Downing A Drone To Protect Privacy Is Now Officially Labeled "Criminal Mischief"
TOPICS:Civil LibertiesConstitutionDronesJoe WrightLegal
By Joe Wright
As hobby drones continue to proliferate across the United States and commercial applications rise, the rules about drone use remain murky, as do the penalties for downing them if you feel your privacy is being threatened.
So far we have seen a push by the FAA to impose mandatory drone registration that requires owners of any drone weighing more than 250 grams to ID their aircraft and provide personal contact information so that quick action can be taken in the case of violations. However, this is being done mainly to protect government institutions, federal airspace and of course to address the ubiquitous threat of terrorism.
Meanwhile, a range of penalties has been applied to the few individuals who have managed to bring down drones in both public and private space; from jail time in the case of a man who took down a drone with his T-shirt at a California beach, to a 65-year-old Pennsylvania woman who hit her neighbor's drone with a rock, destroying it – she was forced to pay $600 in damages, but was cleared of "criminal mischief." A Kentucky man who took more serious action and used a shotgun to blast his neighbor's drone out of the sky, was arrested, but also was eventually cleared of criminal mischief and first-degree endangerment.
One case that has still been pending is for New Jersey resident, Russell Percenti. He was actually the first ever to be arrested for downing a drone and was indicted by a grand jury; he was facing more than 5 years in jail for his use of a shotgun to take down a drone that hovered near his house. Again, "criminal mischief" was the charge, as well as a weapons offense.
It appears that Percenti's 2014 case has finally reached a resolution and might have wider precedent-setting implications.
In a short announcement from the Associated Press, Percenti has now admitted to the charge of criminal mischief and will escape his lengthy jail sentence in favor of probation.
Perhaps most troubling, is that Percenti still seems to be asserting that "he was trying to protect his family's privacy." However, facing an inordinate length of time for that infraction, he has capitulated and put on the record that it is now an act of criminal mischief to do so.
I certainly don't wish to impugn the moral compass of Mr. Percenti, as it is the justice system and due process itself where the questions should ultimately lay, but this certainly would seem to open the door to empowering the State against future citizens who will not abide by this type of threat to their person or property. It would be wise to keep a close eye on how future cases are addressed to see if a new trend emerges.
Have you seen low-flying drones out in public where you live, or flying over your private property? Have you read any other stories of people being arrested for shooting down drones in your state? Please leave details in the comment section.

Use an old microwave oven's microwave generator and build a microwave gun. If a drone invades your privacy, use the microwave on the drone to destroy it. Hide the microwave gun and plead ignorance when asked what happened to their drone. For higher flying drones, you can couple several microwave units together and have a parabolic dish focus the energy to act at a distance in an "effective" way.

I have a solution. Use an old microwave oven's microwave generator and build a microwave gun. If a drone invades your privacy, use the microwave on the drone to destroy it.

This is a legal no brainer. The FAA owns the air. Period. You may hate that. You may wish it were different. Congress could change the law even. But today the FAA owns the air.
Destruction of private property is a crime. it has always been a crime going back centuries in English common law.
Firing a gun into a populated area is inherently dangerous. Every armed idiot says "Oh my shotgun blast was straight up at that drone that was 3 feet over my 14 year old naked sun bathing daughter". That is a simple lie, until you say it in court then of course it it perjury. The maniac in Kentucky was particularly egregious because there was telemetry showing everything he said was a lie. But hey, Kentucky. They aren't the butt of jokes in Mississippi and Arkansas for no reason!
It is wonderful to see the wheels of justice start grinding up these red neck vigilantes. Hopefully soon one of them will go to federal prison for 5 years and that will put an end to it – before they kill someone!

Not "Period" at all. That's only what the FAA claims to be true. Your "legal no brainer" has not been decided in a court yet and probably won't be until a small plane sucks a drone into its engines and goes down, killing the passengers and a serious lawsuit (versus frivolous "My nervous chickens!" "My naked daughter!") forces the issue. Let's all hope you keep your drone from killing anyone.

All airspace from the surface to 60,000 feet is classified under international law. All airspace over parts of the planet that are subject to the governance of the US Federal Government is under absolute regulation by the FAA. Also, any airspace not classified as something else (A thru E) is (once again by international law) Class G airspace. [The US does not have any class F airspace].
The fact that the FAA has not been eager to insert itself into this mess doesn't change the fact that Congress gave them unlimited power over it. There is no legal exception at all. For anything.
If you want to put a TV antenna in your back yard the only reason you can do that is because the FAA has specifically written regulations saying you can. Incidentally if your antenna is over 200 feet tall it will have additional FAA regulation and you ignore them at risk of serious legal consequences.

Thank you for taking the time to educate me. I did look into this a bit before writing my comment, but not all that much since I don't really care about drones particularly and I certainly don't intend to buy one. What is bothersome is that our government thinks it owns everything, including the air we breath and the water we drink and use to grow the nation's food. Recently the mayor of a town in the state where I live sold the town's water supply to Cargill. He had no right to do this and now the town has to buy it back at a much higher price than it sold it for. This kind of bureaucratic malfeasance makes me spit bullets.
Anyway, don't be too hard on the rednecks, they're just protecting the government's air.
Richard Wahd | February 18, 2016 at 9:34 am |
I thought the Nestles company owns the water beneath american soil – guess I stand corrected!
OldeSoul | February 18, 2016 at 10:17 am |
Ya, I thought that too. They have basically privatized the water supply and it's for sale to the highest bidder, including the water that drops out of the FAA's air. How much bottled water was sold to the people of Flint, MI? I guess the next gambit will be selling air and we'll have to pay to breath it. Be a cutting edge oligarch, start an air bottling company today!

The government owns nothing I/we do not consent to.
They regulate by the consent of the person- that is the law.
Just because they make one of those fake laws, does not make it so. Again- By what authority do they make laws? By consent of those governed.

POS terry defending the "rights" of some to spy on others. There is a separate justice for POS like terry.

In the case of Percenti…it shows how our gov't. is working overtime to step on the "individual" and their rights. Had the drone been around a gov't. building and a "gov't. agent" shot it down…even in the midst of a highly populated city, endangering the lives of citizens…he would be hailed as a hero, mostly likely.

inalienable right
noun – a right according to natural law, a right that cannot be taken away, denied, or transferred.
This is precedent over any man made law.

The whole corrupt system works on our consent. This man was fraudulently coerced into consenting to avoid imprisonment. It is our consent (assumed to be given freely until challenged) that keeps the corruption growing. A plea deal is definitely consent–consent that eventually supports the courts assumptions and the circle is complete. The biggest "trick" is no longer informing us of the cause of the charges against us. The court gets to presume we know the cause because we were there. Here's the trick, we are pleading to their cause which includes our intent to commit the crimes charged. Imagine what would happen if you stood firm in court (because you are truly innocent) that they must inform you of the cause–this means give you enough information to understand (stand under) the charges and you keep repeating there was no intent to commit a crime and no one was harmed so this is a bogus cause and no one can enter a competent plea on a bogus cause. When the judge tries to enter a plea for you just remind the judge it is on the record that its his understanding of the cause not yours so he will have to defend his own incompetent plea. The next biggest trick is appointing a lawyer to represent you. We have the right to assistance of counsel. Representation is for those who are incompetent. Even though you are perfectly competent once a representative is assigned you just lost your voice. You are silenced and I guarantee the lawyer is going to go with the flow and not represent you. But, since the court is the only one that can fire the representative you are screwed because the lawyer gave your consent away. Stand firm on your dual rights to represent yourself and to have assistance of counsel specifically not representation. Wait for the judge to spout his/her nonsense about how good it is to have a lawyer and simply respond. "Yes, as you say, the system requires expertise to navigate these days which puts it out of reach of ordinary people and outside of our constitutional consent. I move for dismissal."
I and two associates were arrested last year and jailed for peacefully attempting to read a redress of grievance to our district court judge before court was put in session. There is a basis for the information I am sharing with you.

If there was a certain person with his own drone and a few of those hacked green laser pointers – he could quite possibly conduct some drone vs. drone warfare. But even better yet, if there was a team of drone hobbyists with the lasers on them – and they all ganged up on a chemtrail plane – oh imagine the possibilities!!! Now if there were groups of these electronics hobbyists in all 48 continental states as well as Hawaii & Alaska, aw heck, let's include the hobbyists in Canada and Mexico! Oh the possibilities! Green laser pointers hurt cams? You don't say! *enormous grin*

Die Evangelisch-Lutherische Landeskirche Mecklenburgs war zwischen 1945 und 1969 und wieder von 1991 bis 2012 eine der Gliedkirchen (Landeskirchen) der Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland (EKD). Wie alle Landeskirchen war sie eine Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts mit Sitz in Schwerin. Die Kirche hatte 193.000 Gemeindeglieder (Stand: Februar 2011) in 270 Kirchgemeinden (mecklenburgische Bezeichnung für Kirchengemeinde). Bischofskirche der Landeskirche war der Dom in Schwerin. Zu Pfingsten 2012 ging sie gemeinsam mit der bisherigen Pommerschen Evangelischen Kirche sowie der Nordelbischen Kirche in der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche in Norddeutschland ("Nordkirche") auf. Der Fusionsvertrag vom 5. Februar 2009 war bereits am 28. März 2009 von der mecklenburgischen Landessynode in Plau am See mit 39 von 56 Stimmen angenommen worden. In der vereinigten Kirche bildet das Gebiet den Kirchenkreis Mecklenburg.

Die Evangelisch-Lutherische Landeskirche Mecklenburgs war eine der lutherischen Kirchen innerhalb der EKD. Sie war Gliedkirche der Vereinigten Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche Deutschlands (VELKD). Sie gehörte zum Lutherischen Weltbund (LWB), zum Ökumenischen Rat der Kirchen (ÖRK) und zur Gemeinschaft Evangelischer Kirchen in Europa (GEKE). Vertraglich verbundene Partnerkirchen waren die Diözese Lichfield der Kirche von England, die Ohio-Synod der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche in den USA und die Evangelisch-Lutherische Kirche in der Republik Kasachstan. Enge partnerschaftliche Beziehungen bestanden außerdem zur Evangelischen Kirche Augsburgischen Bekenntnisses in Rumänien und zur Pare-Diözese der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche in Tansania.

Die Landeskirche unterhielt zunächst die Mecklenburgische Evangelische Akademie in Rostock, bevor 1998 diese fusionierte mit der Evangelischen Akademie Greifswald der pommerschen Landeskirche zur Evangelischen Akademie Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Rostock.

Gebiet der Landeskirche
Das Gebiet der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Landeskirche Mecklenburgs umfasste das ehemalige Land Mecklenburg, das seit der Vereinigung des Freistaats Mecklenburg-Strelitz mit dem Freistaat Mecklenburg-Schwerin von 1934 bis 1945 bestand. Heute bildet das Gebiet mit Vorpommern das Land Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Einige Gemeinden der Landeskirche gehörten auch zu den Ländern Niedersachsen, Schleswig-Holstein und Brandenburg.

Geschichte

Nach dem Sieg Heinrichs des Löwen 1160 über die Obotriten und nach der Verlegung des gleichfalls 1160 wiederbegründeten Bistums Mecklenburg nach Schwerin (zwischen 1160 und 1170) begann seit der Mitte des 12. Jahrhunderts die Christianisierung Mecklenburgs. Erster Bischof von Schwerin wurde 1166 der Zisterziensermönch Berno. 1171 wurde der erste Schweriner Dom  geweiht. Kurz vor dem Einsetzen der Reformation um 1500 lebten in Mecklenburg etwa 1800 Pfarrer und Vikare und 500 Mönche bei 130.000 Einwohnern.

Die Reformation hielt in Mecklenburg ab 1523 unter den Herzögen Heinrich V. (1503) und Albrecht VII. (1503 bis 1547) Einzug, ohne dass es zu einer obrigkeitlich verordneten Durchführung kam. Die lutherische Prägung war dabei vorherrschend. Zu den bekanntesten Predigern gehörte Joachim Slüter (um 1490 bis 1532) als Kaplan der Rostocker Petrikirche. Spätestens seit dem von Johann Albrecht I. einberufenen Landtag an der Sagsdorfer Warnowbrücke (20. Juni 1549), der das von Kaiser Karl V. diktierte Augsburger Interim ablehnte, bekannte sich ganz Mecklenburg zur lutherischen Lehre. Später gab es auch eine reformierte Gemeinde in Bützow. Diese blieb bis heute selbständig und gehört nicht zur Landeskirche. 1552 erließ die Regierung eine eigene Kirchenordnung, die nach Zustimmung der vereinten Landstände die Grundlage für eine eigenständige Landeskirche bildete und sie auf eine feste rechtliche Grundlage stellte. Mit dem Erlass der Superintendentenordnung im Januar 1571 wurde die Landeskirche durch die Bildung der Kirchenkreise Wismar, Güstrow, Parchim, Schwerin, Rostock und Neubrandenburg neu strukturiert. 1701 wurde Mecklenburg in die beiden (Teil-)Herzogtümer Mecklenburg-Schwerin und Mecklenburg-Strelitz aufgeteilt. Von 1775 bis 1910 bestand ein Konsistorium in Rostock. 1850 wurde für Mecklenburg-Schwerin ein Oberkirchenrat eingesetzt. Ab 1901 gab es ein Predigerseminar in Schwerin unter der Leitung von Ernst Haack. Für Mecklenburg-Strelitz bestand ebenfalls ein Konsistorium, zuletzt mit Sitz in Neustrelitz, und führte ab 1909 ebenfalls die Bezeichnung Oberkirchenrat.

Oberhaupt (Leiter) der Kirche(n) waren seit der Reformation bis 1918 die jeweiligen Regenten (Herzöge, Großherzöge) beider mecklenburgischer Landesteile als summus episcopus. In Mecklenburg-Schwerin übten sie die geistliche Oberaufsicht durch sieben ernannte Superintendenten in den Superintendenturen Schwerin, Wismar, Güstrow, Rostock, Doberan, Parchim und Malchin aus. In Mecklenburg-Strelitz gab es eine Superintendentur, die bis Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts in Neubrandenburg bestand und dann in die neu gegründete Residenzstadt Neustrelitz verlegt wurde.

Nach dem Wegfall des landesherrlichen Kirchenregiments kam es 1921 zu einem Neuaufbau der Landeskirchen. Sie gaben sich 1921 Verfassungen mit einem von der Landessynode gewählten Landesbischof. Zum Jahreswechsel 1933/34 vereinigten sich beide Landeskirchen wieder zur Evangelisch-Lutherischen Landeskirche Mecklenburgs.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg trat die Evangelisch-Lutherische Landeskirche Mecklenburgs der neu gegründeten Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland (EKD) bei und war Mitbegründerin der VELKD. 1969 trat die Landeskirche aus der EKD aus und gründete mit den anderen Landeskirchen im Gebiet der DDR und von Berlin (Ost) den Bund der Evangelischen Kirchen in der DDR. 1991 trat die Landeskirche wieder der EKD bei.

Ebenso wie viele andere Landeskirchen wollte sich auch Mecklenburg nach der Bewältigung der unmittelbaren Nachkriegszeit in den fünfziger Jahren eine neue Verfassung geben. Diese sollte den Gemeinden größere Mitbestimmung ermöglichen, den Kirchenkreis durch die Einrichtung von Kirchenkreissynoden zu einer echten Mittelinstanz ausbauen und Leitung und Verwaltung durch die Einrichtung einer synodalen Kirchenleitung trennen.

Nach dem 1957 beschlossenen Entwurf dieser Verfassung sollte der Landesbischof weder Teil des Konsistoriums noch der Synode sein, sondern neben dem Bischofsamt lediglich den Vorsitz in der Kirchenleitung führen.

Der Staat legte jedoch 1958 Einspruch gegen die Verkündung dieser Verfassung ein, so dass diese nie in Kraft getreten ist. Da auch in Mecklenburg der Bedarf nach Veränderung der kirchlichen Strukturen aber weiter bestand, hat die mecklenburgische Kirche in den folgenden Jahren verfassungsähnliche Regelungen für die Prozesse und Strukturen auf allen Ebenen der Landeskirche getroffen und in Leitungsgesetzen, die mit verfassungsändernder Zweidrittelmehrheit beschlossen wurden, geregelt. Die neuen Regelungen in den jeweiligen Leitungsgesetzen setzen jeweils die entsprechenden Bestimmungen der Verfassung von 1921 außer Kraft und regeln die betreffenden Gegenstände selbst.

Leitung der Landeskirche
An der Spitze der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Landeskirche Mecklenburgs stand der Landesbischof, der geistliche Leiter der Kirche. Er wurde von der Landessynode für eine Amtszeit von zwölf Jahren gewählt und war Vorsitzender der ebenfalls von der Synode gewählten Kirchenleitung.

Landesbischöfe seit 1921
 1921–1933: Gerhard Tolzien (Mecklenburg-Strelitz)
 1921–1930: Heinrich Behm (Mecklenburg-Schwerin)
 1930–1934: Heinrich Rendtorff (zunächst Landesbischof Mecklenburg-Schwerins, ab 1933 der vereinigten Kirche)
 1934–1945: Walther Schultz

 2007–2012: Andreas von Maltzahn, anschließend gemeinsam mit Hans-Jürgen Abromeit bis 2019 Bischof im Sprengel Mecklenburg und Pommern der Ev.-Luth. Kirche in Norddeutschland

Landessynode
Als gesetzgebende Körperschaft hatte die Landeskirche eine Landessynode. Deren Mitglieder, die Synodalen, wurden auf sechs Jahre zu etwa zwei Drittel von den Kirchenältesten der Kirchgemeinden gewählt. Die anderen wurden von der Kirchenleitung, der Synode selbst und vom Konvent der Landessuperintendenten gewählt. Die Aufgabe der Synode ähnelte der von politischen Parlamenten. Sie tagte in der Regel zweimal jährlich. Vorsitzender der Synode war der Präses, früher der Präsident der Landessynode. Die Wahlen zur verfassungsgebenden Landessynode der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche von Mecklenburg-Schwerin fanden 1921 statt. Sie wurde am 15. April 1921 eröffnet. Nach der Vereinigung der beiden mecklenburgischen Kirchen 1934 trug die Synode die Bezeichnung "Landessynode der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Landeskirche Mecklenburgs".

Präsidenten und Präsides der Landessynode ab 1921:
 1921–1933: Adolf Langfeld (1854–1939)
 1933–1945: Theodor Klaehn (1883–1963)
 1946–1952: Friedrich Stratmann (1875–1952)
 1952–1965: Albrecht Hachtmann (1901–1965)
 1965–1970: Hilde Lewerenz (* 1910)
 1970–1988: Siegfried Wahrmann (1918–1996)

 1994–2006: Heiner Möhring (* 1941)
 2006–2008: Hans-Joachim Seel (* 1951)
 2008–2012: Heiner Möhring (* 1941)
 2012–: Christoph de Boor (* 1961)

Verwaltung der Landeskirche

Oberkirchenrat und Verwaltungshierarchie
Der Oberkirchenrat in Schwerin, der das Kollegium und die Mitarbeiter der Landeskirche umfasste, führte die laufenden Geschäfte. Er war für die Verwaltungsangelegenheiten zuständig und führte im Auftrag der Kirchenleitung die Dienstaufsicht über die Gemeinden, Kirchenkreise und kirchlichen Amtsträger. Leiter des Oberkirchenrats war ein Präsident (bis 1996 immer ein Jurist), der von der Landessynode auf zwölf Jahre gewählt wurde. Zum Kollegium gehörten neben dem Präsidenten weitere Oberkirchenräte und der Landesbischof.

Oberkirchenratspräsidenten:
 1855–1886: Friedrich Kaysel (1808–1895)
 1886–1894: Theodor Kliefoth (1810–1895)
 1894–1923: Adolf Giese (1852–1923)
 1923–1924: Gottfried Bierstedt (1853–1924)
 1925–1934: Emil Lemcke (1870–1946)
 1934–1945: Hermann Schmidt zur Nedden (1893–1973)
 1946–1959: Gustav Spangenberg (1884–1972)
 1959–1970: Konrad Müller (1900–1977)
 1970–1975: Siegfried Rossmann (1917–1975)
 1975–1976: Johann-Georg Schill (1908–1988)
 1977–1994: Peter Müller (* 1939)
 1994–1996: Menno Aden (* 1942)
 1996–2002: (amtierend) Eckart Schwerin (1937–2009)
 2001–2012: (amtierend) Andreas Flade (* 1950)

Der Landesbischof war Vorsitzender der Kirchenleitung ("Regierung" der Kirche). Zu dieser gehörten, neben dem Bischof, der Präses der Synode und fünf weitere Synodale, der Präsident des Oberkirchenrats, drei weitere Oberkirchenräte sowie ein Landessuperintendent.

In der Verwaltungshierarchie war die Landeskirche von unten nach oben wie folgt aufgebaut:
 An der Basis standen die Kirchgemeinden als Körperschaften des öffentlichen Rechts mit gewählten Kirchenvorständen, dem "Kirchgemeinderat". Die Mitglieder dieses Gremiums hießen "Kirchenälteste".
 Mehrere Kirchgemeinden bildeten zusammen eine Propstei (in der allgemeinen Verwaltung einem Landkreis vergleichbar), an dessen Spitze ein Propst stand. Die Propsteien hatten als Gremium die Propsteisynode, deren Mitglieder von den jeweiligen Kirchengemeinderäten bestellt wurden.
 Mehrere Propsteien bildeten zusammen einen Kirchenkreis (in der allgemeinen Verwaltung einem Regierungsbezirk vergleichbar), dem ein Landessuperintendent vorstand. Ihm stand der Kirchenkreisrat zur Seite. Die fünf Kirchenkreise waren Körperschaften des öffentlichen Rechts und bildeten zusammen die Landeskirche (in der allgemeinen Verwaltung dem Bundesland vergleichbar).

Kirchenkreise und Propsteien
Die Kirchenkreise wurden von Landessuperintendenten geleitet, die in Rostock, Wismar, Güstrow, Parchim und Neustrelitz (Kirchenkreis Stargard) ihren Sitz hatten. Vom Jahr 2012 an befand sich die zentrale Kirchenkreisverwaltung in Schwerin, in Güstrow und Neubrandenburg gab es Außenstellen. Die vormals eigenen Verwaltungen der fünf Kirchenkreise wurden schrittweise zusammengeführt.

 Kirchenkreis Rostock
 Propstei Bad Doberan
 Propstei Rostock
 Propstei Ribnitz-Sanitz
 Kirchenkreis Wismar
 Propstei Bukow
 Propstei Crivitz
 Propstei Gadebusch
 Propstei Grevesmühlen
 Propstei Schwerin-Land
 Propstei Schwerin-Stadt
 Propstei Sternberg
 Propstei Wismar
 Kirchenkreis Güstrow
 Propstei Bützow
 Propstei Güstrow
 Propstei Gnoien
 Propstei Krakow/Malchin
 Propstei Müritz
 Kirchenkreis Parchim
 Propstei Boizenburg/Wittenburg
 Propstei Hagenow
 Propstei Ludwigslust-Dömitz
 Propstei Parchim
 Kirchenkreis Stargard
 Propstei Friedland
 Propstei Neubrandenburg
 Propstei Stargard
 Propstei Stavenhagen
 Propstei Strelitz

Kirchgemeinden
Die 26 Propsteien waren in 270 Kirchgemeinden (Bezeichnung der Kirchengemeinden in der Landeskirche Mecklenburgs) unterteilt.

Amt für Gemeindedienst
Das Amt für Gemeindedienst der Landeskirche Mecklenburg war zuständig für Beratung und Begleitung der Gemeinden. In ihm wurden Fragestellungen und verschiedenste Arbeitsfelder wie beispielsweise Religionsunterricht für Erwachsene, Glaubenskurse, Besuchsdienste und andere Bereiche bearbeitet. Im Amt für Gemeindedienst wurden Materialien auf- und Vorbereitet und den Gemeinden sowie den in der Kirche Beschäftigten zur Verfügung gestellt. Das Amt wurde von Landespastor Christian Höser geleitet. Der Dienstsitz lag am Domplatz in Güstrow.

Gesangbücher
Die Gemeinden der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Landeskirche Mecklenburgs sangen in den letzten Jahrzehnten vor allem aus folgenden Gesangbüchern:

 Mecklenburgisches Kirchengesangbuch, eingeführt mit Genehmigung des herzoglichen Consistorii zu Rostock im Jahre 1764 sowie neue verbesserte Ausgabe mit Anhang von 50 "Geistlichen Liedern", eingeführt im März 1905
 Neues Mecklenburgisches Gesangbuch nebst einem Anhange von Gebeten, wie auch Evangelien und Episteln mit Großherzoglich Allergnäd. Special-Privilegio, eingeführt 1794

Order In The Nursery "Cause + Effect"
Order In The Nursery "Era"
"We are never aware of a cause in the creative process until it becomes an effect."
A unique collection of specially commissioned and exclusive remixes of material from throughout In The Nursery's 20 year back catalogue. Contributing artists include - Faith & The Muse, Attrition, Assemblage 23, And Also The Trees, Chandeen, Haujobb, Electronium, Flesh Field, Ivan Iusco & Seize. 'Cause + Effect' is intended to highlight the interactive, inspirational and motivating nature of music. IN THE NURSERY include their own special interpretation of the classic Joy Division track 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'.
PRESS INFO:
Flesh Field (Ian Ross)
"The reasons I decided to remix ITN's classic track 'A Rebours' were due mainly to the epic orchestral intro. I wanted to take their use of orchestra and blend it with our own style, as well as with our more electronic based elements.
I felt the track had mass club potential if a steady and more prominent beat were added in combination with the cinematic feeling it already possessed. Through the distinct fusion of both of our artistic approaches, I hoped to take 'A Rebours' to a new level almost soundtrack in nature and feeling. I thoroughly enjoyed working on the remix and thank ITN for the great opportunity."
Faith & The Muse (William Faith)
"I was honoured to be asked along for this project, as I've loved and respected ITN's work for many years.
'Angelorum' was the perfect song for me to remix; I felt right at home with their arrangement and orchestration, but saw space for additional beat and percussion elements, and I feel the addition of Monica's vocal contribution definitely sealed our mark on it. I think the remix represents a meeting of our two worlds, and I am pleased to have documented it."
Chandeen (Harald Lцwy)
"I think one of the reasons I always liked this song is the great composition and the epic style. My intention was to maintain the atmosphere and emphasize some of its beauty."
And Also the Trees (Justin Jones)
"AATT folk will be suprised and pleased to hear the resurrection of the mandolin guitar style I haven't used for nearly a decade - I got death threats when I abandoned this style. I used it here mainly because it was sympathetic with the track but also I took 'Duality' on tour with me after the first tour ITN and AATT did together in 1992 and listened to "Corruption" on headphones before we went on stage. At the time I used a lot of this style guitar on the album we were touring - 'Green is the Sea'."
Assemblage 23 (Tom Shear)
"I wanted to take this in a much different direction than the original, so in contrast to the bombastic, swelling orchestral sounds, I opted for a sparser, more ambient feel."
a_robot (Alejandro Prieto)
"This 're-make' is almost a song by itself - more than just based on the original, I see it like a kind of 'response' to it. Since the beginning I've seen this project as my return to music creation, the other activity that makes up my life besides architecture. So this is the 'Cause & Effect' that In The Nursery has created on my project."
Haujobb (Daniel Myer)
"I just uploaded my remix. It`s a bit crunchy, maybe because I am in construction city Boston right now - pretty industrial"
Electronium (Mike Brown)
"My first exposure to ITN was around 1984 or '85. I had just come back from a year in Europe & a friend of mine had this compilation LP titled, 'From Torture to Conscience'. After hearing those tracks, I picked up any ITN release I could find over the next couple of years.
When presented with the opportunity to remix an ITN track, I was both honoured and ecstatic about the possibilities. With such a monumental catalog of releases, it was somewhat difficult to pick a track to work on. Ultimately, I chose 'Chronicle', specifically because of a few elements in the song, which I had some ideas about.
After reading (& crudely translating) the lyrics, I wanted to create an atmosphere that reflected the tension & underlying imminent danger, which Dolores Margarite C. alludes to... but perhaps to more of an extreme.
Nearly all of the sonic elements in the remix are derived from the sounds within the original track. One exception being the eerie, theremin-like sound at the end, which was performed on my Hewlett-Packard model 205AG signal generator. This piece of equipment was used as the sound source for the RCA MkII synthesizer at Columbia-Princeton University, which was built in the 1950s. It's one of my favourite pieces of gear & I used to play it at live shows with my band, Cafe Noire, during the '80s."
Seize (Sandrine Gouriou)
"We are very pleased to know that you all like the remix, it was a great challenge for us, had lots of fun doing and can't wait to hear them all.
The style of the remix is (if we need to label it) Breakbeat, mid-way between Two-steps and Drum and bass, we've been listening to a lot of different style since we've been making music, but we adore drum and bass loops!!"

A Disney Christmas: So Much Excite!
It is officially 3 Days until we leave for Disney! There are so many new and exciting things that are opening and happening right now in the Disney World atmosphere that I am excited about! BUT! I have decided to NOT go and watch the videos on YouTube or read the articles because I want to see it first hand when I go this coming weekend!
My morning routine is to check on my Disney sites and see what's new and up and coming in the world of Disney so that I can share it with all of you! Well I have officially banned myself from those sites for the past two weeks! I still see the twitter updates so I know what's going on but I don't know the details!
I am so ready to check out Star Wars Launch Bay! So far my night for MVMCP has not been sold out so I'm hoping it still won't be so we can have a sort of slight crowd. But one could wish right? The December 11th party night is sold out and we plan on being at EPCOT that night, so I hope the crowds aren't too big so we can get a good view! AND I am really hoping for a soft opening for the Skipper Canteen Restaurant at Magic Kingdom, but fingers crossed!
We were really hoping for a cold front to come through while we are on our trip, but it looks like we won't be so lucky! Our weather here in Mobile, AL is pretty similar to what it is in Orlando so we'll be ready for the cool morning, so very hot middle of the day and a chilly night!
I am so ready to experience the Osborne Lights, MVMCP and all of the Christmas decorations first hand for the first time! I can't tell you how many times I've watched videos on all of it to get ready for my trip! But now I am ready to go and see it for myself!
I will post a post trip blog or blogs of pictures and how everything went and my opinions on everything! Stay Tuned! I will also be posting YouTube Videos on both of my channels!!

Get your game notes: Capitals at Penguins
By Mike HalfordJan 15, 2014, 10:26 AM EST
Tonight on NBCSN, it's the Pittsburgh Penguins hosting the Washington Capitals, starting at 8 p.m. ET. Following are some game notes, as compiled by the NHL on NBC research team:
• The Penguins enter tonight's game having defeated the Capitals in five straight meetings. Their last loss to the Caps came over two years ago (Jan. 11, 2012), when current backup Tomas Vokoun (currently on injured reserve) outdueled Marc-Andre Fleury, 1-0. Jason Chimera scored the game's only goal.
• The Penguins have won 12 straight home games, a streak that began exactly two months ago (Nov. 15). If they defeat the Capitals tonight at CONSOL Energy Center, the Pens will set a new franchise record, breaking their mark from last season (Feb. 22-Mar. 30, 2013). Of the NHL's six home win streaks of 10+ games in the NHL since the beginning of the 2011-12 season, three belong to Pittsburgh.
• The NHL's top goal-scorer Alex Ovechkin (33) and point-getter Sidney Crosby (67) will face each other for the 34th time since they joined the league in 2005-06. Here is a composite of their 33 previous head-to-head meetings, including the 2009 Eastern Conference Semifinal.
Goals | Assists | Points | Wins
Ovechkin 25 21 46 12
Crosby 23 35 58 21
• The Penguins (25.2%) and Capitals (25.0%) boast the top two power plays in the NHL, and all six of the league's players who have been on the ice for at least 29 of their teams' power play goals represent the Pens or Caps. (Elias Sports Bureau)
Team PPG | Individual PPG (NHL rank) | Individual PPP (NHL rank)
Sidney Crosby 36 3 (T-90th) 23 (T-2nd)
Alex Ovechkin 36 12 (1st) 23 (T-2nd)
Nicklas Backstrom 33 3 (T-90th) 26 (1st)
Troy Brouwer 32 5 (T-30th) 11 (T-54th)
Chris Kunitz 32 11 (2nd) 18 (T-10th)
Evgeni Malkin 29 3 (T-90th) 19 (T-7th)
• Heading into tonight's game, injuries have cost the Penguins an NHL-high 279 man-games (51 more than 2nd-ranked Anaheim). Only seven Pens have suited up in all 47 games: forwards Sidney Crosby, Chris Kunitz, Jussi Jokinen, Brandon Sutter and Craig Adams, defenseman Matt Niskanen and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury (who has started 37 games and backed up in 10).
• The Penguins have three of the NHL's top four scorers, in terms of points per game average.
Games played | Points | Points/game
Sidney Crosby 47 67 1.43
Steven Stamkos 17 23 1.35
James Neal 27 36 1.33
Evgeni Malkin 36 46 1.28
• The Capitals have played past regulation in an NHL-high 18 games this season, including an NHL-high 14 shootouts. The Caps' 10 non-regulation wins and eight shootout wins are both tied for the league lead. However, they are winless in their past five OT/SO games since their last win on Dec. 15.

Genesis have built a solid reputation for well-designed and equipped bikes in a relatively short time. A lot of that reputation is based on their well-regarded but slightly niche steel hardtails, but Genesis also have the mainstream-friendly aluminium Core range – same geometry, but a little cheaper.
The 20 is second from bottom in the range. On paper it doesn't look all that compelling, particularly as it's a pound or two heavier than many other bikes at this price. But some of that extra heft goes into a sturdier fork. Mix that with a fun, chuckable ride and solid spec elsewhere and the Genesis wins you over with its sheer joie de vivre.
Genesis have nailed their colours firmly to the 'trail hardtail' mast with the Core 20. It's the classic UK-style long-forked hardtail and as such is a fun, versatile bike. The Core weighs nearly 30lb but you wouldn't know to ride it. The light wheels and reasonably fast-rolling tyres make for plenty of get-up-and-go, while the handling virtually insists that you chuck the Genesis around a bit – it's a hoot on all sorts of trails.
The RockShox Tora fork is definitely a bonus at this price. It's an entry-level fork but it's stout and effective (if you ignore the gasping noises). On a bike like the Core, which encourages a direct approach, a robust fork is a valuable ally. It's certainly worth sacrificing a notch of groupset hierarchy for, and it's not as if the Core's Shimano Alivio kit is noticeably less smooth than Deore anyway.
If you're a fan of the race-style bike then the Genesis may not suit you, and on paper there's better value to be had elsewhere. But the Core is great fun to ride. Upgrade the transmission bits as they wear out and you'll be set for a long time to come.
While most of the bike industry have gone hydroforming mad, Genesis have played it straight with the Core frame. Front-end tube manipulations are limited to a bit of gentle ovalising and tapering, which is fine by us – there's not much wrong with a good old round tube. The Core's 6061 pipes are butted, and Genesis uses different wall thicknesses and butting profiles on different sizes.
Tidy open-ended gussets add strength to the front end. The head tube's also something of an anti-fashion statement, taking a conventional headset rather than the now-commonplace semi-integrated design. Again, no complaints from us there. Bosses for a Crud Catcher-style mudguard lurk under the down tube, and the test bike arrived with a Cycraguard mudguard already mounted. A forward-facing seat clamp slot is another mud-friendly feature.
The back end of the Core frame contains its most distinctive features. The stays are triangular in section, presenting a flat face towards the tyre for maximum tyre clearance – there's plenty of room around the 2.2in treads fitted. They're also gently curved, with the top of the seatstays being welded together to form a wishbone arrangement.
There are theoretical stiffness benefits to this design, but the fact that it looks good is perhaps at least as significant. Cables are routed traditionally, with the brake hose along the top tube and gear cables taking the most direct route under the down tube.
On paper, most of the stuff bolted to the Core is a notch (or two) down from that found on other bikes at this price. But Genesis have done exactly what much of the competition would benefit from – they've put most of the component budget into the important stuff, such as a better fork and wheel package, and the transmission parts (which wear out and get replaced anyway) get whatever cash is left over.
So it's mostly Shimano Alivio in the transmission department (although the rear mech gets a bump to Deore), but in return you get a coil-sprung RockShox Tora fork that's a substantial step up from the cheaper Dart. The Tora's better chassis stiffness means less binding. The TurnKey damping circuit is on the noisy side, but it works and you get a lockout.
Reliable Shimano hubs are laced to Alex rims and shod with Continental Mountain King 2.2 tyres. The Mountain Kings roll fast and offer a decent amount of cushioning, but the tread favours firm/intermediate conditions and can get a bit sketchy on wet ground.
Ever-reliable Shimano M445 brakes bring things to a controlled halt and offer good feel and plenty of control, if not tons of stopping power. The finishing kit is all Genesis-branded stuff that does the job, with a suitably on-trend short stem/wide bar combo and a 27.2mm seatpost for a hint of bum-saving flex.

Best Weight Loss Camp for New Jersey Families!
Looking for the best weight loss camp for your New Jersey child?
Looking for the best weight loss camp in New Jersey? While located close to New Jersey, at Camp Pocono Trails, New Jersey Teens are investing in developing the skills they need to succeed. Regardless of the focus of the camp: weight management, tech addiction, or behavioral issues, we've all noticed that therapeutic based programs seem to help bring focus into many areas of the campers life. Our licensed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) counselors and social workers will address any issue that relates to your teen's journey to improving their self-image.
New Jersey teens reap the benefits when they go to Camp Pocono Trails in PA for the summer. While parents often call us and ask for help in one particular area, such as gaming addiction, when they pick up their child they find that their child is different in several ways. Kids that may have been introverts have had many opportunities to make friends at Camp Pocono Trails. In today's technology driven world teens can easily get caught up in a circle of feeling awkward and isolated, and this can result in self-esteem that is spiraling downward. At Camp Pocono Trails, they will come back to New Jersey with more pride in their appearance. They may even go out on a limb and participate in a talent show or performance. This is the place where we break the negativity cycle and create healthy habits that last.
New Jersey teens discover that it is a powerful message to children when their parents invest time and money to help them make healthy changes. Sending them to summer camp shows them that they are important and that you care about their future. This may sound ridiculous, of course all parents care about their kids, but in today's world we cannot express it enough.
Your New Jersey teen may bring up the stubborn argument, "But all my friends are online!" This may be true because in today's technology driven world most teenagers do meet online or on their iPhones, but not at Camp Pocono Trails. The value of fun, laughter, and finding common interests with their peers will form lasting friendships.
Our staff helps bridge any awkwardness on that first day and we often see strong friendships blossom within just a day or two.
Okay, how many of us have heard this one before? We take away the Xbox or Smartphone, we take away our child's social lifeline. As parents, we need to be the voice of reason here. Yes, it may be true that "all my friends" are playing on the Xbox, but why not take a break and go outside and make some new friends? The longer we let this cycle continue, the harder the cycle will be to break as social-skill building opportunities that happen face-to-face are lost. Face-to-face interactions are valuable and the New Jersey teens get many opportunities in a supportive setting at Camp Pocono Trails.
Many New Jersey teens today report that they don't have as strong of a social network or as deep of friendships as their parents and grandparents did, mostly because of our current use of social media. Social media networks allow us to have an artificial way of partaking in our acquaintances' lives, liking their posts, commenting on photos, but not actually participating and showing true support.
Often at Camp Pocono Trails teens easily make friendships because they meet other kids who struggle with some of the same issues and feel the same way they do. It's easier to break the ice when you aren't the only shy kid, or the only one trying something new for the first time.
For parents of New Jersey teens, watching your teenager struggle socially can be hard to watch. At Camp Pocono Trails, we can help them make friends and succeed in social situations. As parents, you can help put your teenager in places and situations where they have the opportunity to grow and meet other great kids. In the ideal situation at Camp Pocono Trails your teen will develop social skills and have the opportunity to work with licensed counselors and social workers. These professionals will teach them how to be socially successful and they will return to New Jersey with increased self-esteem as well as new friends that they made at summer camp!
Not only are friends easy to make at camp but finding opportunities to shine abound at Camp Pocono Trails! We have New Jersey teens participate in drama and improv activities specifically designed to get them out of their comfort zone. This builds muscle memory of in-person interactions and creates transferrable skills of socializing face-to-face as opposed to internet based socialization. Friday night dances are perfect opportunities for everyone to mingle and share success stories. We achieve our goals together and we celebrate our success together! It is no wonder that when parents pick up their teens they are delightfully overwhelmed by their beaming presence and self-confidence. Invest in a summer at Camp Pocono Trails and jump start your journey to a healthier, happier lifestyle!


Moru (moh-ruh) curry, rice, and red fish curry is one of my favorite South Indian food combinations. To me, it's the Indian equivalent to gravy for your mashed potatoes…it's just one of those "musts." Anyway, for such a simple dish, it packs a lot of flavor with its punches of cumin and fenugreek. Give it a try!
First things first, take ½ the amount of ginger and garlic and crush it in a mortar & pestle. Set this aside. Put all the yogurt along with ½ the amount of turmeric and blend it until mixed evenly. Throw in the crushed ginger and garlic and pulse 2-3 times. Set this aside.
Add the shallots and fry until a light golden brown. Again, don't fry these for too long (it can make the curry color dull and taste a little bitter). Once lightly brown, add the turmeric powder and reduce the heat to low.
Slowly pour the yogurt mix from the blender into the pan. You don't want the curry to curd so be sure to stir this frequently. The key to knowing the curry is done is seeing a little steam rise from the yogurt; keep an eye out for this. Once you see the steam, turn off the heat.
Add a pinch of turmeric for color, salt to taste, and a dash of red chili powder. If your moru curry looks thick, add a little water. Enjoy!
This is a fantastic moru recipe!!! Very flavorful, and will forever use it!

The Glasgow graduates who can replace palm oil with coffee.
When we consider food waste, coffee isn't the first thing that comes to mind. But Fergus Moore and Scott Kennedy noticed a growing problem – and their concern inspired a brand new enterprise.
When you think of food waste, you probably picture discarded vegetables, bread, fruit that's gone off. But do you think of coffee? The guys behind Revive Eco did. Fergus Moore and Scott Kennedy are taking on the 500,000 tonnes of spent coffee grounds that go to UK landfills each year and are turning it into fertiliser and an alternative to wildlife-threatening palm oil.
The pair met studying at the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship at Glasgow's University of Strathclyde. "I always liked the idea of being able to create something that would allow me to have an impact wider than just myself," says co-founder Moore, 26.
Moore worked in a Marks & Spencer cafe during his studies and saw first-hand the amount of food that was going to waste at the end of every shift. People would often come in and ask for little bags of used coffee grounds to put into their garden or compost heap and Moore later learned this was because coffee is said to up the acidity of soil, a plus for growing some plants.
It was a lightbulb moment. Moore and Kennedy, also 26, put their heads together to develop a plan for tackling the massive amount of coffee wasted every day across the country. They founded Revive the same week they graduated in 2015.
We want to divert every last ounce of coffee grounds from landfill, and use them to create products like this. #ZeroWaste #CircularEconomy pic.twitter.com/Xhcay9KNyU
— Revive (@REVIVE_Eco) May 21, 2019
"The original idea was to just industrialise the process of people coming in and asking for coffee grounds," Moore explains. "But compost and fertiliser are really low-margin products and the business wasn't viable. Plus we're both interested in the idea of spareability; using all the bits of a thing."
Moore and Kennedy started with research. Both worked full-time on the startup alongside part-time jobs to support themselves (they finally raised enough investment to move out of their parents' houses a year ago). They also turned to their alma mater, working with the University of Strathclyde to get a profile of all the different fatty acids in coffee grounds.
"We discovered straight away that there was something of value in there," says Moore. "Making a cup of coffee is probably the lowest value thing you can do with it."
But the most exciting part of the discovery was its potential as a local, sustainable replacement for palm oil. Half of the products we buy in supermarkets are thought to have palm oil in them, from shampoo to biscuits to cosmetics, and its production is estimated to have resulted in eight per cent of global deforestation between 1990 and 2008.
The Revive team dubs its business as "waste rejuvenation". The other arm of the business is the development of technology to extract oils from it to be used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, household products or back into the food and drinks industry – sustainably.
For now they're collecting around a tonne a week from big institutions around Scotland – the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Glasgow Science Centre and exhibition centre, the University of Edinburgh, Ibis hotels – which is mostly going to composting, animal bedding and soil conditioners. But the potential is vast: They also have their eyes on teaming up with other companies to create sustainable packaging.
"We're expecting to continue working with researchers and have the first demonstration unit up and running in Glasgow in October," says Moore. "If all goes to plan, we'll be moving into a fully-fledged commercial unit next year.
Moore and Kennedy secured a grant from Zero Waste Scotland at the start of the year, but like most startups money is the greatest challenge they face. "Plus, we aren't chemists or engineers so trying to convince people that we are the right people to move this forward is a lot more difficult than if we could put a degree in front of them. But our relative naivety helped when we had to take a leap of faith."
Revive does no outbound marketing, but still has two or three new organisations getting in touch a week to request their coffee waste-collecting service. Moore agrees it's not something a lot of people think of in terms of food waste.
"You probably use probably instant coffee at home so you don't see any waste, or it'll be a pod so you think of the pod as being the waste. If you go to a cafe all you see is that tiny puck of coffee. You don't think that behind you is another 2,000 customers about to get that as well."
Starting a business in a new field, says Moore, flipped his perception of a 'steep learning curve' on its head. "We'd never done financial projections before, any kind of accounting or tax, didn't know anything about anything really. You just have to go and learn it or ask for help. It's always OK to ask for help."

Long gains on defensive lapses adding up to notorious Rutgers' season
Ryan Dunleavy • November 17, 2013
PISCATAWAY — The leaders of the Rutgers football team's defense are sticking to the idea that the big gains it keeps allowing are the result of one player messing up an assignment. The larger issue in need of addressing is that the player can't be benched … because it seems to be a different culprit every time.
Rutgers allowed 11 more plays of 20 yards or more — including six in the first quarter — during Saturday's 52-17 loss to Cincinnati, which marked the second 35-point home loss after a bye in a three-week span. Houston also had 11 plays of 20-plus yard plays against Rutgers, which has yielded 50 in nine games.
"It wasn't like the whole defense was breaking down. It was one person per play, myself included," an exasperated-sounding junior linebacker Kevin Snyder said. "The one long touchdown pass was (on) me. It's not good. At the same time, we're just a little off. Just a little. There is nothing the coaches can do. They gave us the scheme. They got us prepared to play. And you go out there and you don't play well."
Defensive coordinator Dave Cohen's in-game adjustments began coming under scrutiny long before he was accused Friday of bullying and verbal abuse by former Rutgers cornerback Jevon Tyree stemming from an incident that occurred in a study hall session around the time of spring practice.
Now, the former Hofstra head coach, who was Western Michigan's defensive coordinator before being hand-picked by longtime friend coach Kyle Flood to be Rutgers' linebackers coach and then promoted to defensive coordinator after one season, is running the worst statistical passing defense in school history.
"(Cincinnati) came out with stuff that we didn't see on film but we've got to adjust," middle linebacker Steve Longa said. "That's why we play this game. It's not definite that you are going to see the same things you saw on film. You've got to use your instincts some time."

Football Problems: When Player Valuations Lose Control
By participating in the sports economy, we, on the aggregate, are directly contributing to an inflation in club and player valuations, which in turn raises the price of related goods and services sold to us in the first place. This inflation will only continue to grow as more individuals, fueled by today's youth, adopt football as their sport of choice. Ultimately, we are agreeing that their talents have significantly greater monetary value and societal merit than our very own everyday contributions.
The talents of a footballer are truly incredible to watch, support, and emulate. However, there comes a moment in time when we have to think to ourselves whether if a particular human being can be worth €222 Euro. If the answer is 'no', there is something we can do about it.
August 7, 2017 August 8, 2017 Niral
The protracted transfer saga involving one of football's most electrifying players came to a close earlier this week. The uncertainty over Neymar Jr.'s future in football kept fans at the mercy of news outlets, gossip columns and sports blogs for weeks on end.
After a seemingly never-ending display of salacious gossip, involving Instagram selfies, training pitch bust-ups, and assured claims of loyalty, Neymar Jr. managed to successfully engineer a €222 Million move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain. His decision was ultimately tied to his desire to step out of the shadows of his idol, Lionel Messi, and seal his own legacy while leading a Brazilian revolution at Parc Des Princes. It was only four years ago when Neymar Jr. made the coveted switch from Brazilian club Santos FC to FC Barcelona for a then eye-opening €88,20 Million. The numbers suggest a valuation increase of €33,45 Million per annum, or put into simpler terms, a staggering €91,643 per day playing for the Blaugrana.
Neymar Jr. has tied has committed his legacy to his much publicized €222 Million move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain.
Prior to Neymar Jr.'s switch to the French Capital, the highest transfer in the history of the sport involved Paul Pogba's return back to Manchester United for a whopping €105 Million last year. Cristiano Ronaldo, widely considered the best footballer today, was involved in his own record breaking €94,00 Million move from Manchester United to Real Madrid back in 2009. Word of a £125 Million move for 18-year-old French phenom Kylian Mbappé to Arsenal FC once ruminated at the start of this years transfer window. This record-breaking transfer fee trend will only rise as clubs are increasingly under pressure to please shareholders and fans alike, and a seemingly endless supply of youthful talent continues to emerge onto the main stage. As I've been following this year's transfer market, I've been asking myself the same questions over and over again:
Can this money be better invested somewhere else?
Are we to blame for this incredible rise in player valuations?
As fans of the sport, we often spend our hard-earned money on the latest video games, player-sponsored athletic gear, cable subscriptions with sports packages, tickets to live events, and player-inspired hair products, and even luxurious hotel stays to live like our favorite footballer.
Want to live like you're Cristiano Ronaldo? The Prestana CR7 in Lisbon offers CR fans an experience "full of surprises".
We tend to idolize the sport and its greatest champions, envying every glorious moment that is spent on the pitch. We sometimes want to dress, look and live like the real deal in order to be part of the experience itself. I, myself, am no exception to this rule: In my closet sits an official Team Belgium jersey with 'Hazard' printed in large letters on it's back, purchased during a 2016 trip ahead of the Euro competition. The €110 I impulsively spent on the jersey felt a little silly after Team Belgium's underwhelming performance during Euro 2016, especially considering that it will sit in its barely-used state until football's next great showcase in a year's time.
I recently had the privilege of attending a Copa Del Rey match involving Real Madrid earlier this year. My post on this subject can be found here. While I was lucky enough to have been gifted the ticket through the generosity of another human being, I couldn't help but think of the price that another may have gladly paid for a front row seat during a high-profile event at one of the footballing world's largest venues.
By participating in the sports economy, we, on the aggregate, are directly contributing to an inflation in club and player valuations, which in turn raises the price of related goods and services sold to us in the first place. This inflation will only continue to grow as more individuals, fueled by today's youth, adopt football as their sport of choice. Ultimately, we acquiesce that their talents have significantly greater monetary value and societal merit than our own everyday contributions.
We need to look no further than ourselves in order to find a solution. We can stop supporting the flow of money into mechanisms that feed the clubs, and ultimately, the players themselves. By divesting our investments from sports into other interests will undoubtedly get noticed by the industry, while contributing to a greater health in the overall economy.
In the end, voting with our wallets speaks louder than voting with our words.

Do Social Sharing Buttons Help or Hinder Landing Page Conversion Rates?
By Chad PollittMay 9 /2012
The science/art of landing page optimization for maximizing conversion rates has long been understood. In fact, through testing, many industry insiders have been able to publish best practices to include do's and don'ts; so much so that many of these best practices are considered conventional wisdom today.
Social Proof vs. Conventional Wisdom
However, the mass adoption of social media sharing buttons is relatively new. Some marketers include them on landing pages while others do not. Conventional wisdom says that you shouldn't include them because the only thing you want a landing page visitor to be able to do is fill out a form.
Others might argue that having social proof (lots of likes, tweets, shares, plus ones, etc.) on a landing page might increase the likelihood of a conversion. Not to mention, shares increase the visibility of the landing page. However, in the same vein, social sharing buttons on new landing pages with few likes, tweets, etc. might hinder conversion rates for lacking sufficient social proof.
In the spirit of testing, we here at Kuno wanted to know whether social media sharing buttons help or hurt landing page conversion rates. Below includes one finished test and some preliminary findings from incomplete tests.
The First Test – Link Building Landing Page
This test was constructed long after the original landing page was launched. Therefore, from the first day the variation with the social media sharing buttons already showed lots of likes, tweets, etc. It's safe to say the social media sharing variation for this test began with adequate social proof. The only difference between variation A and B is the inclusion of social media sharing buttons or lack-there-of.
So far, with 110 conversions in the test, the variation without the social sharing buttons is converting 18% better than the variation with the social sharing buttons. This seems to bolster the conventional wisdom that marketers should only allow visitors to fill out a form on a landing page. As it stands now, there are not enough conversions to be 99% confident in the results. However, when the test is complete, the final results will be made available.
The Second Test – Content Marketing Landing Page
This test began upon the initial launch of the landing page. With zero shares there was not sufficient social proof in the beginning of this test. The data is presented pre and post adequate social proof. Social proof was determined by whether or not the buttons had 10 or more tweets, likes, shares, etc. The only difference between the two variations is the social media sharing buttons.
Inadequate Social Proof
With only 67 conversions in the inadequate social proof test, the results cannot be considered statistically significant. However, they do provide a hint as to whether or not social proof helps conversions. Within two days the social media sharing buttons all registered more than 10 shares on the variation with the share buttons.
The variation without the buttons converted two percent better than the variation with the social sharing buttons. While not statistically significant, it does insinuate that not having social media sharing buttons might be better than having them with little or no social proof.
Adequate Social Proof
This is the only test of the three that is statistically significant with 90% confidence. With more than 500 conversions, the variation with social sharing buttons and adequate social proof converted 9 percent better than the version with no social media sharing buttons.
Because the link building landing page test is incomplete and the inadequate social proof test is not statistically significant, the only confident conclusion to be made is that social sharing buttons with adequate social proof can help a landing page convert at a higher rate. However, the link building landing page test is hinting the opposite may be true in some instances. Until the test is complete we can't be sure.
Also, the inadequate social proof test insinuates that not having social sharing buttons on landing pages is better than having them with very few likes, tweets, etc. Obviously, more testing is required, but for now I'm sticking with social sharing buttons on landing pages and recommend that marketers conduct their own tests to gauge their audiences' palates for social media sharing buttons.

Joel Solomon reminds us, "There is $50 trillion that is going to pass hands in North America through death in the next 30 years." It's up to us what the impact of that transfer of wealth will be.
Joel Solomon is the chair and co-founder of Renewal Funds, a mission venture capital firm based in Vancouver, BC. He is also the board chair of Hollyhock, an educational retreat center and the author of the new book, The Clean Money Revolution: Reinventing Power, Purpose, and Capitalism.
The 1960s was a time of cultural unrest and change. Joel's family began to experience commercial success. His father was a pioneer in building shopping malls. At the same time, Joel was caught up in the counter culture.
Joel left the south to attend college. While there, he heard about a single-term governor from Georgia who was going to run for president. Joel finished school early so that he could join Jimmy Carter's campaign to become the president.
As the campaign wound down and Jimmy Carter entered the White House, Joel received some devastating news. He was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (PKD). With PKD, clusters of cysts develop in the kidneys, causing the kidneys to lose function. PKD had claimed the lives of several of Joel's relatives. The doctors told Joel that, without a kidney transplant, the symptoms would eventually be fatal.
Joel encourages people to think about where they work, where they invest and where they shop. "We have a lot more creative power and possibility then we are led to believe," he reminds us.
