind of hear ahead of time what each of those options will sound like.
MPc: So when you're playing Dorian, for example, you're going to naturally gravitate a lot to the natural 6th tone… Are there other certain scale intervals or alterations to the chords where you say, "I really like that sound a lot," and then you tend to come back and incorporate them frequently in your playing? For instance, when The Police where forming their sound, they found that they really loved that sus2 or that add9 sound and implemented that a lot into their writing.
John: I use that [sus2 or add9 chord voicings] a lot! I love that actually! [laughs] I associate that a lot with Rush, actually – the big sus2 chords. Another thing I like, that's kind of that Steve Vai or Satriani sound, is the Lydian sound – the raised fourth and the major third. I think that's great. On my solo album, I have a song, "Glasgow Kiss" which has a mixolydian sound. It's very Steve Morse sounding. I really think that everything has its own flavor that has something appealing.
MPc: Your stage rig has changed quite a bit over the years. The tone that we, and many, long associated with you was circa Awake and we think you were getting your basic tone by playing the Ibanez JPM series guitars loaded with DiMarzio Steve's Special in the bridge and Air Norton in the neck through Mesa/Boogie Mark IIC+ heads through Rectifier standard cabs, the Lexicon PCM 70 for reverb, and the TC Electronic 2290 for chorus and delay. Now you are using your own signature Ernie Ball/Music Man guitars and we see Mesa/Boogie Road Kings and Lone Stars on stage, and different effects. Can you offer any other insights into your Awake-era tone as well as your current stage rig?
John: That album [Awake] was a combination of the Mark IIC+ and the Dual Rectifiers. It's the only album where I actually did quadruple tracking. So, when I recorded, if it was a rhythm part or figure, I played two tracks, left and right, of the IIC+, and two tracks, left and right, of the Dual Rectifier. I still use the [TC Electronic] 2290. I don't use the Lexicon piece [PCM 70] anymore. I'm using all TC Electronic stuff now. With regards to the 2290, I guess I'm just in love with it! I'll never not have one of those in a rig. I still use that. I use it mainly for chorusing and for a [stereo] split. I use a 7ms [delay] setting [between left and right speakers] on pretty much every sound. [Editor's note: This is a technique utilizing a delay setting whereby one-half of the signal (either the entire left or right channel) is delayed by a slight amount in order to create the illusion of depth and space between the speakers. The delay is set 100% wet with 0% feedback so that the entire signal for that channel is delayed by the set amount with no dry (non-delayed) signal or repeats present]. I don't really use that [2290] for echo. Instead, I use a TC Electronic M3000 unit for all of the delays.
MPc: What's your main reverb unit now?
John: I don't really use reverb, to be honest with you. It's not my favorite effect on guitar. If I were going to use it, I might use the M3000 for reverb.
MPc: Any amp or effects settings that you are willing to share?
John: Sure.
MPc: Let's start with your lead sounds, then.
John: Well, there are a couple of things… I just started to reintegrate the [Mark] IIC+ into my rig lately, but I've been using the Road Kings on the last few albums and the last few tours, and I still use them. So, just starting with that… It [the Road King] is kind of like a Dual Rectifier and it has different modes on each of the channels. If you take one of the lead modes, you have the option of choosing between Vintage and Modern. I use the Vintage mode. Also, on the Road King, you can select between different power tube combinations. I use 6L6's. I also use the Pentode setting and I set it to Bold. As far as the actual controls are concerned… I usually dial the presence pretty low. With regards to treble and bass… if you read the manual, it also says this in there: you should leave them at around twelve o'clock and play with them from there, but that's a good starting point. I'll dial out some bass and maybe add a little treble. The middle is always set so that it's kind of backed off a bunch… maybe between nine and ten o'clock.
MPc: What about with the Mark IIC+?
John: Now with the IIC+, a couple things about that. That amp has a lot of bass, so I have to dial the bass pretty low otherwise it gets too flubby. The bass can be set almost all the way off.
MPc: I set my Mark IV at about two.
John: Yeah, exactly. Also, the treble control on that amp affects the gain, so I kind of like to keep the treble up so it adds that extra gain. So it might be set at seven or so. You have to fool around with it, depending on the brightness of the guitar. The middle is dialed back as well to get that scooped sound. You have to be careful about setting the gain controls. You don't want to just crank them. I set the first gain at maybe seven or eight.
MPc: So even using the classic "V" curve on the amp's graphic EQ, you still dial the mids back with the rotary knobs?
John: Yeah, I do both. If I'm using it for a lead, I might turn the middle up a bit, but it's never straight up. It's always below. Sometimes with the "V" curve thing, I trim down some of the highs. Also, I usually set the presence on that amp at three or four.
MPc: How do you mic your cabs and get your tone in the studio?
John: Well, I think I've found the secret, at least for me. I recently played a solo on Marty Freidman's new record and I played a solo on Derek Sherinian's new record just yesterday. In both instances I walked into the studio and told them I needed my cabinet and my head [Editor's note: John used a Mesa/Boogie Road King head and Traditional Rectifier 4 x 12 cabinet] and two microphones, and got a guitar sound in five minutes. This is what I do. First of all, the cabinets are usually closed back, so there's no need to mic the back. They have Celestion Vintage 30's in them, and they're the smaller Traditional Rectifier cabinets, not the big ones. I think the cabinet should be in a fairly big room. Anytime I've ever tried to put a cabinet in a closet or a small room, it just doesn't sound right. There are too many weird reflections happening in that case. The speaker cabinet needs to have some sort of throw, like when it's in a big room. You can put a baffle in front of it if you need to, like maybe ten feet out front, but otherwise I think it needs to breath, for whatever reason.
I use a [Shure SM] 57 like this [Editor's note: John showed mic position to be on axis, about an inch and a half radially outward from edge of dust cap in center of cone, close mic'd, almost touching grill cloth]. You never want to put the microphone in the center of the speaker; it's just way too bright. Then you can fool around with how much off center you go. Obviously, the further away from the center you go, the duller the sound gets. Also, I use a Sennheiser MD421. That's the second mic, and I position it the same way. You can either place it on the same speaker or on a different speaker. Then, you just blend the two of those. Usually, if you have two faders, the 421 is sitting below the 57. So the 57 is the basic sound, and the 421 is a little darker and it's very fat.
MPc: So, you use the MD421 to fill out the sound of the SM57.
John: Yeah. It adds a lot of girth to the sound.
MPc: Do you pan each mic discretely?
John: No, they're not panned, they're just combined into one channel.
MPc: Are you compressing them at all?
John: No. No compression.
MPc: Are you EQing after that?
John: No EQ. You just have to go into a really good mic pre. I like to use Neve mic pre's… Flat, everything's flat.
MPc: So how has this approach changed from when you were recording Awake?
John: You know, to be honest with you, at that point in my career I wasn't as savvy towards the engineering side so I don't even really know what happened! [laughs]
MPc: Any other recording secrets? You and Mike have been producing Dream Theater albums now and they're sounding incredible, so you did a lot of things right. Any secrets in terms of getting the band's sound so cohesive?
John: Well, first of all we make sure that all of the sounds that we get are as clean as possible. We work with a really good engineer so that everything is recorded well; everything is at a good level, there are no weird noises, there isn't any clipping anywhere, etc. This way your source is really good. From there, we try to keep the performances as tight as we can. We're super-anal with the musicianship on the recording. This way, once you add in double tracked guitar and bass and keyboards, it doesn't sound like a mess… just cohesive.
MPc: You are highly regarded for many things associated with your playing, not least of all your amazing technique. What is your practice routine, and what advice would you give to advanced guitar players looking to take their technical abilities to the next level?
John: Well currently, I'm on tour right now, so I try to practice the songs from the tour. That is really helpful for me on a couple of different levels. One is, if a song has difficult passages…
MPc: "If" a Dream Theater song had difficult passages? [laughs]
John: When it has difficult passages! [laughs]… Whether it's a solo or a unison, I use that as a practice routine. I can take the unison part in "Take the Time", for example, and I can sit there for ten minutes with a metronome and just play that part. So it's doing a couple of things. It's warming up my hands – both of my hands, and a lot of those passages cover multiple techniques. There's string skipping, there's legato, there's arpeggios… it just covers it all. The second thing it does for me is it prepares me mentally, so when I go up on stage I don't have that weird feeling of "Oh shit… How does that go?" [laughs]
It helps me get a confidence level ensuring that I know all the material, that I won't forget it, and I'll be on top of it. It helps on that level as well. That's what I use when I'm on the road mostly to warm up. I still have tons of little noodly finger exercises and things. There are millions of chromatic things, and scale things, and stuff like that that I can draw from, but I find that practicing the actual pieces of the songs helps.
MPc: You're kind of using them in the etude sense?
John: Yeah.
MPc: So speaking of etudes and practice routines, any news of when we might see a second instructional video from you?
John: You know everybody keeps asking me, so the timing must be right… either that or it's taking me way too long! [laughs] After this tour we're going to be off for the summer, so I'm going to use that time to – that's my goal – to do an instructional video. It's been a long time, so I'm definitely doing it.
MPc: What's in store next for Dream Theater? Any plans for the next album?
John: Well to be honest with you, we haven't discussed the new album yet. Our short term plan is that we're recording a DVD on the last show of this tour, so we have that that we are focusing on, and then we know that we're going to take a break over the summer, so we won't reconvene to start writing for the new album until the Fall.

Margaret Wright, a senior majoring in English who is affiliated with Rockefeller College, has taken many classes at Princeton that have taught her how to better articulate and present her opinions. To add to those skills, she said, she would like to focus instead on listening to other people — "not in order to rebut an argument or support a claim, but just to try to understand."
Thanks to the Martin A. Dale '53 Fellowship, Wright will have the opportunity to do just that. This summer, she will travel across the country, primarily on foot, to conduct interviews and use them to create "listening poems," or poems composed entirely of words and phrases spoken by the people she meets.


If one wants to travel, has spare time and is in love with nature, there are a lot of vacation spots to visit. If one wants to see 'the end of the world', there is only one exquisite place to visit: Tierra del Fuego.
Looking through the map, a little south from Punta Arenas, forests, glaciers and wide opened sea is waiting for new guests to take them in an amazing tour de force. Tierra del Fuego national park shows its beauty with lakes, animals and a mystical sub-Antarctic environment. Other than the travel opportunities on earth, there is also a seaway which leads within the Beagle Chanel to Cape Horn and the Antarctica Continent where sea-wolves and penguins sing a welcome song.
The nature and the marvelous experience of living and breathing in the heart of it makes visitors to visit 'the end of the world', the home of the spectacular Maritime Museum (Museo del Fin del Mundo). Ushuaia peoples' culture and history is hidden in this museum, ready to be explored.
Coming this far, an interesting island and its lighthouse called Faro del Fin de Mundo can be visited and with Tren del Fin de Mundo, the railway leads way to the national park and a lot more beautiful places.
Lastly, nature lovers can go to the Martial Glacier, The Centro Invernal Cerro Castor for skiing. Also participating at adventures like biking, hiking, horse riding, trekking and sports fishing can be attractive and fun.


Kindred, Betsson, GiG and Cherry form Norwegian trade body to encourage the government to allow internationally licensed online gambling operators to apply for local licenses.
Online gambling operators in Norway have formed a trade body to pressure the government to rethink its stance on online gaming.
Stenstrøm said the regulatory regimes in Denmark and Sweden recognise that regulating "all the serious companies under one, responsible license model" is the only way forward.
The NBO will be fully active from 1 May 2019.
Online gambling operators in Norway – Kindred, Betsson, GiG and Cherry – have formed a trade body to urge the government to rethink its restrictive gambling policy.
The Norwegian Industry Association for Online Gambling (NBO) will be chaired by Kindred's public affairs manager Rolf Sims, and Carl Fredrik Stenstrøm, Rikstoto former commercial director, as its secretary-general.
This new association aims to encourage Norway's government end its current monopolistic stance in favour of a liberalised regime that would allow internationally licensed online gambling operators to apply for local licenses.
Stenstrøm said the regulatory regimes in Denmark and Sweden recognise that regulating "all the serious companies under one, responsible license model" is the only way forward. In addition, he stressed that this is a beneficial move for Norwegian players as efforts in responsible gaming are difficult to control if the market remains unmanaged by the government.

is nikon d780 worth it
But DSLRs remain the best choice for many photographers, particularly those who have existing lenses or honed their craft with optical viewfinders – and the D780 is one of the best full-frame options around. 1/250s @ f8, ISO 1600. The D780 has many upgraded features, but it's also at a different price point. The Nikon D750 is a highly popular and respected camera, but at almost six years old, it was almost certainly ready for an upgrade. Where the D750 offered no 4K option at all … Mirrorless Isn't All It's Cracked up To Be. Nikon D780 24.5 MP Full Frame DSLR Camera (1618) - Accessory Bundle - with Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB Card + Additional ENEL15 Battery + Nikon Case + Cleaning Set + More (Renewed) $1,939.95 Verkrijg deze deal On the surface, two of the biggest specifications, pixel count and focusing system, remain the same. However, the D780's sen… It looks and performs good as new and I couldn't be happier. Dynamic range is excellent, while automatic white balance does a good job of keeping colors accurate. Should you go with the D780 over D750? You get a sturdy, magnesium alloy body that's resistant to both dust and water, along with a satisfyingly chunky grip. I like it. The D780 has a 24.5 megapixel FX sensor and EXPEED 6 processor, 4K video recording, ISO range of 50-204,800, 12fps burst shooting, in-camera USB charging, and dual SD card memory slots.

What is Rheumatoid Arthritis? Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes someone's joints to lock up throughout the body, which causes extreme pain. When I found out I had Rheumatoid Arthritis I was nervous because I never heard of this disease and I was afraid of the possible outcomes, such as death, sickness, and pain. I put my faith in God and believed in only the positive. My family continued to uplift me and encourage me. Eventually, I began to feel pain and On December 23, 2021, I fainted, and I was diagnosed with COVID-19.
In December 2021, I was pronounced with COVID-19. I had experienced extreme abdominal pain and nausea. From that point forward, I was diagnosed with lupus by one doctor but was referred to another specialist for a second opinion. The specialist I began to see explained what is causing this pain and I did not have lupus but only symptoms of it. Later, the doctor began to run more tests and shortly found out I have a positive (ANA) and symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis that I will later on develop.
As well as that, I would miss many days of school because of the pain and doctor appointments, which caused my grades and attendance to go down tremendously. Furthermore, I had to quit playing sports due to the unbearable pain. Shortly after that, I went into a dark place because I couldn't play sports at this time. Even though I couldn't play sports at the time I started to draw to clear my head. Lastly, I got a phone call saying I didn't have lupus and to come in as soon as possible.
It should be noted that lupus mainly affects black women. As many as 1 in 250 African American women will develop lupus. In fact, there is no cure for lupus, but current treatments focus on improving quality of life through controlling symptoms and minimizing flare-ups. At this point, the doctors have concluded I didn't have lupus which was a stress reliever. Furthermore, I was told I could begin to play sports again which gave me a sense of courage to persevere through all the obstacles I've faced to reach my goals. Although I was slowly overcoming my sadness, it returned because I received a phone call saying my uncle just passed away due to lupus. This took a turn because my uncle's death had me doubting if what the doctors told me was true.
Even though I've experienced these issues I am determined to persevere, push through, and look forward to a better future. Nevertheless, having this disease just motivates me to push harder to accomplish my goals. Also, I will not let this deter me from my studies or sports but only encourage me to give my all. Furthermore, I am fully dedicated to learning more about my disease. Finally, I am at peace with knowing my condition and what steps to take further in life from here on out. My plans for the future are to finish highschool, build my branding business and play basketball in college. A goal of mine is to get 3 basketball scholarships before the summer ends. Another goal of mine is after graduating high school to play at a D1 college.

Hornibrook leads Badgers to victory over Georgia State, 23-17
MADISON — Backup quarterback Alex Hornibrook led No. 9 Wisconsin to three scoring drives in the second half, helping the sluggish Badgers avert an embarrassing upset with a 23-17 win on Saturday over Georgia State.
Hornibrook took over for Bart Houston late in the third quarter with Wisconsin stuck in an offensive malaise. The freshman finished 8 of 12 for 122 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Penniston with 7:25 left to give the Badgers the lead for good, 20-17.
Wisconsin (3-0) heads into Big Ten play next week at No. 12 Michigan State with questions at quarterback. Houston, a senior making his third career start, was 10 of 18 for 91 yards.
Georgia State (0-3) played well after losing its first two games by a combined 79-35.
Conner Manning threw for a career-high 269 yards and a score. Kyler Neal's 9-yard touchdown run with 11:36 left gave the Panthers a brief lead before the Badgers defense reasserted itself.
GEORGIA STATE: The Panthers can build on a respectable effort against a Big Ten power after losing to Ball State and Air Force in its first two games. With two of Wisconsin's top running backs hurt, a defense that was allowing an FBS-worst 394.5 yards rushing per game gave up just 187 on Saturday. On offense, coach Trent Miles' team softened up Wisconsin's rough-and-tumble defense with quick and short passes over the middle.
WISCONSIN: The Badgers need to work on their offense inside the 30 after having to settle for two field goals on two first-quarter drives. They came away scoreless on two other drives after losing a fumble near the goal line and missing a 30-yard field goal at the end of the first half. Starting tight end Troy Fumagalli and running back Taiwan Deal both left with right leg injuries after Wisconsin's first drive, and the team was already without top running back Corey Clement, who sat after rolling his left ankle in the 54-10 win over Akron on Sept. 10.
GEORGIA STATE: After a bye next week, the Panthers wrap up a three-game road swing with a trip to Sun Belt Conference favorite Appalachian State on Oct. 1.
WISCONSIN: The two-week honeymoon period is over in an otherwise brutal schedule. The trip to play the Spartans starts a four-game stretch against AP Top 25 opponents.

These five simple security measures will ensure your home stays out of the watchful eye of an intruder.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, every 15 seconds a home in America is burglarized and the homeowner typically suffers a loss of nearly $2,000 in stolen goods or property damage.
Given these startling statistics, break-ins can be avoided altogether by using common sense and mindfulness. Here are some simple security measures to take to ensure your home stays out of the watchful eye of an intruder.
Having security layers in place is the best possible preventative measures to deter possible criminals from marking your home as an easy target. These security layers will advertise to intruders that they should avoid your home altogether. Designing a home defense system that includes multiple security layers is a proactive way to protect your home, family, and belongings. Fortunately, there are plenty of tools at your disposal for keeping your property safe. Most of them cost significantly less than an alarm system, and all together can provide several layers of security to your home. Below are seven awesome tools for keeping your place safe during the holiday season. These affordable items are a great start to beefing up your home security.
Those that are preparedness-minded are always vigilant about ensuring the safety of their family members. In that same vein, children should know the basics of the family emergency plan and safety rules like not opening the door to strangers.
As well, having some basic safety/security supplies near the most vulnerable areas of the home (key entry points, garages, etc.) would be advantageous if you find yourself face to face with someone attempting to break-in. For examples, near the entry points in my home, we have a decorative basket that blends into the decor but has items such as flashlights, an emergency whistle, multi-tools and/or a knife. As well, if you do not have children in the home, you can also strategically place a handgun, clips or a non-lethal weapon if you choose. You can strategically place these items near vulnerable spots of the home.
Another vulnerable part of the home is windows. Burglars love to "window shop". If you keep your curtains or blinds open, this will give them an opportunity to take a peek into the home. Moreover, if you have picturesque bistro tables and chairs, they can easily be used against you. Criminals will throw them against windows for fast entry. Installing shatter-proof window film on windows will help prevent this.
While we love a beautifully landscaped yard with shrubs and bushes cut low, this can also make for easy entry into the home. You can add bushes and landscaping to help deter criminals from marking your home. Plants with thorns such as roses, bougainvillea or blackberry bushes are great choices for securing the outer perimeter of the home. At the very least, secure the windows from becoming entry points with window alarms to alert you or your neighbors to a break in.
Speaking of yard and landscaping, how many of you have a ladder that you forgot to bring in? Criminals will look around for tools they can use to gain entry. The second story of a home is typically more lax when it comes to security. If you are guilty of this one, lock up your ladder in your garage.
The most common way for an intruder to get into your home is through the door. Make this your first priority in reinforcing your security. The best method is to install door frame and hinge reinforcements on the front and back doors. This security solution is made of galvanized steel and can prevent single entry door kick-ins and stop intruders before they are inside. Moreover, you might also want to consider installing a deadbolt. Even the strongest reinforced steel door can be neutralized by one swift kick if your lock does not extend deep enough into the door frame.
As well, gaining entry into a garage is another essential entry point to secure. It takes less than six seconds to break into a garage if the criminal knows how. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to prevent this.
Having a pleasant relationship with neighbors who stay at home is a beneficial relationship to have. They can keep an eye on your home while you are at work and you can reciprocate in a way that helps them out. Knowing who your neighbors are, what type of cars they drive and usually the time they are home, creates a neighborhood that is actively practicing OPSEC and awareness.
We typically assume those living around us are respectful of property, but this isn't always the case. Those living in residential areas bring unwanted attention to themselves when they rid their home of the large boxes marked with brand names or pictures of products. This happens frequently during Christmastime. That new flatscreen television box or video game system packaging will scream, "Come steal me!" to criminals. Be mindful and load up boxes and drop them off at a recycling center. This will reduce the eyes on the prize. As well, boxes are one the easiest items to repurpose. On a personal note, I have broken down boxes and used them to create a lasagna-style garden. This cut down on my trash load and helped me create a more sustainable lifestyle.
Illuminating the perimeter is single-handedly one of the easiest security measures to take. Simply put, dark or poorly lit areas make it easier for burglars to go unseen. Motion sensing security measures will quickly signal you to trouble if it's out there. As well, indoor timers for lamps and indoor lighting can help to fool anyone creeping around where they shouldn't be. Remember, the main goal of burglars is to get in and get out unseen. If they think someone is home, they will think twice before entering.
Everyone wants to believe that they are safe and sound when they latch the windows and lock the doors. With the increase in crime, jobless rates, and increased food prices, home break-ins are likely to be on the rise. Take some incentive to review your family preparedness plans and beef up your home security measures! The investment in your home security will pay off for years to come.
You left out the obvious deterrent – – – a barking dog!

New report reveals that Black, Latinos in LA receive fewer home loans than whites
By City News Service
November 24, 2020 11/24/2020 8:24 pm
Black and Latino borrowers in the Los Angeles area continue to receive far fewer home purchase loans than white homebuyers, according to an analysis of federal home loan data released today by The Greenlining Institute.
"In our society, homeownership remains critical to building wealth and financial stability," said report author Rawan Elhalaby, Greenlining's senior equity program manager. "The racial discrepancies we see can't be explained simply by differences in income. It will take a concerted effort by banks, non-bank lenders and financial regulators to overcome the systemic disadvantages that Black, Latino and indigenous borrowers still face."
In the Los Angeles/Long Beach/Glendale metropolitan statistical area, Latinos make up nearly half of the population but received less than 23% of home purchase loans. The Black community represents 7.76% of the population and received 4.04% of home purchase loans, according to Elhalaby.
The report, "Home Lending to Communities of Color in California," is based on data for 2019 reported under the federal Home Mortgage Disclosure Act.
Among the report's key findings:
-- Black and Latino shares of home purchase loans in the state were only about 60% of what would be expected based on their percentage of the state's population, while whites were overrepresented. Native Americans' share of home mortgages was about half of what would be expected based on their population;
-- even among low-income communities, Black and Latino borrowers lagged behind whites in their share of home purchase loans, indicating that the racial and ethnic discrepancies can't be explained solely by income differences;
-- women of color make up 30% of California's population but received only about 8% of home loans; and
-- non-bank lenders, which operate similarly to traditional lenders but are not regulated by the Community Reinvestment Act, are gaining market share without making community commitments common among traditional banks.
The Greenlining Institute is a policy, research, organizing and leadership institute working for racial and economic justice, according to its website.

EU myths and Greek reality

Sadly, the journey travelled by the Greek people since 2010 was not some Homeric odyssey, filled with adventure, but rather a living nightmare for millions of Greek people.
In particular, Greek workers and their families, as well as small family farmers, have paid a very heavy price at the hands of both the Greek ruling class and their EU overseers in the form of the EU "Programme for Greece" (similar to the "Programme for Ireland") imposed on the Greek working class.
Both policies were for making the working class pay for the crisis of the system and for them to shoulder the massive corporate debt. The economic crisis provided the pretext for an attack on the advances gained by workers in Europe over many decades. They just dusted off a strategy they had sitting on a shelf waiting the opportune moment to implement it.
All the schemes imposed by the European Union, the EU Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund are similar, with the same demands, requiring a similar outcome.
Yet they tell us the crises in all these countries are different, and are the product of government failures. How can this be so?
The SYRIZA government in Greece and the EU have portrayed the fact that Greece formally left the EU programme at the end of August as a success story for both the Greek government and the EU strategy. Nothing could be further from the truth. But don't let the truth get in the way of a good bit of propaganda!
The Greek national debt now stands at approximately €295 billion, with interest payments of €18.66 billion per year. The share of national debt per citizen is €31,204, while the debt accounts for 186 per cent of the country's gross domestic product. Most of the outstanding debt is owed to the European Union:
European Financial Stability Mechanism and European Stability Mechanism: €168 billion
Euro-zone governments: €53 billion
Private investors: €34 billion
Greek government bondholders: €15 billion
EU Central Bank: €13 billion
IMF: €12 billion
The Greek economy is now 25 per cent smaller than it was in 2010. Greek workers have indeed paid a heavy price.
The official unemployment figure stands at 20 per cent.
One in ten of the population of working age has left the country.
Youth unemployment accounts for nearly 40 per cent of those left in the country.
Average incomes have slumped by a third.
Successful state enterprises were bundled up as security for the bail-outs and have either been privatised or abolished.
Workers' wages, terms and conditions have been cut to pieces.
The retirement age has been raised by ten years since 2009.
The average monthly wage has gone from €1,462 in 2011 to €1,060 in 2018.
The wages of low-skilled workers went from €1,080 per month to €747.
Many people, especially pensioners, decreased or stopped their daily medicine intake as as a result of "reforms" after 2012.
Life expectancy has gone down.
The SYRIZA government and the European Union have hailed the fact that Greece has "officially left the EU bail-out programme" as a success. One has to ask, A success for whom? And at what price for workers and their families and communities?
Because Greece has officially left the EU-imposed austerity programme, does it mean that austerity is over? Far from it. Greece is still burdened with massive socialised corporate debt. Successive governments gave priority to foreign private banks, bailing them out on the backs of working people.
In late June 2018 the Greek parliament was obliged to push through another batch of economic changes demanded by creditors, including further reductions in pensions and "reforms" of the health system and taxation.
George Papandreou, head of the PASOK government (equivalent to the Irish Labour Party), signed up to the first memorandum with the "troika" of the EU, ECB, and IMF. This first bail-out was to save the zombie European banking system, mainly French and German banks exposed to defaulting Greek debt.
This was the same policy that the Irish government accepted when we bailed out the banks and took responsibility for 42 per cent of European banking debt, to "save the euro."
As the statistics show, the Greek working class was sacrificed at the behest of the European Union and the Greek ruling class. In other words, they were sacrificed to save a bankrupt economic system.
For the bail-outs had nothing to do with alleviating the economic condition of the mass of the Greek people. The second bail-out was to save the failing banking system, that is, to directly save the Greek ruling class.
The third bail-out, the one that the left charlatan Tsipras agreed to, was to push through privatisation, welfare cuts, assaults on workers' rights and "modernisation" of the economy that PASOK could not achieve because of massive resistance by the Greek working class. In stepped the wolf in sheep's clothing: SYRIZA, headed by Tsipras.
Presenting themselves as friends of the working class, SYRIZA delivered what the first two agreements could not. While the government was imposing savage cuts in public spending—on schools, hospitals, and pensions—they increased military spending, at the behest of NATO and the EU.
Not alone were these policies a savage attack on workers, but democracy and national sovereignty were set aside. EU bureaucrats daily bullied the Greek people, bluntly stating that, to stay in the EU and remain within the euro zone, democracy and the democratic expressions of the people's will, in the form of elections and referendums, had to be set aside.
The ECB banker Lucas Papademos, who became the unelected prime minister in 2011, and the former minister of finance Yannis Stournaras, who became governor of the Greek central bank in 2014, were nothing more than the local branch office of the EU Central Bank.
Working people should not understand these events or actions merely as those of a weak and vain leader. It was the weak and compromising response by Greek social democracy, similar to what has been done and is being done by social democratic and labour parties all over Europe.
Despite the severe battering of the last decade, the Greek working class has continued to fight back, thanks in no small measure to the resistance, courage and leadership shown by the Communist Party of Greece in its mass mobilisation and the leadership of the All-Workers' Militant Front (PAME).
Here in Ireland, as we approach the tenth anniversary of the bank bail-out, it has to be repeated again and again: the debt imposed upon the Greek, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Irish people is simply unsustainable. All the so-called sacrifice has had little or no effect. The rich have got richer and working people are poorer.
"Austerity" has worked. It was always for the transfer of wealth from working people upwards to the rich and also outwards to fill the coffers of foreign banks. The Irish people were sacrificed to save the euro.
The Greek people may have formally left the memorandum period, but they will still be constrained by quarterly inspections from the EU and ECB to make sure they are still toeing the line. Their budget—like the Irish budget—will go to Berlin and Brussels first before we hear anything about what is in it.
Capitalism will be protected at all costs.
