Who Wants To Play More NFL Games?
Bill LittlefieldTwitter
The Eagles' Brian Westbrook suffered a concussion during this 2009 game against the Chargers. (AP)
The argument for adding two games to the National Football League's regular season is simple. More games mean more money for the owners, who — like the owners of all professional teams — maintain that they do not have nearly enough of it to continue doing business.
The owners also allege that more games will mean more entertainment for the fans, whose best interests they – like the owners of all professional teams – claim to care about a great deal.
The extent to which the players would benefit from two additional games remains murky. Since the current negotiations over a new collective bargaining agreement have been characterized by the owners' claim that they can't even afford to keep sharing the revenues at the rate the current agreement requires, how can anybody be sure more work by the players will result in more pay?
Beyond that confusion, a lot of what's been said about the proposed increase in games has been self-serving and transparently ridiculous. Commissioner Roger Goodell has pointed out that the league doesn't need the approval of the players to add the games. Doesn't that sound like a dandy way to insure cooperation in the alleged negotiation of a new contract?
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has said of the proposed expansion of the season, "I think it's a win-win all around," and no doubt there were nods of agreement all around the table at which Kraft and his fellow owners were seated on the day last month when he offered that cheerful observation.
Some advocates of the revised schedule have celebrated the fact that it would eliminate two meaningless preseason games. But who can doubt that a longer regular season would be likely to create more meaningless games at the end of the schedule for teams that have secured postseason slots?
But these are matters tangential to the most significant consequence of expanding the season, and you don't have to take my word for it. Consider the comments of National Football League Players' Association President Keven Mawae, who said this week of laboring in the NFL, "it's like being in a car wreck every week." Two more regular season games would mean two more weeks of car wrecks for the players, who, Mawae said, "feel like crud by week ten, let alone week fifteen or sixteen."
Under those circumstances, for the owners to increase the hours and workload while maintaining that they are exploring new ways to protect the health of their employees might charitably be characterized as rank and shameless hypocrisy.

83-year-old woman who had fallen a 70-foot survives thanks to her 'clever' cat
"Piran the cat saved the day!" said one admirer, Bodin Police Department posted on Facebook.
It's always nice to have a devoted pet by your side. Animals have amazing instincts and will rush into action to assist you in an emergency.
Like one clever cat that is credited with saving his 83-year-old owner's life when she fell into a ravine.
Piran the hero cat, who helped the rescue in Bodmin, Cornwall.
The Bodmin Police in England launched a search for an elderly woman who had gone missing in the region on August 14. It didn't take long, though, for them to make a breakthrough, due to an unusual source.
A nearby woman reported hearing a cat meowing incessantly at the corner of a vast maize field.
The 83-year-old has dragged up the 70-foot ravine by rescuers using a stretcher.
The neighbor soon recognized that the cat, Piran, belonged to the missing woman and was tried to notify her of her whereabouts.
The 83-year-old had reportedly fallen far over an embankment in a field near her home.
"The elderly female had fallen about 70ft down a very steep embankment, with exceedingly poor access and uneven ground," according to a report from Bodmin Police.
Longmuir then went out into the field and began screaming out the woman's name.
When the missing woman was found, Bodmin Police and Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service rushed to her aid, rescuing her from the ravine.
Cornwall Air Ambulance flew her to the hospital when she was hoisted out. She was reported in stable health, and according to an update, she is "in excellent spirits" while receiving care.
"It's a great 'well done to all the emergency services who worked together, as well as to Piran," an unnamed neighbor told BBC. "Things could have turned out a lot worse."
The cat leaded rescuers to the 83-year-old woman.
While emergency personnel executed the actual rescue, Piran deserves a lot of credit for saving his owner's life. With the woman's age and the fact that she was out of sight of the rescuers, it's easy to see how things could have turned out quite differently if the cat hadn't been so alert.
"Piran the cat saved the day!" said one admirer, Bodin Police Department posted on Facebook.

Q: Can someone explain how recursive insertion sort works? Assuming A is an array, and n is the number of elements in A,
recursive_insertion_sort(A, n)
    IF n > 1 THEN
        recursive_insertion_sort(A, n-1)
        key = A[n]
        i = n - 1
        DOWHILE A[i] > key AND i > 0
            A[i+1] = A[i]
            i = i - 1
        ENDDO
        A[i+1] = temp
    ENDIF
END

Can someone explain how recursion works in this case? There are a few things I don't understand:

*

*I don't understand why we have to call the function again if n > 1.

*Why do we input (n-1) when we call the function again? Is it so that we start the entire process from n = 2, the first 2 elements?

*How does recursion in general work? Like, once we call the function again, do we ignore the code from line 4 onwards, and jump straight into the second call? Or do we run the 2nd call in conjunction with the first call?

A: Before discussing the implementation, let's explain what this function does: it does not sort the entire array A, but only its initial n elements. You can pass the length of the array for n to sort the whole thing, but the fact that you pass the length separately is essential to understanding the rest of the answer.

I don't understand why we have to call the function again if n > 1.

Perhaps a better way to explain the meaning of this condition would be that we do not call this function again when n is one or less. This is called the base case of recursive algorithm, i.e. the case when you don't have to do anything. In case of sorting it means that an array of only one element is already sorted.

Why do we input (n-1) when we call the function again?

Since n is the number of elements that we need to sort, We pass n-1 to sort the front of the array. Once the function returns, we know that the portion A[1..n-1] is already sorted. All we need to do is to move A[n] to its right place. We do that in the DOWHILE loop that follows: we go backward one element at a time, moving elements that are bigger than A[n] to the right. Once the loop is over, we place A[n] to its new place. Now the range A[1..n] is sorted.

How does recursion in general work?

The function has two cases - the trivial base case, when everything is done, and a reduction step, when you use recursive invocation to solve a simpler problem, and then use the results of the simpler solution to construct your final solution.

once we call the function again, do we ignore the code from line 4 onwards, and jump straight into the second call?

No, once the function returns, we continue where we left. In your case, the function waits for the A[1..n-1] range to be sorted before placing A[n] to the right place.

A: Small example to understand how this works :
recursive_insertion_sort([1, 7, 5, 2], 4)
    | recursive_insertion_sort([1, 7, 5, 2], 3)
    |    | recursive_insertion_sort([1, 7, 5, 2], 2)
    |    |    | recursive_insertion_sort([1, 7, 5, 2], 1)
    |    | puts 7 in the right position between it's ORDERED left values [1] -> [1,7]
    | puts 5 in the right position between it's ORDERED left values [1,7] -> [1,5,7]
puts 2 in the right position between it's ORDERED left values [1,5,7] -> [1,2,5,7]

Југославија је учествовала на Песми Евровизије 1974. са песмом "Моја генерација" у Брајтону, Уједињено Краљевство.

Југовизија
Опатијска Кристална дворана хотела Кварнер била је и домаћин Југовизије одржане 1974. године. У овом издању Југовизије није било значајнијих промена, као што је то био случај прошле године. Формат остаје исти - два полуфинала и финално вече.

Током три вечери Југословенске песме Евровизије, публику су водила четири водитеља Оливер Млакар, Миланка Бавцон, Љиљана Трајковска и Мићо Орловић. Полуфиналне вечери одржане су 28. фебруара и 1. марта, са 18 песама које су се изводиле сваке вечери, а 12 је прошло у финале. Као и прошле године, о финалистима је одлучивао жири који је давао гласове "да" и "не".

У финалу свака република и аутономна покрајина имале су по пет жирија са десет чланова. Чланови ових жирија додељивали су бодове од један до девет и тако су одлучили ко путује на Песму Евровизије. Улазницу за британску песму Евровизије освојила је група Корни са песмом Моја генерација.

Прво полуфинале

My Shame is a Shapeshifter
Posted on April 28, 2020 October 23, 2020 by Sara in childhood sexual abuse, healing from trauma, healing through art
My shame is a shapeshifter. It changes its form at will to unsuspectingly inject its poison into my brain. It hunts and stalks me with careful precision, lurking in dark places where it can remain undetected. My shame transforms into whatever I think I need, masked as protection as it tempts and lures me into its darkness. It looks like a friend sometimes, offering me comfort and relief. But as soon as I accept it, my shame once again changes form and devours me.
My shame craves the silent darkness. It grows strength there, waiting and watching, and always knowing when to strike. It senses my vulnerabilities and seizes those moments as opportunity to inflict harm. At times its attacks are quite subtle. It slyly lingers nearby sending quiet whispers that seem to slither their way into my brain. Other times it brings an overwhelming force so loud and so heavy that it demands submission and engulfs me in a way that makes me feel unrecognizable. It takes who I truly am and buries it under all that I fear about myself. When I surrender and crumble into its grip, my shame claims victory. It sharpens its knife with a knowing smile, offering a simple solution to dull my pain. Only that solution merely becomes more fuel to a destructive fire already burning inside of me.
My shame does not like you. It feels threatened by you and in turn works to keep me from getting too close to you. It doubts your sincerity, questions your intentions, and urges me to remain quiet and small. When I choose to reach out to you my shame works overtime to reel me back in. When I stumble – when I fall – when I withdraw from you, my shame becomes my only companion. It guides me back into its darkness. Its consistent messages somehow feel safe and reliable when faced with the alternative unpredictability in you. But there is a cost to this perceived safety. The cost is relationship – the cost is true connection – the cost is a sense of belonging anywhere outside of the prison I feel myself trapped in. My shame tries to convince me that its protection is worth the cost. Often times I am persuaded. Yet somewhere inside of me shines hope for another way.
I have learned that my shame has a weakness. Its power wilts and fades away when it is exposed to light. I try to use this weakness to defeat it. I venture into the darkness, searching and digging through all of the crevasses where it hides, tracking its movements and patterns in an attempt to cast a light onto this enemy of mine. But no matter how hard I search and how deep I dig, my shame's quick and clever maneuvers keep it one step ahead of me. It seems to multiply at every turn, making it harder for me alone to chase. I need an army – an army of light to help me hunt down and destroy my shame. But there is risk with this army. To call upon this army means that I must be willing to let them see all that I wish to keep hidden. My fear is their judgment, which keeps me silently cowering in hiding, clutching onto my shame as a familiar safety blanket. My shame knows this. It depends on this. It thrives in this. The only way to defeat my shame is to call it out by name for my army of light to hear and to allow their presence, their comfort, and their healing light to shine on all of my dark places.

Simone Biles and the cult of the quitter
Time has named Biles its Athlete of the Year. That is bonkers.
chief political writer
Topics Culture Politics USA
So, Time's Athlete of the Year is someone who quit. I don't mean 'quit' in the pejorative sense. I mean it in the literal sense. Simone Biles, the brilliant, highly decorated gymnast, 'stopped doing something', which is the dictionary definition of quit. At the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo in July, she 'stopped doing' the gymnastics, after suffering a bout of 'the twisties'. That is, she quit. And yet now Time has put a halo around her head and named her the most inspiring sportsperson of the year. Time to take down all those motivational posters saying 'Winners never quit and quitters never win'. Because in the weird 2020s, quitters do win.
The problem here is not Biles. She did seem to suffer a disorientation at the Olympics. On 27 July, as she soared above the vault, she became confused. The twisties, they call it, when a gymnast feels a disconnect between their mind and their body. Her darting eyes suggested she was even unsure how to land. That's bad. It's understandable she decided to call it a day. She had been expected to waltz off with five golds from Tokyo but in the end she got just one team silver and a bronze in the balance beam. No, the problem isn't the fact that Biles quit – it's the cultural elite's sanctification of her quitting, their transformation of it from a moment of untypical fear and failure into a holy lesson about the virtue of fragility. This elite validation of giving up is far scarier than the twisties.
No sooner had Ms Biles packed her gym bag back in July than the opinion-shaping set was bombarding her with garlands of praise. 'Simone Biles' withdrawal is more impressive than winning', declared one observer. I look forward to using that line next time I fail to finish a project on time. 'I think you'll find that my failure to complete the work is more impressive than if I had completed it…' A writer for the New York Times celebrated Biles for 'rejecting stoicism'. Stoicism – the endurance of hardship without complaint – is the great no-no in this era in which we're meant to constantly confess to feelings of frailty. In which we are forever being invited to rely on others rather than ourselves. In which we're told we need therapists, lifestyle gurus, influencers and the state just to get from one day to the next. Stoicism has virtually been pathologised. It's those who think they have the internal resources to make it through tough times who are seen as the real loons these days.
But isn't stoicism central to sport, especially to the elite level of sport Ms Biles is engaged in? Apparently not. Michelle Obama congratulated Biles for quitting when she tweeted: 'Am I good enough? Yes I am.' Ms Obama says this is 'the mantra' she practises daily. I'm sorry, but first of all I don't believe that. You don't get from the South Side of Chicago into the upper echelons of law and eventually into the White House by waking up every day saying, 'You know what? I'm enough.' I would wager that Ms Obama frequently thought the precise opposite: 'This isn't enough. I want more.' Secondly, this mantra of enoughism would be a death knell to competitive sport. The whole point of elite sport is to never feel satisfied; to push yourself harder every day. It's written into the very motto of the Olympics: Citius, Altius, Fortius – faster, higher, stronger. If the therapeutic elites typified by Ms Obama had their way, it would be 'That's fast, high and strong enough, thank you. Let's leave it at that.' How thrilling.
Now, Time has spelled out just how dangerous, not to mention hyper-narcissistic, this cult of quitting can be. Time celebrates Biles essentially for being selfish. Really. Its gushing piece heaps praise on Biles for making clear 'the importance of prioritising oneself and refusing to succumb to external expectations'. 'With the eyes of the world upon her', Biles reminded people to think about 'what they owe themselves', says Time. This all feels darkly neoliberal. Me, me, me. To hell with the old virtues of loyalty and solidarity and – whisper it – self-sacrifice in the name of a greater cause, whether that be sporting spectacle or just helping out in your local community. No, 'prioritising oneself' overrides it all. That's what will win you accolades from Time and the globalist set – putting yourself before others.
Imagine if this cult of self-prioritisation was applied across society. Imagine if firefighters or refuse collectors or builders or midwives – the kind of people who keep society going – were to elevate their feelings over their work, over their calling, over their sense of duty. Our world would grind to a halt. The truth is that it is very often the negation of the self, or rather the folding of the self into something bigger, something more important and good than our own petty concerns, that lays the groundwork for social solidarity. A society in which everyone was prioritising themselves rather than considering 'external expectations', in which we all constantly thought about what we 'owe ourselves', would be a very depressing place. It would be debased, atomised, fragmented. The beatification of St Simone the Quitter sends a very worrying message to the next generation.
Time rather gives the game away with its emphasis on self-prioritisation. This sheds a lot of light on why so many in the elite, including even a former inhabitant of the White House, praised Biles for quitting. It's because they spied in her self-prioritising act the kind of sharp-elbowed machinations that are necessary in their world. The cult of the self is essential to these movers and shakers in globalist cliques. But to the rest of us who must strike up social bonds and networks in order to survive and thrive, it feels entirely alien to obsess over what we 'owe ourselves'. We know that our freedoms and comforts, our right to enjoy the good life, are bound up with other people's. We know that our happiness as individuals is intertwined with the social connections we build and move within. We prioritise others and in the process we strengthen ourselves. The virtues of courage, commitment, stoicism and hard work – these are infinitely preferable to waking up, looking at the harsh world outside your window, and thinking to yourself: 'Nah, I'm enough. I'm staying in bed.' Keep the posters up after all: quitters never win.

The cause is unknown at present but it is generally accepted that it is caused by variations in brain structure or function. There is evidence to suggest that genetics plays an important role in the cause of ASD; it is likely to be multiple genes. Genes may create a "susceptibility" to developing ASD but researchers have not yet identified a single "trigger" that causes ASD to develop. There is no medical or genetic screening currently available.
Do all individuals with ASD have intellectual disability?
Some individuals with ASD have an intellectual disability whilst some have average or above average intelligence. Often individuals with ASD show an uneven pattern of skills having areas of particular strength and other areas where support may be required.
How do individuals with ASD communicate?
Individuals with ASD vary greatly in their communication skills. Some individuals are highly articulate and effective communicators, often well above their chronological age. Some individuals may never develop language. Others may develop simple language or some may not develop speech but may communicate with devices, signing, pictures or writing. Those who do communicate verbally may still have difficulties with the subtleties of language such as tone of voice, knowing when to stop talking and adapting their language to suit their audience.
How does ASD affect a person during their life?
ASD is a lifelong condition. Most individuals will require varying degrees of support throughout their lives. The supports are unique to the needs and age of the individual. Such supports work on the areas that can best support the person to fulfil and maximise their potential.
Using evidence based interventions and supports are important to ensure the success of the programs as these interventions have been researched and have shown positive outcomes. Fact sheet: Autism and Evidence Based Practice explains the evidence based approach.


Filming for Natural Stone Installation: Best Practices for Safety and Success took place in December at the MIA+BSI offices in Oberlin, Ohio.

LODI, N.Y. (AP) — A woman who survived being swept into one of the Finger Lakes by a flash flood says she called 911 and her family to say she didn't think she'd survive the ordeal.
Rene Halligan tells The Associated Press Thursday that she was staying at a campground on Seneca Lake when her camper began filling with water around 5 a.m. Tuesday.
She says she used her cellphone to call 911 and then her daughter and boyfriend, telling them goodbye because she didn't think she was going to live.
Halligan managed to get out a door but was swept into the lake amid trees, boards and propane tanks carried away by the torrent.
She says she floated for about two hours before boaters rescued her.
Halligan's dog, Ruby, survived and remains loose at the campground.

Rob Gronkowski is a name that will not be forgotten any time soon in the National Football League. The star entered the NFL in 2010 as a second-round pick. One year later, he led the NFL with 17 touchdowns and hit the 1,000-yard mark in just four seasons.
He has been consistently ranked as one of the best receivers when he was physically fit. His career was awesome as he had 521 receptions for 7,861 yards. He has also had 79 touchdowns. Rob has the fourth-most touchdowns for a tight end. He played 115 games before he decided to 'retire' and ranked number 12 in the 2018 season.
The star played for the New England Patriots for nine seasons before he was forced to 'retire' by back surgery in 2018. However, many people believed that the 29-year-old was too young to retire from professional football. Research shows that the average retirement age for most NFL players is 35 years. Thus, Rob still has some years before his fans 'allow' him to retire for good. But the big question is, why retire so early?
Rob Gronkowski announced his retirement in March 2019
His injuries and health challenges
His last career game with Patriots
His 'retirement' days
Joining Tampa Bay Buccaneers
There were many speculations after the star opened up about his intention to retire in March 2019. Many people believed that he needed to put his health first. The star was hosted on HBO's "The Shop," where he discussed his decision to leave the football world.
He was quoted saying that he got signals to leave the scene two years earlier. He was getting smoked by every rookie during his practices, which made him reconsider his career. He went on ahead to highlight that he had to look far beyond football. In his words, he said that he had a feeling that he had to get away from the game and focus on his health first.
Accumulated injuries and years of suffering are the sacrifices behind the big football name that rob has created over the years. Talking to a CBS respondent in a past interview, Robs says that he can only allow his son to play football after educating him on this game's dangers.
He went to say that he learned a lot after being in the game for a decade. He believes that every injury that one gets is fixable. He explained that he went through nine surgeries, five blackouts that he can remember, and more than 20 concussions and still emerged victorious.
The three-time Super Bowl champion created a name for himself as one of the dominant tight ends in NFL history. He appeared on the All-Pro first team on four different occasions. However, injuries sustained on his knee, arm, and ankle forced out of his final season with the New England Patriots.
The Super Bowl LIII was his final career game with the Patriots. His team emerged victorious over the Los Angeles Rams (13-3). However, he couldn't enjoy the victory as he was in pain. A hit on his quadriceps left him with the biggest bruise he has ever got in his football career. He could sleep for only 20 minutes for several weeks. He was also not able to walk properly for some time after this injury.
Rob's mood was volatile during this season. There were moments he would feel okay as if he had overcome the suffering. However, this could later change and end up in deep pain. Sitting down without focusing on the pain was very hard for more than a month. He was forced to drain a liter of blood from his thigh due to internal bleeding. That was the time he decided that he had to retire, even though he was 29 years at the time.
Rob was forced to undergo the third spine injury after this encounter. His football career started becoming unclear. Fans and experts alike were not sure about to expect from this surgery, and he was 27 years old at that time. Be sure to check the article where Joshua Rovner talks about Gronkowski's comeback chances and what to expect.
During his 'retirement' the football star partnered with CBDMedic. The company creates pain treatments derived from CBD products. Talking in an interview, the emotional football star told his fans that he needed time to recover. He described that football was bringing him down emotionally, and he thus needed time off. The announcement left a possibility of un-retiring, which was actualized later. He became an advocate of CBD products to be used for pain relief during his 'retirement' days.
He stated that he had a reason to have joy in his life and passion for his life. He went on to say that he needed that joy before he could shine it on other people. Rob also noted that he knew other players were dealing with pain in the NFL, and walking away would help him heal.
The fact that he 'unretired' is enough proof that he can back stronger. Rob 'unretired' on April 21, 2020, and joined Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Patriots still held their hopes that Rob would rejoin them after recovering from the surgery. Robert Kraft, the Patriots owner, was yet to receive retirement papers from Rob in October 2019. However, he failed to submit his paper for consideration on the Nov. 31, 2019 deadline/
Rob was traded by the Patriots, which still held his rights. The move reunited him with his former teammate Brady. His first game was on Sept. 13, 2020, where he played his first regular game in two seasons.
Rob was up to the challenge, and he caught five passes for 78 yards in the game against Green Bay Packers on October 18, 2020. It was also on this day that he made his first touchdown for the team. The Buccaneers won 38-10, and his touchdown was the first since the last one he had in December 2018 during the game against Miami Dolphins.

Tips To Start MMA Training
Top Supplements For Athletes


In addition to my work with life and corporate coaching, I am a passionate amateur triathlete. I am working to obtain my coaching certification to begin coaching triathletes, especially folks new to the sport or those looking to participate in their first Ironman race. As someone who has spent the better part of 13 years racing and experiencing triathlon, I am a huge advocate for the benefits of the training and "racing", if this is something that calls to you.
Recently I had an exchange with a relative stranger at a company I was visiting for a full-day workshop that challenged my self-definition and left me on the precipice of diving head-long into a shame spiral.
We were all milling around in a conference room and one of the employees walked over and introduced himself. I did the same and we started making small talk.
"I thought you were a triathlete?" this man said to me.
"I am, I said. I'm an Ironman." My voice was tinged with pride as that is no small accomplishment. This is a large part of my self-worth and values. Crossing that finish line at Ironman Florida is something I will never forget and provides daily motivation.
"You don't look a triathlete," he said, his voice echoing across the conference room, which was filling up with folks.
Yep. That's what this man said to me. He scanned my body and told me that I didn't fit his vision of what a female triathlete should look like and felt compelled to share that with me. There was an awkward pause in the conversations going around me. I felt that the eyes of the entire room were scanning my body, trying to figure out if they agreed with his opinion or not (this was probably NOT happening, by the way, in reality…more on this later).
So what type of storytelling happened for me in those brief moments?
Honestly, my first reaction was to agree with this guy. I don't look like the pictures you see of professional female triathletes in magazines or social media.
Not that long ago, I would have tried to counterbalance my shame in the moment by tearing into this person, verbally eviscerating him, leaving no doubt that I thought he was rude, ignorant, FAT, and dozens of other horrible things that probably would have jeopardized my reputation among my team members and within the client team. I didn't do that, but I wanted to – the desire to punch back and shame him like he'd shamed me was very strong.
I'm not going to tell you that I smiled calmly and let his words pass over my aura untouched – I'm not THAT enlightened and beatific.
Instead, I let a few seconds pass in silence and asked him: "What does a triathlete look like then?", admittedly with an edge to my voice. He stammered out an apology, made a comment about wanting to get some coffee, fled the room, and the conversations around us sparked up again. The moment had passed without emotional or social bloodshed on either side. But it left a mark.
What I choose to take from this incident - with the benefit of hindsight - is that my reaction to his obtuse comment was completely under my control.
In the spirit of the movie Inside Out, I could choose which part of my personality to lead with: joy, fear, anger, sadness, or disgust.
Did he mean to shame me? I don't know. Was he telling himself a story about not being good enough because here was this person 'bragging' about running triathlons? I don't know. Was his view of the world filtered through his specific len(s) about self-worth? Yes, absolutely.
The incredible Brené Brown shares in her books that only those in the 'arena' with us – those embracing vulnerability – should be listened to, in terms of feedback. Those critics sitting outside the arena freely offer their criticism, but it should hold less weight for us, given that these folks are not willing to face their fears, join in on the rumbling, and risk getting knocked down.
Was this man in the arena? From my perspective, no.
What would have happened if I'd taken his criticism to heart, let it influence the way I viewed myself and my body?
I might have cashed my ticket for the shame spiral rollercoaster…telling myself, "He's right. I'm fat. I'm out of shape. I'm a fraud." In one moment, I would have discounted all of my hard work, my self-worth, and my ability to face these huge challenges, all in one go. What a huge loss.
How many of us, especially when we're tired or feeling vulnerable, let these types of comments alter our self-image?
What examples can you think of from your life?
How can you break the cycle of shame when these situations arise?
Thanks so much for reading! Until next time, keep living your best life!

Ajmarština, aymarština, ajmara nebo aymara (španělsky aimara, aimará, aymara či aymará, vlastní název aymar aru) je indiánský jazyk z And. Mluví se jím v západní Bolívii, jižním Peru a severním Chile, další mluvčí žijí v Limě, Santiagu de Chile a mezi bolivijskými imigranty v Buenos Aires a na dalších místech Argentiny. V Bolívii a Peru je jedním z úředních jazyků. Z hlediska počtu mluvčích je v současnosti třetím nejrozšířenějším domorodým jazykem Ameriky, po kečuánštině a guaraníjštině. Ajmarština je rodným jazykem asi 2,2 milionu lidí.

Uvádí se, že název jazyka má původ ve slovním spojení jaya mara aru – starodávný jazyk (doslova daleký/daleko rok jazyk), ale dnes se odborníci přiklánějí spíše k názoru, že je odvozen od jména etnické skupiny Aymaraes, která v minulosti obývala oblast na jihu nynějšího peruánského regionu Apurímac. Jeho význam je však nejasný.

Historie a dialekty
Na základě glotochronologické metody se předpokládá, že k rozpadu původního jazyka na centrální větev, jaqaru a kawki došlo kolem roku 500 n. l. K rozrůznění dialektů v bolivijském Altiplanu došlo odhadem kolem roku 1500. Na rozdíl od kečujštiny jsou ale ajmarské dialekty navzájem srozumitelné.

Původně se ajmarsky hovořilo na území kolem dnešního města Lima. Postupně se jazyk šířil na jih, přičemž největšího rozsahu dosáhl přibližně kolem roku 1300. Postupně byl na severu a v části departamentu Oruro nahrazen kečujštinou. V Bolívii tento proces asimilace na kečujštinu trvá dodnes.

Ajmarské dialekty se liší zejména na fonologické úrovni, často například alternují fonémy /t/ a /th/, /j/ a /x/, /t/ a /th/ (a jiné s aspirací) apod. Poměrně často také docházi k přesmyčce, jako u chawlla a challwa "ryba". Některé dialekty také velmi zřídka užívají sufixů pro vyjádření aktuálního větného členění. Na úrovni morfologie a syntaxe jsou rozdíly menší (s výjimkou dialektů silně ovlivněných kečujštinou), např. munktti "nechci" (La Paz, Bolívie) vs. muntsa (Colchane, Chile), manq'asktawa "(právě) jíš" (La Paz) vs. manq'jtawa (Colchane).

Kromě regionálních variant existují také varianty sociální, konkrétně jaqi (=lidé; zde znamená indiáni) a q'ara (pejorativní označení pro bílé a mestice). Tyto dvě varianty (z nichž druhá se používá zejména při oficiálních příležitostech a v Radio Aymara) se liší kromě sémantiky některých sloves počtem fonémů a syntaktickou strukturou vět. Vzhledem k velkému počtu hispanismů v q'ara (často dochází ke code-switching) lze situaci přirovnat k jopará v Paraguayi, ovšem s tím rozdílem, že v Paraguayi je jopará běžně užívaným jazykem jazykem většiny populace, kdežto ajmarojazyčná populace v Bolívii používá v běžné konverzaci "čistou" variantu ajmarštiny.

Charakteristika a nástin gramatiky
Morfofonologická struktura ajmarštiny je poměrně jednoduchá, téměř úplně převládá typ CV (souhláska-samohláska). Vzhledem k morfosyntakticky podmíněné elizi koncových samohlásek na hranici morfémů může ovšem dojít k výskytu shluků souhlásek (consonant clusters), např. yatktti (morfofonologicky yati-ka-ta-ti). Staré výpůjčky ze španělštiny přizpůsobily strukturu slov (kromě fonémů) pravidlu CV, např.: palasa (< plaza – náměstí), phuruta (< fruta – ovoce) apod.

Ajmarština je polysyntetický jazyk, tj. gramatické kategorie se vyjadřují převážně sufixy (skládajícími se z 1-6 slabik) s pevně danou pozicí. Typický slovosled je SOV, tj. podmět-předmět/komplement-přísudek. Jazyk nezná ekvivalent slovesa být, to se vyjadřuje sufixy, např.:

Ch'uqix p'ujsawa. – Brambory jsou měkké/moučnaté.

Hranice mezi slovními druhy jsou často nejasné, např. jayra znamená "lenoch, líný, lenošit", jallu znamená "déšť/prší", panqara znamená "rostlina" i "kvést" apod. Postavení slova ve větě zpravidla určují až sufixy, které se dělí na jmenné, slovesné a nezávislé (nevztahují se ke slovnímu druhu). Některé sufixy mění jmenný charakter slova na slovesný a naopak, a to i několikrát v rámci jednoho slova. Např. yati znamená "znalost" nebo "vědět", yaticha (>V) znamená "naučit" (sufix -cha je slovesný), yatichiri (>V>N) znamená "učitel" (sufix -iri nominalizuje), yatichirï (>V>N>V) znamená "být učitelem" (prodloužení koncové souhlásky je fonemické a verbalizuje) atd.

Slovesné sufixy nejsou morfosémanticky transparentní, tj. jeden morfém v sobě kombinuje kategorii způsobu, času, osoby podmětu a podle valence slovesa osoby dalšího argumentu (který je vybrán vzhledem k Silversteinově hierarchii životnosti). Ajmarština nezná pasívum (v indoevropském smyslu) ani aplikativ, má ale jiné morfologicky derivační procesy měnící valenci sloves, jmenovitě kauzativum, benefaktiv a malefaktiv. Například základní imperativ od slovesa alaña "koupit" je alam "kup", s vyjádřením druhotného argumentu sufixem -ita vznikne forma alita "kup (si) ode mne", s benefaktivním sufixem -rapi vznikne forma alarapita "kup pro mě" atd. Podobně existují vedle sebe formy sartam "vstaň", sartayam "vzbuď ho (kauzativum: donuť ho vstát)", sartayarapita "vzbuď ho kvůli mně" apod.

Vztažné vedlejší věty jsou tvořeny nominální formou slovesa a příslušnými závislými členy. Nominální forma slovesa na rozdíl od finitní nevyjadřuje osobu předmětu, tj. např. yatichañapa znamená "bude učit mě/tebe/jeho/ji" (finitní formy se liší: yatitu/yattam/yati). Podle typu věty má slovesná forma pád, např. yatiqañamataki "aby ses mohl učit" (benefaktiv: -taki), yatiqañamkama "dokud se budeš učit" (limitativ: -kama) apod. Osoba podmětu se vyjadřuje v závislých větách posesivním sufixem.

Vlastnictví se vyjadřuje sufixy (posesor) a lokativem (závislý člen), např. utaja "můj dům", kullakan utapa "sestřin dům" apod. Je-li závislý člen neživotný, vztah mezi oběma členy není morfologicky vyjádřen, např. Wuliwya prisidinti "prezident Bolívie".
V predikátu se užívá sufixu -ni (např. pä utanïtwa "mám dva domy") nebo slovesa utjaña (např. pä utax utjituwa "mám dva domy", sufix -itu vyjadřuje shodu v osobě s podmětem (3) a předmětem (1)). Navíc lze ve funkci predikátu použít přímo posesora: pä utax nayankiwa "dva domy (jsou) moje", sufix -nk(a) je odvozen z lokativu a verbalizuje).

Posesivní sufixy:

Příklady sufixů pro slovesný způsob:

U číslovek ajmarština dříve používala pětkovou soustavu (jako např. grónština, podle počtu prstů na ruce), většina číslovek ale byla později nahrazena výpůjčkami z kečujštiny. Původní systém se zachoval např. ve slovech paqallqu "sedm" (doslova: "dva-pět") a kimsaqallqu "osm" (doslova: "tři-pět").

Topik-fokus
Aktuální větné členění se v ajmarštině povinně vyjadřuje sufixy -xa (téma) a -wa (réma). Sufix -wa má nulový alomorf u slov v akuzativu, nejedná-li se o poslední slovo věty (qut saräxa vs. saräx qutwa "půjdu k jezeru"). Slovosled jmenných frází je dán pevně, na úrovni klauze je ale volný (převládá SOV). Přívlastek a příslovečné určení (např. lokativní fráze) se vyjadřují odlišně, např. věta muž v domě spal se přeloží buď utankir chachax ikiwa nebo utanx chachax ikiwa (v prvním případě závisí utan(a) "v domě" na podmětu, v druhém případě na slovese).

Porovnání s kečujštinou
Ajmarština sdílí s kečujštinou více než 20 % slovní zásoby, strukturu gramatiky a také mnoho sufixů. Většina jazykovědců se přesto přiklání k názoru, že se jedná o výsledek jazykového kontaktu, tedy že oba jazyky nejsou blíže geneticky příbuzné. Zde je přehled některých rozdílů:

 pořadí sufixů je v ajmarštině "plurál-posesor", v kečujštině naopak. V ajmarských dialektech sousedících s kečujšinou je pořadí opačné, tedy např. ajm. uta-naka-ja "moje domy" vs. dial. (a kečua) uta-ja-naka,

 ajmarština nemá zvláštní sloveso "být", pouze derivační sufixy -nka, s lokativním nebo posesivním významem, a -: (prodloužení samohlásky, psáno " ¨ "), jako spona, např. utajankta "jsem ve svém domě", jumankiwa "to je tvoje", Wuliwyankirïta "jsi z Bolívie" apod.,

 předmět (i předmětový infinitiv) a cíl pohybu má v kečujštině sufix akuzativu -ta, v ajmarštině odpadá koncová samohláska slovního tvaru (před nezávislými sufixy), např. manq'añ munta "chci jíst" (keč. mikhuy-ta munani), kuna-s(a) "co (podmět)" vs. kun-s(a) "co (předmět)" (keč. ima-taq vs. ima-ta-taq),

 relativní a doplňkové klauze v ajmarštině nevyjadřují (na rozdíl od kečujštiny a ajmarských finitních sloves) osobu předmětu u přechodných sloves, tj. např. uñja-taja může znamenat "vida/vidouc(e) tebe", "vida/vidouc(e) jeho/ji" atd. Finitní formy mají různé sufixy pro každou kombinaci osoby podmětu a předmětu.

Catholic Social Teaching within the arena of Justice Studies
Justice Studies investigates the many intersecting forms of injustice which are built into social life and public policies. These may include but are not limited to injustices based on:
abilities, and
legal status - all with local and global reach
This guide provides information from a Catholic Social Justice perspective. It contains resources that will help you begin to investigate justice theories, explanations for injustices and inequalities, and solutions for restoring and transforming justice at all levels. However, as you conduct your research, keep in mind that, on a broader level, justice studies is an inclusive discipline that can be approached from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Depending upon your topic, you may benefit from exploring additional topics in moral theology, Christian ethics, legal studies, law, sociology, political science, anthropology, or philosophy.

Modern papal teachings organized by Papacy and major social issues.
What is Catholic Social Teaching?
Why do we study Catholic Social Teaching? Catholic Social Teaching corresponds to one of the three "Constitutive Elements of Church"
Scripture -- hearing the Good News WORD
Sacraments -- worship, prayer life, etc. WORSHIP
Social Mission -- action for social justice WORLD
In his Encyclical, Caritas in Veritate, Pope Benedict stresses the basis of the Church's Social Teachings and its relation to faith, reason, and charity in action:
This dynamic of charity received and given is what gives rise to the Church's social teaching, which is caritas in veritate in re sociali: the proclamation of the truth of Christ's love in society. This doctrine is a service to charity, but its locus is truth. Truth preserves and expresses charity's power to liberate in the ever-changing events of history. It is at the same time the truth of faith and of reason, both in the distinction and also in the convergence of those two cognitive fields. Development, social well-being, the search for a satisfactory solution to the grave socio-economic problems besetting humanity, all need this truth. (Para 5)
"Caritas in veritate" is the principle around which the Church's social doctrine turns, a principle that takes on practical form in the criteria that govern moral action. I would like to consider two of these in particular, of special relevance to the commitment to development in an increasingly globalized society: justice and the common good. (Para 6)
How is Catholic Social Teaching related to the history of the Church? Is it just an addition to Church teachings from the Second Vatican Council?
While there has been a growing emphasis on this third element of the Church since Vatican Council II, the social mission of the Church has deep biblical and magisterial roots. Vatican II re-animated the social mission of the early church.
The following are excerpts from the U.S. Bishops' findings in "Sharing Catholic Social Teaching: Challenges and Directions" where they reflect on the need to re-emphasize social teaching in Catholic education in general and in the life of Catholics in particular:
Catholic social teaching is a central and essential element of our faith. Its roots are in the Hebrew prophets who announced God's special love for the poor and called God's people to a covenant of love and justice. It is a teaching founded on the life and words of Jesus Christ, who came "to bring glad tidings to the poor . . . liberty to captives . . . recovery of sight to the blind"(Lk 4:18-19), and who identified himself with "the least of these," the hungry and the stranger (cf. Mt 25:45). Catholic social teaching is built on a commitment to the poor. This commitment arises from our experiences of Christ in the Eucharist...
Catholic social teaching emerges from the truth of what God has revealed to us about himself. We believe in the triune God whose very nature is communal and social. God the Father sends his only Son Jesus Christ and shares the Holy Spirit as his gift of love. God reveals himself to us as one who is not alone, but rather as one who is relational, one who is Trinity. Therefore, we who are made in God's image share this communal, social nature. We are called to reach out and to build relationships of love and justice.
Catholic social teaching is based on and inseparable from our understanding of human life and human dignity. Every human being is created in the image of God and redeemed by Jesus Christ and therefore is invaluable and worthy of respect as a member of the human family. Every person, from the moment of conception to natural death, has inherent dignity and a right to life consistent with that dignity. Human dignity comes from God, not from any human quality or accomplishment.

Vatican Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development
The Dicastery promotes the integral development of the person in light of the Gospel and in line with the Social Doctrine of the Church. It dedicates particular attention to taking care of the goods of justice, peace and the safeguarding of Creation, as well as issues regarding disarmament, human rights, human mobility, health, charitable works, expressing the concern and attention of the Pope towards a humanity that suffers, among whom are the needy, the ill and the excluded. In addition, the Dicastery follows issues regarding the necessities of those who are forced to abandon their own countries or those who are without one, the marginalized, the victims of armed conflicts and natural disasters, prisoners, the unemployed and victims of contemporary forms of slavery and torture and other people whose dignity is at risk.
The Dicastery promotes its activities by means of a network of interactions that involve local Churches, Episcopal Conferences, the other organs of the Roman Curia, the international organizations (both Catholic and non-Catholic), the relations with governments and supranational organizations.
The entire Dicastery is divided into four operational Areas or Sections: Management; Research and Study; Pastoral Works and Diakonia; Migrants and Refugees. All the areas cooperate towards reaching the goals of the Dicastery in the fields of the Margins of Humanity, Safeguarding Creation, Faith and Integral Development.
Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development
The Vatican announced the creation of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development (Dicasterium ad integram humanam progressionem fovendam in Latin) on 31 August 2016 and it became effective 1 January 2017. Cardinal Peter K. A. Turkson was named its first prefect.
Catholic Social Justice Themes
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops identifies 7 themes that lie at the heart of Catholic Social tradition:
1. Life and Dignity of the Human Person -- "The Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society."
2. Call to Family, Community, and Participation -- "The person is not only sacred but also social. How we organize our society in economics and politics, in law and policy directly affects human dignity and the capacity of individuals to grow in community."
3. Rights and Responsibilities -- "The Catholic tradition teaches that human dignity can be protected and a healthy community can be achieved only if human rights are protected and responsibilities met."
4. Option for the Poor and Vulnerable -- "A basic moral test is how our most vulnerable members are faring."
5. The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers -- "The economy must serve people, not the other way around. Work is more than a way to make a living; it is a form of continuing participation in God's creation."
6. Solidarity -- "We are one human family whatever our national, racial, ethnic, economic, and ideological differences. We are our brothers' and sisters' keepers, whatever they may be."
7. Care for God's Creation -- "We show our respect for the Creator by our stewardship of creation. Care for the earth is not just an Earth Day slogan."

Rodowo (od 1 I 1960 Prabuty) – dawna gromada, czyli najmniejsza jednostka podziału terytorialnego Polskiej Rzeczypospolitej Ludowej w latach 1954–1972.

Gromady, z gromadzkimi radami narodowymi (GRN) jako organami władzy najniższego stopnia na wsi, funkcjonowały od reformy reorganizującej administrację wiejską przeprowadzonej jesienią 1954 do momentu ich zniesienia z dniem 1 stycznia 1973, tym samym wypierając organizację gminną w latach 1954–1972.

Gromadę Rodowo z siedzibą GRN w Rodowie utworzono – jako jedną z 8759 gromad na obszarze Polski – w powiecie suskim w woj. olsztyńskim na mocy uchwały nr 26 WRN w Olsztynie z dnia 4 października 1954. W skład jednostki weszły obszary dotychczasowych gromad Gdakowo, Gorowychy i Rodowo ze zniesionej gminy Gdakowo w tymże powiecie. Dla gromady ustalono 11 członków gromadzkiej rady narodowej.

1 stycznia 1959 powiat suski przemianowano na powiat iławski.

Gromadę zniesiono 1 stycznia 1960 w związku z przeniesieniem siedziby GRN z Rodowa do miasta Prabut i zmianą nazwy jednostki na gromada Prabuty.

6 - Criminal Law
Part 2 - Crimes under the Revised Penal Code
A. Crimes against national security and laws of nations
CHAPTER 1: CRIMES AGAINST NATIONAL SECURITY
SECTION 1 – TREASON AND ESPIONAGE
1. Treason
a. CONCEPT
Art. 114. Treason – Any Filipino citizen who levies war against the Philippines or adheres to her enemies, giving them aid or comfort within the Philippines or elsewhere, shall be punished by reclusion perpetua to death and shall pay a fine not to exceed Four million pesos (₱4,000,000).
No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two (2) witnesses at least to the same overt act or on confession of the accused in open court.
Likewise, an alien, residing in the Philippines, who commits act of treason as defined in paragraph 1 of this article shall be punished by reclusion temporal to death and shall pay a fine not to exceed Four million pesos (₱4,000,000). (Act No. 3815, Revised Penal Code)
1st Mode
1) There is war;
2) The offender owes allegiance to the Government of the Philippines (for resident aliens: temporary allegiance); and,
3) He levied war against the Philippine Government.
2nd Mode
3) He adheres to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort within the country or elsehwere.
1) A war crime
Treason is a war crime. It is not an all-time offense. It cannot be committed in peace time. While there is peace, there are no traitors. Treason may be incubated when peace reigns. Treasonable acts may actually be perpetrated during peace, but there are no traitors until war has started. . (J. Perfecto, Concurring Opinion in Laurel v. Misa, supra.)
2) Allegiance; Resident alien's temporary allegiance
An alien while domiciled in a country owes it a temporary allegiance, which is continuous during his residence. (J. Perfecto, Concurring Opinion in Laurel v. Misa, En Banc, G.R. No. L-409, 30 January 1947, citing Carlisle vs. United States, 83 U.S. [16 Wall.], 147, 154; 21 Law ed., 426)
3) The 2 modes of committing treason
1) Levying war against the Philippine Government; or,
2) Adhering to the enemies, giving them aid or comfort within the country or elsewhere.
a) Levying war
The acts of violence committed by an armed body of men with the purpose of overthrowing the Government is levying ware against the Government and is thus treason, whether it was done by ten men or ten thousand. (United States v. Lagnason, En Banc, G.R. No. 1582, 28 March 1904, citing United States v. Hanway, 2 Wall., jr., 139; 26 Fed. Cases, 105)
cf. REBELLION: Treason via levying war is for the intent of helping an external foreign enemy. Otherwise, it is rebellion.
1) While the evidence does not show that appellant-accused had himself laid hands on either Valdez or De la Rosa, there is no denying the fact that he was present when they were maltreated, that he took active part in the investigation, and that it was he who had Valdez and De la Rosa apprehended and detained under guard in the house of Juan Fausto. These facts were established by the combined declaration of Valdez and De la Rosa, who testified to the same overt acts which took place before they were separated for further investigation. In addition there is also proof of appellant's adherence to the enemy, for he had been seen armed and dressed in Japanese military uniform and to be among those who surrounded and guarded the guerrillas when the latter surrendered in mass in 1943. (People v. Bernardino, G.R. No. L-3607, 27 August 1953)
b) Adhering to the enemies, giving aid or comfort
Enemy – means a foreign enemy and does not include a rebel. United States v. Lagnason, supra.)
1) The mere fact of having joined a Makapili organization is evidence of both adherence to the enemy and giving him aid and comfort. Unless forced upon one against his will, membership in the Makapili organization imports treasonable intent, considering the purposes for which the organization was created, which, according to the evidence, were "to accomplish the fulfillment of the obligations assumed by the Philippines in the Pact of Alliance with the Empire of Japan;" "to shed blood and sacrifice the lives of our people in order to eradicate Anglo-Saxon influence in East Asia;" "to collaborate unreservedly and unstintedly with the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy in the Philippines;" and "to fight the common enemies."
2) Commandeering of women to satisfy the lust of Japanese officers or men or to enliven the entertainment held in their honor was not treason even though the women and the entertainment helped to make life more pleasant for the enemies and boost their spirit; he was not guilty any more than the women themselves would have been if they voluntarily and willingly had surrendered their bodies or organized the entertainment. Sexual and social relations with the Japanese did not directly and materially tend to improve their war efforts or to weaken the power of the United State. The acts herein charged were not, by fair implication, calculated to strengthen the Japanese Empire or its army or to cripple the defense and resistance of the other side. Whatever favorable effect the defendant's collaboration with the Japanese might have in their prosecution of the war was trivial, imperceptible, and unintentional. Intent of disloyalty is a vital ingredient in the crime of treason, which, in the absence of admission, may be gathered from the nature and circumstances of each particular case. (People v. Perez, En Banc, G.R. No. L-856, 18 April 1949)
b. TWO-WITNESS RULE
GENERAL RULE: No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses at least to the same overt act or on confession of the accused in open court. (Paragraph 2, Article 114, Revised Penal Code)
EXCEPTION: Adherence, unlike overt acts, need not be proved by the oaths of two witnesses. Criminal intent and knowledge may be gathered from the testimony of one witness, or from the nature of the act itself, or from the circumstances surrounding the act. (People v. Adriano, En Banc, G.R. No. L-477, 30 June 1947)
c. CONTINUING CRIME
The crime of treason may be committed by executing, either a single, or several intentional overt acts, different or similar but distinct, and for that reason it may be called or considered a continuous offense. A person who commits treason is not criminally responsible for as many crimes of treason as overt acts he has intentionally committed to aid the enemy. All overt acts he has done or might have done for that purpose constitute but a single offense. (Guinto v. Veluz, En Banc, G.R. No. L-980, 21 December 1946)
d. NO COMPLEX CRIME FOR TREASON
In the nature of things, the giving of aid and comfort can only be accomplished by some kind of action. Its very nature partakes of a deed or physical activity as opposed to a mental operation. This deed or physical activity may be, and often is, in itself a criminal offense under another penal statute or provision. Even so, when the deed is charged as an element of treason it becomes identified with the latter crime and can not be the subject of a separate punishment, or used in combination with treason to increase the penalty as article 48 of the Revised Penal Code provides. (People v. Prieto, En Banc, G.R. No. L-399, 29 January 1948)
2. Conspiracy to commit treason
Art. 115. Conspiracy and proposal to commit treason; Penalty – The conspiracy or proposal to commit the crime of treason shall be punished respectively, by prisión mayor and a fine not exceeding Two million pesos (₱2,000,000), and prisión correccional and a fire not exceeding One million pesos (₱1,000,000). (Act No. 3815, Revised Penal Code)
1) There is war; and,
2) The offender conspired to commit the crime of treason

These are just some of the awesome features of this little genius. Apart from that, this bag is made to be extremely durable, the spinner wheels are directly connected to the frame which means they are less likely to break off and it is water, UV and abrasion resistant.
But wait, what are the downsides?
When using the compression straps for the dirty laundry department make sure not to overload it, as the buckles could then break under the pressure. You'll still be able to use the laundry department, but won't be able to use the compression part of it, which is a big help otherwise. So take it easy on it.
Not really a massive downside, but it could be lighter. It is not too heavy, but compared to some other carry on bags the same size, it is just a bit heavier.
And of course, if you're not into heavy organising your luggage with plenty of dedicated pockets, this might not be for you either.
Yes, this suitcase comes with a bigger prize tag, but considering all the extra gadgets and its durability make it a good investment for the organised frequent flyer.
So if you want a bag that is going to last a long time, buy this one! Check Price on Amazon.
One of the most important features on this medium-sized spinner suitcase is its sturdiness. When you read through the customer reviews, this will always be one of the main points. Yes, it gets scuffs and scratches when treated very roughly, but it doesn't break and will protect your packed items due to its 100% polycarbonate construction on an aluminum frame.
Something noteable about this luggage is that it doesn't have any exterior zippers, which makes it extra safe for your valuable belongings.
Other features include: four dual wheels, integrated TSA lock, and retractable handle, and not to forget, it comes at a very affordable price! This spinner is also available in 21″ and 30″ (different prices apply).
When trying to find negatives for this luggage, there aren't many that are obvious. One minor complaint would be the internal straps that are supposed to keep the luggage in check. If overloaded, they won't be able to hold all of your belongings where they're supposed to stay.
Another point is the weight for this item. At 12.3 lbs it is definitely on the heavier side, but due to its four dual spinner wheels it is still very easy to manouvre around the airport.
Be careful not to overpack this piece of luggage as it might make it hard to close the latch properly.
Also check out the "Frequently bought together" area under the product description.
As Travelpro states on their page, the Travelpro Platinum Magna 2 series is the epitome of style. Customer reviews many times state that the Travelpro is their Go To luggage, especially for business travel.
The series is indeed perfect for business travel as it is luxury performance luggage. It features four dual self-aligning magnetic wheels going 360 degrees, which means they are responsive, moving in the direction you want the bag to move; they are automatically going straight in any direction. The biggest size available, but still slides with zero effort.
Expandable up to an additional 2 inches makes sure you can fit everything in. Durable softside design, using ballistic nylon accented by stylish leather. It also features a suiter (which can be removed if not needed, freeing up extra weight of about 2.7lbs), which ensures wrinkle-free packing.
Comes with lifetime comprehensive warranty. These are just some of the many positive points of this excellent piece of luggage. We could easily tell you a lot more details, but these are the main points that have convinced us of the quality and usability.
One positive point that can also be seen as a negative is the suitcase's wheels, which will always roll by themselves. This means, even at this size it is easy to direct, but it also needs to be attended to at all times so it won't run away from you. This is especially to be remembered when you are walking down slopes.
The weight could also be seen as a minor negative point, as it is 11.3 lbs. Considering the size of the suitcase though and seeing as it is a hard side, it is still within a normal range.
If you like Travelpro and are looking for a big and expandable spinner, but don't want to spend as much money, the Travelpro Maxlite is the next best option for you (after the Travelpro Platinum Magna 2).
This softside spinner is affordable, yet comes with the look, durability and overall quality of more expensive suitcases, when treated nicely.
This suitcase is ultralight and offers loads of room! You seem to be able to always fit another item in.
Insides and outsides are made of water repellent coating. Reviews tell us that even kids are able to move this bigger sized spinner suitcase with ease due to the 360 degree wheels.
Although it seems effortless to move the suitcase on normal floors, carpeted floors might make it a bit harder. But, as it is a lightweight, even this shouldn't be too hard.
There have been some reports on the durability of the wheels though, so if you are interested in this model, take it easy and don't force the luggage to avoid the wheels to break off.
As it is a softside it tends to tear or rip when handled roughly. If this is something that happens after you checked the luggage, make sure to claim it with the airline to get it repaired and/or replaced.
This spinner suitcase is one of Amazon's top sellers. With more than five hundred customer reviews amounting to an average customer review of 4 out of 5 stars, this is a good affordable suitcase set from a trusted brand.
The three suitcases are easily stored within each other (nesting). They feature convenient zipper compartments, are easily moved even when fully packed and have sturdy handles.
At this price, this is the absolute best option for a spinner suitcase set you can buy. Be aware though that some customers have mentioned problems with zippers and broken wheels.
Please also be aware that the sizing might not include wheels and handle (as it sometimes happens with spinner suitcases). See at top of this product description to find sizes including wheels and handle as well. The smallest size is not actually small enough to be used as a carry-on.
If you do run into problems with this luggage set, keep in mind that it comes with a 10-year limited global warranty.
Overall, this luggage set is very popular, affordable, a relative lightweight that is easy to handle.
I hope this article helped you to find the right spinner suitcase. Let me know if have bought any of these and what your experience was or whether you thought another item should make the list and why.
Please comment below and I'll be sure to get back to you asap.
Thank you for such quick and wonderful reviews about the suitcases. It removes the stress factor when looking for the right one. I definitely know that this will be my go-to site for purchasing my next suitcase! Keep up the great work!
thanks for putting together this very well written guide. As a traveller, I really like your helpful reviews! The Samsonite looks really cool (like a spaceship 🙂 ) and quite sturdy, I think I'm gonna get this one for our next trip, as my old, cheap one just broke.
I'll also need to get a good suitcase for my 3 year old son as well. Do you have any suggestions for me on this one?
You are welcome! Yeah, I like the Samsonite one as well. It's definitely one you'll find easily on the luggage belt.
I'll be doing a review on kids luggage soon. Just check back and I'll be sure to include something for you. In the mean time check out my other post https://bagsandsuitcases.com/what-is-the-best-luggage-for-kids-5-things-you-need-to-know to get an idea on what you might need/want.
I love the carry on suitcase, the fact that its small and durable suits me, i hate big suitcase, but I like taking alot of clothes with me. I thought it was a bit expensive at first but then you state it has a integrated air valve which compresses your clothing so you can fit more in, how handy!
Yes, that's true, when you first look at the Genius Pack, it may seem a bit pricey, but it's sooo worth it because of all the extra gimmicks. And I think it'll last for a long time too.
I like the suitcases with two wheels instead of four. Dealing with fewer wheels just fits my personality, but it is good to read that these spinner ones are durable. Durability is essential in buying a suitcase.
Love it! Especially liking the Genius Pack with all its extras for easy organizing. And I like the look of the Samsonite Cruisair too! Next I would love to see a review on the suitcase that you can sit on and it motors around!
Thanks for sharing all the spinner reviews, I will use this for my next purchase. Lovely site!
You know one thing my wife and I never got off of our wedding registry was the luggage we registered for. Thanks for comparing these different suitcases. The 22″ Genius Pack is very intriguing. I didn't know they were making suitcases with air valves now. Is that common? Does it help make a decent difference as far as lightening the weight of the suitcase? Thanks again for the info!
Hi. I really appreciate your post. I'm thinking about buying a set that's affordable and seeing that so many other people have bought the At Pops Plus really helps with my decision. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
I love the selection you have done of spinner suit cases. I have to travel a lot and have had some experience buying suitcases. So I have esteemed many of your recommendations. You have surely traveled more than me and your suggestions are very helpful.
Of all the options you describe here, the one that makes me click is the Checked 26″ Samsonite Cruisair.
I like the 29 Travelpro Maxlite for its simple design and its lots of space to accommodate several needs of a traveller.
Also like the water repellent coating of the suitcase this makes it suitable for all kinds of weather conditions. What more does someone need in a suitcase? Apart from maybe a carry on as well as a checked one.

Dynamic teaching duo
A mother and daughter both work at Catholic schools in Portland
Diane and Christina Salvitelli are mother-daughter Catholic school teachers.
Diane and Christina Salvitelli are mother and daughter Catholic educators, although Diane isn't sure how that happened. "Christina's wanted to teach since she was a preschooler," Diane says. "I didn't encourage or discourage."
Christina says she was 5 years old when she decided on being a teacher, and it sounds as though she came to that decision for much the same reason her mom did.
Diane didn't actually know that she wanted to be a teacher that early in her life, but she did know that she wanted to work with children. Diane was a assistant at Our Lady of Sorrows for seven years and has been an assistant at the Madeleine for nine years.
Knowing exactly what she wanted to do has allowed Christina to "move quick," as she puts it. At 23, she's a physical education teacher at Holy Cross School in North Portland.
She's already got eight years experience working in Catholic schools because she began working in the afterschool care program at the Madeleine when she was a high school junior. She loved the work and by her senior year in college was helping to train new employees. She has substitute taught in archdiocesan schools and did her student teaching — with the third grade class — at Holy Cross.
She's also receiving her master's degree in educational leadership this month from Concordia.
Both women love Catholic schools. "There's a sense of community in Catholic schools," says Christina. "Everybody knows everybody — it's one big family."
Christina's was the last eighth grade class to graduate from Our Lady of Sorrows, a Catholic school closure that still makes her sad.
"I grew up in a Catholic school. I feel more comfortable there," says Diane. "The Madeleine feels like my second home."
Diane Salvitelli says she knew another mother-daughter pair of Catholic educators, but then that mother retired and the daughter decided to stay at home to raise her children.
The Salvitellis may be the only pair in the archdiocese.
