Decent Men Are Selfish - A Practical Example
Every decent human being is selfish. Let us illustrate this with a couple of examples.
Kalle gets up at 5:00 AM in the morning. He wakes his wife, whom he loves. They eat breakfast together. Kalle enjoys this calm moment. The love he feels for his wife is wonderful. In order to make sure that she continues to love him back, he is always polite to her. He knows that he would destroy his own life, if he lied to her and with her leaving him as a consequence. At 6:00 AM Kalle takes the subway to work. He takes care to pay the fare. He knows that he would harm his own interests if he took a ride without paying. Even if he got away with it, he would harm the subway company´s ability to run the subway for him, if he cheated them out of the fare. At 7:00 AM Kalle starts to work. He is careful to do good work, and he exerts himself the entire day. He wants his employer to be satisfied with his work, so that he gets to keep his job and also has a chance for a promotion. During the workday Kalle is polite towards his workmates. He spends 40 hours a week at his workplace, so it is in his own interest that the emotional climate at his workplace is pleasant. It would not be nice to spend time in a workplace where everyone insulted each other, talked behind each other´s backs etc. When he takes the subway home at 4:00 PM Kalle is at peace with himself. He knows that he has done good work during the day, so he experiences a pleasant feeling of pride. He just passes by the bar on the way home, without a thought of going in. Kalle does not wish to waste his money on liquor. He has more important things to spend his money on. He saves 20% of his net wage every month, because he wants to build up a capital, so that he can buy a house of his own. Kalle wants a house in a nice green district. He thinks that it would be the ideal environment to raise the children which he plans to have with his wife.
When he is almost home he notices a ruffian who is snatching a purse from an old lady. Kalle roars and starts running towards the thief. The thief runs away, when he sees that he has been noticed. The old lady thanks Kalle. Kalle explains to her that he helped her because it lies in the interest of all decent citizens to keep the criminal types at bay. If the criminal had got away with victimizing the old lady, then next time it might have been Kalle himself or his wife who was robbed. Kalle calls the police on his cellphone of course, so that they can try to catch the thief. Kalle comes home late, because of the incident with the purse snatching. He had to spend some time describing for the police what the ruffian looked like, and reporting the details of the crime. Kalle´s wife trusts him when he tells why he is late. She knows from experience that Kalle does not lie to her. Kalle enjoys the tasty dinner his wife cooks him. She is always careful to prepare nice meals for him, since he treats her well. After dinner Kalle sits down, full of contentment, and begins his evening´s language studies in front of his computer. Kalle takes a language course via the internet, in order to learn to be fluent in English. At 9:00 PM he is finished with his studies. Kalle and his wife go to bed, so that they will be able to get up in time next morning. Kalle ends the day with a tender love session with his wife and falls asleep without any problem. Life is wonderful.
Pelle wakes up at 10:00 AM the same morning that Kalle did, and in the same neighborhood. He sighs, because his hangover is horrible. His wife throws a few eggs in the frying pan for him. They are burnt, since she does not care. What woman could feel genuine love for such a parasite as Pelle? Pelle grimaces as he forces himself to swallow the mess. "Are you going to buy that flatscreen TV today, as you promised to?" Pelle´s wife snarls at him. "Yeah, sure thing, Sugar, of course I am!" he lies hastily to her. He remembers now that last night he gambled away at the casino the money which should have gone to buy the flatscreen TV. He begins to worry about how he will make enough fast money to buy the TV, or alternatively find an excuse which his wife will accept. "Life sucks!" Pelle thinks to himself, while he reluctantly begins to use his gray cells to find a way out of this latest crisis. His wife nods her head when he promises to buy the TV and says sarcastically "Yeah, sure!" She does not believe Pelle for a second. She knows what kind of man he is. "Why did I marry him?" she thinks to herself. After breakfast Pelle takes a fistful of tablets. He wants so much to feel good. But the tablets do not help. At 12:00 noon Pelle goes out. He tells his wife that he will now buy the flatscreen TV. "You will be so glad when you see the new TV, Sugar!" he assures her. His wife just grunts. But she is at least glad to be rid of his company for a few hours. Her existence is more bearable when he is not around.
Pelle goes down to the corner bar. He spends his last money on a few shots of liquor. While he is drinking he goes through all the tricks he knows to make a quick thousand bucks. That is what he needs in order to buy the flatscreen TV. The race track is open. But Pelle has no money to bet with. And he knows that there is nada chance that the loan sharks there would lend him more money to bet with. He is already deep in debt. Maybe he could sell some drugs to the junkies? But he has himself used up all the drugs which he bought a week ago. Maybe he could rob a store? But he has no firearm. He thinks to himself that maybe he could quickly devise a fake gun, and bluff? His thoughts run along. "Ohohoh! Why, oh, why did I gamble away my money yesterday?" he asks himself. But he knows the answer. It was because he is the kind of person who has accustomed himself to not thinking. At 4:00 P.M. his liquor and his last money are finished – and Pelle has still not come up with a way to make a quick thousand bucks. He stumbles homeward. "What will I say to my old woman?" he asks himself desperately. On the way home he happens to see an old lady. A thought occurs to him. Maybe she has money in that purse she is carrying? If Pelle was rational, he would realize that the chance that an old lady would have as much as a thousand dollars cash in her purse is almost nil. But the tablets which he took earlier in the day, combined with the liquor, has destroyed his powers of judgment. So Pelle acts on the spur of the moment and makes an attempt to grab the lady´s purse. But somebody yells at him. Pelle turns around and sees a man running at him at full speed. Pelle panics and runs away. He makes it home.
As soon as he comes in the door, Pelle´s wife snarls at him "Where is the flatscreen TV? And why are you so out of breath?" Pelle does what he is used to doing and quickly comes up with a lie "Well, you see Sugar, you would not believe what happened. I bought the flatscreen TV. You should have seen it! It was really nice. But when I was almost home with it, just a few blocks from here, a gang of lousy punks turned up and threatened me with knives. They forced me to give them the TV. A few of them disappeared with the TV, and the rest began chasing me. I barely made it home uninjured. I really sorry, Sugar! Believe me." "You asshole!" Pelle´s wife screams at him. "You must have gambled away our money again. And you take me for such a fool that you expect me to believe such a transparent lie? What do you think I am?" Pelle screams back "You will not talk to me like that!" His wife screams back. The thing turns into a fight. Suddenly Pelle loses control. The stress, combined with the tablets he took in the morning, and the liquor he drank in the bar, takes its due. Pelle goes into a wall, takes a hold of his wife´s throat and strangles her to death. Soon afterwards, someone rings the doorbell. "Hello! This is the police. We want to talk to you about a purse-snatching attempt." a man calls through the door. Pelle panics. He runs back and forth in his apartment. The police open the door with the landlord´s key. They see Pelle´s wife lying dead on the floor. They arrest Pelle.
Which of the two men above was selfish? Kalle or Pelle? Pelle "thought only of himself". Although he did not think much. He just did what he felt like, whatever happened to appeal to him. And he did not respect the rights or feelings of others. Was he selfish?
Think. A selfish man does that which lies in his interest. Can any honest person deny that Kalle´s life was in all ways a successful and happy life, and that Kalle therefore did that which was in his interest? And can any honest person deny that Pelle´s life was a complete failure, and that Pelle therefore did not do that which was in his interest? Can any honest person deny that it was Kalle who was selfish, and that it instead was Pelle who was unselfish, in the word´s exact meaning?


Nature's Noni Juice comes from the amazing noni fruit. Noni is a powerful antioxidant that supports joint, skin and digestive health and promotes an overall sense of well-being.
Morinda citrifolia fruit juice contains unique phytonutrients and antioxidants. Phytonutrients nourish the body's cells, organs and tissues. They also fight free radical damage caused by harmful chemicals, pollution and a host of other free radical-generating processes. Nature's Noni juice is particularly useful for promoting healthy skin, healthy joints and a general feeling of well-being. Years of native use suggest that the many benefits of the morinda fruit come from these phytonutrients, antioxidants and its other physiologically unique ingredients.
Reconstituted Morinda citrifolia fruit juice and other natural flavors.
Adults take 2 tablespoons (1 oz.) daily, preferably before meals. Children take 1 tablespoon daily. NOTE: Pregnant or lactating women should consult their health care provider prior to taking this supplement.


Again, what you find in black and white might not be reliable unless the study is properly performed and the data properly analyzed The quality of laboratory tests is important and will become more important in the future.
To do so, assign the So, what if the incoming request parameters do not pass the given validation rules?
In addition to the confusion from terminology, there is also a lot of confusion on how to best estimate the systematic error from the data of a comparison of methods experiment. When do you know you've got a "good" method or a "bad" method? Can you use the same reference ranges and limits from your old method on a new method?
This requires the proper use and interpretation of statistics. Or will the new test change all the cutoffs you've been using?
He says that at the peak of that project, the studio network shot 250 models per day..
If you are convinced that you have to lie in order to get someone to go out with you, I strongly disagree with you..

Such an amazing building
Sylvain Gadenne (2 years ago)
The building is impressive and a great symbol of the Swiss identity and the particular political system. Especially worthwhile, depending on your trip dates, is that every October they will project a 30-minutes sound & light show directly on the building. The 2019 show was during one week, and was themes on the spatial journey to the Moon in 1964. It was extremely impressive and moving.

The square in front of the Swiss parliament Building is used for farmer markets, events and a lot of other things. We had a tour with a very nice guide and discovered for the first time some of the rooms where politics take place.We went and there happened to be this really cool laser show/movie playing on the building. It was about the Matterhorn and respecting Mother Nature. Loads of people were out watching it despite the weather.
Dany Aubert (2 years ago)
Even if you're unable to tour the Parliament building, it's well worth your time to walk around to the back to see the views of from the terrace behind it. Looking North across the Aare River you can see beautiful gardens and rooftops as well as the museum district and the rolling hills beyond. As true of all places we visited in Switzerland, the building and surrounding area were spotless and well-maintained.

Q: What are representative examples of exaggerated simile like "I never in a million years thought I'd see this."? I found the expression, "I never in a million years thought I'd see this," in the New York Times' article (November 9) commenting on pedophiliac harassment scandals of Penn State under the headline, "Paterno is finished at Penn State, and President is out."
The phrase appears in the following sentence:
Kathryn Simpson, 20, a junior studying graphic design, was weeping as she walked away from the university's administration building, Old Main, with a friend.
"This is devastating for us," she said. "I never in a million years thought I'd see this."
I'm not sure of whether "I never in a million years thought I'd see this," is popular expression or not, but it reminds me of a universal pattern of exaggerated expressions that we imported from Chinese classics and turned them into colloquial metaphors, for examples, "白髪三千丈- an old man with 99,000 feet gray hair, describing a reclusive old man with long gray hair and beard," "万石之涙 - shed 1,800,000 liters of tears, describing deep sorrow," and "万里之長城 - the Great Wall of 40,000 km."
I'm curious to know what kinds of popular, exaggerated formats of English expression you have other than "I never in a million years thought I'd see this."
Would you give me just a few examples that I can use it tomorrow, because there would be hundreds or thousands?

A: The term is hyperbole, which may help with searching for examples.

The Fund aims to achieve a positive absolute return through a combination of capital growth and income on your investment regardless of market conditions.
The Fund seeks to gain at least 70% of any investment exposure to equity securities (e.g. shares) of companies domiciled in, or the main business of which is in, developed countries worldwide. This is achieved by investing at least 70% of its assets in equity securities, other equity-related securities and, when determined appropriate fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds), money market instruments (MMIs) (i.e. debt securities with short-term maturities), deposits and cash.
The equity-related securities include financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. contracts the value of which is based on one or more underlying assets). FDIs may be used to help achieve the Fund's investment objective and the Fund may, via FDIs, generate market leverage (i.e. where the Fund gains market exposure in excess of the value of its assets). At any one time, a substantial amount, or even all of the Fund's assets may be held as cash to provide cover for the exposure created by the use of FDIs or to assist in achieving its investment objective.
To the extent the Fund undertakes securities lending to reduce costs, the Fund will receive 62.5% of the associated revenue generated and the remaining 37.5% will be received by BlackRock as the securities lending agent. As securities lending revenue sharing does not increase the costs of running the Fund, this has been excluded from the ongoing charges.

ESG integration is the practice of incorporating material environmental, social and governance (ESG) information or insights alongside traditional measures into the investment decision process to improve long term financial outcomes of portfolios. Unless otherwise stated in Fund documentation or included within the Fund's investment objective, inclusion of this statement does not imply that the Fund has an ESG-aligned investment objective, but rather describes how ESG information is considered as part of the overall investment process.
The Fund manager includes ESG considerations in the research and decision phases of the investment process. This may include relevant, internal ESG research which along with multiple other research insights, informs active portfolio weighting versus a reference benchmark (or weighting implemented to achieve an absolute return outcome, if applicable). The Fund manager conducts regular portfolio reviews with the Risk and Quantitative Analysis group and with the Chief Investment Officers. These reviews include discussion of the portfolio's exposure to material ESG risks, as well as exposure to sustainability-related business involvements, climate-related metrics, and other factors.

Today in the Bay's Bracketology
By RJ Middleton	• Published at 6:13 am on March 14, 2011
UPDATE Monday, March 28, 6:35 a.m.: The NCAA Tournament may not be over, but our game is. All of our picks are out of the game, so these standings are final.
Brent: 56 pts
Mike: 53 pts
Christina: 52 pts
Laura: 47 pts
Scott: 30 pts
UPDATE Sunday, March 27, 7:20 a.m.: The upset of Ohio State hasn't completely upset our standings, but it has certainly made things interesting. When the Final Four is set today, it could end with a new leader.
UPDATE Friday, March 25, 7:30 a.m.: The first half of round three was not kind to Brent, so the rest of the Today in the Bay crew is gaining ground. Here's where we stand after the first half of the Sweet 16.
UPDATE Monday, March 21, 6:19 a.m.: Brent may be holding onto the lead, but Laura and Christina are close behind. With three points going to every right answer in round three, it's still anyone's game. Well...maybe not Scott's.
UPDATE Saturday, March 19, 9:15 p.m.: Brent seems to know something that even our pros over at CSN Bay Area don't. He picked Butler to beat Pittsburgh. That's enough to put him ahead in our game. Two points per right answer this round.
UPDATE Friday, March 18, 11:20 p.m.: Round one is in the books and now we know for sure that Laura and Brent did not collaborate when they made the brackets. Laura's in the lead, but the rest of the team is close behind. Stay tuned for round two updates.
UPDATE Friday, March 18, 7:15 a.m.: We laughed at Mike when he told us UCLA was going to win it all, but maybe he has some skills we just don't know about. After one day of games, he's leading the pack.
Scott: 9 pts
It happens every March. Those empty brackets look so simple, so enticing -- almost like a family tree -- waiting to be filled in with hopeful victors. We'll pencil some in for emotional ties, others after cold-hearted analysis.
All things being equal, you never know how the NCAA men's basketball tournament will turn out -- and that's the fun. You could have not watched a game all season, then pick your winners based on mascots or numerology or pulled from your alumni hat ... and you'd still have a chance to beat your friends and pick the champion.
Now, you can compete against the Today in the Bay team, too, using CSNBayArea.com's kick-apps "Bracket Challenge." Let's call it a "friendly."

I know there are still some bits left to run, but we've finished our individual foil, so our year is over. It has been a really good experience for Touché Jr - she has made some new friends and practiced her skills against some very handy little U9 foilists! She already knows exactly what she wants to spend the voucher on...!
KK, I have no idea if you are planning next year's booklet yet at all, (NOT hassling you, just mentioning it while I think about it) but I was wondering if it might be worth adding a bit to the parents' section about care of equipment. Yesterday I saw several parents standing in the middle of the piste, having unclipped their offspring, just let the lead go rattling back to the spool on its own. (we had to change 2 spools in 2 rounds of poules). When I mentioned it to one father he said he hadn't thought about it and assumed it was like the hoover lead!!!!
But it won't - just a few minutes to chop off the wire back to the break and then reconnect. Annoying but not expensive.
Only trying to be helpful.
So am I - by educating any of them who are reading this.
"mum my bodywire doesn't work"
After all, my original post was to suggest useful information to help parents take care of their children's kit.
Maybe this may be past the remit of the LPJS booklet though.
u9 u11 u13 rankings will do the u15 when I get the cambridge results emailed.
Also parents might not let their kids walk around swinging their bodywire out of their sleeve if they realised it was going to cost them the price of a new one very soon..


This is a class for teachers and more experienced students. More dynamic variations and postures will be offered. At least 2-3 years of regular yoga practice is recommended along with significant headway in your headstand practice as headstand variations and the scorpion will be practiced in each session. Not suitable for beginners. We recommend that you chat to one of our teachers to see if you are ready for this class before attending.

Quick Hits: Bisons 8, Lehigh Valley 2
The Bisons won a rain-shortened game over Lehigh Valley Friday night.
By Matt Schneidman|Published Fri, Aug 4, 2017 |Updated Fri, Aug 4, 2017
After taking two of three from division-leading Scranton/Wilkes Barre this week, the Bisons (48-64) returned home and banged out eight runs on nine hits in a dominant 4 1/2-inning, rain-shortened 8-2 win over second-place Lehigh Valley (67-45). Second baseman Jon Berti turned a slick double play to end the top of the fifth during a torrential downpour to make the game official just in time. Home-plate umpire John Bacon stopped the game seconds later and it never resumed.
Buffalo scored seven runs in the first three innings en route to the seamless victory over the Philadelphia Phillies Triple-A affiliate at Coca-Cola Field on Friday night, extending its winning streak to three games.
Bouncing back: After Lucas Harrell's last start on July 30, Bisons manager Bobby Meacham said the righty hurler was "out of whack" and that his deliveries were inconsistent. Harrell only allowed one run in three innings in a 7-2 Buffalo victory, but he left much to be desired. On Friday, Harrell again allowed one run, but over four innings he struck out five and had much better command of his fastball. Since the game ended early, reliever Wil Browning got the win because he was the last pitcher despite only throwing one inning. Harrell still hasn't picked up a win on the year.
Dwight shines bright: Dwight Smith Jr. batted three times in four innings and singled each time. He scored twice and drove in a run, raising his average to .291 on the year. Smith has now hit in 10 of his last 13 contests, going 18-54 (.333) with six doubles, two homers, nine RBIs and nine runs scored over that stretch.
Flying Fields: Roemon Fields swiped his 33rd bag of the season in the fourth inning. On Thursday, he became the ninth Bison in the team's modern era to steal 30 or more bases in a season and the first since 2000, when Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stole 39. The Bisons lead the league with 112 stolen bases, and Fields has 30 games left to steal seven to surpass Roberts.
Berti saves the day: With the bases loaded, one out on the board and rain pelting the field in the top of the fifth, Buffalo still needed two outs in order for the game to be official. Brock Stassi grounded to second, where Berti tagged Cameron Perkins running from first to second, before firing to first for the double play. The Bisons snuck into the rain delay already having an official win if the game didn't resume.
First impressions: Catcher Danny Jansen started behind the plate after Raffy Lopez got called up to the Blue Jays, and the Bisons newcomer went 1-for-2 with a two-RBI double and a run scored. Before Friday, Jansen hit .369 in 33 games for Class-A Advanced Dunedin and .291 with 17 extra-base hits and 20 RBIs for Double-A New Hampshire over 52 games.
Up next: The two teams return to Coca-Cola Field for a 7:05 first pitch Saturday night, with Luis Santos (1-6, 4.11 ERA) throwing for Buffalo and Ben Lively (5-1, 2.31) pitching for Lehigh Valley.

American Road Trip l California Las Vegas Canyon Antelope Yosemite Travel Vlog Part-1 Silicon Valley
It's been a while we are planning for a road trip across american states And here we are excited to start today. Our plan is to drive through California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Page & Navajo Nation All together its around 1600 miles. Finally, we are starting our trip today from SFO which is also known as silicon valley We are starting from the iconic Golden Gate bridge. We reached here in the morning Unfortunately, the weather is bad here today. we could not really see the amazing view of this Iconic bridge Its too much fog, and nothing was visible its very disappointing that we could not capture the full pic of this Iconic bridge But still the feel we have standing in front of this marvelous engineering Icon, can't explain in words.It's just amazing.
This is a classic example for how engineering technology motivated people around the globe to develop themselves. The United states of America built this Iconic bridge across this Pacific Ocean in the year of 1937. Building a marvelous Iconic bridge that resist against all these bad weather. like heavy wind and earth quake in 1937 really shows the glory of Americas advanced civil engineering technology.
This bridge was built under the guidance of Mr. Joseph Strauss & team. The little island in the middle of this Ocean is called "Alcatraz island." It is notoriety for military jail. People would say, if you are a criminal you will be taken into jail , and if you are a criminal inside a Jail , you will be taken into Alcatraz jail. This is fully isolated by Water in SFO Bay. Alcatraz was used to house soldiers convicted of crimes as early as 1859.
In 1962, three criminals were escaped, and later a movie "Escape from Alcatraz" was made based on this story. It's a quite morning now, and not many people around here and we noticed this man roaming around. This man seems like a homeless guy, we were really shocked by seeing such people in America, they are not like the street people we are commonly seeing in India, they usually behave decently, and not attack people. Since there are not many people around, we should be careful too.. hence we decided to move away to be safe. "Lets play a mass BGM" We are now driving on top of the Golden gate bridge its an amazing view that the fog slowly made its way and the red huge towers are clearly visible for us.
Its an Amazing view. Even though its little disappointing We decided to go out of this place now "That's fine, we should accept and.. "move on." We started the car and decided to go to.. our next destination called "Lake Tahoe."
Its a hill station surrounded by lakes it's another beautiful place between.. California and Nevada. "We are now driving on top of another long..
bridge called.. "Richmond San Rafael Bridge". "Its not an Iconic bridge but..
this is around 6 miles long bridge.. running across Pacific Ocean." This is also longer than..
Golden Gate Bridge. "This bridge was constructed in 1953." "In India we could see lot of these Iconic.. infrastructure.. being built recently, however..
America built all these huge.. infrastructures long ago." "By noon we reached in Lake Tahoe, this is another beautiful place.. maintained amazingly. This place looks similar to "Ooty"(India). "This place also surrounded by couple of..
viewpoints,towns to travel and hangout. "We are visiting these places one by one." We saw this interesting story written on this visitor center wooden sign board. Read to know what happened to this board Interesting..but.. by reading this story, its little scary that there not many people here and there are bears around us and we need to leave now...!!
"We also saw an amphitheater made of.. woods in this forest." "We feel like this is open to public to.. conduct programs,gathering Etc. "I wish if I had a mic here."..!!
"After Lake Tahoe, we are travelling to.. another beautiful place well known for.. it's natural beauty called "Emerald Bay." "It's a hill area & we are driving through.. different American landscape."
"This place looks similar to Kerala (Southern Indian state)." "But a little different terrain compare to other places in The United states." "Since it's an unplanned trip, we did not.. have much time to explore fully."
"So we decided to go to the top first. There other options also available .. in this to explore." "This island in the middle of this Lake.. is called "Fannette Island", there is a Tea house called.. "Mrs. Knights tea house."
(Owner of Vkingsholm). "This tea house was constructed in 1929". for Mrs. Knight to enjoy ..
the scenic beauty of Emerald Bay." "The other options in this beautiful place.. are Hiking Kayaking & boating." "We can Visit island using these options. "We can see couple of boats in the lake now" "Also interested people..
can do trekking here." There are many hiking points around here. "We reached on top of Emerald Bay..
view point.The scenic view from this.. top point is really amazing." "Many tourists visit here to take picture.. and to enjoy the natural beauty." "Its so nice to see the small island in this..
lake. Behind that you can see the.. beautiful mountain." "We took coupe of pictures and videos..
from here." "We are now travelling from Emarald Bay.. to Mammoth Lake". "We are sure that not many people.. might take this route." to travel to Mammoth Lake."
"No one actually have to." "Yes, " No one really need to use this route. "It's an amazing route,.. Let's see that view" "Yes" "The interesting part of this route.. for this road trip is nothing other than the..
beautiful landscape." "It's so nice to drive between these.. mountains and see how the color of.. these landscapes are changing."
"It was yellow for long time,then changed to brown and then to green, its nice to drive through these different terrain." "Hello Guys," "We are on the way to Mammoth lakes from Lake Tahoe, and parked the car here for a break." "Nothing more to say, its just..
amazing view around." "Its not fully green", a road surrounded.. by many mountains,and trees."we believe. no one lives here as it's a forest area."
"They built a beautiful road here as well" "There are many vehicles on the road." "Looks like the trees are burnt due to fire?" Or may be because of the climate." "It feels like a little bit snow could make this even better ah?" "it could, but also its not that safe to be..
here for long time, lets get out of this.. place before getting dark right?" "Okay, lets meet at next destination." "While travelling we were listening to.. "Sancharam episodes" by "Mr. Santhosh George Kulangara" in YouTube. "Its an amazing feeling and he is so much inspiring all of us."
{Car play} Even if we ride for very long distance in one stretch in America, we will not get tired, its mainly because of such a great infrastructure they build for driving. There are no traffic signals in highways. Also, the Car is fully automatic, and cruise controlled - that helps to relax our muscles in long drives. "Finally, the Day -1 is about to end now,..
another half an hour to reach the hotel." "Sun is about to set back to west. "Yeah, Sun is going back to home."
"Correct, he is raising in India now." "We are continuing our drive through the.. same Landscape, we can see, more.. vehicles, homes etc.. Looks like we are approaching to a town now."
"Let Sun go back to India from America, its time for us also to take rest now, so we already booked a room in Hotel Shilo Inn -Mammoth Lakes. we almost reached there now." "Room looks great , due to covid, there are rules to follow, they put the Key in a cover and handed over to us. "So, this is the room, There is TV, Couch, not much costly and looks very clean" "we paid around 173$ and its worth" "We have to see how to operate this "There is an Oven here" "Cooler is here" "Ironing station is here."
"Okay, Let us take rest now.. we will see again, Bye for now." "Lot more to come in next episodes".

Singer Robert Palmer dies
Palmer died in Paris while taking a break with his partner
Singer Robert Palmer has died of a heart attack in Paris aged 54.
The British star is best known for his hits Addicted to Love, Some Guys Have All the Luck and Didn't Mean to Turn You On.
He had been in the French capital on a two-day break with partner Mary Ambrose, after recording a TV appearance in the UK.
His manager said he suffered the heart attack in the early hours of Friday morning.
The Yorkshire-born singer had recently been on tour of Europe to promote his latest album Drive.
Palmer had been performing since the early 1970s, playing in bands including Mandrake Paddle Steamer and Dada, featuring Elkie Brooks.
He then went on to front Vinegar Joe, also with Brooks, releasing three albums with the band before launching his solo career.
Addicted To Love made Palmer a household name
Brooks said she was "devastated" at the news and had reconciled with Palmer after several "differences of opinion" over the years.
"Robert was a star - he was a great writer, a fabulous musician and a great singer," she said. "And he was stunning looking."
He had a strong influence over other musicians - especially visually, with his ground-breaking videos, she said.
"Robert was always one that wanted to be different, wanted to be trendy - from the way he looked to the music. He wanted to be a step ahead," she said.
Famous video
He was also a member of 1980s supergroup Power Station, which also included members of Duran Duran.
In a statement, Duran Duran said: "He was a very dear friend and a great artist. This is a tragic loss to the British music industry."
It was it was during the 1980s that Palmer achieved mainstream solo recognition.
He was something really rare in the music industry - he was an absolute gent
Ex-publicist Suzanne Parkes

Known for his sharp dress sense, his solo album Riptide produced the top five hit Addicted to Love, which was backed with one of rock music's most famous videos.
It featured Palmer backed by a band featuring identically-dressed woman, who were also made up to look the same.
But after scoring hits with She Makes My Day and Mercy Mercy Me he turned he returned to his rhythm and blues roots.
His Ridin' High album in 1992 was a mix of genres from Tin Pan Alley and cabaret classics.
A greatest hits album was released in 1995 and reached number four in the UK charts.
Although born in Batley, West Yorkshire, he spent much of his childhood in Malta before moving back to the UK at the age of 19 where his family settled in Scarborough.
Later on he spent time living in New York, the Bahamas and Switzerland, but also stayed close to his roots.
Rock journalist Paul Lester, from Uncut magazine, said Palmer rose from northern clubs to become "elegant and sophisticated" and the master of several styles.

"He was kind of a pioneer of blue-eyed soul, which is white men doing black music and R&B pretty well. He had two or three careers," Lester told BBC News Online.
Palmer filmed his parts for a regional TV show, My Kinda People, about his musical influences, for Yorkshire TV on Wednesday.
'So much fun'
Palmer appeared on stage with Chaka Khan at Wembley Arena recently
"At the moment, no decision has been made regarding the future of this programme as everyone's thoughts are with Robert's family and friends," a spokesman said.
Suzanne Parkes, who worked as Palmer's publicist for Power Station's Living in Fear album in 1996, told BBC News Online: "He was something really rare in the music industry. His offstage persona was even nicer than that onstage, he was an absolute gent.
"I'm really sad, but I remember the times with Robert as just so much fun.
"I remember going with him to this secret karaoke club in Soho once - and he actually got up on stage and did karaoke to his own songs, to Addicted to Love, just for a laugh."

"A star for whom the music mattered more than the lifestyle"

There are 1,000,000,000 reasons why cannabis should be legalised
Jimmy NsubugaFriday 29 Jun 2018 7:46 am
The UK could earn £1 billion a year in tax revenues if it legalised cannabis, according to a think tank.
Many will be hoping that incentive proves too irresistible for the Government and it decriminalises the Class B drug soon.
The Institute for Economic Affairs (IEA) claimed around £2.6 billion worth of cannabis was being sold on the black market in Britain each year, with more than three million people using the drug.

Even former Conservative leader Lord Hague thinks laws should be looked at (Picture: Getty Images)
The think tank argued in its report, Joint Venture: Estimating the Size and Potential of the UK Cannabis Market, that legalising cannabis would have other positive knock on effects.
It claimed the police and other public services would be freed up more if weed was not illegal and would save the organisations around £300m annually.
The report said: 'When added to tax revenues of £690 million, plus new streams of income tax, business tax and VAT created by the legal industry, claims about cannabis legalisation providing a £1 billion windfall to the Treasury seem pessimistic.'

Chris Snowdon, head of lifestyle economics at the institute, said the UK should follow Canada and areas in the USA by legalising the drug and described it as a 'win-win-win'.
Legalisation has also got support from former Conservative leader Lord Hague in recent weeks after epilepsy sufferer Billy Caldwell's cannabis oil treatment was confiscated at Heathrow Airport.
Home Secretary Sajid Javid eventually intervened to allow the 12-year-old the drug.
He wrote in the Telegraph: 'Everyone sitting in a Whitehall conference room needs to recognise that, out there, cannabis is ubiquitous, and issuing orders to the police to defeat its use is about as up-to-date and relevant as asking the Army to recover the Empire.
'This battle is effectively over.'
The Government has said it will review the medicinal use of cannabis but underlined it would remain prohibited for recreational use.

Today she shares with us 4 reasons you might not be seeing the fat loss results you've been looking for.
You're cutting calories, exercising more, but still not losing the weight. Fat loss isn't always black and white. In fact, there are multiple reasons your body might be hanging on to stubborn pounds you've been trying so hard to shed!
I know, you're thinking, "Well duh??" this seems like the obvious reason, but hear me out! In simple terms: Fat loss = calories expended > calories consumed; you need to be in a caloric deficit in order to lose weight.
You might be eating salads and choosing healthier options at restaurants, but have you ever stopped to think about the hidden calories? Salads by themselves are low calorie, nutrient packed, healthy options, but some dressings can contain 100-300 calories per serving and the serving sizes the restaurants give you typically aren't small – you might be consuming 2-3 servings of dressing with one salad. Before you know it that 400-calorie salad just turned into a 1,000-calorie meal.
Maybe you opted for the grilled chicken and veggies, GREAT! However, most restaurant vegetables are cooked in a lot of oil; 1-2 tablespoons of oil is close to, if not more than, 200 calories. Unless you specifically ask your waiter/waitress to steam your vegetables, there's a good chance they're doused in oil.
Next time you're prepping your lunch, ordering from a restaurant, or just snacking until your next meal, I encourage you to think about those hidden calories and serving sizes. It may seem small, but small numbers add up over time and may be the reason you aren't making progress.
Say whaaaaaaat? Is that really possible?!
A lot of people tend to think more is better. More cardio + fewer calories automatically equates to fat loss…WRONG. More does not always mean better.
Our bodies are very, very smart machines. They know when we aren't eating enough and when this happens they go into starvation mode. Once we've forced ourselves into starvation mode we hang on to every calorie we consume because our bodies don't know when they'll get another, therefore affecting our fat loss. We require a set amount of calories each day in order to function properly (varies based on gender, age, weight, height, etc.). When we aren't consuming the necessary amount, we cling to what we have to make sure we maintain normal functions. Without it our bodies will literally shut down – think about how tired/lethargic you get when you're really hungry.
If you're eating less than 1,500 calories and performing 2 hours of cardio each day, it might be time to slowly add in more calories and see how your body reacts. The goal is to always be able to eat as many calories as possible while still losing weight, if you're already down to 1,5000 calories a day you don't have much wiggle room before you start harming your metabolism and yourself.
When it comes to weight/fat loss the majority of the population wants to see fast results. Unless you're participating in unhealthy crash dieting and excessive amounts of cardio, this will not happen.
Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. If 10 lbs. is your goal, make sure you're giving yourself enough time to make this happen. I honestly cannot stress this enough! Don't drop below 1,000 calories per day, exclude carbs from your diet, or perform 2 hours of cardio per day, because the minute you stop doing all those things you will gain the weight right back – it's inevitable.
Weight loss should happen through a sustainable diet and exercise regimen. If you can't see yourself continuing after a couple of weeks, it isn't the plan for you. Put in the work, follow the steps, trust the process, and let it happen! If you know you have an event coming up you want to shed a few pounds for, plan/train accordingly. Give yourself the time.
Some of us were blessed with awesome genetics (darn you lucky people) and some of us have to work a little harder to see results (Hiiii, me!) but regardless of your good or bad genetics you're still going to have to put in work to get the results you want.
My genetics work in such a way that when I gain weight the first place it goes is my stomach/low back. The last place I lose it? You guessed it! My stomach and lower back. Unfortunately, we don't get to choose where we gain/lose weight; our genetics do it for us.
Regular over/undereating causes this hormone to become confused and resist fat burning.
In order for this hormone to function properly it is best to time out smaller meals every 2-3 hours to decrease the confusion.
Mostly influenced by carbohydrate intake and/or overconsumption of other fat and protein.
Overconsumption elevates this hormone, prolonged elevation of this hormone will cause you to store excess calories as fat – resulting in a difficulty burning fat.
The more stressed you are, the more elevated your cortisol levels are, and the more fat you hang on to.
This hormone is sensitive to lifestyle choices such as sleep, nutrition, stress, and exercise. Too much/too little of any and your thyroid can be thrown off.
Keeping this hormone at a level where you feel little to no hunger is ideal – try to time smaller meals 2-3 hours apart. It prevents you from starving and causing this hormone to increase.
Considered a fat storing hormone – but, with good reason. Females need the extra weight for when we are carrying children.
Appropriate levels of sleep and nutrient based diet can help keep this hormone regulated.
When any one of these is out of whack, typically so are the rest. Thus, you guessed it, messing up your fat loss.
If none of these explanations sound like you, I encourage you to ask yourself if you're really pushing yourself with your training sessions and nutrition. Our bodies don't change unless we do. If you're going into the gym and training the same or eating the same foods every day, your body isn't likely to change. Push yourself, put in the work, trust the process, and the results will come.
And if you're really worried or suspect something is wrong – talk to your medical provider.


The Book About Champagne That Every Girl Needs!
Here at Blind we love a good drop, but also a good book. Nothing better than tucking into your favourite chair with a glass of your fav and a decent read. Don't mind if I do sip on some Laherte Frères Champagne from the Blind Wine Cellar whilst I do just that!
Well here's a book on one of our favourite subjects, talk about ticking a few boxes!
Jonathan Ray's book 'Drink More Fizz' gives us 100 of the world's greatest champagnes and sparkling wines to drink with abandon.
In alphabetical order, his descriptions are frank, funny and easy to understand, no snobbery here, just how we like it at Blind Wines!
I love this book, however can't help but be the tiniest bit jealous of the travels Jonathan took on to 'research' the book. That's my kind of research!
If you're looking for a book that not only gives you a guide on some great fizzes around the world, covers off some of the more technicals aspects, cocktails, wine terminology along with some fun, get your hands on a copy. It's also a great gift for your friends!
It's men VS women – who has the better wine palate?

Effect of Fluoxetine (Prozac) on Domestic Violence
First Posted : March 1, 2001
Last Update Posted : July 2, 2017
National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)
National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC)
This study will evaluate whether fluoxetine (Prozac), used together with traditional psychotherapy, can reduce aggression in people who are physically violent towards their spouses or significant others. Treatment for domestic violence has centered on behavioral therapies, such as anger management and self-control exercises. Recent studies have shown that fluoxetine-a drug commonly used to treat depression and panic disorder-can decrease acts of aggression.
Men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 who have a history of inflicting physical aggression on a spouses or significant others in the past year (with at least one episode occurring not under the influence of alcohol) may be eligible for this study. Participants spouses or significant others will also be asked to participate. All potential participants will be screened with a medical and psychiatric evaluation and history, breath alcohol analysis, blood tests, urine drug screen and electrocardiogram.
Those enrolled will undergo the following procedures:
Perpetrator
Interview and questionnaires - Participants will be interviewed by a social worker about past and current mental health and use of alcohol and illicit drugs and will complete questionnaires assessing emotional state and personality, depression, anxiety, aggression and alcohol consumption. Some of the questionnaires will be repeated at monthly intervals.
Physical performance testing - Performance and speed will be measured in three separate training sessions that involve repeatedly pressing a button on a button box console, earning points worth money.
Dyadic interaction paradigm - Participants will interact with their spouse/significant other in a small room, first discussing a neutral topic, such as the day's events, and then a subject that has been a source of conflict.
Fluoxetine administration - Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either 10 mg. of fluoxetine or placebo (identical capsules with no active ingredients) once a day for 3 days, then twice a day, increasing up to four capsules a day if there are no serious side effects. Blood will be drawn once a month to measure drug levels. At the end of 3 months, participants taking placebo may remain in the study and receive fluoxetine.
Clinic visits - Participants are followed in the clinic weekly for the first month, then twice a month for the next 2 months for adjustment of number of pills, evaluation of aggressive behavior and alcohol consumption, and therapy for issues of self-esteem, anger management and communication skills. Couples therapy aimed at conflict resolution and improving communication skills will be offered.
Genetic tests (optional) - Blood will be drawn to determine if there is a relationship between genes involved in a chemical process (serotonin reuptake) that is influenced by fluoxetine and the participant's response to the drug.
Spouse/Significant other:
Spouses/significant others will complete several questionnaires once a month (total 4 times) to rate their partners' behavior while in the study. They will also participate in the dyadic interaction paradigm described above at the beginning and end of the study.
Domestic Violence Drug: Fluoxetine Phase 2
There are no controlled studies assessing the effectiveness of pharmacological interventions to decrease aggression in perpetrators of domestic violence. Since serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) have been shown to decrease aggression in other patient populations, we will examine the effectiveness of SSRIs in reducing aggression in perpetrators of domestic violence. In this protocol, perpetrators of domestic violence will be randomized according to a double-blind design to receive either the SSRI, fluoxetine, or placebo. All participants will receive psychotherapy. All participants will also be carefully monitored in the outpatient clinic on a regular basis for three months. Drug efficacy will be established using validated rating scales and provocative aggression inducing paradigms.

New MDS Coordinator at the Exeter Care Center
Julie Dillan, RN, has recently joined the staff at the Exeter Care Center. Julie, lives in York now, but is originally from Fairmont and has been in the nursing profession for over 25 years. According to Julie her job entails, "managing residents overall plan of care. Making sure that all the departments are involved in a team approach to meet the residents goals." Welcome, Julie!
Exeter Care Center Residents Enjoy Race Cars
John Miller explains the finer points of a race car to Wilma Cox.
Greg Ekeler shows Exeter Care Center resident Dale Mizner the inside of his race car during a visit to the Care Center.
Exeter Care Center resident Esther Deterding enjoys posing with her grandson, Greg Ekeler, in front of his race car. She also enjoyed attending the races at Junction Motor Speedway since Greg won the race that evening.
Dale Mizner reminds Greg Ekeler that he owes him a hat while looking at his race car at the Exeter Care Center.
The roar of the engines, the screech of the tires and the smell of hot asphalt was all there at the Exeter Care Center Thursday afternoon.
Four cars, all of which compete in the Cruiser category at local racetracks, paid a visit to the care center in preparation for the resident's visit to Junction Motor Speedway in McCool Thursday evening.
The drivers which included Brian Petro and Clayton Lewis in # 71, Bill Lewis and Jim Lewis in # 11, Greg Ekeler and John Miller in #42 and Brent Kassik and John Miller in #59 brought their cars out to show the residents.
The residents enjoyed asking questions about the cars and how these particular cars require two drivers, one to steer and the other to run the gas and the brakes. They also had the opportunity to look in the cars and get autographs from all of the drivers.
Several of the drivers have ties to the care center as driver Brian Petro is the son of Social Services director Margaret Petro and driver Greg Ekeler had the opportunity to pose with his grandmother, Esther Deterding, who resides at the care center. Bill Lewis in car #11 is the wife of Connie Lewis who works at the care center on the nursing staff. Julie Lewis who is also on the nursing staff has two drivers in her family, husband Bill Lewis in car # 11 and son Clayton Lewis in car # 71.
After the races Margaret Petro reported that "Esther (Deterding) was tickled pink because Greg (her grandson) won - we got to talk on the microphone and everyone cheered. The residents had a great time."
Fillmore County Hospital Vote August 10th
This is an overview of what the new hospital could look like.
An architects drawing of what the new Fillmore County Hospital could look like. According to hospital information the structure would be the same but the exterior elements, like the stucco, will replicate the courthouse look with brick.
Residents of Fillmore County have been given the opportunity to voice their opinion at the polls on August 10th. "Your Future, Your Decision," has been the approach by the Fillmore County Hospital Board on the upcoming special election in regards to building a new hospital in Geneva.
Many residents of the Nebraska county have been somewhat surprised at the special election and the speed in which information is being disbursed and the pace of the election highway.
Just last month Paul Utemark, CEO of Fillmore County Hospital, a county-owned facility, approached the Fillmore County Supervisors with the news that an independent corporation had been interested in buying out the hospital, building a new hospital and donating the old building back to the county.
According to Utemark, the Fillmore County Hospital Board members "asked themselves the question, 'If they can, why can't we?'"
As the board and Utemark researched the issues they found USDA funds available for application, positive feedback from auditors on the hospital's current financial situation and cost-saving opportunities in building new.
The board looked at several reasons to pursue building a new hospital which include the age of the current facility. The FCH was built in 1961 and still has the original HVAC equipment. The design of the hospital was also geared toward the medical needs of the 1960's and not today.
Recently the Hospital board conducted several focus group meetings for leaders in the Fillmore County communities. Utemark presented a power point presentation addressing the pros and cons of the upcoming vote.
At the focus groups, Utemark presented several options including maintaining the status quo. He also discussed a renovation and expansion project versus replacing the hospital under local ownership or private ownership.
Utemark spoke of the financial impact that the hospital has on the county, citing "We have over 100 employees with a $3.5 million annual payroll."
He also spoke of the "high growth in several departments including outpatient clinic, lab, radiology, pharmacy and theraphy service departments. The change and growth has resulted in space and work flow issues in these areas."
With the high usage of the hospital the board was concerned about disrupting business with a renovation and/or expansion project. Upon learning more about the current USDA loan program for 70% of new building, the board began to pursue this avenue.
Meeting the deadline of the UDSA loan program is part of the reason for the rapidly approaching special election. The loan application is due July 15 and the FCH board had to move quickly to have additional audits done and reviewed as well as finding a location, an architect, a builder and the rest of the 30% of the funding for the project. All of those items have been taken care but the biggest issue will be resident approval.
At the focus group Utemark examined some of the concerns that residents of the county might have. He explained that the USDA loan would be "made directly to the hospital." The rest of the funding will come from general obligation bonds and the ongoing revenues of the hospital will be the collateral for the bond debt. Taxpayers are not expected to have to foot the bill for the new construction unless the hospital revenues become insufficient. After the last renovation at the hospital they saw an increase in patient volume and feel "a new facility has the potential to do the same."
Part of the cost savings of starting from scratch versus renovation will be in design costs. The board found several companies who specialize in building hospitals and have plans available similar to the needs of Fillmore County Hospital. Utemark explained that the "savings of a pre-engineered plan can offer significant savings in the design process."
Some of the other restrictions that Utemark cited for renovation are the current land-locked situation at the present site. Currently the board is looking at property on the north side of F street between 18th street and Highway 81. The city owns property near the site the county may use and several of the critical land owners nearby have indicated they are willing to sell.
Utemark and the hospital board members will be conducting town hall meetings in many of the communities in Fillmore County to inform the public on the vote and answer any questions they may have. They also have information on their website at www.fhsofgeneva.org Utemark and other community leaders are very positive about the project, "today we build to grow, having adaptability to change." Change? Well, that will be up to the voters on August 10 in Fillmore County.
Barn Quilt Project
The Fillmore County Barn Quilt Committee is working on the first two Barn Quilts for Fillmore County. Volunteers worked last week to draw the patterns and paint two 8' x 8' quilt blocks.
The quilt block sponsored by the Fillmore County 4-H Council has a four-leaf clover design and will be placed at the Fairgrounds. The other quilt block donated by Lloydene and Gerald Stengel has the LeMoyne Star pattern and will be located on a machine shed on the Stengel farm on Road 2 west of Shickley.
The Pat & Renee Kamler family have also created a barn quilt with a pattern that will placed on their barn on Road P northwest of Shickley.
All three Barn Quilt blocks may be viewed during the Fillmore County fair in the agricultural building. Information about the project and how a person can become involved will also be available.
People who may have a barn or building that could be considered to hold a barn quilt are encouraged to let the committee know by contacting the FC Visitors Co. at 759-4910. Ideally the barn quilt could be seen from both directions of travel and from a hard surfaced road.

Second and Third Graders enjoy Summer Reading Program
Exeter Public Library extended its Summer Reading Program to Second and third graders. They enjoyed reading water related books and making an aquarium craft. They also enjoyed turtle races.
Village of Exeter Purchases New Loader
The Village of Exeter recently purchased a new loader. The subject of a new loader was broached this spring after the bad weather the area experienced this last winter. The Village had a loaner loader over the winter because of a manufacturing issue to replace a broken window in their current loader. The loaner loader was larger than the loader that the village owned and Village Maintenance Supervisor John Mueller stated at a Village Board meeting that they were fortunate to have the larger loaner loader because of all the snow piles that had to be moved. He was concerned that the loader the village owned would not have made it through all of the snow to move the piles.
After researching possibilities, the board offered the current loader up for bids and it was sold in June. Village Maintenance Supervisor Mueller and Village Chairman of the Board Alan Michl spent several days checking loaders and found a used loader in Kansas that met the boards budget and size requirements.
The loader is a Caterpillar 924H. The total for the loader came to $116,150 and the village used the $21, 751 from the sale of the old loader and $15,000 from sales tax funds to help pay for the purchase. The village borrowed the $79,000 to make up the total cost of the loader.

Exeter Cub Scout Pack 218 has been busy this summer. In June the Webelos Scouts (4th and 5th graders) made rockets and launched them. They also made leather knife holders.
The third week in June the Scouts held a pack campout at Lone Star, south of Milligan. This was a combined event with the Friend pack. The weather, although hot, was beautiful Friday night. After supper together the scouts practiced skits and then for their campfire they sang songs led by Friend Cubmaster Lisa Bjornberg and performed several skits. The evening was beautiful for the scouts to sleep in the tents. On Saturday morning the scouts had breakfast and then held a raingutter regata. They had made boats Friday evening and then each level of scouts raced against each other blowing their boats down filled raingutters. There was lots of friendly rivalry with the Friend Pack taking the lead. After the scouts raced, the siblings raced the boats they had made. All the kids enjoyed racing against each other. After the raingutters were cleaned up the scouts gathered for some instruction on art by Cubmaster Leesa Bartu. Unfortunately the rain and storm prevented the group from finishing and the rest of the campout was cancelled. The Exeter scouts will spend a Saturday in the fall fishing and hiking as promised.
In June several of the cub scouts also attended Day Camp in Walton, Nebraska at the Outdoor Education Center. This is the headquarters of the Cornhusker Council of the Boy Scouts of America. The boys made baskets with parachutes on Thursday and launched them on Friday. They shot bb guns and did archery as well as lots of sports activities. On Thursday they were joined by three scouts from the Friend Pack in their camp "den" and enjoyed time with them again. Friday was water day at camp which started with launching the parachutes they made on Thursday with raw eggs in the basket. They used water rockets to launch them. The boys also used wrist rockets (slingshots) with paint balls and played water kickball, water volleyball participated in a camp wide water fight and then enjoyed a 100 foot long birthday cake to celebrate the 100th birthday of scouting in America.
Girls Softball Team Place 3rd in Recent Tournament
The Exeter girls 10 and under team, coached by Mark and Jane Beethe, took 3rd place at a tournament last weekend. The girls 14 and under team also took second place at the Friend Tournament. Congratulations, ladies!!!
Boy Scouts Earn Merit Badges at Cornhusker Camp
Exeter Boy Scouts who are members of Troop 390 out of Cordova spent a week in June at Boy Scout Camp, Cornhusker Camp, near Humboldt, Nebraska.
While they were there they enjoyed swimming, canoeing, archery, cooking and more while sleeping in their tents and learning with many other scouts who were there for the week.
Attending were Kirby Soukup, Cody Soukup, Jack Dinneen and Elliot Erdkamp.
Kirby earned merit badges in swimming, canoeing, archery and camping. Cody earned his Geocaching merit badge and participated in a Senior Patrol Leader program. Elliot earned his swimming, cooking, canoeing and nature merit badges and Jack earned his nature, swimming, canoeing and archery merit badges. The boys also started several other merit badges which they will complete at home.

A local art guild is inviting the public to attend a new exhibit of a local artist.
Melissa Peek, Director of the Princeton Art Guild, says that the newest exhibit at the Guild, "Little Sumin' Sumin'" by artist Tammy Streich Console, is now open for viewing.
Speaking of her art, Console, who grew up in California and then moved to Kentucky later in life, says that her favorite mediums to use are reclaimed wood and acrylic paint. Console and her husband own the fencing business Lake City Fence, which she says allows her to have an endless supply of reclaimed wood canvases.
She attributes her talent and love of art to her family, most notably the women in her life, her mother, grandmother, and aunt. Her grandmother taught her how to paint at the age of ten, while her aunt introduced her ceramics. But Console owes all of her talent to her mother, who supported her every step of the way and in everything she did, whether it was jewelry making, drawing, crochet, painting, or more.
Console's exhibit will be featured at the Guild until March 30th. The Guild, which is located at 115 East Main Street, is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11AM until 2PM. Peek adds that there will be an artist reception for Console on Sunday, March 10th from 1 until 2:30PM. The public is invited to attend.

After several years of delays and setbacks, six million gallons of wastewater will flow into the $62 million North Canadian Wastewater Treatment plant in far northeast Oklahoma City Wednesday morning, City Manager Jim Cook announced today.
Tom Carpenter, wastewater treatment superintendent, said initially some smaller lines from the city's southside treatment plant at NE 4 and I-35 will be tied to two main outfall lines to the North Canadian plant. Carpenter said that level will be maintained for a month to allow bacteria essential for the treatment process to develop.
At full operation, the plant can treat 40 million gallons a day.
Cook said the aging northside treatment plant can be phased out in 30 to 60 days. Additional wastewater will be diverted from the southside plant, reducing water treated at that plant from 32 million to 12 million gallons a day.
Truck hits turnpike bridge The driver of a truck loaded with liquor escaped injury this morning when his rig went out of control and struck a bridge on the Turner Turnpike.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said Wilburn Ray Murray of Oklahoma City was eastbound at Mile 3 of the turnpike at about 7 a.m. when his truck crossed the shoulder of the road, ripped out a section of guard rail on a bridge over Memorial Road and caught fire. Murray managed to extinguish the fire before firemen from Edmond and Oklahoma City arrived, the patrol said.
Norman jail woes increase NORMAN Sheriff C. W. "Bill" Porter has announced that after Friday no drunken drivers will be booked into the Cleveland County jail unless written requests are received from higher authorities. That declaration was in a letter to the county commissioners which outlined problems at the jail.
Last weekend, Porter's letter reported that 72 prisoners were packed into cells, necessitating 12 of those sleeping on the floor, six with no mattresses. "That could very well be in direct violation of (statutes) and the Eighth Amendment rights of prisoners," Porter warned. The letter also requested action to solve those problems.
Moore approves record budget MOORE School board members Monday night approved a record $25.5 million 1981-82 budget for Moore schools up about $4 million from last year's figure. The largest expenditure, $11 million, will go toward salaries.
The board also approved a $1,700 contract with Energy Conservation Engineering Inc. for processing, on-site inspection, and follow-up on work done under a $200,000 federal grant the school district received for energy saving renovations to several school buildings.
Discussion policy tabled MIDWEST CITY Fearing their right to free speech would be threatened by a proposed public discussion policy, residents told a city council committee Monday night "not to shut out the public" by adopting the policy.
The plea came from a handful of residents at a city council committee meeting, but the committee concluded the meeting without finishing work on the policy. Dorothy Jo Zachry, Ward 4 council member who heads the commitee, recessed the discussion on a proposed public discussion policy and set a public meeting for 7 p.m. Nov. 17.
Norman to change ward lines NORMAN Boundary lines for every ward in the city will be altered under a reapportionment plan being developed to equalize the population of Norman's eight city council districts. Except for a few minor changes, reapportionment commission members said Monday night the plan is ready for public consideration, and a recommendation for approval will be forwarded to the city council.
After weeks of reviewing census data collected last year and comparing it with present ward boundaries, commissioners have moved boundary lines to give each ward about 8,505 people, city planner Doug Koscinski said. BIOG: NAME:
