I believe that Lighting also has cantilevered shocks. A friend of mine has a Lighting and it came with cantilever's. Look on the passenger side factory stub frame rail, there might be a number or some letters. My friend's car has LRC welded there, which is Lighting Race Cars or Racing Chassis (whatever).
I just thought of something......its been a while since I looked and his car and I remember helping him figure out what brand it was......maybe it was a Larson because for some reason I think it said WLR or WLRC instead of LRC.......can't remember. Maybe someone on here has one of these cars and can clear that up.
Jet was offering the cantilevered shock set up at one time also.
That may be what your looking at. They came out of Arkansas.


BACKGROUND: The current project undertook a province-wide survey and environmental scan of educational opportunities available to future health care providers on the topic of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women. METHODS: A team of experts identified university and college programs in Ontario, Canada as potential providers of IPV education to students in health care professions at the undergraduate and post-graduate levels. A telephone survey with contacts representing these programs was conducted between October 2005 and March 2006. The survey asked whether IPV-specific education was provided to learners, and if so, how and by whom. RESULTS: In total, 222 eligible programs in dentistry, medicine, nursing and other allied health professions were surveyed, and 95% (212/222) of programs responded. Of these, 57% reported offering some form of IPV-specific education, with undergraduate nursing (83%) and allied health (82%) programs having the highest rates. Fewer than half of undergraduate medical (43%) and dentistry (46%) programs offered IPV content. Postgraduate programs ranged from no IPV content provision (dentistry) to 41% offering content (nursing). CONCLUSION: Significant variability exists across program areas regarding the methods for IPV education, its delivery and evaluation. The results of this project highlight that expectations for an active and consistent response by health care professionals to women experiencing the effects of violence may not match the realities of professional preparation.

5 Tips for Nailing Your Book Pitch
It probably wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that at some point in time, each and every one of us has thought, "I should write a book". Maybe it comes from a place of creativity, or from a deep-seated desire to share your ideas with the world, or even a dying wish to leave a legacy through written word.
Whatever the case, the reality is that not every book idea comes to fruition. So before you set off on your quest to become the next J.K. Rowling or Stephen King, you might want to run your idea by a few experts.
That is exactly what happened Saturday, Nov 8 at Canzine West 2014's 1-2 Punch Book Pitch session. Hopeful authors stood up in front of an audience of peers and a panel of experts and pitched their book ideas. Through panel feedback the authors gained helpful insights to help them achieve their publishing dreams.
Offering up their advice were Alison Lang, writer, and editor for Broken Pencil; Timothy Taylor, novelist, journalist, and Assistant Professor at the UBC Creative Writing Program; and Carrellin Brooks, author and editor, and the BC/Yukon representative on the National Council of the Writers' Union of Canada.
The audience heard pitches from multiple authors on books ranging from a political science fiction novel, to a graphic novel on the topic of environmental awareness, to a non-fiction exploration of entrepreneurship's growing role in modern society. While each book received specific feedback there were many comments and points made that can be applied to every book pitch.
Here is a list of the top 5 tips for pitching a book:
Don't get caught up in the details.
Your protagonist happens to have a tattoo of Tinkerbelle on his right bicep; he's allergic to dogs and drinks 5 cups of coffee every day. Are any of these details relevant to the story? If the answer is no, then don't mention them during the pitch. Stick to the main points of your book giving a high-level overview of its narrative. Offer hooks and suspenseful or intriguing details to leave your audience wanting to know more.
Be clear about what kind of book it is.
Is it fiction or non-fiction? A memoir? A thriller? A children's book? Stating the format and genre of the book clearly and concisely in the opening of your pitch helps your audience get into the right mindset for your book and will help your ideas come across more clearly.
Practice makes perfect.
You never know when your 30 seconds in an elevator with a publisher might come along, so you'll want to be prepared. Practise your pitch over and over again, in front of friends and family, fellow writers and anyone in the industry who you can get to listen. The more you practice, the easier it will become, so when you do bump into that editor or publisher you can wow them in 30 seconds flat.
Be confident.
You're trying to sell your idea here, so cut out words like "kind of", "maybe", "sort of", and "almost" whenever possible. You want to paint as clear a picture as possible for your audience, and saying, "It's kind of a romance but also sort of science fiction" is nowhere near as clear as "It's a sci-fi romance".
Be prepared to answer tough questions.
Book pitches might seem like a one-sided conversation, but really they're not. If you capture the interest of an editor or publisher, they'll likely have some tough questions for you about the book, your background and platform as an author, any previous books you've published. Be prepared to answer these questions confidently, they could make or break your book's chances of being published

Home Pakistan Mentally Ill Death Row Prisoner Khizar Hayat Passes Away
Mentally Ill Death Row Prisoner Khizar Hayat Passes Away
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the demise of Khizar Hayat, a mentally ill prisoner who spent the last 16 years of his life on death row waiting for justice. He is survived by four children and his mother.
Khizar, 56, passed away on the night of March 21 at Jinnah Hospital Lahore. He was hospitalized in critical condition when he stopped taking any food or medication. The jail authorities reported him to be "severely anaemic and hypotensive". He was shifted on a feeding tube by the doctors. His condition kept deteriorating and he fell unconscious during his final hours.
Just two months ago, Khizar's life was spared after the former chief justice Saqib Nisar suspended his 4th execution warrant on January 14th. The suspension came in the wake of a public campaign propelled by the civil society, psychiatrists, artists, and journalists highlighting the plight of the mentally ill death row prisoner online and in the media. UN experts had also urged the government to halt the execution.
A two-member bench referred Khizar's case to a larger bench of Supreme Court of Pakistan currently hearing the cases of two other schizophrenic death row prisoners Imdad Ali and Kanizan Bibi. This case is likely to set a precedent for mentally ill death row prisoners in Pakistan. Unfortunately, Khizar passed away before any progress could be made in this case. His mercy petition also remained pending before the President of Pakistan, who has the ultimate authority to pardon death row prisoners under Article 45 of the Constitution.
Khizar was first diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia by jail authorities in 2008. His mental health record consistently referred to his delusions, psychosis, and his mental illness, and showed that he has been prescribed powerful anti-psychotic medication. The conditions of his incarceration made his mental illness progressively worse.
Khizar spent the last six years alone in his cell in the jail hospital, effectively living in solitary confinement, despite the fact that such punishment for the mentally ill is prohibited under Pakistani law; not even for the most heinous offences. In his final years, Khizar lost all awareness of his surroundings and did not know where he was.
Pakistan has signed international treaties, such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which prohibits the execution of mentally ill prisoners. Islamic jurisprudence also disallows the death penalty for the mentally ill.
Yet, mentally ill defendants repeatedly slip through the cracks in Pakistan's criminal justice system. The lack of mental health treatment and training in the criminal justice system, as well as in Pakistan generally, means that many individuals never even get diagnosed. In fact, for many indigent mentally ill defendants, their first contact with a mental health professional is in jail..
Executive Director Justice Project Pakistan, Sarah Belal adds "It is immensely tragic that Khizar Hayat left the world waiting for justice, having remained deprived of any adequate care for too long. Khizar's case is a shocking example of why mentally ill prisoners do not deserve the death penalty. They require proper attention and belong at mental health facilities, not strung up on the gallows in horrid confinements of the jails."

Bank of England expands money-printing programme to £200bn to fight downturn
The Bank of England has expanded its radical programme of printing money by a further £25bn today as the fight against the deepest downturn for decades is stepped up.
12:07PM GMT 05 Nov 2009
The unconventional plan, which is known as quantitative easing (QE) and was first adopted by the MPC in March, will now see the Bank buy a total of £200bn of UK government bonds, or gilts, and other assets from from financial institutions in the hope the money spent will be invested in the wider economy. Some economists expected the programme to be increased to £225bn.
Experts admit that it's hard to judge whether the policy is working, but with the economy still languishing in recession last quarter, most reckon it's worth expanding.
"The UK economy is still in the High Dependency Unit, but without QE it might have been in Intensive Care, or worse," said Stephen Boyle, head of economics at Royal Bank of Scotland. "The extension of the Bank's asset purchase scheme today reminds us that the risks of doing too little considerably outweigh the risks of doing too much."
The MPC also kept interest rates at the record low level of 0.5pc in an effort to keep money as cheap as possible. On Wednesday night, the US central bank, the Federal Reserve, opted to keep interest rates at between 0pc and 0.25pc and pledged to keep them "exceptionally low" for an extended period.
The increase means that the Bank would soon be holding bonds worth more than 15pc of Britain's entire economy in its balance sheet – unknown territory for any developed world central bank in modern history.

"It is a lot of money, but if it does restart the economy and gets it moving again then it's worth it," said George Buckley, an economist at Deutsche Bank. "It's very difficult to say if quantitative easing is working, but it is doing something."
The data from the UK economy had been mixed of late but the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) showed yesterday that the country's dominant services sector grew at the fastest pace in more than two years in October. The index climbed to 56.9 from 55.3 in September, where anything above 50 indicates growth, beating expectations of a more modest rise to 55.5. It was the highest since August 2007, and the survey's sixth consecutive month above 50.
The policy of QE has its critics who argue that it's stoking future inflation through injecting more money into the economy, and may also unnerve foreign investors. Others, such as Nouriel Roubini, argue that the very low level of interest rates in America is fuelling a fresh asset bubble as traders borrow cheaply in the US currency to invest for better returns elsewhere.
The MPC's decision comes the day before G20 finance ministers and central bankers gather in St Andrews, Scotland, for the final of three meetings hosted by the UK.
The two-day meeting is expected to provide more detail on how a framework for a strong, balanced and sustainable recovery would work. The framework was established in principle at the Pittsburgh summit of G20 leaders in September, but details have yet to be agreed.

The Wrangell Mountains are located in southeast Alaska, and are a northern extension of the Saint Elias Mountains. The high Wrangell peaks rise above an immense snowy wilderness, and average around 12,000 feet in elevation. The region is best known, however, for a few peaks which are considerably higher than average, including Mount Blackburn (16,390 ft.), the highest summit, and the neighboring volcanoes Mounts Sanford (16,237 ft.) and Wrangell (14,163 ft.). The Wrangells are considered technically to be the easiest major summits in Alaska, though they are serious mountains requiring long expeditionary approaches in often challenging weather.
Castle Peak - 10190 ft./3105 m.
Mount Blackburn - 16390 ft./4996 m.
Mount Drum - 12010 ft./3661 m.

Departing Jay Leno Is Currently Crushing Letterman and Kimmel in Ratings
Back in April, NBC executives announced that they would soon be replacing Jay Leno as the host of the Tonight Show. Just like it tried to do four years ago, the network will be handing the reigns of the show over to a younger, hipper personality, who happens to host Late Night. But unlike four years ago when the network disastrously removed Leno in favor of Conan O'Brien—and then later reinstated Leno—the denim-shirted comedian's ratings are as high as they have ever been, as the network prepares to move Jimmy Fallon into the hosting gig.
According to Nielsen, Leno's ratings in the key 18 to 49 viewer demographic are currently 43% higher than Letterman, and a whopping 75% higher than Jimmy Kimmel. Even if he's not exactly a critical favorite, if he's killing it in the ratings, why is he being taken off the air? As one NBC executive bluntly tells Newsweek, "I don't get it." (Warning, some of the other quotes in the story contain strong language.) If history tells us anything, it's that NBC programming executives know exactly what they're doing, and this will end well for all parties involved …

New clue to how lithium works in the brain
in Neuroscience
CAMBRIDGE, MA — Since the 1970s, U.S. doctors have prescribed lithium to treat patients with bipolar disorder. While the drug has a good success rate, scientists are still unsure exactly how it achieves its beneficial effects.
MIT biologists have now discovered a possible explanation for how lithium works. In a study of worms, the researchers identified a key protein that is inhibited by lithium, making the worms less active.
While these behavioral effects in worms can't be translated directly to humans, the results suggest a possible mechanism for lithium's effects on the brain, which the researchers believe is worth exploring further.
"How lithium acts on the brain has been this great mystery of psychopharmacology," says Joshua Meisel, an MIT postdoc and lead author of the study. "There are hypotheses, but nothing's been proven."
Dennis Kim, an associate professor of biology, is the senior author of the paper, which appears in the July 7 issue of Current Biology.
Mysterious effects
Lithium's ability to act as a tranquilizer for people suffering from mania and bipolar disorder was discovered in 1949 by the Australian psychiatrist John Cade, but the drug was not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration until 1970.
Lithium interacts with many proteins and other molecules in the brain, so it has been difficult for scientists to determine which of these interactions produce mood stabilization. Some of the hypothesized targets are an enzyme that produces inositol, a simple sugar involved in cell signaling, and an enzyme called GSK3, which inactivates other proteins. However, no studies have conclusively linked these targets to lithium's effects on bipolar patients.
The MIT team did not set out to study lithium but fell upon it while exploring interactions between Caenorhabditis elegans and its microbial environment. This worm has a simple nervous system consisting of 302 neurons, most of which occur in pairs.
In a paper published in 2014, Meisel and Kim discovered that a pair of neurons known as ASJ neurons are necessary for the worm's avoidance of harmful bacteria. Previous studies from other labs had shown that the ASJ neurons are also required for reawakening from a starvation-induced hibernation state. This reactivation, known as the dauer exit, occurs when food becomes more plentiful.
As a follow-up to that study, the researchers performed a genetic screen in which they looked for mutated genes that disrupt ASJ neurons. To their surprise, one of the genes implicated by this screen was one that codes for a protein called BPNT1, which was already known to be inhibited by lithium.
BPNT1 is a protein that removes phosphate groups from a compound known as PAP, a process that is critical to maintaining normal cell function.
When the researchers knocked out the gene for BPNT1, they found that the ASJ neurons entered a dormant state and the worms could no longer execute either avoidance behavior or the dauer exit. They also found the same behavioral effects in worms treated with lithium.
New hypothesis
The findings suggest that lithium treatment silences activity in neurons that rely on BPNT1, which Meisel and Kim found intriguing because many human brain cells also depend on this protein. In humans, PAP, which BPNT1 degrades, is usually found in neurons that secrete dopamine, epinephrine, or norepinephrine, which are all neurotransmitters that stimulate brain activity.
"We think that it's perfectly reasonable to add BPNT1 onto the list of hypotheses for how lithium is affecting the brain," Meisel says. "Silencing dopaminergic neurons I would think would make you less manic because of how dopamine affects the brain."
While Kim's lab focuses on worms, the researchers hope that other labs will test the new hypothesis in other animals.
"Establishing that this happens in C. elegans, by no means does it prove how lithium works in humans, but it provides a very solid experimental foundation for exploring a hypothesis that lithium might have therapeutic effects in specific neurons through inhibition of BPNT1," Kim says. "We hope that other groups that work on mammalian systems may be interested to explore this question further."
The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

It was he, after all, who was responsible for the sterile, stupid dance-pop on the Peas' 2001 breakthrough, Elephunk, and once the group hit paydirt there was no abandoning the formula.
That same formula persists on will.i.am's fourth solo effort, #willpower, which, if it's not obvious from the hashtagged title, finds him continuing his appropriation of every slightly tired zeitgeisty signifier he can get his hands on. The album is a looping diorama of celebrity fetishism and over-programmed music, languishing in the glow of its larger-than-life guest stars (Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, and Miley Cyrus all make an appearance) while regulating its instrumentation to the same over-polished synth presets and drumpad patterns that will.i.am's been dialing up for over a decade. Literally every track can be boiled down to a handful of catchphrases, a fuzzed-up club beat, and some sort of glitchy, mid-song breakdown. Hence the weakly pounding "Reach for the Stars," where a succession of feeble calls to arms climax in a perfunctory vocal choir that serves as a cheap method of grandiosity.
Elsewhere, #willpower awkwardly chases what its numerous producers (15, by my count) no doubt think are impending pop trends. The results are almost offensively insipid, such as the clumsy attempt at melding hip-hop with K-pop on "Gettin' Dumb." Splitting vocal duties between Black Eyed Peas alum apl.de.ap and South Korean mega-group 2NE1, the song can't even live up to the gloriously bizarre mishmash of parts it boasts, offering only a blend of Auto-Tuned pap and ridiculous lyrical sloganeering—which, with horribly inane lines like "Watch out for the dumb dumb," seems to push boundaries Fergie hasn't even crossed. By the time listeners are subjected to the Chris Brown-guesting "Let's Go" and the paint-by-numbers "Geekin'," the latter of which truly deserves an award in half-assery, the album has become a slog of pop clichés and self-absorbed preening. Undoubtedly crafted to be an easy listen, the overstuffed, lumbering, and joyless #willpower is quite the opposite.

Xerox—Yeah, Xerox—Has Found a Way to Bust Carpool Lane Cheaters
Author: Aarian MarshallAarian Marshall
Patrick T. Fallon/Getty Images
Joseph Averkamp collects stories about how people break the law. He keeps them in a Powerpoint presentation, dragging the grainy local news photos into the slides. There's the guy who stuffed a pile of wooden boards into a hoodie. The Washington man who buckled up next to a cardboard cutout of Dos Equis' "Most Interesting Man" mascot. Another one he could add, but hasn't yet: The dude who stuck a yuge picture of Donald Trump's face on the headrest of his passenger seat.
All attempts to trick the authorities and sneak into that highway VIP zone, the carpool lane.
Averkamp is Xerox's senior director for technology policy and strategy (yes, the copier company is in the transportation business), and he has a tool, first introduced in 2014, to bring those breaking the sanctity of the carpool lane to justice. This month, he has numbers to back it up—mostly.
Crime in the Fast Lane
Over the past three decades, agencies around the country, hoping to bust traffic, have turned to high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. Reserving less congested space for vehicles with multiple passengers encourages carpooling, or so the theory goes.
NY's So Pumped for Cash-Free Tolls, It's (Kinda) OK If You Don't Pay
This New Form of Parking Enforcement Sucks. Like, Actually Sucks
Cash-Strapped Towns Are Un-Paving Roads They Can't Afford to Fix
In some places, the lanes are open to electric vehicles, to encourage zero-emissions driving, or reserved for those who pay extra, to keep the city coffers stuffed. In transpo-speak, these are HOT—high occupancy toll—lanes.__ __
Yet, as anyone who's driven on a highway with an HOV lane knows, cheaters lurk behind the wheel. During a brief 2015 pilot program on a state highway, Xerox found nearly 12 percent of HOV users were lying liars. One stakeout in California nabbed 241 carpool fakers in a single day.
"Enforcement, especially if you have that occupancy component, is an important aspect," says Christopher Tomlinson, the executive director of Georgia's State Road and Tollway Authority. "Even if we have a low percentage of violators, it's not fair to those within the system." Six to eight percent of the drivers on his state's 16-mile tolled express road don't actually pay to be there.
Swindlers erode faith in the HOV lane, which can destroy the premium driving experience along with its goals of getting more cars off the road and reducing vehicle emissions. In the past, governments have depended on old-fashioned stakeouts and the naked eye to catch fraudsters. But new techniques are changing the state of the left-most lane.
Xerox's imaginatively named Vehicle Passenger Detection System uses two cameras, an illuminator, a video image processor, and a laser trigger. When a car speeds by at up to 100 mph (a different crime), the cameras capture its front and back, including the license plate.
Using geometric algorithms, the system determines whether there are enough people in the car to qualify for the HOV lane, and bust accordingly. "We tell it that that dog you see isn't an occupant, and the baby in a car seat is an occupant," says Averkamp. (Warning: If your unfortunate child looks more dog than baby, the system will have a hard time.)
The company says that during a three-day pilot last year, the system caught 78 HOV violators per hour on a stretch of California's I-5, with a 95 percent accuracy rate. That's a lot better than roadside observers equipped with only their eyes, who, according to Xerox, spot just 36 percent of violators on that stretch of road.
Images captured by the front and rear cameras of Xerox's Vehicle Passenger Detection System.
Because it's not perfectly accurate, Xerox recommends personnel manually inspect the images of the alleged rule-breakers before mailing a bill to the address on the vehicle's registration. The infrastructure will cost about the price of an electronic tolling system, says Xerox, but price is highly dependent on a municipality's needs. (For comparison's sake, Massachusetts is shelling out $130 million for one of those.) The system has been piloted in eight locations around the world, but has not been permanently installed yet.
Municipalities eager to purify their lanes have other high-tech options. On the 16-mile stretch of Georgia I-85 that uses HOT lanes, drivers who haven't paid via transponder can get photographed by a roving band of speed camera-equipped cop cars. The system there alerts police when the car hasn't paid, and it's the "license and registration" dance from there, which usually ends with a $150 fine.
Fighting Cheaters by Design
There's another way to discourage lane abusers from drifting into forbidden places: smart design. Research coordinated by the federal government's National Cooperative Highway Research Program finds it's harder to cheat when the special lanes are separated from general traffic by a physical, concrete barrier.
That eliminates the most tempting kind of cheating, the brief foray over the twin white lines: I know it's wrong, but I'll get right back to my lane—just after that bottleneck up ahead!
Okay, perhaps duh. But a barrier does more than repel swindlers, the researchers found. It made vehicles in the managed lanes move faster. "If you're driving on the managed lane and you see stop-and-go [traffic], you'll worry that someone will jump into your managed lane," says Yinhai Wang, a transportation engineer with the University of Washington who headed up the federal study. Drivers separated from the hoi polloi by a physical barrier feel safer going faster. Of course, concrete barriers cost money.
Tomlinson, the toll road director, says enforcement is worth the cost. When rule-abiding drivers see people ducking the system, they become disenchanted. When you're trying to convince people to do something vaguely unpleasant or inconvenient—like trading their solo commute for a carpool, or paying extra for privilege of moving faster—they're customers. Keep 'em happy.
And what makes the self-righteous carpooler happier than seeing that solo cheater brought to justice?

Glen Augustus Holness (1957–24 June 1991), otherwise known by his stage name Nitty Gritty, was a popular reggae singer. Born in the August Town section of Kingston, Jamaica, he was the second of eleven children born to religious parents.

Biography
Holness formed The Soulites in the early 1970s and recorded his first solo single in the early 1980s for producer Sugar Minott. He worked on the Zodiac sound system and recorded further singles, working with George Phang before moving on to King Jammy in 1985, with whom he had his breakthrough success with "Hog inna Minty", a Jamaican folk song. Nitty Gritty was the first to record the song and was an instant success. He enjoyed further successful singles produced by Jammy, and his debut album, Turbo Charged was released in 1986, as was the split album with King Kong, Musical Confrontation. He moved to live in London before relocating to New York City, where he continued to record but less frequently. Further albums followed with General Penitentiary (1987), Nitty Gritty (1988), and Jah in the Family (1989).

On 24 June 1991, he was shot dead in front of Super Power Record Shop in Brooklyn, New York at the age of 34, for which deejay Super Cat was initially suspected yet later cleared.

The Battle of Ball's Bluff began the morning of Oct. 21, 1861, with Union and Confederate forces evenly matched. The Confederates were more experienced in battlefield strategy, however. As the conflict continued, Southern troops forced the Union army back toward the bluff. The decisive blow came in the afternoon when Col. Edward D. Baker, the Union commander, was shot in the head and killed. His death spurred on the Confederate soldiers, and a Union retreat was sounded. Some Union soldiers escaped down a cart path, but the majority was forced down a steep and rocky 80-foot bluff. Soldiers who reached the Potomac River tried swimming to Harrision Island or escaped by boat or logs. Many drowned, weighed down by their clothes and ammunition. Others were shot by Confederate troops firing down from the top of the bluff. Still others were captured and marched into Leesburg.
Among the many wounded abandoned on the Virginia shore when Union forces retreated was a young first lieutenant in the 20th Massachusetts, Oliver Wendell Holmes. Although wounded several times during the war, he survived and became one of the most notable justices on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Since the 1950s, there has been periodic interest in reinterring the remains of this cemetery to Culpeper National Cemetery and disposing of the property. Public sentiment as well as congressional censure has blocked any such action.

Robert Trump, the younger brother of President Trump, dies. Trump releases heartfelt statement.
'He was not just my brother, he was my best friend'
Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
Robert Trump, the younger brother of President Donald Trump, died Saturday night. He was 71.
"It is with heavy heart I share that my wonderful brother, Robert, peacefully passed away tonight," the president wrote. "He was not just my brother, he was my best friend. He will be greatly missed, but we will meet again. His memory will live on in my heart forever. Robert, I love you. Rest in peace."
Robert's death came just 11 days before his 72nd birthday. The reason for his hospital stay was not made public.
Trump made the last minute decision to visit his brother at a New York hospital on Friday where Robert was reportedly "very ill."
After his visit, Trump told reporters, "Hopefully he'll be alright, but he's — he's pretty — he's having a hard time," CNN reported.
Earlier this summer, Robert spent more than a week in the ICU unit at New York City's Mt. Sinai hospital, Fox News reported. The reason for Robert's extensive hospital stay was not disclosed.
Robert was the youngest of the five Trump children and, like his older brother, spent his career working for the Trump Organization. However, unlike his older brother, Robert often stayed out of the public spotlight, especially in recent years, describing himself as "gainfully retired."
Robert, however, was recently thrust back into the national spotlight when he asked a court to stop the publication of a book by his niece, Mary Trump. The effort ultimately failed, and Mary's book was allowed to be published.

In the wake of the last couple of weeks (governmentally speaking) Confucius came to mind as I watched the government "close" and then "open" the way you might see a sign on a store. Yesterday we were closed for business, today we are open, tomorrow (a few months) – the sign may say closed again!
This country should be ashamed of not providing for our poor … and sadly, there are more than a few involved in the governing process who should be ashamed of the wealth they have accumulated and the wealthy they work "on behalf of" … at the expense of the poor and the hard working middle class!
And I refer to all the party members, especially those who come in with a private and personal agenda, related to power and money (greed); be they – Democrats – Republicans – Independents or other, consisting of every race, creed and religious belief. Absolute power does corrupt absolutely. And so does money! In fact in this country money speaks louder than anything!
It is a truth or should be understood that no country survives when it is at the expense and well-being of other humans. As in never! History proves this out. Why haven't we learned this yet?
My recommendations to my fellow Americans: Contact NOW your congressional leaders and members who the majority of you – "voted" for (If you didn't vote, then "by absentia" you may well have voted for the person you didn't want in office). And when you email or call, or snail mail to your legislative leaders … say "NO" to more closures. In the next few elections vote in more minorities, because the amazing truth here in this country is – the "minorities" are in the majority! So shouldn't we have representatives that actually represent us? Do the math!
Vote in those qualified, who will not only represent you (their constituents – which by law they are sworn to represent) but who also have the strength of character to stand up and represent you, not waffle and sit on the sidelines. Regardless of party, there comes a point when you're not just a Republican, Democrat or affiliated to some other group who "believes a certain way" you are AN AMERICAN! So start doing your job to strongly remind your elected representatives and Senators what they SHOULD BE DOING – THEIR JOB! Keeping our country free!
If our budgetary concerns don't get resolved (at least in a direction where all political parties are working together for a resolution) – then the ones who haven't been doing their job is YOU!
← Taking a Second Look!
Such a strong message, Penny.
I must agree with an Elephant, this is one of the most powerful pieces you have written. I love the last Confucius quote but particularly yours making a comparison to the game of pool 😉 I have often wondered, if we stripped away the labels, i.e. Democrat, Republican, and just focused on what we truly believed in our hearts, how different this world might look.
AnElephantCant comment on the internal affairs of another country.
But he admires and fully endorses your thoughts and your words.
As powerful a piece as you have ever written, my sweet Penny.
As one that was feeling the "work but you're not getting paid until this is resolved" part of it all….this was the 2nd round of furlough I had to face. First one I went 4 days with no pay (and will not be retroactive) and this time I became essential immediately but who knows when I was getting paid. Now I look ahead to 4 more months and wonder, will I have to deal with this all again?
NC was the first (maybe only) state to cut welfare and WIC benefits as the government shut down. I was so disappointed. I don't see this as only a Republican or Democrat issue…but all our elected officials let us down. What typically happens, when it is time for elections, people will quickly forget what they put us through. Also you have those that scream to get rid of everyone, but like their own officials so they stay.
Hi Anja, well I'm am glad you're back (for the time being) among the getting paid employees. I do like your thoughts about rearranging a lot of the decision making people, and I might add that a few more should began voicing their opinions and then backing them up with actions, so we might begin to see some real strength in our Congress. The merging of ideas, discussions on disagreements, and actually participating in the democratic process! That's what we all need to see right now!
Shame on me for chuckling at your quote.
I know…I can be immature sometimes. But – I can't help myself.
I've never been so angry at our elected officials as I am now.
That makes two of us, Alejandro! Absolutely totally in agreement with you!!!!
This wonderful, beautiful, free (for now) country WON'T survive if our elected representatives continue spending money they don't have. CAN"T continue borrowing money! One day the countries we are borrowing from will stop lending and demand payment. What then?
Budget needs to be balanced, focus needs to be placed on getting our economy moving again and on the creation of jobs. Full-time jobs!
Doing so will benefit all Americans.
Hi Sheila, thanks for your comments. So true. I wish more Americans would spend a little more time on learning about those they vote as their representatives, because it seems like right now, Those that have been voted in aren't getting a lot done! The focus needs to be as you said about getting our economy moving again, job creation and balancing the budget, but we'd better have a functioning (working together) government if we want those goals accomplished! Thanks friend for your wise comments! Much appreciated!
I bet if they had to spend the "closure" time with no money like the little people, then things would be different. Why didn't they say "we are closing so many people won't get paid, but we have enough. We'll cover your bills until we reopen" That wouldn't work though as it would mean that they would go without, and they couldn't have that.
As an outsider so to speak, and what we have watched over the last couple of weeks, the US government has acted deplorably. Throwing their toys out of their pram because they can't get their own way. I just hope for the sake of America and the rest of the world that this won't happen again.


This trend is particularly disturbing when we start to see students demanding (and ultimately getting) pieces that they have not developed the skill level to execute. The argument is usually one of two things: the need to expand one's dance vocabulary/capacity, and/or the need to present the new choreography in their respective cities because the organizers/audience are tired of seeing the same thing and want to see something different.
From the very beginning of my dance training, we were taught items according to our skill/experience level. And the system was such so that we initially learned the simpler repertoire items (Mangalacharain, Sthayee, Batu), and then with time we were taught the more advanced choreography in the repertoire. The main focus was to gradually expand our skill level and capabilities. And while we learned new items, we were also revising the older pieces we had learned earlier. If, on that rare occasion, we were taught something slightly more advanced than our skill level, the idea was that we would continue to practice and develop it before we actually performed it.
These days, it is not uncommon for a student to request an item (either from their teacher or in a workshop) that is beyond their capacity. And many a time, teachers will comply, some for fear of losing the student, others, for the financial benefit and others are just indifferent. Perhaps it may not even be such a big deal, others argue – what is the harm done? It is a very small thing to lose sleep over. But lets consider it: When the focus is only on learning new choreography, particularly within a limited time frame, much of the focus will be on remembering the sequence, leaving little time or any significant revision. As it is, the item has been taught/learned rather superficially. If the student hasn't devoted more time to seriously practice/revise the piece, and then teaches his/her students, that 'watering down' process has already begun – and then the piece is performed. And then they return to their teacher and expect to learn something new for the next time. Now repeat this scenario for someone who is learning something they aren't quite ready for. The decline of the art form starts here.
Odissi's beauty lies in the details. One the dancer has worked to develop the strength to sit in chauka and tribhangi and are able to seamlessly shift the weight to transition between the two positions; once they have finally understood the movement science, of where to move the torso according to the foot–then there is that whole other phase of learning – the finite details of proportion, of knowing just how much and when to move the head in accordance to the wrist or head (or both), to develop that simultaneous strength and softness. It takes TIME. And it takes PRACTICE. Many chase after items believing that it is the way to improve, to expand one's dance vocabulary – but that vocabulary is useless unless one has learned the alphabet and understood how to form words and sentences accordingly. Speaking from experience, my dance improved through constant revision. And this was something I continued to do throughout my dance career. The real essence of the dance was revealed to me during the process of revision, that was how the technique transformed into art. Many times we see a piece of choreography we like, and immediately it is something we want to learn because it is so beautiful. However, it is important to understand that the person performing the said choreography would have spent a long time learning and imbibing the art, and had developed the control and exactitude to do justice to the piece.
For teachers – it is really important to maintain that integrity and quality of the art form by teaching students what they are ready to learn, not by what they are willing to pay. Doing anything less is only a contribution to the erosion of the art form.
And for dancers – there is no need to hurry. This is an art form where you will always feel like you are work in progress. To do justice to the art, it is important to have that patience, discipline and focus to continue to evolve and to present it in its full beauty and essence.
