US athletes should boycott 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Stewart says

BY CURT GRESSETH
SALT LAKE CITY — Because of China's mistreatment of its Muslim minority, the "malicious" response to the deadly COVID-19 pandemic, military intrusions into Taiwan and the crackdown in Hong Kong, the United States should fully boycott — no US athletes competing — the Beijing Winter Olympics in February, says a Utah congressman.
President Joe Biden has called for a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Games in February. The United Kingdom, Canada and Australia also have done the same. The diplomatic boycott does not stop athletes from competing.
The IOC "fully respects" decision
The International Olympic Committee said it "fully respects" the White House's decision, adding the participation of the athletes are beyond politics," according to USA TODAY.
But during a Sunday appearance on Fox News, Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, was asked by former Congressman Trey Gowdy whether the U.S. should boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
Critics question China's right to host Winter Olympics
Stewart joined KSL NewsRadio's Dave & Debbie to discuss further the reasons he believes a full boycott of the 2022 Beijing Games in needed.
The congressman pointed to the repression of its Uighur Muslim minority in northwest China.
"There are millions of Chinese Uighurs essentially put in concentration camp forced labor camps," he said.
"Malicious" response to COVID-19
Stewart called the Chinese response to the COVID-19 pandemic "malicious."
"As a direct result of that, we have millions of deaths around the world that were 100 percent avoidable, if [China] had been more forthright with the World Health Organization [WHO] and the international community" he said.
Stewart said China has been provoking Taiwan daily by sending fighters and bombers into Taiwan airspace.
Record number of China planes enter Taiwan air defense zone
Stewart referenced China's militarization of the South China Sea. He also mentioned what he described as the collapse and taking of Hong Kong.
Hong Kong Crackdown a Part of China's Larger Strategy
"Go talk to people in Hong Kong right now who essentially lost their freedom entirely," he said.
"Not that big of a deal"
Stewart said if the United States participates in the Beijing Games, "we're essentially saying that 'yeah, we're concerned about those things, but it's not that big of a deal.'"
Dave mentioned that in 1980, U.S. athletes boycotted the Moscow Olympics after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. In turn, the USSR announced its intentions to boycott the 1984 Summer Olympics on May 8, 1984, citing security concerns and "chauvinistic sentiments and an anti-Soviet hysteria being whipped up in the United States."
"Do you think there was something positive accomplished by those boycotts?" Dave asked.
The leadership of the Soviet Union at that time " felt enormous distress over losing that opportunity. And again, the Chinese Communist Party and leadership feels much the same way," said Stewart.
How much does the diplomatic boycott of Beijing 2022 matter?
Dave & Dujanovic can be heard weekdays from 9 a.m. to noon. on KSL NewsRadio. Users can find the show on the KSL NewsRadio website and app, as well as Apple Podcasts and Google Play.

Me and my woman are big fans of truth or dare pics. I love to show my woman off as she is the sexiest woman I know. You can see from the photo of her little black dress what I mean. I sent her of to work in it one summers day, when the light caught it you could see right through it, I wasn't sure whether she knew or not, but that made it all the more exiting.
I knew and I was so horny in work with the thought that all the guys in her office were getting an eyeful every time she stood in front of a window. She knows when I tell her to wear that dress that she is going to get the kind of attention that she needs. It's because of this little outing that we have progresseed to more adventurous escapades, this being one of our highlights!
I'll tell you about the trucker who got more than he bargained for looking out his window another time. I love the idea of other men and women getting aroused by her. I would love to hear what people think and what else they would like to see from us, as I figure we will become regular posters to this awesome website!

MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) - The Memphis Tigers men's basketball team puts its two-game winning streak on the line against a streaking group of Cougars from Houston.
Coming into the game, Houston had won seven of eight and was ranked No. 23 in the nation.
In his fourth season with the Cougars, head coach Kelvin Sampson is doing it with a host of junior college transfers.
Tubby Smith also has a roster full of JUCOs.
One starter who isn't from the JUCO ranks, Jeremiah Martin, got off to a hot start from the floor.
Martin had nine points in the first 12 minutes, but with about five minutes left in the first half, Martin turned his ankle, and the Tigers leading scorer is out for the rest of the game.
No matter, the JUCOs take over.
Reynere Thornton had a career-high 21 points, including four of five from downtown.
Jamario Rivers also had a career-high 21, along with nine rebounds and three assists.
Tigers pull off the upset, beating Houston by a final score of 91-85.
The U of M is now 8-7 in the AAC, 17-11 overall.
The next game for the Tigers is at UConn at 3 p.m. Sunday.


It is genuine. The world has become. Why? Not on account of room travel, not due to water resistant cellular phones, or even simply those brand new cell phone watches. No, we've at last reached "the future" simply because, after years of patiently waiting and plenty of phony products, real hoverboards are formally an actual point. A company known as Hendo has brought our Marty McFly inspired ambitions to terrific truth, plus they just recently allow Tony Hawk have got a go on the own great design of theirs. The sole issue here?
It is known as a small segway, and the great thing about it's, absolutely no handlebars are prepared on it and you have very likely have seen it twice or once! These awesome two wheeled electric scooters go with the usage of the legs of yours just, therefore no steering is required at all. With these small segway hoverboards surfacing around the globe, it can make us think just how rapid and quick times are changing and what on planet is following for technology. There are many locations where small segway is on the market, therefore in case you are serious check at any neighborhood electronic store! Hendo is really in the works today to producing the 2nd gen hoverboard and stated they think to release it by 2017. So in case you are looking forward to getting the hands of yours on best hoverboards or perhaps might I say legs than assistance Hendo!
Another great advantage of promoting Hendo is the business and the founder of its, Greg Henderson, possess an eyesight which moves far beyond equipping people with amazing hoverboards. Hendo hopes to continue with producing its hover technology, known as Magnetic Field Architecture, therefore it couldn't just let us to have hovering skateboards, but additionally supply real structures to hover when it comes to natural disasters as hordes, earthquakes, soaring ocean levels, and on occasion even a zombie apocalypse.


It is equally challenging when there are many leadership changes. It is a new partnership and commitment each time. Many leadership changes lead to very little investment in the growth and appropriate mentoring of staff. By the time a groove has been established, there is another partner (leader). It can be frustrating and it can be envigorating. New leaders can provide good growing experiences and sometimes it is time to, as you say time to "go to grow".
Leaders should remeber that others are also trying to stick it out, learn, ask for help, adjust to the change and ultimately trying to succeed.
Thank you, Ed! Much Appreciated.
As a young professional surrounded by other youngsters trying to 'make it big, make it quick' I appreciate your story. I try to keep the long view at top of mind, so I thank you for sharing your own experience.
Nice article. I find it fascinating the different perspectives you bring. I've been the guy who's always calculating and purposely chose to not date in college to focus solely on the degree. It turned out I met my future wife in college but we didn't wind up seeing each other until years later.
I do laugh at the perspective of job hoppers, I am the epitome of someone who looks like a job hopper from my resume and also the epitome of someone that has never intended to be. I left my first job to go back to school, only to have my funding fall through the same day I received a job offer. Then I wound up leaving that job after a year because I received a full ride scholarship for my MBI. Since then I've been consulting because its offered some amazing growth opportunities but looking over my resume the next time I accept a full time position I have to remain 5 years if I want to balance out the resume. It puts quite a bit of pressure on that next job.
Awesome job Ed. It reminds me of a saying I heard from 12 step recovery groups: short term pain for long term happiness.
Ed, I appreciate the wisdom and sound advice from this blog article. I am guilty as charged when it comes to jumping ship early because of advancement opportunity but have now found myself in a place where long term vision and growth is not only an opportunity but a reality. Again, thank you for the insight.
working 60+ hour weeks… only to find.. 30 years in they get laid off.. end result = massively overworked.. massively underpaid..
the long run didnt pay off for them.. they started as an upderpaid engineer.. and ended as an upderpaid/overworked engineer..
move your team to innovate and excel.. not just 'pump out a newer version of your same ole product'. Those people cost more. because quite frankly. those people are worth more.
Goes to show you that if you believe in something, perseverance and faith will pay off in the long run,.
What a great story, I had to read it twice!
Ed, I appreciate the candor it really helps me relate. Thank you.
I just wanted to let you know how much I love your insight Ed. This article has so many angles – from "don't just a book by its cover" to having perservence as you fulfill your dreams. I also wanted to thank you for sending your strategic plans – thank you!
Employment is a two-way street. It seems that you've certainly been blessed and lucky to have employers, leaders, managers and co-workers who take a similar long term approach to not only their business, but their employees/team members as well.
Too often I've seen (and experienced) almost the exactly opposite. The "bait and switch" job offer, the often unrealistic (VERY) expectations and lack of support. And sometimes, the flat out incompetence of the organization as a whole and/or individual departments.
If we were all lucky enough to serve under leadership like yours, knowing we had the support and commitment behind us as long as we gave ours it might be a different story for many.

AEGIS: A Panchromatic Study of IRAC-selected Extremely Red Objects with Confirmed Spectroscopic Redshifts
By G. Wilson, J.-S. Huang, G. G. Fazio, R. Yan, A. M. Koekemoer, S. Salim, S. M. Faber, J. Lotz, C. N. A. Willmer, M. Davis, A. L. Coil, J. A. Newman, C. J. Conselice, C. Papovich, M. L. N. Ashby, P. Barmby, S. P. Willner, R. Ivison, S. Miyazaki and D. Rigopoulou
We study 87 extremely red objects (EROs), selected both to have color redder than R - [3.6] = 4.0 and to have confirmed spectroscopic redshifts. Together, these two constraints result in this sample populating a fairly narrow redshift range at 0.76 < z < 1.42. The key new ingredient included here is deep Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) data. Based on [3.6] - [8.0] color, we demonstrate that it is possible to classify EROs as early-type galaxies, dusty starburst galaxies, or active galactic nuclei (AGNs; power-law types). We present ultraviolet-to-mid-infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) images, both of which support our simple IRAC color classification

The Bipolar Child: The Definitive and Reassuring Guide to Childhood's Most Misunderstood Disorder (Third Edition)
Bipolar disorder—manic depression—was once thought to be rare in children. Now researchers are discovering not only that bipolar disorder can begin early in life, but that it is much more common than ever imagined. Yet the illness is often misdiagnosed and mistreated with medications that can exacerbate the symptoms. Why? Bipolar disorder manifests itself differently in children than in adults, and in children there is an overlap of symptoms with other childhood psychiatric disorders. As a result, these kids may be labeled with any of a number of psychiatric conditions: "ADHD," "depression," "oppositional defiant disorder," "obsessive-compulsive disorder," or "generalized anxiety disorder." Too often they are treated with stimulants or antidepressants—medications that can actually worsen the bipolar condition.
Since the publication of its first edition, The Bipolar Child has helped many thousands of families get to the root cause of their children's behaviors and symptoms and find what they need to know. The Papoloses comprehensively detail the diagnosis, explain how to find good treatment and medications, and advise parents about ways to advocate effectively for their children in school.

Simple and Loud
After 20 years, Bettie Serveert keeps re-defining the alternative-rock sound
By Gene Armstrong
Carol van Dyk of Bettie Serveert
The Dutch rock band Bettie Serveert was formed in 1990, but guitarist Peter Visser says he and his bandmates aren't focused on celebrating a 20th anniversary.
Instead, they're looking ahead to 2012.
"That's when the first album, Palomine, would have a 20th birthday," says Visser via cell phone from a tour stop in Denver. "We got an e-mail from our first drummer, saying, 'It's the 20th, and what are we going to do with that?' So that's under discussion right now."
Bettie Serveert will perform Saturday night, Oct. 16, as the headliner on the Rialto Theatre stage for Fall Club Crawl® 2010, sponsored by the Tucson Weekly.
Released in 1992 to critical acclaim and the adoration of a cult of fans, Palomine helped bring garage rock closer to the mainstream. Although the group has remained primarily at an indie/college level of success in the United States, Palomine joined such landmark albums as the Smashing Pumpkins' Gish, Nirvana's Nevermind and Pearl Jam's Ten (all released in 1991) to help define the alternative rock sound of the early 1990s—albeit on a smaller scale.
Bettie Serveert had something that all of those acts did not: magnetic lead singer and songwriter Carol van Dyk, whose personal lyrics, sultry voice and low-key stage presence allowed her to quietly assume a place in the history of excellent female frontpersons, fitting in between Blondie's Debbie Harry and Garbage's Shirley Manson.
Van Dyk writes all the lyrics, and the creation of whole songs usually comes about in partnership with Visser, he says.
"With some songs, she comes in with the skeleton of an arrangement. Sometimes, the two of us will collaborate on shaping the songs, and make demos to give to the band."
To increase the band's appeal to Americans, van Dyk always has sung and written lyrics in English.
"You have to keep in mind Carol was born in Canada, and English is her first language," Visser says. "We have heard her sing in Dutch a couple of times, and that's been, ah, something. An experience, let's say."
Most children in the Netherlands, as in other Scandinavian countries, grow up learning English in school, so it's not unusual for bands there to include English lyrics, Visser says, adding that English is the language of rock 'n' roll.
"Definitely, it is the best language for rock music, and English-speaking people invented rock 'n' roll. All of the bands I listened to growing up were English-speaking bands." Among his early favorites were The Beatles and Neil Young; he later moved on to Captain Beefheart and Nick Cave, he says.
The influence of all of those artists can be heard in the sound of the Betties, which is oriented toward pure pop melodies, Visser's expressive guitar textures and an unrelenting rhythmic momentum—but it also can stray outside the lines to embrace rough-and-tumble noise.
Earlier this year, Bettie Serveert released its ninth album, Pharmacy of Love. Recorded in a remote studio in rural Belgium, the new disc is a return to the aggressive raw sound of Palomine.
"In a sense, those two albums are bookends for various reasons," Visser says. "We've been through so many phases. We started out as a simple rock band, and after years and years of experiments and dance influences, using sampling machines and doing acoustic albums, we thought it was about time we came full circle and are now keeping it simple and loud again. We had spent a couple of tours playing only acoustic music, and personally wanted to bring back the distortion pedal. It feels good to come back to this place."
The band's name, by the way, means "Bettie serves" or "Bettie to serve" in Dutch, and is a reference to Dutch professional tennis player Betty Stöve. These days, fans and band members use "the Betties" as shorthand.
Since the band's beginning, Bettie Serveert has included van Dyk, Visser and bassist Herman Bunskoeke. Berend Dubbe played drums with the group until 1998. Since, then several musicians have occupied the drum chair. On the latest album, it's been Joppe Molenaar, of the band Voicst.
"We have sort of had the Spinal Tap experience with drummers over the years," Visser says.
They all haven't exploded, though. "No, more like imploded."
Speaking of the Betties' first drummer, Dubbe—who, as mentioned before, is interested in celebrating the 20th anniversary of Palomine—his career is thriving, Visser says.
"He's the voice of a TV station in Holland. Every time I turn on the television, I hear his voice, and I have to smile. I hear the irony of his voice, although the regular listeners probably do not. After he left the Betties, he started his own music project called Bauer, and he has provided the soundtrack music for several worldwide commercials."
Visser says he and the other Betties are looking forward to playing their debut gig in Tucson.
"We've never played there, oddly enough—only in Phoenix, until this tour. I know Giant Sand is from (Tucson), and I have played with Howe Gelb before. So maybe I can get him to come down."
Bettie Serveert plays at midnight at the Rialto Theatre.

One of my favorite things to do in Los Angeles is visit Paris Photo LA when it arrives.
This year I noticed how enthralled I am by the little areas/nooks gallery staff make for themselves in their space, where they keep personal, admin items, art info and a glass of vino of course. Probably sounds odd, but in the midst of everything being so pristine in it's presentation, I love seeing these more 'real' moments. Sharing a sampling above. Paris Photo LA fun below.
Note: My video from last year's Paris Photo LA.

The present application is a continuation patent application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/060,078, filed Feb. 17, 2005, entitled MEDICAL DEVICES AND METHODS USEFUL FOR APPLYING BOLSTER MATERIAL, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/545,513 filed Feb. 17, 2004, both of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
FIGS. 18-19 provide a side view and a front view of another medical device of the invention, respectively.
Although not preferred, other implantable materials that may be employed as staple bolster materials in the present invention include non-bioresorbable or bioresorbable synthetic polymer materials such as polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE, e.g. GORE-TEX material), nylon, polypropylene, polyurethane, silicone, DACRON polymer, polyglycolic acid (PGA), polylactic acid (PLA), polycaprolactone, or others.
If needed, a sticking agent can be used to facilitate temporary adhesion of the staple bolster material to the arm surfaces. Any substance or means that increases the attachment of the bolster material to the arm surface can be used, so long as the attachment is not so permanent as to deleteriously interfere with release of the bolster material after the surgical stapler has been fired or otherwise actuated to insert the staple or staples. The substance can be inorganic, organic, natural or synthetic. In many cases, biocompatible surgical lubricants will suffice to improve this adhesion. Biocompatible adhesive materials, including pressure-sensitive adhesives, may also be used, including for example polyvinyl pyrrolidones, polyvinyl alcohols, polyvinyl acetates, vinyl acetate esters, starches, dextrins, acrylic resins, polyurethanes, styrene/butadiene radon copolymers, silicones, polyisobutylenes, polyisoprene polyvinyl ethyl ether and copolymers, blends or combinations thereof. The adhesive can be applied to the bolster reinforcement material at the point of use, or in a pre-applied configuration. In certain embodiments, a pre-applied adhesive can be covered with release paper or similar material to protect the adhesive layer during shipping and handling. The release paper can then be removed prior to use.

Facilities that provide renal replacement therapy for patients with end stage renal disease in the form of maintenance hemodialysis have a very large demand for water. Water is used in maintenance dialysis facilities to prepare dialysate and to rinse and reprocess dialyzers for reuse on the same patient. During emergency situations, the local municipal distribution of water may be disrupted for extended periods of time. This document provides guidance for both the suppliers of water and dialysis facilities for using water delivered by tanker trucks in emergency situations.
When safe community water supplies are unavailable, water for dialysis may be available by tanker truck or "water buffalo." This is a water tank used to provide an emergency supply by organizations like the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), state emergency management agencies, state drinking water agencies, and the Department of Defense. If an emergency supply of water is needed, work with your local Emergency Operations Center. They may be able to supply the tanker, or designate a contractor.
The supplier should verify that the water being delivered meets Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) drinking water standards. If the water supplied is safe for consumption, then it may be used as source water for a water treatment system. The source for emergency trucked water must come from an approved public water supply. Other sources of water (i.e., private well) can be used only if shown to be safe to use by bacteriological, and possibly chemical and radiological testing, and approved by the state drinking water authorities.
Commercial milk or potable water tanker trucks are preferred. However, trucks designed for the transport of wine, vegetable oil, beer, or other food products may also be used.
The truck container must be contaminant-free, watertight, made of an EPA, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) approved water- or food-grade material (can only be used for transportation of items for human consumption) that can be easily cleaned and disinfected.
To ensure that water-hauling equipment is adequately disinfected before using, the tank or truck container, along with all hoses, pumps, and other equipment, must be cleaned and then sanitized by a sanitizer listed in 21 CFR 178.1010. These sanitizing solutions shall be used in accordance with the EPA-approved manufacturer's label use instructions. Normally, these sanitizers will be chlorine, iodine, quaternary ammonium, or acid-based aqueous solutions. If disinfectant other than a chlorine-based chemical was used, the supplier should ensure that the tank was thoroughly rinsed to remove residual disinfectant. A test should be done by the contractor to ensure minimal residual levels of the disinfectant.
Water to be transported by tanker trucks should contain a free chlorine residual of about one part per million (1 ppm) and not more than 4 ppm at the beginning of the haul. This is done by adding 5-6 tablespoons (2.5 – 3 ounces) of common household bleach to each 1,000 gallons.
An additional pressure pump may be needed. Sometimes the tanker truck or water buffalo will have a pump, but if not, the local system may not be able to push this water through the pre-treatment chain with enough pressure and volume to run the reverse osmosis (RO).
Connect the tanker supply line to the local pre-treatment chain. Minimum requirements for pre-treatment include carbon filtration and monitoring for chlorine or chloramine breakthrough. An optional step is to consider the addition of a multimedia sediment filter on the input to the water treatment system, in case the tanker was not adequately flushed of all particulates.
Water will be at ambient temperature rather than blended to the usual 76-78°F. If the water is cooler, carbon may not remove chlorine/chloramines as efficiently. Additional carbon filtration may be needed during this time.
Determine the chemical contaminants in the supply water. If possible, get at least a minimum chemical analysis of the tanker supply water. Focus on those contaminates which have a direct effect on patients (e.g., aluminum, fluoride, copper, chlorine and chloramines). Many of these can be tested on-site with test kits (e.g., HACH Company, LaMotte Company, Orion, etc.) or samples may be sent to a state water quality lab or an approved renal lab. The samples that are sent to a water quality lab should be stored at 4-6 o C and analyzed within 24 hours.
If using untempered water, the RO will not be functioning at optimum condition. You may a drop in percent rejection and permeate flow rate so that some chemical contaminants may pass through the RO at higher levels than normal and product water flow may be lessened.
Using a lower dialysate flow rate may be necessary while the water supply is reduced.
If only DI tanks are being used, the water should then be treated with a UV-irradiator and a pyrogen filter or an ultrafilter to destroy and remove bacteria and endotoxins. Make sure the DI product water is continuously monitored and producing water that is ≥ 1 megohm-cm specific resistivity (or conductivity of ≥1 microsiemen/cm).
Monitor carefully the water levels in the tanker to ensure an adequate supply of water for the entire dialysis treatment(s). As the water level in the tanker drops, try to secure a replacement tanker and get a water analysis of that water, to prevent further disruption of service.
Check chlorine/chloramine with each new delivery of water.
Verify hourly that product water quality is acceptable.
Monitor water cultures and endotoxin at least weekly. If possible, test for endotoxin on-site daily.
The medical director is ultimately responsible for the quality of the water the facility uses for dialysis. Involve medical directors early: it may be better to dialyze patients for a few treatments with water that may not quite meet usual standards (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation or AAMI) than not to dialyze, as hyperkalemia and fluid overload can be life-threatening, whereas a low level of aluminum exposure can probably be tolerated for a short period.
If the product water TDS is high and the percent rejection is in line with historical performance, then the RO membranes are most likely good. But the feed water may have a higher than usual level of contaminants. DI polishing will help cope with the extra burden in the feed water.
If the product water TDS is high and the percent rejection is lower than historical values, then the RO membranes are probably bad and should be replaced promptly. DI polishing may or may not be needed once the RO membranes are replaced.

Businesses in the dark on electricity usage
08 Feb 2012 | News
Latest figures from British Gas have shown that British businesses are spending up to £1.00 in every £2.00 of their electricity bills on powering their business when staff have left for the day.
Data from over 6,000 smart meter readings show that 46% of business electricity use happens outside of the traditional business hours of 8.00 am and 6.00pm.
Common examples of unnecessary electricity that businesses aren't aware they even use include lighting car parks at the weekend when no one is at work, pubs keeping fruit machines switched on 24 hours a day every day of the year, retail units in shopping centres keeping display lights on when the centre is closed and vending machines left switched on in offices overnight and at weekends.
The first step for businesses to cut their energy use is to understand when and why they use electricity. Simply switching off car parking lights at the weekend when they aren't needed could save a British Gas customer £1,200 on their annual electricity bill.
To help put businesses in control of their energy use and therefore costs, British Gas has launched a new service – Business Energy Insight to show businesses how, when and where they are using electricity and proactively help them to save money through energy efficiency measures.
Dawn Ryan, from The Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS), was one of 100 customers who trialled the service to help British Gas make sure it worked best for businesses. ALCS began using Business Energy Insight in 2011, and with the support of its account manager's energy efficiency expertise, has nearly halved its electricity bill.
Ryan commented, "Managing our costs has been our number one priority since the economic downturn. But before signing up to the trial, I had no idea of the amount of money I was wasting by not paying closer attention to my electricity bills. Business Energy Insight has opened my eyes to this. Now I'm working with my account manager Dom Stanford to take steps to reduce the amount of money I use on things like heating and other electrical appliances when they're not being used. For example, we identified a particularly energy intensive piece of equipment that was needlessly using a lot of power. By addressing this, we saved a £9,000 over the course of the year. It's making a real difference to the business as we can invest these savings elsewhere."
The Business Energy Insight service has been created in response to findings from customer feedback, including from the British Gas 1,000 strong business customer panel. The panel has called on the company to provide accurate bills and help businesses bring down their energy costs.
By signing up to Business Energy Insight, businesses will have a smart meter installed on their premises, 24 hour access to an online dashboard showing hourly, daily, weekly and monthly electricity usage, and support from over 100 account executives specifically trained to help customers implement energy saving measures.
James Caan, entrepreneur, CEO of Hamilton Bradshaw Private Equity and spokesperson for small and medium enterprise businesses said, "In this testing climate, our economic growth is dependent on businesses finding the money and time to invest in new growth opportunities. But the rising operational costs of running a business are acting as a major barrier to this. By using a service like Business Energy Insight to understand energy usage and take steps to reduce it, businesses can free up vital capital to invest in new ventures that can contribute to their future success."
Marc England, managing director of SME Energy, British Gas Business, added, "Small and Medium sized businesses are the backbone of the UK. They tell us that reducing their costs is essential to competing in a challenging economy. However, many don't understand their electricity costs, and how they could reduce them. Business Energy Insight has been designed by businesses for businesses to provide our customers more accurate bills and the insight to reduce their costs and improve their competitiveness."

Two modern American teachers and critics who can now be honored as Sages and, indeed, included among the Sacri Vates, are Irving Babbitt (1865-1933) and Richard Weaver (1910-1963). One who in any way studies two recently reissued books, Babbitt's Character and Culture (originally titled Spanish Character and Other Essays) and Weaver's Visions of Order, will need very little convincing as to the appropriateness of the sapiential ascription. To read these two books again, or even for the first time, is to make contact with men of vision who are quintessentially men of wisdom. Perhaps at no time of our history do we have more urgent need for wisdom than now. For the wisdom we gain here is both salvific and restorative; it enables us to climb the ladder of illumination. Babbitt likens this process to "the ascending path of insight and discrimination"; Weaver describes it as the need to "have something ascending up toward an ultimate source of good." This moving upward requires strenuous effort, and its rewards are to be found in the higher experiential contexts of what is self-cleansing and self-disciplining.
Moral indolence and apathy, both Babbitt and Weaver stress, are forces of gravity that need to be quelled if one is to fly beyond the nets of naturalism and temperamental excesses. Such ascent, Babbitt stresses, is an intrinsic part of the "aspiration to rise above the impermanent." He sees this entire process in the light of individual maturity and growth, and especially as to how this process relates to the making of individual character. Also emphatically aware of individual character, Weaver examines individual character in direct relation to the larger cultural map, to what he designates as "the discriminations of a culture." It can be said that Babbitt addresses first and foremost the problem of man, of individual character and destiny; Weaver, the problem of culture – "the cultural crisis of our time." To make this particular contrast is not to lessen Babbitt's larger civilizational concerns, even as his magisterial book Democracy and Leadership (1924) will thoroughly indicate. Still, in Babbitt the voice we hear is mainly that of the teacher speaking to his students. "For Babbitt's service as teacher," Austin Warren writes of his Harvard mentor, "transcended his doctrine." If Babbitt begins with anthropos, and Weaver begins with paideia, both ultimately meet in absolute allegiance to humanitas, which in the end allies them in their search for aristeia of character and culture.
Of Weaver, Russell Kirk remarks, with characteristic pungency and insight: "Meant to expose and restrain the illusions of our century, his books and his teaching were instruments for action." He goes on to say that, for Weaver, order was an "austere passion: the inner order of the soul, the outer order of society." These words could equally apply to that great conservative mind in the earlier years of the twentieth century, Babbitt. Neither Babbitt nor Weaver ceased to seek after principles of order in a century of disorder. For Babbitt the Great War of 1914-1918 emblematized the symptoms and portents of modern disorder, even as he, an admirer of Aristotle, goes back to Jean-Jacques Rousseau as the primary architect of the scheme of disorder in the modern world in the form of unchecked romanticism. For Weaver, World War II unmasked the spirit of disorder, and he, an admirer of Plato, goes back to William of Ockham (1285-1349) as a progenitor of disorder in the form of nominalism. To view Babbitt and Weaver together, in continuity, so to speak, is to view two visionary thinkers deeply concerned with the order of a humane civilization and the order of human character. In their conjoining perceptions and interpretations of the rhythm of disintegration and the schism of the soul they centered on the crisis of modernism as a crisis of disorder.
On the one hand is the ascending path of insight and discrimination. Those who take it may be termed the spiritual athletes. On the other hand is the descending path towards the subrational followed by those who court the confused reverie that comes from the breakdown of barriers and the blurring of distinctions and who are ready to forego purpose in favor of "spontaneity"; and these may be termed the cosmic loafers.
… the greatest weakness of a function-oriented culture is that it sets little or no store by the kind of achievement which is comparatively timeless–the formation of character, the perfection of style, the attainment of distinction in intellect and imagination. These require for their appreciation something other than keen senses; they require an effort of mind and the spirit to grasp timeless values, to perceive the presence of things that extend through temporal span.
Clearly, Babbitt and Weaver were reacting, with intense and total concern, to the main issues of contemporary life as expressed in literature, politics, education, and religion. And on these issues they spoke out candidly, consistently. In many ways they were diagnosticians of modern social order in rapid and mindless retreat from a faith in first principles and first causes–in "the law of the spirit," "the law of measure" steadily being supplanted by a "new dualism based on the myth of man's natural goodness." Babbitt and Weaver associated this retreat with the forces of aggressive anarchy and revolution assaulting the foundations of Western civilization, and especially its humanistic tradition. These forces, secular and gnostic, as well as decadent and ideological in orientation and intent, conspire to bring about, in Weaver's words, "the progressive demotion of man." These are precisely the forces that now embody the nihilism that pervades the basic categories of life and discards all semblance of the truth of the inner life. Babbitt and Weaver rendered in their own particular eras the ongoing stages of modern disequilibrium and deorientation which have now reached a point of no return. In their rendering of what Babbitt sees as a modern world "treading very near the edge of sudden disaster," one hears the prophetic voice crying out with the urgency and the fearlessness that belong to the ethical prophet's mission.
There is always in a cultural observance a little gesture of piety, a recognition that there are higher demands on man along with the lower. While culture is not a worship and should not be made a worship, it is a kind of orienting of the mind toward mood, a reverence for the spirit on secular occasions.
As for the typical modern, he is not only at an infinite remove from anything resembling renunciation, but is increasingly unable to accept the will to refrain of anything else on a basis of mere tradition and authority. Yet the failure to exercise the will to refrain in some form or degree means spiritual anarchy. A combination such as we are getting more and more at present of spiritual anarchy with an ever-increasing material efficiency–power without wisdom, as one is tempted to put it–is not likely to work either for the happiness of the individual or for the welfare of society.
As teachers in the highest moral and civilizational sense, Babbitt and Weaver believed in the education of the whole human personality–intellect, character, mind, and soul. (Babbitt's first book, Literature and the American College , argued forcefully for what Claes Ryn, in his discerning introduction to Character and Culture, calls a "reinvigorated humanistic curriculum and discipline as a way of reversing the decline of Western life and letters.") To the very end of his life and career, Babbitt's preoccupation with educational issues never wavered. And, no less than Babbitt, Weaver argued vigorously the case for humane letters. In a celebrated essay, "Up from Liberalism" (1958-1959), he wrote in words echoing Babbitt's own, "[O]ur education will have to recover the lost vision of the person as a creature of both intellect and will." "Gnostics of Education," the longest essay in Visions of Order, and inspired by Eric Voegelin's The New Science of Politics (1952), conveys the essence of Weaver's educational thought and views.
Both in Babbitt's and in Weaver's writings, educational problems have an intrinsic bearing on their major ideas and thought. Their opinions are directed not only to their students in the classroom but also to their auditors at large. Their own teaching experiences doubtlessly helped to inspire and even define their educational thought, even as they treated educational issues as a significant part of the modern cultural scene. What they witness in the realm of education inevitably affects, even molds, their view of society and culture, and, of course, the human condition in the modern age. And what they have to say about education, whether diagnostic, censorial, or corrective, is clear and direct, singularly constructive and not cynical. In their educational ideas one finds the saving qualities of measure, prudence, humility. It is the teacher as sage who discourses here, guided in lecture and text by a sense of proportionateness and by a need, in Babbitt's words, "to glimpse the total symmetry of life and with reference to this symmetry to maintain some degree of poise and centrality." And here, too, one has the privilege of listening to a true humanist, in contradistinction to our modern specialists, the Napoleons of solution, with their overemphasis and glitz.
The humanitarian idealism based on the faith in progress will be found on analysis to be either utilitarian or sentimental. Practically, in education as elsewhere, a utilitarian and sentimental movement has been displacing traditions that are either religious or humanistic.
In the absence of humane purposes, what has triumphed is the purpose of the utilitarian. A multitude of specialties … has taken the place not only of the selection of studies in the old curriculum but of the selective principle itself. Education has become increasingly miscellaneous and encyclopaedic.
At the bottom of the whole educational debate … is the opposition between a religious-humanistic and a utilitarian-sentimental philosophy. This opposition, involving as it does first principles, is not subject to compromise or mediation. Those who attempt such mediation are not humanists but Laodiceans.
Babbitt's indictment of a raw and uncivilized pragmatism afflicting education returns us to his endorsement of Matthew Arnold's contention that our democracy is too much concerned with quantity and not quality. American democracy has obviously chosen to enforce, in an imperial manner, quantified reductionisms in the shape of what Babbitt calls "naturalistic disintegration," as part of the effort to legislate equality and uniformity. And a sham liberalism, as Babbitt reminds us in Democracy and Leadership, by not distinguishing between moral and material progress, has misled modern man to place ironclad faith in organization, efficiency, machinery: in short, in utilitarian and utopian schemes that have now emerged in the adulterated metaphysics of a New Morality and a New Age. Inevitably, these schemes produce the momentum of subversions that affects the educational realm. Weaver addresses these subversions in his essay "Gnostics of Education," updating Babbitt's earlier critical testimony by giving to it a more current garb and idiom. That is to say, he helps take Babbitt's testimony beyond pragmatism by bringing it into contact with an educational system now being ally annexed by those he dubs "radical doctrinaires and social faddists." Weaver, in other words, provides us with a picture of educational dissimulation, in extremis, as it advances from pragmatism to ideology.
The Gnostic belief was that man is not sinful, but divine. The real evil in the universe cannot be imputed to him; his impulses are good, and there is no ground for restraining him from anything he wants to do …. By divinizing man, Gnostic thinking says that what he wants to do, he should do.
The democratic contention that everybody should have a chance is excellent provided it means that everybody is to have a chance to measure up to high standards. If the democratic extension of opportunity is, on the other hand, made a pretext for lowering standards, democracy is, insofar, incompatible with civilization.
… the teacher is not to be viewed as one in authority commissioned to instruct, but as a kind of moderator whose function is merely to conduct a meeting. Especially resented is the idea that the teacher has any advantage of knowledge or wisdom which entitles him to stand above his students. This would be a recognition of inequality, and equality must reign, mat caelurn!
"It is the critic's business," Babbitt writes, "to grapple with the age in which he lives and give it what he sees it needs." These words best define the critical calling not only of Babbitt but also of Weaver, and underline the courage a true critic needs to establish a moral ethos in examining life, literature, and thought. Babbitt and Weaver never deviated from their critical calling, even as their writings show a centrality and a consistency that invest their standards and outlook with an integrity of purpose and vision. To the dignity of literature they join the dignity of criticism. What will most impress readers of these two books is the moral seriousness and responsibility, as well as the moral measure, which Babbitt and Weaver record in their writings, and which in turn make them profoundly credible as critics who have something important to say about the human condition, and inevitably to say something of value about the "war in the cave," that unending struggle in man between good and evil. No less than the moral imagination, moral criticism has the capacity to make men and women better in their cities in that special context Babbitt apprehends when he stresses that the indefinite future progress of humanity is unequal in importance to the immediate definite progress of the individual.
The presence of the ethical imagination whether in art or life is always known as an element of calm …. But it is only with reference to some ethical centre that we may determine what art is soundly recreative, in what forms of adventure the imagination may innocently indulge.
So it is that when a culture falls to the worshipping of the forms it has created, it grows blind to the source of cultural expression itself and may engender perverse cruelty. The degeneration may take the form of static arts, of barbarous legal codes in defense of conventions, or the inhuman sacrifice exacted by a brilliant technology. At some point, its delight in these things has clouded over the right ethical and other determinations of life.
Babbitt's enemies have liked to think that he left no followers or allies and that he exerted little or no influence after his death in 1933. Such are, everywhere and always, the fantasies of the liberal mind. No two books, separated in date of publication by over thirty years, more forcefully repudiate these fantasies than Character and Culture and Visions of Order. In their basic themes and ethos, these books demonstrate astonishing continuity and correlation. In their warnings regarding the health of American character and culture, they depict a shared indictment of tendencies that have progressively led a nation and its people to chase after the heresies and the illusions that have no purpose other than that of destroying both the idea of value and humane civilization.
Babbitt discerned and identified the modern malaise as it was developing and spreading with cruel rapidity. His teachings and writings sought to chart those regions of modernity that held the greatest danger for modern man. Critical fortitude, steadfastness, and patience characterize his life and work. He pressed on with his mission, his calling, to the end, refusing to be stranded, like others, on "the heights of despair." For Babbitt the law of humility was endless. With Edmund Burke he believed that it is at the root of all other virtues that involve first principles. "Nothing will avail short of humility," Babbitt insisted. Of the two critics, it is Babbitt who stands at the fountainhead of the dissident critical spirit that modernity and all its sectaries could not mute. "In the closing years of the twentieth century," Ryn observes, "it is evident that Irving Babbitt will go down in history as one of his country's original and seminal intellects." One could go so far as to say that the crisis of modernity, as it now slides with a vengeance into a post-modern stage of decadence and nihilism, cannot be fully grasped or resisted without an understanding of Babbitt's achievement.
Even to ponder a few pages from Babbitt's oeuvre each day can be a valuable exercise for anyone who wants to be rescued from contemporary negators of the moral life and the ethical life: from, in a word, the technological-Benthamite forces of gravity. Ultimately Babbitt's thought has a good influence, imparting as it does soundness and sanity, good sense, reasonableness, direction, balance-reverent qualities that actively oppose the disordering extremes that modern life legislates indiscriminately. He was truly a critical genius who was for too long misunderstood and misrepresented, unrecognized and unrewarded by his countrymen. But abroad, especially in the Orient, he was esteemed as an American sage and saint who had wrought a noble reconciliation of East and West, of Confucius and Aristotle, of Buddha and Christ.
But when one chooses to go beyond the early and disingenuous criticisms of Babbitt and the New Humanism, which had no doubt brushed Weaver's generation, one will discover that Babbitt's moral impact was deep and lasting, even as any critical comparison of Character and Culture and Visions of Order will prove. Yes, differences in critical orientation are there, but the affinities and the similarities, the visionary sperma, the larger moral concerns and spiritual purposes, are also very much there, transcendently. The passage of time–Babbitt had been dead for more than three decades when Visions of Order saw print–had softened some of the immediate intellectual tensions and hostilities, personal animosities and regional differences, that had clouded Babbitt's contribution. His central message to modern man, his wise teachings, and the universality of his vision could hardly escape either the interest or the respect of a great inheritor and continuer: Richard Weaver was, after all, fighting the new-old battles, now even more perilous in their outcome, in which Babbitt had fought valiantly and selflessly, in the front lines, in the fledgling years of the twentieth century.

Well over 2000 years ago the Buddha urged Ananda his constant companion and a faithful disciple to become a lamp unto himself, and not to be distressed by the fact that the Buddha in the very nature of things, would pass away. Difficult as it was Ven. Ananda took the advice and he and his disciples of the Buddha saw the dharma as the unfailing lamp which would guide us all to the bliss of Nirvana We the resident monks in the Georgia Buddhist Vihara decided to cherish and revere the memory of the Buddha by commemorating the 2600 anniversary of the Buddha's awakening and –specifically on May 28 till May 31st. Six youth participated together with one adult committed themselves to observe the ten precepts in our Vihara for a retreat which lasted four days. For the duration of those four days in our collective spiritual imagination we were all for those moments in the beautiful valley of the Ganges made more than real by the sense of the presence of the great path finder (The Buddha) Metta, loving kindness, Dharma discussions, and the practice of meditation was witnessed by all. The spirit of the Dharma was in the air.The six young men were text book examples of metta , karuna, muditha, which affected the considerable amount of people who visited the Vihara. The young men followed a simple regimen of attending to their daily and hourly needs. They were consistently disciplined and were examples to all who chose to be present. From all that we observed it was clearly transforming spiritual encounter to the participants. If their serenity and visible loving kindness was any indication they were no doubt the principle beneficiaries of a truly beautiful lingering experience. We in the Georgia Buddhist Vihara took heart and inspiration from the success of the four day retreat. In reality it became an inspiration to all who were present who no doubt were themselves transformed by witnessing the event. We hope that our dayakayas who generously and spiritedly supported were made happy by what they saw. Our success inspires us to nobly strive t o do better than what we did on all future occasions. Soon the word would get around that it is in the Georgia Buddhist Vihara that one might see a fleeting glimpse of the shores of nirvana- where we will all know the peace and serenity the surpasses all understanding.

DESPICABLE ME Producer to Tackle a Remake of SHREK and SUPER MARIO BROS
By Tess Farrand, Staff Writer
Christopher "Chris" Meledandri serves as Illumination Entertainment's CEO and helped bring to the big screen family hits like DESPICABLE ME, THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS and the new animated movie THE GRINCH. With a couple $1 billion movies under his belt, Universal has now tasked Meledandri with reinventing SHREK and SUPER MARIO BROS as animated movies for a new generation.
Meledandi has been called a "brilliant filmmaker" by some, including his fellow Dartmouth Alumni Dr. Ted Baehr, but those closest to him in the industry refer to his demeanor in more personal terms. "He stays up later thinking about an issue than anyone else. The process can be fairly anxiety-provoking for him, but at the same time, he wants to spread joy with his movies, and nothing pleases him more than when he hears about a child or teenager with a special connection to one of his films", said Universal Pictures chairman Donna Langley.
Meledandri learned to foster a love for animation and filmmaking by watching movies with his children. In his early days, he aided the success of Fox's family movies like ANASTASIA and Disney's COOL RUNNINGS.
His previous movies like DESPICABLE ME and SING grossed hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. In addition, the DESPICABLE ME trilogy also earned him multiple Movieguide® Awards. This weekend, Meledandri and the Illumination team will release THE GRINCH, another adaptation of Dr. Seuss' classic story, something the animation company is known for.
Almost twenty years ago, DreamWorks brought Shrek to life, with the voice of Mike Myers, in the title movie. In the proceeding years, SHREK gained an additional three squeals and one spin-off, PUSS N BOOTS. However, Meledandri feels confident that Illumination can tackle the task as they plan to combine elements from SHREK and PUSS N BOOTS. The producer said, "When you look back on those vocal performances they're awesome, and while you certainly could make a case for a complete reinvention, I find myself responding to my own nostalgic feelings of wanting to go back to those characterizations."
Executives at Illumination know they have more projects to reshape in the near future. Meledandri highlighted his aspiration for SUPER MARIO BROS. which is in talks to release in 2022. He said, "the challenge is taking things that are so thin in their original form and finding depth that doesn't compromise what generations of fans love about Mario, but also feels organic to the iconography and can support a three-act structure."
In 1993, a prior version of SUPER MARIO BROS. bombed at the box office, grossing a low 20 million. With the challenging task of lifting Mario fans' spirits from the previous bust, Meleandri's comments encourage fans that his adaptation will draw heavily from Mario creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, along with Illumination's noteworthy animation standard.
With such a big fan following and many previous hits, we'll have to stay tuned to see if Meledandri and his team at Illumination can pull off successful projects in the coming years.

We added the screencapture of The Expanse 3×10 into the gallery.
When it's about Elizabeth is very hard to pick up an highlight in the performance because she studies every single trait of her characters so deep in their hearts.
The script is like a piece of clay that she molds and makes it into the most detailed sculpture and if you look at it very close, you can see all the features she has created and get mesmerized by them.
Watching her acting is the most fascinating thing for us. We can't even imagine how astonishing it would be to see her work of art taking shape live.
We hope one day to be that lucky to see her on stage. We always tell each other that if she ever does another play, we will move to that city and go to every single theatrical show.
We will be like Anna amazed by science and the unknown. We actually are already like that every time Liz is on our screens, but you know what we mean. She's magic!
Characters need flaws. Every writer knows this, it's Storytelling 101. Early on, it looked as if Anna Volovodov's flaw was merely to be her complicity in Sorrento-Gillis' pre-show sins, and her regret over her role in them. Especially when compared to S-G himself and to Errinwright, who were her only foils, this was not a terribly interesting foible. Fortunately for the character, Elizabeth Mitchell's nuanced performance has made her a joy to watch, but even so the last couple of episodes have done wonders for making Anna especially interesting, as opposed to just Mitchell's portrayal of her.
We love how she plays this state of confusion. When the man asks Anna if that is her first time in zero gravity, the way Elizabeth says "yeah" makes our hearts trembling. Darn, how is she so good?!


A narcocorrido (Spanish pronunciation: [narkokoˈriðo], "narco-corrido" or drug ballad) is a subgenre of the Mexican norteño-corrido (northern ballad) music genre, traditional folk music from northern Mexico, from which several other genres have evolved. This type of music is heard and produced on both sides of the Mexico–US border. It uses a danceable, accordion-based polka as a rhythmic base.
The first corridos that focus on drug smugglers—the narco comes from "narcotics"—have been dated by Juan Ramírez-Pimienta to the 1930s. Early corridos (non-narco) go back as far as the Mexican Revolution of 1910, telling the stories of revolutionary fighters. Music critics have also compared narcocorrido lyrics and style to gangster rap and mafioso rap.
Narcocorrido lyrics refer to particular events and include real dates and places. The lyrics tend to speak approvingly of illegal activities, mainly drug trafficking.
