Founded in 1971, G.S.F. Plastics Corporation began their operations in the thermoplastic manufacturing of PTFE molded tubes and machine parts. In the early 80's, products manufactured of PEEK™ were added, with tubes and solid rods produced in both the compression and injection molded proces. Today, our customers continue to rely on G.S.F. to provide the highest quality products with the highest physical properties.
Among the many engineered thermoplastic materials GSF offers, PEEK is by far the highest performing plastic. PEEK™, a high-performance thermoplastic materials, is a tough polymer used in application where high compressive strength and high heat resistance are desired.
The GSF 1200 SERIES offers the superior high-temperature properties of PEEK™ material, while the 2200 SERIES, with its high Tg (Glass Transition Temperature) offers an improved performance at elevated temperatures. The 2200 SERIES materials will take the outstanding properties of PEEK™ to temperatures and pressures well above that of conventional PEEK™. Both materials can be either injection-molded in diameters to 8.000" or compression-molded in larger diameters up to 40".
Both the GSF 1200 and GSF 2200 materials are available unfilled, or blended with Fiberglass, Carbon, Graphite, and PTFE. Each additive is used to enhance the exceptional properties of PEEK™ in a particular application. Glass fibers add rigidity. Carbon fibers or Graphite allow for improved wear resistance. And the combination of PTFE, graphite and glass fibers give finished parts added lubricity, rigidity and enhanced wear.

How does Realm generals survive on the march?
Hyper Prime started a topic How does Realm generals survive on the march?
This is something that bothers me from a narrative point of view. What can a sleeping Realm army commander do against night castes, dematerialized 2nd circle demons and lunar-assassin-bombs, in the middle of the army camp? Can terrestrials even detect anything of this caliber?

Oh, yeah, I thought of that. See, you make sure that under no circumstances to the hedgehogs think it's okay to enter the tent/mobile quarters. Spotting an ant wiggling up through the floorboards or creeping in around the corner of the door is both hard to do and not immediately suspicious behaviour for an ant. On the other hand a hedgehog scurrying in the door is hard to miss and totally out of character for your well trained pest control team.
Unless the hedgehog was REALLY fast, but I don't think any hedgehog has ever gone that fast before.

1. Night Castes are exceptionally rare, and were even more rare until recently. On top of this, many of them are going to be focused on other stuff. If they're worried about Anathema, it would usually be a Lunar.
2. Anathema is hunted by the Wyld Hunt. Unless the general in question is leading an army against you, spending precious time and energy seeking him out and targeting him is usually a bad idea (it also moves you to the very top of the Realm's shit list.) Generals who are leading armies obviously opposed by Anathema are going to take more precautions (ie. have multiple Exalted or supernatural guards of various sorts, bound demons or elementals, etc.)
3. Or they die. Sometimes, despite all their precautions, they die. Anathema wouldn't be feared the way they are if they weren't a real threat. A Realm general in hostile territory who is targeted by a Lunar they are unaware of has a very high chance of dying - that's just the reality. Don't be that guy. Know who your enemies are.
4. Note that there are very few Lunars who go around randomly murdering Realm generals like that. The ones who do eventually get hunted down and killed themselves, or they become known factors. Sometimes they manage to scare the Dragon-Blooded out of the area for a while, especially if it just isn't worth the time and effort and commitment from higher-ups necessary to deal with that headache. But ultimately the Realm has more resources than the Lunars do, so a Lunar who makes too much of a headache for himself to people too high up in the Realm hierarchy tends to get killed, even if they manage to take several unfortunate DBs with them first.
5. Note that when fighting Anathema, surprise and stealth are often preferred rather than a huge army - the Bull of the North was an exception because he'd already reached the point where a small strike team couldn't reasonably get him. There's a reason the plan for dealing with Anathema focuses heavily on killing them when they're young. (This isn't so much because armies don't work; it's more that in terms of cost / benefit / risk it isn't worth it - especially when dealing with something like a Lunar assassin, who can easily go to ground if they find out you're hunting them. But forcing them to hide so they're no longer hunting DBs is also a victory. If they insist on trying to keep doing it while being hunted, you set a trap for them.)
6. When it comes to spirits, Exigents, and other supernaturals, the plan is a bit different but has many of the same elements, just with more balance of carrots and sticks. The Immaculate Faith exists to beat down rival supernaturals (they fight spirits more often than Anathema.) In areas where the Realm operates normally, the local spirits are generally already at least nominally beaten down and aren't just going to try to gank a Realm general for the hell of it. If you're leading a campaign where there's seriously angry spirits trying to stop you, you send supernatural forces of your own, including defenses for key personnel.
7. Spirits are more vulnerable to Occult and Sorcery, as a general rule. Their stealth powers normally aren't great or have limitations that can make them predictable. If you expect spirits attacking you, you lay down defenses and summon bodyguard-spirits capable of beating up whoever you're expecting.
8. As a general rule, anti-stealth powers are stronger than stealth powers. Mechanically and balance-wise, this is because a stealth power is useful even if it frequently fails the "contested" situation - being able to sneak past everyone except the final guard outside the general's tent is an amazing power, even if that final guard has some sort of anti-stealth that requires a different approach. Whereas anti-stealth is only worthwhile when dealing with the opposed case, so it has to be able to win pretty reliably. Also, the failure state for when players use anti-stealth and don't succeed is often pretty bad (even game-ending), whereas the failure state when the players' stealth is countered is often "interesting." Anyway, this also works out from a setting perspective.
9. When it is absolutely essential that a particular general survive, the Sidereals place their thumb on the scale to ensure it. This probably doesn't involve an actual Sidereal standing guard unless they are absolutely certain a key Anathema they need to kill is going to pop up there and no other option to kill them seems viable; but fortunately, Sidereals have lots of ways to provide protection without having to be personally present. Mysterious warnings that arrive at key times, fate-manipulation, etc. Having the best astrologers in the world on your side does help against ambushes at crucial moments, even if they're sometimes overworked and are only likely to get involved when absolutely necessary. Note that since only a small percentage of Anathema are going to be ready, willing, and able to actively attack Realm generals, it's actually reasonable for one of the few Sidereals to use a bit of their precious time to stop or at least obstruct them - especially if an Anathema tries to do it multiple times, since those are the ones the Sidereals particularly want off the board. (With Lunars, it doesn't help that the same Lunars who ambush and murder Realm generals probably also ambush and murder Sidereals.)
10. Again, sometimes generals do die. It happens. Luckily, they're replaceable, up to a certain point. Also, the military leaders who get sent into hostile territory with relatively little support? Are particularly replaceable. And are probably there because someone in the Realm wanted to replace them, so to speak. Sometimes they survive anyway (I'm looking at you, Roseblack), but often, when a Realm general does die in the field, it's because someone in the Realm wanted them out of the way. Sometimes their death may not even have been enemy action at all.
I can be down for all this. Probably been focused a bit too hard on the idea that precautions against Lunars have to be comprehensive. Heck, thinking more about it, it kind of plays into the tone of the Realm; the resources to make it as hard as possible for a Lunar to approach exist, but there aren't enough to distribute them at all times, so they have to be applied selectively and intelligently. There would probably be generals who would like to guard against even the smallest possibility, but they know that they need to be more practical. There are almost certainly Lunars who would like to make the legions feel as though they can't safely bivouac without preparing every possible contingency against them*, but that's not within reach of the Silver Pact (and likely to have costs that outweigh the benefits), so they're more discerning about it.
I'm revising my consideration of the fact that The Realm will have information on security protocols, both in the idea that the Blessed Isle is likely to be a far more defensible point overall, and needs it a lot more because Lunars would get a lot more out of continuously launching successful raids on the places.
And it does bring things back to some of the importance of Dominions; if you can't get within reach of every legion, you create something that is enough of a nuisance that the legions have to come to you (counterbalanced by the fact that you'll then need to contend with legions equipped with the best possible defensive measures against an infiltrating Lunar, so it all becomes a rich dance).
* By which I mean Lunars who would either like to be able to kill every legion's officers that don't, like them to be weakened individually by trying to distribute what they have evenly, or like them to fight each other over who gets the vest.

Normally impossible but perhaps not for a survival focused exalt.

If you wish, but I mean... if the problem was that young Dynasts saw your homeland as a great place to visit to hone their skills at plunder and conquest, and you made them so afraid that they stopped doing that... that seems like a meaningful win in its own right? Even if the Empire is inevitably going to launch a retaliatory strike, it's not as if they weren't planning to kill you and grind your nation to dust eventually. It doesn't mean you have to Leery Jenkins into the tent of every single Imperial General in your Direction, but I'd expect the main answer to "why don't Solars and Lunars launch decapitation strikes as a matter of course" to be "they do, it's just not always successful and the Realm's organized chains of command mean that they can lose generals without losing the war so your efforts might be better-spent elsewhere."
Well they might be planning on killing you eventually, if they even know about you, but eventually is a powerful word. Eventually climate change will sink coastal cities beneath the waves and destroy a huge amount of farmland, and you can see how many people don't think that's something that should be addressed with extreme measures. Like let's say the Realm is pillaging a kingdom 2 over from you, and much closer to their boarders. You COULD take initiative and go assassinate their general, which would further the goals of the Silver Pact, but also possibly alert them to your existence, and then the next thing they do might be to come to your kingdom and burn every single dwelling to the ground.
Not to mention the prospect can be a little scary. You're in the middle of an enemy army, surrounded by exalts, any number of which might be a hard fight. You don't even necessarily know which ones either, that monk over there might be a grandmaster who's reached the capstone of every immaculate martial art. If you do mess up, if somehow they find you out then you're in one of the worst situations imaginable. In a room without backup full of warriors who want you all dead. Earlier that day you might have seen that monk smash an enemy into the earth, where it bound him and him up let her grimscythe wielding companion reap his head like wheat. That's you if you screw up.
Combine that with the fact that you know the Realm is tricky, and has all sorts of things from all over the world, and who knows how much effect this one dead general is going to have anyway? For all you know she's more beloved by her soldiers than their own mothers, and killing her will just drive them into fighting harder than they've ever fought in their lives.
All of that together might reduce the numbers of roaming Lunar assassins by enough to make Realm invasions possible without losing Tepet Arada every time he goes to war.

Specific case criticism, demon spiders, at least for the demon most commonly known by that name, are not exactly small, easily-crushed pests, unless you yourself happen to have Legendary Size. If one comes in, you're going to notice unless it has yet to materialize, and there are probably Charms to detect the unmaterialized.

I'm leaving it because it's my habit, but I'm not really feeling the stuff that I'm saying in these brackets.
{You mean this section?
Spotting a shapeshifted Lunar for something other than what it appears to be is treated as a roll to recognize a disguised character (p. 224), with a flat difficulty of 7. This can't be attempted unless the observer is already aware of a unique tell or physical give-away that the Lunar possesses in his true human form, which subtly translates in some way into his other shapes.
Kind of specifically says shapeshifted Lunar.
And you're there saying that it has nothing to do with spotting the tell, while acknowledging that you only even get to make the roll if you're familiar with the tell... why do you think you're only able to make the attempt if you're already familiar with the tell?}
No, wait, scratch that... it now reads more to me like you think that I'm under the impression that somebody who knew nothing about the Lunar could see aberrations in their other forms, rather than needing to know what to look for in the first place. A bit nitpicky, but fair enough.
Hmm, this whole post dissatisfies me, and I feel as though I've lost touch with my point in favour of arguing minutia... not really sure what to do now.
I think I'm gonna leave this subject be for a while, and if I come back maybe have ideas that are more brief and holistic.
So the first bolded section, to me, means that is someone succeeds at the roll, they can identify that the creature is a shapeshifted lunar. However, The second bolded section specifically shows that you don't need to spot the tell to be able to spot the lunar, but you'd need something else to show that the creature isn't a normal animal. Or at least that was the interpretation I was working under previously, but now that I'm re-reading it again, I feel a bit of a fool, since it's pretty clear that the second bolded section simply rolls into the first and it's merely describing what the tell is.
Regardless, though, in the case of a spider walking into an area warded against mundane spiders or similar, I'd still give the DB the roll to see if they can identify that it's a lunar, but, importantly, I even if they succeeded, I wouldn't allow them to know the lunar's tell unless the lunar shifts back to human form. So basically, I wouldn't give them carte blanche to always be able to tell it's the lunar if they meet her at a party after the spider escapes the area or similar normal circumstances.

Without customers, you don't have a business!
How do you feel when you need some help from a business or for a product that is not forthcoming? I am not happy! An ongoing example: I'd booked a business trip to New Orleans, but in the meantime, Hurricane Isaac had other ideas and was continuing to buffet Louisiana including New Orleans. The convention was cancelled at the last minute and I requested a refund. Even though I had bought cancellation insurance, the travel company and US Airways has refused to refund the ticket. To add insult to injury US Airways will claw back $150 for not going! They are still insisting that I can go to New Orleans, never mind the city has reported widespread power outages, fuel shortages and transportation issues – and I'm still supposed to go because they can fly a plane in? So they send me a survey. No prizes for guessing what I put down!! I will be transferring my business to another travel company and tell as many friends and acquaintances as possible. I will have the travel company and US Airways on my "do not touch unless absolutely necessary" list.

Two late icons will be honored in a special hologram tour planned to launch in October of 2019. The holograms of Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly will split the stage for the show, which is billed as the Rock 'n' Roll Dream Tour and will feature a live band and back-up vocalists. Tickets will go on sale beginning Friday (March 29) at 9AM GMT.
It isn't the first time that Orbison's hologram has hit the road, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. In 2018, the late superstar's estate launched a hologram tour that spanned the UK, in a performance backed by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. BASE Hologram, which created that project, is also behind the 2019 trek that pairs Orbison's hologram with Holly's.
In a statement reprinted in Rolling Stone, Roy Orbison Jr. -- the late legend's son and the President of Roy Orbison Music -- reflected on the two artist's personal friendship, and how fitting it is that their holograms will appear together in front of fans.
"My father's music meant the world to not just us Orbisons, but to millions of fans worldwide," he explains. "Being able to reopen his legendary songbook and once again hear his voice bounce off great concert hall walls is both a transcendent and cathartic experience. Dad jammed with Buddy in Lubbock, Texas, and helped change music history by turning Buddy on to Norman Petty Studios; Buddy later returned the favor by recording two of Dad's songs on his first Crickets' album. How beyond cool and special that these two great friends now get to tour the world together."
As of now, the tour's website only reflects UK dates for the Rock 'n' Roll Dream Tour. Stay tuned for more information.

Average rating 7.7 from 1,382 reviews.
The Residence itself is a multi-storey building that backs onto the swimming pool-- not the most tempting pool we've seen considering Lo Dalam is minutes away, but we imagine it will swing the deal for some. Rooms are well sized, if sparsely furnished, and very clean. For the money, for Phi Phi, if you want a hotel room, this isn't bad value. Best to book in person or through an online booking agency since no one replied to our emails and our calls were forwarded to a fax machine. The staff on site are friendly and clued up, however.

Onyx Hospitality & Thai Real Estate Firm Ratanakorn Asset to Manage New Pattaya Hotels
Onyx Hospitality and Thai real estate firm Ratanakorn Asset forged a management agreement for three new Pattaya-based hotels.
Picture courtesy of Amari.com (Koh Samui)
The said hotels will be an extension of Onyx Hospitality's top brands - Amari, OZO and Shama. With this expansion, approximately 773 more rooms and suites will be added to the company's existing portfolio.
400 out of 773 new rooms belong to the Amari Jomtien Pattaya project. Shama Wongamat Pattaya, on one hand, will consist of 250 rooms, while OZO Pratumnak Pattaya has the least share of 123 rooms.
Situated in Na Jomtien, along Pattaya city's southern side, Amari Jomtien Pattaya will be surrounded by mixed-use beachfront. There will be a community retail mall in the area that visitors can access at their convenience.
Biggest Thai Property Investment: Amari Hotel Pattaya
This new Amari hotel chain is a 30-storey high-rise building that takes inspiration from contemporary Thai designs. If you have ever been to other hotels under this brand, expect to see the usual Amari signatures. From the market-style Amaya Food Gallery to botanical spa treatments at Breeze Spa, you will surely find all the features that made you love Amari.
Guests will be able to access an exclusive beach club, a specialty restaurant and a floor and lounge specially designed for executives. Target opening date for Amari will be in 2024. Facilities for grand events and meetings will also be offered, including a ballroom that can accommodate up to 1,000 individuals in cocktail fashion. Smaller function rooms are also available for intimate groups.
Shama Wongamat Pattaya & OZO Pratumnak Hill
Soon, to the North of Pattaya, Shama Wongamat Pattaya will rise as a 250-unit condo building offering studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartment units. In addition to its residential quarters, the property will serve sumptuous food at an all-day dining restaurant. Visitors can hang out in a guest lounge. Meanwhile, residents have unlimited access to a pool, a garden and gym facilities. Shama Wongamat Pattaya will be completed and commence operations in 2025.
OZO Pratumnak Hill, on one hand, is set to open in 2022. It will be a mid to upscale hotel offering 123 rooms. Guests can expect a unique ambience especially in designated public spaces within the hotel. A portion of the property will be marketed as the ideal place for peace and quiet.
Expanding in the Property Market of Thailand
Onyx Hospitality Group's President and Chief Executive Officer, Douglas Martell, shared the news: "Pattaya is the birthplace of the Onyx Hospitality Group growth story, and where our first hotel was launched close to half a century ago. It is with great excitement that we expand our reach in this key Thai destination, with all three of our core brands being represented in this partnership with Ratanakorn Asset."
He added that as the country's eastern region grows to become a prime destination domestic and international visits, the company looks forward to "being one of the prominent hospitality players in this growing region." Such investments should be worth the risks thanks to "planned road, rail and air infrastructure enhancements and investment in the Eastern Economic Corridor initiatives."
Onyx Hospitality operates mainly in Bangkok. However, their expanding regional portfolio covers around 50 properties, under the three core brands, across eight countries in Asia. 20 new properties are underway. Some are set to launch abroad in the property markets of China, Laos and Malaysia and Laos. One of their major goals is to complete 99 hotel projects by 2024.

The Non-GMO Project will "only become more relevant" as mandatory GMO labeling kicks in, in part because its scope could be so narrow that consumers will not simply be able to assume that anything without a bioengineered label is automatically Non-GMO, says executive director Megan Westgate.
USDA – which has just published a proposed rule establishing a National Bioengineered Disclosure Standard and hopes to finalize its plans "later in the year" - is currently fielding comments on how broadly to interpret the term 'bioengineered' for food labeling purposes.
However, it has already made it clear that the definition excludes meat and dairy from animals fed GM feed, that it exempts gene-edited crops, and may also exempt highly refined oils and sweeteners made from GM crops such as soybean oil and high fructose corn syrup if they contain no detectible modified DNA.
Given that thousands of products that have been produced with genetic engineering at some stage in their development may therefore not be subject to mandatory GMO labeling under the proposed rule, consumers that care about this issue will in reality continue to look for the butterfly logo when they go shopping, claimed Westgate.
Megan Westgate, executive director, The Non GMO Project, a non-profit that works with third party technical administrators who certify products according to the Project's standards for a fee, including NSF International, FoodChain ID, SCS Global Services, and Where Food Comes From Inc.
Along with many food industry stakeholders, Westgate said she was surprised by the lack of detail in the proposed rule, which repeated many of the questions – without answering them - that had been issued by USDA previously during its initial round of questioning.
As for disclosure, The Non GMO Project strongly objects to the use of the term 'bioengineered,' along with the accompanying 'BE' logo, which was meaningless to shoppers, claimed Westgate.
As for the option to scan a QR code or text a number to receive information about bioengineered ingredients, while some shoppers may find extra information useful, most consumers who care about this issue just want to know at a glance if a product was made with GMOs or not, she claimed.
To date, more than 50,000 products have been through the Non GMO Verification process, with growing interest from producers of animal products (meat and dairy) and ingredients suppliers, which also helped to speed up the verification process for packaged food companies using these ingredients, said Westgate.
Read the proposed rule in full.
Read the comments submitted on the proposed rule to date. The deadline for submissions is July 3.
If new GMO labeling rules do not cover scores of foods that consumers know are from GM crops, from gene edited non-browning Arctic apples to highly refined soybean oil, there will be a "bright future for third party certifications" such as the Non-GMO Project, said Andrea Bruce, Hershey senior counsel, global regulatory law at The Hershey Company.

By true self we mean without pretense or the expectations of others. You are a spiritual being. How much do you know about yourself through your own eyes? Have you tapped into your true passion? Will today be the day? If not, what excuse are you using that is keeping you at a distance from yourself and perhaps others as well. This is a time when partnering on your true purpose and passion is so very important. Many have learned to balance and become comfortable. You are invited to add new elements and play with a new balance. Find interesting energies and explore their potential. You will be amazed.


Earlier this year, director Kevin Smith suggested that filming for "Clerks III" would take place in Philadelphia this summer, but that didn't end up happening.
The change of plans had to do with Smith's attempt to pin down a location to shoot the sequel to 1995's slacker cult flick 'Mallrats.' On Thursday, Smith tweeted that he and StarStream Entertainment have chosen Chester County's Exton Square Mall and will begin filming in January.
In June, Smith alluded to the possibility that "Mallbrats" might be filmed at the Granite Run Mall in Media, which is set to be demolished sometime this fall, but complications got in the way, according to the Delco Times. With plans for an explosion in the film's final act, Smith hoped to have free reign in a place that was slated to be torn down anyway.
Much of the original cast will return for the sequel, including Shannon Doherty, Jason Lee, Joey Lauren Adams, and Jason Mewes, who teams up with Smith for the leading duo of Jay and Silent Bob. So far, Ben Affleck and Claire Forlani, who appeared in the first film, have not signed on for 'Mallbrats,' but Smith is reportedly recruiting them.
'Mallrats' forms part of Smith's 'View Askewniverse' series, in which recurring characters and motifs cycle through his projects. Wherever Jay and Silent Bob are involved, expect plenty of lewd comments, happy dances, improbable escapes and one-sided conversations.
If you're fuzzy on the original plot, the following clip from the original spells it out pretty clearly.

So A Drop In Farm Land Values Nets 14 Percent Increase In My Property Tax Bill?
Posted on December 11, 2017 by CharlieClaywell
Abandoned school in Preble County.
The property tax on my Eaton, Ohio home is increasing 14 percent in 2018.
I knew the rate was abnormal (it's roughly twice the increase of the last valuation) because the latest property audit generated five public meetings. In Preble County these meetings are only scheduled when something is being imposed on the public. Officials explain they 'don't want to do this, but outside forces are requiring it.'
In Ohio, every six years a 'real' audit is conducted where property is photographed, compared to other properties, questionnaires are distributed, and a new valuation is determined.
GOP Approved: The Anti-Tax Movement
Headlines from the mid-1970s highlight the frustration of Preble County farmers.
Plenty of factors affect a property's value, and in the case of farm-rich areas like mine, so does the political system.
This year as my property value rises, a significant chunk of farmland in Preble County (and other parts of Ohio) will experience a significant decline in property value. It's a Christmas miracle as the 'invisible hand' of the marketplace, guided ever so skillfully by lobbyists and legislators, yields to the pressure of the Farm Bureau and other agencies to readjust farm values.
Preble County farmers have a rich history of protesting taxes. (It is almost considered patriotic here to protest taxes — protesting violence against unarmed black men, though, not so much.) During one 1970s public meeting with Ohio and U.S. Congressmen Buz Lukens and Thomas Kindness nearly 800 farmers complained that their tax bill was out of hand. Some of them eventually marched on the capital in Columbus.
Movements, like the one in Preble County, worked and the tax laws were written in Ohio to accommodate the farmers' concerns. They were rewritten this year.
When this latest law was implemented, it also meant a County's revenue could take a hit, but miraculously, as in times past, it evened out as non-farm property values increased — offsetting any potential loss of revenue.
I'm not convinced it's accurate, though, based on what I see and read.
First the anecdotal. Within a six-block area of my home:
A house 'sat on the market' for months before eventually being taken off because it did not sell.
Another house has been for sale, first by a realtor then by the owner, for more than a year.
A third house has been abandoned for more than a year. The lawn is maintained by the City of Eaton under property nuisance laws.
A few statistics that suggest the 14 percent increase is erroneous:
The increase of Dollar General stores in my county. According to Vox, the national chain intends to build more stores in 'small communities that have otherwise shown few signs of the U.S. economic recovery.' Since we are a target market for them, we now have seven of their stores. They replaced our 'mom and pop' establishments.
According to the Census, our population is declining. People do not leave a thriving community.
Our rising jail population. In the late 1980s to early 1990s, based on newspaper articles, we needed a new jail because we were spending "about $50,000" a year housing inmates in neighboring counties. Today the tipping point appears to be $100,000 — and one commissioner recently noted that, in 2017, we spent more than $80,000 housing inmates in neighboring counties. At this rate, we will build a larger jail. Jails can negatively impact private property value.
We lost the drug war. According to one court official "about 80 percent" of the cases in the Preble County Common Pleas Court are drug-related. Viewing the jail roster, and comparing it to the court cases, one can quickly determine the majority of the defendants are indigent. But, in a case of a Catch-22, the county and City of Eaton are increasingly dependent on the income created by jailing the indigent. The Eaton Municipal Court, which handles about 600 cases monthly, generates $1 million in income that is diverted to the Preble County and City of Eaton budgets. This is in addition to the monies that pay the salaries for judges, bailiffs, and support staff. Losing the drug war negatively impacts property values and keeps potential employers from locating here.
But, the single most significant indicator that the 14-percent increase is inaccurate is our housing statistics. They show that Preble County has never recovered from The Great Recession.
High Foreclosures Rates
Although we are a small county (about 40,000) since 2007 we have consistently ranked high in Ohio home foreclosures. This indicates a systemic problem has not been alleviated. The initial wave of foreclosures were closely linked to Ohio's lax predatory lending laws, the high-paying jobs exiting the Miami Valley region and a general economic decline caused by the Great Recession. Between 2007 and 2013, Preble County ranked in the Top 10 for foreclosures — peaking at 3rd in 2013. Although we fell to 16th in the state in 2014, 2016 data (the latest available) demonstrates we have not recovered — and definitely not at a 14-percent recovery rate.
With 4.5 foreclosures per 1,000, our foreclosure density ranks eighth in the state.
In 2015, we were 27th.
One interesting paradox in the farm land value issue is farm subsidies. Farm subsidies are a wealth redistribution/entitlement program implemented in the 1930s by president Franklin D. Roosevelt when roughly 25 percent of the country earned its income from farming. Today, less than two percent do. If you are interested in who gets the (mostly Blue State) money inside your state or county, visit the Farm Subsidy Database. Between 1995 and 2016, Preble County farmers have received nearly $118 million in subsidies. Critics of the program claim that most of the money is funneled to large 'corporate' farms bypassing the small, family farms.

Southern Conference basketball tournament arrives in Asheville with strong field
in Asheville News — by Jason Sandford — March 6, 2019
By Keith Jarrett
ASHEVILLE – The Southern Conference has been playing college basketball since 1921, but this year's postseason tournament at U.S. Cellular Center offers an unprecedented event.
For the first time in its 98 years, the 2019 Ingles Southern Conference Men's Basketball Championship presented by General Shale features four teams that have combined for 99 wins.
The men's and women's tournaments will play Thursday through Monday at the U.S. Cellular Center, marking the 20th year the event has been held in Asheville, which has hosted the nation's oldest collegiate tournament more than any another city.
And it could be the most competitive and exciting ever before one man's and one woman's team emerges with an automatic bid to the NCAA tournaments.
The top four men's seeds – No. 1 Wofford (26-4), No. 2 UNC Greensboro (26-5), No. 3 Furman (24-6) and No. 4 East Tennessee State (23-8) – are all ranked in the top 16 of the College Insider.com Mid-Major Top 25.
This marks the third straight season the league has featured four teams with 20 or more wins, but the 99 total wins by the top four schools is the most ever heading into the tournament.
The Wofford Terriers, coming off an undefeated (18-0) regular season in league play, are ranked No. 2 among mid-majors, 24th in the AP Top 25 Poll and 25th in the USA Today Coaches Poll. The favorite to win the SoCon tourney for the fifth time in the past 10 seasons, Wofford, under veteran coach Mike Young, enters the tournament on an 18-game winning streak.
Greensboro, the defending tourney champion under coach Wes Miller, is ranked eighth in the Mid-Major Poll and is looking to become the first repeat champion since Wofford in 2014 and '15. The Spartans come to Asheville winners of four straight and 12 of their last 14 outings.
Furman, ranked in the AP Top 25 earlier this season, had wins over defending national champion Villanova and fellow Final Four participant Loyola Chicago in a 12-0 start.
The Paladins are 12th in the Mid-Major rankings and begin tournament play on a run of eight wins in the last nine games.
ETSU has always enjoyed playing in Asheville, winning five SoCon tourney titles on the U.S. Cellular Center floor since 1989, including the '17 championship. The Bucs have won 15 of their last 19 games.
"This is the best I've ever seen the league," said Young, who has coached the Terriers for 17 seasons. "You have four outstanding teams who have had great seasons, and while we had some great teams back when Davidson and College of Charleston were in the league, this is the best I've been a part of."
In fact, the league is ranked as the 10th best conference in the country by KenPom.com, ahead of such traditional top 10 leagues like the A-10.
The SoCon has sent a team to the NCAA tournament for 68 straight seasons, but the league has never received a second bid for an at-large berth. That could change this season. Wofford is 15th in the country in the NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET), which replaces the old RPI system for ranking teams.
The Terriers' four losses are to Power Five Conference teams (Oklahoma, North Carolina, Kansas and Mississippi State), and three of those teams were ranked in the AP's Top 25 when they beat Wofford.
"I don't want to rely on that," Young said when asked about the possibility of getting an at-large bid if his team doesn't win the SoCon tourney. "I want Wofford to decide if Wofford gets in, not a committee. We've had a great season and we have some really good players, and we want to finish this off the right way by playing our way into the NCAA tournament."
Furman (44th in the NET) could also get consideration for an at-large bid, while Greensboro (61) and ETSU (65) would likely need to win the tourney to get invited to the Big Dance.
The men's event begins with a pair of games on Friday – No. 8 Virginia Military (10-20) vs. No. 9 Western Carolina (7-24) at 5 p.m., followed by No. 7 Samford (16-15) playing No. 10 The Citadel (12-17) at 7:30.
Quarterfinal play Saturday includes the top four seeds. Top seed Wofford plays the VMI-WCU winner at noon, followed by No. 4 ETSU vs. No. 5 Chattanooga (12-19). The evening season begins with No. 2 Greensboro playing the Samford-The Citadel winner at 6 p.m., with No. 3 Furman squaring off against No. 6 Mercer (11-19) at 8:30.
Saturday's winners plays in Sunday's semifinals at 4 p.m. and 6:30.
The championship game, televised nationally on ESPN, is 7 p.m. Monday.
Women's tournament
In women's play, seven teams will be looking to end the dominance of Mercer (22-7), which just finished an undefeated regular season in conference play for a second straight season.
Coach Susie Gardner's Bears come to Asheville winners of 34 straight regular-season games against SoCon opponents.
This year's squad, looking to claim the tournament title for a second straight year, have won 14 straight games and shown to be tough in the clutch, winning eight league games by eight points or less, including two overtime victories.
Among those who can contend are a tightly bunch set of schools that battled for second place down to the last day of the regular season – No. 2 Furman, No. 3 Chattanooga, No. 4 ETSU and No. 5 Wofford.
Mercer opens to women's tournament at 11 a.m. Thursday against No. 8 Western Carolina (4-25). No. 4 ETSU (10-20) plays No. 5 Wofford (15-14) at 1:15 p.m., No. 2 Furman (17-12) meets No. 7 Samford (10-19) at 3:30 and No. 3 Chattanooga (13-16) battles No. 6 Greensboro (11-18) at 5:45.
Friday's semifinals are at 11 a.m. and 1:15, with Sunday's final at noon.
Tickets for the event, expected to draw up to 30,000 fans, are available. For general admission tournament books ($120), single session ($20) and youth and group sales, contact Ticketmaster.com or the U.S. Cellular Box Office (828-259-5736).
For VIP packages ($250), which includes seats, food and beverages, contact Laura Weston at lweston@ashevilenc.gov or call the box office.
More than just basketball
In addition to 16 games over five days, the 2019 Ingles Southern Conference Basketball Championships presented by General Shale offers so much more.
The inaugural Ingles SoCon Fan Experience will take place Friday through Sunday. Admission to all events is free. The Ingles SoCon Fan Experience will be highlighted by four concerts during its three-day run and will feature other family friendly activities. In addition to the concerts, there will be basketball-themed interactives, face painting, a TapSnap booth, an Ingles SoCon Mascot Challenge voting area with large mascot cutouts, and a chalk drawing area for kids.
Also on site will be a large Jumbotron showing live tournament action, live radio remotes, a concessions area and a SoCon merchandise booth.
The Ingles SoCon Fan Experience will be open from 3-7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 8, 10 a.m.-7 p.m. on Saturday, March 9, and 1-4 p.m. on Sunday, March 10.
Concerts will be performed by Joe Lasher on Friday at 6:15 p.m., Ryan "RnB" Barber – Boogie Therapi on Saturday at 11 a.m., The Carolina Lowdown Band at 4:30 p.m. Saturday and Lyric on Sunday at 2 p.m.
The Ingles SoCon Fan Experience will also benefit Eblen Charities and its Hoops Against Hunger program. Hoops Against Hunger helps provide snacks and meals to school-age children without enough food at home.
Fans are encouraged to bring donations of ready-to-eat or easy-to-serve food items. People donating food items can receive a voucher for $5 off a general admission session ticket.
The always popular Downtown Dribble & KidsFest presented by Champion Credit Union starts Saturday at 9 a.m. at Pack Square.
Monday night's championship game features Hometown Heroes Night, when members of the military, fire, police, emergency and medical services, charitable organizations, government and civil service will be afforded the opportunity to witness the game.
Sunday at 4 p.m., the SoCon Teddy Bear Toss will benefit Mission Health and the Mountain Child Advocacy Center. For a donation, more than 1,000 bears will be tossed on the floor before being donated to Mission Children's Hospital, the N.C. Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies.

Hospitalizations due to COVID-19 hit another record high in the U.S.
Date: December 08, 2020 by Pranali Mehta by Pranali Mehta
The U.S. has reportedly recorded 101,487 COVID-19 hospitalizations last Sunday, as reported by the Covid Tracking Project. Apparently, these hospitalizations have exerted immense pressure on the country's already burdened hospitals and health care workers.
Commenting on the matter, Dr. Leana Wen, CNN medical analyst and former health commissioner of Baltimore City has stated that the hospitals across the nation are already on the verge of becoming overwhelmed due to which there are possibilities that patients will not have access to an ideal care.
As per credible sources, the healthcare facilities in the country are stretched thin, which has led to a daunting situation for experts and health care workers as they fear the potential surge in infections stimulated by travel and gatherings pertaining to Thanksgiving in the country.
Wen has also stated that the US is likely to witness an exponential rise in COVID-19 cases over the next week and has urged residents to take necessary measures to combat the spread of coronavirus and reduce the strain on hospitals, otherwise the country will face a worse situation.
It has been reported that the US has recorded highest hospitalizations in the month of December since the beginning of the pandemic. Apparently, it took over 100 days for the country to reach the number of coronavirus infections to 1 million since the first confirmed cases were recorded on January 20. However, over the first five days of the month, 1,000,882 cases were confirmed in the US.
Reportedly, more than 14.7 million cases and over 282,200 death were recorded were reported in the US as of Sunday night. While, the country registered an average of 190,948 new confirmed cases during the last week, another record high.
Meanwhile, California, the most populous state of the country, is anticipated to observe new stay-at-home orders effective Sunday, as authorities attempt to prevent the hospitals from being overrunning. Reportedly, these new restrictions will be applicable across a majority of the state, including in Southern California and San Joaquin Valley regions following significant dip of 15% in the intensive care unit capacity last week.

Southampton injury update: Two key men to miss Leicester game
Leicester injury update: Turkish duo back in contention, one key man injured
Southampton vs. Leicester City team news
Southampton have had a poor 2021 and have slid down the table since briefly topping the Premier League in November.
Saints now lie 15th in the Premier League standings, having lost 12 of their last 15 games in the league.
On the other hand, Leicester City have been consistently good throughout the 2020/21 campaign as they chase a place in next season's Champions League.
Third in the league, Brendan Rodgers' side also booked their place in the FA Cup final at the expense of Southampton earlier in the month with an uneventful 1-0 victory.
Ralph Hasenhuttl is unable to call on two key players for Leicester's visit today.
Saints' main goalscoring threat Danny Ings is out after he picked up a hamstring injury against Tottenham Hotspur in their last game.
Ryan Bertrand is also out, joining Oriol Romeu and Will Smallbone on the sidelines.
The Foxes won't be able to call on Harvey Barnes today as he recovers from his knee injury and subsequent surgery. However, Turkish duo Caglar Soyuncu and Cengiz Under are back in contention to play.
Southampton vs Leicester City pre-match stats
Leicester won the reverse fixture 2-0 and could complete a league double against Southampton for the first time since 2000.
The Foxes have earned three successive Premier League victories at St. Mary's, including last season's top-flight record 9-0 away win.
Saints have lost 12 of their past 15 league games, a run which began with defeat against Leicester.
They have taken just 10 points from 16 league matches in 2021, five points fewer than any other side.
Southampton have dropped an unrivalled 21 points from winning positions this term.
A seventh home league victory of the season would be their most for five years.
The Saints can concede multiple goals in six consecutive top-flight matches within a season for the first time since a run of seven from December 1988 to February 1989.
Theo Walcott has scored five goals in 10 Premier League appearances against Leicester.
With five games still to play, Leicester have equalled their total of 62 points from the previous season.
Only two of their nine league defeats this season have come away from home.
They're trying to avoid losing consecutive Premier League away games for the first time since the end of last season.
The Foxes could equal the club top-flight record of 11 away wins in a season, set in their title-winning campaign in 2015-16.
Ayoze Perez has scored seven top-flight goals against Southampton, more than against any other side.
Kelechi Iheanacho has scored 14 goals in his last 14 appearances. He could become the first Leicester player other than Jamie Vardy to score in four consecutive Premier League matches.
All five of Vardy's Premier League goals against Southampton were scored at St. Mary's Stadium.
