To grow a lawn that is vibrant and healthy, flowers that are bright and colorful, or nutritious fruits and vegetables that burst with flavor, you must have an abundant supply of calcium. Nothing can replace the role of calcium in the nutritional supply chain, and when it comes to supplying the calcium your plants require, nothing beats Super-Cal®.
Super-Cal® provides calcium to your growing plants in the soluble form they require, and while many products claim to supply calcium, none can offer the advantages of Super-Cal®. Formulated with a proprietary blend of organic acids, Super-Cal® works in the soil to break down unavailable calcium and convert it to an available form that plants can utilize. With Super-Cal®, literally hundreds of pounds of insoluble calcium can be brought into solution, insuring that your plants have an abundant supply. Don't Starve Your Plants Of The Calcium They Need. Feed Them Super-Cal® And See The Difference!

Introduction to the "Bill Bader Interview" conducted by Lawn Care Academy Owner, Russ James.
A key element in his peach production, and the topic of our discussion, has been his 20 plus years of using AgriGro Foliar Blend Biostimulant as well as Super-Cal Calcium on all his peach trees and other crops.
Note: The photo at right shows AgriGro's Super-Cal and AgriGro's Bountiful Harvest Biostimulant. AgriGro's Foliar Blend (mentioned above) is the name given to its commercial line (the product Bill uses) and comes in 2.5 gallons, 55 gallons, and 275 gallons. Bountiful Harvest, by AgriGro, is much like Foliar Blend, but comes in smaller containers up to one gallon. All products are available to homeowners and commercial growers.
Russ: Good morning, Mr. Bader. Thank you for taking the time to talk with me about your peach orchards and how AgriGro has played a part in producing some of the finest peaches in the U.S. I will try to keep it short since it is close to harvest and I know you have a lot of work to do.
Bill: It is my pleasure.
Russ: First, please tell me a little about your farm, Mr. Bader.
Bill: It began in the 1980's when I bought a small farm and started growing peaches. Now I have well over 1000 acres and the largest peach orchard in the entire Mid-West. We sell peaches throughout the country. We also grow corn and wheat, as well as peaches.
Russ: You were one of the first people to use AgriGro. How long have you been using AgriGro Biostimulants?
Bill: I actually used the product in 1984 before it became AgriGro. However, after the meeting with Ron Smith in 1992, I have been using it on my peaches and my other crops every year since. Its been over 20 years now.
(Note to my readers: Ron Smith is the founder of AgriGro Marketing Inc., a family buisiness that also includes the product's manufacturing. Ron is now retired and AgriGro Marketing Inc. and manufacturing is now owned by his sons in Doniphan, MO).
Russ: Tell me about your experience with using AgriGro's "Foliar Blend".
Bill: It is a fantastic product. The Foliar Blend has helped produce the best soil around. You can go out with a spade and dig in the soil and see hundreds of earthworms - earthworms galore! Wonderfully aerified soil full of nutrients due to increased microbial activity. The product is loaded with great things. I have more and better blooms, larger fruit, better color, with less insects. I haven't had to spray a miticide in over 17 years.
Russ: Many people will be reading this "Bill Bader Interview" and will ask how you use the product. Can I ask you how you use the product on your peach trees? This would be of great interest to my readers.
Bill: I spray the entire tree and the soil under the tree. I begin by spraying in the spring before the bloom and then again 2-4 weeks after the bloom. To do this I mix 1 to 1.5 pints Foliar Blend with 1 pound sugar and about 30 gallons of water per acre.
I then spray Super-Cal Calcium after the harvest in September and again in the dormant season around December or January. I use 1 to 1.5 gallons of calcium to 35 gallons of water per acre.
Russ: Do you spray AgriGro Foliar Blend on your other crops as well?
Bill: Yes. It works great! For example, I spray my wheat twice a year. My test weight for wheat is 65 lbs per bushel. Compare this weight to my neighbors who routinely get 54 to 58 lbs per bushel, but do not use this product. One person asked me "What the hell are you doing to your wheat to get 65 lbs?!" It told him what I have been using. I would never get that weight without AgriGro.
I even spray it on the wheat straw after harvest and have increased my soil organic matter by 2% due to breakdown from the increase in soil microbial activity.
Russ: What about turf? Do you have any experience with using AgriGro on grass. I know that wheat is a type of grass, but I am speaking of turfgrass in this question?
Bill: It is great on turf. I have a friend who is a golf course superintendent. He told me about a calcium product he was using (product name withheld) that was quite expensive. He was paying 30 to 40 dollars per gallon just for the calcium. So I told him about Super-Cal and AgriGro Biostimulants. He mixed 2 gallons Super-Cal, 1 pint Biostimulant, and 1 pound sugar per acre, as was suggested, and couldn't believe the results. He has never gone back to his other product.
Russ: What would you say to the person who is using an AgriGro Biostimulant and Super-Cal for the first time?
Russ: What can a first time user expect to see?
Bill: In the case of fruit trees, in 3 or 4 days after application a person can expect to see a darkening of the leaves and later improved blooming in spring. Root growth is increased. Some of the problems you may have been experiencing in plants will go away.
If you use the product as a root dip before planting, mix a 1% or 2% solution and soak the roots in the solution.

My Review "The Philosopher's Flight" by Tom Miller
By lindasbookobsession	in Uncategorized	on February 4, 2018
My Review of "The Philosopher's Flight" by Tom Miller Simon and Schuster, February 2018
Tom Miller, Author of "The Philosopher's Flight" has provided a unique story that combines the Genres of Science Fiction, Historical Fiction, Magical Illusion, Magical Realism, and Fiction. The author has woven these genres in a coming of age tale of a young man fighting for his dreams in a women's world.
The author describes his characters as complex and complicated. The time-line for the story is around World War One and goes back in history, and speaks a little of the future. Women have been able to be "practitioners of empirical philosophy"…."Used to summon the wind, shape, clouds of smoke, heal the injured and even fly"(Blurb from NetGalley) The women have been able to win past wars and battles using these skills. Of course this has caused dangerous opposition from others that would want these women destroyed.
Robert Weekes was only a child when his mother, considered a hero, taught him to fly and apply this philosophy. At eighteen years of age, Robert's goals are to become part of the elite medics that fly and Rescue and Evacuate during the war. Unfortunately this is a women's branch in the government and most men don't fly and use this philosophy. Robert is determined to enter an all Woman' s College, and learn more philosophy and sharpen his personal flying skills. Many of the women bully him, and make fun of him. Society doesn't really approve of a man being able to hover and fly.
What would it take for Robert's dreams to come true? What are the risks for him. This is an unusual story, and if you try to imagine what if……..Can you imagine women having the power to fly their own bodies to save other people's lives? Or women using smoke to cast an illusion or fight or heal others? I would recommend this novel for those who appreciate Science Fiction, Magic and Historical Fiction. I received An Advanced Reading Copy from NetGalley for my honest review.

Next postMy Review of "Cemetery Girl" by David Bell


In this series we scale-back and look at the broader technical picture to gain a bit more perspective on where we are in trend. Crude oil has plummeted a staggering 33% from the yearly highs registered just last month with prices poised to snap a seven-week losing streak after rebounding from nearby confluence support. Here are the key targets & invalidation levels that matter on the Crude Oil (WTI)weekly chart heading into the close of the month. Review this week's Strategy Webinar for an in-depth breakdown of this setup and more.
Crude broke lower days later with price closing below the 200-week moving average last week. Initial support rests at 50.25 where the 50-line of the descending pitchfork extending off the early highs converges on the 76.4% retracement of the 2017 advance. It's worth noting that typically I'm not a fan of these steep slopes but given the recent price action, we'll take what we can get.
Initial resistance now stands back at the 200-week moving average (currently ~52.20) with a breach above 55.21 needed to alleviate further downside pressure. Broader bearish invalidation rests with the yearly open at 60.06. A downside break from here keeps the focus on more significant support zone at the median-line of the 2015/2016 slope / 61.8% retracement at 45.45-46.24.
Bottom line: Crude prices could see some back & fill here but the risk remains lower sub-55.21. Note that momentum is still in oversold territory and from a trading standpoint there is nothing to do on the long-side just yet. Ideal scenario sees a washout towards 46 before mounting a more meaningful recovery. I'll publish an updated scalp report once we get further clarity on near-term price action.
We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-long suggests Crude prices may continue to fall. Yet traders are less net-long than yesterday & compared with last week andthe recent changes in sentiment warn that the current Oil - US Crude price trend may soon reverse higher despite the fact traders remain net-long.

Where is the line?. Representation of disputed territories and the other
Автор: Jolanta D.
Описание: The dialogue of the imagery in question works on a surface level, thus communicates on a surface level. Conflicts in the contemporary world are constant and 'thanks' to the media we are informed of 'events' in countries distanced many miles from us, in lands and countries never heard of before and possibly never again. The age that we live in is indeed the 'digital age'- a world where everything must be available at the touch of a button, where information, money, business and news travels at a frightening speed that was unimaginable in years gone by. The photographic coverage of those 'events' in main stream media often lacks depth. What is their message? Are those images confirmation of the accompanying text or independent information? Regardless of our efforts in decoding photographs we are left with no answer to the many questions that they raise. What information do they actually contain? This paper intends to discuss issues around the limits of representation from both an informative and ethical point of view, on examples of work of Alfredo Jaar, Susan Meiselas, Anthony Haughey and Melanie Friend.
Neuro–Linguistic Programming: Volume I. The Study of the Structure of Subjective Experience
We have pointed out that the behavioral significance of a particular representation will be determined by the intensity of the representation with respect to the intensity of all other ongoing representations. Our claim is that a representation becomes conscious only when it reaches a certain level of intensity. This, however, says relatively little about its behavioral significance. Consider the following graph:[14] This is a graph of hypothetical fluctuations in intensity of the three basic representational systems over time. These fluctuations are contributed to by accessing cues & synesthetic neural interconnections. The center line indicates the threshold of consciousness. Representations only become conscious when their intensity rises above that value. The graph indicates that at point 1 the auditory representational system has the highest relative signal value and is conscious. At point 2, the visual representational system has the highest relative intensity and is conscious. At point 3, the kinesthetic representational system has the highest intensity and is conscious ...»

Where the Wild Things Are (Film)
Where the Wild Things Are is a 2009 American fantasy drama film directed by Spike Jonze and adapted from Maurice Sendak' s 1963 children' s book Where the Wild Things Are.
The film was directed by Wolfgang Petersen and stars Clint Eastwood as Agent Frank Horrigan and John Malkovich as assassin Mitch Leary. Eastwood' s character is the sole active-duty Secret Service agent remaining from the detail guarding John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, at the time of his assassination in 1963. Rene Russo, Dylan McDermott, Gary Cole, John Mahoney, and Fred Thompson also star. The film was co-produced by Columbia Pictures and Castle Rock Entertainment, with Columbia handling distribution. It is also notable for being the last film in which Eastwood starred that he did not also direct. Petersen also originally offered the role of Leary to Robert De Niro, who turned it down due to scheduling conflicts with A Bronx Tale. A sub-plot of the film is the President' s reelection campaign.

We have to charge for the delivery outside Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur. I'm really sorry as referring to previous entry where I stated that it's FREE within KL, Putrajaya and Selangor. After the Head of Operation (aka MOM) viewed and proof read the entry she found out that it's not possible not to charge.

Its title, "This is Portland: The City You've Heard You Should Like" definitely made me want to pick this book up and delve into it - especially considering its allure for today's younger generation. The guide's graphic design and general layout is bold and quirky - just like I had imagined it to be. It's true that people will tell you that Portland, Oregon is "the best city ever." And when you ask why, they reply, "it just is." I like that this book explains why. And, it has two authors: the original writer, Alexander Barrett who penned the book's first edition and long-time Portland resident, Andrew Dickson. So, it gives you information from both sides of the fence - as tourist and citizen. The guide boasts of bikes, beer, books, beards, bridges, BBQs, bubblers, baristas, bakeries and bands. So many B-words, the place should be called Bortland.
The authors explain that the most Portland-type is "alternative, business casual, stubbornly eco-friendly, doesn't care how stupid he looks and involves the suffix, "cycle." In communicating the nature of the culture that is Portland, this scenario explains things perfectly: When you meet someone here for the first time he doesn't ask, "What do you do?" he asks, "What do you like?" And that is because this culture is based on living the life you want. In short order this book verifies this premise with accounts of highly specific food, craft and entertainment options - you certainly get the idea that there is something for everyone.
I love the casual speak these authors offer. They are honest yet not insistent, relaxed but still concise. The book communicates what it needs to through narration, fun wording and unique paragraph construction. It tells you that Portland's reputation, although still vibrant, is changing due to the influx of people - but only slightly. Although its popularity may be increasing, it is the unconventionality that everyone still comes to experience.
Its attractive cover and small dimensions make you think you are getting the ideal travel size book for this trending place called Portland. But "This is Portland" is not a destination guide filled with hotel, restaurant and attraction recommendations. It is an explanation, a true confessions type chronicle that spells out the culture and the vibe of the city. But don't dismay, you will most certainly be informed if or when you visit the city. In fact, you may be so enlightened by this guide you won't even feel or look like a tourist when you arrive. Buy, borrow or barter for this one - it is a unique treasure.

Ghana is well-positioned to grow – Holness
Mr Dale V. C Holness, Mayor of Broward County, Florida, USA, has said Ghana is well-positioned to grow in tremendous ways if she creates business opportunities for prosperity for its people.
He said the country's role in West Africa made it the hub to connecting to businesses for development and Broward County would want to be contributing to that.
"Ghana has a stable government, and business practices that are transparent and people want to do businesses with countries like that," he said.
Mr Holness made this remark at a business meeting organized by the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), on Thursday in Accra.
The Mayor is leading a delegation of 30 businessmen and women from Florida as part of a trade mission to Ghana.
He said the purpose of their visit was to seek opportunities and connect to the Ghanaian market, and revisiting Ghana was like coming back home, and they would not relent in their efforts to help Africa grow, develop and be prosperous.
"This mission does a great deal for me to be a contributor to the future development of Africa and help bring African diaspora businesses to Ghana," he said.
Mr Holness said they were looking forward to inviting people to a programme called Florida's International Trade and Culture Expo, where businesses in Ghana would be invited to connect to businesses in America, expand and do business in construction, event management and textile.
"We want to open the door and help to facilitate development in Ghana, and Africa as a whole," he added.
He encouraged business owners to forge more partnership, especially in countries, where there were great opportunities to do business.
Mr Edward Ashong Lartey, Director Investor Services, GIPC said the meeting with the delegation was to create the opportunity for stakeholders to engage and explore new business opportunities for growth.
He said doing business in Ghana went through series of changes and it could be noted that Ghana was one of the best places to do business in Africa and in West Africa, indicating that, the World Bank placed Ghana first with ease of doing businesses.
He said the GIPC provides investment advisory services, assist in joint venture partnerships, identifies specific projects for promotion, co-ordinates and monitors all investment activities and assists domestic and foreign investors, provide investor incentives and investor support services.

DBE: Chapter 15 - The Nature of Authority in the New Testament
Discovering Biblical Equality: Complementarity Without Hierarchy. A Book Discussion. (Index here)
Part III: Thinking it Through (Logical and Theological Perspectives)
Chapter 15 – The Nature of Authority in the New Testament. Walter L. Liefield.
Dr. Liefield begins his essay distinguishing between leadership, authority and power.
We may distinguish authority from leadership on the one hand and from raw power on the other. Leadership is used here as a general term to describe personal influence that generates a positive response among followers. It is earned, it may be invited, and it is voluntarily accepted. Authority, in the sense under consideration, is a narrower term used to describe the right to command others and to enforce obedience. It is usually conferred, through appointment or election, on someone having a position in an organizational setting. Power is usually thought of as influence and authority that are seized rather than earned or voluntarily conferred. Often what begins as welcomed leadership or acknowledged authority is later transformed by an ambitious person into power or tyranny. (255-256)
From here Liefield launches into a wide ranging survey of Scripture examining authority from a wide variety of angles. Using his outline, I will offer some brief statements on his conclusions.
Instances of Authority in the New Testament
The authority of Jesus – Jesus said that "'all authority in heaven and on earth, had been given to him." At issue for us is what dimension of his unique authority, if any, was passed on to his followers." (257)
The authority of the Twelve – The only mention of exousia (authority) with relation to the disciples refers to authority over demons. Peter was given the keys to the Kingdom and an implied authority to "bind" and "loose" is given, but in neither mention of this story is it linked to teaching or preaching. There is a wide variety of interpretations as to what the keys mean. Bottom line, Liefield concludes authority over the evil powers was the only authority given to the twelve.
Paul's Apostolic Authority – "First, he exercised authority over his coworkers … and churches he himself founded. Second, he primarily uses exousia ("authority") language in a struggle with the Corinthians over "rights" (1 Cor 8:9; 9:1-18). Third, with the exception of urgent and emotional cases, he was usually gentle in his authority, "urging" rather than commanding Timothy and Titus … and not issuing a "command" to the Corinthians (2 cor 8:8)." (258)
The Question of Authority and "Church Government" – Liefield writes, "While there is clear evidence for the fact of early church governance, there is no express teaching on the subject in the New Testament." (258) From here Liefield moves into an examination of verses like Hebrews 13:17, "Obey your leaders and submit to them." The key word is peitho "obey" and Liefield suggest it is quite fluid in meaning. The TNIV reads "Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority." This verse challenges the idea that there was no authority but the wording is "…clearly temperate in comparison to stronger terms in the same semantic domain. (259)
A second word he examines is proistemi which he says can mean "'to show concern/ care for / devote oneself to' and 'to be at the head of' (thus to exercise leadership.)" (259-260) It appears eight times in Paul's writings and in four cases it tends to convey the idea of leader giving devoted care. Four other cases are found in the Pastoral epistles.
Authority in the Pastoral Epistles – "Proistemi" appears three times in 1 Timothy 3:4-5, 12 and relates to and elder's or deacon's relationship to this family. The key verse is I Timothy 5:17
"Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching; …" (NRSV)
In place of "rule," some translations use "guide" or "direct the affairs of the church." Liefield believes the alternate translations are more in keeping with the connotation of the word elsewhere. "As with 1 Thessalonians 5:12, this description shows evidence of a plurality of leadership, a group who are to be respected, esteemed, loved and honored (probably with financial support.) (261)
Liefield notes that in most places, leadership is described more in terms of guidance and caring, and less in terms of authority. He notes there are exceptions like 1 Timothy 1:3 where Timothy is commanded to halt teaching of false doctrines but it is clear is not an elder or past or but rather Paul's apostolic representative with Paul's full authority.
Specifically Gender-Related Passages – Liefield draws our attention to 1 Corinthians 7:1-5 dealing with the sexual relationship between husband and wife. Neither the husband nor the wife has authority over his or her own body. "Thus in the most intimate aspect of marriage the authority of husband and wife is equal." (262) Liefield mentions the confusing 1 Corinthians 11:11-12 passage about a woman having "authority (control) over her head" but Liefield says that the head covering "…is not a 'sign' the woman is under authority." (262) He also mentions 1 Timothy 2:12 but notes that exousia is not used here. Rather the word is authenteo and as we have already visited this issue in an earlier chapter I will not revisit it here.
Order and Structure in the New Testament Churches
Discussion about authority in today's church can easily move in the wrong direction. It often starts with one's own church structure and with assumptions that are more characteristic of our times than of the first century. It then moves back to the New Testament, seeking to fit its teachings into our contemporary structures. (263)
With this caution, Liefield then turns to other aspect of Church order and structure.
Organization, ministry and leadership – New Testament "Church organization probably differed somewhat from place to place, but as noted above, churches founded by Paul, at least, had plural leadership by elders. The early church had no equivalent to the Old Testament priesthood, nor is there evidence in the New Testament that one person with special authorization 'presided' at the Lord's Supper.'" (263-264) "Apostles unquestionably were acknowledged as the leading figures in the church; but no provision is made in the New Testament for their "succession." People designated as 'pastors' functioned within congregations, not above them." (264) "With the exception of the Pastoral Epistles, addressed to Paul's apostolic delegates, Paul's letters are addressed to the churches themselves. None is addressed to a single leader, nor is one person ever spoken to as being 'in charge' of the church." (264)
The Role of Teachers – Liefield references the idea of "teaching authority" as an activity women are frequently restricted from engaging in. "…there is no verbal connection in the New Testament between the word teacher and the vocabulary of authority. Hence the very term teaching authority, as though authority were vested in the teacher rather than in what is taught, it is an anachronism when we are discussing teaching/teachers in the New Testament." (265)
Liefield also observes that "What is often overlooked in these discussion is that women traditionally were not welcomed as teachers in either Greek or Jewish society….If missionaries, like Paul, were to be all things to all people to win them to Christ (1 Cor 9:22), public proclamation of Christian teachings would ideally be done by men." (265)
The Role of Elders – "First, there is no evidence of an individual elder who acted with autonomous authority. Eldership was plural, whether in a church or in a town. ... Second, elders were shepherds, not a board of directors. … On the other hand, nowhere does Paul say that individuals or groups possessing an ongoing authority made the decisions. (266)
Ordination – "It is increasingly recognized that while ordination is significant, it is not found in its usual modern sense in the New Testament or in early Christianity. The practice as we know it developed toward the third Christian century. … Whatever else, the laying on of hands was not an appointment to an "office" but corporate recognition of a ministry already in progress, which is the point of 1 Timothy 5:22. … The fact that the New Testament church did not practice ordination as commonly understood today is significant, because spiritual authority has long been connected with ordination.
The Use of Titles and the Term "office." Here Liefield quotes Jesus in Matthew 23:8-12:
"But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for you have only one Master and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called 'teacher,' for you have one Teacher, the Christ. The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."
…. office is not a New Testament church term. The concept of "office can be traced to the English word in the KJV, which gave the impression that it is in the Greek text; but in none of the passages in which the KJV has the word office (except concerning the Jewish priesthood) does any word meaning "office" occur in the Greek. (268)
Contemporary Expressions of Authority
De jure, de facto and de senso Authority
"If decisions regarding authority in the contemporary church are to be considered biblically legitimate (=de jure) for the church, they must derive from biblical principles and precedents such as those discussed above. Yet it would be unrealistic to ignore the fact that often individuals have an actual (de facto) rule over others in a setting where Scripture does not grant the de jure authority. An aura of de facto authority, for example, sometimes marks the founders of the congregation with de facto authority. … the prominence of today's senior pastor and preacher has tended to increase the perceived (or what we might call de senso) authority of the person in the pulpit over those in the congregation." (269)
Further Practical Issues
If authority is in the church itself as a "committee of the whole," do women have a vote? [Therefore in authority.] …Another issue is whether the preaching of a sermon is an authoritative act, because that logically carries the implication that the congregation must obey the imperatives in the sermon, not just those in the Scripture being quoted. Further, churches may differ as to whether baptism and "presiding" at the Lord's Supper are acts of authority that should be restricted to ordained clergy. This is de jure in some denominations but undocumented and therefore de facto in some churches. (270)
Concluding Observations: Four Distortions
Formalization – Over emphasizing the authority of people fulfilling a function and creating "offices." Elevating some in "authority" (through ordination) over others.
Normalization – Attributing New Testament apostolic authority to pastors.
Generalization – Taking a specific case like 1 Timothy 2:12 and authenteo and then applying to women in all places and times.
Minimalization – The tendency to minimize the ministry of women both in the New Testament and today.
Liefield closes, reminding us that all church authority is under Christ, under Scripture and under the leading of the Holy Spirit. Leadership is a matter of servanthood and, "The purpose of authority is to glorify the Lord and to facilitate his mission in the world." (271)
Walter L. Liefield received his Ph.D from Columbia University and Union Theological Seminary. He is distinguished professor emeritus of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. He has held several pastorates, most recently serving as senior pastor of Christ Church in Lake Forest, Illinois. Among his several books are New Testament Exposition, Interpreting the Book of Acts and (cowritten with Ruth Tucker) Daughters of the Church. He and his wife, Olive, have three grown children and seven grandchildren.

Bastian Schweinsteiger retires from football
by Mridul October 9, 2019 October 9, 2019
Bastian Schweinsteiger announced retirement from football. The German declared to end his professional playing adventure days after the end of the MLS season, where Chicago Fire finished 17th. Schweinsteiger wasn't happy with his performance and wanted to give his fans more. Schweinsteiger came from the aroma of Bayern's set up and gave his service to the five-time European champions team from 2002 to 2015, where he won eight league titles, seven German Cup titles, one Champions League and various other honors.
The 35-year-old, who retired from his national duty in 2016, played a distinguished role in Germany's success as he helped the European powerhouse to win the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Before joining MLS back in 2017, Schweinsteiger played for Manchester United, where once Jose Mourinho forced him to train with the under23 squad.
Schweinsteiger respected the club even after not seeing a great level of respect. Mourinho later said that it was a mistake to not give the German a prominent level of admiration. Schweinsteiger was a hero on the pitch and is the hero off the pitch too.

Russian Cybercrime Operation Leads to 25 Arrests and the Closure of BuyBest Marketplace
Russian law enforcement have apprehended 25 people as part of an investigation to wipe out a network of illegal online platforms that supported the illicit buying and selling of payment cards and stolen personal information.
The Federal Security Service (FSB) arrested the more than two dozen persons, among them Russian nationals and foreigners, who have allegedly been masterminding a digital identity theft racket via dark web.
It is reported that the cybercriminals operated a dark web marketplace called BuyBest/GoldenShop, and several other mirror websites that facilitated the illicit trade.
According to a Russian court file document, a threat intelligence firm had issued an alert on the cybercriminal ring that implicated the accused hacker Alexey Stroganovto (alias Flint24) be among the arrested individuals.
Apart from running dark web sites, it is alleged that Flint24 and his counterparts operated online shops that existed in the surface web, including wuzzup[.]com and dumpsmania24[.com].
In highlight of how big a role the 25 people played in sustaining a cybercriminal underworld, investigators discovered that the arrests had become a hot topic across Russian-language cybercriminal platforms.
Among the defendants arrested by Russian authorities included Ukranian and Lithuanian nationals spread around 11 Russian regions. In material terms, the arrests led to searches that yielded about $1 million in cash, 3 million rubles, gold bars, devices such as computers and servers, guns, fake IDs including Russian and government identification documents.
The Dark Web Marketplace
According to the FSB, the arrested persons ran about 90 mirror sites associated with BuyBest – pages that served to keep the platforms operational in the event that the main website was taken down by authorities of hackers. Specifically, a host of sites with names such as "BuyBestCC" and "BuyBestBiz" became conduits for the movement of stolen personal data. Detectives also found out that the criminals promoted their services on another platform called CarderBazar.
Reflecting on the FSB's takedown of the BuyBest platform along with its mirror sites, Gemini Advisory (a New York-based fraud intelligence company) confirmed that BuyBest/GoldenShop had gone offline. At this point, cached pages can still be accessed online – which promote databases of payment cards, including debit PIN numbers that most cybercriminals struggle to acquire.
In terms of market activity, Gemini Advisory wrote that the BuyBest/GoldenShop platform was created in 2013 and had so far been a highly profitable venture for its operators. The firm estimates that 7 years since its creation, the entire enterprise garnered $70 million – about $18 million being remitted to the platform's owners, and about $52 million earned by the market's suppliers of stolen data.
Overtime, BuyBest/GoldenShop became a leader is the trade of phished data, including Social Security Numbers (SSNs), dates of birth (DOBs) and people's IP addresses. By the time the Russian authorities descended on the platform, BuyBest had managed to sell millions of stolen card information – with some of the stolen records being tied to breaches like the 2018 data security case that hit Caribou Coffee.

Hollywood wanted to whitewash Crazy Rich Asians
Author Kevin Kwan shares his story of an early meeting with an interested producer

Hollywood came knocking on author Kevin Kwan's door even before Crazy Rich Asians hit shelves in the summer of 2013, but not every suitor came calling with the right pitch.
In fact, one potential producer had the wrong idea entirely of what would appeal to Kwan. During this early meeting, Kwan says, the producer asked him to reimagine his protagonist, Rachel (played by Constance Wu in the film), as Caucasian. "That was their strategy," he remembers. "They wanted to change the heroine into a white girl. I was like, 'Well, you've missed the point completely.' I said, 'No, thank you.'"
The idea wasn't surprising to Kwan, of course. Hollywood has tended to whitewash Asian roles in the past. But in this case, to whitewash Rachel would take away an integral part of the character's identity and also be a detriment to the story itself. Crazy Rich Asians is about a Chinese-American woman's journey back to Asia, a quintessentially Asian immigrant experience. Rachel goes through reverse culture shock as part of her journey; to remove that aspect of the character by making her a white woman would have made it a completely different story.

When Kwan shared the tale of this early meeting while on his first book tour, he says the reactions he heard wound up convincing him that a film version of the story would — against typical Hollywood thinking — appeal to audiences who weren't Asian. He recalls one stop in Texas at a book club made up of white women who were just as appalled as he was at the prospect of whitewashing Rachel. "You should've heard them scream," he says. "They were like, 'Nooo!' I remember one woman saying, 'What makes these people think that all we want to do is see the same white actors or actresses on screen?' To hear that reaction really confirmed for me what the audience wanted."
And in the end, Kwan found producers who had the same goals when it came to representation, working with The Hunger Games producer Nina Jacobson and her producing partner Brad Simpson to bring the book to the big screen. "[Nina] felt it was really important to tell the story and to have this message and to have that representation out there," Kwan says. "That was in 2013, way before the whole Hollywood whitewashing movement happened."
If anything, Kwan says seeing the film come to life has been proof that the idea to whitewash characters may finally be seen as a negative, and not as a necessity. "I do think the tide is turning, and my personal experience as far as I'm concerned has always been a very positive one, from the very beginning," he explains. "I had one of the top producers in Hollywood come to me wanting to make this movie and wanting to do it right, so I think the culture is shifting. They're seeing the importance of this."
Crazy Rich Asians hits theaters Aug. 17, 2018.

Take I5 South to Washington Hwy 2 (exit 194, the Hewitt Avenue Bridge).
Take Hwy 2 East into Monroe.
Go to the "from Monroe" directions.
Take I405 North to Washington Hwy 522 (exit 23).
Take Hwy 522 East toward Wenatchee, and at the end of the ramp move into one of the leftmost two lanes to stay on 522 toward Monroe and Wenatchee (you don't want to get on 202 to Woodinville).
Continue on Hwy 522 to the end, where the ramp curves down to meet Hwy 2.
Turn Left on Hwy 2.
You're in Monroe. Go to the "from Monroe" directions.
Take one of the bridges or any other route that makes sense to the Eastside south of Bothell, then get onto I405 northbound.
Follow the "from the Eastside" directions.
Take I5 North to I405.
Take I 405 South to Washington Hwy 522 (exit 23).
Take I5 North to Hwy 2 (exit 194, the Hewitt Avenue Bridge).
Make a left turn onto Woods Creek Road. This is not at a light, but there is a left turn lane. Look for the Shell station on the NW corner, and the Taco Time on the NE corner. The turn lane actually starts as far back as near the KFC on the left.
Follow this road, taking curves to the left, until you see a sideways T sign for Mero Road.
Turn right onto Mero Road, and travel for about 2.5 miles, to 198th Drive SE. This is the gated entrance to the Hidden Creeks development. There are lots of carved forest animal sculptures.
Turn right onto 198th Drive SE, through the gate, and across the covered bridge. Stay on this road as it curves to the left.
5708 is on the left side, the sixth house on the left, a mauve house with a wraparound porch.
Note: Hidden Creeks is a gated community, so you may find the gate closed when you arrive. If that happens, punch 006 on the keypad you'll see to your left as you approach the gate. That will dial our house and we can open the gate for you.
