Six of the most talented female casino players
The traditional image of someone casino gaming in a film or on TV is usually a man, especially in period pieces from a time when women were thought to be temperamentally unsuited to games that required any critical thought or command of logic.
As time has passed, there are still more male players making headlines than women, but the shift towards equality has moved in the right direction in recent years.
As such there are a few female casino players that have generated the coverage they deserve, but among those that have managed to game their way through the glass ceiling there are a few notable characters. Here are six of the most talented female casino players.
1) Barbara Enright
In 1995, Barbara Enright was the first woman to win her way to the final table at the World Series of Poker. She had already won World Series Ladies Event bracelets in 1986 and 1994, but in 1995 she beat 180 other players to get to the final table.
She was the first woman to be inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2007 and the only player to be inducted into all three of the poker halls of fame, the other two being the Senior Poker Hall of Fame and the Women in Poker Hall of Fame. She is known as one of the world's leading ambassadors for the game.
2) Kirsten Bicknell
This Canadian professional poker player has made a name for herself on the international poker scene, but she began playing online during her freshman year of college. She first started playing as a way to afford to pay for university, and she was so committed that her nickname became 'The Ultimate Grinder'.
She played an estimated 7.5 million hands of poker over the course of two years, earning herself the title of 'Supernova Elite' on one poker site for the sheer number of games she had completed. She was the highest-ranked female player competing in live tournaments in 2017, especially after she won in the Five Diamond series, beating 147 other contestants to take the top spot.
By March 2021, Bicknell's estimated total winnings exceeded five million dollars, and she has carried on playing and earned herself more titles with her well-honed skills.
3) Kathy Liebert
As a veteran of the competitive poker scene, Kathy Liebert first made waves when she began playing in Colorado during the 1990s, but before long she was playing in Las Vegas and Los Angeles and attracting bigger crowds to watch her play. As of 2022, she has earned more than 6.6 million dollars just through live poker tournaments.
Some of the highlights of her career include:
Winning a million dollars at the PartyPoker Million Cruise
Winning the World Series of Poker bracelet in 2004
Member of the 'Women in Poker' Hall of Fame
Nominee for the Poker Hall of Fame
Kathy Liebert is still playing on the poker circuit and continues to impress with her confidence and professionalism.
4) Vanessa Rousso
As one of the most accomplished players on the circuit, Vanessa Rousso was an accomplished student throughout her school years, excelling in extra-curricular activities such as debating and violin as well as proving herself to be a strong sportswoman. When she got to college, she studied game theory, applying her knowledge to everything from Rubik's cube to chess.
Having played periodically from the age of five, Rousso used her enthusiasm for gaming to beat her opponents at poker. She used her knowledge of logic and statistics to play her hands to their best advantage and her knowledge of human psychology to gain an advantage over her competition.
5) Lottie Deno
Thought to have been born in 1844, Lottie Deno was the first woman to gain a reputation as a poker player although her real name has been lost over the course of history. While she would have been completely bamboozled by the modern approach to entertainment with games such as Starburst Slot from Virgin Games, she was a trailblazer when it came to competing in poker tournaments.
Historians have traced her to a few different cities throughout the USA, but she settled in Texas and made a name for herself by beating a number of male counterparts to succeed in an even more male-dominated world than the current poker scene.
Arguably the top female player of all time, Selbst has almost completely retired from poker as of 2019 in the wake of a hugely successful career which saw her win nearly twelve million dollars from live tournaments. As a former lawyer, and a graduate of Yale University, there's no doubt that Selbst used her brilliant brain to see off the competition at the poker table.
With three World Series of Poker wins under her belt, and a win of 1.8 million dollars in the 2010 Partouche Poker Tour Main Event, Selbst has largely retired from poker to pursue a career working for a hedge fund.
Although poker is still largely dominated by men, there are an increasing number of women taking the top spots. Not only do they have to compete against the most accomplished players in the game, but they also have to face the stigma of playing in high-pressure and sometimes hostile environments to open the game up to future generations of female players.

Thoughts That Go Bump in the Night
Thoughts on Thinking
"When somebody persuades me that I am wrong, I change my mind. What do you do?" John Maynard Keynes
"If you're unhappy with your life, change your thinking." Charles Fillmore
"The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it." Eckhart Tolle
"People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them." Epictetus
"The unexamined life is not worth living." Socrates
"Consciousness is a terrible thing to waste." PunditGeorge
It's More Than a Birthday...
Is there a fourth of July in Great Britain? Of course there is. They just don't celebrate it.
We do, and for good reason. The Declaration presented a framework for the people, the WE of the Constitution, to establish a government that protects and furthers the self-evident Truths. Nothing like this had ever existed in the history of Mankind. It was to be the great experiment, and, if successful, perhaps the blueprint for prosperity, peace, and the pursuit of happiness for anyone and everyone.
But that was long ago. Our wildly successful Republic is evinced by the loony excesses that safety, prosperity, and freedom allow. What would the Founders think if they could walk the "mean streets" of San Francisco, or Shreveport? Probably a big "Whoa! Where'd this come from?" Freedom is where it comes from. Freedom to decide doesn't mean that people always make "good" choices in what they think/say/do. And, since we're products of physics, for every cause there is an effect, and every effect has a cause. Misery comes from engaging in the same "causal" action but expecting a different result or "effect." But that's what it's all about. And it's why so many do what they think is what they must do to somehow get to the USA. Just stepping foot in this magical land would somehow improve their life. Well, yes A generous people (citizens of a Republic tend to be very generous) WE have many, many, ways for people to visit, work, and, yes, become a full fledged citizen. It's the Rule of Law, and not the whim of the Despot that defines us. And most folks around the globe get it.
July 4, 1776 was a time and place where a remarkable gathering of wise, albeit totally human, souls came together to imagine (IMAGINE!) the best way for a people to govern themselves as a society. Fortunate. Yes indeed, we are fortunate. And, even though the wild success of the great experiment can create problems unprecedented (you have to have prosperity and freedom to find new problems), the USA has the means to continue as the haven and launch pad for the freedom of Mankind.
John Stossel puts it very well:
Now, let the fun, festivities, and fireworks begin!

Just the FAQs, Please!
Just released on Kindle - Just the FAQs, Please, About Alcohol and Drug Abuse by Dan Baldwin and George Sewell.
Foreword to the Second Edition
Few subjects are more fraught with anxiety and dissention than addiction. Fewer still are the resources for non-professionals that treat the matter with knowing, compassionate humor. Just the FAQ's, Please straddles adroitly that precarious borderland between intimidating complexity on one hand and frustrating oversimplification on the other. . . With the important distinction between substance abuse and dependence in place, the authors move to the heart of the book in describing the characteristic disruptions in normal behavior and thinking, both of addicts and of loved ones and others, whose lives are impacted by the addict's seemingly willfully-destructive behavior. The book's final chapters discuss contemporary treatment and information resources for addictive disorders. This portion of the book drives home the point that family members suffer as much or more than the identified patient the pain and anguish from this primitive, unrelentingly-powerful disorder.

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
A Thought by Dr. Jung
We can never finally know. I simply believe that some part of the human Self or Soul is not subject to the laws of space and time.
The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors, that which it loves, and also that which it fears. It reaches the height of its cherished aspirations. It falls to the level of its unchastened desires - and circumstances are the means by which the soul receives its own. Every action and feeling is preceded by a thought.
A word from Mr. Churchill
"Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
"The universe is a great advancing life, and the purpose of nature is the advancement of life towards perfection, towards perfect functioning. The purpose of nature is perfect health."
Genevieve Behrend
"Thought as thought is neither good nor bad, it is creative action and always takes physical form."

Orange County Recovery offers long-term drug and alcohol addiction treatment services in Huntington Beach to those suffering from substance abuse addiction. Orange County Recovery understands that every individual has different treatment needs. To cope with the versatility of those undergoing treatment, an individual assessment is taken for each client in the Admissions Process.
In our bid to offer personalized drug and alcohol addiction treatment for those who want to recover from the devastating effects of addiction, Orange County Recovery provides addition treatment based on the individual's need and they are assessed for placement at the appropriate level of care.
Because our approach towards addiction treatment and recovery is personal and comprehensive, Orange County Recovery provides encyclopedic coverage at all levels of care and respects the time and needs of the clients and their specific situation. Drug and Alcohol Addiction is a three fold disease: an allergy of the body, an obsession of the mind, and a spiritual malady. At Orange County Recovery, all three ailments are treated in order for the client to have a complete recovery, that they may restore order to their relationships and live useful and productive lives.
Drug and alcohol addiction treatment services are an accumulation of different treatments, when combined, offer a cohesive process for clients that enable a complete recovery: body, mind, and soul.
There are different phases to the drug and alcohol addiction treatment which depends on where the client is in their recovery. The most structured level of care is offered at the beginning of the client's process and the levels of care scale down accordingly, depending on the progress of the individual. The lower levels of care are offered as the client demonstrates an understanding of the recovery process. At these lower levels of care, the client will begin to integrate back into society where they can start to work, go to school, or participate in other scheduled activities while still seeking treatment.
Drug and alcohol addiction treatment services are offered to individuals once they are physically detoxed. Orange County Recovery partners with several detox facilities in the local community and are able to place clients that need this level of care until they are ready to start treatment. Depending on the individual client's need, the client will be placed in the appropriate level of care for their situation and will either have a full schedule, which is all day, or a partial schedule, which can be a few hours daily or weekly. In some cases, individuals are under the care of a doctor for their detoxification medication and are eligible to start the treatment process.
As part of the recovery process, clients integrate into the local community using the resources available which encourage long-term sobriety. Some of the community resources include the 12-step recovery programs and Christ-centered recovery through local churches.
Not sure if Orange County Recovery will be right for you or your loved one? Let us help! Our detailed admissions process, which is designed for a close assessment of your loved one's condition and needs, will put you in touch with your personal admissions counselor, who will help determine the level of care needed.
There's no point checking into a rehab center only to undergo a terrible relapse shortly after release.
At Orange County Recovery, we provide unique and effective addiction recovery services, including residential and IOP (intensive outpatient treatment), that take into account the personal history and comfort of each individual who checks in.
CALL NOW! for assessment today at 877-450-1880! Addiction is a progressive disease! The longer one waites, the worse addiction becomes. Stop the progression today!
Most PPO insurance plans are accepted for the addiction treatment services and if the individual does not have insurance, a sliding scale will be used for treatment services. Health Net, Cigna, Aetna, and United Healthcare, are some of the more popular plans, however, many others are accepted. APPLY NOW to submit insurance information to see exactly how much coverage you have under your policy.

Magic Round
NRL Perth Nines
Wests Tigers Women
Top Five at Five: Wins Over Manly
weststigers.com.au
Wed 12 Jul 2017, 05:00 PM
The latest installment of an old-fashioned rivalry takes place this week as Wests Tigers make the trip over the Spit Bridge to take on the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles.
And having played a number of thrilling encounters over the years, we've decided to look back on our five most memorable wins over the Silvertails, thanks to Share Care.
5. Round 17, 2005 — Wests Tigers 49 def. Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles 24
Coming in to the match in 10th position, Wests Tigers knew they need to find something against the third placed Sea Eagles if they were to continue their push towards the Club's first finals appearance. After a win the week before against the Dragons, the signs were there for Tim Sheens' side, and it quickly clicked again for the home side as Scott Prince and Benji Marshall tore open the Sea Eagles' defence. The game did hang in the balance at 18-12 midway through the second half, before a blistering attacking spell put the game to bed and saw Wests Tigers continue their winning run — a streak that would end at eight games and put them in to the top four. And the rest, as they say, is history.
4. Round 5, 2014 — Wests Tigers 34 def. Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles 18
Torrential rain and a serious ankle injury to James Tedesco might have made for a tough day at the office for Wests Tigers, but for the 15,000-strong crowd who braved the conditions at Leichhardt Oval, it was a day to remember as Mick Potter's side raced to a commanding 20-0 lead over the Silvertails. Aaron Woods crossed for his first try at his local ground, while David Nofoaluma grabbed a double in the emphatic victory.
A thrilling finish in the end, but perhaps not for the reasons it should have been. After three tries in nine minutes gave Wests Tigers an 18-0 lead at half-time, Robbie Farah's field goal put the home side in front 19-6 late on in the second half and seemingly guaranteed a victory. However, a double to Anthony Watmough saw the Sea Eagles come roaring back and, had it not been for the superb late effort by Todd Payten to charge down Matt Orford's field goal, the game would have been heading to Golden Point. Instead, it was Sheens' men who went home victorious with a 19-18 win.

Played on the Central Coast, tries to Brett Stewart and Matt Ballin had the Sea Eagles in firm control of the match with a 12-0 lead at half-time. However, a dynamic attacking spell in the second half that saw Robert Lui, Blake Ayshford and Chris Lawrence all cross for tries in the space of 10 minutes saw Wests Tigers come roaring back to lead 16-12. The Sea Eagles had a chance to steal the win late in the contest when Steve Matai went close, but Wests Tigers' gritty defence held firm and ensured a four-point win in the end.
A season-opener to remember saw Wests Tigers face off against the Sea Eagles at Allianz Stadium, and go 4-0 up in as many minutes when Lote Tuqiri scored with his first touch back in rugby league. Beau Ryan looked to double the lead soon after when he crossed, but was denied due to a forward pass — giving the visitors the ascendency to go on the attack and soon level the match. Playing at five-eighth, Jamie Lyon was instrumental in the Sea Eagles' first half with two further try-assists and a penalty goal giving Manly an unlikely 20-4 half-time lead — particularly after Ryan bombed another try over the line. But as they'd done time and time before, the comeback began for Wests Tigers with Tim Moltzen at the centre of it. The fullback first set up Ayshford in the 58th minute, before racing through the Sea Eagles' defence in the following set to put Liam Fulton over — cutting the lead to 20-14. Lyon added another penalty goal to push the lead back out to eight points, but after Marshall and Fulton combined to put Lawrence over in the 71st minute, the game was there to be had for Wests Tigers, with Tuqiri and Farah breaking Manly hearts by putting Gareth Ellis over the line for his first try in the NRL. Tensions were high after the stirring comeback, and with George Rose sent to the sin-bin for hitting Daniel Fitzhenry in the head, it was a sweet win for Wests Tigers — coming from 16 points down at the break to walk away with a 26-22 win over their bitter rivals.
Be there at ANZ Stadium on Sunday, July 23 when we take on the Parramatta Eels!

An approximation of the 52-unit building BC Housing intends to construct at 2600 35th Street in Vernon, attached to the existing My Place supportive housing site. A virtual neighbourhood meeting to discuss the project is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2020. (BC Housing photo)
Online discussion planned for North Okanagan supportive housing project
Virtual neighbourhood information session on 52-unit BC Housing project in Vernon set for Aug. 26

An online meeting will provide Vernon residents with information on a proposed supportive housing project that would double the number of units at an existing site in the city.
BC Housing is partnering with Turning Points Collaborative Society on two proposed projects that would create more than 100 new homes for people experiencing homelessness in Vernon. One of the proposed buildings, located at 2600 35th St., would add 52 purpose-built studio apartments to the existing 52-unit My Place site, which has been in operation since July 2019.
To explore ways to successfully integrate the building and its tenants into the surrounding community, BC Housing and Turning Points are hosting an online neighbourhood information meeting Wednesday, Aug. 26 from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
"Turning Points Collaborative Society has been successfully operating My Place for the past year and the new units at My Place 2 would expand on their success," BC Housing said on its Let's Talk Housing BC webpage.
Participants must register to attend the virtual meeting, which can be done by emailing communityrelations@bchousing.org.

My Place 2 would see Turning Points staff provide residents with supports such as meal programs, life and employment skills training, and health and wellness support services.
"Staff would be onsite 24/7, working with each resident to understand their needs and goals and providing the support they need to have housing stability," BC Housing said.
BC Housing would lead the construction of both the building on 35th Street and a second proposed project located at 2307 43rd St., which would provide approximately 50 new units of supportive housing connected to the 46 existing supportive housing units at Turning Points' Our Place. Were that project to go ahead, it would involve demolishing the Howard House shelter which has long been slated for redevelopment.
If the projects are approved by the city, BC Housing will provide estimates on costs and proposed construction timelines.

The DPF 2/44… is a 8-cavity duplex filter for duplex radio transceivers.
This duplexer is delivered in a low band version type DPF 2/44 L, tunable within 138 - 156 MHz and a high band version type DPF 2/44 H, tunable within 152 - 175 MHz. These models are again delivered in 3 submodels, each dedicated to work with a certain duplex spacing. See "Ordering information" below.
The DPF 2/44… models are primarily intended for equipment, where the TX and RX operate on several channels, i.e. within a certain port bandwidth.
The filter has very small physical dimensions owing to the use of high-Q, temperature compensated helical resonators.
The housing is made of extruded aluminium, the chassis of passivated steel, and teflon insulation has been applied in the rigid coaxial cables and in the connectors.
The filter is black vinyl-coated to prevent corrosion.

Ohlson hits 300th win on West Bridgewater diamond
Brian Jordan
It's said that a marathon is 20 miles of training and six miles of faith.
West Bridgewater baseball coach Carl "Cully" Ohlson has run a marathon of his own, and showed a lot of faith along the way, notching his 300th career win Thursday, leading the Wildcats to a 6-4 win over Blue Hills.
"I've always enjoyed it," Ohlson said, "I'm one of the few guys who has gotten to do the things he's always wanted to do. I've been playing games my whole life."
Ohlson, a 58-year-old native of West Bridgewater, taught physical education for 34 years at a middle school in Swansea, and is in the midst of his 24th season of coaching West Bridgewater.
"We've been doing really good," said Ohlson, who has led the Wildcats to the postseason 17 times. "We've always done really well for a small school in all the sports."
In the Wildcats' win over the Warriors, pitcher Andrew Drass pitched a complete game, and struck out 10 for the win as West Bridgewater improved to 7-4.
The Wildcats' bats were hot early, but not often, with Mike Devilly and Austin Pike knocking in an RBI apiece in the first inning.
A P.J. Jamieson RBI, and a three-run homer from Ryan Webby in the second gave the Wildcats a 6-0 lead.
Solid pitching by the Warriors over the rest of the game forced West Bridgewater to hang on in the late innings.


U.S. Air Force Airman Jeanne Pinos graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in San Antonio, Texas.
Pinos is the daughter of Gloria Castillo and sister of Andrea Pinos of Point Pleasant and is a 2016 graduate of Point Pleasant Borough High School.
Congratulations to Jeanne Pinos, our Warrior of the Week.


Military doctors prescribed several drugs: the painkillers Vicodin and Percocet and the steroid hydrocortisone. Then, in April 2003, they ordered the heavily medicated soldier deployed to Iraq. For the next year, Eggemeyer drove a Humvee, running supply convoys all around the country. His convoys were attacked twice. His worst day occurred early on, when the military truck in front of his Humvee hit a civilian vehicle.
"One of the cars in the oncoming traffic hit another car that was coming toward us and caused that car to swerve across the intersection and slam into the truck in front of me. The truck in front of me hit it pretty good and killed everyone inside," he says. He slammed on the brakes to avoid adding his Humvee to the pileup. Then he got out and loaded an entire family of dead Iraqis onto an American helicopter.
"A Black Hawk had come in when my first sergeant called the medics, and they flew, and the people got taken out," he says. "But they were already dead, and so they just got transported: a little girl, two adult females and a guy." After that, Eggemeyer's condition worsened. The longer he stayed in Iraq, the worse his body felt. He also started to take more of the painkillers and the steroids the military had given him. The more he took them, the more he needed to dull the pain.
But violence wasn't the only thing Eggemeyer had to deal with overseas. While he was in Iraq, he filed for divorce. Then Eggemeyer checked his bank account, and, he says, $7,000 had somehow gone missing. So, for the duration of his time in Iraq, Eggemeyer's parents took custody of his son, Joseph, who had been born just two months before his deployment.
Returning to Fort Bragg in April 2004, Eggemeyer was quickly discharged from the military. Already experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, he started fighting with his captain and was given a "general discharge under honorable conditions," which allows him to use the services of the Department of Veterans Affairs but denies him access to benefits of the GI Bill. Eventually, his PTSD and other injuries led him to become homeless, and he filed a disability claim with the VA. He continued to live literally on the street, sleeping in vehicles, for more than nine months as the VA bureaucracy sorted paper and asked for more, piling delay on delay.
Eggemeyer's treatment was not unusual but routine.
Wounded veterans returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan are met with years of delays as they fight with a hostile Department of Veterans Affairs bureaucracy for the disability benefits they were promised for their service. These newly returning veterans, almost 300,000 of whom have filed disability claims, are forced to wait — from six months to two years — to learn if they qualify for benefits. Those who appeal a VA decision to deny their disability claims have to wait an average of 1,608 days, or nearly four and a half years, for their answer. During this process, veterans often fall through the cracks into homelessness, hopelessness and self-medication with alcohol and illegal drugs.
It doesn't have to be this way. If the VA simplified its claims process to approximate methods used in other federal agencies, including the IRS, many more veterans would likely land on their feet quickly. "This is not rocket science," says Linda Bilmes, a professor at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. "This is not as difficult as fixing Middle East peace or fixing our Iraq problem. This is something that is entirely within our ability to fix.
Kare-Pro had a decidedly upscale clientele. Located right outside the gates of the exclusive PGA Country Club and down the street from the private Legacy Golf and Tennis Club, it serviced Lexuses, BMWs and large American SUVs. So less than a year after serving his country by driving a Humvee in a war zone, Eggemeyer was wiping down cars for the rich.
It did not go well. "He asked a lot of questions," Askins tells me. "He didn't seem to get (detailing) down as quickly as some of our other workers. He had some difficulties, but we did the best we could to get the most out of him." Eggemeyer says his main problem was that the manual labor at Kare-Pro was aggravating the injury he sustained in training at Fort Bragg. "My back started to get worse and worse, and I'd almost be crying from the pain in my back and the way my shoulder feels and my wrists. I was just having pains all over my body," he says.
In December 2006, Eggemeyer filed a disability claim with the VA; he had already lost his apartment and begun living out of his girlfriend's 1999 Ford Explorer. When the VA responded to his claim with a letter to his old address requesting that he come in for a physical, he missed the appointment. It's a vicious cycle familiar to homeless people across the country: They need help from the government because they don't have a home, but they can't receive mail because they don't have an address.
Eggemeyer pawned everything he could: his girlfriend's ring, his guitar, his Xbox video game system and his television. Then he went to get help from Tony Reese, a veteran service representative working for Martin County, Fla. Reese let Eggemeyer use his office as his address and made sure that Eggemeyer showed up at all his appointments. He put all of Eggemeyer's documents in order and used the VA computer system to check that his claim was on the right bureaucrat's desk at the regional office in St. Petersburg, Fla.
So Reese started to raise money from private organizations, just enough to keep Eggemeyer afloat until his claim was settled. In June 2007, he convinced the William J. Peterman Foundation for Disabled War Veterans to donate enough money to put Eggemeyer up in a cheap hotel for the month, with both Reese and the foundation believing he would surely be receiving a disability check by month's end. All the VA needed to do was have a claims adjuster stamp a decision on his file — and since Eggemeyer was homeless, his file theoretically should have been at the top of the stack.
But after 30 days passed, the VA still hadn't rendered a decision. The Peterman Foundation money ran out and Eggemeyer had to go back to living in a car. Then, on July 21, 2007, Eggemeyer crashed his girlfriend's Explorer, which was also his house. According to a report from the Stuart, Fla., police department, no other vehicles were involved. Eggemeyer simply veered onto the sidewalk and struck a utility pole near a Winn-Dixie grocery store on State Route 5.
Reese sprang into action again, persuading the local Veterans Council, a membership organization of groups like the .org/homepage.php">American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, to pitch in enough money for Eggemeyer to buy a used truck to live in. Then they waited again. July passed, August passed and Eggemeyer was still waiting, unemployed and homeless. On Aug. 30, 2007, I called him on the telephone.
"Well, about a week after that, I called them again and said: 'What's the process? Have I been rated yet?' And they said: 'Well, no. You're missing these three forms. They're missing from your file. You need to send them in for your file in order for them to be rated.' So I went in to see the veterans service officer (Reese), and he helped me get the paperwork they said I was missing, and we faxed it over to them.
At that point, Reese called all the claims adjudicators he knew at the rating board in St. Petersburg. He reminded them of what they already knew from the forms he had faxed and mailed them multiple times: Spc. James Eggemeyer had served his country in Iraq and had sustained both physical and mental injuries in the field of battle; he was now homeless and suicidal.
On Sept. 5, 2007, a claims official at the VA told Reese and Eggemeyer that the first check would come within the week. Eggemeyer had been given a 100 percent disability rating, retroactive to the date he made his first claim, meaning he would get a lump sum of close to $30,000, plus about $2,700 a month.
The VA's own statistics show that Spc. James Eggemeyer received what could best be described as standard treatment. Since the start of the Iraq war, the backlog of unanswered VA disability claims has grown from 325,000 to more than 600,000. In the six months ending March 31, 2008, a total of 1,467 veterans died waiting to learn if their disability claim would be approved.
Roche should know. When he retired from the Air Force in 1969, he went to work for the VA as a claims specialist, deciding which veterans should and should not receive benefits. He quit that job after three years, citing a toxic bureaucratic culture, and spent the next 15 years working as a veteran service officer in Pinellas County, Fla., carrying out job duties similar to Reese's. Over the years, he has learned a lot about the VA and has written three books designed to help vets deal with it: The Veteran's Survival Guide, The Veteran's PTSD Handbook and, most recently, Claim Denied! How to Appeal a VA Denial of Benefits.
The whole claims process, Roche says, is designed to ferret out veterans trying to cheat the system, rather than compensating soldiers injured in the line of duty. The VA requires a veteran to prove all his or her injuries, complete with dates, times and independent medical verification. For example, a veteran applying for compensation for post-traumatic stress disorder must submit a 26-page form, the key to which is a detailed essay on the specific moments when he or she experienced a terrifying event or series of incidents that caused his or her mental illness to develop.
This is not easy. One of the primary symptoms of PTSD is the tendency of those who suffer it to block out any memory of the event or events that led to the disorder. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the bible of psychiatric diagnoses, a person with PTSD often displays a "persistent avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma and numbing of general responsiveness." In other words, the last thing a person experiencing post-traumatic stress wants to do is sit down and write an essay on why, and exactly how, he or she has become mentally ill.
Veterans must also back claims up with documents proving their PTSD is "service connected," get their paperwork past a predetermination team at one of the VA's 58 regional offices and sit for a Compensation and Pension Medical Examination with a doctor whose entire job is to detect fraud.
After the exam, the veteran's case goes to a VA rating board. By now, months have been spent on paperwork, and the veteran still has no idea if benefits will be granted. If there is a disagreement between the veteran and the rating board, another even-more-complicated appeals process ensues, and it could take years before the veteran receives a check.
It's here that Roche and other veterans' advocates see the biggest problem. The VA promotes claims adjudicators based on how many cases they clear, not on whether they make the right decision. "A VA claims official is required to clear 12 claims a day," Roche notes. "If they deny your claim, they can take an 'end product credit.' So as far as statistics go, they have cleared a claim.
The cost of easing the readjustment process for veterans would be relatively small, about $500 million a year, or about 2 percent of what Congress appropriated last year for the war in Iraq. Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand all use similar systems to compensate their injured veterans. Yet very little has been done to push this plan toward implementation. No member of Congress has sponsored legislation that would enact this solution.
The VA has tried to tackle the long wait times by hiring thousands of new civil servants to process disability claims under the current system. But Bilmes says this strategy is bound to fail. So far, the backlog continues to grow.
"You will have several thousand more inexperienced claims adjudicators who all need to be trained," she says. "In the interim, we will have to pull off the more experienced claims adjudicators to train the less experienced ones, and if we're really lucky, that will reduce wait times by 20 percent.
On Florida's Atlantic Coast, former Spc. James Eggemeyer continues to try to get his life together. Back and shoulder pain, coupled with post-traumatic stress disorder, still prevent him from holding a job, but the disability payments he's received for the last year have allowed him to move into a trailer park. He's become active in his son's life again. He's beginning to make the readjustment to civilian life that could have begun months earlier, if the government that sent him to fight in Iraq had trusted him when he came back.

Went to a YogaFit Conference to take two more trainings toward my registration as a yoga therapist. One of them was an introduction to Ayurveda, applying the principles of the system to a yoga practice, e.g. movements to stimulate the immune system to help our constitutions sustain their natural balance. An "off-the-mat" assignment from the training was to commit [mutually, with another participant] to an Ayurvedic principle and check in after thirty days. I committed to revising my wake-up and go-to-bed times: getting up at 6 AM and getting to bed by 10 PM, with meditation and a yoga practice to start my day. So far, I've missed more days than I've hit. But each new day is a fresh opportunity to try again.

Celebrating over 15 years of service in Southwest Washington!
We are a nonprofit all-volunteer organization dedicated to providing programs and services to enrich and improve the quality of life in our community.
Assistance League Southwest Washington's 55+ volunteers are what make our organization so remarkable. All members are highly motivated to effect change in our community because they have a personal stake in the outcome. Each one has the spirit to get the job done, whatever it is and whatever it takes.
Our focus is on local community needs and helping our volunteers realize their vision for the community. In fact, all funds we raise stay in our community.
We conduct extensive community needs assessments, develop programs to fit those needs, then fund and volunteer in each program.
Our founder Anne Smith Banning, was part of a small group of prominent Los Angeles women who did charitable work in the mid-1890s, calling themselves Assistance League. In 1906, they responded to the San Francisco earthquake and fire by collecting money and sewing clothes. The next year, they formed a permanent organization to meet local needs.
In 1919, Anne and twelve friends formed Assistance League of Southern California to provide food and clothing for local families severely impacted by World War I. Groups in adjoining communities wanted to organize the same way, and in response Anne Banning and Ada Laughlin organized National Assistance League in 1935 to foster effective volunteerism through leadership training and education.
In 2003 a handful of dedicated volunteers met in one another's homes to find ways to make a difference in their community. Their efforts resulted in the formation of Assistance League of Southwest Washington.
The organization was first recognized as a guild of Assistance League and in 2008 became a full-fledged chapter. Members have collectively been a positive force in the lives of thousands of children and families throughout Clark County and some adjacent areas.


Our fabulous newly-refurbished private dining room is perfect for all kinds of events and occasions from Christmas festivities, work do's and private parties to canapé receptions, anniversary and birthday celebrations. With space to seat up to 30 or host 40 for standing receptions, we'd be delighted to host your special occasion.

Stay up-to-date on the latest news from WPC here.
PC makers will get access to the final Windows 8.1 code in late August, Microsoft officials confirmed Monday.
Tami Reller, CFO and chief marketing officer of the Windows Division, announced the timing during a keynote at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in Houston.
Windows 8.1 is a substantial upgrade to Windows 8, which shipped in late October 2012. Windows 8.1 will be free for users who already have Windows 8 and will be delivered via download from the Windows Store.
Key new features among the hundreds of changes in Windows 8.1 include a Start button, more flexibility on Start Tile sizes, improved search, tighter integration with the Microsoft SkyDrive cloud storage service and optimization for portrait mode. A consumer preview of Windows 8.1 became available a few weeks ago, during Microsoft's Build conference.
The late-August delivery will make the update available as a download for PCs bought for back-to-school but probably won't give OEMs a chance to build 8.1-optimized machines until the holiday buying period.
Reller did not provide any guidance on timing for general availability of Windows 8.1 in the Windows Store.

Nicaraguans Exiled in Norway form Solidarity Group
Open meeting on Nicaragua held in Oslo, Norway.
A new group has emerged: "Nicaragua gruppa LAG-Oslo", a branch of the Norwegian Committee for Solidarity with Latin America. It is made up of both Nicaraguans and Norwegians who oppose the Ortega-Murillo regime.
By Solange Saballos*
HAVANA TIMES – The reddish lights hover over a small group of grey-haired Norwegians. In their youth, they believed in the ideals of Latin America's second socialist revolution, which took place in Nicaragua. Now, gathered in the hall of Oslo's House of Culture, they listen attentively to the denunciations of journalist Carlos Fernando Chamorro, and heard the pain of exile in the voice of singer Katia Cardenal, accompanied by Nina Cardenal. There was a speech from Marcela Prado, who had received political asylum in Norway. The utopian dream that pushed them to leave their native fjords to aid a valiant people is now evaporating before their incredulous eyes, still filled with dreams.
Carlos F. Chamorro participated online at the meeting.
On Monday, November 8, a seminar was held in the Oslo House of Culture (Kulturhuset) in the Norwegian capital. It was billed as an "Open Meeting regarding Nicaragua". The event featured discussions of the political panorama in Nicaragua, one day after the presidential "election", which ratified a new term in power for dictators Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo. Dozens of countries have refused to recognize these elections as legitimate.
The event, held in English, was organized by the Nicaragua gruppa LAG-Oslo, a recently formed branch of the Norwegian Solidarity Committee with Latin America (LAG), with help from the International Support Fund for Students and Academics (SAIH).
It included the online participation of exiled Nicaraguan journalist Carlos Fernando Chamorro, together with Mariel Aguilar Stoen, professor with the University of Oslo's Center for Development and the Environment, and Axel Borchgrevink, International Studies professor at the OsloMet University. The three discussed the future of the Sandinista revolution, and the current sociopolitical crisis in the country.
Also present was singer-songwriter Katia Cardenal, currently exiled in Norway with her children due to political persecution from the Ortega-Murillo regime. Together with her daughter, guitarist Nina Cardenal, they interpreted the songs "Cancion del fuego" (Song of fire), "Contracorriente" (Against the Current), and "Alla" (There). "It's super sad for my generation to see how the revolutionary dream of the young people of the eighties has been severed in this way," the singer stated.
Katia and Nina Cardenal were present at the meeting.
"Latin-Amerika gruppene i Norge (LAG)": supporting the revolution but rejecting the Sandinista party
The NGO Norwegian Solidarity Group with Latin America (LAG) was formed during the 1973 coup d'etat in Chile that deposed then-president Salvador Allende. Later, it supported other leftist social movements on the continent.
"LAG is the umbrella group for us and other groups, inside and outside of Oslo. There are groups all over Norway, and together we form the group "Latin-Amerika". Many young people have traveled to Nicaragua to work on brigades. An embassy was also established that functioned for many years, but has since been dismantled for obvious reasons," indicated Evelyn Hoen, one of the coordinators of the Nicaragua group.
There are unofficial reports of internal tensions in LAG with respect to Nicaragua. Some consider that the situation merely reflects another of the United States' many interventions in Latin America, while others recognize that Latin America's second socialist revolution on the continent has been betrayed by the actions of the Ortega-Murillo regime. There've been discussion about whether or not to tackle the situation in Nicaragua from the perspective of the citizens, instead of sympathy with the Sandinista ideals.

Marcela Prado, a systems engineer and political refugee, gave a talk about the situation of Nicaraguan asylum seekers in Norway.
Regarding the latter perspective, Prado commented: "I discovered that they initially wanted [to see it that way], but there was some who thought the opposite. There were many discussions, and I think they didn't continue. But then a small group was formed ("Nicaragua gruppa") and I fell in with them."
Marcela Prado explained that the Nicaraguans who form part of this group are: "ten refugees, plus two people who were denied asylum and are now appealing through the Norwegian Organization for Asylum Seekers. I understand there are two other people in the process of seeking asylum, but I don't have their information."
The Nicaraguan group established a public presence on social media beginning in October 2021. The Open Meeting was their first event. "Our group wants to call attention to what's happening in Nicaragua – the human rights violations, and also all the people who have died, who are in jail. Obviously, there's no more democracy in Nicaragua. We want to work to help reestablish democracy there," Evelyn Hoen declared.
Difficult road for asylum seekers in Norway
Marcela Prado stated that a number of asylum requests made by Nicaraguans have been denied by Norway, despite the fact that there've been only a small number of them. "Under the previous [conservative] government, a lot of applications were denied. One of the justifications they offered is that we had to be public or high-profile figures to run a risk in Nicaragua," Prado explained. Those contradictions have been publicly exposed in the independent Nicaraguan media, which has spotlighted the cases of Michelle Quezada and the engineer Silvia Herrera, who were being denied asylum in Norway because they weren't "public figures".
According to the annual reports of the Norwegian Immigration Agency, 40 Nicaraguans requested political asylum between 2018 and 2021. Norway denied 34 of those requests.
Marcela Prado
Actually, according to a report issued by Landinfo, a Norwegian organization charged with providing information on immigration in the country, "people who participate in the demonstrations [in Nicaragua] run a great risk. The authorities keep watch on those who participate in the protests and take measures against them." This assertion appeared in the organization's March 2019 report.
In a third report on Nicaragua, dated September 2019, Landinfo reaffirmed: "Even people with no particular social or political profile were detained in 2020 as a result of their participation in the 2018 demonstrations, according to Tiiano Breda (analyst with the International Crisis Group). Several of those arrested in 2019 and 2020 have been ordinary people."
Although the Norwegian Labor Party (Arbeiderpartiet), which won the recent Norwegian elections, promised during their political campaign to speed up the asylum process, Prado classified the situation as "uncertain".

The 9/11 tragedy affected every American in a different way. Some lost family members and friends, some lost their lives, some were dispatched to provide rescue, medical services and support to victims, and some were deployed to Afghanistan to go to war.
Patti Patton-Bader, founder of Soldiers' Angels, was about to experience what it's like to have a son go off to war. Her son Brandon enlisted in the Army in August of 2001 - a mere 2 weeks before 9/11 happened.
A year and a half later, Brandon was called and said he was being deployed to Iraq.
Patti called her Dad and told him the news; that Brandon was going to war.
"It's ok honey, he will be alright," her dad said.
"But Dad," Patti replied, "he is so small and they are shooting guns!" Patti's son was only 20 at the time.
"Don't worry, he will run under the bullets," her dad said.
Unfortunately, they received no word from Brandon.
She called Patti back that night and told her that she had talked to her husband. When she asked him about Brandon, his reply was "Who? The luckiest man in Iraq?" Brandon had been receiving her care packages and was well known for it! She was told that he would call her that night.
2. Have you been getting the supplies?
3. Do you have enough supplies?
"Right then and there I knew what to do," Patti said.
That's how 9/11 affected Patti Bader. It was a wake up call to America and Patti that Americans were needed. They were needed to support the people fighting for them overseas.
It didn't stop with the care packages though. People started reaching out to Patti about ways to support our heroes. Patti realized there were wounded troops being sent to Germany with basically no clothes or supplies for their hospitalization. She realized that there were Chaplains who needed supplies, injured vets who needed help healing their emotional wounds, and troops who needed Christmas spirit... Soldiers' Angels was born.
Soldiers' Angels is what it is today because Patti wanted to support her son, who was deployed because of 9/11. It started a chain reaction when she realized how many of our service members needed support.

The #1 Way to Stay in Power
Getting into a leadership position can be difficult.
But what's even more difficult, as history has proven over and over again, is keeping that power in the long run.
Power indeed often rests on shaky foundations: people want you there, but they also resent your power.
But by the end of this article, you will know how to keep power over the long haul.
The Ambivalence of Power
Entitlement to Power Is Leaders' Biggest Mistake
You Keep Power When People Want You With Power
How Great Leader Hold to Power
The main reason why power rests on shaky foundations is because of people's inherent ambivalence towards people.
Want a leader, but also want freedom
Need a guide, but like to believe they don't need anyone
Love looking up to someone better, but secretly resent them for making them feel inferior
Say they want a friendly leader, but will lose all respect for a leader who can't lead
Respect and fear strong leader, but secretly want to kill a leader who makes them feel insignificant
Like to dream of being as rich and powerful as the leader, but are deeply jealous of him
When things go badly, the same people who came to give you the crown will now come clamoring for your head.
In the past, heads have been rolling literally.
And executions were big public celebrations:
Note: Staying power with gullible subjects is easier
Notice how sis charisma still gets through the sheep, even when those sheep were there to see him die. If you're leading gullible people, staying in power is easier.
It's when you're leading more intelligent and/or people more at your level that it gets more difficult.
Heads roll more seldom these days, but don't think it's any easier to stay in power.
We're exactly the same people as centuries ago indeed, and we can see the same pleasure of seeing our leaders crumble whenever a big-name politician loses a major election, or whenever a new big scandal hits the news.
The pleasure, of course, is double when the one who fell was a bad leader, like with Theranos' Elizabeth Holmes.
Then we can all bask together in the crowd's animal spirit, taking our sweet revenge on those who got all the leadership perks, but eventually betrayed us.
However, often you don't need terrible leadership to lose your power.
That ambivalence can be easily tipped towards the negative even with average or, sometimes, even with good leadership.
From a social dynamics point of view, the change from support to resentment can be swift and sudden. And it catches most leaders off guard.
Leaders Only See The (Positive) Tip of The Iceberg
Most leaders fail to see the ambivalence of leadership for three reasons:
They are not emotionally intelligent leaders and miss the signs
They haven't taken the time to study and understand social and power dynamics
People simply hide their negative feelings
Leaders mostly see the hand-clapping, the babies handed to them for kisses and pictures, the smiles…
And until the tipping point is about to reach many leaders fail to read the changing times, possibly unconsciously trying to cling to the status quote.
He dismisses the backhanded compliments of the frenemies, the slight disrespect, the passive aggression.
And he focuses on brown nosers, cronies and the many sycophants who fail to see the end nearing.
But what is it that causes leaders to lose the goodwill of the people they lead?
Some people say that power corrupts, while some others disagree.
I think we have ample evidence that power can corrupt. Or, at least, make easily-corruptible people worst.
History has shown it to us more times than we can count.
Leaders get power, maybe through fully legitimate elections.
And they soon forget they weren't bestowed power by birthright, that they are not there to enjoy fame, fortunes and the trappings of power but that they are there to lead.
And to lead means to move people and the organization towards a better future.
Instead, they get used to the power, to the attention, to the spotlight and to the trappings of leadership.
This is entitlement kicking in.
And albeit entitlement coupled with strong and forceful action can be helpful in quickly climbing dominance hierarchies, entitlement almost always loses you the people's goodwill which, in turn, makes it hard to keep your power -at least legitimately-.
An important caveat indeed is that the people's goodwill might not matter much in dictatorships.
Dictatorships follow different rules. But since most readers are thankfully living in more or less democratic countries, we are talking about non-dictatorial power here.
And in any democratic organization and in most groups, leaders and politicians can be voted out. And leaders are often voted out, independently of their results, simply based on how much people like them (or dislike them).
I have witnessed a politician after the other having fallen prey of entitlement and got the boot because of hubris.
Matteo Renzi: called a referendum to transform Italy into a presidential system, got the boot because people resented he wanted "king's powers". And he was doing a great job with the economy.
Nicolas Sarkozy: was seen a bit too chummy spending time on the yachts of the ultra-rich, people felt he had lost touch with, well… The people who vote. Got booted out.
Emmanuel Macron: this guy made more power mistakes than I can count. See Macron VS Trump, Macron is Trump's bitch, and Macron makes people resentful
I list some famous people here so you can check them.
But you don't need to be a president to fall for the "power's entitlement trap". Any position of power, even among your friends, carries the same risks.
The general rule is this: the more you start acting like a king who's above everyone else, and the more people will come to resent you.
And it those resentful people can vote, join forces, or find the power to boot you, they will gladly do so.
Entitled Leaders Are Poor Leaders
Even if elections weren't a problem, the results almost always suffer when leaders become entitled and egotistic.
Entitled leaders grow and ego and close off and new ideas.
It's similar to the effect of a fixed mindset, and they see any bad news as a sign of dissent and an affront to their power and authority.
People sense when that happens and they start disliking their leaders.
This is what happened to French president Nicolas Sarkozi, Matteo Renzi in Italy and, recently, Emanuel Macron who saw one of the biggest street protests to rock the Western streets in modern times.
This was a very telling video of Macron's increasing entitlement and "power haze":
He was right in demanding more respect from the snotty kid, but the way he did it, it deeply reeked of entitlement and a huge ego.
People feel their leaders' ego ballooning and they wonder whether they are in charge to feed their own ego or to lead them.
When that happens, respect dwindles and goodwill disappears. The disconnect grows and resentment also grows.
In the worst cases, leaders who can manage to cling to power in the face of growing push-backs become paranoid.
They spend all their time and energies to fend off enemies, whether they are real or imagined.
This is what happened with Richard Nixon and this is what's happening with Donald Trump (also read: The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump).
When things get even worst, delusional leaders cling to power as they destroy organizations or whole countries, as it was the case with Muammar Gaddafi.
In Eleven Rings, Phil Jackson says he once told a power-hungry but not yet ready to lead Kobe Bryant:
You can't be captain when nobody wants to follow you
How true.
Leaders can get a bit more mileage out of followers who don't fall anymore because tehy are already in power.
But when your followers don't follow to you anymore, then it's either you let the tanks roll, or your grip to power starts getting shaky.
How to overcome entitlement
Letting the Tanks Roll
I will eventually make an article for despots only.
But it bears repeating again: sadly for the population, the rules change for leaders that have access to the military.
Hated, selfish, and sociopathic leaders can remain in power if they pay the military well, and if they secure the generals' support (De Mesquita, 2011).
Great picture. But, ultimately, the tanks did score their win for the regime
But you don't necessarily need the military to remain in power as long as you got a way of harming your followers.
A bad boss who can fire his employee will still remain in power as long as he can keep his team divided (divide and stay in power).
Hopefully, though, you will at keeping power because the people want you there.
As we've already mentioned, it's usually better fo all. And it's doable. If you put your effort into charming your followers and doing well for the team, everyone will win -and you will get to keep the power-.
Great leaders know that, ultimately, their power rests with their followers.
And you must earn their trust by delivering, improving their lots and staying true to your values and ideals.
And, ultimately, by showing the way on how to be high-quality person with your own personality.
Great leaders also know that as much as they will stay in power as long as people want them in power, they can also increase their power by increasing their goodwill with the people.
When leaders take their leadership position as a responsibility to carry their people forward, they build goodwill.
And when hardships strike, people will keep supporting the leaders they love.
They might even take up arms for the leaders they love.
Writes Robert Greene in The Laws of Human Nature:
(us as leaders) must realize that we are actually in a weak position, and we must struggle to adopt the opposite attitude: We expect nothing from the people around us, from those whom we lead.
We are not defensive or sitting back but completely active—everything we get from others, and most definitely their respect, must be earned. We have to continually prove ourselves. We have to show that our primary consideration is not ourselves and our sensitive egos but the welfare of the group.
With such an attitude, we will notice a very different effect. People will open themselves to our influence; as we move toward them, they move toward us. They want to win our approval and respect. With such an emotional connection, we are more easily forgiven for mistakes.
And says Simon Sinek in Leaders Eat Last:
The true price of leadership is the willingness to place the needs of others above your own.
Great leaders truly care about those they are privileged to lead and understand that the true cost of the leadership privilege comes at the expense of self-interest.
"Privileged to lead", that's the key mindset difference between entitled leaders and leaders who build goodwill, are loved by their people and stay in leadership positions for the long haul.
Leaders depend on those whom they lead
In this regard, a leader-group relationship is not that different from a person to person relationship.
If you show empathy, respect, care and love for the group you lead, you will receive respect, care and love back.
And with that, also the guarantee that you will stay in power for the foreseeable future.
On top of the core pillars that we already saw in the overview of social power, this is what the most beloved leaders do:
Lead From The Front
Leaders work harder than everyone else.
And marketing-savvy leaders show themselves working harder than everyone else, too.
July 1937 –. Image by © Bettmann/CORBIS
Benito Mussolini genius propaganda was one of the first examples of great use of mass media to influence the public.
By showing himself working hard people could look up to him without feeling jealous and resentful for his position: he was earning his stripes (or so it looked, at least).
As Willink and Babin explain in Extreme Ownership, leaders take responsibility for whatever happens in their group and within their mission.
If things go south, leaders shoulder the blame.
Leaders who shoulder the blame hold up to the unwritten leadership contract: I get the trappings of power, but also shield you from blame and troubles (as much as possible).
And if things go well, they pass the credit.
We live in a world -or perhaps we've always lived in a world- where facts randomly follow promises.
Duplicitous marketing slogans oversell mediocre products and politicians who promise change and better times often only deliver for their cronies.
But that's a great opportunity for enlightened leaders to distinguish themselves and causing major upsets even among better-funded competitors.
That's who Sanders was able to pull the offsets that he's pulled against the more established Hillary Clinton:
Hillary's Clinton coarse voice BTW is one of the reasons she has lots.
Know the psychology of leadership
This post on leadership's psychology is by far the best overview of leadership's psychology and group-psychology you can get.
Study it if you want to be a leader one day (or if you are already one).
This article showed you that great leadership keeps power because people want great leaders in power.
There are different ways to maintain power, and this article focused on the positive aspect of keeping power: doing a great job as a leader.
This article also stated that power can corrupt.
And the more it corrupts you, the worst leader you become and the harder it is to remain in power.
It's your duty as a leader to develop the mental checks-and-balances that make sure you stay grounded and never forget that good leadership is, ultimately, about responsibility.
Never grow entitled to power: that's the easiest way to make people resent you and force you out of office.
You must earn the trust and love of the people you lead and always remind yourself that you are there to serve.
That's the mindset that will bring you love, fame and long-lasting power (and, incidentally, also make for a better world).

Brexit Campaigner Gove Says Pro-EU Camp Patronize Voters

World Michael Gove Brexit Children Eu referendum
Pro-Brexit British minister Michael Gove will say in a speech today that the "Remain" campaign in the U.K.'s upcoming EU membership referendum is treating people like "children."
Gove, who serves as Justice Secretary, will accuse those who want Britain to stay in the bloc of talking to voters "like children who can be frightened into obedience," who want "us to believe that Britain is broken and beaten," according to media reports.
He will use a speech in London to set out his vision for Britain outside the EU; a key criticism of the "Leave" campaigns has been that they have been unable to outline exactly what Britain would look like if it broke with Europe.
A vote to leave, Gove will say, would be a "galvanising, liberating, empowering moment of patriotic renewal."
Gove will also hit out at his own government for its inability to reduce net migration to the U.K. despite a pledge to do so, saying that a 200-page dossier warning of dangers of Brexit published yesterday by Britain's treasury includes an acknowledgement that immigration will continue to rise.
"The report from the Treasury is an official admission from the in campaign that if we vote to stay in the EU then immigration will to continue to increase by hundreds of thousands year on year," Gove will say, according to The Guardian.
Gove is one of five Conservative Party cabinet ministers campaigning for a Brexit vote in the referendum on June 23.
