You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in connection with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Annual Report"). Additional information regarding the Company is also available in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are also available on our investor relations website, investors.marronebio.com, which we also use, together with our corporate Twitter account, @Marronebio, as a means of disclosing material non-public information and for complying with our disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. We encourage our investors to monitor and review the information we make public in these locations. The information contained in the foregoing locations are not incorporated by reference into this filing, and the Company's references to website URLs are intended to be inactive textual references only.
We make bio-based pest management and plant health products. Bio-based products are comprised of naturally occurring microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, and plant extracts. Our current products target the major markets that use conventional chemical pesticides, including certain agricultural and water markets, where our bio-based products are used as alternatives for, or used in programs with, conventional chemical products. We also target new markets for which (i) there are no available conventional chemical pesticides or (ii) the use of conventional chemical pesticides may not be desirable or permissible either because of health and environmental concerns (including for organically certified crops) or because the development of pest resistance has reduced the efficacy of conventional chemical pesticides. Six of seven of our current products, including our newest biological fungicide, Stargus, are approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and registered as "biopesticides." Our first non-EPA product is Haven, a plant health product, is a "biostimulant" which requires state registrations, but does not require EPA registration. We believe our current portfolio of products and our pipeline address the growing global demand for effective, efficient and environmentally responsible products to control pests, increase crop yields and reduce crop stress.
The agricultural industry is increasingly dependent on effective and sustainable pest management practices to maximize yields and quality in a world of increased demand for agricultural products, rising consumer awareness of food production processes and finite land and water resources. In addition, our research has shown that the global market for biopesticides is growing substantially faster than the overall market for pesticides. This demand is in part a result of conventional growers acknowledging that there are tangible benefits to adopting bio-based pest management products into integrated pest management ("IPM") programs, as well as increasing consumer demand for organic food. We seek to capitalize on these global trends by providing both conventional and organic growers with solutions to a broad range of pest management needs through strategies such as adding new products to our product portfolio, continuing to broaden the commercial applications of our existing product lines, leveraging growers' positive experiences with existing product lines, educating growers with on-farm product demonstrations and controlled product launches with key target customers and other early adopters. In May 2017, we entered into an agreement with Jet Harvest Solutions to sell their contact biofungicide, Jet-Ag, in most regions of the United States, and we continue to launch new product lines, with first sales of Haven and Stargus in 2017 and Amplitude and Zelto in 2018. We believe this approach enables us to stay ahead of our competition in providing innovative pest management solutions, enhances our sales process at the distributor level and helps us to capture additional value from our products.
Our research and development efforts are focused on supporting existing commercial products, including Regalia, Grandevo, Venerate Majestene/Zelto, Haven and Stargus/Amplitude, with a focus on reducing cost of product revenues, further understanding the modes of action, manufacturing support and improving formulations. In addition, our internal efforts in development and commercialization are focused on two promising product candidates, MBI-601 (Ennoble) biofumigant, which is EPA-registered, and MBI-014 (formerly MBI-010), a bioherbicide, which was submitted to the EPA in August 2018. Simultaneously, we are seeking collaborations with third parties to develop and commercialize more early stage candidates on which we have elected not to expend significant internal resources given our reduced budget. We believe this prioritization plan, together with our competitive strengths, including our leadership in the biologicals industry, commercially available products, robust pipeline of novel product candidates, proprietary discovery and development processes and industry experience, position us for growth.
? Operating expenses continued to decline from historical levels, down approximately 19% compared to the same period in the prior year.
Other significant developments for our business during the three months ended September 30, 2018 include the expansion of our sales and marketing function, filling two key positions, the submission to the EPA of the registration package for our new bioherbicide, MBI-014, a water dispersible microbial herbicide made from a new species of heat-killed bacteria, Burkholderia rinojensis, and our execution of an exclusive distribution agreement with Hop Tri Investment Corporation for three MBI products in Vietnam and Cambodia, expanding our international presence.
Historically, we have funded our operations from the issuance of shares of common stock, preferred stock, warrants and convertible notes, the issuance of debt and entry into financing arrangements, product sales, payments under strategic collaboration and distribution agreements and government grants, but we have experienced significant losses as we invested heavily in research and development, as well as in the continued development, expansion and marketing of our product portfolio.
In 2018, we completed several equity and debt refinancing transactions that we believe represent significant milestones in our corporate history. On February 5, 2018, pursuant to the securities purchase agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") entered into on December 15, 2017 with certain investors named therein, including Ospraie Ag Science LLC ("Ospraie"), we issued to these investors, an aggregate of 44,000,001 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 41,333,333 of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $30.0 million including the conversion of $6.0 million of principal amounts outstanding under a series of debt agreements with a third party for the issuance of convertible debt ("Secured December 2017 Convertible Note").
Also on February 5, 2018, we converted, pursuant to an amendment, dated December 15, 2017, to the senior secured promissory notes we had previously sold to affiliates of Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. ("August 2015 Secured Promissory Notes") $35.0 million aggregate principal amount of the August 2015 Senior Secured Promissory Notes into an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares of common stock (such conversion, the "Waddell Debt Conversion"), such that $5.0 million of principal under the August 2015 Senior Secured Promissory Notes is outstanding as of September 30, 2018. Also on February 5, 2018, we converted, pursuant to an amendment, dated December 15, 2017, to various debt agreements entered into in 2013 and 2014 (the "October 2012 and April 2013 Secured Promissory Notes"), $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding under the October 2012 and April 2013 Secured Promissory Notes to an aggregate of 5,714,285 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,142,856 shares of common stock (such conversion, the "Snyder Debt Conversion"), such that $2.5 million of principal under the October 2012 and April 2013 Secured Promissory Notes is outstanding as of September 30, 2018. Simultaneously with the Snyder Debt Conversion, the maturity of the October 2012 and April 2013 Secured Promissory Notes was extended to December 31, 2022, the interest was reduced from 14% to 8% and all interest payments under the October 2012 and April 2013 Secured Promissory Notes were deferred to the maturity of the October 2012 and April 2013 Secured Promissory Notes on December 31, 2022.
In addition, in April 2018, we completed an underwritten public offering of 8,366,250 registered shares of common stock sold at a public offering price of $1.65 per share. The total gross proceeds to the Company from the offerings were $13.8 million, with aggregate net proceeds of approximately $12.7 million.
These transactions have provided financial support to our continued operations and future development goals for the foreseeable future, have resulted in significant improvements to our balance sheet and reductions to our interest expense going forward, and are expected to continue to result in significant improvements to our future cash flows compared to prior periods.
We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with revenue recognition, including assumptions and estimates used in determining the timing and amount of revenue to recognize, inventory valuation and share-based compensation have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and create common revenue recognition guidance between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for such goods or services. As documented in Note 2 of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the adoption of this standard had a material impact on these financial statements and is expected to have a material impact on our future financial statements. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, our revenues were $0.5 million and $0.1 million less than they would have been if we had accounted for revenue under the standard effective for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. We expect that the implementation of this new standard will continue to have a material impact on our financial statements from quarter to quarter.
Our total revenues were $5.4 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Our total revenues were $15.5 million and $14.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We generate our revenues primarily from product sales, which are principally attributable to sales of our Regalia, Grandevo and Venerate product lines, but which also included sales of Majestene, Zequanox, Bio-Tam 2.0, Haven, Stargus and Jet-Ag. We believe that prior to our February Stock and Debt Conversion Transaction, concerns and rumors regarding our ability to continue operations impacted our ability to grow more robustly. Going forward, we believe our revenues may largely be impacted by weather, trade tariffs and other factors that affect commodity prices, natural disasters and other factors affecting planting and growing seasons and incidence of pests and plant disease, and, accordingly, the decisions by our distributors, direct customers and end users about the types and amounts of pest management and plant health products to purchase and the timing of use of such products.
Product revenues consist of revenues generated primarily from sales to customers, net of rebates and cash discounts. Product revenues constituted 98% and 99% of our total revenues for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Product revenues in the United States constituted 91% and 97% of our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and 91% and 92% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
exclusive rights that we provide over the term of the strategic collaboration and distribution agreements, revenues related to the payments received are deferred and recognized as revenues over the term of the exclusive period of the respective agreements, which we estimate to be between 5 and 17 years based on the terms of the contract and the covered products and regions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, license revenues constituted 2% and 1% of total revenues, respectively. As of September 30, 2018, including agreements with related parties discussed below, we had received an aggregate of $3.7 million in payments under our strategic collaboration and distribution agreements. There will be an additional $0.8 million in payments under these agreements that we could potentially receive if the testing validation, regulatory progress and commercialization events occur.
We have entered into in-license technology agreements with respect to the use and commercialization of four of our commercially available product lines, Regalia, Grandevo, Zequanox and Haven, and certain products under development. Under these licensing arrangements, we typically make royalty payments based on net product revenues, with royalty rates varying by product and ranging between 2% and 5% of net sales, subject in certain cases to aggregate dollar caps. These royalty payments are included in cost of product revenues, but they have historically not been significant. The exclusivity and royalty provisions of these agreements are generally tied to the expiration of underlying patents. The patents for Regalia and Zequanox expired in 2017 and the in-licensed U.S. patent for Grandevo is expected to expire in 2024. There is, however, a pending in-licensed patent application relating to Grandevo, which could expire later than 2024 if issued. The licensed patents for Haven begin to expire in 2019. After the termination of these provisions, we may continue to produce and sell these products. While third parties thereafter may develop products using the technology under expired patents, we do not believe that they can produce competitive products without infringing other aspects of our proprietary technology, including pending patent applications related to Regalia, Grandevo, Zequanox, and Haven and we therefore do not expect the expiration of the patents or the related exclusivity obligations to have a significant adverse financial or operational impact on our business.
We expect to see increases in gross profit over the life cycle of each of our products as gross margins are expected to increase over time as production processes improve and as we gain efficiencies and increase product yields. While we expect margins to improve on a product-by-product basis, our overall gross margins may vary as we introduce new products. In particular, we may experience downward pressure on overall gross margins as we rollout Haven and Stargus/Amplitude and expand sales of Grandevo and Zequanox. Gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including plant utilization, product manufacturing yields, changes in production processes, new product introductions, product sales mix, sales incentives such as discounts and rebates and average selling prices.
In July 2012, we acquired a manufacturing facility, which we repurposed for manufacturing operations. We began full-scale manufacturing using this facility in 2014 of our products Regalia, Grandevo and Zequanox. We continue to use third party manufacturers for Venerate, Majestene, Haven, and Stargus/Amplitude, and for spray-dried powder formulations of Grandevo and Zequanox. We expect gross margins to improve using this facility as sales volumes recover enough to reduce under absorbed labor and overhead from our facility.
Research, development and patent expenses include personnel costs, including salaries, wages, benefits and share-based compensation, related to our research, development and patent staff in support of product discovery and development activities. Research, development and patent expenses also include costs incurred for laboratory supplies, field trials and toxicology tests, quality control assessment, consultants and facility and related overhead costs. Our research, development and patent expenses have historically comprised a significant portion of our operating expenses, amounting to $2.6 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $7.7 million and $8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We have utilized a significant portion of our research and development resources to improve margins on existing products and pipeline products to market. We are also seeking collaborations with third parties to develop and commercialize more early stage candidates, on which we have elected not to expend significant resources given our reduced budget.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, wages, benefits and share-based compensation, related to our executive, sales, marketing, finance and human resources personnel, as well as professional fees, including legal and accounting fees, and other selling costs incurred related to business development and to building product and brand awareness. We create brand awareness through programs such as speaking at industry events, trade show displays and hosting local-level grower and distributor meetings. In addition, we dedicate significant resources to technical marketing literature, targeted advertising in print and online media, webinars and radio advertising. Costs related to these activities, including travel, are included in selling expenses.
Although we expect selling, general, and administrative expenses to remain approximately flat in all departments with the exception of sales and marketing, we have been actively building a sales and marketing organization that provides better ability to educate and support customers and for our product development staff to undertake responsibility for technical sales support, field trials and demonstrations to promote sales growth. In particular, over the course of 2018, we have been increasing our marketing communications campaigns and putting more "boots on the ground", which we believe should increase grower demand, or pull-through, and develop new customers, as well as expand business with existing customers.
We recognize interest expense on notes payable and other debt obligations. In June 2014, we entered into a $10.0 million promissory note with a variable interest rate that varies with the prime rate. Accordingly, our interest expense will increase as the prime rate increases.
In August 2015, we issued and sold the August 2015 Secured Promissory Notes to affiliates of Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. in the aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million with a fixed interest rate of 8%. In accordance with the related accounting guidance, because we recognized a gain on the partial extinguishment of this debt, we were required to include all future interest and additional consideration, which included accrued interest, under the terms of this agreement as a reduction of the gain. As a result, the amount of the debt on the Company's balance sheet related to the August 2015 Senior Secured Promissory Notes is $7.3 million as compared to $5.0 million of contractual principal amount outstanding thereunder. Going forward, subject to future amendments to debt agreement or costs, we will not recognize future interest expense on the August 2015 Senior Secured Promissory Notes.
As of December 31, 2017, we had $12.5 million in outstanding principal related to the October 2012 and April 2013 Secured Promissory Notes. In February 2018, $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding under the October 2012 and April 2013 Secured Promissory Notes was converted into shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock as discussed in Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2018, $2.5 million of principal indebtedness remains outstanding under this the . . .

Throwback: Oldest man in the world reveals the secret to living a long life before dying
By the_Kelvin_guy (self media writer) | 1 year ago
Japan's Chitetsu Watanabe became the world's oldest male at the age of 112, according to Guinness World Records. He received this honor on the 12th day of February in 2020. The encyclopedia had reported that Watanabe, who was born on March 5, 1907, in Niigata, north of Tokyo, officially received the title of the world's oldest male in the city's nursing home. What an honor to receive such a prestigious title it was.
Sadly for the world, Watanabe couldn't hold on just eleven days after being crowned the world's oldest male. It is said that he died eleven days later at 11:10 pm on the 23rd of February which was just eleven days to his 113tg h birthday. Watanabe, who married and had five children, pointed out a very important thing which could make a person live longer on earth days before dying.
After being asked the reason to his long life on earth, he replied that smiling is the key to longevity, saying, "The secret of longevity is not to be angry and to keep a smile on your face." Can you imagine? Smiling can actually make you live long? I guess it is high time we tend to discard anger and go in for smiley faces. If smiling made him look such old, we are assured that we can also live long on this world if we tend to always smile and laugh.
He admitted that he liked sweets such as custard, which did not seem to do him any harm. Watanabe's announcement as the oldest male came after the previous record holder, Marazu Nonaka, also a Japanese who died at the age of 112 years and 266 days. Japan has the highest life expectancy in the world and has been home to several people who are recognized as among the oldest humans on Earth.
Among them is Jerome Kimura, the longest-lived man in the series, who died shortly after his 116th birthday in June 2013. Guinness stated that the oldest person ever to be verified was French Jeanne Louise Calment, who died in 1997 at the age of 122 years.
Maybe we all can life long like them if we make it a point to smile.

Recently I have discovered that Bubba has a allergy to Red dyes and they cause him to become mean and hateful. You would never think a dye in food could cause your child to have a personality change but it does occur very often. Since discovering this we have cut Red Dye out of diet and our children's as well. This was not a easy thing to do because everything seems to have food dyes in them. With that said I would like to introduce you to YumEarth a company that helps me give my children the snacks they want without all the dyes.
I received a pack of YumEarth's fruit snacks for the kids to try and they ate them all before I could get pictures. Gotta love kids and their love of yummy snacks. I always worry about getting the kids Organic snacks because we all know that the added junk is what usually makes them taste better even though it's not good for us. The kids however LOVED how these fruit snacks tasted and I love that they are good for them!
I don't know about you but that list makes me happy to see especially when it's on a product for kids. We have tried the YumEarth Organic lollipops in the past but they were given to Sweet Pea as a birthday gift because everyone knows she loves lollipops. I had not heard of YumEarth until then but now I am in love with the company and their products. I like that they are available at my local stores as well so I don't have to always order online and wait for them to arrive. To see if YumEarth is sold in any local stores near you check here.
How would you like to try YumEarth? If so make sure you stop by my Back 2 School Bash 2 Giveaway and enter to win some!!
I prefer to eat organic food as well. For the kiddos and for me... it is a healthier choice. Thanks for sharing.
Oh I have to find these... I wonder if they are sold anywhere by me. I LOVE the list of "perks" - this is exactly what I look for in snacks. Thanks for sharing!
My kids love fruit snacks, but I hardly buy them because most are so full of sugar and have practically zero nutritional value. Will have to check these out!

Arts & Faith for Lent
Cycle C: Lent 2022
Arts & Faith: Ash Wednesday III
See all articles in this series.
John Berney Crome, "Great Gale at Yarmouth on Ash Wednesday," 1836
John Berney Crome's Great Gale at Yarmouth on Ash Wednesday invites us into the Lenten season with a story told in the visual language of romanticism. This style of painting often showcased strong emotion through the power and majesty of nature. Crome preferred marine and coastal scenes, as in the case of this turbulent depiction of clouds and waves converging on the coast of Yarmouth.
The main forces in this scene are the waves and the clouds. The clouds, dynamic in their movement, communicate the unseen power of the wind. That wind stirs up the waves that toss the boat on the left and sprays water forcefully against the row of coastal houses on the right. This all brings to mind a battle between nature and the human-made elements of the scene.
The clouds are varied: large white clouds in the back against patches of sky are overshadowed by dark storm clouds in the front. These storm clouds are slanted and purging themselves of rain in the wind. The central black cloud is especially imposing; it is smeared, in the shape of a cross, much like the sign marked on foreheads on Ash Wednesday.
Ash Wednesday's second reading calls out with urgency: "now is the acceptable time…now is the day of salvation." Lent calls us to conversion, and conversion without delay. The path to the Easter font, though, is often through turbulent waters. Like the boat in Crome's painting, we are tossed in the waves of our own desires and follies. Or, like the shore houses on the right, we are assaulted by our temptations and selfishness. Ash Wednesday is the day to face these anew with the belief that the wind is not a threat, but perhaps the breath of the Spirit that seeks to drive away all that keeps us from the fullness of life.
Commentary is by Daniella Zsupan-Jerome, assistant professor of liturgy, catechesis, and evangelization at Loyola University New Orleans.
Related Ignatian reflection on this week's art
Paper Crosses
In the seasonal lesson for Lent in Christ Our Life, Grade 6, young people discuss the meaning of the Sign of the Cross traced on our forehead on Ash Wednesday. Lead a discussion with your class. Say: On Ash Wednesday, after we have received the blessed ashes on our forehead, we think about God's mercy and love for us. Why do you think the priest traces the Sign of the Cross with the ashes? (It reminds us that God sent us his Son to be our Savior. It reminds us that we are saved through Jesus' Death on the Cross.)
We also thank Jesus for his love and tell him how much we love him. We remember that he rose from the dead to a new life and that someday we will live with him forever in heaven.
Distribute paper crosses to the students. Invite them to write a prayer on their cross, asking for God's love and mercy in their lives.
Conclude in prayer. Have the students place their paper crosses in a basket in front of a cross or crucifix that you have displayed in the prayer center. As they do this, play reflective music or a song of repentance. Conclude by praying together an Act of Contrition.

Obama keeps pushing the bipartisan religion of interventionism
Too often, I believe, Americans think about Washington's interventionism only as the actual physical intervention of U.S. military forces abroad in places where no U.S. interest is at risk. That activity certainly is intervention, but President Obama's despicable decision last week to have his administration leak intelligence claiming that Israel has concluded an agreement with the government of Azerbaijan to allow its use of Azeri airfields for an air strike on Iran is just as much an unwarranted intervention by the United States government.
Readers of this blog will know that I carry no brief for Israel, that I believe it is a state that is irrelevant to U.S. national interests, and one whose U.S.-citizen supporters are disloyal to America and involved in activities that compromise U.S. security and corrupt the U.S. political system. That said, Israel — like the United States and all other nations — has an absolute right to defend itself when it deems it necessary to do so. The right of self-defense is the first and most important right of both individuals and nations. While Israel has no right to exist — and neither does America or any other nation, for that matter — it has an absolute right to defend its national interests according to its own best lights.
In the present case, Obama and his leaking-lieutenants have tried to deny Israel its right to self-defense. Washington under Obama may not agree that Israel's national security and even its survival are threatened by Iran, and they may well be right. But the Obama administration's leaking of the Azeri airfields data is an arrogant interventionist action that undermines Israel's ability to defend itself as it sees fit. It as much of an unwarranted and unconscionable foreign intervention by Washington in another nation's affairs as was the invasion of Iraq.
This is not, of course, to argue that an Israeli attack on Iran is justified or in the interests of the United States. It seems unlikely that an Israeli air strike can more than marginally retard Iran's progress toward a nuclear weapon, and such an attack will surely cost Israel something given Iran's air defense system and its worldwide terrorism capabilities. Justifying the war, then, comes down to balancing gains and losses and, on that score, it seems a close call for the Israelis. Such an attack would also further cement Israel's unchallenged position as the Muslim world's most hated enemy. But with all this said, only Israel can decide what its national interests require it to do to cope with or destroy the threat it believes Iran presents.
As far as U.S. interests are concerned an Israeli attack on Iran will be a disaster. Once underway, all the Muslim world will identify Obama's Washington as an unqualified supporter of the attack based on the past history of complete and supine bipartisan U.S. support for Israel and the fact that the Israelis will be using U.S. aircraft, ordnance, and technology to kill Iranians. Once Israel's attack commences, anything Washington has done to stop Israel from acting — be it behind-the-scenes pressure or the Azeri leak — will be irrelevant as Iran and the rest of the Islamic world will attribute ultimate responsibility for the attack to the United States. Iran will surely respond with violence against the oil industry and/or trade in its own region and via its operatives in the United States.
This surely is not a good result for the United States, and there are those who will argue that anything Washington can do to stop an Israeli strike is therefore justified, including the leak about Israel and the Azeri airfields. That argument, however, would be off the mark. As noted above, Israel and all nation-states — even Assad's Syria and Omar Bashir's Sudan — have an absolute right to defend themselves at home and abroad when and as they see fit. For one nation to put obstacles in the way of another to prevent such an exercise of legitimate self-defense is unjustifiable intervention that the intervener will come to regret. Obama's leaks, for example, have already ensured a damaging tit-for-tat Israeli leak of sensitive U.S. intelligence information, and has put an Azeri government heretofore friendly to the United States on Iran's long-term hit list. Obama has incurred these costs for Americans whether or not Israel attacks Iran in the near term.
At day's end it is vital that Americans understand that while an Israeli strike on Iran will damage U.S. interests, kill U.S. citizens, and involve the U.S. military in a war that will look very much like a clash of civilizations, the fault for this lies not with Israel but with the U.S. government and its bipartisan willingness to negate U.S. sovereignty and independence by allowing an alien foreign power to decide when the United States goes to war.
Under both political parties, Washington has performed as Israel's unquestioning supporter, ready bully boy, eager weapons supplier, and abject apologist, in large part because all administrations have failed to enforce laws on the books that would properly designate AIPAC as an agent of a foreign power; discipline U.S. senators and congressman who meet privately with Israeli prime ministers and other leaders; and much more vigorously hunt, identify, and prosecute pro-Israel U.S. citizens in the private sector, intelligence community, military, Congress, and federal civil service who illegally pass Israel sensitive military, intelligence, technological, and economic information. Such action must begin if America's sovereignty on the issue of going to war is to be restored, but for now the long record of massive U.S. government intervention on Israel's side in the latter's unending war with Muslims will be the main cause of the retribution Iran and other Muslim entities will exact from the United States if Israel attacks Iran.
Interventionism is surely among the most lethal of poisons from which our republic is suffering. But there are two sides to interventionism; one in which U.S. power is used to do something — removing Saddam, for example — and the other where it is used to prevent a nation from doing something Washington opposes, in the present case Israel's right to self-defense. Many Americans who identify themselves as non-interventionists ignore this other side of the coin and act as though to be a non-interventionist one must be pro-Palestinian, pro-Iranian, anti-Israeli, or opposed to any and all U.S. military activities overseas. This is ahistorical and dangerous nonsense.
From the Founders' era to today, the strength of non-interventionism lies in its relentless focus on keeping U.S. interests as the central determinant in drafting and implementing U.S. foreign policy. In our time, for example, Palestine is as irrelevant as Israel to U.S. interests and security; supporting the Palestinians in no way serves U.S. interests. Likewise, U.S. security and economic prosperity do not depend on Washington's intervention to promote the creation of secular democratic regimes in Egypt, Russia, Sudan, Morocco Libya, Iran, Ivory Coast, Yemen, Bahrain, China, Pakistan, Burma, Mali, and Syria. Indeed, since early 2011 such intervention in the Muslim world by Obama and Mrs. Clinton — with strong Republican support — has done nothing but cultivate Islamism and a growing anti-Americanism which will hurt U.S. security and prosperity.
One would think that the disastrous results of ill-defined, failed, and/or unnecessary U.S. interventions overseas — most recently the U.S. military defeats in Iraq and Afghanistan and the deaths and debt they caused — would make Washington's bipartisan interventionism anathema to Americans. And yet media coverage and popular reaction to Obama's interventionist leak of the Azeri airfield information have been virtually nil, even though the leak will hurt America via Israel's coming disclosure of sensitive U.S. intelligence and by strengthening the ability of the pro-Israel Fifth Column of U.S. citizens to credibly claim that Obama's leak prevented Israel from defending itself and so now Washington is responsible for protecting Israel by destroying Iran.
Unnecessary U.S. interventions overseas undermine the security, economy, and constitutional grounding of the American republic. It adds massive and utterly unpredictable costs — human and financial — to the debt burden of an already bankrupt nation, and it steadily increases the arbitrary power unwisely lodged in the hands of the president. The current election cycle ought to be the occasion for a searching debate on whether Americans really want to see their republic destroyed by unnecessary overseas commitments initiated by Ivy league-educated politicians to install their anti-religious and elitist view of how humans should be perfected by dictatorial central governments on the rest of the world. An overstatement? Yesterday, Secretary of State Clinton lectured the world on how to treat Syria and Burma — two states of no import to the United States — and promised steady U.S. involvement in each.
Meanwhile, this past weekend also saw local Tuareg tribesman and Islamist insurgents raise their flag over Timbuktu in Mali in an event that underscores the growing strength of Islamism in West Africa. The Islamists' growing power in the region is at least in part due to the Obama-Clinton-McCain-Graham intervention in Africa to impose secular democracy since the start of the so-called Arab Spring. Unsurprisingly, there is no secular democracy on tap in the region, but the intervention of Washington, Britain, France, and the UN there has ensured a rising tide of Islamism. And, unlike Burma and Syria, the stability of the West African states is an important strategic interest for the United States because we are dependent on the region's oil and strategic minerals, and because our maritime commerce is threatened by increasing piracy in the shipping lanes off its coast. As Mrs. Clinton's behaves like a silly, democracy-obsessed co-ed playing to the equally silly media on non-issues like Syria and Burma, the U.S. military's next target for intervention — West Africa — is emerging in ever clearer relief, thanks to the Obama administration's Republican-supported democracy crusade in Africa and the Congress's 40-year, bipartisan failure to assure America's energy security.
I suppose our coming military intervention in West Africa is a third variety of intervention, that which is an absolute necessity to secure genuine live-and-death U.S. national interests after they long have been left unprotected by a feckless two-party system that attracts men and women who detest the Founders, have no contact with reality, and care only for reelection.

They are in the city.
1:05:56 Hat Shop
McKenna is going to buy her a hat.
1:06:30 Day Street
McKenna meets Captain Davies. He tells him the names of his contacts: McAndrew, Dougherty, Frazier, Kehoe. The captain gives McKenna money because he told the Mollies he was going to pass off some counterfeit bills.
Mary Raines and McKenna kiss. Mary Raines wants a better lifestyle -- more than a miner. She won't give him her heart (or her body).
1:09:55 At the Mines
Children working, sifting through the coal for impurities and sizing it. McKenna is there, doing the children's work. The loading of a train.
1:12:20 Railroad Tracks

1:13:40 Night in the Tavern
McKenna sits with the Mollies, drinking. Captain Davies walks in and straight for McKenna, asking about a "queer" bill, telling him to watch out. Black Jack says, "No more of this," ripping up the fake note.
1:14:43 Frazier's House
The Hibernians meet. Black Jack runs the meeting. After the meeting, the Molly Maguires stay, inviting McKenna. (1:15:54) McKenna is brought in and accepted as a Molly. Black Jack begins talking about a Shenandoah superintendent who is mistreating miners. They've been asked to "make an impression" -- to kill the man. Deliberation ensues.

Frazier is getting fixed up by his wife. Black Jack, Frazier, and McKenna talk about potential outcome of the shooting. (1:22:17) Black Jack and McKenna talk on the way home about "all for one and one for all." They are becoming friends, in a solemn, honest way. As thick as thieves.
1:23:29 The Mines
The police captain pulls miners after work off of the trolley that pulls them up from the depths, including the Mollies.
1:23:52 Police Compound
They are being interrogated one at a time. (1:24:12) Captain Davies talks with McKenna; Mary Raines has lied for his alibi.

People file in.
1:27:17 In the Country
McKenna and Mary Raines go for a walk.
1:28:59 Hillside
Mary Raines and McKenna fight about morality and the ways things in the world are. He is trying for her with riddles, an old way for a man to catch a woman, but she knows all of them. "Decency is not for the poor." They fight, sort of. Romantic ending of scene with the insinuation that they physically engaged one another sexually.
1:32:36 Frazier's Bedroom
People with police trousers showing out of their overcoats barge into Frazier's house and shoot him and his wife dead. The baby screams.
1:33:03 Cemetary

Mollies meet, minus Frazier. They argue whether or not they should go after the police. Dougherty is for it. McKenna is against it and lays down the points. Black Jack is stubborn. McKenna argues. Black Jack puts his foot down. He is sick of running and hiding and laying low. He wants to fight them.
1:35:51 The Police Compound
The Mollies approach the police headquarters. Only to get ambushed. Black Jack, McAndrews, and McKenna fight their way to freedom, but the police get Dougherty.
McKenna meets Captain Davies. Kehoe is who the captain wants. McKenna tells the captain that he'll have him.
1:39:05 In the Mine
There are calls for Kehoe.
She tells Kehoe, who runs up, that the old man is dying. The priest is inside. Father O'Connor tells Black Jack that Dougherty's being tried for the murder of the superintendent and is as good as dead. He tells Kehoe that there is an informer in their midst. He pleads with Black Jack to return to the church. "Sin at the start. Grace at the end. Bowing your head in between. I can't accept that, Father." Father O'Connor replies, "Then you'll die in sin." (1:42:13) Kehoe leaves as Father O'Connor gives the old man the last rights.
At the wake for Mr. Raines, women are in one room wailing like banshees. Drunk men are in the other room, laughing and talking. (1:43:50) McKenna and Black Jack talk about life and the fiery nature of their souls, only how McKenna is more reasonable and Black Jack is more fiery. Black Jack talks about Mr. Raines. "43 years in the pits and not even an echo in the air." (1:45:44) Black Jack freaks out, screaming at the old man's corpse. (1:47:00) McAndrew says, 'They haven't even left him a proper suit to be buried in.'
Black Jack goes down to the store to steal a suit. People follow.
1:47:52 Store

Mary Raines stops and silently communicates to Mrs. Kehoe, who is working in her garden.
1:51:20 Field to Mines / Mines
The remaining Molly Maguires -- McAndrew, Black Jack, and McKenna -- are going to blow up the mine, but when they open the explosives shed to gain access to the powder, the police rush out and arrest them (1:52:44).
1:53:00 Courtroom
John Kehoe, Frank McAndrew, and Thomas Dougherty are in court and are charged with the murder of John W. Jones, the superintendent. (1:54:10) McKenna takes the stand. His identity as James McParlan is revealed. (1:54:35) His position as a detective is declared as well. (1:54:52) Dougherty rushes him, but is held back by the bailiff. (1:55:18) The jury comes in, pronouncing "Guilty". (1:55:32) The three are sentenced to execution by hanging. (1:55:00) Coming out of the witness room, the captain tells McParlan / McKenna he'll get over it. McKenna says he knows, he just "needs to get high enough." There is a potential promotion he might get in Denver. (1:56:20) The courtroom is clear except for Mary Raines. She tells McParlan she's sorry he was an informer and that now, she really doesn't like him.
1:58:10 Jail
McParlan / McKenna visits Black Jack in his cell. McParlan asks why. Black Jack: There's them on top and them below. Push up. Push down. Who's got more push, that's all that counts. McParlan: They always had more. The two reminisce about the past. McParlan enjoyed all the criminal activity. They joke. (2:01:15) McParlan tells Black Jack that he made his sound; no regrets there. (2:01:27) In a powerful ending, Black Jack tells him he's come here for absolution; not forgiveness, that he can get from a woman, but that he has come here for punishment. "You need to be freed from what you've done. So that you can get on with your new life. Suppose it's my Christian heart, but I could never stand a man bearing a cross." Black Jack attacks McParlan and is beaten down by the cops. "Are you free now?" asks Black Jack. "I'm much obliged," returns McParlan. (2:02:40) "You'll never be free. There isn't a punishment this side of hell can free you from what you've done." In closing, McParlan says, "See you in hell."
2:03:20 Prison Courtyard
On McParlan's way out, a hangman tests the mechanics of the gallows. McParlan walks through as the middle of three platforms goes "shunk," leaving a sand bag hanging on a tightened noose.

Principles for scaling of distributed direct potable water reuse systems: A modeling study
Tianjiao Guo, James D. Englehardt
Civil, Architectural & Environmental Engineering
Scaling of direct potable water reuse (DPR) systems involves tradeoffs of treatment facility economy-of-scale, versus cost and energy of conveyance including energy for upgradient distribution of treated water, and retention of wastewater thermal energy. In this study, a generalized model of the cost of DPR as a function of treatment plant scale, assuming futuristic, optimized conveyance networks, was constructed for purposes of developing design principles. Fractal landscapes representing flat, hilly, and mountainous topographies were simulated, with urban, suburban, and rural housing distributions placed by modified preferential growth algorithm. Treatment plants were allocated by agglomerative hierarchical clustering, networked to buildings by minimum spanning tree. Simulations assume advanced oxidation-based DPR system design, with 20-year design life and capability to mineralize chemical oxygen demand below normal detection limits, allowing implementation in regions where disposal of concentrate containing hormones and antiscalants is not practical. Results indicate that total DPR capital and O&M costs in rural areas, where systems that return nutrients to the land may be more appropriate, are high. However, costs in urban/suburban areas are competitive with current water/wastewater service costs at scales of ca. one plant per 10,000 residences. This size is relatively small, and costs do not increase significantly until plant service areas fall below 100 to 1000 homes. Based on these results, distributed DPR systems are recommended for consideration for urban/suburban water and wastewater system capacity expansion projects.

On Episode 1 of UFC 189 Embedded, the sport's biggest stars converge in New York City, including featherweight contender Conor McGregor, welterweight champion Robbie Lawler and his opponent Rory MacDonald. After two days of UFC Fight Kit photo shoots, the sport's champions, executives and media turn out for a massive Reebok launch. And there's more big news brewing, as featherweight champion Jose Aldo announces that he'll be unable to fight at UFC 189 – forcing McGregor to quickly shift gears for a new opponent, Chad Mendes. In Sacramento, California, Mendes charges head-first into training for the just-announced title fight. UFC Embedded is an all-access, behind-the-scenes video blog leading up to the championship doubleheader at UFC 189: Mendes vs. McGregor, taking place Saturday, July 11 on Pay-Per-View.


There are beautiful pictures of iconic stars like Greta Garbo, Lillian Gish and Humphrey Bogart on the sets of their most beloved films mixed with scenes of their personal lives, sound stages, and the film crews. But this isn't solely a book of pictures, something to look at but not read, but rather a book that tells a story.
Starting with silent films, you'll learn how photographers attempted to capture stars in still shots, what lighting and angles and clothing helped them create the image that studios and the public wanted to see. The femininity of an actress was played up in an entirely different way in those early images.
As the public's tastes changed, so did the images of the stars and it was the job of the still photographer to find a way to cater to those changing tastes. Often working with the stars themselves to present images that showed them in only the way they wanted to be seen, still photography gives us a lasting look at Hollywood in the Golden Age.
Hollywood Movie Stills ($24.95) is a beautiful collection of classic images and the detailed story of the development of movie still photography. If you're a movie buff or photographer you'll find this look at old Hollywood fascinating.

What is your story? How did you end up in Milwaukee?
I was born and raised in Colombia, and I moved to the United States for College to attend the University of Florida (Go Gators!), where I graduated with a degree in Aerospace and Mechanical engineering. I was recruited by Rockwell Automation #clocktower for a Leadership Rotational Program, in which every six months I will be in a new location with a different Job. Within the first 6 months here in MKE I wanted to move away in the hopes that one of my rotations will take me somewhere warmer, specially after moving here straight from Miami. Simple questions , like "why did I needed a shovel in the trunk of my car?", were tough to comprehend at the time, but the warmth of the Midwest culture, and the new friendship families created, always made me want to come back after every trip.
What keeps you in Milwaukee/What do you like best about Milwaukee?
I love the people in Milwaukee. My family is in Miami and Colombia, but I have been blessed with friendships here in MKE that have turned into family. I travel a lot for work and I never seen so much love and pride given to a city from its long term natives and the transplants. Love and Pride that is not based on a national popularity, but on the experiences and relationships formed here.
Favorite spot in the city?
The Lakefront/Lake Michigan for Sailing. The Eastside for living.
Milwaukee festival you are eager to attend each year?
Bastille Days, Summer Solstice and Beerfest.
What drew you to Echelon?
When I worked at Rockwell Automation, I use to lead the Latino Resource group that allowed me to help organize a lot of community events to give back through partner organizations like United Way. All those hours of volunteering stopped once I left the Corporate world in 2015, and I was looking for a mission fit of an organization to volunteer with, and I found Echelon thanks to Brandon Tshacher July 2016.
Share with us a memorable experience you have had thus far with the organization.
It's been very short time since I started, but everyone has been amazing at welcoming new members and I couldn't be happier with the first volunteer events I have participated: WISN Class act phone bank and the five star dining.
What struggles do you see our city dealing with? What can our generation do to help?
When I moved to Milwaukee, I visited different areas of the city just to familiarize myself with my new environment, and I saw first hand the extreme segregation that didn't seem apparent when living downtown. As someone that is extremely proud to be in the United States and the melting pot of other cultures that we live in here as a nation, I was still very sadden by how much ignorance on other cultures was expressed by a lot of the Wisconsin natives. The root for intolerance and conflicts seen first hand were based on just lack of knowledge and stereotypes. Our generation should focus on education and setting examples through groups like Echelon that will attract other young professionals to Southern Wisconsin and will influence those around us to not fear the problems we face as a community , but to act on them in a collective effort.
