An interview with CapitalSpring's Richard Fitzgerald
COVID-19 has fundamentally altered the way many businesses operate, and restaurants have been forced to make the most significant changes of all. Richard Fitzgerald is a co-founder and Managing Partner at CapitalSpring, a PE firm dedicated to the restaurant industry (companies in their portfolio include staples like Taco Bell and Dunkin' Donuts), and he recently shared his insights about how his portfolio companies are responding to the pandemic and what his industry can teach us about navigating one of the biggest crises companies have faced in decades.
Sean Mooney: What do you see as the post-COVID future of the restaurant industry?
Richard Fitzgerald: The National Restaurant Association recently reported that the restaurant industry has experienced 100,000 closures tied to the pandemic. Many of those are independent mom and pop businesses or concepts that come into the pandemic in a weak position. The industry has become crowded – growth in the number of restaurants has been outpacing growth in the population. In other words, supply has been exceeding demand, which could ultimately mean COVID-19 will be healthy for the industry because it corrects for the imbalance.
Post COVID-19, labor management will likely be easier, as higher unemployment will lead to easier hiring and lower turnover. It's been hard for restaurants to grow in recent years, because rents have been high with fierce competition for good locations. More affordable locations will become available after the pandemic; meanwhile, a pivot toward delivery, drive-through, and off-premise services will take place. Fast casual restaurants (FCR) and quick service restaurants (QSR) will likely see continued growth, as they are best positioned for our "new normal."
SM: What has CapitalSpring been focused on over the past six months?
RF: Between March and June, we stopped looking at new deals and really focused on the portfolio. We talked to most of our companies every day for months. We didn't know how long the headwinds would persist, so we wanted to fortify portfolio company balance sheets and ensure operations were as efficient as possible, and prepare for a severe and protracted downturn. We also worked closely with the portfolio to ensure off-premise capabilities were optimized, including creating temporary drive thrus and outside dining rooms with tents in parking lots and other stop-gap measures.
SM: What attributes do you look for in your companies' leadership teams?
RF: We're always trying to find leaders who have solid track records of managing through certain environments and against specific goals. If we're looking to back a company that will focus on acquisitions, we try to find someone who's done that before. Matching up leaders' experience and track record to the growth strategy of the business is a core priority for us.
Throughout COVID-19, we've had a lot of discussions with portco leaders about how they handled the economic crisis in 2008 and 2009, and the current crisis will help to inform relationships with portcos down the road. For example, we'll be able to ask, "What did you do when you saw the news about restaurants being closed, people sheltering at home, and so on?" This is a new stress test against which we can evaluate people and companies. If managers did a good job through the pandemic, they've been battle-tested and will likely be reliable partners in future crises.
SM: How does CapitalSpring use third-party resources and expertise to fill gaps with their portfolio companies?
RF: There are a lot of great resources out there that help improve decision-making around new site selection – for example, resources that can be used to identify the right location to build a new restaurant by leveraging AI to analyze large datasets of variables related to traffic patterns, site attributes, and local demographics. We also rely on third parties for supply chain and procurement analysis – everything from napkins and food to how restaurants can improve their facilities by reducing the cost of engineering and maintenance.
We work with a group that helps us look for efficiencies at the store level and optimize menus (there's far more science behind this than most people realize). There are data analytics services that can tell restaurant owners how to implement a 3 percent price increase while minimizing reductions in foot traffic – for example, by changing prices on items that people purchase less frequently (think hash browns versus the Big Mac). We collect a lot of proprietary data with our portcos, but in some areas they don't have the "depth of data" that third parties can provide.
SM: How has 2020 shifted your thinking about how you interact with portcos?
RF: One major challenge is maintaining a healthy company culture while working remotely. I spend a lot of time just calling colleagues and checking in on them now. You don't need to be as proactive about culture when people are seeing each other every day, but now it's difficult to know who's overwhelmed or who's potentially dealing with stress at home.
SM: What is one myth about private equity you wish would go away for good?
RF: There's a pervasive idea that PE firms buy companies, strip them down, and try to sell them as quickly as possible to make a profit. In the vast majority of cases, this simply isn't true – the industry often adds jobs, spearheads diversity initiatives, and brings focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. PE firms also cultivate long-term relationships with their portcos – there are times when we're lenders and times when we're owners, but our role is always to put a company in the strongest possible position to succeed. That way, everyone wins.


Like most spiritual seekers, I have always been curious about the meaning of life. And mystified that the general population isn't openly so. I find it hard to believe that people go about their cumbersome tasks without asking, "What's the point? Why are we here?" As children, we used to ask these questions.
To find our personal answers is life-changing. A chain reaction ensues to seek more. If we remain open to more, we are shown ever-widening awareness. We are given expansion that takes us to the stars!
But the most beautiful part about spiritual curiosity is that it leads you back to yourself. It reveals the universe of love within. Though you may start with the bigness around you, you end up with the infinite inside.
The astounding truth is that you are an exquisite universe unto yourself. You are everything you've been seeking your whole life. So find out as much as you can about yourself! And don't let anyone tell you what that is.
Be curious, and let nothing stop you. If it tries, become a wise kind of teenager. When you meet resistance, unleash your inner rebel who cannot be squashed. Persist among those who doubt you. Remember, they were children who were told not to ask!
This is how you find your true self. And it's not as hard as it was. Finally, spiritual curiosity is becoming more accepted. It is less policed and shunned. Indeed, the time is ripe to rediscover ourselves.
This movement is unfolding like flowers – those emissaries of sweet paradise. It is multiplying across the earth in waves and heralding our bright future. Curiosity is creating the Eden we long for. By revealing the immaculate beauty within ourselves. It is taking each of us by the hand – like the sweetest lover, and whispering secrets we already know.
P.S. – I got the email from Nanette about the event in late June – I fly back the morning of June 29th. Otherwise, I would have been there!
I 100% support curiosity and the pursuit of going within to find ourselves, but so far in my life experience, I think I've spent so much time within that I haven't been "out there" enough :P I don't know how you feel about the concept of soul ages, but it seems like the young souls (the "doers") make up the majority, while the mature and old souls (the seekers who are going within) are less common. Part of me wants to say that we need both the doers and the seekers for things to remain balanced within society, but then I wonder what amazing discoveries could be made if more and more people became seekers.
Hi Manda! Thank you for being here. Your blog is beautiful, and I hope to spend more time reading it.
What is happening for me right now is that I am ending my seeking phase – in a triumphant culmination where I am thriving! And on the other side, I am getting ready to do a lot. Engage with the world big time in order to really spread change and help. So seekers do once they're on the other side, in my opinion.
We are setting the new template, the new paradigm for creating with love instead of fear. It's amazing to be through the hard stuff and ready to lead.

Two Mexican Men Sentenced in KC Heroin Ring
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Two Mexican nationals have been sentenced for their roles in a conspiracy that distributed more than 30 pounds of heroin in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Federal prosecutors say 46-year-old Julian Felix-Aguirre was sentenced Wednesday to 24 years and seven months in prison without parole. And 38-year-old Martin Missael Puerta-Navarro was sentenced to 14 years and eight months without parole. The two are among 26 people charged in the case, with 16 of them now sentenced. Prosecutors say the drug ring worked with the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico to establish stash houses, build hidden compartments in vehicles, and receive and sell black tar heroin. Court documents say 66-year-old Dennis McLallen, of Overland Park, Kansas, was the direct contact with Mexico-based drug suppliers. He is serving 15 years without parole.
President Trump Approves Disaster Funds for Kansas Counties
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has approved a disaster declaration covering more than half of the Kansas' 105 counties. The federal assistance approved Thursday will provide service and funds to help recovery from severe weather that began on April 28th and included tornadoes and flooding. The declaration provides funding for emergency work, repair and replacement of damaged facilities and mitigation of hazards. Kansas received 10.26 inches of rain in May, more than double the 30-year average of 4.12 inches. And an EF-4 tornado that hit May 28 caused substantial damage in parts of Douglas and Leavenworth counties.
Judge: Videos Don't Clear Officers in Topeka Suspect's Death
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that videos from officers' body cameras do not establish that a suspect reached for a gun before Topeka police shot him to death in September 2017. U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree said this week that the video footage was "equivocal, at best" in a ruling that allows attorneys for suspect Dominique White's family to question two officers. The family filed a civil rights lawsuit in June 2018 against the city, Officers Michael Cruse and Justin Mackey and five unnamed officers. The city wants the lawsuit dismissed. The officers responded to reports of gunfire near a park and confronted the 30-year-old White. He was armed, and the officers shot him as he fled, maintaining that White reached for his gun in a pocket.
Heavy Rains Delay Kansas Wheat Harvest
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Heavy rains and flooding that inundated Kansas in May and early June are slowing down the state's wheat harvest. The Wichita Eagle reports the wheat harvest usually starts between early and mid-June and wraps up by mid-July. But the Kansas Wheat Commission says only 1% of the state's wheat crop was harvested as of Sunday. Typically, about 12% of the crop is harvested by this time, and last year 20% was harvested by mid-June. The delay comes after the state got 10.26 inches of rain in May, more than double the 30-year average of 4.12 inches. It was the wettest May ever recorded in Kansas. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says only 21 percent of Kansas' wheat crop is mature, compared with almost 60 percent at this time last year.
Topeka Man Charged in Mother's Death
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A 43-year-old Topeka man is charged with first-degree murder in the death of his mother. Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay announced Thursday that David Wood Jr. is charged in the death of 69-year-old Kyong "Carol" Wood. He is also charged with felony interference with law enforcement. Investigators say the victim was found dead Sunday inside her home. Kagay says she died from blunt force trauma. David Wood was arrested after a nearly five-hour standoff. He surrendered when police fired tear gas into the house. The Topeka Capital-Journal reports Wood is being held in the Shawnee County Jail and on $1 million bond.
Salina Police Investigate Widespread ATM Fraud
SALINA, Kan. (AP) — Salina police are investigating a widespread bank card fraud in the area. Since Sunday, police have received 147 reports of compromised bank cards, all from Sunflower Bank Customers or people who used a Sunflower ATM machine. KSAL reports Salina Detective Sgt. David Villanueva says the reports started Sunday, when four people reported unauthorized cash withdrawals from their bank accounts. He says the thieves have stolen PIN codes and use those to withdraw the cash. The total amount of losses has not been released but investigators say some people lost thousands of dollars. Authorities say withdrawals using the stolen numbers have been reported in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and in Kansas City, Missouri.

Walk on The Wildside: Notes From the RSP Bunker
By Matt Waldman December 31, 2012 ( 5 )
Can you guess a person's native state by his name? Apparently my wife could with Cordarrelle Patterson. Happy New Year (photo by Nashville Corps).
It's been a productive summer and fall at the RSP Film Room. I am closing in on finishing play-by-play evaluations of 130 different skill position players as my winter vacation is ending and I thought I'd provide a few highlights of what I've seen this week. Most of this is lighthearted analysis in three short segments: My Readers Are Smart…But My Wife Might Be Smarter; Duke Johnson: Signs of a Waldman Family Apocalypse; and Big Nasty.
My Readers Are Smart…
I love when I write about one player and I get numerous questions about a different one. This happened with my analysis of Justin Hunter. The Tennessee wide receiver is a freakish talent, but potentially one of the riskiest players at the top of this draft class because of poor habits on both the practice field and on game day. My readers continued to ask me about his teammate Cordarrelle Patterson. I knew I'd eventually get to Patterson but I waited for my vacation because I figured I was going to see something fun and when I enjoy watching a player, I get so pumped up that I have trouble sleeping if I'm studying games at night. Patterson hasn't disappointed:
His 44-yard run after the catch for a 58-yard gain was just one of many like it. In fact, I wonder if Patterson's terrific instincts and vision in the open field are making Hunter try to do the same things – and fail miserably at it. Hunter is so gifted, I sometimes think he's trying to mimic his teammate and is in denial that he can't match Patterson.
But My Wife Might Be Smarter.
The best highlight of the night was probably what happened after my wife walked into the office, saw Patterson make this run, and asked me his name. When I told her, she said that with a name like that he's probably from South Carolina. Sure enough, Rock Hill, S.C.
I had to test her further.
"How about Stepfret Williams?"
"Definitely, from the South."
"Well yeah, but what state?"
"Probably the South a lot of folks up North are scared about – rural Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana."
Yep, Louisiana. If this were a game at a fair, we would have enough giant stuffed animals to start an E-Bay business if we weren't banned from the theme park altogether.
Duke Johnson: Signs of a Waldman Family Paradox
My wife went to school at UNC Chapel Hill. According to her, I have to say the Chapel Hill part or else I'm not qualifying it correctly. A native North Carolinian is particular about their UNCs. When I'm feeling like getting a rise out of her I bring up the Tar Hell-Blue Devil rivalry and it's the only time I get threats about divorce. [Editor's Note: This was a complete Freudian slip on my part. It is "Tar Heel." Unless of course, you're a Dukie.]
"Alicia, what if one of our kids wants to go to Duke?"
"No kid of ours will ever go to Duke. Why are you even asking me such a stupid question?"
"Wait a minute, you mean to tell me that if one of our kids earned a scholarship to Duke, they couldn't go?"
"Again, this is a dumb-ass question. Our kids will know that Duke is kidding itself when it says it's the Harvard of the South. Who says that? Harvard is Harvard. Stop. It's over. You haven't gotten in. If you have to describe yourself on the back of another school then you know what's really going on there."
"So what if our kid earned a basketball scholarship to Duke?"
"Our kid will earn an academic scholarship and will be smart enough to realize that most Duke ball players wind up playing in Europe."
"What if our kid chooses Duke because there is a specific program that few other schools of its quality offer?"
"Then you're gonna have to move out and live in Durham with them in an apartment and you ain't comin' back home, that's for sure."
With lines drawn like these, it stands to reason that the only "Duke" that I can mention in the house without risking a night on the couch is the one who shares my wife's maiden name and plays at my first university – Miami. Even so, when I invoke his name she gets a look on her face like I named a kid Hitler Rosenberg, or Hashtag Smith. If you haven't seen the freshman running back, check out these two touchdown runs against Boston College. You'll be hearing a lot about this ACC Freshman of The Year soon enough.
Johnson reminds me of that old East Carolina Johnson. Perhaps not as fast, but the new Miami version has even better balance.
Big Nasty
The tight end class might be the gem of the skill positions in the 2013 draft. Cincinnati Travis Kelce is one of many impressive prospects I've watched this year, including this weekend. He's one of the best blockers I've seen at the position and because Cincinnati runs a pistol offense, Kelce plays the H-Back role to perfection. His dimensions are Gronkowski-like and he's a big, aggressive, and nasty run blocker. He also has fluid athleticism and at 265 pounds, you don't see a tight end move like this unless he has starter potential in the NFL.
I know the Washington Redskins have Fred Davis, but as I mentioned to my Football Outsiders cohorts this weekend, if Washington wants to find a player who can take over if Davis' Achilles tear doesn't recover sufficiently, or he opts to sue himself and represent both parties in a court of law, Kelce would be a fantastic fit for Robert Griffin. Then the "Shanaclan," – as my buddy Bloom calls Mike and Kyle – can end the Niles Paul-tight end experiment and keep him as a receiver and kick return specialist.

7 Best Awesome Selfie Sticks 2023 – Review and Buying Guide
by goodtechaccessories
in CellPhone, Smartphone
The invention of smartphones has taken photography to the next level. If you have a smartphone with you, you are also carrying a good camera with you. Earlier, you needed someone's help to take your photo, something that couldn't happen instantly. But with the introduction of front-facing cameras, smartphone manufacturers found solutions for that too. Now you do not need somebody's help to take your photo.
Amazon's Choice
Fugetek 48" Compact Selfie Stick & Tripod, Extendable, Wireless Bluetooth Remote, Lightweight...
You can get your favorite face captured instantly. Still, there was a concern that you cannot focus it as you could with the rear camera; and if you are taking a group photo, your hands were not long enough to capture everybody in the frame. The remedy for this was the invention of selfie sticks.
Ever since the first selfie stick was released in the market, it has gained remarkable popularity. Being priced significantly lower, they've taken the market by storm. Young and old alike have learned to use the selfie stick with elan. If you have not got one already, it's time you did. To make matters easy, we bring you reviews of 7 awesome selfie sticks that you can choose from. We hope this tiny endeavor of ours will help you make the right choice.
1. Perfectday Bluetooth Selfie Sticks
The Perfectday Bluetooth Selfie stick is a wireless foldable selfie stick that works using Bluetooth technology. The built-in Bluetooth remote control allows you to click photos with a wider range. This amazing Selfie stick comes with a 270-degree adjustable head and the mount connecting the head has a 180 degrees arc. Both these features coupled together give you greater degrees of freedom enabling you to click photos from different angles and ranges using the built-in remote shutter.
This device works fine with iPhone 6s, 6, 6 Plus, 5, 5s, 5c as well as many Android smartphones. The battery once fully charged can stay 3 days on standby and on use, it should last good 3 hours. There is a charging cable included in the box that can be used to charge the battery.
We tried our hands on this and upon constant use, the battery lasted a little over 2 hours and 40 minutes. Its small size ensures that it fits well within your pocket. It is lightweight as well, so carrying it around would not be a problem. You would be amazed by the compact nature of this device, and still, you can expand it to use it whenever the need arises. From being a modest 7.1 inch when folded this gadget gets as long as 32 inches when expanded. The absence of wires makes it shackle-free and easily portable.
Just place your phone on the holder, sync it with the selfie stick and press the button on the stick! The mobile holder is wide enough to even accommodate a Galaxy Note 3 (over 3.2 inches). I mean it works fine with Phablets as well. The grip of the selfie stick is good and spares you the jitters of dropping it. This would be a practical choice if you are looking for a compact, Bluetooth-enabled monopod selfie stick.
2. Spigen Wired Selfie Stick (SGP11799) [Battery Free]
Spigen Wired Selfie stick is listed to be compatible with iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy S7, Samsung S7 Edge, Google Nexus 6P, LG G5 and many other android smartphone models. It has an extendable handheld stick and an adjustable holder, while being ultra-compact as well. It fits well with smartphones that are 3.26 inch wide.
The advantage with the wired Selfie stick is that you do not have to bother to recharge the batteries. It also spares you the risk of missing out on capturing a crucial moment, due to low power or signal fluctuation. The flip side is that you have to take care of the cables. The grip on the handle is rubberized which gives it a solid feel. Clicking a pic using this selfie stick was less complicated. All you had to do was connect the cable to the audio jack of your smartphone, pose and shoot. The best feature of this selfie stick is its compact and lightweight nature. There is no excess baggage (battery charger) that you would have to carry otherwise.
3. Fugetek FT-568 Selfie Sticks
Fugetek FT-568 is a Professional High-End Selfie stick For Apple phones, Android smartphones, Gopro actions cameras, and DLSR Cameras. It works on the Wireless Bluetooth Remote connectivity. It sports an all-aluminum body and comes with two interchangeable phone mounts. One mount comes with a lock and is extendable to 4.2 inches, the other features a mirror for your rear HD camera.
This is a premium product that comes with a detachable Bluetooth remote. The handle is extendable till almost 49 inches. The rechargeable battery takes just 1 hour to get fully charged while delivering a standby time of about 300 hours. The manufacturer claims that the device is compatible with Android versions 4.3 and later.
When we tried using this selfie stick we were impressed by the length of the stick. The pictures clicked would not look like a selfie. It would almost look as it was taken from a long-range. The grip is very well done and there is no hint of any slippage while using it. Of the two mounts one comes with a spring and the other with a screw to secure the phone. Here is a selfie stick that can hold even a DSLR camera.
Such is the sturdiness of this selfie stick. Add to that a mirror to ensure that the DSLR captures the right frame. The remote control with the switches is detachable and the buttons on it can be used to zoom in and out while using an android smartphone. What's more, it can be attached to a mini-tripod. Well, this one would be the ultimate selfie stick for all those selfie freaks who do not mind carrying that extra bit to ensure that they get the best out of every snap they take.
4. Anker Bluetooth Monopod
Anker Bluetooth Monopod is an Extendable selfie stick with Built-in Remote Shutter for your smartphones. This comes with a silicone-rubber handle and an extendable metal (stainless steel) selfie stick. The manufacturer claims that this device has a 20-hour battery life and the extendable arm can be as long as 31 inches. The device works well with any iPhone and Android (4.0 and later) smartphone that has a width between 2.2 inches and 3.3 inches. There is a 270-degree angle to maneuver the head for capturing that perfect picture.
We found this selfie stick to be quite well designed. It felt quite sturdy to hold while being light at the same time. The stainless steel extender arm looked strong enough to hold even heavy phones without the slightest bend. The Bluetooth remote was quite user-friendly with indicators for various states. A steady blue color indicates that it is connected to a device. If the blue light blinks, the device is in pairing mode; if it flashes every 3 seconds – low battery. Charging mode is indicated by a steady red light that goes off when fully charged.
5. Amya Wired Selfie Stick
The Amya Wired Selfie Stick is a battery-free, wired device that is compatible with iPhone SE/6S/6S Plus/6/6 Plus/5S/ GalaxyS7/ Galaxy S7 Edge/ Nexus 6p/ LG G5 and many other android devices. It is a typical plug-and-play design wherein all you have to do is fix the smartphone in the holder, connect the cord to the audio jack and start clicking! This is super compact weighing just 125 grams and can be folded as well. Its length can be adjusted from 7.1 inches to 30 inches while the holder's head has a free play of 270 degrees.
The battery free selfie sticks are quite simple, but effective and this one is no exception. You can continue taking countless clicks as along as your smartphone permits without any worry about the charge of your selfie stick running out. We tried this on a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and it worked perfectly. The phone sat well in the holder and there was no scare of it falling off. The extender worked pretty well too. You need to be careful with the wire though!
6. GIYA Wired Selfie Stick
The GIYA Wired Selfie Stick has a Battery Free operation and is compatible with iPhone SE/6S/6S Plus/6/6 Plus/5S/ GalaxyS7/ Galaxy S7 Edge/ Nexus 6p/ LG G5, Moto X and other Android smartphones. The holder can accommodate devices as wide as 3 inches. The extender arm enables you to click from a distance of 7.5 inches to 22 inches. There is an anti-slip foam coating that prevents the smartphones from falling off while ensuring that there are no scratches on it. The rotating switch can be used to swivel the head up to an angle of 270 degrees to get that perfect shot that you are looking for.
We tried this selfie stick with our iPhone 6S Plus and found it to be quite sturdy. There was never a moment where we feared that the phone would fall off. There were enough angles to use the selfie stick and the operation was quite simple.
7. KobraTech Tripod Stand – TriFlex Mini
Here is a Tripod stand with a Bluetooth remote that can be easily carried anywhere. The tripod stand can be placed on any even surface. If you do not find an even surface to place it you can still tie it up to a lamp post or any other steady stand. The phone mount is claimed to be universally compatible with smartphones of any size – the iPhone 6, 6S+, 5, 4, Samsung Galaxy S6, S5, S4, Note 5 and many more. The phone holder can hold phones as wide as 3.74 inches.
This is an amazing gadget that can be used as a monopod selfie stick as well as a Tripod stand. It includes a Bluetooth remote as a separate unit. We first tried the tripod stand. The phone mount had a rotating ball joint that helped us take photos from different angles. The tripod legs can be bent almost 360 degrees for different angles and heights while keeping the unit totally stable. In fact, you can even install the tripod stand on the handrest of a chair! It does not get any better than this. If you are looking for a comprehensive selfie stick that can also act as a tripod stand, this is the best choice.
This sums up our review on the best selfie sticks. While some are wired, others are Bluetooth enabled; each carrying its own advantages. Now, it's your decision to make on owning one or more of these awesome gadgets.

Join me in celebrating Festivus, as I air my 2018 grievances following another abysmal loss by the New York Mets.
Baseball is funny. One day you are off to the best start in franchise history. Another sees you drop a game to the worst team in the American League. It's been a rough couple of weeks for the New York Mets.
First, we watched them drop a series to the lowly Miami Marlins and get pummeled by the Milwaukee Brewers. More recently, the Chicago Cubs dished out some serious payback for the 2015 NLCS, sweeping the Mets in a four-game set at Citi Field last weekend.
On Tuesday night, the Amazins' took on the Baltimore Orioles who sent Alex Cobb to the mound to face Jason Vargas. Despite Cobb possessing an ERA north of six, the Mets only managed to squeeze one run across on a Jose Bautista sacrifice fly. They dropped the contest by a score of 2-1 and if you could measure the temperature of my blood right now, it would be well above boiling.
For all my Seinfeld enthusiasts out there, The Costanza family had an interesting way of celebrating the holidays. Because Frank Costanza hated all of the commercial and religious aspects of Christmas, he invented his own holiday…Festivus.
From the metal pole to the feats of strengths, there were many interesting aspects of the very holiday that ruined George's childhood. But the most important of them all was the airing of grievances. Festivus may not occur for another six months, but as the Mets sit comfortably four games below .500, I would like to take a moment to air some of my grievances.
With the sixth pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, the Mets selected Jarred Kelenic, an outfielder out of Waukesha West High School in Wisconsin. The 18-year-old outfielder was arguably one of the top prep school bats in the draft and seems to have legitimate five-tool potential.
Regardless of what happens, he will be a name hard pressed to forget anytime soon after dropping a cringe-worthy rendition of Demi Lovato's "Heart Attack" on us in his introductory video on MLB Network. The pick is eerily reminiscent of the selection of Brandon Nimmo back in 2011, a sentiment that Tommy Tanous, Mets director of amateur scouting, reinforced when addressing the media following the pick.
Here's the rub. As Newsday's Laura Albanese reported, Kelenic still has a ways to go in terms of developing his power. Additionally, we learned from Brian Sakowski of Perfect Game USA that the Wisconsin-native might be a better fit as a corner outfielder long term. Just once, I would like to see the Mets draft a center field prospect that actually projects to stay in center field. Organizationally speaking, I think this team has enough corner outfielders.
Ultimately, the Mets draft strategy was thrown for a loop when Florida third baseman Jonathan India came off the board one pick earlier, but it's hard to look into a crystal ball and predict what kind of player an 18-year-old will be at 23.
Obviously, every draft pick brings an infinite amount of variables to the equation, but you cannot ignore the fact that there is an inherent advantage in drafting players that are more physically mature. The last three high school bats the Met selected in the first round were Dominic Smith (2013), Gavin Cecchini (2012), and Nimmo (2011). Both Smith and Cecchini look as if their major league futures will leave a lot to be desired. Nimmo is finally starting to pan out at the major league level, but it took him seven years to get to that point.
I really hope we do not have to wait that long to see Jarred Kelenic producing at the major league level.
Maybe Ray Ramirez wasn't the problem after all.
Despite parting ways with a trainer often referred to as Dr. Kevorkian, the Mets are still finding themselves decimated by injuries once again. Yoenis Cespedes, Todd Frazier, Anthony Swarzak, Kevin Plawecki, Travis d'Arnaud, Juan Lagares, Wilmer Flores, Hansel Robles, and Jacob deGrom have all dealt with at least one stint on the disabled list since the season began.
Is it me or is this a little bit insane? Injuries are a natural occurrence in the league, but it feels like the Mets always fall victim and are forced to field a minor league lineup.
The Mets are also notorious for mishandling their players when they go down injured. Just look at what happened with deGrom a few weeks ago. After hyperextending his elbow, the Mets expected him to be out six weeks before pivoting and saying he's fine. Then, he winds up on the DL only a few days later. This team really needs to get it together and change the way they approach injury prevention and rehabilitation.
I have one friend who is never going to let me live this down. Before Spring Training started, I strongly advocated for the Mets to bring back Jay Bruce because he represented adding a legitimate major league bat to the lineup. In 2017, he was one of this team's best hitters before he was shipped off to Cleveland. When the Mets did, in fact, sign him to a three-year, $39 million pact, I thought it was a bargain.
Turns out, I could not have been more wrong. Bruce has been abysmal in 2018. The only thing more painful than watching him labor around right field has been stomaching his lack of offensive productivity. At least Bruce isn't naive to his own struggles.
Since entering the league in 2008, Bruce has averaged 27.7 home runs across 10 big league seasons. With only three on the year more than a third through the season, it feels like we would be lucky to get 12 out of him.
Pretend that Yoenis Cespedes is healthy for a moment. What incentive does Mickey Callaway have to play Bruce at this point? You wouldn't sit Conforto or Cespedes in favor of Bruce and you're not keeping Brandon Nimmo on the bench with a .421 OBP.
A .635 OPS is just not going to cut it for $13 million a year. Jay Bruce, I am begging you to turn it around so that I don't look like a complete buffoon for campaigning for your return.
Can Somebody Please Help deGrom?
Watching Jacob deGrom pitch is fun. Watching the Mets' bullpen blow a dominant deGrom outing is not fun.
There is no reason why the National League leader in ERA (1.49) should have only four wins more than a third of the way through the season. When your ace is boasting an ERA+ of 253, it is laughable to discover that the Mets are only 5-7 in deGrom starts. Sadly, this feels like Johan Santana all over again.
In 2018, the Mets have averaged 3.73 runs per deGrom start. That number could stand to be a little higher, but ultimately, the offense isn't the problem here. The Mets are no stranger to bullpen ineffectiveness and inconsistency, but it feels as if the majority of it comes whenever they are asked to back deGrom.
If this team has any hope to turn things around, they have to immediately stop wasting excellent outings from their ace. Honestly, I never thought I'd see the days where we would start entertaining trade talks surrounding deGrom, but you have to wonder if he is better served elsewhere.
If deGrom was receiving the proper support, we could be looking at a hands down Cy Young contender. Instead, we can only imagine what could have been if the Amazins' provided just a little bit more support.
Utterly ridiculous. Those are the only words I can scrounge together to sum up my feelings on Jose Reyes still being on this team's 25-man roster.
Reyes is a shell of his former self. A decade ago we had the privilege of watching Jose Reyes run the basepaths like a bat out of hell and wow us all with stellar defense at short. The 2018 version of Reyes features a guy who cannot hit for contact, hit for power, play defense, or run well. Hey, at least he still has a pretty good throwing arm, right?
With a putrid slash line of .141/.208/.197, the 34-year-old is a black hole on the Amazins' roster. To make matters worse, Reyes couldn't do the one thing this team desperately needed him to do over the past few weeks — play an adequate third base.
There is no longer any upside to having him on the bench. I admit, I truly believed that entering this season Reyes had some productive baseball left in his bones, but I am fully ready to concede that I was wrong. Cut him immediately. And for the record, no player accused of putting his hands on his wife should be welcomed to this organization with open arms.
And for the record, Festivus does not end until somebody pins me. Let the feats of strength begin. Mark your calendars for December 23.

Facts about Jane Fonda
Jane Fonda is 82 years old
Born: December 21, 1937
Birthplace: New York City, New York, United States
Best known as: Outspoken Oscar-winning actress and Ted Turner's ex-wife

Jane Fonda Biography
Jane Fonda is the two-time Oscar-winning actress who has starred in Klute, On Golden Pond and dozens of other films in a career lasting more than 50 years.
The daughter of screen legend Henry Fonda (and the sister of actor Peter Fonda), Jane Fonda got her start in the movies with the forgotten 1960 comedy Tall Story. A decade later she was a movie star in her own right, having gone from the sex kitten in 1968's Barbarella to an Oscar-winning role as a mysterious call girl in the detective drama Klute (1971, directed by Alan Pakula). Seven years later she won another Oscar for her role in the Vietnam War drama Coming Home (1978).
Jane Fonda was also famous as an outspoken opponent of U.S. involvement in Vietnam in the 1970s. She made a highly publicized 1972 trip to Hanoi, denouncing U.S. policy and earning the uncomplimentary nickname "Hanoi Jane" — a stunt she never lived down. She married political activist Tom Hayden in 1973 and backed his run for the U.S. Senate in 1976, but their turbulent marriage ended in 1990.
In the 1980s she suddenly had a new career as an exercise guru, starring in and producing a long series of "Jane Fonda's Workout" exercise videos and books. She married media mogul Ted Turner in 1991 and semi-retired from the movies. They separated in 2000 and Fonda filed for divorce in April of 2001.
Jane Fonda's other films include The China Syndrome (1979, with Jack Lemmon), 9 to 5 (1980, with Dolly Parton), Stanley and Iris (1990, with Robert DeNiro), Monster-in-Law (2005, with Jennifer Lopez), Peace, Love and Misnderstanding (2011) and The Butler (2013, with Fonda playing former First Lady Nancy Reagan). She also had a late-career boost from series television, starring in The Newsroom (2012-14) and Grace and Frankie (2015-17, with Lily Tomlin).
She was given a Life Achievement Award by the American Film Institute in 2014.
In a 2017 interview with actress Brie Larson for the Net-a-Porter website, Jane Fonda said: "To show you the extent to which a patriarchy takes a toll on females – I've been raped, I've been sexually abused as a child and I've been fired because I wouldn't sleep with my boss and I always thought it was my fault; that I didn't do or say the right thing." Fonda didn't describe the incidents in detail.

With a dusting of snow right before the CCISDA conference began, the setting could not have been more iconic for the 2017 "Spring" CCISDA Conference, North Lake Tahoe. CCISDA, the California County Information Services Directors Association could not have picked a better location. Tech employees representing the 58 counties of California along with many vendors, resellers, and strategic partners met in the Olympic Valley to collaborate and network with their technology professional peers. A long time strategic partner of California local governments, Eaton & Associates took a very active role in the conference with a Co-Exhibit and event sponsorship with our partner Granicus including a full conference presentation about how Eaton & Associates defines a true partnership.
Eaton & Associates and Granicus have teamed-up! Granicus (the industry's leading cloud-based solutions for communications, meeting and agenda management) and Eaton & Associates co-exhibited at CCISDA 2017 Spring Conference.

The Eaton and Granicus teams thoroughly enjoyed interacting with CCISDA members and appreciated the opportunity to network with industry professionals.
Eaton & Associates was honored to have the opportunity to present at the first CCISDA Ignite session defining what partnership means to our organization. John Eaton, President of Eaton & Associates walked the audience through our personal approach to business in which Eaton & Associates views our clients not as just customers, but partners. "It's in our DNA… communication, commitment, experience, and flexibility. Eaton & Associates strives to develop beneficial partnerships with our clients rather than focusing mainly on transactions". The fast 5-minute Ignite presentation format set the stage for Eaton & Associates to introduce the Eaton team to county representatives across California.
The CCISDA Spring Conference 2017 was by far one of the most collaborative and engaging conferences the Eaton & Associates team has attended in recent years. There's a strong comradery between the counties and vendors all with the main goal of making their communities better by using the best technology and best practices shared at the conference. The Eaton & Associates team is looking forward to more involvement with CCSIDA and to continuing to grow our partnerships with more counties in California.

Q: Redirect Output of Composer Install to Text File I am using composer in part of a project setup workflow. Each part of the setup will log its results and any other relevant info to file. I am having trouble capturing the output of composer install. When I run composer install directly from the command line the packages are correctly installed and I see the output in the command window. When I run it from a cmd file the packages are installed but the output is not saved to file, however, other composer commands (-V, help etc.) do have their output saved to file.
I know the help and -V commands do not need to cd but I left that in the test1 and test2 cmd files to rule out that had anything to do with the issue.
The following are the contents and results of a few .cmd files.
test1.cmd
@ECHO OFF
cd "C:\path\to\project"
composer -V > test1.txt

test1.txt contents
Composer version 1.2.1 2016-09-12 11:27:19

test2.cmd
@ECHO OFF
cd "C:\path\to\project"
composer help > test2.txt

test2.txt contents
Usage:
  help [options] [--] [<command_name>]

Arguments:
  command                        The command to execute
  command_name                   The command name [default: "help"]

Options:
      --xml                      To output help as XML

...truncated

test3.cmd
@ECHO OFF
cd "C:\path\to\project"
composer install > test3.txt

test3.txt is created but is an empty 0 kb file.
Why can I capture the output of some composer commands but not the install command? What is different about that particular command?

A: In bash: composer install --no-ansi &>log

A: In my case, the Composer output was writing to STDERR rather than STDOUT, so piping directly to a file like this resulted in no output:
composer update --no-scripts >> out.txt
By adding 2>&1 to redirect the STDERR stream into the file, I was able to get the output I needed into the file.
composer update --no-scripts >> out.txt 2>&1

A: Since the question seems to be based on Windows and running composer from a batch script:
The composer batch script will quit a calling parent batch script, so you need to call composer with %comspec% /c composer from your batch script to avoid this.
To remove ansi output on Windows and redirect output to a log file, run:
%comspec% /c composer --no-ansi --no-interaction install >>composer.log 2>&1
You can also find your local composer.bat and edit the line php "%~dp0composer.phar" %* to be php "%~dp0composer.phar" %* --no-ansi
Depending on what scripts are called, there still may be ansi output if the scripts do not obey the --no-ansi option passed to composer. For example, in Laravel, it will still generate optimized autoload scripts and echo ansi output to the console even when calling composer --no-ansi install, when it runs php artisan package:discover --ansi.

Check out 18 quirky Arabic mehndi designs for monsoon weddings and other festive occasions!
This monsoon shower, decorate your hands with aromatic, beautiful, and quirky Arabic mehndi designs. Whether it is a pre-wedding function or a festival being celebrated in your family with much fervor, just apply mehndi and flaunt it in style. Unlike more intricate and elaborate patterns which are apt for a bride, opt for something more minimalistic, flamboyant and versatile, that is easy to wear, quick to dry-off and glamorous to look at. Yes! We are talking about Arabic mehndi style.
The motifs and symbols represented in Arabic mehndi design are usually floral. Flowers and leaves are arranged over a certain pattern and have thick outlines. The best part is that the entire look is very traditional but has a modern twist to it. One can also go for multiple floral motifs to fill the palm. Starting with the index finger, you can make few half angular flowers and complete the pattern with full flower motifs which ascend in size as you reach the center of the palm. Why I prefer Arabic mehndi design is primarily due to the fact that it is easy to apply, looks absolutely stunning and neat on hands. Moreover, it is amazingly suitable for any occasion. Besides, Arabic mehndi can be done at home as well. These simple designs are very much suitable for the teenage girls who are feeling quirky. It is very simple since there is no hard work of shading or adding intricate patterns on your palms.
Big tikkis in the center or just about a floral string on the fingers, or how about a mesh at the back of the palm or moon and stars on the wrist? Wow! You can also go for hearts, squares, triangles and circles ;). Heart and round shapes have a special importance in a mehndi design mainly when it is applied on a wedding function. Customize it as per your needs and moods. You can add more motifs or patterns to give it more heavy look.


Uzo Aduba, Viola Davis and Regina King.
Three black actresses owned the night at the 2015 Emmy Awards, winning in major categories and making history in the process. What they represented, however, was something much bigger — hope for a more diverse Hollywood.
King notched an unexpected, but well-deserved win for supporting actress in a miniseries or a movie for her work on American Crime. Aduba landed her second Emmy for Orange is the New Black, making history by being the only actress to win in two genres (both comedy and drama) for the same role.
And then there was Viola Davis, who became the first black actress to win the best lead actress in a drama category — 67 years after the Emmys began. Though the win alone was historic, Davis heightened the moment by opening her speech with a quote from Harriet Tubman.
"In my mind, I see a line," she said. "And over that line I see green fields and lovely flowers and beautiful white women with their arms stretched out to me over that line. But I can't seem to get there no how."
You're over that line now, Davis.
The poetry and eerie timelessness of Tubman's quote resonated powerfully with women of color everywhere, who have long felt ignored by Hollywood — in terms of both nominations and, as Davis pointed out, the scarcity of roles for women of color to begin with. But this year's Emmys saw the representation of black women as winners essentially triple — likely inspiring thousands of young women and children of color who yearn to see themselves on screen.
But of course, it wouldn't be a proper awards show without some drama.
Not everyone could simply revel in the historic night. Actress Nancy Lee Grahn began trending on Twitter after sending a series of misguided tweets about Davis's win.
Though Grahn, a Daytime Emmy winner for acting on General Hospital, backtracked and sent out numerous apologies following the Twitter baclkash, the damage was done. Hours later, she is still a trending Twitter topic.
Grahn's tweets represent the kind of twisted thinking that has kept women of color back for decades, pushed farther and farther from Tubman's metaphorical line. They sound like something that might've been said by the white woman Tubman cited — arms outstretched, with no intention of actually helping.
In saying that she wants equality for "all women," Grahn shows a steep ignorance that assumes women of color have had the same opportunities as white actresses. For Grahn to think that way — and to say also tweeted that Davis has "never been discriminated against") — is not only disingenuous, but also oblivious to the obstacles actresses like Davis have had to overcome.
And does Grahn truly wish she were being offered the same roles as Davis? The Juilliard-trained Emmy winner only recently began starring in projects worthy of her caliber. To hear Davis describe her career is to hear someone who loves acting for acting's sake — because she certainly hasn't had an easy path.
"I've been in this business 35 years, and 27 years professionally," Davis told reporters backstage at the Emmys. "I'm the journeyman actor that you saw in one scene here, two scenes there. I've been eking out a living doing theater, Broadway, off-Broadway, film, supporting roles…I'm just excited to be part of the conversation. I've seen the unemployment line a lot."
And that's coming from a two-time Oscar nominee.
In addition, it's important to acknowledge that the night's big wins showed only a small margin of diversity in the grand scheme of things. Representation of Native, Asian, Latino and LGBT actors and actresses is still pitifully low. Davis, Aduba and King's wins are vessels, in this respect, breaking down barriers that stand between diverse actors and the recognition they deserve.
To sum it up, Davis perfectly nailed the lack of representation for all women of color with a sharp quote in her acceptance speech.
"The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity," she said. "You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there."


Drop-in art evenings, organized by Blue Heron Gallery owner Kitty Doyle, are "an informal gathering for people to do their own thing," she said.
Adult and teenage artists of all skill levels are welcome, in any medium, and will bring their own supplies and ideas. "Even if we just sit and talk about art that's good too," Doyle said.
The first drop-in art evening took place March 9. Future art evenings are planned for April 13 and 20 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Gulf Road community center and will continue on the second and third Thursdays of the month. There will be a snack break at 7 p.m.

Move closer to the object of your picture, and you will get a better shot. If you get closer to your subject you can frame it, and focus on it. If you are taking a portrait, getting closer allows you to notice facial expressions and other details. If your subject is not close, you tend to miss many of the little details.
Test varying shutter speeds to learn which speed works best for certain scenarios. One of the beautiful things about photography is that it lets you freeze a split-second scene or fuse together extended periods of time. In general, fast shutter speed work best for action shots, whereas slow shutter speeds are ideal for shooting still-lifes, landscapes and other static images.
A dSLR is an essential tool for you. This is the digital version of the venerable single-lens reflex instrument, the professional tool that shows you exactly what the camera sees as it takes a picture. The largest image sensors are available in the full frame DSLR, which gives you the highest level of detail to your exposures.
If taking pictures with people in them, blur the background slightly. If your background isn't blurred, it may draw the viewer's eye to the background and away from the subject. If you put some distance between your background and your subject, it helps viewers focus on the subject of your photograph.
If your batteries are fully charged, you never risk missing the perfect shot. Because digital cameras drain their batteries pretty fast, it's important that you start the day with a full charge. You will want to carry extra camera batteries with to be prepared for any shot.
The tips offered here have shared important information about photography. Having read this article, you are now better prepared to start taking some photographs of your own, or to improve the quality of the shots you take.

«Турбо пацан» () — канадо-новозеландский постапокалиптический комедийный боевик 2015 года режиссёров Франсуа Симара, Ануки Висселль и Йоанн-Карла Висселля. Премьера состоялась 26 января 2015 года на кинофестивале «Сандэнс». Фильм получил премию «Сатурн», а также множество наград различных региональных фестивалей.

Сюжет
Альтернативный 1997 год. Человеческое общество пережило некий глобальный кризис. Выжившие люди вынуждены бороться за единственную ценность — питьевую воду. Фильм повествует о парне-подростке, который живёт в одиночестве в бункере в месте называемом «Пустошь». На этой территории правит деспотичный головорез по имени Зевс, который обладает устройством, способным выжимать из людей воду. Всё своё время парень занят лишь тем, что лазит по различным развалинам в поисках чего-нибудь ценного, а свои находки он выменивает у старьёвщика на питьевую воду. Однажды пацан, сидя на пустыре на детской площадке и читая комиксы про Турбо гонщика, встречает девушку по имени Эппл. Парень пугается её странного поведения и агрессивных попыток подружиться. Он прячется от неё в своём бункере, но девушке удаётся проникнуть и туда.

Пацан учит Эппл правилам выживания в пустоши, а также находит ей шлем и оружие. Во время их совместной вылазки Эппл похищают люди Зевса, парню же удаётся спастись. Прячась, он случайно находит останки настоящего Турбо гонщика. Пацан примеряет на себя его костюм и снаряжение в виде супер оружия. Теперь, став Турбо пацаном, он отправляется в логово Зевса для спасения Эппл. В это время Фредерик, ковбой и чемпион по армрестлингу, попадает в плен к Зевсу, когда пытается спасти своего брата. Зевс бросает Фредерика к Эппл на арену, где они должны сражаться за свою жизнь, иначе будут переработаны в воду. В это время здесь появляется Турбо пацан, у которого однако не получается использовать своё супер оружие из-за низкого заряда батареи. Таким образом, его также бросают на арену. Сообща Фредерик, Эппл и пацан одолевают людей Зевса.

После того, как Эппл удаётся пережить выстрел, пацан обнаруживает, что она робот. Эппл успокаивает его, объясняя, что она добрый робот. Тем не менее, у неё повреждены внутренние механизмы и через некоторое время, когда закончатся все сердечки, она выключится. Парень отправляется к старьёвщику за необходимыми деталями. Старьёвщик советует искать нужные детали на кладбище роботов. В это время люди Зевса отправляются в погоню за пацаном и Эппл. Скелетрон, один из главных приближённых Зевса, обезглавливает девушку-робота. Пацан же оказывается без сознания на токсичном кладбище роботов, однако прежде он успевает присоединить голову Эппл к другому телу. Парня вытаскивает оттуда Фредерик, который оказался там случайно, когда искал для себя новую руку и какое-нибудь оружие. Фредерик нашёл на кладбище турбо-мега-бластер.

По пути они встречают Скелетрона, а затем самого Зевса и всю банду. Пацан как раз вспоминает, что Зевс это тот человек, который убил его родителей, когда он был ещё ребёнком. В это время Фредерик запускает таймер на турбо-мега-бластере. Ожидая взрыва Фредерик и Турбо пацан вступают в бой с головорезами Зевса, а позже к ним присоединяется и включившаяся и нашедшая их Эппл. Турбо пацан использует против Зевса супер оружие своего костюма, но оно не причиняет тому вреда, поскольку Зевс оказывается роботом. Турбо пацану всё же удаётся уничтожить Зевса при помощи турбо-мега-бластера. Происходит сильный взрыв. Эппл спасает пацана, закрыв его своим телом, но погибает сама. В результате взрыва в земле образуется трещина, из которой поднимается огромный фонтан пресной воды.

После того, как пацан хоронит Эппл, он решает покинуть эти места и отправиться исследовать другую сторону пустоши.

While bullying might seem like it occurs without rhyme or reason, it often follows similar and predictable patterns. This cycle can be brutally self-perpetuating at times and also incredibly difficult to stop as a victim, bystander, or even as an adult.
The good news is that because bullies do often act predictably, the pathway to putting an end to their behavior becomes much more manageable once we understand the life cycle of bullying.
As there is so many different forms of bullying, it can also begin many different ways. Online, it can take the form of social media shaming or spreading rumors about others in group chats. In-person, it can be physical victimization at school or during sports, hazing, or intimidation. It can also be more indirect, such as with gossip and social exclusion.
The reasons bullying begins are equally diverse. Sometimes it's a matter of 'monkey-see-monkey-do', as in hanging around other bullies and then mimicking that behavior. Similarly, being neglected at home can result in a teen acting out simply because they crave attention or feel the need to pass down the same sort of verbal abuse they hear at home. Often, it's due to insecurity, and the bully's behavior is a reaction to the threat of others finding out they are filled with fear and weakness.
According to the Pacer National Bullying Prevention Center, 25% of all students will experience bullying during their academic careers.
While no kids are exempt from the risk of being bullied, the favorite victims of bullies are those that are sensitive, socially withdrawn, physically weak, anxious, passive, or that have poor self-esteem. These groups tend not to be retaliatory, another reason why kids with disabilities are 2-3x more likely to be bullied than their peers. As of 2013, more than 74% of LGBT students reported being bullied because of their sexual orientation.
Bullies crave reaction, be it from their victims, peers, or bystanders. And when bullies get a reaction they find desirable without any sort of negative repercussion, this further incentivizes them to continue their bullying behavior. The control they are able to exert over others also fuels continued bullying behavior.
Conversely, bullies who don't achieve their desired reaction or who are confronted by adults and/or peers who stand up for the person being bullied typically back down and either change their behavior or move on to other targets.
Bullying affects victims in myriad physical, emotional, and mental ways. Victims of bullying often have lower self-esteem, may withdraw socially, or become more anxious. These are the same traits bullies target to begin with, which makes victims even more vulnerable to continued bullying. Victims can then also have difficulty concentrating at school or practice due to fear of being bullied again, or due to replaying previous incidences over in their head.
All these things can lead to a downward spiral in which a victim becomes depressed and their school work, athletic performance, and even personality and outlook on life are negatively impacted.
Once bullied, victims may engage in a number of different coping mechanisms. Sometimes these are healthy, such as reaching out for help, seeking strength in numbers, or supporting anti-bullying programs.
But more commonly a young person's coping mechanisms are forms of avoidance, like coming up with reasons to miss school or practice, becoming more socially withdrawn, downplaying the effect bullying is having on them, or even starting to bully others.
As long as a bully feels powerful and in control, they'll continue bullying a victim (or multiple) as long as there are no negative repurcussions. Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet solution to stopping bullying and it may take a variety of different methods to truly bring it to an end.
It's important for victims to realize being bullied is not their fault. It is similarly important for schools, sports organizations, and parents to realize stopping the bullying is not the responsibility of the person being bullied. The most effective anti-bullying interventions originate with adults and institutions like schools and sports clubs. While kids being bullied should be encouraged to seek help, seek safety in numbers, stand up for themselves, and even avoid situations where the risk of being bullied is highest, comprehensive anti-bullying programs led and supported by adults key to protecting all kids.
Although bystanders may not want to interfere as to avoid becoming a target themselves, intervening in a bullying situation can play a crucial role in ending it. Intervening can be done directly, such as by expressing disapproval, defending the victim, or otherwise changing the situation to distract the bully. In group situations, just one person standing up for another can often be enough to encourage others to join in. Indirectly, bystanders can also go tell a trusted adult (a parent, teacher, or coach) who can influence on the situation.
Parents and coaches should take the time to learn from bullying prevention resources like those at Pacer to figure out how they can best help their child. Often the best solutions involve talking with and supporting the child, and meeting with the school to come up with solutions if bullying persists.


Dry Mouth Disorder is a problem that influences countless individuals worldwide. There are lots of causes, nonetheless medical conditions and certain prescription medication are typically one of the most cause.
A person affected with this condition does not have a sufficient salivary flow. With a reduction in saliva, the mouth and throat will certainly feel dry and parch.

The salivary glands might be harmed throughout a surgical intervention and also because of salivary rocks, similar to kidney stones. Then there is the impact of lifestyle aspects such as smoking, eating cigarette and alcohol intake that can likewise add to Dry Mouth Disorder, Alcohol, particularly, is really dehydrating. An inadequate intake of liquids, triggering dehydration is an additional possibility.
Cigarette smoking as well as eating cigarette have an impact on the amount of saliva manufacturing, which can trigger dry mouth signs and symptoms.

Julia Roberts gives 'harsh' eulogy at half-sister's memorial

Julia Roberts may have struggled to come to grips with half-sister Nancy Motes' suicide, but that didn't stop her from delivering a "harsh" eulogy at her memorial.
The Oscar winner, 46, allegedly shocked those in attendance when she laid into her estranged younger sibling during the May 3 service, reports The National Enquirer (via Radar).
"She said that after hearing everyone, she felt [ripped off] and pissed!" a source told the tabloid.
"Julia added that Nancy's … gone and not coming back," the source added. "Julia said that, as her sister, she just wanted to 'wring' her neck because she didn't wait to see the joy that comes with the morning."
As shocked as the crowd may have been at the "Pretty Woman" star's condemnation of her sister, what came next was even more bizarre: The actress reportedly said she was proud of what her sister had done.
According to the tabloid's source, Roberts said that "her sister took control and ended her pain when she had no other tools to cope with it … She said that she admired that she had the strength to do what she did, to end her pain."
Motes was found dead of an apparent drug overdose on Feb. 9.
In the weeks before her suicide, Roberts' half-sister lashed out at the actress on Twitter, calling her "cruel" and "a bitch." The half-sisters shared a tumultuous relationship — with Roberts accusing Motes of dishing to the press — but that hasn't made the news of her death any easier to accept.
"It's just heartbreak," she told WSJ magazine in an interview that ran last month. "It's only been 20 days. There aren't words to explain what any of us have been through in these last 20 days. It's hour by hour some days, but you just keep looking ahead."

Brighton's only six losses have been to state-ranked teams.
BRIGHTON — Only the best volleyball teams in the state have been able to knock off Brighton this season.
The Bulldogs avoided the pitfalls that come with a rivalry match, knocking off Howell, 25-19, 25-22, 25-17 Tuesday night.
Brighton improved to 25-6-4, with all six losses coming against state-ranked opponents. The Bulldogs have lost twice to No. 5 Northville and once each to No. 2 Farmington Hills Mercy, No. 8 Rochester Hills Stoney Creek, No. 10 Novi and No. 3 (Division 2) North Branch.
The Bulldogs haven't received recognition in the state rankings, but their focus is on earning respect when it matters most — in the postseason. They have less than three weeks to prepare for the district tournament at Hartland, which begins Oct. 29.
The one set of bleachers that was pulled out was packed, with a large Brighton student section and a drum line adding to the atmosphere for the teams' annual military-themed fundraiser to benefit veterans.
Through the sale of T-shirts and a "Miracle Minute" donation in the stands, the teams raised $4,000.
Howell was chasing the scoreboard the entire night, battling back from early deficits, but unable to pull out a game.
Brighton jumped out to a 10-3 lead in the first game. Howell battled back to tie it, 16-16, but the Bulldogs responded with the next four points to regain control.
In the second game, Brighton scored the first three points. The game was tied four times before Howell took its first lead of the match, 13-12. Down 16-15, Brighton scored seven straight points.
After Brighton took a 10-2 lead in the third game, Howell was unable to get closer than four points.
Celia Cullen had 10 kills and three aces for Brighton. Shantellie Hickinson had six kills.
Marisa Poma had nine assists and two aces for Howell, while Reegan Crowley had four kills.

Rock garden in Malvan is a best place to relax on the rocks and enjoy the calm of the sea side. A well landscaped malvan rock garden is also one of the popular places located at half kilometer distance from Malvan jetty near Arase Mahal.
This garden offers a fantastic view of the wide spread Chivala beach. Unlike other gardens this garden is unique in its nature since there is no sand but a carpet of huge rocks and green lawns. Cool breeze of the Arabian Sea, refreshing surroundings and the rhythmic sound of the wavers striking the rocks are the things to be experienced here. This is also the best place to view romantic sunset on backdrop of the shining sea. These huge rocks make a good shelter for many reptiles and small creatures. In the evening crabs are seen walking beautifully on the rocks of the rock garden.

CNHRPC BRIEFING
STREAM JOURNEY
By: Laura Russell July, 2021
A reflection after the most recorded rain in Concord's history
When we first moved to our place nestled between the Mink Hills and the Warner River, we loved hearing what we thought was the noisy sound of the river after rainstorms. But we could not figure out why the river was so noisy even several days after the rain had stopped. One afternoon when we stood in the middle of our meadow, we realized that it was not actually the river that was so noisy. It was all the little streams still bringing water down from the top of the Minks and echoing in the valley.
When we explored the sources of these streams, we observed that some of these streams flow down the hills in an organized fashion following "proper stream protocols," and other streams do just what they want when they want. We then discovered that at the bottom of this section of the Minks these many streams arrive at several locations at the land we have the privilege of stewarding.
At this point, both the organized and the free-flowing streams pass through three zones in the river buffer area. First they sprawl through a young forest of trees that don't mind "getting their feet wet": red maples, poplar trees, and even some apple trees. Then they break out into a meadow, sluicing in countless paths through grasses, rushes, goldenrod, Joe Pye weed, meadow sweet, and young alders. These disorganized streams then merge and flow into a riparian zone, passing through the roots of winterberry, blueberry, wild raisin, several varieties of ferns, and yes, poison ivy. And, finally, now having become a creek that is hidden by brush too dense for a human to walk through, this larger stream unceremoniously gurgles or rushes, depending on the conditions, into the Warner River.
The varied landscapes that these streams pass through remind us of how the water and land are so deeply interconnected. The water provides sustenance to the land and creatures, and the different terrestrial habitats serve to both filter and slow down the force of the water. Although many have said that the journey is more important than the destination, in this instance, the journey of these streams creates the destination.
